I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when thedoorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags huddling (蜷缩) together on the top step.“Any old papers, lady?” asked one of them. I wanted to say “no” until I saw them still wearing thin little sandals (凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. “Come in and Ill make you a cup of hot cocoa.” I said. They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started cooking. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice,“Lady, are you rich?” “Am I rich? Pity, no!” I answered, looking at my worn-out slipcovers (椅套). The girlputher cup back in its saucer (碟) carefully and said,“Your cups match your saucers.”They left after that, holding their papers against the wind.They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china cups and saucers wereonlyworth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads (有栖身之处), my man with a regularjob, these matched, too.I moved the chairs backfromthe fire and cleaned the living room.The muddy marks of little sandals were still wet upon my floor.

BOttawa is the capital of Canada. It is the second largest city in Ontario and the fourth largest city in the country.The Centre Block is the main building on Parliament Hill (国会山). It is also the location of several ceremonial spaces, such as the Hall of Honor and the Memorial Chamber. The present Centre Block is the seconditerationof the building, after the first was destroyed by fire in 1916, and it is one of the most recognizable buildings in Canada.Downtown Ottawa is the commercial and economic centre of the city. Most of the buildings are office towers. While most of Ottawas high tech industry is based elsewhere, it has a significant presence in the downtown core (中心部分). The downtown also contains a number of apartments, hotels, and the older single family homes and townhouses along its edges.The National Gallery of Canada is one of Canadas premier (首位的) art galleries. The Gallery has a large and varied collection of paintings, drawings, sculpture and photographs. Although its focus is on Canadian art, it also holds works by some noted American and European artists.The Rideau Canal is the oldest continuously operated canal system in North America. At the very beginning, the purpose of the Rideau Canal was military, as it was intended to provide a secure supply and communication route between Montreal and the British naval (海军的) base in Kingston. It remains in use today primarily for pleasure boating, with most of its original structures still exsiting. The locks on the system open for navigation (通航) in mid-May and close in mid-October.25.

First there are the story aspects the plot,characters, dialogue and themes. Then there are the technical aspects the camera work, cuttings and special effects. And there are many other things, like the credits, musical score and the acting. Awell-made film offers much more than you see in one viewing (观看).Films are a means of communication. They can tell you things, just as newspapers do, or television,or any other means of communication. Sometimes they communicate important things to you, like ideasor lifestyles or ways of looking at the world. Sometimes people are aware of this, and sometimes not.The more you are aware of this, the better you are.Notice, for example, the way films sometimes affect fashion. A star dresses or wears her hair in a certain way, and suddenly everyone is imitating (模仿) her. Boys in the 1950s could sometimes be seen wearingblack leather jackets, idling (闲逛) on street corners and smoking cigarettes. They were imitating Marion Brando.His films taught them a certain way to behave.Films can also teach politics. In Star Wars, the heroes were a bunch of lovable incompetents (无能者) fighting with guts (胆量) and not much else. They were, in fact, rather like the British in the early days of WW II. Theirenemies, like the Nazis, had a big advantage in equipment and numbers of troops, and they were like the Nazis in discipline and heartlessness too. The whole film, in fact, was a re-run (重演) of WW II,and taught values like faith and love of liberty. This is all to the good, but the point is, did you notice it?29. The last underlined sentence in Paragraph 1 probably means _.A. viewers can enjoy lots of things if they see a well-made film again and againB. a well-made film always attracts a number of viewers more than one timeC. viewers usually know nothing about a well-made film but a good story themeD. a well-made film can help viewers understand well-known film stars better30.

What can we learn about from the film Star Wars according to the last paragraph?A. the WW II heroes. B. politics around the world.C. some great values. D. people loving world peace.DWhy do Americans struggle with watching their weight, while the French, who consume rich food, continue to stay thin? Now a research by Cornell University suggests how life style and decisions about eating may affect weight. Researchers conclude that the French tend (易于) to stop eating when they feel full. However, Americans tend to stop when their plate is empty or their favorite TV show is over.According to Dr. Joseph Mercola, a health expert, the French see eating as an important part of their life style. They enjoy food and therefore spend a fairly long time at the table, while Americans see eating as something to be squeezed (挤出) between the other daily activities. Mercola believes Americans lose the ability to sense when they are actually full. So they keep eating long after the French would have stopped. In addition, he points out that Americans drive to huge supermarkets to buy canned and frozen foods for the week. The French, instead, tend to shop daily, walking to small shops and farmers markets where they have a choice of fresh fruits, vegetables, and eggs as well as high-quality meats for each meal.After a visit to the United States, Mireille Guiliano, author of French Women Dont Get Fat, decided to write about the importance of knowing when to stop rather than suggesting how to avoid food. Today she continues to stay slim and rarely goes to the gym.In spite of all these differences, evidence shows that recent life style changes may be affecting French eating habits. Today the rate of obesity - or extreme overweight - among adults is only 6%. However, as American fast food gains acceptance and the young reject (拒绝) older traditions, the obesity rate among French children has reached 17% - and is growing.33.In what way are the French different from Americans according to Dr. Joseph Mercola?A. They go shopping at supermarkets more frequently. B. They regard eating as a key part of their life style.C. They squeeze eating between the other daily activities.D. They usually eat too much canned and frozen food.34. This text is mainly about the relationship between _.A. children and adults B. Americans and the FrenchC. life style and obesity D. fast food and overweight35. Where does this text probably come from?A. A health report B. A book review C. A TV interview D. A food advertisement第二节 (共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。How to Make FriendsFriendship is a very important human relationship and everyone needs good friends.
