A篇
It was the first time I had noticed him properly. Before this, Jack had just been a friendly young man provided by the hotel to accompany（陪伴）me on trips to the wildlife park nearby. But then he caught my attention by asking me to shut up.
“It's just a garden spider. Don't cry!” he said, looking at the creature with more love than I could gather for most humans. I had indeed cried-I was in the front seat of a jeep and the spider was on my leg.
“I don't care what it is. Make it go away!” I said. I wanted him to pick the thing up and throw it out of the jeep right at that moment. He did something quite else.
He pushed his leg towards mine and held out the cloth of his trousers to gently let the spider go onto his own leg. He then drove on, as if nothing had happened. The spider climbed a little bit and then just stopped on his knee. I sat there staring at the spider for any sudden movement.
I was frightened that the man was completely at ease with a spider dangerously quiet on his knee. About 15 minutes later, he pushed his knee forward to the dashboard（仪表盘） and the spider immediately climbed off his knee and on to the jeep.“The poor thing had been trying to get off me,” he said. “I only noticed now that it was trying to reach the dashboard, so I helped it along.”
I wondered then about this man, who thought about the spider with such kindness... Where and when did I lose my empathy（同情） towards the unfamiliar Now, when faced with a row of ants on the staircase, my first reaction is no longer to attack them. The ants were already wise, but thanks to Jack, I learnt to live with the not so beautiful bits of nature.

A. invited Jack to go to the wildlife park
B. was excited to keep Jack company
C. fell in love with Jack at the first sight
D. didn't take seriously of Jack

D. To observe it with love.
( )3. How did Jack help the spider
A. Put it on his knee for a look.
B. Made it move onto his leg.

B篇
When my kids were young，we bought them two pet parrots. These beautiful, white birds would whistle all through the day. We had a big cage for them with toys, and a mirror, plus food and water dishes. We couldn't let them fly in the house because of our cats, but they didn't seem to be content in their cage or so, I thought.
One day when the air had turned warm, I opened the window to let the wind in. The songs of lots of different birds filled the air and our two parrots sang with excitement. I went over to their cage to replace their water, but as soon as I opened the door, one of them flew out and headed for the window. He crashed into the glass, fell over onto the sofa, fell back up and then started to fly around the living room. The cats ran after him, hoping for a quick meal. The kids screamed（尖叫） and I rushed to save him. It took several minutes to stop the cats from catching the bird, and get him safely back in his cage. After that day, however, I always felt a bit sorry for my parrots. I knew that no matter how comfortable their cage was, they still wanted to fly.
Many of us live in cages of our own making. We close our minds, lock away our hearts, and limit our lives. We refuse to see the love that lies within us. We sit in our cages day after day and never dare to once open the door.
I don't want to waste my days sitting bored in a cage. I want to go fast through the sky on wings of kindness and joy. I want to ride on the winds of love and help everyone to do the same. Don't stay stuck in your own cage then. Let yourself fly!
（ ）5. Why did the writer put parrots into the cage
A. Because they could be eaten by the cats.
B. Because they were too young to fly in the air.
C. Because they could see themselves in the mirror.
D. Because they would get enough food and water.
（ ）6.After flying out of the cage, the parrot
A. couldn't stand up after crashing into the glass
B. attempted to fly out of the window
C. played a hide-and-seek game with eats
D. frightened the kids to scream loudly
( )7. Why did the writer feel sorry for parrots
A. Because they liked living in a cage.
B. Because their cage wasn't comfortable for them.
C. Because they couldn't fly freely like other birds.
D. Because their enemies were waiting to kill them.
( )8. What does the third paragraph suggest
A. We try to protect ourselves from danger.
B. We like to make a living all by ourselves.
C. We do not dare to speak out our love.
D. We often put ourselves in a life cage.
C篇
Sometimes people come into your life and you know that they were sure to be there at once. They may come for some reasons: teach you a lesson, or help to find out who you are or who you want to become. You never know who these people may be: your classmate, neighbor, teacher, long-lost friend or even a real stranger. But you know that they will affect (影响) your life in some serious ways.
Sometimes things happen to you. Maybe they seem terrible, painful (痛苦的) and unfair at that time. But later, after getting over those difficulties, you may realize your further ability. Everything happens for a reason and nothing happens by chance or with good or bad luck.
The people you meet may affect or change your life, your success, your failure and create who you are. Even the bad experiences can be learned from. In fact, they are possibly the most poignant and important ones.
Enjoy every day, even every moment for you may never be able to experience it again. Talk to people you have never talked to before, and really listen. You should set your sights high, try to learn more, hold your head up, tell yourself you are a great one and believe in yourself.
You can make your life anything you wish. Create your own life, go out and enjoy it.

“For us, it shows the need to make safety the absolute base of everything we do," said Eric Allison, Uber's head of Elevate.
Safety will also be a concern in Australia, where Uber has nearly 4 million regular customers for its ride-hailing service.
“We will continue to work with communities and governments to ensure that we create an urban aviation (飞行） ride-share network that is safe, quiet and green," Anderson said.

