His “shelter” was a tarpaulin (油布) tied to rocks to keep the wind from blowing it away. He had been living there for over a month. I never saw him with warm clothing or food. I knew what I wanted to do. When I told my parents what I wanted to do they were alarmed. They said I could be putting myself at risk, taking a box to a homeless person at night! But I knew, in my deep heart, that I would be safe. I got a box. My parents watched as I added warm gloves, a heavy blanket . into the box until it was full! Then, I put a Christmas card on top. It said, “Even though we hardly know each other, I want to wish you a Merry Christmas!” I put ten one-dollar bills inside it as well.My father insisted he went there with me as it was 10 pm on Christmas Eve. I said he could drive me but he had to stay in the car. He agreed. I took the box and walked towards his “house”. I called, “Sir, I have a Christmas box for you!” “Go away!” he shouted. “Sir,” I repeated. “Go away!” he shouted. “Why?” I asked him.He walked over and I expected to see an angry face. Instead I saw two of the most beautiful, gentle, blue eyes I have ever seen. “Merry Christmas!” I said. “Why are you doing this?” he asked. “Because you matter to me,” I said. With that I gave him the box. Tears came to his eyes and he thanked me. I got back to the car and watched him carry the box like it was filled with gold. I didnt want to embarrass (使困窘) him by watching him any more so Dad and I left. 21. The underlined word “alarmed” can best be replaced by _.

The bear was thin and small, moving aimlessly.Just a few minutes later, I heard my daughter shouting, “Dad! The bear is right behind us!” An aggressive bear will usually rush forward to frighten away its enemy but would suddenly stop at the last minute. This one was silent and its ears pinned back- the sign (迹象) of an animal that is going in for the kill. And it was a cold April day. The bear behaved abnormally, probably because of hunger.I held my camera tripod (三脚架) in both hands to form a barrier as the bear rushed into me. Its huge head was level with my chest and shoulders, and the tripod stuck across its mouth. It bit down and I found myself supporting its weight. I knew I would not be able to hold it for long.Even so, this was a fight I had to win: I was all that stood between the bear and my family, who would stand little chance of running faster than a brown bear.The bear hit at the camera, cutting it off the tripod. I raised my left arm to protect my face; the beast held tightly on the tripod and pressed it into my side. My arm could not move, and I sensed that my bones were going to break.Drawing back my free hand, I struck the bear as hard as I could for five to six times. The bear opened its mouth and I grasped its fur, trying to push it away. I was actually wrestling (扭打) with the bear at this point. Then, as suddenly as it had begun, the fight ended. The bear moved back toward the forest, before returning for another attack(袭击)- The first time I shook with fear.Surely satisfied that we caused no further danger, the bear moved off, destroying a fence as it went. My arm was injured, but the result for us could hardly have been better. Im proud that my family reminded clear-headed when panic could have led to a very different result.25.

It has been announced that a comet (彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earths atmosphere (大气层) with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound. The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed. Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north wont escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero. Crops are ruined. The sun wont be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 million years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldnt live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?28What is mainly described in the passage?A. A historic discovery.B. An event of imagination.C. A research on space.D.

First theres self-honesty. Is what people see the real article or do you appear through smoke and mirrors? I find that if I try to be something Im not, I feel unsure of myself and take out a part from my PBA (personal bank account). I love how singer Judy Garland put it, “Always be a first-class version of yourself, instead of a second-class version of somebody else.” Then theres honesty in our actions. Are you honest at school, with your parents, and with your boss? If youve ever been dishonest, I think we all have, try being honest, and notice how whole it makes you feel. Remember, you cant do wrong and feel right. This story by Jeff is a good example of that: In my second year of study, there were three kids in my math class who didnt do well. I was really good at it. I would charge them three dollars for each test that I helped them pass. Id write on a little piece of paper all the right answers, and hand them off. At first I felt like I was making money, kind of a nice job. I wasnt thinking about how it could hurt all of us. After a while I realized I shouldnt do that any more, because I wasnt really helping them. They werent learning anything, and it would only get harder down the road. Cheating certainly wasnt helping me. It takes courage to be honest when people all around you are getting away with cheating on tests, lying to their parents, and stealing at work. But, remember, every act of honesty is a deposit (储蓄) into your PBA and will build strength .32. The underlined part “appear through smoke and mirrors” in the first paragraph means “ ”. A. to be honest B. to be unreal C. to become clear D. to come from an imagined world答案：B解析：猜测词义题。第一段第二句：人们看到的是真实的你还是出现在雾里、镜里的你？由此可知：appear through smoke and mirrors为“to be unreal”，表示“不真实”的意思。难度系数：33. Which of the following can best explain Judy Garlands words? A. Be your true self rather than follow others. B. Dont copy others or you cant be the first class. C. Make efforts to be the first instead of the second. D. Dont learn from others unless theyre excellent.答案：A解析：推理判断题。综观全文，这句话可以理解为：做一个真正的自我，不要一味效仿别人。难度系数：34. What does the author expect to show by Jeffs story? A. honesty can be of great help. B. A bad thing can be turned into a good one. C. Helping others cheat can do good to nobody. D. One should realize the wrong in his bad deeds.答案：A解析：事实细节题。第二段最后一句告诉我们：通过讲述Jeff的故事，作者希望人们做错了事情，应该自己意识到错误。难度系数：35. In the last paragraph the author mainly wants to express . A. one must be brave to be honest B. its difficult to be honest when others are not C. one should be honest when making a deposit D. honesty in ones actions can help him in the future答案：A解析：主旨大意题。最后一段告诉我们：人们减实的举动，会对自己的未来有益。难度系数：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。 36 Home can be a great place for children to study. Its important to provide a workspace of their own where they can read books or just write a letter to their friends.Location(位置) 37 Kitchen and dining room are not so well suited for regular study, since books and pens get in the way of the day-to-day uses of those areas. Set up a place where a child can settle in and leave papers and pens at band without having to clear everything away each night. For a child that likes being alone, set aside a corner of his bedroom, but keep it separate from things like games, music and other hobbies not related to studying.Keeping Things in OrderParents should encourage their child to spread out, but to leave it neat and orderly when he isnt using his workspace. Ownership is very important for self-respect 38 The workplace should be personal, but not another part of the playroom. 39 Encourage the whole family to help build a supportive environment that children need for success in school.
