     I began to grow up when my parents and I were returning from my aunt's house that winter night, and
my mother said that we would soon leave for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I cried because I could not bear the thought of never hearing the radio program for school children again. I also had to say goodbye to my dear friends and
relatives. I thought about the new country I was going to see-the strange place I had known only from
books and pictures.
     The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(樂觀), but the idea did not come
to me at once. For the first two years in New York, I was really lost-having to study in three schools
because of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and
things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to "the hard times."
     My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with Immigration officers(移民局官員), took my
grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company
representatives.
     From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last!
Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe
that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
1. How did the author get to know America?
A. From radio programs.          
B. From books and pictures.      
C. From her mother.              
D. From her relatives.
2. When leaving for America, the author felt __________.
A. sad        
B. confused      
C. excited      
D. surprised
63 For the first two years in New York, the author __________.
A. often lost her way      
B. did not think about her future
C. studied in three different schools    
D. got on well with her stepfather
4. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 3?
A. She worked as a translator.
B. She attended a lot of job interviews.
C. She paid telephone bills for her family.
D. She helped her family with her English.
5. The author believes that __________.

第一節(jié)閱讀下面兩篇語言材料，然后按要求做題。（共10小題；每小題2分，滿分20分）

A few years ago, I took a sightseeing trip to Washington D.C. I saw many of our nation’s treasures, and I also saw a lot of unfortunate people like beggars and homeless folks in the streets.

Standing outside the Ronald Reagan Center, I heard a voice say, “Can you help me?” When I turned around, I saw an elderly blind woman with her hand extended(伸出). In a natural reaction, I reached into my pocket, pulled out all of my loose change and placed it in her hand. I didn’t even look at her. I was annoyed at being bothered by a beggar.

But the blind woman smiled and said, “I don’t want your money. I just need help finding the post office.”

Immediately, I realized what I had done. I acted with prejudice(偏見)—I judged another person simply for what I thought she was.

The thing I had forgotten about myself is that I am an immigrant. I left Honduras and arrived in America at the age of 15. Through the years, I have been a dishwasher, cashier, mechanic and pizza delivery driver among many other jobs, and finally I became a network engineer.

In my own life, I have experienced many open acts of prejudice. I remember a time, at age 17— I was a busboy, and I heard a father tell his little boy that if he did not do well at school, he would end up like me.

But now, living in my American middle-class lifestyle, it is too easy to forget my past, to forget who I am and where I have been, and to lose sight of where I want to be going. That blind woman on the street of Washington D.C. cured me of my blindness. She reminded me to always keep my eyes and heart open.

1. When the author came to America at first ______.

A. he usually did some work with a little payment.          

B. he used to beg for some money on the street.

C. he lived a comfortable life as a network engineer.  

D. he was respected by others all the time.

2. According to the passage, what did the author regret?

A. That he gave all his change to the blind woman.   

B. The way he treated the blind woman.

C. That he came to Washington D.C. for a visit.  

D. That he didn’t tell the woman the way to the post office.

3. The father mentioned in the passage wanted ______. 

A. to encourage his son to make a living by himself   

B. his son to become a busboy in the future  

C. his son to work harder at school

D. to remind his son to depend on himself at school

4. We can infer all of the following statements from the passage EXCEPT ______.

A. He disliked being bothered by beggars.  

B. He was delighted to give away his money to beggars.    

C. He once suffered a lot.      

D. The blind woman didn’t beg for money at that time.

5. What does the author want to tell us through this story?

A. Don’t dream up ways to get what you want.     B. Money is the root of all evils.

C. An easy life makes a person forgetful.   D. Be good to others all the time.

III. 閱讀理解

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的A、B、C、D選項中，選出最佳選項。

I’ve written 14 movies. My characters smoke in many of them, and they look cool and glamorous doing it. Smoking was an integral（必需的） part of many of my screenplays because I was a heavy smoker. It was part of a bad-boy image I’d cultivated for a long time— smoking, drinking, partying, rock ’n’ roll.

Smoking, I once believed, was every person’s right. The second-hand smoke was non-existent problem invented by professional do-gooders. I put all these views into my plays.

Remembering all this, I find it hard to forgive myself. I have been an accomplice (幫兇) to the murders of untold numbers of human beings. I am admitting this only because I have made a deal with God. Spare me, I said, and I will try to stop others from committing the same crimes I did.

