阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D项中，选出最佳选项。
A
One of my favorite actions is doing good deeds. When other people receive my help, it makes me happy. However, some people look at you strangely when you want to do that. Once I asked a gas station operator if I could pay for the car behind me, but I got a blank (茫然的) stare. After a short explanation, he hesitantly (犹豫地) agreed, but then said it was too unbelievable when I pleasantly made this double payment.
So, it’s nice when people “get it”. It seems that people do me a favor too if they receive my favor. At a barbershop recently, after getting my haircut, I went to the counter to pay. My barber said, “That'll be twenty dollars please.”
I found that in my wallet I had exactly forty-two dollars. “Okay, tell me if you think this is crazy – I’d like to pay for someone else’s haircut as well.”
She hardly hesitated, “Yeah, you can do that.” Wow, it seemed that she was used to this. How cool! She opened her appointment book and asked, “Who do you want to pay for ”
“You pick.”
A pause. “...Oh you mean someone you don’t know ”
“Yeah, is that crazy What do you think ”
“No, that's great! ... I mean, sure, why not ”
She agreed to pick an upcoming appointment of hers. I told her I was sorry I only had two dollars left for her tip, but that I would come back later with more. “No, no, this is enough,” she said with a smile, as she quickly wrote down a note. It was as if this idea was so pleasantly natural that she was being introduced to something familiar.
I don’t know who got my help at last, which isn’t important. The process is often just as satisfying, if not more than the result.

When the Second World War ended last century, Europe’s leaders decided to work together to deal with their problems. They wanted to put an end to fighting. In this way, people could rebuild their lives and create new and better ways to support themselves and trade with each other.
One way to do this, the leaders thought, was to control how much coal and steel each country could receive. This was important because coal was needed to power the factories. The factories made all the things that people needed, including steel for machines, houses, roads and buildings. Coal and steel were also necessary when people produced war machines like guns and tanks. When the leaders made this decision, no nation could build these weapons (war machines) without other nations knowing about it.
The leaders also hoped that countries which depended on each other like this would have no reason to fight. Because their economies (经济) would be stronger and people would have good jobs and food without wars. Over 50 years have passed and Europe's wars are what you read in your history books.
The EU (European Union) has come a long way. There are now 28 member states in the European Union. It’s a little bit like a school class. As in a good community, the stronger ones help the weaker ones. And as in a class where some children like maths and others prefer music, some EU countries have interests that are different from others. To live together peacefully, everybody must accept everyone else as they are. Each country lives according to its own traditions, language and culture.
( ) 31. Before the Second World War, the European countries_________.

D. were not in great need of coal and steal
( ) 32. According to the passage, what are more important European development

读写任务 (One possible version)
The writer told us that we often have mixed feelings in daily experiences, and gave examples to explain that joy is always mixed with sadness and anger is always mixed with fear and shame.
　I have the same feelings as the writer. I have struggled in daily experiences. But I suppose being angry or frightened easily is harmful to both ourselves and others.
　I have kept one experience fresh in mind. One year ago, our English teacher organized a group study. We were divided into ten groups, each of which was required to give presentation. In my group, I was always asked to make most of the PPT. I began getting angry after a short joy because I thought it unfair. Later, my group was scolded sometimes for my just so-so PPT. I also was looked down on and became ill for a week.
　It’s the best way to treat everyone and everything with a peaceful and positive attitude. Exactly, we should be kind to others, but serious and strict about our work.
完形填空
有些人嘴上说自己能做的小事自己做，但老是叫别人帮忙。作者的叔叔就是这样的人。
1. C。根据下文...or ask many people to help...可知，前面的意思是“叫别人到家里来帮忙”，因此填call。
2. A。根据前面的...ask many people to help...即“叫很多人帮忙”可知，后面相对的是“自己一个人能把工作做好”。整句意为“当自己一个人能够把工作做好的时候，为什么要叫别人到家里或叫很多人帮忙呢？”，故选A。
3. B。根据句意“我不需要叫人来做这件事。我马上(immediately)就可以把画挂到墙上。”可知，B项最为恰当，其他各项均不符合语境。
4. D。根据上下文，挂画到墙上需要钉子(nails)，故选D。
5. A。根据句意“叫一个男孩去告诉她买多大的钉子”，所以选A。size意为“尺寸，大小”。
6. B。根据句意“去拿(get)锤子给我”，可知选B。give意为“给”；hand意为“传递”；take指“拿走”。
7. A。根据下文的Tom handed him the picture.可知，前面他是叫Tom把画递给他，故选A。
8. C。根据理解，句意应为“当所有的东西都准备好(ready)的时候”，all指“所有的事情”，故选C。
9. D。根据上文...he cut himself...he ran round the room...即他手割伤了，在房间到处跑，是为了找手帕来止血，故选D。look for意为“寻找”。
10. A。根据下文Now everybody started looking for his coat.可知填coat，故选A。
11. C。根据文章情节，当时他是大声叫喊“全家人就没有一个人知道我的外套在哪里吗？”，故用shout“高声叫喊”最合适。argue意为“争论，辩论”；answer意为“回答”；smile意为“微笑”，均不符合语境。
12. D。该句应理解为“全家人就没有一个人知道我的外套在哪里吗？”，强调的不是房子的“大小或新旧”，而是说“全家人”，因此填whole“全部的，所有的”最符合语意语境。
13. A。根据理解，句子意思为“Uncle Podger又开始工作(work)了”，故选A。
14. C。根据上文，每个人都给Uncle Podger帮忙，所以每个人都很累(tired)，除了Uncle Podger，故选C。
15. B。special在此意为“专门的”，句子的意思为“为什么别人要叫一个专业的人来做这样的一点小事情呢？”，故选B。
语法填空
　　刚到学校的第一天，作者身边没有一个认识的人，感到很孤独。在吃饭的时候，她认识了一个女孩子，后来她们成为了好朋友。友谊对一个人来说很重要。
16. nobody。 考查不定代词。从句子成分判断， knew后面缺宾语；又根据I went everywhere alone可知，作者一个人都不认识，故此处填nobody。
17. If。考查连词。此处为if引导的条件状语从句，意为：如果我能交一个新朋友的话，我将非常开心。
18. rang。考查动词时态。分析句子成分可知，此处ring在句中作谓语，时态应用过去时，因此填rang。
19. a。考查冠词。table为可数名词，前面少了一个冠词或指定词，由于上文没有提到，故要填不定冠词a。
20. happily。考查词性转化。修饰动词必须用副词，故应用happy的副词形式happily。
21. best。考查形容词最高级。根据句意“我们现在在学校是最好的朋友”可知，要填best。
22. reading。考查非谓语动词。分析句子成分可知，此处的动词应用现在分词形式，起补充说明作用，并和前面的doing形式一致，故填reading。
23. who。考查关系代词。该句是一个定语从句，先行词someone，指人，在从句中充当主语，所以用关系代词who。
24. through。考查介词。根据语境可知，该处句意为“真正的朋友帮你度过艰难的、不开心的日子”，故用through。get through意为“度过（不愉快的经历），熬过（困难时期）”。
25. without。考查介词。该句的意思是“一个人没有朋友就像天使没有翅膀”。介词without表示“没有”。
