B
A small ,white envelope stuck among the branches of our Christmas tree and it has been there for the past ten y ears .
It all began because my husband Justin hated Christmas—oh, not the true meaning of Christmas. Overspending was one thing, but compared to the difficult experience of choosing gifts—running around at the last minute to get a tie for Uncle Harry and a pair of gloves for Grandma…,spending money is nothing. I felt too tired to think of any special gifts.
Knowing Justin felt the same way, I decided one year not to buy the usual shirts, sweaters, ties and so on. I reached for something special just for Justin. The inspiration came in an unusual way.
Our son Kevin, who was 12 that year, was wrestling （摔跤）at the junior level at the school he attended; and shortly before Christmas, there was a match against a team sponsored (赞助) by an inner-city church. These youngsters, dressed in such worn-out shoes that shoe strings seemed to be
the only thing holding them together, while our boys were in their blue and gold uniforms and new wrestling shoes.
As the match began, I was shocked to see that the other team were wrestling without wearing helmets (头盔) to protect their ears. Well, our boys ended up defeating them. We took every weight class.
Justin, seated beside me, shook his head sadly, “I wish just one of them could have won,” he said. “They have a lot potential (潜力) , but losing like this could take the heart out of them.” Justin loved kids—all kids, and he knew them, having coached little league football and baseb all. That’s when the idea for his present came. That afternoon, I went to a local sporting goods store and bought different kinds of wrestling helmets and shoes. I sent them to inner-city church without leaving my name.
On Christmas Eve, I placed the envelope on the tree, the note inside telling Justin what I had done and that was his gift from me. His smile was the brightest thing about Christmas that year and since then the envelope has become the highlight of our Christmas.
( )61.Justin hated Christmas because _____.
A. he didn’t enjoy receiving gifts
B. he had a hard time choosing gifts
C. he spent too much money buying gif ts
D. he disliked putting gifts under the Christmas tree
( )62. We know from the passage that the team sponsored by inner-city church_____.
A. were well dressed
B. paid no attention to safety
C. feared Kevin’s team
D. couldn’t afford a helmet
( )63. How did Justin feel about the team’s failure ?
A. Upset
B. Angry
C. Hopeless
D. Shameful ( )64. Why did the writer send gifts to the inner-city church without leaving her name ?
A. To avoid being thanked
B. To play a joke on Justin
C. To give Justin a surprise
D. To protect her private information ( )65. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. The Church Gift
B. A Special Note
C. The White Envelope
D. A Christmas Card
Nowadays, a new method is used to decide who are the top students in school. The best
students are those 66 , but also follow the rules and the behavior standards(标准)for middle school students. Here are some of the new rules and standards.
Tell the truth. _67_ If you have, then don’t do it again! That’s not something an honest student should do. If you have played computer games for two hours in your room, don’t tell your parents you were doing homework.
Learn to be loving and caring. Good students are those 68---
Learn to work together with others. It would be more fun when more people work together. Did you quarrel with your teammates when your basketball team lost? Only working together can make your team stronger. 69 . Try to think of other, instead of only yourself.
Be open to new ideas. Have you ever though that people could live on the moon? Perhaps you’ll discover Earth Ⅱsomeday. Don’t look down on new ideas. Everyon e’s ideas are important. __70_, because new ideas make life better for everyone.
Use the Internet carefully. The Internet can be very useful for your studies. Some websites(网站)on the Internet aren’t for kids, so make sure to visit the web pages that are good for you. You can use the web for fun or homework. Can’t you find my good websites for children?
D
Rising temperatures
If the temperature rises by 5 degrees tomorrow, you will probably take off
just one coat. But such a change in the average world temperature would be a
serious problem. Many animals and plants would not be able to deal with these
changes, and would die.
The UNEP(联合国环境规划署) released the Report 2012 on November
21, 2012. It says that if we don’t take action now, the world temperature will
have risen by 3 to 5 degrees by the end of this century.
The report was written by 55 scientists from 20 countries. Scientists have set a goal for greenhouse gases sending out to limit the world temperature rise to only 2 degrees this century. But according to the report, people have already let out 14 percent more greenhouse gases than they should have done.
A large rise in temperatures could be terrible for us and for many other living things on Earth. Sea levels will rise because higher temperatures will cause melting ice flow into the sea. Large coastal (沿海的) cities in countries such as the Netherlands and Bangladesh could be flooded.
Some plants such as corn and sugarcane (甘蔗) will not grow well in higher temperatures. Some countries, such as Brazil and parts of Africa, will not have enough food. The change may cause less rain and even make some places very dry.