Eighteen months ago I was diagnosed with throat cancer, the result of a lifetime of smoking. I am alive but disabled. Much of my larynx (喉) is gone. I have some difficulty speaking; others have some difficulty understanding me.

I haven’t smoked or drunk for 18 months now, though I still take it day by day and pray for help. I believe in prayer and exercise. I have walked five miles a day for a year, without missing even one day. Quitting smoking and drinking has taught me the hardest lesson I’ve ever learned about my own weakness; it has also given me the greatest affection and empathy(同感) for those still addicted.

I don’t think smoking is every person’s right anymore. I think smoking should be as illegal as heroin. I’m no longer such a bad boy. I go to church on Sunday. I’m desperate to see my four boys grow up. I want to do everything I can to undo the damage I have done with my own big-screen words and images.

Screen writers know, too, that some movie stars are more likely to play a part if they can smoke —because they are so addicted to smoking that they have difficulty stopping even during the shooting of a scene.

My hands are bloody; so are Hollywood’s. My cancer has caused me to attempt to cleanse me. I don’t wish my fate upon anyone in Hollywood, but I beg that Hollywood should stop putting it upon millions of others.

1. The main idea of this passage probably is _________.

A. the writer is ashamed of the bad effects his screenplays have had on human beings

B. the writer’s smoking experience nearly killed himself

C. the bad effects that Hollywood screenplay have brought to children

D. the determination of the writer to overcome his illness

2. How do you think the writer has realized his mistake?

A. So many people have found the habit of smoking due to his plays.

B. His plays have brought great harm to teenagers.

C. He himself suffered greatly from smoking.

D. His screenplays have been doing more and more harm to human beings.

3. What is the writer determined to do in future?

A. He has made up his mind to give up smoking forever.

B. He will try his best to prevent others from writing screen plays encouraging smoking.

C. He will try his best to bring up his four children.

D. He has decided to write his screenplays without smoking scenes.

4. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.

A. the writer will soon be recovered from his illness thanks to his exercise

B. the writer will soon die because of his deadly disease

C. smoking will be got rid of in all Hollywood films

D. smoking in Hollywood films is still doing great harm to human beings

閱讀理解
     I had this exchange with my 6yearold son last week.
     Him:Mom,  we have to start buying Danimals.
     Me:Why?
     Him:So,  I can bring it to school for lunch.It's yogurt.
     Me:Why do you want it so badly?
     Him:Because Danimals is giving away five fantastic Caribbean vacations.
     I had to explain that there was little chance that he would win a vacation.It's a strategy used to
encourage kids to beg for artificiallycolored (人工著色的) yogurt that costs a lot.
     Marketing follows my kids-and yours-wherever they go.It comes via TV commercials.Store displays
and websites are also constantly selling at our kids.But the most powerful means in kids' lives is the
presence of licensed characters on every,  product imaginable.
     Children can begin their day in character clothing.There's even characterthemed wall paint available.A
breakfast in a character bowl can be followed by a character toothbrush and character toothpaste (牙膏),  character soap and shampoo,  and a character wash cloth and towel.Then,  they can put on
character clothing and character shoes.Check that,  character clock on the wall:Is it time for
charactershaped fruit snacks yet?
     Surround kids with enough of the characters and they'll come to believe they need them.Most of us,  
of course,  don't buy all those items.But say no to four products out of five and your home can still get
filled with these tiny items encouraging brand loyalty (品牌忠誠).
     At this time of year,  parents buy licensed school supplies.With so much marketing around us,  it can
be tough to stop the tide.
     "One thing that helps parents is that they can talk to other parents about this kind of thing,  " Linn
suggested."If you decide you want to buck this,  it helps to find other people who will do the same thing.
That way,  if your child says,  'Everyone's doing it,  'you can really have a sense of whether everyone is."

1. From the dialogue between the author and the son,  we can infer that________.

A. the son likes drinking yogurt a lot
B. buying Danimals may win a free tour
C. the son's school encourages kids to eat yogurt
D. Danimals is the most popular yogurt among kids

2. We can learn from the passage that________.

A. character bowls increase kids' appetite
B. characterthemed wall paint is expensive
C. household goods are becoming the target of advertisers
D. Linn considered characterthemed products a foolish marketing strategy

3. What does the passage mainly tell us?

A. Marketing is affecting kids all the time.
B. Most kids now don't have a happy childhood.
C. Kids like buying licensed school supplies a lot.
D. Licensed character products are doing great harm to kids.
