  It was a hot summer day. My dad and I were getting ready to go out for a ride on the boat with my friend Katie and the dog when the phone call came, the call that made that bright, beautiful day a cold, dark, gloomy one.

  I had just put on my suit, shorts, and tank top, and packed my bag with sunscreen and everything else I would need for the day. I ran into my parents' room to find Dad. When I saw him on the phone, he was crying. I'd never seen my dad cry before. My heart sank. What possibly could have happened?

  "Max, I'm so sorry," I heard him say. That's when it hit me. I knew that Suzie had died.Max has been my dad's best friend for years. Suzie, his daughter, had a rare disease that mainly affected her body. Her brain was OK. She knew what was going on; she knew that shehad problems and was different from other kids. Once she told her dad that she wished she could die and be born in a different body. Yet although she couldn't live a normal life ,she was still happy.

  When Suzie and I were little, we spent quite a bit of time together. As we grew up, we grew apart. She lived in New York, and I lived in the Midwest. When Suzie was ten she had to live ina hospital in Virginia. About eight months before she died, Max gave us her number at the hospital and we talked at least twice a week until the end. Suzie was always so excited to talk to us and wanted to know every detail about my life. She wanted to know everything I did and every thing I ate. In a way, she lived through me.

  After we found out about her death, we made our plans to go to New York for the funeral. When she was alive, I sent her a Beanie Baby and she sent one back to me. I had bought her another one but never had the chance to send it to her, so I took it to put in her casket(棺材).

  Her funeral was very different from any funeral I'd ever been to. After they lowered her casket, each one of us put a shovelful of dirt over her. I remember crying so hard, I felt weak. My cheeks burned from the tears. My whole body was shaking as I picked up the shovel, but I'm glad I did it.

  When Suzie and I first started calling one another, I thought it would be more of a burden on me, but I was completely wrong. I learned so much from her. She gave me more than I could ever give to her. I will never forget her or the talks we had. I now know that I must never take anything for granted especially my health and the gift of life.

  5.The author's family cancelled their ride because______.

  A.Katie couldn't join them for the ride

  B.the weather was too terrible for a ride

  C.they couldn't find their dog

  D.Max's daughter passed away

  B.The author feared that she might also get the same disease as Suzie.

  1. Myth: Skipping meals (不吃饭) helps you lose weight fast.

  Truth: There’s no truth in this advice.Not only will you not lost weight by starving yourself, but according to Carol Ann Rinzler, this may actually cause you to gain weight. Rinzler reasons that missing a meal causes your metabolism(新陈代谢) to slow down so that you burn food more slowly. This only makes you feel hungrier and by the time you finally do reach the table you will probably eat more food. Strange as it may seem, studies show that eating several small meals and snacks throughout the day is a more healthy way to lose pounds.

  2. Myth: If you swallow (吞下) gum (口香糖),it will stay inside your stomach for seven years.

  Truth: Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years, says Nei Izenberg, M. D., editor of Kids Health Organization. But because gum is made of the same thing as rubber, it cannot be fully digested (消化) in your stomach--- so if you gum up the works on a regular (经常的) basis, you might find yourself in a sticky situation.

  3. Myth: The best way to stop a nosebleed is to lift your head back.

  Truth: Now that’s bad advice. Bloody noses are caused by broken blood vessels (血管), so while lifting your head back might stop the fluid from rushing out of your nose, it won’t stop the bleeding; you’ll just end up swallowing lots of blood. Your best bet? “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot (凝结) within a minute or two”. Suggests Dr. Izenberg.

  4. Myth: Cutting your hair will make it grow long faster.

  Truth: That’s not true. “Your hair isn’t like a lawn or a rosebush, where cutting can stimulate (刺激) fresh growth,” says Phillip Kingsley. The length of your hair is genetically ( 遗传地) determined.When it reaches a certain length, it stops growing. When you clear up the dead split ends, this make your hair look healthier, but not necessarily longer.

  1. According to Carol Ann Rinzler, skipping meals will __________.

  A. help you lose weight fast

  B. help you lose weight slowly

  C. cause you to become fatter

  2. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?

  A.Gum cannot be fully digested in the stomach

  B. Gum can leave your stomach after you swallow is a few days later

  C. If you often swallow gum, you might find yourself in a sticky situation

  D.Gum can stay inside your stomach for seven years if you swallow it

  答案解析:答案为D。本题为细节题。由第二部分 “Actually, it takes just a few days for gum to make its exit---not seven years”可知,实际上,口香糖几天后就会排出体外,而不是在人体内呆七年,故答案为D。

  3. When your nose bleeds, you’d better __________.

  A. lift your head back

  B. poke it

  C. rest quietly

  D. pick it

  答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节题。由第三部分 “Rest quietly. Don’t poke or pick, and the blood will naturally clot within a minute or two”. 可知,答案为C。

  较难题目特训:人物故事类

  We once had a poster competition in our fifth grade art class.

  “You could win prizes, “ our teacher told us as she wrote the poster information on the blackboard. She passed out sheets of construction paper while continuing, “The first prize is ten dollars. You just have to make sure that the words on the blackboard appear somewhere on your poster. “

  We studied the board critically. Some of us looked with one eye and held up certain colors against the blackboard, rocking the sheets to the right or left while weconjured up our designs. Others twisted their hair around their fingers or chewed their erasers while deep in thought. We had plans for that ten-dollar grand prize, each and every one of us. I’m going to spend mine on candies, one hopeful would announce, while another practiced looking serious, wise and rich.

