三、阅读理解

A

John, a famous musician, took his priceless antique violin and played it in the crowded subway station. The music from the violin was delicately streaming throughout the whole station. However, during the one-hour play, only six or seven people were truly appreciating the charming music. A three-year-old kid was so fascinated by the music that he forgot everything around. John only got 52 dollars for his work that day.

However, in normal days, when John is about to hold a concert, one ticket can be sold at more than 100 dollars and it is extremely hard to buy a ticket even at such a high price. Therefore, later, many passers-by in the station that day felt deeply regretful for not recognizing the famous musician and missing such a valuable but cheap music feast (盛宴).

I have a very busy friend called Charles. He had totally changed after knowing that his wife came down with incurable illness. He cooked by himself for the family and took a walk with his wife every day. But even so, his wife still didn’t conquer the illness and passed away. After that, he often sighed. Due to his past busy life, he had missed a lot of beautiful time with his wife. But now, it is impossible to make up for it.

But it is no use crying over spilt milk. In our life, we have missed a lot of precious things without knowing to treasure them. The reason is less than simple. We had thought that we could still own them tomorrow.

There was a famous Buddhist monk saying that in many people’s lives, they have only done two things: waiting and regretting. The result is that they were always too late to treasure what they had before they lost it. We would often claim to do something when we grow up, or when we have money or when we become old, etc. However, when we reach the condition we have expected, we could no longer realize our wish, because we have lost it by then.

26．The reason why people often regret may be that ________.

A．they are too busy to notice the beautiful things

B．they are too careless to cherish precious things

C．they are lazy to observe the surroundings

D．they think that it’s none of their business

27．The word “conquer” in Paragraph 3 probably means “________”.

A．fight against           B．prevent from           C．get over                 D．face with

28．We can infer from the passage that ________.

A．the child was good at telling good music from bad one

B．Charles used to be too busy to spend time with his wife

C．it’s never too late for us to make our dreams come true

D．it’s available to make up for what we haven’t done before.

29．How do we understand the underlined parts “waiting and regretting”?

A．won’t treasure what they have until they lost them

B．can’t achieve anything great until they get older

C．are easy to take pride in what they are doing

D．expect to make progress but want to do nothing

30．The best title of this passage is probably ________.

A．Tomorrow Is a Mystery                              B．Don’t Regret for Waiting

Peter: So how are things with Sam?

Tom: Better now. I told him I didn’t want to play computer games all the time. I suggested going to the bowling Club with some other friends.

Peter: And did he want to go?

Tom: He wouldn’t come with us the first time, but then we all told him we had a good time. So the next time he said lie would come along.

Peter: He didn’t want to miss the fun!

Tom: It’s great, and now Sam’s started to go out more. We’ve been to the club a few times and he loves playing bowling. Next week a big group of us is going skating. He doesn’t talk about computer games as much as he used to!

A Farewell Song

No dust is raised on the road wet with morning rain; The willows by the hotel look so fresh and green. I invite you to drink a cup of wine again; West of the sunny pass no more friends will be_______ .

                                                     (Translated by Xu Yuanchong)

Time flies and you will soon graduate from junior school. It might be a little sad to say goodbye to your teachers and classmates. This same feeling was shared more than 1,000 years ago, when the Tang Dynasty poet Wang Wei (701-761) had to say goodbye to his friend Yuan Er.

The poem begins with a beautiful morning scene. After the rain, the road is clean and free of dust, and the willows by the hotel are fresh and green. On this morning, Yuan Er is leaving for a faraway place called Anxi in today’s Xinjiang.

The last two lines are the most well-known. The poet invites Yuan to drink wine because he knows that life in Anxi will be tough. Most cities in China were prosperous (繁华的) during the Tang Dynasty (618-907), but the western areas were quite desolate (荒凉的). Wang thought the journey to the west would be full of hardship. So when Wang says “I invited you to drink a cup of wine again,” he is pouring both his care and good wishes into the cup. This sincere love for his friend made this poem popular back then and it remains today.

50．What did the poet describe in the beginning of the poem?
