四、阅读理解（共10小题；每小题2分，满分20分）
(A)
On a June afternoon in 1752, the sky began to get dark over the city. As the storm broke, most people surely hurried inside, but not Benjamin Franklin. He decided it was the perfect time to fly a kite. Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this. Franklin had been waiting for a chance like this. He wanted to show the connection between lightning（闪电）and electricity, and to do so, he needed a storm.
He walked in to a field, and flew a kite with a piece of rope tied to it. A key was tied to the rope. The lightning hit the kite, and electricity passed through the rope to the key. Franklin then touched the key with his finger and got an electric shock（电击）. This, he said, proved（证明）the electrical nature of lightning.
For many years, schools have taught the story of Franklin’s experiment. Millions of schoolchildren have been amazed by his courage and his scientific spirit of looking for the truth. However, new research suggests that the story may be fiction instead of fact. Although Franklin’s experiment took place, more than one scientist has questioned what really happened. It’s true that he did the experiment with the rope and the key. But scientists all agree that if Franklin had actually touched the key, he would certainly have died from the electric shock.
Scientists often question accepted ideas because they want to find out the facts. Some have even questioned the story about the apple that fell on Newton’s head. Many reports suggest that although the falling apple certainly provided ideas, there is nothing to show that the apple actually hit him on the head.
In fact, fiction is often more interesting than the truth. People have been more encouraged by Franklin’s spirit than by the facts themselves. But in science, facts should be tested by experiments and research, and we should not always believe everything we read or hear — even if it is a great story.
36. Franklin did the experiment in order to prove ______.
A. he was an excellent scientist B. flying a kite in the storm was safe
C. he was not afraid of lightning D. lightning was a form of electricity
37. The underlined word “fiction” probably means something ______.
A. not true B. quite different C. not safe D. quite necessary
38. Some scientists questioned whether Franklin ______ in the experiment.
A. flew a kite B. touched the key
C. was present D. discovered electricity
39. The purpose of the passage is to tell us ______.
A. Franklin’s spirit is encouraging B. fiction is more interesting than the truth
C. Franklin’s experiment is not real D. we shouldn’t always believe accepted ideas
(B)
Bob Butler lost his legs in 1965 in Vietnam. A year later he returned to the US and began his life in wheelchair（轮椅）. One day, he was working in his yard when he heard a woman calling for help. He began moving towards the woman’s house, but something on the ground stopped his wheelchair going through the back door. So he got out of his wheelchair and started to crawl.
When Butler got through the back door of the house, he found there was a little girl in the pool. She had no arms and couldn’t swim. Her mother was calling for help crazily. Butler got into the pool and pulled the little girl out of the water. Her face was blue, and she was not breathing.
Butler did CPR（心肺复苏术）on her right away. As Butler continued doing CPR, he talked to the mother, “Don’t worry,” he said. “It’ll be OK. I was her arms to get out of the pool. I am now her lungs. Together we can make it.”
Soon the little girl coughed and began to cry. The mother asked Butler how he knew it would be OK. “I didn’t know,” he told her. “But when my legs were blown off（炸掉）in the war, a little girl in Vietnam said to me in broken English, “It’ll be OK. You will live. I’ll be your legs. Together we can make it.” Her kind words brought hope to me and I wanted to do the same for your little girl.”

A. He heard a little girl crying.
B. He heard his neighbors arguing.
C. He heard a woman calling for help.
D. He heard someone calling his name.
41. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “crawl”

(C)
When Liberia was my home, they called it sweet. Sweet was the word I remembered most during the war. When I was five, my father, two sisters and I fled from Monrovia, the capital city of Liberia, and headed north on foot among panicked masses of criers — a journey that ended in a village where we hid from flying bullets（子弹）. Every dawn, my sisters and I joined my father and covered the pages of his small journal with words. My favorite word to write was “sweet”, one that had the power to numb the reality of our 6-month abandonment（抛弃）by peace and civilization.
Eventually, we were considered the lucky ones: part of the wave of refugees who left Liberia in1990 to settle in America. My mother studied at Columbia University at the time, and we made our new home in her dormitory while awaiting her graduation. My father who left early in the mornings looked for work or news of a possible return to Liberia, only to return home with nothing to give us but new words to write in notebooks. He quickly found that the education received in Liberia was not good enough for an engineering job in the United States. So he took whatever job he could find to make sure we always had food on the table and books.
In 2011, I founded a children’s book publishing company: One More Book. It provides children’s literature for the children of countries with low literacy（识字）rates and underrepresented cultures by publishing culturally relevant books that have something meaningful to say to them. My hope is to give children the peace I was given through the words of my father, by allowing them to see themselves in literature. I also think it is important to provide books about foreign countries to children in the United States, to increase the overall awareness of the world outside them.
I will never be able to give my father back the twenty years he spent working to educate us, or the home and life in Liberia he lost. I repay his sacrifice（牺牲）by honoring the education he fought for and offering my art to the world, with stories that make the histories of my people come alive, and with words to live by.
43. What was the author’s family’s life like in Liberia
A. Sweet and peaceful. B. Frightening but positive.
C. Comfortable but boring. D. Adventurous and exciting.
44. What is the meaning of the word “settle” in the second paragraph
A. live B. study C. work D. eat
45. What does the author want to express in the last paragraph
A. Her pity for her father’s suffering.
B. Her thanks to her father’s devotion.
C. Her pride in working for her people.
D. Her disappointment over the life in Liberia.
