On Jan 23, 2012, I was aboard a ship on the Yangtze River, listening to the sound of fireworks and eating plate after plate of dumplings.
On Sunday Feb 10, 2013, I was preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year again – in London’s Chinatown.
It was raining. It was cold. But ever since I left Beijing in August, I had promised myself I would celebrate Chinese New Year – if only to help with my Beijing “homesickness”.
Central London was dressed up for the occasion. There was a stage for a big fireworks display for the evening. Even so, it wasn’t like my real Beijing chunjie.
Even buying a baozi didn’t cheer me up. It cost about 10 times as much as the real thing does in Beijing and got stuck to its rain-ruined paper bag.
Cold, wet and depressed, I ran into a shop for shelter. Suddenly, there it was. Between the packets of dried meat and fish, the bags of rice and the smell of dried noodles in this little Chinese supermarket, I had found home.
An hour later, I hurried into my house with bags of frozen jiaozi, packets of sauce and a large bottle of vinegar. I boiled water, tore open the packets, grabbed my chopsticks and settled down to a feast. This, I thought, is a Happy Chinese New Year.
I even watched the fireworks on TV. After all, why face the British weather when I can bring China home in one bite?
【小題1】 We can conclude from the first three paragraphs that the author ______.
A.likes watching fireworks on the boat |
B.misses Chinese food more than anything else |
C.finds it great fun to celebrate Chinese New Year |
D.misses her life in Beijing very much |
A.a(chǎn) little curious | B.rather tired |
C.a(chǎn) bit comfortable | D.very depressed |
A.She didn’t want to get wet and cold again. |
B.The square is far away from where she lives. |
C.She doesn’t like fireworks very much. |
D.She was too hungry to go out. |
A.Unforgettable Chunjie in Beijing | B.Wonderful Experience in Britain |
C.Finding Home in London | D.Festival in London |
【小題1】D
【小題2】C
【小題3】A
【小題4】C
解析試題分析:本文是一篇記敘文。文章講述了我在英國倫敦“唐人街”過春節(jié)的故事。
【小題1】考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章第三段中的I had promised myself I would celebrate Chinese New Year – if only to help with my Beijing “homesickness”.和Even so, it wasn’t like my real Beijing chunjie.可知,我慶祝春節(jié)是為了消除想家的心理,但即使是這樣,我還是感覺不像真正的北京春節(jié)。所以從這里可以推知,他很想念北京的生活。故選D。
【小題2】考查細節(jié)理解。根據(jù)文章第六段中的Between the packets of dried meat and fish, the bags of rice and the smell of dried noodles in this little Chinese supermarket, I had found home.可知,我在中國超市中找到了家的感覺,及舒適的感覺。所以選C。
【小題3】考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章最后一句I even watched the fireworks on TV. After all, why face the British weather when I can bring China home in one bite?可知,我在電視上看煙花。我為什么要面對英國(寒冷、潮濕的)天氣呢?所以選A。
【小題4】考查推理判斷。根據(jù)文章后三段可知,我在倫敦中國超市和自己的家中看電視煙花,找到了家的感覺。所以,在倫敦找家的感覺是最佳的題目。

I grew up poor – living with six brothers, my father and a wonderful mother. We had 36 money and few worldly goods, but plenty of love and attention. I was 37 and energetic. I understood that no matter how poor a person was, they could 38 afford a dream.
My dream was to be a 39 . When I was sixteen, I could crush a baseball, throw a ninety – mile – per – hour fastball. I was also 40 : my high – school coach was Ollie Jarvis, who 41 me the difference between having a dream and showing strong belief. One particular 42 with him changed my life forever.
It was a summer and a friend recommended me for a summer 43 . This meant a chance for my first income – cash for a new bike and new clothes, and the 44 of savings for a house for my mother. The opportunity was attracting, and I wanted to 45 at it.
Then I realized I would have to 46 summer baseball to handle the work schedule, and that meant I would have to tell Coach Jarvis I wouldn’t be playing. I was 47 about this.
When I told Coach Jarvis, he was as 48 as I expected him to be. “You have your whole life to work,” he said. “Your 49 days are limited. You can’t afford to waste them.”
I stood before him with my head 50 , trying to think of how to explain to him why my dream of buying my mom a house and having money in my pocket was worth 51 his disappointment in me.
“How much are you going to make at this job?” he demanded.
“$ 3.25 an hour,” I replied.
“Well, is $ 3.25 an hour the price of a 52 ?” he asked.
That 53 laid bare for me the difference between wanting something right now and having a goal. I devoted myself to 54 that summer, and within the year I was offered a $ 20,000 contract. I signed with the Denver Broncos in 1984 for $ 1.7 million, and bought my mother the 55 of my dreams.

