life far away from home. there was a knock at the door. when i opened it, susan came in with a home-made apple pie. she hugged me and said：“you must be the precious chinese doll!” with a big smile, she went on：“alice, i am sure you have never, ever tried a home-made apple pie before! you are going to love it so much!” to be honest, i was greatly surprised by this welcome from a stranger. and the apple pie made me feel at home. susan was very helpful to me. when i was thinking about a costume to wear on halloween, she suggested i dress up like a traditional chinese girl. “i happen to have a traditional chinese dress and guess what, i am a great make-up artist!” she said. susan didnt hide her excitement, when, after an hour of hard work, she pushed me to the mirror to examine our work.

morning, i was surprised to find a gift box in my front yard. there was a note on it：“hello alice, i am the thanksgiving bunny! enjoy your gift!” i looked around and caught susan looking at me from the porch. seeing that she had been caught, she awkwardly picked up a newspaper and pretended to read it. i couldnt help laughing. when i walked up to her, she said：“it was not me. it was the thanksgiving bunny!” susan is such a lovely person; she is the american above all others i need to thank. i saw that the spirit of the chinese saying, that “neighbors carry more weight than distant

influence on the art world of her time. sadly, she is actually a much bigger name today than she was during her time. born in 1907 in a village near mexico city, kahlo suffered from polio(小儿麻痹症)at the age of seven. her spine(脊柱)became bent as she grew older. then, in 1925, her back was broken in several places in a school-bus accident. throughout the rest of her life, the artist had many operations, but nothing was able to cure the terrible pain in her back. however, the accident had an unexpected side effect. while lying in her bed recovering, kahlo taught herself to paint. in 1929, she got married to diego rivera, another famous mexican artist. riveras strong influence on kahlos style can be seen in her early works, but her later works from the 1940s, known today as her best works, show less influence from her husband. unfortunately, her works did not attract much attention in the 1930s and 1940s, even in her home country. her first one-woman show in mexico was not held until 1953. for more than a decade after her death in 1954, kahlos works remained largely unnoticed by the world, but in the 1970s her works began to gain international fame at last.29what does the phase “a much bigger name” in paragraph 1 most probably mean?a. a far better artist. b. a far more gifted artist.c. a much stronger person. d. a much more famous person.30the terrible pain kahlo suffered was caused by .a. polio b. her bent spinec. back injuries d. the operations she had31kahlos style had become increasingly independent since the .a. 1930s b. 1940s c. 1950s d. 1970s32 what is the authors attitude toward kahlo?a. devotion. b. sympathy. c. worry. d. encouragement.d if your family is like many in the united states, keeping a lot of bottled water at home, its easy to get a cold one right out of the fridge on your way to a soccer game or activity, right?but all those plastic bottles use a lot of fossil fuels and pollute the environment. in fact, americans buy more bottled water than any other nation in the world, and add 29 billion water bottles a year to the problem. in order to make all these bottles, manufacturers use 17 million barrels of crude oil (原油). thats enough oil to keep a million cars going for twelve months.so why dont more people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet? some people drink bottled water because they think it is better for them than water out of the tap, but thats not true. in the us, local governments make sure water from the faucet is safe.people love the convenience of bottled water. but maybe if they realized the problems it causes, they would try drinking from a glass at home or carrying water in a refillable steel container instead of plastic.unfortunately, for every six water bottles we use, only one makes it to the recycling bin. the rest are sent to landfills. or, even worse, they end up as trash on the land and in rivers, lakes and the ocean. plastic bottles take many hundreds of years to break down.water is good for you, so keep drinking it. but think about how often you use water bottles, and see if you can make a change. and yes, you can make a difference. remember this: recycling one plastic bottle can save enough energy to power a 60-watt light bulb for six hours. no matter who you are, you can do something for the environment. join us and protect the environment.33whats the best title for this passage?a. drinking water: bottled or from the tap?b. how to save more energy?c. why is it good to drink water out of the tap?d. stop drinking bottled water from now on.34according to the passage, why dont some people drink water straight from the kitchen faucet?a. because they think bottled water is healthier than water out of the tap.b. because local governments dont make sure that water from the faucet is safe.c. because bottled water is much cheaper than water out of the kitchen faucet.d. because water out of the kitchen faucet is not provided anywhere.35the author may disagree that _.a. it is very hard for plastic bottles to break downb. if we used one bottle less, more oil would be savedc. bottled water is very convenient to drinkd. plastic bottles have been causing less and less pollution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。money mattersparents should help their children understand money. 36_ so you may start talking about money
