【題目】閱讀短文,完成下列問題。
D
My grandson, Daniel, and I have always been very close. When Daniel's father remarried after a divorce, Daniel, who was eleven, and his little sister, Kristie, came to live with us. My husband and I were more than happy to have kids in the house again.
Things were going along just fine until the diabetes (糖尿病) I've lived with most of my adult life started affecting my eyes, and then more seriously, my kidneys (腎). Then everything seemed to fall apart.
Three times a week, I had to go to the hospital to be hooked up to a dialysis machine (透析機(jī)). I was living, but I couldn't really call it a life --- it was an existence. I had no energy. I dragged myself through daily chores and slept as much as I could. My sense of humor seemed to disappear.
Daniel, seventeen by then, was really affected by the change in me. He tried as hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around (開玩笑) with him. Even in my sorry state, Daniel could still bring a smile to my face.
But things were not improving. After a year on dialysis, my condition was deteriorating (惡化) and the doctors felt that if I didn't receive a kidney transplant within six months, I would surely die. No one told Daniel this, but he knew --- he said all he had to do was look after me. To top it off, as my condition worsened, there was a chance that I would become too weak to have the transplant surgery at all, and then there would be nothing they could do for me. So we started the tense and desperate wait for a kidney.
I was adamant (堅(jiān)決的) that I didn't want a kidney from anyone I knew. I would wait until an appropriate kidney became available, or I would literally die waiting. But Daniel had other plans. The time that he took me to my dialysis appointments, he did a little secret research on his own. Then he announced his intention to me.
“Grandma, I’m giving you one of my kidneys. I'm young and I'm healthy …” He paused. He could see I wasn't at all happy with his offer. He continued, almost in whisper, “And most of all, I couldn't stand it if you weren't around.” His face wore an expression of appeal mixed with determination. He can be as stubborn as a mule (驢) once he decides on something -- but I've been told many times that I can out-stubborn any mule!
We argued. I couldn't let him do it. We both knew that if he gave up his kidney, he would also give up his life's dream; to play football. It was all he ever talked about. And he was good, too. Daniel was co-captain and star defensive tackle (防守阻截隊(duì)員) of his high school team; he expected to apply for a football scholarship and was looking forward to playing college football. He just loved the sport.
“How can I let you throw away the thing that means the most to you?” I pleaded with him.
“Grandma,” he said softly, “compared to your life, football means nothing to me.”
After that, I couldn't argue anymore. So we agreed to see if he was a good donor (捐贈(zèng)者) match, and then we’d discuss it further. When the tests came back, they showed Daniel was a perfect match. That was it. I knew I wasn't going to win that argument, so we scheduled the transplant.
Both surgeries went smoothly. As soon as I came out of the anesthesia (麻醉) , I could tell things were different. I felt great! The nurses in the intensive care unit had to keep telling me to lie back and be quiet --- I wasn't supposed to be that lively! I was afraid to go to sleep, for fear I would break the spell (魔法) and wake up the way I had been before. But the good feeling didn't go away, and I spent the evening joking and laughing with anyone who would listen. It was so wonderful to feel alive again.
The next day they moved me out of ICU and onto the floor where Daniel was recuperating (復(fù)原) three doors away. His grandfather helped him walk down to see me as soon as I was moved into my room. When we saw each other, we did not know what to say. Holding hands, we just sat there and looked at each other for a long time, overwhelmed by the deep feeling of love that connected us.
Finally, he spoke, “Was it worthwhile, grandma?”
I laughed a little ruefully (懊悔). “It was for me! But was it for you?” I asked him.
He nodded and smiled at me. “I've got my grandma back.”
And I have my life back. It still amazes me. Every morning, when I wake up, I thank God -- and Daniel -- for this miracle. A miracle born of the purest love.

【答案】
(1)C
(2)A
(3)B
(4)D
(5)B
(6)C
【解析】本文主要介紹了世界上的浪漫之都。
(1)C細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第二三段可知,奶奶的糖尿病影響到了眼睛,需要回一樣做透析,不幽默了,生活一片混亂。所以選C,只有孩子和他們?cè)谝黄饹]變。
(2)A細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第四段第二句He tried as hard as he could to make me laugh, to bring back the grandma who loved to clown around (開玩笑) with him.可知,Daniel盡力讓奶奶笑,想把那個(gè)大家都喜歡的奶奶找回來。因此A項(xiàng)正確。
(3)B細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第七段第二句He could see I wasn’t at all happy with his offer.可知,奶奶在得知Daniel要把自己的腎臟移植給她一個(gè)時(shí),并不高興。因此選B。
(4)D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第八段第二句We both knew that if he gave up his kidney, he would also give up his life’s dream: to play football. 可知我倆都知道,如果他捐出了他的腎,也就意味著放棄了他踢足球的夢(mèng)想,可知D選項(xiàng)正確。
(5)B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章第九段第二、三句 I felt great! The nurses in the intensive care unit had to keep telling me to lie back and be quiet可知,做完手術(shù),我感覺很好,精心護(hù)理的護(hù)士們不得不一直告訴我,讓我躺下,安靜下來。由此看見,做完手術(shù),作者感覺很好,充滿了生機(jī)。
(6)C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)文章倒數(shù)第二段,He nodded and smiled at me. “I've got my grandma back.”可知,Daniel認(rèn)為他做這次手術(shù)也是值得的,他使自己的奶奶又活了過來。因此只有C項(xiàng)是與文章內(nèi)容不符的。

【題目】Under new rules posted by the Civil Aviation (航空) administration of China on Friday, pilots will have to pass a “l(fā)evel four” test of Mandarin Chinese, China’s official language. Those who speak with an accent that “often impedes” comprehension will not pass. These rules take effect in January 2016.

