阅读理解专题卷2My husband, Tom, is a born shopper. He loves to look at things and to touch them. He likes to compare prices between the same things in different stores. He would never think of buying anything without looking around in several stores. I, on the other hand, am not a shopper. I regard shopping as boring and unpleasant. If I like something and can afford it, I buy it immediately. I never take a time to look around for a good sale or a better deal (交易). Of course my husband and I never go shopping together. Doing shopping together would be too painful for both of us . When it comes to shopping, we go our separate ways. Sometimes I ask my son Jimmy to buy some food in the shop not far from our home. But he is always absentminded. This was his story. One day I said to him , “ I hope you wont forget what I have told you to buy.” “No,” said Jimmy. “ I wont forget . You want three organs, six eggs and a pound of meet.” He went running down the street to the shop. As he ran , he said to himself over and over again , “ Three organs , six eggs and a pound of meat.” In the beginning he remembered everything but he stopped several times. Once he saw two men fighting outside a clothes shop until a policeman stopped them. One of them was badly hurt. Then he stopped to give ten cents to a beggar. Then he met some of his friends and he played with them for a while. When he reached the shop, he had forgotten everything except six eggs. As he walked home, his face became sadder and sadder. When he saw me he said, “ Im sorry , mum . I have forgotten to buy oranges and the meat .

I was working as a practice student at my Universitys Museum of Natural History. One day while working at the cash register in the gift shop, I saw an elderly couple come in with a little girl in a wheelchair.As I looked closer at this girl, I saw that she was kind of set on her chair. I then realized she had no arms or legs, just a head, neck and main body. She was wearing a little white dress with red dots.As the couple wheeled her up to me, I was looking down at the register. I turned my head toward the girl and gave her a wink(刺眼). As I took the money from her grandparents, I looked back at the girl, who was giving me the cutest(可爱的), largest smile I have ever seen.All of a sudden her handicap (残疾)was gone and all I saw was this beautiful girl, whose smile just melted me and gave me a completely new sense of what life is all about. She took me from a poor, unhappy college student and brought me into her world- a world of smiles, love and warmth.That was ten years ago.

This story may have happened not long ago- but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the needy. We served hot food to whoever came in. Most of our dinners looked like they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty. Then, a man came in, who looked anything but needy. He was well dressed. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station , the more I muttered (小声埋怨). What was this man doing? Surely he wasnt going to take food which was meant for those who were really in need!Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, “You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical, hunger, etc. And this gentleman doesnt seem to have any of those problems. But what if his needs are emotional（情感的）? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings? Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man- but I didnt.About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source. I cant help but wonder if it came from that man.Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mothers lesson and try to send kindness their way, no matter how they look. Needs arent always seen. But kindness always makes a difference.13How did the author feel as the well-dressed man joined the line for food? A. Surprised B. Excited C. Nervous D.

It ran into an oncoming vehicle, leaving the occupants trapped inside as both vehicles burst into flames.Bonge was the first on the scene and heard children screaming. He broke through a back window and pulled Mallory Smith, 10, and her sister, Megan Smith,9, from the wreckage.The girls mother, Beckie Smith, was not with them at the time of the wreck, as they were traveling with their baby sitter, Lisa Bowbin.Beckie Smith still remembers the sickening feeling she had upon receiving the call informing her of the wreck and the despair as she drove to the scene.Bozeman and Clemmons arrived shortly after Bonge and helped rescue the other victims and attempted to put out the fires.“I was nervous,” Bozeman said. “I dont feel like Im a hero. I was just doing what anyone should do in that situation. I hope someone would do the same for me.”Everyone at the accident made it out alive, with the victims suffering from nonlifethreatening injuries. Mallory Smith broke both femurs(股骨), and Megan had neck and back injuries. Bowbin is still recovering from a broken pelvis(骨盆), ankle and foot.The rescuers also were taken to the hospital and treated for cuts and smoke breathing, Bonge said.In addition, Bozeman got to meet accident victim Anthony Russo in the hospital after the accident, where Russo presented him with a glass frame inscribed with “Thank you”, Bozeman said. Those involved in that fateful encounter on Highway 6 credited God blessing for bringing them together.“Whatever the circumstances, Tuesdays ceremony provided a time to be grateful for those who put their lives on the line for the lives of complete strangers,” Beckie Smith said, “Were calling it The Miracle on Highway 6.”18 Whats the main idea of the passage?A.

At one time, only related plants could be crossed with each otherBut when GM techniques were developed in the 1970s, scientists were able to put a single gene from a living creature into an unrelated creature.This means they can make crops more productive and resistant to disease by adding genes from other speciesThey can also create food with special characteristics, such as “golden rice”, which is enriched with vitamin A. But many people believe GM foods are a health risk.At the moment, the official argument is that GM foods “are not likely to present risks for human health”. But there are still many questions to be answered as the foods are produced in different ways. Some experts believe the genetic material added to plants can transfer to humans and give damage to our bodies. Further harm could be caused by the genes from GM plants crossbreeding with naturally produced crops People in China are also getting worried about GM foods. More than 70 percent of the countrys soybean oil is produced from imported GM soybeans. Meanwhile, an investigation last November found that 12 of 60 famous foods sold across the country were GM products. The government has begun to introduce a marking system for GM goods so that people can choose whether or not to eat them. 22Which is the best title for the passage?A. Harmful GM foods B.
