     阅读理解
         A soldier named John Blanchard struck up(建立)a pen pal friendship with a woman, Sally Maynell,
    who he had never met in the months before World War II. When the fighting began, their correspondence still continued.
         Over the next year or so the two got to know each other through their letters. Even so, when Blanchard asked for a photograph, the woman refused. She felt that if he really cared, it wouldn't matter what she
    looked like.
         When the day finally came for him to return from Europe, they scheduled their first meeting - 7:00 pm at Grand Central Station in New York. "You'll recognise me," she wrote, "by the red rose I'll be wearing on my suit."
         At the station a beautiful young woman approached him. She was wearing a green suit and was
    everything that he hoped Miss Maynell would be. But there was no red rose. There was another woman.
    She was well past 40 and had her hair tucked(塞)under a worn hat. She was more than plump, her fat feet thrust(挤)into shoes. Her pale face was gentle and her gray eyes had a warm twinkle(闪光). On her coat,
    there was a red rose.
         He did not hesitate. His fingers gripped the small worn copy of the book that was to identify him to her. "This will not be love, but it will be something precious, something perhaps even better than love, a feeling
    for which I have been and must ever be grateful." he thought.
         " I'm John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell. I am so glad you could meet me. May I take you to dinner?" he asked.
         The woman's face broadened into a smile. "I don't know what this is about, son." she answered, "But
    the young lady in the green suit who just went by begged me to wear this rose on my coat. And she said if you were to ask me out to dinner, I should go and tell you that she is waiting for you in the big restaurant across the street. She said it was a kind of test!"
    1. According to the first three paragraphs, which of the following statements is TRUE?
    A. Miss Maynell didn't think herself beautiful enough.
    B. Miss Maynell didn't turn up at the meeting place.
    C. Mr. Blanchard lost contact with the woman during the war.
    D. Mr. Blanchard and the woman kept in touch by writing to each other.

    2. When Mr. Blanchard saw the middle-aged woman, he probably felt a little __________.

    A. disappointed
    B. excited
    C. indifferent
    D. expectant
    3. The "feeling" of Mr. Blanchard in the underlined sentence perhaps can be referred to as a kind of
    __________.

    A. friendship
    B. love
    C. brotherhood
    D. memory

    4. Miss Maynell set up such a test because she __________.
    A. was too shy to see Mr. Blanchard directly
    B. wondered whether Mr. Blanchard would keep his word to meet her
    C. wanted to play a trick on Mr. Blanchard
    D. wanted to know Mr. Blanchard cared more about her looks or her personality
    5. Which of the following words can be used to describe the Maynell?
    A. Beautiful but shy
    B. Beautiful and wise
    C. Young but sly(狡猾)
    D. Young and amusing

    阅读理解
         Where there is a river, there is a city.  Perhaps this is not always true, but it is true that many of the
    world's greatest cities have been built on the banks of a river. The Neva River flows through the center
    of St Petersburg in Russia. Three hundred years ago, the Russian Czar Peter the Great
    came here and built a new capital-St Petersburg.  Peter the Great, like his country, was strong and proud.  Many great palaces were built during his lifetime. The palaces were large and beautiful,  and they often
    looked like something out of a fairy tale, St Petersburg has also been the center of many important events
    in history. In 1941, the Germans tried to destroy the city.  It was under attack for 900 days, but the
    people of the city never gave in. The Germans burned many of the palaces as they left.  St Petersburg
    was almost in ruins: fires burned everywhere. Buildings were destroyed, and paintings and stadium lay in
    pieces on the ground. Rebuilding the city and its cultural relics seemed impossible, but the people of the
    great city would not give up, "We will not let our history and city be destroyed, and we will do everything we can to save our city ! "
         When the Nazi had gone, the people of St Petersburg began rebuilding the city. Pieces of the palaces
    that had been hidden before the Nazis came could now be used to rebuild the city and its culture.  It was
    not easy.  Painters and workers had to be very careful when they were trying to bring the city back to
    life. It was difficult to save the palaces and building without detracting their old beauty.
         With the help of old paintings and photographs, the people of St Petersburg were able to bring back
    the beauty of their culture and history.  Now, after years of hard work, parts of statues have been put
    back together and missing pieces have been replaced. Old paintings, including a portrait of Peter the
    Great which was found in the snow outside St Petersburg, have been carefully copied, and the old
    palaces have been made as wonderful as in the past.
         Today Peter the Great on his bronze horse can once again look out over the city he built.  Like their
    hero Peter, the people of St Petersburg have shown that dreams can come true. Strong, proud and
    united, the people of St Petersburg are modern heroes of Russia.

    1. The underlined word "portrait" in the third paragraph is perhaps closest to____in meaning.

    A. room
    B. picture
    C. knife
    D. dress

    2. Which of the following sentences is not true of St Peterburg according to the passage?

    A. It was the capital of Russia,  and it was built about three hundred years ago.
    B. It people never gave in to the Germans during World War Ⅱ.
    C. The Germans tried to destroy the city because they hated Peter the Great.
    D. It took years of hard work of the painters and workers to rebuild it.

    3. The third paragraph of the passage is mainly about____.

    A. how bravely the people of the city fought against the Germans.
    B. how beautiful the city looked now.
    C. how hard the people of the city worked to rebuild the city.
    D. how proud the people of the city were.

    4. The best title of the passage should be___

    A. A City of Heroes
    B. St Petersburg
