四、阅读理解(20分)

第一节：阅读下面短文, 选出最佳答案。(15分)

A

Delia was a young pianist. Her husband Joe was a talented young painter. They lived in a small flat in New York.

Each of them was taking lessons: Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. Their teachers were the best, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but…when you love your art, nothing is too much.

But soon the money began to run out, and they couldn't afford the lessons any more.

Then one day Delia came back home and told Joe that she had met a man whose daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano, and he was going to pay her $50 an hour.

 “Delia, ” Joe said, “I'll be much happier if you keep up your lessons. ” Delia said it didn't matter. “When I've had some money, I'll start again. When you love your art, nothing's too much. ”

A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took $200 from his pocket. “I met a man from Vermont, ” he said, “who bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more！”

Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia's hand was wrapped in a bandage. “Oh, ” said Delia. “My student, Sally, asked me to pour some coffee for her. So I did—and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand. ”

Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing over the last two weeks？” he asked. She took a deep breath and started to cry. “Oh Joe, I couldn't get any students so I got a job in a coffee shop. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can't work any more. I'm sorry, Joe—but we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won't we？”

Joe looked at her. “There's no man in Vermont, ” he said. “I haven't sold any paintings. I've been working in a drugstore (药房), and today someone came in to buy bandages for a woman who'd burned her hand. So when I saw you, well, I guessed. ”

They both laughed. “So we've told each other lies, ” said Joe. “But when you love your art. . . ”

Delia put her fingers to his lips (嘴唇). “No, Joe, ” she said, “just ‘When you love. . . '”

41. How did Joe most probably feel when he first knew about Delia's plan?

A. Proud but a bit afraid.

B. Excited but a bit angry.

C. Curious but a bit sad.

D. Cheerful but a bit tired.

42. What did Delia want to say in the end?

A. When you love your art, you can't tell lies.

B. When you love someone, you can't tell lies.

C. When you love your art, nothing's too much.

D. When you love someone, nothing's too much.

43. Which of the following can best describe the couple's life?

A. Full of joy.  B. Full of love.

C. Full of lies.  D. Full of surprises.

B

Betty and I are best friends. Our birthdays are on the same day, so every year we have a birthday party together. But this year we had a costume party instead.

While we were writing the invitations, my mum came in and asked, “Nancy, what about inviting John？” John had been in our class for only a few months, but he was already getting better grades in Maths than anyone else in our class. I wrinkled(皱起) my nose, “Mum, he wears the same pants to school every day. How could he even afford a costume？” Mum said nothing.

The next day, Mum gave me an envelope(信封) with a shopping card in it. “I thought it would be nice for you to give this to John, ” Mum said. But how? We didn't want to make John embarrassed. We discussed it for a long time. Finally, Betty and I had a good idea.

On the day of our party, John arrived, in an old shirt, but still in the same brown pants as usual. Before eating the birthday cake, Betty said in a loud voice, “Now it's time for the great prize game. ” It was a Maths game. None of us were surprised when John gave the right answer first and walked off with the envelope.

Everything went well as we planned. John wore a new pair of pants and a new shirt the next week. He felt happy. So did we.

When we help others, we need to find a proper way, or we may hurt them in another way.

44. Nancy and Betty are ____.

A. best friends   B. cousins

C. sisters   D. colleagues

45. John did best in ____ of all the class.

A. Chinese   B. games

A woman bought a parrot from a pet store. However, the woman decided to return the parrot to the shop the next day.

“This bird doesn't talk, ” she told the pet shop owner.

“Does he have a mirror in his cage(笼子)？” the owner asked. “Parrots love mirrors. ”

The woman bought a mirror and left. The next day she came back, saying that the bird still wasn't talking.

“How about a ladder? Parrots love ladders, ” the owner said. The woman bought a ladder and left. But the next day, she was back.

“Does your parrot have a swing? No? Well, once he starts swinging, he'll talk, ” the owner said.

The woman then bought a swing and left.

When she walked into the store the next day, she began to cry. “The parrot died, ” she said.

The pet store owner was shocked. “I'm sorry. Tell me, did he ever say anything？” he asked.

“Yes, right before he died, ” the woman answered, “in a low voice, he asked me, ‘Don't they sell any food at that pet store？'”

Sometimes we forget what's really necessary in life. We sometimes have lots of things to do at once, but we forget to deal with the most important things first. We have to remember to “feed the parrots” in our lives.

Fifteen years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One day I went to pick up a passenger at 2：40 a. m. When I arrived there, I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute, ” answered a weak, elderly voice.

After a while, the door opened. A small woman stood before me. She was more than eighty years old. By her side was a big bag.

When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown？”

“It's not the shortest way, ” I answered quickly.

“Oh, I'm in no hurry, ” she said. “I'm on my way to a hospice(临终关怀医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I am not long for this world. ”

I listened quietly and shut off the meter(计程表).

For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the place where she had gone dancing as a girl.

Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a special building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.

We drove in silence to the address she had given me.

“How much do I pay you？” she asked.

“Nothing, ” I said.

“You have to make a living, ” she answered.

“Oh, there are other passengers, ” I answered.

Almost without thinking, I gave her a hug. She held on to me and said, “You gave an old woman a perfect gift. ”

My favourite gift

People often give gifts to show their love and friendship. Among all the gifts I have got, the most special one is a hand­made calendar.

It was made by my best friend Jane. On each page of the calendar, there is a picture of Jane with some words written by herself. She either tells me how she feels about our friendship or encourages me to try my best to live a happy life.

Whenever I look at the calendar，I am touched by something warm，and my heart is filled with love. It is a memory of all the wonderful time which I spent with my best friend in junior high school. I will keep this special gift forever.
