A
Even before my father left us, my mother had to go back to work to support our family. Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes. I have only one hand.”
Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”
In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids
behind me laughed, and I went home crying.
That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school.
At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.
“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hook the bar with my other elbow. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs,
I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.
One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”
For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint and cracking. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears. 1. Which of the following expressions can be used most suitably to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child to peel potatoes? A. Cruel. B. Serious. C. Strict. D. Cold.
答案解析：答案为C。 本题为细节推理题。由第二段妈妈说的话 “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”可知，妈妈的话语非常坚定，对孩子要求非常严格，故答案为C。
2. From the passage, we know monkey bars can help a child train ______. A. the skill to throw and catch things B. the speed of one’s hand movement
C. the strength and skill to hang and sway D. the bodily skill to rotate round a bar
答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “?had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next.”可知，monkey bars 要求从一根高铁杠摇荡到另外一根，即训练儿童悬挂和摇荡的力气和技巧，故C选项正确。
3. What does the sentence “I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” imply?
A. Mom believed every aim could be achieved if you stuck to it.
B. The race across monkey bars was not difficult enough for a child to give up.
C. Mom was determined to prove she herself was better than the teacher. D. What the child had said brought Mom great attraction and curiosity. 答案解析：答案为A。本题为语义理解题。“I saw her ‘we’ll see about that’ look” 出现在第四段，由本句话的下文 “The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.”和第五段 “Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung I reached.”可知，妈妈听说我因为不会monkey bars而遭到其他小朋友的嘲笑，就日复一日带我去练习，对我每一次的成功都给予表扬，可推断，妈妈那脸上的表情表明在她的内心世界里，她认为不论什么只要坚持就可以取得，故答案为A。B选项只是这句话的表层意思，C、D则离题太远。
4. When the child looked down at the kids, they were standing with their mouths open because ______.
A. they felt sorry for what they had done before
B. they were afraid the author might fall off and get hurt C. they wanted to see what the author would do on the bars D. they were astonished to find the author’s progress 答案解析：答案D。本题为细节推理题。由第三段 “Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.” 我不会monkey bars 遭到其他小朋友的嘲笑到第五段 “I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.” 我会了monkey bars后，其他小朋友自然会对我的进步和成功而感到惊讶，故答案为D。
5. The most probable conclusion we can draw after reading the passage is ______.
A. the last incident was sad enough to make Mom weep
B. the child’s experience reminded Mom of that of her own
C. Mom could solve any problem except the one in the last paragraph D. in fact Mom suffered more in the process of the child’s growth 答案解析：答案为D。本题为推理题。由最后一段最后一句话 “Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.” 可知，我最后意识到妈妈在我的成长过程中比我承受的痛苦要多得多，但是她从不让我知道，故答案为D。
B
(part of Yanglan’s speech in Beijing’s bid for the 2008 Olympic games)
Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen. Good afternoon! Before I introduce our cultural programs, I want to tell you one
thing first about 2008. You're going to have a great time in Beijing.
Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends(传奇)in history. For example, back to Song Dynasty, about the 11th century, people started to play a game called Cuju, which is regarded as the origin of ancient football. The game was very popular and women were also participating.
Now, you will understand why our women football team is so good today. ??.
With a concept inspired by the famed Silk Road, our Torch Relay will break new ground, traveling from Olympia through some of the oldest civilizations known to man-Greek, Roman, Egyptian, Byzantine, Mesopotamian, Persian, Arabian, Indian and Chinese. Carrying the message "Share the Peace, Share the Olympics," the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest. In China, the flame will pass through Tibet, cross the Yangtze and Yellow Rivers, travel the Great Wall and visit Hong Kong, Macau, Taiwan and the 56 ethnic communities who make up our society. On its journey, the flame will be
seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay. I am afraid I can not present the whole picture of our cultural programs within such a short period of time. Before I end, let me share with you one story. Seven hundred years ago, amazed by his incredible edtions of a far away land of great beauty, people asked Marco Polo whether his stories about China were true. He answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.
Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators(观众) and the worldwide television audience alike. Come and join us. Thank you, Mr. President. Thank you all.
1. In Yanglan’s speech, she mentioned a game called Cuju, she implied that _____.
A. China is the original country of football.
B. China is a country with a long history in sports. C. People in China used to play football well. D. Women in China are good at football. 答案解析：答案为B。本题为细节推理题。杨澜提到的蹴鞠运动出现在第三段，它是作为例子来证明该段的主题句 “Many people are fascinated by China’s sport legends in history.” 中国的体育历史悠久，故答案为B。 2. Mt. Everest refers to _____.
A. a person who is known to many people in the world B. Himalayas
C. Mount Qomolangma D. the Olympic Torch 答案解析：答案为C。本题为细节题。由第四段 “? as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to
many of you as Mt. Everest.” 可知，Mt. Everest就是Mount Qomolangma，故答案为C。
3. Which of the following is not the promise that China will keep to the world?
A. Whoever takes part in the Beijing Olympic Games will have a great time in Beijing.
B. The flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.
C. The Olynpic Torch will reach the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma.
D. Marco Polo’s stories will await athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience.
答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节题，注意题干的 “not ”。由倒数第二段 “Ladies and gentlemen, I believe that Beijing will prove to be a land of wonders to athletes, spectators and the worldwide television audience alike.” 可知，北京对于运动员，观众和世界上所有电视台的观众将会充满了奇迹，故可推断A选项符合文意。由第四段最后一句话 “On its journey, the flame will be seen by and inspire more human beings than any previous relay.” 可知，B选项符合文意。由第四段 “the eternal flame will reach new heights as it crosses the Himalayas over the world's highest summit - Mount Qomolangma, which is known to many of you as Mt. Everest.” 可知，C选项符合文意。
由第五段 “He answered: What I have told you was not even half of what I saw. Actually, what we have shown you here today is only a fraction of Beijing that awaits you.”可知，马可波罗的回答是告诉人们，他所写的故事只是他看到的很少的一部分，实际上，中国还有很多等待世界的人们去了解，故D选项“马可波罗的故事将会等待运动员，观众和世界上所有电视台的观众”错误。故答案为D。
4. Marco Polo ‘s answer meant that ______
A. what he wrote was half better than what he saw. B. he was interested in half of what he had seen.
C. he was not able to describe the beauty of the faraway land.
D. there were so many true stories that he could only tell part of them. 答案解析：答案为D。本题为细节推理题。结合上题对D选项的分析可知，马可波罗的话是在强调中国的故事太多了，他只描述了很少的一部分，故答案为D。 干扰项最强的C选项 “他不能描述远方大陆的美”不是马可波罗所说的侧重点，故错误。
