四．阅读理解（本大题共7小题，每小题2分，共14分）

A

Hello, everyone! I have read over fifteen interesting stories in the past few weeks. And many of them tell me what to do with the problems in my daily life. Now I’m sharing some of them with you.

Story 1

A boy once found a jar(罐子) full of nuts in his mother’s kitchen and he put his hand in to help himself get as many as he could. When he tried to take his hand out of the jar, however, he found that the opening was too narrow(狭窄的) for his clenched fist(握紧的拳头) to pass through.

“What shall I do?’’ he cried. “My hand will be stuck in this jar.” Just then his mother came in. “Really,” she said, “there’s nothing to make such a fuss(大惊小怪) about. Try taking half as many nuts as you have in your hand, and you’ll find your hand will come out of the jar quite easily.”

Story 2

A woman walks up to a little old man, rocking(摇动) in a chair on his porch(走廊).  

“I couldn’t help noticing how happy you look,” she says. “What’s your secret for a long, happy life?”

“I smoke three packs a day, drink a case of whiskey(威士忌) a week, and never exercise.”[来]

“Wow, that’s amazing,” says the woman, “How old are you?”

“Twenty-six.”                            

41.What does the boy put his hand in the jar to do?

  A. To break the jar.              B. To get as many nuts as he could for himself.

C. To help his mother get nuts.    D. To hide his hand for fun.

42.What does Story 1 tell us?

  A. To leave the hand in the jar.      

B. To make such a fuss when in trouble.

C. To give up a few things when necessary.      

D. Not to get any nuts because of problems.

43..In fact, what can help you live a long and happy life?

  A. Smoking three packs a day.    B. Drinking a case of whiskey a week.[来 C. Eating fatty foods.                            D. Exercising as often as possible.

B

"BANG!" the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and I on the other side.
     We were both in great anger. "Never set foot in this house again!" stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.

The street lights were shining, causing rather sad-feeling. I wandered aimlessly.

 A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.
     But now … I don't know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. He always put his opinions and codes of behavior on me. Whenever I do something wrong, he never admits it. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.
     I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived ,I saw that the light was still on.
     I thought to myself: "Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me?"

 In fact, it was nothing.Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps. I can't stand his outrageous(蛮横的)words: "I can't throw you away, let alone these old stamps!"
     All the lights were off except father's.

 Dad was always like this. Maybe he didn't know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. After an argument he has the habit of creeping up in my sleep and then tucking(用……盖住) me underneath the covers.
     This was how he always was．He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.
     The light was still on. "Am I wrong?" I whispered, maybe…ith the key in hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Love is second to none.

44. Which is the best order of the following according to what happened in the passage.
a. I opened the door and entered the house.
b. Sadly I ran out into the street.
c. I reached the place where I lived and saw my house still brightly lit.
d. I thought of my father's kindness towards me.
e. I walked about in the street without any aim.
A. b, e, d, c, a            B. b, e, c, d, a          C. b, e, a, c, d             D. b, e, c, a, d
45. What made the writer think of his childhood ?
A. The sight of the street lights.
B. The sight of the empty street.
C. The sight of a father with a child in his arms. 
D. The sight of light in his own house.
46. Why do you think the father often shouts at his son?
A. perhaps the father is getting older and older.
B. perhaps the son has already grown up.
C. perhaps they never agree with each other.
D. perhaps the father has got used to doing that.
47.What conclusion can you come to after reading the passage?
A. The father treats his son in an unfair way.
B. The father is actually kind to his son.
C. The father is neither kind nor cruel to his son.
D. The father is always finding fault with his son.

May 31，2017

    Jaden is a six-year-old boy. He experienced the unlucky things of life twice. First he lost his dad when he was four and his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep last month. Jaden's heart was broken. His parents' death hit him a lot.

But things always go towards a good side. A few weeks later. Jaden told his aunt that he was tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. He'd like to see more smiles around him. He hoped that the number of the smiles could reach 100.

    Then he asked his aunt to buy him some little toys and take him to the center of the city. "I′m trying to make people smile," said Jaden. At first, he was not sure if the passengers would like to receive his toys. In fact, he was always successful and got close to his dream step by step, because no one could refuse such a little boy's giving and expecting.

    "I'm keeping a count of 100 smiles," said Jaden. When asked if he could make it, he answered, "I think I can."
