Never Forgotten
I will never forget the year I was about twelve years old. My mother told us that we would
not be receiving Christmas gifts because there was not 36 money. I felt sad and thought,
“What would I say when the other kids asked what I’d 37 ?” Just when I started to
38 that there would not be a Christmas that year, three women came to our house with gifts
for all of us. For me they brought a doll. At that moment I knew I wasn’t 39 . Somebody
had thought of me and brought me a gift.
Years later, when I stood in the kitchen of my new house, 40 how I wanted to
make my Christmas there meaningful, I 41 remembered the women’s visit. I decided to
create that same feeling of 42 for as many children as I could possibly reach.
So I made a plan and gathered forty people from my company to help. We gathered about
125 orphans (孤儿 ) at the Christmas party. For every child, we wrapped colorful packages
43 with toys, and school supplies, each with a child’s 44 . We wanted all of them to
know they were 45 . Before I called out their names and handed them their gifts, I told
them that they couldn’t open their presents until every child had come 46 . Finally the
47 came as I called out, “One, two, three. Open your presents!” As the children opened their
packages, their bright smiles 48 up the room. The 49 in the room was obvious, and
it wasn’t just about toys. It was a feeling — the feeling I 50 from that Christmas so
long ago when the women came to visit. I wasn’t forgotten. Somebody thought of me. I matter.

四、阅读理解（共 15 小题，30 分）
第一节：阅读下面短文，从各题 A、B、C、D 四个选项中选出最佳答案。
A
I took the bus to work for many years. No one knew each other; the passengers all sat
there sleepily in the morning. The bus was cheerless and silent. One of the passengers was a
small gray-haired man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens. No one ever paid very
much attention to him.
One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded
guardedly. The rest of us were silent. The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and
said in a loud voice: “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and
murmured “Good Morning” in reply. The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old
suit and tie. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to
each other.
One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around
smiling and asked: “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his
name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled
and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat. Every morning
after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The
bus became a happy place.
Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop.
When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick
or on holiday somewhere.
When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers asked the
driver to wait. We all held our breaths when he went to the door. The old gentle man was fine,
but one of his close friends had died over the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way
to work.
The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, bending a bit more, a little bit more
gray, and without a tie. Inside the bus was silent. Even though no one had talked about it, all of
us sat there silently, our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.
51. What are we sure about the old man?
A. His name was Charlie.
B. He got sick over the weekend.
C. He worked at the center for senior citizens.
D. He was in great sorrow when we saw him the next Monday.
52. Which of the following is not true?
A. The atmosphere on the bus was cheerful and lively at first.
B. People were surprised at the old man’s first greeting.
C. People were worried about the old man’s absence.
D. People on the bus at last shared happiness and sorrow together.
53. Which would be the best title for the passage？
A. How to Shorten the Distance between People
B. The Key to Friendship — Communication
C. Smiles Make a Bus Feel Like Home
D. Charlie, A Smiling Gentle Man
B
Care for Your Dog
Like human beings, dogs may catch cold because of cold weather, wet conditions or can
also get it from other sick dogs. If a dog has a running nose and watery eyes, coughs or sneezes,
then it is quite probable that the dog has caught cold.
A dog’s cold can get over after a few days without treatment, but it totally depends upon
the owner to treat it with medications or improve its immune power（免疫力）to get rid of the
cold naturally. Following are some of the things you can do if your dog gets a cold.
You can improve its immune power by giving it proper nutrient diet. Healthy food can
really do wonders. Try to give it food which is either suggested by the vet or is healthy for your
pet. Increase the food which is rich in vitamins A, C and E.
Keep your dog warm. The best place for your dog in winter is inside your house. Do not
keep your dog outside when it is cold and wet. At home you can also keep the dog warm with
the help of carpets. This will make him comfortable and help him to recover fast.
Increase the liquid diet as it helps a lot. Water can be the best choice but you can also add
broth(肉汤)in water which will give your dog strength. Warm water will make your dog more
comfortable and will also keep the dog away from the respiratory infections（呼吸道感染）.
Steam treatment is considered to be effective in getting rid of cold. It makes the nose wet,
which helps proper breathing. Just fill your bathroom with steam and leave your dog inside the
bathroom for 15 minutes. Do it nearly 2 to 3 times a day and you will see your dog recovering.
These are some of the things you can do to help your dog recover from cold. However, if
you are not able to find any improvement in its health, then turn to the vet for help
immediately.
54. When your dog catches cold, you should feed it on _________.
A. its favorite food B. food rich in vitamin B
C. some meat and water D. the suggested food by the vet
55. When a dog catches cold, it is wrong to _________.
A. keep it inside during cold and wet weather
B. leave it inside the bathroom full of steam
C. let it eat too much solid food
D. keep it sleeping on rugs at home
56. It can be learnt from the text that _________.
A. a dog’s cold can always disappear naturally
B. it’s quite easy to make a sick dog recover from cold
C. treating a dog’s cold sometimes needs a vet’s help
D. cold in dogs won’t spread between each other.
C
Dreams
It’s a fact that we all dream. Some dreams seem to last for hours, others only for seconds.
Some of us have strange dreams, some have interesting dreams, and some of us have
unpleasant dreams.
Tests in the 1980s showed that these dreams occur within 90-minute cycles, each cycle
made up of six stages. In the last stage people experience rapid eye movement, known as REM,
and it is in this stage that dreaming takes place. Eighty percent of people who were woken
during this sixth stage could easily remember their dreams. On the other hand, when during the
first five stages (NREM), only seven percent could describe a dream.
However, of these same people woken during the first five stages, 74% were able to
remember thinking activity, although they would not call it a dream.
NerysDee, who has written about dreams in a book called Your Dreams and What They
Mean says: “Perhaps during NREM sleep we are sorting out our outer common problems, but
in REM sleep we are dealing with inside matters.” She also makes the following statement
about 90-minute cycle: It may also prove the reason why insomniacs who wake in the middle
of the night find it impossible to get to sleep again for at least an hour and a half, in other words,
until they have missed out one complete 90-minute sleep period.
57. According to the tests in the 1980s, dreaming takes place _________.
A. between each 90-minute cycle
B. in the last stage of 90-minute cycles
C. at any time during 90-minute cycles
D. during the first five stages of 90-minute cycles
58. People woken during REM sleep can _________.
A. easily remember their dreams B. hardly remember their dreams
C. only remember their dreams D. partly remember their thinking activity
59. “Insomniacs” are persons who _________.
A. can always remember their dreams
B. have trouble getting into sleep at night
C. experience rapid eye movement
D. usually wake after each 90-minute sleep period
D
Letter of “i”
The iPhone, the iPad: each of Apple’s products sounds cool and
has become a fashion. Apple has cleverly taken advantage of the power
of the letter “i”, and many other brands are following suit. The BBC’s iPlayer, which allows
Web users to watch TV programs on the Internet, used the title in 2008. A lovely bear—popular
in the US and UK—that plays music and video is called “iTeddy”. A slimmed-down version of
London’s Independent newspaper was started last week under the name “i”.
In general, single-letter prefixes have been popular since the 1990s, when terms such as
e-mail and e-book first came into use.
Most “i” products are aimed at young people, and considering the major readers of
Independent’s “i”, it’s no surprise that they’ve selected this fashionable name.
But it’s hard to see what’s so special about the letter “i”. Why not use “a”, “b”, or “c”
instead? According to Tony Thorne, head of the Language Center at King’s 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 didn’t have one clear definition,” he says.
“However, thanks to Apple, the term is now connected with portability.” 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.
Along with “Google” and “blog”, readers of BBC Magazines voted “i” as one of the top
20 words that have come to define the last decade.
But as history shows, people grow tired of fashions. From the 1900s to 1990s, products
with “2000” in their names became fashionable as the year was connected with all things
advanced and modern. However, as we entered the new century, the fashion disappeared.
60. The underlined word “ambiguous” means “_________”.
A. popular B. uncertain C. clear D. unique
61. Nowadays, the “i” term often reminds people of the products which are _________.
A. portable B. interactive C. advanced D. recyclable
62. The writer suggests that _________.
A. iTeddy is a live bear w W w .
B. “i” products are often of high quality
C. the letter “e” replaces letter “i” to name the products
D. the popularity of “i” products may not last long

