Part 3 Reading and Writing
Ⅵ. Reading Comprehension.
A. Choose the best answer.
After all these experiences, I learned a lot and began to grow up. One autumn night, when my parents and I returned
from my uncle’s house, my mother said that we might leave for Australia soon. I was crying on the bus, and some
people were turning around to look at me. I could not stop the thought of never hearing the morning radio programmes
in school again.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye
to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving, I couldn’t wait to think about all the places I was going to see—
the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving was hardly in
my head then.
The following years taught me to think all was going to turn out well, but the idea did not come to me at once. For
the first two years, I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not know
very clearly what I was or what I should be. Father died and Mother then married again… and things became even
more complex（复杂）. More than two years passed, my stepfather and I got used to each other at last. I was often
sad, and saw no end to“the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters,
taught my mother to fill out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers（移民局官员），took my
grandparents to the doctor and translated there…
I have learned that all common troubles go away at last if we don’t give up. My life will turn out all right, even
though it will be so hard.

69. When the writer first knew they would leave for Australia, she felt ____.
A. bored B. angry C. confused D. sad
70. Before the writer went to a new place, she learned something about it from ____.
A. friends and schoolmates B. books and pictures
C. school radio programmes D. her parents and relatives
71. The underlined words this reason in Paragraph 2 refer to ____.
A. leaving the writer’s friends and relatives B. missing fun radio programmes
C. getting away from the writer’s parents D. being not able to see new places
72. For the first two years in Australia, the writer _____.
A. thought a lot about her future B. studied in different schools

4 / 6

C. often lost her way in the school D. got on well with her stepfather

interviews

writing

A. it is difficult to learn to be patient B. there are more difficult things in the future

B. Choose the best answer and complete the passage.
FINDING FRIENDS ONLINE
What are the differences between online and real-life relationships?
In many ways, the Internet world mirrors the real world. Some people ask for information, play games, and share
hobby tips. Some buy and sell products. Others look for ___75___.
Unlike the real world, however, your knowledge about a person is limited to words ___76___. There, a person’s
thoughts-or at least the thoughts they type-are what really count（算数）. So even the ___77___ person can become
a chat room star.
Usually, this“faceless”communication doesn’t cause trouble. Who you are doesn’t really matter when you are
in a chat room, discussing sports or hobbies. In fact, people ___78___ what you think about. This makes the Internet
a great place for exciting conversation. Where else can so many people come together to chat about their interests?
But some Internet users want more than just someone to chat with. They are looking for serious love relationships.
Is the Internet a good place to find love? Some of these relationships are actually successful. Others fail painfully.
Supporters of online relationships say that the Internet allows couples to get to know each other by exchanging
ideas first. Your ___79___ isn’t so important as that in the real world.
But others of online relationships ___80___ that no one can truly know another person in the Internet world. Why?
Because the Internet gives users a lot of control over how others view them. The Internet users can carefully choose
their words to fit whatever image they want to give. In fact, they’re not really themselves.

75. A. money B. friendship C. fun D. news
76. A. on a screen B. in a book C. in a newspaper D. on TV
76. A. cleverest B. funniest C. strongest D. shyest
77. A. cleverest B. funniest C. strongest D. shyest
78. A. laugh at B. are proud of C. focus on D. are satisfied with
79. A. appearance B. education C. job D. interest
80. A. understand B. care C. argue D. wonder

C. Fill in the blanks with proper words.
For some people, music is no fun at all. About four percent of us are what scientists call amusic. Those amusics
are born without the ability to r___81___, repeat or remember musical notes（音调）. Amusic people often cannot
tell the difference between two songs. Amusics can only hear the difference between two notes if they are pretty
different.
As a result, songs sound like n___82___ to an amusic. Many amusics compare the sound of music to pieces of
metal hitting each other. Life can be hard for amusics. Their unfitness to enjoy music makes them away from others.

5 / 6

It can be difficult for other people to get to know them. Actually, most people cannot understand what it feels like to
be an amusic. Many amusics may not feel very c___83___ when they go to a restaurant or a shopping mall.
Sometimes they even feel painful. That is why many amusics usually stay away from places where there is music. “I
used to h___84___ parties,” says Margaret, a seventy-year-old woman who only discovered that she was an amusic
last month. By studying people like Margaret, scientists are f ___85___ learning how to find this
unusual condition.
Scientists say that the brains of amusics are different from the brains of people who enjoy music.
The difference isn’t about defective hearing（听力障碍）.
Many amusics are happy when their condition is found. For years, Margaret felt embarrassed about the p___86___
with music. Now she knows that a large number of people are like her. There is a name for the condition. That makes
it e___87___ for her to explain“When people invite me to a concert, I just say‘No thanks, I’m amusic,’”says
Margaret.“I just wish I had learned to say that when I was seventeen and not seventy.”

D. Answer the questions.
In 1935, when Emma was five years old, her mother died. Although her brothers and sisters were loving and caring,
they were no replacement for a mother’s love. Emma, who grew up to be my mother, told me that her family was too
poor to afford to buy her a little doll at that time.
After her mother’s death, Emma was determined to look after others. She felt that she could make up for her sad
childhood through her dedication（奉献）to her own family. But I knew there was still something missing.
A few days before Christmas in 1989, one customer came to our company with her beautiful handmade dolls. I
decided to get one for my five-year-old daughter, Lucy. Then I had an idea, I asked the customer to make me a doll
for my mother, Emma—a special one with grey hair and glasses—a grandmother doll.
A friend of mine agreed to play Santa（圣诞老人）to deliver the presents to our home on Christmas morning! I
began to get ready for what would turn out to be one special day of my mother’s life.
Santa arrived on Christmas Day at the planned time. Lucy was so happy to get the present from Santa. When Santa
turned to leave, he looked once more into his huge bag and brought out one more present. Then he asked where
Emma was. To my mother’s big surprise, she heard her name! He handed her the present and also a message card:
For Emma,
Before my trip this year, I was cleaning my room and found this package. It was supposed to be delivered on
December 25, 1935. Many apologies for delivering the present late.
Love,
Santa
She couldn’t speak but only held the doll she had waited fifty-four years to receive as tears of joy ran down her
cheeks（脸颊）. That doll, given by“Santa”，made my mother the happiest“child”that Christmas.
