Christmas was coming. Jamie and Ted had already begun to write long letters to Santa Claus. But boys asked him for the same things. Each little letter ended with ---"Just like Brother's."
They agreed to ask for only one sled. They would rather ride together.
One night, after they had gone to bed, Jamie said, "Ted, if Santa Claus brings us skates, Jim can teach us how to use them."
"Oh, yes." Jamie answered.
Ted went on: "I'll always ride the sled down a hill, and you can ride it up."
"I guess you won't," Jamie said loudly.
"Why not?" Ted asked.
"Because it'll be as much my sled as yours."
"Yes, of course," Ted replied; "but I chose it first."
"You are a selfish boy!" said Jamie.
"Well, then, so are you!"
"I don't care. I won't sleep with you. I'll ask mamma if I can't have the first pick," roared Jamie, bounding out of bed.
"You're a big, cross cry baby," Ted shouted, jumping out after his brother.
Away they ran to mamma. Both were angry.
Mamma was sad. She kissed their hot faces. She told them how their naughty words hurt her. She showed them how displeased God was to see two little brothers quarrel.
That night they went to sleep in each other's arms.
Christmas morning came at last. Very early the boys crept out of bed, just to "feel" their stockings.
Each little red stocking was full from toe to top. Boxes and paper parcels were piled around them. Such a good time! It seemed as if all their letters had been answered.
Suddenly Jamie cried, "O Ted, here's a letter!"
They put their little heads together, and spelled this out:
"My dear Boys,—No sled this year. It quarreled so I was afraid to bring it. I dropped it off the load about a week ago. Get ready for it next year. Merry Christmas! "

One of the best ways to protect yourself and other people from getting sick is to wash your hands with soap. To make soap, you need three main things: oil, water and lye（碱水）.
The oil can come from animal fat or plant sources like avocado, coconut or sunflower. Lye can be found at markets and other stores that sell cleaning products. Lye is also called sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide.
Be very careful. Lye can cause serious burns. It can also blind a person if it gets into the eyes. Do not breathe lye and do not let small children near it. And do not store lye in containers made of aluminum. The lye will eat through the metal.
But the owner of a soap making business in California says that there is no lye present in the finished soap. Diane Longacre says the lye and oil molecules combine and chemically change into soap and glycerin.
Some people make soap with potash（碳酸钾） lye. You boil ashes in water until only dry black salts remain. Once the salts melt, a gray-white substance is left. This is potash.
One simple way to make soft soap requires nine kilograms of potash. You also need twelve kilos of any kind of oil and twenty-six liters of water. Mix the potash well with the water. Add it to the oil in a wooden bucket.
For the next three days, mix the materials well with a wooden stick or spoon. Do this several times a day for about three minutes at a time. Then let the soap sit in the wooden bucket for about a month. After that, it will be ready to use.
49. Why does the writer warn us not to let small children near lye?
A. Because lye can burn easily.
B. Because lye can blind a person.
C. Because lye can make a person catch a cold.
D. Because lye can eat through the metal.
50. According to Diane Longacre, which of the following is right?
A. Soap consists of three things: oil, water and lye.
B. In the process of making soap, only chemical change occurs.
C. Glycerin is a kind of substance harmful to people.
D. In the process of making soap, lye is changed into other substances.
51. What are the right steps of making soap with potash?
A. boil ashes in water--- mix the potash well with the water---add the mixture to oil--- mix the materials well
B. boil ashes in water--- mix the potash well with oil ---add the mixture to the water --- mix the materials well
C. mix potash well with water --- boil ashes in the water ---add the mixture to oil--- mix the materials well
D. mix potash well with water---add the mixture to oil--- boil ashes in the water---mix the materials well
52．The best title of this passage is _______.
A. How to Make Soap B. How to Protect from Lye
C. Things Needed to Make Soap D. Just Do-it-yourself
第二节 回答问题（共3小题；每小题2分，满分6分）
阅读下面短文，根据第53至第55小题的具体要求，简要回答问题，并将答案转写到答题卡上。
On a very cold evening in northern Virginia many years ago, an old man was waiting for a ride across the river. Anxiously, he watched as several horsemen passed by, then another. Finally, the last rider came to the place where the old man sat. As this one drew near, the old man caught the rider’s eyes and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a ride to the other side?”
Reining (勒住缰绳) his horse, the rider replied, “ Sure.” Seeing the old man was unable to lift his half-frozen body from the ground, the rider got off the horse and helped the old man onto it. He took the old man not only across the river, but also to his house, which was just a few miles away.
As they came to his house, the rider’s curiosity caused him to ask the old man, “Sir, I noticed that you let several other riders pass by without asking for help. Then I came up and you immediately asked me for a ride. What would happen if I had refused and left you there?”
The old man lowered himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes and replied, “I’ve been there for some time. I think I know people well. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no worry about my situation. It would have been useless even to ask them for a ride. But when I looked into your eyes, I saw kindness and compassion (同情). I knew you would give me a hand.”
Those words moved the rider deeply. He said to the old man, “I am very grateful for what you have said. May I never get too busy with my own things that I fail to help others with kindness and compassion.”
53. Use two words to describe the last rider.
54. Why did the old man let several other riders pass by without asking for help? (回答词数不超过10个)
55. By saying “May I never get too busy with my own things that I fail to help others with kindness and compassion.” , what did he mean? (回答词数不超过15个)

The tradition of birthday parties started a long time ago. There are some traditions that you can find almost anywhere, anytime, such as sending birthday cards, blowing out the candles on a birthday cake and singing the ‘Happy Birthday’ song. Others are only found for certain ages and in certain countries.
In China, on a child’s second birthday, family members put many things on the floor around the child. According to Chinese tradition, the first thing that the child picks up tells you what profession the child will choose later in life.
For Japanese children, the third, fifth and seventh birthdays are especially important. At this age, there is a special celebration Shichi-Go-San (seven, five, three in Japanese) when children go to the temple wearing a new kimono (和服). The priest (僧侣) gives them special sweets, and the parents usually organize a party for their friends in their home.
In Argentina, Mexico and several other Latin American countries, girls have a special birthday celebration when they reach the age of fifteen. After a special ceremony (仪式), the girls dance a waltz with their father and other boys.
Eighteen is the traditional ‘coming of age’— the age when (in many countries) you have the right to vote, join the army and (in Britain) drink alcohol or buy a house.
In many English-speaking countries, a twenty-first birthday cake often has a key on top, or the cake itself is sometimes in the shape of a key. The key means that the young person is now old enough to leave and enter the family home at any time they want to!

One possible version:
The Importance of Water
As we know, plants and animals need water. So do people's life and production. Life couldn't go on without water. With the rapid development of agriculture and industry, more and more water is needed. However, water is becoming scarce in many places. What's more, a lot of rivers and lakes are beginning to be polluted by the waste water from factories. Fish can't live in them any longer. At the same time, the waste water does great harm to people's health.
In order to make rivers and lakes clean and prevent them from being polluted, we must take measures to stop it and fight a battle all kinds of pollution.
