四、阅读理解（共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）

阅读下列材料，从各小题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出一个最佳答案。

A

One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting. I was looking forward to a quiet view of the art works.

A young couple viewing the paintings ahead of me chatted nonstop between themselves. I watched them a moment and decided the wife was doing all the talk. I admired the husband’s patience for putting up with her continuous talk. Distracted by their noise, I moved on.

I met with them several times as I moved through the different rooms of art. Each time I heard her constant burst of words, I moved away quickly.

I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple came near to the exit. Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object. He extended it into a long stick and then tapped his way into the coatroom to get his wife’s jacket.

“He’s a brave man.”The clerk at the counter said,” Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age. During his recovery he made a promise that his life wouldn’t change. So ,as before, he and his wife come in whenever there’s a new art show.”

“But what does he get out of the art?” I asked, “He can’t see.”

“Can’t see? You’re wrong. He sees a lot. More than you or I do.”The clerk said, “His wife describes each painting so he can see it in his head.”

I learned something about patience, courage and love that day. I saw the patience of a young wife describing paintings to a person without sight and the courage of a husband who would not allow blindness to change his life. And I saw the love shared by two people as I watched this couple walk away hand in hand.

C

A small, white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten years or so.

It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…,spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.

Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.

Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.

As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.

Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseball. That’s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store

and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.

On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas. 66. Justin hated Christmas because _____.

A. he didn’t enjoy receiving gifts B. he had a hard time choosing gifts C. he spent too much money buying gifts

D. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree

67.We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church_____.

A. were well dressed B. paid no attention to safety C. feared Kevin’s team D. couldn’t afford a helmet 68. How did Justin feel about the team’s failure ?

A. Upset B. Angry C. Hopeless D. Shameful

69. Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name ? A. To avoid being thanked B. To play a joke on Justin

C. To give Justin a surprise D. To protect her private information 70. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage? A. The Church Gift B. A Special Note C. The White Envelope D. A Christmas Card

It was fine last Sunday. I went to the Yard Sale in Changjiang Community. More than 200 people took part in the activity .Some people sold used things such as bikes, toys, and clothes. Others sold cakes, cards and bookmarks made by themselves. Used books could be exchanged in the yard, too. I enjoyed myself there. In my opinion, it was a very good activity. We can not only make full use of used things, but also protect our environment in this way.

A: Hello, everyone. First, let me introduce myself. My name is White and I work at Grace Hospital. As you know, I am here today to talk about blood donation. The idea of a blood donation is very simple. If a person is in an accident or has an operation, he will lose a lot of blood and this are the times when a blood donation is needed.

The simple idea means taking blood from another person and putting it into the body of patient, so you might be thinking what dose this have to do with me. Well, it has something to do with all of us. Hospitals need to keep banks of blood ready for saving lives. The only way they can get that blood is from common people like you and this is completely safe. In fact, your body will make enough blood to replace it after only one day. Doctors have been carrying out blood donations for hundreds of years. Giving blood only takes several minutes and it doesn’t hurt. It costs you nothing and it could save a life, so please! Give blood!
