It was a cold winter night when the police officer Lee and the detective Smith were walking back to the police station. They saw a robber attacking an old woman on the road. Lee and Smith ran over to the robber at once.
The robber saw them and ran away as fast as he could. Lee and Smith followed him for a long distance until the robber rushed into an underground station.

The fourth one was quietly reading a newspaper. His face was hidden behind the newspaper.
The fifth one was wearing a big coat, sitting on a bench quietly.

It was last January, when I’d just finished a charity and was on the train back home, that I put down my phone and started writing thank-you notes to people who had helped.
When I got off the train, I felt amazingly good. The next day, I wrote more thank-you notes and the same feeling of happiness hit me again. I suddenly had the idea: Why not keep on doing this for every day of the year
To keep on task, I decided to pick out a different theme for each month. January was charity.
February would be 2 , I decided. And I thought of a number of names right away: the owner of our local bookstore, who let me and my little son in before the store opened and offered to play his favorite songs; our babysitter, who dropped off a bag of old board games for our kids to play; …
While writing the notes, I realized how often I had spent my time on the phone moving from app to app, appreciating (欣赏) other people’s lives. Writing thank-you notes allowed me the time to do something different, paying more attention to my own life.
In the following months, I wrote to my friends, doctors, teachers and parenting role models. In July, my “food” month, I wrote to Julie, who used to cook at my favorite restaurant. It went like this:
Dear Julie,
I’ve been finding myself missing you lately. Thank you for hosting and cooking beautiful and thoughtful food. Jake and I will never forget when you sent out biscuits shaped into the number VI for our sixth anniversary ( 周年纪念日). We talk about it every year.
Thank you. We miss you.
Love,
Gina
I was happy to receive a note back from her. Julie replied, “I don’t think I’ve ever received such a touching letter before. I’m going through a hard time right now, and this helps.”
On December 31, I wrote my last card — to Jake, my husband, and our two kids. And I took a picture of us, so I could remember the feeling welling up inside me. Gratitude.
5．How did Julie most probably feel after reading the note from Gina
A．Shy and surprised. B．Pleased and relaxed.
C．Nervous and excited. D．Moved and encouraged.
6．Which is the most suitable word for 2
A．friends B．relatives C．neighbours D．strangers
7．What did Gina get by doing her task according to the passage
A．Many thanks from her neighbors. B．More time to appreciate her own life.
C．More help from people around her. D．Happy moments to be with her friends.

I learned to carry my master on my back and pull a coach. I learned to wear reins (缰绳) and a bit in my mouth. I did not like them but all the horses had to wear them.

Squire Gordon and his men felt sorry for Ginger. They were always kind to her. She stopped biting and kicking people. She became a happy horse.
One day in autumn Squire Gordon went on a long journey. John went with him and I pulled the coach. The weather was rainy and windy. Mr. Gordon and John could not see well in the rain. We came to a bridge. I stopped. “Something is wrong,” I thought. I did not want to go on to the bridge. Mr. Gordon and John wanted me to go on to the bridge. I did not move. Just then a man saw us. “Stop!” he cried.
“The bridge is broken in the middle, If you go on to it, you are all going to in the river.”
“Thank God!” said the Squire.
Then John said, “Black Beauty saved our lives. He knew the bridge was dangerous.”
When we returned home, Squire Gordon told his wife, “We are all safe, thanks to Black Beauty.”
That night, I was glad though I was very tired.

At noon that day, I drove back to my house after the performance. Just as I entered the living room, I heard a gentle sound coming from the bedroom upstairs—it was the sound of my favorite violin.
“Thief!”
I dashed upstairs. Sure enough, as expected, a boy of about 12 years old was petting my violin. The boy had messy hair and a thin face, his oversized coat seemingly filled with something. At first glance, I found a new pair of shoes missing. It seemed that he was surely a thief.
Then, I saw his eyes full of fear and despair. My anger was immediately replaced by a smile. I asked, “Are you Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael I’m his housekeeper. Two days ago, I heard his nephew living in the countryside will come. It must be you. You’re really like him!”
Hearing my words, the boy was first astonished but then quickly said, “Has my uncle gone out I think I’d better first go out for a walk and visit him again in a while.”
I nodded and asked the boy who was preparing to put down the violin, “Do you like to play the violin so much ”
“Yes, but I’m so poor that I can’t afford it,” the boy replied.
“Then I give this violin to you.” The boy looked at me questioningly, but he picked up the violin. Going out to the living room, he suddenly saw on the wall my huge color photo I performed in the Sydney Opera House. He trembled for a moment and ran out without looking back.
I was sure that the boy had understood what happened because no one would decorate the living room with the housekeeper’s photo.
A few years later, at a music competition of senior high school students in Melbourne, I was invited to judge the final. Finally, a violin player called Merritt won the first prize with his strength!
After the award, Merritt ran to me holding a violin box, excited, asked, “Mr. Brian, do you still know me You have given me a violin which I have been treasuring until today! Today, I can give back this violin to you without regret...” It turned out that he was “Mr. Ram’s nephew Michael”!
Tears welled up in my eyes.
12．Why did the author address the boy “Mr. Ram’s nephew, Michael”
A．Because Michael is the boy’s name.
B．Because he mistook the boy for Michael.
C．Because he wanted to protect the boy’s self-respect.

13．Who is the author
A．The housekeeper B．The house owner.

