(2010年江苏六校联考)Throughout the Depression(经济萧条)years，my brothers，sisters and I often heard our granny say，“One of these days，my ship is coming in. ”Of course Granny’s ship was just a dream—her escape from the reality of being poor most of her life. But to us it was very real.
Our family got by with the barest(最少)of necessities. There rarely was enough left over for special desires. So if we wished for other things，we told Granny about them，and she would plan for them to be aboard her ship.
At times we kids worried greatly as to how the ship was going to arrive at Granny’s house in the deep pine woods of East Texas，miles from any waterway. One day when Granny was sitting with us on her front porch，we asked her how she expected the ship to come. Shifting in her rocking chair，she pointed to the beautiful clouds floating in the bright blue sky.
“Why，children，”she explained，“Granny’s ship has big beautiful sails. Some day it will rise up on clouds like those，and come floating right up to the front door. ”
As we grew older，our childish wishes for BB guns，baby dolls and mohair sweaters were replaced by dreams of an education，a job or a lovely wedding. We told Granny of those goals and she put each one aboard her ship.
Granny has been gone a long time now，but I still remember hoe sat with her on the porch scanning the skies. She never told us the name of her ship，but I think perhaps it was “Hope”，for Granny told us to have patience，to reach beyond our limitation，and many of our dreams and wishes did come true.
Even now，sometimes，when the skies are brilliantly blue，with soft puffy clouds sailing along with the breeze(微风)，I look up—to see Granny’s ship. Its sails are full and proud. It is a beautiful ship，carrying a wonderful cargo of many packages of many sizes—all marked“From Granny. With Love”.

(2010年安徽两地三校联考)L’HAYLESROSES，France：Three teenage girls admitted starting a fire in a suburban Paris housing project over the weekend that killed 17 people，including three children，police said yesterday. A fourth girl was held yesterday morning.
The fire in a 19storey building south of Paris was the third fatal blaze in the Paris area in nine days. The death toll rose to 16 after a man died last Sunday in a hospital，where seven others were being treated for serious injuries，police said.
Three teenagers taken in for questioning on Sunday admitted having started the fire for fun，police said. Two of the suspects were 18yearold，the other was 16，police said. Further details were not available.
Witnesses claimed to have seen a group of youths who lived in the building start the fire，said Patrick Seve，mayor of the town of L’HAYLESROSES，near Orly airport，where the building was located.
The fire is believed to have broken out in the lobby(门厅)of the building before raging up a stairwell at least three floors. Some residents jumped from windows as the fire spread through the building’s entrance.
Authorities were investigating possible criminals in an August 26 fire that killed 14 African children and three adults in a Paris apartment building. Three days later, another fire killed seven in a building.
Interior inister Nicolas Sarkozy suggested on French television on Sunday night that copycats(盲目模仿者)were at work. “Each time there is a new story, sometimes that gives ideas to people who then turn into criminals，”Sarkozy said, promising severe punishment for anyone found guilty of arson(纵火).

解析：选D。推理判断题。A项与中内容不符；B项在中没有信息支持；C项错误，并非所有人都死了；D项可由第二段第一句“这是巴黎地区9天内的第三场致命火灾”推出。
5. Why did the teenagers start the fire?
A. They were interested in playing with fire.

(2010年广东惠州市一调)In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and answers are interesting.
One morning, I got into three different taxis and announced，“Well，it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been in prison. ”Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah，I shot a man in Reno. ” I explained，hoping the driver would ask me why，but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver，“Reno？That is in Nevada？”
Taxi drivers were uniform sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America，”a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open. ”He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house. A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope；he refused to take me to the middle of the George Washington Bridge—a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there？Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job. ”
One very hot weekday in July，while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word“BAN”on it，I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. y ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
“Let’s go across the park，”I said，“I just robbed the bank there. I got $25,000. ”
“$25,000？”he asked.
“Yeah，you think it was wrong to take it？”
“No，man. I work 8 hours and I don’t make almost $70. If I can do that，I do it too. ”
As we approached 86th and Lexington，I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
“Hey，there is another bank，”I said，“Could you wait here a minute while I go inside？”
“No，I can’t wait. Pay me no ”His unwillingness may have had something to do with money—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low—but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
【解题导语】 本主要介绍了作者对纽约的出租车司机对乘客的个人麻烦所持的态度的调查——作者谎称自己有各种麻烦，然后观察出租车司机的反应。
11. From the Ghanaian driver’s response，we can infer that ________.
A. he was afraid of the author
B. he thought the author was crazy
C. he looked down upon the author
D. he was indifferent to the killing
解析：选D。推理判断题。由第二段内容可知，当作者说自己杀了人时，没有人表示出惊讶或其他类似惊讶的反应，只有一个司机答话了，而他也只是问具体地点，因此D项正确，即他对此很冷漠。
12. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?
A. Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
B. Because he wanted to go home and relax.
C. Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.
D. Because it was far away from his home.
解析：选C。推理判断题。由第三段可知，当作者告诉司机自己失业，因此感到对生活失去了希望时，他们极力地劝说他不要失去信心。而当作者提出要到华盛顿大桥中央的时候，一位司机拒绝载他，当然是害怕他会自杀。即C项合理。
13. In the author’s opinion，the driver’s unwillingness to wait outside the Chemical Bank indicates ________.
A. the driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally
B. the driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible
C. the driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery
D. the driver thought that the rate for waiting time was too low

A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
B. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
C. They refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
D. They work only for money.
解析：选B。由第三段第一句话以及该段提到的两位司机说的话可知，纽约的司机对失业的人是有同情心的。
15. The passage mainly discusses ________.
A. the way to please taxi riders
B. the way to deal with taxi riders
C. taxi drivers’ attitude to riders in personal trouble
