For years, she was a volunteer in our munity. I loved going to the local nursing home with her where she taught a ceramics(制陶技术) class. On one summer day, Mama told me to get changed and meet her at the car. I had planned to spend the day at the lake with friends. Why did she have to ruin everything? I imagined the cool lake water. Irritated，I climbed into the car and slammed the door shut. We sat in silence. I was too upset to make conversation. “Tasha, would you like to know where we are going?” Mama asked calmly. “No,” I said. “We are going to volunteer at a childrens shelter today. I have been there before and I think it would benefit you,” she explained. When we reached the shelter, Mama rang the doorbell. Moments later, we were greeted by a woman. She led us to the front room where all of the children were playing. I noticed a baby whose body was scarred with iron marks. I was told it was because she wouldnt stop crying. The majority of the children had noticeable physical scars. Others hid their emotional wounds. As I took in my surroundings, I felt a gentle pull on my shirt. I looked down to see a little girl looking up at me. “Hi. You want to play dolls with me?” she asked. I looked over at Mama for reinforcement. She smiled and nodded. I turned back and said, “Sure.” Her tiny hand reached up and held mine, as if to fort me. My mom taught me a valuable lesson that summer. I returned to the shelter with her several times. During those visits, some of the children shared their troubled pasts with me and I learned to be grateful for what I had. Today as I try to instill (逐渐灌输) these values in my own child, I reflect back to that experience. It was a time that I will never forget.4.The author admired her mom for .A. her kindness to others B. her excellent teachingC. her quality of honesty D. her positive attitude to life5.According to Paragraph 3, when she was asked to go out with her mom, the author was .A. excitedB. angryC. surprisedD. worried6.From the passage we learn most children in the shelter .A. were often punished by staffB. werent allowed to go outsideC. were once treated badlyD. all suffered from mental illness7.The underlined word “reinforcement” in the passage is closest in meaning to .A. truthB. helpC. fortD. supportCChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of being better readers than those who dont. With the help from their parents, children can learn techniques to improve their reading skills. “A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.” George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,” George said. “Parents are their childs first teacher.” Parents help their children build listening, phonics, prehension and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them. Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joines said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes bees adistraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series. Parents who do not read themselves should not count on their children being interested in it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.8. According to George, reading aloud to children_.Ahelps them correct mistakesBis helpful to their readingCis parents first duty to their childrenDcan get children out of televisions attraction9. The underlined word “distraction”(in Paragraph 4) means something that_Acan improve childrens readingBcan help childrens right way of readingCcan make children interested in readingDstop children from concentrating on reading10. Which of the following is important according to the fourth paragraph?AReading skills.BReading speed.CReading materials.DReading environment.11. If the passage is not pleted, which of the following can follow the fifth paragraph?AParents choose reading materials for their children.BAdvice is given to control their children.CWhat TV programs children can watch during reading.DHow children improve their reading by themselves.DMost heroes are not super. They dont appear in ic books, on television, or in movies. They just do what they believe needs to be done to make their world a better place. Bike Batman is one of them. Bike Batman is a 30-year-old married engineer who lives in Seattle, Washington. Hes a cyclist who also buys and sells bikes as a hobby.About three years ago, he was looking for a bike for his wife. He found one on Craigslist, a website where people list things they want to sell. As he often does, he also looked at Bike Index, a popular website that allows users to register their bikes and post reports when theyre taken. The bike, which he was considering purchasing, clearly matched one reported stolen onBike Index. Then he called the person who claimed to be the bikes owner and arranged to meet him supposedly to plete the sale. When the two men met, Bike Batman told the thief, “Youve got two options. You can wait until a police officer gets here, or you can just get out of here.” You can imagine what the thief did. After that first success, Bike Batman developed a safer routine. When he sees questionable bike ads on Craigslist, he cross-references(对照) the image with bikes reported on Bike Index. Once he has confirmed it with the owner, he arranges a meet-up with the thief and will call the Seattle police department so that officers can participate in the action. In more than half of the 22 cases in which he has got back and returned bikes, the thieves have been arrested. In one case, Bike Batman even helped a family recover a wide range of prized possessions that suspects had stolen during a home burglary. His nickname came from a discussion with a police officer who suggested he be called “Robin Hood”. Since he wasnt exactly stealing from the rich and giving to the poor, “Batman” seemed a better fit. The idea of a superhero punishing criminals feels pretty silly to him, but the main reason he continues his work is to keep up Seattles reputation as a friendly city. 12. Bike Batman is _. A. a superhero B. a website managerC. a Seattle citizen D. a police officer13. When Bike Batman discovers a questionable bike, he will first _. A. contact the owner of the stolen bikeB. look up the bikes information C. call the police department D. arrange to meet the thief14. Bike Batman helps find the lost bikes to _. A. bee famous B. help poor people C. punish bike thieves D. build a friendly city15. From the passage, we can learn that _.A. Bike Batman felt relieved to see the thieves arrested B. Bike Batman began his good deeds by accident C. the police failed to perform their dutiesD. the thieves refused to return the bikes第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。Eyesight plays a very important role in our daily life.
