Old George selected his food in the supermarket more carefully than NASA chose its astronauts. When he left the cashier, he was pleased to think that he had saved 80 cents today.
At the exit, the cold wind made him think of his gloves. He looked for them in his coat and pants but could not find them anywhere. He had bought the black gloves at a good price, for just $35, years ago. They were soft and very comfortable. He had taken great care looking after them, so they were in good condition.
George, calm on the outside but mad on the inside, re-entered the store. He followed the same route he had walked before. Several minutes of searching turned out to be in vain (徒劳). His black gloves were gone. “People have changed,” he said to himself. “Years ago, if somebody picked up something lost, they would give it back. Not any more!”
He stared at anybody wearing black gloves to see if they looked like his. On his way to the dairy section, he noticed a lady wearing a pair of black gloves. He sped up and in three seconds was in front of her. But when the surprised woman looked over, his eyes dropped, for her gloves were just far too small to be his. He went over to the cashier to ask if she had received any lost gloves, but she said no. He finally walked out into the street.
A few days later, poor George decided to buy another leather pair. Before getting on the subway, he stepped into the supermarket again to see if by any chance his gloves had been returned to the lost and found office. “What color are they?” the woman in the office asked. “Black,” he gave the same answer. She looked into her drawer and drew out a pair of men’s leather gloves. “Are they?”
“Yes! Those are mine,” George exclaimed, his eyes full of joy.

A. they were a precious gift given by his friends
B. they were bought at a high price in a big store
C. he could not find other gloves as good as this pair
D. he would rather not spend money on another pair
72. When George realized he had probably lost his gloves, he ________.
A. thought someone had found his gloves and kept them
B. was calm and confident that he could get his gloves back
C. thought that there were more thieves nowadays than before
D. looked for his gloves everywhere including in the lost and found office
73. How do you think George felt when he finally left the supermarket without finding his gloves?
A. silly
B. disappointed
C. horrible
D. tired

A. decided to buy a better pair
B. wanted to try his luck

She thought she had something important to do in life because she was _79 alive after the terrible attack. After she finished high school, she took a two-year Hotel and Restaurant Management course because she had enjoyed cooking since she was a little girl.
Mary didn’t shy away from the attention when she was reported on television. “I wanted others living with disabilities to believe it’s _80 to live a normal life,” Mary says. “It is difficult to

An 8-year-old Miami boy, Joshua Williams, is president of his own non-profit organization---Joshua’s Save the World. His organization provides food and clothes for p_81 people and families in Miami and the neighboring areas.
Joshua has r_82 thousands of dollars for his organization. He started to help the hungry when he was just 5. He was in his mother’s car when they passed a beggar. Joshua asked his mother to stop so that he could give him $20. “It’s my m 83 I want to help him, Mum,” Joshua recalled. One year later, he created his organization with the help of his mother and Francine Hanna, a local businesswoman. “He just thought that was what he wanted to do,” his mother said. “And there was nothing that could s_84 him.”
The organization now provides clothing, furniture and food for the poor people in America. At the same time, Joshua never misses a c_85 to encourage other people to follow what he did whether at church or on the streets. Earl Laird lost his job two years ago and hasn’t managed to get a n_86 one. Without money, he can’t pay for the flat and has to live on the street. He depends on food from Joshua’s Save the World. “Joshua is an angel (天使) from God,” he said.
Joshua has won Miami’s“Do the Right Thing” award and the “Kids Who Care” competition, which awarded him a $1,000 note. Even though he has a_87 done plenty, he said that his mission (使命)to provide for the poor is far from finished. “I want to get a team together,” Joshua said. “I want my team to go out and give food to people who have a need for it. I want to spread love to countries in Africa.”
D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)
Imagine the situation. You are driving along a desert or on a
mountain. You have no idea where you are. You passed the last house two
hours ago. Then your car breaks down. It is night and it is cold. You have
no mobile phone. What do you do? Well, next time take a GPS with you.
This invention may be able to help you. It is a device (装置) which uses
satellites (卫星) to find the user’s position (位置). It can find your position to within 20 metres. A GPS cannot start your car, but at least you will know where you are.
GPS, which means Global Positioning System, is a small radio receiver. It looks like a mobile phone. It is sometimes put into a watch or a telephone. We also find GPS devices in cars, planes, or boats. Some of these devices have electronic maps, so you know where you are. For example, in a city they can tell you the name of the street.
There are three parts to the Global Positioning System. The first part is the receiver. You can hold it in your hand, or have it fixed into your car, plane, etc. The second part is a group of satellites orbiting(环绕…运行) the Earth. The receiver contacts at least four of the satellites and calculates its position. The third part of the system is a network of ground stations. They are all over the world. They control the satellites and make sure they are working well.
Some people think that in the future the GPS will be as common as the mobile. They are becoming cheaper and more and more accurate. Also there will be new uses for the GPS. Perhaps they will become like watches. Everyone will have one and you will never be lost anywhere.
88. GPS can help you find your position, can’t it?
89. What does a GPS look like?
90. How many things are mentioned that GPS devices can be put into?
91. Why do some people think GPS devices will be popular in the future?
92. What is the use of ground stations?
93. What is the author’s purpose of writing this passage?
VII. Writing (作文) (共20分)
94. Write a letter at least 60 words according to the given situation (根据所给情景写一封不少于60词的信，标点符号不占格。)

I was a student of yours in Grade Six, and I hope you still remember me. I’m writing this letter because I want to let you know that the school year with you was important and special time.
I know I was very quiet in your class, and you never said much to me. But you did something that made a big difference in my life. You see, all through my first years in schools, I hated to read. Books were just words that had very little to do with me, and I was bored by them. I’ll never forget the first day of Grade Six when you took out a thick book and began to read the story to our class. Your voice seemed to change with the people in the story, and you drew pictures in my mind as you read aloud. Since that day, I couldn’t wait until after lunch when you would read to the class. You read us all kinds of wonderful books.
During the summer after my year in your class, I missed hearing the stories you would read. So one day I picked up a book and read it all on my own. I found out that I could make the words interesting, too. Now, I love to read! Thank you for opening the world of books for me.

If you have been dreaming of becoming an astronaut after you grow up, get started now!
An astronaut needs a strong body and mind. Shenzhou VI astronauts are able to live upside-down. They do this not just during sleep, but also when eating and going to the toilet. Before they flew into the space, they had lots of practice. Each upside-down training time lasted for 20 days.
Chinese astronauts are not only spaceship drivers but also machine repairers and scientists. They have to know every part of the spaceship and how it works. If something goes wrong, they’ve got to know how to repair it. Also they do scientific experiments in space.
Shenzhou VI astronauts know how to live in the wild. They took a knife, a gun and some dye with them into space. If they land in forests, the knife and gun can protect them from wild animals. If they fall into the sea, the dye can colour the seawater around them yellow. This can drive dangerous sea animals away. Astronauts must have strong bodies for their job. They can’t get a headache or be sick. With many things to take care of, they’ve got no time for sickness. Do you still have a long, long way to go?
21. strong, body 22. flew into 23. 20, days 24. spaceship drivers 25. many, things
