1．阅读理解

As a young woman， my mother worked in the kitchen of a large farm owned by Fanny Cratty. She was hardworking and had a special skill in making delicious strawberry jam.

Aunt Fanny was single and had no children. She didn't like to share love with others. I thought she was very lonely， although she didn't mind it. She had a workshop where my mother helped her make the best strawberry jam， and everyone in our town bought it. But aunt Fanny asked my mother not to tell the recipe（秘方） of making the strawberry jam to others.

When the strawberries were ripe，my family would pick them together. We talked and laughed， experiencing the fun of picking strawberries. But aunt Fanny never joined us. She just asked us to pick strawberries quickly and make more strawberry jam to make more money for her. Each person in our town said that she just paid attention to money rather than anything else. What a poor woman! It's no use having too much money because she had no family and friends to share her happiness during her lifetime.

Maybe it was the recipe that brought success to aunt Fanny. But to me， it was just a common recipe. Money can make you feel rich for a while， but it is the beautiful days spent with family and friends that truly make you rich.

2．阅读理解

I've loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat writing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I thought that the act of writing is the coolest thing in the world.

Years later, during her final illness, my mother kept different things for my sister and my brother.“ But the desk，” She said, “it's for Helen.”

Although I knew she loved me and she only showed it in action, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. But they never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional （易动感情的）”，but she lived “on the surface”．

I had my own family later. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she forgave me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. It didn't come.

My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I wasn't even sure if the letter had got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I never heard from her!

Now the present of her desk told, as she'd never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside—a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

Many years ago, I was a very shy girl at my school. I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence. Mr. Roberts had kindly stopped me, “Masha, I know you're shy, but you worked hard on this project. If I give you another chance tomorrow, can you find your courage?

I had nodded. I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. When I got home that day, I could see an inviting light from the kitchen windows. Momma was backing. When Momma backed, I always watched and chatted with her. She said it was my company that made her baked goods taste so sweet.

Momma studied my face as I came into the kitchen. “What's wrong, Masha?” Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out. Momma was silent for a moment. Then she said, “Let me show you something.”I followed Momma to her bedroom and carefully took out a blue ribbon that said “First Place” from it.

“I started the school year as the shyest girl on the speech team, but I ended the year as the blue ribbon winner. I won it for public speaking. It wasn't easy—I was not sure of myself at all. I worked hard, and mostly I faced my fears. You just need to find your courage.”

That was the second time someone had told me that. I followed Momma back to the kitchen. What was it that made me so afraid? Soon Momma's sweet cake rose in the pans, and the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage. Momma put a thick piece in front of me. “ There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake.”

I raised a forkful of warm cake to my mouth. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love. I felt safe in Momma's kitchen. It was warm from the bottom of the heart.

The next day I walked to the front of the classroom to give my presentation again. As I faced the class, I remember the ribbon and the smell of Momma's kitchen and then took a deep breath and began to speak with confidence. Finally I succeeded.

（1）Why was Masha unhappy that day?

A. She was not good with her classmates.

B. Her teacher criticized her.

D. Many times

【解析】【分析】这篇文章主要讲述了一个害羞的小女孩在一个报告会上很紧张，表现得很不好，在妈妈的帮助和鼓舞下被母爱感受，最终找到了面对困难的勇气，在第二次挑战中取得了成功。

（1）C 推断题。由I couldn't forget the way I had frozen in front of the class. My hands had shaken so badly that I couldn't read my notes. My voice had become softer even to silence.可知她在报告会中及其紧张，像被冻住了一样，双手颤抖甚至说不出话。显而易见，她在报告会上表现得不好。由I had kept my head down, hoping that the school day would end soon. Tears shone in my eyes. I let the whole story out.她低着头，希望这一天赶紧过去，回家后还哭了告诉了妈妈整件事。由此可见她是因为在课堂上表现不好而不开心。故选C。

（2）B 细节理解题。由第一段老师说的can you find your courage和第四段妈妈说的You just need to find your courage.可以看出共有两次。由第四段That was the second time someone had told me that. 也可以看出共有两次。故选B。

（3）D推断题。由There's nothing better for heartache than Momma's love baked in a cake. All the fear in the world could not take away Momma's love.可知她认为治疗心病最有效的是蛋糕背后蕴含着的母爱，母爱能够战胜所以恐惧。所以很明显帮助她找到勇气的是母爱而不是蛋糕或者其他东西，故选D。

