科目：高中英語 來源：2014屆湖北省高二下學(xué)期期中考試英語試卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

So the evening turned to night, and the night turned to morning. And before I knew it , the SAT was before me. I wasn’t sure  if I was ready, but I knew one thing: I wanted to get it over with.

SAT for the students is like tooth pulling. For those smart Asian kiddos, it’s like walking through the park: easy and carefree. For me, a Chinese American, …it’s: walking through the park and then tripping on a stone.

As I arrived outside of the dining hall, already a mob of students were sitting, talking, or standing silently waiting to get in. Jones students are lucky not only to have such a testing center at school, but also the feeling of their home school where it feels comfortable and familiar.

“ID, please,” my former math teacher asked at the door.

“Okay.” She looked over my ID, checked off my name on her list, and pointed towards the dining hall tables inside.

With hesitation, I picked up my feet and was directed to a large round table in the middle of the dinning hall. At least fourteen people could sit at this table but only four were allowed to take their test here.

“I’m glad it’s multiple choices.” I heard one student say. All the questions on the test have five choices except for one math section where they have only four. If you get an answer wrong, you don’t get any point, plus you get a penalty of a 1/4 point. If you don’t answer a question, you don’t get any point, nor penalties.

When everyone had a seat and the actual SAT I booklet in front of them, the proctor of the test called for our attentions. “In front of you, you should have a SAT I test and a scantron（答題卡）. Please do not open the test booklet until I say so.” He then went on to talk about the procedures, the amount of time, signature of honesty, etc. After thirty minutes of instruction reading, he gave us all a solemn expression before saying, “You may begin now. Good luck.”

I could hear a hundred booklets being opened and pencils scratching the surface. I looked to my right, I looked to my left, I did a quick prayer for whoever was in charge up in the heavens, and started my test. At least I wouldn’t know my score until summer time.

1.How did the author feel before the test?

A．Confident.         B．Carefree.          C．Confused.         D．Nervous.

2.Jones students are lucky because __________.

A．they can take the test in a dining hall

B．they can talk during the test

C．they can take the test in their home school

D．they have their math teacher supervising the test

3.By the underlined sentence, the writer intends to say that_________.

A．the test would be so difficult that she might not pass it

B．the test seemed easy but she still needed to be careful with it

C．the test would be much easier for her than for the other Asian students

D．she found herself not as smart as the other Asian students

4.Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A．Fourteen students sat around a large round table, taking the test.

B．There were four math problems on the test.

C．You will lose more points if you get the answer wrong than if you give up the question.

D．The proctor announced the instructions as soon as the test began.

  Many years ago I lived in a western country. My very first job was in the city and I was excited to go to work by public transport! I had never been employed before and my chances of travelling on a bus by myself had always been very slim. So, I was very happy with my new lifestyle!

  I left home each morning in time to catch the 8.05 bus from the main road. One autumn morning I could see the bus approaching. I could also see an elderly lady walking with a lovely dog beside her. There were some youngsters behind her. 

  The bus arrived and we got on. Only eight passengers were permitted to travel standing. I was inside the bus when the conductor called, "Only eight standing passengers! Could the last one to get on please get off?" I saw those youngsters inside, right in front of me, and it occurred that they had jumped the queue!

  I turned and saw the elderly lady with her dog about to get off. I moved quickly to get in front of her. I encouraged her to stay, knowing very well I would be late that morning, but it didn't bother me. It was only as I moved past her to get off the bus that I realized -- she was blind! Her dog was her guide dog! 

  Well, I eventually got to the office. After the day's work I went to the bus stand in front of my office to make the return journey. What a pleasant surprise! The lady and her dog were there! I was really pleased because I would get a better chance to speak with her. I started the conversation and she recognized my Asian accent! She asked if I was the same person who helped her that morning. Amazing! From there onwards it was one long happy conversation.

  These beautiful memories are still fresh in my mind. By helping others, I feel content!

A.      often traveled by bus on her own         B. enjoy going to work by public transport

      C．found a better job now than before        D. was born into a wealthy family

52. According to the passage, who ought to get off the bus?

      A. The old lady   B. The dog         C. One of those youngsters        D. The author

53. The author offered to get off and persuaded the old lady to stay because she _______ .

     A. didn’t like those youngsters                       B. didn’t want to stand in the bus

     C. wanted to help the elderly lady                    D. had much time to go to work
