B
When I was in high school, I worked part-time helping Dad sell fruits and vegetables at a market. One day, as I was preparing the fruits. A little boy came by with his mom and sister. He was about eight years old,and the girl five or six. They were looking the fruits in front of me. I heard the kids say to their mom (in French),"They're good!" I knew it was French because I can speak and understand it.
Then I noticed how mom was picking the fruits. At first I thought she was really looking at the fruits because she was facing them. But then I noticed how much she had to feel and smell each one as she picked them out. And often asked her son if it looked okay, but looked way above where his face was. Putting what I saw together, I was sure she was blind.
Both of the kids continued to help their mom pick out the fruits .The son made sure the fruits were not obviously bad, and the daughter handed them to her mom. The woman then felt each one and smiled, and the daughter would put them into their basket .The kids were smiling while helping their mom pick the fruits out.
Their smile and gentle manner moved me in a way that never happened before .It was so beautiful to see such young kids so willingly help. Most kids that age would be picking out candies or toys in a store for themselves, instead of helping their mom pick out fruits as the two kids did.
It was great to witness the moment, but not so great because I didn’t tell the mom how beautiful her children were in their language .this is what I regret to this day.
49. The women and her kids came to the market to buy .
A. fruits B. vegetables C. candies D. toys
50. According to what he saw, the writer was sure the mother couldn’t .
A. speak B. see C. smell D. hear
51. The writer was moved because .
A. the mother was brave to face her problems.
B. the kids were polite and kind to each other
C. the mother was careful in picking out things
D. the kids were so willing to help their mother
C
An old man was fishing on the bank of a river. A child came to see him fishing. The old man was really good at fishing and it didn't take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole basket of fish. But the child shook her head. The old man was surprised and asked, "Why don't you want the fish "
The child replied, "I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands."
The old man asked," Why do you want the rod "
"It doesn't take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing by myself
and I won't be afraid of not having any more fish to eat."
I think you will certainly say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesn't know how to fish, she cannot have fish to eat, even though she has the fishing rod. It's useless to only have a fishing rod. Fishing
skills are the most important, not the fishing rod.
Too many people think that if they have a "fishing rod" in their life, they will no longer fear the wind and
rain. They are just like the child, who thought that if she had a fishing rod, she would have fish to eat.
The old man was fishing on the bank of _____.
A. a river B. a lake C. a pool D。stream
53. Why did the child refuse the fish the old man gave her
A. Because she didn't like fish.
B. Because she wanted his fishing rod.
C. Because the old man had few fish.
D.Because she wanted to learn fishing skills.
54. The writer thought the child was _____ after she explained why she didn't want the fish.
A. smart B. hardworking C. silly D.creative
55. The article mainly tells us _____.
A. if you have a "fishing rod" in your life, you won't be afraid of anything
B. if you have a fishing rod, you'll have a lot of fish to eat
C. "fishing skills" are more important than "the fishing rod" in life
D.“the fishing rod”is more important than the fish that people catch

六、阅读表达(共5小题;每小题2分, 计10分)
Su Shi isn’t a strange name to us, as we learn his ci in textbooks. This year is remembered because he has been dead for 920 years.
Su is one of the most popular ancient writers. He was good at almost all kinds of writings and art, including poems, ci and prose(散文) as well as calligraphy and painting. But Su was not only respected for his talent, but also for his optimistic(乐观的) attitude toward life.
When he was young, he passed the imperial exams and got the degree of Jinshi. After that, he became an official.
Sadly, Su was demoted (贬谪) to serve in faraway areas because of false accusations(诬陷). But he didn’t lose his heart .
First, he went to Huangzhou, in today’s Hubei. There, he tried to enjoy life in the countryside. He farmed a piece of land which he called “Dongpo”. This is why people call him “Dongpo”. It’s said that he also invented Dongpo Pork, a famous Chinese dish, during this period. He wrote many of his best poems there, too, including Calming the Waves (《定风波》). Its line “ Impervious to wind, rain or shine, I’ll have my will ” showed his open-minded attitude(态度).
Su was also demoted to Danzhou, in today’s Hainan. In the beginning, he couldn’t get used to the hot, wet weather. He also couldn’t understand the local language. Instead of getting sad, he built schools and got along well with the locals. Many people traveled from afar to visit him.
回答下面5个问题,每题答案不超过6个词。
