24、请认真阅读下列短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

Many years ago， when I was in high school and working at weekends， I lost my wallet. That day， I needed to put gas in my car. I paid for the gas and then put my wallet on the front bumper(保险杠) and drove off. I didn't even have time to miss it when my phone rang. A man asked me if I had lost my wallet. I checked my bag and to my surprise， I had. He asked me to tell him what was in it. I did so. He then told me where to go to pick up my wallet.

As I drove to his house， I noticed the man's car. It was really special. I was thinking that there was no way this man could have easily got out of his car and got my wallet off the street. He had to pull over， get in his wheelchair， lower the lift， and then pick it up.

I thanked him like 10 times for finding my wallet. I didn't want to insult(冒犯)him by offering money but I really felt like offering something. So I asked him if there was anything I could do to repay his kindness， and he said， "Just pass it on". I said I would be certain to do that.

Well， one does not find many wallets and so it was about 10 years later that I found one. It took me several days to find the man to whom the wallet belonged. He lived in another state， about 60 miles away from where I found the wallet.

The young man was actually surprised that his money was still in the wallet and he tried to

hand me $20. I told him， "Thanks， but just pass it on."

【1】 The man who picked up the writer's wallet was   ·

A. humorous       B. disabled

C. creative     D. poor

【2】 What can we know from paragraph 3?

A. The writer gave the man some money.

B. The writer thanked the man many times.

C. The writer helped the man repair his car.

D. The writer promised not to lose anything.

【3】 Which is the best title for the passage?

A. Respect from Strangers   B. Listen to Your Heart

C. Love in a Wallet   D. Pass on Kindness

25、One night in December 2011, a bear came into the city of Vancouver in Canada. It walked through the streets, past houses, shops and offices until it found some food in bins outside a restaurant and started eating. In the morning, someone saw the bear and called the police. They came with a vet（兽医）from the city zoo, put the bear in a lorry and took it back to the mountains. Luckily, the bear was safe, but what happens in other countries when big animals come into cities?

In Cape Town, South Africa, baboons（狒狒）enter the city when they are hungry. They go into gardens and eat fruit from trees, or into houses and take food from cupboards（碗橱）and fridges. Baboons are strong animals and they can scare people. But the city can be dangerous for baboons too.

Sometimes, they are killed in traffic accidents. Human food is very bad for their teeth because it has a lot of sugar. Now, there are baboon monitors（监督员）working in Cape Town to return the animals to the countryside.

In Berlin, pigs sometimes come into the city to look for food. They eat flowers and plants from parks and gardens, and cause accidents in the streets. Some people like the pigs and they give them food and water to drink. Other people do not like the pigs and want the government and police to stop them.

In Moscow there are 35, 000 wild dogs. They live in parks, old houses, markets and train stations. Many people give them food and water. Some make small houses for the dogs in their gardens. This helps them in winter, when the temperature is一10℃ and there is a lot of snow and ice.

In some cities, you can see birds, insects, mice and squirrels every day. But sometimes, it is dangerous when big animals come from the countryside to find food. We need some good ideas to stop animals coming into the city without hurting them.

【1】Why do big animals go into cities, according to the article?

A. Because they are hungry. B. Because they are homeless.

C. Because they are lost. D. Because they like being with humans.

【2】In Vancouver, a bear came into the city on a night.

A. spring B. summer C. autumn D. winter

【3】Why should we stop animals from entering cities?

A. They often kill people in the streets.

B. They eat too much food in people’s gardens.

C. They may harm other animals in the city.

D. They may cause trouble and endanger people’s lives.

Bangkok is wonderful and surprising! The places are interesting.

We visited the famous market which was on water, and saw a lot of fruit and vegetables. Everything is so colourful, and we have taken hundreds of photos already! Later today we will leave for Chiang Mai. We will take the train north, stay in Chiang Mai for two days, and then catch a bus to Chiang Rai(清莱).

