    Last winter ,when I was heavily pregnant , I was visiting my sister and brother-in –law’s house and had to park in a nearby parking lot because they didn’t have accessible parking .The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground –not many people had ventured out that evening !
    When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do.
    All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members --- at least I thought that's what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said "Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said "I am stuck." And the young man said "It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow." And they did!
    When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.
    小题1:Why did the author just freeze when the four young men walking toward her car?
    A．Because she was afraid of being harmed.
    B．Because she sat in her car for too long a time.
    C．Because she was cold indeed in that freezing evening.
    D．Because she knew they would rob her of the car.
    小题2:Which of the following words can best describe the four young men?
    A．Impolite
    B．Ill-mannered
    C．Unfriendly
    D．Warm-hearted.

    A．One of the four teenagers was a gang member.
    B．The kids wanted to help the author out of trouble.
    C．The author would have a baby in her car.
    D．The young men enjoyed pushing cars out of the snow.
    小题4:The best title for the text would be___________．
    A．Every man has his faults
    B．Fortune favors those who use their judgment
    C．Don't judge a book by its cover
    D．Think twice before you do

    小题1:A
    小题2:D
    小题3:B
    小题4:C

    试题分析：本文叙述了作者的一次经历。在故事中作者曾因为几个年轻人的穿着而误以为他们是坏人，但是他们却热心地帮助她摆脱了困境，由此得到的教训是：不要以貌取人。
    小题1:推理判断题。从文章第二段可知当时是晚上11点，作者独自一人，周围没有任何车辆行人，而且从下文从第三段“dressed a bit like gang members”判断作者是害怕遇到坏人，故A选项正确。
    小题2:推理判断题。从第三段"Excuse me, Ma'am, can we help you? You seem stuck." 和"It's okay, stay in your car and we'll push you out of the snow."可知这几个年轻人主动询问而且还帮忙把车子推出雪地，所以应
    该是热心的。D选项正确。
    小题3:细节理解题。从文章第三，四段可知他们在作者遇到困难的时候帮助了她，所以B选项正确。
    小题4:主旨大意题。在文章叙述中可知作者开始因为这几个年轻人的穿着而以为他们是坏人，但是他们却热心的帮助了她，所以文章要表达的中心就是“不要以貌取人”；而且文章末尾embarrassed to have judged them so poorly作者再次点明主题。故C选项正确。

    I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!” At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.
    When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the most “useful” and busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind, well-educated old lady. She was good at cooking. All her rrelatives liked the foodshe cooked. During “fairtime”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.
    Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no loner “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Granma in her house. We did our best to make her day-to-day life as comfortable as possible. I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.
    To attract people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the Fair. One day, when I came back room school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked a lot much younger. She told me that her two nieces would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they want to stay in my house again.” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”
    I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful”, appreciated and helpful.

