The problem is that the people in Jeans family are so busy that they can hardly find time to be with her. In fact, Jean is quite lonely.So Jean spends a lot of time on her QQ. She likes being anonymous, talking to people who do not know about her famous family and her rich life. She uses the name Linda on QQ and has made a lot of friends who she keeps in touch with quite often.Last year Jean made a very special friend on QQ. His name was David and lived in San Francisco. David was full of stories and jokes. He and Jean had a common interest in rock music and modern dance. So it always took them hours to talk happily on QQ and sometimes they even forgot their time. Of course, they wanted to know more about each other. David sent a picture of himself: He was a tall, good-looking young man with a big, happy smile. As time went by, they became good friends and often sent cards and small things to each other.When Jeans father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on Davids door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim! 1.

We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special timelike my wedding and Lindas. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share happiness of my children and then grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman Lindas married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her.She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ”Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each others lives.

After the doctor had examined him carefully, he said to him, “Well, theres nothing really wrong with you, Im glad to say. Your only trouble is that you worry too much. Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago, and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you. He was worried because he couldnt pay his tailors bills. I told him not to worry about the bills any more. He took my advice and when he came to see me again two days ago, he told me that he now feltquite all right again. ” “Yes, I know all about that,” answered the patient sadly. “You see, Im that mans tailor!”根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容判斷正誤，正確的用“T”表示，錯誤的用“F”表示。1. The tailor went to see his doctor because he has got a headache.2. There is nothing serious with the tailor.3. A man with the same trouble as the tailor a few days ago.4. The doctor gave the man and the tailor the same advice.5. The tailor was worried because a man couldnt pay his bills.【答案及解析】1. 選F。根據(jù)第1句A man went to see his doctor one day, because he was suffering from pains in his stomach可知本題是錯誤的。2. 選T。根據(jù)there is no thing really wrong with you (tailor)可知裁縫的身體并沒有什么大礙，故可判斷此題與短文內(nèi)容相符。3. 選F。根據(jù)句子Do you know, I had a man with the same trouble as you here a few weeks ago可知本題所敘述的時間與短文內(nèi)容不一致，因此可判斷此題是錯誤的。4. 選T。根據(jù)and I gave him the same advice as I am going to give you可知答案。5. 選T。通讀全文我們可知：上一個病人是擔心他自己不能付錢給他的裁縫，而這個裁縫的病因卻是因為擔心那個人不能付錢給他的。4Not many years ago, some farmers were worried because hawkswere taking many of their chicken. The farmers didnt know what to do. Finally they went to the countryofficials and asked for help.“Kill the hawks,” the officials said, “We will even pay for them,” so the farmers began to think of ways to kill the hawks.The farmers killed many hawks. They no longer had to worry about their chickens. But they now had a new worry. Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers grain.How did this happen?Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But the farmers didnt know this. When they killed a lot of hawks, they changed the balance.When people move into a new place, they often destroy many wild plants. Often these plants are food for the animals. If the animals cant find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place.In one part of the USA, for example the deer there like to eat a certain kind of wild roses. The mountain lions there eat the deer. The number of deer, mountain lions and wild roses doesnt change much if people leave things as they are.But people killed many mountain lions in order to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then the deer began to eat the green leaves of young trees. These trees were important to the farmers. So the farmers thought of ways to protect their trees. Now the deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died. This was another lesson from nature.To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember.根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容判斷正誤，正確的用“T”表示，錯誤的用“F”表示。1. Finally the officials told the farmers to kill the hawks.2. Field mice eat not only chickens but also the farmers grain.3. When the animals cant find enough plants to eat in a place, they will starve or have to leave.4. The number of animals changes much if people leave things as they are.5. It is important for us to keep the balance of nature.【答案及解析】1. 選T。根據(jù)句子 “Kill the hawks,” the officials said. 可知，此題與短文內(nèi)容相符合，所以可判斷為正確。2. 選F。本題句意為“田鼠不僅吃小雞還吃農(nóng)民的莊稼”，但由句子Field mice were eating up a lot of the farmers grain. 可知，田鼠只吃莊稼，3. 選T。由句子If the animals cant find enough plants to eat, they will starve or have to leave the place. 可知本題正確。4. 選F。由短文內(nèi)容可知，如果人們不破壞生態(tài)平衡，而順其自然，則動物的數(shù)量不會有多大的改變。故本題與原文不一致，所以判斷此題錯誤。5. 選T。從短文的最后一句To keep the balance of nature is important for us to remember. 我們知道：保持生態(tài)平衡對我們來說是非常重要的。5One day the famous American scientist Albert Einstein met an old friend of his on a street in New York.“Mr Einstein,” said the friend, “ it seems that you need to put on a new overcoat.

His parents had tried everythingtutors, cards, special learning centersin short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic school.After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didnt kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started studying. Books and papers were spread out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised.

This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity. She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns?”Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ”“Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?”Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed to the plus sign, I knew they werent joking. ”根據(jù)以上短文內(nèi)容，然后從每題所給的四個選項中選擇最佳選項。1. Why did Tommys parents send him to a catholic school?A. Because he could eat well there.B. Because he could earn more about nuns.C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math.D. Because his parents didnt want him to learn math any more.2.

From the passage, we can infer that _.A. teachers should be strict with their studentsB. mistaking might do good sometimesC. a catholic school is much better than other onesD. nuns are good at helping children with their math【答案及解析】1. 選C。文章第1段說Tommy數(shù)學(xué)學(xué)不好，其父母想盡了一切辦法都不奏效，最后將他送進了一所天主教的教會學(xué)校。2. 選D。認真閱讀第2段前面幾句話，并注意以下信息：After the first day, little Tommy came homedidnt kiss his mother hellowas hard at workwithout a word. 可知答案應(yīng)選D。3. 選A。根據(jù)文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books這個句子的語境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。4. 選B。Tommy學(xué)習一直不用功，但自從進了這所catholic school之后，情況就不一樣了整天都發(fā)狠讀書，結(jié)果數(shù)學(xué)考試也得了A。這是為什么呢?文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (釘) to the plus sign (加號), I knew they werent joking. 由此可知，Tommy是擔心學(xué)習不用功會被釘在十字架上。5. 選B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign誤解為“學(xué)習不用功的結(jié)果”，從而一改自己原來不好學(xué)的不良習慣，很快就把數(shù)學(xué)成績趕了上去。可見，誤解有時也可以起到好的效果。7Have you ever heard of a girl of 15, who set up a company of her own?