On November 26, people from around 200 nations and regions gathered again in Doha (多哈) for the annual UN climate talks. “Climate change is coming to all human beings and effecti ve actions need to be taken to deal with it,” president of the conference said at the opening ceremony.
71. What will you probably do if the temperature rises by 5 degrees tomorrow?
I will probably _________________ .
72. When was the Report 2012 released by the UNEP?
It was released _________________ .
73. The report was written by 20 scientists, wasn’t it?
, __________________ .
74. Why did people from around 200 nations and regions gather again in Doha?
They gathered there to _________________ .
75. What needs to be taken to deal with the climate change?
________________ need to be taken to deal with the climate change .

2014秋季九年级英语unit3课文及 翻译
2014秋季九年级英语unit3课文及翻译 Could You Please…? When you visit a foreign country, it is important to know how to ask for help politely. For example, “Where are the restrooms?” are similar requests for directions to a place. Both are correct English, but the first one sounds less polite. That is because it is very direct question. It is not enough to just ask a question correctly. We also need to learn how to be polite by being less direct – or more indirect—when we ask for help. In English, as in Chinese, we change the way we speak when we talk with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “When is the school trip?”, when the school trip is?”, this will sound much more polite. However, it is all right to ask direct questions in some situations, like with your classmates. Usually polite questions are longer and include more language such as “Could you please…?” or “Can I ask…?” It sounds more polite to say,“Peter, could you please tell me your e-mail address?” than “Peter, tell me your e-mail address.” Sometimes we even need to spend time leading in to a request. For example, with a stranger on the street, we might first say,“Excuse me, I wonder if you can help me” or “I’m sorry to trouble you, but ... before asking for helping. It might seem more difficult to speak politely than be direct. However, it is important to learn how to use proper language. This will also help you become better at English. or any other language you wish to speak. 当你在外国旅游时，知道如何礼貌地寻求帮助是很重要的。例如：“休息室在哪里？”或 者“请问能告诉我休息室在哪里吗？”是问一个地方在哪里的相似问法。两种说法语法都正确，但是第一种没有第二种听起来礼貌。那是因为第一种问法太直接。只是正确地提问还不够。当我们在寻求帮助的时候，我们还需要学会如何在寻求帮助时表现礼貌而且用不那么直接或者更间接的方法。 就像中文里，在英语中我们会和不同的人交谈改变不同的说话方式。你使用的短语可能取决于你说话的对象或者你了解他们的程度。如果你对老师说“哪天去校游？”，这可能听起来不太礼貌。但是如果你说“韦斯特先生，打扰一下，你知道哪天去校游吗？”，这样听起来会礼貌得多。但是，在某些情况下直接提问是没有关系的，比如和你的同学们在一起。

2014年英语专业四级真题及答案(阅读理解)
TEXT A After breakfast the boys wandered out into the play-ground. Here the day-boys were gradually assembling. They were sons of the local clergy, of the officers at the Depot, and of such manufacturers or men of business as the old town possessed. Presently a bell rang, and they all trooped into school. This consisted of a large, long room at opposite ends of which two under-masters conducted the second and third forms, and of a smaller one, leading out of it, used by Mr. Watson, who taught the first form. To attach the preparatory to the senior school these three classes were known officially, on speech days and in reports, as upper, middle, and lower second. Philip was put in the last. The master, a red-faced man with a pleasant voice, was called Rice; he had a jolly manner with boys, and the time passed quickly. Philip was surprised when it was a quarter to eleven and they were let out for ten minutes' rest. The whole school rushed noisily into the play-ground. The new boys were told to go into the middle, while the others stationed themselves along opposite walls. They began to play Pig in the Middle. The old boys ran from wall to wall while the new boys tried to catch them: when one was seized and the mystic words said - one, two, three, and a pig for me - he became a prisoner and, turning sides, helped to catch those who were still free. Philip saw a boy running past and tried to catch him, but his limp gave him no chance; and the runners, taking their opportunity, made straight for the ground he covered. Then one of them had the brilliant idea of imitating Philip's clumsy run. Other boys saw it and began to laugh; then they all copied the first; and they ran round Philip, limping grotesquely, screaming in their treble voices with shrill laughter. They lost their heads with the delight of their new amusement, and choked with helpless merriment. One of them tripped Philip up and he fell, heavily as he always fell, and cut his knee. They laughed all the louder when he got up. A boy pushed him from behind, and he would have fallen again if another had not caught him. The game was forgotten in the entertainment of Philip's deformity. One of them invented an odd, rolling limp that struck the rest as supremely ridiculous, and several of the boys lay down on the ground and rolled about in laughter: Philip
