Ⅰ.阅读理解
I am a taxi driver. One Monday morning, I had stopped at New York Hospital when I spied a_well dressed_man dashing down the steps. He was hailing (招手) me. I waited until he jumped into the cab.“LaGuardia Airport, please，” he said.
As always, I wondered about my passenger.“What do you do？”“I'm in the neurology department (神经内科) at this hospital.” For some unknown reason, I decided to ask for his help.
“Could I ask a favour of you？” He didn't answer.“I have a son, 16. He's doing well in school. He wants a job this summer. Is there any possibility that you might get him a summer job？” After a pause, he said，“The medical students have a research project. Maybe he could fit in. Have him send me his school records.” He searched his pocket and handed me a card.
That evening, I pulled the card from my pocket.“Robbie，” I announced proudly，“this could be a summer job for you. Send him your school records.” He read it out loud, “Fred Plum, New York Hospital.”“Is this a joke？” he said in disbelief. After I yelled and threatened to cut off his allowance, Robbie promised to send off his grades the next morning.
Two weeks later, when I arrived home, my son handed me a letter from Plum. He was to phone Plum's secretary for an interview.
Robbie got the job. The white coat he wore made him feel more important than he really was. As high school graduation neared, Plum was kind enough to write letters of recommendation for universities. To our delight, Robbie was admitted to New York Medical College.
It never occurred to me that a stranger should transform my son's future.

4．as 考查介词。as a guest“作为客人”。
5．an 考查冠词。此处表示一位80岁的农妇。因为80的发音以元音音素开头，所以用an。
6．settled 考查非谓语动词。此处是“get＋过去分词”结构，故填settled。
7．where 考查定语从句。a small town作先行词，所填词在从句中作地点状语，所以用where引导该定语从句。

参考范文：
Last Sunday, our class organized a meaningful voluntary activity — we had a visit to an orphanage and showed our love for orphans there.
As soon as we arrived, they gave us a warm welcome. We gave the children gifts such as books and pencil boxes. Then we patiently taught them to sing some children's songs. Before leaving, we took pictures with them. When it was time for us to leave, the children waved their hands and said they were grateful for our kindness.
We made the effort to bring sunshine to the children's life and the children's bright smiles confirmed that it was worthwhile to do such a job.
