Ⅳ.阅读理解
Some people usually say that the joy of giving is the joy of living.Tony March’s story shows how someone who has enthusiasm for philanthropy(乐善好施) can live joyously by doing what he loves:Helping the less fortunate to achieve lives of self-sufficiency and dignity.Tony March is a man who rose from great poorness to extreme wealth,while,at the same time,generously giving his wealth and his time to improve the situation of those who struggled to survive in the world in which he was raised.
At a time when human kindness and sympathy seem to be on the endangered behavior list,it is exhilarating to learn of a man like Tony and be reminded that caring individuals still exist,that the human spirit,firmly focused,can achieve wonders,and that one person’s desire to improve the human condition can have such a strong influence on improving the quality of life for tens of thousands of people.
Tony grew up without a father and was regularly beaten by an unloving mother,moving 17 times before he turned 10.He was always laughed at and had to help feed his family by working at a grocery store.Through all the mental and physical abuse,Tony didn’t give up and used education to break the poorness cycle and became the owner of 21 auto dealerships.“It is education that brings success to me,” he said.
When the Director of Metropolitan Ministries(a homeless shelter) found out about Tony,he suggested that Mr March “go public” with his story so that others,inspired by what he had done,would be more willing to give their talent,time and money to help the less fortunate as well.It was a persuasive argument that Tony finally accepted.His book,Paying It Backward,will be published soon.
Paying It Backward reminds us that one can live joyously by giving joyously and we all can do a part to help the less fortunate by giving our time,talent,and money for charitable causes.
1.What does the underlined word “exhilarating”mean

A.Tony March’s parents loved him very much
B.education influenced Tony March very much
C.Tony March lived in the shelters until he was 10
D.Tony March’s mother forced him to work in a grocery store
3.Why did Tony agree to write a book about himself
A.He wanted to make himself known to everyone.
B.He wanted to sell his book to earn money.
C.He wanted more people to do good deeds.
D.He wanted more people to read more books.
4.What could be the best title for the passage

C.Living Joyfully Can Make a Big Difference

Ⅶ.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。
As we get older there are certain gifts standing out in our memories for a variety of reasons.
One gift I was given and treasured most was a doll named Patsy.She wasn’t originally mine but was my younger sister’s Christmas gift,but on holding Patsy I immediately fell in love with her and couldn’t bear to part with her.Luckily,my sister was quite happy to exchange dolls.From then on Patsy was my baby and I continued to love her dearly and would have died for her.
Another gift I offered my Mom has been shining in my mind.On a Saturday,I was on my way to the local cinema when I happened to glimpse at the window of the gift shop at the corner of our street.There were lovely gloves,pretty flowered handkerchiefs,and rose patterned teacups and saucers,all in pretty boxes.Seeing all these lovely gifts reminded me that it would soon be Mother’s Day and my mother’s birthday.Wouldn’t it be nice,I thought,if I could give my mother something really special,something I’d bought myself So I stepped inside the shop and admired a dressing table set,which was a green cut glass with an ornamental tray(装饰托盘) and several matching pieces.I was sure my mother would love it.
The lady must have seen my disappointment when she told me the price.But she had a suggestion which immediately lifted my spirits.She pulled out a large notebook and wrote my name in it and the gift I wanted to buy,and in return I paid her a penny from my pocket money.It meant no sweets that day but I didn’t care.At the age of nine,I’d made my very first lay-by(分期付款)...and felt like a grown up.From then on,every Saturday I dropped in at the shop on schedule and paid a penny,which the lady dutifully recorded in her notebook.
注意:续写词数应为150左右。
The day before Mother’s Day I paid the last two pence.

Too excited to wait till Sunday,I excitedly presented the gift to my mother.

