In time, the group developed into five regulars(常客) ：Will and Kindu, Philippe Medina, Juan Carlos Robinson and Carlos Suarez.“In the beginning, it was just a lot of kids moving all over the place，” says Michael, Riptons father. Things then began changing in small ways. When the Rosens realized Carlos wasnt attending school because he didnt have suitable clothes, they bought him some. Then one night, they took the group to a bookstore after a Chinese dinner and realized there were other_needs. “The boys had no interest in books at all，” Michael says. Back at the penthouse, he insisted they sit down to read aloud and start a halfhour reading period before video games or television every day.Slowly the five black boys became a necessary part of the Rosen family. Housework was assigned, including cleaning, loading the dishwasher and walking Mr Jenkins, the family dog.The boys own families were puzzled by what was happening. “My mom didnt believe me when I told her about the penthouse，” says Kindu. “She thought I was involved with something bad.” Juan Carloss mother, Esther Ruiz, wondered, “Why would the Rosens be doing this？” But as time went on, she noticed changes in her son. “He was geting responsible.

Its other concerns are love, getting on with others, being persistent and courageous and trying to deal with doubts, troubles and worries. As the book moves to a close，James swimming coach says to him，“You are not like a kid obeying instructions any more. You are diving like a young man who knows where he is going.”The characters：James is the hero of the story. He is a championship diver, and has a comfortable life with his foster parents(养父母). Yet he also has the qualities to take him on a long journey to find his birth mother. The other characters in The SnakeStone, James parents, his diving instructor, best friend，the villagers, people he meets on his journey, are pictured realistically.The turning point：The turning point in the story comes while James foster parents are away in London, and he wonders about the identity of his birth mother. The only clue he has is a fossil，“the snake stone” which she left behind along with a note on which she had written ，“Take good care of Sammie.” It was written on a torn envelope with parts of an address still there.The journey: Instead of going to London, James decides to find his birth mother. With help from his geography teacher, James sets out for the remote country village where his mother might be found. James has painful, challenging, but also humorous and happy travels. The mother he finally meets, Anne, has a minor yet powerful voice in the novel. He comes to understand why she left him at a strangers door fifteen years before. Although the meeting is not long，it leaves him with a feeling of completeness. As a journey of selfdiscovery The SnakeStone also provides its readers with a happy ending. Its hero says, on returning to his foster parents，“I was home.”60What is the main theme of the novel?ALife with foster parents.BLife in the world of diving.CA journey of selfdiscovery.DA travel around the country.答案：C主旨大意题。由第二段“The theme”的第一句，“The main theme is a teenage search of selfdiscovery”可知答案选C项。61What do the coachs words in Paragraph 2 suggest?AJames is a successful diver.BJames is a hopeful swimmer.CJames is an outgoing young man.DJames is an independent young man.答案：D句意理解题。第二段最后“You are not like a kid obeying instruction any more.

There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people，working in homes for homeless children, and picking up the waste from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers dont expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy ，a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresas homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school when we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I, too, wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest，I dont think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not only come to help, but also to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”64Whats the best title of this passage?AVolunteers Sharing As Well As HelpingBVolunteers Washing As Well As CleaningCVolunteers Cheering As Well As PlantingDVolunteers Caring As Well As Understanding答案：A标题归纳题。从文章的开头及结尾都已表达出“Volunteer”的两层含义及“通过帮助别人学习对方文化以帮助自己对生活及整个世界的理解。”故选A项。65According to the text，a volunteer refers to a person who _.Ais willing to help those in need without rewardBcan afford to travel to different placesChas a strong wish to be successfulDhas made a big fortune in life答案：A细节理解题。由文章第一段最后一句“volunteers dont expect any kind of pay”可知。66Tracy started her work as a volunteer _.Aafter she met Mother TeresaBafter she finished high schoolCwhen she was touring CalcuttaDwhen she was working in a hospital答案：B细节理解题。文章第三段倒数第二句“.after I graduated from high school，I，too wanted to try her kind of work”已告知特雷西是中学毕业后从事志愿者工作的。DMany plants and animals live together, and they depend on each other. They are usually very different from their sharing partner, and yet all live easier lives because of each other. It is natures idea of sharing. An example of this is the shark and pilot fish. The pilot fish is a little guy and he would be helpless if he hung around by himself in the great ocean. But his smartness makes up for his size. He cleverly swims along beside the shark and when the shark eats, the pilot fish gets the leftovers. The shark also benefits from this relationship. The pilot fish cleans food scraps (碎屑) and insects from the sharks skin. Another example is the sea anemone (海葵) and striped clown fish. The sea anemone looks like a flower but contains poisonous cells. When small fish swim into it, the anemone traps and paralyzes (使麻痹) them. However, the striped clown fish is able to swim into the poisonous anemone without being harmed. To pay for his safety, the clown fish brings food to the anemone. He also guides oth
