    There is a small shop about 200 meters from where I live that sells meat and other basic necessities. About 10 years ago, there was a beggar who would go into the shop every day and ask the owner for a        . The owner,       he would love to help, simply didn't have any jobs available, so he kept       the man's request.
    This situation continued         for a few months, until the owner         to give the homeless man a job which        sweeping outside the shop. Every single day from 5 am, the homeless man was there doing the very        he could for the        , and it did earn him some pennies.        , the owner saw how good a job the man was doing and gave him a job working        a cashier(出纳、收银员). He was watched closely to make sure that he didn't        any of the money received from the sales. He was still homeless,       . The homeless man did a/an        job as a cashier for over 2 years, and did such a good job that he was asked to         the finances(财政、金融) for the whole shop.
    Two years later, the owner        . In his will, he only had one         , to give the whole shop to the "homeless" man. Now, I could walk into that shop and see him working as hard as      , with his own business that is still       and active 10 years after getting his job as a sweeper.

    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.

    “How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”
    “He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.
    “Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”
    Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.
    “And then?”
    “Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”
    “But who killed Norman?”
    “Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”
    There was a pause.
    小题1:What may have happened to Aryan?
    A．He was killed by poison.B．He was found missing.
    C．He was poisoned but saved.D．He went away with what he had found.
    小题2:What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back?
    A．She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .
    B．She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.
    C．She followed the two men and found what they were doing.
    D．She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.
    小题3:What can we conclude from the above story?
    A．Abbess served the detective.
    B．Emma knows all the people mentioned.
    C．Aryan was sent to kill Abbess but failed.
    D．Norman seemed very devoted to Abbess.

    When Marilynne Robinson published her first novel, Housekeeping, in 1980, she was unknown in the literary world. But an early review in The New York Times ensured that the book would be noticed. “It’s as if, in writing it, she broke through the ordinary human condition with all its dissatisfactions, and achieved a kind of transfiguration（美化）,” wrote Anatole Broyard, with an enthusiasm and amazement that was shared by many critics and readers. The book became a classic, and Robinson was recognized as one of the outstanding American writers of our time. Yet it would be more than twenty years before she wrote another novel. 
    During the period, Robinson devoted herself to writing nonfiction. Her essays and book reviews appeared in Harper’s and The New York Times Book Review, and in 1989 she published Mother Country: Britain, the Welfare State, and Nuclear Pollution, criticizing severely the environmental and public health dangers caused by the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant in England—and the political and moral corruption(腐败). In 1998, Robinson published a collection of her critical and theological writings, The Death of Adam: Essays on Modern Thought, which featured reassessments of such figures as Charles Darwin, John Calvin, and Friedrich Nietzsche. Aside from a single short story—“Connie Bronson,” published in The Paris Review in 1986—it wasn’t until 2004 that she returned to fiction with the novel Gilead, which won the National Book Critics Circle Award and the Pulitzer Prize. Her third novel, Home, came out this fall.
    Her novels could be described as celebrations of the human—the characters in them are unforgettable creations. Housekeeping is the story of Ruth and her sister Lucille, who are cared for by their eccentric（古怪的）Aunt Sylvie after their mother commits suicide. Robinson writes a lot about how each of the three is changed by their new life together. Gilead is an even more close exploration of personality: the book centres on John Ames, a seventy-seven-year-old pastor(牧师) who is writing an account of his life and his family history to leave to his young son after he dies. Home borrows characters from Gilead but centers on Ames’s friend Reverend Robert Boughton and his troubled son Jack. Robinson returned to the same territory as Gilead because, she said, “after I write a novel or a story, I miss the characters—I feel like losing some close friends.”
    小题1:Robinson’s second novel came out ____.
    A．in 1980B．in 1986 C．in 1998D．in 2004
    小题2:What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?
    A．Robinson’s achievements in fiction.
    B．Robinson’s achievements in nonfiction.
    C．Robinson’s influence on the literary world.
    D．Robinson’s contributions to the environment.
    小题3:According to Paragraph 3, who is John Ames?
    A．He is Robinson’s close friend.
    B．He is a character in Gilead.
    C．He is a figure in The Death of Adam.
    D．He is a historian writing family stories.
    小题4:From which section of a newspaper can you read this passage?
    A．Career.B．Lifestyle.　C．Music.D．Culture.

    A mouse looked through a crack in the wall to see the farmer and his wife opening a package: What food might it contain? He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap!
    Retreating to the farmyard, the mouse declared the warning, “There is a mouse trap in the house, there is a mouse trap in the house.”
    The chicken clucked and scratched, raised her head and said, “Mr Mouse, I can tell you this is a grave concern to you, but it is of no consequence to me, I cannot be bothered by it.”
    The mouse turned to the pig and told him, “There is a mouse trap in the house.” “I am so sorry, Mr Mouse,” sympathized the pig, “but there is nothing I can do about it but pray; be assured that you are in my prayers.”
    The mouse turned to the cow, who replied, “A mouse trap, am I in grave danger, huh?”
    So the mouse returned to the house, head down and depressed to face the farmer’s mouse trap alone.
    That very night a sound was heard throughout the house, like the sound of a mouse trap catching its prey. The farmer’s wife rushed to see what was caught. In the darkness, she did not see that it was an evil snake whose tail the trap had caught. The snake bit the farmer’s wife. The farmer rushed her to the hospital. She returned home with a fever. Now everyone knew to treat a fever with fresh chicken soup, so the farmer took his hatchet to the farmyard for the soup’s main ingredient. His wife’s sickness continued so that friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clock. To feed them, the farmer butchered the pig. The farmer’s wife did not get well, in fact, she died, and so many people came for her funeral. The farmer had the cow slaughtered to provide meat for all of them to eat.
    So the next time you hear that someone is facing a problem and think that it does not concern you, remember that when the least of us is threatened, we are all at risk.
