But your bikes are so old.” She was right. All my girls bikes were 1950s models, not the kind a kid today would likely choose.As Christmas 35 near, Emily and I went bike shopping. As we left one store, she _36 a Salvation Army volunteer standing next to a big pot. “Can we give something, Daddy?” she asked. “Sorry, Im out of 37 .” Throughout December, Emily continued to 38 hard. Then one day, she made a _39 announcement. “You know all the money Ive been saving?” she said hesitantly. “Im going to give it to the poor people.” So one cold morning before Christmas, Emily handed her total savings of $ 58 to a volunteer who was really very 40 . 41 by Emilys selflessness, I decided to contribute 42 of my old bicycles to a car dealer who was collecting used bikes for poor children. When I selected a shiny model from my collection, however, it seemed as if a second bike took on a glow (发光). Should I contribute two? No, one would be enough. But I couldnt shake the feeling that I should give a second bike. When I later delivered the bikes, the car dealer said, “Youre making two kids very 43 , sir. Here are your tickets. For each bicycle contributed, were 44 away one chance to win a girls mountain bike.”Why wasnt I surprised when that second ticket proved to be the winner?

D）中，选出最佳选项 AHow to become a Good SantaThere are good Santas and there are bad Santas. The good Santas all realize one thing: In the mind of a child, Santa Claus is perfect.Thats difficult. And so they come from around the world to attend the Charles W. Howard School in Midland, Mich. The school offers a three-day, 40-hour course for Santas hoping to be excellent. Theres a real range to what Santas earn, from big bucks for large events to no pay for charities. One thing for them all is a pure love for children.A former Macys Santa named Charles Howard founded the Michigan school in 1937. “Many people will think if you have a suit and youre a Santa,” said Tom Valent, the schools current dean. “Its more than that.” So with a pet reindeer, his properly named wife Holly and a workshop full of wonder.The school teaches everything from breathing techniques for carol singing to the beard maintenance. There are lessons in child psychology, sign language and even media training for talk-show appearances and call-in shows. Santas also need to make sure they know all the names of the reindeer. Whats harder to deal with, however, is children who ask for Christmas gifts like bringing daddy home or making mommy happy again.After spending time in the classroom, Weir went to the mall to test his training. However, at one point, his hat fell off, and he was unsure how to react. “Youre the real Santa,” Valent said. “Pick that hat up, slip it back on, keep smiling and do your job. Youve got to stay on top of your game. Even the last one at night, when youre tired, youve got to remember: This ones forever, so do a good job.” 46. According to the passage, good Santas should be the ones that _. A. can offer the children some gifts B. help adults look after their children C. have ability to make children happy D. should be perfect in the mind of children 47. The underlined words “big bucks” should refer to _. A. lots of money B. many gifts C. loves for children D. gifts from children 48. The Michigan school was founded by Charles Howard with the purpose to _. A. train the pet reindeer for the Santas B. earned money from its students C. train perfect Santas for the world D. show the worlds concern to the poor 49. According to Weirs performance, we can conclude that _. A. Weir was short of experience B. Weir was not fit for the job as a Santa C. Weir did very badly in the game D. Weir was not a good student in school BFor many of us, cartoon strips are simply one of our pastimes. The popular Japanese manga(漫画) provides us with an escape from reality into a world of fantasy, adventure and romance. With much less text and pictures running for pages, it fits perfectly into todays fast, throwing away city lifestyle.But Tsai Chih-chung, a famous Taiwanese illustrator (漫画家), doesnt agree. He believes cartoons can be a bridge connecting traditional Chinese culture and wisdom with the modern world in a much wittier and more acceptable way.He has interpreted Lao Zi, Confucius, Mencius, Zhuang Zi and Sun Zi and made their works accessible to a global audience. He has also produced two books about Zen (禅宗), introducing oriental philosophy. His cartoons are humorous yet full of wisdom and are admired as an easy way to learn Chinese classics.After avoiding the public for ten years, Tsai made a comeback in late April with seven new works. But does his age, 61, work as a gap between him and his young readers? Tsai doesnt think so. The topics he has covered range from philosophy in a time of individuality to the learning and memorizing techniques used at school. Every child is a genius and has the potential beyond his own