Inside the car were two young girls on the passenger seat, but no driver. Paul stopped quickly, jumped in front of the sports car and tried to stop it, pushing against the front of the car. Another man who was standing nearby got into the car and put on the handbrake, saving the girls from injury.It was at this point that Paul noticed his own car rolling slowly down the hill and going too fast for him to stop it. It crashed into a bus at the bottom of the hill and was so badly damaged that it had to be pulled away to a garage.As if this was not bad enough, Paul now found he had no one to blame. He was so busy chasing his car that he didnt get the name of the driver of the sports car, who just came out of the supermarket and drove away without realizing what had happened.第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分40分)第一节(共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分)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。AMy father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and announced. “Get up. Youre going with me to cut grass.”The idea that my father actually thought I was big enough to help him in his business made me feel proud and excited. From sunup to sundown my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large yards in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was tired out, but I felt good. I had put in a hard days labor and had earned $6.One day my father found some leaves Id missed and pulled me aside. “Clear away these leaves，” he said firmly, “and dont make me have to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I value the importance of doing a job right the first time. It will never fail to impress the person you are working for.After two years my father told me and my brother that he felt we were old enough to do lawns(草坪) on our own. Every Saturday during our last two years of high school, we set out early in the morning with the same desire and drive we had gained while working under our father.Taking care of lawns was not exciting or highpaying, but that didnt matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and that whatever I was paid was more than I had before.A newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live on a fortyhouraweek minimum(最低的) pay. “My father has never worked just forty hours a week, and neither have I，” I replied. “If youre only working forty hours, you probably dont want to do any better than youre doing.”In every job Ive held from doing lawns to washing dishes, I have learned something that helped me in my next job. If you work hard enough, you can learn from any job you do.21Why did the writer feel proud and excited when asked to cut grass?A. Because he thought he was old enough to help his family.B. Because he thought he became important to his fathers business.C. Because he thought he was able to take care of large yards.D.

Giving no excuse for your mistakes.C. Doing a good job at the very beginning.D. Missing things can be found out.答案与解析C爸爸说：“把叶子弄干净，不要让我再做一遍。”也就是说父亲要求我一定要在开始就尽力把事情做好，不能敷衍。23When the writer finished high school, he might be _ years old.A. 14 B. 16C. 18 D. 20答案与解析C作者14岁的时候开始随父亲割草，两年后也就是16岁时开始修草坪，之后在他高中的最后两年，一直在做这件事情，所以高中毕业应该是18岁。24Which of the following is the most important thing that the writer has learned from his father?A. Watch clearly while doing a job.B. Set out early for physical work.C. Keep learning from any job you hold.D. Cut grass every Saturday.答案与解析C作者从父亲那里学到的就是：应该从自己所做的任何工作中学会新的有用的东西。从文章最后一段可得出这一结论。BBlair: Blair was the first to appear in movies in history.

Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They cant make their own choices.Kids in America would be very surprised to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults. When they are ten years old，kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy. By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school. Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”. Now the child makes almost all his/her decisions what to do after school; who are his/her friends, sometimes even when to come home at night. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his/her parents. Now he or she can come and go when he/she likes. The only rule is when they come home at night.Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work?Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices, and then slowly make bigger and more important choices. Before we know it we will become independent, confident and able to make our own decisions! And we will have a lot more fun!33The first paragraph tries to tell the readers _.A. Chinese kids dont know what to doB. Chinese kids always have many questionsC. Chinese kids believe in their teachers and parentsD. Chinese kids depend on adults very much答案与解析D本题要从文章的主题大意出发。第一段引出话题：中国孩子过于依赖父母。34At what age can an American kid make most decisions by himself or herself?A. Ten. B. Eleven.C. Twelve. D. Thirteen.答案与解析D可以从第二段四、五句“Now the child makes almost all his/her decisions”得出答案。35Which of the following is TRUE?A. Generally, American kids are more independent than their Chinese fellows.B. Chinese kids will more easily adapt themselves to society.C. American parents dont care for their children.D. A seventeen American young can do what he likes.答案与解析A文章通过中国孩子和美国孩子对比，说明美国孩子更具独立性。第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。_36_Home can be a great place for children to study. I
