Even before I learned to write, when I watched TV programs that showed animals from around the world that needed help, I drew the shapes of the phone numbers from the screen. I would take what I had copied to my mother and tell her, “We need to call here. They need help. We need to help them.”For my fifth birthday party, my mom said that we could ask my friends to bring donations (捐赠) of cat and dog food instead of birthday gifts. Then we could give them to the local animal shelter.When I first saw the big pile of pet food, I was amazed. Together, my friends and I could help many animals, I thought.Afterward, when we went to the shelter, we told the volunteer, “We’ve brought the animals here some cat and dog food. Could you open the back door so it will be easier to bring the food in?”The shelter worker looked at us and you could tell she thought opening the back door was unnecessary (不必要的). Finally, she said, “Okay.” Then, she met us around back, and when we opened the van loaded with food, her mouth hung open. “Wow! You sure do have pet food! What’s all this?”I told her about the whole story, and she almost cried. “You and your friends are so amazing! Thank you for being so generous (大方的) and kind.” We felt really proud. Even as little kids, we could do something big.She let me go through the shelter. Holding kittens, I felt my heart filled with love and joy, “We do make a difference.”24．The writer asked for cat and dog food instead of birthday gifts to .

He is known as "the father of China's space program" and "the king of the rocket".When he was 24 years old, Qian went to America for further study. After graduation, he worked in America for a few years, where his working conditions were better. In the early 1950s, he heard New China had been founded and decided not to stay in America any longer. He succeeded in coming back to his motherland in 1955 though the American government tried to stop him.In 1956, Qian Xuesen suggested setting up a special organization, which later became the leading organization for China's rocket and air travel programs. In June 1964, China successfully created its first medium rocket. Qian also played an important role in developing China's first man-made satellite. On April 24, 1970, "Dongfanghong-1" was successfully sent into the air.In 1964, a young man wrote Qian Xuesen a letter and pointed out a mistake in his published article. Qian immediately answered the letter and encouraged the young man to write an article about the mistake.Zhu Yilin, who was said to be the last student of Qian Xuesen, once said, "I learned a lot of professional knowledge as well as the spirit and attitude that a scientist should have from Mr. Qian, especially his deep love for the motherland. Without that, he couldn't have helped to develop science and technology when new China was badly in need of scientists for its development. Without that, he would not have made the great contribution (贡献) to rocket industry in the late 1950s and nearly 1960s when conditions in China were too hard."Mr. Qian has been dead for eleven years, but he will live in the memory of Chinese people forever.；27．Why did Qian Xuesen go to America when he was young?A．To find a new job.

Foreigners say learning Chinese is not easy for them. We use a different character for each word. For foreigners, it is hard to memories them. They find reading Chinese poems(诗), writing Chinese characters and understanding the same word in different sentences are the most difficult.However, Chinese is more popular around the world today. The long history and colorful culture of China attract(吸引) many foreigners to learn Chinese. China is developing(发展) fast. It is staying ahead in many fields and is playing its role in the world. Chinese is becoming a global(全球的) language.Many countries have Chinese classes in their schools. For example, in the UK, students chose between Spanish(西班牙语), Latin, French and other foreign language courses(课程) in the past. But now schools encourage their students to study Chinese.1031 people took Chinese language exams in 2001, and the number was 2062 last year, while 2561 people chose Spanish.Just as the foreigners do, we also learn foreign languages. Different languages carry different cultures(文化). So learning a foreign language is necessary(必要的), When we learn a foreign language, we not only have a useful tool of communicating but also experience a new culture. What’s more important, learning a foreign language well will help us tell our own stories to the world.30．When foreigners learn Chinese, they think .A．they are good at writing Chinese characters B．they can’t understand Chinese sentencesC．memorising Chinese characters is easy D．it is difficult to read Chinese poems 31．What can we learn from the passage?A．Chinese is easier to learn today.

It forms when the air temperature is at or below 0℃. In order for it to snow, there must also be some water in the air. Scientists showed that no two snowflakes are the same. They come in all sizes and shapes. When it is between -2.8℃ and 0℃, snowflakes are six-sided. If it is colder, snowflakes will be shaped like needles and stars.Countries including Russia, Canada and some parts of the US have heavy snow in winter. The most snow in one year in record fell in Mount Baker, US. Its total snowfall was 29 meters for the 1998 to 1999 season, according to USA Today. However, in some places, people have never seen snow, such as Singapore, some parts of India and most countries around the equator (赤道).In China, there is more snow in the north than in the south. The Nanling Mountains, on the border of Guangdong and Hunan provinces, may be the southernmost point in China to have snow. People in provinces such as Hainan don’t get snow.Other than snowstorms, snowfall is good for human being. Snow helps clean the environment. It cleans up the dust in the air and keeps the environment wet and comfortable.Snow is also im portant to farmers. As the Chinese saying goes, “A fall of seasonable snow gives promise of a fruitful year.” Snow can keep the ground warm and protect crops from freezing. Melted (融化了的) snow gives enough water to crops. It also lowers the temperature of the ground, killing bad insects in the earth, which helps for a good harvest in the next year.Snow is usually white. But sometimes you may see snow that is pink, brown, orange or red if the air is filled with dust, pollutants or sand. It was reported thatorange snow fell in Siberia in 2007 and some parts of Russia were covered by pink snow in 2010.33．When the air temperature is between -2.8 ℃ and 0℃, the snowflakes willbe .A．rounded B．six sides C．like stars D．like needles 34．People in have never seen snow.A．Russia B．the US C．Mount Baker D．Singapore 35．Melted snow can’t .A．keep the ground warm B．help kill bad insectsC．give water for crops D．make the environment wet and comfortable36．Which of the following is NOT true?A．Snowstorms are good for human being.

However, I would also suggest you make a not-to-do list. This list works well with the to-do list and it might be even more important. Let me explain.This is Mike. He loves video games and plays them every day. But he also has an important exam coming up. So Mike puts studying on his to-do list. That day, Mike picked up the books and studied for half an hour. Then he took a short break and played some games. However, he got so into the game that he played for three hours.The next day, Mike took on the challenge of studying in a different way. He decided to make a not-to-do list as well. And what he wrote down was: “No video games until 7:00 pm.” Mike went to study, did it for half an hour, and then took a break. However, he didn’t get on his computer like the day before because he didn’t allow himself to play at that time. Instead, he drank a glass of water. Then he returned to studying for three hours more on that day.Mike realized that having no restrictions (限制) was the problem. He was always choosing between work and free time. Because enjoying himself was an easier choice, hardly any work got done as a result. So Mike made a not-to-do list.Sometimes what you choose not to do matters more than what you decide to do. We shouldn’t just limit our “bad” behaviors but our “good” behaviors as well. For example, practicing the piano could be considered a good habit. But when you have other more important things in the moment, the piano becomes nothing more than a distraction (注意力分散). However, there’s one thing that should never end up on your not-to-do list. That is to learn something new every day.37．Did a to-do list help Mike prepare for his exam well?38．What did Mike write on his not-to-do list?39．How long did Mike study the next day?40．According to Paragraph 4, what problem has Mike realized?41．What does the writer want to tell us?五、完成句子（本大题共5小题）42．牛奶放了一宿已经馊了，所以我们不能再喝了。
