We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.

No one likes the mosquito. But the mosquito may decide that she loves you. She? Yes, she. It?s true that male mosquito doesn?t bite(咬) and only the female mosquito bites because she needs blood to lay eggs. She is always looking for things or people she wants to bite. If she likes what she finds, she bites. But if she doesn?t like your blood, she will turn to someone else for more delicious blood. Next time a mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You?re different from the others!

If the mosquito likes you, she lands on your body without letting you know. She bites you so quickly and quietly that you may not feel anything different. After she bites, you will have an itch(痒) on your body because she puts something from her mouth together with your blood. By the time the itching begins, and she has flown away.

And then what happens? Well, after her delicious dinner, the mosquito feels tired. She just wants to find a place to have a good rest. There, on a leaf or a wall, she begins to lay eggs, hundreds of eggs. And then what happens?

At the shopping mall, you probably think about spending, not saving. Think about all the lights that keep the mall bright. Think about all the water faucets (水龙头) in the toilet. Think about all the air conditioning in summer. Saving energy is a hot topic for such a big place!

Many things at the mall use energy. Electric lights, infrared (红外感应) faucets and air-conditioners need electricity to work．One way to save energy is by keeping lights clean. More and more dust and dirt make the lights less bright. When malls keep lights clean, they can use fewer lights and keep the area just as bright. Using fewer lights means using less energy.

You step up to the water faucet. The water starts to flow. You don?t have to touch a thing. Why do malls have such fancy faucets? The answer is simple. They save water. Sometimes people forget to turn the water off after they wash. Infrared faucets turn themselves off.

1. _____ is a hot topic for a big mall．

A．To spend money B．To Save energy C．To keep the mall bright D．To buy things 2．What will the fourth paragraph probably talk about?

A．How to save water when using infrared faucets irl the mall． B. How to save energy when using air—conditioners in the mail． C．How to save money When shopping in the mail． 3．The best title for the passage is _______.

Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she?d said again, “it?s for Elizabeth. ”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.

As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn?t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.

Now the present of her desk told, as she?d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

1. The writer began to love her mother?s desk ______. A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her 2. The passage shows that ______.

A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done C. mother cared much about her daughter in words D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words 3. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______. A. deep understanding between the old and the young B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter C. free talks between mother and daughter D. part of the sea going far in land

4. What did mother do with her daughter?s letter asking forgiveness? A. She had never received the letter.

B. For years, she often talked about the letter.

C. She didn?t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. D. She read the letter again and again till she died. 5. What?s the best title of the passage?

A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mum always found ways to make leftovers (剩余食物) taste good. I went to I1an to learn about some of their special food. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don?t waste food, either, and they use leftovers!

Many years ago, there was not enough food for everyone. People learned to cook and eat almost everything. They had to think of ways to make special dishes. One of these dishes is kao zha. It?s made with leftovers like meat, soup, oil and fat. That might not sound very good, but it does taste good. Today, kao zha is a special dish at big banquets (宴会).

Another famous dish is called zao bing. It?s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn?t want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.

I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the I1an

area—duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don?t usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.

weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty countries receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.

So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for three or five days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for a week or more ahead (提前).

1. Satellites travel __________.

A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere

2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _______. A. clouds form there B. the weather forms there

A. without studying satellite pictures B. before they receive satellite pictures C. when they have received satellite pictures

D. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones 4. Maybe we?ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _________.

Have you ever been ill? When you are ill, you must be unhappy because your body becomes hot, and there are pains all over your body. You don?t want to work, and you stay in bed, feeling very sad.

What makes us ill? It is germs(细菌). Germs are everywhere. They are very small and you can?t find them with your eyes, but you can see them with a microscope. They are very very small and there could be hundreds of them on a very small thing.

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.

Germs aren?t found only in water. They are found in air and dust. If you cut your finger, if some of the dust from the floor goes into the cut(割开处), some of the germs would go into your finger.

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States.

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.

Mr. King examined the car at first and then drove it away. It was five in the morning and there were few cars in the street. At first he drove slowly and it worked well. Then he drove fast. And when he reached a crossing， the lights turned red. He tried to stop it， but he failed and nearly hit an old woman who was crossing the street. A policeman told him to stop， but the car went on until it hit a big tree by the road.

“Didn?t you hear me？” the policeman asked angrily.