Well, it wasn’t long before I wished I had stayed on land! After only a few hours at sea, rain fell and the wind howled. The waves tossed the ship around like a toy.
“Are you all right, Robinson ” Tom had to shout to be heard in the terrible wind. “No. I think I’m going to be sick,” I cried. I had never had sea-sickness before, and I was miserable. “It’s a punishment from God. I never should have disobeyed father,” I thought as I felt sicker and sicker.
The weather got worse. The wind blew and thunder and lightning struck the water. I felt sure we were all going to die. “Please, God,” I prayed. “If you save me, I will go home to York, and work hard at business with my father. I’ll never step onto a ship again!”
Fortunately, the storm soon ended. Evening came, and the stars shone brightly in a clear sky. The wind stopped and the water became calm. I slept deeply. The next morning, it was a beautiful day. The water was a sparkling blue and the sun shone.
As we sailed into the south, I forgot all about my fear of the storm.
I stood on the ship and watched the English coast pass us by, and I felt all the world was mine. I could go anywhere and do anything!
Tom and I became friends with the rest of the men and one of them offered us some rum. It wasn’t long before we wanted another drink, then another. Soon we were all happily drunk and singing sea songs.
A few days later we were near the English city of Yarmouth. Looking at the clouds in the sky, we saw that we were heading into another storm, but I wasn’t afraid. But this storm made the storm I saw on my first day at sea look like a soft gentle rain.
16．According to first three paragraphs, which saying can best express Robinson’s situation
A．The good seaman is known in bad weather.
B．After a storm comes a calm.
C．Good advice is beyond price.
D．He who doesn’t listen to the old suffers in front of him.
17．Why did Robinson think the storm was a “punishment from God”
A．Because he felt quiet sick. B．Because he didn’t listen to his father.
C．Because the storm meant God’s anger. D．Because he failed in business.
18．The underlined sentence “But this storm made the storm I saw on my first day at sea look like a soft gentle rain” implies (暗示)________.
A．Robinson was brave enough to face another storm
B．Robinson was ready to take on the following challenges
C．the first storm wasn’t terrible at all

A teenager in Shenyang, Northeast China’s Liaoning province, reported a mistake in a textbook to its publisher, pointing out a mix-up of two insects in one of its illustrations (插图).
“I noticed a tiny mistake on page 95 of the English textbook published by Shanghai Educational Publishing House when I was preparing lessons before class,” said Cui Chenxi, a 7th grader in Shenyang No. 126 Middle School. Cui had found an illustration captioned as “bee” to actually be hoverfly in the picture.
An editor of the publisher on Friday confirmed the mistake they made after consulting a biology teacher and said it will correct the mistake by replacing the wrong picture in a reprinted version after it gets approval (批准) from the Ministry of Education.
The editor also thanked the 12-year-old boy for reporting the mistake, and praised him for being “really professional”.
When asked how he discovered the mistake Cui said, “It’s simple. Bees have two pairs of wings while hoverflies have only one pair of functional wings and bees are plump with their round belly versus the hoverfly’s slim figure. What’s more, bees have distinct tentacles while those of hoverflies are obscure.”
As a young man who took an interest in biology, Cui had raised 10 types of ants in his primary school days in order to observe (观察) the insects’ habits and their division of labor, according to Cui’s mother. The family stores more than 300 titles of books related to natural science and Cui has a bookshelf of his own.
Many net users expressed their appreciation of Cui’s devotion to science and commented that it’s only with passion (爱好) that one can reach higher achievement.
20．According to what Cui said, how many differences are there between hoverflies and bees
A．3 B．4 C．2 D．5
21．Which of the following is similar to the underlined word “consulting” in Para 3 in meaning
A．show off B．pay a visit to C．pick...up D．ask...for help
22．What’s the main idea of the 2nd paragraph from bottom
A．It tells what Cui is interested in.
B．It explains why Cui could discover the mistake.
C．It describes how many books Cui has read.
D．It shows how gifted Cui is.
23．Cui could correct the mistake mainly because of .
A．his passion for natural science B．the previous (先前的) biology lessons
C．the help from his parents D．his experience of raising ants

Bassanio looked at the three boxes, but he did not read the writing on them. He looked at the gold and silver.
“The world is tricked by appearances,” he said. “People often hide ordinary things with beautiful gold, silver, and jewels. People always agree with those who speak well, even if they say foolish things. Many people who seem brave are really cowards. How often do we believe in leaders who turn out to be bad I remember the story of Midas, the man who loved gold too much. He wanted everything to be gold. He wished that he could make everything gold just by touching it. When he could, it was a disaster. He could not eat his golden food, and he was afraid to touch his daughter. No, I do not want these beautiful boxes of gold and silver. I will choose the lead box with its ordinary color. It speaks more to me than all the gold and silver in the world. Please give me the key to the lead box. Let happiness be mine.
One of the servants gave him the key, and he went to the box and opened it. Portia was very pleased. She could not believe it, until Bassanio opened the box and saw the picture of Portia inside it. When he saw the picture, he loved her even more because the picture was very beautiful. He wondered how anyone could paint such a good picture of her. It was almost as beautiful as Portia herself. He looked at all the parts of the picture. He looked at the eyes and the hair and the mouth. All of them were perfect. But Portia herself even more beautiful than her picture.
The writing inside the box told him that he had chosen the right box. It said that he should go to Portia and look into her eyes. She would be his wife. Bassanio could not believe it. “Is it really true ” he asked. “Will you really be my wife I am afraid to believe it until you say so.”

Once there was a king who never ate a meal unless there was a dish of fish with it, but one day there was a big storm and the fishermen were not able to go out to catch fish, so the king had no breakfast and no lunch. Then he ordered his servants to tell everybody in his capital that if anyone brought him a fish, he would give him anything that he asked for.
