He stopped in front of her car and got out. Even with the smile on his face, she was worried. He looked poor and hungry. He knew how she felt. He said, “I am here to help you, madam. Why dont you wait in the car where its warm? By the way, my name is Joe.”She had a flat tire (轮胎). Joe crawled under the car, changed the tire. But he got dirty and his hands hurt. She could not thank him enough and asked him how much she owed him. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him thank, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance they needed, and Joe added, “And think of me.”She drove off. A few miles down the road the lady saw a small restaurant. She went in. The waitress had a sweet smile, and was nearly eight months pregnant. The old lady wondered how someone like her who seemed poor could be so kind to a stranger. Then she remembered Joe. After the lady finished her meal, the waitress went to get her change from a hundred-dollar bill. But she stepped right out the door.When the waitress came back, she noticed something written on a napkin, “I am helping you because someone once helped me. If you really want to pay me back heres what you doDo not let the chain of love end with you.”That night when she got home, she was thinking about the money and what the lady had written. She and her husband needed money with the baby due next month. She knew how worried her husband was, and as he lay sleeping next to her, she whispered, “Everythings going to be all right. I love you, Joe.”21. When Joe stopped to help the lady, she _.A. became excitedB. was afraid to be hurtC. refused his offerD. thanked him 22. At the restaurant, the lady _.A. received good serviceB. had an expensive mealC. told the waitress Joes storyD. met another poor guest23. Why did the lady leave the restaurant without getting her change?A. She forgot it. B. She wanted to help Joe.C. She would get it later. D. She wanted to give the waitress some help.24. We can learn from the text that _.A. Joes boss fired him B. Joe worked as a driverC. Joes wife was the waitress D. Joe had an unhappy marriage25. By telling the story, the writer tries to show that _.A. God helps those who help themselves B. kindness can be spreadC. poverty is not a threat to a happy marriageD. a happy family depends on a happy marriageBMy challenge for you is this: to read a book for 15 minutes every single day for a month.Let me explain a bit, by telling you where the challenge came from. I have many things in common with my dad, like music taste and sense of humor, but sadly reading isnt one of them. I can happily spend a whole day with a book, but my dad cant read a book for longer than about 5 minutes. He reads emails, websites and papers for work, but not books. Hes busy so I think sitting down to read for just 15 minutes a day is a good way to relax and to introduce him to reading.My day is by no means the only person who avoids books. I know lots of people would rather relax on their computers or in front of the TV. Everyone is different and has their own interests, but I think therere lots of benefits to reading, which screen-based activities dont have.Firstly, its better for your eyes. Looking at screens can be very stressful for you eye muscles, and clearly you should avoid looking at screens for an hour before bed, to get a good nights sleep.One thing I personally love reading, is being transported to another worldI would often forget the time or things around me! Reading is a great way to switch off before you go to bed, because you think more about the world of the book, rather than the real world, so you can truly relax. I know you can be transported to a different world in a film or a TV show, but I think books do it better.I also enjoy hearing what people are doing and finding out what they think. Reading gives me the chance to get to know hundreds of new people! It also teaches you to see things from other peoples point of view, and understand other peoples decisions or opinions. With a book, you can hear everything a character is thinking or feelingyou really can be inside someone elses head!So give it a go! Take 15 minutes when youre waking up, going to bed, eating too much, or having a coffee. If you read a lot, why not try 15 minutes of an English book, or pass the challenge on to someone else? Good luck, and happy reading!26. The author gives the example of his father in the text to show _.A. his father is very busyB. reading is very important to usC. his father likes readingD. many people have no habit of reading27. The author writes the text mainly basing on _.A. his personal experienceB. some scientific experimentsC. his fathers personal adviceD. knowledge from books28. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to _.A. helping readers sleep wellB. making readers feel relaxedC. transporting readers to a different worldD. reminding readers of the real world29. What is authors attitude towards reading?A. Objective.B. Disapproving.C. Supportive.D. Doubtful.30. Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A. Tips for Reading English BooksB. 15-Minute Reading ChallengeC. Having a Coffee While You ReadD. Ways to Improve Reading SkillsCAlthough some people dont like using automatic hand dryer in restrooms, it may actually be argued that motion-sensing hand dryers are a practical alternative to paper towels. More and more businesses are using automatic hand dryers in their restrooms today. I believe that our school would benefit from investing in automatic hand dryers in all the restrooms.First of all, the automatic hand dryer is very sanitary (卫生的). Instead of pulling on a handle that has been touched by a large number of students, users can just stick their hands under the air dryer. No germs can get on them because there is nothing to touch. Kids wouldnt get sick from the paper towel dispensers (纸巾盒) we now use at our school. This would keep kids hands germ-free.In addition, if the school buys automatic hand dryers, we can save money that can be spent on more important things. I have noticed that there is a terrible waste of paper towels in the restrooms. Students continuously pull on the handle, dispensing towels that they do not really need. It is annoying to find the dispenser