2．阅读理解

Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem! Here is how it works.

The bed is connected to an alarm clock. First, the alarm clock rings. You have a few minutes to wake up. Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music. The tape recorder in Hiroyuki's bed plays a recording of his girlfriend. She whispers in a sweet voice, “Wake up, darling, please.” A few minutes later, Hiroyuki hears a recordi ng of his boss. His boss shouts, “Get up at once, or you'll be late!”

If you don't get up after the second recording, a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you on the head. The bed waits a few more minutes. What! You're still in bed! Slowly the top of the bed rises higher and higher. The foot of the bed goes lower and lower. Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor. You are out of bed and awake!

Hiroyuki's bed is not in stores. There is only one bed－the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest. Maybe someday a company will make Hiroyuki's bed and sell it in stores. Maybe people will buy millions of beds. Then Hiroyuki will be rich. If the bed makes Hiroyuki rich, he won't need to go to work and he won't need to get up early!

（1）The bed is useful to the people .

A. who can't sleep well

B. who can't get up early

C. who go to bed early

D. who go to bed late

（2）The bed is not connected to .

A. an alarm clock

B. a tape recorder

C. a TV

D. a mechanical foot （3）What will finally happen to Hiroyuki if he doesn't get up?

A. He will slide onto the floor.

B. A tape recorder will play a recording of his boss.

C. A mechanical foot will kick him on the head.

D. The bed will rise higher and higher.

（4）Which of the following is true?

A. Hiroyuki's company has made such beds.

B. Hiroyuki's bed is the only one made for a contest.

C. Hiroyuki has made a lot of money.

D. Hiroyuki needn't get up early now.

（5）The underlined word “whispers” in the second paragraph means “”.

A. speaks loudly

B. speaks sadly

C. speaks angrily

D. speaks quietly

【答案】（1）B

（2）C

（3）A

（4）B

（5）D

【解析】【分析】

（1）推理判断。根据第一段 Is it difficult for you to get up in the morning? Hiroyuki's bed will solve your problem!可知此床是专门为那些早起困难的人设计的。故答案为B。

（2）细节理解。通读短文, 由第二段第一句The bed is connected to an alarm clock可知床与闹钟相连；由Next, a tape recorder in the bed plays soft music可知床与录音机相连；由a mechanical “foot” in the bed will kick you on the head可知床与机器脚相连。所以可得出结论：床上未连接电视。故答案为C。

（3）细节理解。根据第三自然段的Finally you slide off the bed and onto the floor可知最后

你会溜下床站到地上。故答案为A。

（4）细节理解。根据最后一段There is only one bed—the bed Hiroyuki made for a contest.可知这个床是Hiroyuki 为参加竞赛而制作的，故答案为B。

（5）词义猜测。根据上一句可知一开始Hiroyuki床播放你女朋友的录音，可知该句句意为：她用甜美的声音低声说。故推知whisper意为“低声地说”,与D项意思相近。故答案为D。

3．阅读理解

As a new immigrant （移民） in Australia, I sometimes find it hard to get into the local culture. After reading the book Unpolished Gem（《未经雕琢的宝石》）by Australian writer Alice Pung, I found I am not alone. Pung had the same story as me.

The story is set in Melbourne. Pung's parents are from Cambodia. They have lived in Australia for years. But Pung still has difficulties understanding both cultures.

One is the white Australian culture she lives in. The other is her family's traditional Asian values （价值观）. For example, her parents tell her, "You are going to be a lawyer and marry a doctor". This makes Pung want to run away from her life. However, as she argues with her white boyfriend, she knows that traditional Asian values are part of her life. In the end, she happily accepts her own cultural background （背景）.

Since Pung lived in her home country for 18 years, it wasn't easy for her to understand Australian culture. I have found that I feel the same way sometimes. In Asian culture, we put a lot of importance on our studies and getting into a good college. But it seems like Western kids are more carefree.

I liked this book because it really shows what it's like to live as an immigrant. I highly recommend （推荐） it to anyone who wants to know what it's like to be an immigrant.
