One day I walked down to get to my car, thinking about what I had to accomplish and scolding myself for being late for work, but surprisingly the car was nowhere to be found.
This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走）by cops (巡警).By around 10 a.m., the cops decided that it was actually stolen. After filing a report with them, I finally got to work thinking how my day was completely messed up.
Later in the day I went to pick up a rental car at Enterprise only to realize that my license was missing, too, along with my car. I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license. 1 was totally shocked. I did not know why this complete stranger would want to take some time off his day to help me. He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. I was upset the whole day because of the events happening to me but somehow this simple act of kindness from a complete stranger made it all worth it. It cheered me up and made me forget all the troubles of the day. I was so moved by this kind act that the next day I made sure someone else got a similar surprise. I took some smiley shaped chocolates and left them on some of my colleagues’ desks.
There is still a lot of goodness out there in the world. We just need to take the time to notice it. I hope that this story would inspire many others like me to do more acts of kindness.
小題1:The moment the author found the car missing, he thought ______.
A．it was stolen by a strangerB．it was towed by the police
C．he placed it in a wrong placeD．he should rent another one
小題2:We can infer that DMV is ______.
A．a(chǎn)n office for licenseB．a(chǎn) towing place
C．a(chǎn) renting placeD．a(chǎn) parking lot
小題3:Why did the author put some chocolates on his colleagues’ desks?
A．His colleagues were fond of chocolates.
B．He wanted to thank his colleagues.
C．He was touched and hoped to cheer others.
D．He wanted to do his colleagues a favor.
小題4:The author writes about his experience ______.
A．to criticize the person stealing his cars
B．to praise the rental place at Enterprise
C．to tell us a surprising but moving story
D．to encourage people to do acts of kindness

小題1:B
小題2:A
小題3:C
小題4:D

試題分析：文章介紹了主人公“我”遇到了一系列的煩心事兒，車被偷走了，去租車的時候又發(fā)現(xiàn)駕照沒了。我在好心人的幫助下重辦了駕照，而這位好心人與我素不相識，我被他的行為所感動。我要去激勵更多的人去做同樣的事情。
小題1:B考查細節(jié)理解。This was at 8 a.m. in the morning. I made trips to all the towing places and police stations, all the time thinking that it was towed (拖走）句意：那是早晨八點，我去了所有的拖車場和警察局，我一直以為車是被拖走了。由本句可知剛開始的時候我是以為車被拖走的，故答案為B。
小題2:A細節(jié)理解題。I told the enterprise guy the whole story and he offered to take me to the closest DMV and get a duplicate (副本) license.和He actually took me to DMV, got a duplicate and then rented me a car. 句意為：我告訴公司的人事情的原委，他主動提出來要帶我去最近的“DMV”辦一張駕照的副本，并且他最終幫我做了這件事。由此可知，DMV是辦駕照的政府機構。
小題3:C文章主旨題。文章的第三自然段最后幾句話，我被這個好心人對我的幫助感到很吃驚，同時我也希望能夠讓更多的人去享受這種吃驚。所以是我被這件事所感動去鼓舞更多的人做這種事情。
小題4:D大意理解題。作者寫出他的經(jīng)歷，是想讓這種美好的行為傳播開來，讓更多的人有這種善舉。

