Tuesdays Daily News said 29-year-old Allen left the spot quickly after the rescue last Saturday. He lifted the little girl out of the water after she fell off the bank at the South Street Scaport Museum. He handed the girl to her father, David Anderson, who had gone to buy something and soon ran to dive in the water after him. “I didnt think at all,” Allen told the Daily News. “It happened very fast. I reacted very fast.” Allen, an engineer on vacation, was walking with his friend along the river when he saw something falling into the water. He thought it was a doll, but realized it was a child when he approached the river. In an instant, he took off his coat and jumped into the water. When he reached the girl, she appeared lifeless, he said. Fortunately, when she was out of the water, she opened her eyes. Anderson said his daughter slipped off the bank when she was taking photographs. An ambulance(救护车) came later for her, said Allen, who was handed dry clothes from onlookers(旁观者). Allen caught a train with his girlfriend shortly after. The rescue happened on the day before he left for France. Allen said he didnt realize his tale of heroism when he was leaving the next morning. “I dont really think Im a hero,” said Allen. “Anyone would do the same thing.”24Why was Allen in New York?ATo go on a business trip.BTo work as an engineer.CTo spend his holiday.DTo visit the Andersons.25What did Allen do shortly after the ambulance came?AHe was interviewed by a newspaper.BHe asked his girlfriend for his dry clothes.CHe went to the hospital in the ambulance.DHe disappeared from the spot quickly.26Who dived after Allen into the river to save the little girl?ADavid Anderson.BA passer-by.CHis girlfriend.DA taxi driver.27What is probably the headline of this news report?AA Careless Father.BBrave Frenchman Found.CWarm-hearted Onlookers.DA Poor Girl. CIt was one of the hottest days of the dry season. We had not seen rain in almost a month. The crops were dying. Cows had stopped giving milk. The streams were long gone back into the earth. If we didnt see some rain soon we would lose everything.I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my sixyearold son, Billy, walking toward the woods. He was obviously walking with a great effort.trying to be as still as possible. Minutes after he disappeared into the woods, he came running out again, toward the house.Moments later, however, he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods. This activity went on for over an hour: walking carefully to the woods, then running back to the house. Finally, my curiosity got the best of me. I slowly stepped out of the house and followed him on his journey.He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked, being very careful not to spill the water he held in them. Branches and thorns slapped(拍打) his little face but he did not try to avoid them. He had a much greater purpose. As I leaned in to spy on him, I saw the most amazing site.Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him. But Billy walked right up to them. I almost screamed for him to get away. And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground, obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and tiredness, lift its head with great effort to drink the water cupped in my beautiful boys hand.I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life. As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground, they were suddenly joined by other drops.and more drops.and more. I looked up at the sky. It was as if God, himself, was weeping with pride.28Why did the author follow her son?ABecause there might be danger.BBecause she was curious.CBecause her son was doing a good deed.DBecause she intended to help.29What Billy did mainly showed that he was _Acaring Bbeautiful Cchildlike Dbrave30Which is the correct order of the development of the story?The author was moved to tears.Billy fed the water to the baby deer.Billy walked towards the large deer.It began to rain.The author followed Billy into the woods.A BC D31At the end of the story, the author might experience different feelings EXCEPT that _ABilly was a prideBGod was touched by Billys activityCBilly was so kind to the animalsDthe rain should have dropped earlierD“Beating is a sign of affection, cursing (骂)is a sign of love.”Many people may not expect to hear the words of the old Chinese saying in these modern timeswith parents wealthier and better educated than they have ever beenbut experts say they still ring true.Today, it seems, Chinese parents are more likely to send their children to precollege military academies(军事学院) in the United States in the hope that some tough love will pave the way to success.“Good education doesnt mean offering your child a better future, especially our boys,” said Song Wenming, a rich businessman in Jinhua, East Chinas Zhejiang province. “They should be raised in tough conditions to know what to fight for in the future.”In August, Song sent his 17yearold son to Valley Forge Military Academy (VFMA) in Pennsylvania. And he is far from alone, even though it takes a lot of money- around $48, 000 per yearto send a child to a strict military school.Statistics shows that an increasing number of Chinese students have been registering with such academies.A few years ago, there were no Chinese students at Valley Forge. Today, there are 28. “All of the Chinese students at Valley Forge came from wealthy families, some of whom were spoiled (溺爱),” said Jennifer Myers, director of marketing and communications at the school.Songs only son, Song Siyu, had a difficult start during his first six weeks at the school. The teenager said he was willing to go to the school but did not expect it to be so difficult.Now, three months later，he has perfected the art of taking a bath in 35 seconds, finishing a meal without looking at his food, and making his bed as required. He can even take criticism(批评), no matter how unreasonable.“The training is hard but I know it is good for self-development of the young,” said Song Siyu. “The endless training and scolding are just ways to build up our character, and they are not personal.”But his enthusiasm is not universal. Ten of the 13 Chinese students who joined the academy this year have moved to other schools.But for those who stick with it, there is a reward for all the hard work.32From the second paragraph, we can know the old Chinese saying _Ais out of date in modern timesBis disagreed by rich parentsCis still worth trustingDis deeply believed by better educated parent33The underlined sentence means that_ASong sent his only son to military school, so he feels lonelyBSong is the only one who sends his child to military schoolCThe fee of the military school is so high that only Song can afford itDThere are other people sending their children to military school besides Song34Song Siyu got some achievements in the military school EXCEPT _Ataking a bath in a short timeBhaving his meal with his eyes closedCtaking unreasonable criticismDimproving his character35Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?AIts likely that more and more Chinese students will attend VFMA.Bmost Chinese parents approve of educating their children by beating and cursing nowadays.CSong Siyu had no difficulty in becoming used to the life at VFMA.DMost Chinese students support the way of education at VFMA.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。If you asked a teacher in China what makes a good student, he or she would probably tell you that a good student is someone who gets good grades in exams.It is true that most teachers share this opinion. 36 She says that she hates to see her students study day and night under the pressure of exams.
