四、阅读理解(共4题,共 20分)

24、   It is often said that elderly people don’t understand youngsters, while many believe that children are too young to fully appreciate the wisdom ( ) of their elders. But in truth, both groups have a lot to learn from each other.

Sister Geraldine Tan runs the St. Joseph’s Home for the Aged and Hospice in Singapore. It’s mainly a facility (机构) for serving the elderly. But not all of its visitors are senior citizens (老年人).

The home also includes a childcare center for about 50 kids between the ages of 2 months and 6 years old. At the center of the home’s courtyard (庭院), there’s a playground where the elderly can play with the kids. By doing so, they can learn more about each other and gain mutual ( ) respect and understanding.

I think this is quite an interesting idea. For one thing, we live in a world where aging societies are becoming more common. China itself is facing this problem as its population ages. It will be important for young people to be able to understand and care for the elderly in the coming decades (数十年).

Sadly, my own grandparents weren’t around when I was little, as they had already passed away. I never got to learn what the world was like through their eyes, or what kinds of challenges they might have faced when they were my age. Their lives will always be a mystery to me.

But I suppose I can still learn from other people of older generations. I might find some of their ideas old-fashioned, and they might believe that my generation’s way of thinking is strange or incorrect. But we can still learn from each other anyway.

1What is special about the Singaporean facility?

A.It is actually a childcare center. B.Not every visitor is allowed to go there.

C.It accepts both elderly people and kids. D.The elderly help take care of kids there.

2What problem does the world face, according to the writer?

A.Kids are showing less respect for the elderly. B.The elderly can’t understand children.

C.There are more and more elderly people. D.Young people are unable to care for the elderly.

3It is clear that________.

A.Sister Geraldine Tan lost her parents when she was still very young

B.the St. Joseph’s Home mainly serves senior people

C.the writer has no brothers or sisters

D.about 50 kids between the ages of 6 months and 2 years old are in the St. Joseph’s Home

4In Paragraph 5, the writer tells us that________.

A.we should cherish our grandparents B.we should see the world in a more traditional way

C.grandparents face many challenges D.grandparents’ lives are full of mystery

5What opinion might the writer agree with?

A.Elderly people don’t understand youngsters.

B.Youngsters can’t appreciate elderly people’s wisdom.

C.The elderly and the young share little experience.

D.Different generations can learn from each other.

25、I used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled(使劲挤出) her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.

One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship(奖学金). I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” Well, I had to give it to her—she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.

One day, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing”, came a soft reply, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 165cm she would probably never get to play for a top team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten(喉咙哽噎) as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. _____________. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing her own attitude.

The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.

【1】The author was probably the girl’s .

A.neighbor B.friend   C.mother D.teacher

【2】Why was the girl heartbroken?

A.She was considered too short to be a top player.

B.Her coach stopped her training because of her height.

C.She couldn’t be on a college basketball team.

C.Where there is a will, there is a way.

D.Pride comes before a fall.
