It was the first snow of winter — an exciting day for every child but not for most teachers. Up until now, I had been able to dress myself for recess(課間休息), but today I would need some help. Miss Finlayson, my kindergarten teacher, had been through first snow days many times in her long career, but I think she may still remember this one.
I managed to get into my wool snow pants. But I struggled with my jacket because it didn’t fit well. It was a hand-me-down from my brother, and it made me wonder why I had to wear his ugly clothes. At least my hat and matching scarf(圍巾) were mine, and they were quite pretty. Finally it was time to have Miss Finlayson help me with my boots(靴子). In her calm, motherly voice she said, "By the end of winter, you will be able to put on your own boots.” I didn’t realize at the time that this was more a statement of hope than of confidence.
I handed her my boots and stuck out my foot. Like most children, I expected the adult to do all the work. After much wiggling and pushing, she managed to get first one into place and then, with a sigh, worked the second one on too.
I announced，“They’re on the wrong feet.” With the grace that only experience can bring，she struggled to get the boots off and went through the joyless task of putting them on again. Then I said，“These aren’t my boots, you know.” As she pulled the offending boots from my feet, she still managed to look both helpful and interested. Once they were off, I said，“They are my brother’s boots. My mother makes me wear them, and I hate them!” Somehow, from long years of practice, she managed to act as though I wasn’t an annoying(煩人的) little girl．She pushed and shoved, less gently this time, and the boots were returned to their proper place on my feet. With a great sigh of relief, seeing the end of her struggle with me, she asked, “Now, where are your gloves?’’
I looked into her eyes and said, “I didn’t want to lose them, so I put them into the toes of my boots.”
小題1:According to the passage, the little girl got_______from her brother.
A．the wool snow pants and the jacket
B．the jacket and the boots
C．the jacket and the hat
D．the boots and the gloves
小題2:Why does the author say Miss Finlayson would remember that first snow day?

小題3:We can learn from the text that Miss Finlayson_________.
A．was losing confidence in the little girl
B．gradually lost patience with the little girl
C．because disappointed with the little girl
D．was getting bored with the little girl
小題4:It can be inferred(推斷) that before the little girl finally went out to enjoy the first snow of      winter，the teacher had to help her put on her boots __________.
A．onceB．twiceC．three timesD．four times

小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:B
小題4:D

小題4:歸納題：從全篇文章看我先自己設(shè)法穿上了棉褲和和我哥哥原來穿過的上衣，然后拿起我的靴子，故意刁難老師，我伸出雙腳，等著老師給我穿，但等她給我穿上以后，我大聲抗議道：你穿錯(cuò)腳了。老師用力地替我換鞋子。我說：你知道，這是我哥哥的靴子，我討厭它們。等老師給我穿上后，她又問我：你的手套呢？我幸災(zāi)樂禍地說：我害怕丟了它們，所以將它們藏在了我的靴子里。
所以老師要給她穿四次她才出去玩。選D
考點(diǎn);考查故事類短文閱讀
點(diǎn)評：故事大意是一名幼兒園的小朋友，盡管會(huì)穿衣服，但在這個(gè)下雪的冬日早晨，故意刁難我們的老師Miss Finlayson。文章不難，但是要在字里行間推斷出作者和老師的情緒要求學(xué)生做題更加細(xì)心。

