It was pouring outside. We all stood there 21 , some patiently, others annoyed 22 nature messed (弄糟)their hurried day. I got lost in the sound and sight of the heavens 23 away the dirt and dust of the world.
“Mom, let’s run through the rain,” a girl’s voice 24 me .
“No, honey. We’ll wait until it 25 down a bit,” Mom replied.
The young girl waited about another minute and 26 : “Mom, let’s run through the
rain .”
“We’ll get wet if we do,” Mom said.
“No , we won’t , Mom. That’s not what you said this morning,” the young girl said
as she 27 her Mom’s arm .
“This morning? 28 did I say we could run through the rain and not get wet?”
“Don’t you remember? When you were talking to Daddy about his cancer, you said ,” If God can get us through this , he can get us through 29 .”
The entire crowd turned 30 . Mom paused and thought for a moment about 31
she would say. Now some would laugh it off and scold her for being 32 . But then we heard,
“Honey, you are 33. Let’s run through the rain. If we get wet, maybe we just need washing,”
Mom said. Then 34 they ran.
We all stood 35 , smiling and laughing as they ran past the cars. Yes, they got wet. But they were 36 by a few who screamed and laughed like children all the 37 to their cars. Circumstances (境況)or people can take away your material possessions, and they can even take away your 38 . But no one can ever take away your precious 39 . So, don’t forget to make time and take the 40 to make memories every day! I hope you still take the time to run through the rain.

解析【小題1】B。外面下雨了,人們都在躲雨,等候雨停。下文母親的話“We’ll wait until...”也給出了提示。從后半句看,一些人耐心,一些人有些惱怒,所以不能說大家都在抱怨。
【小題2】C。別的人惱怒,當(dāng)然因為大自然的突然降雨打亂了他們正常的工作生活節(jié)奏。
【小題3】D。雨水沖刷走了世界上的塵土和臟物。
【小題4】A。catch me相當(dāng)于catch my attention,“引起了我的注意力”,因為此前我正沉醉于雨水帶來的感受中。并沒有讓我惱怒,也談不上給我留下了很深的印象。
【小題5】A。slow down指雨下得緩和一點,不能說stop a bit,停止不存在程度上的一點!拘☆}6】B。此句話和前面說的話一樣,所以是重復(fù)了一遍。
【小題7】A。小孩子想讓母親一起在雨中走,而母親又沒有答應(yīng),所以孩子要拉著母親的手往外走。
【小題8】C。從女兒的回答“When you were talking ...”可知母親是問小孩自己是什么時候說那話的。
【小題9】C。如果上帝能讓小孩的父親度過這一難關(guān),則能讓他們度過任何“難關(guān)”。
【小題10】B。still一動不動;silent沉默,不出聲。對于小孩的這一天真美好的愿望,大家顯然都事先沒有想到,所以都在沉默,并靜觀下面事情的發(fā)展。
【小題11】A。what引導(dǎo)賓語從句,what在句中充當(dāng)say的賓語,母親在考慮要和女兒怎么說。
【小題12】B。母親知道,孩子說出的話,在一些人看來肯定會是有點傻的,因為上帝是不存在的,這種愿望只是一種幻想。dishonest不誠實的,欺騙的。孩子的說法是一種美好愿望,當(dāng)然算不上是欺騙。
【小題13】A。母親不愿破壞孩子的童真,所以表示贊同“你是對的”,是肯定孩子的話就是自己講過的話,而不是說孩子聰明。
【小題14】A。run off跑開。此處強(qiáng)調(diào)off,故把這個詞提前。
【小題15】D。上文的silent以及下文的smiling,laughing可以看出母女的行為已引起了人們的關(guān)注,他們都在看著母女倆在雨中跑。
【小題16】A。從定語從句可知,母女的行為也感染了其他的人,又有幾個人也加入她們的行列,在雨中奔跑。follow跟著。
【小題17】B。all the way一路上。way和后面的to搭配。這幾個人一邊跑一邊又叫又笑,很興奮。
【小題18】C。母女的美好愿望是源于小孩的父親得癌癥了,所以說境況可以帶走人們的健康。
【小題19】B。從下文“… make memories every day!”可知,自己創(chuàng)造的美好記憶是不會被帶走的。
【小題20】B。take the chance / opportunities to do …抓住機(jī)會做某事,為固定搭配。該句的意思是“抓住創(chuàng)造美好記憶的機(jī)會

