In closingshe called me a hero.That got me thinking about what a hero is. Was I a hero because I pulled a familyfrom a burning car? If so, how could I be a hero just because I wrote a story thatsaved someone’s life?Today I decided to look up the word “hero” in the dictionary to see exactlywhat it meant. It read “a person who does something brave”. As I rea d on, it alsosaid “a person who is good and noble.”That statement impressed me more than the part about being brave. So I thoughtabout something very important. Say I was walking into the local Wal-Mart Store andI happened to open, and hold the door for someone as a courtesy. As they passed by,I say, “How are you today?” Most of the time that would be no big deal, but thistime let’s say it was for someone who was deeply depressed and near the end of therope. That may have very well been the only kindness or courtesy shown to them ina very long time.Having been near “the end of my rope”, after my marriage of twenty years ended,I was in such a condition. I was within hours trying to get up enough courage to endthe pain and misery. When I returned home, someone had sent me a card in the mailwhich told me how much they would appreciate me as a friend. That wonderful cardprobably saved my life. That person, without even knowing it, saved a life and becamea hero.The many stories I kept writing in the following years saved the life of a teenageboy. In turn that makes the person who sent me the card a double hero. I suppose thatis why I fight so hard to help the children now living in orphanages(孤儿院). Mostchildren come out of these institutions with a very hard and bitter attitude against the world. The gifts we send them let them know that they have not been forgotten. Hopefully, most of them will never hurt anyone because of the ki ndness shown to them by those of us who cared. If it works, we will also become “heroes”.Gee, who would have ever thought that anyone can become a hero, and possibly save a life, just by being kind and courteous to others? The best part of all is that becominga hero is free to all who wish to wear such an honor.56. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?A. Why Should You Be A Hero?B. What Exactly Is A Hero?C. I Am A HeroD. Everyone Is A Hero57. The underlined word “courtesy” in Paragraph 4 means the behavior that is _______.A. both polite and respectfulB. both brave and fearlessC. both polite and braveD. both quick-minded and kind58. The underlined word “it” in the last sentence of Paragraph 5 refers to _________.A. the wonderful card the writer receivedB. the action of sending the cardC. the fact that the sender saved the writerD. the fact that the sender was a true friendB“REMOVE from friends.”This is no ordinary button. One click and I have the power to erase a person from my life.In late fall, I had around 400 friends on Facebook. Today, I have 134.Click. Make that 133.When Facebook first entered my life in 2005, I panicked that my friend count was too low. If I wasn’t properly connected, how would anyone see my clever quote(引语)? Who would wish me a happy birthday? I accepted and sent out friend requests without a second thought and soon accumulated 391 friends.There is an appeal to being able to communicate with someone or just “thumbs(拨动手指) up” a photo rather than make real conversation.“It’s comforting and it’s easy,” said Larry Rosen, a psychology professor at California State University, who studies the way people communicate online.” There’s a sense of belonging in it. It’s a sense of community in a generation where community has sort of (有点)di sappeared.”However, I don’t talk to half of these people in the online community. There are some I would avoid if I met them on the street.Click. 132.I decided to rid my account of any “friend” that…well, wasn’t. Sound easy? You try it.Look at who you’re dealing with: family, friends, classmates, crushes(爱恋的对象), acquaintances…With every click of the “Remove from friends” button, you risk burning a bridge, losing a contact and missing an opportunity. So every time I go to click the button, my heart hurts.However, I’m not the only one who has experienced a Faceboook friend refreshing. The New Oxford American Dictionary announces its “Word of the Year” each year, and last year, “unfriend” made the cut (入围) (though I’ll still stick with“defriend”).When I started my mission(任务), a few friends joined. Most were surprised by how easily they could cut hundreds of connections without thinking twice.