Mandela who won the nation's first all?race election after the fall of apartheid (种族隔离) in 1994, retired in 1999. But he remains as popular as ever.

Then they returned to their praise.揟hrough the ages, the human race has had its icons (偶像)—men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generations，” The Guardian said. “In_our_generation,_the_gods_presented_us_with_Nelson_Mandela.”

I'd like to share a story that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he tried to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn't understand it.I didn't like him anymore.
I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met an angry look and a few harsh (尖刻的) words. When the door was closed in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog biting my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal (背叛)．
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learnt that my friend's wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn't seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.
28．What is the influence of the story mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．It hurt his father's feeling deeply.
B．It has puzzled the author ever since.
C．It left a deep impression on the author.
D．It made the author dislike dogs.
29．What made the author think of the story of about 20 years ago?
A．His friend's attitude. B．The photo of the dog.
C．His father's wound. D．His friend's suffering.
30．Why did the author's friend say harsh words to the author?
A．He was ill?tempered.
B．He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.
C．He was bothered by an unexpected visit.
D．They once quarrelled and he couldn't forgive the author.
31．What's the author's advice to us?
A．Help those in need.
B．Look before you leap.
C．Respect for others is a good quality.
D．Learn to put yourself in others' shoes.
D
Eton College is a British independent school for boys aged between 13 and 18. All the pupils board (寄宿). Founded in 1440 by King Henry Ⅵ， the school is located in Eton, near Windsor in England, north of Windsor Castle，and is one of the original nine English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868.
The school has a very long list of famous former pupils，including 20 former prime ministers. Eton has been referred to as “the chief nurse of England's statesmen (政治家)”， and has been described as the most famous public school in the world.
Most of Eton's 1, 300 students enter the school at age 13. All candidates (参加考试的人) go through a preassessment (预评估) at age 11. The assessment includes an interview，a reasoning test and a report from the boy's school he is in. Those offered conditional places must then pass the qualifying examination at age 13，or do well in the more challenging King's Scholarship examination.
The school is usually able to offer conditional places to about one third of the candidates at age 11. Others are placed on a waiting list to substitute anyone who may give up later. A small number of boys who have not got conditional places may enter at age 13 by winning a King's Scholarship or Music Scholarship梑oth scholarships are highly competitive.
The school's major aim is to encourage each Etonian to be a self璫onfident, inquiring, positive young man, a well璻ounded character with an independent mind, and someone who respects the differences of others. By the time he leaves school，the school wants each boy to have a purpose greater than himself, and in doing so to be of value to society.
32．Paragraph 2 is meant to show Eton College's ________.
A．differences B．achievements
C．background D．teaching methods
33．What should one do in order to enter Eton at age 13?
A．Take a reasoning test.
B．Go through a preassessment.
C．Provide a report from his school.
D．Take a qualifying examination.
34．What does the underlined word “substitute” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Remove. B．Compare.
C．Replace. D．Educate.
35．What does Eton expect its students to be?
A．Useful to society.
B．Proud of themselves.
C．Good at earning money.
D．Humorous and positive.

Ali and his younger sister, Zahra,_lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们)．
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners,_determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

M：Good morning, this is Jesse Williams with your Tuesday weather report. We had a hot and sunny day yesterday. The temperature was 36 ℃. It is expected that today's temperature could climb to as high as 38 ℃ by the late afternoon. Right now, only an hour after sunrise, the temperature in our city is already 29 ℃. Unfortunately, there is also no rain for the next five days. This is bad news for the thirsty forest in our city. Wednesday is forecast to be hotter, reaching 40 degrees with a surprising 28 ℃ overnight. It is the hottest August day since 30 ℃ in 2015. The good news is that it will be windy tonight. So it seems that setting up a tent in the backyard may be the only way to catch some sleep tonight if you don't have an air?conditioner. When you go out, please wear your hat and sunglasses. That's all for today's weather report. The traffic report in the morning is as follows. Thank you for listening.

