四、阅读理解

I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard (果园), looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe(成熟的).Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie, and how I used to make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie ever since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?” I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees, and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know, Sophie,” he says, “I spent the morning in the attic(阁楼), and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe(烹饪法) for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes.I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try?”
“But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
“That’s true,” he says, “but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes, and we walk towards home...towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie.

A. likes to watch clouds in the attic

Hi，Nancy！Thank you for writing to me. I enjoy getting letters from students in China and I'll be happy to exchange letters with you.
The first thing I want to tell you is that if the boys are calling you names it is their fault, not yours. Boys, at your age, are different from girls. They are trying to prove that they are manly and they often do this by choosing someone who can't really fight back. This is, of course, wrong but it happens and it is generally referred to as bullying. In general, the boys know they are bigger and stronger than you are, so they can make fun of you and make you cry and then laugh about it. If you let them see that they are hurting you, they will only do it more. It isn't that they want to hurt you; they simply want to make themselves feel superior. It's stupid but it is very mon.
The best way of getting the boys to stop calling you names is to simply ignore them, knowing that the names can't hurt you and that the boys are being stupid. If you can laugh at them, they will get tired of trying to make you cry. Then they will give up and begin to notice you as a young woman. I suspect some of them actually like you and are laughing at you just to get your attention. Again, it's stupid but it happens. In reality, you can control this situation by not letting them see you getting hurt. Laugh at them, tell them they are acting like children and they should grow up and then walk away with your head held high.
One more thing, Nancy. It is very important that you stop hurting yourself. If someone else hurts you it is bad enough but you shouldn't make it worse by then hurting yourself. Even sticking a pen into your finger can cause an infection and give you a lot of trouble and besides, it hurts. The next time you are frustrated by a bunch of stupid boys, write to me. You and I can talk about anything you like, about China, about Canada, about travel, anything. Having a conversation with me is better than sticking holes in your fingers, as least I hope it is.
I wish you all the best and I hope to hear from you again soon. If you get a chance, please send me your picture.
Best wishes.
Brad

57. Aording to Brad’s advice, the next time the boys call Nancy names, she should do the following except .
A. to ignore them

On May 23, 1989, Stefania Follini came out from a cave at Carlsbad, New Mexico. She hadn’t seen the sun for eighteen and a half weeks. Stefania was in a research program, and the scientists in the program were studying body rhythms. In this experiment Stefania had spent 130 days in a cave, 30 feet in depth.
During her time in the cave, Stefania had been pletely alone except for two white mice. Her living place had been very fortable, but there had been nothing to tell her the time. She’d had no clocks or watches, no television or radio. There had been no natural light and the temperature had always been kept at 21℃.
The results were very interesting. Stefania had been in the cave for over four months, but she thought she had been there for only two. Her body clock had changed. She hadn’t kept to a 24-hour day. She had stayed awake for 20-25 hours and then had slept for 10 hours. She had eaten fewer meals and had lost 171 bs in weight as a result! She had also bee rather depressed.
How had she spent her time in the cave? As part of the experiment she’d done some physical and mental tests. She’d recorded her daily activities and the results of the tests on a puter. This puter had been specially programmed for the project. Whenever she was free, she’d played cards, read books and listened to music. She’d also learned French from tapes.
The experiment showed that our body clocks are affected by light and temperature. For example, the pattern of day and night makes us wake up and go to sleep. However, people are affected in different ways. Some people wake up naturally at 5:00 am, but others don’t start to wake up till 9:00 or 10:00 am. This affects the whole daily rhythm. As a result, the early risers are at their best in the late morning. The late risers, on the other hand, are tired during the day and only e to life in the afternoon or evening!
59. Stefania stayed in the cave for a long time because _________.
A. she needed to record her life
B. she was part of a research program.
C. she wanted to experience loneliness
D. she was asked to do research on mice
60. What is the cause for the change of Stefania’s body clock?
A. Eating fewer meals. B. Having more hours of sleep.
C. Getting no natural light. D. Lacking physical exercise.
61. The text is most probably taken from .
A. A news story. B. A novel.
C. A pet magazine. D. A travel guide.
D
In the animal kingdom, weakness can bring about aggression in other animals. This sometimes happens with humans also. But I have found that my weakness brings out the kindness in people. I see it every day when people hold doors for me, pour cream into my coffee, or help me to put on my coat. And I have discovered that it makes them happy.
From my wheelchair experience, I see the best in people, but sometimes I was sad because those who appear independent miss the kindness I see daily.
They don’t get to see this soft side of others. Often, we try every way possible to avoid showing our weakness, which includes a lot of pretending. But only when we stop pretending we’re brave or strong do we allow people to show the kindness that’s in them.
Last month, when I was driving home on a busy highway, I began to feel unwell and drove more slowly than usual. People behind me began to get impatient and angry, with some speeding up alongside me, horning(按喇叭)or even shouting at me. At that moment, I decided to do something I had never done in twenty-four years of driving. I put on the flashlights and drove on at a really low speed.
No more angry shouts and no more horns!
When I put on my flashlights, I was saying to the other drivers, “I have a problem here, I am weak and doing the best I can,” And everyone understood. Several times, I saw drivers who wanted to pass. They couldn’t get around me because of the stream of passing traffic. But instead of getting impatient and angry, they waited, knowing the driver in front of them was in some way weak.
Sometimes weakness calls for us to act strong and brave even when we don’t feel that way. But in fact, it would be better if we don’t pretend to feel strong when we feel weak or pretend that we are brave when we’re scared.

A. they feel others’ kindness

A. They speed up to pass.
B. They put on their flashlights too
C. They tried their best to help.
D. They waited with patience..
64. In this passage, the author advises us to ______.
A. admit our weakness
B. aept help from others
C. handle problems by ourselves
D. show our bravery
65. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?
A. A Wheelchair Experience.
B. Weakness and Strength
C. Weakness and Kindness.
D. A Driving Experience

Life is like a journey where exist a lot of challenges. But whenever faced with a difficulty, never shall we give up struggling.
I once spared no effort to study English, but my hard work didn’t pay off. The results disappointed me, which nearly drove me depressed. “What if I give up?” I asked myself. “Never!” So clear was the answer from my deep heart that I made up my mind to face the difficulty with firm determination. Things turned to be right when I came to realize I must find out where the problems lay. Therefore , some efficient measures were taken and it wasn’t long before I tasted the sweet of suess.
From my experience of learning language, I have realized that it is determination that counts a lot in helping us deal with difficulties.
