As we were leaving, we found that only min utes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was withher, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was em barrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset abo ut what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum,it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flo wers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy th e lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was am azed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went o ver to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her.Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told hi m, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give h er this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so m uch, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, tellingher who it was from.

一、现代文阅读（35分）（一）论述类文本阅读（本题共3小题，9分）阅读下面的文字，完成1～3题。
孝是人生自然生发的一种亲情。
任何个人都因其父母而来到这个世界上，而人的生命是如此脆弱，只有亲人时时刻刻地关照，才可度过其婴儿期。
正是因为父母无私的爱，子女才得以成人。
在子女年幼时，父母为子女尽心操心，是父母的责任与本分。
父母孩子之间的情感自然产生，非外部所加，属于无条件的道德情感。
在人的孩提时代，当我们觉察到自己的存在时，我们就知道自己已经有了双亲。
基于对父母的爱和尊重之上的孝起初是孩子天性和爱心的觉醒，经过强化和培养，会逐渐成就孝道，然后进一步，成为超越任何个人私利的人格。
在父母和子女形成了一种基本的情感相通关系后，父母特别理会到孩子的需要，孩子则尤其亲近父母。
两者相互都有亲近感，达到爱的统一。
子女尽孝也就是爱的体现，这样一种爱，也是人对父母之外的他人的爱的起点。
父母与子女的关系蕴含着父母养育子女、子女赡养父母的义务。
这种关系既不是契约协定，也不是任何意义上的交换，而是人性的自然产物。
因而，这里有着不可推卸的道德责任。
治国平天下是传统儒家的理想，从孝道上看，也就是把孝道弘扬光大，达到以孝治天下的目的。
孝道把对国家的爱以及对君王的忠诚看成是孝的扩展和提升：“移孝作忠。
”儒家伦理的核心是仁，而仁的核心则是“孝悌”。
在孔子那里，他以“仁”为最高道德要求，而“孝悌”则是仁的基础。
他说：“弟子入则孝，出则弟，谨而信，泛爱众，而亲仁，行有余力，则以学文。
”并且明确地说：“孝弟也者，其为仁之本与。
”儒家的基本教育，是道德教育，而在道德教育中，孝的教育尤为重要。

Her book and the movie b ased on it, tell a story of love and survival during the American Civil War. Visitors to the Margaret Mitchell House in Atlanta,Georgia, can go where she lived when she started composing the story and learn more about her life.Our first stop at the Margaret Mitchell House is an exhibit area telling about the writer’s life. She was born in Atlanta in 1900. She started writing stories when she was a child. She started working as a reporter for the Atlanta Journal newspaper in 1922. One photograph of Ms. Mitchell, called Peggy, shows her talking to a group of young college boys. She was only about one and a half meters tall. The young men tower over her, but she seems very happy and sure of herself. The tour guide explains: “Now in this picture Peggy is interviewing some boys from Geo rgia Tech, asking them such questions as ‘Would you really marry a woman who works?’And today it’d be ‘Would you marry one who doesn’t?’”The Margaret Mitchell House is a building that once contained several apartments. Now we enter the first floor apartment where Ms. Mitchell lived with her husband, John Marsh. They made fun of the small apartment by calling it “The Dump”.Around 1926, Margaret Mitchell had stopped working as a reporter and was at home healing after an injury. Her husband brought her books to read from the library. She read so many books that he bought her a typewriter and said it was time for her to write her own book. Our guide says Gone with the Wind became a huge success. Margaret Mitchell received the Pulitzer Prize for the book. In 1939 the film version was released. It won ten Academy Awards, including Best Picture.4.The book Gone with the Wind was _________.A.written in “The Dump”B.awarded ten Academy AwardsC. first published in a newspaperD.adapted from a movie5．The underlined phrase “tower over” in Paragraph 2 is closest in meaning to___.A.be very pleased withB.show great respect forC.be much taller thanD.show little interest in6．Which is the best title for the passage ?A.Gone with the Wind: A Huge Success.B.Margaret Mitchell: A Great Female Writer.C.An Introduction of the Margaret Mitchell House.D.A Trip to Know Margaret Mitchell.CLast night, I was driving from Harrisburg to Lewisburgt, a distance of about eighty miles. It was late. Several times I got stuck behind a slow-moving truck on a narrow road with a solid white line on my left, and I was clinching (紧握)my fists with impatience.At one point along an open highway, I came to a crossroads with the traffic light.I was alone on the road by now, but as I approached the light, it turned red and I braked to stop. I looked left, right and behind me. Nothing. Not a car, no suggestion of headlights, but there I sat, waiting for the light to change, the only human being for at least a mile in any direction.I started wondering why I refused to run the light. I was not afraid of being arrest ed，because there were obviously no police around, and there certainly would have been no danger in going through it.Much later that night, the question of w hy I'd stopped for that light came back to me. I think I stopped because it's part of an agreement we all have with each other. It's not only the law, but it's an agreement we have, and we trust each other to honor it: we don't go through red lights.It's amazing that we ever trust each other to do the right thing, isn't it? And we do, too. Trust is our first tendency(趋势). We have to make a deliberate(有意的)decision to mistrust someone or to be suspicious (怀疑的) or skeptical. Those attitudes don't come naturally to us.It's a very good thing too，because the whole structure of our society depends on mutual(相互的) trust, not distrust. We do when we say we'll do; we show up when we say we'll show up；we deliver when we say we'll deliver；and we pay when we say we'11 pay. We trust each other in these matters, and when we don't do what we'vepromised, it's far from the normal.

