He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid thathe ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked, "Are these yours?" "Yes, Sir." the farmer answered timidly (胆怯地). "Have you killed the man?" "No, no, Sir." the farmer said in a hurry. "When did you see the dead man?" "About seven last evening." "Did you see who killed the man?" "No, Sir." The officer brought out a knife and asked, "Have you seen it yet?" "No, sir."

He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was 75, he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground.As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was 75 and expected to live to be 100, and the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at 75. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening”, he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was 75 and had a daily injection in his neck.Within a week Johnson received thousands of letters from all over Britain, asking him for the secret of his daily injection.6.

The bookstore is open 24 hours a day．Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’works．So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there．Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars．All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money bythemselves．So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbs and a label-maker．In order to catch passers-by’s attention，the billboards(广告牌）of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself．With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit．9．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The world’s smallest bookstore．B．A strange way of selling books．C．The popular books nowadays．D．The popular bookstores in the world．10．Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?

James Watt from a worker‟s family made the world first widely used steam engine. Atfirst, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.12.

AGreat Activities for Nature LoversHikingOne of the easiest and most accessible ways to get close to nature is by setting out on a good old fashioned hike. Hiking generally doesn't require any fancy equipment or special skills, just a piece of map and a thirst for adventure. This activity can be as relaxing as you make it.Backcountry CampingWhy limit yourself to just a day hike when you can have a full weekend for a longer adventure? Backcountry camping involves packing your tent, sleeping gear, food, and water on your back to set up camp in a remote location. If you’re an experienced hiker and camper, this is an excellent way to test your survival skills and explore the wilderness.Mountain and Road BikingBiking allows you to cover more ground and travel farther in nature, unlike long hikes through the woods and backcountry camping. Mountain biking typically involves riding up and down steep slopes, between trees, and over rocks. If this sounds too intense or your tires aren't suited for rugged terrain( 地形) , consider taking a road bike on paved trails through forest preserves or along country roads.GardeningContrary to popular belief, you don't have to travel beyond your own backyard toexperience the beauty of nature every day. If your personality is less adventurous or your mobility restricted, consider planting a garden to grow your own vegetables , fruit , herbs，or flowers. There's something truly satisfying about mixing up a salad with fresh ingredients you grow yourself. One of the best parts about spending time in gardening is that it doesn't have to break your budget and anyone can do it.1．What do hikers need for hiking?A．Practical skills. B．Necessary equipment.C．A useful map. D．A relaxed mood.2．What's NOT the advantage of gardening according to the text?A. It’s easy to start it for anyone who likes it.B．It doesn't take any energy or money to do it.C．You don't need to go far to enjoy the beauty of nature.D．It gives you a sense of satisfaction when cooking with fresh ingredients. 3．Which of the following can take you to travel farthest?A．Hiking. B．Backcountry Camping.C．Mountain and Road Biking. D．Gardening.BFinding a suitable name for a baby is a big deal in China. When picking out a Chinese name, parents usually select two or three characters that have a carefully thought out meaning, but when deciding on an English name, many of them struggle. That's where Jessup and her company, Special Name, come in. In the last few years, Jessup has helped name 677,900 Chinese babies, and earned over $400,000 in the process, more than enough to pay her college fees.Jessup came up with the idea for Special Name in 2015,after accompanying her father on a business trip to China. One of her dad's business partners, a Mrs. Wang, asked her to help choose an English name for her daughter. Jessup felt honored and quickly realized the importance of choosing a proper name in Chinese culture. The woman wanted people to be surprised by the things her daughter could achieve, so Jessup suggested the name "Eliza" after the character Eliza Doolittle from the play Pygmalion. Mrs. Wang seemed delighted with Jessup's choice."If Mrs. Wang neededthis service, maybe other parents would as well, "Jessup thought.After returning to UK, Jessup borrowed ￡1,500 from her parents and paid a web designer to build a website. She then spent her free time filling up a database(数据库)with around 4,000 English names, associating them with five major personality characteristics, like honesty and optimism.In the beginning, Jessup offered the service for free to promote the website, but later, she started charging fees. The business is almost completely self-sufficient, requiring only a small team in China that manages technical operations. She updates the database each month, allowing her to focus full-time on studies.4. What's the purpose of Special Name?A. To help Chinese teens go abroad.B. To strengthen children's personalities.C. To pick an English name for a Chinese baby.D. To make a deal with Chinese parents.5. What inspired Jessup to set up Special Name?A. A suggestion from a business partner.B. Her interest in Chinese culture.C. A Chinese mother's request.D. A character from a play.6. What did Mrs. Wang want her daughter to be in the future?A. A woman with achievements.B. A famous actress.C. A successful businesswoman.D. A western culture expert.7. What can we infer from the last paragraph about Special Name?A. It offers free service.B. It's updated every day.C. It's operated completely by itself.D. It is easy to manage.CEvery country has its favorite food. Italians like to eat pizza. Indians like to eat hot food. Japanese like to eat fish.