Friday, March 9th

Our trip to Chiang Rai was long boring. We visited a small village in the mountains. The village people here love the quiet life—no computers or phones. They are the kindest people I have ever met. They always smile and say “hello”. Kathy and I can only speak a few words of Thai, so smiling is the best way to show our kindness. I feel good here and hope to be able to come back next year.

27、“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne’s Devotion， written more than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a completely isolated life. Without other people， life became empty and sad. We all need friends.

For some of us， though making friends is not difficult， feeling shy， we may not want to make the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.

There are many books about friendship， but Dale Carnegie’s How to Win Friends and Influence (影响) People， written in 1936， is the most famous. This “how to” book about getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.

Dale Carnegie’s advice (劝告) seems to be simple， but can his advice help you? Do you need to change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.

1. Be friendly and polite.

Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”， when you want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.

2. Go out of your way to be nice.

Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour may seem like a little thing to you， but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.

3. Remember names.

They say that the sweetest music to a person’s ears is the sound of his or her own name.

4. Be open-minded.

Try to understand other people’s ways and ideas and learn something from them.

5. Listen patiently.

When someone is talking to you， look at him or her， listen carefully and say something when necessary.

【1】The underlined sentence “No one can live a completely isolated life” means “______” in this passage.

A. No one can live a hard life

B. No one can live without difficulty

C. No one can live alone

D. No one can live on an island

【2】Some of us feel it not easy to make friends because ________.

A. we are afraid to make bad friends

B. we are too shy to take the first action

C. we feel worried that we won’t be able to keep our friends

D. we feel sure that we already have enough friends

【3】We can learn from this passage that ________.

A. John Donne learned something from Dale Carnegie

B. friends are always friends

C. few people bought Carnegie’s book

D. the writer of this passage agrees with John Donne and Dale Carnegie

【4】 Which of the following is NOT mentioned (提及) in Carnegie’s book?

A. Say “excuse me” before you ask.

B. Don’t visit your neighbour too often.

C. Think more about others.  

D. People enjoy hearing their own names.

【5】The best possible title for this passage should be “________”.

A. How to Make Friends

B. A Famous Book

C. About Friendship

D. John Donne and Dale Carnegie

28、Dear editor,

Last week I 【1】 (visit) our zoo, and I was very surprised 【2】(find) hardly anyone there. Zoos are important places .They are like living textbooks for young people. They provide homes for many endangered animals and help to educate the public about 【3】(care) for them. If we 【4】(not support) our zoos, they 【5】(not have) enough money to take care of so many fine animals. I urge all of your readers to visit our wonderful zoo soon.

Sincerely,

Animal Friend

29、   “Look, it’s Baldy (秃子)!” A boy shouted in my direction across the playground. Even though  I was used to this kind of insults (侮辱) because of the scars (伤疤) on my head, it was still horrible to hear. I felt so sad as I headed back to the class.

When I was just 20 months old, I suffered serious burns after a bowl of hot oil fell on my head. I was rushed to hospital and had to stay there for weeks while the doctors fought to save my life. “Holly’s very lucky to be _______________,” they told Mum and Dad. “But she’ll be ________________ with scars on her head, and of course her hair won’t grow there.”

As a child, I cared much about my scars, so I usually wore a ________________ to cover them up when I left home. If I didn't, people would call me horrible names like Baldy. ________________ my friends were always comforting me, they never really understood how it felt.

Then through the hospital, I was introduced to a children’s burns camp, where children like me can get any help. There, I __________________ 14-year-old Stephanie, whose burns are a lot more serious than mine. But she is _________________ strong that she never lets anyone put her down. “You shouldn’t listen to what people say about what you look like because we’re not different from ________________ else, Holly,” she encouraged me. “And you don’t need to wear a scarf because you look great without it!” __________________ the first time in my life I could speak to someone who’d been through something similar. So weeks later, at my 13th birthday party, encouraged by her bravery, I _______________ up my scarf and showed off my scars. It felt amazing not having to hide away behind my scarf.

Now, I am _________________ of what I look like and much happier, because I have realized it is your personality that decides who you truly are.
