The movie she was about to see was a musical version (版本）of a very successful book that had sold a million copies that year. As the woman was waiting for the movie to begin，she noticed that the theatre was very crowded but the two seats next to her were empty. Suddenly a large man carrying a big fur coat walked down the aisle (通道）and sat down, placing the fur coat on the seat next to her. When the lights went out, the fur coat began to move，and the woman realized it was not a coat but a large furry dog. He was sitting up in the seat, watching the movie screen with great interest. As soon as the movie started，the dog began to nod his head and beat his paws(爪）in perfect time to the music. When the movie was over，the woman turned to the man and said,“Excuse me，sir, but I’ve never seen such a well-behaved dog in a movie theatre before. Does he often go to the movies? ” “Oh，yes,” replied the man. “And he seemed to enjoy everything so much,” she said “It was just amazing!” “As a matter of fact, it surprised me, too，” said the maa “He hated the book!”‎ ‎1. What kind of movie was the woman about to see?‎ A. A movie about a clever dog. B. A movie about two film-goers.‎ C. A musical movie based on a book. D. A movie telling of a popular book. 2. What can we conclude from Para 4?‎ A. The man enjoyed the movie very much B. The dog made noise and disturbed others C The woman enjoyed the movie very much. D. The dog was bright enough to enjoy the movie. ‎ ‎3. What did the woman do when the movie was over?‎ A. She communicated with the man happily. B. She praised the man for bringing his dog.‎ C. She punished the dog for making noise. D. She complained about the dog angrily.‎ B There was once a jar(罐子) of fresh, clean water. Every drop of water in the jar felt immensely proud of being so clear and pure. Day after day they would congratulate each other on how clean and beautiful they were. That was, until one day when one of the drops got bored with his ultra-clean existence. He wanted to try what it was like being a dirty drop.‎ The other drops tried to talk him out of it, but he stuck to his guns. Hardly realizing, when the drop came back all dirty, he turned all the other drops in the jar into dirty drops, too.‎ They tried to get clean again, but couldn’t. They tried everything to shake off the dirtiness. Finally, much later, someone dipped the jar in a fountain, and only when a lot of clean water entered the jar, did the drops regain their old transparency and purity. Now they all know that if they all want to be nice clean drops, then each and every one of them has to stay clean, even if they find it difficult. That drop that succeeded in being dirty has realized that correcting the mistake of one single drop needs a lot of work for everyone else.‎ The same happens with us and our friends. If we want to live in a jar of clean water, each one of us will have to be a clean drop. None of us should try being the dirty drop who spoils everything. How about you? What are you? A clean drop?‎ ‎4. One of the drops made a change because he _______. A.got tired of his state of existing. B.was less beautiful than other drops. C.wanted to dirty others D.was too proud a drop ‎5.

A.pleased B.important C.sorry D.proud ‎7.What’s the writer’s purpose of writing this article?‎ A.To blame the drop for his foolish mistake.‎ B.To advise readers to be “a clean drop”.‎ C.To tell readers how to work together effectively.‎ D.To tell readers the way to be “a clean drop”.‎ C Winslow Homer was the second of the three sons of Henrietta Benson Homer and Charles Savage Homer. He was born in Boston, Massachusetts in 1836 and grew up in Cambridge, Massachusetts. His father was an importer of tools and other goods. His mother was a painter. Winslow got his interest in drawing and painting form his mother. But his father also supported his son’s interest. Once, on a business trip to London, Charles Winslow bought a set of drawing facsimiles (摹本) for his son to copy. Young Winslow used these to develop his early skill.‎ Winslow’s older brother Charles went to Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The family expected Winslow would go, too. But, at the time, Harvard didn’t teach art. So Winslow’s father found him a job as an assistant in the trade of making and preparing pictures for print media. At 19, Winslow learned the process of lithography (平版印刷术), which was the only formal training that Winslow ever received in art.‎ In 1859, Winslow Homer moved to New York City to work for Harper’s Weekly. Homer also started to paint seriously. He hoped to go to Europe to study painting. But, something cropped up that would change the direction of Winslow Homer’s artistic work. Harper’s Magazine would send him to draw pictures of the biggest event in American history since independence. It was the American Civil War between the Union and the rebel (反叛的) southern states.‎ Winslow Homer went to Washington, D. C., in 1861. He drew pictures of the campaign of Union Army Major General George B. McClellan the next year. His pictures of the war showed many ways that conflicts affect people.‎ ‎8.Who had the same interest as Winslow according to the text? A.His father. B.His mother. C.His teacher.

C.He couldn’t learn art in Harvard University D.His family had no money to send him there.‎ ‎10.The underlined phrase “cropped up” in the third paragraph is closest in meaning to “____”. A.appeared B.remained C.followed D.interrupted ‎11.How does the text develop? ‎ A.By comparison. B.In order of time.‎ C.By giving examples. D.By questioning the points.‎ D One ambitious high school student knew exactly how to show his family that he got accepted into his dream college—by surprising them on Christmas Day.‎ Barrington Lincoln, class president at Lutheran High School North in Ferguson, got accepted into Morehouse College in Atlanta back on Dec. 15. But for months, he knew he wanted to make the news known in a big way to his mother and aunt, Lincoln told ABC News. “I thought of the surprise in October,” he said, adding that once he got accepted he would purchase two school T-shirts from Morehouse’s online store On Christmas Day, in a now video on Twitter, Lincoln, 17, gifted his mom Lisa McDonald and his aunt Shirley Gray the T-shirts with the school’s name on it. When the two sisters opened the gifts, they had no idea what they meant.‎ In the video, Lincoln nudges (用肘轻推) his family, “You know what that means right? I got in!” While McDonald falls heavily on the couch in delight, Gray asks, “You’ve been holding out on us?”‎ ‎“I didn’t expect anything like that,” McDonald told ABC News. “It’s so satisfying to see him get the return on his studying.” “He always wanted to be the first in line and help everybody stay in line,” his mother added.‎ McDonald said it’s especially sweet since she had to work an extra job to afford his private school after his father, a former Marine, passed away in 2015. Lincoln was only 15.‎ ‎“All kids need to have quality education,” the mother added. “I am putting an investment (投资) in his future.”‎ ‎12.What did Lincoln choose two T-shirts for his mother and aunt mainly for?‎ A.To show he loves them forever.
