五、阅读理解(B篇)
When I’m in trouble, I always take out a book and read quietly. I put my heart into it so that I’ll forget all the unhappy things. I’ve developed a habit of reading in this way.
When I was a little boy, I was interested in comic books and storybooks. When I was a middle school student, I began to read novels, plays, essays and so on.
I found I could get much from them. Little by little, I took a great interest in literature and last term I won the first prize in the composition contest (作文竞赛) among high school students in our city.
Reading The Emperor’s New Clothes makes me laugh a lot over the emperor’s silly behaviour. The Little Match Girl makes me feel sad. Robinson Crusoe takes me into a strange world full of danger. And I am also deeply
moved by Helen Keller’s spirit of being strong and never giving up. Besides these, books also tell me other things—how to be a brave man and how to tell the difference between right and wrong. In a word, good books can let me know what I didn’t know before. So I think good books are just like my best friends.

C. Different books the writer liked and his achievement.
D. What the writer thought of the good books.
A
C
( )3. What is the emperor like in the story The Emperor’s New Clothes
A. He is clever. B. He is brave.
C. He is stupid. D. He is outgoing.
C
( )4. Why does the writer think that good books are like his best friends
A. Because they can teach him many things that he doesn’t know.
B. Because they can make him learn a lot about history.
C. Because they have beautiful pictures for him to enjoy.
D. Because they can tell him interesting stories and make him laugh.
A
( )5. What is the best title for the passage