“Yes， I did， sir，” said Mr. King， “Since it doesn?t listen to me，can it obey you？” 1. Mr. King is paid more because he _______.

We know the mosquito very well. Mosquitoes fly everywhere. They can be found almost all over the world, and there are more than 2,500 kinds of them.

我们都知道蚊子，蚊子可以飞到每个地方。他们几乎可以在世界各地被发现，并且蚊子的种类有超过2500种。

mosquito bites you, just remember you are chosen. You?re different from the others!

没有人喜欢蚊子，但是蚊子可能会认为她喜欢你。她？是的，她。.这是真的，雄蚊子不咬人，仅仅只有雌蚊子会咬人，因为她需要血液来生殖。她总是寻找她想咬的东西或人。如果她喜欢她找到的东西，她便会咬。但是如果她不喜欢你的血液，她会转移到其他人身上寻找更美味的血液。下次一个蚊子咬你，记住你被她选中了。你是与众不同的。

如果一只蚊子喜欢你，她会藏身在你身上却不被你发现。.她咬的如此迅速和安静以至于你没有任何感觉。在她咬完之后，你的身体会感觉痒因为她从她的嘴中吐出一些东西与你的血液结合。在开始痒的时候，她已经飞走了。

那接下来会发生什么呢？在她用完美味的食物之后，蚊子会感到疲倦。她仅仅只想找个地方睡个好觉。那儿，在叶子或墙壁上，她开始生殖，数以百计的蛋。 2

2．What will the fourth paragraph probably talk about?

A．How to save water when using infrared faucets irl the mall． B. How to save energy when using air—conditioners in the mail． C．How to save money When shopping in the mail． D．How to spend money when shopping in the mall．

3．The best title for the passage is _______.

A．Lights, faucets and air—conditioners B. Spending less money C．Energy saving at the mall D. A hot topic

答案C。本题考查主旨大意。通过整篇内容来看，主要介绍了购物中心节能的情况所以选C。

翻译

在购物中心，你考虑的是开销，而不是收入。想想将商场变亮的灯光，想想厕所里的水龙头，想想夏天里的空调。对于这么大的地方，节能是一个很热门的话题。

商场里的很多东西都需要使用能源。电灯、红外线、水龙头和空调都需要电来运行。节能的办法之一是保持电灯的清洁。当越来越多的灰尘附在电灯上时电灯就会变暗。当商场里保持电灯清洁时，他们可以使用更少的电灯达到同样的亮度。使用更少的电灯也就意味着使用更少的能源。

当你走到水龙头时水就会自动开始流动，你不需要触摸任何东西。为什么在商场里有如此高级的水龙头？答案很简单。他们节水。有时在人们洗完手后之后忘了关水龙头。红外水龙头就将自动关闭。 3

Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she?d said again, “it?s for Elizabeth. ”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.

1. The writer began to love her mother?s desk ______. A. after Mother died

B. before she became a writer C. when she was a child

D. when Mother gave it to her

选C。根据I?ve loved my mother?s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. 可知作者当时还是个小孩子，故选C。

2. The passage shows that ______.

A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done

C. mother cared much about her daughter in words D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words

选A。由But she lived “on the surface ”. 和全文内容可知，作者的母亲表面上很冷漠，但心里充满了对作者的爱，正确答案是A。

3. The word “gulf” in the passage means ______. A. deep understanding between the old and the young B. different ideas between the mother and the daughter C. free talks between mother and daughter D. part of the sea going far in land

选B。从I was “too emotional”. But she lived “on the surface”. 可知此词是指两人之间不同的看法和观点，应选B。

4. What did mother do with her daughter?s letter asking forgiveness? A. She had never received the letter.

B. For years, she often talked about the letter.

C. She didn?t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. D. She read the letter again and again till she died. 选D。根据…a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. 可知应选D。

5. What?s the best title of the passage? A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children C. My mother?s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me

选C。文章的开头I?ve loved my mother?s desk…以及后面的Now the present of her desk told, as she?d never been able to…可知作者是托物思人，以表达自己对母亲的怀念之情，所以最佳标题应是C。

I?ve loved my mother?s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the more wonderful thing in the world. 当母亲坐在书桌旁写字时，我仅仅能够看见它的顶部，从那个时候我就喜欢上了我母亲的书桌。站在她的椅子上，看着墨水瓶，钢笔和白纸，我认为写字一定是世界上最棒的事情。

Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she?d said again, “it?s for Elizabeth. ”

几年以后，在她最后的疾病期间，母亲为我的姐姐和哥哥安排好了所有的事。“但是书桌，”她再次申明，“它是属于Elizabeth的。”

I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.

