　　[2015·河北七校联考]Recently I came in contact with the true meaning of love. That would have been, Kane, a boy. Kane was the two­year­old son of Jolene, my new neighbor.

　　At a glance Kane was a sight. He'd been born with hard sticks for legs. And on that morning I witnessed the effect that Kane's physical shortcomings had on his family. But I also witnessed much more than that.

　　I saw an extraordinary family that embraced this special child, a family that wouldn't allow Kane to know he was different. Jolene had constructed a small cart just a few inches off the floor for his son to get around. Using his hands to move, Kane moved the cart to “go to” any place just as everyone else was able to do. Kane worked that little cart like a master. Kane was a vital focus of the entire family. He was more than just a member of the family, he was the soul. This child was the driver, the motivator, and the founder of much of the interaction.

　　Much later in my life, I came to realize that God had sent this child to help some of us who just weren't getting what love was all about. Even with my limited capacity for understanding at the time that Kane was a highly­developed spirit with great wisdom.

　　Kane demanded attention, but not because of his mobility challenges or other apparent shortcomings. In his mind, he had no challenges or shortcomings. The truth is that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer.

　　Kane was and still is a lot of warm and powerful energy sent to us all, so we might learn that love is beyond all things. Kane, a fragile yet lovely baby, was here to teach us all an important lesson. And at the age of two he did just that.

　　这是一篇关于什么是爱的文章，通过描述“我”的邻居 Kane，一个两岁大但身体有缺陷的孩子的家庭成长环境，告诉我们：爱可以战胜一切困难。

　　1．How did the author think of Kane's family members?

　　A．It was ridiculous for them to make a cart for Kane.

　　B．They were greatly brave to face all the difficulties.

　　C．They were strange because they locked Kane at home.

　　答案：B　考查推理判断。根据第三段中的“I saw an extraord-

　　inary family that embraced this special child, a family that wouldn't allow Kane to know he was different”可推知，这个家庭勇敢地面对所有的困难，故选B项。

　　2．How did Kane “go to” everywhere he wanted to go?

　　A．By moving his cart with his own hands.

　　B．By asking his father to lead him ahead with a stick.

　　C．By asking his grandparents to push him everywhere.

　　D．With the help of a babysitter employed for him.

　　答案：A　考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“Using his hands to move, Kane moved the cart...was able to do”可知，Kane用他的双手移动手推车，故选A项。

　　3．Kane needed attention because he wanted to show ________.

　　A．he could challenge his difficulties in moving

　　B．he had challenges or shortcomings in his life

　　C．he had the power to prove he was capable, too

　　D．he himself needed to be looked after by others

　　答案：C　考查推理判断。根据倒数第二段中的“The truth is that he received attention because he was alive and real and had so much to offer”可知，他需要关注是因为他想证明他能提供很多，故选C项。

　　4．What can we learn from Kane's story?

　　A．Love me, love my dog.

　　B．Pure gold fears no fire.

　　C．Love is above all things.

　　D．Many hands make light work.

　　答案：C　考查主旨大意。根据最后一段中的“so we might learn that love is beyond all things”可知，爱高于一切，故选C项。

　　[2015·辽宁五校联考]Washington

　　D．C. is No. 1

　　It is best known as a city of monument. In the middle of traffic circles or on street corners,

　　you'll find statues,

　　plaques (匾牌),

　　and simple blocks of marble there.

　　They honor the people who helped shape the US.

　　And on Oct. 20, Lonely Planet, one of the world's largest travel guides, named Washington D. C. the No. 1 city in its list of “Best in Travel 2015”．

　　“The year 2015 is a fantastic year to visit Washington D. C．，” Tom Hall, editorial director of Lonely Planet, told The Guardian. “The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination (暗杀)

　　makes this year big for Washington D. C. The famous top hat of American's 16th president and the gun that fired the deadly shot will be on display. Add that to its incredible eats, performing arts and museums. The nation's capital is looking better than ever.”

　　There are a lot of free museums in the city.

　　When British scientist James Smithson died in 1829, he left a will giving his money to the United States to open a museum at Washington, under the name of the Smithsonian Institution. It has turned out

　　to be a wonderful gift, and the institution now covers 19

　　museums. And of course, no Washington tour is complete without seeing the White House, the Capitol, and the Supreme Court,

　　which are home to the three pillars

　　(核心)

　　of the US government. But there is more to explore in the center of US power. It is a city you can walk across, with wide­open avenues, old neighborhoods,

　　and river views.

　　And as USA

　　Today notes, diversity is another reason to “fall in love with the city”. “There is a lot of diversity in Washington D．C., seen in its people, its neighborhoods and its landmarks. From Chinatown to Little Ethiopia, visiting the nation's capital is like seeing the world in one trip” said the newspaper.

　　本文列举种种理由力证华盛顿是2015年最值得旅游的地方。

　　5．One of the reasons why Washington

　　D．C. is worth a visit in 2015 is that ________.

　　A．food and performing arts there are much better than anywhere else in the world

　　B．the top hat of 15th president of America will be on show in the year 2015

　　C．seeing the museums will make your tour in Washington D．C. complete

　　D．the diversity of the city offers you an opportunity to see more in one trip

　　答案：D　考查细节理解。根据文章第五段中的“diversity is another reason to‘fall in love with the city’”和“From Chinatown to...in one trip” 可知，多元化的华盛顿可以让你在一次旅行中看到更多，故选D项。

　　6．Which of the following details is right according to the article?

　　A．The 150th anniversary of Lincoln's assassination makes the tour more worthwhile.

　　B．The first reason why Washington D．C. is worth a visit is that it is the capital of the country.

　　C．Lonely Planet decides to make Washington D．C. a most­visited place in 2015.

　　D．All the museums in Washington D．C. were named after the Smithsonian Institution.

　　答案：A　考查细节理解。根据第三段中的“The 150th anniversary of Abraham Lincoln's assassination(暗杀)makes this year big for Washington D．C.” 可知，林肯被刺杀150周年纪念将成为华盛顿旅游的一大亮点，A项正确；B项文章中并未提到华盛顿值得一游的第一个原因是它是美国的首都；C项歪曲原文，《孤独星球》的编辑主任介绍了2015年华盛顿的情况，但并不是他们决定让华盛顿成为2015年最值得旅游的城市；D项说所有的博物馆太过绝对。

　　7．What is USA Today, according to the last paragraph?

　　A．A well­known company.
