The telephone rang in the police station at Richmond, California, US. “    station? A train for Santa Fe collided (相撞) a   at the McDonald Street Crossing. Please come here at once. With an ambulance, too. A man is badly wounded,” said an anxious voice of a young woman.
“OK. We’ll come soon. Please stay there and wait.” Replied the policeman.
Within a minute, a police car and an ambulance    off. Soon they got to the crossing, but only to find everything was fine. No collision, no wounded man.
“What a dirty    !” said the policeman angrily. “ We must find out that woman and…”
They had not been able to say anything about a     when they heard the whistle of a train was nearing them quickly. All of a sudden, a truck appeared. It came    towards them, too. When it was passing the crossing, it suddenly    to move on. Right then and there, before the eyes of all the people present, the train collided with the truck heavily and struck it dozens of metres away.
When Randolph Bruce, the driver, was helped out of the damaged truck, he was badly wounded just as the young woman had predicted on the phone. As he was taken to hospital in time, he was    at last. Later the police did whatever they could to    the woman who had     them, but failed.
It is really    that a prediction should agree with the fact so    .

Chuck，unlike other frogs，didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.

Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever.
That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning，Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond，Chuck ate flies from her web.
One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast，Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.
“You're the one who keeps eating my flies！”she cried.
Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea！Why not spin (結(jié)) his own web?
He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours，until very late at night. And then he fell asleep.
When he woke up the next morning，he found that he got caught by the vines.
“Help！”he shouted.
Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web.
“No matter how hard I try，I can't spin a spider's web，”Chuck said.
“Of course not，”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim，I guess.”
“But I always see you in the water，”Chuck said.
“I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees，”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.”
Chuck smiled，“I have an idea.”
From that day forward，Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond，where they floated and played together. When they returned to land，they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web.
It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog.
小題1:The second paragraph is written to show that Chuck ______.
A．was different from other frogsB．didn't get along well with other frogs
C．led a lonely lifeD．was a proud frog
小題2:What do we know about Chuck's web?
A．Lady Eightlegs helped Chuck spin it.B．It was successfully spun by Chuck.
C．It was spun far from the pond.D．Chuck failed to spin it himself.
小題3:It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A．Chuck had tried to catch Lady EightlegsB．Chuck had difficulty collecting vines
C．Lady Eightlegs was very wiseD．Lady Eightlegs swam well
小題4:What was Lady Eightlegs' attitude towards Chuck in the end?

My daughter Alisa was born blind in her right eye and was bullied (欺侮) pretty severely in school. So I quitted my job as a babysitter and then schooled my daughter heart and soul at home.
A year ago a boy of 14 befriended my daughter on Facebook after reading something Alisa wrote about bullying. Today he messaged her and asked if she would like six tickets to a Colorado Rockies baseball game. They have never met in person but she said, “Sure! That would be great.”
Then I received a call from his mother explaining why her son had chosen my daughter. She said he thought my daughter deserved them because of all the good she does in the community. Her son, she explained, had experienced a similar situation and was also home schooled.

We all thanked one another, got in our car, and went our way. As we drove home my daughter opened the envelope. Inside it were the tickets and ＄100 each to buy hot dogs, pay for parking and not have any worries but a great time.

“How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”
“He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.
“Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”
Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.
“And then?”
“Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”
“But who killed Norman?”
“Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”
There was a pause.
小題1:What may have happened to Aryan?
A．He was killed by poison.B．He was found missing.
C．He was poisoned but saved.D．He went away with what he had found.
小題2:What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back?
A．She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .
B．She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.
C．She followed the two men and found what they were doing.
D．She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.
小題3:What can we conclude from the above story?
A．Abbess served the detective.
B．Emma knows all the people mentioned.
C．Aryan was sent to kill Abbess but failed.
D．Norman seemed very devoted to Abbess.
小題4:Which of the following might be true according to the above passage?

The centenary（百年）of the birth of William Faulkner, one of the great modern novelists, was celebrated in September 1997. Faulkner wrote about the southern states of the United States of America where he grew up, and where his family had an important part to play in the history of that region. His work became a touchstone for insights into the troubled issues of southern American identity, race relations, and the family interrelationships of the old time southern gentry(貴族).
Faulkner was born in New Albany, Mississippi on September 25, 1897. Despite his interest in writing, he left Oxford High School, Mississippi, without graduating. After World War I, he entered the University of Mississippi as a special student, a right to study which was granted to retired soldiers, although Faulkner had only finished training with the Air Force in Canada, and not entered combat(戰(zhàn)斗).
Faulkner began to write poems, a verse play, short stories and finished his first novel Sartoris in 1928. His fiction was centered for 14 of the 19 novels published during his lifetime in a fictional region called Yoknapatawpha County. The name is said to come from the Indian Chickasaw word meaning split land.
In December 1950, Faulkner was awarded the Nobel Prize for Literature. When he accepted it in Stockholm, his speech emphasized that he wished to continue writing, but in a positive way that affirmed the power of humanity to prevail over adverse circumstances. As he said in his speech, he still felt that, despite the threat of nuclear war then hanging over the world, the central concern of the writer should be “the problems of the human heart in conflict with itself”. He wanted the tensions and problems that he had cast the spotlight on in the southern states of America to be resolved by the life-affirming attitudes and action of his characters. Like playwright Tennessee Williams, Faulkner was a major voice who spoke for the troubled heart of the southern states of America. His achievement is all the more remarkable because, as a schoolboy, he was not only a frequent absentee but also reportedly failed to reach pass grades in English class. His collected short stories, novels, poems, and other writings form a legacy( 遺產(chǎn)) of literature which casts profound illumination(啟發(fā)) on the special culture of the South, a culture which developed from a history and social circumstances that were always unique.
From the focus on a fictional county, and by remaining true to his view of a close-knit but real society that reflected the greater world around him, Faulkner in the end fashioned a legend of the Deep South that is one of the major achievements of the 20th century literature.
小題1:Which of the following statements about William Faulkner is NOT true？
A．William Faulkner’s work focuses on several troubled problems of southern America.
B．William Faulkner died one hundred years ago.
C．Although William Faulkner did not graduate from high school, he had great interests in writing.
D．William Faulkner once took part in the army when he was young.
小題2:Why did William Faulkner write about the southern states of America?
A．They were the place where he grew up and his family took an important role in the history of that region.
B．His work became a touchstone.
C．He cared about the troubled issues of southern America.
D．He felt sympathy for the poor in southern America.
小題3:Which of the following statements about Tennessee William is true?
A．Both Tennessee William and William Faulkner are playwrights.
B．Tennessee William was a major voice who spoke for the troubled people in southern America.
C．Like Faulkner, he once won Nobel Prize for literature.
D．Tennessee William had to pursue his writing career through difficult times.
小題4:What was William Faulkner’s attitude toward the troubled issues of southern America?
A．He reflected them by writing and criticized them.
B．He intended to call on the troubled people to rebel.
C．The troubled issues of southern America just provided many elements for his novels.
D．He advocated resolving them in positive attitudes and actions.