One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, "Just a minute," answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. "It's nothing," I told her. "I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.""Oh, you're such a good man." She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, "Could you drive through downtown?""It's not the shortest way," I answered quickly."Oh, I'm in no hurry," she said. "I'm on my way to a hospice(临终医院). I don't have any family left. The doctor says I don't have very long."I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been aballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she'd ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, "I'm tired. Let's go now."We drove in silence to the address she had given me."How much do I owe you?" she asked."Nothing." I said."You have to make a living," she answered. "Oh, there are other passengers," I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held on to me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, "You gave an old woman a little moment of joy."26.

In the PISA survey, which compares reading, math and science knowledge of 15-year-olds around the world, Finland is not only the top European country but also competes with Asian giants like Shanghai, Singapore and South Korea. But what makes the educational system in this small country so different from others in the western world?Until the 1960s Finland’s school syst em had been influenced largely by its neighbor, the Soviet Union. Most students left school after six years; some went on to private schools. Only the wealthy ones got a better education. In the middle of the 1960s the Finnish government saw the need to change and modernize their education system if they wanted to be internationally competitive. Lawmakers made a simple decision: a basic school for all the 7- to 16-year-olds. Compulsory education begins at 7. The government makes it possible for all children to attend preschool as well.Most of Finland’s schools get their money from the government. The people who are in charge of the education system, from teachers to officials are trained teachers, not politicians likein other countries.Teachers work with their pupils in school as much as possible. When teachers are not with the pupils, they spend a lot of time in schools working on the curriculum and new projects. Schools in Finland are small, at least for international standards. So teachers know every pupil in their school and try everything to succeed with their pupils. That is why dropout rates are low compared to other countries. In contrast to other nations, teachers in Finland are highly respected. Finland selects its teachers very carefully: only talented students go on to a university and receive a master’s degree in education. Finland only takes the best to educate its youth.All Finnish children, whether they come from the city or the country, whether from a rich or poor family, have the same chances in education. There are not so many differences between the wealthy and poor, as in America or other western European countries. Education experts say that there is very little difference between very good and the worst students. Two thirds of Finnish pupils move on to higher education, the highest rate in the European Union.29. What did the Finland government do in the middle of the 1960s?A. They changed the school system.B. They lengthened preschool education.C. They encouraged students to go to private school.D. They learned modern education from neighboring countries.30. We can learn from the text that ______________.A. the children in Finland are educated equallyB. the children in Finland attend preschool at the age of sixC. the school system in Finland is better than that in SingaporeD. the school equipment in Finland doesn’t meet international standards31.

Asian countries are successful in school educationB. the school system in Finland has been very successfulC. students in these places are better than those in European countriesD. the educational system in Asia is different from that in the western world32. What can be the best title for the text?A. What Differences European Schools HaveB. What Good Schools Provide Students withC. Why Finland’s School System Is SuccessfulD. Why Finland’s School System Has ChangedDAdrian's "Amazing Race" started early when his parents realized that he, as a baby, couldn't hear a thing, not even loud noises. In a special school for the hearing-impaired (听觉受损的)，he learned sign language and got to mix with other disabled children. However, the sight of all the disabled children communicating with one another upset his mother. She wanted him to lead a normal life. So after speaking to an advisor, she sent him to private classes where he learned to read lips and pronounce words.Later on, Adrian's parents decided to send him to a regular school. But the headmaster tried to prevent them from doing so, saying regular school couldn't take care of a special needs student. His parents were determined to take the risk and push him hard to go through his work every day because they wanted to prove that, given the opportunity, he could do anything. Adrian made the grade and got accepted. It was a big challenge. The pace （节奏）was faster so he had to sit at the front of the class and really pay attention to the teacher, which wasn't always easy. But he stuck to it and did a lot of extra work after school.The efforts made by Adrian and his parents paid off. Adrian graduated with good grades and got into a top high school. He also achieved a lot in life outside school. He developed a love for the outdoors and went to Nepal to climb mountains. He even entered the World Yacht Race 05/06 ---- being the first hearing-impaired Asian to do so.But none of these achievements would have been possible without one of the most important lessons from his mother."If you believe in yourself and work hard, you can achieve great results." She often said.33.
