课时分层作业(三)
Ⅰ.阅读理解
A
One morning,Ann's neighbor Tracy found a lost dog wandering around the local elementary school.She asked Ann if she could keep an eye on the dog.Ann said that she could watch it only for the day.
Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers (传单),and put them in mailboxes.Meanwhile,Ann went to the dollar store and bought some pet supplies,warning her two sons not to fall in love with the dog.At the time,Ann's son Thomas was 10 years old,and Jack,who was recovering from a heart operation,was 21 years old.
Four days later Ann was still looking after the dog,whom they had started to call Riley.When she arrived home from work,the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her.As soon as she opened the door,Riley dashed into the boys' room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack.Riley ran over to Jack,but as soon as Ann bent over to help him the dog went silent.
“If it hadn't come to get me,the doctor said Jack would have died,” Ann reported to a local newspaper.At this point,no one had called to claim the dog,so Ann decided to keep it.
The next morning Tracy got a call.A man named Peter recognized his lost dog and called the number on the flier.Tracy started crying,and told him,“That dog saved my friend's son.”
Peter drove to Ann's house to pick up his dog,and saw Thomas and Jack crying in the window.After a few moments Peter said,“Maybe Odie was supposed to find you,maybe you should keep it.”
【语篇解读】 一天,Tracy在当地学校附近捡到一只流浪狗,把它交代给邻居Ann照顾,自己去找狗的主人。Ann答应只照顾这只狗一天。结果在没找到狗主人之前Ann和她的两个儿子一直照顾这只狗而且很快喜欢上了它。Ann的大儿子有心脏病,多亏了这只狗帮Ann及时救了她儿子,所以当狗主人来认领狗时全家人都舍不得它走。最终,狗留在了Ann家里,成为家庭一员。
1.What did Tracy do after finding the dog
A.She looked for its owner.
B.She gave it to Ann as a gift.
C.She sold it to the dollar store.
D.She bought some food for it.
A [细节理解题。根据第二段第一句“Tracy took photos of the dog and printed off 400 FOUND fliers(传单),and put them in mailboxes.”可知,Tracy在找狗的主人,故选A。]
2.How did the dog help save Jack
A.By breaking the door for Ann.
B.By leading Ann to Jack's room.
C.By dragging Jack out of the room.
D.By attending Jack when Ann was out.
B [细节理解题。根据第三段句子“When she arrived home from work,the dog threw itself against the screen door and barked madly at her.As soon as she opened the door,Riley dashed into the boys' room where Ann found Jack suffering from a heart attack.”可知狗Riley是通过向Ann狂叫并领Ann进入Jack的房间让Ann发现Jack犯了心脏病从而及时救了Jack的。故选B。]
3.What was Ann's attitude to the dog according to Paragraph 4
A.Sympathetic. B.Doubtful.
C.Tolerant. D.Grateful.
D [推理判断题。根据第四段Ann跟报社说的话“‘If it hadn't come to get me,the doctor said Jack would have died,’Ann reported to a local newspaper.At this point,no one had called to claim the dog ”可知,如果不是狗领着Ann找到Jack,Jack可能就死了。也就是狗救了Jack的命,所以可以推断Ann对狗很感激,感激它救了她儿子的命。故选D。]
4.What can we infer about the dog from the last paragraph
A.It would be given to Odie.
B.It would be kept by Ann's family.
C.It would be returned to Peter.
D.It would be taken away by Tracy.
B [推理判断题。根据最后一段“After a few moments Peter said,‘Maybe Odie was supposed to find you,maybe you should keep it.’”可知,过了一会儿,彼得说:“也许Odie应该去找你,也许你应该养着它。”由此判断出,狗最终是留在了Ann的家里。故选B。]
B
When almost everyone has a mobile phone, why are more than half of Australian homes still paying for a landline (座机)
These days you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in Australia over the age of 15 who doesn't own a mobile phone.In fact plenty of younger kids have one in their pocket.Practically everyone can make and receive calls anywhere, anytime.
Still, 55 percent of Australians have a landline phone at home and only just over a quarter (29%) rely only on their smartphones, according to a survey (调查).Of those Australians who still have a landline, a third concede that it's not really necessary and they're keeping it as a security blanket—19 percent say they never use it while a further 13 percent keep it in case of emergencies.I think my home falls into that category.
More than half of Australian homes are still choosing to stick with their home phone.Age is naturally a factor (因素)—only 58 percent of Generation Ys still use landlines now and then, compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.Age isn't the only factor; I'd say it's also to do with the make up of your household.
Generation Xers with young families, like my wife and I, can still find it convenient to have a home phone rather than providing a mobile phone for every family member.That said, to be honest the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents, to the point where we play a game and guess who is calling before we pick up the phone (using Caller ID would take the fun out of it).
How attached are you to your landline How long until they go the way of gas street lamps and morning milk deliveries
【语篇解读】 本文主要介绍了现在几乎每个人都用手机,但还有超过一半的澳大利亚的家庭在使用座机。文章主要阐述了产生这一现象的原因。
5.What does paragraph 2 mainly tell us about mobile phones
A.Their target users.
