Chuck,unlike other frogs,didn't like catching flies himself. But he did love eating them.

Some frogs thought Chuck was lazy. Some believed he must think he was too good for them. Some thought Chuck was the strangest frog ever.
That didn't matter to Chuck. Each morning,Chuck jumped over and sat under the spider's web. Then when Lady Eightlegs went off to dip (浸) her feet in the pond,Chuck ate flies from her web.
One morning while Chuck was enjoying his fly breakfast,Lady Eightlegs returned and caught him.
“You're the one who keeps eating my flies!”she cried.
Chuck jumped away and into the pond. Now there was an idea!Why not spin (结) his own web?
He collected some vines (葡萄藤) from a nearby farm. Then he began to spin his web. He worked on his web for hours,until very late at night. And then he fell asleep.
When he woke up the next morning,he found that he got caught by the vines.
“Help!”he shouted.
Lady Eightlegs looked up from the edge of the pond. She hurried up to help Chuck out of the vine web.
“No matter how hard I try,I can't spin a spider's web,”Chuck said.
“Of course not,”Lady Eightlegs said. “You're a frog. Frogs can't spin spider's webs any better than spiders can swim,I guess.”
“But I always see you in the water,”Chuck said.
“I only wade in (蹚水) up to my knees,”Lady Eightlegs sighed. “How wonderful it would be to swim in the middle of the pond and float (漂浮) peacefully under the sun.”
Chuck smiled,“I have an idea.”
From that day forward,Chuck carried Lady Eightlegs out to the middle of the pond,where they floated and played together. When they returned to land,they shared a breakfast of flies from her spider's web.
It wasn't exactly an ordinary friendship. But Chuck was not an ordinary frog.
小题1:The second paragraph is written to show that Chuck ______.
A.was different from other frogsB.didn't get along well with other frogs
C.led a lonely lifeD.was a proud frog
小题2:What do we know about Chuck's web?
A.Lady Eightlegs helped Chuck spin it.B.It was successfully spun by Chuck.
C.It was spun far from the pond.D.Chuck failed to spin it himself.
小题3:It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A.Chuck had tried to catch Lady EightlegsB.Chuck had difficulty collecting vines
C.Lady Eightlegs was very wiseD.Lady Eightlegs swam well
小题4:What was Lady Eightlegs' attitude towards Chuck in the end?
A.Worried.B.Friendly.C.Doubtful. D.Cold.

小题1:A
小题2:D
小题3:C
小题4:B

试题分析:Chuck是一只与众不同的青蛙,他和蜘蛛Lady Eightlegs交了朋友,每天他们一起在水里玩,然后一起去吃蜘蛛网上的虫子。
小题1:推理判断题。根据第二段的描述可知,Chuck是到蜘蛛网上去吃而不是和其他的青蛙一样自己捉来吃。故选A。
小题2:细节理解题。根据文章的No matter how hard I try,I can't spin a spider's web.可知,不管Chuck多努力,就是结不出和蜘蛛网那样的网。故选D。
小题3:推理判断题。根据文章I only wade in up to my knees.可知,蜘蛛只用身体的一点点在水里,最高到膝盖,然后漂浮在水面玩。故选C(蜘蛛很聪明。)。
小题4:推理判断题。根据文章最后的描述可知,青蛙带着蜘蛛在水面玩,然后他们一起吃蜘蛛网上的虫子。前面还提到青蛙被自己编织的网困住,蜘蛛来救他。故选B(蜘蛛对青蛙很友好。)。

Last Friday, I was coming home late after spending time with friends and thought I’d go down to the $99 cent pizza place. On the way, I saw a man sitting on the stairs alone there. I’d seen him before every day I run late to work, but this time I had no place to rush off to.
There was something about him, a quiet manner, different from many of other homeless people I had seen in New York City. I walked past him, went to the pizza place, and those 10 seconds waiting in line was enough to practice stepping outside of my usual, familiar flow. So with a few slices in hand, I went back to join him. I asked him if he was hungry. He said yes, but not for pizza because it made him uncomfortable. He’d rather have a few bucks for chicken and rice since it was easier on his stomach. It’s funny, in that moment, he became more real to me.
This man I had seen almost every day was someone with specific conditions, needs, and experiences. We exchanged names and ended up talking for a little over an hour that night as Kevin told me stories from his life, how he had done things when “he was younger and didn’t know any better” and how he tried to make amends (补偿) but too much time had passed. He shared his views on the value for young adults to learn the history of other people.
He talked about his one wish being in his 60’s before he leaves this earth, which is to share his story with the teenagers and young adults so they could avoid the mistakes he went through. Throughout the conversation, he eventually got his chicken and rice and gifted me a rose he had been carrying. Shortly afterwards, I made my way home, thinking to myself, “I met an amazing homeless person”.
小题1:The writer’s purpose in writing the passage is to ____.
A.share his experienceB.show his generosity
C.express his thoughtsD.exchange his opinions
小题2:The homeless man refused pizza because he ____.
A.did not feel very hungry at that moment
B.had something wrong with his stomach
C.preferred some chicken and rice to pizza
D.might feel ashamed to be given something
小题3:What’s the homeless man’s last wish?
A.To become a lot younger again.
B.To make amends for his early life.
C.To have enough chicken and rice to eat.
D.To teach the young not to follow his example.
小题4:It can be inferred from the text that ____.
A.The homeless man is different from others
B.The writer showed his pity to the homeless man
C.What the homeless man thought shocked the writer
D.What the homeless man did was not very meaningful
小题5:How do you like the homeless man after reading the passage?
A.Learned.B.Honorable.C.Determined.D.Promising.

