I got my first driver’s license(執(zhí)照)in 1953 by taking driver education in my first year at Central High School in Charlotte,North Carolina. Four years later when it was time to renew my license I was a married woman. Henry and I were living in Baltimore, Maryland. Two weeks before my 20th birthday, Henry drove me to the motor vehicle office on a hot July afternoon. When I got to the office and showed to the man behind the counter my North Catrolina driver’s license,ready to renew, the man told me that I was under age by Maryland law since I was not yet 21. “Mr. Henry Smith, your husband, will have to sign for you,” he said.
I argued,pointing to a very lage belly(肚子)of mine,”I am married. I am having a baby. Why should I have to have someone sign for me to drive?” He answered coldly, “It’s the law, madam?”
Henry encouraged me to calm down,just go ahead and get the license and be done with it “No.” I said. I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.
I called the North Carolina Motor Vehicle Office and renewed my NC license by mail-using my name Susan Brown. And thus it was for the next twelve years. Since Henry was in the army I could drive under my home state license. By the time Henry left the army we were once again living in Maryland, and I had to take the Maryland driver’s exam. Since then I just go in and renew every four years-sign the name Susan Brown,have my new picture taken, and walk out with a license to drive.
小題1:
Susan got her first driver's license           .
A．before she got married to HenryB．when she was twenty years old
C．a(chǎn)fter she finished high schoolD．when she just moved to Maryland
小題2:
Susan failed to renew her license the first time in Maryland because          .
A．she was forbidden to drive by Maryland law
B．she lacked driving experience in Maryland
C．she was to give birth to a baby soon
D．she insisted on signing for herself
小題3:
We can infer from the text that in the U.S.          .
A．American males should serve in the army
B．different states my have different laws
C．people have to renew their licenses in their home states
D．women should adopt their husbands' family names after marriage

小題1:A
小題2:D
小題3:B

小題1:細節(jié)理解題。由第1段可知拿證4年后作者20歲，排除B，由第1句知道是作者在中學第1年取得的駕駛證，排除C，領了證件4年后作者和丈夫在Maryland排除D。選A。
小題2:細節(jié)理解。由第3段I refused to have him sign for me. So I left without a Maryland license.

Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy Onassis was one of the most private women in the world, yet when she went to work as an editor in the last two decades of her life, she revealed（展現(xiàn)）herself as she did nowhere else.
After the death of her second husband, Greek shipping magnate（巨頭）Aristotle Onassis, Jacqueline’s close friend and former White House social secretary Letitia Baldrige made a suggestion that she consider a career（職業(yè)）in publishing. After consideration, Jacqueline accepted it. Perhaps she hoped to find there some idea about how to live her own life. She became not less but more interested in reading. For the last 20 years of her life, Jacqueline worked as a publisher’s editor, first at Viking, then at Doubleday, pursuing（追求）a late-life career longer than her two marriages combined. During her time in publishing, she was responsible for managing and editing more than 100 successfully marketed books. Among the first books were In the Russian Style and Inventive Paris Clothes. She also succeeded in persuading TV hosts Bill Moyer’s and Jose Campbell to transform their popular television conversations into a book, The Power of Myth. The book went on to become an international best-seller. She dealt, too, with Michael Jackson as he prepared his autobiography（自傳）, Moonwalk.
Jacqueline may have been hired for name and for her social relations, but she soon proved her worth. Her choices, suggestions and widespread social relations were of benefit both to the publishing firms and to Jacqueline herself. In the books she selected for publication, she built on a lifetime of spending time by herself as a reader and left a record of the growth of her mind. Her books are the autobiography she never wrote. Her role as First Lady, in the end, was overshadowed by her performance as an editor. However, few knew that she had achieved so much.
小題1:We can learn from the passage that Jacqueline _________
A．because fond of reading after working as an editor
B．was in charge of publishing 100 books
C．promoted her books through social relations
D．gained a lot from her career as an editor
小題2:The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means that_________
A．Jacqueline ended up as an editor rather as First Lady
B．Jacqueline’s life as First Lady was more colorful than as an editor
C．Jacqueline was more successful as an editor than as First Lady
D．Jacqueline’s role as First Lady was more brilliant than as an editor
小題3:What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Jacqueline’s two marriages lasted more than 20 years
B．Jacqueline’s own publishing firm was set up eventually
C．Jacqueline’s views and beliefs were reflected in the books she edited
D．Jacqueline’s achievements were widely known.
小題4:The passage is mainly______________
A．a(chǎn)n introduction of Jacqueline’s life both as First Lady and as an editor
B．a(chǎn) brief description of Jacqueline’s lifelong experiences
C．a(chǎn) brief account of Jacqueline’s career as an editor in her last 20 years
D．a(chǎn)n analysis of Jacqueline’s social relations in publishing

“There’s going to be one less boy in the room!” The words rang in my ears as the criminal(罪犯) pointed his gun against my head. The floodgates opened and tears ran down my face. No one in the courtroom(法庭) moved. Everyone was held silent with fear. A few seconds passed and the criminal put down his gun, turning his back on me.
“Cut!” the director shouted with joy. One take! We had done the scene in just one take. Then all the people who acted in the film went off for lunch.
I got my food and joined them, and the criminal, who had moments before been so scary, took his seat beside me and told us many funny jokes. A table of adults surrounded me, but I was never uncomfortable talking with strangers. I worked with these people and they worked with me. We talked, we laughed, we got to know each other and sometimes we became friends. At the end of the day we all went our separate ways, but we had been drawn close by working together to make this play.
After the show was broadcast, my friends asked if I had been scared of the criminal. At first this sounded funny. He was, after all, a kind and intelligent man. Then I realized that they didn’t see that side of him. Television and films are about creating an alternate(交替的) life that appears real even if for a while. We had been successful in doing that. Even my friends, who knew the real me, were drawn in the make-believe world of our story.
Acting has helped me to feel comfortable in my own skin and in communicating with others. I feel relaxed during interviews and when leadership opportunities come. Change is not threatening(威脅) to me, and I am grateful for the chance to learn and to grow in knowledge and experience in my life.
小題1:
In the film, what was the manner of the author’s character when facing the criminal?
A．Brave and calm.B．Anxious and terrified.
C．Shy and quiet. D．Heroic and fearless.
小題2:
We know from the passage that the author       .
A．is a kind personB．has realized his dream to be an actor
C．has a gift for film actingD．has no experience in film acting
小題3:
When they had lunch, the author        .
A．was too afraid to sit beside the criminal
B．was unwilling to talk with the others
C．was laughing to tears by the criminal’s jokes
D．was comfortable communicating with others
小題4:
Why could the author understand his friends’ questions?
A．He had a close relationship with his friends.
B．The actors performed so well that the audience accepted the story as true.
C．He thought it was normal for the audience to question the actors.
D．He thought they didn’t understand the process of film acting.
小題5:
It can be inferred from the passage that       .
A．the author felt lucky to play in the film
B．it wasn’t the first time that the author had acted in films
C．the author’s friends encouraged him to act in films
D．the author had a successful career because of this film