Dear Lucy，
I learned about your plan from your mail. Welcome to Beijing! I'm so happy because I can see you soon. You said you're going to buy several kites as souvenir. I think that's a good idea. Kites were invented in China. They represent Chinese culture. As for your tour in Beijing, I suggest you pay a visit to the Forbidden City, which used to be the palace while the emperors ruled China. I believe you will be amazed by the ancient buildings there.
I hope you'll have a good time during your stay in Beijing. Looking forward to seeing you soon!

Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third_prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Paragraph 2：
Filled with pleasure, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly,_taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.

Mandela who won the nation's first all?race election after the fall of apartheid (种族隔离) in 1994, retired in 1999. But he remains as popular as ever.

Then they returned to their praise.揟hrough the ages, the human race has had its icons (偶像)—men and women who rose above ordinary people to inspire their generations，” The Guardian said. “In_our_generation,_the_gods_presented_us_with_Nelson_Mandela.”

I'd like to share a story that happened when I was four. I remember it clearly. Our loving family dog was nearing the end of his life. My father picked him up and put him in a little bed we had made for him. Our dog, my companion, whom we had cared for, bit my father when he tried to help him. How could he? Why? I couldn't understand it.I didn't like him anymore.
I hadn't thought about that story for a long time but something that happened last week brought it back to me. I went to speak with a friend. When I knocked on the door, I met an angry look and a few harsh (尖刻的) words. When the door was closed in my face, I stood there shocked, and in a rush, I was reminded of my dog biting my father 20 years ago or so. What brought that story back was that same feeling of betrayal (背叛)．
Both stories taught me something the next day. You see, when I got up in the morning and was told my dog had died, it became clear to me that he must have been in great pain. For him to have bitten a family member, he could not have been himself. Much the same for the other story when I learnt that my friend's wife had just left him.
We are all beings of our environments, our opinions and feelings. And all of those things can cause you to say and do things that can't be understood by those who are not in the same situation with you.
If you meet someone either behaving out of character or acting in a way that doesn't seem to fit the situation, put out your hand and be patient when you think it is least possible for him to do so. You may turn around a story that has a sad ending simply by your actions.
28．What is the influence of the story mentioned in Paragraph 1?
A．It hurt his father's feeling deeply.
B．It has puzzled the author ever since.
C．It left a deep impression on the author.
D．It made the author dislike dogs.
29．What made the author think of the story of about 20 years ago?
A．His friend's attitude. B．The photo of the dog.
C．His father's wound. D．His friend's suffering.
30．Why did the author's friend say harsh words to the author?
A．He was ill?tempered.
B．He was suffering the pain of losing his wife.
C．He was bothered by an unexpected visit.
D．They once quarrelled and he couldn't forgive the author.
31．What's the author's advice to us?
A．Help those in need.
B．Look before you leap.
C．Respect for others is a good quality.
D．Learn to put yourself in others' shoes.
D
Eton College is a British independent school for boys aged between 13 and 18. All the pupils board (寄宿). Founded in 1440 by King Henry Ⅵ， the school is located in Eton, near Windsor in England, north of Windsor Castle，and is one of the original nine English public schools as defined by the Public Schools Act 1868.
The school has a very long list of famous former pupils，including 20 former prime ministers. Eton has been referred to as “the chief nurse of England's statesmen (政治家)”， and has been described as the most famous public school in the world.
Most of Eton's 1, 300 students enter the school at age 13. All candidates (参加考试的人) go through a preassessment (预评估) at age 11. The assessment includes an interview，a reasoning test and a report from the boy's school he is in. Those offered conditional places must then pass the qualifying examination at age 13，or do well in the more challenging King's Scholarship examination.
The school is usually able to offer conditional places to about one third of the candidates at age 11. Others are placed on a waiting list to substitute anyone who may give up later. A small number of boys who have not got conditional places may enter at age 13 by winning a King's Scholarship or Music Scholarship梑oth scholarships are highly competitive.
The school's major aim is to encourage each Etonian to be a self璫onfident, inquiring, positive young man, a well璻ounded character with an independent mind, and someone who respects the differences of others. By the time he leaves school，the school wants each boy to have a purpose greater than himself, and in doing so to be of value to society.
32．Paragraph 2 is meant to show Eton College's ________.
A．differences B．achievements
C．background D．teaching methods
33．What should one do in order to enter Eton at age 13?
A．Take a reasoning test.
B．Go through a preassessment.
C．Provide a report from his school.
D．Take a qualifying examination.
34．What does the underlined word “substitute” in Paragraph 4 mean?
A．Remove. B．Compare.
C．Replace. D．Educate.
35．What does Eton expect its students to be?
A．Useful to society.
B．Proud of themselves.
C．Good at earning money.
D．Humorous and positive.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Ali and his younger sister, Zahra,_lived with their parents in a poor neighborhood. Their mother was very sick and their father was struggling to find a job, and they had only a little money with which to buy food. As they had not paid the rent for several months, the landlord was breathing down their necks (盯着他们)．
One day, Ali took Zahra's shoes to a shoe repairman to be fixed, but he lost them on the way home. It wasn't until he got home that he realized he had lost the shoes. He was afraid that his parents would be angry and disappointed, so he begged his sister to keep it secret. Zahra agreed and the two decided to share Ali's running shoes. Zahra's school hours were in the morning, so she would wear them first. After school, she would rush back and give them to Ali. He could then run to his school, which began in the afternoon. Although he ran as fast as he could, Ali often arrived late and was warned by the school.
Ali heard about a long distance race that was held for the boys in the city. When he learned that the third prize was a new pair of shoes, he decided to take part. He ran home excitedly and promised his sister that he would win her the new shoes.
The day of race arrived. Ali had a strong start, but halfway through the race he began to get tired and his legs began to ache. Getting more and more exhausted he thought only of Zahra and his promise to her. Dreaming of the new shoes he would win for his sister gave him strength, and he stayed right behind the two fastest runners,_determined to finish third. Suddenly, as the finish line drew near, another runner collided (碰撞) with Ali from behind and he crashed to the ground.