    A．enjoy Grandma’s foodB．sell and buy things

    Something that has always interested me about Abraham Lincoln is，not surprisingly，his sense of humor. As far as I can tell，he's the first American President to have one．
    That's because the term“sense of humor” really wasn't in common usage until the eighteen-sixties and seventies．In the eighteen-forties and fifties，it was called“the sense of the ridiculous," and didn't have the positive connotations（隐含意义）that“sense of humor" has today. Back then，what was ridiculous was what invited ridicule（讥笑）．Funniness and cruelty went hand in hand．Of course，they still do a lot of arm-in-arm walking in our day as well．
    Lincoln’s humor was very different because，for one thing，it was actually "humor＂as what the word meant in his time. We don't make the distinction between "wit（风趣）”and "humor”anymore; but in the nineteenth century people did．Wit was unpleasant and offensive while humor was pleasant and sympathetic．It’s the difference we note now when we distinguish between "laughing with”and“laughing at．”Lincoln was much more about "laughing with”than "laughing at．”And when“laughing at，”it was often himself he was teasing.
    In the famous Lincoln-Douglas debates，when Douglas accused Lincoln of being two-faced，Lincoln replied，referencing his plain looking，“Honestly，if I were two-faced，would I be showing you this one？”And，in a way，Lincoln's face itself tells us much about his sense of humor．
    You can comb through thousands of photographs of politicians，soldiers，and the like from Lincoln's time and not find a single smile．
    True, the long exposures（曝光）required for photographs of that time made smiling difficult．Yet Lincoln alone，as far as I can tell，overcame that difficulty.
    Interestingly, while having a sense of humor，or at least the appearance of one provided by comedy writers has become a necessary characteristic for an American President in our time，in the nineteenth century，too much humor was considered problem.  And that was the case for Lincoln．A journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates commented that“I could not take a real personal liking to the man，owing to an inborn weakness. . .that he was extremely, fond of jokes，anecdotes，and stories．”
    小题1:We can infer from Paragraph 2 that＿＿
    A．the American President could influence the use of English
    B．the term "sense of humor”wasn't invented until the 1860s
    C．what is funny to someone might be offensive to someone else
    D．the concept of humor remains the same despite the passing of time
    小题2:The underlined words“this one”in Paragraph 4 refer to＿＿．
    A．Lincoln's unattractive face
    B．Lincoln's sense of humor
    C．the debate they were having
    D．cruelty that went with funniness
    小题3:We rarely see people from Lincoln's time wear smile in their photos because＿．
    A．being humorous was considered inappropriate
    B．they found it quite funny to smile before camera
    C．not smiling for photographs was the fashion
    D．photography technology then was not advanced
    小题4:What might the writer think of the journalist covering the Lincoln-Douglas debates？
    A．His comment accurately reflected his time
    B．He created a false picture of Lincoln
    C．He was prejudiced and self-centered
    D．He was brave to point out Lincoln's weakness

    Being able to experience a different environment and custom will give us a new perspective on everything we thought we knew and understood． Maybe, going abroad is an opportunity to look again at not only the country and the people who live there but also ourselves．
    I had never expected to visit Paris． The French culture didn' t interest me that much, and Paris seemed too big, too touristy, too much． But when I found myself standing next to the Opera National de Paris, completely alone and totally lost, I knew I was in for an interesting ride． I had decided to take a summer history class abroad, and Paris just happened to be where it was set． My teacher eventually found me and other jet-lagged students and walked us down to where we would be staying． Even then, tired, hungry, and feeling displaced, I was unable to keep myself from marveling at the beauty of the city．
    The next day in the grocery store, trying to decide if the box I was holding contained butter or cream cheese, I suddenly realized I was a foreigner that didn’t speak the language．The cashier and I had a conversation completely with gestures． For the most part, it didn't seem to bother the French that I was utterly incompetent in speaking their language． In fact, from my first unclear "bonjour" , many of them would directly switch over to English．
    Time Hew by． In the mornings we had class, and in the afternoons we were given a lot of freedom to do what we pleased． We explored everywhere in the city, becoming experts at using the Metro, and walking so much that our legs were sore every night．
    Living in Paris was a huge change in my lifestyle． Everything I did was more relaxed． I stopped worrying about the future and instead focused on living in the present． I stopped wearing a watch because time didn’t matter．We ate when we were hungry, went to bed when we were tired and explored in between．I no longer mind that Paris is so big; it' s an old, beautiful metropolis full of culture and history．On one of my last days there, standing on top of the Arc du Triumph with a 360 degree view of Paris, I finally admitted something to myself．The city that I had never wanted to visit had turned into the city that I never wanted to leave．
    小题1:The writer came to Paris because ______．
    A．he wanted to have an interesting ride
    B．he attended a course in summer
    C．he admired its beautiful scenery
    D．he was alone and lost his way
    小题2:On the first day in Paris, the writer felt _____．
    A．lonely in the big cityB．bored with his visit
    C．surprised at its beautyD．interested in its culture
    小题3:The example of the grocery store is used to illustrate _____．
    A．the little influence of language barrier
    B．the big difficulty of living abroad
    C．the great importance of gestures
    D．the intelligence of French people
    小题4:By mentioning the uselessness of the watch, the author probably wants to prove ______
    A．time in Paris is not worth counting
    B．he enjoys the time in Paris very much
    C．life seems meaningful without time
    D．he has to spend a long time to visit the big city

