第一节 (共15小题; 每小题2分, 满分30分)
A
One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry. He decided he would ask for a meal at the next house. However, he lost his nerve (勇气) when a lovely young woman opened the door. Instead of a meal he asked for a drink of water. She thought he looked hungry, so she brought him a large glass of milk. He drank it slowly, and then asked, “How much do I have to pay?” “You don’t pay me anything,” she replied. “Mother has taught us never to accept pay for a kindness,” she said.
As Howard Kelly left that house, he not only felt stronger physically, but his faith in God and man was strong also. He had been ready to give up.
Years later that young woman became seriously ill and was sent to the big city where specialists were called in. When Dr. Howard Kelly heard the name of the town she came from, a strange light filled his eyes. Immediately he rose and went down the hall of the hospital to her room. He recognized her at once. He determined to do his best to save her life.
After a long struggle, the operation was successful. When the bill was sent to the young woman, she feared to open it, for she was sure it would take the rest of her life to pay for it all. Suddenly, something caught her attention on the side of the bill. She began to read the words: paid in full with one glass of milk. Signed, Dr. Howard Kelly.

It was a day before I started school again after having the world’s best summer. I was scared standing at that bus stop, for I knew that after I set foot on that bus, my freedom would be gone for a long time. I never had friends at school because of my colored clothes I always wore. My parents always said that if you want to have friends, you have to be a friend. I did that, but it didn’t work.
I sat in the cold air, my nose feeling more like a snowflake (雪花). Then, the bus slowly pulled up. The door opened, and I saw many eyes staring at me. I walked to the back of the bus. As I passed the other kids, they would laugh. The bus trip seemed to take forever before we reached the school. When we arrived, I walked to my classroom and sat at the desk in the very back of the classroom. It wasn’t that I disliked school, but I wasn’t a big fan of the kids at school. I enjoyed listening to the teacher talk, but I didn’t like it when the bell rang for lunch. I hid in the crowd of kids, and walked to an empty table. I opened my lunch bag, and began to eat uncomfortably. A girl with long red hair came over to my table and sat down. I got scared, but she had a friendly smile on her face.
“What’s your name?” she asked.
“Rachael,” I whispered.
“I am Monica,” she said. She kept talking to me, and I talked to her a little bit.
“No one likes me,” I said after a while of dead silence.
“I do,” she replied. “I learned that after a while of being lonely you have to be friends with people that look lonely too. Then, no one will ever be lonely in this world,” she said. Ever since those words have been said to me, I have lots of true friends.

There was once a boy who liked nothing more in the world than to win. He loved winning at whatever it might be: football, cards, video games... And because he couldn’t stand losing, he had become an expert in all kinds of tricks. He could play tricks in every situation without being noticed, even in video games or playing alone. He could win without ever being caught.
He won so many times that everyone saw him as the champion. It meant that almost no one wanted to play with him. One person who did play with him was a poor boy. He was a bit younger. The champion really enjoyed himself by making the boy look foolish.
But the champion ended up getting bored. He needed something more, so he decided to apply for the national video games championship, where he would find some competitors worthy of himself. At the championship he was eager to show his skills, but when he tried using all those tricks he knew from a thousand different games, none of them worked. The judges had prevented (阻止) any of the tricks from working.
He felt embarrassed: he was a good player, but without his tricks, he couldn’t beat a single competitor. Finally, the judges announced the name of the champion. It was the poor boy whom he had always beaten!
The boy realized that the poor boy had been cleverer than him. It hadn’t mattered to the poor boy if he lost or got a good beating, because what he was really doing was learning from each of his defeats. And from so much learning he had become a real master.
8. Why could the boy manage to win at everything?
A. Because he was good at playing tricks.
B. Because he knew every situation well.
C. Because he was cleverer than others.
D. Because he had better skills than others.
9. At the championship, .
A. the judges praised the boy for his skills

C. the boy was quite proud of his excellent skills
D. the boy defeated all the other competitors easily
10. How did the boy find the result of the championship?
A. Reasonable. B. Surprising.
C. Unfair. D. Encouraging.
11. What can we learn from the experience of the poor boy?
A. Pride goes before a fall. B. A good beginning is half done.
C. Failure is the mother of success.
D. Never judge a book by its cover.
D
Here’s something to think about the next time you ask your teacher for help: do schoolwork on your own can help you learn. According to a recent study, the more you struggle (努力) while you are learning new information, the better you can remember it later.
It might surprise you. When teachers are presenting new information, they often give students lots of help. But a new study shows this may not be the best way to support learning. “Don’t be too quick to get help when learning something new,” education expert Manu Kapur said. “Try to work on it yourself even if it means trying different ways.”
Kapur came up with the idea that struggling can lead to better learning. Then he tested it out on students in Singapore. He separated students into two groups. In the first group, students were asked to solve math problems with the teacher’s help. In the second group, students were asked to solve the same problems by helping one another instead of getting help from the teacher.
With the teacher’s help, students in the first group were able to find the correct answers. Students in the second group did not solve the problems correctly, but they did come up with a lot of good ideas.
The students were then tested on what they had learned. The group without any help from a teacher scored much higher than the group who had help. Kapur said working to find the answers helped students understand the process (过程), not just the solution.
Kapur’s advice for kids is to put a lot of effort into learning something new rather than going to your teacher for help. “Simply doing a little work or nothing at all won’t work,” says Kapur. “The struggle needs to be a real attempt to figure out (想出) or solve a problem in as many ways as possible.”
12. Which of the following is the best way to learn according to the passage?
A. Figure something out on your own.
B. Ask teachers for help in time.
C. Be given the solution to the problem.
D. Pay little attention to the process.
13. Kapur supported his idea by .
A. showing causes B. describing an activity
C. making a test D. introducing a method
14. In the last paragraph, Kapur advised students to .
A. make efforts to win help from others
B. use their head in an active way
C. make an attempt at something new
D. work out every difficult problem
15. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Raise your head B. Try your hands
C. Stand on your own feet D. Work your mind

A god had a horse. The horse was beautiful and also it had many good qualities. 16 It especially wanted to become the most beautiful horse in the world.
One day the horse said to the god, “You have given me beauty. You have given me other good qualities. 17 But how I wish you could make me more beautiful! I would be extremely, extremely grateful if you could make me more beautiful.”
The god said, “I am more than ready to make you more beautiful. 18 ” Then the horse said, “My neck is too short. If you can make my neck a little longer, my upper body will be more beautiful. And if you can make my legs much longer and thinner, then I will look more beautiful in my lower body.”
Then immediately the god made a camel appear in place of the horse. The horse was so sad that it started to cry, “Oh, no, I do not want to become a camel. 19 As a horse, everybody appreciated my good qualities. Nobody will appreciate me as a camel.”
The god said, “This is exactly what you asked for. You have become a camel. 20 If you cry for a longer neck and legs, this is what will happen. Each thing in my creation has its own good qualities. The camel is not as beautiful as you are, but it carries heavy loads and has a greater sense of duty.”
