He saw an old man who was very hungry. Shankar wanted to give him some food, but he did not have any food with him. So he continued on his way. On the way, he saw a fox who was very thirsty. He wanted to give him some water, but he did not have any water for himself. So he went on his way ahead. Then he saw a young man with a dog who wanted to make a fire but did not have wood. Shankar learned about his problem and gave some wood to him. In return, the man gave him some food and water. Now he went back to the old man and gave him some food. Then he found the fox and gave some water to him. The old man and the fox were very thankful for Shankar’s help. Then Shankar went on his way happily. Unluckily, one day Shankar fell down the hill. He was in pain but he couldn’t move and no one was there to help him. But the old man who he had helped before saw him, and quickly came and pulled him up the hill. Shankar had many wounds on his legs. The fox whom Shankar had given water to saw his wounds and quickly went to the forest and brought some herbs. The old man helped to put the herbs on Shankar’s wounds. After some time, Shankar got well. All were very happy that they were able to help each other. If you help others, then they will also help you. 4. What did Shankar carry when he walked through the forest? A. Wood. B. Food. C. Water. D. Herbs. 5. Who gave Shankar food and water? A. The old man B. The young man. C. The fox. D. The dog. 6. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “herbs” in Chinese? A. 鲜花 B. 野果 C. 药草 D. 毒虫 7. Which of the following could be the best title for the passage? A. Help each other B. A fox may help you C. Don’t believe the stranger D. Food and water are important C What should I eat for breakfast? Who should I go out with on weekends? What should I do if I miss the bus to school? What colleges should I apply for? Again and again Chinese kids ask these questions to their teachers and parents. They can't make their own choices. Kids in America would be very surprised to hear how much Chinese children depend on adults.When they are ten years old, kids decide what clothes they want to wear and buy.By twelve they know what classes to take for middle school.Thirteen years old is the beginning of being what Americans call a “teenager”.Now the child makes almost all his/her decisions — what to do after school;who are his/her friends, sometimes even when to come home at night. Finally at sixteen the kid usually gets a car from his/her parents. Now he or she can come and go when he/she likes.The only rule is when they come home at night. Why should kids be independent? Think about it. After high school most of us will be by ourselves. Will our parents be able to tell us what to eat for breakfast in college? Can our teachers decide what we should do at work? Making our own choices can be quite hard and scary. But we can start with making small choices,and then slowly make bigger and more important choices. Before we know it we will become independent, confident and able to make our own decisions! And we will have a lot more fun! 8. The first paragraph tries to tell the readers ________. A. Chinese kids don't know what to do B. Chinese kids always have many questions C. Chinese kids believe in their teachers and parents D. Chinese kids depend on adults very much 9. At what age can an American kid make most decisions by himself or herself？ A. Ten. B. Eleven. C. Twelve. D. Thirteen. 10. Which of the following is TRUE? A. Generally, American kids are more independent than their Chinese fellows. B. Chinese kids will more easily adapt (适应) themselves to society. C. American parents don't care for their children. D. A seventeen American young can do what he likes. 11. In the author's eyes, ________. A. dependence on adults is shameful in China B. independence from adults is worth encouraging C. kids have no ability to make a real choice D. making decisions is rather easy D I wish there would be a way to describe China in simple terms but that's impossible. For the most part Chinese people are friendly, easygoing and optimistic. They are curious and unusually patient and they are also the hardest-working people I have ever met. In China, family is everything. In my English classes when the students were asked what they would do if they only had a few hours to live, most students told me how they would spend their last few hours with their families and parents. Many times the subjects in the classes center on families and friends. I teach many students a year, talking to them freely. The cost of living here is very low compared with that of the US. The city of Xiang Fan I live in isn't large and I live better. Nonimported(非进口的)foods are very cheap, so are clothing and articles of everyday use. The cost of public transportation is very low, too. Chinese value education. However, it is reported that many children can't afford the expenses of schooling and are forced to leave school in some poor areas in China. But they organized Project Hope many years ago. It creates conditions for the poor children to go back to school. In my opinion, Project Hope is of great importance to the development of the rural education. When we read news of China in the west, rarely, if ever, will we see anything mentioned of the positive changes China has gone through. While it is true that economic miracles have not reached many areas of China, but we also have the same problems. When I am asked which country I consider better, China or the US, my answer has always been the same, “We are not worse or better than each other, we are only different.” 12. What does the author think of Chinese people? A. He thinks most Chinese people hardly work. B. He thinks most Chinese people are proud. C. He dislikes most Chinese people. D. He praises most Chinese people a lot. 13. What is the author doing in China? A. He is teaching English in a school. B. He is visiting the places of interest. C. He is studying in a college. D. He is on business. 14. What are NOT cheap in China in the author's opinion? A. Clothes and shoes made in China. B. Local foods. C. Imported foods. D. Public transportation tickets. 15. We can infer from the passage that the author thinks ________. A. the westerners have got to know China well B. the progress of China is seldom reported in the US. C. China's economic miracles have appeared everywhere D. the education in rural areas is never cared about in China 第三部分 语言运用(共两节，满分30分) 第一节(共15小题;每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中选出最佳选项 A little boy told his mother that there was a teacher-parent meeting in his school.

He went downstairs in a hurry and started to have his breakfast as quickly as possible. “Why are you in such a hurry, early bird?” Mum asked him. “We will have an English spelling test today, Mum”, Peter said, “Mr. White promised to offer prizes to those who get 100 scores. I’ve been studying the word list since last week. Although the words are difficult, I am well prepared for them.” Peter reviewed the spelling of each word once more carefully when dad drove him to school. At last, it was time for the students to have a test. “Responsibility,” Mr. White started. Peter wrote it on his test paper quickly and confidently. “The second word: literature,” Mr. White said. “So easy,” Peter thought. He quickly wrote the word down. Thirty words later, the test papers were collected by Mr. White. “I am to mark(评分) your papers now,” he told the class. After marking the test papers, Mr. White said, “Three of you won a prize today for excellent test scores. Peter, David and Mary got full marks on the spelling test!” Mr. White praised them. Meanwhile, he gave the three students each a dictionary. Peter’s was an English-Chinese dictionary—the one he liked best. Peter was so excited that he held it high when his classmates cheered. “This is my happiest moment”, Peter thought. After Mr. White gave the test paper back, Peter had a look at the words, feeling proud of his spelling. All of a sudden, the word “literature” confused him. It didn’t seem right. Peter began to compare them after taking out the word list. “L-I-T-E-R-A-T-R-U-E”, he whispered. He spelled it wrong. Paragraph 1. “What should I do?” Peter said to himself. ___________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2.

If I tell Mr. White one of my spelling words is wrong, I’ll have to give my prize back, or I will become an example for telling a lie”. Staring at the red sign “100%” which was written at his test paper, Peter was lost in thought. After a while, he remembered a lesson Mum used to teach him, “We ought to be an honest person.” Slowly, Peter raised his hand. “Mr. White, I didn’t get 100 percent on the test.” He stood up and handed his teacher the dictionary he liked best and his test paper. Peter could feel his classmates looking at him with surprise as he walked back to his desk. Mr. White held up Peter’s test paper. “Class,” he said, “Peter did something even more important than spelling every word correctly on a test.” Mr. White smiled at Peter. “He taught us all a lesson on being honest.” 第二节(共10小题;每小题1.5分，满分15分) 【38~47题答案】 【答案】38. which 39. is named 40. growth 41. best 42. to 43. the 44. picking 45. left 46. immediately 47. energetic 第1页/共1页 学科网（北京）股份有限公司 $$
