    (2013·高考陕西卷，D)About 30 years ago，I left Cuba for the United States with my son.After getting settled finally in Brunswick，New Jersey，I enrolled(注册) my son in kindergarten.Several weeks later，my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.
    In the teacher’s office，and exchange of greetings was followed by his questions：“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”
    Was he talking about my wonderful Scola? NO，no，it can’t be.What a helpless，lonely moment！I told him that Scola was a quiet，sweet little boy，instead.I asked him why he was asking me all these questions.
    My son could not follow the teacher’s directions，he told me，and thus，Scola was disrupting the class，Didn’t he know my son did not speak English yet?
    He was angry；“Why hasn’t your son been taught to speak English? Don’t you speak English at home？”
    No，I didn’t speak English at home，I replied.I was sure my son would learn English in a couple of months，and I didn’t want him to forget his native language.Well，wrong answer！What kind of person would not speak in English to her son at home and at all times? “Are you one of those people who come to this country to save dollars and send them back to their country，never wanting to be a part of this society？”
    Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of “those people”．Then he told me the meeting was over，and I left.
    As I had expected，my son learned to speak English fluently before the school year was over.He went on to graduate from college and got a job，earning close to six figures.He travels widely and leads a well­adjusted，contented life.And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)。
    Speaking more than one language allows people to communicate with others；it teaches people about other cultures and other places—something very basic and obviously lacking in the“educator”I met in New Jersey.
    小题1:The teacher asked the author to his office________.
    A．to discuss Scola’s in­class performance
    B．to get Scola enrolled in kindergarten
    C．to find a language partner for Scola
    D．to work out a study plan for Scola
    小题2:What does the underlined word“disrupting” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
    A．Breaking B．Following
    C．Attending D．Disturbing
    小题3:The author’s attitude towards being bilingual may best be described as________.
    A．critical     B．casual
    C．positive D passive
    小题4:This text is likely to be selected from a book of________.
    A．medicine     B．education
    C．geography D history

    小题1:A
    小题2:D
    小题3:C
    小题4:B
    　本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者通过讲述自己的儿子上学前班不会讲英语的经历，表达了多学习一门语言对孩子的终身发展是有好处的观点。
    小题1:解析：选A。细节理解题。从文章第一段最后一句“Several weeks later，my son’s teacher asked me to meet him at his office.”和第二段中老师问的两个问题“Is your son mentally retarded(弱智的)？Does he suffer from any kind of mental disability？”可知作者孩子的老师是让作者去讨论孩子在班里的表现。由文章第一段第二句中的“I enrolled”可知作者早就给儿子注册了，故B项不正确；老师没有意识到是作者孩子的语言有问题，所以C项和D项也不正确。
    小题2:解析：选D。词义猜测题。由前面的“My son could not follow the teacher’s directions”可知作者的孩子听不懂老师指示，因此“干扰”了课堂，所以该词的意思为“disturbing”。
    小题3:解析：选C。观点态度题。从文章倒数第三段中的“Needless to say，I tried to tell him I was not one of‘those people.’”和文章倒数第二段中的“And he has benefited from being bilingual(双语的)．”可知作者对双语持“肯定的”态度。
    小题4:解析：选B。文章出处题。该文章讲述了在教育中双语教学的益处，因此该文章应该是出自教育类书籍，而不是医药书，也不是地理或者历史方面的书籍。

