第二部分 阅读理解（满分20分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
About 15 years ago, I taught A Problem from Hell, a book on genocides (大屠杀), to a group of 18- and 19-year-olds in a mid-west university in the US. In my class there was a young man who had spent his boyhood in Bosnia as NATO bombed his hometown. My other students, amazed by his connection to the genocide in the textbook, asked him what it was like to grow up in a war-zone. “A pretty normal childhood as you had here,” he said. “We played cards inside a lot, and when there was no bombing we kicked a ball in the street.”
In the past few years, the world has seen a rapid increase in refugees (难民), with the number hitting 60 million. Viet Thanh Nguyen’s story collection The Refugees reminds us that literature is news that stays news. Set in the Vietnamese communities in California as well as in Vietnam, the stories do not aim to surprise us with new twists or shock us with wonderful details, as war and refugee stories could easily choose to do. Rather, like the young man from Bosnia, Nguyen’s characters tell these stories because they are the only ones known to them.
Included in the collection are two of the most touching pieces, both about siblings (兄弟或姊妹) separated by geography and history. In “Black-Eyed Women”, the narrator (讲述人), a young Vietnamese woman, is visited by the ghost of her elder brother, who died young on the boat when the family took flight from the war. The tale of love and loss, violence and violation, may not be unfamiliar to the reader, but the determination of the brother’s ghost (he has taken decades to swim across the Pacific to reach America) and the sister’s abandoning herself to a half death make the story lasting.
As an echo, the closing story, “Fatherland”, explores a more complex situation between two siblings. The narrator, a young Vietnamese woman, meets her half-sister, visiting from the US for the first time. Adding to the tension is the fact that her father has named the narrator and her siblings after his first set of children. Two sisters, one American and one Vietnamese, yet named the same by the father – it may sound strange, but isn’t it the fate many refugees have to face: a life left behind, that could have been theirs; and a life in an adopted country.
The theme of doubleness – choice and inevitability (不可避免性), home and homelessness, starting afresh and being stuck – is present not only in the stories of Vietnamese refugees, but also of those who have become refugees from their own homes and loved ones. “Smiling at your relatives never got you very far, but smiling at strangers and acquaintances sometimes did.” So a pilot, who fought in the Vietnam war and is now revisiting the country for the first time, thinks while waving at the locals from a tour bus. He’s distant from his daughter, just as a Mexican American in the collection is distant from his wife, or a young man from Hong Kong is distant from his father.
The collection is full of refugees, whether from external or from a deeper, more internal conflict between even those who are closest to each other. With anger but not despair, with reconciliation (和解) but not unrealistic hope, and with genuine humour that is not used to insult anyone, Nguyen has breathed life into many unforgettable characters.
1、The first paragraph is intended to .
A．describe the boring life of war victims
B．appeal to the readers to help war victims
C．criticize NATO’s killing of innocent people
D．introduce the story collection The Refugees
2、Which of the following about The Refugees is True?
A．It tells the news in a literary form.
B．It is full of surprising twists and plots.
C．The author experiences the stories himself.
D．Its characters narrate their own stories.
3、How are Black-Eyed Women and Fatherland mainly developed?
A．By giving examples.
B．Bymaking contrasts.
C．By providing evidence.
D．By making classifications.
4、We can infer from Paragraph 5 that .
A．relatives hate their loved ones for being left behind
B．separation from loved ones tends to make them distant
C．people become refugees due to their double character
D．smiling is a good way to keep loved ones together
5、Which of the following is the theme of The Refugees？
A．Despair, suffering, and regret.
B．Anger, humour and hope.
C．Sympathy, regret, and reconciliation.
D．Dream, hope, and expectation.
6、The Refugees mainly focuses on .
A．the problems of identity, love, and family for refugees

B
I drove a taxi for extra money east of Toronto thirty years ago. Each time a taxi drove up to the front of the Greenwood Racetrack, a group of local kids would run along the sidewalk angling for position by the passenger door. One lucky kid, or rather, the most aggressive one, would open the passenger door and say “Good luck, Mister!” The man getting out of the cab would vaguely say thanks and throw the kid a quarter. It was a routine everybody knew
Throughout the summer, one kid caught my eye. He was bigger than most of all the other kids but pushed away by even the smallest. He never made it but never gave up. One day, his chance arrived. As I was pulling up to the sidewalk, all the kids were pushing for a cab just ahead of mine. The boy saw me and walked toward my taxi. As I positioned the passenger door right beside him, he never paused and opened the passenger door, warmly saying, “Good luck, Mister!”
But the man neither said thanks nor flipped him a quarter. He pushed him aside so hard that the boy fell on the sidewalk. I knew it hurt him badly. I got out in less than 10 seconds, but the man was gone in the crowd. So I looked for the kid. I decided to give him $20 for the effort. By the time I spotted him he was far up ahead, walking away in the opposite direction through the crowd and his head hanging down. When I got the cab turned around I lost sight of him. I never saw him again. I’d like to find him one day and tell him that if only he had stuck around a little longer I would have given him a whole $20.
I learned from this kid that when things seem so hopeless that you are ready to give up, it’s the time when things are most likely to turn around for you.
1、What can we learn from the first paragraph?
A．The passenger was ready to give a tip to the kid.
B．The author was a professional taxi driver at that time.
C．The lucky child was the toughest among the local kids.
D．The driver would work with and benefit from those children.
2、Why did the kid never succeed in opening the passenger door?
A．He was modest. B．He was the shortest.
C．He made no effort. D．He pushed his way.
3、Why did the author get out of his taxi?
A．To catch up with the kid.
B．To encourage the disappointed kid.
C．To give the kid some money.
D．To intend to demand the tip for the kid.
4、According to the passage, which goes with the author’s intention?
A．Never give in to difficulties. B．Sunshine comes after a storm.
C．Face up to competitions. D．Each road leads to Rome.
