Compassion is a desire within us to help others. With effort, we can translate compassion into action. An experience last weekend showed me this is true. I work part-time in a supermarket across from a building for the elderly. These old people are our main customers, and it’s not hard to lose patience over their slowness. But last Sunday, one aged gentleman appeared to teach me a valuable lesson. This untidy man walked up to my register(收款机)with a box of biscuits. He said he was out of cash, had just moved into his room, and had nothing in his cupboards. He asked if we could let him have the food on trust. He promised to repay me the next day.
I couldn’t help staring at him, I wondered what kind of person he had been ten or twenty years before, and what he would be like if luck had gone his way. I had a hurt in my heart for this kind of human soul, all alone in the world, I told him that I was sorry, but store rules didn’t allow me to do so. I felt stupid and unkind saying this, but I valued my job.
Just then, another man, standing behind the first, spoke up. If anything, he looked more pitiable(可怜的).“Charge it to me” was all he said.
What I had been feeling was pity. Pity is soft and safe and easy. Compassion, on the other hand, is caring in action. I thanked the second man but told him that was not allowed either, then I reached into my pocket and paid for the biscuits myself. I reached into my pocket because these two men had reached into my heart and taught me compassion.
1. The aged gentleman who wanted to buy the biscuits ________.
A. promised to obey the store rules
B. forgot to take any money with him
C. hoped to have the food first and pay later
D. could not afford anything more expensive
2. Which of the following best describes the old gentleman?
A. Kind and lucky.
B. Poor and lonely.
C. Friendly and helpful.
D. Hurt and disappointed.
3. The writer acted upon the store rules because ________.
A. he wanted to keep his present job
B. he felt no pity for the old gentleman
C. he considered the old man dishonest
D. he expected someone else to pay for the old man
4. What does the writer learn from his experience?
A. wealth is more important than anything else.
B. Helping others is easier said than done.
C. experience is better gained through practice.
D. Obeying the rules means more than compassion.
5. How would the old men feel at the end of the story?
A. Sad and disappointed.
B. Happy and lucky.
C. Depressed and unlucky.
D. Surprised and grateful.
B
Walk through the Amazon rainforest today and you will find it steamy, warm, damp and thick. But if you had been there around 15,000 years ago, during the last ice age, would it have been the same? For more than 30 years, scientists have been arguing about how rainforests might have reacted to the cold, dry climate of the ice ages, but till now, no one has reached a satisfying answer.
Rainforests like the Amazon are important for mopping up CO2 from the atmosphere and helping to solve global warming. Currently the trees in the Amazon take in around 500 million tons of CO2 each year: equal to the total amount of CO2 given off in the UK each year. But how will the Amazon react to the future climate change? If it gets drier, will it survive and continue to draw down CO2? Scientists hope that they will be able to learn in advance how the rainforest will manage in the future by understanding how rainforests reacted to climate change in the past.
Unfortunately, collecting information is incredibly difficult. To study the past climate, scientists need to look at fossilized pollen(花粉) kept in lake mud, Going back to the last ice age means drilling down into lake sediments(沉淀物), which requires specialized equipment and heavy machinery. There are very few roads and paths, or places to land helicopters and aeroplanes. Rivers tend to be the easiest way to enter the forest, but this still leaves vast areas between the rivers completely unsampled(未取样). So far, only a handful of cores have been drilled that go back to the last ice age and none of them provide enough information to prove how the Amazon forest reacts to climate change.
6. How do scientists study the past climate change?
A. By predicting the climate change in the future.
B. By drilling down deep into land sediments.
C. By analyzing fossilized pollen in lake mud.
D. By taking samples from rivers in the Amazon.
7. Why is it difficult to collect information about the past climate change?
A. Because scientists can't find proper equipment and machinery.
B. Because it is very difficult to obtain complete samples.
C. Because helicopters and aeroplanes have no place to land.
D. Because none of the cores provide any information.
8. Where is the passage most probably taken from?
A. A medical journal. B. A news report.
C. A travel brochure. D. A science magazine.
9. The best title for the text may be .
A. Secrets of the Rainforest
B. Climates of the Amazon
C. The History of the Rainforest
D. Changes of the Rainforest