  Everyone in the class made a poster. Some of us used parts of those fancy paper napkins, while others used nothing but colored construction paper. Some of us used big designs, and some of us preferred to gather our art tidily down in one corner of our poster and let the space draw the viewer’s attention to it. Some of us would wander past the good students’ desks and then return to our own projects with a growing sense of hopelessness. It was yet another grown-up trick of the sort they seemed especially fond of, making all of us believe we had a fair chance, and then always—always—rewarding the same old winners.

  I believe I drew a sailboat, but I can’t say that with any certainty. I made it. I admired it. I determined it to be the very best of all of the posters I had seen, and then I turned it in.

  Minutes passed.

  No one came along to give me the grand prize, and then someone distracted me, and I probably never would have thought about that poster again.

  I was still sitting at my desk, thinking, What poster? when the teacher gave me an envelope with a ten-dollar bill in it and everyone in the class applauded for me.

  1. What was the teacher’s requirement for the poster?

  A. It must appear in time.

  B. It must be done in class.

  C. It must be done on a construction sheet.

  D. It must include the words on the blackboard.

  2. The underlined phrase in paragraph 3 most probably means . 

  A. formed an idea for B. made an outline for

  C. made some space for  D. chose some colors for

  3. After the teacher’s words, all the students in the class . 

  A. looked very serious

  B. thought they would be rich

  C. began to think about their designs

  D. began to play games

  4. After seeing the good students’ designs, some students . 

  A. loved their own designs more

  B. thought they had a fair chance

  C. put their own designs in a corner

  D. thought they would not win the prize

  5. We can infer from the passage that the author . 

  A. enjoyed grown-up tricks very much

  B. loved poster competitions very much

  C. felt surprised to win the competition

  D. became wise and rich after the competition

  高考英语冲刺阅读理解专项-----B

  One night I was sitting in my room half – listening as my 15 year – old brother fought with my 12 year – old brother Kevin. I didn’t pay attention when Kevin rushed up the stairs with the hurt on his face.

  About 20 minutes later, as I was walking upstairs I heard Kevin crying inside the bathroom. I knocked on the door and asked, “Hey Kevin, do you want to talk?”

  No response. I tried again, “Why don’t you come out of there?”

  Again, no response.

  So, joking around, I grabbed a stack of index cards and a pencil and wrote, “If you don’t want to talk, we can write notes to each other.”

  An hour later I was still sitting on the floor outside the bathroom with two stacks of index cards in front of me. One was blank and one was cars from Kevin on which he had translated all his yucky feelings into words for me. As I read one of Kevin’s notes, tears came to my eyes. It said, “Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest, and I’m not talented. Tommy thinks I’m stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.”

  Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. “You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.”

  There was no response for a while, but then I heard a tearing sound coming from inside the bathroom. Kevin, who had run out of index cards wrote on a torn – up paper cup, “Thanks.”

  I wrote back “For what?” It returned to me with “Loving me” written on it. Since then, I try my best never to half – notice my family members anymore. Kevin and I have closer relationship now, and sometimes when one of us notices that the other is upset we’ll smile and say “Write it on a paper cup.”

  1. Why did Kevin stay inside the bathroom alone crying?

  A. Because he lost in the fight with Tommy.

  B. Because the author didn’t help him win Tommy.

  C. Because he felt no love from the family members.

  D. Because he hurt him when rushing up the stairs.

  答案解析:答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第六段Kevin写在索引卡“Nobody in this family cares about me. I’m not the youngest, and I’m not the oldest, and I’m not talented. Tommy thinks I’m stupid and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. And you’re never around to even notice me.” 可知,Kevin一个人呆在浴室里哭是因为他觉得家里没人关心他,他感受不到爱,故答案为C。

  2. The underlined word “yucky” (Para.6) most probably means “

  ”.

  A. unpleasant B. exciting C. doubtful D. frightening

  答案解析:答案为A。本题为词义猜测题。“yucky”修饰的词语是“feelings”,根据后面的Kevin写在索引卡’s Dad doesn’t like him?

  A. Kevin likes fighting with others.

  B. Kevin is not good at playing basketball.

  C. Kevin doesn’t want to talk to others.

  D. Kevin is not talented as his brother.

  答案解析:答案为B。本题为细节题。由第六段Kevin写在索引卡“…and Dad wishes he had the other Kevin as a kid because he’s better at basketball. ...” 可知,答案为B。

  4. What did the author learn from the incident?

  A. It’s hard to comfort young brothers at home.

  B. It’s dangerous to half – notice someone in the family.

  C. It’s important for family members to show their love.

  D. The best way to communicate with family members is by writing.

  答案解析:答案为C。本题为推理题。由倒数第三段 “Tears came to my eyes again as I wrote back to him. ‘You know Kevin, I really do love you and I’m sorry I don’t always show it. I am here for you and you are loved in this family.’”和最后一段 “It returned to me with ‘Loving me’ written on it.”可知,作者从这个事情中意识到,对孩子们的爱要表现出来非常重要,故答案为C。