imagination, he said.If popular Japanese manga is purely for entertainment, Tsais work, to a large extent, is to light the power of thinking in a light-hearted way. Tsai uses different forms of water to refer to people. In his eyes some people are like an ocean, some are like vapor, while others may be ice or rain. But in essence they share a similarity human beings forever chasing for the true and the good. The person who thinks over life issues is not necessarily a scholar or a philosopher, he said. Ive dedicated my whole life to thinking and individual freedom, not making a living.50. What is the main idea of the first paragraph in the passage?A. Japanese manga is a simple way of killing time. B. What Japanese manga is mainly about.C. Japanese manga presents a world of fantasy, adventure and romance.D. Why Japanese manga is so popular. 51. In Tsai Chih-chungs opinion, cartoon _.A. connects traditional Chinese culture and wisdom.B. helps connect Chinese classics with modern world. C. uses a wiser and acceptable way to draw cartoons.D. builds up a bridge between cartoons and illustration.52. What is the main difference between Japanese manga and Tsais works in this passage?A. His works are mainly designed for a pure time killer for all.B. His works are more popular with young readers in China now.C. His works are to inspire people to think in a cheerful way.D. His works are much more interesting and instructive.53. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE about Tsai Chih-chung?A. He thinks some people are like ocean, some like vapor, while others like ice cream.B. He says that one who thinks over life is either a scholar or a philosopher.C. He values more thinking and personal freedom than making a living.D. Tsai devoted his life to creating cartoons in order to make money. CKANDAHAR, AfghanistanAfghans burned tires and shouted “Death to America” after US troops fired Monday(April 12, 2010) on a civilian bus near Kandahar, killing four people and wounding more than a dozen. Afghanistans president accused NATO of breaking its commitment to safeguard civilian lives.The attack angered Afghan officials and the public in Kandahar, the Talibans birthplace, and dealt a blow to US and NATO efforts to win popular support for a coming offensive to drive the insurgents(叛乱分子) from the biggest city in the south. NATO expressed regret for the loss of civilian lives and said it was investigating.Nearly 200 Afghans blocked highway where the shooting occurred, burning tires, firing weapons and shouting “Death to America” and other slogans. They also called for the ouster (forcing somebody out of a position) of Afghan President Hamid Karzai, a Kandahar native who has been appealing for the people here to support the USled campaign against the Taliban. “The Americans are constantly killing our civilians and the government is not demanding an explanation,” protester Mohammad Razaq said，“We demand justice from the Karzai government and the punishment of those soldiers responsible.”Kandahar, a city of about a half million people, is nominally under government control, but the Taliban havestepped up infiltration(浸润), staging attacks and threatening local people.“These foreigners have their enemies, but killing Afghans is not the answer,” said Abdul Hadi, who sells homemade herbal medicine in a public market. He said international forces should publish a schedule of their patrols(巡逻) so Afghans can keep out of the way.“Better yet, I would like to see them leave Afghanistan,” he added.Haji Zahir, who runs a transport firm, said it was time for US and other foreign forces to withdraw from the country. “They say they want to bring security. It is all lies, lies. They kill Afghans. That is not the way to bring security,” Zahir said.54. According to the passage, we can safely conclude that . A. American soldiers are killing Talibans effectively B. anger rises as US troops kill 4 Afghans on a bus C. NATO expressed great dissatisfaction with American troops D. Afghan President Hamid Karzai required NATO to withdraw55. The underlined word in Paragraph 5 “nominally” most probably means . A. completely unknown to the people in the world B. partially well-known to the people across the globe C. bearing the name of a famous person around the world D. officially described as something, when this is not really true56. As for NATO soldiers rude action, Abdul Hadi is . A. absolutely angry and upset B. a little pleased but impatient C. very angry and dissatisfied D. impatient but bearable57. We can infer from the passage that . A. NATO troops can completely control Afghanistan B. NATO troops can bring security to Afghanistan C. Afghans will accept NATOs control sooner or later D. its impossible for NATO to conquer Afghanistan and its people第2节 ：Sam、David、Ezra和Terry想通过选修某一门课程解决各自的问题。阅读下面五门选修课程的 介绍（A、B、C、D和E），选出可以解答各自疑问的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余选项。58.
