阅读下面短文,从短文后所给各题的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出能填入相应空白处的最佳选项。

It was 4 o’clock in the morning, when I received the phone call.

“This is the emergency room calling and your son was just   1  in with severe burns on his face, neck and arms. We’ve called for a (n)   2  and are going to fly him to the burn unit in Seattle.”

Seattle was 350 miles from his college, so we knew immediately this was   3 .

The doctor described the accident, which caused the burns. At 6 am, our son and his friends decided to barbecue hamburgers. When they   4  the charcoal (木炭), it burst into flames because they had sprayed (喷洒) too much gasoline (petrol). The flames   5  my son’s shirt tail and shot from his waist to his head.

When I was a child, my mother told my sister, who had a 10-inch, very   8  scar on her arm. “Ann, if you ignore the scar, other people will ignore it. It doesn’t mean they won’t   9  it, but it means it will not matter to them if it doesn’t matter to you.”

I   10  this wisdom (智慧) on to my son. He took my advice to   11  and returned to school with his head held high — glad he was alive.

By the end of the six-month waiting period, he decided that the scars did not matter, so he made the   12  to give up any plastic surgery (外科手术).

We all have “scars” that   13  people to keep away from us. And we spend a lot of time thinking that if only we looked differently, or dressed differently, people would like us better.

But you see, people will only judge you by your looks, or your clothes, if you are judging yourself by these same   14  standards(标准). Put your imperfections out of your   15  and concentrate (集中) on what you value within yourself, and your beauty will shine through.

I was walking along the deserted main street of a small seaside town in the north of England looking somewhere to make a phone call. My car had broken down outside the town and I wanted to get in touch with the Automobile Association .Low gray clouds were drifting across the sky and there was a cold damp wind blowing off the sea. It had rained in the night and water was dripping from the bare trees that lined the street. I was glad that I was wearing a thick coat.

There was no sign of a call box, nor was there anyone at that early hour I could ask. I had thought I might find a shop selling the Sunday papers or a milkman doing his job, but the town was completely dead.

Then suddenly I found what I was looking for. There was a small post office, and almost hidden from sight in a dark narrow street next to it was the town's only public call box, which badly needed a coat of paint, I hurried forward but stopped in astonishment when I saw through the dirty glass that there was a man inside. He was very fat, and was wearing a cheap blue plastic raincoat and rubber boots. I could not see his face - he was bending forward over the phone with his back pressed against the glass and didn't even raise his head at the sound of my coming nearer and nearer. Carefully and surprisedly, I remained standing a few feet away and lit a cigarette to wait my turn. It was when I threw the dead match on the ground that I noticed something bright red trickling from under the call box door.

1.The author was walking through the small seaside town__________.

A.late morning

B.early morning

C.before midnight

D.late evening

2.The weather of the day was ____, when the story happened.

A.windy, cold and cloudy

B.stormy, damp and clear

C.rainy, cold and clear

D.rainy, windy and cold

3. Why was the author astonished when he saw that there was a man in the call box? Because____.

A.the man inside was still wearing a raincoat

B.he didn't expect it to be taken up

C.the man had his back with him

D.the man did not seem to be moving

4.The author waited, standing a few feet away from the box because____.

A.it was not safe to be close to the box

B.the man didn't notice his coming

C.he wanted to have a cigarette to calm himself down

D.it was bad manners to overhear other's phone calls

5. What do you suppose happened to the man in the call box?

A.He slept.

B.He had most probably been killed.

C.He was lost in his important phone call.

D.He was too fat to move around.

Diego Maradona acknowledged(承认) that he struck the ball with his hand in the famous “Hand of God “ goal against England in the 1986 World Cup quarterfinals.

Maradona appeared to hit the ball with his hand into the net, and officials allowed the goal to stand despite protests by the English team. Argentina went on to win the 1986 quarterfinal match 2-1 and then win the World Cup.

