• 1．I was born on the 17th of November 1828，in the village of Nam Ping，which is about four miles southwest of the Portuguese Colony （殖民地） of Macao，and is located on Pedro Island lying west of Macao，from which it is separated by a channel of half a mile wide.
     As early as 1834，an English lady，Mrs.Gutzlaff，wife of a missionary to China，came to Macao.Supported by the Ladies' Association in London for the promotion of female education in India and the East，she immediately took up the work of starting a girls' school for Chinese girls，which was soon followed by the opening of a boys' school.
     Mrs.Gutzlaff's comprador（買辦） happened to come from my village and was actually my father's friend and neighbor.It was through him that my parents heard about Mrs.Gutzlaff's school and it was doubtlessly through his influence and means that my father got me admitted into the school.It has always been a mystery to me why my parents should put me into a foreign school，instead of a traditional Confucian school，where my big brother was placed.Most certainly such a step would have been more suitable for Chinese public opinion，taste，and the wants of the country，than to allow me to attend an English school.Moreover，a Chinese belief is the only avenue in China that leads to political promotion，influence，power and wealth.I can only guess that as foreign communication with China was just beginning to grow，my parents hoped that it might be worthwhile to put one of their sons to learning English.In this way he might become an interpreter and have a more advantageous position to enter the business and diplomatic world.I am wondering if that influenced my parents to put me into Mrs.Gutzlaff's School.As to what other sequences it has eventually brought about in my later life，they were entirely left in the hands of God.
  
  （1）How was the author admitted to Mrs.Gutzlaff's school？

  
  A．Through his father's friend's help.
  B．Through his own efforts to exams.
  C．Through his father's request.
  D．Through Mrs.Gutzlaff's influence.
  （2）Why did the author's parents put him into an English school？

  
  A．An English school was more influential.
  B．Foreign trade with China was developing fast.
  C．It met with Chinese public opinion.
  D．He could become a successful interpreter.
  （3）What did the author think of his parents' decision to put him into an English school？

  
  A．It was skeptical.
  B．It was mysterious.
  C．It was thoughtful.
  D．It was wonderful.

• 2．Sports are the base of my life，next to my mother who raised me when my dad left us．I have been into sports since I was six years old．I have known many coaches and heard hundreds of their tips，but they usually focused on drills to develop my skills and reach the next level of play．
     When I was in Senior two，I met the new school basketball coach，Brian Pawloski．I thought I was certain to be selected for the school team since I had been in it the year before．I showed up to the tryouts and put out about 90% effort since I thought I'd make it with no problem．That was a big mistake．
     Brian Pawloski is the hardest-working coach I have ever met．He didn't expect 100% effort，he expected 200% effort．One example：he once made us do 40 suicide drills for the 40 lay-ups（投籃） we missed in a game．Some think this is crazy，but it isn't．After this conditioning practice，as we were getting a cup of cold water to drink，I said，"Coach，that was the best practice I ever had．"I was completely sincere．This man was and is the person who influenced me most at my high school．He expects us to be excellent not just on the court but in the classroom．If I am not working on basketball，I am reading a book that he thinks will help us better understand life's challenges，including Wooden，Coach，and The Screwtape Letters．
    In the first two years I slacked off，not putting forth my full potential．Now，unlike the coaches of my youth，this man was interested in how we did off the court．He always made sure I kept up with my studies and was able to be trusted．I can honestly say that no other coach has given me so much advice on how to succeed in basketball，but more importantly，in life．My school is lucky to have such a great person to teach，coach and influence their students．I will always remember my high-school basketball days as one of the hardest times I have ever worked in my life not only in basketball but in my growth as an individual．
  
  （1）Different from other coaches，Coach Brian

  ．
  A．concentrated on skill training
  B．trained the team to the edge of death
  C．expected the team to do well in their studies
  D．asked the team to do more reading than training
  （2）The underlined phrase"slacked off"in the last paragraph probably means

  ．
  A．paid no attention
  B．showed no interest
  C．had less passion
  D．made less effort
  （3）In the author's eyes，Coach Brian is

  ．
  A．strict and helpful
  B．hardworking and honest
  C．skilled and cruel
  D．professional and serious

• 8．閱讀下面短文，根據所給情節(jié)進行續(xù)寫，使之構成一個完整的故事．
      Once， when I was a teenager my father and I were standing in line to buy tickets for the circus． Finally there was only one family between us and the ticket counter．
      This family made a big impression on me． There were eight children， all probably under the age of twelve． You could tell they didn't have a lot of money． Their clothes were not expensive， but they were clean， the children were well-behaved， all of them standing in line， two-by-two behind their parents， holding hands． They were excitedly talking about the clowns， elephants and other acts they would see that night with their brothers or sisters in a low voice． One could sense they had never been to the circus before． It promised to be a highlight of their young lives．
      The father and mother were at the head of the pack， standing proud as they could be． The mother was holding her husband's hand， looking up at him as if to say， "You are my knight in shining armor．" He was smiling and responding in pride， looking back at her as if to say "You got that right"． The ticket lady asked the father how many tickets he wanted． He proudly responded "please let me buy eight children's tickets and two adult tickets so I can take my family to the circus．
      The ticket lady gave the price． The man's wife let go of his hand， lowered her head and her lips began to shake． The father leaned a little closer and asked， "How much did you say？" The ticket lady again told him the price． The man obviously didn't have enough money．
      How was he supposed to turn and tell his eight children that he didn't have enough money to take them to the circus？ Actually we were not wealthy in any sense， so I understand how the kids would feel． I felt sorry for them．
