My sisters and I have dreamt of a home in the city, but when the Alcott family found itself in a small house at the South End without a tree in sight, only a back yard to play in, and no money to buy any of the beautiful things before us, we children all opposed it and longed for the country again.
Anna soon found little pupils, and walked away each morning to her daily task, pausing at the corner to wave her hand to me in answer to my greet with the duster(抹布). My father went to his office downtown, mother to her helping the poor, the little girls to school, and I, Lousia, was left to keep house, feeling like an aged sea-gull as I washed dishes and cooked in the basement kitchen where the only thing I could hope for was someone talking with me.
Good drill, but very hard, and my only comfort was the evening reunion where all met with such various reports of the day’s adventures, we could not fail to find both amusement and instruction.
Father brought interesting and attractive news from the upper world; mother, usually in low spirits because she would give away her clothes with sad tales of suffering from the darker side of life; gentle Anna gave a modest account of her success as a teacher, for even at seventeen her sweet nature won all who knew her, and her patience gained her the support of the most naughty pupil.
My reports were usually a mixture of sadness and happiness, and the children poured their small joys and troubles into the family where comfort and mercy were always to be found.
【小题1】We know from this passage that the Alcott family was __________.
| A.a happy and united family |
| B.an extremely poor family |
| C.a family with lots of serious problems |
| D.a family that remained in the country |
| A.she had a strong sense of duty | B.she was obviously intelligent |
| C.she knew her subjects well | D.she had wonderful character |
| A.to help the poor | B.to run the house |
| C.to go downtown | D.to feed the seagulls |
| A.the evening reunion | B.moving to the city |

NEW YORK— Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes, or a couple of hours if they head for the woods. Dave Murbach needs 11 months.
Almost every day of every year, Murbach’s thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyone's breath away.
Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
“I'm always looking for a tree,” the center's chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. It' s like a homework assignment hanging over your head.”
And if he gets it wrong, there's nothing hiding it.
“Every day it's up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says.
This year’s tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the world's largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2.
The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York — a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (装饰品).
The search for the next year's tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs.
Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through.
That's not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced.
Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”
Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “It's for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. That's what I hope it sets off.” But Murbach says he's always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.
1. Which is the correct order of the events in the passage?
a. Murbach’s thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree.
b. 2.5 million people watch the Christmas tree.
c. The tree is flown to New York.
d. It was lighted on December 2.

A. a, b, c, d, e, f B. c, d, b, f, e, a
C. c, d, e, b, a, f D. a, f, c, d, b, e
2. Murbach spends a lot of time that are exhibited in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
A. taking care of Christmas trees
B. deciding on the perfect evergreens
C. sorting the letters from people
D. deciding the TV programs
3. Why does Murbach take his job seriously?
A. Because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice.
B. Because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe.
C. Because he enjoys showing off.
D. Because he wishes to attract people's attention to himself.
4. According to Murbach' s standard of trees, the best tree must_______ .
A. be evergreen
B. have lots of space between their branches
C. be tall enough not to see through
D. be equally balanced
5. What kind of person do you think Murbach is?
A. A person always ignoring his family.

C. A person devoted to his work.
D. A person with great anxiety.

I have been a student at Bentley College in Waltham for some time now, so I have a lot of experience and know how things work at Bentley. As a freshman(新生)at Bentley College you will be living in the Tree Dorms, Slade Hall or Miller Hall. I would highly suggest that you choose to live in the Tree Dorms because this is where most fresh-men are going to be living. There will be a lot of activities going on in the building and you will meet lots of people. Slade Hall is next to the parking lot and not far from the Tree Dorms, so that would be your second choice. As Miller Hall is small and far away, it would be my last choice for freshmen housing. If Bentley offers you the chance to live with second or third year students you’d better refuse their offer and live with freshmen. Living with your classmates will make the transition (过渡) into college life a lot easier.
As a freshman your classes should be easy. After freshman year your classes will become a lot more difficult, so I advise that you get down to business early in the first year. There are two very easy things you can do to increase your knowledge as a freshman. The first is to just go to class and the second is to always do your homework. I also highly advise that you do it on your own and try to stay disciplined. It is too easy to put your homework away and then get really behind and not be able to learn everything before a mid-term or final exam.
1.The author advises freshmen to live in the Tree Dorms because ___________.
A. it is across the parking lot from Slade Hall
B. it is small and quite far away from the playground
C. there are many second and third year students there
D. there are many freshmen and more activities
2.Where is Slade Hall?
A. Near Miller Hall. B. Far from Tree Dorms.
C. Beside the car park. D. Near the classrooms.
3.According to the author, how can freshmen improve knowledge?
A. Remember to do homework by discussing it with others.
B. Finish homework and go to class every day.
C. Try to spend more time in the library.
D. Be able to learn something before a mid-term or final exam.
4.The author writes the passage to ___________.
A. tell new students how to get used to college life
B. tell new students about their teachers and dormitory
C. show the differences between college and high school
