三、阅读理解
A
It was the ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Greek shopkeeper who taught me about the power of being kind.
In 2008 I left ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Spain to study alone in London. My parents had to bring up my three younger sisters and two younger brothers, so I found three part-time jobs to pay for my studies. I worked early mornings and late nights, so I was tired, really tired, all the time.
Unfortunately, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )got a cold and had a very high fever. Because I had spent all my free time working since I came to London. I hardly took part in any activities and I had no friends. Besides, I was too shy to communicate with others and ask others for help. After sleeping on the sickbed for two days, I went out to get some food. Normally, I went to the supermarket, but this time I went into the Greek shop, a small corner shop, because it was closer.
I picked u ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )p some food and gave it to the shopkeeper, who asked me, "You look terrible, my boy! You are not feeling well, right "
I said "Yes" in a low voice.
She pointed at ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the salami(腊肠) and bread I was buying and offered, "I can make you a sandwich, so you don't have to do it yourself. "
I nodded without saying a word.
So, she made th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e sandwich and asked me to wait a moment. She went into the back room and came again with a bowl of hot soup.
"It will warm you up, " she said with a friendly smile.
What really warm ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ed me up was not the soup. It was her smile that told me she cared me. Her kindness reminded me of my mother.
I had been quite s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hy, but from that day on, I did not let shyness prevent me from communicating with and being kind to others. Now I work in a children's hospital in Africa. I love my work and people around me. I always bring my smile and kindness to them.
( )1. When did the writer leave for London
A. In 2003. B. In 2009. C. In 2008. D. 10 years ago.
( )2. What can we learn about the writer and his family
A. His parents could not afford his studies.
B. There are five kids in his family.
C. The writer is the youngest child in the family.
D. In 2008 the writer left London to study in Spain.
( )3. What happened to the writer
A. He lost his ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) part-time jobs. B. He had an argument with his friends.
C. He got a col ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )d and had a very high fever. D. He was not popular at his school.

C. She made some bread. D. She sold him some salami.
B
The bank of Engl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )and is making plans to introduce plastic banknotes to the UK.
Paper notes, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )meaning pieces of paper money, have been used in England for more than 300 years, but replacing them with plastic ones could be better.
Plastic notes ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )were first introduced to Australia back in 1988. Since then other countries, including Romania, Vietnam, Mexico and Malaysia, have also begun using money made in this way.
Fans of water s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ports, such as surfing, find this type of money more useful and Easier, as they can take it with them in the water and won't worry that it will fall apart. It is also good for people who by mistake put clothes in the washing machine with a note in the pocket !
It is more ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) hygienic (clean and free of bacteria) than paper money as it absorbs less bacteria(the simplest and smallest form of plants, some of which cause disease). And it is stronger. This means it lasts longer. According to a survey, a usual 5 note in the UK lasts around six months, while the $ 5 Australian bill lasts for an average of 40 months.
A downsid ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e of plastic cash is that it costs more money to produce. Cash and money- counting machines will also have to be adapted to accept the new money.
It is expected th ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )at the Bank of England, who hopes to start printing plastic notes from 2015, will introduce the money slowly, using the most common notes first.
( )5. Which country was the first to use plastic notes
A. The UK. B. Romania. C. Vietnam. D. Australia.
( )6. You can put t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )he sentence "Besides being waterproof, there are other good effects of using plastic notes instead of paper ones. " at the beginning of_______.
A. Paragraph 3 B. Paragraph 4 C. Paragraph 5 D. Paragraph 6
( )7. Which is NOT ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )the reason why the UK wants to use plastic notes instead of paper ones
A. They take up less space. B. They are stronger.
C. They don't let water through. D. They are more hygienic.
C
You want t ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )o know about my staying in America, right Well, to tell you the truth, it is really an eye-opening experience to study here.
In China, I ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )had English classes five times a week since fifth grade. However, I didn't know how different textbook English could be from everyday English until I came to Hotchkiss School, Connecticut.
When I first stud ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ied English, I was told to say, "I am fine. " when people say "How are you " But in the US, I found that people say, "I am good" or "I'm tired".
One day, someon ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e greeted me with "What's up " It made me confused. I thought for a moment and then smiled because I didn't know what to say. Since then, I have discovered more and more differences between Chinese and US cultures.
To my surpris ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e, US girls spend a lot of time in the burning sun to get a tan(晒黑). However, in China, girls try every possible way to get their skin paler, or "whiter".
I was also s ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )urprised by how hardworking US students are. In China, schoolwork is almost everything, so we study hard and that's it. But here, a "good" student gets good grades, does a lot for the public and plays sports or music.
The kids here a ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )re so talented, I am starting to be sorry that I gave up playing the piano at an early age and that I have never thought about sports.
( )8. What doe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the word "confused" in the fourth paragraph mean in Chinese
A．困惑 B．憧憬 C．悲痛 D．后悔
( )9.A good US student spends his or her time_______.
A. only in doing homework
B. on studies, sports or music and public work
C. only in working for the public
D. only on sports or music
( )10. Which of the following is NOT true
A. The writer is now in US.
B. American girls love to have white skin.
C. US students are talented and hard working.
D. The writer regrets that he gave up playing the piano.
D
Almost every C ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )hinese person can recite the two lines of the famous poem, "Every grain on the plate comes from hard work(谁知盘中餐, 粒粒皆辛苦)." But sadly, many of us don't actually get the real meaning of these lines: Don't waste food.
A CCTV program, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) News One Plus One, reported that the food Chinese people throw away every year is enough to feed 200 million people for a year.
Do we ha ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )ve too much food Of course not. According to the UN World Food Program, there were 925 million hungry people around the world in 2010, especially in developing countries. Six million children die of hunger every year.
Chinese peopl ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e are well known for being hospitable(好客的) and generous. Many even feel that they lose face if their guests have eaten all the food on the table.
Luckily, ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) a number of people have realized the importance of saving food. Last November, Li Hong, a waitress in a restaurant in Nanjing, got fired because she took some leftover food home for her son Many people stood by her side and criticized(批评) the waste of food.
What should w ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )e do in our daily lives to waste less food Here are some tips:
·Do not orde ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )r too much in a restaurant. Only order as much as you want to eat. If you cannot eat all the food you ordered, take the rest of it home.
·Don't be too ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ) picky(挑剔的) about food. Some food may not taste great, but your body needs it.
·Keep an ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )eye on what food you have at home. Don't buy too much, especially for vegetables and fruit.
( )11. How m ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )any people were hungry in the world in 2010 according to the UN World Food Program
A. 200 million. B ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com ). Six million. C. 925 million. D. 625 million.
( )12. What doe ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )s the writer want to show us through Li Hong's story
A. Many Chinese restaurants waste a large amount of food.
B. Many ( http: / / www.21cnjy.com )Chinese people are kind-hearted and ready to help the weak.
