A
Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel — a historical romance called Antonina — was published when he was 26. Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens, and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men's writing. Collins went on publishing 25 novels as well as many short stories, plays and works of non-fiction. However, he is most well-known for the two mysteries(悬疑故事) The Woman in White and The Moonstone.
Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round. When it appeared in the magazine in 1860, The Woman in White was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play. It even influenced fashion, and many women started to dress in white. Eight years later The Moonstone was published and earned Collins the title "the father of the modern English detective(侦探) novel". T.S. Elliot, another famous writer, said that The Moonstone was the "first and greatest of English detective novels", and it is still admired by modern crime writers today.
An author of many mysteries, Dorothy L. Sayers considered The Moonstone to be "probably the finest detective story ever written", and many people agree with her. There are several reasons why they think so. One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story. The characters have very different personalities and voices, which are interesting and often amusing. There are also several features of the plot which start trends(趋向) in mystery writing. For example, many detective stories are set in a country house, where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house. A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed(被诅咒的) jewel stolen from a religious statue. And of course, in The Moonstone and most other good mystery novels, the person who at first seems the least likely to be the criminal turns out to be guilty.
1.When was Antonina published
A.In 1824. B.In 1850. C.In 1860. D.In 1868.
2.All the Year Round was a tide of ________.
A.a magazine B.a story of a magazine
C.one of Wilkie Collins' books D.one of Charles Dickens' books
3.Why is Collins known as "the father of the modern English detective novel"
A.Because his son was also a famous detective story writer.
B.Because he was older than the other detective story writers.
C.Because The Moonstone is the most popular detective story.
D.Because many aspects of his writing are copied by other detective story writers.

It was about 10:15 p. m. when Janice Esposito drove her minivan from Station Road onto Montauk Highway. And then—wham! Out of nowhere a car hit her minivan pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in it, slightly injured but mostly panicked by the impact.
Meanwhile, Pete DiPinto, 64, a volunteer firefighter, was getting ready for bed when he heard the sound of car crashing coming from not far outside his bedroom. He grabbed a flashlight and, still in his pajamas(睡衣), ran out of the door. "Any firefighter would have done what I did," he told MyNBC5. "We're always on duty."
The first car he came upon was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposito's minivan on the railroad tracks. And then he heard the bells signaling an oncoming train.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito's minivan and knocked hard on the driver's side window. "Honey, you're on the railroad tracks," DiPinto shouted. "We have to get you off right now!" But Esposito just looked at him, her eyes unfocused. "I don't know where I am," she said. He pulled the handle hard, but the door was damaged and jammed shut. The train, travelling at 65 miles per hour, was heading towards them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. He grabbed Esposito's arms, helped her out and speed-walked her to safety a few feet away. Within about six seconds, the train bumped into the minivan.
"It was like a Hollywood movie," he told reporters the next day. But this one had a twist. "Last night, the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck," people said.
1. What do we know when the car accident happened
A. DiPinto heard the call for help.
B. DiPinto was on duty at that time.
C. Esposito didn't know where she was.
D. Esposito was more shocked than injured.
2. From the passage above, what do we know about DiPinto
A. He is a man of high sense of responsibility.
B. He is warm-hearted but careless in dressing.
C. He is a man full of energy and imagination.
D. He is kind but impatient with other people.
3. What is Paragraph 4 mainly about
A. How DiPinto managed to save Esposito.
B. How Esposito reacted to DiPinto's behaviour.
C. How the train bumped into Esposito's minivan.
D. How seriously Esposito's minivan was damaged.
4. What can we infer from the passage

Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There's a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic1975 ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortázar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
1.Why does the author like rereading
A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship. B.It's a window to a whole new world.
C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend. D.It extends the understanding of oneself.
2.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A.It's a brief account of a trip. B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man.
C.It's a record of a historic event. D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris.
3.What does the underlined word "currency" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Debt. B.Reward. C.Allowance. D.Face value.
4.What can we infer about the author from the text
A.He loves poetry. B.He's an editor.
C.He's very ambitious. D.He teaches reading.
D
In order to achieve in math, science, English, history, geography, and other subjects, reading skills must be developed when the students are young. Students cannot struggle with word recognition(识别) when they should be reading quickly for understanding of a text.
Since reading is very important to success in school, parents can and should play a role in helping their children become interested in reading and in encouraging their growth in reading skills.
Research shows that children learn about reading before they enter school. In fact, they learn in the best way—through observation. Young children, for example, see people around them reading newspapers, books, maps, and signs.
Parents can do a lot to cultivate an understanding of print by talking with their preschoolers about signs in their environment and by letting their children know they enjoy reading themselves. When reading to your preschooler, you should run your index finger under the line of print. This process is simple and helps children begin to notice words and that words have meaning. They also develop habits of reading.
In the early elementary years, from first through third grades, children continue learning how to read. It is a complex process(过程), difficult for some and easy for others. Care must be taken during these early years not to put too much stress on the learning-to-read process.
Reading for pleasure and information develops reading interests and offers children the chance to practise their reading skills in meaningful ways. Parents of preschoolers should provide reading materials in the home that arouse curiosity or extend their children's natural interest in the world around them.
By encouraging reading in free time, parents take the most important step in improving their children's reading development.
1.What should parents do to help their children build up their reading ability
A.They should provide financial support for their children.
B.They should encourage their children to read every day.
C.They should take great interest in reading by themselves.
D.They should teach their children to read as quickly as possible.
2.What does the underlined word "cultivate" mean in Paragraph 4
A.Prevent. B.Develop. C.Discuss. D.Practise.
3.What should a parent avoid doing when teaching his child
A.Find proper reading materials. B.Help develop his child's interests.
C.Stress the learning-to-read process more. D.Encourage his child to read more at home.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.Parents should care for their children's studies.
B.It is important to develop children's reading ability.
C.It is common for students to ignore their reading habit.
D.Schools should pay more attention to children's reading.

Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart, I was sad because I couldn't stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.
When Christmas morning came, I woke up with a small hand rubbing my face. "Dad. Merry Christmas!" was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys' faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left to them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection(检查) had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and, together with my wife, I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.

I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily. I was wondering whether I could get a gift when my younger son ran to me, who was really kind enough to save my face.

I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I thought she was showing off her efforts on the decoration, but she took off a small box and passed it to me smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a letter which read "We will never forget you. Merry Christmas!" Under the letter was a watch which was delicate. I was moved to tears.

Wilkie Collins was born in London in 1824 and his first novel — a historical romance called Antonina — was published when he was 26. Shortly after this he met Charles Dickens, and they formed a close friendship that lasted for ten years and influenced both men's writing. Collins went on publishing 25 novels as well as many short stories, plays and works of non-fiction. However, he is most well-known for the two mysteries(悬疑故事) The Woman in White and The Moonstone.
Collins published both mysteries as serials in All the Year Round. When it appeared in the magazine in 1860, The Woman in White was so popular that it became the subject of a song and a play. It even influenced fashion, and many women started to dress in white. Eight years later The Moonstone was published and earned Collins the title "the father of the modern English detective(侦探) novel". T.S. Elliot, another famous writer, said that The Moonstone was the "first and greatest of English detective novels", and it is still admired by modern crime writers today.
An author of many mysteries, Dorothy L. Sayers considered The Moonstone to be "probably the finest detective story ever written", and many people agree with her. There are several reasons why they think so. One is that Collins uses different characters to tell each section of the story. The characters have very different personalities and voices, which are interesting and often amusing. There are also several features of the plot which start trends(趋向) in mystery writing. For example, many detective stories are set in a country house, where the theft must have been committed by one of the people in the house. A number of modern films have also used the idea of a cursed(被诅咒的) jewel stolen from a religious statue. And of course, in The Moonstone and most other good mystery novels, the person who at first seems the least likely to be the criminal turns out to be guilty.

It was about 10:15 p. m. when Janice Esposito drove her minivan from Station Road onto Montauk Highway. And then—wham! Out of nowhere a car hit her minivan pushing her backward some 100 feet onto the railroad tracks. She sat in it, slightly injured but mostly panicked by the impact.
Meanwhile, Pete DiPinto, 64, a volunteer firefighter, was getting ready for bed when he heard the sound of car crashing coming from not far outside his bedroom. He grabbed a flashlight and, still in his pajamas(睡衣), ran out of the door. "Any firefighter would have done what I did," he told MyNBC5. "We're always on duty."
The first car he came upon was the one that had hit Esposito. Once DiPinto concluded the driver was OK, he looked around and spotted Esposito's minivan on the railroad tracks. And then he heard the bells signaling an oncoming train.
DiPinto rushed to Esposito's minivan and knocked hard on the driver's side window. "Honey, you're on the railroad tracks," DiPinto shouted. "We have to get you off right now!" But Esposito just looked at him, her eyes unfocused. "I don't know where I am," she said. He pulled the handle hard, but the door was damaged and jammed shut. The train, travelling at 65 miles per hour, was heading towards them. DiPinto ran to the passenger side and threw open the door. He grabbed Esposito's arms, helped her out and speed-walked her to safety a few feet away. Within about six seconds, the train bumped into the minivan.
"It was like a Hollywood movie," he told reporters the next day. But this one had a twist. "Last night, the hero arrived in pajamas, not in a fire truck," people said.