Robert Owen was born in Wales in 1771. At the age of ten he went to work. His employer had a large private library so Owen was able to educate himself. He read a lot in his spare time and at nineteen he was given the job of superintendent(監(jiān)工) at a Manchester cotton mill. He was so successful there that he persuaded his employer to buy the New Lanark mill in Scotland.
When he arrived at New Lanark it was a dirty little town with a population of 2,000 people. Nobody paid any attention to the workers' houses or their children's education. The conditions in the factories were very bad. There was a lot of crime and the men spent most of their wages on alcoholic drinks.
Owen improved the houses. He encouraged people to be clean and save money. He opened a shop and sold the workers cheap, well-made goods to help them. He limited the sale of alcoholic drinks. Above all, he fixed his mind on the children's education. In 1816, he opened the first free primary school in Britain.
People came from all over the country to visit Owen's factory. They saw that the workers were healthier and more efficient than in other towns. Their children were better fed and better educated. Owen tried the same experiment in the United States. He bought some land there in 1825,but the community was too far away. He could not keep it under control and lost most of his money.
Owen never stopped fighting for his idea. Above all he believed that people are not born good or bad. He was a practical man and his ideas were practical. "If you give people good working conditions," he thought, "they will work well and, the most important thing of all, if you give them the chance to learn, they will be better people."
小題1:For Owen, his greatest achievement in New Lanark was _____________.
A．improving worker's houses
B．helping people to save money
C．preventing men from getting drunk
D．providing the children with a good education
小題2:From the passage we may infer that Owen was born ___________.
A．into a rich familyB．into a noble family
C．into a poor familyD．into a middle class family
小題3:Owen's experiment in the United States failed because _______.
A．he lost all his money
B．he did not buy enough land
C．people who visited it were not impressed
D．it was too far away for him to organize it properly
小題4:We may infer form the passage that no children in Britain could enjoy free education until ____.
A．1771 B．1816 C．1825 D．1860

He held the blazing(點燃) matches to a piece of wood. After a while, he became aware that he could smell his hands burning. Then he began to feel the pain. He opened his hands, and the blazing matches fell on to the snow. The flame went out in a puff of gray smoke.
The man looked up. The dog was still watching him. The man got an idea. He would kill the dog and bury his hands inside its warm body. When the feeling came back to his fingers, he could build another fire. He called to the dog. The dog heard danger in the man's voice. It backed away.
The man called again. This time the dog came closer. The man reached for his knife. But he had forgotten that he could not bend his fingers. He could not kill the dog, because he could not hold his knife.
The fear of death came over the man. He jumped up and began to run. The running began to make him feel better. Maybe running would make his feet warm. If he ran far enough, he would reach his friends at Henderson Creek. They would take care of him.
It felt strange to run and not feel his feet when they hit the ground. He fell several times. He decided to rest a while. As he lay in the snow, he noticed that he was not shaking. He could not feel his nose or fingers or feet. Yet, he was feeling quite warm and comfortable. He realized he was going to die. Well, he decided, he might as well take it like a man. There were worse ways to die. The man closed his eyes and floated into the most comfortable sleep he had ever known.
The dog sat facing him, waiting. Finally, the dog moved closer to the man and caught the smell of death. The animal threw back its head. It let out a long, soft cry to the cold stars in the black sky.

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.
John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said.
Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “Good dinner, mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never mistake a person’s clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside. 
小題1:What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?
A．The coat looked like a magical coat.
B．They were good at shopping.
C．The coat was a real bargain.
D．They had the same taste in clothes.
小題2:What does the underlined word “grin” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A．A wide smile.B．A worried look.
C．A jealous spirit.D．A joking tone.
小題3:After John wore the new coat, the author found he _______.
a. was happier and better-behaved
b. received more praise from his teachers
c. was willing to follow suggestions
d. made rapid progress in study
e. would say sweet words to please her
A．a(chǎn), b, cB．a(chǎn), c, eC．b, d, eD．c, d, e
小題4:What message does the author intend to deliver in the article?
A．We should not judge people by their appearance.
B．Life is full of possibilities when we are young.
C．It’s beneficial to try different things in our lives.
D．What we wear could help shape who we are inside.

