Ⅱ.阅读理解
(2013·江西省高三上学期七校联考)
A year ago August，Dave Fuss lost his job driving a truck for a small company in west Michigan.His wife，Gerrie，was still working in the local school cafeteria，but work for Dave was scarce，and the price of everything was rising.The Fusses were at risk of joining the millions of Americans who have lost their homes in recent years.Then Dave and Gerrie received a timely gift—$7,000，a legacy (遗产) from their neighbors Ish and Arlene Hatch who died in an accident.“It really made a difference when we were going under financially，” says Dave.
But the Fusses weren’t the only folks in Alto and the neighboring town of Lowell to receive the unexpected legacy from the Hatches.Dozens of other families were touched by the Hatches’ generosity.In some cases，it was a few thousand dollars；in others，it was more than $100,000.
It surprised nearly everyone that the Hatches had so much money，more than $3 million—they were an elderly couple who lived in an old house on what was left of the family farm.
Children of the Great Depression，Ish and Arlene were known for their habit of saving.They liked comparison shopping and would routinely go from store to store，checking prices before making a new purchase.
Through the years，the Hatches paid for local children to attend summer camp when their parents couldn’t afford it.“Ish and Arlene never asked if you needed anything，” says their friend Sandy Van Weelden.“They could see things they could do to make you happier，and they would do them.”
Even more extraordinary was that the Hatches had their farmland distributed.It was the Hatches’ wish that their legacy—a legacy of kindness as much as one of dollars and cents—should enrich the whole community and last for generations to come.
Neighbors helping neighbors—that was Ish and Arlene Hatch’s story.
1．According to the text，the Fusses________.
A．were employed by a truck company
B．were in financial difficulty
C．worked in a school cafeteria
D．lost their home
2．Which of the following is true of the Hatches?
A．They had their children during the Great Depression.
B．They left the family farm to live in an old house.
C．They gave away their possessions to their neighbors.
D．They helped their neighbors to find jobs.
3．Why would the Hatches routinely go from store to store?
A．They decided to open a store.
B．They wanted to save money.
C．They couldn’t afford expensive things.
D．They wanted to buy gifts for local kids.
4．According to Sandy Van Weelden，the Hatches were________.
A．understanding B．optimistic
C．childlikeD．curious
5．What can we learn from the text?
A．The community of Alto was poor.
B．The summer camp was attractive to the parents.
C．Sandy Van Weelden got a legacy from the Hatches.
D．The Hatches would like the neighbors to follow their example.
Ⅲ.阅读表达
(2013·江西省赣州市高三下学期4月模拟考试)
[1]Cleveland was an industrial boom town in the years after
World War Ⅰ.The city grew very fast，thanks to the steel industry，the automobile industry and
other big businesses.And along with a
growing population，there was also a growing number of cars.
[2]Garrett Morgan was the first AfricanAmerican man in
Cleveland to own one.One day，Morgan was at a busy Cleveland
intersection when he witnessed a particularly bad collision.As he
analyzed what had happened，he realized what the problem was.
[3]Back in those days，traffic signals were just “stop” or
“go”．And a lot of times，the sign would switch while a car was in the middle of the intersection—with no time to get out.That gave Morgan an idea.He created a traffic signal that had a third function—the “warning” sign that had been missing up until that point.And on November 20th,1923，the US Patent Office officially recognized his new invention.
[4]Originally，the traffic signal that Morgan invented had to be operated manually instead of autoswitch.Eventually，he sold the rights to his traffic
signal to
General
Electric Company，which led to the creation of the modern traffic light.
[5]Morgan was born in Kentucky in 1877.As a teenager，he moved to Ohio to find work.At first，finding work was difficult because a lot of businesses would not hire a black man.But Morgan was determined and he became a successful businessman himself—and a newspaper publisher as well.He also invented a number of other products in addition to the traffic signal—including a gas mask that became the model for
the protective masks worn by soldiers during World War Ⅰ.
[6]In terms of the key to his success，______________helped
open new roads to success，for the generations that have followed him.“If a man puts something to block your way，the first time，you go around it，” he once said.“The second time，you go over it.And the third time，you go through it.”
