Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seat by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her window. It really looks terrible.”
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing her dirty window, but all the time I was watching her through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings
Since then whenever I wanted to judge someone, I asked myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window ” Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world more clearly.

How far would you go to make a good impression in a new job A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get where he would work on time.
Walter Carr’s car broke down the night before he started his new job in Bellhops, a furniture moving company. Unable to find a ride, Carr figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the customer’s house in Pelham. And then he left at midnight so that he could reach there by 8 a.m. the next morning.
Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4 a.m., so they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8 a.m.

While working, Carr told Lamey that he and his mother moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina, a devastating hurricane that hit the US in 2005. He worked part-time to cover living costs and pay college fees. Greatly touched by Carr, Lamey started a GoFundMe page to help Carr raise money to get his car fixed.
Walter Carr’s story touched many others around the US. Within a few days, people gave over $ 73,000 to his GoFundMe page. Besides, Carr received more job offers and won a scholarship.

【分析】本文是一篇夹叙夹议的文章。作者老是感觉对方家的窗户脏，看不清对方。然而，有一天擦了自己家的窗户，看清了对方后，发现原来是自己家的窗户没有擦。由此引发作者的人生感悟：不要总是责备别人，要多从自身找原因，擦亮自己心灵的窗户。
【4题详解】

How far would you go to make a good impression in a new job A college student in Alabama walked 32 kilometers in the dark to get where he would work on time.
Walter Carr’s car broke down the night before he started his new job in Bellhops, a furniture moving company. Unable to find a ride, Carr figured out how long it would take to walk from his house to the customer’s house in Pelham. And then he left at midnight so that he could reach there by 8 a.m. the next morning.
Pelham police saw him walking along a highway at 4 a.m., so they stopped to see if he needed help. After hearing his story, they took him to a restaurant for breakfast and then to a church where he could safely wait until 8 a.m.
The police then took Carr to the home of the customer Jenny Lamey. Lamey suggested that Carr rest for a while because he had just walked for a long time, but Carr insisted on starting working at once.
While working, Carr told Lamey that he and his mother moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina, a devastating hurricane that hit the US in 2005. He worked part-time to cover living costs and pay college fees. Greatly touched by Carr, Lamey started a GoFundMe page to help Carr raise money to get his car fixed.
Walter Carr’s story touched many others around the US. Within a few days, people gave over $ 73,000 to his GoFundMe page. Besides, Carr received more job offers and won a scholarship. Grateful for others’ help, Carr has decided to give a part of the donations to the Birmingham Education Foundation, and he is determined to give back more.
12. Why did Carr have to walk to Pelham to work
A. He couldn’t afford a ride after a hurricane destroyed his car.
B. The police took away his car after he was caught speeding.
C. He had no choice after he had a car crash in the dark.
D. He failed to find a ride after his car broke down.
13. What did Carr do first after he was brought to his destination
A. He started to work immediately.
B. He had breakfast and took a rest.
C. He told the customer his family background.
D. He chatted with the customer about a church nearby.
14. What does the underlined word “devastating” in Paragraph 5 probably mean
A. Quite hard to predict. B. Possibly preventable.
C. Causing a lot of damage. D. Increasingly widespread.
15. Why did Jenny Lamey start a GoFundMe page
A. To help Carr buy a new car. B. To make Larr’s story popular.
C To raise money to repair Carr’s car. D. To express her admiration for Carr.

【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段“Walter Car’s car broke down the night before he started his new job in Bellhops(沃尔特·卡尔的车在他开始在Bellhops工作的前一晚抛锚了)”和“Unable to find a ride(找不到车搭)”可知，他的车坏了，而且没有车搭，所以他走路去上班。故选D项。
【13题详解】

【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据第五段中“While working, Carr told Lamey that he and his mother moved from New Orleans, Louisiana to Birmingham, Alabama after losing their home in Hurricane Katrina, a devastating hurricane that hit the US in 2005.(在工作时卡尔告诉拉米，他和母亲在2005年袭击美国的devastating飓风卡特里娜中失去了家园，之后他们从路易斯安那州的新奥尔良搬到了阿拉巴马州的伯明翰)”可知，划线词devastating在句中作定语修饰飓风(hurricane)卡特里娜，而上文说在飓风卡特里娜摧毁了卡尔的家，由此推知，飓风卡特里娜造成了巨大的破坏，所以，划线词devastating理 解为“破坏性极大的”。故选C项。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据第五段“Greatly touched by Carr, Lamey started a GoFundMe page to help Carr raise money to get his car fixed.(拉米被卡尔深深感动了，于是他创建了一个GoFundMe网页，帮助卡尔筹集修车的资金)”可知，拉米创建GoFundMe网页的目的是为了筹钱帮卡尔修车。故选C项。

【分析】这是一篇议论文。本文主要论述了“要勇于心怀梦想，并努力实现梦想”这一主题。
【详解】1.根据空前的“Some of you already know that it’s hard. It’s hard to change your life.”（有人已经知道了实现梦想、改变生活的困难）据此可以判断，设空处具体介绍实现梦想的困难。选项G.“you are going to suffer a lot of disappointment, failure and pain”（你将承受失望、失败和痛苦）符合题意，故选G项。
2.根据前文“For those of you who have experienced some hardships, don’t give up your dreams.”（对于那些经历过艰辛的人，不要放弃你的梦想）和空后的“but they will not stay, they will come to pass ”（但它们不会停留，它们会逝去）可推知，空白处内容与下文构成转折关系，陈述困难总是会出现的。选项B.“The tough times are going to come”（艰难的时刻即将来临）符合题意，下文的they指代选项中的tough times。故选B项。
3.根据空前的“You dream and then follow it up with a list of all the reasons why the dream is unachievable.”（你有一个梦想，但却有一大堆它不能实现的理由）可知，我们总是给自己找梦想不能实现的理由，包括“我不能”。选项C. “You fill your life with excuses and “I can’t””（你的生活充斥着各种借口和“我不能”）符合题意，故选C项。
4.根据空处后一句“Acting on the dream is harder.”（努力实现梦想更难）可知，空处与该句形成对比。据此可知，空处表示“（设定）梦想是容易的”。选项E.“Dreaming is the easy part”（（设定）梦想是简单的部分）与文意相符，故选E项。
5.根据空处前一句“Do not be afraid to dream.”（不要畏惧梦想）据此可以判断，空处应进一步对此进行陈述，即表示要相信自己，你能实现梦想。选项F.“If you can dream it, you can do it”（如果你能（设定）梦想，你就能做到）符合题意，故选F项。

【答案】Dear Jim,
Having learned that you'll be a senior high school student, I am delighted. In your last email you mentioned that you were confused about how to study well in your senior high school. Now, I'd like to share my study tips with you.
First, you'd better communicate with your teachers regularly. In this way, they may offer some great advice on both your study and life. Second, why not involve yourself in each class actively, listen to the teacher attentively and take notes carefully so that you can review later Third, it's a good idea to do your homework on time soon after school, which will help you practice what you have learned and make it fresh in your mind.
I sincerely hope my advice can be helpful to you and that you can enjoy your new school life. Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua
