The cashier said, “Im sorry, but you dont have enough money to buy this doll.” The little boy seemed very disappointedI walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to. “Its the doll that my sister wanted so much for Christmas. She was sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her. But Santa Claus cant bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad. “My sister has gone to be with GodDaddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.”My heart nearly stopped. The little boy looked up at me and continued, “I told Daddy to tell Mommy not to go yet. I need her to wait until I come back from the mall.”I quickly reached for my wallet and said, “Suppose we check again, just in case you do have enough money for the doll.”“OK, I hope I do have enough,” he said. I put some of my money with his without him seeing and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money.Surprisingly, the little boy cried, “Thank you God for giving me enough money!” Then he looked at me and added, “I asked last night before I went to sleep for God to make sure I had enough money to buy this doll, so that Mommy could give it to my sister. He heard me! I also wanted to have enough money to buy a white rose for my mommy, but I didnt dare to ask God for too much. But he gave me enough to buy the doll and a white rose !”Then I remembered two days before a local newspaper reported an accident in which a woman and a little girl were badly injured. The little girl died right away, and the mother was left in a critical state. Was this the family of the little boy?Two days after I met the little boy, I read in the newspaper that the woman had passed away. I couldnt stop myself from going to the funeral. Teary-eyed, I felt that my life had been changed forever21. The boy wanted to buy the doll because Ahe wanted to turn his sisters Christmas wish into realityBSanta Claus didnt give him any Christmas giftChe would give it to his mother as a birthday surpriseDhe had always been eager for such a doll22. We can learn from the story that Athe boys sister died after staying in hospital for two weeksBthe author gave the boy some extra money without his noticeCthe boys mother always wished to receive a white rose on ChristmasDthe boys family were all seriously injured in a car accident23. The story most probably conveys the message that Aa gift is a perfect way to express love for othersBa kind act can bring joy and hope to othersClosing a family member is a heavy blow to childrenDa religious belief can help one solve problems in his lifeBNow many young people are traveling around the world on their own, not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you out of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.Richardson describes traveling alone like “a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything”. He said, “The feeling of having overcome something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when Im dealing with a difficult task. I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”24. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?A. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.D. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.25. Traveling alone is challenging because _.A. it is hard for you to prove yourself to othersB. you can only depend on yourself whatever happensC. you have to make things on your ownD. it will finally build your character26. What can we infer about Chris Richardson? A. He started traveling alone at an early age. B. He was once shot in the arm.C. His website inspires others a lot. D. He used to work as a salesman.27. What is the best title for the passage? A. Travel Abroad B. Travel LightC. Travel Alone D. Travel Wide and FarC The iPhone, the iPod, the iPad: each of Apples products sounds cool and has become a fad(一时的时尚). Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power of the letter “i”and many other brands are following suit(仿效). The BBCs iPlayer, which allows Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet, adopted the title in 2008. A lovely bearpopular in the US and UKthat plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of Londons Independent newspaper was launched last week under the name “i”. In general, single-letter prefixes(前缀) have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as e-mail and e-commerce first came into use. Most “i” products are designed for young people and considering the major readers of Independents “i”, it is no surprising that theyve selected this fashionable name. But its hard to see whats so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c” instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at Kings College, London, “i” works because its meaning has become ambiguous. When Apple uses “i”, no one knows whether it means Internet, information, individual or interactive. Thorne told BBC Magazines. “Even when Apple created the iPod, it seems it didnt have one clear definition,” he says. “However, thanks to Apple, the term is now associated with portability(轻便),” adds Thorne. Clearly the letter “i” also agrees with the idea that the Western World is centered on the individual. Each person believes they have their own needs, and we love personalized products for this reason.28. We can infer that the Independents “i” is aimed at _. A. fashionable womenB. engineersC. old readersD. young readers29. The underlined word “ambiguous” means _. A. uncertainB. definiteC. popularD. fashionable30. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _. A. environmentally friendlyB. portableC. advancedD. recyclable 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。How to learn a language with music in 5 stepsMusic can be an effective tool for learning a foreign language.
