A. Choose the best answer (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案)：(12分)
For years I wanted a flower garden. I'd spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew, and Marvin, and the twins, Alisa, and Alan, and then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight (拮据的), as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, "Do you see a money tree in the yard? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know."
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow (垂柳), because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on — and I couldn't believe what I saw.
There was a money tree in my yard!
I went to have a look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. There was also a note among them, "Thank you for your time, Mom. We love you."
Later, my children bought me tools, a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and take care of my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there
with me.
I live in a city where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out of my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes— every time. I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!

After 21 years of marriage, I started to go out with another woman. It was really my wife's idea. "I know that you love her," she said one day. "But I love you," I said. "I know, but you also love her."
The 80 woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother. She has been a widow(寡妇) for 19 years. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie.
"What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother thought that a late night call, or a surprise 81 is a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you," I answered. She thought about it for a moment and said, "I would like that very much."
That Friday after work, I drove over to 82 her up. When I arrived at her house, I found her waiting in the door with her coat on. She looked very old and thin. "I told my friends that I was going to go out with 83 son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car.
We went to a restaurant that was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I began to read the menu. Then I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there smiling at me. "It was I who used to read the menu when you were small," she said.
"Then it's time to relax and let me return the 84 , " I said.
During the dinner we had a nice conversation. We talked so much that we missed the movie. As we arrived at her house later, she said, "I'll go out with you again, but only if you let me invite you." I agreed.

C．Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的
词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)：(14分)
What would you choose, if you were sitting in front of a TV and there was a book right next to you? The answer will most p 86 be the TV! Young people would certainly choose the TV, but you will be surprised to find out that the older o 87 will at least hesitate about choosing it. Why is this? Are the books not as interesting as they used to be? Is it that the world has changed so much in recent years that our habits are not the same anymore?
Nowadays many people have no interest in literature(文学). This may be a possible explanation. Another r 88 might be the change of lifestyle (生活方式). We are more 1 89 to visit a club or a bar to relax ourselves after a long day's work, rather than read a book in the comfort of our own homes. People are more outgoing than they used to be. All the stress(压力)of work makes us want
a quick relaxing means. Perhaps, most of us do not have the patience to read anymore. It is much s
90 to turn on the TV and watch the latest news around the world than read 19th century literature! With all the TV programs, every one of us can find an interesting show or movie to watch. What's better than getting into b 91 with the remote control(遥控器) and falling asleep whenever you wish? You are the master of all the TV programs. The only disadvantage is that TV will never p 92 you
with all the facts that a book can do. TV is much more superficial (肤浅的)than books, even if it does get you relaxed in just a moment!
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)
A little girl was born into a very poor family. Her name was Wilma Rudolph. When she was four years old, she had pneumonia (肺炎) and it left her with a paralyzed (瘫痪的)left leg. She had to wear an iron leg brace (支架).
Her mother told her that she could do whatever she wanted to do.
So at the age of nine, the little girl took off the leg brace, and she tried her best to walk. In four years, she could walk for some steps, which was a medical wonder. Then this girl had a dream that she would like to be the world's greatest woman runner.
At the age of 13, she entered a race. She came last. She entered every race in high school, and in every race she came in last. Everyone asked her to stop! However, one day, she came next to last. And then there came a day when she won a race. From then on, she won every race that she entered.
She went to university, where she met a coach (教练). The coach trained her so well that she went to the Olympic Games.
There she was racing against the greatest woman runner of the day, a German girl named Jutta Heine. Nobody had ever beaten Jutta. But in the 100-meter race, she won. She beat Jutta again in the 200-meter race. She had two Olympic gold medals.
Finally came the 400-meter relay. It would be Wilma against Jutta once again. When the third runner handed the baton (接力棒)to Wilma, she was so excited that she dropped it, and Wilma saw Jutta running down the track. It was impossible that anybody could catch Jutta. But Wilma did just
that! Wilma had earned three Olympic gold medals.
93. What happened to Wilma Rudolph when she was four years old?
94. How did Wilma's mother encourage her daughter?
95. When did Wilma take off the leg brace and try to walk ?
96. Where did Wilma meet the coach who gave her a good training?
