it was still dark.as she was walking, a cyclist came up to her, snatched (抢) her handbag and sped off with it! she ran after him shouting “thief, thief”. a man further ahead must have heard her, or seen what had happened. he was washing a car and had a bucket (桶) of water with him. he grabbed the bucket and threw the water onto the cyclist.the cyclist, who was caught off guard, drove off the pavement and his bike fell over. the other people in the park rushed over and surrounded him. my friend rekha was worried that the people would try and beat him up, as often happens in india, and so she asked them not to hurt him.she bent down and asked the man why he did this to her. he was extremely sorry and explained that he was the son of a poor farmer and that this year their crops had failed. he said that the money lenders had threatened to beat up his father and hurt his family if they didnt pay on time. he said that he was absolutely disappointed and didnt know what else to do. rekha was deeply moved by this story. she could see the boy was young and he was so skinny (瘦的). she looked into the boys eyes and said that she forgave him. she then pulled out some money from her handbag and gave it to him. she told him that stealing was wrong and that he shouldnt do it again. the boy cried and said he had made a terrible mistake and that he would never do that again. 60. the underlined phrase “caught off guard” is closest in meaning to “”. a. unpaid b. unconcernedc. unprepared d. uncertain 61. all the following words can be used to describe rekha except “”. a. kind-hearted b. optimistic c. helpful d. sympathetic62. according to the cyclist, he was badly in need of money to . a. repay the debt b. buy food c. see a doctor d. plant crops 63. what does the author mainly want to show us by telling this story? a. never believe what others say. b. a world without thieves depends on brave people.c. its dangerous for a girl to walk alone in the early morning in india. d. its a virtue to forgive and give a chance to those who want to correct their mistakes. cas long as i can remember, ive always loved to draw. but my interest in drawing wasnt encouraged by my parents. growing up in the 1950s, in grand rapids, michigan, boys were expected to be a sportsman. boys were advised to learn how to play football or basketball rather than how to hold crayons (蜡笔).my early love for drawing developed into a love for telling stories through pictures. stories begin as some pictures appear in my mind. i create a story by asking questions to myself. i call it the “what if” and “what then” approach. for example, for my book the polar express, i started out by thinking “what if a boy gets on that train? where does he go?”from the time i come up with the idea, write and illustrate (为作图解) the book, and deliver it to the printer, it takes about seven months. first, i begin thinking of the idea. then i imagine the pictures and the story. a good picture book should have events that are visually (视觉上) arresting. i first consider scenes that are exciting to look at and then my challenge is to make up a story around those pictures. the next step is putting the pictures and the story down on a piece of paper. when you first look at my picture book, you see ordinary things. but if you look closer, things might not seem quite so simple. when im writing a book, i always try to create something strange or puzzling in each picture. by using some artistic methods, i can give the drawing a kind of mysterious quality and then satisfy the readers tastes. all my books are picture books, so they are generally regarded as books for children. but when i write them, i think of the books as being for everybody for people of all ages. when i was a kid, i had no idea what i wanted to be when i grew up, but now im really glad that i become an artist and a storyteller.64. from the first paragraph we can learn that the authors parents wanted him to .a. be a storytellerb. be a sportsmanc. learn how to play football d. learn how to hold crayons 65. why does the author mention the polar express?a. to introduce his famous work. b. to tell us an interesting story. c. to show his writing skills.d. to show us how he designed his book. 66. the underlined word “arresting” (in paragraph 3) probably means “ ”.a. interestingb. disappointingc. satisfyingd. amazing 67. which of the following is the right order to write a book, according to the author?a. come up with the idea.b. deliver the book to the printer.c. imagine the pictures and the story.d. draw pictures and write the story.a. d, c, a, b b. a, d, b, c c. a, c, d, b d. c, a, d, b 第二节 (共5小题;
