As I walked around a corner in the 18 , I saw a Christmas tree full of paper angels (天使). On each angel was the name of a 19 child whose family couldn’t afford to buy him or her a 20 that year.

第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
A
The food left in the fridge smelled a little strange, but you went ahead to eat them without heating them up. A couple of hours later, you started to feel sick. Bacteria probably grew in the food in the fridge and these bacteria made you sick.
Sometimes feeling sick from food poisoning (食物中毒) shows up within hours of eating the bad food. At other times, someone may not feel sick until several days later. With mild cases of food poisoning, you will not feel sick for very long and will soon be feeling fine again. It can be hard to tell if you have food poisoning or something else. You might do a little detective work and see who else gets the same sickness. If only people who ate that food got sick, food poisoning could be the problem.
If you go to the doctor, he or she will ask you a lot of questions about how you’re feeling, when you first felt sick, what you ate in the past few days, and if anyone else you know is also sick. The type of treatment you’ll get for food poisoning will depend on the specific germ (病菌) that is making you sick. The doctor might give you medicine, but most of the time someone who has food poisoning doesn’t need to take medicine.
Many things can be done to prevent food poisoning. These precautions (预防措施) should be taken at every stage when foods are processed—from preparation to cooking to storing. One of the best ways is to wash your hands if you’re helping your parents prepare foods.
36. According to the text, you get food poisoning after you eat food .
A. without heating it B. that contains poison
C. that has gone bad D. without cooking it
37. How do you know whether you get food poisoning after eating with your family?
A. Find out if the food is fresh enough.
B. Find out if your family members feel sick too.
C. Make it clear whether there are bacteria in your food.
D. Ask the doctor to examine you carefully.
38. The text is written for .

The first official recording of the blues (蓝调音乐) in America was in 1895. The blues music reflected the new life status of African Americans, starting with slaves who sang about their newly acquired freedom. The teachings of Booker T. Washington and Horatio Alger opened the eyes of black Americans to focus on the individual (个体), which influenced the personalized form of music that came to be known as the blues.
The blues started to become widely popular in 1920. Mamie Smith’s recordings of songs such as “It’s right here for you” and “Crazy blues” opened the musical doors to other blues singers. The record of those two songs cost $1 and it sold 75,000 copies during its first month. From then on, the market for blues records began to boom (迅速发展). Fans of blues music were almost entirely black for the next couple of decades, and record companies advertised almost entirely to blacks. After Smith’s success, record companies sought out new talented blues singers and artists such as Bessie Smith, Alberta Hunter, and Ethel Waters who became popular.
The popularity of the blues spread even wider through the early 20th century, from New Orleans to Texas, Louisiana and Arkansas. Country singers joined the trend and brought their styles to the blues in Chicago, Detroit, and New York, where classic blues singers from all around the country united to introduce the blues into clubs, theaters, and dance halls. From blues music have come many great artists, such as Muddy Waters, John Lee Hooker, Buddy Guy, Bessie Smith, and others. And although the blues is a classic style music, it can be relatively easy for anyone to write and sing a soulful blues song.
39. From the passage, we can conclude that the blues music .
A. only belonged to the black Americans
B. gained great popularity when it came into being
C. was once a mirror of the black Americans’ life
D. has the largest singers and fans today as it develops
40. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Mamie Smith was the best singer of the blues.
B. It is hard for common people to write and sing the blues.
C. There are more white fans of the blues than the black ones now.
D. Many more blues singers succeeded after Mamie Smith.
41. According to the passage, blues music today is .
A. more or less different from the classic blues
B. in fact a kind of country music
C. influenced only by country music
D. the easiest music to write and sing
42. The passage mainly tells us .
A. what is the blues B. the development of the blues
C. why the blues came into being D. how the blues became popular
C
Box jellyfish (箱型水母), also known as sea wasps，are best known as the most deadly (致命的) creatures in the world, whether on land or in water. Creatures are rated for their deadliness by taking into account two factors: How many people an ounce of the creature’s venom (毒液) can kill；How long it takes you to die from the venom after you are bitten, stung, or stuck.
In both respects, the deadliness of the sea wasp far outpaces that of any other creatures known to man. An ounce of sea wasp venom can kill as many as 60 adult humans and it can cause human death in less than 3 minutes. This means that if you were stung by the jellyfish while you were swimming, surfing or diving a little further away from the coastline, you may not even be able to reach the shoreline in time to get medical attention. Only one survival after a sting from the box jellyfish has been recorded and that was Ian McCormick, a New Zealander who survived not one but five stings by the box jellyfish on his arm. However, he has attributed this miracle to God’s kindness and there seems to be no other scientific explanation for it.
Box jellyfish are normally found in waters surrounding Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and the Philippines. In Australia, the box jellyfish season usually lasts from October to April every year. In Hawaii, however, there does not seem to be any indication of a box jellyfish season and they are usually sighted throughout the year, usually 8 to 10 days after the full moon night. Box jellyfish are mostly found in shallow waters and prefer staying near the intersections (交叉处) of the ocean and rivers, if there are any.
43.Which of the following is NOT true about a box jellyfish?
A. As many as 60 people are killed by box jellyfish each year.
B. Its venom may cost one life in less than 3 minutes.
C. It can be regarded as the most dangerous creature.
D. Almost no one can survive once stung by it.
44. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. play much better than B. be greater in number than
C. last longer than D. be greater in degree than
45. Why is Ian McCormick mentioned in the passage?
A. To prove the deadliness of the sea wasp is anything but a lie.
B. To show that the deadliness of the sea wasp is not that serious.
C. To make us believe that Ian McCormick believes in God.
D. To tell us it is hard to explain why box jellyfish are so deadly.
46.When will you probably see box jellyfish in Australia?
A. December. B. June.
C. Throughout the year. D. 8 to 10 days after the full moon night.
D
One day I saw a man sitting outside my coffee house. I said, “How are you doing today?” He seemed shocked that I was talking to him. “Not very well,” he replied. Then he told me he had been hit by a car while riding his bike. During the time he was in hospital, the person that paid his bill died and his wallet was stolen with all his IDs. He had several checks waiting for him but had no ID and therefore no access to his money.
I decided to help him get a copy of his birth certificate (出生证明) and social security card. I asked him to meet me at the Department of Vital Statistics at 11:00 on Monday.
When I arrived at 10:50 the next morning, I didn’t see him. I explained to the clerk, “I’m trying to help a homeless friend get his ID back.” “Bob?” she asked. “Yes, Bob,” I was surprised that she knew him. She said, “He came just now, but left hopelessly.” I paid the fee and walked out with Bob’s birth certificate.
As I was driving home I saw Bob. I pulled over and shouted, “Bob, I got it.” He saw me, tears in his eyes and told me I was his angel.
A few days later I let him meet me at the Social Security Office. It took me an hour to get there by car and I was certain he wouldn’t be waiting for me. It would be at least two hours by bike. But there he was sitting on the sidewalk waiting for me. We stayed there for two hours and got everything solved. By next week, he would receive his money.
In fact, one person can make a difference in this world. And the interesting thing is that I am getting as much as, if not more, from this experience, than Bob. I am deeply touched by Bob’s sensitivity, his gratitude and his heart.
47. Why did the homeless man need his ID?
A. To get his money. B. To be given timely treatment.
C. To prove who he was. D. To earn much more money.
48. At the Department of Vital Statistics, Bob didn’t wait for the author because .
A. he was refused by the clerk
B. he forgot to take some money with him
C. he had a lot of things to do
D. he thought the author would not help him
49. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means .
A. the author was touched by Bob’s sincere heart
B. Bob got many more things at last than the author
C. the author learned much from his helping Bob
D. Bob appreciated what the author did for him a lot
50. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Helping others means helping yourself
B. Getting pleasure from helping the homeless
C. Making a difference in others’ lives
D. Having confidence in yourself to help others

