　　In the late 1990s, a family visited the school where I taught deaf students. They said they would be moving here and planned to send their deaf daughter to my school as a first grader. They were upset that their child’s kindergarten teacher told them not to have high hopes for her. The teacher painted a bleak (暗淡的) picture for their little girl’s future. Standing behind them was Katherine, a beautiful five-year-old with long hair and dark eyes. The whole time her parents were there she didn’t make a sound or use sign language, even when her parents asked her to do so.

　　After a few weeks with Katherine, I discovered I was dealing with a very bright child. Although I was able to make her join in different learning activities, writing was always a struggle. I tried all kinds of methods to interest her in writing. Every time the pencils came out, she would refuse to write.

　　One day Katherine got off her bus and stood in front of the school crying. The teachers there did not know enough sign language to ask her what happened. Finally they led her into the office where they handed her a pen and a piece of paper. Katherine wrote: “PAC BAK.” Immediately the teachers realized she left her backpack on the bus. They called the bus driver back to school and soon Katherine got her backpack back.

　　That day Katherine discovered the power of the pen. From then on she fell in love with writing. She is a young woman now and has become an excellent writer, public speaker and student leader.

　　閱讀理解閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項。Alibaba started taking the lead in China by connecting big Chinese manufacturers with big buyers across the world. Its business-to-business site, Alibaba. com allowed business to buy almost everything. Alibaba’s advantage wasn’t hard to judge: size. Alibaba is just big, even by Chinese standards. Its market attracts 231 million active buyers, 8 million sellers, 11.3 billion orders a year—and Alibaba is iust the middleman. It encourages people to use its markets—not charging small sellers a percentage of the sale.

　　If you want a quick look into the influence of Alibaba on daily Chinese life, take my experience. I moved to Beijing a year ago and quickly got tired of visiting small stores across the crowded, polluted city of 20 million people in search of new electronics, bathroom furnishings, and anything else my wife wanted. “You’re looking for what exactly? Why not try it? ”my Chinese teacher asked me one day.

　　With that, my wonderful new relationship with Alibaba began.

　　Alibaba’s original business-to-business model now is second to consumer buying. Chinese retail buying makes up 80% of Alibaba’s profit, and leading that group is Taobao, with 800 million items for sale and the most unbelievable selection of things you’ll ever find. TMall. com is Alibaba’s other big site, where you can find brand name goods from Nike and Unilever near the lowest prices.

　　What I have a hard time explaining to friends and family back in the U. S. is how China has gone beyond traditional shopping—big—box retailers especially—in favor of online purchases on Taobao and a few other sites. In smaller towns than Beijing, where big retailers have not yet traveled, shopping online is shopping, and shopping is Taobao.

　　I have a list of some of my recent purchases on Taobao for a sense of how wide the marketplace is.

　　Almost everything arrived a day or two after ordering with free shipping. I’m not even a big buyer, because I need friends to help me search the Chinese—language site. When I was searching my purchase history on my Chinese teacher’s iPad, which helps me buy goods, I looked through with great difficulty about 10 of her purchases for every one of mine.

　　1. Alibaba’s advantage mainly lies in ________.

　　A. its low price

　　B. its not charging small sellers

　　C. its business-to-business service

　　D. its big size

　　2. In paragraph 1, by referring to “Alibaba” as “the middleman”, the author means _______.

　　A. Alibaba stands out as the best online site.

　　B. Alibaba is of middle size among all the online sites.

　　C. Alibaba acts as a bridge between the buyers and sellers.

　　D. Alibaba will continue to develop.

　　3. What can be inferred from the passage?

　　A. Taobao has no obvious advantage over other similar online sites.

　　B. Alibaba’s business-to-business service earns more money than retail.

　　C. The author’s Chinese teacher is also an online purchase lover.

　　D. TMall. com provides more profit than Taobao.

　　4. What is the passage mainly about?

　　A. How the author purchases online in China.

　　B. Alibaba influences people’s daily purchase i China.

　　C. Shopping online in China is TaoBao.

　　D. Shopping online goes beyond traditional shopping.

　　參考答案1—4、DCCB

　　閱讀理解。

　　When I was younger, bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Ian, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.

　　I named Ian after my uncle when I compared Ian’s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Ian at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle（哈哈笑）escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.

　　Even if Uncle Ian didn’t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Ian was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne（科隆香水）I used on him years ago makes him still smell “pretty”.

　　For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.

　　It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian. I know now that maturity（成熟）doesn’t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.

　　Ian has been with me since I was six years old holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.

　　1. Which of the following is NOT true according to the text?

　　A．Bedtime used to be the writer’s favourite part of the day because of the stuffed monkey.

　　BUncle Ian liked the stuffed monkey as much as the writer.

