And each of us, if we live long enough, experiences the loss of persons we loved. Children ages eight through ten were asked what they thought about death,and these are some of their answers:“When you d ie,God takes care of you like your mother did. When you were alive,only God doesn’t yell at you all the time.’’“When you die,they bury you in the ground and your soul goes to heaven,but your body can’t go to heaven because it’s too crowded there already.”“Only the good people go to heaven. The other people go where it’s hot all the time like in Florida. ”“Doctors help you so you won’t die until you pay their bills.”I’ve observed that the loss of a loved one can be one of the most difficult things we humans can face. I’ve known friends of sick and dying people to sit by a bedside or in a hospital room for hours,even days, at a time. I’ve seen food in homes of people who are dying overflow from kitchen to dining room—food brought by comforting friends from church and con cerned neighbours. And I’ve observed friends just listen for as long as it takes.When U.S. Congressman Sam Rayburn discovered that he was ill,he announced to the House of Representatives he was going home to Texas for medical tests. Some wondered why he did not stay in Washington where there were excellent medical facilities. His answer was a beautiful tribute to friendship:”Bonham is a place where people know it when you’re sick,and where they care when you die. ”No one wants to go through difficult times alone.

Everyone needs to face the loss of a friend.（3）What was Sam Rayburn most concerned about when ill?A . The closeness of loving friends.B . The medical examination.C . The excellent medical facilities.D . The development of his home.（4）What’s the best title of the passage?A . Friendship Cannot Stand Always on One Side.B . A Friend Is Easier Lost Than Found.C . True Friendship Lasts Forever.D . Good Friends Are Good Medicine.3. 阅读理解You can’t always predict a heavy rain or remember your umbrella. But designer Mikhail Belyaev doesn’t think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. That’s why he created Lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain-sensing umbrella.The designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in Russia. “Once, I was driving on a central Saint Petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain.I thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy built into a street lamp,” he said.The Lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. It has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand Sensors then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.In addition to the rain sensor, there’s also a 360°motion sensor on the fiberglass street lamp which detects whether anyone is using the Lampbrella. After three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.According to the designer, the Lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. Besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lightning strike. Each Lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. Being installed at 2 metres off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.While there are no plans to take the Lampbrella into production, Belyaev says he recently introduced his creation to one Moscow Department, and insists his creation could be installed on any street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.（1）What do we know from Belyacv’s words in Paragraph 2?A . His creation was inspired by an experience.B . It rains a lot in the city of Saint Petersburg.C . Street lamps are protected by canopies.D . He enjoyed taking walks in the rain.（2）Which of the following show how the lampbrella works?A . motor→canopy→sensorsB . sensors→motor→canopyC . motor→sensors→canopyD . canopy→motor→sensors（3）What does Paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?A . Its moving speed.B . Its appearance.C . Its installation.D . Its safety.（4）What can be inferred from the last paragraph?A . The designer will open a company to promote his product.B . The lampbrella could be put into immediate production.C . The designer is confident that his creation is practical.D . The lampbrella would be put on show in Moscow.4. 阅读理解Generations of children grew up reading comic books secretly, hiding out from parents and teachers who saw them as a waste of time and a risk to young minds. Comics are now gaining a new respectability at school. That is thanks to an increasingly popular and creative programme, often aimed at struggling readers, that encourages children to plot, write and draw comic books, in many cases using themes from their own lives.The Comic Book Project was started in 2001 by Michael Bitz at an elementary school in Queens. Since its creation, the programme, which is mainly conducted after school, has spread to more than 850 schools across the country. It has gotten a big push from the craze among adolescents for comic book clubs and for Manga, a widly popular variety of comic originating in Japan.The point is not to drop a comic book on a child’s desk and say “read this”. Rather, the workshops give groups of students the opportunity to collaborate on often complex stories and charac-ters that they then revise,publish and share with others in their communities.Teachers are finding it easier to teach writing, grammar and punctuation with material that students are fully invested in. And it turns out that comic books have other built-in advantages. The pairing of visual and written plotlines that they rely on appear to be especially helpful to struggling readers. No one is suggesting that comic books should substitute for traditional books or for standard reading and composition lessons. Teachers who would once have dismissed comics out of hand are learning to exploit a style that clearly has a powerful hold on young minds. They are using what works.（1）Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A . Japanese Comic Books.B . Comic Books in the Classroom.C . Reading Efficiently.D . A Current Craze.（2）The main purpose of the Comic Book Project is to .A . develop the cooperation among adolescentsB . make sure that students live a rich and colourful life after schoolC . help students who have some difficulty in readingD . popularize a new method of teaching （3）It can be inferred that .A . comic books were first used in JapaneseschoolsB . parents have different opinions about their children reading comic booksC . more and more teachers will realize the advan-tages of comic booksD . comic books will be allowed to enter all the schools in the country二、任务型阅读5. 任务型阅读Africa is a very diverse land with many different tribes. One tradition that many of these groups share is painting or marking their bodies and faces in color. They do this for many reasons. Some marks are used to identify people as part of a group.________Let’s look at som e different examples of body painting.________Among the Masai of East Africa, when men are old enough to marry and make decisions for their people, they participate in a special ceremony in which they paint their heads and faces red. This ceremony takes place every seven to fourteen years, so there is not an exact age for participating in it. The Samburu, also from East Africa, like to paint their faces and hair red because they think it looks attractive.________To show that he has killed a lion, a man will paint his body with a natural white material, making special marks to represent this accomplishment. The Masai men also use this white to show that they are no longer boys and are considered adults.One quite unusual example of face painting is done by the Wodaabe people of West Africa. Once a year, they have a beauty contest for men.________Then they add white and black circles and lines. Black paint is used near the eyes and on the lips to draw attention to the whiteness of their eyes and teeth, which the Wodaabe consider most beautiful.________As you travel, enjoy the beautiful and bright colors of Africa.A.Red is the common color in body painting because it often represents health and long life.B.Other marks are used for ceremonies such as weddings and during times of war.C.The ceremony expresses hope for rain.D.The Masai men also have a unique way of showing that they are brave.E.The women then decide which man they like best.F.The men pretend to fight each other.G.The men paint their faces yellow and red.三、完形填空6. 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从各题所给的四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