我从来没看见她生气，从来没见过她哭。我知道她爱我，她表现在行动上。但是作为一个年轻女孩，我想要母亲和女儿之间谈谈心。

They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.

它们从来没有发生过。并且我们之间开始有代沟。我是“太容易动感情”。但是她只是“体现在表面”。

时光流逝，我有了自己的家庭。我爱我的妈妈并且为我幸福的家庭感谢她。我以小心的口吻写信给她，并且叫她让我明白她会以任何方式原谅我。

I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.

我寄出了那封信并且等待着她的答复，却并没有收到回信。

我的希望变成了失望，然后很小的期待，最后，平静——似乎什么都不会发生。我不能确定那封信已经寄到母亲手中。我仅仅知道我写过那封信，我不能试图阻止她变成她不想成为的人。 Now the present of her desk told, as she?d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.

现在，她让她的书桌表明，她很高兴我现在的工作是写作，尽管她从没做到。我把书桌仔细清理好，并且发现一些纸在里面——一张我父亲的照片和一张单页的信，被折叠着而且被看过很多遍了。

Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words. 以任何你选择的方式，是我的信所问的问题的回复。妈妈，你总是选择用行动说明而不是语言。 4

My parents taught me not to waste food. My mum always found ways to make leftovers (剩余食物) taste good. I went to Yilan to learn about some of their special food. As I was there, I learned about the food and the history of the area. I learned that they don?t waste food, either, and they use leftovers! 我的父母告诉我不要浪费食物。我妈妈总是想方设法将剩菜的味道变得更美味。我曾经去过宜兰并了解了他们的一些特产。当我到那儿后，我学到了有关食品的文化，并且了解了那个地方的历史。我知道他们不浪费食物，他们还利用剩菜！

许多年前，物质十分匮乏。人们学会了做饭，几乎什么都吃，所以他们不得不想办法做出可口的菜。其中有一个菜叫烤渣，烤渣就是用剩下的肉，汤，油和脂肪做出来的。这听起来可能不太好，事实却但非常好吃。现在烤渣已成为宴会上的一道美食了。

Another famous dish is called zao bing. It?s made with fruit, meat and other things. I really liked it! But I didn?t want to eat too much. It has a lot of fat in it.

另一个有名的菜叫早饼。它是用水果，肉类和其他一些东西做成的。我真的很喜欢这道菜！但我不能吃太多。它里面有很多脂肪。

I smelled something burning and I saw smoke, so I found another special food of the Yilan area—duck meat. The duck meat is put in a big oven (炉子) to cook it. Smoke keeps the meat fresh. I don?t usually eat meat, but this duck meat was delicious! It tasted sweet.

我又闻到了烧焦的气味，还看见了烟，与此同时我又发现了另一个特别的食物——鸭肉。鸭肉就是将鸭子肉放在一个大火炉里烤。烟就是为了保持肉的新鲜。我通常是不吃肉类的，但是这鸭子肉味道太好了。它吃起来非常好吃。

Yilan is a great place with delicious food. I hope I can come back again! 宜兰真是个好地方，有很多好吃的食物。我希望我能再回来！ 6

Now satellites are helping to forecast(预报) the weather. They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere (大气), because this is where the weather forms (形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(气象学家)

can see the weather of any part of the world. From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.

1. Satellites travel __________.

A. in space B. above space C. above the ground D. in the atmosphere 答案A。参考第一段第二句。

2. Why do we use the weather satellites to take pictures of the atmosphere？Because _______. A. clouds form there B. the weather forms there

C. the weather satellites can do it easily D. the pictures can forecast the weather 答案B。参考第一段第三句。

3. Meteorologists forecast the weather _______. A. without studying satellite pictures B. before they receive satellite pictures