号后的横线上写下相关信息，完成对该问题的回答。答语要意思清楚，结构正确，书写
工整。
Oh, Those Schools
Most schools are named after famous people. Other schools are named after the streets on
which they are located. Some school names are most unusual. How they were chosen is
anyone’s guess.
There are schools with names that would make a person think twice before opening the
door. The school named Lookout at least warns pupils in advance. You would need the most
courage of all to enter the school in Oregon named Tenkiller!
Not all unusual school names are strange in a fearful way. Many of the names are pleasant.
Who would not feel at home in the school named Welcome? What could go wrong in the school
called Allgood? The Bright School, located in Montana, seems to promise that much learning
will take place.
Other schools have names neither pleasant nor fearful. Their names are simply funny.
There are schools with names such as Telephone, and Ducktown. For names to make us smile,
what can match Bushyhead in the state of Georgia?
Do you think you can find the Nonesuch School? If you look carefully at the word, you
will see that its name says there is no such school, but there is. The Nonesuch School is found
in Kentucky.
63. Why does a person think twice before opening the doors of some schools?
(不多于五个单词)
64. If you want to visit The Nonesuch School, where will you go? (不多于 2 个单词)
65. What does the passage talk about? (不多于 4 个单词)

Dear Sir or Madam,
My name is Li Hua from Class 1 Grade 2. I am writing to recommend myself as one of the
Goodwill Ambassadors.
I’m very suitable for the job. Above all, I am polite and outgoing, and I’m easy to get
along with. Besides, I do well in my lessons, especially in spoken English. I got the first place
in the English Speech Contest in our city last year, so I have no difficulty communicating with
foreigners in English.
I think this is a good chance for me to put my talent into good use. I would like to learn
more about western countries and have a better understanding of foreign culture. By
accompanying visiting guests from foreign countries, I can exchange ideas with them and
spread Chinese culture.
I will really appreciate it if you would give me such an opportunity to show my talent.
Looking forward to your reply.
Yours faithfully,
Li Hua
