Ⅰ.阅读理解
First published in 2001, the book Life of Pi written by Canadian author Yann Martel won the Man Booker Prize and an Asian American Prize for Literature. It is the story of a young boy named Pi who spends 227 days at sea with a small group of animals after disaster strikes their ship and is an account of his journey of survival and hardship.
Piscine“Pi”Molitor Patel, on whom Life of Pi is based, is a young boy living in Pondicherry, India, where his father owns a zoo. The story starts when Patel's family decide to move to Canada, along with their zoo animals for their new home.
However, because of the bad weather, the ship sinks. Pi along with an orangutan (猩猩), an injured zebra, a hyena (鬣狗) and a Bengal tiger named Richard Parker are the only survivors who take shelter in a small lifeboat.Both the injured zebra and the orangutan are soon killed and eaten by the hyena.The tiger in turn kills and eats the hyena, leaving just the two of them alone on the boat now.
In an effort to avoid being eaten by Richard Parker, Pi acts himself as the head of the group and remains safe from harm.Since he does not want the tiger to die for fear of going mad by being alone on the boat, he fishes and feeds the two of them in order to stay alive.
The life of Pi then enters its third stage when their lifeboat washes up on the shores of Mexico and the tiger escapes into a nearby forest leaving Pi alone. After the Mexicans refuse to believe Pi's story, he changes his tale by replacing the animals with his mother, a cook and a sailor and asks the Mexicans which one they prefer. They prefer hearing the first story though they do not believe a word of it.
In my view, Life of Pi is a must read book for all those who love reading.

Ways to keep phone calls short
The phone rings. It's a friend who wants to tell you about his or her latest health problem. You hate to be impolite and cut your friend off, but what can you do Stephanie Winston offers the advice.
Don't ask questions like “What's new？” They give others the feeling that you have time to talk. 1
Set a time limit (限度). Start with, “Hi, I've only got a few minutes, but I wantedtotalktoyouabout ...” Or, “Gee, I'd love to talk more, but I only have a couple of minutes before I have to do my homework.”
Jump on a pause (暂停). 2 Quickly say, “It has been great talking with you.” Then end the conversation.
Forget politeness. Some people just don't take a hint (领会暗示). No matter what your caller is talking, stop him and say, “I'd like to talk to you longer, but I really have to go. Goodbye.” 3 Don't ask for permission (许可) to end the conversation.
4 If you make a call right before lunch or dinner, or at the end of the workday, people talk less.

The 1 (express) “keeping up with the Joneses” was first used in 1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand.He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23, 2 was a lot of money in those days.He and his wife moved to a very 3 (wealth) neighborhood outside New York City.When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went 4 (ride) every day.When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand also hired a servant and gave big 5 (party) for their new neighbors.
It was like a race, 6 the race ended when they could no longer pay for their new way of life.They moved back to 7 apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people did all they could 8 (keep) up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors.He called it “keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States.He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories.The stories 9 (sell) well and gradually “keeping up with the Joneses” became an idiom 10 (common) used by many people.

6．but 句意：这就像是一场赛跑，但是这场赛跑最终以Momand 夫妇不再能够负担起这种新生活方式而结束。本空前后两句为转折关系。
7．an 这里泛指纽约市的一家公寓。
8．to keep 此处为动词不定式作目的状语。
9．sold 这里是描述过去的事，用一般过去时。sell well意思是“畅销”，无被动语态。

上周日，你所在的志愿者小组到汽车站进行了一次服务活动。请你根据以下要点提示写一篇短文。

3．虽然很累，但是我们感到很开心。
注意：1.词数80左右；
2．可适当增加细节，以使行文连贯。
参考范文：
Last Sunday, our volunteer group took part in a voluntary activity at the bus station.
On arriving there, we were given a warm welcome. Some students helped clean the waiting room; some students offered the information that passengers needed; some students helped passengers carry their luggage. We all did what we could to help those in need of help. Although we were tired, we felt happy and proud when we saw the smiles on passengers' faces.
This experience made us become aware of the importance of helping others. In future, we'll try our best to do more voluntary work.

参考范文：
Last Sunday, our volunteer group took part in a voluntary activity at the bus station.
On arriving there, we were given a warm welcome. Some students helped clean the waiting room; some students offered the information that passengers needed; some students helped passengers carry their luggage. We all did what we could to help those in need of help. Although we were tired, we felt happy and proud when we saw the smiles on passengers' faces.
This experience made us become aware of the importance of helping others. In future, we'll try our best to do more voluntary work.
