Passing Your Love On
Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind  36  your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only  37  seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏繃帶）, a black-and-blue face, and a sad  38 . “No way am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I  39  to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She had been in a car accident and  40  was on her way for  41 .
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to  42  that Kathy would not be able to  43  herself. I considered  44  to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too  45  to offer a service to a  46 . But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more  47  than my discomfort. I offered to help her eat, and  48  she was uncomfortable to accept, she  49  as I expected. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had  50 , and the time was really  51  spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached  52  my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love  53  flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us  54 . When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live  55  a larger and more rewarding world.

小題1:考查動詞。根據(jù)下一句可知空姐想讓作者“換”座位。本段最后部分提到還有一個空座，也是暗示。
小題2:考查形容詞。本段開頭部分提到作者很高興自己找到了一個座位，再結(jié)合本句中的only一詞可判斷這是唯一剩下的座位。
小題3:考查名詞。根據(jù)上一句的描寫可知作者不愿意和這么一個女孩坐在一起，所以第一反應(yīng)是想讓自己坐在那個地方“沒門兒”。
小題4:考查動詞。作者最終改變了初衷，“決定”坐在那個座位上。前面提到作者最初不想那么做，因此B項不恰當(dāng)。作者并沒有自己事先承諾，所以最后一項不正確。
小題5:考查副詞。句中的now指的是當(dāng)時的時間，而女孩是在此之前出的車禍，所以用過去完成時。
小題6:考查名詞。根據(jù)上一段中對她的描寫可推斷她此行的目的是“治療”。
小題7:考查動詞。作者很快就“意識”到她由于胳膊上打著繃帶，不能自己吃東西。A項表示“知道”，語意不恰當(dāng)；recognize表示“認出”，語句不通順。
小題8:考查動詞。她不能給自己“喂”東西，下一句中的feed her也提供了暗示。A項有一定的干擾性，但根據(jù)juice一詞可知應(yīng)該用drink，而不是eat，所以此項不太恰當(dāng)。
小題9:考查動詞。offer to do sth表示“主動提出做某事”，下文中的“I offered to help her eat...”也提供了線索。
小題10:考查形容詞。作者認為這么做似乎“沒有禮貌”。喂食物理應(yīng)靠近，所以C項不合理；前面提到食物端上來之后，作者意識到她無法吃東西才決定幫她，并不是一見面就想提供幫助，因此D項不恰當(dāng)。
小題11:考查名詞。作者和她只是萍水相逢。文中沒有交代作者的性別，因此難以確定是性別差異引起的尷尬；作者本身也是“乘客”，所以C項不正確。
小題12:考查形容詞。她的需要比自己的不適更“重要”。A項表示“非同尋常的”，指的是與以往不同，語意不恰當(dāng)。
小題13:考查連詞。此處是讓步狀語從句，表示“雖然”。即盡管她感覺接受別人的照顧不舒服，但還是順從了。
小題14:考查動詞。此處did代指accepted，為了避免用詞重復(fù)。
小題15:考查動詞。作者為能幫助別人而內(nèi)心感到無比“溫暖”。下一段中的love一詞也提供了暗示。cheer表示“歡呼”，語意不太恰當(dāng)。
小題16:考查形容詞。結(jié)合本句中的the five­hour trip可知強調(diào)的是“時間”。自己坐在座位上不需要花費“能量；精力”。
小題17:考查介詞。my comfort zone指的是my seat，即作者原來的座位。上文提到作者離開了自己的座位，坐到了另外一個地方，所以用beyond，表示“在……另一邊”。
小題18:考查副詞。作者字里行間是對自己的做法表示肯定，前三項都表示否定意義，可排除。
小題19:考查形容詞。that keep us separate是定語從句，修飾先行詞fears。由于恐懼，我們無法進行溝通，被這堵無形的墻“分開”。此處與borders相呼應(yīng)。
小題20:考查副詞。當(dāng)我們“跨越”恐懼的界限，伸出溫暖的雙手時，就可以生活在一個更廣闊的世界中。happen to do sth表示“碰巧發(fā)生某事”，不符合語意；D項在文中沒有信息支持。

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 totals for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.
I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him.
“I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” he said. “Thank you very much!”
When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.
“Oh, gosh! Long time.”
“Are you in school now?” I asked.
He nodded.
“That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”
He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”
小題1:What was the author’s first impression of the boy?
A．He seemed to be poor and greedy.
B．He seemed to have suffered a lot.
C．He seemed younger than his age.
D．He seemed good at bargaining.
小題2:The second time the author met the boy, the boy ______.
A．told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts
B．wanted to express his thanks
C．a(chǎn)sked him for money for his schoolbooks
D．tried to take advantage of him
小題3:Why did the author give his money to the boy?
A．Because he had enough money to do that.
B．Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.
C．Because he held a higher position in the society.
D．Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.
小題4:Which of the following best describes the boy?
A．Brave and polite.B．Kind and smart.
C．Honest and thankful.D．Shy and nervous.