When you are a teenager, you often have a limited amount of money available for you to use. 51 Some of the steps given below will help you in managing your money.
Start Budgeting
You may get the same amount of pocket money every week or month. So plan your expenses in advance. Your budget should include major expenses like cell phone plans, restaurant bills, etc. 52 They are bound to happen in your life.
Monitor Your Purchases
Planning your budget is not very tough. 53 It can happen that several small unnecessary purchases in a day may sum up to a really big figure. In order to avoid this, write down the things you bought and their price in a notebook every day.
Save For Expensive Purchases
When you come across an expensive item, like a cell phone that you wish to buy but you do not have the money, you feel disappointed. 54 Start saving some money every week. Stop all kinds of unreasonable spending for a few weeks. Eventually, you will be surprised to find out that you can actually afford to buy the thing which once you felt was out of reach.
Do Not Use Credit Cards
You may feel it is very convenient to buy things using credit cards, just because you do not have to use cash on the spot. 55 It happens because the interest rates charged by credit cards are very high. So you’d better use cash payments in order to save a good amount of money.
A. Do not lose heart.
B. That is the first step in managing your debt.
C. But sticking to the budget is not an easy task.
D. Instead of buying books, join a library or start a club.
E. So it is very important that you spend that money properly.
F. Besides, you need to set aside some money for many minor expenses.
G. Later, you will realize that you have paid more than you wanted to.

