课时分层作业(九).阅读理解atwo years ago, my friend terry and i were living in our dormitory at our university. with his birthday approaching, he came to me with an unusual request. instead of receiving presents and getting drunk (like most every other 21yearold would), he wanted to do some acts of kindness. i was struck with such an idea.he told me about a ted talk he had watched online, which had inspired him.our university is not located in the safest area in los angeles. in fact, its location is so unsafe that the school employs the second largest private legal militia (民兵队伍) in the united states to protect its students. they have to work around the clock, standing on street corners throughout the university keeping watch. its a thankless job as most students grow used to seeing officers all around and finally hardly even notice their presence.how could we show them our appreciation? we rented a truck and asked its driver to drive us around the place where we knew the officers would be and we poured them each a cup of hot chocolate.the truck driver was a bit hesitant (犹豫的) about our plan at first but after a while he was helping us spot officers and our lively spirits had spread to him as well. smiles and appreciative words from the officers impressed us a lot. soon they were talking about us over their radio and we were the ones being spotted and called over. finally, the hot chocolate seemed secondary (次要的) to their interest in meeting us, the two boys that went around with hot chocolate expecting to share some latenight laughter. it was amazing to see how a small simple act can lift everyones spirits.【语篇解读】本文语篇类型是记叙文，主题语境是学校生活。terry过21岁生日时没有像大多数同龄人那样收礼物，开派对。取而代之的是，他通过善举在给他人带来快乐的同时也让自己收获了快乐。1what inspired terry to celebrate his birthday in a different way?aan online video.ba radio speech.chis concern for other people.dother 21yearolds birthday celebrations.a细节理解题。根据第一段最后一句可知，terry生日善举的灵感来自于自己观看的一个ted talk的网络视频。2what do most students think of the officers?athey feel frightened to see the officers around.bthey seldom appreciate the officers hard work.cthey are not used to being watched by the officers.dthey dont think the officers perform their duty well.b推理判断题。根据第二段最后一句可知，许多学生对时刻坚守岗位，保证学生安全的民兵们已经习以为常，甚至很少注意到这些辛勤付出的人们。由此可推知，大多数学生很少对民兵的辛劳表示感谢。3how did the truck driver respond to the idea at first?ahe was struck with the idea.bhe was strongly against the idea.che was unwilling to accept the idea.dhe couldnt wait to join the two boys.c细节理解题。根据第三段第二句话可知，卡车司机起初对于他们的计划有些犹豫，过了一段时间之后才在两个人的感染之下积极加入了其中。4what would be the best title for the text?alatenight laughterba unique birthday requestcimportance of school safetydlovely officers around the schoolb主旨大意题。文章在第一段提出terry在自己21岁生日即将来临之际，有了一个特别的请求通过一些善举来庆祝自己的生日。下文围绕该主题展开，故最佳标题为b项。bradha is a little sweet girl, who is 7 years old.radha is a bit curious about everyone and everything she sees or hears.one morning, she told her mother that she wanted a new friend for herself.on hearing that, her mother said, “dear, you already have so many friends.” but radha exclaimed, “oh, mum, these friends you are talking about go to their house as the sun sets. i want a friend who stays with me.”the next morning radhas mother got a mango (芒果) plant from the market and called radha.radha saw her mother within the front yard with the mango plant. she curiously asked, “mum, what are you doing with the mango plant？” her mother told radha that she was making space for the new friend of radha.radha didnt understand what her mother wanted to say.observing radhas confused expression, her mother said, “my dear, you want a friend with whom you can stay all the time, but your friends also have a mother who would worry about them. so i have brought this mango plant.”radha understood what her mothers point was, but she didnt understand the role of the mango plant. she questioned, “mum, i understand but then again why do you have a mango plant？”her mother replied, “dear, this plant will be always with you as your friend.he will grow up beside you. share your thoughts and secrets with him. water him. this friend will not only provide you with shade but will give you fruits.”radha happily watered the mango plant and promised to cherish (爱护) it. this was radhas new friend.【语篇解读】本文语篇类型是记叙文，主题语境是个人生活。小女孩radha想有一个能一直陪着她的朋友，妈妈在院子里种下一棵芒果树，作为新朋友送给了radha。5why did radha want a new friend?aher old friends left her.bshe wanted to have more friends.cher old friends couldnt always be with her.dshe needed a friend to enjoy sunset together.c细节理解题。根据第二段中radha说的话“these friends you are talking about go to their house as the sun sets.i want a friend who stays with me”可知，radha想要一个能一直陪着她的朋友。6how did radha feel when her mother brought a mango plant home?adelighted.bpuzzled.cworried.dastonished.b细节理解题。根据第三段中的“she curiously asked，mum，what are you doing with the mango plant？”和第四段中的“observing radhas confused expression”可知，radha一开始并不知道妈妈种芒果树的用意，她看到妈妈在前院手里有一棵芒果树，感到很困惑。7why did radhas mother think a mango plant could be radhas friend?aradha could grow up with the plant and benefit from it.bradha liked mangoes and could get them from the plant.cradha didnt need to share anything with the mango plant.dradha couldnt get along with kids but could with the plant.a推理判断题。根据倒数第二段可知，radha的妈妈认为芒果树可以陪伴radha成长，这符合了radha对新朋友的要求(一直陪着她)，而且芒果树可以结果实，还可以提供庇荫处，对radha有好处。8what would be the best title for the text?aa mango plantba mothers lovecradhas new frienddradha:

decades and the families all knew one another so that the youngsters often bounced from home to home looking for friends and entertainment.even radcliffe and molly were regularly visited and, since all the parents knew and trusted each other, sometimes the youngsters would come in for a time.in the school holidays, molly and phil had even been known to take a couple of the children at a time to the local cinema to give their neighbors a break.the knocking was repeated.it was probably one of the kids. mr. radcliffe opened the door, looked down, and found a small boy of about 10, head down and face hidden, nose sniffling, obviously in trouble.“come in，” he gestured.“take a seat in the living room. ill be with you in a minute.i just need to get my glasses.” he sped up the stairs, ran into the bedroom, and picked up his glasses from the bedside cabinet.“now then，” mr. radcliffe asked as he walked into the living room. “philip, whats all this about? are you alright？”the boy seemed perfectly relaxed about the appellation (名称). “sorry, mr. radcliffe，” he sobbed.“my fathers just left home. hes not going to live with us anymore.mums crying.its made me cry. i dont think im going to see him again.”for mr. radcliffe, this news reminded him of lots of his own memories. when his father had walked out, his young life had crashed.and over the years, a series of figures had provided him with the sort of paternal support that he would have had from a father in residence: his favorite teacher who was always willing to talk to him in the schoolyard; his tutor when he eventually made it to a university; a line manager who built up his confidence and gave him his first promotion (升职)注意：1所续写短文的词数应为150左右；2应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语；3续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好；4续写完成后，请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语。paragraph
