In 1997,12-year-old American girl Caitlin and 14-year-old Zimbabwean (津巴布韦人) Martin became pen friends through their schools. They didn’t realize at that time how their handwritten letters would change their lives.

It all began as a school task. Everyone in Caitlin’s class was supposed to choose a pen friend from another country. All the other kids picked countries like France or Germany, but Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic(异国的) and cool.

Martin lived with his family in one of Zimbabwe’s worst slums(贫民窟) where they shared one room with another family. And a bed was their only piece of furniture.

When Caitlin’s first letters reached Martin, they were simple and general. The two kids wrote about their favorite music and what they liked to do. But as Martin gradually revealed more about his life and his letters started arriving written on pieces of trash, Caitlin realized what the living conditions were like for Martin. Without telling her parents, she began sending money with her letters—$ 20 at a time. While the money was not much to Caitlin, it meant

more food for Martin’s family and enabled him to pay his school fees.

It lasted six years from their first exchange of letters to Martin’s arrival in the United States. With the help of the money from Caitlin’s parents later on, Martin finished his university and got his MBA from Duke University.

Today, Caitlin and Martin aren’t only best friends, but they also share their story in a book called I Will Always Write Back. They want to encourage readers to look beyond their own lives and do something kind for others, which might greatly influence their lives. 26. is from Zimbabwe?

A. Duke B. Caitlin C. Martin D. Frank

27. What does the underlined word “revealed” mean in Chinese? A. 索要 B. 透露 C. 回顾 D. 检索 28. Which is the correct order of the following events? a. They shared their story in a book. b. Caitlin’s first letters reached Martin. c. Caitlin chose a pen friend from Zimbabwe. d. Martin got his MBA from Duke University. A. a-b-c-d B. a-b-d-c C. c-b-d-a D. c-d-b-a

29. According to the passage, which of the following is not TRUE? A. Caitlin chose Zimbabwe because the name sounded exotic and cool. B. Martin lived a very hard life in one of the worst slums in Zimbabwe. C. Martin’s family could get more food with Caitlin’s money in the letters.

D. They had kept writing to each other for five years before Martin arrived in the US. 30. Which would be the best title for this passage? A. The Two Pen Friends B. The Power of Writing C. The Special School Task D. The Money in Letters

When it comes to shopping for clothes, my mother and I have always disagreed on what fits me well. To me, if it zips, it fits. My mom, however, usually tells me I need a bigger size.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to dress like my friends, but my body size made it impossible. When mom told me something didn’t suit me, or I needed a bigger size, all I heard was that my body was wrong.

To avoid arguments, we stopped going shopping together. This continued until I got engaged(订婚) last year and needed to buy some clothes. When I tried on a blouse, my mother looked at me, and I knew what was coming. “You need a bigger size,” she said.

There was no bigger size. I tried to hold back my tears(眼泪). Maybe I could buy it alone, of course, but my mom is my favorite person to hang out with. The idea of looking for a wedding dress without her seemed just as scary as taking her with me. And so the day came. As I tried on a simple white dress, I saw tears in my mom’s eyes. “You look beautiful!” she told me. Nothing could have shocked me more.

This one didn’t zip up at the back and I did actually need a bigger size, but my mother didn’t say that. She just told me how beautiful I looked. In that moment, all the arguments in the past ended. We didn’t buy a dress that day. We decided to see more.

A few weeks later, we found the perfect dress. We both loved it as soon as I put it on.

And during those few weeks, mom and I also found the perfect fit for our shopping relationship. 31. What does the writer want to show in the first two paragraphs?

A. She likes the clothes with zippers while her mother doesn’t agree with her. B. In mom’s opinion, her body is wrong and she is too fat to wear what she likes. C. She really wants to dress like her friends, but her mom doesn’t allow her to do so. D. She and mom always disagree on what clothes fit her because of wrong understanding. 32. Haw did the writer probably feel after she tried on the simple white dress? A. Funny and surprised. B. Shocked and sorry. C. Proud and moved. D. Excited and scary.

33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4 mainly mean? A. I couldn’t shop for a wedding dress myself because my mom disagreed. B. I felt kind of scary when I went shopping with my mother for a wedding dress. C. I felt like shopping for a wedding dress with mom though she thought it was scary. D. I wanted to shop for a wedding dress alone but I couldn’t stand shopping without mom. 34. Which is the besl word to describe the perfect fit for their shopping relationship? A. Missing. B. Embarrassing, C. Understanding. D. Encouraging. 35. What’s the main idea of the text?

A. Praising makes the perfect fit for their shopping relationship. B. Tears sure the best way to end arguments between family members. C. Love is everything in good communication between family members. D. Better communication requires not only love but also a more suitable way. Ⅵ、阅读还原。（共l0分，每小题2分）