empty. An automatic hand dryer costs about $500, with very little additional cost over time. On the other hand, paper towels can cost $25 a case, or about $500 a year, since we use about 20 cases each year. After just one year, it would pay for itself If we installed (安装) automatic hand dryers, we would not waste paper towels, and it would save the school a ton of money.Finally, our bathroom is a paper towel mess! There are always piles of paper towels on the floor. Sometimes the extras fall from the dispenser unused. Many times kids make their used towel into a ball and aim for a basket. But if they miss the target, the paper ball stays on the floor. Paper towels leave so much litter in the restrooms that the restrooms are a messeven before the end of the day!Some people think that automatic hand dryers dont dry their hands as thoroughly as paper towels. People stand in front of the hand dryers for just a few seconds, and they are disappointed that their hands do not feel dry. However, studies have shown that when people dry their hands for at least 30 seconds, automatic dryers actually dry much better than paper towels. It is difficult to get every part of your hand dry using paper towels. The air makes sure that your hands are completely dry . if you take a few extra seconds.Keeping kids healthy, saving money, and helping our school stay clean are strong reasons for installing automatic hand dryers. Every day that goes by without having them means that we are continuing to have problems in our restrooms because we are using paper towels. Lets install automatic hand dryers as soon as possible!31. The automatic hand dryers are more sanitary because _.A. they can kill all the germsB. they keep kids hands free of germsC. they cant be reached by kidsD. they are able to clean themselves 32. What is the main idea of Paragraph 3?A. Schools should spend more money on important things.B. Both automatic hand dryers and paper towels cost a lot.C. Automatic hand dryers are more economical than paper towels.D. Schools can make use of automatic hand dryers to make money.33. The author seems to believe that _.A. the paper towel is the main reason for the bathroom messB. someone should be put in charge of the bathroom cleaningC. it is a good idea not to allow kids to use paper towels D. paper towels should be offered at a fixed time34. Sometimes hand dryers dont dry our hands completely probably because _.A. the dryer goes wrongB. the dryer is in sleep modeC. we dont know the operation of the dryerD. we do not continue drying long enough35. The main purpose of the text is to _.A. put an advertisement for a new productB. protect kids from getting sick in schoolC. persuade the school to install automatic dryersD. call on people to pay more attention to the environment第二节 （5小题，每小题2分，满分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。Which of these numbers do you think are lucky: four, seven, eight or thirteen? In many cultures around the world, people believe that some numbers are luckier than others. 36 In the United States, for example, many cities do not have a thirteenth street; many buildings do not have a thirteenth floor. There are also those who believe that Friday the 13th is an unlucky dayone on which many things can go wrong.The exact origin of superstitions (迷信) about Friday the 13th is unknown. However, superstitious fears about this date have grown and spread over the years thanks, in part, to unfortunate events. In the eighteenth century, a shipthe HMS Fridaywhich launched on a Friday the 13th, disappeared at sea. 37 On a Friday the 13th in 1992, an earthquake in Turkey killed thousands of people. 38 The country was originally divided into thirteen states. The bald eagle carries an olive branch in one of its claws with thirteen leaves and thirteen berries on it. In the other claw it is holding thirteen arrows, and above its head there are thirteen stars.In different cultures, other numbers are believed to be unlucky. In Japan, Korea, and China, for example, people consider the number four to be unlucky because the pronunciation of the word “four” is very similar to the pronunciation of the word that means “death”. 39 Also, people do not give gifts in multiples (倍数) of four. 40 In many western cultures, people believe that seven is a lucky number, while many Chinese people believe that the luckiest number is eight.

He said that he could answer for it that 41 is not always connected with it. He had been excelled by many, but could not remember ever feeling envious of his 42 competitors, “Nor did my winning many a 43 from my friend Birch,” said he, “ever lessen his 44 for me.” In support of the truth of this, the friend, who was 45 , related a story which he had 46 in a school in his neighborhood. At this school the sons of several rich farmers, and others, who were poorer, 47 instruction. Frank listened with great attention 48 the gentleman gave the following story of the two competitors: It 49 that the son of a rich farmer and the son of a poor widow (寡妇) came in 50 for the head of their class. They were so nearly equal that the teacher could 51 decide between them; some days one, and some days the other, 52 the head of the class. It was decided by seeing who should be at the head of the class for the greater number of days in the week. The widows son, by the last days efforts, won the victory, and kept his 53 the following week, till the school was closed for the holidays. When they met again the widows son did not appear, and the farmers son, being next to him, might now have been at the head of his class. 54 taking the now empty position, however, he went to the widows house to find out what could be the 55 of her sons absence. Poverty was the cause: the poor woman found that she was not able, with her total efforts, to 56 to pay for the tuition(学费) and books of her son, and so the poor fellow had to give up his schooling, and to labor for her 57 . The farmers son, out of the pocket money which his father gave him, bought all the 58 books and paid for the tuition of his competitor. The poor boy was 59 brought back to the head of his class, where he continued for some time, at the expense of his 60 competitor.41. A. angerB. envyC. careD. admiration42.
