    At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example, when I was 12, I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico, to always put on sunscreen, not to wander away from my grandmother, and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
    But despite her worries, she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens, she continued to give me space to grow and learn, even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year, I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers. While many of them wanted to stay close to home, I couldn't wait to be out in the world on my own. I had been looking forward to this chance for longer than I could remember. And once again, while my mom may not have been happy at the thought of me going away, she was supportive and excited for me. Sure, there were times when she’d nag (不断地唠叨)me about certain choices I made, but for the most part she did not stand in my way.
    One big thing I realized during my senior year was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life, and especially when I was little, the main person I tried to impress was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards; getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
    I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what's important, like education, and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life. Most of all I respect her; she is the strongest woman I know and that's why I have turned out so strong and independent.

    小题3:根据第三段的“I knew she expected nothing but the best from me.”可知，作者的妈妈对作者的期望很高。nothing but 除了。故选A。

    One day a man found a cocoon（茧）of a butterfly in the forest. He sat there for several hours and watched the butterfly. Suddenly a small opening appeared, and the butterfly made its great effort to force its body through that little hole. Then it seemed to stop making any progress. It appeared as if it had gotten as far as it could and it could go no further.
    So the man decided to help the butterfly. He cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon so that the butterfly could come out easily. But to his surprise, the butterfly got a heavy body and very small wings when it came out of the cocoon.
    The man continued to watch the butterfly because he expected that the body would grow smaller at any moment and the wings would become larger and be able to fly. But neither happened. In fact, the butterfly spent the rest of its life crawling（爬）around with a heavy body and small wings. It was never able to fly.
    The man was in his kindness, but he did not understand the nature rules. Before the butterfly came out of the cocoon, fluid（流体）from its body must be forced into its wings, and then it would be ready for flying. It must have a hard struggle to get through the small opening to get its freedom from the cocoon.
    Sometimes struggles are exactly what we need in our life. If God allowed us to go through our life without any difficulties, it would make us fail. We would not be as strong as we could have been; we could never fly.
    小题1:What was the butterfly doing at the beginning of the story?
    A．It was trying to make a cocoon for itself.
    B．It was struggling to get out of its cocoon.
    C．It was flying among the trees in the forest.
    D．It was crawling around quietly on the ground.
    小题2:The man cut off the remaining bit of the cocoon              .
    A．to take the butterfly home
    B．to help the butterfly come out easily
    C．to kill the butterfly
    D．to stop the butterfly growing bigger
    小题3:What do you think of the man?
    A．patient but cruelB．careful and wiseC．kind but unwiseD．brave and funny
    小题4:What does the last paragraph tell us?
    A．Struggles are sometimes necessary in our life
    B．Nothing is difficult if we put our heart into it
    C．Every good deed will come back with a good result
    D．The greatest happiness in the world is to help others
    小题5:What is the best title for the story?
    A．The love for the cocoon.B．The joy of helping each other
    C．The lesson of the cocoonD．The expectation for the butterfly

    Inventor，physicist，surveyor，astronomer，biologist，artist... Robert Hooke was all these and more. Some say he was the greatest experimental scientist of the seventeenth century. Once he worked with renowned（有名声的） men of science like Christian Huygens，Antony van Leeuwenhoek，Robert Boyle，Isaac Newton and the great architect，Christopher Wren.
    Hooke’s early education began at home，under the guidance of his father. He entered Westminster School at the age of thirteen，and from there he went to Oxford，where he came in contact with some of the best scientists in England. Hooke impressed them with his skill at designing experiments and devising（发明） instruments. In 1662，at the age of twenty－eight，he was named Curator of Experiments of the newly formed Royal Society of London. Hooke accepted the job，even though he knew that it had no money to pay him!
    Watching living things through the microscope was one of his favorite occupations. He devised a compound microscope for this purpose. One day while observing a cork (软木) under a microscope，he saw honeycomb－like structures. They were cells—the smallest units of life.In fact，it was Hooke who coined the term “cell” as the boxlike cells of the cork reminded him of the cells of a monastery(修道院)．
    Perhaps because of his varied interests，Hooke often left experiments unfinished. Others took up where he left off and then claimed sole(独占的)credit. This sometimes led to quarrels with colleagues. One work that he finished was his book MICROGRAPHIA，a volume that reveals the immense potential of the microscope. The book also includes，among other things，ideas on gravity and light which may have helped scientists like Newton while they were developing their own theories on these phenomena.
    Hooke made valuable contributions to astronomy too. A crater(陨石坑) on the moon is named after him in appreciation of his services to this branch of science.
    小题1:From the first paragraph，we can know that Robert Hooke __________.
    A．was famous because he worked with many scientists
    B．liked making friends with the famous people
    C．received a lot from other scientists
    D．made contributions to many different fields
    小题2:Robert Hooke probably went to school in __________.
    A．1647　　　B．1634C．1662D．1640
    小题3:Robert Hooke made himself known to some of the best scientists in England by __________.
    A．learning by himself with his father’s help
    B．introducing himself to them
    C．designing experiments and instruments
    D．refusing any reward from Royal Society of London
    小题4:Robert Hooke couldn’t get along well with his colleagues because __________.
    A．he couldn’t finish his work on time sometimes
    B．he had all kinds of interests in his daily life
    C．he was too proud to look up to them
    D．the other scientists took the fruits of his experiments

