21、阅读理解

Nine years ago, after Leo had died, people said to me. "I never knew he was your stepfather." You see, I never called him that. At first, he was no one special in my life. Then he became my friend. In time, I felt he was also my father.

Leo married my mother when I was eleven. Two years later we moved into a house in a new suburban development, where we put down roots. At first our lawn was just a mud with wild grass, but Leo saw bright possibilities. "We'll plant trees there to give us shade as well as some flowers," he said. And just these little touches made our house different from all the others. More important, a real family was forming. Leo was becoming a full-time parent, and I was learning what it meant to have a father.

Weekday mornings when the weather was bad, Leo often drove me to school. Having a father drop you off may have been something my classmates took for granted, but I always thought it was wonderful. Saturday mornings, we went to the hardware (计算机硬件) shop, then stepped into the five-and-ten, buying a sports magazine or something else. Some people might think that doing shopping together is nothing special, but I, who had ever before spent my childhood watching other families do their everyday activities, experienced them now with extreme delight. Looking back, I realized that Leo gave me what I needed most—the experience of doing ordinary things together as a family.

Soon after we moved to the suburbs, one of our new neighbors introduced herself to me. She had already met my mother and Leo. "You know," she said, "you look just like your father." I knew she was just making a conversation--but even so... "Thank you", I said. Why tell her anything different?

【1】The writer's purpose in writing this passage is _______.

A．to show his pride to have a good stepfather

B．to show how interesting a person Leo was

C．to remind us of our parents

D．to explain why they moved to the suburbs

【2】The phrase “put down roots”in the second paragraph means

A．farmed    B．contacted

C．settled D．accommodated

【3】In the writer's opinion, _______.

A．it is not easy to live with a stepfather

B．not all the stepfathers are as good as Leo

C．the husband and wife must think more about their children before they divorce

D．in step families the love and friendship are extremely precious

【4】The last sentence “Why tell her anything different?”means that   .

A．he should have told the truth

B．he wouldn't tell her the truth

C．he wanted to tell her something that had nothing to do with Leo

D．he wanted to keep silence whenever he met the neighbors

23、   Growing up in an Italian-American household was, for me, very special. My mother, Gina, an immigrant from Calabria, Italy, held on to so many of her family traditions that sometimes, regardless of the fact that we were living in the United States, our home felt like an annex(附件) of Italy.

To this day, my mother may use some English terms and expressions from time to time, but our conversations are, for the most part, in her mother tongue. And most of those conversations revolve around food.

While eating breakfast, we often discuss what we will make for lunch and right after lunch, we begin to figure out what’s on the menu for dinner. For us, food— Italian food— is an important part of our lives. We live to eat, not eat to live. The food my mother prepared for me and my sister as children is the same food my grandmother created in her small farm kitchen high up in the mountains.

So, it surprised no one that I dedicated the past four years of my life to a new cookbook, Heirloom Kitchen, which records and preserves the recipes of our ancestors, my family’s, and those of the families of many of my friends. These heritage recipes link us to our pasts.

One of my family’s heritage dishes I was sure to learn when I was young is my mother’s arancini di riso (Italian rice balls). Arancini, in Italian, means little oranges. After you roll some leftover rice into a small ball, place a piece of mozzarella(白干酪) in the center, and then bread and fry it, you get a golden ball.

My mother has always been respectful of ingredients. She grew up on a farm where the “fruits” of their labour directly transferred into the food on the table, and wasting any ingredient was unacceptable. One of the greatest lessons my mother taught me in the kitchen is to cook what I have on hand, and to never let anything go to waste, because a bit of creativity can create a new, delicious dish.

So, when I take a perfect little arancino out of the hot oil and crack it open, I am immediately transported back to my childhood: I was a little girl getting off the bus and running through the back door to the smell of last night’s rice transformed into crunchy goodness. This small snack symbolizes so many things in my life: my mother’s waste-not philosophy, her ability to take a few simple ingredients and transform them, and finally, the way she carried her mother’s recipes to the US in her mind and heart so she could, years later, teach me about my heritage through food.