C. when they have received satellite pictures

D. after they have compared the new satellite pictures with the earlier ones 答案D。参考第二段第二句。

4. Maybe we?ll soon be able to forecast the weather for _________. A. one day B. two days

C. five days D. seven days or even longer 答案D。参考第三段最后一句。

5. The main idea of this passage is that satellites are now used in __________. A. taking pictures of the earth

B. receiving pictures of the atmosphere C. weather forecasting D. doing other work in many ways 答案C。参考第一段第一句话以及通读全篇都发现文章是在介绍卫星在天气预报中的运用。

翻译

现在卫星用来帮助天气预报。它们在太空，并且它们能到达地球的任何地方。.卫星拍摄大气，因为这是形成天气的地方。它们把这些图片发送到气象台。因此气象学家能看到地球上任何部分的天气。从这些图片，科学家们也能推断天气如何变化。

今天，在六十个国家有将近五百个气象台接受卫星图片当他们收到新的图片，气象学家把它们

和先前的比较。也许他们会发现，云在过去几小时期间已经改变了。这将意味着地球上的天气可能马上改变。在他们接下来的天气预报中，气象学家会这样说。

所以卫星天气对于气象学家帮助很大。在卫星被发明以前，科学家能够预测未来24到48小时的天气现在他们能预报准确三到五天的天气。不久，可能，他们也许能提前预报一周或更远的天气。 7

什么使我们生病？罪魁祸首是细菌。细菌无处不在。它们很小，肉眼看不见，但在显微镜下可以看得很清楚。它们非常小，在一个很小的东西上就可能有数百个细菌。

Germs are always found in dirty water. When we look at dirty water under the microscope, we shall see them in it. So your father and mother will not let you drink dirty water.

细菌经常出现在脏水中。当我们在显微镜下看脏水，我们就将看到它们在里面。所以你的爸妈不让你喝脏水。

细菌不止只在水中。空气和灰尘中仍然有很多细菌。如果你割破手指，地面上的一些灰尘就会从伤口进入，一些细菌就会趁机进入你的手指。这时你的手指会变大、变红、变疼。有时病菌会完全进入你的身体，有时病菌会完全进入你的全身，让你浑身疼痛。 8

翻译

Jean来自一个著名而富裕的家庭，她聪明而又年轻。她在一所好大学里读书，拥有钱能买到的每样东西。确实是差不多每样东西。但是Jean的家人们都很忙，几乎没有时间来陪她。事实上Jean感到很寂寞。

Jean经常花很多时间来聊QQ。她喜欢匿名，和一些不知道她的家庭状况的人聊天。她的网名叫Linda，她交了很多朋友，现在都一直保持着联系。

去年，Jean在QQ上交了一个很特别的朋友。他叫David，住在旧金山。David有很多故事和笑话。他和Jean有一个共同的兴趣爱好，都喜欢摇滚音乐和现代舞蹈。所以他们总是花几个小时在QQ上愉快的交谈，有时甚至忘了时间。当然，他们想更多地了解彼此。所以David发了一张他自己的照片，他是一个高大、英俊的带着幸福微笑的年轻男子。随着时间的流逝，他们成了好朋友，经常互送卡片和一些小东西。

When Jean?s father told her that he was going on a business trip to San Francisco, she asked him to let

her go with him so that she could give David a surprise for his birthday. She would take him the latest DVD of their favorite rock singer. But when she knocked on David?s door in San Francisco, she found that her special friend was a twelve-year-old boy named Jim!

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn?t want to hear.

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don?t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don?t show my feelings through words.

根据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。 1. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______. A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected the elderly C. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay 选B。根据第2段中的I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly可知答案。

3. In Jack?s hometown, _______.

A. people dislike being called “old” B. people are proud of being old C. many people reach the age of seventy or eighty D. the elderly are the first to get food in restaurants

4. After this experience, Jack _______.

A. lost his job in the restaurant B. made friends with the couple

C. no longer respected the elderly D. changed his way with older people 选D。根据最后一段中的After that, I changed the way I had with older people可知答案。

5. Which of the following is TRUE?

A. The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience. C. The manager went back to the table and apologized to the couple. D. From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture. 选D。根据第2段最后一句After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry可知A选项不对；根据文章最后一句but now I don?t show my feelings through words可知B选项不对；根据第2段中的I then waked back to the table and apologized to the wife 可知C 选项也不对，故正确答案为D。

当我们一家在2010年从一个中国广东的小山村迁移到美国时，我们不仅带上了我们的行李，同时也带上了我们村庄的规矩，习俗和文化。规矩之一就是青年人应该尊敬老年人。不幸的是，这条规则使我在美国第一次非常难堪。