B.Their wide popularity.
C.Their major functions.
D.Their complex design.
B [推理判断题。根据文章第二段的内容可知,该段主要是说,在澳大利亚现在很难找到15岁以上还没有手机的人,而事实上很多小孩子的口袋里都有一部手机。由此可推知,在澳大利亚使用手机的人越来越多,手机在广泛地流行起来。故选B。]
6.What does the underlined word “concede” in paragraph 3 mean
A.Admit. B.Argue.
C.Remember. D.Remark.
A [词义猜测题。根据画线词所在句的下文可知,调查显示,在仍然使用座机的澳大利亚人中,有三分之一的人认为座机并不是真的有必要,他们只是把座机看作是一种安全保障。故画线词所在句是说,有三分之一的人承认座机不是必须要有的东西。由此可推断concede意为“承认”,故选A。]
7.What can we say about Baby Boomers
A.They like smartphone games.
B.They enjoy guessing callers' identity.
C.They keep using landline phones.
D.They are attached to their family.
C [细节理解题。根据文章第四段中的“...compared to 84 percent of Baby Boomers who've perhaps had the same home number for 50 years.”和第五段中的“...the only people who ever ring our home phone are our Baby Boomers parents...”可知,相比之下,在生育高峰期出生的人中,有84%的人可能已经拥有同样的座机号码50年了。显然,他们一直在使用座机。故选C。]
8.What can be inferred about the landline from the last paragraph
A.It remains a family necessity.
B.It will fall out of use some day.
C.It may increase daily expenses.
D.It is as important as the gas light.
B [推理判断题。根据文章最后一段的内容可知,作者用煤气路灯和早晨送牛奶的例子,暗示座机将来有一天可能像它们一样在我们的日常生活中消失。故选B。]
Ⅱ.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。
It was Saturday and I was lying in bed daydreaming about what I wanted to do today when Dad just called me to get up at seven o'clock.I wanted to stay at home and play my favourite games.I wanted to listen to some music and then play football with my friends.I wanted to hang out with my friends and watch a movie.I wanted to enjoy a big meal in the restaurant and chat with my friends till midnight.
At 7:30,Dad was again shouting at me to get up.So,I got up,put some casual clothes on and lay in the sofa in the sitting room for a little bit.
My dad walked in,urging me to put on some nice clothes that were suitable for me to walk around in on such a hot day.I asked,“Why should I do that?I won't go out.I'm just staying at home.I have a lot of businesses to deal with.”Looking me directly in the eyes,Dad told me something about the place called Give Kids the World.It was designed for the families to spend a vacation with their children who had a very serious illness.About four years ago,my dad became a volunteer,doing several jobs there,including serving food and giving gifts.I thought that would be very boring,but Dad insisted that I should go with him,promising that I would like it.
Though I was unwilling,I still got dressed and went into the car.Dad drove me to a village not very far from our community.When we arrived at the storehouse in the middle of the village,there were already some people sorting out the food and gifts.We immediately joined them,putting the food into boxes and the gifts on the back of a cart.
注意:1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式作答。
Then,Dad told me that we were going to deliver a toy to every child from door to door in the village.
Once back in that cart,Dad told me that they all had a life threatening illness and that they might not live to see tomorrow.
【参考范文】
Then,Dad told me that we were going to deliver a toy to every child from door to door in the village.We came to the first house and a woman answered the door.Sitting in the middle of the living room was a little boy in a wheelchair.I gave him the gift,and his face lit up with joy.In another house,I met a girl who was deaf and only partially sighted.Seeing the gift,she got excited and made a sign with her hands,which,her mom said,was the sign for thanks.
Once back in that cart,Dad told me that they all had a life threatening illness and that they might not live to see tomorrow.Suddenly,I realized I should be more thankful that I didn't have these illnesses.I no longer want to enjoy myself at home,play football or watch movies with my friends.I now go to the village regularly and I have even taken my friends along.We would much rather be doing this,seeing things that not a lot of people really get to see and making a difference in these kids' lives.
【导读】 《一个干净明亮的地方》是海明威的早期作品,是一部典型的虚无主义小说,具有典型的海明威风格:文章以虚无思想为主题并大量使用简洁句。
A Clean,Well lighted Place(excerpt)
It was very late and everyone had left the cafe except an old man who sat in the shadow the leaves of the tree made against the electric light.In the day time the street was dusty,but at night the dew settled the dust and the old man liked to sit late because he was deaf and now at night it was quiet and he felt the difference.The two waiters inside the cafe knew that the old man was a little drunk,and while he was a good client they knew that if he became too drunk he would leave without paying,so they kept watch on him.
“Last week he tried to commit suicide,” one waiter said.
“Why?”
“He was in despair.”
“What about?”
“Nothing.”
“How do you know it was nothing?”
