stickball,and I was about to go home.“Wait a minute,”Carl yelled.He ran into his house and cameback with a book for me to take home and read.All he said was,“See if you like it.”I said ly nothing.I kept the book for a couple of weeks and then returned it unread.Carl never asked me if I liked it or not.During the following two years Carl lent me three more books.Each time I returned them unread.A few days after graduating from high school,Carl asked,“Benny,which college are you going to?”“Im not going to college.”I said.“Why not?”he asked.“Because my father cant afford the tuition(学费).”I answered.“Is that it?”Carl asked.“Yes,”I said.I lied.I had no intention of going back to school now that I was out.The following day,Carl knocked on my door and handed me a check for seventy-five dollars from his father along with the bookMartin Eden.“I think that should do it.”he said.Once again I was in shock.I was working full-time in my brothers bakery.I attended two classes atWayneUniversitypart-time at night.Halfway through the semester,after receiving failing grades on exams and essays,I decided there was no way I would ever become a good student and get satisfactory grades.I dropped out of college.One day,curious,I picked up the book,thinking Carl was trying to tell me something.Despite difficulty,I pressed on.By the time I finished the book,I understood why:the main character,Martin Eden,had my own poor educational background,but managed to educate himself and become a published author.4.What do we know about the author?A.He often told lies.B.He quit school unwillingly.C.He had thought little of education before.D.He became a published author.5.What kind of person is Carl?A.Caring.B.Emotional.C.Stubborn.D.Cautious.6.What message does Carl want to convey?A.Reading makes a rich man.B.Reading is the journey of the soul.C.Reading makes a person better known.D.Readingopens up new opportunities.7.What is the best title for the text?A.A strong desire

Sutton,a high school senior,went on foot each day from school to his job at a restaurant and then back home.Sutton was determined to work and make enough money to eventually buy his own vehicle.Sutton said hed leave school at 3:30 pm,then walk miles to his job at the restaurant.After his work,which usually lasted six to eight hours,he walked home,sometimes not arriving back until almost midnight.That all changed when Myers saw him walking down the road in the rain in December.“The young man was insistently in a rush walking to work,saying I cant be late,”Myers said.“He begged me to give him a ride.I told him I could take him as far as I was going.I began to create small talk along the way.It wasrevealedto me that his name was Jayden,12th grader,worked 40 hours a week,walked 5 miles to work immediately after school,got off at 10:30 pm at night and walked back home another 5 miles if co-workers didnt offer a ride.”After dropping Sutton off,Myers said his heart and determination filled her with tears.“He was smiling in good spirits and thats a child worth blessing,”she told Fox News.So,Myers shared Suttons story on the GoFundMe page,which raised more than$9,000 from 186 donors.She surprised Sutton with a new car after she managed to convince the general manager to drop the price of the vehicle to meet the budget.8.Why did Sutton work so hard in his spare time?A.To gain working experience.B.To pay for his education.C.To own a car.D.To support his family.9.What difficulty did Sutton have in his work at the restaurant?A.He worked longer than other workers.B.His work was too tiring.C.His job was much less paid.D.He had to walk to work.10.What does the underlined word“revealed”in paragraph 4 mean?A.Known.B.Attached.C.Believed.D.Limited.11.What do we know about the money donated online?A.It could buy more than a new car.B.It was not enough to buy a new car.C.It was given to Myers to buy herself a new car.D It mainly came from a car sales manager.D A former UPS driver and his wife have made history by donating$20 million to Morgan State University the largest gift any historically black college or university(HBCU)has ever received from a former student.The money,pledged by Calvin Tyler Jr and his wife Tina,will fund scholarships that were established under the Tylers name in 2002.Tyler grew up in a low-income family and was forced to drop out of Morgan State University in 1963 because he could no longer afford to study.The following year,Tyler saw a job advertisement in a Baltimore newspaper from United Parcel Service and got a job with the company as a driver.He rose through the ranks during his 34-year career at the global shipping company to become its senior vice president of US operations and a member of the board of directors before retiring in 1998.Tyler and his wife,also a Baltimore native,have lived all across the country but he said they have never forgotten their humble beginnings.Their latest pledge follows a$5million commitment they made in 2016 for the fund,which to date has supported 222 students with full or partial scholarships.Marybeth Gasman,a professor at Rutgers University who studies HBCUs,said the gift is significant because public HBCUs like Morgan State University tend to have a lower alumni giving rate compared to private ones.“For a long time,they werent asking alumni to give,”she said.But that has changed in the past couple of decades,she added,and the schools have“started asking alumni to give and creating a culture of philanthropy(慈善)on campus.”David K.Wilson,the president of Morgan State University,said the money will help students for years to come.“Morgan is so proud to call this son and daughter of the great city of Baltimore our own,”he said in a statement.“Through their historic giving,the doors of higher education will most certainly be kept open for generations of aspiring leaders whose financial shortfalls may have kept them from realizing their academic dreams.”“We are forever indebted to the Tylers”.12.Why is Tylers donation historic?A.He was a former UPS driver.B.The donation is large enough.C.The donation will fund his scholarships.D.He used to be a student at the university.13.What is a driving force of Tylers donation?A.His working experiences.B.His career achievements.C.His promise to the university.D.His past embarrassing situations.14.Which is true about HBCUs according to Gasman?A.They are mainly public universities.B.They are encouraging alumni to donate.C.They rarely accept help from the alumni.D.They have changed little over the decades.15.What can be inferred about Tyler from Wilsons comments?A.Hes helped many city leaders.B.Hes grateful to his university.C.Hes made great contributions.D.Hes proud of his son and daughter.第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分）阅读下面短文，从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项 Its important to develop strong study skills in high school so that you can be prepared for any continuing education
