Recently,
my
college
degree
has
just
been
completed.
The
last
project
was
called
“Smile”.
The
class
was
asked
to
go
out
to
smile
at
three
people
and
write
down
their
reactions.
I
am
a
very
friendly
person
and
always
smile
at
everyone
and
say
hello
anyway.
So,
I
thought
this
would
be
a
piece
of
cake.
My
husband,
the
youngest
son
and
I
went
out
to
McDonald.
We
were
standing
in
line
when
all
of
a
sudden
everyone
around
us
began
to
back
away.
As
I
turned
around,
an
unpleasant
body
smell
came
to
my
nose
and
two
poor
homeless
men
stood
just
behind
me.
As
I
looked
at
the
short
blue-eyed
gentleman
closest
to
me,
he
was
“smiling”.
The
second
man
fumbled
(摸索)with
his
hands
as
he
stood
behind
his
friend.
The
young
lady
at
the
counter
asked
him
what
they
wanted.
He
said,
“Coffee
is
all,
Miss,”
because
that
was
all
they
could
afford.
Then
I
really
felt
it
—
I
embraced
(拥抱)the
little
man
with
the
blue
eyes.
That
is
when
I
noticed
all
eyes
in
the
restaurant
were
set
on
me,
judging
my
every
action.
I
smiled
and
asked
two
more
breakfast
meals
and
gave
them
to
the
men.
The
blue-eyed
gentleman
looked
up
at
me,
with
tears
in
his
eyes,
and
said,
“Thank
you.”
I
turned
in
my
project.
My
teacher
said,
“Can
I
share
this?”
I
slowly
nodded
as
she
got
the
attention
of
the
class.
She
began
to
read
and
that
is
when
I
knew
that
we
as
human
beings
share
this
need
to
make
people
happy
and
to
be
mare
happy.
In
my
own
way
I
had
touched
the
people
at
McDonald’s
and
every
soul
that
heard
the
story
in
the
classroom.
But,
I
graduated
with
one
of
the
biggest
lessons
I
would
ever
learn.
24.
The
underlined
part
“a
piece
of
cake”
in
Paragraph
1
means
_______.
A.
easy
B.
embarrassing
C.
moving
D.
comfortable
25.
Why
did
people
around
the
writer
in
the
McDonald
step
back?
A.
Because
they
were
very
polite
to
the
two
men.
B.
Because
they
were
moved
by
the
two
men.
C.
Because
the
two
men
seemed
unfriendly.
D.
Because
the
two
men
smelt
terrible.
26.
What
did
the
writer
think
she
learned
from
the
story?
A.
A
friend
in
need
is
a
friend
indeed.
B.
Helping
others
can
bring
pleasure
to
many
people.
C.
Nothing
is
difficult
to
a
willing
heart.
D.
Don’t
judge
people
according
to
their
appearance.
C
In
China,
many
people
are
leaving
the
countryside
to
find
jobs
in
the
cities,
because
the
countryside
is
much
poorer
than
the
city,
and
often
there
isn't
much
work
there.
Services
such
as
hospital
and
transport
are
usually
much
better
in
the
city
than
in
the
countryside.
They
hope
that
their
lives
will
improve
when
they
move
to
the
city.
????
But
in
the
big
cities
of
Europe
like
London
or
Paris,
people
are
moving
out
of
the
city.
These
rich
families
want
to
live
a
quieter
life.
They
are
tired
of
the
noise
and
the
dirt
of
the
city,
and
they
are
tired
of
the
crowded
streets,
crowded
trains
and
buses.
They
don't
want
to
live
in
the
cities
any
more.
They
want
a
house
with
a
garden
in
the
countryside,
and
breathe
the
fresh
air
there.
???
So
they
move
out
of
the
cities.
Some
don't
go
very
far,
just
a
little
way
out
of
the
city,
to
the
towns
near
the
cities,
other
people
move
to
the
real
countryside
with
sheep,
cows
and
green
fields.
There,
they
start
new
lives
and
try
to
make
new
friends.
???
Not
all
those
who
move
from
the
city
to
the
countryside
are
happy.
After
two
or
three
years,
many
people
who
have
done
this
feel
that
it
was
a
big
mistake.
They
don't
make
so
much
money
and
there
isn't
much
work
to
do.
People
in
the
countryside
are
very
different
and
aren't
always
very
friendly.
????
As
a
result,
quite
a
lot
of
people
who
have
moved
to
the
countryside
move
back
to
the
city.
"It's
wonderful
to
see
crowds
in
the
streets
and
cinema
lights,"
they
say.
27.
Which
is
NOT
the
reason
for
people
moving
to
the
cities
in
China?
A．The
countryside
is
much
poorer
than
me
city.
B．People
in
the
countryside
have
nothing
to
eat.
C．People
in
the
countryside
don't
have
much
work
to
do
there.
D．Services
in
cities
are
usually
much
better
than
those
in
the
countryside.
28.
Why
do
some
rich
families
in
Europe
move
to
the
countryside?
A．Because
they
will
find
good
jobs.????
B．Because
they
are
tired
of
living
in
the
city.
C．Because
they
can
make
more
money
there.
D．Because
they
like
feeding
sheep
and
cows
in
the
green
fields.