“He has plenty of money.”
They sat together at a table that was close against the wall near the door of the cafe and looked at the terrace where the tables were all empty except where the old man sat in the shadow of the leaves of the tree that moved slightly in the wind.A girl and a soldier went by in the street.The street light shone on the brass number on his collar.The girl wore no head covering and hurried beside him.
“The guard will pick him up,”one waiter said.
“What does it matter if he gets what he's after?”
“He had better get off the street now.The guard will get him.They went by five minutes ago.”
The old man sitting in the shadow rapped on his saucer with his glass.The younger waiter went over to him.
“What do you want?”
The old man looked at him.“Another brandy,” he said.
“You'll be drunk,” the waiter said.The old man looked at him.The waiter went away.
“He'll stay all night,” he said to his colleague.
“I'm sleepy now.I never get into bed before three o'clock.He should have killed himself last week.”
The waiter took the brandy bottle and another saucer from the counter inside the cafe and marched out to the old man's table.He put down the saucer and poured the glass full of brandy.
“You should have killed yourself last week,”he said to the deaf man.The old man motioned with his finger.“A little more,”he said.The waiter poured on into the glass so that the brandy slopped over and ran down the stem into the top saucer of the pile.“Thank you,” the old man said.The waiter took the bottle back inside the cafe.He sat down at the table with his colleague again.
“He's drunk now,” he said.
“He's drunk every night.”
“What did he want to kill himself for?”
“How should I know.”
“How did he do it?”
“He hung himself with a rope.”
“Who cut him down?”
“His niece.”
“Why did they do it?”
“Fear for his soul.”
“How much money has he got?”
“He's got plenty.”
“He must be eighty years old.”
“Anyway I should say he was eighty.”
“I wish he would go home.I never get to bed before three o'clock.What kind of hour is that to go to bed?”
“He stays up because he likes it.”
“He's lonely.I'm not lonely.I have a wife waiting in bed for me.”
“He had a wife once too.”
“A wife would be no good to him now.”
“You can't tell.He might be better with a wife.”
“His niece looks after him.You said she cut him down.”
“I know.”
“I wouldn't want to be that old.An old man is a nasty thing.”
“Not always.This old man is clean.He drinks without spilling.Even now,drunk.Look at him.”
“I don't want to look at him.I wish he would go home.He has no regard for those who must work.”
The old man looked from his glass across the square,then over at the waiters.
“Another brandy,” he said,pointing to his glass.The waiter who was in a hurry came over.
“Finished,”he said,speaking with that omission of syntax stupid people employ when talking to drunken people or foreigners.“No more tonight.Close now.”
“Another,”said the old man.
“No.Finished.”The waiter wiped the edge of the table with a towel and shook his head.
The old man stood up,slowly counted the saucers,took a leather coin purse from his pocket and paid for the drinks,leaving half a peseta tip.
The waiter watched him go down the street,a very old man walking unsteadily but with dignity.
《一个干净明亮的地方》(节选)
时间很晚了,大家都离开餐馆,只有一个老人还坐在树叶挡住灯光的阴影里。白天,街上尽是尘埃,到了晚上,露水压住了尘埃。这个老人喜欢坐得很晚,因为他是个聋人,现在是夜里,十分寂静,他感觉得到跟白天的不同。待在餐馆里的两个侍者知道这老人有点儿醉了,他虽然是个好主顾,可是,他们知道,如果他喝得太醉了,他会不付账就走,所以他们一直在留神他。
“上个星期他想自杀,”一个侍者说。
“为什么?”
“他绝望啦。”
“干吗绝望?”
“没事儿。”
“你怎么知道是没事儿?”
“他有很多钱。”
他们一起坐在紧靠着餐馆大门墙边的桌旁,眼睛望着平台,那儿的桌子全都空无一人,只有那个老人坐在随风轻轻飘拂的树叶的阴影里。有个少女和一个大兵走过大街。街灯照在他那领章的铜号码上。那个少女没戴帽子,在他身旁匆匆走着。
“警卫队会把他逮走,”一个侍者说。
“如果他到手了他要找的东西,那又有什么关系呢?”
“他这会儿还是从街上溜走为好。警卫队会找他麻烦,他们五分钟前才经过这里。”
那老人坐在阴影里,用杯子敲敲茶托。那个年纪比较小的侍者走到他那儿。
“你要什么?”
老人朝他看了看。 “再来杯白兰地,”他说。
“你会喝醉的,”侍者说。老人朝他看了一看。侍者走开了。
“他会通宵待在这里,”他对他的同事说。
“我困了。我从来没有在三点钟以前睡觉过。他应该在上星期就自杀了。”
侍者从餐馆里的柜台上拿了一瓶白兰地和另一个茶托,大步走了出来,送到老人桌上。他放下茶托,把杯子倒满了白兰地。
“你应该在上星期就自杀了,”他对那个聋人说。老人把手指一晃。 “再加一点,”他说。侍者又往杯子里倒酒,酒溢了出来,顺着高脚杯的脚流进了一叠茶托的第一只茶托。“谢谢你,”老人说。侍者把酒瓶拿回到餐馆去。他又同他的同事坐在桌旁。
“他这会儿喝醉了,”他说。
“他每天晚上都喝醉。”
“他干吗要自杀呀?”
