   第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）
   A
   Having parked near the car wash beside the supermarket, I came away to wait for my wife to come from work. Coming my way from across the parking lot was what society would consider a bum (流浪汉). From the looks of him, he had no car, no home, no clean clothes, and no money. There are times when you feel generous but there are other times that you just don’t want to be bothered . This was one of those “don’t want to be bothered times.”
   “I hope he doesn’t ask me for any money,” I thought. He didn’t. He came and sat on the seat by the bus stop but he didn’t look like he could have enough money to even ride the bus. After a few minutes he spoke, “That’s a very pretty car”. He was ragged (衣着破旧的) but he had an air of dignity around him. I said, “thanks,” without taking a look at him.
   He sat there quietly for a moment. The expected begging for money never came. As the silence between us widened something inside said, “Ask him if he needs any help.” I was sure that he would say “yes”. So I asked, “Do you need any help?”
   He answered in three simple words that I shall never forget. The three words shook me. “Don’t we all?” he said.
   I was feeling successful and important, above a bum in the street, until those three words hit me. Don’t we all? I needed help. Maybe not for bus fare or a place to sleep, but I needed help. I reached in my wallet and gave him not only enough for bus fare, but enough to get a warm meal and shelter for the day. Those three little words still ring true. No matter how much you have, you need help too. However, no matter how little you have, you can give help too.
   21. The author walked away from the car wash to _____.
   1. go to work
2. wash his car
   C. go shopping
   D. meet his wife
   22. When the author first saw the bum, he planned to _____.
   1. ignore his difficulty
      B. give him a lesson
      C. offer him some help
      D. make friends with him
      23. When the bum said “Don’t we all?”, the author felt _____.
      1. satisfiedB. shy C. sadD. shocked
         24. What is the best title for the text?
         A. The clever bum
         B. Never lose your dignity
3. Don’t we all need help?

来源：D. To give or not?

B

It would be hard to argue that there is anyone more powerful in Hollywood today than Steven Spielberg. Since his first major success “Jaws” in 1975, he has made one hit movie after another. These include the wildly popular series “Indiana Jones,” “Jaws” and “ET”.

Those films are fun and lighthearted. But Steven Spielberg has also made serious films that were well received by critics (评论家) and movie audiences alike. The movie “Saving Private Ryan” is a good example. It is an American war movie in the traditional sense. But, the director’s close attention to detail and historical facts also increased public interest in America’s efforts during World War Two.

4The film “Schindler’s List” also takes place during World War Two. It tells the powerful story of a German businessman who worked to save Jews from Nazi Germany.

Steven Spielberg was born in the city of Cincinnati, Ohio in 1946. His mother owned a restaurant and was also a musician. His father was an electrical engineer. Steven started making movies while he was growing up. He required his family and friends to pay twenty-five cents to see his films when they were completed. Steven Spielberg said thisexperience led him to produce the film “Super Eight”. It tells about a group of teenagers who join together to make a movie and uncover a mystery in the process.

Steven Spielberg is one of the top directors in the film industry and also has many fans in China. When asked about the secret of his success, Steven Spielberg said that he owes much of his success and happiness to his wife and children. He met Cate Capshaw, who is an actress, when he was working on one of his films. After that it still took seven years before they finally got married. The couple has seven children in all.

25. What’s the similarity between “Saving Private Ryan” and “Schindler’s List”?

1. They are both humorous.
2. They were released at the same time.
3. They both happen during World War Two.
4. They are both traditional American movies.

26. According to the text, Steven Spielberg _____.

1. lived a poor life when he was young
2. believed hard work led to his success
3. has got seven children in total
4. had musical parents

27. The underlined words “this experience” in Paragraph 3 refer to the experience of _____.

1. young Steven Spielberg’s life
2. young Steven Spielberg’s making films
3. Steven Spielberg’s achieving success
4. Steven Spielberg’s living with his family

