Ⅱ.阅读理解

A

Jennie and I met in night school. After having completed the required courses, we started teaching in the same school. Frequently we had lunch together.

For a time we were just casual friends, but one day, when I was telling Jennie about my problem son, we discovered we were kindred spirits. “He's a difficult little character，” I explained. Jennie looked thoughtful, “Maybe you're seeing him with your eyes.” She was silent a moment and then added softly, “It is only with the heart that one sees rightly.” I stared at her, “You're quoting that! It's from The Little Prince, Saint­Exupery's book for children. One of my favorites. You know it, too？” Jennie nodded, “I love it. I've read it so often, I've practically memorized it.”

Now, when I think of Jennie, I recall that book, because Jennie—more than anyone I know—possessed the gift of seeing with the heart.

From that moment of a treasured book shared, our friendship grew steadily. It wasn't that I didn't have an excellent relationship with my husband and son. But my mother had died shortly after my marriage, and I had neither sisters nor daughters. I realize, now, how I needed someone to share those little, seemingly unimportant things that add so much to life—things that must be shared to be fully appreciated.

And it was Jennie who helped me with my fourth­grade problem child. One day I__was__at__my__wit's__end. “What he needs is a good beating！” I exploded.

“He's probably had plenty of those，” Jennie said. “Maybe he just needs sincere praise for anything he does right, and a hug or two each day.” I followed this suggestion, and eventually, because of Jennie, I discovered a lovable little boy.

Looking back, I had to admit that she taught me so much, such as how to love spring. One April day I said, “I hate rain！” And I'll never forget what she said, “You can't hate spring rain! It brings the flowers！” So I learned to love spring rain, too, because it did bring flowers—violets, tulips and daffodils.

16. What does the underlined sentence “I was at my wit's end” mean? A. I didn't know what to do next. B. I decided to give up.

C. I was hurt by my son deeply. D. I was very proud of my son.

17. We learn from the passage that the author ________. A. has the gift of seeing with the heart

B. likes spring rain because it seldom rains in spring C. had lost her mother before her marriage D. seldom praised her child in the past 18. How does the author feel about her family? A. No one listened to her seemingly unimportant things. B. She didn't get along well with her husband and son. C. She seldom spoke to her mother. D. She felt quite alone in her family. 19. The passage is mainly about ________. A. how to educate children properly

B. the fact that we should see nature differently C. the influence of friendship on our life D. how friendship begins and develops 答案与解析：

文章讲述了作者和Jennie之间的。从Jennie身上作者不仅了如何孩子，还了怎样欣赏生活。 16．A 句意理解题。由上一的problem child和下一的a good beating可知，作者对她的儿子是无计可施、无可奈何了，其他选项均不合文意。

17．D 推理判断题。由文章倒数第二段中的“Maybe he just needs sincere praise”和“I followed this suggestion”可知，作者平时很少表扬自己的孩子，故D项为正确答案。由第三段可知是作者的朋友有这种用心看人的天赋，所以A选项不正确；作者喜欢春雨不是因为春天少雨，而是因为它给我们带来了鲜花，故B项不正确；C项明显错误，因为作者的母亲是在作者结婚后去世的。

18．A 细节理解题。由文章第四段最后一句可知，在家里没有人能和作者谈一些似乎不重要的事情，故A项正确。

19．C 主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了作者和她的朋友Jennie之间的，及该对作者生活的影响，故C项最合适。

B

There are more than one billion people around the world who smoke. Bill Gates, co­founder and former CEO of Microsoft, wants them all to quit. So does New York City's mayor Michael Bloomberg. This week, the Gates Foundation, a charity organization set up by Bill Gates and his wife, Melinda, teamed up with Bloomberg to donate $500 million over the next five years to anti­tobacco programs.

Bloomberg is no stranger to anti­tobacco plans. He has been fighting tobacco­use in New York City for years. In 2002, Bloomberg pushed for a ban on smoking in all New York City restaurants.

Bloomberg's Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use was created in 2005. It aims to discourage smoking trends around the world by working to change tobacco's image, protect nonsmokers from second­hand smoke, and help people quit. Bloomberg gave $ 125 million to start the program. Now, he is adding another $ 250 million. The Gates Foundation will invest $ 125 million over five years to fight the tobacco epidemic, including a $ 24 million gift directly to the Bloomberg Initiative.

The money donated by the Gates Foundation will support anti­smoking efforts in developing countries where tobacco use is the highest. “Tobacco­caused diseases have become one of the greatest health challenges facing developing countries，” Gates says. In addition to donating to the Bloomberg Initiative, the Gates Foundation will also help prevent the tobacco epidemic from taking root in Africa. “The epidemic in Africa is not well advanced，” Gates explains. “That means that we can catch it at an early stage.”

Tobacco­use kills more than five million people every year. If the trend doesn't change, more than one billion people could die of tobacco­related illnesses this century. Gates and Bloomberg have high hopes to change these statistics. “Together we can make a clear, measurable difference, not just for ourselves and our generation, but for the generations that come after us，” says Bloomberg.

20. The passage is mainly about ________. A. the harmful effects of smoking B. Bill Gates' contribution to the world C. a ban on smoking in New York City D. a plan to stop smoking

21. How much does Bloomberg invest altogether? A. $ 125 million. B. $ 250 million. C. $ 375 million. D. $ 500 million.

22. We learn from the passage that ________.

A. the Gates Foundation is set up by Bill Gates and Bloomberg B. tobacco­use has become a big threat to developing countries C. Bloomberg's Initiative to Reduce Tobacco Use was created in 2002 D. tobacco­use kills more than fifty million people every year

23. What's Gates and Bloomberg's attitude towards the anti­smoking efforts? A. Optimistic. B. Skeptical. C. Opposable. D. Surprised. 答案与解析：

纽约长迈克尔·布隆伯格和微软公司创始人比尔·盖茨在纽约宣布共同捐出5亿美元推广禁烟运动，以帮助发展中国家实施行之有效的禁烟政策。

20．D 主旨大意题。由文章第一段最后一句“比尔·盖茨和他的妻子梅琳达与布隆伯格一起捐献5亿美元用于未来的反烟草计划”可知，本文主要讲了一项禁烟计划。

21．C 细节理解题。由第三段第三句和第四句“Bloomberg gave $ 125 million to start the program. Now, he is adding another $ 250 million.”可知，Bloomberg一共拿出了3.75亿美元。

22．B 推理判断题。由第四段中的“Tobacco­caused diseases have become one of the greatest health challenges facing developing countries”可知，吸烟引起的疾病已经成为发展中国家面临的一个重大的挑战，即烟草的使用已经成为发展中国家的一大威胁。

23．A 观点态度题。根据最后一段中的“Gates and Bloomberg have high hopes to change these statistics.”和“Together we can make a clear, measurable difference”可以判断，他们对禁烟计划持乐观态度。

This summer, I went to my hometown and found it changed a lot.

In the past, ______________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________ 范文：

This summer, I went to my hometown and found it changed a lot.

In the past, my hometown was very beautiful. The river running through our village used to be very clean with many fish in it. Tall and straight trees, beautiful flowers and green grass could be seen everywhere.

Nowadays, however, with the development of modern society, people are living a “happy” life. Many tall buildings are found on both sides of the river, but the river has been badly polluted. More boats can be seen on the river, but there are few fish swimming in it. The living environment is becoming worse and worse!

I think it's time that we should take action and do something to protect our living environment.