Returning to a book you've read many times can feel like drinks with an old friend. There's a welcome familiarity—but also sometimes a slight suspicion that time has changed you both, and thus the relationship. But books don't change, people do. And that's what makes the act of rereading so rich and transformative.
The beauty of rereading lies in the idea that our bond with the work is based on our present mental register. It's true, the older I get, the more I feel time has wings. But with reading, it's all about the present. It's about the now and what one contributes to the now, because reading is a give and take between author and reader. Each has to pull their own weight.
There are three books I reread annually. The first, which I take to reading every spring, is Ernest Hemingway's A Moveable Feast. Published in 1964, it's his classic memoir of 1920s Paris. The language is almost intoxicating(令人陶醉的), an aging writer looking back on an ambitious yet simpler time. Another is Annie Dillard's Holy the Firm, her poetic1975 ramble(随笔) about everything and nothing. The third book is Julio Cortázar's Save Twilight: Selected Poems, because poetry. And because Cortázar.
While I tend to buy a lot of books, these three were given to me as gifts, which might add to the meaning I attach to them. But I imagine that, while money is indeed wonderful and necessary, rereading an author's work is the highest currency a reader can pay them. The best books are the ones that open further as time passes. But remember, it's you that has to grow and read and reread in order to better understand your friends.
1.Why does the author like rereading
A.It evaluates the writer-reader relationship. B.It's a window to a whole new world.
C.It's a substitute for drinking with a friend. D.It extends the understanding of oneself.
2.What do we know about the book A Moveable Feast
A.It's a brief account of a trip. B.It's about Hemingway's life as a young man.
C.It's a record of a historic event. D.It's about Hemingway's friends in Paris.
3.What does the underlined word "currency" in Paragraph 4 refer to
A.Debt. B.Reward. C.Allowance. D.Face value.
4.What can we infer about the author from the text
A.He loves poetry. B.He's an editor.
C.He's very ambitious. D.He teaches reading.
D
In order to achieve in math, science, English, history, geography, and other subjects, reading skills must be developed when the students are young. Students cannot struggle with word recognition(识别) when they should be reading quickly for understanding of a text.
Since reading is very important to success in school, parents can and should play a role in helping their children become interested in reading and in encouraging their growth in reading skills.
Research shows that children learn about reading before they enter school. In fact, they learn in the best way—through observation. Young children, for example, see people around them reading newspapers, books, maps, and signs.
Parents can do a lot to cultivate an understanding of print by talking with their preschoolers about signs in their environment and by letting their children know they enjoy reading themselves. When reading to your preschooler, you should run your index finger under the line of print. This process is simple and helps children begin to notice words and that words have meaning. They also develop habits of reading.
In the early elementary years, from first through third grades, children continue learning how to read. It is a complex process(过程), difficult for some and easy for others. Care must be taken during these early years not to put too much stress on the learning-to-read process.
Reading for pleasure and information develops reading interests and offers children the chance to practise their reading skills in meaningful ways. Parents of preschoolers should provide reading materials in the home that arouse curiosity or extend their children's natural interest in the world around them.
By encouraging reading in free time, parents take the most important step in improving their children's reading development.
1.What should parents do to help their children build up their reading ability
A.They should provide financial support for their children.
B.They should encourage their children to read every day.
C.They should take great interest in reading by themselves.
D.They should teach their children to read as quickly as possible.
2.What does the underlined word "cultivate" mean in Paragraph 4
A.Prevent. B.Develop. C.Discuss. D.Practise.
3.What should a parent avoid doing when teaching his child
A.Find proper reading materials. B.Help develop his child's interests.
C.Stress the learning-to-read process more. D.Encourage his child to read more at home.
4.What does the passage mainly talk about
A.Parents should care for their children's studies.
B.It is important to develop children's reading ability.
C.It is common for students to ignore their reading habit.
D.Schools should pay more attention to children's reading.

Several years ago, I was living in New York and working for an airline, so I never got back home for Christmas. My Christmas was happy too with some other colleagues around. But in my heart, I was sad because I couldn't stay with my family. Sometimes my colleagues would say our Christmas was filled with tears. But this Christmas was different. I was lucky. I had the whole day off, which meant I could stay with my family on Christmas Eve.
When Christmas morning came, I woke up with a small hand rubbing my face. "Dad. Merry Christmas!" was all my younger son had time to say. He seemed to be racing against time. I knew he was hunting for gifts with his brother eagerly. I got downstairs just to see the two little boys' faces as they looked at the pocket rockets Santa Claus had left to them. I realized that the real Christmas was for the children who had deep belief in the amazing power of Santa Claus. At first, their fingers went almost shyly over their toys. When their inspection(检查) had been completed, the two boys ensured that the gifts were really delivered by Santa Claus and they dragged everything into the center of the living room.
Delight flooded the room. As their mother began giving out gifts, I smiled to myself, wondering how my unexpected gifts this year would be received. With so many Christmas spent outside, I had prepared so many gifts for my children and, together with my wife, I hid them in several secret places. But the children were excellent detectives and they found all of them. They were happily opening packages constantly thanking considerate Santa Claus for his kindness and ability to know their desires. But I had not received a single one. I knew they had forgotten my existence with my absence from their Christmas these years.

第二节
答案：
Paragraph 1:
I had to admit that my disappointment was growing steadily. I was wondering whether I could get a gift when my younger son ran to me, who was really kind enough to save my face. He asked me to admire his gift which he deeply believed was carefully chosen by Santa Claus. He said happily that he would share some of his gifts and allow me to choose one from them. I thanked him from the bottom of my heart, still feeling disappointed.
Paragraph 2:
Suddenly my wife walked up to me. It seemed that she had guessed how I felt. She asked me to look at the Christmas tree which was decorated with so many boxes. I thought she was showing off her efforts on the decoration, but she took off a small box and passed it to me smiling and saying it was for me. I opened it and saw a letter which read "We will never forget you. Merry Christmas!" Under the letter was a watch which was delicate. I was moved to tears.