Ⅳ.【语篇解读】这是一篇夹叙夹议文。作者用乐善好施的托尼·马奇的故事告诉我们给予的快乐就是生活的快乐,一个人做好事能带动许多人做好事,而改变一个社会。
1.D　词义猜测题。根据画线词上文“At a time when human kindness and sympathy seem to be on the endangered behavior list”及下文“a man like Tony...can achieve wonders”可知,当人类的善良和同情似乎被列入濒危行为清单的时候,托尼却用实际行动提醒着我们,有爱心的人仍然存在。人类精神,只要坚定地专注,就能创造奇迹。这自然是“令人振奋的”事情,故画线词和“Exciting”意思接近。故选D项。
2.B　细节理解题。根据第三段中“Through all the mental and physical abuse...‘It is education that brings success to me,’ he said.”可知,教育对托尼的影响很大。故选B项。
3.C　细节理解题。根据第四段中“When the Director of Metropolitan Ministries...It was a persuasive argument that Tony finally accepted.”可知,托尼最终同意写一本关于他的书是因为他想鼓励更多的人做好事。故选C项。
4.B　主旨大意题。文章开篇点题,根据第一段中“Some people usually say that the joy of giving is the joy of living.”可知,有些人常说给予的快乐就是生活的快乐;下文用托尼的具体事例表明帮助别人能够使得更多的人快乐地生活;最后一段进行总结:One can live joyously by giving joyously.故选B项。
Ⅴ.【语篇解读】这是一篇说明文。介绍了韩国一家公司推出新型纯天然的“大米吸管”。
1.an　考查冠词。此处泛指一个可食用的杯子,应该用不定冠词,且eatable以元音音素开头,故填an。
2.which　考查非限制性定语从句。此空引导非限制性定语从句,先行词是他的公司Yeonjigonji,是物,且从句缺主语,故填which。
3.made　考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知,定语从句中已有谓语动词,此空应用非谓语动词;且吸管straws是“由大米制成”,straws和make之间是被动关系,应用过去分词,故填made。
4.because　考查连词。此处需用连词连接空格前后两句话,根据句意,两句话之间是因果关系,故填because。
5.completely　考查副词。此空用副词修饰动词短语break down,故填completely。
6.were convinced　考查时态和语态。they和convince之间是被动关系;结合从句中did,此处应用一般过去时态,且主语是复数,故填were convinced。
7.has signed　考查时态。根据时间状语So far可知,此处用现在完成时态,主语是单数,故填has signed。
8.better　考查形容词比较级。根据空格后than可知,此空用比较级,故填better。
9.to produce　考查非谓语动词。此句已有谓语动词,此空用非谓语动词,且此处是表示目的,用动词不定式,故填to produce。
10.knives　考查名词复数。此空和复数名词forks以及spoons并列,且knife是可数名词,此处也用复数名词,故填knives。
Ⅵ.Dear fellows,
With the approaching of World Ocean Day,we would like to call on everyone to protect marine animals.
Each year,millions of marine animals die from hunting and environmental pollution.Therefore,effective measures should be adopted before things get worse.Firstly,it is necessary to avoid purchasing products made from any endangered marine animals.Besides,please don’t throw rubbish into the ocean which will pollute marine animals’ living conditions.
It is time that we joined our hands to preserve marine animals and create a harmonious home for them.

Ⅶ.　　The day before Mother’s Day I paid the last two pence.As the lady wrapped the gift in brown paper and tied it with string,I attentively signed the notebook to say I had completed my lay-by.I thanked her and excitedly left the shop.“ Be careful not to drop it,” she called after me.Securely,the gift tucked under my arm,I skipped the short distance home.
Too excited to wait till Sunday,I excitedly presented the gift to my mother.I placed the parcel on my mother’s lap and I stood by her side,hopping from one foot to the other,as she painstakingly untied every single knot in the string and slowly peeled away the brown paper as if she were unfolding butterfly wings,to reveal the box.My heart was racing.Then,as I bit into my bottom lip,she carefully began to lift the lid.“Do you like it,do you like it ” I asked excitedly,“Yes,I love it so much and I’ll keep it with me,” said my mother.She was delighted,smiling sweetly.The special gift survived many house moves,and it was still sitting on my mother’s dressing table.
