Atlanta was a Greek princess. She was very beautiful and could run faster than    31           man in Greece. But she was not allowed to run in the Olympic Games. She was    32           angry that she said to her father she would not marry anyone who could not run faster than her. Her father said she must marry and asked her   33          she wanted to marry a king or prince. But Atlanta replied, “I will only be married to a man who can run faster than me. When a man says he wants to marry me, I will run  34           him. If he cannot run as fast as me, he         35          (kill). No one will be pardoned.”

Many kings and princes wanted to marry Atlanta but when they heard of her rules, some of them    36        (sad) went home. Other men stayed to run the race. There was a man called Hippomenes who was amazed when he heard of Atlanta’s rules. “Why are these men so   37         (fool)? Why will they let    38        be killed because they cannot run as fast as this princess?” Then when he saw Atlanta come out of her house   39         (run), Hippomenes changed his mind. “I         40           marry Atlanta — or die!” he said.

第一节    阅渎理解（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

It all began with a stop at a red light.

Philanthropy Kevin Salwen, a writer and entrepreneur in Atlanta, was driving his 14-year-old daughter, Hannah, back from a sleepover in 2006. While waiting at a traffic light, they saw a black Mercedes coupe on one side and a homeless man begging for food on the other.

“Dad, if that man had a less nice car, that man there could have a meal,” Hannah protested. The light changed and they drove on, but Hannah was too young to be reasonable. She pestered (纠缠) her parents about inequity, insisting that she wanted to do something.

“What do you want to do?” her mom responded. “Sell our house?”

Warning! Never suggest a grand gesture to an idealistic teenager. Hannah seized upon the idea of selling the luxurious family home and donating half the money to charity, while using the other half to buy a more modest replacement home.

Eventually, that’s what the family did. The project — crazy, impetuous (鲁莽) and utterly inspiring — is written down in detail in a book by father and daughter scheduled to be published next month: “The Power of Half.” It’s a book that, frankly, I’d be nervous about leaving around where my own teenage kids might find it. An impressionable child reads this, and the next thing you know your whole family is out on the street.

At a time of enormous needs in Haiti and elsewhere, when so many Americans are trying to help Haitians by sending everything from text messages to shoes, the Salwens offer an example of a family that came together to make a difference — for themselves as much as the people they were trying to help. In a column a week ago, I described neurological（神经学的） evidence from brain scans that unselfishness lights up parts of the brain normally associated with more primary satisfaction such as food and sex. The Salwens’ experience confirms the selfish pleasures of selflessness.

Mr. Salwen and his wife, Joan, had always assumed that their kids would be better off in a bigger house. But after they downsized, there was much less space to retreat to, so the family members spent more time around each other. A smaller house unexpectedly turned out to be a more family-friendly house.

C. When an unreasonable child reads this, the whole family will enjoy themselves in the street.

D. The child who likes to express himself will ask the whole family to enjoy the book outside.

44.Which of the following statements is true?

A. Mercedes coupe is only an ordinary car which is quite cheap.

B. Hannah asked her parents to do something charitable and they sold their house.

C. Unselfishness has nothing to do with people’s primary satisfaction.