我的兼职工作是在中国的一家餐馆里当一名服务员。有一次，当我为一对中年夫妇服务时，那个妻子问我食品怎么能这么快被送上来。我告诉她我保证他们能这么快享受到食物是因为我总是尊敬老人。当我说完后，她非常不高兴。我的经理碰巧听到我那样说，把我带到一边给我一个冗长的关于美国人如何敏感并且如何不喜被欢描述的“老”的演说。随后我走到坐姿旁边向那位妻子道歉。当那对夫妇听了我的解释，他们明白是文化的差异引起的误会，因此他们笑了并且不再生气。

在我们中国的小村庄，人们以老为荣。并不是很多人都有七十或八十岁，达到这个岁数的人拥有最丰富的知识和经验。年轻人总是尊敬老人，因为他们知道他们能学习那些丰富的经验。 However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn?t want to hear.

然而，在美国，人们认为“变老”是一个问题，因为“老”意味着一个人就要退休或者身体不好。在这儿很多人试图通过锻炼或慢跑让自己远离衰老，妇女化妆，希望看起来年轻一些。当我告诉餐馆的那对夫妇我尊敬老人时，他们生气是因为我说的话让他们感觉到他们不再年轻。我说了他们不想听到的话。

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don?t respect them any more;

I still respect them, but now I don?t show my feelings through words.

在那之后，我改变了与老人之间的交流方式。并不是我从此不再尊敬老人，我仍然尊敬他们，但是我不会通过语言来表达我的感受。 10

I worked for a short time as a cashier(出纳员) at a restaurant a few months ago. I also helped to clean up the tables when it was very busy. One night, just before Christmas, I found a large black wallet on the floor near one of the tables. I guessed I should check it to find out who was the owner, but I was very busy at the time. And I imagined that if there was something valuable(有价值的) in the wallet, the owner would be back. Sure enough, an hour later a man came up to the counter and asked if anyone had found a wallet. I asked him to describe the lost wallet, and after he described it exactly, I gave him the wallet. He expressed his thanks when I handed it to him. He asked me if I had opened it, and when I told him “no”. At once he opened it and showed that it had nearly $ 800 in cash(现金). He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward(酬劳) for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away.

Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it. But it also came into my mind that I actually saved someone?s Christmas plans by finding and returning the wallet. The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy.

1. Which of the following is true?

A. The owner of the wallet found a twenty-dollar bill gone. B. The writer wasn?t surprised when the man gave her a reward. C. Nothing in the wallet was missing. D. The man was very, very excited when he got his wallet back.

选C。由于作者并未打开钱包，更没有从中取出什么，所以说Nothing in the wallet was missing。

2. The writer returned the wallet to the owner because _______.

A. she thought Christmas was coming B. the owner came back too soon C. she didn?t know there was so much money in it

D. as an honest person, she didn?t care much about money

选B。根据文章最后一段中的Thinking about it later, I began wondering whether I would have been honest if I had known what was in the wallet! I thought that if I had no way to find the owner and no one returned to get it, I might keep it可排除选项C和D。比较选项A和B，再结合文章大意，选B为佳。

3. Which of the following is NOT true? A. The writer accepted a reward of $ 20.

B. The writer regretted(后悔) that she had returned the wallet. C. The writer didn?t return the wallet until the owner came back. D. The writer fell very happy after she returned the wallet. 选B。此题可用排除法来做：根据第1段最后两句He took out a twenty-dollar bill and handed it to me and I was amazed at this. “A reward for your honesty,” he said and then turned and walked away可知选项A与文章内容相符；选项C的意思是“作者直到失主返回来才将钱包还给他”，这显然与文章内容相符；根据第2段最后一句话The good feeling it gave me was worth more than anything could buy可知，选项D也与文章内容相符。

几个月前我在一家餐馆当出纳员。很忙的时候我也帮忙清理桌子。一天晚上，就是圣诞前夜，我发现在一个桌子附近有一个大的黑色钱包。我想我该找出它的主人，但是那个时候我非常忙。并且我想想象如果有很有价值的东西在钱包里，它的主人将会回来。果然，一小时后一个人来到柜台并询问是否有人捡到一个钱包。我让他描述那个丢失的钱包，当他准确描述出来后，我把钱包给他了。当我递给他时他表示感谢。他问我是否打开过钱包，我告诉他“没有”。他立刻打开了它，发现有近800美元的现金在里面。他拿出一张20美元的钞票递给我，我对此很吃惊。“你诚实的一点酬劳，”他说着然后转身走开。