We all pass in different life problems and challenges. No one is free of life problems. Only a dead man faces no problem. As long as you are alive, challenges are everywhere.How do you face problems and challenges in your life? Problems and challenges are the building blocks of your personality. They make you who you are. Besides, whether what happened in your life builds or destructs you depends on how you look at it. If you take your problems as troubles, they will be troubles and may cause destruction. If you take them as constructive tools, you are going to be built up on them.Problems are everywhere. No one can avoid them. And they are good too. They open up a different look and opportunity if you are willing to see. When you face troubles, do not frustrate or freak out. Just cool yourself to think in a different direction. Think in a positive way. Every problem has its own good as well as bad sides. Focus on the good one. Look at the bright side.Besides, there is always a good person, perhaps your mom or dad, or one of your friends, right beside you who can turn everything into your best if you are willing to turn to them. No matter what happens, they will be there to help you. Trust them and they will never let you down. All you need to know is that you are loved wherever you are.25.

Challenges Are EverywhereC. Face Your Challenges BravelyD. You Are Loved Wherever You AreCIt was simply laziness that led me to fall in love with a blackbird. I’d not got round to harvesting all my grapes, and as I watched them rot, I felt a pain at how terrible a gardener I’d become. Fruit left on the vine too long may harbour diseases. I’d look out at plenty of bunches slowly turning into one dark, weak mass and say, "Tomorrow. I’ll do it tomorrow."Then I saw a blackbird settle on my outdoor table and fly to pluck (摘)a grape and return to the table to eat it. This task was repeated day after day.I don’t know why this took me by surprise. Blackbirds like all the fruits once they’re soft enough to eat. Still, I felt delighted and relieved.There are lists upon lists of plants that are good for birds, whether because they attract insects, or because they are rich in berries(浆果) or nuts. There is a theory that fruits that are similar in colour to our native types are more desirable to birds, so white fruit will not be as favoured as red or orange. However, anyone who has grown dogwood(梾木) will know that once those yellow leaves drop to expose deep red stems decorated with white berries, the birds begin to eat them. They are able to learn new tricks.If you don’t have spac e for bigger-berried trees, make attractive bird feeders in large pots that are no longer needed for summer bedding or vegetables. To give small birds some protection, tie together strong stems to form loose cages. Into these bring seed heads, using the stems to hold them in place. Sunflower heads, for example, can be put in. Position the pots close to the house, and you can watch them quietly from indoors.30.How did the author feel when he watched the grapes rot on the vine?A. Horrible.B. Guilty.C. Helpless.D. Surprised.31.What can be inferred about dogwood according to the text?A. It is a non-native plant.B. It bears hard nuts.C. The color of its fruit is red.D. Its fruit is delicious to eat.32.Why does the author suggest making loose cages with stems?A. To watch birds more easily.B. To protect some small birds.C. To stop stems growing wildly.D. To prevent stems taking up too much room.DAs far as children’s museums go, new and exciting exhib its are always on the list to keep kids entertained and intrigued. But how to keep the kids interacting while still dealing with real life issues and enabling them to step into the footsteps of those with an entirely different view from their own? Enter th e Israeli Children’s Museum in Holon. The museum offers a thoughtful display of rotating(旋转的) exhibits and is home to three permanent exhibits. The exhibits —Invitation to Silence, Dialogue with Time, and Dialogue in the Dark —are unlike most any other experiences you’ll find in any typical children’s museum.Invitation to Silence is an exhibit that enables participants to understand what it is like to live in the world of those who are hearing-impaired. The guides are deaf or hearing-impaired themselves and take participants on a 75-minute active journey, walking them through an experience of alternative communication, where non-spoken languages —"hearing with one’s eyes", sign languages and body languages are the only options.Dialogue with Time is a one-of-a-kind exhibit guided by those 70 years old and older. It helps visitors to have the concept of old age and aging, through an intergenerational dialogue of experiences and games so that they can learn what it is truly like to age in our society as a whole.Dialogue in the Dark is guided by the blind and those who are vision-impaired. The 75-minute tour is in complete darkness, tracking interpersonal and group dialogue settings that reassess the stereotypes(刻板印象) associated with being blind.All three exhibits offer children and adults valuable social lessons and a peek into worlds that are otherwise hard to explain. These exhibits can give participants new views, gratitude, and empathy for the disabled while also championing their efforts in the challenges of everyday life, by giving power and admiration to each group.33.The purpose of the text is mainly to _____.A. present unique exhibits on display for childrenB. talk about creative ways to make museums livelyC. attract visitors to a museum for students in HolonD. introduce a museum for visitors to experience disability34. How can visitors communicate with the guide in Invitation to Silence?A. By making a phone call.B. By using body languages.C. By talking in a low voice.D. By writing on a piece of paper.35. Dialogue in the Dark helps visitors learn about problems with _____.A. being deafB. being blindC. being dumbD. being too old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。

