As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock. Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, its not much fun falling over in front of everyone.” At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that hed come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.” By now paramedics(救援人员)had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to the womans husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.” At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mothers Day to you.” The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.4. What doesthe author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B.

Is there any life out there? These are the questions asked in this show可知，想要了解太空生命，你可以去the Search for Life这个活动，故选D。2根据文章中Secret of the Dragon部分中Cost:Adult: $7.40Child (under 15): half可知，成人的价格是$7.40，15岁以下的孩子半价，所以一个成人和两个孩子的票价是7.40+3.70+3.70共计14.80，故选C。3根据这四条活动介绍，可知他们的共同点是都可以通过电话预定，故选A。Passage B去年母亲节那天，我们在购物的时候，前面有一位老人摔倒了并流了很多血。儿子给她买了花，老人很感激儿子善意的举动，也很开心有人能够关心她。作者想通过这个事情告诉我们：有时候一个小小的善意的行为会给自己和他人带来很多的快乐，要与人为善。 1、 儿子给老人送了花，尽管老人受伤严重，但是仍然向儿子露出了微笑。由此可见一个小小的善举都可能带来快乐。A 人怎么小心也不为过；B 事实胜于雄辩；C 爱始于一个小小的微笑；均与文意不符。故选D。 2、 选项A与原文首段an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete不符；选项C与原文第三段“Just take it,” she replied. “I cant take your money for such a wonderful gesture.” 不符；选项D中“moved to tears”与原文末段“gave him a little smile”不符；根据原文第三段I was amazed that hed come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller 可知儿子的行动得到了母亲的支持，故选B。 3、 A 惊讶；B 被困住的；C 害怕；D 兴奋；根据后文的scared一词可知儿子是被血和医疗设备给吓到了，故选C。 4、 A 鲜花的力量；B 母亲节；C 意外伤害；D 尴尬的时刻；儿子送花的行动让受伤老人露出了微笑，可见最贴切的题目应是鲜花的力量，故选A。Passage C本文是说明文文章主要介绍了深海探险的相关知识1D 细节理解题根据第一段中的 But the first deep-sea divers （潜水员） wanted to find sunken treasure可知，人们最初探测深海是想寻找沉入海底的金银财宝故选D2.
