The day was bright and sunny, and I started to wonder if she was being too cautious. When snow began to fall at 6:00 pm, I was not worried, thinking we’d have no   38  in catching a taxi back. However, we waited for a while, and all the drivers shook their heads when told of our   39 .
The first driver passed by and gave me a card with a number for me to   40  help. I was filled with   41  , but I had no choice but to lead my three sisters to a nearby place to make the   42 . Then a taxi drew up and we climbed in. The driver did not appear very friendly. Then the light streaming from his headlights showed very   43  why no taxi wanted to take us to our hotel. And I began to understand the driver’s apparently unfriendly silence — he was worried. The steep incline (斜坡) ahead was   44  with snow. The taxi slowly made its way up the hill. Suddenly, we came to a dead stop, and the driver turned to us. “Look! It is very    45  to go forward. You have to get out and walk. If I drive any further, the taxi will slide back,” he said. “Er ... can you keep your headlight on and help my elder sister? The rest of us will follow you up,” I said. The driver   46 .
We made it safely back to our hotel. Even though it   47   for the rest of the days, we could see the silver lining in the cloud(一線希望): the generous soul who helped us.

Many years ago, whites ruled South Africa. Apartheid（種族隔離制度）was the   16  of the land. One evening, two middle-aged blacks met in a “whites only” section of Johannesburg. One of them had a permit to work in the area, the other did not, which   17  he could be put behind bars（關押）for staying in this zone.   18  they saw a policeman coming towards them, and   19 .
“Run!” whispered the man with the permit to his friend, “I’ll   20  .” They started running and the policeman began chasing them, shouting “stop, stop”. Finally he caught the second man.
“Did you think you could outrun me!” he snarled. “Show me your   21 ！”
The man, playing for time, began reaching in his pocket and finally took out his permit. The policeman was surprised and realized that he had been   22 . The man without the permit was now too far away to be caught.
“When you had a permit why did you run!” he shouted   23 .
“Doctor’s   24 ,” said the man. “He has asked me to run a mile every evening.”
“Oh, yes? ” Sneered the policeman. “Then why was your friend   25 ?”
“His doctor has also ordered him to run,” said the man.
The policeman became   26  with anger. “You think you’re very   27 , don’t you?” he snarled. “But tell me, if you were running   28  for your health why didn’t you stop when you saw me running after you? And don’t tell me you didn’t see me chasing you. I know you did!”
“Of course I   29  you were running after me,” said the man.

When I was 11, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺點). Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. In the end, I became so angry that I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.
He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.
I brought the list back to Dad. He refused to take it.” That’s just for you,” he said.
“You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.”
Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. 
小題1:What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint? 
A．He told her not to pay any attention to whatever”enemy”had said.
B．He criticized (批評) her and told her to overcome her shortcomings.
C．He told her to write down all that her” enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true.
D．He refused to take the list and have a look at it.
小題2: What does “Week by week her list grew” mean?
A．Week by week, my shortcomings grew more serious.
B．She had made a list of my shortcomings and she kept on adding new ones to it so that it was growing longer and longer.
C．I was having more and more shortcomings as time went on.
D．Week by week she discovered more shortcomings of mine and pointed them out to me.
小題3: Why did her father listen to her quietly?
A．Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth.
B．Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wantedto show this by keeping silent for a while.
C．Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment.
D．Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true.
小題4: Which do you think would be the best title for this passage?
A．The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had
B．Not an Enemy,but the Best Friend
C．My Father
D．My Childhood