“Oh my God, I defriended like 600 people today. I feel so good!” my friend Sarah messaged.Dana, a close friend from high school, and I battled it out to see who could get our counts lower. She wins at 123.To some, it’s poor “netiquette(网络礼仪)” to defriend. But to me, it’s the stage of life when we hold onto the people who count, the people who impact you.59. Accor ding to the article, what happens when you click the “Remove form friends” button?A. A message is sent out to your online friends.B. You accept someone as your online friend.C. The number of your online friends is reduced.D. You send out a friend request to people.60. The writer worried about her friend count in 2005 because ______.A. no one would wish her a happy birthday B .it was the first time she had made friends onlineC. she had only 391 online friends at that timeD. she was eager to make connections61. What is Larry Rosen’s opinion?A. People living in the same area are closely connected in everyday life.B. Communication online helps people feel they are members of a group.C. It’s easy for people to make and break new friendships online.D. Today’s young people spend nearly all their time communicating online.62. Which of the following is the best description of the underlined sentence?A. I made new friends online while I removed some old ones.B. Some friends cut the number of their online friends just like I did.C. We competed to see who could remove the most online friends.D. When someone removed me from a friends’ list, I removed him/her.CBears and humans often meet in National Parks. Although campers and hikers are warned not to feed the bears, many people ignore these warnings and feed the beasts anyway. When bears are used to people’s food, problems soon arise.Bears like to eat a large variety of things, both meat and vegetable. Without human assistance, bears live nicely on roots, twigs, leaves of trees, insects and small animals. With people around, the bears’ tastes quickly expand to include sandwiches, hot dogs, hamburgers, and anything else they can temp humans into giving up.Bears often develop clever strategies for getting people to let go their food supplies. More often than not, an unsuspecting hiker has taken off his or her pack for a rest only to have a bear charge out of the woods, grab the pack and quickly disappear into the underbrush with it. Hanging the pack on a tree branch won’t help. Bears have been known to climb up, jump off, and catch the pack on the way down. One mother bear stretched up with her baby on her shoulders to reach a pack stored on a pole. Many bears threaten people into giving up their supplies. Although a bearis unlikely to attack a person and would probably run away if screamed at, few people are willing to do so. Most people drop the pack and run the other way. This, of course, delights the bear. In some places, the Park Service installed some metal barrels with lids to help campers keep their supplies safe from bears. Although the bears were unable to open these containers, the effort was less than successful. Most campers, unable to tell the metal drums from rubbish cans, never used them for the intended purpose.63. Feeding bears on people’s food .A．brings the people a lot of fun B．can cause problemsC．often causes injuries and deaths D．helps bears survive64. If people had never fed bears, the bears .A．might be satisfied with what they had originally B．would have starved long beforeC．wouldn’t have enough food supply D．would have hunted for other kind of food65. Which of the following is TRUE?A．If fed on sandwiches and hot dogs, the bears would no longer eat roots, twigs and insects .B．It’s likely that bears would hurt people if the people didn’t give up their food.C．Most people would frighten away the bears that would temp their food.D．Seeing a pack, the bear would quickly snatch it and run away with it. 66. Bear-proof containers didn’t work because .A．bears were clever enough to get the food in them B．they were left open in the open airC．people were not sure of their use D．they were once used as rubbish cansDYou feel happiest when you create a healthy balance between giving and receiving. If you give and give without making time to fill your own needs, then it’s likely you will burn out, or feel upset. When you take and take without giving anything back, you never feel fulfilled, so you are always searching for ways to fill the void in your life.The way to create a healthy balance between giving and receiving is to know and then live by your values. I break values up into two groups which I call being and having values. Your being values are the personalities of the ideal person you would like to be. I suggest to my clients that they choose three being values that they are willing to make a promise to live by. An example of some being values are: kind, loving, generous, peaceful, wise and even powerful. By acting on these values you give to others through your actions and you inspire others by being a positive role model. Mastering being these personalities becomes your life purpose.Your having values are the feelings you need to create in order to be happy. These could be companionship, achievement, support, being valued or financial security. This is what you receive. You take responsibility for filling your own needs by taking steps to create these feelings and conditions in your life.When you make a promise to live by your being values, it becomes easier to makeconscious(慎重的) choices rather than reactionary(反动的) ones. If your usual pattern is to talk about your problems, you could choose to think and act like a calm person.A calm person might go for a walk, or set a time limit before responding. If your usual pattern is to worry, you could choose to act like a responsible or wise person. In other words, you would act like the person you choose to be—this is the key to personal power.When you choose to act on your values, you not only feel good about yourself, you strengthen your chosen beliefs. Over time acting in this way changes how you see the world, and in turn the way other people think of you.67．