“我怎么知道。”
“他上次是怎样自杀的?”
“他用绳子上吊。”
“谁把他放下来的?”
“他侄女。”
“干吗要把他放下来?”
“为他的灵魂担忧。”
“他有多少钱?”
“他有很多钱。”
“他准有八十岁喽。”
“不管怎样,我算准他有八十岁。”
“我真希望他回家去。我从来没有在三点钟以前睡觉过。那是个什么样的睡觉时间呀?”
“他因为不喜欢睡觉所以才不睡觉。”
“他孤孤单单。我可不孤单。我有个老婆在床上等着我呢。”
“他从前也有过老婆。”
“这会儿有老婆对他可没好处。”
“话可不能这么说。他有老婆也许会好些。”
“他侄女会照料他。你刚才说是她把他放下来的。”
“我知道。”
“我才不要活得那么老。老人邋里邋遢。”
“不一定都是这样。这个老人干干净净。他喝啤酒并不滴滴答答往外漏。哪怕这会儿喝醉了。你瞧他。”
“我才不想瞧他。我希望他回家去。他并不关心那些非干活不可的人。”
那老人从酒杯上抬起头来望望广场,又望望那两个侍者。
“再来杯白兰地,”他指着杯子说。那个着急的侍者跑了过去。
“没啦,”他不顾什么句法地说,蠢汉在对醉汉或外国人说话时就这么说法。“今晚上没啦。打烊啦。”
“再来一杯。”那老人说。
“不,没啦。”侍者一边拿块毛巾揩揩桌沿,一边摇摇头。
老人站了起来,慢慢地数着茶托,从口袋里摸出一只装硬币的皮夹子来,付了酒账,又放下半个比塞塔作小费。
那个侍者瞅着他顺着大街走去,这个年纪很大的人走起路来,虽然脚步不挺稳,却很有神气。

《一个干净明亮的地方》内容概要
这篇小说所描述的是一位老人和两位侍者的故事,其中老人这一人物形象看似微不足道,但从他自杀和饮酒的两个选择行为来分析,他是个展现了重压之下的优雅风度和精神不败的尊严感的海明威式主人公。两位侍者之间的对话引出了“虚无”这一主题,表明“虚无是对存在的体验,人类只有在内心保持一片干净明亮的地方才能抵御虚无”。

The concept⑩was first talked about as long ago as in the 1920s . The Hungarian author Frigyes Karinthy published a book called Everything Is Different in 1929,in which he introduced the idea of friendship networks and his ideas influenced many of our early impressions of social networks[3].
[3]in which引导非限定性定语从句,修饰先行词a book。
In the 1950s,an attempt was made by two scientists to prove the theory mathematically ;but after twenty years,they still had not had any success.In 1967,an American sociologist called Stanley Milgram tried using a new method to test the theory,which he called the “small world problem”[4].He chose a random sample of people in the middle of America and asked them to send packages to a stranger in the state of Massachusetts.The people sending the packages only knew the name,job and general location of the stranger.[5]Milgram told them to send the package to a person they knew personally who they thought might know the target stranger.Once the parcel had been received by this person,he/she would send the parcel onto a contact of theirs until the parcel could be personally delivered to the correct person.Amazingly ,it only took between five and seven people to get the parcels delivered,and once released ,the results were published in the bimonthly magazine Psychology Today.It was this research that inspired the phrase “Six Degrees of Separation”.[6]
[4]called...是过去分词作定语;which引导定语从句,修饰先行词theory。
[5]sending the packages是现在分词短语作定语,修饰the people。
[6]本句是强调句,强调主语this research。
In the last few decades ,the theory and the phrase have appeared again.Its name was used as the title of a play and then a film.Then,more films and TV programmes based on the concept were made and broadcast .For example,the Oscar winning film Babel is based on the concept of “Six Degrees of Separation”.The lives of all the characters were closely connected,although they did not know each other and lived thousands of miles apart.The television series Lost also explored the idea of “Six Degrees of Separation”,as almost all the characters had randomly met each other,or had met someone the other characters knew,before they were all in the same plane crash .In the mid 1990s,two college students in the United States invented a game.The idea of the game was to link any actor to Kevin Bacon,a famous American actor and musician,through no more than six links.Soon the game was being played in universities across the United States.
In 2003,Columbia University tried to recreate Milgram's experiment on the Internet.This became known as the “Columbia Small world Project”.The experiment involved 24,163 email chains with 18 target people in 13 different countries.The results confirmed that the average number of links in the chain was six.
Most recently,an experiment in 2011 at the University of Milan analysed the relationship between 721 million social media users and found that 92 percent were connected by only four stages,or five degrees of separation .
