The snow was extremely heavy and there was lots of ice on the ground - not many people had ventured out that evening! When I returned to my car around 11pm, I noticed that I was the only car left. Nervously, I hopped into the car and let it warm up a bit. When I finally tried to drive away, my wheels began to spin. I was stuck! I spun and spun and wondered what to do. All of a sudden, in my rear view mirror, I saw four teen-aged boys approaching my car. They were walking side by side in a line and dressed a bit like gang members - at least I thought thats what they looked like. My car was in a very isolated area and I began to panic. I was certain they were coming to my car to harm me. Terrified, I just froze. One of the young men tapped on my window and said Excuse me, Maam, can we help you? You seem stuck. Still afraid and fearing the worst, I said I am stuck. And the young man said Its okay, stay in your car and well push you out of the snow. And they did!When they finally got me out of the snow, they smiled and waved. I rolled down my window and thanked them, embarrassed to have judged them so poorly.56.

Every man has his faults B. Fortune favors those who use their judgementC. Dont judge a book by its cover D. Think twice before you do.BFast food giant, McDonalds said on Tuesday that they would be cutting out excess calories in their kids menu choices starting in September. McDonalds will reduce the amount of French fries in Happy Meals and will also include sliced apple “dippers” in every meal. McDonalds say it will still include the ever-popular toys with each meal.“We are going to introduce more food groups such as fruits, vegetables and whole grains,” said Cindy Goody, McDonalds senior director of nutrition.After getting much of the blame for childhood obesity, fast food chains, especially McDonalds, began selling more nutritious menu items. But the restaurant was most criticized for its marketing which is often aimed at young children. Some cities, such as San Francisco, California, have banned toys from all kids meals that didnt meet strict nutritional guidelines for fat, salt and sugar content（含量）because the prizes attracted more children to the fast food.McDonalds felt public pressure to change their offerings. It reduced French fry portions from 2.4oz to 1.1oz in every meal. This decreases calorie content by about 20 percent, which means a new Happy Meal is less than 600 calories. Currently, the unhealthiest Happy Meal consists of a cheeseburger, fries and 1 percent chocolate milk, which contains 700 calories and 27 grams of fat.Meanwhile, Goody and her team plan to cut sodium（苏打） by 15 percent across the entire menu by 2015, with more cuts to sugar and calories by 2020. The Happy Meal changes will be in place in every place across the United States.60 .According to Cindy Goody, McDonalds menu for kids _.A. did no harm to the young people B. included more fruits and vegetablesC. didnt include any grains and fruits D. would be improved for kids health61. McDonalds encouraged kids to have fast food by _.A. selling cheaper food B. presenting prizes to themC. selling oatmeal and salads D. holding toy exhibitions62. A former Happy Meal includes about _.A. 750 calories B. 700 calories C. 600 calories D. 420 calories63. From the last paragraph we can know that _.A. McDonalds will make less money in futureB. McDonalds will be open in the whole worldC. meals in McDonalds will be healthier and healthierD. kids will not receive any toys from McDonaldsC Volunteering abroad is a great way to help others, improve your skills and become a more confident, independent person. If you are interested in volunteering abroad, here are some places to go.Australia If you seek a life on the beach, in a great climate with friendly people, Australia might be your best bet. With thousands of volunteers already signing up to leave for Australia during the holidays, it will be a very popular option. Brazil This vast country has some great opportunities on offer and is especially popular this year. A lot of volunteer work is available in Brazil centers on conservation and ecological projects. With the worlds largest rainforest in Brazil, of which huge part is in danger, there are lots of different jobs you can do. 英语试卷 第11页(共16页) 英语试卷 第12页(共16页)KenyaKenya is the destination for those seeking an African experience. Generally volunteers in Kenya work in orphanages(孤儿院)or with local children living in slums(贫民窟). There is a great demand for volunteers in Africa because many people live in poverty, so if you truly feel like making a difference to a community, Kenya should be at the top of your list.Costa RicaGolden sandy beaches, clear coastlines and beautiful cities are what Costa Rica is all about. Because of its small size, you can see a lot of the country in just a short time. You can really make the most of your time as a volunteer. A lot of work is needed with wildlife and ecological work, so if you want to look after turtles on the beach, Costa Rica could be just the place for you 64. If you are interested in protecting the environment, you will probably go to _ A. Australia B. Kenya C. Brazil D. Costa Rica65.1t can be inferred from the passage that volunteers in Kenya mainly work with _ . A. animals B. plants C. the elderly D. children 66.

A. work with animals on the beach B. surf with children in the water C. take care of trees in the forests D. look after children who have lost their parentsDDear Students,I am delighted to be your guest.I would like to tell you about myself. I have been a news reporter for the past fifteen years. I chose this job so I could travel the world, but the job has taught me many unforgettable lessons. The work is sometimes difficult. I have seen famines, wars, earthquakes, poverty and death. But I have also seen courage, hope and happiness.In India, I visited a city where there were many homeless children. Some were as young as four years old. They lived in the streets and survived by begging or stealing. But then a wonderful lady called Rosa opened a home for them. Within one year, she was looking after two hundred children. She clothed them, fed them, and taught them. She gave them hope.Another time, I was in Turkey after a terrible earthquake, in one place. I found an old lady whose house was in ruins, her son was missing and rescue workers said there was no chance that he was still alive. But the old lady did not give up hope. For four days, she moved heavy stones one at a time by herself. She did not stop until she found her son. He was alive.Here in China, I met a young boy with a serious condition. He had undergone twenty operations and spent nearly his whole life in hospital. I thought he would be sad, but when I met him, his smile was so warm and welcoming.In life, we need role models that we can admire and learn from. When my life is difficult, I try to remember the courage and goodness of these three people.67. The speaker is giving a speech to
