三、阅读理解（30%）

(A)

[来源:学科网ZXXK] Now throwing shoes at somebody is a favorite game on the Internet. Sometimes you should throw your shoes. Here is an example.

After leaving his office at the center of city, a young man bought a new car and drove it from the city to his home.

He was very happy and the car ran very fast. Suddenly, a shoe hit the car in the door. The man got very angry. He jumped out of car and caught a boy who still had a shoe in his hand.

“Who are you? Why do you that?” the angry man shouted at the boy.

“I’m sorry? But I don’t know what else to do. My sister has been hurt. I cry for help but nobody stops,” the boy says.

The man looked around and saw a girl by the road. ___22____.

“She is my sister. She wants to cross the road but falls out of her wheelchair. She is too heavy for me. I can’t get her back into the wheelchair.” The man was moved. He helped the bleeding girl back into her wheelchair. “Thank you. You are so kind.” says the little boy.

Life speaks to our heart. Sometimes we don’t have time to listen and he will throw a shoe at us.

21. The young man drove his new car _______.

A. to the center of city B. to his office C. to his home D. to the supermarket 22. Which sentence should be put in the blank____ (22)___?

A. She was dancing. B. Her leg was bleeding . C. She was running. D. Her hands were dirty. 23. Why did the boy throw the shoe?

A. Because he wanted to help the young man B. Because he needed help. C. Because he was hurt D. Because the car ran fast. 24. The boy said “Thank you. You are so kind.” because___________.

A. the young boy wanted to cross the road B. the young man was moved

C. the young man saw a girl’s leg was bleeding into the wheel chair D. the young man helped his sister back into the wheelchair 25. What do you learn from the article?

A. We should be kind and helpful. B. We should drive slowly.

C. We shouldn’t get angry when someone throws shoes at our cars. D. We shouldn’t throw shoes at the cars.

(B) Is there someone you hate? Well, maybe you don’t really hate them. But you get really angry every time you think of them. If you don’t let this anger go, it can turn into bitterness(痛苦)。

Bitterness often appears when we can’t forgive someone who has hurt us or made us angry. Someone might say or do something that hurts us. But instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. Before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. We may think we’re hurting that person by criticizing(指责) him or her often, but we’re really only hurting ourselves.

Bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationship with friends and family members. No one enjoys being around an anger person for very long.
