五、阅读理解
A
I was just in France to visit my grandmother who is very dear to me.I don’t get to cross the Atlantic very often,and she’s now 96 years old,so every time I visit her,the two of us are very aware that it might be the last time we see each other.
Last year,I did a series of short video interviews about her life.I asked her what it was like growing up with her father in the 1910s,and living alone with two young children.I asked her about her greatest memories,and her favorite books,foods,etc.I
learned a lot of amazing new things about her I had never known before.These were very intimate conversations,which made me better know her.
This year,I did not really have questions and I only had a great desire to make her know how much I loved her.I cooked for her and read her stories.I gave her a foot massage (按摩),which was her first ever!
Before leaving,I was looking for a way to leave something meaningful behind besides the memory of our time together.Therefore,I wrote her five different love notes,and hid them in different places where I knew she would eventually find them.
I left really joyously knowing that these cards would surely cheer her up after I left.She called me as I was traveling back to Paris to catch my plane back to the US and said,“I found your cards!By the time I discovered the last one,I was laughing out
loud!Thank you so much,my sweetheart!” I smiled to myself,knowing she still had two more to go!It was Sunday,so my guess was that she had not checked her mailbox and had not yet driven her car!
1.The underlined word “intimate” in Paragraph 2 probably means “”.
A.close
B.inspiring
C.impressive

Making choices is necessary,but not always easy.Many of our expressions tell about this difficulty.One of these expressions is“Hobson’s choice”.It is often used to describe a difficult choice.But that is not what it really means.Its real meaning is to have no choice at all.The Hobson in the expression was Thomas Hobson.Mr.Hobson owned many horses in Cambridge.Mr.Hobson often rented his horses to the students at Cambridge University.But he didn’t really trust them to take good care of the horses.So,he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses.They
could take the horse that was nearest the stable door.Or,they could not take any horse at all.Thus,a Hobson’s choice was really no choice.
Another expression for having no real choice is“between a rock and a hard place”.It is often used to describe a difficult situation with few choices—none of them is good.For example,your boss may ask you to work late.But you have plans to go to a movie with your friends.If you refuse to work,your boss may get angry.But if you do not go to the movies with your friends,they may get angry.So what do you do?You are caught “between a rock and a hard place”.
Another expression—“between the devil and the deep blue sea”—also gives you a choice between two equally dangerous things.Its meaning seems clear.You can choose the devil and his burning fires of hell.Or,you can choose to drown in the sea.Some experts in lexicology say the expression comes from the days of wooden ships.The “devil” is a word for a seam between two pieces of wood along the waterline of a ship.If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak (漏),then a sailor must fix it.The sailor ordered to make the repairs was in a dangerous situation.He was hung over the side of the ship,working “between the devil and the deep blue sea”.
There is still another expression that describes a situation with only bad choices—“on the horns of a dilemma”.The dictionary says a dilemma is a situation in which you must make a decision between two equally balanced choices.When your dilemma has horns (角),making a choice becomes impossible.When you are “on the horns of a dilemma”,no matter which horn you choose,something bad will happen.
5.We could learn from Mr.Hobson’s story that he .
A.wanted to teach the students a lesson
B.liked to make things difficult for the students
C.didn’t permit the students to ride his best horses
D.didn’t know the students were good at riding horses
“So,he had a rule that prevented the students from riding his best horses.”可知选C项。
6.The underlined word“seam” in Paragraph 3 refers to .
A.the line where two pieces of wood meet
B.the piece of wood which begins to leak
C.the side of the ship which was being hung over
D.the sailor ordered to repair the broken side of the ship
“If the seam or crack between the two pieces of wood begins to leak(漏)”可知,seam的近义词是crack,因此选A项。
7.If you are caught between the devil and the deep blue sea,you .
A.have no choice but to wait and see
B.cannot escape being punished by the devil
C.will fall into the deep blue sea sooner or later
D.find it extremely difficult to make a choice
,“the devil”和“the deep blue sea”是两个同样危险的选择,因此很难做出选择。故选D项。
8.Which of the following expressions is different from others?
A.Between the devil and the deep blue sea.
B.Hobson’s choice.
C.Between a rock and a hard place.
D.On the horns of a dilemma.
项是唯一的选择;而A、C、D指的是两个同样糟糕的选择。

Imagine a life without arms or legs!You can’t hold anything in your arms.You can’t walk anywhere with your feet.1Would you smile at yourself in the mirror like Nick Vujicic,the 29-year-old Australian?
Nick was born without limbs,so life was not easy for him.At school many students played jokes on him because he looks different from everyone else.2However,he faced that bravely.He learned to type and write with two toes at the age of six,and he could even surf and play golf.3And he decided on what to do later in his life—to encourage others to work hard for their dreams.
4He travels to many countries and gives speeches about his story against difficulties.“Living life fully is about looking at what you have,not what you don’t have.” he said.5“I tell people to keep on getting up when they fall and to always love themselves,” he said.“If I can encourage just one person,then my job in this life is done.”
A.How would you last a day like that?

Last weekend we went mountain climbing.Even the heavy rain in the morning could not prevent us go.Setting off very early,we went along an extreme narrow road,all in high spirits.On both sides of the road was green fields and some farm house.We can hear the sound of the rain and their footsteps with our laughter.At noon we reached the top of the mountain.That surprised us most there was the beauty of scenes.After have a
short rest there and sharing with the food we had brought,we started going down.It rained even harder.We were wet to the skin,and we still sang and laughed happily.
