Part 3  Reading and Writing（第三部分  读写）

Ⅵ. Reading comprehension（阅读理解）（本大题共25题，共50分）

A、Choose the best answer（根据以下内容，选择最恰当的答案）（l2分）

Around the world, kids have different childhoods, but many of them share one thing—the fairy tales of Danish author Hans Christian Andersen (1805—1875).

As a great fairy tale writer, Andersen’s stories are popular among generations of children. This April 2 is the 210th anniversary (周年) of his birth. We can still find that his writings are as popular now as they were then.

Andersen experienced poverty (贫穷) and difficulties in his youth. But these all inspired him to write wonderful stories. “I have a lot of material.” said Andersen, according to one of his biographies (自传). “It often seems to me as if every little flower is talking to me.” In his fairy tales, children not only see a fancy world but also learn difficult themes of life in simple ways.

In The Little Mermaid, to stay with the prince, the little mermaid asks the witch to change her tail into human legs. Although she can walk and dance beautifully on her human legs, she is in great pain when she does so. Sometimes we need to make sacrifices (牺牲) for something or someone we love. That’s what Andersen wanted to explain to us.

His other stories also have strong social messages. In The Ugly Duckling, the character everyone makes fun of has inner (内在的) beauty. Andersen wanted to teach children not to judge people by their appearances and that ordinary people can become heroes. The Emperor’s New Clothes is about two tailors (裁缝) who trick a very proud emperor into walking around with no clothes on. It showed Andersen’s anger against the authority (权威) of his time.

Today, Andersen’s fairy tales have been translated into more than 100 languages. To honor the great writer, every April 2, on Andersen’s birthday, people celebrate International Children’s Book Day.

39．Hans Christian Andersen died at he age of about ________.

A．60 B．70 C．80 D．210

A．Anderson was 210 years old B．Anderson died on April 2, 210 years ago

C．Anderson was born on April 2, 210 years ago D．April 2 was Anderson’s anniversary

41．What inspired Anderson to write wonderful stories is ________.

A．a lot of material he had B．every little flower around him

C．his poverty and difficulties in his youth D．a fancy world around him

42．In The Little Mermaid, Anderson tied to tel us ________.

A．we shouldn’t judge people by their appearances

B．we should show anger against the authority

C．inner beauty is also very important

D．we need to make sacrifices for something or someone we love

43．________ of his stories have been mentioned in this passage.

A．TWO B．Three C．Four D．Five

44．Which of the following is Not True?

We met often in the hallway when we were coming or going. I always spoke, but the only answer I ever got was a hello from the 4-year-old girl.

I usually go out for breakfast and one day when I returned, they were just coming from their apartment and the little girl was holding the door open for the others. I remained in the car doing unnecessary things ____46____ I wasn’t in a hurry. The parents were telling her to get in the car immediately. I looked up and saw the little girl was still holding the door open, waiting for me.

As a handicapped (有残疾的) man, I can’t hurry at anything, but I hurried as much as I could and thanked her. She was smiling like a lovely angle. I was so touched by her small act of ____47____. That afternoon I was shopping at the K-mart and I saw a white bear. I thought of the girl and said to myself, “I believe she would like it”, so I bought it.

The next day there was a knock on the door and it was the little girl and her father. She was so proud of her bear and thanked me like I had never been thanked before. The mother and father both thanked me.

Now when we meet in the hall we all speak, and in a friendly manner I might add. As time passes, I don’t hear that shouting as often. ____48____, hardly at all.

Last night we had about four inches of snow. I looked out at my car and wondered how I was going to keep my doctor’s appointment.

When I opened the outside door, there was my car with all the snow cleaned. I can’t express how I felt at that moment. The man next door was the only person I knew in the whole building, so when I saw him the next day, I asked him if he was the good man that cleaned my snow. He said ____49____.

D、Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答问题）（12分）

You are going to read a letter in a local newspaper.

Dear sir/madam,

My name is Lucy Wong. I am a ten-year-old girl from Thailand. For the past year, I have been helping my parents manage a motel (a small hotel) in Clifton, California. We have made it our home, from the towels we carefully fold each and every day to the customers we call family. I usually help the customers to check in and out at the front desk.

But the motel is not ours. It belongs to a man named Mr. Sung, who is unkind and selfish. My parents think that working for Mr. Sung is the only way, but I don’t think so. At night, I dreamed of a better life. I dreamed of owning a motel one day. Sadly, we have no money to buy a motel of our own. What are the chances of actually winning a motel?

Well, maybe all our hopes and dreams don’t have to disappear. I am writing to you because something has happened here at Maple Motel. Mr. Sung is selling the motel! He is selling it at a low price because he’s tired of running a motel. We’re eager to buy it from him and we are looking for investors (投资人). If you would like to invest, please let me know. You can contact me at my telephone number — 6253908 any time.

It wouldn’t be a donation. You would be one of the owners in the future. Whenever a customer comes to stay at the motel, part of the money would go to you. You might be asking yourself, “Why should I invest in a motel from a 10-year-old?” You can trust me because our dreams will come true for three reasons:

1. I know what I’m doing. I know every corner of this motel like the back of my hand because I’ve lived and worked here for almost a year.

2. I love what I’m doing. I’m very proud of my work. Every day, I check people in at the front desk. The customers like me because I treat them like family members.

3. No investment is too small. Even if all you have are some extra pennies and nickels lying around, we’ll take them. I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours truly Lucy Wong
