三．阅读理解：（以人物传记类为主） A
Thomas Alva Edison was awarded more patents on inventions than any other
American. When he died in 1931, Americans wondered how they could best show their respect for him. One suggestion was that the nation observe a minute or two of total blackout. All electric power would be shut off in homes, streets, and factories. Perhaps this suggested plan made Americans realize fully what Edison and his inventions meant to them. Electric power was too important to the country. Shutting it off for even a short time would have led to complete confusion. A blackout was out of the question.
On the day of Edison's funeral, many people silently dimmed their lights. In this way they honoured the man who had done more than anyone else to put the great force of electricity at his countrymen's fingertips.

C．received more patents than any other American D．was the first American inventor
2．People decided to honour Edison when _____D___. A．he made the first electric light B．electric power was 100 years
C．the country realized the importance of electricity
D．he died in 1931

D．shut off all electricity for a short time
4．Americans fully realized what Edison's inventions meant when they _____B___. A．heard of his death
B．heard of the plan to honour him C．first used electric power D．tried to carry out the plan

B．it was not good enough to express their feelings C．electric power was too important to the country D．it could only honour one of Edison's inventions
B
Wesla Whitfield, a famous jazz singer, has a unique style and life story, so I decided to see one of her performances and interview her for my newspaper.
I went to a nightclub in New York and watched the stage lights go up. After the band played an introduction, Wesla Whitfield wheeled herself onstage in a wheelchair. As she sang, Whitfield's voice was so powerful and soulful that everyone in the room forgot the wheelchair was even there. At 57, Whitfield is small and pretty, humorous and modest. Raised in California, Whitfield began performing in public at age 18, when she took a job as a singing waitress at a pizza shop. After studying classical music in college, she moved to San Francisco and went on to sing with the San Francisco Opera Chorus.
Walking home from rehearsal (排练) at age 29, she was caught in a random shooting that left her unable to move her body from the waist down. I asked how she dealt with the realization that she'd never walk again, and she admitted that at the beginning she didn't want to face it. After a year of depression she tried to kill herself. She was then admitted to a hospital for treatment, where she was able to recover.
Whitfield said she came to understand that the only thing she had lost in this misfortunate event was the ability to walk. She still possessed her most valuable asset—her mind. Pointing to her head, she said, “Everything important is in here. The only real disability in life is losing your mind. ”When I asked if she was angry about what she had lost, she admitted to being annoyed from time to time, “Especially when everybody's dancing, because I love to dance.” But when_that_happens I just remove myself so I can focus instead on what I can do.
1．In which of the following places did Wesla Whitfield once work? A．A college. B．A hospital.
