(10 points) Several weeks ago, our headmaster, Mr. Gaudi, told us that our school had been chosen to compete on Smart Alecka game show which my best friend Carla and I both love. Carla has a good imagination, 1 I know a lot of history. So we thought wed be good 2 for the team.A few days later, Mr. Gaudi held a meeting with everyone interested in the 3 . He told us that Smart Aleck uses a five member team. He also said that three more people would be needed as backup (替补). 4 , four times that many students were at the meeting. So Mr. Gaudi said we would have a 5 among all the students present and the top 6 scorers would become the team and the backup. Everybody agreed that this was a 7 way to decide.Yesterday, all of the hopefuls went to the dining hall after school. We would have to 8 the starting line-up（阵容）. Mr. Gaudi acted as the 9 . After a couple of hours, all the 10 on the team were set except one. Carla and I 11 for that last position. We had to hold a one-on-one competition 12 the two of us. The winner would be on the team and the loser would be the 13 .Midway through our two-person competition, I was starting to pull ahead. 14 I saw the look on Carlas face. I waited for a second and knew what I had to do. As much as I wanted to be on Smart Aleck, Carla wanted 15 even more. So, starting with my next question, I held back and let Carla 16 , just by a little bit. Her expression as she 17 she would be on the show made up for my not being on the team. And since I will go as backup, Ill still have the 18 of seeing the show up close.Was I 19 by not trying as hard as I could? I dont think so. No one noticed, and Carla and I didnt 20 it. It wont hurt the team because Carla will be a very good competitor on the real show. I think that making my best friend happy was the right thing to do.1、AbutBorCsoDand2、ApairsBchoicesCleadersDfans3、AcourseBworkCplayDshow4、ALuckilyBUnluckilyCImportantlyDHopefully5、AdirectionBdiscussionCcompetitionDconversation6、AfiveBthreeCtwoDeight7、AspecialBhardCfunnyDfair8、AdecideBdrawCpushDmake9、AheadmasterBcoachChostDheadteacher10、AplacesBrulesCnamesDorders11、AtiedBclappedCcriedDreturned12、AofBonCbetweenDamong13、AbackupBaudienceCcheerleaderDmember14、AStillBNeverCThenDAgain15、AusBitCmeDher16、AwaitBturnCmoveDwin17、AacceptedBrealizedCconsideredDrefused18、AlaughterBsadnessCfunDchange19、AcomingBrefusingChelpingDcheating20、AmeanBplanCregretDsaySection II Reading ComprehensionPart ADirections:Read the following four texts.

My mind raced through the list of family members who might need help, but the voice was hardly familiar.“Linda, this is Lesley.” I didnt know Lesley well. We did occasionally speak with each other, but to say we were friends was not appropriate. I asked what she needed. Perhaps something really awful caused her to reach someone she barely knew. Instead, she asked me, “Do you have room for a turkey? In your freezer?” We had lots of room in our freezer, and in fact, too much. “Sure,” I responded, “did your freezer break down?” “Not exactly,” Lesley replied, “but I will explain when I arrive.”Minutes later came a huge freezer truck. Lesley stepped down and explained the lease (租约) of the grocery store her husband serviced had run out and that they had to empty all the freezers that night. Thinking it was a shame to throw away all this good food, they decided to drop off food to anyone she could think of. Noticing our freezer was pretty empty, Lesley asked to fill it up. Our home was their last stop and anything left would have to be put in our freezer. An hour later, everything finished, I asked her, “When will you come back for all this?” Lesley laughed, “We dont want it back. It is yours! Thanks for helping us out!” Then they waved goodbye and drove away.“For helping them out?” We opened our freezer door. Inside were all expensive foods we never bought but often longed to try. We were struggling to buy groceries, yet it was not something we shared with anyone. However, our needs were met in an unexpected way by that call.1、How did the writer feel when she heard the phone ringing?ARelieved.BAnxious.CShocked.DAngry.2、What does the author indicate by the underlined sentence in Para. 2?AThey were short of food supplies.BTheir freezer was not frequ
