My baby has been missing for over a month now, and I want him back so badly, said Mrs. Brown. She said that Clyde, her 12-year-old cat, didnt come home for dinner more than a month ago. Although he was old and weak, Mrs. Brown loved him a lot. The next morning, he didnt appear for breakfast either. After Clyde missed an extra-special lunch, she called the police.When the policeman asked her to describe Clyde, she told him that Clyde had beautiful green eyes, had all his teeth but was missing half of his left ear, and was twelve years old and totally white. She then told the officer that Clyde was about a foot high.Is Clyde your child or your pet? the officer doubtfully asked. Well, hes my cat, of course,Mrs. Brown replied. Lady, youre supposed to report missing PERSONS, not missing CATS, said the irritated policeman. Well, who can I report this to? she asked. You cant. You have to ask around your neighborhood or put up flyer （传单）replied the officer.Mrs. Brown figured that a notice board would work a lot better than a piece of paper on a telephone pole. There was an empty billboard at the end of her street just off the highway. Cars only passed by smoothly between 2 a.m. and 5:30 a.m. The rest of the day, the highway was so full of drivers that no one moves. She took most of the money out of her savings account and rented the notice board with $3,000 for a month.The month has passed, but Clyde has not appeared. Because she has almost no money in savings, Mrs. Brown called the local newspaper to see if anyone could help her rent the notice board for just one more month. She is waiting but, so far, no one has stepped forward.（1）Why did Mrs. Brown keep on looking for her cat? A . Because the cat was old and weak.B . Because the cat was beautiful.C . Because she regarded the cat as her child.D . Because the cat was expensive.（2）What can we infer from the policemans words? A . In fact, Clyde was the son of Mrs. Brown.B . The police would help to report the missing cat.C . Mrs. Brown couldnt find her cat if she put up flyer.D . The policeman was impatient to Mrs. Brown.（3）The underline part irritated in paragraph 3 probably means . A . surprisedB . excitedC . angryD . sad（4）Which of the following is TRUE? A . It was very crowded on the highway between 2 a.m. and 5:30 a.m.B . It cost 3000 dollars to rent the notice board for a month.C . The local newspaper helped Mrs. Brown find her cat.D . Mrs. Brown would give up looking for her cat because of money.2. （10分）阅读短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项。 Long ago there was a man with the name Smith. He made a living on making caps.

The summer vacation is the best time for students. They can go outdoors and have fun. They can go to big cities to go sightseeing, or go to the countryside to enjoy the beauty of nature. However, studies have found that children forget between one and three months worth of school learning during the summer months. Spelling and math abilities are seriously influenced because of the long vacation, while reading is not really influenced by the time off. The most probable reason for this is that most children usually read at least outside of the classroom, whether newspapers, magazines, books, or video game guides. However, their math and spelling skills only get exercised in the school setting.The first summer vacation appeared because the farm children have time off to help work in the fields in the high growing season, but this reason is no longer valid since fewer kids actually work on farms today. Some cities in the United States, such as Los Angeles. Have moved to a year-round school calendar, which will bring less influence in their studies. Most cities still use the normal nine and a half-month calendars. To improve skills and to have a good level of preparation, experts suggested trips to museums, summer camps, and visits to libraries to keep kids active and interested the whole summer.There are other educational systems that provide vacations while still keeping students skills in a high level. For example, in Japan students attend class for seven weeks continuously, followed by two weeks of vacation. This continues go through all the year. In Italy, students attend class six days per week, but finish at 1:30 p.m. each day, so that school does not manage their life the way that it does in America.Educational experts fear that the three-month summer vacation stops the continuity of learning. Just as students get used to new ways in reading, writing, or critical thinking skills, then the summer vacation comes, they shut down for a long period. When they go back to school after the vacation, they take up to two months to return to their previous level of understanding. And so the debate continues: whether to continue the present vacations or to seek changes.（1）The students abilities of the spelling and math are influenced in the summer vacation because they . A . take the summer vacation too seriouslyB . do little work of math or spellingC . dont like spelling and mathD . have to help work in the fields（2）What can we learn from the passage? A . Students may keep reading in summer vacations.B . The United States has stopped summer vacations.C . The summer vacations have no influence on students skills.D . Now most children still work on farm in summer vacations.（3）What does the underlined word valid in the second paragraph probably mean? A . acceptableB . aimlessC . imaginableD . valueless（4）What is the best title for the passage? A . Do we need new Educational Systems?B . Do summer vacations confuse students?C . Should summer vacations be changed or not?D . Should students improve ability in vacations?4. （10分）阅读理解 An old man died and left his son a lot of money.
