Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
Anthony Horowitz was miserable as a child. He was, as he puts it, “not very bright” and couldn't win the attention of his very wealthy parents, who preferred his “clever” older brother. At age 8, Horowitz was sent away to an abusive (虐待的) boarding school in his native England, even though he screamed and pleaded with his parents year after year not to send him.
“The thought was, ‘It'll be good for him’，” Horowitz recalls.
It was not. Horowitz did badly in his studies, had few friends and was bullied (欺负) for five years. “My teachers couldn't have had a lower opinion of me, ” he said. “I wasn't even smart enough to rebel (反抗). The one thing I remember from the very earliest age was this desire to write. When I was 10 years old, I remembered asking my parents to get me a typewriter for my birthday because I wanted to be a writer.”
Now, at 55, Horowitz is one of the world's most successful children's book authors. His Alex Rider series has sold more than 5 million copies, and the eighth book featuring the young spy, Crocodile Tears, came out this month.
The Alex Rider books tell the adventures of 14­year­old Alex Rider, an agent for the British intelligence agency MI6.
Horowitz said he didn't try to write for kids; it just came o ut that way. “I have a feeling that's to do with purity and simplicity. I give as little information as is necessary to describe the room, the character in the room, and get on with the action, ” he said.
That style has also made Horowitz a successful writer of television shows for adults in Britain because, he says, writing books for kids is a lot like writing television for grown­ups. In both cases, it's all about entertaining people with a good story.
Now, Horowitz couldn't be happier with his l ife. He sums up his success: “…you can be anything you want to be if you just believe in yourself. I do believe it completely.”
31．The text is mainly about________.
A．Horowitz's popular book—Alex Rider
B．Horowitz's miserable childhood
C．Horowitz, a successful children's writer

32．In his childhood, Anthony Horowitz________.
A．was more intelligent than his brother
B．was paid more attention by his parents
C．couldn't understand why he was sent to the boarding school
D．led a miserable life because of poverty
33．In the boarding school, Horowitz's teachers________.
A．showed great concern for him
B．often abused and bullied him
C．taught him how to write stories
D．thought little of his ability
34．What advice does Horowitz have for readers?
A．Confidence is the key to success.
B．Hardship teaches valuable lessons.
C．Interest is the best teacher.
D．Diligence is the parent of success.
B
She was born to wealth and power in an era when money and politics were left to the men. Later, as The Washington Post's publisher, Katharine Graham became one of America's most powerful women.
Despite a privileged background, Katharine had to deal, while growing up, with the high demands her mother placed on her children. Katharine's love of journalism, which she shared with her father, led to her career after college at The Washington Post, the newspaper her father bought in 1933. At the Post, Katharine met Phil Graham, a young, charming lawyer who became her husband. When, in 1945, Katharine's father chose Phil over her to take over his struggling paper, Katharine didn't object and stayed at home as a wife and mother of four.
While Phil's successful efforts to restore the Post to prominence made the Grahams popular members of the Washington social scene, Katharine privately suffered tremendous pain from her husband's increasingly abusive behavior and wild mood swings caused by severe depression. When Phil committed suicide (自杀), the 46­year­old Katharine found herself thrown into a new jo b,
that of newspaper publisher. But determined to save the family paper for her children, Katharine rose to the challenge of running the Post, attending meetings in every department, working endlessly to prove herself to her critics, and becoming the toast of Washington.
In 1971, Katharine ordered the Post to print a copy of the Pentagon Papers, the top­secret documents revealing the truth about the United States' involvement in the Vietnam War. What's more, her courageous decision and support for her journalists prepared the Post to break the most important political story in modern history: Watergate (水门事件), one of the greatest scandals (丑闻) in American political history. Katharine managed to keep control over the most chaotic of situations when it was reported, all the time insisting the news stories be accurate and fair. Watergate made The Washington Post an internationally known paper and Katharine was considered as the most powerful woman in America.
35．Katharine Graham was born in a time when ______.
A．women were not given the chance to receive education
B．women were not considered as intelligent as men
C．women were not permitted to achieve their goals

36．When her husband was chosen to take charge of the newspaper, Katharine Graham ________.
A．was strongly against the idea
B．was not happy to be rejected
C．was willing to take her share of responsibility
D．didn't believe her husband would do a good job
37．Which can be considered the most important event in the history of The Washington Post?
A．Reporting Watergate scandal.
B．Printing the Pentagon Papers.
C．Reporting the Vietnam War.
D．Phil restoring the Post.
38．Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A．Ups and downs of The Washington Post
B．Katharine Graham's family life and career
C．Katharine Graham: from housewife to successfulpublisher
