A couple of years ago on a hot summer day in south Florida, a little boy decided to go for a swim in the old swimming hole behind his house. In a hurry to dive into the cool water, he ran out of the back door, leaving behind shoes, socks, and shirt as he went. He flew into the water, not realizing that as he swam toward the middle of the lake, an alligator (短吻鳄) was swimming toward the shoe. His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer together. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could.
Hearing her voice, the little boy became worried and made a return to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the alligator reached him.
From the bank. the mother caught her little boy by the arms just as the alligator snatched his legs. That began a tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The alligator was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too determined to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard her screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the alligator.
After weeks and weeks in hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred (留下伤疤) by the attack of the animal and on his arms were deep scratches where his mother’s fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved.
The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy after the injury, asked if he would show him his scars. The boy lifted his pants legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter. “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my mom wouldn’t let go.
1.The boy’s legs were scarred by_______.
A. his mother B. an alligator
C. a farmer D. a reporter
2.What does the underlined word “snatched” probably mean?
A. Kicked. B. Touched. C. Bit. D. Knocked.

A. He didn’t want to see the alligator killing the boy.
B. She was much too determined to let go of the boy.
C. Her nails dug into the boy’s flesh to hang on to the boy.
D. The boy lifted his pants legs to show his scars.

高二英语阅读理解中等难度题查看答案及解析
A couple of days ago, as the test results came out, my son and a group of his 13-year-old friends piled into the back seat of my car, ready for the last-day-of-school party at McDonald's. “Jack got a laptop for getting straight A's, and Laurie got a cell-phone,” one boy said. “Oh, yeah, and Sarah got an iPad, and she's only in third grade,” said another. “And how about Brian? He got $10 for each A.”
I suddenly became concerned. These payoffs might get parents through grammar school, but what about high school and beyond? What would be left after the electric guitar, the cell-phone, and the DVD player?
I saw the road ahead: As the homework load increased, my income would decrease. I saw my comfortable lifestyle disappear before my eyes — no more of those $5 bags of already-peeled organic carrots. No more organic anything!
I started to feel surprised and nervous. Would every goal achieved by my two children fetch a reward? A high grade point average? A good class ranking? Would sports achievements be included in this reward system: soccer goals, touchdowns? What about the orchestra? Would first chair pay more than second? I'd be penniless by eighth-grade graduation.
“We never paid anything for good grades,” said my neighbor across the street, whose son was recently accepted at MIT. “He just did it on his own. Maybe once in a while we went out for pizza, but that's about it.”
Don't you just hate that? We're all running around looking for the MP3 player with the most updates, and she’s spending a few dollars on pizza. She gets motivation; we get negotiation. And what about the primary grades? What do these students get? “When the teacher asked if anyone got rewards for good grades, everyone in my class raised their hands and said they got ice cream cones ,” said one third-grader.
1.What’s the best title for the passage?
A. Tips on Paying Kids for Good Grades
B. New changes in Paying Kids for Good Grades
C. Good Grades Mean Good Rewards
D. Don't Pay Kids for Good Grades
2.What does the underlined sentence in the third paragraph probably mean?
A. Taking care of my children would influence my work.
B. I would spend less money on my children's good grades.
C. More rewards would be needed as my children grow up.
D. Reducing my children's homework load would cost me a lot.
3.It can be inferred from the passage that ________.
A. if you buy children pizza as a reward, they will work harder
B. if you pay kids for good grades, they will take it for granted
C. children will not ask for rewards when they enter high school
D. good grades won't help kids make great progress in the future
4.The author takes her neighbor as an example to show _______.
A. pizza is the best way to motivate children
B. it is necessary to reward children for their good grades
C. getting rewards for good grades is common nowadays
D. rewards are not the only way to encourage children
