　　Ⅱ.閱讀理解

　　A

　　The first day of school our professor introduced himself and challenged us to get to know someone we didn't know. I stood up to look around when a gentle hand touched my shoulder. I turned around to find a wrinkled, little old lady beaming up at me with a smile that lit up her entire being.

　　She said, “Hi, girl! My name is Rose. I'm 87 years old. Can I give you a hug？”

　　I laughed and enthusiastically(熱情地)responded, “Of course you may！” and she gave me a giant squeeze.

　　“Why are you in college at such a young, innocent age？” I asked. She jokingly replied, “I'm here to meet a rich husband, get married, have a couple of children, and then retire and travel！”

　　“No seriously，” I said. I was curious what may have motivated her to be taking on this challenge at her age.

　　“I always dreamed of having a college education and now I'm getting one！” she told me.

　　Over the course of the year, Rose became a campus icon and she easily made friends wherever she went. She loved to dress up and she reveled in the attention bestowed upon her from the other students. She was living it up.

　　At the end of the semester we invited Rose to speak at our football banquet. I'll never forget what she taught us.

　　“We do not stop playing because we are old; we grow old because we stop playing. There are only two secrets to staying young, being happy, and achieving success. You have to laugh and find humor every day. You've got to have a dream. When you lose your dreams, you die！” she said.

　　“There is a huge difference between growing older and growing up. If you are nineteen years old and lie in bed for one full year and don't do one productive thing, you will turn 20 years old. If I am 87 years old, and stay in bed for a year, and never do anything, I will turn 88. Anybody can grow older. But every minute counts for young men，” she added.

　　“The idea is to grow up by always finding the opportunity in change.Have no regrets. The elderly usually don't have regrets for what we did, but rather for things we did not do.The only people who fear death are those with regrets.”

　　She concluded her speech by courageously singing The Song of Rose.She challenged each of us to study the lyrics(歌詞)and live them out in our daily lives.

　　At the year's end, Rose finished the college degree she had begun all those years ago.One week after graduation Rose died peacefully in her sleep.

　　16．Rose made herself known to the author in a________ manner.

　　A．serious

　　B．cold

　　C．humorous

　　　D．crazy

　　17．From the information provided in the passage, we know ________.

　　A．Rose finished the college degree within a year

　　B．Rose did realize her dream of meeting a rich husband and getting married through college education

　　C．Rose enjoyed her campus life very much

　　D．Rose grew so old that she stopped playing

　　18．Rose delivered the speech________.

　　A．a(chǎn)t the graduation

　　B．which she prepared carefully

　　C．ended with The Song of Rose

　　D．to challenge all the other speakers

　　19．According to her speech, ________.

　　A．even you have a dream, you won't succeed

　　B．a(chǎn)ll people don't grow up while growing older

　　C．Rose usually regretted having done something

　　D．a(chǎn) nine-year-old is as old as an 87-year-old if he doesn't do anything

　　B

　　Earlier this month, the United States Library of Congress named Katherine Paterson the national ambassador for young people's literature. She is only the second person to hold the position. She replaces writer Jon Scieszka, who had served since 2008.

　　The librarian of Congress, James Billington, said Ms Paterson “represents the finest in literature for young people”. He spoke of the importance of reading in the lives of American young people. Ms Paterson has written more than thirty books. She is among only five writers to have won two Newbery Medals. These are among the most important children's book awards in the United States.

　　Bridge to Terabithia won a Newbery Medal in 1977. Her book Jacob Have I Loved won the award in 1981.

　　Katherine Paterson's books for children are often quite complex. Bridge to Terabithia includes adult themes like depression and death. The book has caused debate because of its place on school library bookshelves. Some parents think it is too adult for young children. Ms Paterson says the idea for the book came from a real life experience. Her son's best friend died in 1974 when she was struck by lightning.

　　Katherine Paterson is seventy-seven. She began writing as a young mother with three children. But she says her interest in writing came as a surprise. As a child she had thought about becoming a Christian religious worker in foreign countries like her parents were.

　　Katherine Paterson spoke to a gathering of children when she was named ambassador on January fifth in Washington. She said, “Read for your life. Read for your life as a member of a family, as a part of a community, as a citizen of this country and a citizen of the world.”

　　20．The Newbery Medal is designed for ________.

　　A．writers with best books for children

　　B．children with best books on adult themes

　　C．writers with best books for grown-ups

　　A．Its topics include depression and death.

　　B．It won a Newbery Medal in the 1980s.

　　C．Some people think it's for adults only.

　　D．The idea for it came directly from real life.

　　22．As a child, Katherine ________.

　　A．had bad relations with her parents

　　B．showed great interest in writing books

　　C．hoped to take part in religious activities

　　D．began writing books with serious themes