    My father was Chief engineer of a merchant ship, which was sunk in World War II. The book
    Night of the U-boats told the story.
    Memories
    In September, 1940, my mother, sister and I went to Swansea, where my father’s ship was getting ready to sail. We brought him a family photograph to be kept with him at all times and keep him sail.
    Then I remember my mother lying face down, sobbing. She had heard from a friend that the ship had been sunk by a torpedo(鱼雷).
    I can remember the arrival of the telegram(电报),which in those days always brought bad news. My grand- mother opened it. It read, “Safe, Love Ted.”
    My most vivid memory is being woken and brought down to sit on my father’s knee, his arm in a bandage.
    He was judged unfit to return to sea and took a shore job in Glasgow for the rest of the war. For as long as I can remember, he had a weak heart. Mother said it was caused by the torpedoes. He said it was because of the cigarettes. Whichever, he died suddenly in his early 50s.
    Ten years later I read Night of the U-boats and was able to complete the story.
    Torpedo
    One torpedo struck the ship. Father was in the engine room, where the third engineer was killed. He shut down the engines to slow the ship making it easier for it to be abandoned.
    By the time he got on deck (甲板) he was alone. Every lifeboat was gone except one which had stuck firm. When he tried to cut it free it swung against the ship, injuring his hand and arm. He had no choice but to jump—still with the photograph in his pocket.
    Three days later, he and other survivors were safe in Glasgow. All 23 with him signed the back of the photograph.
    In my room is the book and the photograph. Often, glass in hand, I have wondered how I would have dealt with an explosion, a sinking ship, a jump into a vast ocean and a wait for rescue? Lest（以免）we forget, I have some more whisky and toast the heroes of the war.
    小题1:We can infer(推断) that the mother and children went to Swansea ________.
    A．to meet a friend
    B．to see the father off
    C．to take a family photo
    D．to enjoy the sailing of the ship
    小题2:What did the author learn about the father from the telegram?
    A．he was still alive.
    B．His knee was broken.
    C．His ship had been sunk.
    D．He had arrived in Glasgow.
    小题3:What can we know about the author’s father after his ship was attacked?
    A．He lost his arm
    B．He repaired the engines.
    C．He managed to take a lifeboat.
    D．He was the last to leave the ship.
    小题4:What is the passage mainly about?
    A．A group of forgotten heroes
    B．A book describing a terrifying battle.
    C．A ship engineer’s wartime experience.
    D．A merchant’s memories of a sea rescue.

    That morning, I got the train as always. I was a publishing director and was looking forward to embracing a new day of work, as usual. I would always turn to the crossword(纵横填字游戏), but that day it didn't     . I'd been doing it for 30-old years, but trying to read this one was like walking through syrup（糖浆）:    slow and hard. I thought I must be tired.
    I said to my assistant. The      colleague contacted my wife, Beth, and she drove me straight to hospital. There, confirmation came that I'd had a stroke in the part of my brain that communication. I was now in a condition that means it's difficult or   to receive and produce language. It was the only time I     .
    I was back at home a week later, and my goal was to get better and      work in a couple of months. The way to   my language ability was rough. I'd look at simple pictures and try to describe them as my mind      round and round in the darkness, looking for words．
    As the months passed, it became      that I wasn't going to be able to go back to my old job. For 25 years, I had      myself as a publisher. I was used to a busy day of meetings. I enjoyed colleagues and the      I'd had. I didn’t feel ready to say goodbye to my old self. There were times when I felt incredibly     .
    In the darkest months, I devoted myself to     . I couldn't manage novels or newspapers,   I tried reading poetry, and found the shorter lines less overwhelming(势不可挡的). My speech came back, and I learned how to read again, though much more slowly. I also learned the      to keep up. I allowed myself to slow down, and started to enjoy it．
     ,  I get rid of my old skin. I grieved(感到悲痛) the past, its passing and its absence, and started to     it. Now, 10 years later, I look after my grandson a day a week, and my relationship with my family is deeper than ever. If you'd asked me 15 years ago to      the importance of the things in my life I might have said work, but now I'm no longer a high-achieving publisher or someone who reads 10 books a week. I'm a      man, and if I read 10 books a year, that’s pretty good.

    On the first day of college our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn’t already know.
    I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being. She said, “Hi, handsome! My name is Rose. I’m eighty-seven years old. Can I give you a hug?” I laughed and enthusiastically responded, “Of course you can!” and she gave me a giant squeeze.
    “Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age?” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I’m here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel.”
    “No seriously,” I asked. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age. “I always dreamed of having a college education and now I’m getting one!” she told me.
    After class we walked to the student union building and shared a chocolate milkshake. We instantly became friends. Every day for the next three months we would leave class together and talk non-stop.
    I was always mesmerized(催眠) listening to this “time machine” as she shared her wisdom and experience with me. Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon(偶像) and she easily made friends wherever she went.
    At the year end, Rose finished the degree she had begun all those years ago. One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep. Over two thousand college students attended her funeral to pay their respects to the wonderful woman who taught by example that it’s never too late to be all you can possible be.

    A．She wanted to marry a rich husband.
    B．It was her dream to receive college education.

    I was riding my special motorbike this past weekend and stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.”
    He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.
    As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.
    小题1:How did the father feel at first when the author invited his daughter for a ride?
    A．He felt surprised because he didn’t know the author.
    B．He was happy because his daughter could gain excitement.