to
move
back

第二节
（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
While
people
in
both
England
and
the
U.S.
speak
English,
the
two
types
of
English
can
be
very
different.
First,
there
are
differences
in
spelling.
The
British
like
the
letter
“u”
and
have
kept
it
in
many
words.
31.________
Somewhere
in
our
language
history,
we
decided
that
“labor”,
“color”
and
“favorite”
were
just
fine
without
the
“u”
next
to
the
“o”.
32.________
Sometimes,
we
use
totally
different
words.
Here,
we
live
in
apartments
with
elevators.
Over
there,
they
live
in
flats
with
lifts.
We
power
our
cars
with
gas.
They
use
petrol.
And,
if
we
need
to
look
in
our
car’s
dark
trunk
for
something,
we
use
a
flashlight.
They
would
use
a
torch
to
search
their
dark
boot.
33.________Some
British
and
American
idioms
have
the
same
meaning,
but
use
different
words.
For
example,
in
the
U.
S.
if
you
want
to
add
your
opinion
to
a
conversation,
you
put
in
your
two
cents.In
the
U.K.,
they
put
in
their
two
pence.
Make
sense.
They
have
pence
and
we
don’t.
Finally,
a
familiar
word
used
by
both
countries
but
in
different
ways
is
“cheers”.
We
use
the
word
over
drinks
when
we
are
wishing
someone
good
health
or
congratulating
on
success.
The
British
use“cheers”
to
mean
“thank
you.”
34._________
Now,
we
don’t
expect
you
to
pick
sides.
35._______
A.
The
usage
of
the
word
comes
from
America.
B.
For
that,
we
Americans
say,
“Thank
you!”
C.
American
English
will
be
used
more
often
than
British
English.
D.
Americans
have
dropped
it.
E.
Then
there
are
idioms.
F.
Both
American
and
British
English
have
their
strong
points.
G.
But
our
differences
go
beyond
spelling.
第三部分：英语知识运用（共二节；满分45分）
第一节：完型填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）
阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项﹙A、B、C和D﹚中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。
On
my
first
day
of
the
sixth
grade,
I
noticed
one
little
girl
called
Amy
on
the
school
bus.
“Don’t
36._____
her,”
Lauren
said,
who
sat
beside
me.
“Or
they
will
make
fun
of
you.”
Amy
had
many
37._____
differences
—
lots
of
reasons
for
other
kids
to
make
fun
of
her.
Her
eyes
weren’t
straight.
Her
glasses
were
an
inch
thick.
And
she
had
really
ugly
teeth.
Every
day
38.______
we
drove
to
and
from
school,
kids
would
shout
insults
(侮辱)
at
Amy.
“God,
what
a
(n)
39.______
face!
Stop
looking
at
me!”
“Mr.
Rolland
(the
driver)!
Amy
took
off
her
40._____,
and
now
her
eyes
are
41.______
me!
Make
her
put
them
back
on!”
For
a
while
I
shouted
my
share
of
insults,
just
so
I
would
fit
in
(合群).
42._____,
I
didn’t
want
them
to
treat
me
the
same
way
they
treated
Amy.
But
while
I
was
insulting
her,
my
heart
43._____
for
the
girl.
I
could
see
that
the
insults
were
making
her
look
44.______,
because
she
was
so
ashamed
(羞愧)
and
alone.
Then
I
wanted
to
45.____
her.
I
just
didn’t
know
how
to
stop
my
schoolmates
46._____
the
night
of
our
class
roller-skating
party.
Our
whole
class
was
there,
including
Amy.
Amy
didn’t
know
how
to
47._____,
but
I
could
see
how
much
she
wanted
to
48.______
like
the
rest
of
us.
So
I
skated
over
to
her
and
took
her
by
the
hand;
we
began
the
journey
together
around
the
skating
rink
(溜冰场).
She
just
smiled,
and
sometimes
she
would
laugh
in
49._____.
On
the
school
bus
the
next
morning
there
was
much
news
about
Amy
and
me
50._____
together,
51._____
nobody
insulted
her
or
me.
And
they
didn’t
do
that
for
the
rest
of
the
year.
After
graduation,
I
never
52.____
Amy
again.
However,
I
never
forget
her
and
I
have
always
53._____
if
I
changed
her
life
for
the
better.
But
I
know
for
sure
she
changed
my54.______.