（4）B 主旨大意题。文章多次提到了勇气第一段can you find your courage？第四段You just need to find your courage.the smell of it comforted me as I wondered where I would find my courage由此可见，找到勇气是文章的一条主线，引出了妈妈，是母爱让她找到了勇气，升华了主题。用其他题目都不能很好地概括文章，没有画龙点睛的效果，故选B。

【点评】这是一篇记叙文，同时里面也有作者的一些观点。文章以一个害羞的小女孩找到

了勇气为为线索，证明了母爱的伟大，升华了主题。做题时应该兼顾全文，从全文中推断

出答案，而不能只看一句话，要通观全文。主旨大意题要能够看到作者要表达的内在意思，不能只看到文章的字面意思。

7．阅读理解

There was a man who had four sons. He wanted his sons to learn to not judge things too quickly. So he sent them each on a quest, in turn, to go and look at a pear tree that was a great distance away. The first son went in the winter, the second in the spring, the third in summer, and the youngest son in the fall.

When they had all gone and come back, he called them together to describe what they had seen. The first son said that the tree was ugly, bent, and twisted. The second son said no - it was covered with green buds and full of promise. The third son disagreed, he said it was laden with blossoms that smelled so sweet and looked so beautiful, it was the most graceful thing he had ever seen. The last son disagreed with all of them; he said it was ripe and drooping with fruit, full of life and fulfillment.

The man then explained to his sons that they were all right, because they had each seen but one season in the tree's life.

He told them that you cannot judge a tree, or a person, by only one season, and that the essence of who they are - and the pleasure, joy, and love that come from that life - can only be measured at the end, when all the seasons are up.

If you give up when it's winter, you will miss the promise of your spring, the beauty of your summer, fulfillment of your fall. Don't let the pain of one season destroy the joy of all the rest. （1）From the last paragraph we learn that we _______.

10．阅读理解

Not long ago, my daughter's shoes were scratched（划损）by someone's knife. I took the shoes to the shoemaker to get them repaired. He looked at them and said to me, "If you trust me, I will add more scratches on both of the shoes."

I was surprised and asked why. He explained," As if the openings were made on purpose for a special style". I didn't fully understand him, but I decided to leave the shoes there.

Two days later I dropped by from work to fetch the shoes. At the first sight I found there were indeed five or six more scratches on each shoe, but all the openings were patched（打补丁）by red soft leather（皮革）. They looked special. I couldn't help making compliments（赞扬） on the shoemaker's skills.

Another time, there was a large opening on the back of my wife's sister's white coat. My wife took it over, checked carefully, and then said," Let me take it home and mend it."

Three days later, seeing the coat again, I was shocked: the big opening was taken place by a beautiful flower and it took on a wonderful look. I gave my praise," It's just as beautiful as a piece of art!"

Perfection is impossible to achieve in everything, and so is human's life, which will appear in the form of injury, disability or disease. Since you can't change a wound（伤口）, you should not expect people's pity by exposingthe wound, which shows nothing meaningful. All you can do and have to do is to make up the wound by patches and try your best to grow the most beautiful flower on the wound, and that is the meaning of life.

（1）How did the writer feel about the shoemaker's work?

A. Satisfied.

B. Moved.

C. Magic.

D. Angry.

（2）The word "exposing" in the last paragraph is the closest in meaning to " ".

A. appearing

B. showing

C. seeing

D. feeling

（3）It can be inferred（推断） from this passage that .

A. the shoemaker didn't know how to make shoes

B. the shoemaker fooled the writer on purpose

C. the writer's wife was good at mending coats

D. patches are common in our clothes

（4）Which is the best title for this passage?

A. A Wonderful Wife.

B. The Scratches Shoes.

C. A Kind of Perfection.

D. The Patches of Life.

【答案】（1）A

（2）B

（3）C

（4）D

【解析】【分析】文章大意：本文主要通过讲述鞋匠修补被刮的鞋子和作者的妻子缝补破旧的衬衫两个例子来说明，补丁是不可避免的，生活中的补丁更是不可避免的，我们要学会给伤口打补丁，寻找自己独特的美。

（1）推理判断题，根据第三段最后一句I couldn't help making compliments（赞扬） on the shoemaker's skills. 我忍不住赞美鞋匠的技能。可推断出作者对鞋匠的工作感到满意，故选A。

（2）词义猜测题，根据Since you can't change a wound（伤口）, you should not expect people's pity by exposingthe wound，这一句可知既然你改变不了伤口，你不应该通过暴露你的伤口来期望人们的同情，可猜测出exposing“暴露”和showing“展示”的意思接近，故选B。
