And we continue it today. When shopping, we were walking in the supermarket and noticed someone walking down the aisle with her head down. Skylar walked up to her and gave her a big smile. I watched her walk down the aisle, turned around and smiled at Skylar again or perhaps smiled at someone else. Kindness is a chain that pulls us all together. Every single act of kindness has a ripple effect (连锁反应). In 2002, my dad had a series of strokes and other illness. My dad had been doing nice things for all sorts of people for years, from the street crossing guard, to the waitress in a restaurant, to a friends mother. That same day, I made cookies for the janitor (门卫) at the post office. When I gave him the cookies he actually looked a little embarrassed. “Why, Linda?” he asked. “Because I appreciate you!” I answered. “When I get here at 6 am and it is still dark out and it is a little scary, I know you are inside and I feel safe. And when I first moved here and my post office box was always empty, you always cheered me on. And you always keep this place clean.”That evening his wife called me and said that he was overwhelmed (受宠若惊的). “No one even knows his name, let alone bakes him cookies！” she said.语篇解读：作者告诉我们在这个世界上，善良是很多问题的解决方法。并列举了两个事例，以此告诉我们善良是可以被传递下去的。1. What was the authors attitude to the contest in the supermarket? A. Positive.B. Negative.C. Neutral. D. Curious.解析：选A推理判断题。根据文章第二段“we were walking in the supermarket and noticed someone walking down the aisle with her head down”可知我们注意到一个人低头走路，情绪不高。“Skylar walked up to her and gave her a big smile. I watched her walk down the aisle, turned around and smiled at Skylar again or perhaps smiled at someone else.”可知我的孙女走了过去给对方一个笑脸，然后对方的情绪也好转了，对别人微笑。我很高兴，这说明作者对此持积极认可的态度。故A正确。2. From the text, what can we know about the janitor? A. He led a very poor life at that time.B. He always went to work after six oclock.C. He was fond of baking cookies.D. He was kind and grateful.解析：选D推理判断题。根据文章第三段最后两句“And when I first moved here and my post office box was always empty, you always cheered me on. And you always keep this place clean.”可知我刚搬来的时候，邮箱总是空的，这位门卫经常给我惊喜；还有他总是保持邮箱清洁，说明他很善良。再根据文章最后一段“That evening his wife called me and said that he was overwhelmed (受宠若惊的). ”可知他妻子特地打电话过来表示感谢，也说明这位门卫有感恩之心。故D正确。3. What does the passage mainly talk about?A. Kindness can always be passed on.B. An experience in a supermarket.C. The importance of having a kind dad.D. Smile makes your life meaningful.解析：选A主旨大意题。根据文章第一段“Sometimes, kindness is a simple answer in a difficult and challenging world.”作者告诉我们在这个世界上，善良可以解决很多问题。接着列举了我的孙女在超市里鼓励他人以及作者对门卫表示感谢两个事例，以此告诉我们善良是可以被传递下去的。故A正确。BTu Youyou together with William Campbell and Satoshi Omura won the 2015 Nobel Prize for their work against parasitic (寄生虫) diseases. Irish-born Campbell and Japanese Omura won half of the prize for discovering a new drug, avermectin (除虫菌类), that has helped the battle against river blindness and lymphatic filariasis, (淋巴丝虫病) as well as showing effectiveness against other parasitic diseases. The Chinese scientist Tu Youyou, an 85yearold female scientist, was awarded the other half of the prize for the discovery of artemisinin (青蒿素), a drug cure for malaria (疟疾) that has saved millions of lives all over the world, especially in the developing world.When the news broke that Tu won the Nobel Prize, there were cheers as well as doubts. It also has highlighted differences in prize-awarding practices between China and the West. Some said the achievement was the result of collective efforts by lots of Chinese scientists, so it was unfair to award the prize only to Tu. Indeed, Chinese science awards are mainly presented to projects, instead of individual scientists. But Western awards tend to honor individual scientists who are the first to come up with a new idea or method. Li Zhenzhen, a researcher of the China Academy of Sciences said that the West believes that the advancement of science comes from individuals creative minds. In 1969, Tu started to hold a government project aimed at eliminating malaria. Tu and her teammates experimented with 380 extracts in 2,000 candidate recipes before they finally succeeded in getting the pure substance qinghaosu, later known as artemisinin. In 2011, Tu was awarded the Lasker Debakey Clinical Medical Research Award, commonly referred to as “Americas Nobel Prize”. 语篇解读：本文主要叙述的是中国科学家屠呦呦获得诺贝尔医学奖的细节信息，并介绍了东西方在颁奖方面的一些差异。4. Why Tu Youyou could be awarded the Nobel Prize for?A. Because she discovered the avermectin, a drug cure for malaria.B. Because she contributed to the traditional Chinese medicine.C. Because she discovered the artemisinin which shows effectiveness against other parasitic diseases.D.

What is the difference in prize-awarding practices between China and the West?A. Chinese science awards are mainly presented to individual scientists, instead of projects.B. Chinese believes that the advancement of science comes from individuals creative minds.C. Western awards tend to honor individual scientists who are the first to come up with a new idea or method.D. Western awards are presented to both individual scientists and projects.解析：选C细节理解题。根据第二段“Indeed, Chinese science awards are mainly presented to projects, instead of individual scientists. But Western awards tend to honor individual scientists who are the first to come up with a new idea or method.”可知西方国家会颁奖给科学家个人，而东方国家则更看重整体而不是个人。故C正确。6. How old was Tu Youyou when she was awarded the “Americas Nobel Prize”？A. 85.B. 81.C. 46. D. 39.解析：选B推理计算题。根据第一段可知屠呦呦获得诺贝尔奖的时间是2015年，她85岁。再根据最后一句“In 2011, Tu was awarded the Lasker Debakey Clinical Medical Research Award, commonly referred to asAmericas Nobel Prize. ”可知她是在2011年获得了the Lasker Debakey Clinical Medical Research Award，当年她81岁。故B正确。7.

So I came over every summer break by myself, of course I had my parents permission to go that far.One day, we decided to head to the forest. I was looking forward to this trip because I knew that my cousin was an expert on tree climbing while I was not. So, as we walked closer and closer to the forest, I became jealous because I did not possess the ability to climb trees. When he started climbing a tree I was upset but I joined him hoping not to break my neck. Last summer break he invited me to his house. I was afraid of climbing to the tree so I gave up. But this time I tried climbing the tree. While I was climbing I was so scared like I was about to die at any moment. But when I was about to climb on the other branch I lost my balance.

According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.How to Be PreparedElectricity, water, gas (煤气) and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. Youll need food, water and so on. Its also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you. If youre indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If youre in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If youre outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If youre driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.After an EarthquakeCheck for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve (阀). If theres sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency (紧急情况). Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.语篇解读：本文主要讲了在地震发生前如何做准备；地震发生时以及地震后应该采取什么措施。12.

You should listen to the radio frequently.解析：选A细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot.”可知，地震发生时，厨房是个危险的地方，所以要避开。C、D两项是地震后应该做的事情；B项是不应该做的事。15. According to the passage, why doesnt the author advise driving after an earthquake?A. Because it is dangerous to drive as there will be aftershocks.B. Because your car will be easily damaged in the streets full of blocks.C. Because you should make way for emergency vehicles.D.
