As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. In this way he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and asked God for help. “Please God, I cant do anything more for my son. Im at the end of my rope. Im giving the whole thing up to you.”I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karls absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up（哽咽）and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son, but I just dont know what to do. Ive tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. Its out of my hands. ” For a moment there was silence on the other and of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up.Karls next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he was even on the list of the best students at school. In his fourth year, I attended a parent teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought Id play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. Thats when I knew I had to make you proud.”（1）Which of the following has the similar meaning as the underlined word “withdrawn” in the first paragraph?A . preferred to stay alone at homeB . refused to go to schoolC . refused to talk to othersD . began to dislike his mother（2）There was silence on the other end of the line because _ _.A . the caller was too moved to say anything to the motherB . the caller waited for the mother to finish speakingC . the caller didnt want the mother to continue her talkD . the caller was unable to help the mother（3）Who was it that telephoned Karls mother that day?A .

Nobody can control the weather. But if we read correctly the signs around us, we can tell what the more important changes in the weather will be. This way of telling what the weather will be like on the following day or two is called weather forecasting.For many centuries and in all countries, people have studied the weather and tried to make weather forecasting. Rings around the sun are a sign of coming rain. Many people feel their joints(关节) hurt in their bones if wet weather is coming. Some birds fly high if fine weather is coming, but they fly near the ground if rainy or stormy weather is on the way. It is probably because of the insects (昆虫) which they are hunting that they fly low. If you see a rainbow (彩虹) during rainy weather, this is a sign that the weather will become clear and fine. Such rainbows come in the evening. If the stars twinkle clearly at night, then fine weather will continue. If a fog appears in the morning just above a river, then the day will be warm. If the sunset is mostly red in color, then the following day will be fine. If a rainbow appears in the morning, rainy weather will probably come. Most of the above sayings have been made by the people who have used their eyes and brains to make weather forecasting.（1）Which is true about weather forecasting? A . Weather forecasting is a recorder about the weather on the following day or two.B . Weather forecasting is a way of telling what the weather will be like.C . Weather forecasting is a sign of coming rain.D . People can change the weather.（2）According to the passage, peoples joints ache _. A . is a sign of coming rainB . without any reasonC . because they are illD . because of the insects（3）The birds fly high and the stars twinkle clearly is a sign that the weather will_. A . be warmB . be rainyC . become clear and fineD . be cold（4）A rainbow is a _ of the weather. A . methodB . wayC . signD . road（5）We must _ to make weather forecasting. A . use our eyes and brainsB . study the weather hardC . read correctly the signsD . All of the above14. （8分）阅读理解Chip was in first grade when I arrived at his school as a counselor(辅导员). It was shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil (惹人厌的) boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered “evil”？ Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable.But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office.When the teacher came, I encouraged Chip to express his feelings. He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didnt think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didnt hate him at all and, actually, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chips behavior really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it.I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings. As I was speaking to him, his whole body cametorest_on_my_right_hand_next_to_his_heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, Im pleased to see his behavior improved through the rest of school years.A childs mind is clear and sensitive (敏感的). He receives whatever others say without protection. It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own special way. （1）From Paragraph 1,We can infer that _A . Chip was well-known at schoolB . Chip trusted the writer very muchC . the writer thought Chip must be a good studentD . the writer thought differently about Chip（2）What was the correct order in which these events happened?a. We called Chips teacher into my office b. Chips teacher gave him a big warm hugc. Chip was brave to express his hurt feelings. d. Chip threw a chair at his teacherA . a-c-b-dB . d-a-c-bC . d-a-b-cD . a-d-c-b（3）The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that Chip _A . accepted the writerB . wanted a rest C . was quite afraidD . felt a little nervous（4）What can we learn from the passage？A .