However, he has attributed this miracle to God’s kindness and there seems to be no other scientific explanation for it.
Box jellyfish are normally found in waters surrounding Australia, New Zealand, Hawaii and the Philippines. In Australia, the box jellyfish season usually lasts from October to April every year. In Hawaii, however, there does not seem to be any indication of a box jellyfish season and they are usually sighted throughout the year, usually 8 to 10 days after the full moon night. Box jellyfish are mostly found in shallow waters and prefer staying near the intersections (交叉处) of the ocean and rivers, if there are any.
43.Which of the following is NOT true about a box jellyfish?
A. As many as 60 people are killed by box jellyfish each year.
B. Its venom may cost one life in less than 3 minutes.
C. It can be regarded as the most dangerous creature.
D. Almost no one can survive once stung by it.
44. The underlined word in the second paragraph probably means “ ”.
A. play much better than B. be greater in number than
C. last longer than D. be greater in degree than
45. Why is Ian McCormick mentioned in the passage?
A. To prove the deadliness of the sea wasp is anything but a lie.
B. To show that the deadliness of the sea wasp is not that serious.
C. To make us believe that Ian McCormick believes in God.
D. To tell us it is hard to explain why box jellyfish are so deadly.
46.When will you probably see box jellyfish in Australia?
A. December. B. June.
C. Throughout the year. D. 8 to 10 days after the full moon night.

One day I saw a man sitting outside my coffee house. I said, “How are you doing today?” He seemed shocked that I was talking to him. “Not very well,” he replied. Then he told me he had been hit by a car while riding his bike. During the time he was in hospital, the person that paid his bill died and his wallet was stolen with all his IDs. He had several checks waiting for him but had no ID and therefore no access to his money.
I decided to help him get a copy of his birth certificate (出生证明) and social security card. I asked him to meet me at the Department of Vital Statistics at 11:00 on Monday.
When I arrived at 10:50 the next morning, I didn’t see him. I explained to the clerk, “I’m trying to help a homeless friend get his ID back.” “Bob?” she asked. “Yes, Bob,” I was surprised that she knew him. She said, “He came just now, but left hopelessly.” I paid the fee and walked out with Bob’s birth certificate.
As I was driving home I saw Bob. I pulled over and shouted, “Bob, I got it.” He saw me, tears in his eyes and told me I was his angel.
A few days later I let him meet me at the Social Security Office. It took me an hour to get there by car and I was certain he wouldn’t be waiting for me. It would be at least two hours by bike. But there he was sitting on the sidewalk waiting for me. We stayed there for two hours and got everything solved. By next week, he would receive his money.
In fact, one person can make a difference in this world. And the interesting thing is that I am getting as much as, if not more, from this experience, than Bob. I am deeply touched by Bob’s sensitivity, his gratitude and his heart.
47. Why did the homeless man need his ID?
A. To get his money. B. To be given timely treatment.
C. To prove who he was. D. To earn much more money.
48. At the Department of Vital Statistics, Bob didn’t wait for the author because .
A. he was refused by the clerk
B. he forgot to take some money with him
C. he had a lot of things to do
D. he thought the author would not help him
49. The underlined sentence in the last paragraph probably means .
A. the author was touched by Bob’s sincere heart
B. Bob got many more things at last than the author
C. the author learned much from his helping Bob
D. Bob appreciated what the author did for him a lot
50. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Helping others means helping yourself
B. Getting pleasure from helping the homeless
C. Making a difference in others’ lives
D. Having confidence in yourself to help others

When you are a teenager, you often have a limited amount of money available for you to use. 51 Some of the steps given below will help you in managing your money.
Start Budgeting
You may get the same amount of pocket money every week or month. So plan your expenses in advance. Your budget should include major expenses like cell phone plans, restaurant bills, etc. 52 They are bound to happen in your life.
Monitor Your Purchases
Planning your budget is not very tough. 53 It can happen that several small unnecessary purchases in a day may sum up to a really big figure. In order to avoid this, write down the things you bought and their price in a notebook every day.
Save For Expensive Purchases
When you come across an expensive item, like a cell phone that you wish to buy but you do not have the money, you feel disappointed. 54 Start saving some money every week. Stop all kinds of unreasonable spending for a few weeks. Eventually, you will be surprised to find out that you can actually afford to buy the thing which once you felt was out of reach.
Do Not Use Credit Cards
You may feel it is very convenient to buy things using credit cards, just because you do not have to use cash on the spot. 55 It happens because the interest rates charged by credit cards are very high. So you’d better use cash payments in order to save a good amount of money.
A. Do not lose heart.
B. That is the first step in managing your debt.
C. But sticking to the budget is not an easy task.
D. Instead of buying books, join a library or start a club.

One possible version:
Xiao Ming is a warm-hearted boy who always lends a helping hand to those in need. As the picture shows, Xiao Ming is holding an umbrella for a blind man who is walking in the rain. What Xiao Ming does makes the blind man feel as if it were a sunny day.
Actually Xiao Ming is always ready to help others in his daily life. He has set a good example of what a high school student should be. We all should follow Xiao Ming’s example and start helping those in need from now on. In this way we can live in harmony with each other.