smile.
I

One
possible
version
Dear
Alex,
I’m
sorry
to
hear
that
you
feel
anxious
before
exams,
which
is
actually
quite
natural
among
students.
But
this
situation
can
be
easily
changed
if
you
take
my
advice.
Above
all,
you
should
keep
a
good
state
of
mind.
That
is
to
say,
you
need
to
have
confidence
in
yourself
and
look
at
everything
positively.
Additionally,
it
is
advisable
for
you
to
listen
to
music,
take
exercise
and
communicate
with
your
friends,
which
helps
to
get
rid
of
pressure.
Last
but
not
least,
what
really
matters
is
to
keep
trying
and
never
give
up.
I
hope
you
will
find
these
ideas
useful.
Yours
sincerely,
Li
Hua

Paragraph
1
“Go
back
to
tell
him
waiting
there
for
a
while
until
we
come
back
in
15
minutes,”
I
told
Nick.
He
jumped
off
the
car
and
ran
to
tell
the
stranger.
Then,
we
drove
to
the
nearest
store
and
carefully
choose
gifts.
“The
things
cannot
be
too
heavy,”
I
explained
to
the
kids,
“they
must
be
the
ones
that
he
can
carry.”
We
finally
bought
something,
a
bag
of
dog
food
and
two
bottles
of
water
(one
was
for
the
dog
and
the
other
for
the
man)
as
well
as
some
fast
food
for
the
man.
Paragraph
2
On
the
surface
it
seems
that
we
helped
him,
but
in
fact
he
gave
me
a
gift
I
would
never
forget—it
had
influenced
on
my
children
deeply.In
the
following
years,
my
children
had
all
grown
up
and
become
useful
people
to
the
society.
At
a
charity
speech,
my
son
Nick
told
t
his
story
to
the
audience.
He
concluded
in
the
end,
“It
influenced
me
so
greatly
that
it
made
me
know
that
regardless
of
a
person's
appearance,
their
mind
should
get
goodwill,
compassion
and
acceptance.
It
was
the
stranger
who
opened
my
mind.”

We

We

It’s

W:
Kevin,
you

doe

to

Plastic
can
pollute
the
ocean
and,
in

harm

Get
ready
to
say
goodbye
to
today’s
warm,
sunny
weather.
Just
when
millions
of
people
are
getting
ready
for
the
Christmas
holiday,
three
storms
are
expected
to
make
problems
for
holiday
travelers.
None
of
the
storms
will
be
strong,
but
the
cold
air
will
make
traveling
difficult.
The
first
storm
will
arrive
on
this
weekend.
(17)
It
will
bring
rain
to
the
northeast,
but
warm
air
in
New
York
City
might
cause
some
fog
and
low
clouds.
(18)
It
will
be
hard
for
drivers
to
see
the
road
clearly.
Later
in
the
week,
snow
will
come
to
the
northwest
states,
with
three
inches
falling
in
Saint
Paul,
Minnesota.
And
a
few
days
later,
just
when
the
New
Year’s
celebrations
are
scheduled,
Boston
will
be
covered
with
free
zing
rain.
The
ice
will
cause
problems
for
anyone
trying
to
travel
on
foot,
(19)
with
one
inch
of
ice
expected
on
city
roads.
New
Year’s
will
be
cold
in
Chicago,
too,
with
a
strong
wind
blowing
water
from
the
river
onto
anyone
hoping
to
celebrate
by
the
water.(20)