In a small farm lived three close friends, Charlotte, a spider, Templeton, a mouse and Wilbur, a pig. When Wilbur was told that he was going to be killed and eaten at Christmas, he turned to Charlotte for help. Charlotte had the idea of writing words in her web to express Wilbur's excellence, reasoning that if she could make Wilbur famous, he would not be killed.
In the cool of the evening， when shadows（阴影） darkened the Fair Grounds， Templeton， the mouse, climbed out from his cave and looked around. Wilbur lay asleep in the farm. Charlotte was building a web. Templeton＇s keen nose detected（察觉） many fine smells in the air. He decided to go exploring. Without saying anything to anybody, he started off.
“Bring me back a word!” Charlotte called after him. “I shall be writing tonight for Wilbur's survival.” “Got it,” the mouse said, disappearing into the shadows.
After the heat of the day, the evening came as a welcome relief to all. Templeton kept out of sight. In the tall grass behind the cattle farm he found a folded newspaper. Inside it was remained food from somebody's lunch: a half sandwich, a piece of Swiss cheese, part of a hard-boiled egg. and the core of an apple. The mouse went in and ate everything. Then he tore a word out of the paper, rolled it up, and started back to the pig farm.
Charlotte had her web almost finished when Templeton returned, carrying the paper. She had left a space in the middle of the web. At this hour, no people were around the farm, so the mouse and the spider and the pig were by themselves. “I hope you brought a good word which would let Wilbur alive when Christmas comes,” Charlotte said. “Here,” said Templeton, showing the unrolling paper.
注意：
1．续写词数应为150左右；

Dear Li Ming,
I'm sorry to know that you are having trouble in learning English.
As we all know, English is very important. We can communicate with foreigners all over the world if we learn English well.
Here are some tips on how to learn English well. Firstly, you should listen to your English teacher carefully in class, take notes and finish homework. Secondly, you should spare no effort to read interesting English news, which can help you increase the interest in English. Finally, it would be a good idea if you try to communicate with your classmates in English. Only in this way can you learn English well. I believe you can succeed.
Yours,
Li Hua

One possible version:
“What does it say ” asked Charlotte. “You have to spell the word for me” “L-U-C-K-Y,” replied the mouse. “'Lucky' means that Wilbur is a lucky pig. In other words, he will bring good fortune for the world.”“ You've been very helpful,” Charlotte said with satisfaction. The mouse smiled. “I'm going to make a night of it,” he said. “Bye, my lucky Wilbur! Fare you well, Charlotte! This will be a night to remember in a mouse's life.” He disappeared into the shadows. Few hours later, Charlotte had finished her web.
Wilbur said, “Charlotte, do you really think my master will not kill me with the help of the word ” “Of course,” said Charlotte. “You will be a famous pig who deserves to live longer. Tomorrow you will be well-known, and the whole world will hear about you. The master will be proud and feel fortunate to own such a lucky pig. Therefore, you have nothing to fear.” For a while there was no sound. Wilbur was asleep. She could tell by the sound of his breathing that he was sleeping peacefully, deep in the straw.

In a small farm lived three close friends, Charlotte, a spider, Templeton, a mouse and Wilbur, a pig. When Wilbur was told that he was going to be killed and eaten at Christmas, he turned to Charlotte for help. Charlotte had the idea of writing words in her web to express Wilbur's excellence, reasoning that if she could make Wilbur famous, he would not be killed.
In the cool of the evening， when shadows（阴影） darkened the Fair Grounds， Templeton， the mouse, climbed out from his cave and looked around. Wilbur lay asleep in the farm. Charlotte was building a web. Templeton＇s keen nose detected（察觉） many fine smells in the air. He decided to go exploring. Without saying anything to anybody, he started off.
“Bring me back a word!” Charlotte called after him. “I shall be writing tonight for Wilbur's survival.” “Got it,” the mouse said, disappearing into the shadows.
After the heat of the day, the evening came as a welcome relief to all. Templeton kept out of sight. In the tall grass behind the cattle farm he found a folded newspaper. Inside it was remained food from somebody's lunch: a half sandwich, a piece of Swiss cheese, part of a hard-boiled egg. and the core of an apple. The mouse went in and ate everything. Then he tore a word out of the paper, rolled it up, and started back to the pig farm.
Charlotte had her web almost finished when Templeton returned, carrying the paper. She had left a space in the middle of the web. At this hour, no people were around the farm, so the mouse and the spider and the pig were by themselves. “I hope you brought a good word which would let Wilbur alive when Christmas comes,” Charlotte said. “Here,” said Templeton, showing the unrolling paper.

One possible version:
“What does it say ” asked Charlotte. “You have to spell the word for me” “L-U-C-K-Y,” replied the mouse. “'Lucky' means that Wilbur is a lucky pig. In other words, he will bring good fortune for the world.”“ You've been very helpful,” Charlotte said with satisfaction. The mouse smiled. “I'm going to make a night of it,” he said. “Bye, my lucky Wilbur! Fare you well, Charlotte! This will be a night to remember in a mouse's life.” He disappeared into the shadows. Few hours later, Charlotte had finished her web.
Wilbur said, “Charlotte, do you really think my master will not kill me with the help of the word ” “Of course,” said Charlotte. “You will be a famous pig who deserves to live longer. Tomorrow you will be well-known, and the whole world will hear about you. The master will be proud and feel fortunate to own such a lucky pig. Therefore, you have nothing to fear.” For a while there was no sound. Wilbur was asleep. She could tell by the sound of his breathing that he was sleeping peacefully, deep in the straw.
