His mom explained that sharing with those who were less fortunate was part of the holiday spirit and how a child who had less would be very happy to receive a gift.The day after Christmas Mike agreed to part with one of his giftsa flute (笛子)“How will they know it is for a child？”he asked. His mother told him that he could attach a note to the flute and she helped him write one that read，“Please make sure this gets to a kid who doesnt have toys.”On his tenth Christmas Mike looked over his three inexpensive gifts. His mother told him this year he didnt have to part with a gift. He told her he wanted to. She gave him a big hug with tears in her eyes.The gift giving tradition continued into adulthood. Mike had not missed a Christmas in over 30 years. One Christmas Mikes own 5yearold boy asked，“What was the best gift you got for Christmas when you were a kid？”He explained to his son that the best gift he ever received didnt come in a box，and you couldnt even hold it in your hand. Just imagine the happy looks on the faces of the children as they open the gifts you sent them.The following day when Mike was getting ready for the drive to the donation box，his son came running out with a new toy in his hands. “Dad，I want to part with the toy；can you help me write a note？”Material gifts can be precious but the greatest gifts that we can give to children cant be purchased at the mall. We should let children learn to share and help others in need.56From Paragraph 1 we can learn that_.AMike was a very selfish boyBMike was from a rich familyCMike didnt understand the spirit of ChristmasDdonating Christmas gifts was a tradition in Mikes country57Mike attached a note to the flute to_.Alet others know his good deedBmake sure it was given to a kidCteach the receiver how to use the fluteDhope the receiver would pay him back in the future58What can we infer from the passage?AMost children dont have a gift on Christmas DayBMike didnt stop donating gifts until he was in his thirtiesCThe best gift Mike ever received was the joy of helping othersDMikes son was too young to understand the meaning of sharingBSpecial Bridges Help Animals Cross the Road - Reported by Sheila Carrick Why did the chicken cross the road? To get to the other side. Most people know this joke. But recently, some people have been much more concerned with how the grizzly bear and mountain lion can cross the road. Millions of animals die each year on U. S. roads, the Federal Highway Administration reports. In fact, only about 80 ocelots, an endangered wild cat, exist in the U. S. today. The main reason? Roadkill. Ecopassages may help animals cross the road without being hit by cars. They are paths both over and under roads. These ecopassages can be extremely useful, so that wildlife can escape being killed, said Jodi Hilty of the Wildlife Conservation Society. But do animals actually use the ecopassages? The answer is yes. Paul Beier of Northern Arizona University found foot marks left by mountain lions on an ecopassage that went under a highway. This showed that the lion used the passage. Builders of some ecopassages try to make them look like a natural part of an area by planting trees on and around them. Animals seem to be catching on. Animals such as grizzly bears are using the bridges and underpasses. The next time you visit a park or drive through an area with a lot of wildlife, look around. You might see an animal overpass! 59. The writer uses the example of “ocelots” to show that _. A. wild animals have become more dangerous B. the driving conditions have improved greatly C. the measure for protecting wildlife fails to work D. an increasing number of animals are killed in road accidents60. From the news story, we know an ecopassage is _. A. an underground path for cars B. a fence built for the safety of the area C. a bridge for animals to get over a river D. a pass for animals to cross the road61. When the writer says that animals seem “to be catching on”, he means _. A. animals begin to realize the dangers on the road B. animals begin to learn to use ecopassages C. animals are crossing the road in groups D. animals are increasing in number62. The writer asks visitors and drivers to look around when traveling because _. A. wild animals may attack cars B. wild animals may jam the road C. they may see wild animals in the park D. they may see wild animals on ecopassagesCA rainforest is an area covered by tall trees with the total high rainfall spreading quite equally through the year and the temperature rarely dipping below 16. Rainforests have a great effect on the world environment because they can take in heat from the sun and adjust the climate. Without the forest cover, these areas would reflect more heat into the atmosphere，warming the rest of the world. Losing the rainforests may also influence wind and rainfall patterns, potentially causing certain natural disasters all over the world.In the past hundred years, humans have begun destroying rainforests in search of three