They put it in paper bags, and take it home, orto their workplace. Sometimes they eat it in the park or on the road. The world’s favorite food is American fast food. If you go to some important cities in the world, you can find people eating hamburgers and chips. Fish and chips, and Chinese take-away food are very popular in England. But they are less popular in the USA. The Americans eat take-away food, too, like chicken.But the most popular kind of take-away food is the hamburger. I t looks like bread with meat in it.

What makes Mrs. Hanson different from her classmates is her age-----73 years. She has been studying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years.When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He di dn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she should be at home doing work in the house or around the farm.

He had made a lot of money in trading with foreign countries. When he was 75, he gave £12,000 to the village school to buy land and equipment for a children’s playground. As a result of his kindness, many people came to visit him. Among them was a newspaperman. During their talk, Johnson remarked that he was 75 and expected to live to be 100, and the newspaperman asked him how he managed to be healthy at 75. Johnson had a sense of humor. He liked whisky and drank some each day. “I have an injection (注射) in my neck each evening”, he told the newspaperman, thinking of his evening glass of whisky.The newspaperman did not understand what Johnson meant. In his newspaper he reported that Johnson was 75 and had a daily injection in his neck.

The bookstore is open 24 hours a day．Inside the bookstore are various books，especially literary books and classic authors’ works．So if you are looking for something less popular，you may get a bit disappointed there．Another special feature of this bookstore is that each book only costs three dollars．All the expenses are paid on the honor system，which means buyers should make a note of what they’ve bought and leave their money by themselves．So the tools of the trade in this bookstore are quite simple: pens，papers，light bulbs and a label-maker．In order to catch passers-by’s attention，the billboards(广告牌）of the bookstore are several times bigger than the store itself．With these large eye-catchers，many people are willing to stop by and have a visit．9．What’s the passage mainly about?A．The world’s smallest bookstore．B．A strange way of selling books．C．The popular books nowadays．D．The popular bookstores in the world．10．Which of the following books might you most probably get in the store?A．Books on popular science． B.

James Watt from a worker‟s family made the world first widely used steam engine. At first, he couldn’t tell people how powerful it was, because there were no units at that time. Watt decided to find out how much work one strong horse could do in one minute. He named that unit one horse-power. In this way he could measure the work of his steam engine.He discovered that a horse could lift a 3300-pound weight 10 feet into the air in one minute. His engine could lift a 3300-pound weight 100 feet in one minute. Because his engine did ten times as much work as the horse, Watt called it a ten horse-power engine.12.

