A
When I was growing up，I dreamed about becoming a cowgirl，a spy or a great actress．Not a dentist，like my father，or a homemaker，like my mother-certainly not a writer，although I always loved to read．I didn't know anything abut writers，even though I loved to make up stories inside my head．
I made up stories while I bounced （反弹） a ball against the side of our house．I made up stories playing with paper dolls．And I made them up while I practiced the piano，by pretending to give piano lessons．I always had an active imagination．But I never wrote down any of my stories．
When I grew up，my need for story telling didn't go away．So when my own two children started pre-school I began to write and I've been writing ever since!My characters live inside my head for a long time before I actually start to write a book about them．Then，they become so real to me that I talk about them at the dinner table as if they were real．Some people consider this weird．But my family understand．
Many of my books are set in New Jersey because that's where I was born and raised．I lived there until my kids finished elementary school．Then we moved to New Mexico，the setting for Tiger Eyes．I also spent two years in Connecticut，where Just As Long As We're Together and Here's To You，Rachel Robinson are set．I don't think I could set a book in a place without knowing it really well．
Now I live in New York City with my husband，George Cooper．Between us we have three grown children and one grandchild．Our lives are busy，sometimes too much so，but never dull．And yes，I'm still writing． 1．When the writer was young she___．
A．heard many love stories B．enjoyed writing story books
C．never thought of becoming a writer D．could make up stories of different people 2．The writer always had a gift for___．
A．playing at home alone B．creating all kinds of stories C．attracting other's attention D．solving problems by herself 3. The writer started to write when___．
A．she began primary school B．her first grandchild was born
C．her children started preschool D．she got married to George Cooper 4 ．What can be conclude from the text？___
A．It is never too late to learn． B．Well begun is half done． C．Actions speak louder than words．D．Interest is the best teacher．
B
A funny thing happened on the way to the communications revolution：we stopped talking to one another．

I was walking in the park with a friend recently, and his cell phone rang, interrupting our conversation．There we were walking and talking on a beautiful sunny day and…I became invisible, absent from the conversation．
The telephone used to connect you to the absent．Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent．Why is it that the more connected we get, the more
disconnected I feel? Every advance in communications technology is a tragedy to the closeness of human interaction(互动)．With email and instant messaging over the internet, we can now communicate without seeing or talking to one another．With voice mail, you can conduct entire conversations without ever reaching anyone．If my mom has a question, I just leave the answer on her machine．
As almost every contact we can imagine between human beings gets
automated(自动化), the alienation index(疏远指数)goes up．You can't even call a person to get the phone number of another person any more．Directory assistance is almost always fully automated．
I am not against modern technology．I own a cell phone, an ATM card, a voice mail system, and an email account．Giving them up isn't wise…they're a great help to us．It's some of their possible consequences that make me feel uneasy．
More and more．I find myself hiding behind e-mail to do a job meant for
conversation．Or being relieved that voice mail picked up because I didn't really have time to talk．The industry devoted to helping me keep in touch is making me lonelier…or at least facilitating my antisocial instincts．
So I've put myself on technology restriction：no instant messaging with people who live near me, no cell phoning in the presence of friends, no letting the voice mail pick up when I'm at home．
5.Which of the following would be the best title of the passage? A．The Advance of Communications Technology B．The Consequences of modern Technology C．The Story of Communications Revolution D .The Automation of Modern Communications
6.The sentence “Now it makes people sitting next to you feel absent” means that _________．
A．the people sitting beside you have to go away to receive a phone call B. you can hardly get in touch with the people sitting beside you
C.modern technology makes it hard for people to have a face to face talk D.people can now go to work without going to the office now
7.The writer feels that the use of modern communications is _________． A．satisfying B．encouraging C．disappointing D．embarrassing 8.The passage implies that _________．
A．modern technology is bridging the people B．modern technology is separating the people C．modern technology is developing too fast
D．modern technology is interrupting our communication

C
When was the last time someone unexpectedly did something nice for you ? Not someone you knew, but a total stranger? It’s happened to me a few times, but two instances really stand out.
A few years ago, I was dining in a restaurant with a friend who kept talking about himself, completely not aware of the fact that I was sitting there in misery. It wasn’t my friend’s talks that made me suffer. I was recovering from a broken heart, and just sitting down to dinner reminded me of my last relationship. I could have burst into tears right there at the table.
When we picked up the check, the waitress said, “ Your meal was already paid for .” My friend and I didn’t have a clue how it happened. Then I remembered a man I saw out of the corner of my eye. He was dressed in mostly white, sat down at the bar, had a beer, and stayed for maybe ten minutes. The waitress said, “Yes, the gentleman in white paid for you .” It felt like an angel was saying “I see you, honey. It’s going to be okay.”
Just last year, I was running a half-marathon. With just 0. 1 miles to go, I was out of gas. Runners call it “hitting the wall”. I thought I couldn’t move another inch. Out of nowhere, a stranger came up to me and said, “What’s your name, sweetie?
Jennifer? Okay, Jennifer, let’s go! Come on! It’s just around the corner! You can do it!” And he ran with me until I picked up my pace. I found him at the finish line to thank him for the encouragement only to learn he wasn’t even supposed to be in the race that day.
I still shake my head when I think of these momentary angels that came to me at my point of need. Do you have any experiences like these? 9. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A．The kindness of strangers B．Valuable friendship .
C．Two special experiences D．Helping others is worthwhile 10. Why did the author suffer when dining out with a friend? A．Because she didn’t like the dishes. B．Because she quarreled with her friend
C．Because her friend only talked about himself. D．Because she was sad for her last relationship.
11.The underlined expression in the passage means “______”. A．being hurt by the wall B．winning the game C．taking a deep breath D．running out of energy
D
One morning there was a message on the answering machine from an angry customer, complaining about her lack of service－service that had been stopped because her check had bounced(拒付).
As it is my job to handle payments received, it was my duty to collect the check. As is often the case when a check bounces, I soon found that this woman's phone number was no longer in service. A check of the caller I.D. told us the call had come from the manager's office of the apartment building where our customer

lived. We left a message with the manager and within the hour our call was returned.
I told our customer gently, sympathetically that a check she had written had been returned for lack of funds. I told her I always want to let people know about returned checks quickly because the huge fees the banks charge can cause more checks to be returned and more fees to be charged. I told her I hoped she could contact the bank and get things straightened out before her problems got worse. I also told her, gently once more, that I hated to add to her problems but she would owe us a fee for the returned check because the bank charges us a fee when a check is returned.
She told me she had difficulties because of being on a fixed income and being in poor health. She told me she had no children but had raised several that belonged to her husband and after living with him thirty years he had left her for another woman.
Finally, after she had promised to pay, I told her not only do I care about her situation, but she taught me something. When a person is angry, there may be
reasons you don't know about. If you don't react with anger, you may learn what the real problem is and may in some way be able to help, if only with a little sympathy. 12. Why did the author try to call the woman?
A. To apologize to her. B. To solve her problem. C. To charge for the fees. D. To provide better service. 13. How did the author get in touch with the woman?
A. By calling her manager. B. By leaving a message. C. By finding her apartment. D. By contacting the bank. 14. What can we learn from the passage?
A. The woman had to pay the check as well as a fee for the returned check. B. The woman's husband passed away and left several children for her.
C. The author will help the woman overcome her difficulties by paying for her.
D. The check written by the woman had been returned because of the wrong number. 15. What is the purpose of this text?
A. To solve a problem. B. To present a research result. C. To conclude a lesson. D. To tell an interesting story. 第二节 （共5小题，每小题3分满分15分）
