Yellow Dress
By Janet Lee
Mary had a yellow dress
Bought from the department store.
It looked as beautiful as the moon,
And as bright as the sun.
Mary wore all the time
The yellow dress I felt so right.
Every day from day to night
I saw her in the dress so bright.
“Buy me a yellow dress,”
I cried to Mom and Dad,
“As beautiful and bright
As the dress the girl living near has!”
I cried and cried and cried,
Until they said with sad eyes,
“We need food for your baby sister,
And clothes for your coming brother.”
Since then I’ve learned
Mary’s yellow dress
Is better to dream of
Than to ask for.
( ) 44. From the poem, we know that Mary and the writer may be ____________.
A. classmates B. relatives C. neighbours D. sisters
( ) 45. Why does the writer say, “Every day from day to night / I saw her in the dress so bright”?
A. The writer lived with Mary. B. The dress had sun shapes on it.
C. The writer liked the dress very much. D. The dress was Mary’s school uniform.
( ) 46. What did the writer’s parents mean by their words?
A. They did not like the yellow dress. B. They did not have money for a dress.
C. They already had a dress for her baby sister.
D. They would ask Mary where to buy the yellow dress.
C
It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father’s lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague (模糊的) figure to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else.
When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was still busy with his work. This hurt me most. At that moment, I thought my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all.
But things seemed different. I would give a speech at my high school graduation ceremony (毕业典礼). My father, once again, couldn’t attend it because he had a business trip in a place outside the city. “Don’t come. I will be nervous if I see you.” I told him.
I remember my speech was a success. After the ceremony, I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a man sitting in a corne r of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. “Well done.” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears.
Later, I knew that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He sat in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech.
For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was clearly not true. At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive (感知) the world with our hearts and minds. Life is full of love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it.
( ) 47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation.
B. The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony.
C. The writer’s father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school.
D. The writer’s father went to parent-teacher meetings when she was in primary school.
( ) 48. The writer rushed to her father with tears running down her face because _________.
A. she gave a speech successfully
B. the graduation ceremony was over
C. she was so nervous that she couldn't help crying
D. she was touched to find her father cared about her
( ) 49. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to (指代) ?
A. That my father was always doin g projects.
B. That my father was a cold-blooded man.
C. That my father sat in the corner of the hall.
D. That my father’s eyes were filled with tears.
( ) 50. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. My busy father B. Life is full of love
C. Seeing is not believing D. A wonderful speech
D

九.任务型阅读 (每题1分 共5分)
What do you do in a situation like this? You’re having dinner with friends at a nice restaurant. You’re having a great time when a phone rings at the table next to you. A man takes out his phone and starts talking loudly about problems he’s having with his girlfriend. He talks for almost ten minutes! This happens all the time-on buses, in restaurants, everywhere!
Many people find cell phones useful in their daily lives. But we’ve all sat next to someone talking too loudly on a cell phone. You may want to tell the loudmouth to end the conversation, but let the management take care of those noisy customers. You can only control your own behavior. Here are a few rules:
Off means off! Follow the rules of restaurants and other public places. If a sign says “turn off cell phones”, don’t use your phone. If you are allowed, speak softly for a short time and try to move away from other people.
Lights off, phone off! Never make calls in a theater or at the movies.
Pay attention! Talking on a cell phone while driving is dangerous. And watch where you’re going when you’re walking down the streets and talking on the phone.
As more people use cell phones, things are only going to get worse. So, the next time you’re getting ready to make a call, stop and consider the people around you.
86. How many rules are mentioned in the passage to control our behavior?
__________________________________________________________________
87. What should we do if we’re allowed to use cell phones in public places?
_________________________________________________________________
88. Where shouldn’t we make calls according to the passage?
_________________________________________________________________
89. When should we watch where we’re going?
_________________________________________________________________
90. What other situation do you think we shouldn’t make calls?

“Where are you going?” Chinese often ask this question when two friends meet in the street. But if you ask Americans the same question, they will be surprised because they think that “go¬ing to some place” is their own business. In their eyes, only a po¬liceman will ask such a question in the street.
The same thing will happen to Americans if you ask them “Have you had your meal?” . In fact, to us Chinese, such questions do not mean anything but a greeting.
In America, when two friends meet in the street, they will say “Hello!” or “How are you?”. They never ask “Where are you going” or “Have you had your meal”. If two friends meet at the mealtime and one asks the other “Have you had your meal?”, that means he wants to invite his friend to have a meal with him. It's quite different from what it means in China.
The examples above tell us that people in different countries have different customs. Now we are learning foreign languages, we must pay great attention to their customs.

Let A Miracle(奇迹) Happen
During my third year of teaching fourth-graders, a new student Mary came to my class.
I said “hello” to her, but there was no reply. "Mary," I said again, slowly and clearly. She raised her head and looked into my eyes. The smile on my face froze. The eyes in that sweet, little-girl face were strangely empty.
In the office, my headmaster told me Mary lived alone with her mother in Detroit. One night, several weeks ago, someone broke in and killed her mother in Mary's presence.
I needed to get the children's help before they could laugh at her about being "different." I explained gently to the children that Mary had been hurt badly, and they could do a lot to help her.
On Christmas Day, Mary's cards overflowed. She looked at each card without saying a word and put them in her box. Then on a late March day, "Spring's here!" the children cried. "Let's make a flower border(花边) for the room!" We chose papers in beautiful colors-with brown strips to weave(编织) into baskets. I showed the children how to weave baskets and how to fashion all the flowers in early spring. I encouraged Mary to try.
Suddenly, Kristie came hurrying to me, "Come and see Mary's basket. It's so pretty! " She said excitedly.
I caught my breath at its beauty. "Mary," I said. " I have never seen a more fantastic basket made of flowers. How did you ever manage?"
She looked at me with shining eyes of any normal little girl. "My mother loved flowers," she said simply. "She had all of these growing in our garden."
My tears(眼泪) came, and other children had tears in their eyes, too, but theirs - like mine - were tears of______!

Why do children need to read at least 20 minutes a day? Read it and you’ll know.
Reading is “brain (大脑) food”. Reading will improve many of the areas of the brain. Your eyes look at the words on the page. Your memory connects the words with what you already know about the story. Reading provides one of the most complex (复杂的) brain activities in life.
Reading improves listening skills. The experience of reading helps children develop good listening skills. Through reading they can know how to pronounce (发音) and learn new words to add to their vocabularies and connec t written words to the things in their real world.
Reading prepares children for school. In this way children are expected to come into school with high scores. There is a strong relationship (关系) between a child’s ability to read and his scores. Because so much of our studying depends on (取决于) our abilities to read, children must have strong reading skills to get good grades in school.
Reading improves relationships in your family. Because we are busy, it is difficult to have one-to-one time with our family member. Spending 20 minutes reading together each day provides this important time. There is nothing more wonderful than having the whole family together while reading wonderful books.

Before I was twelve years old, my family lived in the mountains. Our house was far from my school. It took me one hour to walk to school every morning. It was a happy time for me, because I could meet friends on the way, and we would go to school together. There were just six classes in my school, and only about twenty students in each class. We spent most of our time playing; the mountains were our playground. I still remember the different kinds of flowers, the songs of different birds, and the colors of trees in different seasons---everything was so interesting and beautiful. Even now I still miss my life in the mountains.
