三、阅读理解
A
Mom was a teacher most of her life. When she wasn’t in the classroom, she was educating her children or grandchildren: correcting our grammar; starting us on collections of butterflies, flowers or rocks; or inspiring a discussion on her most re cent “Book of the Month Club” topic. Mom made learning fun.
It was sad for my three brothers and me to see her ailing in her later years. At eighty-five, she suffered a stroke and she went steadily downhill after that.
Two days before she died, my brothers and I met at her nursing home and took her for a short ride in a wheelchair. While we waited for the staff to lift her limp body back into bed, Mom fell asleep. Not wanting to wake her, we moved to the far end of the room and spoke softly.
After several minutes our conversation was interrupted by a muffled sound coming from across the room. We stopped talking and looked at Mom. Her eyes were closed, but she was clearly trying to communicate with us. We went to her side.
“Whirr,” she said weakly.
“Where?” I asked. “Mom, is there something you want?” “Whirr,” she repeated a bit stronger. My brothers and I looked at each other and shook our heads sadly.
Mom opened her eyes, sighed, and with all the energy she could muster said, “Not was, say were!”
It suddenly occurred to us that Mom was correcting brother Jim’s last sentence. “If it was up to me…”
Jim leaned down and kissed her cheek. “Thanks, Mom,” he whispered. We smiled at each other and once again shook our heads…this time in awe of a remarkable teacher.
56. When Mom said, “Whirr”, what did she really want to do?
A.She wanted to tell her sons her will.
B.She wanted to have something to eat before she died.
C.She wanted to correct the mistakes Jim made while talking.
D.She wanted to teach her sons more because she was dying.
57. Which of the following statements is NOT right?
A.Mom was a good teacher and never wanted to stop her teaching.
B.Mom was always making her teaching fun.
C.Mom didn’t forget her teaching until she died.
D.Mom was no longer a teacher when she was at home.
58. What does the writer think of his mother?
A.He loved her but was tired of his mother’s teaching at home.
B.His mother should forget her teaching and enjoyed the rest of her life.
C.His mother was great because she devoted herself to teaching.
D.His mother was an excellent teacher before she was retired.
59. Which of the following is the best title of this passage?
A. Once a teacher, always…
B. Mom’s will
C. A teacher’s life
D. A teacher’s devotion
B
From the outer of New York to the heart of Singapore, nature is everywhere you’re not looking in some of Earth’s most crowded big cities. Outdoor adventure is often just a few stops on the train—or a short drive- away from the annoying crowds. Here are a few favorites to get you going:
Mount Hollywood Trail（林间小道，乡间小路）Los Angeles
It’s not a skyscraper or a Ferris wheel, and there’s no expensive restaurant up top. But if you want an absolutely unforgettable, no-admission-charged, 360-degree view of the entire Los Angeles region, it’s yours. All you have to do is walk a little. One of the preferred exercise routes, the Mount Hollywood Trail, is easily accessed from the parking lot of the famous Griffith Observatory; you see what you get at the end of this steep 1.5-mile trail, which winds its way through the Griffith Park wilds up to the mountain’s 1,640-foot peak.
Bronx River, New York
It may not be on your Top 10 list of things to do when you finally get to the Big Apple, but exploring the almost-secret river that flows through one of New York’s most mysterious boroughs (自治市) is an unforgettable experience. The Bronx River Alliance, a non-profit group that has worked tirelessly to bring the much-abused river back to life , operates cycling and canoeing trips along the river, from the rugged Hunts Point section down near the harbor on up through the borough.
Southern Islands, Singapore
Believe it or not, tightly packed Singapore does have plenty of open space left. There are actual trails right in the middle of everything, if you know where to look. But to really get away from it all, the Southern Islands, a small group of little green dots just off the city state’s southern shoreline, are just the thing.
Lee Valley, London
This East London river valley changed last summer, when anyone near a television got an eyeful of Olympic Park, built directly in the middle of the valley. Inside the park, beautifully landscaped sections quickly became a favorite relaxation spot for games goers. At present, you’ll find miles of walking paths worth exploring. Start at the Waltham Cross train and follow the signposted walking route southbound, guiding you past important historic industrial areas, through interesting city neighborhoods, past the western side of Olympic Park and on to the Thames.
60．If someone wants to enjoy an unforgettable experience for free , he can go to ______.
A. Mount Hollywood Trail and Bronx River
B. Mount Hollywood Trail and Southern Islands
C. Lee Valley and Southern Islands
D. Bronx River and Lee Valley
61. The writer of the passage wants to ________.
A. inform the readers that nature exists in crowded big cities
B. appeal to more people to outdoor adventure
C. recommend several historical spots to readers
D. present various approaches to outdoor adventure
62. We know from the passage ________.
A. it’s difficult to find a proper trail in packed Singapore
B. the Thames is not far away from the East London river valley
C. The Bronx River Alliance has succeeded in running the river
D. you may have trouble reaching the Mount Hollywood Trail。
