As they went along, they saw a pair of old shoes lying in the path. They supposed the shoes belonged to a poor man who was employed in a field close by, and who had nearly finished his days work. The student turned to the professor, saying, “Let us play a trick on the man: we will hide his shoes, and hide ourselves behind those bushes, and wait to see his confusion when he cannot find them”.“My young friend,” answered the professor, “we should never amuse ourselves at the expense of the poor. But you are rich, and may give yourself a much greater pleasure by tricking on the poor man. Put a coin into each shoe, and then we will hide ourselves and watch how the discovery affects him.”The student did so, and they both placed themselves behind the bushes close by. The poor man soon finished his work, and came across the field to the path where he had left his coat and shoes. After he slipped his foot into one of his shoes, he felt something hard. He bent down to feel what it was, and found the coin. Astonishment and wonder were seen on his face.He fixed his eyes on the coin, turned it round, and looked at it again and again. He then looked around him on all sides, but no person was to be seen. He now put the money into his pocket, and continued to put on the other shoe, but his surprise was doubled on finding the other coin. His feelings overcame him. He fell upon his knees, looked up to heaven and cried a sincere thanksgiving, in which he spoke of his wife, sick and helpless, and his children without bread. The timely help from some unknown hand would save them from dying.The student stood there, deeply affected, and his eyes were filled with tears.“Now,” said the professor,“ are you not much better pleased than if you had played your intended trick?”The youth replied,“ You have taught me a lesson which I will never forget.”21.The student wanted to play a trick on the poor man to_.A. find the truth B. show his wisdomC. amuse himself D. teach him a lesson22.After finding the two coins, the man felt_ .A. helpless B. interested C. peaceful D. thankful23.We can know from the passage that the professor is_.A. wise B. rich C. humorous D. serious24.What does the story intend to tell us?A.A small act of kindness brings great joy.

Black Americans, who sang and played the music of their homeland, created jazz.Jazz is a mixture of the music of Africa, the work songs the slaves sang, and religious（宗教）music. Improvisation is an important part of jazz. This means that the musicians make the music up as they go along, or create the music on the spot. This is why a jazz song might sound a little different each time it is played.Jazz bands formed in the late 1800s.They played in bars and clubs in many towns and cities of the South, especially New Orleans. New Orleans is an international seaport, and people from all over the world come to New Orleans to hear jazz.Jazz became more and more popular. By the 1920s,jazz was popular all over the United States. By the 1940s,you could hear jazz not only in clubs and bars, but in concert halls as well. Today, people from all over the world play jazz. Jazz musicians from the United States, Asia, Africa, South America, and Europe meet and share their music at festivals on every continent. In this way jazz continues to grow and change.29.What can be the best title of the passage?AAmerican Art Forms BThe Development of JazzCThe Music of Black Americans DThe Birthplace of Jazz30. Which of the following is TRUE?AJazz is now popular all over the world.BJazz is now a kind of religious music.CJazz is now played only in bars and clubs.DJazz is now played a little differently sometimes.31. From the text it can be inferred that_.ANew Orleans is the place where jazz was first producedBthe American people are all jazz loversCjazz is merely sung by the black when workingDjazz may become more popular as time goes onDHave you ever had trouble trying to choose a gift? Perhaps you need a birthday present for someone who is hard to please. How about clothing? You might be about choosing the wrong size, color, or style. Books or DVDs? You may not know enough about the persons likes, dislikes, and interests. And giving money may not seem right. Well, how about a gift card?A gift card is a card that is issued(发行) by a certain store. Its worth a certain amount of money. It looks like a credit card, but it actually works like cash. A gift card holder can spend the amount of money noted on the card in the store that issued it. These cards are big moneymakers. One reason is that when gift-card holders go to the store, they often see other things to buy, and they end up spending more money than the gift card is worth.Gift cards are becoming extremely popular in many countries around the world. Why? People love the convenience cards are easy to buy and easy to use, either in the store or online. The receiver can select his or her own gift, and the giver doesnt have to worry about finding just the right thing.Receiving a gift card, however, is not the same as receiving a gift. An actual gift is a better reminder of the person who gave it. It helps us appreciate the thought and effort that went into the choice. The message of a real gift is more likely to be “ I spent some time trying to find the right gift for you because I care about you.”Often a gift card doesnt pass on the same message as an actual gift. It may seem to say, “ I was in a hurry. I didnt have time to think about what you really like.” In todays busy world, gift cards are convenient. However, they can make us forget the real purpose of giving gifts, which is to build a closer bond between the gift-giver and the gift-receiver.32. How does the author introduce the main topic?A. By comparison.B. By asking questions.C. By explanation. D. By making a statement.33. What do we know about gift cards?A. They are the same as credit cards. B. They help stores earn more money.C. They bring more customers to stores. D. They are worth more money than they cost.34. What is the advantage of giving an actual gift?A. It is appreciated by the receivers. B. It reminds people of their interests.C. It shows the givers thought and effort. D. It passes on the same messages as a gift card.35.What is the last paragraph mainly about?A. The relationship between the gift-giver and the gift-receiver.B. The close bond between the gift cards and the actual gifts.C. The real purpose of giving gifts.D. The disadvantage of gift cards.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。The Meanings of DreamsSleep and dreams have interested people for centuries.