Most parents, I suppose, have had the experience of reading a bedtime story to their children. And they must have how difficult it is to write a children's book. Either the author has aimed too . , so that the children can't follow what is in his (or more often, her) story, the story seems to be talking to the readers.
The best children's books are very difficult nor very simple, and satisfy both the who hears the story and the adult who it. Unfortunately, there are in fact books like this, the problem of finding the right bedtime story is not to solve.
This may be why many of books regarded as of children's literature were in fact written for . “Alice's Adventure in Wonderland” is perhaps the most of this.
Children, left for themselves, often the worst possible interest in literature. Just leave a child in bookshop or and he will more willingly choose the books in an imaginative way, or have a look at most children's comics ( 連環(huán)畫 ), full of the stories and jokes to which both teachers and right-thinking parents .
Perhaps we parents should stop trying to persuade children into our taste in literature. After all children and adults are so that we parents should not expect that they will enjoy the books. So I suppose we'll just have to compromise(妥協(xié)) over that bedtime story.

From good reading we can derive pleasure, companionship, experience, and instruction. A good book may absorb our attention so completely that for the time being we forget our surroundings and even our identity. Reading good books is one of the greatest pleasures in life. It increases our contentment when we are cheerful, and lessens our troubles when we are sad. Whatever may be our main purpose in reading, our contact with good books should never fail to give us enjoyment and satisfaction.
With a good book in our hands we need never be lonely. Whether the characters portrayed are taken from real life or are purely imaginary, they may become our companions and friends. In the pages of books we can walk with the wise and the good of all lands and all times. The people we meet in books may delight us either because they resemble human friends whom we hold dear or because they present unfamiliar types whom we are glad to welcome as new acquaintances. Our human friends sometimes may bore us, but the friends we make in books need never weary us with their company. By turning the page we can dismiss them without any fear of hurting their feelings. When human friends desert us, good books are always ready to give us friendship, sympathy, and encouragement.
One of the most valuable gifts bestowed by books is experience. Few of us can travel far from home or have a wide range of experiences, but all of us can lead varied lives through the pages of books. Whether we wish to escape from the seemingly dull realities of everyday life or whether we long to visit some far-off place, a book will help us when nothing else can. To travel by book we need no bank account to pay our way; no airship or ocean liner or stream-lined train to transport us; no passport to enter the land of our heart's desire. Through books we may get the thrill of hazardous adventure without danger. We can climb lofty mountains, brave the perils of an Antarctic winter, or cross the scorching sands of the desert, all without hardship. In books we may visit the studios of Hollywood; we may mingle with the gay throngs of the Paris boulevards; we may join the picturesque peasants in an Alpine village or the kindly natives on a South Sea island. Indeed, through books the whole world is ours for the asking. The possibilities of our literary experiences are almost unlimited. The beauties of nature, the enjoyment of music, the treasures of art, the triumphs of architecture, the marvels of engineering, are all open to the wonder and enjoyment of those who read.
【小題1】Why is it that we sometimes forget our surroundings and even our identity while reading?
A.No one has come to disturb you. |
B.The book you are reading is so interesting and attractive. |
C.Everything is so quiet and calm around you. |
D.Your book is overdue; you are finishing it at a very fast speed. |
A.They resemble human friends exactly. |
B.They are unfamiliar types we like. |
C.They never desert us. |
D.They never hurt our feelings. |
A.Your wish to visit some far-off place can be realized through the pages of the books. |
B.To escape from the dull realities of everyday life you should take up reading. |
C.You may obtain valuable experience from reading good books. |
D.Books can always help you to live a colorful life. |
A.“to attract someone’s attention” | B.“to distract someone’s attention” |
C.“to make someone interested” | D.“to make someone very tired” |