In his most detailed comments yet, Maradona said he was unable to reach the ball for a header(头球) when he went up against the taller English goalkeeper, Peter Shilton.

After the score, Maradona said he quickly realized the line referee(裁判) had allowed the goal but none of themselves were figuring the goal would be effective.

“I was waiting for my teammates to hug me and no one came,” said Maradona, who was the team captain. “I told them, ‘Come and hug me or the referee isn’t going to allow it.’”

In his 20-year career before retiring in 1997, Maradona starred at Argentinas Juniors and Boca Juniors and in Europe. He also led Argentina league titles(冠军).

In 1991, Maradona failed a drug test and was banned for 15 months. Nine years later, FiFA chose him and Pele as the best players in soccer history.

Recently, he was appointed vice president of Boca Juniors. And with his new TV show, Maradona, 45, has returned to public eyes after years of dealing with drug and health problems.

1.This passage comes from ________.

A a report of some newspaper.              B Maradona’s autobiography

C statement of an official                  D an interview with Maradona’s teammates

2.Maradona was chosen as one of the best players in soccer history in ____.

A 1986          B 1997         C 2000        D 2001

3.The underlined word “figuring” is closest in meaning to ____.

A pretending    B thinking      C hoping       D celebrating

4.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?

A Striking the ball with one’s hand into the net is effective.

B Maradona didn’t pass a drug test.

C Maradona won the 1986 World Cup.

D Maradona retired in 1997.

5.We can learn the following from the passage EXCEPT THAT ___.

A Maradona was once a drug taker.

B Maradona had planned to head the ball but failed.

C his teammates rushed to congratulate him after Maradona had shot the goal.

D Maradona once had some health problems.

“Sesame Street” has been called “the longest street in the world.” That is because the television program by that name can now be seen in so many parts of the world. That program became one of American’s exports soon after it went on the air in New York in 1969. 

In the United States more than six million children watch the program regularly. The viewers include more than half the nation’s pre-school children, from every kind of economic, racial(种族的), and geographical group. 

Although some educators object to certain elements in the program, parents praise it highly. Many teachers also consider it a great help, though some teachers find that problems arise when first graders who have learned from “Sesame Street” are in the same class with children who have not watched the program. 

Tests have shown that children from all racial, geographical, and economic backgrounds have benefited from watching it. Those who watch it five times a week learn more than occasional(偶尔的)viewer. In the US the program is shown at different hours during the week in order to increase the number of children who can watch it regularly. 

The programs all use songs stories, jokes and pictures to give children a basic understanding of numbers, letters and human relationships. But there are some differences. For example, the Spanish program, produced in Mexico City, devotes more time to teaching whole words than to teaching separate letters. 

Why has “Sesame Street” been so much more successful than other children’s shows? Many reasons have been suggested. People mention the educational theories of its creators, the support by the government and private businesses, and the skillful use of a variety of TV tricks. Perhaps an equally important reason is that mothers watch it along with their children. This is partly because famous adult stars often appear on it. But the best reason for the success of the program may be that it makes every child watching feel able to learn. The child finds himself learning, and he wants to learn more. 

1. “Sesame Street” is actually______. 

A.a street in the US

B.a program for children

C.a program of teachers

D.a program for students

2.Children who often watch the program______. 

A.can have problems in school

B.will find it a great help

C.will take no interest in their studies

D.will be well educated

3.What is special about the program?

A.It offers great fun. 

B.It makes children feel able to learn. 

C.It is shown at different hours during the week. 

D.Children learn and enjoy themselves while watching. 

4.Why is “Sesame Street” so popular in the world?

A.Because it is supported by the government and businesses. 

B.Because it uses a variety of skillful tricks. 

C.Because mothers watch it along with their children. 

D.Because it makes every child watching it feel able to learn. 

5.The best title for this passage can be______. 

A.TV Programs

B.Educating Children

C.Sesame Street

D.A Greet Success
