When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads, paths, gardens, and playgrounds were all hidden under soft white snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen.第二部分阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。AIn October, I told the eightyearolds in the class I teach in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “Since all of you have done extra jobs around the house to earn some money，” I said, “then well buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.” I watched them while they walked up and down the supermarket. “Flowers！” Kristine cried. The group rushed towards the holiday plants.“You cant eat flowers.”It was wiser to use any extra money to buy something that could be turned into meals. “But Mrs Sherlock，” came the begging voice, “we want flowers.”Defeated finally, I put a pot of “funny” purple mums in the cart full of foods. “Shell like this one，” the children agreed.An organisation had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. We finally pulled up in front of a small house. A slightlybuilt woman with a weary face came to the door to welcome us.My little group ran to get the foods. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept on saying “Thanks.”much to her visitors pleasure. When Amy put the mums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. Shes wishing it was a bag of rice, I thought.We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, past the turkey, past the goods, straight to the mums. She put her face in them. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips. She was transformed(转变) before our eyes.The children were quiet. At that moment, they had seen for themselves the power they have to make anothers life better. The children had sensed that sometimes a person needs a pot of funny purple flowers on a dark November day.【解题导语】本文是一篇记叙文。作者让学生们给无法享用美味晚餐的人购买感恩节晚餐所需的食物，在孩子们的强烈要求下买了一盆紫色的菊花，送给了一位老太太。老太太看到花后，把脸埋在花里，然后露出了微笑。孩子们的善举和鲜花改变了老太太的心情和生活。21What does the story mainly tell us?AEveryone has the power to change the world.BActs of kindness can change someones life.CThe poor people may need flowers as well.

They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here, Schult was talking about his 1，000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the German state of North RhineWestphalia.“They are social sculptures，” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schults social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscows Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.HA Schults work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest(谦虚的) about his creations：“Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living.”Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why cant common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe its because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isnt, or whom artists are or should be.You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.【解题导语】本文是一篇议论文。德国艺术家Schult用垃圾做成雕像，以此提醒人们，我们现在生活在一个充满垃圾的时代，号召人们关注环境问题。24What do we know about Schults sculptures?

Youve made friends since childhood，but you still dont know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend：Always honestHonesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories. _There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. He/She may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she cant always listen immediately to your problems.Always respectful(尊敬的)A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.Always understandingIt is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving(体谅的) and understanding, even if it isnt his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesnt want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.【解题导语】本文是一篇说明文。什么样的朋友才是真正的朋友呢？本文作者给出了答案。27Whats the best title for the third paragraph?AAlways there for youBKeep your secretsCAlways be happy for youDRemember your important daysA解析：段落大意题。根据文章第三段的大意可知，本段主要讲真正的朋友在你遇到困难的时候会在你身边。28According to the passage, a true friend will always _Afollow your adviceBoffer a solution to your problemsClisten immediately to your problemsDrespect your opinion even if he/she disagrees with itD解析：细节理解题。根据第四段“A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not.”可知，真正的朋友不管同不同意你的观点都会尊重你的观点。29Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?ANever tell lies to friends.BMaking time for friends.CSharing fun with friends.DPaying attention to a friends opinions.C解析：细节理解题。A项在第二段提到了，B项在第三段提到了，D项在第四段提到了，唯独C项与朋友分享乐趣没提到。30Why does a true friend always forgive and understand you?ABecause he/she wants to help you.BBecause he/she doesnt want to lose you.CBecause he/she wants you to feel confident.DBecause he/she doesnt care about your mistakes.B解析：细节理解题。根据文章最后一段“A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesnt want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.”可知，真正的朋友总是能够原谅和理解你是因为他/她不想失去你。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。A major source of teen stress is school exams, and test anxiety is not uncommon.
