五、阅读理解
One of the things I always believe is that no matter how bad something is, you can take something positive out of it. The one time I wasn’t sure of that was on September 11.
　　I usually wake up a 6:30 or 7:00 in the morning. That day, I happened to wake up earlier. I turned on the TV and I saw that a plane had crashed (撞击) into the North Tower of the World Trade Center. My first reaction (反应) was that it was a terrible accident. Then I saw another plane fly into the South Tower and I realized that I was witnessing (目击) an act of terrorism.
　　My wife and I spent the day watching the terrible pictures over again. When I watched family members looking for their loved ones, the pain in their eyes was something I would never forget. I couldn’t understand how something this terrible could have happened.
　　It wasn’t until a few weeks after September 11 that I began to see that perhaps some good did come from this tragedy (悲剧). People seem different now, more understanding, more tolerant(宽容的). Little things that seemed to be such a trouble before are no longer big things. Personally, I am more tolerant than I was. I realize life is too short, and too precious(珍贵的), to let myself get worried over small things. I’ve learned also that you can’t take things for granted. Things change in the blink of an eye. People go to work and don’t come back. One moment they’re living and the next minute they’re not. And, it doesn’t matter who you are, there is nothing you can do about it. We never know when our time here 　　will be over, so we all need to make the most of every minute we have.
　　You try to learn from what happened. You can’t be used up by it. You can’t live by it. All you can do is just live.
1. The word “positive” in the passage probably means ______.
A. terrible　　B. bad　　C. good　　D. real
2. What did the writer see after he turned on the TV that morning
　A. A fire starting　B. A plane flying C. A terrible accident　　D. An act of terrorism.
3. From September 11, the writer had realized that___________.
　A. people should make the most of every minute they have
　B. he has become less tolerant towards others
　C. he should get worried about little things
　D. life is too short to care about others.
4. What’s the best title of this passage
　A.A Report about September 11 B. The Tragedy of September 11
　C. September 11 and My Family D. September 11 and My Turn. 根据下
B
When Xiong Chuanfa, 34, blows a lifelike tiger out of sugar in just minutes, kids
look at him in surprise thinking he is a magician.
Xiong has been blowing sugar figurines（ 吹 糖 人 ） for over twenty years.
Blowing sugar figurines is a Chinese traditional folk（民间）art with a history of over
600 years and has been listed as a state-level intangible cultural heritage（非物质文化
遗产）.
Every morning, Xiong prepares the sugar and drives to different markets in
Nanchang to start his magic show.
He heats（加热） the sugar, pulls off a little to make a ball and blows it into
different shapes—a rabbit, a monkey, and even Bing Dwen Dwen, the mascot of the
Beijing 2022 Winter Olympics.
People, especially little kids, are interested in his skills. ▲, he also stops by
colleges.
Many college students have been drawn to the art, waiting in line for hands-on
experience. Among them, Simon, a foreign student, couldn't help having a try.
Though it looked easy, he found it difficult to make it. Thanks to Xiong's help, Simon
finally saw a horse slowly taking shape.
Simon was deeply moved after learning about the art. “I just can't believe the
traditional folk art can be kept so well here. I love it. Chinese culture should be spread
around the world,” he said.
This art has been passed down for four generations（代） in Xiong's family. His
6-year-old son often blows sugar balloons, just like what he used to do as a child.
“We will pass on the intangible heritage,” said Xiong.

A. 26 years old B. 34 years old
C. a bus driver D. a foreign magician
2. Which of the following can be put in the ▲
A. To draw young people closer to the art

A. stay in China to blow sugar horses B. offer Xiong a helping hand in class