尔后再考虑这件事时，我怀疑我在知道了钱包里的东西后是否还会诚实。我想如果我没办法找到它的主人而且没人回来找它，我可能据为己有。但同时我可考虑到，我通过寻找和归还钱包挽救了一个人的圣诞计划。它给我的感觉比能够买到任何东西还值得。 11

Little Tommy was doing very badly in math. His parents had tried everything—tutors (家庭教师), cards, special learning centers—in short, everything they could think of. Finally they took Tommy to a catholic (天主教的) school.

After the first day, little Tommy came home with a very serious look on his face. He didn?t kiss his mother hello. Instead, he went straight to his room and started

studying. Books and papers were spread (铺开) out all over the room and little Tommy was hard at work. His mother was surprised. She called him down to dinner and as soon as he finished eating, he went back to his room, without a word. In no time he was back hitting the books as hard as before. This went on for some time, day after day while the mother tried to understand what was happening.

小Tommy数学不好。他的父母尝试了一切方法——家教，纸牌游戏，特殊学习中中心——简而言之，一切他们能想到的。最后他们带Tommy去了天主教学校。一天之后，Tommy带着很严肃的表情回家。他没有跟他妈妈亲吻打招呼。取而代之的是，他径直走向他的房间开始学习。书和纸全部被铺开，Tommy在认真地学习。他的妈妈和吃惊。她叫他停下来去吃饭，他一吃完就一言不发地回房间了。很快他就开始像之前一样努力学习了。就这样过了一段时间，一天又一天他妈妈试着弄懂发生了什么。

Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books. His mom looked at it and to her surprise, little Tommy got an A in math. She could no longer hold her curiosity (好奇心). She went to his room and asked, “Son, what was it? Was it the nuns (修女)?”

最后，Tommy把他的成绩单带回来。他很快把它放在桌上然后去他的房间开始学习了。他妈妈看了成绩单，出乎她意料，Tommy的数学得了A。她再也不能把持住她的好奇心。她去他的房间并且问道，“儿子，它是什么？是修女吗？”

Little Tommy looked at her and shook his head, “No. ” “Well then,” she asked again. “WHAT was it?” Little Tommy looked at her and said, “Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren?t joking. ”

Tommy看着她摇头道，“不。” “那，”她又一遍问道,”它是什么？” Tommy看着她说，“呃，在学校的第一天，当我看见被钉在加号上的那个人时，我知道他们不是在开玩笑。

1. Why did Tommy?s parents send him to a catholic school?

A. Because he could eat well there.

B. Because he could earn more about nuns.

C. Because his parents wanted him to do better in his math. D. Because his parents didn?t want him to learn math any more.

选C。文章第1段说Tommy数学学不好，其父母想尽了一切办法都不奏效，最后将他送进了一所天主教的教会学校。

2. Tommy?s mother felt surprised that his son _______. A. was still the same as usual B. ate so much at dinner

C. kissed her hello after school D. worked hard but said little 选D。认真阅读第2段前面几句话，并注意以下信息：After the first day, little Tommy came home…didn?t kiss his mother hello…was hard at work…without a word. 可知答案应选D。

3. “Hitting the books” means “_______” in Chinese. A. 用功 B. 捶书 C. 发泄 D. 振作

选A。根据文章大意和Finally, little Tommy brought home his report card. He quietly put it on the table and went up to his room and hit the books这个句子的语境，可知hit the books的意思是“用功”。

4. The last sentence in the passage shows that _______. A. Tommy felt sorry for the mail B. Tommy was afraid of being nailed C. Tommy didn?t like the plus sign D. Tommy liked playing jokes on others 选B。Tommy学习一直不用功，但自从进了这所catholic school之后，情况就不一样了——整天都发狠读书，结果数学考试也得了A。这是为什么呢？文章在最后道出了其原因：Well, on the first day of school, when I saw that man nailed (钉) to the plus sign (加号), I knew they weren?t joking. 由此可知，Tommy是担心学习不用功会被钉在十字架上。