So,think about it for a minute:How might you be connected to the driver of the bus you regularly take or the person who delivers your parcels?
译文参考
研究表明,普通人只与7至15个人经常保持联系,而且其中大部分的交流实际上只发生在5到10个亲近的人身上。不过,也许我们与世界上其他人的联系比想象中的更紧密。“六度分隔”理论说的是地球上任何人都可通过不超过另外五个人与一个陌生人联系起来。
这个概念早在20世纪20年代就被提出。匈牙利作家弗里吉斯·考林蒂在1929年出版了一本名为《一切皆不同》的书,书中介绍了朋友关系网的概念,许多早期关于社交网络的构想都受到他思想的影响。
20世纪50年代,两位科学家试图用数学方法证明该理论,但20年过去了,仍未成功。1967年,美国社会学家斯坦利·米尔格拉姆试图用新的方法来验证这一理论,他称之为“小世界问题”。米尔格拉姆在美国中部随机抽取一部分人作为样本,让他们给马萨诸塞州的一位陌生人寄包裹。这些寄送包裹的人只知道这位陌生人的姓名、工作和大致的位置。米尔格拉姆告诉这些人先把包裹寄给认为有可能认识目标收件人的熟人。一旦此人收到包裹,他或她就会将包裹再发给认识的人,直到该包裹被送到目标收件人手中。令人惊讶的是,这些包裹只需通过5至7个人就能送到正确的人手中。结果一经公布,便发表在双月刊《今日心理学》上。正是这项研究启发了“六度分隔”这一说法。
在过去的几十年里,这一理论和说法又再次出现。它被用作戏剧标题和电影名称。随后,更多基于这一理论的影视节目相继拍摄、播出。例如,奥斯卡获奖影片《通天塔》就是基于“六度分隔”这一概念。影片中所有人物彼此不认识、相隔千里,但他们的生活都是紧密相连的。电视连续剧《迷失》也探讨了“六度分隔”的理论,剧中失事飞机上几乎所有人物此前都曾偶遇,或曾遇见其他人物认识的人。上世纪90年代中期,美国两名大学生发明了一款游戏。这个游戏的玩法是用不超过六个联结将任意一个演员与著名演员、音乐家凯文·贝肯联系起来。这款游戏很快在美国的大学里流行起来。
2003年,哥伦比亚大学尝试在互联网上重现米尔格拉姆的实验,被称为“哥伦比亚小世界项目”。这项实验涉及24 163个电子邮件链接,覆盖了来自13个国家的18个目标人物。实验结果证实,联络串上的联结平均数量是6个。
最新的是2011年米兰大学的一项实验,该实验分析了7.21亿社交媒体用户之间的关系,发现92%的用户只需通过四个阶段(即五度分隔),就可建立联系。
所以,思考一下这个问题:你与你经常乘坐的公交车司机或给你送包裹的人可能存在怎样的联系?

【语篇解读】 本文讲述了美国男歌手Bruno Mars的成名故事。
1.which [考查定语从句。句意:当他小时候,他经常和家人在舞台上表演,这给了他充分的信心和经验。空处引导非限制性定语从句,关系词指代整个主句内容并在从句中作主语,故填which。]
2.decided [考查动词时态。句意:高中毕业后,Bruno决定搬到洛杉矶发展他的音乐事业。根据前文的“After graduating from high school”可知此处描述过去发生的事情,需要用一般过去时态,故填decided。]
3.regularly [考查副词。句意:他习惯于作为音乐家定期在夏威夷演出。修饰动词短语giving performances用副词,故填regularly。]
4.stronger [考查比较级。句意:但在洛杉矶,竞争更加激烈,所以Bruno很难进入音乐行业。根据句意以及前文的比较级修饰词much可知,此处需要用形容词比较级,比较夏威夷和洛杉矶的竞争,故填stronger。]

7.It/That [考查代词。句意:它也成了第一名。此处指代his first original song,“Just the Way You Are”。所以用表示单数的代词it或that,故填It/That。]
8.success [考查名词。句意:这首歌的成功迅速给Bruno带来了名气和明星地位。本句用名词success在句中作主语,表示单数概念,故填success。]

There may be times when we feel like our connection to the universe is closed.Maybe things don't seem to be going well in our day,or our lives,or we may feel out of our element.The truth is,the universe is always there for us.We know that we create our experience with our thoughts,and this is another way we need to make a conscious decision about how we want to experience life.It is up to us to do the work of making the connection,because nobody can do it for us,though sometimes the universe may send us wake up calls.
Each year Ben is glad when school is closed on Martin Luther King Jr.Day.Ben knows that this day honors an important man,but Ben does not feel connected to him.However,the small world theory connects Ben to Dr.King.Ben's mom (0) has a close friend,Amy (1).Amy's uncle,Mark (2),once met and spoke to John Carter (3),the son of President Jimmy Carter (4).Jimmy Carter knew Dr.King (5).In a way,Ben is only “five people away” from Martin Luther King Jr.
