It took place at the Biltmore Hotel, which, to my eight-year-old mind, was just about the fancies place to eat．My 31 , my mother, and I were having lunch after a morning spent shopping．I ordered a Salisbury steak．When brought to the table, it was 32 by a plate of peas．I do not like peas now．I did not like peas then．I have always hated peas．And I 33 was not about to eat them now．"Eat your peas," my grandmother said．

"Mother," said my mother in her 34 voice．"He doesn't like peas．Leave him alone."?

My grandmother did not reply．She 35 in my direction, looked at me in the eye, and said the 36 words that changed my life: "I'll pay you five dollars if you eat those peas."?

I had absolutely no idea of the coming 37 ． I only knew that five dollars was an enormous, nearly 38 amount of money, and as awful as peas were, only one plate of them stood between me and the 39 of that five dollars．I began to force the terrible things down my 40 ．

My mother was very angry．My grandmother had that 41 look of someone who has thrown down an unbeatable trump card（王牌）．"I can do what I want, Ellen, and you can't stop me." My mother glared at her mother．She glared at me.

I, of course, kept shoving peas down my throat．The 42 made me nervous, and every single pea made me want to throw up, but the magical image of that five dollars 43 before me, and I finally swallowed down every last one of them．My grandmother handed me the five dollars in a（n） 44 way．My mother continued to glare in silence．And the 45 ended．Or so I thought．

My grandmother left for Aunt Lillian's a few weeks later．That night, at dinner, my mother served my favorite foods．Along with them came a big, steaming bowl of peas．She offered me some peas, and I certainly 46 ．My mother fixed me with a cold 47 as she put a huge pile of peas onto my plate．Then came the words that were to 48 me for years．

"You ate them for 49 ," she said．"You can eat them for love."?

What possible argument could I gather against that? There was none．I ate them that day and every other time they were 50 thereafter．

31．A．grandmother B．sister C．brother D．father

32．A．covered B．accompanied C．replaced D．ruined

33．A．passively B．particularly C．sincerely D．certainly

34．A．warning B．pleasant C．terrific D．bored

35．A．came B．walked C．leaned D．waved

36．A．harmful B．fateful C．truthful D．grateful

37．A．appetite B．doom C．fortune D．criticism

38．A．unacceptable B．uncertain C．unimaginable D．undeniable

39．A．possession B．thought C．reference D．offer

40．A．mouth B．face C．stomach D．throat

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）

阅读下列短文，从每篇短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Dear Reader,

I receive many letters from children and can’t answer them all—there wouldn’t be time enough in a day．That is why I am sending you this printed reply to your letter．I’ll try to answer some of the questions that are commonly asked.

Where did I get the idea for Stuart Little and for Charlotte’s Web? Well, many years ago I went to bed one night in a railway sleeping car, and during the night I dreamed about a tiny boy who acted rather like a mouse．That’s how the story of Stuart Little got started.

As for Charlotte’s Web, I like animals and my barn（谷仓）is a very pleasant place to be, at all hours．One day when I was on my way to feed the pig, I began feeling sorry for the pig because, like most pigs, he was doomed to die．This made me sad．So I started thinking of ways to save a pig’s life．I had been watching a big grey spider at her work and was impressed by how clever she was at weaving．Gradually I worked the spider into the story that you know, a story of friendship and salvation（拯救）on a farm．Three years after I started writing it, it was published．（I am not a fast worker, as you can see.）

Sometimes I’m asked how old I was when I started to write, and what made me want to write．I started early—as soon as I could spell．In fact, I can’t remember any time in my life when I wasn’t busy writing．I don’t know what caused me to do it, or why I enjoyed it, but I think children often find pleasure and satisfaction in trying to set their thoughts down on paper, either in words or in pictures．I was no good at drawing, so I used words instead．As I grew older, I found that writing can be a way of earning a living.

Some of my readers want me to visit their school．Some want me to send a picture, or an autograph, or a book．And some ask questions about my family and my animals and my pets．Much as I’d like to, I can’t go visiting．I can’t send books, either—you can f