Kites have been around for a long time.The Chinese invented kites over 2000 years ago. A determined man named Mo Zi had an idea as he watched hawks(鷹) fly. He spent three years making a wooden hawk“kite”. It broke after one flight! Mo Zi and his Chinese friends did not give up. Soon they perfected the art of creating kites.
Kites became part of many Chinese festivals. Pictures of kites were also on vases and in paintings. But kites were meant to fly in places other than China! Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century and brought kites back to Europe with him. Europeans loved them, and the art of kiting“took off”!
Many kites have stories behind them. One Chinese novel, called Journey to the West, was written around 1400 AD. In the story, a priest(僧侶) traveled with three students. One student was a monkey. The second student was a man with pig ears. The third student was a former river monster. These characters often appear on Chinese kites. Another splendid Chinese kite is the dragon kite. A dragon kite is made of many round discs strung together. Often the dragon is bright red, with fat horns and white teeth. The dragon is the king of beasts in Chinese myths. It represents goodness, even though it looks scary. Two kinds of kites have pictures of birds on them. One kite is called the phoenix(鳳凰) bird kite. The phoenix bird symbolizes peace. Another kite shows the red-headed crane. The crane represents happiness, good fortune, and a long life.
Kites come in all shapes and sizes. Flat or bowed kites have a simple shape, such as a diamond or a rectangle(長方形). Delta(三角形) kites are triangular. Rokkaku kites are six sided and often bear a striking image. Sometimes these kites“flight”each other until one kite drops from the sky. The other kite then wins the“battle”.
小題1:Who introduced Chinese kites to Europe?
A．A foreigner from Europe.
B．Three students in Journey to the West.
C．The priest in Journey to the West.
D．A Chinese artist.
小題2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The novel Journey to the West mainly talks about the art of kiting.
B．The characters in the novel Journey to the West are often painted on kites.
C．The dragon kite represents happiness, good fortune and a long life.
D．A phoenix bird is a main character in the novel Journey to the West.
小題3:Which statement expresses an opinion rather than a fact?
A．Kites became part of many Chinese festivals.
B．There are many different kinds of kites.
C．The dragon kite is the most splendid Chinese kite.
D．Kites were invented 2000 years ago.
小題4:Which kind of kite is NOT used to fight“battles”in the air?
A．Flat.B．Delta.C．Dragon.D．Rokkaku.

While applying to college may seem easy, getting in can be tough! When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit. Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.
Step l: Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
With over 6,000 colleges in the United States, the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list .This process will be different for everyone. The number of colleges you apply to can vary, from applying  to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended),each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to. Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.
Step2: Splitting The List Into Target, Reach and Safety Schools
In general, students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target, Reach and Safety schools. It is up to you how many applications you send, but a good mix would be more target than reach, and at least one safety. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success. Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.
Step 3: Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications! College applications take time to complete —you have to write essays, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools—so stay organized！ All colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December. Once you complete and send them, then you have successfully applied to college.
小題1:It can be learned from the first paragraph that_____________.
A．you should be cautious to pick up the right college
B．you don't have to think twice before applying to college
C．once you apply to a college, you'll be admitted to it easily
D．each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal
小題2:To make a list of colleges, you____________.
A．should consider more Safety schools
B．had better take your academy into account
C．a(chǎn)re supposed to choose merely one most fit
D．a(chǎn)re required to pick out more than 30 colleges
小題3:Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A．One should clarify the list according to one's abilities.
B．Refer to admissions counselor at high school if necessary.
C．One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college.
D．Teachers' recommendations are included in application materials.
小題4:We can conclude from the text that____________.
A．each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free
B．the more college one chooses, the more successful he will be
C．a(chǎn)pplicants should send required materials before the deadline
D．safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements
小題5:The text is mainly about____________.
A．how to succeed in life
B．how to apply to college
C．how to ask for information
D．how to do a research in college

Loneliness is all about feeling isolated, but it's actually quite common. In general, there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. It is the most common type but usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, such as, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is chronic (the opposite of “temporary”). Being the most severe, it usually lasts for more than two years and is often connected with serious illnesses.
An important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts. Through social contacts, we get emotional support and guidance from our parents and teachers and share similar interests and activities with our friends. However, some lonely people almost make no contacts with people around them and feel apart from those who they supposedly know well. They just see themselves as outsiders. On the other hand, some lonely people may have enough social contacts, but they rarely enjoy the contacts and question their popularity, thinking of themselves as someone powerless. So loneliness is closely related to the quality of those social relationship in addition to the quantity.
Loneliness is tough, but something can be done to cope with it. First, take time to accept that you are suffering from loneliness. Then, contact your old friends or visit relatives to spend quality time with others. Besides, pick up a hobby to reduce your feelings of loneliness, such as taking up needle work, joining craft classes, or attending lectures. You can also beat loneliness by volunteering at a nursing home, hospital, church or pet rescue organization. This not only helps you get in touch with people from all walks of life, but also makes you feel good about yourself. In a word, if you take a correct attitude towards loneliness and get involved with people around you, you are sure to get over it.
Loneliness
Loneliness is quite common.
Ⅰ.    1  
●Temporary loneliness: disappearing quickly and requiring    2  
●Situational loneliness: resulting from some particular situation,    3   and
lasting not more than one year
●   4  : lasting more than two years and being connected with serious illnesses
Ⅱ. An important factor in loneliness:    5  
●Lack social relationship quantity: feeling disconnected with others
treating themselves as    6  
●Lack    7  : questioning their popularity
treating themselves as powerless people
Ⅲ.    8   for lonely people
●Face the problem and accept it
●Contact    9   for quality time
●Pick up hobbies
●   10  
Taking a correct attitude and getting involved with others, people are sure to get over loneliness.

Balzac was good at buying things at its lowest price. One day he wanted to buy a vase in a shop window that was much more expensive than he could offer. Not being able to make the shopkeeper cut down its price very much, he left without further talking. Collecting a half dozen of his friends, he explained his wish to them and they worked a plan. The first would enter the shop and make an offer, lower than the marked price. Not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out. Shortly after another would enter and ask for a price lower than the first. In this way, each of the others would offer a price lower than the one before, and the last of his friends made a great effort to attempt to get it at the lowest price. Before long Balzac himself would return, offer more than the last two or three persons made and trust to luck. The plan worked--- Balzac got the vase at his price!
