He continued, “It seems to me that something important is supposed to be happening today, but it must have just escaped my mind.” He pretended to think carefully, scratching his head.I stood with a wide smile on my eight-year-old face, knowing exactly what day it was, and knowing that Grandpa knew too. I knew what was coming next because Grandpa had always done the very same thing on my birthday ever since I could remember.He opened up one big hand to show a coin in the center of his palm. It looked very small, lying alone in his big hand. When I took the brightly shiny coin with my own hand, it seemed suddenly to become much bigger. It was a silver dollar, and Grandpa was giving it to me for my birthday. “Thank you, Grandpa,” I said gratefully, and then I heard his soft laughter as he put his arms around me. Every year on my birthday this scene repeated itself. I know now that Grandpa didnt have a lot of money, and probably had no idea what to give a little girl for her birthday. He could have let Grandma deal with the gift-giving for him, but he didnt. He wanted to give something himself, and it was that silver dollar.It wasnt the fact that it was money that made the gift so special but just the fact that every year he did the same thing, repeating the ritual. It was the thought, the gift from his heart that made the dollar tangible（可感知的）, “I remember you, and you will always be special to me.”51. Which of the following is true of Grandpa? A. He loves the granddaughter. B. He is stubborn. C. He cares about money. D. He is forgetful.52. Why did Grandpa always give me a silver dollar as a birthday gift? A. Grandma chose the gift. B. I preferred money. C. Perhaps he didnt know what to buy. D. He collected silver dollars.53. What does the author think of the gift? A. Expensive. B. Special. C. Unexpected. D. Strange.54. From the story we can know that _. A. Grandpa lived alone.B. The author missed Grandpa very much. C. Grandpa didnt trust others.D. The author regretted accepting the gift.B One day, a poor boy was trying to pay for school by selling things from door to door. He was hungry so he decided to ask for a meal at the next house. However, when a nice young woman opened the door, he changed to ask for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly and then asked. “How much do I pay?” “You neednt do that.” She said. “Mother has taught me to be kind.” “Then I thank you very much.” he said.As the boy, Howard Kelly, left the house, he felt strong and believed that people could be kind before he was about to give up.Years later, the young woman became seriously ill. She was sent to a big city, where experts can be called in to study her illness. When Dr.Howard Kelly, a very famous doctor now, heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. At once, he got up and went down through the hospital hall into her room. He recognized her and decided to do his best to save her life. From that day on, he tried to help her. After a long struggle, they won. Before she left hospital, the bill was sent to her room. She was afraid to open it because she thought that it would take a long time to pay it off. Finally, she looked, and to her surprise, she found these words on the bill: “ Paid with a glass of milk.” Signed Dr. Howard Kelly. Tears of joy flooded her eyes as she said silently. “Thank you，God. Your love has passed through hearts and hands.”55. Why was the woman sent to the big city?A. Her illness needed better experts. B.The hospital there was cleaner.C. She wanted to get the milk paid back. D. She wanted to see Howard Kelly again.56. The woman was afraid to open the bill because_.A. she worried about her illness.

This ad was probably designed to target_. .A. ItaliansB. EuropeansC. GermansD. AmericansD Experts say that it is not easy to get used to life in a new culture. “Culture shock” is the term specialists use when talking about the feelings that people have in a new environment. “There are three stages of culture shock,” say the specialists. In the first stage, the newcomers like their new environment. Then, when the fresh experience dies, they begin to hate the city, the country, the people, and everything else. In the last stage, the newcomers begin to adjust to their surroundings and, as a result, enjoy their life more. There are some obvious factors in culture shock. The weather may be unpleasant. The customs may be different. The public service systems-the telephone, post office, or transportation-may be difficult to work out. The simplest things seem to be big problems. The language may be difficult. Who feels culture shock? Everyone does in this way or that. But culture shock surprises most people. Very often the people having the worst culture shock are those who never had any difficulties in their home countries and were successful in their community. Coming to a new country, these people find they do not have the same established positions. They find themselves without a role, almost without an identity.They have to build a new self-image.Culture shock gives rise to a feeling of disorientation (迷惘). This feeling may be homesickness. When homesick, people feel like staying inside all the time. They want to protect themselves from the strange environment, and create and escape inside their room for a sense of security. This escape does solve the problem of culture shock for the short term, but it does nothing to make the person familiar with the culture. Getting to know the new environment and gaining experience are the long-term solutions to the problem of culture shock. 62. When people move to a new country, they _. A. will get used to their new surroundings with difficulty B. have well prepared for the new surroundings C. will get used to the culture of the country quickly D. will never be familiar with culture of the country 63. According to the passage, factors that give rise to culture shock include all of the following except _. A. language communication B. weather conditions and customs C. public service systems D. homesickness 64. When people are homesick, they tend to _. A. find some people to talk to B. go outside to have a walk C. visit their friends far away D. stay indoors all the time 65. The writer tells us that the best way to overcome culture shock is to _. A. protect ourselves from unfamiliar environment B. develop a strange sense of self-protection C. get familiar with new culture D. return to our own country第卷（非选择题，共40分）第四部分 单词拼写（共10小题；每题1分，满分10分）1.
