A
Tommy got up very early on the Christmas morning.He looked in every room and wished a Merry Christmas to his family.Then he ran into the street to repeat that to those he might meet.When he returned to his home，his mother gave him two bright，new silver dollars.
His face lighted up as he got them.He had wished for 3 weeks to buy some pretty books that he had seen at the bookstore.He left his home with a light heart，and expected to buy the books.He was running down the street when he saw a poor family.
“I wish you a Merry Christmas.” said Tommy，as he was passing on.The man shook his head.“You are not from this country，” said Tommy.The man again shook his head，for he could not understand or speak his language.He pointed to his mouth and to the children shaking with cold，as if to say，“These little ones have had nothing to eat for a few days.” Tommy understood at once that these poor people were very hungry.He took out his dollars and gave one to the man，and the other to his wife.
They were excited and said something in their language，which doubtless meant，“thank you so much that we will remember you all the time.”
When Tommy came home，his mother asked what books he bought.He hung his head a moment，but he quickly looked up.“I have bought no books，” said he，“instead I gave my money to some poor people，who seemed to be very hungry then.” He went on，“I think I can wait for my books till next Christmas Day.”
“Oh，my dear boy，” said his mother，“here are some books for you，more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a Christmas gift.”
“I saw you give the money cheerfully to the poor German family.It was nice of you，a little boy，to do so.Be always ready to help others and every Christmas of your life will become to you a Merry Christmas.”

B
Dust storms don't just happen in the middle of the desert.They happen in any dry area where loose dirt can easily be picked up.The sand blown into the air by the wind usually falls back down to the ground after a few hours.Smaller bits of particles (微粒) stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.Dust from the Sahara is always blown across the Atlantic and keeps travelling as far as Caribbean.
The scary thing about sandstorm is that they can spread over hundreds of miles and rise over 10，000 feet (3050 meters)．They also have wind speeds of at least 25 miles per hour (40km)．Not strong enough to blow the feathers off a chicken but still something worth avoiding.
Don't be surprised if you suddenly see a dust storm heading your way.Dust storms usually arrive without warning and move in the form of a big wall of dust.The dust makes driving impossible.Often they only last for a few minutes but storms usually leave serious car accidents behind.If you are in a car during a dust storm，remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights.
In mild (轻微的) dust storms，it's still impossible to walk around although you wouldn't want to.You can't see anything because of the dust particles flying around.It's not just the dust you want to avoid.The wind carrying the dust will leave things as if they were just hit by a tornado.The best thing to do is find a safe place in a building.
5．What can we know from Paragraph 1
A．Sand blown into the air can float for months.
B．Dust storms don't happen in the heart of the desert.
C．Dust blown into the air can travel a very long distance.
D．Smaller bits of particles stay in the air for only a few hours
6．What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about
A．The speed of the wind.
B．The harm of dust storms.
C．The movement of dust.
D．The power of dust storms.
7．What should a driver do when he is caught in a dust storm
A．Stop by the roadside.
B．Slow down a little bit.
C．Turn on the headlights.
D．Drive along the side of the road.
8．Which of the following statement is TRUE when the dust storm is not strong
A．You should find a safe shelter.
B．You can walk around as usual.
C．There is no need to avoid dust.
D．People can see everything clearly.
四、读后续写
阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Carl lost his job.He tried to find another one but it wasn't easy.As a result，the poor fellow couldn't pay his bills and he couldn't even find anybody to lend him any.
Carl spent most of his days at home.Sometimes he looked out of the window and watched his neighbor's house.An old professor lived there alone.Strangely，he hardly talked to his neighbors.Carl could see into the professor's house because he never drew the curtain.The rooms were full of antique (古董) furniture and vases.Carl thought，“If I got an antique vase，I could sell it for a lot of money.”
Every day Carl saw the professor.He left at 10 o'clock in the morning and came back home at 4 o'clock in the afternoon.He had a dog.Carl often went to the fence and played with it or gave it a piece of meat.
One day Carl thought，“I will go into the professor's house and steal a vase.I will break the window and climb in.The dog is not a problem.”
There was an old gun in the cellar(地下室)．It had been his great grandfather's favorite thing a long time before.Carl didn't want to use the gun but he thought，“Anything could happen.”
He wanted to hide the gun under his coat but it was too long so he had to cut the end off with a saw(锯)．
The next morning he watched the professor leaving home at 10 o'clock.Carl climbed over the fence.The dog ran to him and Carl gave it a big bone.He threw a piece of stone through the window，which broke.It wasn't high.He could climb into the house easily.
He looked around inside.There were paintings on the walls，small figures and vases on the shelves and the floor.Carl didn't know much about arts.He couldn't choose.He reached his hands towards a big vase when he heard a noise.The front door opened and someone entered the house.
注意：1．续写词数应为150左右；
2．请按如下格式作答。
It was the professor.He had forgotten to take an important document(文件) with him._________________________________________________________________

三、阅读理解
1.C　细节理解题。根据第二段中“He left his home with a light heart，and expected to buy the books.”可知，汤米希望从他母亲那里得到钱后能买一些漂亮的书。故选C项。
2.A　细节理解题。根据第三段中“The man again shook his head，for he could not understand or speak his language.”可知，汤米跟这个可怜的人说话时他摇头是因为他不明白这个男孩的意思。故选A项。
3.B　推理判断题。根据最后一段中“Be always ready to help others and every Christmas of your life will become to you a Merry Christmas.”可知，作者试图鼓励我们随时准备帮助别人。故选B项。
4.A　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段中“‘Oh，my dear boy，’ said his mother，‘here are some books for you，more as a prize for your goodness of heart than as a Christmas gift.’”可知，汤米因为他的善良得到了奖励。故选A项。
5.C　推理判断题。根据第一段的“Smaller bits of particles (微粒) stay in the air for a week or longer and can be blown thousands of miles away.”可知，较小的粒子能在空中待一个星期或更长时间，然后可以被吹到数千英里之外。故可推知C项正确。
6.D　主旨大意题。根据第二段的主要内容可知，沙尘暴的可怕之处在于，它可以蔓延数百英里，上升到1万英尺(3050米)以上。故可知本段主要讲述的是沙尘暴的威力，此题易误选A项，但A项说的是“风的速度”，而不是“沙尘暴的速度”，故选择D。
7.A　细节理解题。根据第三段的“If you are in a car during a dust storm，remind the driver to pull over and turn off the headlights.”可知如果你在车上时遇到沙尘暴，提醒司机靠边停车并关掉前灯。故A项正确。
8.A　细节理解题。根据最后一段“In mild (轻微的) dust storms，...The best thing to do is find a safe place in a building.”可知沙尘暴没那么强时，最好的办法是在建筑物里找一个安全的地方。故选择A项。
四、读后续写
It was the professor.He had forgotten to take an important document with him.Carl became so afraid that he pulled out the gun without thinking.The professor came into the room and saw him.“What are you doing in my house？”he asked surprisingly and angrily.“I haven't stolen anything.Just let me go or I will shoot.”cried Carl，pointing the gun at the professor with his trembling hands.
The professor was scared.Suddenly，he burst into laughter.“With that gun？”asked the professor.Strangely，he didn't seem frightened of Carl any more.He continued.“You can't shoot with that antique gun.You should have put it in the museum actually.”“Is this really an antique gun？”Asked Carl.“How much is it worth？”“It was worth about 17，000 dollars，”said the professor.“But now you can get only 100 dollars for it.”“Why？”Asked Carl.The professor replied，“because its end is missing.”
