第二节  阅读理解

Some people bring out the best in you in a way that you might never have fully realized on your own. My mom was one of those people.

My father died when I was nine months old, making my mom a single mother at the age of eighteen. While I was growing up, we lived a very hard life. We had little money, but my mom gave me a lot of love. Each night, she sat me on her lap and spoke the words that would change my life, “Kemmons, you are certain to be a great man and you can do anything in life if you work hard enough to get it.”

At fourteen, I was hit by a car and the doctors said I would never walk again. Every day, my mother spoke to me in her gentle, loving voice, telling me that no matter what those doctors said, I could walk again if I wanted to badly enough. She drove that message so deep into my heart that I finally believed her. A year later, I returned to school — walking on my own!

When the Great Depression (大萧条) hit, my mom lost her job. Then I left school to support the both of us. At that moment, I was determined never to be poor again.

Over the years, I experienced various levels of business success. But the real turning point occurred on a vacation I took with my wife and five kids in 1951. I was dissatisfied with the second-class hotels available for families and was angry that they charged an extra $2 for each child. That was too expensive for the average American family. I told my wife that I was going to open a motel (汽车旅馆) for families that would never charge extra for children. There were plenty of doubters at that time.

Not surprisingly, mom was one of my strongest supporters. She worked behind the desk and even designed the room style. As in any business, we experienced a lot of challenges. But with my mother’s words deeply rooted in my soul, I never doubted we would succeed. Fifteen years later, we had the largest hotel system in the world — Holiday Inn. In 1979 my company had 1,759 inns in more than fifty countries with an income of $ 1 billion a year.

You may not have started out life in the best situation. But if you can find a task in life worth working for and believe in yourself, nothing can stop you.

1. What Kemmons’ mom often told him during his childhood was ______.

   A. caring      B. moving       C. encouraging      D. interesting

2. According to the author, who played the most important role in making him walk back to school again?

   A. Doctors.     B. Nurses.     C. Friends.          D. Mom.

3. What caused Kemmons to start a motel by himself?

   A. His terrible experience in the hotel.

   B. His previous business success of various levels.

   C. His mom’s support.

   D. His wife’s suggestion.

4. Which of the following best describes Kemmons’ mother?

   A. Modest, helpful, and hard-working.

   B. Loving, supportive and strong-willed.

   C. Careful, helpful and beautiful.

   D. Strict, sensitive and supportive.

5. Which of the following led to Kemmons’ success according to the passage?

   A. Self-confidence, hard work, higher education and a poor family.

   B. Mom’s encouragement, clear goals, self-confidence and hard work.

   C. Clear goals, mom’s encouragement, a poor family and higher education.

   D. Mom’s encouragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities.

第三节. 读后续写

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I was responding to a call from a small brick flat (用砖做的公寓) in a quiet part of town. I assumed I was being sent to pick up some party­goers, or someone who had just had a fight with a lover, or a worker heading to an early shift at some factory for the industrial part of town.

When I arrived at 2：30 am, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under such circumstances, many drivers just honk (按喇叭) once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away. But I had seen too many weak people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation.

Unless a situation smelled of danger, I always went to the door.

This passenger might be someone who needed my assistance, I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute，” answered a frail, elderly voice. I could hear something being dragged across the floor. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. She was wearing a print dress and a pillbox hat, like somebody out of a 1940s movie. By her side was a small nylon suitcase.

The apartment looked as if no one had lived in it for years. All the furniture was covered with sheets. There were no clocks on the walls, no equipment on the counters. In the corner was a cardboard box filled with photos and glassware.

“Would you carry my bag out to the car？” she said. I took the suitcase to the cab, then returned to assist the woman. She took my arm, and we walked slowly toward the cab.

She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It's nothing，” I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”

Paragraph 1：

Having given me an address, a hospice (临终关怀医院), she asked. “Could you drive through downtown？” When I asked why we didn't take the shortest way, the small woman told me it was the last chance for her to visit the city. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived. Besides, she asked me to slow in front of a particular building or corner and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing. At last, she said she was tired and wanted to go to the hospice.

Paragraph 2：

We drove in silence to the address she had given me, and it was a low building, where the old lady would live the rest of her life. Two nurses who must have been expecting her came out to the cab as soon as we pulled up. I opened the trunk and took the suitcase to the door and the woman was already seated in a wheelchair. When she asked how much she owed me, without thinking, I said nothing and bent to give her a hug. It was my assistance that helped one of the weak people realize her wish.
