Mary had a yellow dress Bought from the department store. It looked as beautiful as the moon, And as bright as the sun.
Mary wore all the time The yellow dress I felt so right. Every day from day to night I saw her in the dress so bright.
“Buy me a yellow dress,” I cried to Mom and Dad, “As beautiful and bright As the dress the girl living near has!”
I cried and cried and cried, Until they said with sad eyes, “We need food for your baby sister, And clothes for your coming brother.”
Since then I’ve learned Mary’s yellow dress Is better to dream of Than to ask for. ( ) 44. From the poem, we know that Mary and the writer may be ____________. A. classmates B. relatives C. neighbours D. sisters ( ) 45. Why does the writer say, “Every day from day to night / I saw her in the dress so bright”? A. The writer lived with Mary. B.

C It is believed in some ways that the daughter is father’s lover. But my experience has taught me in a different way. For a long time, my father has been a very vague (模糊的) figure to me. He was a man of few words, tall but slim and nothing else. When I was in primary school, my father was never there to pick me up, and he never came to any of my parent-teacher meetings. He was always busy doing projects. I remember when I was in middle school and my head was badly hurt in a PE class. During my operation, my father was still busy with his work. This hurt me most. At that moment, I thought my father as a cold-blooded man who did not care about me at all. But things seemed different. I would give a speech at my high school graduation ceremony (毕业典礼). My father, once again, couldn’t attend it because he had a business trip in a place outside the city. “Don’t come. I will be nervous if I see you.” I told him. I remember my speech was a success. After the ceremony, I was about to leave, I suddenly noticed a man sitting in a corne r of the hall. It was my father! I was so surprised that I rushed to him with tears running down my face. “Well done.” he said. His eyes were also filled with tears. Later, I knew that my father had managed to finish his work by staying up late, and he drove for eight hours to get back. He sat in the corner because he didn’t want me to see him. My father remembered every word in my speech. For much of my life, I described my father was a cold-blooded man who only cared about his work. But when I thought deeply about this, it was clearly not true. At my graduation ceremony I could feel my father’s deep love. The fact is that seeing is not believing, and seeing may not be the fact if we don’t perceive (感知) the world with our hearts and minds. Life is full of love, but sometimes our eyes have trouble seeing it. ( ) 47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage? A. The writer’s father was in the hospital during her operation. B. The writer’s father attended her high school graduation ceremony. C. The writer’s father sometimes picked her up when she was in primary school. D.

A. she gave a speech successfully B. the graduation ceremony was over C. she was so nervous that she couldn't help crying D. she was touched to find her father cared about her ( ) 49. What does the underlined word “this” in the last paragraph refer to (指代) ? A. That my father was always doin g projects. B. That my father was a cold-blooded man. C. That my father sat in the corner of the hall. D. That my father’s eyes were filled with tears. ( ) 50. What’s the best title of the passage? A. My busy father B. Life is full of love C. Seeing is not believing D. A wonderful speech D Mrs. Kao couldn’t sleep well. How could she? Winnie said she would be home before eleven, but it was nearly twelve. Where was she? Mrs. Kao called her on her mobile phone. No one answered. She got out of bed, put on a jacket and went to the living room. Terry walked out of his room and asked, “What’s wrong, Mum? Oh, is Dad coming home tonight?” “No. Tomorrow. I’m waiting for your sister.” Terry went back to his room and studied. He had a very important exam the next day. “Terry is a good boy,” Mrs. Kao thought. “ He’s three years younger, but I never need to worry about him.” Ten minutes later, the telephone rang. “I’m so happy to hear your voice. Where are you? I’m happy that you called. No, don’t take the taxi. Stay at the door of the theatre with Maggie. I’ll come and drive you and Maggie home. Don’t worry. I’ll be there in about ten minutes.” Mrs. Kao took the car key and went out. ( ) 51. How did Mrs. Kao feel before Winnie called? A. Sad. B. Happy. C. Worried. D. Lonely. ( ) 52. Where did Winnie go?