John Snow—a doctor, who attended Queen Victoria as her personal physician. But he was willing to help ordinary people exposed in cholera. Many people died every time there was a outbreak. He wanted to face the challenge and solve the problem. No theories caught her attention. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies and the disease attacked the body. John Snow believed the second was right but he needed evidences. When another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enquiry and tried to get more information. He found that most of the deaths was near a water pump and the spread of the disease was with water. With the information, he was able to conclude that polluting water carried the virus. After that, he suggested the source of all the water supplies was examined. Finally "King Cholera" defeated.

Ⅳ. 短文改错
John Snow—a doctor,??attended Queen Victoria as her personal physician. But he was willing to help ordinary people exposed? ?cholera. Many people died every time there was??outbreak. He wanted to face the?challenge and solve the problem. No theories caught??attention. The first suggested that cholera multiplied in the air. The second suggested that people absorbed this disease into their bodies and the disease attacked the body. John Snow believed the second was right but he needed?. When another outbreak hit London in 1854, he was ready to begin his enquiry and tried to get more information. He found that most of the deaths??near a water pump and the spread of the disease was??water. With the information, he was able to conclude that??water carried the virus. After that, he suggested the source of all the water supplies??examined. Finally "King Cholera"?defeated.
第一处:分析句子结构可知,attended是整个句子的谓语动词,此处不是定语从句,who是多余的,故删除who。
第二处:be exposed to是固定短语,表示“接触、暴露于”,故in改成to。
第三处:此处表示泛指,outbreak是以元音音素开头,故a改成an。
第四处:此处与前面的He保持一致,修饰名词attention用形容词性物主代词,故her改成his。
第五处:evidence是不可数名词,没有复数形式,故evidences改成evidence。
第六处:前面的deaths是复数,对应的be动词也应该用复数,且讲述的是过去的事情,故was改成were。
第七处:由句意可知,此处表示方式,意为“通过、凭借”,故with改成by。
第八处:water与pollute之间是逻辑上的动宾关系,表示被动,应该用过去分词作定语,故polluting改成polluted。
第九处:suggest表示“建议”时,后面的从句用虚拟语气,即:(should)be/do,故was改成be。
第十处:"King Cholera"与defeat之间是被动关系,且讲述的是过去的事情,应该用一般过去时的被动语态,故在defeated前加was。

1.A 【解析】句意:如果有人让你看行李,马上通知警察。结合题干的结构和选项不难看出,此处考查"连词+非谓语动词"作状语的用法,由if可知,此处该结构作条件状语,ask与句子主语you(已经省略)为动宾关系,故只能用asked。其实,if asked…是if you are asked…的省略形式。
3.A 【解析】考查状语从句的省略。句意:欧洲的难民危机,如果处理不当的话,有可能会导致严重的社会问题。if条件句补充完整为"if it is not handled properly",根据主从句主语一致,从句中有be动词,可将从句的主语和be动词省略原则,该从句可省略it is,故A选项切题。
4.B 【解析】考查状语从句的省略式。句意:这种药晚些时候服用更不可能有副作用。这句话使用状语从句的省略式,完整的句子是when it is taken late in the day,省略主语和be动词,应用过去分词。故选B。
5. B【解析】考查状语从句的省略。句意:---这周五,你会去参加约翰的生日聚会吗?---当然不,即使收到 邀请。根据句意可知,第二句中用even if引起让步状语从句,even if后面省去了I am。当从句主语与 主句主语一致,且从句谓语包括有系动词be时,可省略从句的主语和系动词be。故选B。
6. A【解析】考查动词和状语从句省略。许多儿童会有因为吸吮手指而造成的问题,其可能会导致终身问题, 除非妥善处理。cause造成;lead与to搭配, “导致,造成”;suffer遭受;make制造,使得。Unless 后面省去了they(life-long problems) are。故选A。