    (2013·高考山东卷，D)Sparrow is a fast­food chain with 200 restaurants.Some years ago，the group to which Sparrow belonged was taken over by another company.Although Sparrow showed no sign of declining，the chain was generally in an unhealthy state.With more and more fast­food concepts reaching the market，the Sparrow menu had to struggle for attention.And to make matters worse，its new owner had no plans to give it the funds it required.
    Sparrow failed to grow for another two years，until a new CEO，Carl Pearson，decided to build up its market share.He did a survey，which showed that consumers who already used Sparrow restaurants were extremely positive about the chain，while customers of other fast­food chains were unwilling to turn away from them.Sparrow had to develop a new promotional campaign.
    Pearson faced a battle over the future of the Sparrow brand.The chain’s owner now favored rebranding Sparrow as Marcy’s restaurants.Pearson resisted，arguing for an advertising campaign designed to convince customers that visits to Sparrow restaurants were fun.Such an attempt to establish a positive relationship between a company and the general public was unusual for that time.Pearson strongly believed that numbers were the key to success，rather than customers’ spending power.Finally，the owner accepted his idea.
    The campaign itself changed the traditional advertising style of the fast­food industry.The TV ads of Sparrow focused on entertainment and featured original songs performed by a variety of stars.Instead of showing the superiority of a specific product，the intention was to put Sparrow in the hearts of potential customers.
    Pearson also made other decisions which he believed would contribute to the new Sparrow image.For example，he offered to lower the rent of any restaurants which achieved a certain increase in their turnover(营业额)．
    These efforts paid off，and Sparrow soon became one of the most successful fast­food chains in the regions where it operated.
    小题1:Which was one of the problems Sparrow faced before Pearson became CEO?
    A．The number of its customers was declining.
    B．Its customers found the food unhealthy.
    C．It was in need of financial support.
    D．Most of its restaurants were closed.
    小题2:What does the underlined word“them”in Paragraph 2 refer to?
    A．Customers of Sparrow restaurants.
    B．Sparrow restaurants.
    C．Customers of other fast­food chains.
    D．Other fast­food chains.
    小题3:For what purpose did Pearson start the advertising campaign?
    A．To build a good relationship with the public.
    B．To stress the unusual tradition of Sparrow.
    C．To learn about customers’spending power.
    D．To meet the challenge from Marcy’s restaurants.
    小题4:The TV ads of Sparrow ________.
    A．changed people’s views on pop stars
    B．amused the public with original songs
    C．focused on the superiority of its products
    D．influenced the eating habits of the audience
    小题5:What was Pearson’s achievement as a CEO?
    A．He managed to pay off Sparrow’s debts.
    B．He made Sparrow much more competitive.
    C．He helped Sparrow take over a company.
    D．He improved the welfare of Sparrow employees.

    One day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a young 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 introduced him to me before. “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 which 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 silently. And I would do in this way.
    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, and 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 excitedB．walked stubbornly
    C．looked a little nervousD．showed up with his teacher
    小题2:As a psychologist, the author __________.
    A．was uncertain about psychologyB．was ready to listen to David
    C．was able to describe David’s problemD．was sure of solving David’s problem
    小题3:David enjoyed being with the author because he____________.
    A．needed to share pain with the author
    B．wanted to ask the author for advice
    C．liked the children’s drawing 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．His exchange of letters with the author.
    C．The author’s friendship.
    D．The author’s silent communication with him.

    A  Leap to Honor
    Leaping on a narrow balance beam(平衡木) is not easy. But Lola Walter, a 13-year-old gymnast, is an expert at it.
    To perfect her skills, Lola         for four hours a day, five days a week. At the state championships in March, she finished seventh out of 16 girls.
    That’s especially impressive,       she is legally blind, born with a rare condition that causes her eyes to shift constantly. She often sees double and can’t       how far away things are.
    When she was little, her mom       that even though she couldn’t see      , she was fearless. So her mom signed her up for gymnastics when she was three. She loved the       right away and gymnastics became her favorite.
    Though learning gymnastics has been more      for her than for some of her tournaments, she has never quit. She doesn’t let her       stop her from doing anything that she wants to.
    She likes the determination it takes to do the sport. Her biggest      is the balance beam. Because she has double vision, she often sees two beams. She must use her sense of touch to help her during her routine. Sometimes she even closes her eyes. “You have to       your mind that it’ll take you where you want to go.” says Lola.
    To be a top-level gymnast, one must be brave. The beam is probably the most       for anyone because it’s four inches wide. At the state competition, Lola didn’t fall       the beam. In fact, she got an 8.1 out of 10---- her highest score yet.
    Lola doesn’t want to be       differently from the other girls on her team. At the competitions, the judges don’t know about her vision      . She doesn’t tell them, because she doesn’t think they need to know. Her mom is amazed by her       attitude.
    Lola never thinks about      . She is presently at Level 7 while the highest is Level 10 in gymnastics. Her       is to reach Level 9. She says she wants to be a gymnastics coach to pass down what she’s learned to other kids       she grew up.
    Lola is       of all her hard work and success. She says it’s helped her overcome problems in her life outside gymnastics, too. Her       for others is “just believe yourself”.

