A.
It was on the afternoon of the day of Christmas Eve, and I was in Mrs. Prothero’s garden, waiting for cats, with her son Jim. It was snowing. Patient and cold, our hands wrapped in socks, we waited to snowball the cats. The wise cats never appeared. We were so still in the snows that we never heard Mrs. Prothero’s first cry from the bottom of the garden. Or, if we heard it at all, it was, to us, like the cry of the neighbor’s Polar cat. But soon the voice grew louder. “ Fire!” cried Mrs. Prothero.
And we ran down the garden, with the snowballs in our arms, towards the house; and smoke, indeed, was pouring out of the dining room.
This was better than all the cats in Wales standing on the wall in a row. We loaded with snowballs, stopped at the open door of the smoke-filled room. Something was burning all right; perhaps it was Mr. Prothero, who always slept there after midday dinner with a newspaper over his face; but he was standing in the middle of the room, saying, “ A fine Christmas!”
There was no fire to be seen, only clouds of smoke and Mr. Prothero standing in the middle of them, waving his slipper as though he were conducting.
“ Do something,” he said.
And we throw all our snowballs into the smoke---I think we missed Mr. Porthero---and ran out of the house.
“ Let’s call the police,” Jim said.
“And Ernie Jenkins, he likes fires.” But we only called the fire-brigade, and soon the fire-engine came. Mr. Porthero gout out just in time before they turned the hose（水管）on.
1. Why were the boys in Mrs. Prothero’s garden?
A. They were about to start a snowball fight.
B. They were waiting to see if there any fires this year.
C. They were waiting to hear Mrs. Porthero’s first cry.

2. The underlined phrase “snowball the cats”( in Paragraph1) means “_______”.
A. make cats out of snow B. bury cats under the snow
C. thro snowballs at the cats D. play tricks on cats
3. When the boys saw smoke pouring out of the dining room,_______.
A. they were joyful and excited B. they were frightened and worried
C. they were sorry for Mrs. Prothero D. they were anxious about Mr. Prothero
4. What does the underlined sentence “ I think we missed Mr. Porthero” ( in Paragraph 6) mean?
A. The boys failed to find Mr. Prothero because of the clouds of smoke.
B. Mr. Prothero was suddenly missing in the smoky room.
C. The boys always remembered Mr. Prothero.
D. Their snowballs did not hit Mr. Prothero
B.
Nathan’s second-hand bike was good enough to get him anywhere he wanted to go. Of course, it couldn’t match Tim’s in a normal speed race, but all the fancy gears in the world wouldn’t get you up Black Mountain. The slope was so steep in places that you had to get off your bike and push.
On this particular afternoon, the odds were all on Nathan’s side. For a start , he was stronger. Tim had always been thin, but recently he’d started to grow so fast that his arms and legs were like pieces of Spaghetti. As well as being considerably fitter than his friend, Nathan knew the shortcuts up Black Mountain. So when Nathan accepted the challenge, he was sure he’d win. He nearly always did, in competitions with Tim. That was what was strange. Tim was so competitive, and yet he wasn’t any good at physical things.
By the time the two boys were three quarters of the way to the top, Nathan was clearly ahead. While the road zigzagged back and forth diagonally up the mountainside, in certain places there were also vertical tracks(垂直的小径), where water rushing down the slope in winter had bitten erosion courses into the soil. These had in turn been so overgrown by bushes and long grass in the spring that they resembled tunnels through the bush. The trick was to know where you could cut off a whole bend in the road by leaving the road and pushing your bike up one of these semi- concealed（半隐蔽的）pathways. If you chose the wrong one you’d struggle up for ten minutes and then suddenly reach a dead end. Then there was no alternative but to go back.
5. What did Tim challenge Nathan to do ?
A. Test who had the faster bike. B. Decide who was more competitive.
C. Find the secret tracks on the mountain. D. Race to the top of Black Mountain.
6. It was sometimes quicker to use the tracks rather than the road because________.
A. the tracks were partly hidden. B. the tracks were easier to ride bikes on .
C. the road had many bends in it. D. The road was overgrown after the winter.
7.Which of the following advantages did Nathan have over Tim?
A. Nathan had a better bike and knew the shortcuts up the mountain.
B. Nathan was fitter and knew the quickest ways up the mountain.
C. Nathan was stronger and more competitive than Tim.
D. Nathan was stronger and had a better bike.
8.The underlined part “ the odds were all on Nathan’s side”( in Paragraph 2) means that “_______”.
A. Tim would not try very hard in the race
B. Tim had not yet grown as big as Nathan
C. Nathan had a greater chance of winning the challenge
D. Nathan had more friends who thought he would win
9.Which of the following conclusions can be drawn from the third paragraph?
A. This would be the most significant challenge that the boys have had.
B. Nathan would be most likely to win this challenge in spite of Tim’s competitiveness.
C. This challenge would be too difficult for both boys.
D. Tim thought this challenge was more important than his friendship with Nathan.
