I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth.”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter
They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易動(dòng)感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace—it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside--- a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折疊) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
【小題1】The writer began to love her mother’s desk____________.

A．a(chǎn)fter Mother died.
B．before she became a writer.

A．mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter

C．mother cared much about her daughter in words
D．mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
【小題3】The word “gulf” in the passage means ____________.
A．deep understanding between the old and the young
B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter
C．free talks between mother daughter
D．part of the sea going far in land

A．She had never received the letter.
B．For years, she often talked about the letter.
C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.

【小題5】What is the best title of the passage?

Much of the information we have today about chimpanzees（黑猩猩）comes from the research of Jane Goodall.
From an early age, Jane was interested in animals and animal stories. At the age of 10, she was talking about going to Africa to live among the animals there. At that time, in the early 1940s, this was a radical（激進(jìn)的）idea because women did not go to Africa by themselves.
As a young woman, Jane finished school in London and then worked for filmmaker for a while. When a school friend invited her to visit Kenya, she worked as a waitress until she had earned（掙）the fare to travel there by boat. She was 23 years old at that time.
Once in Kenya, she met Dr. Louis Leakey, a famous paleontologist（古生物學(xué)家）. He was impressed with her knowledge of Africa and its wildlife and hired her to help him and his wife on a fossil-hunting tour. Dr. Leakey soon realized that Jane was the perfect person to complete a study he had been planning for some time. she expressed her interest in the idea of studying animals by living in the wild with them, rather than studying dead animals like fossils（化石）.
【小題1】 When Jane was very young, she      .

A．studied chimpanzees
B．was interested in animals
C．told stories about chimpanzees
D．both B and C
【小題2】 In the second paragraph, the underlined word “this” refers to（指的是）    .
A．interest in animals
B．going to Africa to live with animals
C．listening to animal stories
D．talking about animals
【小題3】 Jane worked as a waitress so that       .
A．she could attend school in London
B．she could work for a filmmaker
C．she could have the money to go to Kenya
D．she could buy a boat for herself

Why play games? Because they are fun, and we can learn even more while playing. Following the rules, planning your next move, acting as a team member — these are all “game” ideas that you will come across all through your life. They can help you in different ways.
Think about some of the games you played as a young child, such as rope-jumping and hide-and-seek. Such games are very interesting. But perhaps more importantly, they translate part of life into exciting games that teach children some of the basic rules they will be expected to follow the rest of their lives, such as taking turns and cooperating (合作).   
Many children’s games have a practical side. Children around the world play games that prepare them for work they will do as grown-ups. For example, some Saudi Arabian children play a game called bones, which improves the hand-eye coordination (協(xié)調(diào)) needed in fishing.
The most famous games of all, the Olympic Games, bring athletes from around the world together to take part in friendly competitions. People who watch the event (比賽項(xiàng)目) know that a gold medal is a win for the whole country, not just the athlete who got it. For countries experiencing natural disasters (災(zāi)害) or wars, an Olympic win can mean so much.
Sports games are also an event that unites (團(tuán)結(jié)) people. Football is the most popular sport in the world. People all over the world play it — some for fun and some for a living. Nicolette Iribarne, a Californian football player, has discovered a way to spread hope through football. He created a foundation (基金會(huì)) to provide poor children with not only soccer balls but also a bright future.
Next time you play your favorite game or sport, think about why you enjoy it, what skills are needed, and whether these skills will help you in other parts of your life.
【小題1】What are children expected to learn when they play games?

A．To act as a team leader.B．To follow the basic rules.
C．To train how to move fast.D．To practice rope-jumping.

科目：初中英語(yǔ) 來(lái)源：2012-2013學(xué)年江蘇無(wú)錫育才中學(xué)九年級(jí)下期第一次模擬考試英語(yǔ)卷（解析版） 題型：閱讀理解

Look carefully at the back of a California state quarter. A man with a walking stick is pictured there. A bird called a California condor(大禿鷲)is flying overhead. Who is this man, and why is he so important that he is featured(處于顯著地位)on the back of a coin?

The man on this quarter is John Muir. Even as a child, Muir loved watching nature. As a young man, he spent much of his life exploring the beauty of the wilderness. He walked more than a thousand miles across the country, through fields and woods. John Muir liked writing about the places he visited, describing their beauty.

Muir also wrote about problems. In order to create more farmland for sheep and cattle, many trees were being cut down. This made Muir unhappy and worried, because he knew that trees were important to forests and to the animals that lived in them．Muir believed that nature should be conserved(保護(hù))instead of being changed by human beings. He wrote articles in magazines and newspapers to spread the word about conserving forests. Soon, others began to listen.

Muir wrote letters to important people, such as President Theodore Roosevelt. The president admired Muir’s love for nature. When Roosevelt came to visit Muir in California. Muir convinced(說(shuō)服)the president to go camping with him for three nights under the trees so they could talk about conservation. Later, President Roosevelt set aside 148 million acres of land for national forests and established(建立)five national parks. National parks are large areas of land that are protected from development. This means that people cannot build homes or businesses there. One of these parks is Yosemite National Park, the area that is featured on the back of the California quarter.

Though it has been almost one hundred years since John Muir died, people continue his work today. His work as a conservationist helped us to see the beauty of our natural world. John Muir made us understand the importance of protecting our earth and our resources---then, now, and for the future.

1.Why did President Theodore Roosevelt visit John Muir?

A．Because Roosevelt loved watching nature.

B．Because Roosevelt received letters from John Muir.

C．Because Roosevelt admired John Muir’s love for nature.

D．Because Roosevelt was sad about the problems with farmland.

2.Why is John Muir featured on the back of a California state quarter?

A．Because he walked over a thousand miles across the country.

B．Because he helped people understand the importance of protecting the natural world.

C．Because he wrote articles to spread the word about conserving forests.

D．Because he once wrote several letters to President Theodore Roosevelt.

3.What is the writer’s purpose of writing this article?

A．To advise readers to become active conservationists.

B．To make us interested in the story about a great man.

C．To tell us something about an important person in history.
