The first Ml choir rehearsal(彩排)of the school year took place in the school hall. All the students joined together to sing. I watched as my elder sister and her grade came in and took their places next to us on the stage. Meanwhile, I could hear laughing. Some students were pointing at a girl standing next to my sister. I’d never seen this girl before. A girl whispered in my ear, “ Did you know she’s wearing diapers(紙尿褲）？”

After school that evening, I asked my sister about the girl I’d seen. She told me her name was Theresa and that she was a very nice girL .“ Why were those kids being mean to her? I asked, “Because they’re stupid，” she said.

One day, I was walking home from school when I heard voices behind me. “There’s the little idiot’s (傻子)sister. Does your sister wet her pants too?” I walked a little faster and then I felt a atone hit me in the back. When I got home, I ran down to my sister’s room.

I pushed my way into her room, screaming at her. “Why do you have to be that giri’s friend? I don’t see anyone else being nice to her, ” Janelle yelled back, Because she is a wonderful person and she is dying!” I will remember those words as long as I live. Theresa wet her pants because she had an illness, which was killing her. My sister was the only one nice enough to be her friend and stick up for her. A few months later, Hieresa passed away.

I felt proud that Janelle was my sister. Throughout the years I watched her, and she always made friends with everyone. It didn’t matter if they ware fat, thin, brilliant or not. She never left anyone feeling isolated or alone. It was she who changed me and taught me to never look at anyone in the same way again.

2.What was the turning point of the story?

C. Disadvantaged people need our sympathy.

請認(rèn)真閱讀下面短文, 從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個選項(xiàng)中, 選出最佳選項(xiàng), 并在答題卡上將該項(xiàng)涂黑。

A PRANK (惡作劇) is naughty behavior that is at most scolded if it gets too much. This is three Chinese students studying in California in the US described what they had done.

Zhai Yunyao, Yang Yuhan and Zhang Xinlei, all 19, called it a “prank” when they took their classmate Liu Yiran to a park where “Liu was … beaten, spat (吐痰) on, with cigarettes and forced to eat her own hair during a five-hour attack”, the Associated Press.

However, their “prank” in March 2015 was a crime in the US. The punishment was years in prison for kidnapping and assault (攻擊). Zhai was to 13 years in prison, Yang to 10 years and Zhang to six years on Feb 17. They will be sent back to China serving their sentences, reported The Los Angeles Times.

The bullying (欺凌) case has caused quite a discussion in China where school bullying is not 42 but is seldom considered a crime. According to a survey done by China Youth Daily in July last year, 73.3 percent of the 1,002 said they had experienced or seen bullying cases at school.

However, offenders (冒犯者) receive proper punishment. In most of the cases, offenders only get criticism from schools. Offenders under 14 have no criminal . Those aged between 14 and 16 usually get a light punishment only when they serious crimes like murder and rape (強(qiáng)奸), according to China’s laws.

“The articles about protecting minors (未成年人) have started to get punishing school bullies,” commented an article in Bandao Metropolis Daily. “Some bullies even use the laws as a shield (擋箭牌) for their violent .”

In , the US is quite tough on bullying.

A(n) of 46 of the 50 US states now have their own anti-bullying laws, according to the US Department of Education. Bullying, according to those anti-bullying laws, not only direct physical contact like hitting, but also verbal assaults like name-calling.

Also, judges in the US have the right to minor offenders as adults if the cases are serious or if they have criminal records.

China could learn from the US, its legal system to stop bullying, some people have suggested. Huang Zhiyuan, a procurator (檢察官) at the Henan People’s Procuratorate, advocated lowering the criminal age in Procuratorate Daily. Li Fangchao of China Daily advised China to make a anti-bullying law.

A more profound (深刻的) message the case showed to us is that “the common tolerant toward bullying should be changed”, commented Jiaxing Daily. “When teenagers do something wrong, we should tolerate and help them when necessary. But all of these have a limit.”