　　C. The writer used to carry the monkey with her wherever she went.

　　D. Years later the writer realized that it was not wrong to miss Monkey Ian.

　　答案解析：答案為B。本題為細節推理題。由第一段 “…bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. ..my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.”可知，A選項正確。由第四段首句 “For a long time, Ian went everywhere with me.” 可知，C選項正確。由倒數第二段首句 “It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Ian.” 可知，D選項正確。

　　結合第二段和該段的 “His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle escaped his lips. I guess he didn’t understand how important it was to me.” 可知，Uncle Ian 對于我用他的名字為我的玩具猴命名感到迷惑，但是他并不知道玩具猴對我有多重要，因此可推斷，Uncle Ian并不是和作者一樣喜歡玩具猴。B選項不符合文意，故選擇B。

　　2. The writer loved Monkey Ian deeply because __________.

　　A. he could understand her

　　B. he was a fashionable monkey

　　C. he could talk with her

　　D. he was her most honest listener

　　答案解析：答案為D。本題為細節推理題。由第四段 “He was my best friend, and I told him everything.” 可以推斷，玩具猴是作者最忠實的聽眾。故答案為D。

　　3. We can learn from the text that the writer believes ________.

　　A. keeping stuffed animals is babyish

　　B. maturity doesn’t mean growing up and taking on more responsibility

　　C. one should keep to his childhood and act young sometimes even when he has grown up

　　D. human beings should be kind to animals

　　答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由倒數第二段可知，作者幾年后才意識到想念玩具Ian 是沒有錯的。他懂得了成熟不僅僅意味著長大和承擔責任，成熟也意味著懷念童年并有時候表現得稚氣也無妨。故可推斷，C選項符合文意。A選項與文意相反；B選項沒有了 “only” ，意思就與原文相反；D選項未提及。

　　4. We can infer from the text that _________.

　　A. the writer is still a teenager

　　B. the writer is now a middle-aged woman

　　C. Monkey Ian got angry for being left alone

　　D．Uncle Ian has a monkey-like face“When I was younger…” 和最后一段 “…and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself.” 可以推斷，作者繼續在成長并開始懂得自己，現在應該是個青少年。故答案為A。

　　閱讀理解-----B

　　“The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium（千年）, was made up of three parts——“The Fellowship of the Ring”, “Two Towers”, and “The Return of the King”. Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.

　　John Ronald Reuel Tolkien was born in South Africa in 1892. His parents died when he was a child. Living in England with his aunt, Tolkien and his cousins made up play languages, a hobby that led to Tolkien’s becoming skilled in Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.

　　After graduating from Oxford, Tolkien served in World War I. In 1917, while recovering from trench fever, he began composing the mythology for The Rings. As a professor of Anglo-Saxon in 1930s at Oxford, Tolkien was part of an informal discussion group called the Inklings, which included several writers. The group was soon listening to chapters of Tolkien’s imaginative work “The Hobbit”.

　　Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural（鄉村的）class. Hobbits live in hillside holes. One of them, Bilbo Baggins, looks for treasures with a group of dwarves（侏儒）. On the way, he meets the twisted, pitiful creature Gollum, from whom he sees a golden ring that makes the holder invisible.

　　One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft（草稿）. The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son. The boy earned a shilling for reporting back that the adventure was exciting, and “The Hobbit” was published in 1937.

　　It sold so well that Unwin asked for a continuation. Over a dozen years later, in 1954, Tolkien produced “The Lord of the Rings”, a series of books so creative that they hold readers—new and old —after their publication.

　　1. What can we learn from the text?

　　A. “The Lord of the Rings” didn’t sell well in the last millennium.

　　B. People know better about Tolkien himself than about his works.

　　C. Tolkien was quite familiar with Old English.

　　D. Tolkien knew very well about different kinds of local languages in Africa.

　　答案解析：答案為C。本題為推理題。由第一段首句 ““The Lord of the Rings”, one of the best sellers in the new millennium...”可知，A選項錯誤。由第一段后面的 “Millions upon millions of people have read it in over 25 different languages, but fewer know about the author and the history of the composition of the creative materwork.” 可知，B選項錯誤。由第二段內容可知，Tolkien 出生于南非，幼時喪父母，與aunt 住在英格蘭，和表兄妹們一起玩耍的經歷養成了對Welsh, Greek, Gothic, Old Norse and Anglo-Saxon.的熱愛，也使得Tolkien能夠熟練掌握它們。故可推斷，Tolkien在英格蘭長大，熟悉的不會是非洲本土語言，應該是英語，文章提到那些語言自然就是古英語了。故答案C正確。

　　2. What can we learn about “Hobbit” that Tolkien created in his works?

　　A. Hobbit was a race living in English downtown areas.

　　B. Hobbit was a local people who were very tall and strong.

　　C. Hobbit was a social group of people who lived in old castles.

　　D. Hobbit was a group of people who were mostly dwarves.

　　答案解析：答案為D。本題為細節推理題。由文章第四段 “Hobbit was a name Tolkien created for a local people that could best be described as half-sized members of the English rural class. Hobbits live in hillside holes.” 可知，A、B、C均不正確。由“half-sized”可推斷，Hobbit 中的大多數人是侏儒。故答案為D。

　　3. Which of the following helped most in making “The Hobbit” published?

　　A. One of Tolkien’s students. B. Stanley Unwin’s son.

　　C. Allen & Unwin.

　　D. Bilbo Baggins.

　　答案解析：答案為B。本題為推理題。盡管文章倒數第二段首句提到 “One of Tolkien’s students persuaded her employer, publisher Allen & Unwin, to look at a draft .” 但是后文又提到 “ The chairman of the firm, Stanley Unwin, thought that the best judge for a children’s book would be his ten-year-old son…” 故可以推斷，對于The Hobbit的出版起著決定作用的應該是Stanley Unwin’s son。故答案為B。

　　4. What is mainly discussed in the text?

　　A. “The Lord of the Rings” and its writer.
