It was 1st January, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. I thought of getting the bank work out of the way. The bank person just nodded to my 35 “Happy New Year” when I sat in front of him.He was busy at that moment. After a few minutes he took my form and started filling in my details. I sat there 36 why we had computerized banking if we were still filling in forms.After waiting for a few more minutes, in which I showed all 37 of being impatient, I asked him if my work was done. He shouted even without looking at me, “Nothing is done, it will take time!”Just then I saw his morning cup of tea which had been lying there for ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned 38 cold while he was doing his work. Suddenly I felt what this man must be feeling when customers 39 me came always in a hurry to get their work done. We did not even 40 the need to thank them for being there. He must be feeling so 41 that “here comes another person who will push me for doing his work first.”On an instinct(直觉) I told him, “Sir, please have your tea, I am not in a hurry.” He suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact. I saw both of us sailing in the same boat. I felt that he was also 42 the small things in life like a cup of hot tea for a few more minutes. He gave me a smile and said, “It is an everyday affair with me; you are not in a hurry but 43 else will come, who will be in a hurry.”He really touched my heart with his wise 44 . I felt that we had all put shields (盾牌) on our hearts like we put gloves on our hands. All this time I thought of him as a robot, someone who was there for my convenience, 45 today I suddenly felt a strange closeness with him. I promised to be more friendly with people who helped me and be 46 that they were there for me.35. A. sad B. angry C. polite D. honest36. A. requiring B. wondering C. expecting D. arguing37.

B1（昌平）Freedom means many things to many people.

There’s no homework over the weekendand on vacation.”“Being able to watch my favorite channel Star Plus, CartoonNetwork whenever I like.”“Eating as many ice creams as I want.”“Going for school tours. On ly 4th and 5th class students gofor tours. We 3rd class students are not allowed.”“Not getting up early in the morning.”Radhika Jain (8 years) “Doing what I like but should be right …”“I will never do anything bad against rules like corruption.”“I won’t go against the government rules only of the rulesare right. Out of 100 percent if 80 percent say a rule is bad then it isbad.”Saloni (11 years)“We can do anything we want, like not going to school.” “Everything should be free. We should not pay money to buy anything.” “Can go anywhere I want … to the playground when exams are on.” “Chatting on phone with classmates or friends as long as I want.” “In school being able to play sports and not study.”“Flying kites.”Arihant Jain (12 years)1.

I've been preparing for my exams now for thelast two weeks．That's why I haven't written for such a long time．Since the beginning of this year we've been doing a project called “World Class”．Have you heard of it? Not everyone in the class could take part，but luckily I could．The school chose a “twin school”in a different area of the world．Our head teacher chose a school in Uganda, a country in Africa．They gave us someone to write to from that school．For three months，I've written to a girl called Louisa，who is the same age as me．It's been so interesting to hear about her life．She's told me all about her school and described her daily life．I can't believe that her school doesn't have any electricity．She goes to school from eight o'clock in the morning until six o'clock in the evening．I can't believe how lucky we are here!I love it because it's the first time I've thought about what life must be like somewhere else．I can't believe people miss classes here when everything is so easy for us．I think more people should help out with projects like this．At the weekend we're going to have a sports day to help raise money to send to the school．Perhaps one day I'll be able to go to Uganda and meet Louisa myself — who knows?Lots of love，Suzanne1．Suzanne hasn't written to Estelle for long because she is _______．A．writing to a girl B．preparing for her examsC．busy doing a project D．choosing a “twin school”2．Suzanne felt _______ to take part in the Project “World Class”．A．strange B．surprised C．thankful D．lucky 3．Suzanne and her classmates will ________________ to help their twin school this weekend.A．write letters B．send clothes C．raise money D．go to AfricaB3（丰台）Charlie was about to climb into bed when he found there was a light on in his garden shed (工棚).

Read the short passages below.10 million reptiles are killed every year. Their skin is used to make fashion items, like handbags and shoes.The main reason whales are in danger is that man kills them for their meat and oils.Orangutans live in rainforests. They want to live in peace,But people are cutting down the trees for wood and farming.This is a big problem because the trees are the orangutan’s homes.They are very difficult to find and study because they are shy animals. They are also our cousins!There isn’t enough bamboo for pandas to eat because man has cut down nearly half the bamboo forests. Research has shown that there are only about 600 giant pandas left in the wild in the world. Most of them live in China.Some people steal the turtle’s eggs to eat. The skin of the turtle is used to make some jewellery.In the Far East, rhinoceros’ horns are used to make medicines. They are also used to make ornaments.So what can you do to help protect them?●Try not to buy jewellery made from animals.●Try to keep the earth clean and free from pollution.●Tell other people about what you’ve learned.1.