Nearly two decades has passed , I still remember my favourite professor, James Sehwartz. Whenever he smiles ,it’s as if you’d just been told the funniest joke on earth .Almost all his students are his friends, and almost all his students know his life story.
When James was a teenager ,his father 36 him to a fur factory where he worked . This was during the Great Depression. The 37 was to get James a job.
He entered the factory ,and immediately felt as if the 38 had closed in around him. The room was dark and hot , the windows covered with dust, and the 39 were packed tightly together ,running like trains. The fur hairs were flying , 40 a thickened air ,and the workers,
41 the pieces of fur together , were bent over their needles 42 the boss marched up and down the rows ,searching for them to go faster .James could hardly 43 . He stood next to his father ,frozen with fear ,hoping the boss wouldn’t 44 at him , too.
During lunch break ,his father took James to the boss and pushed him in front of him, 45 if there was any work for his son. But 46 there was barely enough 47 for the adult labours ,for no one would give it up once he takes a job.
Thus , for James, it was a 48 . He hated the place. He made a 49 that he kept to the end of his like: he would never do any work that brought 50 to someone else ,and he would never allow himself to 51 money off the seat of others.
“What will you do?” his mother , Eva , would ask him.
“I don’t know,” he 52 say. He ruled out law ,because he didn’t like 53 , and he ruled out medicine , because he couldn’t take the 54 of blood.
“What will you do?”
55 , my best professor I ever had became he thought it was the job not to hurt anybody.

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter(煉銅廠),and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest.One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area.Paul knocked him down.From then on, something happened inside him.
Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office.He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back.The answer from that big industry was “No”.
Paul then went to college to study the science of plants.Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds.It would be a waste of his life to try to do it.Everyone knew that, he was told.Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted.
Paul later got married and had some kids.But his dream would not die.And then one night he did what he could with what he had.As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote.Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting.
And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass.For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense.Slowly rabbits appeared.Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing.
Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has.It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child.

B.the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter

B.Because he was interested in planting trees since he was young.

Over the past 20 years, AIDS and war have claimed the parents of 2.4 million Ugandan children.When Alexis Hefley first visited the country,, in 1993, she saw the children's sorrow, but the former Texas banker also spotted "a world of possibility".She watched as they danced for tourists to earn money, and she had a thought: If people in America could see them perform, they'd support them too.
The children's passion and talent inspired Hefley to work with the kids at an orphanage(孤兒院)in Kampala, the capital city of Uganda, to organize a traveling dance troupe(團(tuán)).The goals: to give the problems in Uganda a human face, to raise awareness and to raise money.
The first tour touched down at six American cities in 1994.Today, the 22-member troupe, known as the Spirit of Uganda, travels across America every two years.The young performers bring their energy and joy to audiences across the U.S.a(chǎn)nd help support hundreds of Ugandan orphans back home.Among the young dancers, some earn scholarships to attend the U.S.colleges, and then return to their country to help rebuild it.
Photojournalist Douglas Menuez first photographed the troupe in 2006 -?a project that led to his new book, Transcendent Spirit, from which these images are drawn.At each performance, the dancers' faces show pure joy, quite an achievement given the hardships they've faced."They look to the future, not the past," explains Menuez."They embrace beauty and good in the world." As one dancer puts it, "People think we have lost our parents.We've had so many problems.But then they see us perform.They see our smiles.And they learn that life goes on."
What are the first two paragraphs mainly about?
A.How miserable Ugandan orphans' life is.
B.How the dance troupe was set up.
C.How the young dancers earned money.
D.How the orphans lost their parents.|
What do we learn about the Spirit of Uganda?
A.It was started by a journalist.
B.It travels across the U.S.a(chǎn)nnually.
C.It consists of two dozen performers.
D.Its dancers have chances to study in the U.S.
In the eyes of Menuez, the young performers are_____.
A.beautiful B.talented C.optimistic D.humorous
What might be the most suitable title for the passage?
A.Ugandan orphans turn tragedy into dance
B.Transcendent Spirit: A close look at Uganda
C.AIDS and war are claiming people's lives
D.Lots of people are helping Ugandan orphans
