四、阅读理解(本题30 分, 每小题2分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
A
My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six
falling grades for the year. I considered he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

People have dreamed of connecting the two oceans for a long time. In the 1880s, Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French engineer who had built the Suez Canal a few years before, attempted to build a canal through Panama by digging straight through the hills but the project failed.
In 1903 Panama became an independent(独立) country and allowed the United States to build a canal on its land. The two countries signed a treaty which not only gave the Americans the right to control the canal but also gave them land on which the canal was built. The Americans decided to build a canal that depended on locks because they thought it would be cheaper and easier to build. It took about 10 years to build the Panama Canal and up to 40,000 men worked on the project.
Even though diseases like yellow fever (黄热病) and malaria (疟疾) could already be cured at that time, thousands of workers died in the jungle of Panama. In 1914 the construction ended and the canal was officially opened.
The Canal Zone (运河区) became a kind of American colony and led to many problems between America and Panama in the 20th century. Many people of Panama did not want the Americans in their country. In 1977 the United States and Panama signed a new agreement and on December 31, 1999, the USA handed the Canal Zone over to the Panamanian government. Today, Panama operates the canal but the United States still has the right to defend it in times of war.
The Panama Canal is very important for the world’s economy. About 12,000 ships and 200 million tons of goods pass through the canal every year. However, the canal has become too small and big freighters (货船) and supertankers cannot travel through it. Panama and the United States are planning to make the canal bigger so that larger ships can pass through.
( )66. What can we learn about the Ferdinand de Lesseps from the first paragraph?
A. Ferdinand de Lesseps was an American engineer.
B. Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French engineer failed to build the Suez Canal.
C. Ferdinand de Lesseps tried to build a canal through Panama but did not succeed. D. Ferdinand de Lesseps succeeded in building a canal through Panama.
( )67. The word “construction” in paragraph 3 means _______.
A. command B. building C. explanation D. outline
( )68. According to the first treaty between Panama and America, we can know that _______.
A. Panama was ruled by America
B. America had the right to control the canal and to build it in Panama
C. Panama controlled the canal but had no right to build it
D. Panama operated the canal but the United States had the right to defend it in times of war.
( )69. Which of the following is disagreement with the passage?
A. Up to 40,000 men worked on the project of building the Panama Canal.
B. About 12,000 ships and 200 million tons of goods travel by the canal every year.
C. Panama is planning to make the canal bigger by itself.
D. The Canal Zone brought many problems between America and Panama in the 20th century.
( )70. What is the best title of the passage?
A. History of the Panama Canal.
B. The Conflict Between Panama and America.
C. How was Panama Canal Completed?

四、阅读理解(本题30 分, 每小题2分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给四个选项中,选出一个最佳答案。
A
My teenage son Karl became withdrawn after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six
falling grades for the year. I considered he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. “Please God, I can’t do anything more for my son. I’m at the end of my rope. I’m giving the whole thing up to you.”
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. “I want to talk to you about Karl’s absences.” Before he could say another word, I choked up and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. “I love my son but I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It’s out of my hands.” For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, “Thank you for your time”, and hung up. Karl’s next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were astonished at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?” I nodded. “That was me. I thought I’d play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That’s when I knew I had to make you proud.”

People have dreamed of connecting the two oceans for a long time. In the 1880s, Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French engineer who had built the Suez Canal a few years before, attempted to build a canal through Panama by digging straight through the hills but the project failed.
In 1903 Panama became an independent(独立) country and allowed the United States to build a canal on its land. The two countries signed a treaty which not only gave the Americans the right to control the canal but also gave them land on which the canal was built. The Americans decided to build a canal that depended on locks because they thought it would be cheaper and easier to build. It took about 10 years to build the Panama Canal and up to 40,000 men worked on the project.
Even though diseases like yellow fever (黄热病) and malaria (疟疾) could already be cured at that time, thousands of workers died in the jungle of Panama. In 1914 the construction ended and the canal was officially opened.
The Canal Zone (运河区) became a kind of American colony and led to many problems between America and Panama in the 20th century. Many people of Panama did not want the Americans in their country. In 1977 the United States and Panama signed a new agreement and on December 31, 1999, the USA handed the Canal Zone over to the Panamanian government. Today, Panama operates the canal but the United States still has the right to defend it in times of war.
The Panama Canal is very important for the world’s economy. About 12,000 ships and 200 million tons of goods pass through the canal every year. However, the canal has become too small and big freighters (货船) and supertankers cannot travel through it. Panama and the United States are planning to make the canal bigger so that larger ships can pass through.
( )66. What can we learn about the Ferdinand de Lesseps from the first paragraph?
A. Ferdinand de Lesseps was an American engineer.
B. Ferdinand de Lesseps, a French engineer failed to build the Suez Canal.
C. Ferdinand de Lesseps tried to build a canal through Panama but did not succeed. D. Ferdinand de Lesseps succeeded in building a canal through Panama.
( )67. The word “construction” in paragraph 3 means _______.
A. command B. building C. explanation D. outline
( )68. According to the first treaty between Panama and America, we can know that _______.
A. Panama was ruled by America
B. America had the right to control the canal and to build it in Panama
C. Panama controlled the canal but had no right to build it
D. Panama operated the canal but the United States had the right to defend it in times of war.
( )69. Which of the following is disagreement with the passage?
A. Up to 40,000 men worked on the project of building the Panama Canal.
B. About 12,000 ships and 200 million tons of goods travel by the canal every year.