The main purpose of this passage is to .A．persuade the readers to make a promise B．explain to the readers what personal values areC．inform the readers how to be truly happy D．instruct the readers how to make wise choices68．According to the text, living by your being values, you would .A．gain a lot of power B．form positive personalityC．seek all human virtues D．fill your own needs69．The underlined word “void” in Paragraph 1 means .A．a feeling of emptiness B．an absen ce of one’s mindC．a break of continuity D．a state of confusion70．What can be inferred from the text?A．Having values are better than being values. B．A calm person does not choose to complain.C．The way other people think of you decides who you are.D．A responsible person does not care about financial security.【巩固提升】IV．任务型阅读（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）注意：每空格1个单词。

In conversation he expressed little joy and it seemed that his life was drawing to a close.When his heart problems led to operation, Jill went through it successfully, anda full recovery was expected. Within days, however, his heart was not beating properly. Jill was rushed back to operation, but nothing was found to explain the cause of his illness. He died on the operating table on the day before his 48th birthday.Dr. Bruce Smaller, a psychologist (心理学家), had had many conversations with him, and the more he learned, the stranger he realized Jill's case was. When Jill was a child, his father, a teacher, suffered a heart attack and stayed home to recover. One morning Jill asked his father to look over his homework, promising to come home from school at noon to pick it up. His father agreed, but when Jill returned his father had died. Jill's father was 48."I think all his life Jill believed he killed his father," Dr. Smaller says. "He felt that if he had not asked him to look at his homework, his father would have lived. Jill had been troubled by the idea. The operation was the trial(判决) he had expected for forty years." Smaller believes that Jill willed himself not to live to the age of 48.Jill's case shows the powerful role that attitude (态度) plays on physical health, and that childhood experiences produce far-reaching effect on the health of grown-ups. Although most cases are less direct than Jill's, studies show that childhood events, besides genes, may well cause such midlife diseases as cancer, heart disease and mental illness.46. What made Dr. Smaller feel strange about Jill's case?A. Jill died at a young age.B. Jill died on the operating table.C. Both Jill and his father died of the same disease.D. Jill's death is closely connected with his father's.47. From Smaller’s words, we can infer that__________.A. Jill's father cared little about his studyB. Smaller agreed that Jill did kill his fatherC. Jill thought he would be punished some dayD. Smaller believed Jill wouldn't live to the age of 4848. Which of the following could have strong effects on one's physical health according to the text.a. One's genes.b. One's life in childhood.c. One's physical education.d. The date of one's birthday.e.

You don't need to compare values of the houses or search for a swapping (交换) partner in the case of a home similar to yours. It just requires identifying a home where you and your family can stay comfortably in the place you wish to visit. You need to search for a person or a family with whom you would be comfortable exchanging your home with, for a short period of time. In home exchange, you would be taking care of other people's home，as well as enjoying the country while they would be doing the same from your home.People who have traveled a lot would know that the most expensive part of travelingis paying hotel bills. In many cases, vacations cannot last for long mainly because of the high accommodation (住房) expenses. Holiday home exchange is one of the most simple and intelligent ways to cut down an accommodation expenses. It is an equal trade for both the families and enables both to enjoy the advantages of a home while traveling to another country.Home exchanges have become very popular in major cities in the United Kingdom as it allows you to benefit from time-share. Mostly, people participating in home exchanges prefer to involve their friends or neighbors to entertain their visitors, by providing the home exchange visitors with information regarding the local sightseeing attractions. Many families with children try to swap houses with families who have children of the similar age group. It saves time and energy that are often wasted in carrying around a number of toys and equipment. The individual (单个的) traveler often finds house swapping a great way of relaxing in the comforts of a home after a tiring day of sightseeing and can spend more time to get to know the area better.52. The most suitable title for the passage is _________.A. Home Exchange for Your HolidayB. How to Find the Best HouseC. Everyone Loves Exchanging HomesD. Tips for Your Trip53. If you take part in home exchanges, you_______.A. should find a home that is similar to yoursB. should compare your partner's home to yoursC. should take care of other people's homeD. should prepare food for other families54.

