PART THREE READING COMPREHENSION (24 marks)( A )I didn’t have a close relationship with my father. He worked most of the time. I didn’t see much of him. My cousin, Dick, was the closest friend I had and I used to play with him. I had a lonely but easy life. But everything changed when my father died. He died when I was just six years old. I remember I was taken to the hospital a couple of times to see him. The doctors had not diagnosed (诊断) what he had had. He had a rare disease.

It’s common among Mediterranean people, more than it is in America.Then, after my father’s death, my family moved to a small apartment. There wasn’t much money. It was the Depression (大萧条).

Then we moved to Detroit to live with my uncle George. John and my uncle George treated me as if I were their son. I seldom write about my father, but I miss him now and then. I remember once he took me to watch a movie, a Charlie Chaplin movie. I enjoyed it very much. And I also remember he once picked me up after school. It snowed very heavily on that day.

I waited anxiously, knowing that once I received it I would know how good a writer I really am.When the paper arrived at my classroom, I nearly knocked down five of my classmates to get to the first paper. With a school paper in my hands, I returned to my seat. About a month earlier, I had handed in one of, what I believed to be, my best stories. I named it Symbol of Success.

I turned around and saw the shocked expression of Gene’s face, “Peter, your story got five stars!” I couldn’t believe what I was hea ring. I turned my attention back to my story and saw the five stars at the end of the review that I had not read yet. I looked through the review written by Professor Cullen. She wrote that I had a gift for story writing.I was proud that I achieved what I thought was impossible .For so long I believed I wasn’t as good as I thought I was and that my talent was not enough to cover up my lack of wring skills .But this review proved that I was truly a good writer and that there was a future ahead of me in the field of fiction writing.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Cheerleaders are part of athletic competitions throughout the United States. As their name says, they lead the crowd in cheering for team it likes best.About five years ago, cheerleaders were considered to be simply entertainers. Today they are much more than that.Cheerleading in America has become another form of athletic competition. Cheerleading today are expected to be gymnasts and dancers. They are expected to be quicker and stronger. Many cheerleaders are better athletes than the boys and girls on sports teams. High school cheerleading especially has become more difficult. The students must be in top physical shape. They must be able to jump high, turn circles in the air and lift each other. Teachers say this is the result of the influence of college football and basketball games on TV.They see how the cheerleaders throw each other into the air and perform difficult athletic movements. They want to do the same thing. There is one big difference between the two groups, however. College cheerleaders in America are young men and women.. The men do most of the lifting. At most high schools only girls are cheerleaders. It’s very difficult for them to hold others on their shoulders and throwthem into the air.There are a number of ways high school cheerleaders are improving their skills. They are exercising and lifting weights to increase their strength. And they are attending camps during the summer holiday to learn new techniques. Cheerleaders test their skills by taking part in competitions against cheerleaders from other schools, just like other athletes.Coaches at some high schools say this new kind of athletic cheerleading has caused some problems. They say girls who were soccer and basketball players are now competing, for places on a cheerleaders team. As more girls attempt to become cheerleaders, sports teams suffer from a lack of good players.Title : CheerleadersPlayers of cheerleaders 63.______________________EntertainersToday 64._________________65.__________________ required as a cheerleader Bring able to jump highBeing able to turn circles in the air Being able to lift each otherKinds of cheerleaders High school cheerleaders Mostly/Mainly girls College cheerleaders Young men and womenCheerleaders’ 66.____________Exercising and lifting weights67. _______________during summer holidaysProblems from the newkindof cheerleadingSports teams lacking good playersSection B(6 marks)Directions: Read the following passage.

Do you think you could have a chat with her?” Of course I was very glad to do this.Clare turned out to be a pale little girl, slim and small for her age. After talking to the 8-year-old for a while, we discovered that we both enjoyed reading and writhing short stories.I started visiting the junior school as often as I could during morning break to read aloud some of the books to Clare. After a while, other girls started coming to listen too. Some days I didn’t read and instead just talked to Clare. We talked about herfriends, school work , books we’d read and things we’d done. I told her about the work I was doing sometimes and she always surprised me so much with her great intelligence. We talked about general interesting things they don’t teach in school at her age.I still go to see Clare as often as I can. There are days when I get so excited about Clare, about how brilliant she is and how far she’ll go in life. I’m excited about h ow much she understands about the world. Being with her and talking to her excites me to no end.I just wanted to share that excitement with you and to encourage everyone to help somebody in their life who could use a little bit of support.68.