China’s 56 ethnic groups speak more than 80 languages and dialects. Even native Mandarin speakers can have trouble communicating with each other depending on the strength of their accents, which can be mutually unintelligible (難理解的).

One flight trainer illustrated the scope for linguistic confusion, especially when common English aviation terms are used. Asked if there is a problem on board, a Chinese pilot might answer in the negative with the words mei you, or “there isn’t.” But someone speaking with a heavy Sichuan accent would pronounce mei you as “May day” unconsciously parroting the universally recognized distress call (遇難信號(hào)).

Like their international counterparts (對(duì)應(yīng)物), Chinese aviators have developed codes to avoid confusion resulting from homonyms (同音異義字) or near-homonyms. They use the terms yao for one and guai for seven, which are otherwise pronounced yi and qi respectively and easily confused.

The new rule could affect all pilots, who must renew their license every six years, and adds to a growing list of burdens for the profession.

1What does the underlined word “impedes” in Para 1 mean?

A. improves B. helps

C. misleads D. limits

2Which of the following is true according to the passage?

A. Sichuan dialect has the contrary meaning to Mandarin.

B. Native Mandarin speakers can understand each other well.

C. It isn’t necessary for a pilot to pass the test before January 2016.

D. “May day” is a distress call in our everyday life.

3What is the purpose of the Chinese aviators using the terms yao for one and guai for seven?

A. To avoid misunderstanding.

B. To communicate with their international counterparts.

C. To pass the test.

D. To avoid their accents.

4What is the best title for the passage?

A. Chinese Pilots Told to Get Rid of Regional Accents

B. Chinese Pilots

C. Rich Chinese Languages

D. Hard to Be a Chinese Pilot

【題目】It seems the more time we have, the longer we put off living the life we see in our heads, because we feel like we’ve got some time to kill.

I know where you think I’m going with this, and I also know you’ve heard it all before: seize the day, make the most of it, live life to its fullest, and so on. But that’s the problem. You’ve heard it all before. These ideas have their impact and have become a cliché. Luckily, that’s not my thing.

The real answers wake something up inside you. They make you think. That’s what I want to give you today, the story of Bobby Darin, which wakes you up to the truth.

If you haven’t heard of the man, I know you’ve heard his songs. Among his many hits are Mack the Knife, Beyond the Sea, Dream Lover, and Splish Splash.

If seven years, Darin had several top ten hit songs, was nominated(提名) for four Grammy Awards (winning two), nominated for four Golden Globes (winning one), and even nominated for an Oscar.

So what was his secret?

All his life, Darin had a heart condition that developed from a childhood illness. The doctors at the time said he would be lucky to live to 16. In other words, his time was limited. And this was secret. He knew the truth. He knew that we all have such a hard time accepting: Life is short. You can’t just say it; you can’t just hear it. You have to know it, believe it, and feel it. Because Darin knew his time was limited, he packed as much life as he could into the time he had. But he had an unfair advantage. He knew, without a doubt, his time was limited.

There was no fooling himself, no putting it off. It was now or never.

1Why do we all have the habit of delaying doing things?

A. Because we think we have time to count our thumb.

B. Because we want to live our life to its fullest.

C. Because we think time and tide wait for no man.

D. Because it takes time to build castle.

2The underlined word “cliché” in the second paragraph probably means .

A. motto

B. legend

C. often-made remark

D. long-lost verse

3What can we know about Bobby Darin from the passage?

A. He was nominated and won the Oscar Reward.

B. He committed suicide at home at last.

C. He got involved I not only music field but directing.

D. He took a positive attitude towards his illness.

4What is the secret to Bobby Darin’s success?

A. He knew his life expectancy was short.

B. He was too eager to become famous.

C. He was so devoted to music.

D. He was talented.

As a student, I can tell you that there is nothing better than praised by my teacher before my classmates. Never will I forget one experience in an English class last year.

I felt extreme nervous the instant the class began. Mr. Zhang might announce the exam result and I would probably get scolding as before. Surprisingly, when entering the classroom, he glanced at us, saying gently, “Today, I won’t talk about the exam, but I am excited to tell you what Li Jia wrote an excellent English article in the exam.” At hearing what he said, I was so excited that I couldn’t hold back my tear. It was the first time that I have got praised. From then on, I fell in love with the English. I’m grateful to Mr. Zhang. Without her praise, I couldn’t have gone such far in my English study.