At the onset of a northern winter, many dream of warmer climates.In 1934 the Canadian-born composer Colin Mcphee did more than dream. He set out for the island of Bali.
In his book A House in Bali,Colin Mcphee described how he first gained insight into the essence of Balinese music.For about a month he had been working on transcribing a complete score to a Balinese play he had seen. It seemed impossible that so much beauty could be achieved with a scale(音階)of only five tones.
But the distinctive embellishments(修飾音)of the music eluded him.Fortunately a young household helper and his friend decided to assist. One morning they set two objects next to Mcphee’s piano.They were gangas--metal keyed instruments.The two boys played them in what struck Mcphee as”a fast duet(二重奏） in Morse code”.
At last the composer had found the key to Balinese music.“Wait!” Mcphee would call out from the piano as the boys flew along,“Stop!Please!That bit once more!”
Patiently the boys would stop and began again.But soon they were flying again,faster than ever, amazing Mcphee with their memory and precision. Sometimes the patterns repeated.Sometimes they opened up into something new. Then, suddenly the whole duet would fly apart and the boys would burst out laughing,breaking the spell.
Although Colin Mcphee left the island in 1939,he remained spellbound by Balinese music.And its rich,distinctive sound would colour many of the compositions he would write for the next quarter century.
小題1:From the passage we can learn that_______________________.
A．Colin Mcphee set foot on the island of Bali in late winter
B．The book A House in Bali detailed how Colin Mcphee understood the life of the island

For many writers, writing stories or plays is a part-time job: to support themselves they take on other jobs, such as teaching. It is one sign of August Wilson’s success that for many years he has been able to make a living only by writing plays.
Wilson was born in Pittsburgh and dropped out of school in the ninth grade. He was a good reader, however, and continued his education by reading library books, learning about black nationalist movements of the time, and closely observing(觀察) the lives of the poor people.
In the late 1960’s Wilson set up a theater company called Black Horizons and began to think of ways to describe African-American life on the stage. He had the idea of a cycle of plays, each of which was set in a different decade(十年) of the 20th century, showing how African-American life has developed.
The first successful play of this series was Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom about black musicians in Chicago in the 1920s, who are not accepted by white society. Other plays in the series include Joe Turner’s Come and Gone, about blacks in the 1910s who had moved north to Pittsburgh in search of a new identity; Fences, which focuses on a father–son conflict(沖突) in the1950s; and The Piano Lesson, about a 1930s family that was uncertain about whether to sell the family’s treasure. For the last two of these plays Wilson was awarded Pulitzer Prizes.
Wilson has written eight plays in his cycle, the most recent being King Hedley the Second, a play set in the 1980s. His plays are enjoyed by both the blacks and the whites and engage anyone who is interested in African-American experience.
小題1:Wilson won Pulitzer Prizes for ________.
A．The Piano Lesson & Fences
B． Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom & Fences
C．The Piano Lesson & King Hedley the Second
D．King Hedley the Second & Joe Turner’s Come and Gone
小題2: It is possible that in his series of the 20th –century plays, Wilson plans to write ________.
A．no moreB．two more C．three moreD．four more
小題3:The underlined word “engage” in the last paragraph means ________.
A．award B．benefitC．pleaseD．attract
小題4:What’s the passage mainly about?
A．The life of August Wilson.B．The growth of August Wilson.
C．A cycle of plays of August Wilson.D．August Wilson’s theater company.

I was working as a consultant in a beer company, helping the president and senior vice-presidents form and carry out their new planning projects. It was really a great challenge.
At the same time, my mother was in the final stages of cancer.
I worked during the day and drove 40 miles home to be with her every night. It was tiring and stressful, but it was what I wanted to do. My commitment was to continue to do excellent consulting during the day, even though my evenings were very hard. I didn’t want to bother the president with my situation, yet I felt someone at the company needed to know what was going on. So I told the vice-president of Human Resources, asking him not to share the information with anyone.
A few days later, the president called me into his office.
I figured he wanted to talk to me about one of the many issues we were working on. When I entered, he asked me to sit down. He faced me from across his large desk, looked at me in the eye and said, “I hear your mother is very ill”.
I was totally caught by surprise and burst into tears. He just looked at me, let my crying subside(平息), and then gently said a sentence I will never forget: whatever you need.
That was it. His understanding and his willingness to both let me be in my pain and to offer me everything were qualities of sympathy（同情）that I carry with me to this day.

A．was concerned about himB．drew the president’s attention