It is the largest image hotel.BGrowing up, I always hid my thumbs in my fists because of th eir unusual shape. Admittedly, they do look more like big toes instead of thumbs and from an early age, my thumbs earned a nickname “toe thumbs”.Then, while I was in high school, I worked as a cashier in a st ore. One day, while I was checking out a sweet old lady, she suddenly grabbed (抓住) my hands and said in a thick Polish accent, “You are Polish! Look at those beautiful Polish thumbs! They match mine!”She raised her hands and showed me her thumbs that looked exactly like mine! She grabbed and held my hands again and said, “Be proud of those thumbs and the history of your herita ge (传承) that comes with them!”I'll never forget that 30-second conversation with a stranger that forever changed my view of a part of me I once was embarrassed by and now em brace. Tonight, as I sat with my Samuel, he looked down at m y hand and said, “ Mommy! Our thumbs match!” I smiled and answered, “Yes, they do. Those are strong Polish thumbs! Be proud of them!”I no longer hide my thumbs in my fists. I'm happy that my chil d will carry on a piece of our heritage. I hope my son will neve r hide his thumbs like I did. I hope he will be proud of their “un usualness” and the history behind them. He carries on a uniq ue part of me (and all the generations before me) and that for me will always be beautiful!4. Which of the following might the author experience because of her thumbs?A. Great hardships in life.B. Being admired by her friends.C. Unexpected kindness from others.D.

Say no to embarrassmentCIf you are standing in front of an iceberg (冰山), it might look like the largest thing you’ve seen. However, you’re still only seeing the small part above the water. About 9 0 percent of the iceberg is below the water. The same idea rel ates to culture, Amy Melendez explained.Amy teaches English and trains English educators in Washing ton. She works at a number of schools, including Northern Virginia Community College and Georgetown University. She sai d that many students and teachers mistakenly think culture is just the things that are easy to see, like food, music, clothing and holidays. But she said that most culture is represented in what cannot be seen: people's expectations, beliefs and value s.So she brings lessons about this into the classroom. She teac hes learners how to understand and value cultural differences and communicate more effectively with people from other cult ures.Like Amy, Michelle Stabler is an English educator who has ta ught intercultural communication. Currently, she is a professor of Columbia University in New York City.Both Amy and Michelle explained that the subject of cultural u nderstanding is a natural part of language teaching. They not ed that language and culture are inseparable: words and expr essions have cultural origins.They also said that cultural tolerance helps learners feel safe i n the classroom. Michelle explained, "In other words, they don 't have to worry that people are going to criticize (批评) who they are or the things that they value most and believ e in. This gives students the freedom to focus their energy on learning the language without the concern that these things that are so important to them are going to be questioned。