5. From the passage, we can infer (推断) that _______. A. teachers should be strict with their students B. mistaking (误解) might do good sometimes C. a catholic school is much better than other ones D. nuns are good at helping children with their math

选B。Tommy把the man nailed to the plus sign误解为“学习不用功的结果”，从而一改自己原来不好学的不良习惯，很快就把数学成绩赶了上去。可见，误解有时也可以起到好的效果

Last Friday a storm swept through two villages in the New Territories, destroying (摧毁) fourteen homes. Seven others were so badly damaged (破坏) that their owners had to leave them, and fifteen others had broken windows or broken roofs. One person was killed, several were badly hurt and taken to hospital, and a number of other people received smaller hurt. Altogether over two hundred people were homeless after the storm.

A farmer, Mr. Tan, said that the storm began early in the morning and lasted for over an hour.

上周五，一场风暴席卷了新界的两个村庄，摧毁了四个家庭。七个人受了重伤，他们的主人不得不弃他们而去，十五人打破窗户或毁坏了屋顶。一个人被杀死了，几个受伤严重的被送到医院，还有很多人受了轻伤。在风暴过后总共两百多人无家可归。

一个农民，Tan先生说，风暴一大早就开始了并持续了超过一个小时。

“当我们听到很大声响时，我正在和我的妻子和孩子们用餐。”他说，“几分钟后我们的房子开始从我们头顶上塌下来。我们尽最大的努力爬出来然后发现我的一个孩子不见了。我返回去并发现他，他很安全，但是非常恐惧。“

“I was eating with my wife and children,” he said, “When we heard a loud noise. A few minutes later our house fell down on top of us. We tried our best to climb out but then I saw that one of my children was missing. I went back inside and found him, safe but very frightened.”

Mrs. Woo Mei Fong said that her husband had just left for work when she felt that her house was moving. She ran outside at once with her children.

Woo Mei Fong太太说当她感觉到房子开始移动时她丈夫刚出去工作。她马上和她的孩子们跑到外面了。

“来不及去拿任何东西，”她说，“几分钟之后，屋顶塌下来了。” 士兵们帮助人们从被水淹的区域出来，福利机构带来了他们的食物，衣服并为他们提供住所。

“There was no time to take anything,” she said, “A few minutes later, the roof came down.”

Soldiers helped to take people out of the flooded (水淹的) area and the welfare department (福利机构) brought them food, clothes and shelter.

1. How many homes altogether (总共) were damaged in the storm? A. Fourteen B. Twenty-one C. Twenty-nine D. Thirty-six 选D。根据第一段出现的三个数字14，7，15即可知D为正确答案。

2. Where was Mr. Tan when the storm first began?

A. He was in bed. B. He was inside the house. C. He was outside the house. D. He was on the roof.

选B。根据“I was eating with my wife and children.”可排除A和D，由下文可知C也不合题意。

3. Mrs. Woo and her family didn?t get hurt because _________. A. her husband knew there would be a storm

B. they were all outside the house when the storm became worse

C. she felt the house was moving D. the welfare department helped her

选C。答案即在即在…she felt that her house was moving中。

4. The underlined word “shelter” in this passage means ______. A. something to eat B. something to wear C. somewhere to study D. somewhere to stay 选D。考虑全文意思及最末一段，可知暴风雨过后，房屋倒塌，人员伤亡。人们不仅需要食品、衣物，还需要住的地方。

5. Which of he following may be the best title for this passage? A. A Terrible Storm B. A Lucky Woman C. Good Soldiers D. Clever People

选A。这篇阅读材料主要描述了暴风雨袭击的过程。显然选项A是本文的主旨。 14

Shlander is a man from space. He thinks the people and things on the earth are very strange. He is now writing a letter to his friend at home. Here is part of his letter.

Shlander是一个从太空来的人，他认为地球上的人和东西非常奇怪。他现在正在给他的家乡的朋友写信。这是他的信的一部分。

我现在在一个奇怪的世界，它很漂亮。这儿有很多新东西，也有很多地球怪物。这些地球怪物非常有趣。他们仅仅只有一个头，两只胳膊和两条腿。在他们的头上有薄的黑线。一些地球怪物有棕色或黄色的线。地球怪物的脸上有一个洞，每天，他们把好东西和从树上摘下来的球放进洞里，也往洞里放水。地球怪物走路不是很快。他们在锡盒里从一个地方移动到另一个地方。到了晚上，地球怪物喜欢看一个方形的窗台上的花盆箱，这个箱子非常小，在里面有地球怪物。

Now I am in a strange world. It is very nice. There are many new things here. There are many earth monsters here, too. The earth monsters look very funny.

