三、阅读理解

(A)

Dear Amy,

I couldn‟t read your two e-mails until today because my computer was broken. I‟m sorry to hear about your problem, but I‟m glad you‟re feeling better and are recovering(康复）. I‟m surprised that in China someone‟s liver(肝脏) matched yours! This is really a moving (动人的) story - a stranger donated part of his liver to a girl he doesn‟t ever know.

You‟re right. We shouldn‟t care too much about our weight. I‟m happy you stopped taking those weight-loss（减肥） pills. From your photo I can see you are now looking very well in the hospital. To keep slim is important, especially for an actress（女演员）, but nothing is more important than health. Your doctor‟s advice is indeed very good - exercise for at least an hour every day and eat lots of fruit and vegetables.

It‟s not only in your country. It‟s the same here with us Chinese - many people are always going on diets or taking weight-loss pills, which are often dangerous. But in fact, some of them are not overweight (超重）at all. I hope these people can learn something from your story. Hope you‟11 leave hospital as soon as possible. Love XXX

(B)

When I was seven years old, my mom was diagnosed(诊断) with cancer. The doctors told us my mom might be saved with surgery(手术). But it could also kill her. She chose to have it.

The day before the surgery I was off school, and my mom planned the best day of my life, everything I loved at seven and everything that would put a smile on my face. The day began with her waking me up saying, “Kate, I have a surprise for you. Come and see.” The surprise was a doll I had wanted for the longest time. Throughout the day, she told me everything that she thought I would need to know to grow up and be a good person; she told me to be the best I could be and that I would always make her proud. We had a picnic in the park, and it was so cold that we moved to the car. The day was filled with laughter. For the first time in a long time I could see she was really happy. I would never forget her smile, or the way her eyes shone as if we were the same age. It was the best day of my life, and I will never forget the conversations we shared.

My mother managed to live through the surgery. Now when I look back, I realize that the best day of my life could be her last and this could be the last day I would remember with her, the last one we shared. I also understand how unselfish a mother is.

44. Why was the writer‟s mother happy that day? A. Because she left her child a special memory. B. Because she understood her child had grown up.

C. Because she was pleased with what her child had done.

D. Because she wished the surgery to be successful.

45. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph suggests that ______. A. her mother was ill again B. the surgery was unsuccessful C. her mother was getting better D. the surgery was simple 46. Which of the following words best describes the writer‟s mother?

A. Hardworking. B. Famous. C. Rich. D. Great.