【1】What do we know about the author’s family?

A.The author’s mother lives in Calabria now.

B.Most of the family lead an American-style life.

C.The author’s mother only speaks to her in Italian.

D.The author’s mother often talks about food with her.

【2】Arancini di riso probably earned the name from_____.

A.the taste

B.the appearance

C.a famous chef

D.the author’s mother

【3】What can we learn from the text?

A.Compared to Italian food, the author prefers American food.

B.The family’s dinner is based on the recipes of their ancestors.

C.Making good use of ingredients is the family’s cooking tradition.

D.The author’s mother doesn’t make preparations before meals.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

A.The heritage the author has learned through food.

B.How to make delicious Italian rise balls.

D.The introduction of the author’s new book.

24、Directions: Complete the following passage by using the sentences given below. Each sentence can be used only once. Note that there are two more sentences than you need.

Although many companies offer tuition reimbursement (偿付), most companies reimburse employees only for classes that are relevant to their positions. 【1】. A company that reimburses employees for all college credit course-whether job related or not-offers a service not only to the employees but to the entire company.

One good reason for giving employees unconditional tuition reimbursement is that it shows the company's dedication to its employees. In today's economy, where job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable, it is important for a company to demonstrate to its employees that it cares. The best way to do this is to make investments in them.

【2】 A company that puts out funds to pay for the education of its employees will get its money back by having employees stay with the company longer. It will reduce employ turnover (流动), because even employees who don't take advantage of tuition reimbursement program will be more loyal to their company, just knowing that their company cares enough to pay their education.

Although companies do indeed run the risk of losing money on employees who go on to another job in a different company as soon as they get their degree, more often than not, the employees will stay with the company. 【3】 Thus, even if the employee leaves upon graduating, throughout those years, the employer will have a more sophisticated, more intelligent, and therefore more valuable and productive employee. And, if the employee stays, that education will doubly benefit the company. Not only is the employee more educated, but now that employee can be promoted so the company doesn't have to fill a high-level vacancy from the outside. 【4】.

Though unconditional tuition reimbursement requires a significant investment on the employer's part, it is perhaps one of the wisest investments a company can make.

A.In thin way, companies will have more productive employees.

B.In today's economy, job security is a thing of the past and employees feel more and more expendable.

C.In return, this dedication to the betterment of employees will create greater loyalty.

D.This is indeed a very limiting policy.

E.Even if employees do leave, it generally takes several years to complete any degree program.

F.Open positions can be assigned to who already knew he company well

25、   I grew up seeing handwritten notes as the best expression of love. My mom often _______ small, square papers on the bed for me to find. Sometimes it was just a smiley_________, other times she simply wrote the words “love you” ___________ordinary ballpoint pen, but it was more than enough.

26、阅读下面短文，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

There have always been ups and downs in life. When I was doing my first job after graduation from college, which I neither liked nor was good at, I was at the lowest point of my life. For along time, I was depressed by my job. I often had to work overtime and barely made a living of the little money I received. After continuing this cycle of work and sleep for years. I finally decided to give up and take up the job of a joker. I don’t know why I chose to be a joker. The pay was exceptionally low, but at least the work was less. I wondered how this job would be any different from the last job. They were both meaningless.

Once I was called in a hospital to put up a show for the little kids who were admitted for weeks in this hospital. I had no mood to go but I had to pay my bills. Upon reaching the hospital I dressed as a joker putting on my ridiculously colorful costume in the restroom. Then I was on my way to the stage when I saw a kid staring at me with glittery eyes. He was a beautiful kid with no hair, a pair of dimples and a smile that you would never forget. He was in a wheelchair with an TV on his arm. The nurse who was attending him told me that he was suffering from cancer. I could feel the pain he was going through. The smile which came on his face upon seeing me made me realize that I must give this brave young fighter some comfort even if a little, during his sufferings. The nurse took the kid to his seat with other little patients.

I walked up to the stage and began to throw my tick.
