The boy asked in a flat       ," Lady ．．． are you rich?"
    "Am I rich? Mercy,         !"  I looked at my shabby slipcover(家具套)．The girl put her cup back in its saucer（茶碟）      .

    (2013·高考重庆卷，D)Not all bodies of water are so evidently alive as the Atlantic Ocean，an S­shaped body of water covering 33 million square miles.The Atlantic has，in a sense，replaced the Mediterranean as the inland sea of Western civilization.Unlike real inland seas，which seem strangely still，the Atlantic is rich in oceanic liveliness.It is perhaps not surprising that its vitality has been much written about by ancient poets.
    “Storm at Sea”，a short poem written around 700，is generally regarded as one of mankind’s earliest artistic representations of the Atlantic.
    When the wind is from the west
    All the waves that cannot rest
    To the east must thunder on
    Where the bright tree of the sun
    Is rooted in the ocean’s breast.
    As the poem suggests，the Atlantic is never dead and dull.It is an ocean that moves，impressively and endlessly.It makes all kinds of noise—it is forever thundering，boiling，crashing，and whistling.
    It is easy to imagine the Atlantic trying to draw breath－perhaps not so noticeably out in mid­ocean，but where it meets land，its waters bathing up and down a sandy beach.It mimics(模仿)nearly perfectly the steady breathing of a living creature.It is filled with symbiotic existences，too：unimaginable quantities of creatures，little and large alike，mix within its depths in a kind of oceanic harmony，giving to the waters a feeling of heartbeat，a kind of sub­ocean vitality.And it has a psychology.It has personalities：sometimes peaceful and pleasant，on rare occasions rough and wild; always it is strong and striking.
    小题1:Unlike real inland seas，the Atlantic Ocean is________.
    A．always energetic
    B．lacking in liveliness
    C．shaped like a square
    D．favored by ancient poets
    小题2:What is the purpose of using the poem “Storm at Sea” in the passage?
    A．To describe the movement of the waves.
    B．To show the strength of the storm.
    C．To represent the power of the ocean.
    D．To prove the vastness of the sea.
    小题3:What does the underlined word “symbiotic” mean?
    A．Living together.
    B．Growing fast.
    C．Moving harmoniously.
    D．Breathing peacefully.
    小题4:In the last paragraph，the Atlantic is compared to________.
    A．a beautiful and poetic place
    B．a flesh and blood person
    C．a wonderful world
    D．a lovely animal

After the winning goal had been scored,the losing team's goalkeeper      the hockey puck out of the net behind him, and      it into the crowd. One of the three young men before us caught the puck and,      in one motion after catching it, threw it back to my son.
    My son looked at the puck as if he had been given a golden     . "Why did that man give me the puck?"  I explained to my son that the man had given him the puck be­cause he knew how      it would make him to have a souvenir from the game, and not just any souvenir, but the puck that had been the      goal in a shootout. It was obvi­ous that he knew it would      more to my son than it would to him.

The pole broke in the middle and fell on the roof of my house, and the North Polar Bear fell through the hole it made into the dining room with my hood over his nose, and all the snow fell off the roof into the house and melted and put out all the fires and ran down into the cellars where I was collecting this year's presents, and the North Polar
    Bear's leg got broken.
    He is well again now, but I was so cross with him that he says he won't try to help me again一I expect his temper is hurt, and will be mended by next Christmas.
    I send you a picture of the accident and of my new house on the cliffs above the North Pole(with beautiful cellars in the cliffs).
    That's all. Good Bye！

    After some time, my daughter became fond of her lessons. Sometimes she        would like to      a little bit when her skill had reached a certain level.
    Surprisingly, my daughter said to me one day, “Mom, I was        that you didn’t give up my piano lessons. Learning it is like climbing a mountain. You’ll feel        when you are on the way. When you look        from where you are, you will realize that you have been making       . But if you       , you’ll never take one more step.” That was the very thing I wanted to teach her.

    When Luca first heard of the Island of Inventions, he was still very young. But its wonders sounded so incredible that they were forever burned in his memory. From that moment, he never stopped searching for clues which might lead him to the island. He read hundreds of adventure books, histories, volumes of physics and chemistry, even music.
    Over time, he pieced together his idea of what the Island of Inventions was like. It was a secret place, where all the great wise men of the world would meet to learn and invent together. Access to the island was totally restricted. To join, you had to have created some great invention for humanity. Only then could you receive the special invitation — which came with directions to the island.
    So Luca spent his youth studying and inventing. Every new idea he got, he made it into an invention, and if there were something he didn't understand, he’d seek others to help him. Soon he met other young inventors and he told them about the Island of Inventions. They too dreamed of one day receiving an invitation letter. 
    As years passed, the disappointment of not receiving their invitation made Luca and his friends work harder and co-operate more. They would meet in Luca's house, share their ideas and build new machines. Their inventions became known throughout the world, and improved the lives of millions. 
    But still, no invitation came.
    They didn’t lose heart. They continued learning and inventing every day, trying to come up with more and better ideas. Fresh young talent joined their group, as more inventors dreamed of getting to the island.
    One day many years later, Luca, already very old, was speaking with a brilliant young man named Roberts, who had written to him, asking him to join the group. Luca started telling the man of the wonderful Island of Inventions, and of how he was sure that some day they would receive an invitation. Surprised, the young inventor interrupted: “You mean this place isn’t the Island of Inventions? Isn't the letter you sent me the real invitation?”
    It was only then that Luca realised that his dream had become true in his very own house. No island could exist which would be better than where he was now. No place of invention would be better than what he and his friends had created. Luca felt happy to know that he had always been on the island, and that his life of invention and study had been a truly happy one.
    小题1:Why did Luca and his colleagues probably never receive an invitation to the island?
    A．Their ideas were not considered worthy enough.
    B．They were too concerned with acquiring fame.
    C．The organization had already broken up.
    D．The island was not a real place.
    小题2:What did Luca learn at the end of the story?
    A．The island of inventions did not exist.
    B．He had wasted most of his life.
    C．He had unknowingly built his own dreamland.
    D．He finally would receive his invitation.
    小题3:Which of the following best describes Luca?
    A．Aggressive.B．Trusting. C．Creative.D．Easy-going.