Peanuts to This
Proudly reading my words, I glanced around the room, only to find my classmates bearing big smiles on their faces and tears in their eyes． Confused, I glanced toward my stone-faced teacher． Having no choice, I slowly raised the report I had slaved over, hoping to hide myself． “What could be causing everyone to act this way?”
Quickly, I flashed back to the day Miss Lancelot gave me the task． This was the first real talk I received in my new school． It seemed simple: go on the Internet and find information about a man named George Washington． Since my idea of history came from an ancient teacher in my home country, I had never heard of that name before． As I searched the name of this fellow, it became evident that there were two people bearing the same name who looked completely different! One invented hundreds of uses for peanuts, while the other led some sort of army across America． I stared at the screen, wondering which one my teacher meant． I called my grandfather for a golden piece of advice; flip （擲） a coin． Heads—the commander, and tails—the peanuts guy． Ah! Tails, my report would be about the great man who invented peanut butter, George Washington Carver．
Weeks later, standing before this unfriendly mass, I was totally lost． Oh well, I lowered the paper and sat down at my desk, burning to find out what I had done wrong． As a classmate began his report, it all became clear, “My report is on George Washington, the man who started the American Revolution．” The whole world became quiet! How could I know that she meant that George Washington?
Obviously, my grade was awful． Heartbroken but fearless, I decided to turn this around． I talked to Miss Lancelot, but she insisted: No re-dos; no new grade． I felt that the punishment was not justified, and I believed I deserved a second chance． Consequently, I threw myself heartily into my work for the rest of the school year． Ten months later, that chance unfolded as I found myself sitting in the headmaster’s office with my grandfather, now having an entirely different conversation． I smiled and flashed back to the embarrassing moment at the beginning of the year as the headmaster informed me of my option to skip the sixth grade． Justice is sweet!
小題1:What did the author’s classmates think about his report?
A．Controversial．B．Ridiculous．C．Boring．D．Puzzling．
小題2:Why was the author confused about the task?
A．He was unfamiliar with American history．
B．He followed the advice and flipped a coin．
C．He forgot his teacher’s instruction．
D．He was new at the school．
小題3:The underlined word “burning” in Para． 3 probably means _______．
A．a(chǎn)nnoyedB．a(chǎn)shamedC．readyD．eager
小題4:In the end, the author turned things around _______．
A．by redoing his task
B．through his own efforts
C．with the help of his grandfather
D．under the guidance of his headmaster

When I wandered along a path through woods in the countryside, a small water pool came into my sight ahead. I changed my direction and took the part of the path that wasn’t covered by water or mud to go around it. When I reached the pool, I was suddenly attacked by something several times! It was from somewhere totally unexpected. I was surprised as well as unhurt. The attacker stopped attacking me when I backed up a foot. I couldn’t help laughing when I looked down and found I was being attacked by a butterfly!  
Curiously, I took a step forward to see clearly. My attacker dashed towards me again. He rushed towards me at full speed, attempting to hurt me but failed. For a second time, I took a stop backwards when the attacker paused. I didn’t know what to do. After all, it’s just uncommon that one is attacked by a butterfly. I stepped back to look the situation over. My attacker moved back to land on the ground. That’s when I discovered why the attacker was kept charging me. He had a mate and she was dying.
Sitting tenderly close beside her, he opened and closed his wings as if to fan her. I could do nothing but admire the love and courage of that butterfly in his concern for his mate. He had attacked me for his mate’s sake, even though she was clearly dying and I was much larger than he. He did so just to give her those extra few precious moments of life. I shouldn’t have been careless enough to step on her. His courage in attacking something thousands of times larger and heavier than himself just for his mates’ safety seemed admirable. I was moved and rewarded him by walking on the more difficult side of the pool, leaving them undisturbed. He had truly earned those moments to be with his dear mate.
Since then, I’ve always tried to remember the courage of that butterfly whenever I see huge barriers facing me.
小題1:Why did the writer change his direction while walking down a path?
A．To get close to a butterfly.
B．To avoid getting his shoes dirty.
C．To escape a sudden attack.
D．To look over the bad situation.
小題2:What made the man feel funny?
A．Making the attacker pause.
B．Being stepped on by his mate.
C．Being attacked by a butterfly.
D．Discovering the energetic butterfly.
小題3:From this experience the man learned _____.
A．people should protect butterflies
B．how he should deal with attacks
C．people should show sympathy to the weak
D．what he should do when faced with trouble
小題4:Which of the following word can best describe the butterfly?
A．BraveB．Amusing.C．Careless.D．Strong.