    The breaking news of Mo Yan's Nobel Prize in Literature on Thursday evening soon aroused public curiosity of the 57­year­old Chinese writer: Why was it him that was favored by the Swedish Academy?
    Born in 1955 into a rural family，Mo dropped out of school and became a farmer when he was a teenager.He joined the military and devoted himself to writing after the Cultural Revolution (1966－1976)．
    Less than half an hour after the announcement，Mo's works turned to sold­out status at China's major online book sellers.One lucky buyer wrote in an online comment: “Rushed to purchase，but to my shame，I have not read any of his novels.”
    Although Mo was entitled one of the top domestic literature awards before the Nobel Prize，he is not the most popular novelist in China，in either the book market or in reputation.
    Mo's novel “Big Breasts & Wide Hips，” translated by Howard Goldblatt，tells a story of a mother who struggled and suffered hardship and intertwined fates with Chinese people in the 20th century.His more recent work “Frog” more directly criticized China's one­child family policy，which helped control the country's population explosion but also brought tragedies to rural residents in the past 60 years.
    “I think the reason why I could win the prize is because my works present lives with unique Chinese characteristics，and they also tell stories from a viewpoint of common human beings，which is above differences of nations and races，” Mo said on Thursday evening to Chinese journalists.Mo also said many folk arts originated from his hometown，such as clay sculpture，paper cuts，traditional new year paintings，have inspired and influenced his novels.
    With more Chinese writers like Mo，the world could learn a more real China.Perhaps，this is another reason for the Swedish Academy's choice.
    小题1:What can we conclude from the second paragraph?
    A．Mo's life experiences.　　　　　　　　B．Mo's family life.
    C．Mo devoted himself to writing.D．Mo had a gift for writing.
    小题2:What can we infer from the passage?
    A．Mo didn't got any national awards before he won the Nobel Prize.
    B．Mo was the top novelist in China before he won the Nobel Prize.
    C．Mo's novels have attracted many people to read.
    D．Mo's novels are all based on his daily life.
    小题3:Which of the following have no effect on Mo's novels according to the passage?
    A．Clay sculpture.B．Paper cuts.
    C．Folk arts.D．Beijing opera.
    小题4:According to the passage，we know that________．
    A．Big Breasts & Wide Hips' leading role is one happy mother
    B．Big Breasts & Wide Hips criticized China's one­child family policy
    C．Frog came out earlier than Big Breasts & Wide Hips
    D．Frog shows benefit as well as shortcoming of one China's policy

    My wife passed away seven and a half years ago, and I went through a huge depression (消沉), the worst time in my life. I even wanted to end my life. I continued to work as a small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Kilauea, Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. On a family trip, we turned on the TV and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. I said to my kids, “I’m going to Afghanistan.” International Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in some provinces where people had no health care. Eventually, the clinics were serving 27,000 patients a month. I had such a sense of accomplishment, a sense of purpose. My depression went completely away.
    I go wherever disasters strike: Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquake. I was just in Kenya. After their presidential election, at least a thousand people were killed and hundreds of thousands were forced out. We set up mobile clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees (难民). Measles broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and medical equipment were also problems.
    When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But really, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, my wife fell into a coma (昏迷). I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit, the exciting adventures we would have. I think about this moment many times during my “adventures”. I did not know then how prophetic (先知的) those words would be. She is with me still.
    小题1:The first country where the author provided people with medical care is _____
    A．IndonesiaB．PakistanC．KenyaD．Afghanistan
    小题2:The underlined word “Measles” in Paragraph 2 probably refers to ____
    A．a kind of fireB．a kind of polluted waterC．a kind of medicineD．a kind of disease
    小题3:The author and his wife ______.
    A．experienced a lot of exciting adventures
    B．loved each other very much
    C．lived on the mainland
    D．would travel to many places together
    小题4:From this passage we know that the author _____
    A．is a famous doctorB．got over his wife’s death
    C．is always in depressionD．experienced many disasters
    小题5:Which of the following word can best describe the story in this passage?
    A．Sad.B．Exciting.C．Inspiring.D．Disastrous.
