　　In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her. The teacher painted a bleak (暗淡的) picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents asked her to do so.

　　After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright child. Although I was able to make her join in different learning activities, writing was always a struggle. I tried all kinds of methods to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would refuse to write.

　　One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school crying. The teachers there did not know enough sign language to ask her what happened. Finally they led her into the office where they handed her a pen and a piece of paper. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.” Immediately the teachers realized she left her backpack on the bus. They called the bus driver back to school and soon Katherine got her backpack back.

　　That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she fell in love with writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader.

　　阅读理解阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba. com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is iust the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

　　If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ”my Chinese teacher asked me one day.

　　With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

　　Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall. com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

　　What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U. S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big—box retailers especially—in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

　　I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.

　　Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese—language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

　　1. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in ________.

　　A. its low price

　　B. its not charging small sellers

　　C. its business-to-business service

　　D. its big size

　　2. In paragraph 1, by referring to “Alibaba” as “the middleman”, the author means _______.

　　A. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.

　　B. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.

　　C. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.

　　D. Alibaba will continue to develop.

　　3. What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.

　　B. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail.

　　C. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.

　　D. TMall. com provides more profit than Taobao.

　　4. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. How the author purchases online in China.

　　B. Alibaba influences people’s daily purchase i China.

　　C. Shopping online in China is TaoBao.

　　D. Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

　　参考答案1—4、DCCB

　　阅读理解。

　　When I was younger, bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.

　　I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle（哈哈笑）escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.

　　Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne（科隆香水）I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.

　　For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.

　　It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity（成熟）doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.

　　Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.

　　1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

　　A．Bedtime used to be the writer’s favourite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.

　　BUncle Ian liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.

　　C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.

　　D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Ian.

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。由第一段 “…bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. ..my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.”可知，A选项正确。由第四段首句 “For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me.” 可知，C选项正确。由倒数第二段首句 “It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian.” 可知，D选项正确。

　　结合第二段和该段的 “His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.” 可知，Uncle Ian 对于我用他的名字为我的玩具猴命名感到迷惑，但是他并不知道玩具猴对我有多重要，因此可推断，Uncle Ian并不是和作者一样喜欢玩具猴。B选项不符合文意，故选择B。

　　2. The writer loved Monkey Ian deeply because __________.

　　A. he could understand her

　　B. he was a fashionable monkey

　　C. he could talk with her

　　D. he was her most honest listener

　　答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。由第四段 “He was my best friend, and I told him everything.” 可以推断，玩具猴是作者最忠实的听众。故答案为D。

　　3. We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________.

　　A. keeping stuffed animals is babyish

　　B. maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility

　　C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up

　　D. human beings should be kind to animals

　　答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由倒数第二段可知，作者几年后才意识到想念玩具Ian 是没有错的。他懂得了成熟不仅仅意味着长大和承担责任，成熟也意味着怀念童年并有时候表现得稚气也无妨。故可推断，C选项符合文意。A选项与文意相反；B选项没有了 “only” ，意思就与原文相反；D选项未提及。

　　4. We can infer from the text that _________.

　　A. the writer is still a teenager

　　B. the writer is now a middle-aged woman

　　C. Monkey Ian got angry for being left alone

　　D．Uncle Ian has a monkey-like face“When I was younger…” 和最后一段 “…and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.” 可以推断，作者继续在成长并开始懂得自己，现在应该是个青少年。故答案为A。

　　阅读理解-----B

　　“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.

　　John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

　　After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

　　Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（乡村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

　　One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

　　It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.

　　1. What can we learn from the text?

　　A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.

　　B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

　　C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

　　D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

　　答案解析：答案为C。本题为推理题。由第一段首句 ““The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium...”可知，A选项错误。由第一段后面的 “Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.” 可知，B选项错误。由第二段内容可知，Tolkien 出生于南非，幼时丧父母，与aunt 住在英格兰，和表兄妹们一起玩耍的经历养成了对Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.的热爱，也使得Tolkien能够熟练掌握它们。故可推断，Tolkien在英格兰长大，熟悉的不会是非洲本土语言，应该是英语，文章提到那些语言自然就是古英语了。故答案C正确。

　　2. What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?

　　A. Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

　　B. Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

　　C. Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

　　D. Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

　　答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。由文章第四段 “Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural class. Hobbits live in hillside holes.” 可知，A、B、C均不正确。由“half-sized”可推断，Hobbit 中的大多数人是侏儒。故答案为D。

　　3. Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?

　　A. One of Tolkien’s students. B. Stanley Unwin’s son.

　　C. Allen & Unwin.

　　D. Bilbo Baggins.

　　答案解析：答案为B。本题为推理题。尽管文章倒数第二段首句提到 “One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft .” 但是后文又提到 “ The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son…” 故可以推断，对于The Hobbit的出版起着决定作用的应该是Stanley Unwin’s son。故答案为B。

　　4. What is mainly discussed in the text?

　　A. “The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.

　　B. A completely new masterwork in the new millennium.

　　C. A famous professor at Oxford University.

　　D. The power of the magic ring.

　　答案解析：答案为A。本题考查文章的中心。由第一段最后一句 “…but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.” 和文章后面的内容可知，本文主要介绍The Lord of the Rings 和其作者。故答案为A。

　　5. Which of the following shows the right order of Mr. J.R.R.Tolkien’s life experience?

　　a. He had his “The Hobbit” published.

　　b. He became a member of the Inklings.

　　c. He served in World WarⅠ

　　d. He became an undergraduate at Oxford.

　　e. His work “The Lord of the Rings” came to the world.

　　f. He moved to England to live with his aunt.

　　A. f-d-b-c-a-e B. f-d-c-b-a-e C. f-c-d-b-e-a D. d-f-c-a-b-e

　　答案解析：答案为B。结合全文可知答案为B。