The goal of their game was to write the word “shmily” in a surprise place for the other to find.“Shmily” was written in the steam left on the mirror after a hot shower, where it wouldreappear bath after bath. At one point, my grandmother even opened an entire roll of toilet paper to leave “shmily” on the very last sheet. Little notes with “shmily” scribbled (潦草地写) hurriedly were found on dashboards (仪表板) and car seats, or taped to steering wheels.It took me a long time before I was able to fully appreciate my grandparents’ game. Skepticism (怀疑态度) had kept me from believing in true love — one that is pure and lasting. However, I never doubted my grandparents’ relationship. They had love down pat. It was more than their flirtatious (爱调戏的) little games; it was a way of life. Their relationship was based on devotion and passionate love.Grandma and Grandpa held hands every chance they could. They stole kisses as they bumped into each other in their tiny kitchen. They finished each other’s sentences and shared the daily crossword puzzle and word jumble. My grandma whispered to me about how cute my grandpa was, how handsome and old he had grown to be. She claimed that she really knew “how to pick ‘em.”But there came a dark cloud into my grandparents’ life: when my grandmother got breast cancer. Gradually it took over the whole of her body. One day, what we all dreaded finally happened. Grandma was gone.“Shmily.” It was scrawled in yellow on the pink ribbons of my grandmother’s funeral bouquet (花束). The family came forward and gathered around Grandma one last time. Grandpa stepped up to my grandmother’s casket (棺) and, taking a shaky breath, he began to sing to her. Through his tears and sadness, the song came, a deep and throaty lullaby (催眠曲,). Shaking with my own sorrow, I would never forget that moment. S-h-m-i-l-y: See How Much I Love You.56. The point of the article is to ________.A. give advice on how to keep love freshB. explain to readers the meaning of “shmily”C. show the true love between the writer’s grandparentsD. express how much the writer loved her grandparents57. What is the function of the second paragraph?A. To support the first paragraph.B. To introduce the next paragraph.C. To give the main idea of the article.D. To make the article more interesting.58.

What is the author’s attitude toward her grandparents’ love?A. She doubts whether it was true love.B. She finds their way of expressing love strange.C. She admires their romantic and passionate love.D. She thinks she will never be able to love like that.BA turkey named Courage gave thanks to President Obama for saving his life on the day before Thanksgiving. Honouring a 62-year-old tradition, the President pardoned the bird on Thanksgiving eve.The tradition of a turkey pardon at Thanksgiving began with President Truman in 1947. Courage comes from Ellsworth, Iowa. The name Courage was chosen by voters (投票人)who took part in a survey posted on the White House website. The lucky turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden and posed for the cameras at the presidential podium(讲台).The dinner that has become known as the First Thanksgiving was actually a harvest festival celebrated in December of 1621. That’s when English settlers in Plymouth, Massachusetts, gave thanks for the progress they had made after a hard winter in their new country. As America grew, Thanksgiving customs also spread and got bigger. George Washington declared that the first national Thanksgiving would be on November 26, 1789. In the decades to follow, however, people celebrated Thanksgiving locally, with no official date. President Abraham Lincoln declared the last Thursday in November 1863 a national day of Thanksgiving. It stayed that way until 1939, when President Franklin D. Roosevelt moved it one week earlier. He wanted to lengthen the shopping period before Christmas to encourage gift-buyers and to help businesses. So Congress （议会） ruled that, after 1941, Thanksgiving would be an official federal holiday falling on the fourth Thursday of November.This year we celebrated Thanksgiving on Thursday, November. Millions of Americans got together to give thanks with friends and family. The lucky turkey, Courage, was one of them. After his pardon, Courage would be sent to Disneyland Resort in California, where he would be the grand assemble of Disney’s Thanksgiving Day Parade.60. That the turkey Courage was pardoned was decided by ________.A. George BushB. CongressC. President TrumanD. the public61. The first Thanksgiving Day was held to ________.A. celebrate the harvest of British settlersB. celebrate the progress ofAmericansC. encourage the struggle with British settlersD. celebrate the joy of all Americans after a hard winter62. In 1939, President Roosevelt put forward the national day of Thanksgiving to ________.A. encourage the economyB. help the poorC. please CongressD. lengthen the summer holidays63. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. President Obama pardoned a turkey before Thanksgiving because of the economic crisisB. the turkey named Courage was pardoned by President Roosevelt before ThanksgivingC. the pardoned turkey walked on the lawn of the Rose Garden on Thanksgiving eveD. the pardoned turkey will appear in a celebrating parade of Thanksgiving DayCChinese New Year for Kids‘Chinese New Year for Kids’ is a full color paperback book with beautiful Chinese illustrations (插图).

You’ll discover it all on your own, maybe when you least expect. If you’ve not yet discovered the secret of saying thanks, it’s waiting for you.