The small world theory says that everyone in the world is connected through a short chain (链条) of people they know.Another name of this chain is degrees of separation.Each degree is a step that separates a person from someone he or she does not know.There are zero degrees of separation between a person and the people he or she knows directly.This means that there are zero degrees between Ben and his mom.There is one degree of separation when just one person separates someone from a person he or she does not know.The theory says that there are no more than six degrees of separation between any two people in the world.

Arriving in Sydney on his own from India,my husband,Rashid,stayed in a hotel for a short time while looking for a house for me and our children.
During the first week of his stay,he went out one day to do some shopping.He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone.He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers,including his passport.
He reported the case to the police and then sat there,lost and lonely in a strange city,thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.
Late in the evening,the phone rang.It was a stranger.He was trying to pronounce my husband's name and was asking him a lot of questions.Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.
My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents.Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers.Her parents had carefully sorted them out,although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents.At last they had seen a half written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.
That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people.We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.

C [细节理解题。根据文章倒数第二段“At last they had seen a half written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.”可知,陌生人一家是通过作者丈夫文件中的一封信里的内容得知他的电话号码的,故答案选C。]

There are those who save every takeaway container.There are others who throw away every takeaway container and later wish they hadn't clone so.Wouldn't it be great if these two people could do each other a favor and just swap(交换)
Across the world,those with too much “junk”,and those who can't get enough of it,are exchanging and sharing their stuff online on a network called Freecycle.On Freecycle,people can swap with others who live within a few miles of them.All you have to do is list whatever you have to give away or whatever you're looking for.Take a quick visit to the website,and you can get your hands on a baby stroller,a dictionary,or a pair of shoes.Just sign up and make sure you turn up to collect your new-or,rather,old—item.
“Freecycling” isn't just a trend,though.It's becoming the accepted way of doing things.If your child has grown up,what better way to deal with his or her stroller than to give it to another kid?And if you're moving house,your expensive necessities,even beds and cupboards,can just be freecycled.
Admittedly?A lot of the items carry warnings,such as “TV with remote control missing” or“saucepan (no lid)”.And some listings are a bit bossy,too,as in “ladies' shoes”—must be collected TONIGHT!!
It's also possible to get a bit addicted to Freecycle.A “bamboo cocktail bar”,a“cupboard with 20 very small drawers”,a huge pile of squares of cloth,great for craft projects! It all sounded so good to one of my flatmates that she became an example of a “Freecycle addict”.But that didn't matter,of course.Everything she got could later be freecycled off again.
【语篇解读】 文章讲述了闲置商品网站Freecycle的相关情况以及它给人们提供的便利。
5.Why does the author mention two kinds of people in Paragraph 1
A.To lead to the topic of Freecycle.
B.To compare their different habits.
C.To call on people to help each other.
D.To help them exchange takeaway containers.
A [推理判断题。第一段中“There are those who save every takeaway container.There are others who throw away every takeaway container and later wish they hadn't clone so.”提到两类人对外卖盒的不同处理方法,紧接着用一句否定的一般疑问句“Wouldn't it be great if these two people could do each other a favor and just swap?”给出了建议,这就为第二段引出闲置商品网站“Freecycle”做好了铺垫,因此A项“To lead to the topic of Freecycle.”正确。故选A项。]
6.What can people do on Freecycle
A.Buy cheap things.
B.Make friends online.
C.Store their own things.
D.Offer unwanted items for free.
D [细节理解题。根据文章第二段“On Freecycle,people can swap with others who live within a few miles of them.All you have to do is list whatever you have to give away or whatever you're looking for.”以及下文可知,人们可以在Freecycle网站上免费提供或获得自己所需的物品。故选D项。]
7.What is the last paragraph mainly about
A.Everything on Freecycle is expensive.
B.My flatmate has nothing to do with Freecycle.
C.It is possible to get useless things from Freecycle.
D.It is easy for some people to get crazy about Freecycle.
D [主旨大意题。文章最后一段的第一句“It's also possible to get a bit addicted to Freecycle.”为段落主旨句。下文通过“one of my flatmates”的例子来对此加以说明。D项概括了最后一段的段落大意。故选D。]
8.What can we say about freecycling
A.It is not a possible trend.
B.It is win win for some people.
C.It can cause some problems.
D.It is likely to produce waste.
B [推理判断题。根据文章第二段“On Freecycle,people can swap with others who live within a few miles of them.All you have to do is list whatever you have to give away or whatever you're looking for.”以及下文可知,人们在闲置网站上能免费提供或者得到自己闲置的物品,Freecycling给大家提供了各取所需,互惠互利的平台,因此它对一些人来说是双赢的。故选B。]

Learning to Love Locally Grown Foods
Cooking shows on TV are usually all about foreign foods.Thanks to globalization,people everywhere are introducing their taste buds to dishes from every corner of the world. 1 In the past few years,the number of people purchasing local foods has been rising because it offers a lot of benefits.