NEW YORK— Picking a Christmas tree takes most people a few minutes, or a couple of hours if they head for the woods. Dave Murbach needs 11 months.
Almost every day of every year, Murbach’s thoughts turn to vision of a perfectly shaped evergreen tree that will take everyone's breath away.
Murbach is the man responsible for finding the towering tree that makes more attractive Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
“I'm always looking for a tree,” the center's chief gardener says. “I look for it even when I go to the beach in the summer. It' s like a homework assignment hanging over your head.”
And if he gets it wrong, there's nothing hiding it.
“Every day it's up, 400,000 people go by, and 2.5 million people watch the lighting celebration on television,”he says.
This year’s tree, a 74-foot Nomy spruce (云杉) from Richfield, Ohio, flown to New York on the world's largest cargo plane, was lighted on December 2.
The arrival of the tree leads in the Christmas season in New York — a tradition dating back to 1931, when the workers building Rockefeller Center put up a small tree with ornaments (裝飾品). 
The search for the next year's tree starts soon after the old tree is chopped up for wood chips and horse-jumping logs.
Murbach has three standards: The tree must be at least 65 feet high, at least 35 feet across and leaves dense (密集的) enough not to see through.
That's not as simple as it sounds. Though forests are full of evergreens, few get enough sunlight or space to fill out. And branches in snow regions often break under the weight, making trees unbalanced.
Back at the office, he sorts through hundreds of letters from people offering their trees, many addressed simply to “Mr. Christmas Tree Man.”
Though there was occasional anxiety attack and sleepless night, Murbach knows the effect the tree has on people: “It's for bringing people together, attempting to bring together people you love. That's what I hope it sets off.”  But Murbach says he's always too worn out to celebrate Christmas.
小題1: Which is the correct order of the events in the passage?
a. Murbach’s thoughts turn to a perfectly shaped tree.
b. 2.5 million people watch the Christmas tree.
c. The tree is flown to New York.
d. It was lighted on December 2.
e. The tree is chopped up.
f. Murbach searches for the tree.
A．a(chǎn), b, c, d, e, f B．c, d, b, f, e, a
C．c, d, e, b, a, f D．a(chǎn), f, c, d, b, e
小題2: Murbach spends a lot of time         that are exhibited in Manhattan’s Rockefeller Center each Christmas season.
A．taking care of Christmas trees
B．deciding on the perfect evergreens
C．sorting the letters from people
D．deciding the TV programs
小題3: Why does Murbach take his job seriously?
A．Because he wants everyone to be happy with his choice.
B．Because he hopes to make everybody unable to breathe.
C．Because he enjoys showing off.
D．Because he wishes to attract people's attention to himself.
小題4: According to Murbach' s standard of trees, the best tree must_______ .
A．be evergreen
B．have lots of space between their branches
C．be tall enough not to see through
D．be equally balanced
小題5: What kind of person do you think Murbach is?
A．A person always ignoring his family.
B．A person full of love.
C．A person devoted to his work.
D．A person with great anxiety.

On Jan 23, 2012, I was aboard a ship on the Yangtze River, listening to the sound of fireworks and eating plate after plate of dumplings.
On Sunday Feb 10, 2013, I was preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year again – in London’s Chinatown.
It was raining. It was cold. But ever since I left Beijing in August, I had promised myself I would celebrate Chinese New Year – if only to help with my Beijing “homesickness”.
Central London was dressed up for the occasion. There was a stage for a big fireworks display for the evening. Even so, it wasn’t like my real Beijing chunjie.
Even buying a baozi didn’t cheer me up. It cost about 10 times as much as the real thing does in Beijing and got stuck to its rain-ruined paper bag.
Cold, wet and depressed, I ran into a shop for shelter. Suddenly, there it was. Between the packets of dried meat and fish, the bags of rice and the smell of dried noodles in this little Chinese supermarket, I had found home.
An hour later, I hurried into my house with bags of frozen jiaozi, packets of sauce and a large bottle of vinegar. I boiled water, tore open the packets, grabbed my chopsticks and settled down to a feast. This, I thought, is a Happy Chinese New Year.
I even watched the fireworks on TV. After all, why face the British weather when I can bring China home in one bite?
小題1: We can conclude from the first three paragraphs that the author ______.
A．likes watching fireworks on the boat
B．misses Chinese food more than anything else
C．finds it great fun to celebrate Chinese New Year
D．misses her life in Beijing very much
小題2:How did the author feel when she found some Chinese foods in a supermarket?
A．a(chǎn) little curious B．rather tired
C．a(chǎn) bit comfortable D．very depressed
小題3:Why did the author watch the fireworks on TV?
A．She didn’t want to get wet and cold again.
B．The square is far away from where she lives.
C．She doesn’t like fireworks very much.
D．She was too hungry to go out.
小題4:What is the best title of the passage?
A．Unforgettable Chunjie in Beijing B．Wonderful Experience in Britain
C．Finding Home in London D．Festival in London
