Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
When I walked into the house after school, I found my dad at home. “What are you doing home already？” I asked casually.
“Andrew, I was laid off today，” he answered quietly.
I was sure he was joking. “No, you weren’t. Why are you really home？”
Then I noticed his expression and realized he was telling the truth. My father has always been a hard worker and prided himself on his career. My father’s unemployment created many chan ges in o ur lives. He was home all day, which meant my bed had to be made, my room cleaned up, and my homework done right after school.
I would come home every day to find him at the computer searching for jobs. I began to notice how down he seemed, and how losing his job had affected his self－esteem(自尊心), though he tried to be optimistic. He asked my brother and me to spend less money. I gave up my allowance, which even though it wasn’t much, felt like the right thing to do. I also found a part－time job.
After several difficult months of searching, my dad decided to go in a totally different direction. He explained that he never wanted to be laid off again, so he
was going to start his own business. Day by day, I watched him build it, and I admired how much time and energy he devoted to it.
One evening I asked if he needed help.
“Only if it doesn’t interfere with school，” he said, which sounded like a yes.
I showed up at his office the next afternoon, and most afternoons after that for two months. I always knew he was a hard worker, but watching him in action really influenced me. Although this was one of the worst experiences for our family, it taught me a lot about dealing with adversity. Now I know that through creative problem－solving, I can always find Plan B, ask for help, and take risks.
1．When the father was laid off, he ______.
A. was angry with his boss
B. didn’t care about it at all
C. couldn’t accept the fact easily
D. was as happy as usual
2．We can know from the passage that ______.
A. it was not easy for the father to find a new job
B. the father asked his sons to give up their allowance to support the family
C. the father found a good job when he changed his direction
D. Andrew and his brother helped his father set up his business
3．The underlined word “adversity” in the passage probably means ______.
A. poor feelings
B. bad situations
C. low spirits
D. old ideas
4．What has Andrew learned from his father?
A. The spirit of creative problem－solving.
B. The skills of surfing the Internet.
C. The experience of saving money.
D. The rich business skills.
B
Four－Year－Old Boy Becomes Queen Elizabeth’s Pen Pal
London, England: A four－year－old boy has become pen pals with Britain’s Queen Elizabeth. Tom Stancombe started exchanging letters with the queen after he set free a balloon, carrying his name and address, at a school party and it landed in the grounds of Windsor Castle.
The queen spotted the balloon and asked her personal assistant, Angela Kelly, to write a letter on her behalf.
She wrote: “The queen was delighted to find that your balloon had traveled all the way to the gardens at Windsor Castle.”
Tom, who proudly put the letter on his wall, wrote back to say that his great, great grandfather, the artist Petrus Johannes Arundzen, had been commissioned (受委托) to copy Dutch masters on display at Windsor Castle and Buckingham Palace.
Angela at once replied that she would contact the Royal Collection to find out what had happened to the art works. She kept her word and two weeks later wrote to Tom to tell him what had happened to the etchings,_explaining they now form part of the print collection in the Print Library.
Angela then asked a fa vor of Tom, writing：“Would you be able to ask your mummy and daddy for me if they know anything more about your great, great grandfather? Royal Collection would love to know more about him.”
Along with his parents, Tom wrote back to fill in all the gaps about Petrus Johannes Arundzen.
Although Tom’s parents don’t think there will be any more letters exchanged
between the pair, they were touched that she had taken time to contact them.
Tom’s father said：“I don’t expect we’ll get another one, but I think it’s incredible they bothered replying at all.”
5．What is Windsor Castle?
A. A playing ground.
B. The queen’s home.
C. A po st office.
D. A rose garden.
6．What does the underlined word “etchings ” mean?

C. Postcards.
D. Cartoons.
7．How does the queen know the boy?
A. By chance occurrence.
B. By exchanging letters.
C. By letting go the balloon.
D. By the queen’s secretary.
8．Tom’s par ents ______.
A. feel very much shocked about the letters and refuse to answer them
B. try to deal with the friendship naturally but refuse to do anything about it
