三、 阅读 (共两节，满分50分)

第一节 阅读理解 (共20小题;每小题2分，满分40分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

My elder brother Steve, in the absence of my father who died when I was six, gave me important lessons in values that helped me grow into an adult.

For instance, Steve taught me to face the results of my behavior. Once when I returned in tears from a Saturday baseball game, it was Steve who took the time to ask me what happened. When I explained that my baseball had soared through Mrs. Holt’s basement window, breaking the glass with a crash, Steve encouraged me to confess to her. After all, I should have been playing in the park down Fifth Street and not in the path between buildings. Although my knees knocked as I explained to Mrs. Holt, I offered to pay for the window from my pocket money if she would return my ball.

I also learned from Steve that personal property is a sacred thing. After I found a shiny silver pen in my fifth-grade classroom, I wanted to keep it, but Steve explained that it might be important to someone else in spite of the fact that it had little value. He reminded me of how much I’d hate to lose to someone else the small dog my father carved from a piece of cheap wood. I returned the pen to my teacher, Mrs. Davids, and still remembered the smell of her perfume as she patted me on the shoulder.

Yet of all the instructions Steve gave me, his respect for life is the most vivid in my mind. When I was twelve, I killed an old brown sparrow in the yard with a BB gun. Excited with my accuracy, I screamed to Steve to come from the house to take a look. I shall never forget the way he stood for a long moment and stared at the bird on the ground. Then in a dead, quiet voice, he asked, “Did it hurt you first, Mark?” I didn’t know what to answer. He continued with his eyes firm, “The only time you should ever think of hurting a living thing is if it hurts you first. And then you think a long, long time.” I really felt terrible then, but that moment stands out as the most important lesson my brother taught me.

31. What is the main subject of the passage?

A. The relationship between Mark and Steve.

B. The important lesson Mark learned in school.

C. Steve’s important role in Mark’s growing process.

D. Mark and Steve’s respect for living things.

32. In the story about the pen, which of the following lessons did Steve teach his brother?

A. Respect for personal property.    B. Respect for life.

C. Sympathy for people with problems.   D. The value of honesty.

33. According to the writer, which was the most important lesson Steve taught his young brother?

A. Respect for living things.   B. Responsibility for one’s actions.

C. The value of honesty.    D. Care for the property of others.

34. The underlined word “knocked” in the second paragraph means ______.

A. tapped      B. beat       C. struck      D. trembled

35. From the passage, we can infer the following statements EXCEPT that ______.

A. Mark benefited a lot from Steve after their father passed away.

B. Mark was not as excellent as his elder brother Steve.

C. The small wood dog carved by his father meant a lot to Mark.

D. Mark used to be a naughty boy in his childhood.
