    There was once an 11-year-old boy who went fishing every time he went to an island in the middle of a New Hampshire lake.
    On the day before bass (巴斯鱼) season opened, he and his father were fishing early in the evening, catching other fish with worms. Then he tied on a small silver lure (鱼饵) and put it into the lake. Suddenly the boy felt something very big pulling on the lure. His father watched with admiration as the boy skillfully brought the fish beside the bank. Finally he lifted the tired fish from the water. It was the largest one he had ever seen, but it was a bass.
    The boy and his father looked at the big fish. The father lit a match and looked at his watch. It was 10 pm — two hours before the season opened．He looked at the fish, then at the boy. “You’ll have to put it back, son,” he said．
    “Dad!” cried the boy. “There will be other fish,” said his father. “Not as big as this one,” cried the boy. He looked around the lake. No other fishermen or boats could be seen in the moon-
    light. He looked again at his father.
    Even though no one had seen them, nor could anyone ever know what time he had caught the fish, the boy could tell from his father’s voice that the decision couldn’t be changed．He threw the huge bass into the black water.
    The big fish disappeared. The boy thought that he would never again see such a big fish. That
    was 34 years ago. Today the boy is a successful architect in New York City. He often takes his own son and daughters to fish at the same place.
    And he was right. He has never again caught such a large fish as the one he got that night long ago. But he does see that same fish ... again and again ... every time he has an ethical (道德的) decision to make. For, as his father had taught him, ethics are simple matters of right and wrong. It is only the practice of ethics that is difficult.
    小题1:．How did the father feel when he saw his son skillfully pulling a big fish out of the water?
    A．Delighted．B．Nervous.C．Embarrassed．D．Shocked．
    小题2:What happened when it became clear that the big fish was a bass?
    A．The boy and his father discussed what to do with the big fish.
    B．The boy threw the bass back into the water willingly.
    C．The father made a decision that the fish must be set free.
    D．They worried other fishermen might know what they had done.
    小题3:The successful architect went fishing with his children at the same place because            .
    A．they might catch a big fish thereB．he remembered the moral lesson from his father
    C．he wanted to remember his father D．their children enjoyed fishing there
    小题4:What does the author want to show in the story?
    A．It is easy to say something, but difficult to do.
    B．An ethical decision is not difficult to make.
    C．It is hard to tell right from wrong sometimes.
    D．Fishing helps you to make right ethical decisions.

    Nearly two decades has passed, I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles, it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth. Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
    When James was a teenager, his father   36  him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The   37  was to get James a job.
    James entered the factory, and immediately felt as if the   38  had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot, the windows covered with dust, and the   39  were packed tightly together, running like trains. The fur hairs were flying,   40  a thickened air, and the workers,   41  the pieces of fur together, were bent over their needles   42  the boss marched up and down the rows, searching for them to go faster .James could hardly   43 . He stood next to his father, frozen with fear, hoping the boss wouldn’t   44  at him, too.
    During lunch break, his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him,   45 if there was any work for his son. But   46  there was hardly enough   47  for the adult labours, for no one would give it up once he took a job.
    Thus, for James, it was a   48 . He hated the place. He made a   49  that he kept to the end of his life: he would never do any work that brought   50  to someone else, and he would never allow himself to   51  money off the seat of others.
    “What will you do?” his mother, Eva, would ask him.
    “I don’t know,” he   52  say. He ruled out law, because he didn’t like   53 , and he ruled out medicine, because he couldn’t take the   54  of blood.
    “What will you do?”
      55 , my best professor I ever had became—he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

    On November18, 1995, Itzhak Perlman, the world famous violinist, came on stage to give a concert at Lincoln Centre in New York City. If you have ever been to a Perlman concert, you know that getting on stage is not easy for him. He got polio（小儿麻痹症）as a child, and has to walk with the aid of two crutches（拐杖）now.
    That night Perlman walked slowly to his chair. Then he sat down and began to play. But, suddenly, one of the strings on his violin broke. You could hear it break---it broke with a loud noise.
    People thought to themselves, “He would have to get up to either find another violin or find another string for this one.”
    But he didn’t. Instead, he waited a moment, closed his eyes and then signaled the conductor to begin again. The orchestra（管弦乐队）began, and he played from where he had stopped. He played with such passion and such power.
    Of course, everyone knows that it is impossible to play a symphonic work with just three strings. But that night Itzhak Perlman refused to know that. You could see him changing and recomposing（重新作曲）the piece in his head.
    When he finished, there was a silence in the room. Then people rose and cheered. We were all on our feet, doing everything we could to show how much we appreciated what he had done.
    He smiled and then he said in a quiet tone, “You know, sometimes it is the artist’s task to find out how much music you can make with what you have left.”
    His words have stayed in my mind ever since I heard them. That is also the way of life. Perhaps our task in this quickly changing world in which we live is to make music, at first with all that we have, and then, when that is no longer possible, to make music with what we have left.
    小题1:Holding a concert is challenging for Perlman because ______.
    A．he is just a world famous violinist
    B．he has never performed on stage before
    C．he is physically disabled as a result of a disease
    D．he has difficulty in moving his body
    小题2:When Perlman had just begun playing, ______.
    A．there was something wrong with the violin
    B．he fell ill suddenly
    C．an accident happened and caused a disturbance
    D．a very loud noise arose from the audience
    小题3: If one of the strings suddenly broke, what would an ordinary player do?
    A．He would cancel the concert.B．He would play another violin.
    C．Another performer would play instead.D．The concert would be put off.
    小题4:The audience rose and cheered ______.
    A．to show they are satisfied with Perlman’s performance
    B．to thank the orchestra for their passionate performance
    C．to ask Perlman for another performance
    D．to express their appreciation of Perlman’s creative mind
    小题5: The lesson we draw from the story is that ______.
    A．we should make the best of what we have
    B．what we have is more important than what is lost
    C．we should not care about what is lost
    D．the way of life is to always live with music

