2．I was 10 that year．One cold spring night after I sold my last copy of newspaper at 10：20，I hurried across the street to the flower shop just as Mr．Rocco was locking the door． "Please Mr．Rocco，" I begged， "Will you open up？I just have to have a flower．Mother's Day is tomorrow．I want the most beautiful flower you have．I have a quarter and a dime!"
Mr．Rocco stood there for the longest time，looking at me and rubbing his chin．Finally he nodded，and showed me a plant on the counter． "I can give you this for 35 cents． "But it looks like a weed! " "Now trust me，boy -- I promise that tomorrow morning you will find your most beautiful flower．Now put this paper bag over it and don't get your plant chilled（冻坏）．" He cautioned．
I ran home．Mom was sick with tuberculosis（肺结核）and using the front bedroom．She seemed to be asleep，so I quietly tiptoed （蹑手蹑脚） in and set the plant on the table beside her bed．I wanted her to be surprised when she woke on Mother's day．
The next morning when I looked into Mom's room，she waved for me to come in and then glanced over the table where the plant was．Wow!There was a big yellow trumpet-shaped（喇叭状）flower．It was the most beautiful flower I ever saw!When I looked at Mom，she was smiling as tears streamed down her cheeks．She held out her hand for me to come near，then pulled me close and hugged till it hurt．Then，remembering her contagious condition and that she wasn't supposed to touch me，she quickly let go．
My dear mom died the next night，but the plant has been in blossom all along in my heart．That moment she hugged me turned out to be the most wonderful moment of my life．Not only had that beautiful plant helped show just how much I loved her，but I'd always know how much she loved me．
（1）When Mr．Rocco stood there for the longest time，he might be wondering．
A．whether the plant could come into flower at all
B．what he should say to refuse the boy's request
C．whether he should believe what the boy had said
D．what flower would perfectly meet the boy's need
（2）Why did the writer walk quietly into his Mom's room？
A．He wanted his gift out of his mother's expectation．
B．He didn't want Mom to find his coming back so late．
C．He only earned a quarter and a dime that day．
D．He was ashamed the plant had no flowers on it．
（3）Which word can replace the underlined word "contagious" in the passage？

A．What thirty-five cents can buy．

3．It sounds almost too good to be true，but a new study on sleeping brains suggests that listening to languages while you sleep can actually help you to learn them．
For the study，researchers played recordings of foreign words and their translations to subjects enjoying slow-wave sleep，a stage when a person has little consciousness of their environment．To ensure that the results were not compromised by foreign language words that subjects may have had some contact with at some point in their waking lives，researchers made up totally nonexistent foreign words．
When the subjects woke up，they were presented with the made-up words again without their translations．The subjects were then asked to imagine whether this made-up word indicated an object that was either smaller or larger．This vague（模糊的）way of testing their understanding of the words is an approach that is supposed to tap into the unconscious memory．
Unbelievably，the subjects were able to correctly classify the words in this way at an accuracy rate that was 10 percent higher than random chance．That's not a rate high enough to have them suddenly communicating in a foreign tongue，but it is enough to suggest that the brain is still absorbing information on some level，even during sleep．
Researchers have long known that sleep is important for memory，but previously its role in memory was thought to relate only to the preservation and organization of memories acquired during wakefulness．This is the first time that memory formation has been shown to be active during sleep．
In other words，our brains are listening to the world，and learning about it，even when our conscious selves are not present．
The next step for researchers will be to see if new information can be learned quicker during wakefulness if it was already presented during sleep．If so，it could forever change how we train our brains to learn new things．Sleep learning might become a widespread practice．
（1）Why did researchers use some made-up words in the study？
A．To guarantee the accuracy of the test result．
B．To increase the difficulty of testing information．
C．To avoid the subjects cheating in the experiment．
D．To test if our brain are good at learning something new．
（2）What were the subjects asked to do in the study？
A．Classify what they heard by size．
B．Make up a word to represent"large"or"small"．
C．Repeat the words they heard in the sleep．
D．Imagine the meanings of the made-up words．
（3）What conclusion did researchers draw from this study？
A．Sleep is necessary for a good memory．
B．Memory formation goes on during sleep．
C．Listening during sleep is good for our brain．
D．Learning languages in sleep has better effects．
（4）What will be the researchers' next plan？
A．To train people how to learn during sleep．
B．To prove the existence of unconscious memory．
C．To dig out the reason for unconscious learning．
D．To study the effect of sleep learning on conscious learning．组卷：2引用：2难度：0.6

9． Devi looked through the observation window at the kids below，all waiting in line to get into the pool.She turned to her mother with an angry frown（皱眉） on her face."Mom，they're all little kids!I'm 15 already!This is silly!"
"I know，Devi，"replied her mother，"but you're a beginner，too，and you have to start somewhere!"
Devi had never been to a swimming lesson in her life.Between schoolwork and helping on her grandfather's farm，she hadn't had time for lessons.The closest swimming pool Devi had been to was the duck pool her mother bought her when she was five.Now that Devi was older，her mother had found a new job in the city，and Devi faced a new challenge-school field trips to the local pool.
The first day that Devi went with her class to the pool，she had no idea what she was in for.What could be so difficult about swimming？Devi confidently slid into the water and held onto the side of the pool，expecting to be able to touch the bottom with her feet.But when Devi let go of the side of the pool，she slipped under the water-the whole pool was one big deep end!Devi threw her arm toward the side of the pool and caught the ledge（池壁），out of breath."I really can't swim!Everyone's going to laugh at me!"she thought to herself anxiously.
On the next field trip to the pool，Devi sat on the side on a bench（长凳），frozen with fear.She put a towel over her shoulders，too embarrassed to try again.When she came home，her mother noticed right away that Devi was upset."Honey，I've signed you up for Angela's swimming lessons at the local pool.Soon you'll learn how to swim just like everyone else，she comforted Devi，showing photos of Angela with her prize-winning students.
注意：
（1）所续写短文的词数应为150左右；
（2）续写部分分为两段，每段的开头语已为你写好。
Then came the time for Devi to take her first lesson.
Soon Angela came over to where Devi sat and introduced herself.
