They arrived at Bill"s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed pleasantly with a few laughs and some shared small talk, then both graduated from junior high school. They ended up in the same high school where they had brief contacts over the years. Finally the long awaited senior year came and three weeks before graduation, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.
Bill reminded him of the day years ago when they had first met. "Did you ever wonder why I was carrying so many things home that day?" asked Bill. "You see, I cleaned out my locker because I didn"t want to leave a mess for anyone else. I had stored away some of my mother"s sleeping pills and I was going home to commit suicide. But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if Ihad killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You saved my life.”

意思, 所以D为正确答案。
小题2:推理判断题。由最后一段中 “But after we spent some time together talking and laughing, I realized that if I had killed myself, I would missed that time and so many others that might follows.”可以推出Bill非常珍惜与Mark交往的那些日子。A,S,D三项文中均示涉及到。
小题3:推理判断题。由最后一段可知作者强调的是人与人之间的友谊和一颗好心。故A为正确答案。
小题4:细节理解题。由第一段中“he was having lots of trouble with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.” 最后一段中
“ I had stored away some of my mother"s sleeping pills and I was going home to commit
suicide(自***) ”可以判断B为最佳答案。
小题5:主旨大意题。本文主要讲述了Mark通过一件小事,无意中拯救了Bill的生命,说明友谊的重要性,哪怕是浅浅的一丝微笑,微不足道的行为,很简单举动,只要是善意的,都可能对别人产生莫大的鼓舞或动力,所以B为正确答案。

The meaning of the word “volunteer ” may be a little different in different countries, but it usually means “one who offers his or her services.” There are many different ways in which people can volunteer, such as taking care of sick people, working in homes for homeless children, and picking up garbage(垃圾) from beaches and parks. Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.
At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.
“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video(录像) about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school, I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta for a few weeks.”
“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer the up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture(文化) that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”
小题1:According to the text, a volunteer refers to a person who ______.
A.is willing to help those in need without pay | B.can afford to travel to different places |
C.has a strong wish to be successful | D.has made a big fortune in life |
A.after she met Mother Teresa |
B.after she finished high school |
C.when she was touring Calcutta |
D.when she was working in a hospital |
A.She liked to work with Mother Teresa. |
B.She had already had some experience. |
C.She was asked by Mother Teresa’s example. |
D.She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example. |
A.Going abroad to help the sick. |
B.Working in Mother Teresa’s home. |
C.Doing simple things to help the poor. |
D.Improving oneself through helping others. |
Audrey gained immediate prominence (成功) in the U.S. with her role in Roman Holiday in 1953. This film turned out to be a big success as she won an Oscar as Best Actress. This gained her enormous popularity and many more roles. Roman Holiday was followed by another similarly wonderful performance in the 1957 classic Funny Face (1957). In 1959, she received yet another nomination(提名) for her role in Nun’s Story. Audrey reached the top of her career when she played Holly Golightly in the film Breakfast at Tiffany’s in 1961. For this she received another nomination. One of Audrey’s most radiant(辉煌的) roles was in the fine production of My Fair Lady in 1964. Her co-star Rex Harrison once was asked to choose his favorite leading lady. Without hesitation, he replied, “Audrey Hepburn in My Fair lady”.
By the end of the sixties, after her divorce from actor Mel Ferrer, Audrey decided to retire while she was on top. Later she married Dr. Andrea Dotti. In 1988, Audrey became a special ambassador(大使) to the United Nations UNECEF fund helping children in Latin, American and Africa, a position she retained until 1993. Audrey Hepburn died on January 20, 1993 in Switzerland. She had made a total of 31 high quality movies.