major resources (资源): land for crops, wood for paper and other products, land for raising farm animals. This action affects the environment as a whole. For example，a lot of carbon dioxide(二氧化碳)in the air comes from burning the rainforests. People obviously have a need for the resources we gain from cutting trees but we will suffer much more than we will benefit.There are two main reasons for this. Firstly, when people cut down trees, generally they can only use the land for a year or two. Secondly, cutting large sections of rainforests may provide a good supply of wood right now, but in the long run it actually reduces the world s wood supply.Rainforests are often called the worlds drug store. More than 25% of the medicines we use today come from plants in rainforests. However, fewer than 1% of rainforest plants have been examined for their medical value. It is extremely likely that our best chance to cure diseases lies somewhere in the worlds shrinking rainforests.63Rainforests can help to adjust the climate because they_.A. reflect more heat into the atmosphereB. bring about high rainfall throughout the worldC. rarely cause the temperature to drop lower than 16D. reduce the effect of heat from the sun on the earth64What does the word “this” underlined in the third paragraph refer to?A. We will lose much more than we can gain.B. Humans have begun destroying rainforests.C. People have a strong desire for resources.D. Much carbon dioxide comes from burning rainforests.65It can be inferred from the text that_.A. we can get enough resources without rainforestsB. there is great medicine potential（潜力） in rainforestsC. we will grow fewer kinds of crops in the gained landD. the level of annual rainfall affects wind patternsDOnce there was a young woman who didnt like her job .Everyday when she came home from work，she told her husband how terrible her day had been，how tiring the work and how unreasonable her boss. “Leave that job，” her husband told her.“Oh，I will，” she said. “But not yet. I have too many friends there for me to leave.” And so she remained unhappy at work until the years became decades and her children had children. “Leave that job，” her grandchildren told her. “Oh，I will，”she said. “But not yet. There are only seven more years until I reach thirty years of service and can retire. So I cant just yet.”I know this woman. And her story reminds me of an old dog half asleep on a porch（走廊） of a store，moaning and groaning in the sun. “Why is your dog acting that way？” a customer asked the store owner. “Oh，” answered the man，“Hes lying on a nail.” “Well，why doesnt he move？”“Because its not hurting him bad enough.”Thats true for people，too. We convince ourselves the pain is not bad enough to leave the workplace we know. But were wrong. Prolonged work pain is continuing. Some work pain damages our selfesteem（自尊），kills our passion or destroys our dreams.Wilbur Wright once commented，“We could hardly wait to get up in the morning. I know that exhilarating（令人愉快的） feeling of being so passionate（热情的） about something I was working on that I couldnt wait to get back to work. And people who are winning at working know that kind of passion，too.”They get excited about work. They offer their unique gifts and talents eagerly. And when things dont change as they sometimes will，they refuse to let environment hijack（抢劫；掠夺） their selfesteem，passion or dreams.66The woman complained to her husband every day because _.Ashe didnt have enough money to support her familyBher boss criticized her for what she had doneCshe was not satisfied with her job at allDher work was difficult and her boss was cruel67From the second paragraph we can know that the woman _.Aliked making friends with others Bloved all of her children very muchCleft her tiring job at last Ddid exactly the same job all along68The author mentioned the old dog in order to tell us that _.Ait was deeply hurt by its owner Bthe woman is like the dog on the nailCit is tied firmly to a nail by its owner Dit should be injured badly enough69The underlined word “Prolonged” (in Paragraph 4) means _.AlastingBslightCseriousDhard70People who are getting along well with their work _.Ahave to get up early every day Bare not willing to go to workCneed more unique gifts and talents Dare likely to change with the situationForgivenessTo forgive is a virtue(美德), but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly good to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness,according toa recent research._71_ Try the following steps :Calm yourself. _72_. You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.Dont wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just dont see thingsthe same way. _73_. Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt, give power to the person who caused you pain. Instead of focusing on your wounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you._74_ If you understand your offender (冒犯者), you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear,
