old, i experienced my very first random act of kindness. i was sitting at the roadside one evening, crying alone for some reason when suddenly, a boy came up to me and gave me a plastic rose, i remember the moment when i took the rose from his hand; i was smiling from ear to ear, whispering “i want to be like him” to myself as i watched him walking away.from then on, i made it as my life mission to do random acts of kindness whenever i can. i was very determined to make other people smile. that was the only reason why i joined my schools red crescent society and became a volunteer. unfortunately, not everyone thinks in the same way as i did. whenever i do something nice to others, people around me will start to judge my actions. often i will just keep quiet and ignore what they say, but every once in a while, they do drive me up the wall.these people like to complain about how humans nowadays are lacking of humanities and compassion. however, when they actually see somebody doing a good deed in front of them, they start to question and criticize that persons honesty. perhaps it is the increasing crime rate and the never-ending rat race that caused them to be so suspicious to nice strangers. in other words, people nowadays have lost sight of the real meaning of kindness and just let it go unnoticed. that is why i think random acts of kindness are really important. these selfless acts are not only capable of bringing joy to the receivers but also to the givers. because of this, i want to help spread the idea of these random acts to the whole world. i want to show the people how the little things they give could make a big difference in someone elses life.21what was the influence of the boys rose on the author?ait made the author feel ashamed.bthe author decided to follow suit.cthe author said a lot to the boy.dit gave the author strength and hope.22why did the author join the schools red crescent society?ato be a volunteer.bto live a happy life.cto make others smile.dto have a good time.23which can replace the underlined phrase in paragraph 2?amake me very angry.bbring difficulty to me.cforce me to climb the wall.dforce me to the dead corner.bif youre showering every day, youre probably over doing it. in fact, showering too often can actually hurt your body in the long run.as times public health column explains, daily showers are common due to social norms more than any proper health need. we connect being freshly showered with being attractive and pleasing, so we tend to showering often to feel better.but whats the ideal shower frequency? in terms of your health not how you look or smell probably once or twice a week, assistant professor of dermatology at george washington university, dr. cbrandon mitchell says. “your body is naturally a well-oiled machine,” he says. “a daily shower isnt necessary.”of course, your situation may vary. if you have a job like car maintenance or construction, youll obviously have a visible layer of dirt youll need to wash off every single day. similarly, if you work out every day, you may not have any health risks by washing every day, but youll still be smelly. if you feel like you need to take daily showers for aesthetic(审美的) reasons, at least make most of them light showers. “i tell patients who shower daily not to soap their whole bodies,” mitchell says. hit your pits, butt and groin, which are the areas that produce strong smells. the rest of your body doesnt need much soaping, he says.too much time spent under the hot water can dry out your skin, cause cracks（裂纹）that can lead to infections or germs getting into your skin, and take away the natural oils on your skin that help keep it healthy. so, even if youre aiming to be your most presentable, be sure to keep it moderate to avoid hurting your skin in the long run.24according to the passage, why do most people shower daily?ato add to attraction. bto wash off dirt. cto meet health need. dto get relaxation.25which of the following people might be advised to shower once or twice a week?acar maintainer. boffice staff. cbuilding workers. dgym-goers.26the underlined phrase “light showers” in para. 4 refers to the showers in which _.abright lights are equipped bless hot water is usedcgentle skin touches are allowed da little soaping is involved27what is the best title for the

was so much fun, so good and so kind to everyone that they treated him wonderfully. but as everything he needed was given to him without asking, jonny became aweed. he was so spoiled by everyone that he couldnt stand any hardship.one day johnny heard a mother saying to her son “come on, my boy, get up and stop crying. you are behaving like johnny jones.” that made johnny feel very ashamed. but he was sure that he would prefer to be known as a good boy rather than a fool. worried, he spoke to his father about all this, though he was afraid that maybe he would be laughed at for having such worries. his father, far from laughing at johnny, told him that a teacher had taught him a secret trick to turn him into the toughest boy off all. “eat a candy less, study a minute more, and count to five before crying.” johnny asked, “just that? ” “yes, just that,” said his father, “its very simple, but i warn you that it wont be easy.”johnny was happy like a bird, ready to follow the advice. he went to see his mother, and she noticed how happy he was when she offered him candies. “one candy less”, thought johnny, so he only took one. that afternoon he had another chance to put it into practice by studying one minute more. the result was that he missed the first minute of his favorite program! but having achieved this gave him a great feeling of satisfaction. the same happened when he ran up against the corner of the kitchen table. he only managed to count to four before crying, but that was left deeply in his mothers memory.over the following days johnny kept using the motto in his life as his father told him. and the more he put this into practice ,the easier it got. before long he realized that he could also do things that would seem impossible before.28the underlined word

experience once which taught me something about the ways people made a bad situation worse by blaming themselves. one january, i officiated (主持) at two funerals for two elderly women.36. at the first home, the son of the deceased (已故) woman said, “if only i had sent my mother to florida and gotten her out of this cold and snow, she would be alive today. its my fault that she died.” at the second home, the son said, “if only i had not insisted her going to florida, she would be alive today.37. it is my fault.”when things dont turn out as we would like them to, we tend to assume that had we done things differently, the story would have had a happier ending. any time there is a death, the survivors will feel guilty. because the course of action they took turned out bad, they believe that the opposite course, for example, keeping mother at home, would have turned out better.38there seem to be two elements involved in our readiness to feel guilty. the first lies in our belief that the world makes sensethere is a reason for everything that happens.the second is the thought that we are the cause of what happens, especially the bad things that happen.39. a baby comes to think that the world exists to meet his needs, and that he makes everything happen in it. he wakes up in the morning and calls the rest of the world to its tasks.40. when he is hungry, people feed him, and when he is wet, people change him. very often, we do not completely abandon that childish thought that our wishes cause things to happen.athat long airplane ride was more than she could take.bafter all, how could it have turned out any worse?clife and dead is an unsolved mystery.dthe roots of this feeling may lie in our childhood.e. he cries, and someone comes to attend to him.f. both died a natural death.g. they believe that they are responsible for what has happened.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 （共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。i left early to avoid the traffic,
