Ⅷ. 阅读理解（共20小题；每题2分，满分40分） 阅读下列短文，从每小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。 A How nosebleeds happen: ▲ Nosebleeds are very common among children and often result from activities such as blowing the nose too hard or getting hit on the nose during play. Catching colds or the flu can also cause nosebleeds. Usually, bleeding isn’t very serious and it will stop in less than ten minutes. When nosebleeds happen: ▲ Your child may be frightened that there is something seriously wrong. Crying may make the bleeding worse, so it is important for you to tell him that he will be fine. How to give first aid:▲ Let your child sit upright (直立) and tell him to put his head down. Help your child press the sides of the nose for ten minutes. Do not stop to see if the bleeding has stopped. If first aid works:▲ Rest your child for the next 12-24 hours. Tell him to do quiet activities such as drawing, reading a book or watching TV. Tell him not to take a hot shower for at least 24 hours after a nosebleed. Tell him not to touch or blow his nose for 24 hours. If first aid doesn’t work：▲ You’d better take him to hospital. 36. This passage is for ________. A. children B. parents C. nurses D. doctors 37. After a nosebleed, one should not ________. A. draw pictures B. read books C. watch television D. play basketball 38. From the passage, we can learn that ________. A. one should often stop giving first aid to see if the bleeding has stopped B. one should take a hot shower as soon as the bleeding stops C. It’s wrong to blow the nose as soon as the bleeding stops D. one should go to hospital right away if he has a nosebleed B When I was in the seventh grade, I volunteered at a hospital during the summer vacation. Most of the time, I was with Mr. Gillespie. He never had any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about him. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him. He became a close friend of mine, although he never replied to me. Mr. Gillespie was still in a coma (昏迷). I was away for a week to go on vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie wasn’t in the hospital. I didn’t want to ask the nurses where he was. I was afraid they might tell me he was dead. However, I kept volunteering there for a long time. Several years passed. One day, when I was at the gas station, I noticed a familiar face. I asked him if his name was Mr. Gillespie, and if he was in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied, “Yes.” I explained how I knew him and what I did in the hospital. With tears in his eyes, he gave me a warm hug. He told me that when he was in a coma, he could hear me talking and feel me holding his hand. He thought it was an angel, not a person, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie believed that my voice and touch kept him alive. Although I haven’t seen him since then, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and death. More importantly, he has made a very big difference to my life, too. I’ll never forget him and what he did for me—he made me an angel. 39. The writer was ________ when he volunteered in the hospital. A. a student B. a nurse C. a doctor D. a teacher 40. Mr. Gillespie believed that the writer’s ________ kept him alive. A. hug and spirit B. voice and touch C. smiles and songs D. hug and courage 41. From the passage, we know that the writer ________. A. is glad to make a difference to others by volunteering B. thinks volunteering can help him make more friends C. wants more people to work as volunteers in their free time D. gets a lot of money from volunteering in the hospital C A group of old classmates, who have succeeded in their work, got together to visit their teacher. Their talks soon turned to complaining (抱怨) about the stress in their work and life. The teacher went to the kitchen and returned with a large pot of coffee and many cups. Some of the cups are expensive and lovely, but some are cheap and not beautiful. The teacher told them to help themselves to the coffee. When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, “Have you noticed all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken, leaving behind the cheap ones? It’s OK for you to want only the best for yourselves, but that is why you have the stress in your work and life even if you are very successful now.” “All of you really wanted the coffee, not the cups, but you chose the best cups and were eyeing each other’s cups.” “Now think about this, life is the coffee, and money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to hold life. They do not change the quality (质量) of life. Sometimes, we just care about the cups, and we fail to enjoy the coffee. So, don’t let the cups drive you, enjoy the coffee instead. 