In 1943, during the Second World War the body of an English man, William Martin, was discovered off the Spanish coast. The papers he had been carrying were returned to England, where they were carefully examined. They had clearly been changed and that was exactly what the British had hoped would happen, for Martin was a trick designed to fool the Germans.
  Martin did not exist. The body was that of a sailor who looked as though he had died when his boat sank, but in fact he had been ill and died. Leaving the boat to go down, his parents allowed the dead body to be put into the sea near Spain. It was hoped that the Germans would find it and read the fake(假的)papers he carried.
  The papers said that the British would attack the island of Sardinia, when in fact they planned to attack the island of Sicily. The trick was successful. When the British landed on Sicily, most of the heavy German guns had been moved to defend(保卫) Sardinia.

小题2:When the Germans found William Martin they probably thought he _________.
A.was a British spy with important information about the war

D.had the fake papers of the British Army
小题3:When the British found out the papers were changed they concluded _________.
A.Martin did existB.Martin was a German spy

When Frida Kahlo’s paintings were on show in London,a poet described her paintings as “a ribbon(丝带) around a bomb”.Such comments seem to suggest Kahlo had a big influence on the art world of her time.Sadly,she is actually a_much_bigger_name today than she was during her time.
Born in 1907 in a village near Mexico City,Kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症) at the age of seven.Her spine(脊柱) became bent as she grew older.Then,in 1925,her back was broken in several places in a school­bus accident.Throughout the rest of her life,the artist had many operations,but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back.However,the accident had an unexpected side effect.While lying in her bed recovering,Kahlo taught herself to paint.
In 1929,she got married to Diego Rivera,another famous Mexican artist.Rivera’s strong influence on Kahlo’s style can be seen in her early works,but her later works from the 1940s,known today as her best works,show less influence from her husband.
Unfortunately,her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s,even in her home country.Her first one­woman show in Mexico was not held until 1953.For more than a decade after her death in 1954,Kahlo’s works remained largely unnoticed by the world,but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.            (2012·安徽,C)

Rocky Lyons was five years old when his mother,Kelly,was driving along the country road with him.He was asleep on the front seat of their truck,with his feet resting on her lap.As his mom drove carefully down the winding country road,she turned onto a narrow bridge.The truck hit a rock and slid off the road.She attempted to bring it back up onto the road by pressing hard on the gas pedal(踏板) and turning the steering wheel(方向盘) to the left.But Rocky’s foot got caught between her leg and the steering wheel and she lost control of the truck.
The truck fell into a 20­foot ravine(峡谷).When it hit bottom,Rocky woke up.“What happened,Mama?” he asked.“Our wheels are pointing toward the sky.”
Kelly was seriously wounded and blinded by blood.“I’ll get you out,Mama,”announced Rocky,who had surprisingly escaped injury.He climbed out from under Kelly,slid through the open window and tried to yank his mother out.But she didn’t move.
“Just let me sleep,” begged Kelly,who was out of consciousness.Rocky insisted,“Mom,you can’t go to sleep.”
Rocky managed to push Kelly out of the truck and told her he’d climb up to the road and stop a car to get help.Fearing that no one would be able to see her little boy in the dark,Kelly refused to let him go alone.Instead they slowly moved up to the road.The pain was so great that Kelly wanted to give up,but Rocky wouldn’t let her.
Rocky kept repeating the inspirational phrase,“I know you can,I know you can.”When they finally reached the road,Rocky broke into tears seeing his mother’s torn face clearly for the first time.Waving his arms and shouting, “Please stop!” the boy stopped a truck.His mother was sent to hospital.
It took 8 hours to rebuild Kelly’s face.She looks quite different today—“I used to have a straight long nose,thin lips and high cheekbones;now I’ve got a flat cheeks and much bigger lips”—but she has few scars and has recovered from her injuries.
Rocky’s heroics were big news.Everyone was surprised at this little boy’s power.“It’s not like I wanted it to happen,” the boy explained.“I just did what anyone would have done.” “If it weren’t for Rocky,I’d have died,” said his mother.

I’ve often wondered if I might do more good as a travel agent rather than as a psychologist. It seems that I have been more dramatically affected by certain kinds of travel experiences than I ever have.
My trip to Iceland is a fine example of that. The plan was to spend two days in a remote mountain hut in Iceland. I was working on a photographic book about winter in Iceland and needed to capture images of this amazing region of high mountain peaks, smoky volcanoes, and lakes with floating icebergs.
The moment after we arrived, the weather turned extreme making visibility impossible. It snowed so much and the wind blew so hard that we couldn’t leave the tiny hut. To stay warm, we walked around in circles much of the day inside the tiny hut. We tried to call for help but the radio did not work. Day after day, we watched our supplies of food and fuel grow dangerously short. We got acute cabin fever (幽居病) and started going for walks and ski expeditions outside. Even when the weather finally broke, nobody came to get us even though it was three days beyond our scheduled pickup. By the time the rescue team came to pull us out, we had all given up hope.
From then on, the world looks different to me, as does my life. It would have taken me years of psychotherapy to get to the same point.
Almost everyone has a story to tell, and interestingly, most of these experiences were not altogether pleasant at the time. In fact, it appears that the most constructive life-changing journeys were those that involved some sorts of awful and uncomfortable events that forced the person to develop new resources, increase confidence, and solve problems in new ways.
小题1:The writer went to Iceland to ______.
A.enjoy the natural beautiful floating icebergs
B.take photos about the region for a book
C.collect materials for psychological research
D.challenge the high mountains there
小题2:During the trip in Iceland, those travelers faced difficulties EXCEPT that ______.
A.they got lost in the mountain
B.they were short of food and fuel
C.they couldn’t see the surroundings clearly
D.they failed to get in touch with the rescue team
小题3:From Paragraph 3, we learn that the travelers ______.
A.were in despair before they were rescued
B.stayed in the hut for three days altogether
C.got sick because of going for ski outside
D.got rescued immediately the weather turned fine
小题4:Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?
A.The writer is a travel agent who loves difficult challenges.
B.In Iceland the weather is always extreme and it snows a lot.
C.The travellers were so depressed that they needed psychotherapy.
D.Awful journeys may become life-changing events that inspire people.

One day, when I was working as a psychologist in England, an adolescent boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had referred him to me. "This boy has lost his family," he wrote. "He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I'm very worried about him. Can you help?" '
I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems psychology doesn't have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the best thing one can do is to listen openly and sympathetically.
The first two times we met David didn't say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon - in complete silence and without looking at me. It's not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.
Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?
"Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with," I thought. "Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering." Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.
"It's your turn," he said.
After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times about his biking with some friends, an d about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.
Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one - without any words – can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry' on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens. 
小题1:When he first met the author, David________.
A.felt a little excited
B.walked energetically
C.looked a little nervous
D.showed up with his teacher
小题2:As a psychologist, the author_______ .
A.was ready to listen to David
B.was skeptical about psychology
C.was able to describe David's problem
D.was sure of handling David's problem
小题3:David enjoyed being with the author because he ______.
A.wanted to ask the author for advice
B.need to share sorrow with the author
C.liked the children's drawings in the office
D.beat the author many times in the chess game
小题4:What can be inferred about David?
A.He recovered after months of treatment.
B.He liked biking before he lost his family.
C.He went into university soon after starting to talk.
D.He got friends in school before he met the author.
小题5:What made David change?
A.His teacher's help.
B.The author's friendship.
C.His exchange of letters with the author.
D.The author's silent communication with him.