（每小题2分，共30分）AIn 1977 , a dead author of detective stories saved the life of a nineteen-month-old baby in a most unusual way. The author was Agatha Christie, a gentle married lady and one of the most successfulwriters of detective stories in the world.In June 1977 , a baby girl became seriously ill in Qatar (卡塔尔) , near Sandi Arabia(沙特阿拉伯) . Doctors were unable to find out the cause of her illness, so she was flown to London and sent to Hammersmith Hospital. A team of doctors hurried to examine the baby only to discover that they, too, were puzzled by the very unusual signs of illness. While they were having a discussion about the baby's illness, a nurse asked to speak to them.Excuse me, said Nurse Marsha Maitland, but I think the baby is suffering from thallium poisoning(铊中毒) .What makes you think that? Dr. Brown asked. Thallium poisoning is very rare.A few days ago, I was reading a novel called‘A Pale Horse' by Agatha Christie, Nurse Maitland explained.“In the book, somebody uses thallium poison, and all the signs are exactly the same as the baby' s .”You are very careful and you may be right, another doctor said. We’ll carry out some tests and find out whether it' s thallium(铊) or not.Tests showed that the baby had indeed been poisoned by thallium. Once they knew the cause of the illness, the doctors were able to give the baby the correct treatment. She soon recovered and was sent back to Qatar. Later on it was proved that the poison might have come from an insecticide(杀虫剂) used in Qatar.1.Who first suggested the correct cause of the baby's illness?A. A Doctor in Qatar.B. Nurse Maitland.C. Dr. Brown.D. Agatha Christie.2. Why was the baby sent to London?A.She was a British girl whose parents were working in Qatar.B.The hospitals in Qatar were full at that time.C.She was the daughter of a doctor in one of the places.D.The Qatar doctors were not sure they could cure her.3. As far as we can tell from passage, Agatha Christie________.A.had never even met this baby.B.had spent a long time as a police officer.C.visited the baby in the hospital at Hammersmith.D. gave Nurse Maitland some advice on the phone .4. Why Nurse Maitland spoke to the doctors ?A.when she heard them discussing the possibility of thallium poison.B.because she could see that the doctors had made a mistake.C.to suggest a possible reason for the patient' s illness.D.after she had read about a horse which had been poisoned.5.What did the doctor think of the suggestion which Nurse Maitlandmade?A.They were very quick to agree with her.B.They were unhappy over her interruption.C.They said that she was wrong because thallium poisoningis very rare.D.They thought it was a possibility worth considering.BIn sport the sexes(性别)are separate. Women and men do not run or swim in the same races. Women are less strong than men. That at least is what people say. Women are called the weaker sex, or, if men want to please them, the fair sex. But boysand girls are taught together at schools and universities. There are women who are famous Prime Ministers, scientists and writers. And women live longer than men. A European woman can expect to live until the age of 74, a man only until he is 68. Are women's bodies really weaker?The fastest men can run a mile in under 4 minutes. The best women need 4.5 minutes. Women's time are always slower than men's, but some facts are a surprise. Some of the fastest women swimmers today are teenage girls. One of them swam 400 metres in 4 minutes 21.2 seconds when she was only 16.The first‘Tartan’in film was an Olympic swimmer, Johnny Weissmuller. His fastest 400 metres was 4 minutes 49.1 seconds, which is 37.9 seconds slower than a girl 50 years later! This does not mean that women are catching men up. Conditions are very different now and sport is much more serious. It is so serious that some women athletes are given hormone (荷尔蒙)injections(注射). At the Olympics a doctor has to check whether the women athletes are really women or not. It seems sad that sport has such problems. Life can be very complicated(复杂的) when there are two separate sexes!6.Women are called the weaker sex because ______ .A.women do as much as menB.people think women are weaker than menC.sport is easier for men than for womenD.in sport the two sexes are always together7.Which of the following is true?A.Boys and girls study separately everywhere.B.Women do not run or swim in races with men.C. Famous Prime Ministers are women .D.Men can expect to live longer than women in Europe.8.“That at least is what people say”means people ______ .A.say other things , tooB.don't say this muchC.say this but may not think soD.only think this9. What problems does sport have?A.Some women athletes are actually men.B.Some women athletes are give hormone injections.C.Women and men do not run or swim in the same races.D.It is difficult to check whether women athletes are really women.10. In this passage the author implies that ______A.women are weaker than wen , but fasterB.women are slower than men, but strongerC.men are not always stronger and faster than womenD.men are faster and stronger than womenCToo many people want others to be their friends, but they don’t give friendship back. That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous (宽宏大量的)；be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest, you may lose your friend’s trust.Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your lunch money or your clothes, or enjoy, like our hobbies and your interests. Naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to a friend. They tell your friend what is important to you. By sharing them you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with a problem. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike(相同).But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friendships, you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.11. Some friendships don’t last very long because________.A. there are too many people who want to make friends.B. they don’t know friendship is something seriousC. those who give others friendships receive friendships from othersD. those who never give others friendships receive no friendship fromothers12. According to the passage , honesty is________.A. as important as moneyB. more important than anything elseC. something countableD. the base of a friendship13. Which of the following is NOT true in the passage?A. A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.B. Always tell your friend the truth.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve theproblem.D. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.14. According to the author, how do you help your friend know youbetter?A. Ask your friend for everything.B. Don’t tell the truth to your friend.C. Share your ideas and feelings with your friend.D. Give your lunch money or your clothes to your friend.15. The best title of this passage is _______.A. A Friend in Need Is a Friend IndeedB. Honesty Is the Best HabitC. How to Be a FriendD.

