1．A young man once went to town and bought himself a pair of trousers．When he got home，he went upstairs to his bedroom and put them on．He found that they were about two inches too long．
He went downstairs where his mother and two sisters were washing up the tea things in kitchen．"These new trousers are too long．"he said"They need shortening by two inches．Would one of you mind doing this for me？"His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything．
But as soon as his mother had finished washing up，she went quietly upstairs to her son's bedroom and shortened the trousers by two inches．She came downstairs without saying anything to her daughters．
Later on，after supper，the elder sister remembered her brother's trousers．She was a kind-hearted girl，so she went upstairs quietly without saying anything to anyone and shortened the trousers by two inches．
The younger sister went to the cinema，but when she came back，she also remembered what her brother had said．So she ran upstairs with her scissors，needle，and thread，and took two inches off the legs of the new trousers．
You can imagine the look on the young man's face when he put on the trousers the next morning．
63．His mother and two sisters said nothing because theyC．
A．didn't hear anything

66．When he put on the shortened trousers the next morning，the young man would beC．

C．unhappy
D．worried．

分析 文章講述了一個有趣的故事，年輕人買了條褲子，但回家試穿后發(fā)現(xiàn)太長，媽媽姐姐和妹妹在互相不知道的情況下各剪了2英寸，結(jié)果可想而知．

解答 63．C 細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文中句子His mother and sisters were busy and none of them said anything．他的媽媽姐姐和妹妹都在忙著沒有人回答，所以答案選C．
62．C 細節(jié)理解題，根據(jù)文章第二段，第三段和第四段可知，他的媽媽，姐姐和妹妹每個人都給他的那條褲子減去了兩英寸，所以加起來是六英寸，所以答案選C．
65．A 推理判斷題，通過讀文章可知，媽媽，姐姐和妹妹都給這條褲子截短了兩英寸，可以推斷出她們相互之間沒有告知，所以答案選A．
66．C 推理判斷題，通讀文章可知，褲子是被剪去了六寸，可想而知褲子相當短已經(jīng)不能穿了，由此可以推斷應該是不高興的，不可能是A高興或者B興奮，D焦急，所以答案選C不高興．

點評 閱讀理解題測試考生在閱讀基礎(chǔ)上的邏輯推理能力，要求考生根據(jù)文章所述事件的邏輯關(guān)系，對未說明的趨勢或結(jié)局作出合理的推斷；或根據(jù)作者所闡述的觀點理論，對文章未涉及的現(xiàn)象、事例給以解釋．考生首先要仔細閱讀短文，完整了解信息，準確把握作者觀點．

6．About ten years ago，a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street．He was going a bit too fast in his shiny，black，12cylinder Jaguar XKE，which was only two months old．
He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something．As his car passed，no child came out，but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP!-it hit the Jaguar's shiny black side door!SCREECH…!!!!Immediately Josh stopped the car，jumped out，seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car．He shouted at the kid，"What was that all about and who are you？Just what the heck are you doing？!""That's my new Jaguar，that brick you threw is gonna cost you a lot of money．Why did you throw it？"
"Please，mister，please…I'm sorry!I didn't know what else to do!"begged the youngster．"I threw the brick because no one else would stop!"tears were streaming down the boy's face as he pointed around the parked car．"It's my brother，mister，"he said．"He rolled off the curb （路沿） and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up．"Sobbing，the boy asked the businessman，"Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair？He's hurt and he's too heavy for me．"

It was a long walk back to the black，shining，12cylinder Jaguar XKE--a long and slow walk．Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar．He kept the dent （凹痕） to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention．Feel for the bricks of life coming you．

13．When I was fifteen，I announced to my English class that I was going to write and illustrate my own books．Half the students sneered．The rest nearly fell out of their chairs laughing．"Don't be silly，only geniuses can become writers，"the English teacher said，"And you are getting a D this semester．"I was so humiliated（羞辱） that I burst into tears．
That night I wrote a short sad poem about broken dreams and mailed it to the Capri's Weekly newspaper．To my astonishment，they published it and sent me two dollars．I was a published and paid writer．I showed it to my teacher and fellow students．They laughed．"Just plain dumb luck，"the teacher said．I tasted success．I'd sold the first thing I'd ever written．That was more than any of them had done and if it was just dumb luck，that was fine with me．
During the next two years I sold dozens of poems，letters，jokes and recipes．By the time I graduated from high school，with a C minus average，I had scrapbooks filled with my published work．I never mentioned my writing to my teachers，friends or my family again．They were dream killers and if people must choose between their friends and their dreams，they must always choose their dreams．
I had four children at the time，and the oldest was only four．While the children slept，I typed on my ancient typewriter．I wrote what I felt．It took nine months，just like a baby．
A month later Crying Wind，the title of my book，became a best seller，was translated into fifteen languages and Braille and sold worldwide．I appeared on TV talk shows．I traveled from New York to California and Canada on promotional tours．My first book also became required reading in native American schools in Canada．
People ask what college I attended，what degrees I had and what qualifications I have to be a writer．The answer is："None．"I just write．I'm not a genius．I'm not gifted and I don't write right．To all those who dream of writing，I'm shouting at you："Yes，you can．Yes，you can．Don't listen to them．"I don't write right but I've beaten the odds．Writing is easy，it's fun and anyone can do it．Of course，a little dumb luck doesn't hurt．
61．Why did many students laugh after hearing what the writer said？D
A．Because they didn't like him      
B．Because they wished he could be successful as a writer
C．Because their teacher laughed，too 
D．Because they felt it impossible for him to succeed
62．When the writer graduated from high school，B  
A．he had become a famous writer      
B．he had made progress in his studies．
C．his classmates and teachers changed their attitudes towards him
D．he decided he wouldn't become a writer
63．What prevented him telling others about his writing？C
A．The characters in his story
B．His teacher．
C．His early experience
D．His parents．
64．What can we infer from the passage？A
A．It is difficult for a person，who cares about what others say，to succeed．
B．It is important for a person to tell others what he wants to do．
C．It is necessary for a person，who wants to succeed，to take others'advice．
D．It is impossible for an ordinary person to be a writer in the future．
65．Which of the following is the best title？C
A．A famous writer
