第二部分 阅读理解（满分40分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

21．（6分）

A simple wooden box attached to 8-year-old Alex Benitez-Alvarez’s walker made it easier for the boy to

carry school supplies and allowed him to do more things on his own.

“Now if he wants to go to the library and get a book out, he can.” said Tommy Johnson, one of three high school

students who helped Benitez-Alvarez.

Their idea came from an engineering project that pairs young engineers with people from local special education

programs. Engineering teams from Shakopee East and West junior high schools designed models of several devices to

make their disabled partners

’

lives easier. Some of the simplest ideas were the most useful, such as an adjustable chair to

help a child put his or her shoes on. They also came up with special building blocks that can help blind babies learn by

touch.

In an education system driven by exams, engineering teacher TJ Hendrickson said the project gave students the

chance to create something they could actually see for themselves. “Students stopped worrying about their grades and

started worrying about failing their clients,said Hendrickson, a teacher at Shakopee West Junior High.

Group projects encourage teamwork and motivate students differently from independent projects. In this case, the

project also taught a much-needed lesson in developing people skills. The meetings also helped engineers add special

touches to their finished products. Benitez-Alvarez, who loves soccer, got the Minnesota United logo and a soccer ball

printed on his wooden storage box.

The project encouraged students with special needs to describe their physical disabilities while also teaching

engineers about the struggles of living with a disability.

“Everyone in the world should do this.” said Stephanie Betley, a teacher at Shakopee who hopes to see the project

spread to other schools. “It’s for someone else rather than yourself.”

C

D

．

To provide jobs to a group of young engineers.

2

、

B

．

It caused them more stress than their exams.

C

．

D

Challenging oneself

When my son was first diagnosed with Autism (

自闭症

), it was a very hard time for us. However, in some

22．（8分）

ways it was a relief, because we finally had a name for what was going on in our lives, but it also meant years more of

uncertainty, and we didn’t know what the future held.

When I shared the news with my coworkers, I was so surprised and happy to receive so much immediate love and

support from them. They were focused on what we needed, as opposed to how it would affect my ability to make it to

work.

One co-worker, Jackie, in particular, was amazing to my family and me. She called me into her office a few days

later, and gave me a “worry stone” It gives you something to focus on when you’re worried, rubbing your thumb (

拇指

)

around on this stone. It was a lovely gesture.

She then extended a permanent offer to drive us to any appointments or tests we needed. Considering the fact that

we lived 90 minutes from where most treatment took place, this was a tremendous offer. She made it very clear to me

that this offer included last minute trips or emergencies. Anytime we needed to go anywhere, she was willing to be our

transportation. She said that we needed to be able to focus on our son instead of having to divide our attention between

the road and him.

We never did need to take her up on her wonderful offer, but knowing it was there and that she was so willing to

help made it feel like we were much less alone.

1

、

What does “a relief” refer to in the first paragraph?

A

．

My son’s recovery from the disease.

B

．

The help from my co-workers.

C

．

Knowing what my boy’s problem is.

D

．

The sign of a better future.

2

、

Why did the co-work offer to drive for us?

A

．

She is a mare experienced driver.

B

．

We live far away from the hospital.

C

．

She lives very close to our house.

D

．

She wishes to reduce our worries.

3

、

What does the writer think of the offer by Jackie?

A

．

It’s a great comfort.

B

．

It’s a last-minute offer.

C

．

It’s not necessary.

D

．

It’s a difficult decision for her.

4

、

What might be the best title for the text?

A

．

Years of Uncertainty

B

．

The Most Generous Woman

C

．

In Time of Need

D

．

A Story of Sacrifice

Shortly after the war

，

my brother and I were invited to spend a few days with an uncle who had just

24．（8分）

returned from abroad. He had rented a cottage in the country

，

although he rarely spent much time there. We

understood the reason for this after our arrival: the cottage had no comfortable furniture

（家具）

in it

；

many of the

windows were broken and the roof leaked

（渗漏），

making the whole house terrible.

On our first evening

，

we sat around the fire after supper listening to the stories which our uncle had to tell of his

many adventures in distant countries. I was so tired after the long train journey that I would have preferred to go to

bed

；

but I could not stand missing any of my uncle's exciting stories.

He was just in the middle of describing a rather terrifying experience he had once had when there was a loud crash

from the bedroom above

，

the one where my brother and I were going to sleep.

"It sounds as if the roof has fallen in

！

"cried out my uncle

，

with a loud laugh.

When we got to the top of the stairs and opened the bedroom door

，

we could see nothing at first because of the thick

clouds of dust which filled the room. When the dust began to clear

，

a strange sight met our eyes. A large part of the

ceiling had fallen down

，

falling right onto the pillow

（枕头）

on my bed.

I was glad that I had stayed up late to listen to my uncle's stories

，

otherwise I should certainly have been seriously

injured

，

perhaps killed.

That night we all slept on the floor in the sitting room downstairs

，

not wishing to risk our lives by sleeping under a

roof which might at any moment fall down on our heads. We left for London the very next morning and my uncle gave

up his cottage in the country. This was not the kind of adventure he cared for either

！

1

、

Why did the uncle seldom spend much time in the country cottage

？

A

．

B

．

Because the cottage was in bad condition.

C

．

Because he was used to living abroad.

D

．

Because the rooms were too small to live in.

2

，

they could see nothing at first because.

A

．

it was completely dark inside

B

．

there was too much dust in the air

C

．

something strange stopped them

D

Years ago,my wife and I volunteered at a homeless shelter in downtown Los Angeles,US,preparing meals

25．（10分）

for thousands of people.I got to talk with one of the guys in line, said he liked my socks.“Want to see mine?”he

asked,lifting his was said he had been meaning to buy a pair but he hadn’t got around to it.I felt a

sinking feeling in my stomach.

The next day,after work,I stopped at Ross and filled up a cart with socks.I stuffed my trunk with next

morning,I set my alarm for 5 drove over to Santa Monica’s Palisades Park,which is a common destination for

homeless people.

I took one of the bags from my was still darkout.I headed for a group of three men,standing around a

tree,probably using it as a were asleep under heavy blankets,and the third was digging through his

I walked toward him,he watched me,perhaps questioning my motives.“I thought you guys might need

some fresh new socks,”I said,handing him a looked confused at first but took them and said,“Thank you.”I gave

him two more pairs for his friends.

I moved hour later,I had given out all the people were sleeping,and I felt like Santa.I knew that

when they woke up they would find a very meaningful present.

That was nine years week I’ll hand out as many socks as I I’m on vacation or on a business trip for

more than a week,I bring a bag of socks with me and hand them out to the homeless on the streets in other states and
