班级姓名

一．完型填空：

This always began after breakfast: “Go ahead, everyone. I’ll 1 the dishes!” For the next hour Dad did the

dishes, singing songs like I Had a Hat When I Came In.

I suppose it was 2 for a boy’s father to wear an apron – but I never thought much of it 3 the day that Dad

broke with tradition.

“Tommy,” he said 4 . “There comes a time in every boy’s life when he must take on 5 . Starting today, I want

you to do the dishes on Sunday morning so that your mother and I can work the word 6 in the paper together.”

“You want me to do the dishes?”

“ 7 wrong with taking over the dishes, Son?”

I didn’t taste a bit of 8 that day. Dad seemed in a merry mood as he described an excellent game.

Everything grew quiet. My sister began to 9 the table. My brother was scraping(刮除) the last of the egg from

his plate. My father 10 : “Let’s go to read the paper, Honey.”X K B 1.C O M

“Aren’t you doing the dishes?” my mother asked.

“Your oldest son has 11 offered,” replied my father.

So this was 12 my life had come to. Ask me to run through a rainstorm. 13 me to ride the roller coaster –

backward. These things are what I would do. But I could never do those dishes. There was nothing 14 but to

refuse.

People often say there is a(n) 15 chemistry between a father and a son. Dad came back into the kitchen just as I

was about to 16 out. He had loosened his tie and rolled up the sleeves of his shirt – ready to 17 . In his right

hand was the old apron.

“I want you to have this, Tommy. It will keep your clothes from getting wet. Thanks, Son.” 18 that he

disappeared into the Sunday paper. I looked down at the apron. It had seen better days. I could see my dad 19 for

the dishes and washing them happily. My dark angel disappeared. Soon I was singing a song about a(n) 20 . I

二．阅读理解：

A．

My folks bought their first house in the early 1940s after Dad got a better job in Marquette, Michigan. We

lived just inside the city limits in what was still a rural area.

In the spring of 1948, when I was 6 years old, my parents bought a calf（小牛） to replace our cow, which

had been killed the year before. So one day we drove to a local farm and returned with a white and brown calf we

named Tubby.

We didn’t own a truck, so Tubby rode home in the backseat of Dad’s car with my 9-year-old brother, Steve,

and me. As you can imagine, the trip was a lot of fun for us kids.

Later that summer, Mom thought it would be cute to take a picture of me sitting on Tubby’s back. All went

well until the snap of the camera shutter sent Tubby charging off on a run, with me holding on for dear life.

I lasted for about 30 feet before I hit the ground. Mom was quick enough to shoot a follow-up picture, so we

had photos of me both on and off Tubby!

When summer had passed, the day arrived for poor Tubby to fill our freezer. I must have been somewhere else

with my Mom on the fateful day, because I have no memory of how it happened. All I knew was that the barn was

empty, and that we had plenty of meat for dinners.

I hadn’t lived on a farm like my mother, so I didn’t understand that what happened to Tubby was not unusual.

Livestock aren’t meant to be pets, and most farm kids know and accept that truth.

Whenever we had beef for dinner, I would tearfully, “Is this Tubby?” This went on for a couple of weeks until

Dad had finally had enough and declared, “No more cows!” That made me feel a little better about poor Tubby.

1.The writer’s parents bought Tubby so that ____.

A. they would have more cows in the future B. It would provide their children with milk.

C. the family would have enough meat to eat D. they would no longer feel lonely on the farm.

2. Which word can be used to describe the author’s mom?

A. Serious. B. Strong-willed. C. Careless D. Quick-minded.

3. We learn from the passage that _____.

A. Steve was not so fond of Tubby as his younger brother.

B. the author had much trouble with Tubby in the summer.

C. the author’s mom thought it natural to kill a cow for meat.

D. the author was pleased to see their freezer filled with beef.

4. We can most probably read the text above in a website on ____.

A. pets B. education C. diet D. animals

Early on e morning, more than a hundred years ago, an American inventor called Elias Howe finally fell

asleep. He had been working all night on the design of a sewing machine but he had run into a very difficult

problem: It seemed impossible to get the thread to run smoothly around the needle.

Though he was tired, Howe slept badly. He turned and turned. Then he had a dream. He dreamt that he had

been caught by terrible savages whose king wanted to kill him and eat him unless he could build a perfect sewing

machine. When he tried to do so, Howe ran into the same problem as before. The thread kept getting caught

around the needle. The king flew into the cage and ordered his soldiers to kill Howe. They came up towards him

with their spears raised. But suddenly the inventor noticed something. There was a hole in the tip of each spear.

The inventor awoke from the dream, realizing that he had just found the answer to the problem. Instead of trying

to get the thread to run around the needle, he should make it run through a small hole in the center of the needle.

This was the simple idea that finally made Howe design and build the first really practised sewing machine.

Elias Howe was not the only one in finding the answer to his problem in this way. Thomas Edison, the inventor

of the electric light, said his best ideas came into him in dreams. So did the great physicist Albert Einstein.
