第II卷

第三部分：写作（共两节，满分25分）

第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

阅读下面的短文，根据其内容回答问题。

Two traveling angels stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and re fused to let the angels stay in the mansion’s guest room. Instead the angels were given a small space in the cold basement.

As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied,“Things aren’t always what they seem.”

The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor, but very hospitable farmer and his wife.

After sharing what little food they had the couple let the angels sleep in their bed w here they could have a good night’s rest.

When the sun came up the next morning the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their sole income, lay dead in the field.

The younger angel was infuriated and asked the older angel how could you have

let this happen? The first man had everything, yet you helped him, she accused. The second family had little but ___________________, and you let the cow die.

“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied.

“W hen we stayed in the basement of the mansion, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so obsessed with greed and unwilling to share his good fortune, I sealed the wall so he wouldn’t find it.”

“Then last night as we sl ept in the farmers bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I gave him the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”

Sometimes that is exactly what happens when things don’t turn out the way they should. If you have faith, you just need to trust that every out come is always to your advantage. You just might not know it until some time later.

46. What’s the best title of the passage?

The couple shared their little food with the two angels and then spared their bed for the two angels to rest for a good night willingly.

51. 书面表达

Some believe that we should give money to beggars because some of them are old people, who can’t live on their own. Among them are also some students who have dropped out of school because their families are so poor. And we can also see some disabled people. So we should give money to those who need our help badly.

On the other hand, however, many more students think we shouldn’t give them money because most of the beggars beg not because they are poor but because they want to make money more easily. They are not real beggars. Besides, to give money would encourage them to be lazy even if they have the ability to work.

In general, we should help the people of the inferior group but when we give money we should be careful.