   Every day, 15-year-old Martha wrote on the Internet about the meal she ate at school. She also took pictures of the food. However, Martha was very honest about the food. She did not just describe the food. She judged the taste and health of the food.
   Martha also began to use her blog（博客）for an important reason. She began to raise money for the organization Mary’s Meals in the East African country of Malawi. It provides food for children in schools for free. Martha encouraged her readers to send money to Mary’s Meals to help build a kitchen.
   But then, Martha began to have a problem. Many people read her blog. She became big news. The news stories showed that the food at Martha’s school was not always healthy. And that made some people angry. So the school officials decided to stop Martha’s blog. They said that she could not take her camera to school.
   But an amazing thing happened. Many people began sending messages of support across the Internet. Martha’s story was even bigger than before. Now the officials had to change their minds. A few days later, Martha was again writing her blog. But more than that, people had sent a lot of money for the Malawi school children. Martha had hoped to raise about 10,000 dollars. But the total reached 100,000 dollars and still kept on growing!
   Martha’s blog also helped to improve meals at her school. One day she wrote: As we waited for dinner we were told that we are allowed to eat as much fruit and bread as we want.
   No one knows what will happen to Martha’s blog in future. But already this little girl has helped to change the eating experience of many children just by sharing on the Internet pictures of her school meals.
   28. Martha wrote about her school meals on her blog to __________.
   1. invite students to judge the food B. show the terrible taste of the food
      C. express her opinion about the food D. ask the school to improve the food
      29. The organization Mary’s Meals __________.
      A. was set up by Martha B. provides free school meals
      C. is an international organization D. helps poor families build kitchens
      30. Why did the school officials want to prevent Martha writing her blog?
      A. It had a bad influence on her study. B. Some people were upset by its content.
      C. Taking pictures needs a lot of time. D. Many other students started to copy her.
      31. According to the text, Martha __________.
      A. got a lot of support around the world B. helped improve children’s eating habits
      C. raised $10,000 for the Malawi school children
      D. has no idea what to write on her blog in future
      32. What’s the best title for the text?
      A. School Meals B. Mary’s Meals
      C. Power of the Internet D. Martha Shares Her Food
      D
      “I’d like to be at a healthier weight,” a friend told me. “But we just don’t have the money to buy expensive diet foods and there isn’t enough money to join a gym.” Many people feel that way — that a healthy diet and exercise plan is out of reach because of their high cost. Don’t lose hope! We’ll be looking at ways to make healthy choices without spending too much money.
      First you don’t need to buy the expensive pre-prepared “diet foods.” Back in the early 1970s when I started housekeeping, 90% of the food I bought was ingredients. Very few things were preprocessed (预处理的). Now 90% of the food you find in the store is quick food. That’s a bad thing.
      Quick foods like boxed “just add hamburger” meals have had the fiber (纤维) removed to make them faster to prepare. Take a look at the label (标签) on that box. It often has low numbers listed under “fiber” because fiber takes longer to digest. If the low fiber meal is digested, the result is that your body begins to store fat. Besides, your body is short of nutrients (营养物质). You will be driven to eat more to try to make up for the low quality of the food you are eating.
      4 And then there are the chemicals the producers add to the quick meals to make them palatable. If not, the stuff would taste like cardboard and you wouldn’t enjoy it. However, these chemicals certainly aren’t good for your health.
      What’s the answer? Buy whole ingredients and give up the expensive, low nutrition, processed foods. Do the cooking yourself and you will have control over what is in your food — and it will cost less, too.
      33. People who find it hard to get a healthier weight think _____.
      A. they had too much diet food
      B. they didn’t make a detailed plan
      C. they have no time to do exercise in gym
      D. they can’t afford diet food and to exercise in gym
      34. The author doesn’t like quick food mainly because _____.
      A. it contains too much fat
      B. it makes people eat more
      C. it has low fiber
      D. it takes longer to digest
      35. The underlined word “palatable” in Paragraph 4 means _____.
      1. fresh B. deliciousC. healthyD. poor

He met her at a party. ___36___， while he was so normal, nobody paid attention to him.

At the end of the party, he invited her to have coffee with him. She was surprised but due to being polite, she promised. They sat in a nice coffee shop; he was too nervous to say anything; she felt uncomfortable, and she thought to herself, “___37___.”

Suddenly he asked the waiter, “Would you please give me some salt? I'd like to put it in my coffee.” Everybody stared at him－so strange! His face turned red but still, he put the salt in his coffee and drank it. She asked him curiously, “Why do you have this hobby？”He replied, “When I was a little boy, I lived near the sea. I liked playing in the sea and I could feel the taste of the sea, just like the taste of the salty coffee. Now every time I have the salty coffee, I always think of my childhood and my hometown. I miss my hometown so much, and I miss my parents who are still living there.” While saying that tears filled his eyes. ___38___. That's his true feeling, from the bottom of his heart. A man who can tell out his homesickness (乡愁) must be a man who loves home, cares about home and has responsibility of home...Then she also started to speak about her faraway hometown, her childhood and her family.

___39___. They continued to date. She found that actually he was a man who meets all her demands: he had tolerance, was kind­hearted, warm and careful. He was such a good person but she almost missed him! Thanks to his salty coffee! Then the story was just like every beautiful love story in which the princess married the prince, and then they were living the happy life...And, every time she made coffee for him, she put some salt in the coffee, as she knew that's the way he liked it.

After 40 years, he passed away, leaving her a letter which said，“My dearest, please forgive me, forgive my whole life's lie. ___40___.”

Dear Mr Smith，

I’d like to make use of the coming vacation to teach the foreigners in your community to learn Chinese. The reason why I have decided to do this is that I can improve my English when I help them to learn Chinese. Since I’m not familiar with them, I’d like you to help me contact those who want to learn Chinese in their spare time. Do tell them: All that I will do is free of charge. I would appreciate it if you could help me.

Looking forward to your reply.

Yours,Li Hua
