阅读理解

     A priest (神父) lived with his small white cat. One day, the cat climbed up a tree and was afraid to come down. The priest called its name and gave it its favourite drink, warm milk, but the cat still didn't come down. So the priest decided to tie rope (栓一根绳子) between his car and the tree. He thought as he drove, the tree would bend down (弯曲) and he could get the cat. He did so. But he drove too far, and the rope broke (断).

    The tree went "boing!" and the cat went through the air. The priest couldn't see it. He felt terrible. He walked around and asked people if they'd seen his cat. But nobody had seen it. At last, he said, "God (上帝), I just give this cat to your keeping."

    A few days later, he met one of his friends in a shop. He saw cat food in her shopping bag. This woman didn't like cats and everyone knew it, so he asked her in surprise, "Why are you buying cat food?"

    She answered, "My little girl always wanted a cat, but I didn't agree. Then a few days ago, she asked again. I told her if God gave her a cat, she could keep it. She went out of the house and said something to the sky. Then suddenly a cat flew out of the blue sky and landed in front of her. "

 Answer the questions. (根据对话内容回答下列问题)

A walk in the forest

I'm Grace. I live on a farm with my parents and take Benji, my pet dog, for a walk most days after school.

Wednesday

As I was going through the forest it started raining hard. Suddenly, I slipped and fell on the ground. Ouch! That hurt. Then a voice said, "Are you all right? That was a bad fall." I looked up and saw a boy about my age. He helped me up. "I haven't seen you at school. Do you live near here?" I asked. "No, I'm from Manchester," he said. "Listen! I have to go. Are you OK to walk home? Do you need help?" "No, I'm fine. Thanks!" I said, then the boy walked away.

Back home, Mum was watching the news.

"Hi, Grace. Have you heard about this boy, Mark?" she asked. "No, what boy?" I said. "A boy from Manchester. He's run away from home. Look! This is his dad."

There was a man on TV sitting next to a policeman. He was crying and looked as if he hadn't slept for days. Then they showed a photo of the missing boy. I knew him. It was the boy in the forest. He was Mark. "Should I say something? No, I mustn't say anything. Maybe he has a good reason. I have to talk to him first." I said to myself.

Thursday

I found Mark in the forest. I said, "Your dad was on TV last night. The police are looking for you." He looked shocked and asked, "Did you say anything? Have you told them?" "No," I said. "I wanted to talk to you first. Why have you run away?" He looked at the ground and said, "I had a big argument with my dad. My mum died four years ago. It was very hard for me and for Dad. But then he met someone new. Mel's her name. She wants my dad for herself and isn't interested in me. My dad keeps telling me to make an effort with her, but I can't. The night I ran away, he told me that we would all move to London because Mel's from London. But my grandpa and my friends are in Manchester. I don't want to move to London. We both got angry. So I took my tent and left in the middle of the night."

I felt sorry for Mark, but I thought of his dad crying on TV and felt sorry for him too. "What are you going to do?" I asked.

"I don't know. I need time to think," he replied. 

"    ▲        ."

 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Four years ago, l, a 17-year-old girl, arrived at Wellesley College. I cried when my parents dropped me off in my dormitory (宿舍). I thought to myself, "This is what loneliness feels like." Just at that time, I had forgotten how excited I was for college.

Four years has nearly passed, I am now 21 years old, just two months from graduating from college. In four years, I have experienced a lot, happy time, sad moment and ordinary days. How grateful I am for the ones who have shown me the way and taught me to be strong when I felt hopeless. How lucky I am to know that I have a home to return to.

Tomorrow, my mother turns 50. It is because of my mother that l've learned to love myself, to respect myself, and above all, to be a good person. Because of her, I have known that giving up is not and will not ever be a choice.

My mother and I have sometimes clashed head(冲突). She is the strongest person I know, the person who I disagree most. She has told me that I am the only person that is responsible for my life. But today I have to tell her that she has been wrong.

She doesn't realize that there is another person who will never leave me. There's another person who will always there for me and who will love me forever. That person is her. She is the first person I will call when I am sad, in trouble, or feeling blue. She will never lie to me to hurt my feelings. 

I have come so far these fast four years. I still have a long life to live. A life that I hope will be full of adventure, success, and happiness. Mom, you've helped me so far. You are my hero. One day I hope to be like you.
