Reading Comprehension Passage 1 The day after my high school graduation, I boarded a plane heading for South Korea. My parents had registered me in a cultural summer program at a university in Seoul. For five weeks I was to live in a dormitory with hundreds of fellow second-generation Korean American teenagers. The first week of the program flew by, greatly damaging my self-confidence. My language skills were poor; the natives could not understand me when I spoke Korean. What’s more, I was having a difficult time adapting to the climate. The weather was hot and there was no air-conditioning. I didn’t know where to begin when I called my mother to tell her about my first days, but there was something I wanted to ask since stepping off the plane. “Mom, what does ‘gyo-po’ mean? I asked Grandma, but she didn’t seem to understand my question in Korean. ‘Gyo-po’ is what the natives—taxi drivers, waiters and saleswomen—are calling me everywhere I go.” “It means foreigner, my girl,” answered my mom. As I didn’ want to stand in the phone booth(电话亭) for too long, I got into the habit of writing down everything to tell my parents before calling them. It was boiling both inside and outside the air felt hotter than my own breath. In a letter to my friend, I told her that in Seoul you didn’t move from one place to the next, you swam, as if you were in Africa. “Oh, it means foreigner?” I replied in surprise. I didn’t have much else to say to my mom that day. Nothing on my list seemed important anymore. 46. Judging by the information provided in the passage, the writer was a(n) ____ . A. Korean B. African C. Korean American D. African American 47. “The natives” (Para. 2 and Para. 4) refers to _____ . A. Africans B. Koreans C. Indians D. Americans 48. In this passage, about her stay in Korea, the writer mainly talks about her trouble with _____ . A. the taxi drivers and the waiters B. the waiters and the saleswomen C. her phone calls and letters D. the language and the climate 49. The writer did not want to stand in the phone booth for long because ____ . A. the weather was very hot B. she could not write there C. she wanted to write letters D. calls to the US were expensive 50. The writer was most surprised that in Korea ____ . A. there were no air-conditioning B. the natives considered her a foreigner C. her grandmother couldn’t understand her D. people went to different places by swimming There was a strange girl in my high school whom we all called the Bird. We called her that because of her nervous, birdlike movements. Her skin looked as if it had never felt the sun, and there was usually a red spot in the middle of her forehead. She had thin black hair on her arms long enough to comb, and she wore clothes that had been out of fashion since Shirley Temple’s time. She was so often laughed at that it shames me to this day to think that brave. I’d wait until she hurried by and join the laughter so that the laughter will not turn on you. I remember one day when the Bird was surrounded by three by three or four rude guys who had stopped her in the hall between classes. They were moving their arms up and down like birds and shouting in her ear. She was terrified and there was fright in her eyes. A couple of her books fell to the floor. Then this girl came out of nowhere. I’d never seen such anger in a girl before. She went up to the leader of the guys and shouted angrily, “Stop it! Can’t you see what you’re doing ?” The guys backed off, astonished. Then the girl went over to the Bird and put her arm around her shoulders and walked her to class. I thought about the Bird when I read about Nathan Faris, the little boy who shot a classmate and killed himself after being laughed at by the kids in his school. I thought of how I had been part of her misery, how more than twenty years later it still bothered me. But I also thought of what I had learned that day about respect and bravery, about being a human being, from a girl whose name I don’t even know. And I wonder whether that one act of kindness might have saved another girl’s life. 51. The girl was called the Bird mainly because of her_______. A. outdated dress B. color of her hair C. birdlike actions D. physical appearance 52. The author joined other teenagers in laughing at the Bird because he________. A. feared that they would laugh at him B. did not dare to laugh at her in her face C. shared their opinion of her nervous actions D. was ashamed of her peculiar movements 53.

A. he should have asked the girl’s name B. a kind act may change a person’s life C. the girl had saved the life of the Bird D. boys were not as brave as girls in school 55. What the author learns from the kind girls is______. A. shame and misery B. s hame and kindness C. respect and courage D. respect and love Passage 2 A group of college students were telling frightening stories. Eventually, a girl from a small town in Michigan broke in. “I know a more frightening story than any of those!” she announced. “And the most frightening thing is, this one is true. It happened to a girl my sister knew. ” She began her story. “One stormy evening, the girl went to baby-sit at a house way out in the country. She was feeling a little nervous when the phone rang. When she answered, a man said, ‘Have you checked the child? ’ and laughed strangely. She was scared to death when a few minutes later the guy called again and said the same thing. She checked the child and called the operator to get the calls traced. Soon the operator called back to say, ‘Get out of the house! He’s in the house with you!’ So she got hold of the child and ran out into the rain. Later, the police found this escaped prisoner in the parent’s upstairs bedroom.” “But wait a minute!” called out the girl’s roommate from Iowa. “That didn’t happen in Michigan. It happened near my hometown long ago when my mother was in school. The guy had escaped from a madhouse.” ‘Well, it sounds an awful lot like something that happened near a few years ago to a friend of my brother’s in Colorado,” said another student. “Only the guy actually caught the babysitter.” What’s going on here? How could the same event have happened to three different babysitters in three different parts of the country at the three different times? It is what we call urban legend(都市传奇)，which is the modern version of American folk tales. Urban legends are modern and sound real to us. They are humorous, unexpected, and often frightening, though they probably never happened. 56.The girl from Michigan believed her story to be the most frightening, because________. A. it actually happened B. it happened on a stormy night C. it involved a dangerous person D. it happened far away in the county 57. In the story told by the girl from Michigan, the prisoner_______. A. escaped from the house B. caught the baby-sitter C. was arrested by the police D. a friend of her brother’s 58. According to the girl from Iowa, the guy in the house was_______. A. a runaway prisoner B. an escaped mad person C. a classmate of her mother D. a friend of her brother’s 59. The author uses three different version of the same story to ______. A. illustrate what urban legends is B. show the false nature of the story C. emphasize the truth of the story D. prove life in the county is dangerous 60. According to the passage, urban legends are_______. A. always horrible and scary B. very difficult to believe C. enjoyed by college students D. part of the folk tale tradition Passage 3 By the time she got the box open, Nancy was so excited that she could hardly contain herself. Eagerly she removed the cotton surrounding the small object inside the box, and held it up to the light. It glittered and sparkled(闪闪发光)—made alive by the bright sunlight pouring through the window . Nancy turned the object slowly in her hands, first this way and then that way. It continued to sparkle and shine as if it had a light of its own. She cried out in delight. Her diamond engagement ring had been found and returned to her, just as the woman on the phone had promised. For two weeks, Nancy almost collapsed after losing the ring on the subway. She had placed ads in the newspapers and on the radio, offering a reward for the return of the ring. And, she had almost given up hope when the phone call came. A kind, elderly female voice informed her that she had found the ring between seat cushion(坐垫).She had called, she said, to make sure of the exact address and had promised to return the ring by insured mail the next day. And then she had added sweetly : “There’s no need to send a reward either. I lost my engagement ring once when I was young, and some kind, unknown person returned it to me the nest day. I feel I’m only paying back an old debt of thanks.” Nancy had thanked the finder profusely and asked her name, but the other woman had said it wasn’t important. And, now, here was the ring once again in her hand. She put it back on her finger and breathed a huge sigh of relief. 61. The word “object” in the first and second paragraphs refers to the _______.