For starters,local food is often tastier because it is fresher.Imported goods must be flown or shipped in from far away,so they naturally lose some of their freshness during the journey. 2 These materials may cause the nutritional value of these goods to decline during the shipping process.Food safety is another reason why people are choosing local produce.Today's laws regarding foods vary from country to country. 3 But when you know the local farmer who grows your food,the chances of it being polluted are greatly reduced.
Buying local foods can also have a beneficial impact on the environment.Buying local,consumers can maintain green space and farmland in their communities.Besides,if farmers can sell directly to consumers,they will earn more money for their families.Additional profits also enable farmers to better care for their soil and keep quality standards high. 4
5 This is an open area where farmers sell fruits,vegetables,and meat directly to the public.Once you experience the freshness of local foods for yourself,it might be tough to go back to the supermarket.
A.In the end,it's a win win situation for both parties.
B.However,some disagree with the idea of importing foreign foods.
C.To conclude,the farmers can make money and improve their life.
D.This makes it difficult to detect if any harmful chemicals have been used.
E.At the same time,other people are discovering that food from their area is the best.
F.If you're interested in having more local foods,you can even attend a farmers' market.
G.Imported goods must also be packaged in plastic or other containers to survive the journey.

原文呈现
Marilla saw Matthew in the front yard and immediately rushed① to the door.But when her eyes fell on the odd② little figure③ in the stiff,ugly④ dress,with the long red hair and the eager⑤,bright eyes,she froze⑥ in amazement⑦.
“Matthew Cuthbert,who's that?”she asked.“Where is the boy?”
“There wasn't any boy,” said Matthew.“There was only her.”
He nodded⑧ at the child,remembering that he had never even asked her name.
“No boy! But there must have been a boy,”insisted⑨ Marilla.“We sent word to Mrs Spencer to bring a boy.”
“Well,she didn't.She brought her.She arrived at the train station and couldn't be left there alone⑩.”
During this dialogue the child had remained silent.Suddenly she seemed to grasp the full meaning of what had been said.She sprang forward a step and clasped her hands.
“You don't want me!” the girl cried.“You don't want me because I'm not a boy! I might have expected it.I might have known it was all too beautiful to last.I might have known nobody really did want me.Oh,what am I going to do?I'm going to burst into tears !”
Burst into tears she did.Sitting down on a chair by the table,throwing her arms on it,and burying her face in them,she proceeded to cry stormily . Marilla and Matthew looked at each other.Neither of them knew what to say or do.Finally Marilla stepped in to try to comfort the child.
“Well,well,there's no need to cry so about it.”
“Yes,there is need!” The child raised her head,revealing a tear stained face.“You would cry,too,if you were an orphan and had come to a place you thought was going to be home and found that they didn't want you because you weren't a boy.”
“Well,don't cry anymore.We're not going to send you off tonight.You'll have to stay here until we investigate this affair .What's your name?”
“Anne,” said the child sadly.
“Well,come along ,Anne.It's dinner time.”
They all sat down for dinner but Anne could not eat.She tried to enjoy the bread and butter and the apple jam out of the little glass dish by her plate but she had no appetite .
“You're not eating anything,” said Marilla sharply ,eying her as if it were a serious problem[1].Anne sighed .
[1]as if从句使用虚拟语气,表示对现在事实相反的假设。
“I can't.I'm in the depths of despair .Can you eat when you are in the depths of despair?”
“I've never been in the depths of despair,so I can't say,” responded Marilla.
“Weren't you?Well,did you ever try to imagine you were in the depths of despair?”
“No,I didn't.”
“I guess she's tired,” said Matthew.“Best put her to bed,Marilla.”
Marilla had been wondering where Anne should be put to bed.She decided on the small bedroom on the first floor.She lit a candle and told Anne to follow her,which Anne did,taking her hat and bag from the hall table as she passed.The hall was perfectly clean;the little room in which she found herself seemed still cleaner[2].
[2]in which引导定语从句,修饰先行词room。
Marilla set the candle on a three legged table and turned down the bedclothes.
“Well,undress as quick as you can and go to bed.I'll come back in a few minutes for the candle.I daren't trust you to put it out yourself.You'd likely set the place on fire .”
When Marilla had gone,Anne looked around her sadly.The whitewashed walls were so painfully bare .The floor was bare,too.In one corner was the bed,a high,old fashioned one of dark wood.Midway between table and bed was the window,with an icy white curtain over it.There was no restroom,but there was a wash stand with a faucet in the other corner.The whole room felt cold and unwelcoming ,which sent a shiver through Anne's bones.With a sob she quickly undressed,put on her nightclothes and jumped into bed where she pressed her face down into the pillow and pulled the clothes over her head.
When Marilla came up for the light,she saw the untidy way the clothing had been thrown on the floor.She carefully picked up Anne's clothes,placed them neatly on a yellow chair,and then,taking up the candle,went over to the bed.
