Sometimes, kindness is a simple answer in a difficult and challenging world.
When my granddaughter, Skylar, was young, one day we went out and had a contest called “Who can make the most people smile”. And we continue it today.
When shopping, we were walking in the supermarket and noticed someone walking down the aisle with her head down. Skylar walked up to her and gave her a big smile. I watched her walk down the aisle, turned around and smiled at Skylar again or perhaps smiled at someone else.
Kindness is a chain that pulls us all together. Every single act of kindness has a ripple effect (连锁反应). In 2002, my dad had a series of strokes and other illness. My dad had been doing nice things for all sorts of people for years, from the street crossing guard, to the waitress in a restaurant, to a friend's mother. That same day, I made cookies for the janitor (门卫) at the post office. When I gave him the cookies he actually looked a little embarrassed. “Why, Linda ” he asked. “Because I appreciate you!” I answered. “When I get here at 6 am and it is still dark out and it is a little scary, I know you are inside and I feel safe. And when I first moved here and my post office box was always empty, you always cheered me on. And you always keep this place clean.”
That evening his wife called me and said that he was overwhelmed (受宠若惊的). “No one even knows his name, let alone bakes him cookies！” she said.

Omura won half of the prize for discovering a new drug, avermectin (除虫菌类), that has helped the battle against river blindness and lymphatic filariasis, (淋巴丝虫病) as well as showing effectiveness against other parasitic diseases.

Do you know how to prepare for and survive a major earthquake According to Department of Conservation scientists, it is important to have the right answer to that question.
How to Be Prepared
Electricity, water, gas (煤气) and telephones may not be working after an earthquake. The police and fire departments are likely to be tied up. You should be prepared to fend for yourself for at least three days, preferably for a week. You'll need food, water and so on. It's also a good idea to decide ahead of time how and where your family will reunite if separated during a quake. You might choose an out-of-the-area friend or relative that family members can call to check on you.
If you're indoors, stay there. Get under a desk or table. The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot. If you're in an office building, stay away from windows and outside walls and do not use the elevator. If you're outside, get into the open. Stay clear of buildings, power lines or anything else that could fall on you. If you're driving, move the car out of traffic and stop. Avoid parking under or on bridges or overpasses.
After an Earthquake
Check for fire. If you smell gas, shut off the main gas valve (阀). If there's sign of damage to electrical wiring, shut off the power at the control box. If the phone is working, only use it in case of emergency (紧急情况). Avoid driving if possible to keep the streets clear for emergency vehicles. Be careful that things may fall out of cupboards when the door is opened, and also that chimneys can be weakened and fall with just a touch. Listen to the radio for important information and instructions. Remember that aftershocks, sometimes large enough to cause damage in their own right, generally follow large quakes. If you leave home, leave a message telling your friends and family your location.

A. look for B. take care of
C. be proud of D. think of
解析：选B 词义猜测题。该词所在句子的前两句提到，地震以后，可能电、水、煤气和电话都会被切断，警察机关和消防部门可能受阻，所以在这种情况下，你应该做好准备，照顾 (take care of) 自己至少三天。
13. Which of the following would be the best subtitle for the third paragraph
A. Before an Earthquake
B. After Making Preparations
C. While Staying at Home
D. During an Earthquake
解析：选D 段落大意题。根据本段中的主要信息：躲在桌子下、厨房很危险、远离窗户和墙、不要使用电梯等可以推知这些情况都应该是在地震的过程中发生的，故D项为最佳小标题。
14. What should you do when an earthquake happens
A. You should stay away from the kitchen.
B. You should drive on a bridge.
C. You should turn off the power.
D. You should listen to the radio frequently.
解析：选A 细节理解题。根据第三段第二句“The kitchen is a particularly dangerous spot.”可知，地震发生时，厨房是个危险的地方，所以要避开。C、D两项是地震后应该做的事情；B项是不应该做的事。
15. According to the passage, why doesn't the author advise driving after an earthquake
A. Because it is dangerous to drive as there will be aftershocks.
B. Because your car will be easily damaged in the streets full of blocks.
C. Because you should make way for emergency vehicles.
D. Because you can't find a place to park your car.
解析：选C 细节理解题。由第四段第五句可知，作者建议地震后避免开车的意图是为救护车辆让路，故C项为正确答案。
Ⅱ.阅读七选五(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Climbing blindly
Mount Everest is the highest mountain in the world. 16 Asia is home to all five of the world's highest mountains. Mount Everest's peak (山峰) is five and one-half miles above sea level. That is very high!
Many climbers have tried to climb to the peak of Mount Everest. 17 Since then, about 900 people have survived the climb to Mount Everest's top.
One of the most successful climbers is Erik Weihenmayer. Like all who try to climb this huge mountain, Erik faced strong winds, snow, and avalanches (雪崩). 18 After losing his sight at age 13, Erik began climbing at age 16.He has climbed the tallest mountains on five continents. Erik became the first blind person to reach the peak of Mount Everest.
At the age of 32, Erik began his climb as part of a 19 member team. 19 By using them, fellow climbers could quickly warn him of such things as a big drop on the right or a big stone to the left.
20 He struggled through 100 m. p. h. winds and sliding masses of snow, ice, and rock. Because the air became thinner the higher Erik climbed, he wore an oxygen mask, as do many who climb high mountains. It took Erik about two and a half months to reach the top of this huge mountain.
A. This mountain is located in Asia.
B. During his climb, Erik faced many dangers.
C. Everest is believed to be more than 60 million years old.
D. His team wore bells that he could follow during his climb.
E. Erik used long climbing poles to feel his way on the mountain.
F. However, what really made Erik's climb unbelievable is the fact that he is blind.
G. The first people to reach the peak were Sir Edmund Hillary and Tenzing Norgay.

19. 选D 横线前句告诉我们他是跟随着一群队友一起登山的，横线后面一句介绍使用这一方法，他的队友可以提醒他在登山的过程中可能会遇到的危险。所以D项符合上下文串联。
20. 选B 根据后句“He struggled through 100 m. p. h. winds and sliding masses of snow, ice, and rock.”可知在他登山的过程中遇到了很大的困难和危险，对于盲人来说这更是危险。故B正确。

SAVE EARTH, SAVE US
With the development of modern society, pollution caused by human activities is becoming a more and more serious problem.
Smoke from factories and gases from vehicles are the main reasons for air pollution. Rivers are polluted when people throw waste into them, or when factories pour waste water into them. Modern lifestyle and modern ways of production also cause noise pollution. As a result, many species are dying out. More and more people are suffering from health problems. And the environment problem is increasingly serious.
Enough attention should be paid to this problem and measures should be taken. Firstly, we should make laws to prevent factories from pouring waste water into rivers and sending smoke into the air without being dealt with. Secondly, we should raise people's awareness of the serious problem and call on more people to protect the environment. Only by working together can we help the environment!
