Sleepless at Night It was a normal summer night.Humidityhung in the thick air. I couldnt go to sleep, partly because of my cold and partly because of my expectations for the next day. My mum had said that tomorrow was going to be a surprise. Sweat stuck to my aching body. Finally, I gathered enough strength to sit up. I looked out of my small window into the night. There was a big bright moon hanging in the sky, giving off a magic light. I couldnt stand the pressure anymore, so I did what I always do to make myself feel better. 1 went to the bathroom and picked up my toothbrush and toothpaste. I cleaned my teeth as if there was no tomorrow. Back and forth, up and down. Then 1 walked downstairs to look for some signs of movement, some life. Gladiator, my cat, frightened me as he meowedhis sad song. He was on the o1d orange couch,sitting up on his front legs, waiting for something to happen. He looked at me as if to s吼 Im lonely, pet me. I need a good hug. Even the couch begged me to sit on it. In one movement I settled down onto the soft couch. This couch represented my parents marriage, my birth, and hundreds of other little events. As I held Gladiator, my heart started beating heavily. My mind was flooded with questions: Whats life? Am I really alive? Are you listening to me? Every time I moved my hand down Gladiators body, I had a new thought; each touch sang a different song. I forget all about the heat and the next days surprise. The atmosphere was so full of warmth and silence that I sank into its alms. Falling asleep with the big cat in my arms. I felt all my worries slowly move away. 1 The author could not go to sleep partly because _____________ A it was too cold B it was too dry C he had a cold D he had a fever 2 What was the weather like that night? ____________ A It was cool B It was windy C It was fine D It was cloudy 3 The author brushed his teeth over and over __________ A to relieve himself of the pressure B to ease his toothache C to shake off the cold D to remove the dirt 4 Gladiator was the name of __________ A a movie B a pet C a couch D a song 参考答案:C、 C 、A 、B 答案解析: 1.正确答案为C。该题问的是:该文的作者不能入睡的部分原因是什么?第二段的第一个句子是这么说的:我不能入睡,部分原因是感冒,部分原因是对第二天的期待。 2.正确答案为C。该题问的是:那天的天气怎么样?第一段的第一句是这么说的:这是一个普通的夏季里的夜晚。第三段的最后一句话说的是:一个巨大的明媚的月亮悬挂在天空,发出妖艳的光芒。可见,那天天气很好。 3.正确答案为A。该题问的是:作者不断地刷牙是为什么?第四段的第一句话是这么说的:我再也受不住这种压力了。于是我就去做我经常做的事,使得感觉好些。下面就谈到了刷牙。 4.正确答案为B。该题问的是:Gladiator是什么的名字?第五段的第二句话是这么说的:Gladiator,我的猫,喵喵地唱出了它的悲哀的歌,把我吓了一跳。可见Gladiator是爱畜的名字。