Eight times he’s not only pushed him 26.2 miles in a wheelchair but also towed (拉着) him 2.4 miles in a dinghy (小游艇) while swimming and pedaled (蹬车) him 112 miles —all in the same day. And what has Rick done for his father? Not much — except save his life.This love story began in Winchester, Mass., 43 years ago, when Rick was strangled (使窒息) by the umbilical cord (脐带) during birth, leaving him brain-damaged and unable to control his limbs.When Rick was 11 the Hoyts took him to hospital and asked if there was anything to help the boy communic ate. “No way,’’ Dick was told. “There’s nothing going on in his brain.’’“Tell him a joke,’’ Dick countered (反驳). They did. Rick laughed. It turns out that a lot was going on in his brain. Equipped with a computer that allowed him to control the cursor (光标) by touching a switch with the side of his head, Rick was finally able to communicate.And after a high school classmate was paralyzed (瘫痪) in an accident and the school organized a charity run for him, Rick pecked out (啄出), “Dad, I want to do that.’’ How was Dick, who had never run more than a mile at a time, going to push his son five miles? Still, he tried.That day changed Rick’s life. “Dad,’’ he typed, “when we were running, it felt like I wasn’t disabled any more!’’And that sentence changed Dic k’s life. He became obsessed(迷恋) with giving Rick that feeling as often as he could. He got into such hard-belly shape that he and Rick were ready to try the 1979 Boston Marathon. In 1983 they ran another marathon so fast they made the qualifying time for Boston the following year.T hen somebody said, “Hey, Dick, why not a triathlon (三项全能运动)?’’Now they’ve done 212 triathlons, including four 15-hour Ironmans in Hawaii. This year, at ages 65 and 43, Dick and Rick finished their 24th Boston Marathon, in 5,083rd place out of more than 20,000 starters. Their best time? Two hours, 40 minutes in 1992 — only 35 minutes off the world record.“No question about it,’’ Rick types. “My dad is the Father of the Century.’’ And Dick got something else out of all this too. Two years ago he had a heart attack during a race. Doctors found that one of his arteries (动脉) was 95% blocked. “If you hadn’t been in such great shape,’’ one doctor told him, “you probably would have died 15 years ago.’’ So, in a way, Dick and Rick saved each other’s life.67.

It's going to be Mother's day again. Have you planned something good for your Mama? If not, try even one of these tips.Make Your Mama ProudWhat special talents do you have? Maybe this is the right time to show it to her. She would be very proud and surprised if she'd realized that you have something that she doesn't expect.What's Her Favorite?Most teens don't know what their mama's favorite. You do? Then, what are you waiting for ? Buy her some of her favorite stuff and put a little twist on it. Make it more special.The best time to give her that is while she is sleeping at night. Put it on the drawer next to her so that when she wakes up she'll be surprised to see it. And, maybe, a little tear may fall down from her cheeks.The MemoriesOur mothers have special memories in mind. Those are the times that they gave birth to their healthy baby. How about you? What's your best moment with her? Maybe you can tell her about the time she got mad at you because you did something that you thought is right but since that day forward you realized your mistakes. Or, you can tell her how happy you are when she was there during your painful days in your life.Be HerWhat does she look like if she is so exhausted and angry and tired? What does she do for your family? This is the right time to show her the things that she usually does at home. Try to imitate her voice when she is angry. Make your face as if you are her when she is mad.Treat a QueenYour house is a palace with a king and queen (it doesn't matter if you're rich or poor). Our mother is the real queen in our life and in our family though her duties make her look like she is not. Give the lady a day off by being a servant to her.Make-Over BeautyBecause of stress and the problems that she is facing right now, especially in the family, she doesn't look great any more. Admit it! Most mothers are not into trends anymore because their focusing on us.Perhaps you could take some of your savings to treat her in a salon or the department store. Then, choose nice clothes that would make her look GLAMOROUS!Have Some of Your TimeIt's the cheapest but a meaningful way. Most of us are busy from our work, friends, boy/girl friends, school. We stay home late and after several hours, we go out again.Have you ever had a meaningful time with your mother where you don't think or talk about problems and arguments? Have you ever told her how much you thank her from the life she gave to you, the time she took care of you, and for every suffering she'd felt for you? Have you ever told her that you love her?Life is short. We don't know what will happen tomorrow nor today. Those three words can make her heart jump for joy, you know? Just tell her “I love you!” and it would make her smile so sweetly. Just try! We don't want to miss a thing, right?第五部分：单词拼写（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）81.