M：Good morning, this is Jesse Williams with your Tuesday weather report. We had a hot and sunny day yesterday. The temperature was 36 ℃. It is expected that today's temperature could climb to as high as 38 ℃ by the late afternoon. Right now, only an hour after sunrise, the temperature in our city is already 29 ℃. Unfortunately, there is also no rain for the next five days. This is bad news for the thirsty forest in our city. Wednesday is forecast to be hotter, reaching 40 degrees with a surprising 28 ℃ overnight. It is the hottest August day since 30 ℃ in 2015. The good news is that it will be windy tonight. So it seems that setting up a tent in the backyard may be the only way to catch some sleep tonight if you don't have an air?conditioner. When you go out, please wear your hat and sunglasses. That's all for today's weather report. The traffic report in the morning is as follows. Thank you for listening.

参考范文：
Dear Lucy，
I learned about your plan from your mail. Welcome to Beijing! I'm so happy because I can see you soon. You said you're going to buy several kites as souvenir. I think that's a good idea. Kites were invented in China. They represent Chinese culture. As for your tour in Beijing, I suggest you pay a visit to the Forbidden City, which used to be the palace while the emperors ruled China. I believe you will be amazed by the ancient buildings there.
I hope you'll have a good time during your stay in Beijing. Looking forward to seeing you soon!
Best wishes!
Yours，
Li Hua

Paragraph 1：
Ali looked up and saw the other boys rushing ahead. Refusing to give up at this point, he jumped to his feet and ran as fast as he could. He dashed across the finishing line and won the fourth prize. Thinking he would let her sister down, Ali couldn't help sobbing. Just then he suddenly heard the announcement from the broadcast that he won the third_prize as the runner who collided with Ali was disqualified for breaking the rule. Holding the shoes close to his chest during the award ceremony, Ali felt overjoyed and relieved as he eventually won the shoes for his sister.
Paragraph 2：
Filled with pleasure, Ali walked home quickly. He could not wait to see his sister and share the good news. On his arrival, Ali found Zahra was waiting outside. Nervous and anxious, Zahra wondered whether her brother had brought her what she was expecting. “Zahra, see what I have got for you.” Ali said excitedly,_taking the prize out of his bag with his trembling hands. The instant Zahra saw the shoes, her face lit up. So thrilled was she that she threw herself at Ali. “Thank you! Ali.” Tears of joy welled up in their eyes as the brother and the sister hugged tightly together.