Linda Evans was my best friend—like the sister I never had. We did everything together: piano lessons, movies, swimming, horseback riding.

Linda Evans 是我最好的朋友——就像我从来没有过的姐妹。我们在一起做所有的事：上音乐课，看电影，游泳，骑马。

当我十三岁时，我们搬家了。琳达和我通过写信保持联系，我们在特殊的日子相见——像我或琳达的婚礼上。不久我们忙于照顾我们的孩子并且搬到新房子里，我们写信的次数更少了。一天，我寄出的一张卡片被退回来了，上面贴着“不知道地址”。我不知道怎样找到琳达。

在那几年，我非常想念琳达。我像和她分享我的孩子和孙子们的快乐。我需要和她分享我哥哥和我母亲去世时我的悲伤。在我心中有一个空位子，只有像琳达一样的朋友才能填满它。

When I was 13, my family moved away. Linda and I kept in touch through letters, and we saw each other on special time—like my wedding (婚礼) and Linda?s. Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often. One day a card that I sent came back, stamped “Address (地址) Unknown. ” I had no idea how to find Linda.

Over the years, I missed Linda very much. I wanted to share (分享) happiness of my children and then

grandchildren. And I needed to share my sadness when my brother and then mother died. There was an empty place in my heart that only a friend like Linda could fill.

One day I was reading a newspaper when I noticed a photo of a young woman who looked very much like Linda and whose last name was Wagman — Linda?s married name. “There must be thousands of Wagmans,” I thought, but J still wrote to her.

当我看报时我注意到一张非常像琳达的年轻女孩的照片，并且她的姓Wagman——琳达丈夫的名字。“ 有成千上万的Wagmans，”我想，但是我仍然给她写信了。她一看到我的信就跟我打电话了。 “Tobin太太！”她激动地说，“Linda Evans Wagman是我母亲。” 几分钟后我听到一个非常熟悉声音，甚至40年之后，笑和哭赶上了彼此的生活。现在我心中的空位被填满了。并且有一件事是我和琳达确信的：我们不会再次遗失彼此！

She called as soon as she got my letter. “Mrs Tobin!” she said excitedly, “Linda Evans Wagman is my mother. ” Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years, laughed and cried and caught up on each other?s lives. Now the empty place in my heart is filled. And there?s one thing that Linda and I know for sure: We won?t lose each other again!

1. The writer went to piano lessons with Linda Evans _______. A. at the age of 13 B. before she got married

C. after they moved to new homes D. before the writer?s family moved away

选D。开始的时候作者与Linda总是一起去上钢琴课、看电影、游泳、骑马等，但后来在作者13岁的时候，作者一家搬走了，两人只能通过书信联系。比较四个选项，显然只能选D。

2. They didn?t often write to each other because they _______. A. got married

B. had little time to do so C. didn?t like writing letters

D. could see each other on special time 选B。根据文章第2段中的Soon we were busy with children and moving to new homes, and we wrote less often 根据文可知，她们之所以没经常写信，是因为她们要忙于照顾孩子，又要搬新家，也就是说，她们没有时间写信。

3. There was an empty place in the writer?s heart because she _______. A. was in trouble

B. didn?t know Linda?s address C. received the card that she sent

D. didn?t have a friend like Linda to share her happiness or sadness 选D。根据文章第3段内容可知答案。

4. The writer was happy when she _______. A. read the newspaper

B. heard Linda?s voice on the phone

C. met a young woman who looked a lot like Linda D. wrote to the woman whose last name was Wagman

选B。真正让作者感到高兴的是当她在电话上听到老朋友Linda的声音的时候。而读到报纸的时候和写信的时候都还只是在猜测，那时还谈不上高兴。

5. They haven?t kept in touch _______.

A. for about 40 years B. for about 27 years C. since they got married

D. since the writer?s family moved away 选A。根据文章最后一段中的Minutes later I heard a voice that I knew very much, even after 40 years…可知，答案选A。 16
