　　(2024·银川二中模拟)“Most people think thirteen is an unlucky number, but not our family，”

　　my Dad always told the story.

　　My four brothers and sisters and I wouldn't be here if he'd been led to any other number.

　　Back in 1941, Dad spent his Saturday nights at “The Nixon”， a dance hall on the corner of 52nd and Market streets in Philadelphia. He could dance the Waltz and do the Jitterbug just as well as Fred Astaire. The girls dressed up and styled their hair like Ginger Rogers. Some wore silver slippers, while the more skilled dancers wore gold. In those days, when a guy wanted to dance with a girl, he had to sign up for a song on her dance card ahead of time — and every guy wanted to sweep Peg Oestreich off her feet.

　　Dad was chatting with his friend when he first saw her walk into the dance hall, attractively beautiful, with dark brown eyes, shoulder-length brown hair and gold slippers. Dad waited in the crowd to sign her card, and they danced to “The Anniversary Waltz”. He fell in love with her completely. If only he could kiss her, just once!

　　New Year's Eve was coming up. Maybe he could hold Peg for the midnight dance! Then he could give her a New Year's kiss. Dad spent every Saturday counting songs and figured out which dance would fall on the magic moment — number thirteen. “That can't be right，” Dad said to himself. “That's bad luck！” Had he made a mistake? Should he sign up for the twelfth or fourteenth? What if he was too early, or too late? On New Year's Eve, Dad ran to the dance hall, but Peg was already surrounded. By the time he got to sign her dance card, only one choice remained — thirteen.

　　At 11：55, Evelyn Johnson, the bandleader, called their song. “Harvest Moon” began to play. Dad took Peg's hand. At that moment, he didn't care if the song lasted until midnight — he was happy just to dance with her. Then it happened. 10, 9, 8 ... The entire dance hall counted down. 3, 2, 1 ... HAPPY NEW YEAR! Peg looked into his eyes, and Dad delivered the perfect New Year's kiss.

　　Mom and Dad started “going steady” that night, which led to 44 years of marriage, five children, four grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren — a growing family that all began with one “unlucky” number.

　　1．Which of the following is the name of a famous dancer?

　　A．Waltz.　 B．Jitterbug.

　　C．Evelyn Johnson.

　　D．Ginger Rogers.

　　2．We can infer from the passage that thirteen stands for ________.

　　A．the order for Peg to dance

　　B．the song to last until midnight

　　C．the dance to honor Peg

　　D．the number to be signed on Peg's card

　　3．The writer's father decided to sign Peg's dance card for “Harvest Moon” because ________.

　　A．there was only number thirteen left

　　B．Peg invited him to dance to the song

　　C．he mistook the thirteenth for the twelfth

　　D．he did it intentionally with some homework

　　4．It can be implied from the passage that ________.

　　A．there would be no the writer without number thirteen

　　B．the song “Harvest Moon” didn't last until midnight

　　C．the passage was written in 1985 when the writer was a father

　　(2024·呼和浩特高三调研)I was in a parking lot when a tall, sincere man with glasses approached me asking for directions. He had a printout of Google Maps from the airport to a hotel on the main street, but just couldn't find his hotel. He clearly didn't have a phone, so after confirming his written directions, I mapped it on my phone and showed him exactly where he needed to go.

　　He mentioned that he had tried going there, but there was no such street number and he just couldn't locate his hotel.

　　I confirmed it again for him. He thanked me with a big smile, shook my hand, and took off. I got into my car and he got into his, and we parted ways. As I drove to the next grocery store and went in, something wasn't sitting right about the directions — so I googled the address again and realized that he was looking for the right address but in a city half an hour away!

　　Unfortunately it had been several minutes, and in the rush hour time, the chance of finding him a mile away where he was surely still looking around — was slim to none. But I thought I'd give it a try and took off in that direction. I'd barely noticed what his car looked like, and was just about to give up. I parked my car as I considered what else I could do when he drove right by and pulled over into a nearby parking spot, still confused about where he was.

　　When I pulled in next to him, he couldn't believe it. “How did you find me？！” he asked. “I'm not sure, but I figured out that you are in the wrong city！” I showed him the hotel information, pulled up the right directions for him, and after more smiles, laughs and a handshake, we parted ways. Likely that we'll never meet again, and that makes it all the more sweet.

　　5．The writer helped the man in the beginning by ________.

　　A．driving him to the destination

　　B．turning to other people for help

　　C．lending the phone to him

　　D．pointing the way for him

　　6．How did the writer find the man again?

　　A．The man drove by and pulled over nearby.

　　B．The man didn't go far in his car.

　　C．He used his Google Maps on the phone.

　　D．He knew what the man's car looked like.

　　7．Which of the following best describes the writer?

　　A．Patient and helpful.

　　B．Wise and serious.

　　C．Honest and brave.

　　D．Popular and outgoing.

　　8．What do we learn from the text?

　　A．The writer knew the hotel well.

　　B．The man must be grateful to the writer.

　　C．The writer told the man the wrong way.

　　D．The man returned to look for the writer.