Road politeness is not only good manners, but good sense too. It takes the most cool-headed drivers great patience to give up the desire to beat back when forced to face rude driving. On the other hand, a little politeness goes a long way towards reducing the possibility of quarrelling and fighting. A friendly nod or a wave of thanks in answer to an act of politeness helps to create an atmosphere of good will and calm so necessary in modern traffic conditions. But such behaviors of politeness are by no means enough. Many drivers nowadays don’t even seem able to recognize politeness when they see it.
However, misplaced politeness can also be dangerous. Typical examples are the driver who waves a child crossing the street at a wrong place into the path of oncoming cars that may be not able to stop in time. The same goes for encouraging old ladies to cross the road wherever and whenever they want to. It always amazes me that the highways are not covered with the dead bodies of these grannies.
An experienced driver, whose manners are faultless, told me it would help if drivers learnt to correctly join in traffic stream without causing total blockages that give rise to unpleasant feelings. Unfortunately, modern drivers can’t even learn to drive, let alone master the roadmanship. Years ago, experts warned us that the fast increase of the car ownership would demand more give-and-take from all road users. It is high time for all of us to take this message to heart.
小题1:According to the passage, troubles on the road are often caused by _______.
A.road conditions | B.the speed of modern life |
C.the behavior of the drivers | D.the large number of cars |
A.drivers should avoid traffic jams |
B.strict traffic rules are badly needed |
C.unskillful drivers should be punished |
D.drivers should show road politeness properly |
A.politeness and impoliteness |
B.good manners and bad manners |
C.offering help to others as much as possible |
D.willingness of each person to give in to each other’s wishes |
A.Road politeness | B.Traffic problems |
C.Bad manners on the road | D.Good divers and bad drivers |
We decided to organize a charity concert to raise money for tsunami-ravaged areas. All ticket earnings will go directly to our parent organization, the American Red Cross. Currently, we’re in the process of inviting Yale’s numerous song, dance, and chamber music groups to perform at the concert.
So far, we’ve had a great response from these groups and volunteers have continued to pour in with their ideas and feedback. When I checked my inbox this morning, I had 56 tsunami fundraiser-related emails waiting for me. Although, everyone is still on winter vacation and away from school, we have the Internet to link up Yalies from around the globe. We share ideas not on the latest video games, but on how best to provide help.
The Red Cross at Yale is not alone in its aid effort. Student organizations across campus are working hard to raise funds and provide help to those who need it.
Yale’s South Asian Society (SAS) and the Asian American Students Alliance (AASA), which is an umbrella organization for many other groups including the Sri Lankan Students Association, are organizing charity dinners.
The food will be donated(捐赠)by restaurants from around campus. Every last penny of the earnings will be donated to a non-profit organization providing aid to South Asia.
After some discussion with the SAS and AASA, our groups have decided to plan our two events together. Students can attend the benefit dinner then go to the charity concert. There is no doubt in my mind that both events will have a fantastic turnout.
小题1:What does the writer mainly talk about in this passage?
A.A charity concert to help tsunami victims. |
B.The efforts of the American Red Cross at Yale to help tsunami victims. |
C.The worldwide efforts to help tsunami victims. |
D.What the Americans do to help tsunami victims. |
A.ask them to offer help | B.inform them the latest news |
C.ask them to join in the concert | D.ask them to work for the Red Cross |
A. SAS and AASA.
B. The Red Cross at Yale and the American Red Cross.
C. The benefit dinner and the charity concert.
D. Raising funds and providing help.
小题4:Which of the following is NOT right?
A.Students were taking an active part in the activity |
B.The American Red Cross at Yale raised money for tsunami-ravaged areas by organizing a charity concert |
C.Other organizations are working hard to raise funds and provide help to those who need it. |
D.The tsunami happened in South America. |
Even though the pair, both from Arad, escaped the tsunami’ s anger, it did not change the fact that their parents were worried
“Our mothers worried a lot, ”says Koral. “They asked us to leave immediately and return to Israel. They offered to arrange flights, anything we wanted, just return. ”
Dana Kuchansky’ s father is also worried. Kuchansky, 28, and her partner were in Kofun, a small island hit hard by the tsunami. After a night spent on the top of the mountain in the center of the island, the two were taken for free to Bangkok, where they were expected to fly to Israel.
On the telephone, the worried father made sure his daughter received the replacement tickets lost in the tsunami 15 minutes later, he called her again, to remind her of the flight number.
Most of the Israelis visiting Thailand are young and on a limited budget. Their parents are used to having insufficient contact with their children. In most cases, this contact is when the phone call or the use of the Internet is cheap, even if the difference between "expensive" and "cheap" is less than 50 agorot, or cents.
In one case this past week, a mother called the mobile telephone of each of the six embassy(大使馆)staff in Thailand, one after the other. The same duty officer answered all six.
The common reaction of both parents and children, once telephone contact was made, was sobbing with relief that the ordeal(严峻考验)had left them unharmed.
小题1:According to the text, Narkis and Oren________.
A.called their friends to tell them what had happened |
B.had great fun even if they knew the tsunami had come |
C.knew nothing about the tsunami until their friends rang them up |
D.turned out calm in face of the tsunami |
A.Kuchansky and her partner had their tickets missing in the tsunami. |
B.All the parents mentioned are worried about their children’ s safety. |
C.Most embassy staff were too busy in their work to answer mobile phone calls. |
D.The parents of the young Israelis don’ t have enough time to contact their kids. |
A.unsuitable | B.not enough | C.unnecessary | D.irregular |
A.50 agorot is too little an amount for the ordinary Israelis |
B.as an official in charge, the mother made so many calls |
C.the writer may come from Israel rather than from some other country |
D.all the young couples traveling in Thailand remained safe and sound |