    A Tchaikovsky concerto（协奏曲）is what made Romel Joseph fall in love with the violin.
    He learned how to play in Haiti, where he was born, but a Fulbright scholarship brought him to the United States, and he finally earned a master’s degree, reports CBS News reporter Katie Couric. Music had changed his life. He wanted to do the same for the children of Haiti.
    Joseph built a school in Port-au-Prince nearly 20 years ago. He was on the third floor when suddenly “It was like boom boom boom and everything just opened,” Joseph said. “And the next thing I knew I was on the ground.”
    Blind since birth, Joseph tried to feel his way out, but was pinned（夹）beneath heavy concrete（混凝土）. He remained trapped for 18 hours. He prays that his new wife, seven months pregnant（怀孕的）, will be found.
    He is now being treated at Miami’s Jackson Memorial Hospital for two injured legs and an arm.
    Joseph wonders if he’ll ever play the violin again. He can feel sensation（知觉）in his fingertips. He said, “If you were to give me a violin and if I didn’t have to fold the fingers, I would be able to play.”
    Joseph’s daughter Victoria spent three terrifying days unsure of her father’s fate. For her, having him home is the sweetest music.
    “Can you imagine your dad not being able to play the violin?” Couric asked.
    “No, I can’t,” Victoria Joseph said. “But I will love him all the same if he can’t.”
    Romel doesn’t know how many of his 300 students died in the quake. As he waits for news about his wife, Romel Joseph is already planning a return to Haiti to rebuild the school and continue teaching there.
    “We can save two children, 20, 200, 300, 500 through education and music, and these children will make a difference,” Romel Joseph said.
    小题1: Romel began to like music ________.
    A．because he was blind since birth
    B．after he had listened to a famous piece of music
    C．when he got a scholarship to study in America
    D．since he was born in Haiti
    小题2:From what Romel said in Paragraph 6, we can infer that he was ________.
    A．upsetB．fearfulC．excitedD．optimistic
    小题3:To Victoria, the best thing is ________.
    A．to see her father recover from the injury quickly
    B．to listen to her father playing the sweetest music
    C．to play the violin as well as her father
    D．to be sure that her father could play the violin
    小题4:Why does Romel want to go back to Haiti?
    A．To save his students from the earthquake.
    B．To change the life of children by teaching music.
    C．To find out how seriously his school was damaged.
    D．To look for his wife who is pregnant.
    小题5: Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
    A．Music education: keep your creativity alive
    B．A great blind musician and his students
    C．Haiti earthquake: a story of a music teacher
    D．How did some Haiti earthquake victims survive

    A great French writer said that we should help everyone as much as possible because we often need help ourselves. The small even can help the great. To this effect, he tells a simple story. 
    An ant was drinking at a small river and fell in. She tried hard to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant, almost tired out, was still bravely doing her best when a bird saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade (叶片) of grass, which supported her like a boat, and thus she reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass she heard a man coming near. He was walking along barefooted and carrying a gun in his hand. As he saw the bird he wished to kill her, and he would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just before he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the bird immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life. 
    小题1: According to the French writer, we often need help from others, therefore we should________. 
    A．not help others B．help those who may be helpful to us
    C．get as much help as possibleD．help others as much as we can
    小题2:The ant finally got on the bank _______.  
    A．when the water pushed herB．with the help of a piece of wood
    C．with the help of a blade of grass D．when the bird reached out a leg for her
    小题3:The French writer tells the story in order to show _______.  
    A．how an ant saved a bird B．how brave the ant is
    C．how clever the bird isD．even the small can help the great

    If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they become weak. When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.
    If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means —practice.
    Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because people who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.
    So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practice remembering.
    小题1: According to the passage, few people know that _____.
    A．arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some time
    B．when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong again
    C．a person’s memory becomes weak if he does not practice remembering things
    D．it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak
    小题2:The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, ____.
    A．it is his own faultB．his parents are to blame
    C．he is just unluckyD．his arms must be weak
    小题3: According to the passage, we learn that all of us can ____.
    A．become very strongB．become very clever
    C．improve our memory by practicingD．know how to improve our memory
