三、阅读理解

A

Jed could n’t keep the tears running down his face. His friend,Rob,wanted to help,but the more he talked about it,the worse Jed felt.

―I know how terrible you must feel,‖Rob said, ―Everyone on the team thought the coach would choose you. He must be crazy to let Tom swim the breaststroke (蛙泳)!‖

When the coach told him about the date and place of state swimming meeting for boys of 15 and under,Jed was sure he would be swimming the breaststroke. He even told his family that the team couldn’t win the events without him.

When the coach chose Tom Timmons,the new boy from Springfield,to swim the breaststroke,Jed could hardly believe it. Coach Robertson told Jed he could swim on the relay team,but that offered little consolation.

―I may leave the team,he told Rob. ―I’d rather not swim at all than be on the relay team.‖

―I don’t know whether you should do that or not,‖Rob said. ―We need you on the relay team. Of course,if you say you won’t swim at all,the coach may changes his mind and let you swim the breaststroke.‖

Jed left Rob and headed towards home. He knew it would be embarrassing to have to tell his family and his friends that someone else would take his place. He wondered if he should make up a story and tell his mom and dad that he asked the coach to put the new boy in. Jed didn’t know

B

Mark,a young person,tells me he wants to be a writer. I always encourage such people,but I also explain that there’s a big difference between ―being a writer‖and writing. In most cases these people are dreaming of wealth(财富) and fame (名声),not the long hours alone at a typewriter. ―You’ve got to want to write,‖I say to them, ―not want to be a writer.‖

The reality is that writing is a lonely,private and poor-paying thing. Some writers are successful,but there are a lot more whose dreams are never rewarded (报答). When I left a 20-year job in the U.S.Coast Guard to become a writer,I had no hopes at all. What I did have was a friend who found me a room in a New York apartment building. It didn’t even matter that it was cold and had no bathroom. I immediately bought a used typewriter and felt like a real writer.

After a year or so,however,I still didn’t make much progress in writing and began to doubt (怀疑) myself. It was so hard to sell a story that hardly made enough to eat. But I knew I wanted to write.

I had dreamed about it for years. I wasn’t going to be one of those people who die wondering ―what if‖.I would keep putting my dream to the test –even though it meant living with uncertainty and fear of failure. This is the shadow land of hope,and anyone with a dream must learn to live there.

( )1.Which of the following is NOT the writer’s opinion about writing?

A.poor-pay

B.lonely

C.rewarded

D.personal

( )2.The passage is meant to _____.

remind young people of the hardship that a successful writer has to experience

advise young people to give up their idea of becoming a professional writer

show young people it’s impossible for writers to seek weath and fame

encourage young people to seek good jobs

( )3.From the passage,we can know ____________.

Real writers often find their work interesting and rewarding.

A writer’s success depends on luck rather than on effort.

Famous writers usually live a poor life.

The chances for a writer to become successful are small.

( )4.Why did the author begin to doubt himself after the first year of his writing work?

He wasn’t able to produce a single book.

He hadn’t seen a change for better in his writing.

He wasn’t able to have a rest for a whole year.

He found his dream would come true.

( )5. ―Shadow land‖ in the last sentence refers to _________.

the wonderland one often dreams about.

the bright future that one is looking forward to

a world that exists only in one’s imagination

the state of uncertainty before on e’s final aim is reached