42. The students who visited the teacher ________. A. are satisfied with their work B. are successful in their studies C. are strict with each other D. are successful in their work 43. The teacher noticed that the students ________. A. liked the cheap cups B. only took the best cups C. were drinking coffee D. like the coffee better than the cups. 44. Why did the students have the stress in the work and life? A. Because they really wanted coffee. B. Because they didn’t have good cups. C. Because they didn’t pay enough attention to life itself. D. Because they didn’t have money to buy coffee and cups. D For American teenagers, doing a part-time job is an important part of growing up. They can learn some important skills by doing a part-time job. They can also make some money in this way. Many teenagers believe that making their own money brings them pride and freedom. American teenagers can do part-time jobs at the age of 14. On weekdays, they may go to work a few hours a week after school. They usually work for longer on weekends. In summer, American teenagers are excited if they find part-time jobs at camps, swimming pools and amusement parks. These jobs can bring them too much fun. Some of the most stressful jobs include teaching, nursing, and police work. But these jobs can be useful for their future. When they grow up, the students with work experience are more likely to succeed than those without work experience. A favorite job for many teenagers is taking care of babies, and they can start before the age of 14. What they only do is to stay in the house and make sure the kids are OK. At the same time, they can do their homework, watch TV, or talk on the phone with friends. It is important to balance school, homework, and part-time jobs. Many American teenagers agree to do a part-time job and they value their work experience and the skills from the job. 45 The American teenagers do a part-time job for ________. A. talking on the phone with friends B. learning skills and getting money C. helping their families in the future D. doing anything they like 46. ________ is less stressful for American teenagers. A. Working at a police station B. Nursing C. Working at camps D. Teaching 47. Which kind of part-time jobs can a 13-year-old girl do in America? A. Working at parks. B. Working at a swimming pool. C. Looking after babies. D. Doing dishes in a restaurant. 48. What’s the passage mainly about? A. American teenagers and their part-time jobs. B. Some popular jobs among American teenagers. C. How to make more money and learn more skills. D. Whether American teenagers should work after leaving school. E Last Friday, I agreed to meet some friends at 6:00 p.m. in a coffee shop. The weather was sunny, so I decided to walk there. I arrived ten minutes early. I ordered a cup of coffee and sat watching people. There were some boys playing football on the street, and a small boy was running after the ball as it rolled (滚) across the road. Suddenly, there came a car. It was going very fast. When the driver saw the boy in his way, he braked (刹车) hard. But it was too late...The small boy was lying on the street without moving. To everyone’s surprise, the car didn’t stop. It drove away quickly. People ran to the boy. There was a cut on the boy’s head and he lost a lot of blood. The coffee shop owner telephoned the police. Soon an ambulance (救护车) arrived and took the boy to the hospital. At 6:30 p.m., the police arrived and started questioning people. About half an hour later, they asked me to go to the police station because I saw everything. I gave them all the information I knew because I really wanted them to catch the driver. I didn’t leave the police station until 8:00 p.m. After that I went home because I didn’t feel like talking to anyone. The next day the boy’s parents called me to say thanks. They also told me their boy was fine and the driver was in the police station now. 49. Who called the police? A. The writer. B. The boy’s friends. C The boy’s parents. D. The coffee shop owner. 50. The writer left the police station at ________ p.m. A. 6:30 B. 7:00 C. 7:30 D. 8:00 51. Which is the right order of the following events? ① The writer ordered a cup of coffee. ② There was a cut on the boy’s head. ③ A car came very fast. ④ The writer got a call from the boy’s parents. ⑤ The writer went back home. A. ①②⑤③④ B. ①③②⑤④ C. ③②①⑤④ D. ③①②④⑤ 52. How might the writer feel at the end of the story? A. Happy B. Tired. C. Worried. D. Popular. F Remember when you were a little child trying to learn to walk? First, you had to learn how to balance (平衡) yourself and stand. You fell down, and then got back up. You laughed sometimes and cried at other times. After much practice, you finally learned how to balance yourself. You got much pleasure from this new feeling of power—you'd stand everywhere you could. It was a happy time—you did it! Now the next step—walking. You'd seen others do it. It didn't look that hard—just move your legs while you were standing. Wrong—more difficult than you ever imagined. But after you tried again and again and again, you understood how to walk. If people found you walking, they cheered, "Oh, look at what the kid is doing." This encouraged you! But look back on those days when you were the little child—how many times did you try when no one was watching, or when no one was cheering? You couldn't wait for someone to encourage you to take the next steps. You learned how to encourage yourself. So, keep trying and encouraging yourself as you learned to walk if you want to succeed in doing something. 53. What is the first step in learning to walk? (不超过15个词) __________________________________________________________ 54. When did you understand how to walk? (不超过15个词) __________________________________________________________ 55.