So, can you find them a gift that is memorable and yet practical enough to be used daily？Here are a few tips on how to find just the right best friend birthday gift._16_ The gift you choose should tell a story — even if it is one that only the two of you would know and understand.

Do they like sports, puzzles, crime stories, skiing, country music, computers, etc.? Find a gift that reflects their interests.__18__ You will want to strike the right balance between a gift that is popular but also unique to them. Go online or flip through (翻阅) your newspaper and find 510 bestselling products. __19__Do not let them think you are being cheap. You will want to find a gift that makes it seem like you spent a lot, even if you didn't. __20__ For example, instead of buying34 soso gifts, go for one nicer gift that gives the impression of being of high quality.A. Check out what is hot.B. Stay within your budget.C. Focus on what you love to do together.D. Then, use what you find as ideas for what to buy.E. One way to do this is to go for quality over quantity.F. You needn't spend too much to impress your friends.G.

Spectacular Mountains in NepalThe small country of Nepal is situated in the Himalayan Mountains at the foot of Mount Qomolangma. Eight of the 14 independent mountains on earth that are more than 8,000 meters high above sea level are located in the country, offering strikingly beautiful mountainous scenery with hiking opportunities.When to visit: October and November, the start of the dry season, are the best months to visit Nepal.Mountains and Oceans of the National Parks of Western CanadaDeep in the Canadian Rocky Mountains, you will find world-class and jaw-dropping scenery, centered around glacial lakes. Wildlife is abundant in these areas, especially in Jasper National Park, which is well-known for wildlife viewing and home to some of North America’s rarest animals including grizzlies, bisons and wolves.When to visit:the Canadian Rockies and Canada’s West Coast are best visited in summer. If you want to avoid the tourist crowds, travel in June or September.Impressive Landscapes of New ZealandNew Zealand is a land of natural diversity.

Don’t miss Abel Tasman National Park.When to visit: the best time to visit New Zealand is between October and April, with high season (meaning high prices and low availability for hotels) between mid-December and the end of January.1．When might be the best time to visit the islands of Hawaii?A． In January. B． In May.C． In July. D． In December.2．Where should wildlife lovers go?A． The island of Kauai. B． Jasper National Park.C． The Himalayan Mountains.

