The priest took her inside. The child was very happy because they found a room for her . She went to bed that night thinking of the children who had no place to sleep or pray in. Two years later , the girl died there. As her little body was being moved, a worn and red purse was found, which she had found in the rubbish .Inside the purse was 57cents and a note , written in childish handwriting, which read :“This is to help make the little church bigger so more children can go to Sunday school.” After the priest tearfully read that note, he told the story of her unselfish love and devotion(热爱) to others. Soon, a newspaper reported on it .It was read by a wealthy man who offered the church a piece of land worth many thousands of dollars. When told that the church could not pay much, he offered to sell it to the little church for 57 cents. Soon, the church collected a large amount of money. Within five years, the girls gift had increased to $250,000. When you are in the city of Philadelphia, visit Temple Baptist Church , Temple University, and the Sunday school building .No child here is left outside on Sunday school days again . One of the rooms of the Sunday school building is hanged with the picture of the sweet face of the little girl whose 57 cents made such a remarkable and real history. 21.How did the girl feel when she thought of other homeless kids?A.

What is the best title for the passage? A. Poor and Rich. B. A Red Purse. C. A New Sunday School. D. What Fifty-seven Cents Can Do?BWomen make better drivers than men for many reasons. Why is that? If you ask me, Id like to say, men know that women are better drivers but do not have the courage to admit the truthwomen are queens of the road.Unlike men, women stop for directions when they have no idea as to where they are going. We dont drive around for hours pointlessly wasting a tank of gas only to find ourselves heading in the wrong direction. Have you ever been in a car with a man who is lost? He tells you to shut up when you begin to open your mouth. And every five minutes or so he takes a turn going forty-five miles per hour only to find out hes made another wrong turn.Speeding is what men do best on the road. There is a reason why men get more speeding tickets than women. Not because we trick to get out of tickets but only because we dont get pulled over as frequently. We dont speed. We have more intelligence than senselessly to put our own lives as well as the lives of others in danger.My largest issue with male drivers is how a majority of them drive with one hand on the wheel and the other hand doing only God knows what. The seat is backed as far as possible, and theyre totally lost into loud music beyond a necessary level. You dont ever see women driving like that.I feel that the above evidence more than proves my points that women are not only better drivers but also safer drivers than men. We women rule the road. Oh, and men, if you want to continue criticizing (批评) women for being bad drivers, bring it on.24. If a woman driver feels lost, she will _.A.stop the car and ask people for helpB. take the wrong turns at a high speedC. tell the man next to her to shut upD. drive aimlessly for hours without stopping25. According to Paragraph 4, men drivers _ worries the writer most.A.making jokes about women B. not paying full attention C. not stopping for directionsD. getting more speeding tickets26. Which of the following shows the structure of the passage? A B C D (=paragraph 1；=paragraph 2；=paragraph 3；=paragraph 4；=paragraph 5)CIf you could have one superpower, what would it be?Dreaming about whether you would want to read minds, see through walls, or have superhuman strength may sound silly, but it actually gets to the heart ofwhat really matters in your life.Every day in our work, we are inspired by the people we meet doing extraordinary things to improve the world.They have a different kind of superpower that all of us possess: the power to make a difference in the lives of others.Were not saying that everyone needs to contribute their lives to the poor. Your lives are busy enough doing homework, playing sports, making friends, seeking after your dreams. But we do think that you can live a more powerful life when you devote some of your time and energy to something much larger than yourself. Find an issue you are interested in and learn more. Volunteer or, if you can, contribute a little money to a cause. Whatever you do, dont be a bystander. Get involved. You may have the opportunity to make your biggest difference when youre older. But why not start now?Our own experience working together on health, development, and energy the last twenty years has been one of the most rewarding parts of our lives. It has changed who we are and continues to fuel our optimism about how much the lives of the poorest people will improve in the years ahead.27. What does the underlined part in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. Your life style. B. Your life value. C. Your trouble in life. D.Your life experience.28. Why does the author say they are inspired every day?A. They possess different kinds of superpowers.B. They have got the power to change the world.C. Some people around them are making the world better.D. There are many powerful people in their life and work.29. What does the author stress in Paragraph 5?A. Trying your best to help the poor. B. Rising above self and acting to help others.C.Working hard to get a bigger opportunity. D. Learning more and contributing more to a cause.30. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A. Much more progress will be made in the near future.B. The work on health is the most valuable experience.C. The author believes the lives of the poorest will get better.D. Peoples efforts have been materially rewarded.D There are two types of people in the world. Although they have equal degree of health and wealth and other comforts of life, one becomes happy and the other becomes unhappy. This arises from the different ways in which they consider things, persons, events and the resulting effects upon their minds.People who are to be happy fix their attention on the convenience of things: the pleasant parts of conversation, the well prepared dishes, the goodness of the wine and the fine weather. They enjoy all the cheerful things. Those who are to be unhappy think and speak only of the opposite things. Therefore, they are continually dissatisfied. By their remarks, they sour the pleasure of society, offend (hurt) many people, and make themselves disagreeable everywhere. If this turn of mind was founded in nature, such unhappy persons would be the more to be pitied. The intention of criticizing(批评) and being disliked is perhaps taken up by imitation(模仿). It grows into a habit, unknown to its possessors. The habit may be strong, but it may be cured when those who have it realize its bad effects on their interests and tastes. I hope this little warning may be of service to them, and help them change this habit. Although in fact it is chiefly an act of the imagination, it has serious results in life since it brings on deep sorrow and bad luck. Those people offend many others; nobody loves them, and no one treats them with more than the most common politeness and respect. This frequently puts them in bad temper and draws them into arguments. If they aim at getting some advantages in social position or fortune, nobody wishes them success. Nor will anyone start a step or speak a word to favor their hopes. If they bring on themselves public objections, no one will defend or excuse them, and many will join to criticize their wrongdoings. These should change this bad habit and be pleased with what is pleasing, without worrying needlessly about themselves and others. If they do not, it will be good for others to avoid any contact(接触) with them. Otherwise, it can be disagreeable and sometimes very inconvenient, especially when one becomes mixed up in their quarrels. 31. People who are unhappy _.A. always consider things differently from othersB. usually are affected by the results of certain things C.always discover the unpleasant side of certain thingsD. usually misunderstand what others think or say32. The phrase “sour the pleasure of society” most nearly means “_”.A. have a good taste with social lifeB.enjoy the pleasure of life C. tend to please others openly D.make others unhappy33. We can conclude from the passage that _.A. we should pity all such unhappy people B. such unhappy people are dangerous to social lifeC. people can get rid of the habit of unhappiness D. unhappy people can not understand happy persons34. If such unhappy persons insist on keeping the habit, the author suggests that people should _.A. persuade them to recognize the bad effects B. show no respect and politeness to themC. prevent any communication with them D. quarrel with them until they realize the mistakes35. In this passage, the writer mainly _. A. describes two types of peopleB. laughs at the unhappy peopleC. tells people how to be happy in life D. suggests the unhappy people get rid of the habits of unhappiness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。School doesnt have to be a prison.

Some are always 41 you, but don t understand you. Some say only a few words to you, but understand you. Many people will step in your life, but only 42 friends leave footprints(脚印). I shall always recall (回忆) the autumn and the girl with the 43 . She will always bring back the friendship between us. I know she will always be my best friend. It was the golden season. I could see the yellow leaves 44 with the cool wind. In such a season, I liked walking alone in the leaves, 45 to the sound of them. Autumn is a 46 season but life is uninteresting to me. The boring days always get me 47 . But one day, the sound of a violin 48 into my ears like a stream (小溪) flowing in the mountains. I was so surprised that I jumped to see 49 it was. A young girl, standing in the wind, was 50 in playing her violin. I had 51 seen her before. The music was so nice that I listened quietly. Lost in the music, I didnt know that I had been 52 there for so long but my existence did not seem to disturb her. Leaves were still falling. Every day 53 she played the violin in the corner of the building，I went downstairs to watch her performance. I was the only listener. The autumn seemed no longer lonely and life became 54 . 55 we didnt know each other, I thought we were already good friends. I believe she also loved me. Autumn was nearly over. One day, when I was listening carefully, the sound suddenly 56 . To my astonishment, the girl came over to me. “You must like violin.” she said. “Yes. And you play very well. Why did you stop?” I asked. Suddenly, a 57 expression appeared on her face and I could feel something unusual. “I came here to see my grandmother, but now I must leave. I once played very badly. It was your listening every day that 58 me.” she said. “In fact, it was your playing 59 gave me a meaningful autumn,” I answered, “Lets be friends.” The girl smiled, and so did I. I never heard her play again in my life. I no longer went downstairs to listen like before. Only thick leaves were left behind. But I will always remember the fine figure of the girl. She is like a 60 so short, so bright, like a shooting star giv
