Sometimes it was because I achieved a goal I had set. Sometimes it was because I overcame a fear or passed a test. However, every time I feel that way, I learn again that full isnt full. When I was a little boy, I felt that the love I had for my mom and dad, and the love they had for me, just filled me up. Surely in a house full of nine people lived a young boy who loved and was loved as fully as a person could stand. Imagine my surprise as I then extended (扩大影响) that love to my grandparents, my uncle & aunt, cousins, etc. As I grew older, I met and married a beautiful woman that I thought entirely filled me up with love. I could not imagine there would be any more room. Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family. Again, I had room to love and be loved. See what I mean? Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get, they get better. There is a lesson here for us. We ought to always have a heart that is open to expanding. To do more, love more, live more, learn more, overcome more, forgive more and the list could go on. Each of us knows 100 stories about men and women who have proved the impossible to be possible. Every day we stand at the crossroad and must decide if we are going to be a better person today than we were yesterday. You are not full yet. Young or old, there is still room for more. 1. What does the underlined sentence mean? A. I can do it in a better way. B. These difficulties are really too hard. C. Something disappointing always happens. D. There always seems to be a little more room. 2. According to Para. 2, what did the author mistakenly believe at first? A. His room was not big enough. B. He would only have one child. C. Caring for families was not his strength. D. Getting married would be his final happiness. 3. This text is most probably taken from a _. A. TV guide B. news report C. life magazine D. job advertisement B B Many years ago three soldiers, hungry and tired of battle, came upon a small village. The villagers, suffering a bad harvest and the many years of war, quickly hid what little they had to eat and met the three in the village square, shaking their heads and sighing, “Well, we are starving.” The soldiers communicated with each other 1 quietly and then the first soldier turned to the villagers. “Your poor fields have left you nothing to share, so we will share what little we have: the secret of making soup from stones.” Naturally the villagers were intrigued and soon a fire was built to the villages greatest pot, and then the soldiers dropped in three smooth stones. “Now this will be a fine soup,” said the second soldier, “but a handful of salt and some parsley (香芹) would make it wonderful!” Up jumped a villager, crying “What a piece of luck! Ive just remembered where some has been left!” And off she ran, returning with parsley. As the pot was boiling, the memory of the villagers improved: soon carrots, beef and cream had found their way into the great pot. They ate and danced and sang well into the night, thrilled about the feast and their new-found friends. In the morning the three soldiers awoke, finding all the villagers standing before them. At their feet lay a bag of the villages best bread and cheese. “You have given us the greatest gift,” said an elder, “and we shall never forget.” The third soldier turned to the crowd, and said, “There is no secret, but this is certain: people working together can accomplish great things.” At last the light dawned on villagers. Off the soldiers wandered, down the road. 4. The villagers hid food at first mainly because _. A. they didnt want to share their little food B. they had a poor harvest that year C. they had nothing to eat at all D. they were sick of soldiers 5. What does the underlined word “intrigued” probably mean? A. Unwilling. B. Satisfied. C. Interested. D. Generous. 6. What can we learn from the text? A. The stones used to make the soup were magical. B. The villagers were grateful to the soldiers at last. C. The villagers provided nothing other than the soup. D. The stone soup didnt agree with most of the villagers. 7. Whats the secret of making stone soup? A. To be patient. B. To share. C. To be honest. D. To forgive. C C Our brains work in complex and strange ways. There are some people who can calculate the day of the week for any given date in 40,000 years, but who cannot add two plus two. Others can perform complex classical piano pieces after hearing them once, but they cannot read or write. Dr.J. Langdon Down first described this condition in 1887.He called these people idiot savants. An idiot savant is a person who has significant mental impairment (损伤) , such as in autism ( 孤独症，自闭症) or retardation. At the same time, the person also exhibits some extraordinary skills, which are unusual for most people.The skills of the savant may vary from being exceptionally gifted in music or in mathematics, or having a photographic memory. One of the first descriptions of a human who could calculate quickly was written in 1789 by Dr.Benjamin Rush, an American doctor. His patient, Thomas Fuller, was 2 brought to Virginia as a slave in1724. It took Thomas only 90 seconds to work out that a man who has lived 70 years, 17 days, and 12 hours has lived 2,210,500,800 seconds. Despite this ability, he died in 1790 without ever learning to read or write. Another idiot savant slave became famous as a pianist in the 1860s. Blind Tom had a vocabulary of only 100 words, but he played 5 ,000 musical pieces beautifully. In the excellent movie Rain Man, made in 1988 and available on video cassette, Dustin Hoffman plays an idiot savant who amazes his brother played by Tom Cruise, with his ability to perform complex calculations very rapidly. Today we more clearly recognize that the idiot savant is special because of brain impairment. Yet not all brain impairment leads to savant skills. Some studies have shown that people who have purposeful interruption of the left side of the brain can develop idiot savant skills. However few people wish to participate in such experiments. There are many excellent reasons for not undergoing unnecessary experimentation on one's brain. The term idiot savant is outdated and inappropriate. Virtually all savants have a high degree of intelligence and are thus not idiots. 8. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Idiot savants have areas of outstanding abilities. B. Human Beings have complicated thinking process. C. The brains of the idiot savants are partly impaired. D. The reasons why people have wonderful skills vary. 9. Which of the following can be done by Rain Man? A. He can play wonderful pieces of classical music. B. He can guess out exactly the length of a man's life. C. He can memorize the contents of the pictures fast. D. He can count matches dropped on the floor quickly. 10. What can you infer from the passage? A. Idiot savants have real talents for art and math. B. Dr.Down is the first person who found idiot savants. C. Few people wish to risk becoming savants by brain operations. D. Intentional left brain impairments will surely lead to idiot savants. 第二节（共 5 5 小题；每小题 2 2 分，满分 1010分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选 项。 Reading books is one of the best hobbies.