    I knew I was all right now.  Nobody else would come a­hunting after me. I got my traps out of the canoe and made me a nice camp in the thick woods. I made a tent out of my blankets to put my things under so the rain couldn't get at them. I caught a catfish and towards sundown I started my camp fire and had supper.
    When it was dark I sat by my camp fire, feeling pretty satisfied; but by and by it got sort of lonesome, so I went and sat on the bank and listened to the current crashing along, and counted the stars and drift logs and rafts that came down, and then went to bed; there was no better way to put in time when you are lonesome; you can't stay so, and you soon get it over.
    And so for three days and nights. No difference—just the same thing. But the next day I went exploring around the island.  I was boss of it; it all belonged to me, and I wanted to know all about it; but mainly I wanted to spend the time. I found plenty of strawberries and green summer grapes; and the green blackberries were just beginning to show.
    Well, I went fooling along in the deep woods till I judged I wasn't far from the foot of the island. I had my gun along, but I had shot nothing; it was for protection. About this time I almost stepped on a good­sized snake, and it moved quietly and smoothly through the grass and flowers, and I was after it, trying to get a shot at it. I clipped(疾驰) along, and all of a sudden I bounded(跳) right on to the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking.
    My heart jumped up among my lungs. I never waited to look further, but unlocked my gun and went sneaking back on my tiptoes as fast as I could. Every now and then I stopped a second among the thick leaves and listened, but my breath came so hard that I couldn't hear anything else. I moved quietly along another piece further, then listened again; and so on, and so on. If I saw a stump(树桩), I took it for a man; if I stepped on a stick and broke it, it made me feel that a person had cut one of my breaths in two and I only got half, and the short half, too.
    There was no time to be fooling around. When getting to the camp, I got all my traps into my canoe again to have them out of sight. I put out the fire and threw the ashes around to look like an old last year's camp, and then climbed a tree.
    I suppose I was up for two hours; but I didn’t see or hear anything—I only thought I heard and saw as much as a thousand things. Well, I couldn’t stay up there forever, so at last I got down, but I kept in the thick woods and on the lookout all the time. All I could get to eat was berries and what was left over from breakfast.
    小题1:The underlined part “put in time” in the second paragraph probably means _____.
    A．kill the timeB．take the time
    C．employ the timeD．waste the time
    小题2:Why did the boy always carry his gun with him wherever he went?
    A．To show off his gun.
    B．To hunt some animals for food.
    C．To protect himself.
    D．To play with it for fun.
    小题3:How did the boy feel when he saw the ashes of a camp fire that was still smoking?
    A．Surprised. B．Excited.C．Frightened.D．Puzzled.
    小题4:Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
    A．The boy brought with himself a tent
    B．The boy felt a bit lonely on the island.
    C．The boy was surely the only person on the island at that time.
    D．The boy might be bitten by some animal when the story happened.

    My favorite English teacher could draw humor out of the driest material. It wasn't forced on us either.  He took Samuel Johnson's dictionary, Addison's essays, and many other literary wonders from the eighteenth century and made them hilarious, even at eight o'clock in the morning. The thing that amazed me most was that the first time I read these works on my own some of them seemed dead, but the second time, after his explanation, I couldn't believe that I hadn't seen the humor. The stories and poems and plays were suddenly filled with allusions (典故) and irony (反讽) and hilarious moments. I learned more from him than from any other teacher.
    My least favorite English teacher also made people laugh. Some students found him to be funny. Many others did not. He assigned journals over a six week period, to be written every day. At the end of the six weeks I had a notebook full of bits and pieces about my ideas, short stories, reactions to what we had read, and so on. Our teacher announced that we would be grading each other's journals. Mine was passed to Joe, that class clown, who always behaved in a funny or silly way. He saw it fit to make joke of and said, " This writing isn't fit to line (衬垫) the bottom of a birdcage. " Our teacher laughed at that funny remark. It hurt me so much that the anger from it has driven my writing and teaching ever since.
    So what makes the difference? Humor is one of the most powerful tools teachers or writers have. It can build up students and classes and make them excited about literature and writing, or it can tear them apart. It is true that humor is either productive or counter-productive and self-defeating.
    小题1:The passage mainly discusses ________.
    A．teachingB．literature
    C．humorD．knowledge
    小题2:The underlined word "hilarious" in Paragraph 1 probably means ________.
    A．funnyB．tiring
    C．inspiringD．brilliant
    小题3:The English teacher the writer disliked most ________.
    A．was not able to make students laugh
    B．hurt his students' feelings
    C．didn't let his students do the grading
    D．had no sense of humor
