2.You know how it is when we get together. They talk about impossible dreams. “If I won the lottery (彩票), I would …”, “If I had plenty of money, I would …” But I never told anyone about my dream. I was afraid they would laugh if they knew. My aunt died and left everything to me. So I went around the world in search of the perfect woman that I really loved.I first went to America, but I didn’t find I was looking for. The women I met were either too thin or too fat, too quiet or too noisy. So I started off for Spain. Most of the women I met were much too self-confident. Then I went to China. The women there were lovely, but much too shy, and I like taller women. Finally, I found myself back in my own country. I was sad.Well, you can never guess what happened. In my own country, I found the woman I was looking for! Funnily enough, she lived near me, and I was surprised that I had not noticed her before. We met in the local shop. She dropped her bag. I picked it up and give it to her. I knew at that moment that she was the woman for me. But I wanted to be very careful. I didn’t want to say or do anything that might frighten her away. So I just made small talk as we walked back to the car park.Back home, I planned to win her heart. After a few more meetings, I finally invited her to have dinner with me. She accepted. Everything went well during dinner and seemed to enjoy the food. Finally, I told her about my search.“That’s amazing (令人惊奇的)！” she said. “I’ve just come into a lot of money, too, and I have decided to go round the world in search of the perfect man. I think I’ve found him.” Question： What’s the writer’s dream? 选项： A:To win the lottery.; B:To have plenty of money.; C:To travel around the world.; D:To marry a perfect woman.; E:To meet many women.

He placed thing in his basket and went to the checkout.The young shop assistant told him the total price,$37.60. The boy was instantly disappointed and said he had only been given $20. He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This Was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, "I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things." One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile.

4.I will always remember my mother’s last few days in this world. On February 14th, 2008, my class went on a field trip to the beach. I had so much fun. When we returned to school, my teacher told me to go to the headmaster’s office. When I got into the office, I saw a police officer. Suddenly I realized something was wrong. The police officer told me what had happened and we went to pick my sister up. After that, we went to the hospital and waited. Time went slowly. Finally, we got to see our mother. It was terrible. On the next day, the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened. I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside, my sister ran up to me. She started crying, “She’s gone. Teresa, mommy’s gone. She’s dead.” I couldn’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye. Today when I look back, I still miss my mother very much, but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother, who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero is, they usually say someone famous, like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is, I tell them, my mother. My mother lives every day.

6.I had just finished my monthly Free Hugs session in Union Square, New York City, and was walking back to Harlem where I lived with my family. To save money, I was used to walking instead of taking the subway. Being a teller I don’t have much money. That was when I saw a woman sitting on the sidewalk. And a shopping basket was beside her. That might be all she had in the world. She was thin, wearing old clothes. I got out my Free Hugs sign and went over to her. I smiled gently and asked if she would like a hug. She looked at me with wonder and asked, “You would hug me?” I opened my arms and walked closer to her. “If you want a hug,” I said. “Certainly.” She reached out her arms for the hug and then told me she had not been touched for almost 20 years. I hugged her. I said sorry to her that I had no money to give her that day and she said that the hug I’d just given was more helpful than money. Next time you see someone who is homeless, smile at them, say “Hello”, and if it feels right to your heart, offer a hug or even the touch of your hand on their arms.

Passage 2

Last year, I worked in a middle school near my mother’s house, and I stayed with her for a month. During that time, I helped her do some housework and buy some food.

After the first week, I noticed that the food was eaten up very quickly. Then I began keeping an eye on my mum. To my surprise, I found that she would put some of the food into a paper bad and go out with it at about nine every morning. And finally, I decided to follow her. I saw her taking the food to the street children. She would also spend a lot of time talking and playing with them.

One day, I talked to a neighbor and found out that my mum was well-known in the area. The children were very friendly with her and even thought of her as their own mother. Then it hit me -- why wouldn’t she want to tell me about it? Was she worried that I would stop buying food if I found out?

When my mum got home, I gave her a big hug. I told her she didn’t need to keep it a secret from me. And she told me something about the children. Some of them lived with an old lady in a small house. Others slept on the street. For years, she was helping the poor street children by giving them food. After she told me everything, I was so moved by how selfless she was. She helped others in need. As her son, I was so proud of her.

I continued to buy food for my mum after that. But I always added one more bag for her other children.

6. After the first week, what did the author notice?

选项： A:

The food was put into a big box.

B:

His mum followed the children.

C:

The food was eaten up very quickly.

D:

His mum stopped buying food.

8.I found my books ______ I had left them. A: that B: which C: where D: when

9.[单选题]Passage 1 At ten years old，I borrowed a book from the library that had the word “mistress” in the title. Granted，the cover art featured a golden carriage resembling that of Cinderella’s. My mother did not notice this book amid my stack of 20 until I was at home reading it. The book was immediately taken away by my mother when she found it. Then she led me back to the library. I can still remember how embarrassed I was as my mother explained that I needed reading material that was different from that book. The librarian on duty was a middle-aged lady, tall and beautiful. Smiling kindly, she walked from behind the counter and signaled me to follow her. Her walk was so graceful that she could easily have qualified for a part in ballet. “Here you are，” she said. “It’s called I Capture the Castle，by Dodie Smith.” I looked at her and stood motionless for a few seconds. Obviously, it was not the kind of book I was looking for. “It’s very different,” she said, noticing my disappointment. I accepted her recommendation. I took the book home, curled up on our window seat, and started reading: “I write this sitting in the kitchen sink. I can’t say that I am really comfortable, but that is the only part of the kitchen where there is any daylight left. And I have found that sitting in a place where you have never sat before can be inspiring —I wrote my very best poem while sitting on the hen-house.” I was hooked. Absolutely hooked. I wanted to be a writer, too. I also loved to write in strange places. I never told the librarian how much that book meant to me. How it spurred my writing dreams to the point that I took journals when walking through the woods and paused to take notes. Two weeks ago, I drove to meet my mother for a Christmas lunch in my hometown. In an old-fashioned teashop, I caught sight of a familiar figure—it was the very librarian who had changed my life! Sixteen years had passed, but—for a moment— time stood still. There were a few more wrinkles (皱纹) around her eyes, and she seemed to be in a fragile condition while sitting quietly at a table. I rose to my feet and moved excitedly toward her，“You work at the library! You once showed me I Capture the Castle! I’m a writer now! That’s still my favorite book!” The woman paused and smiled kindly, with a blank expression on her face. But then she tipped her head. I at once realized that it was her age or mental condition that had kept her from understanding me. After a while, she rose slowly and a nurse accompanied her towards the door. As I watched her go, I wondered how many lives we change without realizing what we do is significant. For all that woman had really done was lend me a book. But it had captured my world.2. How does the author describe the librarian’s walk when they first met? A She walked with elegance. B She walked with pride. C She walked with calmness. D She walked with dignity. E F
