| Our house was directly across the street from the clinic entrance of John Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore. We lived downstairs and rented the upstairs rooms to out-patients at the clinic. One summer evening as I was fixing supper, there was a knock at the door. I opened it to see a truly awful looking man-no taller than my eight-year-old son-I thought as I stared at the shriveled (皱缩的) body. But the shocking thing was his face-twisted from swelling. He told me he'd been hunting for a room since noon but with no success." I guess it's my face…, but my doctor says with a few more treatments …" I told him we would find him a bed. When I had finished the dishes, he told me he fished for a living to support his daughter, her five children, and her husband, who was hopelessly disabled from a back injury. He didn't tell it by way of complaint; in fact, every other sentence began with a thanks to God for a blessing. He was grateful that no pain accompanied his disease, which was apparently a form of skin cancer. The next morning before he left for his bus, he asked if he could come back and stay the next time he had a treatment. I told him he was welcome to come again. In the years he came to stay overnight with us, there was never a time that he did not bring us fish or oysters or vegetables from his garden. When I received these little gifts, I often thought of a comment our next-door neighbor made after he left that first morning." Did you keep that awful looking man last night? I turned him away. You can lose roomers by accommodating such people!" Maybe we did lose roomers once or twice. But oh! If only they could have known him, perhaps their illnesses would have been easier to bear. I know our family always will be grateful to have known him; from him we learned what it was to accept the bad without complaint and the good with gratitude. |

| A. I felt pity for his look B. he frightened my kid C. he was in need of something to eat D. he was looking for a place to stay overnight |
| 2. The next-door neighbor refused the man because _____. |
| A. he might lose roomers B. the man was poor C. he had no spare room D. the man didn't bring him gifts |
| 3. Which of the following is NOT true about the man? |
| A. He developed skin cancer. B. He fished to support a large family. C. God helped him to get over his disease. D. He didn't complain about his sufferings. |
| 4. What attitude did the man have toward life? |
| A. Grateful. B. Confident. C. Regretful. D. Passive. |
| 5. What might be the best title of the passage? |

| Few people ever took notice of Mr Jimmy Tan whenever he entered a room. He was a shy, quiet and simple man who preferred to keep to himself in public. On the other hand, Mr Thomas Kim, a fellow scientist, was a man everyone would notice on the streets. He wore bright outfits with huge flower prints, spoke with a booming voice, and his laughter could be heard from all corners of a room. In addition to the differences in their characters, Mr Kim and Mr Tan were also great rivals at work in the Institute of Future Science. On Christmas Eve, everyone left work early to celebrate the special occasion, except for Mr Tan and Mr Kim. They were in their laboratory analysing the results of their latest experiments. Mr Tan realized that something special was taking place in his experiment -the bacteria he had cultured were growing extremely quickly under high pressure and at a very low temperature. After noting down the findings in his notebook, he left the room to prepare for another round of tests. Shortly after, Mr Kim entered. "Hey Jimmy," Mr Kim called out,"do you have an extra copy of the laboratory booking form?" There was no reply, so Mr Kim looked through Mr Tan's things. He soon found Mr Tan's notebook and was horrified to see that Mr Tan had managed to make one of the most important discoveries in modern science. He then looked into the deep-freeze cupboard where a dish containing the bacteria was kept. He put them into his pocket and returned to his own laboratory. Mr Tan came back an hour later to find his notebook and the dish missing. He knew that Mr Kim had taken them and went to Mr Kirn's laboratory to find out. When he opened the door, he found Mr Kim lying on the floor motionless. His face was pale and his skin had turned black. The deadly bacteria had been handled improperly. He shook his head and left. |

| If you were to come up with a list of organizations whose failures had done the most damage to the American economy in recent years, you would probably have to start with the Wall Street firms that brought us the financial crisis. From there, you might move on to the automakers in Detroit. But I would suggest that the list should also include a less obvious nominee: public education. At its top level, the American system of higher education may be the best in the world. Yet in terms of its core mission-turning teenagers into educated college graduates-much of the system is failing. The United States does a good job enrolling (招生) teenagers in college, but only half of the students who enroll end up with a bachelor's degree. So identifying the causes of the college dropout crisis in the world's largest economy matters enormously, and a new book called "Crossing the Finish Line" tries to do precisely that. Its authors are economists William Bowen and Michael McPherson, and a doctoral candidate Matthew Chingos. The first problem they diagnose is something they call under-matching. It refers to students who choose not to attend the best college they can get into. They instead go to a less selective one, perhaps one that is closer to home or less expensive. About half of the low-income students with a grade-point average of at least 3.5 in high school and an SAT score of at least 1,200 do not attend the best college they could have. "I was really astonished by the degree to which well-qualified students from poor families under-matched," said Mr. Bowen. In fact, well-off students attend the colleges that do the best job of producing graduates. Meanwhile, lower-income students-even when they are better qualified-often go to colleges that excel (擅长) in producing drop-outs. "It's really a waste," Mr. Bowen said, "and a big problem for the country." As the authors point out, the only way to lift the college graduation rate significantly is to lift it among poor and working-class students. Instead, it appears to have fallen. What can be done? Money is clearly part of the answer. |
| 1. Which of the following would people first think of as a factor responsible for the American financial crisis according to this passage? |
| A. The government. B. The Wall Street firms. C. Public education. D. The Detroit automakers. |
| 2. What is a big problem with American higher education? |
| A. It is hard to enroll enough students into college. B. Many colleges are experiencing low rate of graduation. C. Many college students stay away from classes. D. It is hard for many colleges to get financial aid from the government. |
| 3. The title of the book"Crossing the Finish Line" probably means _______. |
| A. finishing college education B. going to college C. running to the end of the line D. working hard in college |
| 4. Why do some students under-match? |
| A. Because they can't get guidance. B. Because they face ambition crisis. C. Because they lack confidence. D. Because they have financial difficulty. |
| 5. The passage is mainly about _______. |
| A. America's financial crisis, its cause and influence B. relationship between American education and its economy C. low rate of American college graduation, its cause and its influence D. problems with secondary American education and possible solutions |
