“I don’t think I can do this any more.” “Yes, you can. You only have five more radiation treatments to go. ” I held my wife Becky close.
Ever since the breast cancer diagnosis (诊断), she had tried hard to be strong for the kids and for me.
When her diagnosis came, my first thought was
there was no way I could lose my wife. The doctors assured us the cancer was discovered early so we were feeling positive.
Becky had received an operation and was recovering from it. After six weeks of radiation therapy(治疗), she was facing her final five treatments. She was weak and tired, in low spirits. Seeing her suffering, I felt so helpless and powerless.
As soon as I was outside, long-held frustration and anger erupted in me like a volcano. I took a hammer and suddenly was swinging as hard as I could, beating heavily on the front porch(门廊). While doing so, I imagined I was beating my wife’s cancer. With all my strength, I destroyed the porch. During the treatment, my wife had been very brave. She said she had it easy, but I don’t think it was easy for her.
Seeing the porch gone, Becky shook her head at the window. I came into
the room, not knowing how she would react to what I had done.
“Becky, are you mad at me?” She looked at me in surprise. “For what?” I pointed at the gate. “For tearing down the porch.” She laughed. “Look how sunny this room is now. I love that it’s bright in here.”
“You comforted me in my darker hour, Vince. You’ve found a way to deal with your own frustration. By destroying the porch, you let the sunshine in.” As I looked around the brightened room, I realized the light that filled the space was the light of hope that shone so bright after the darkness. We never did re-build the porch.
【小题1】When the diagnosis came out, _______.
A. the author had little hope that his wife would survive B. the author was determined to save his wife’s life C. the author’s wife refused to receive radiation treatments D. the author felt lucky that his wife’s disease was not serious 【小题2】The author went outside to destroy the porch because _______. A. he wanted to release his frustration with his wife
C. he intended to let sunshine in at all
【小题3】 How did the author’s wife feel about him seeing the porch gone? A. Sympathetic.
B. Angry.
C. Understanding.
D. Happy.
D. his wife didn’t like it
B. he was disappointed
【小题4】What lesson can we learn from the passage? A. Tragedy cannot separate loving couple. like night.
C. True love is based on understanding. for a willing heart.
D. Nothing is impossible B. A day without sunshine is

In July 1994 Jupiter, the largest planet in our solar system, was struck by 21 pieces of a comet (彗星). When the fragments (碎片) landed in the southern part of the giant planet, the explosions were watched by scientists here on earth. But what if our own planet was hit by a comet?
The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two fragments will probably hit the southern part of the Earth. The news has caused panic.
On 17 July, a fragment four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a huge explosion. About half of the fragment is destroyed. But the major part survives and hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and an enormous wave is created and spreads. The wall of water rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometres an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned. The wave moves into the Indian Ocean and heads towards Asia.
Millions of people are already dead in the southern part of the Earth, but the north won't escape for long. Tons of broken pieces are thrown into
the atmosphere by the explosions. As the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later civilization has collapsed. No more than 10 million people have survived.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a space fragment. The dinosaurs couldn't survive in the cold climate that followed and they became extinct. Will we meet the same end?
【小题1】Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the author's description of the disaster in 2094? A．The whole world becomes extremely cold
B．All the coastal cities in Africa are destroyed C．The visit of the comet results in wars D．The whole mankind becomes extinct
【小题2】Why does the author mention dinosaurs at the end of the passage? A．Because they could only live in the warm climate B．Because their extinction indicates future disasters C．Because they once dominated the earth
D．Because dinosaurs and humans never live in the same age 【小题3】In writing the passage, the author intends to ______. A．give an accurate description of the possible disaster in the future B．prove that humans will sooner or later be destroyed C．warn of a possible disaster in the future D．tell the historical development of the Earth
C
Women consistently lie on social networking sites such as Facebook or Twitter to make their lives appear more exciting, a survey has found. The survey was asked to carried out by Pencourage, a new anonymous（匿名的）\"diary-style\" social media website.
Researchers found that at least one in four women exaggerated or twisted what they are doing on social media once a month. The survey of 2000 women found they mostly pretended to be out on the town, when in fact they are home alone, and beautify about an exotic holiday or their job.
The most common reasons for women to write \" fibs\" included worrying
their lives would seem “ boring\exciting posts and wanting to impress their friends and acquaintances.
Psychologists suggested that as people attempt to stay connected on social media, they can in fact be left more isolated. They also said that the more we try to make our lives seem perfect, the less perfect we feel. According to the OnePoll survey, one third of women surveyed admitted to dishonesty on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter at some stage. Almost one in four admitted to lying or exaggerating about key aspects of their life online between one and three times a month while almost one in 10 said they lied more than once a week. Nearly 30 percent of women lied about \"doing something when I am home alone\alcohol consumption while one in five were not truthful about their holiday activities or their jobs. Almost one in five women even lied about their \"relationship status\".
\"We work very hard presenting ourselves to the world online, pretending and attempting to be happy all the time which is exhausting and ultimately unfulfilling,\" said Dr Michael Sinclair, a leading British consultant psychologist. \"Leaving out the less desirable imperfections of our lives from the conversations with our 'friends online leads to less opportunity to feel empathized(有同感的)with, resulting in a greater sense of disconnection from others. \"
【小题1】According to the passage, women tend to lie on social networking sites because .
A．they have little fun in their daily lives B．they are not satisfied with their present life C．they want to entertain their friends and acquaintances D．they don't want to go out and communicate with others
【小题2】Which of the following words can best replace the underlined word in para. 3 ? A．lies.
B．posts.
C．diaries.
D．impressions.
【小题3】In the view of psychologists, people who attempt to stay connected on social media will eventually .
A．feel better about their life C．get more isolated in life
B．become a regular liar in the future D．drink more alcohol in their daily life