A man hired a taxi outside the airfield. The cab had a woolen carpet with  26 lace edges. On the glass partition that  27 the driver's seat was a copy of a famous painting. Its windows were all clean.The customer was very much  28 and said to the driver, “I've never seen a nicer  29 .”“Thank you for your praise.”the driver answered  30 .
“The car isn't mine,” said the driver. “It belongs to the company. I used to be a  31 of cabs. When they returned, all of them were as  32 as garbage cans with cigarette butts and rubbish  33 here and there. On the seats and door-handles could be found something  34 like peanut sauce or, chewing gum.Why so? I thought if the car itself were very clean the passengers would most  35 be considerate and refrain from littering.”
“So when I got a  36 to be a taxi-driver, I began  37 my idea into practice-to tidy and  38 the car. Now before a new passenger gets on my car, I'd make a cheek and be sure it is in good order.When my car  39 after a day's work, it always remains  40 .”
When doing a thing, one makes efforts and wants to see the result. To change others, one has to make twice the  41 but get half the result. To change oneself is the other way round-more fruit with less effort. One had better ask oneself why one makes  42 on others much more than on oneself.   43 you take enough care to do as best you can for other people's sake, your efforts will yield results, If you  44 the inner world of your own, examine yourself and wipe out the dust and dirt, instead of fixing your eyes on other people, you will find a cheerful  45 for yourself and create a pleasant environment for others.

I decided to have dinner in the hotel, for I arrived late one night on a business trip. As I was finishing my meal, an elderly couple came in to dine. They were holding hands and had lovely smiles on their faces. They sat three tables from me. I was amazed at the love they showed for each other. It seemed to strike home all the more, because it was shortly after ending a 20-year marriage and I still had pain in my heart.
My waiter was also their waiter. As I paid my bill, I inquired as to what their bill was. He informed me, and I gave him $40 to pay their bill.  He asked if I knew them and I told him "No, I just wanted to repay them for the love that they were showing to each other," and then I departed.
The next day I entered the restaurant to dine before my departure. After I had been seated, the waiter who served me the night before told me that the strangest thing happened after I left the restaurant. 
When the elderly couple went to pay for their meal, they were informed that it had been paid. When they inquired who had done this, the hostess told them they had no idea who I was, just retelling what I said.
The couple were amazed. They looked around, asked for the bill of two young couples who were seated together, paid their bill and departed, saying "Love begets(产生) Love" to the amazement of the hostess and waiter.
I smiled and said "That's nice," and proceeded to order my meal.
About 45 minutes later, I finished my meal and was about to head out, but my waiter was nowhere to be found. I waited and waited and finally walked over to the hostess stand and explained that I needed to pay for my meal and hurry to the airport. She smiled and explained that I would not have to pay for my meal, because both the waiter and she felt compelled to pay my bill due to the joy that was brought to the faces of the elderly couple and the amazement of the young couples.
When I told her that they didn't have to do that, she said with a smile "Love begets Love."
小题1:The writer’s purpose of writing the passage is to            
A.suggest love never dies
B.share an interesting experience
C.encourage us to help people in need
D.prove a show of love really makes a difference
小题2:Why did the elderly couple pay the bill of the two young couples? 
A.Because they were always ready to help poor people.
B.Because they were happy to pass the love they gained.
C.Because they invited the young people to the meal.
D.Because they didn’t want to take the advantage of the writer’s generosity.
小题3:What can be inferred from the story?
A.The love between the elderly couple deeply touched the writer who was single.
B.The young couples paid the bill of other customers in the restaurant.
C.The waiter left on purpose and made the writer stay alone to test him.
D.The writer did all this to prove his belief in love.
小题4:Which of the following proverbs can best explain the theme of the story?
A.A good beginning makes a good ending.
B.Where there is love, there is life.
C.Love me, love my dog.
D.As a man sows, so shall he reap (收获).

I never got along with Dad. But when he was dying. I set off for Nebraska to be with him and my family. I stopped for the night at a hotel with a pool, hoping it would relax me.
The pool area was empty as I walked into the still water. A man in a bathing suit appeared. He sat on the edge of the pool with his legs moving up and down in the water. He had dark hair and deep brown eyes and smiled. “Where are you going?” he asked. When I told him about my father, he asked how we got along. I tried to change the subject, but then for some reason, I told him everything.
Finally the man said, “Even with all the trouble, remember, your father still loves you.” All at once, warm and clear childhood memories came flooding back: Dad running alongside my wobbling(摇摆的)bicycle, the proud hug he gave me at my high school graduation, his laugh when I caught him off guard with a tickle(挠痒). “Yes, I know he does, ” I heard myself say. And for the first time in years I believed it. The man left, leaving me alone with my comforting thoughts.
Back in my room, as I went to bed, I decided it was time to forgive my father. Then I wished he’d forgive me too. The phone bell woke me up at 3 am. My sister’s voice sent a shiver(寒战)through me: Dad had just died. I had wanted to see him and make peace. But as sadness was beginning to surround me, I remembered that the man by the pool had already brought Dad and me together.