He wore a white cap and drove a white truck.Of course, he delivered (分发) more than milk. There was cheese, eggs and so on. If we needed to change our order, my mother would write a note —“Please add a bottle of buttermilk next delivery”. Then she put the note and the empty bottles into the milk box. The next day, the buttermilk would magically appear.There was also a close relationship between families and their milkmen. Mr. Basille even had a key to our house, for those times when it was so cold outside that we put the box in the house, so that the milk wouldn’t freeze. And I remember Mr. Basille from time to time t aking a break at our kitchen table, having a cup of tea and telling stories about his delivery.I am sad that there is no home milk delivery today. Big companies produce cheaper milk, and milk is for sale everywhere. People may not need the milkman anymore.Recently, I saw an old milk box in the countryside and it brought back my childhood memories. I took it home and put it outside the door. My son’s friends always ask what it is. So I start telling stories of my boyhood, and of the milkman who brought us friendship with his milk.1. The milkman delivered milk to family _____ in the old days.A. by carB. by bikeC. on footD. by truck2. The writer’s mother put the note _____.A. into the bottlesB. into the milk boxC. in the kitchenD. in front of the door3. The writer brought back home an old milk box because he _____.A. missed the good old daysB. wanted to tell funny storiesC. needed it for his milk bottleD. wanted to give it to the milkmanB6（西城）A new museum about laziness has opened in Colombia’s capital, Bogota. But, you have to hurry if you want to find out about being lazy because the show lasts for only one week.The unusual show has displays (展品) that include things, such as sofas, beds, and anything that lets you take the weight off your feet. There are also plenty of televisions for visitors to watch while they walk around in the museum.The museum opened soon after the holiday season. The idea is for people to think about laziness, and perhaps change their behavior and lifestyle throughout the rest of the year.The museum’s keeper, Marcela Arrieta, said she wanted people to have a rethink about laziness and decide whether it really is a bad thing. She added, “We always think about l aziness as an enemy of work.” Ms. Arrieta may not be pushing for a shorter working week, but she could have a point in that we might require more free time than our jobs allow us. Avoiding the pressure (压力) of work and relaxing more may make us healthier and live longer.Try out her advice for yourself; take the weight off your feet, put your feet up, and think about being lazy.1. Visitors can ______ in the Museum of Laziness.A. repair sofasB. watch TVC. buy bedsD. get a job2. What does the underlined part mean in Paragraph 2?A. Relax yourself.B. Become excited.C. Lose weight.D. Take off your shoes.3. The museum’s keeper thinks that ______.A. museums are good places to visitB. work is a big enemy of lifeC. people should rethink about lazinessD. the unusual show is very successfulB7（延庆）Our three-year-old daughter Becky wanted a dog. But we were too busy to buy one. One day, Becky ran in, shouting, “Mom! Come to see my dog!” Her face wasred with excitement.I followed her to the bush and found a wolf! He was hurt. Seeingme, he stood up suddenly! I could see his teeth! God! My mouth feltdry. “Don’t be afraid. That’s Mom. She loves you, too,” Becky said.Then he became friendly. It was unbelievable!I rushed to find my husband and told him about the wolf. We should have killed the wolf, but Becky loved him. Besides, he was gentle to Becky. So we called the vet finally.Becky named the wolf Ralph and she carried food to him every day. Later, Ralph got well. They played together in the daytime. At night, Ralph would return to the mountains. Sometimes he disappeared but came back several days later.On Becky’s first day of school, we could see Ralph’s sadness. After the school bus left, Ralph lay by the side of the road and waited. When Becky returned, he got happy again. This continued throughout Becky’s school years.Twelve years passed. One day we heard that a wolf was killed. The other wolf was hurt and ran away. We were worried about Ralph. That night, Ralph returned with a wound(伤口). Becky held his head kindly and comforted him. We hope he could come through. However, he died.Becky cried. I noticed something strange in the bush---two little yellow eyes! Ralph’s child! Before he died，Ralph brought his child to us! He knew he would be safe here, as he had been. Ralph, Ralph… I was moved.“Don’t be afraid, Little…Ralphie. That’s Mom. She loves you, too.”1.

There are lots of reasons why they do this —mostly it is to find work, because all the big companies are in the cities and they need lots of people to work there. When there are lots of people living and working in a city, they need things like restaurants, shops, hospitals and schools, too. These are all more jobs that people need to do. There will be lots of transport in the city to move all the people around. Everything you could want will be found in a city: government offices, museums and art galleries, cinemas, big restaurants and parks.Unfortunately the city is much busier, more expensive, and more dangerous than the country. The air is not so healthy because of all the cars and trucks on the roads. There are so many people that it is not as friendly — you cannot get to know everyone as you do in the country, and people may get lonely. You do not have much room in the city — most people live in apartments — not houses, and they do not have gardens or lots of space, and because of all the people there is also a lot of noise.The country is much more friendly as everyone knows each other.It is much cheaper to live and there are less dangerous people thanyou find in cities. And perhaps the best thing is that you can have abig house with a garden and it will be very quiet. But there are notmany jobs or services there. There are also not many shops, schools orhospitals. And it is hard to get around.Every person is different, but more and more people choose to live in cities because there is so much to do there. What do you think about the city?1. Why do more and more people move to the cities?A.Because they want to find a job.B.Because they like to live in apartments.C.Because they want to make more friends.D.Because they like eating in big restaurants.2. Which sentence is true according to the passage?A.You can live a quiet life in the cityB.You can find a big house with a garden in the country.C.People can visit museums and art galleries in the country.D.Big companies in the country need lots of people to work there.3. The writer says the country is more friendly because __________.A. people can live quietlyB. people work togetherC. everyone has some friendsD. everyone knows each other参考答案B1:1. D 2. C 3.