“Good night,”she said,a little awkwardly ,but not unkindly.
Anne's white face and big eyes appeared over the bedclothes.“How can you call it a good night when you know it must be the very worst night I've ever had?” she said disapprovingly .Then she dived1 down into the bedclothes again.
To bed went Matthew.And to bed,when she had put her dishes away,went Marilla,frowning most resolutely.And up stairs,in the east gable,a lonely,heart hungry,friendless child cried herself to sleep.
译文参考
玛丽拉看见马修到前院了,立刻冲到门口。但当她的目光落在那个衣服不合身又难看、长着红色长头发、眼睛热切而明亮的古怪小人身上时,她惊呆了。
“马修·卡斯伯特,她是谁?那个男孩子呢?”她问道。
“没有男孩子,只有她在那里。”马修答道。
他向那孩子点了点头,突然想起自己甚至还没有问过女孩儿的名字。
“没有男孩儿!可是一定得有个男孩儿,”玛丽拉坚持说。“我们给斯宾塞太太捎口信要带个男孩子来的呀。”
“好吧,她没有。斯宾塞太太只带来了这个孩子。她到了火车站,总不能把她一个人扔在那儿吧。”
俩人说话时,这孩子一声不吭。突然,她似乎完全明白了他们说话的意思,冲上前一步,双手紧握。
“你们不想要我!”她大喊道。“你们不想要我,就因为我不是男孩儿!我早就应该料到。我早就应该知道这件事太美好,无法持久。我早就应该想到没人真得想要我。哦,我该怎么办呀?我马上就要哭出来了!”
她立刻哭了起来。一下坐到桌边的椅子上,扑到桌上,脸埋在臂弯里,放声大哭。玛丽拉和马修面面相觑,都不知道该说什么,也不知道该做点儿什么。最后玛丽拉试着走上前安慰这个孩子。
“好啦,好啦,没必要为这事儿哭成这样。”
“有,有必要!”那孩子抬起头,露出一张泪痕斑斑的脸。“如果你是个孤儿,来到一个满以为会成为自己家的地方,却发现他们并不想要你,因为你不是个男孩,你也会哭的。”
“好吧,别再哭了。今晚我们不会送你走的。在我们搞清楚这件事之前,你先待在这儿。你叫什么名字?”
“我叫安妮,”孩子悲伤地说。
“好的,来吧,安妮,该吃晚饭了。”
他们都坐下来吃饭,但安妮吃不下。她试着吃点儿面包、黄油和摆在她盘子旁边小玻璃碟里的苹果酱,但一点胃口都没有。
“你什么都没吃,”玛丽拉严厉地说,眼睛盯着她,好像这是个严重的问题。安妮叹了口气。
“我吃不下。我彻底绝望了。你彻底绝望的时候还能吃得下东西吗?”
“我从来没有完全绝望的时候,所以没法回答,”玛丽拉回答道。
“你没有过吗?好吧,那你有没有试着想象自己陷入了绝望的深渊?”
“不,没想过。”
“我想她一定是累了,”马修说。“最好让她去睡觉吧,玛丽拉。”
玛丽拉一直在想应该让安妮睡在哪里,最后决定安排在一楼的小卧室。她点了根蜡烛,让安妮跟着她。安妮跟了上来,路过大厅时从桌子上拿起自己的帽子和包。大厅非常干净,她发现自己进来的这间小屋似乎更干净。
玛丽拉把蜡烛放在一张3条腿的桌子上,铺开床褥。
“好了,赶快脱掉衣服上床睡觉吧。几分钟后我会回来拿蜡烛,我可不放心让你自己吹灭蜡烛,你很可能会放火烧了这个地方。”
玛丽拉走后,安妮悲伤地环顾四周。四周的墙壁粉刷得雪白,什么装饰也没有。地板上也空荡荡的,角落里有一张床,一张高高的老式深色木床。桌子和床的中间有一扇窗,窗上挂着一块冰白色的窗帘。房间里没有洗手间,但另一个角落有一个带水龙头的洗漱台。整个房间让人感到寒冷而陌生,安妮浑身打了个冷战。她抽泣着,迅速脱下衣服,穿上睡衣,跳到床上,把脸埋在枕头里,拉过棉被蒙住脑袋。
玛丽拉回来取蜡烛时,看到安妮的衣服乱七八糟地扔在地上,便仔细地拾起衣服,整齐地放在黄色的椅子上,然后拿起蜡烛,走到床边。
“晚安,”她口气有些生硬,但透着一丝温情。
安妮从被子里露出苍白的脸蛋和大眼睛。“你明明知道这一定是我度过的最糟糕的一晚,还说什么晚安呢?”她反驳道。然后又钻进了被子里。
马修上床睡觉了。玛丽拉收拾完盘子,紧紧地皱着眉头,也回到房间休息了。楼上东山墙那边的房间里,一个孤独、心灰意冷、没有朋友的孩子,哭泣着进入了梦乡。