D． Exploring subtropical forests.BDerek Rabelo is not the only surfer to conquer Hawaii’s famous Pipeline big-wave break, but while all others use their sight to do it, this young professional surfer must rely only on his other senses. That’s because he is completely blind.When Derek was born about 24 years ago, he got his name from Derek Ho, the first Hawaiian surfing world champion. A surfing enthusiast himself, Emeslo Rabelo dreamed that his son would share the talent of his uncle, a professional surfer. Unfortunately, Derek was born completely blind, but this didn’t stop his family from believing that he could do anything he wanted, even if that meant becoming a surfer.At age 2, Derek received a body board and the beaches of Guarapari, Brazil, became his backyard. He was always comfortable in the water and surfing was in his blood, but he didn’t actually try riding a wave until he turned 17, when his father boughthim a surfboard. His father taught him the basics and encouraged him to keep practising, but after successfully standing up on the surfboard, Derek knew he needed to become much better if he was going to achieve Emeslo’s d ream and become a professional surfer. So he joined the Praia do Moroo surf school, where he studied under coach Fabio Maru.Standing up on a surfboard and conquering small waves is one thing, while gathering the courage to take on Hawaii’s board-breaking Pipeline is another. But that was exactly what Derek Rabelo set out to do just months after learning how to surf. Everyone told him it was too dangerous, but he felt he could do it. And he did, earning the praise of famous professional surfers like Kelly Slater and Mick Fanning. Now 24, Rabelo has been surfing the Pipeline every winter since.4．What makes Dereck Rabelo special as a professional surfer?A． He is disabled. B． He is talented.C． He is fortunate. D． He is hard-working.5．Who is Derek Ho?A．Derek Rabelo’s uncle. B．Derek Rabelo’s father.C． A surf school coach. D． A professional surf trainer.6．What does Paragraph 3 mainly tell us about Derek Rabelo?A． His difficulties in surfing. B． His achievements in surfing.C． His dream to be a professional surfer. D． His early life to be a professional surfer.7．What words can best describe Derek according to the last paragraph?A． Skillful and proud. B． Brave and confident.C． Considerate and reliable. D． Careful and strong-willed.CWith so many people in the world telling us we can’t succeed, we need to hear people telling us we can. I remember my high school English teacher telling me not to apply to Corn ell University because they wouldn’t accept me and even if they did I wouldn’t be able to do the work. I almost didn’t apply but a few days later Isaw Ivan Foldfarb, a former teacher, in the hallway and asked him about Cornell. He said, “If you get in, then you go. You can do it.” His words made all the difference.I applied and was accepted.Too often we think it’s our role to inject （注入））a dose（一次剂量）of “reality” into someone’s life. We think we must point out how bad the economy is and how horrible the job market is and how the sky is falling.I say there are enough pessimists and “realists” in the world. The world needs more optimists, encouragers, and inspirers. The world needs more people to speak into the hearts of others and say “I believe in you.” “If you have the desire then you also have the power to make it happen.” “Even if you fail, it will lead to something even better.”When it comes to encouragement I know that every one of us loves working for and with people who bring out the best in us. We love being around people who uplift us and make us feel great.And while we’ll always remember the negative people who told us we couldn’t accomplish something, we will always cherish and hold a special place in our heart for those who encouraged us.Today I want to encourage you to be an encourager. Today decide to be that person who instills a positive belief in someone who for that needs to hear your encouraging words. Encourage someone who is feeling down. Fuel your team with your positive energy. Share encouragement. It matters and we all need it.8．Why did the author’s English teacher tell him not to apply to Cornell University? A． Because the author had no talent.B． Because the author was a bad student.C． Because the teacher thought little of the author.D．Because the teacher didn’t want the author to attend university.9．What can we infer from Paragraph 3?A．The world is lack of “reality”.B． The economy is becoming worse and worse.C． We have to face a negative world every day.D． We take it for granted that we should show “reality”.10．What does the underlined word “uplift” i n Paragraph 4 mean?A． to increase something.B． to raise something to a higher position.C． to give hope or encouragement to somebody.D． to make somebody unhappy or disappointed.11．What’s the best title of the passage?A． Be an encourager. B． Always be optimistic.C． Failure is the mother of success. D． Get away from negative people.DIf you have ever found yourself looking for your keys, misplacing your cell phone or wanting to keep track of your bicycle or car, then the TrackR, a device (装置) that works with your smart phone created by a California­based company, is for you! At $29.95 each, not like the expensive GPS systems, or with TrackR Pack purchase deals, you can’t afford not to have one!Install (安装) the free TrackR app on your smart phone.

The entire process of setting it up only takes 5 minutes or less.If you have the hard TrackR, you can just hide it under your car’s floor mat(垫子）, in the trunk or somewhere it won’t be found if your car gets stolen. If you forget where you parked your car, take out your smart phone and open the TrackR app. Tap on the “lost item” icon on the screen and the app will tell you exactly where it is.You can also attach it to your pet. Put it on their collar（项圈）, and the problem of searching for them as they run off to nearby places will be over! Attach it to your keys and wallet, and never waste a minute searching the whole house for it. Theaffordable TrackR even comes with a double­sided adhesive (黏合剂) so you can stick it to your laptop or under your bike seat. Track down and punish the thieves who steal your expensive things!The convenience and the ability to find actually any object means that the TrackR is one of the most useful articles that you’ll find for any price.However, the best thing it can give is peace of mind, and it doesn’t get any better than that. 12．What is Paragraph 2 mainly about?A． How the TrackR works.

When they listen to MP3 players, they like to turn up the volume (音量)．Some people love listening to loud music. Furthermore, while watching TV, they keep the volume up. But they haven't realized that the noise is weakening their hearing. In fact, the noise not only influences each member in the family, but also makes a difference to the comfort of neighbors.Noise pollution is a source of increasing misery (痛苦) to people in our society. If people are often disturbed by it, they may feel uncomfortable or upset. What'sworse, the noise can make people mad sometimes. If a worker works in a printing factory for too long, his/her hearing loss is much faster than a common person working in a quieter environment. So everybody must pay more attention to noise pollution. Generally speaking，the following four types of noise should be watched out for：◆Noise in the street◆Construction site noise◆Noise at work◆Transportation noiseI think the local department should take measures to control the noise levels, but it's everybody's duty to keep a quiet environment.( ) 7．Why is noise called a kind of invisible killer?A. Because we can't see it with our own eyes.B. Because it's really harmful to our health，but people don't realize it.C. Because it often causes people to die.D. Because it has no direct effect on humans.( )8．What do the words “makes a difference to” mean?A. influencesB. producesC. refersD. provides( )9．Noise pollution may not make people feel________.A. uncomfortableB. upsetC. madD. pleased( )10．Which of the following is NOT true?A.

Everybody has a duty to keep a quiet environment.( )11．What's the best title for the passage?A. Different Kinds of PollutionB. The Harm of Noise PollutionC. Hearing LossD. Our HealthDDuring the past Spring Festival，many children may have received red packets from their families. But Xing Pu，a 40－year－old economist，is asking the government togive red packets to every Chinese citizen.Xing suggested the government give out 1，000 yuan to each Chinese since the government income has increased rapidly in recent years.He said his suggestion would allow everyone to directly enjoy the fruits of the country's economic success，help the lower－income groups deal with rising prices and increase consumption (消费) around the country.Recent years have seen the government carry out a series of pro－poor (有益穷人的) and pro－rural (有益农村的) policies，including increasing spending on public health care and calling off the agricultural tax.But the lower－income group still needs more help while being hit hard by an 11－year high in prices and recent snowstorms.Xing said while making the draft ，he has borrowed many ideas from practices in countries like the United States and Singapore. Earlier this year，the governments of the two nations offered cash handouts (救济品) to their citizens as the result of a surplus in government income. As for in China，“We can even encourage the rich to donate their 1，000 yuan red packet to the poor，”said Xing.Although Xing's suggestion has gained wide support among ordinary Chinese on the Internet，many other economists criticized it as unpractical. Even Xing himself admitted he made the suggestion without any careful calculation. But they agreed with Xing's point that the growing economic pie should be shared among the people.“To better use the increasing money，handing out money is not a solution that holds good for all time. It could be better to improve the public service or cut the price of energy use in daily life，”said Qiao Xinsheng，an economic professor. 12．Xing Pu suggested that the government give out 1，000 yuan to each Chinese because _____．A．the poor should get help from the richB．the government should help the richC．the growing economic pie should be shared among the peopleD．the government doesn't know how to use the money13．What has the government done to help the lower－income group?A．Spending less on public health care.B．Increasing the agricultural tax.C．Carrying out pro－poor policies.D．Handing out money to every Chinese.14．Xing Pu's ideas of giving red packets to every Chinese citizen mainly came from _______．A．children receiving red packets from their familiesB．the US and Singapore governments offering cash handouts to their citizens C．the government's increasing spending on public health careD．the rising prices in the country15．Xing Pu's suggestion ________．A．was supported by everyone in the countryB．caused debates on the InternetC．was supported by the governmentD．would be adopted soon第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
