“OK, Mum,” sighed Miremba. She wanted to go to school. She didn’t want to fetch water. But her mother had no time to do that. She had to look after the younger children. “I wish we had a water well in the village,” Miremba said as she left her house.
On the way to the river, there were animals like tigers and bears. So Miremba usually walked to the river with her friend Akiki. That day while they were walking to the river, they met a snake. Their hearts beat like drums. Luckily, the snake didn’t hurt them and went away.
On their way home, Miremba asked, “Do you remember Miss Miller from England? She visited us last year.”
“Yes. She was very helpful and said she would try to get us a well,” answered Akiki. “Do you think she’s forgotten us?”
“Maybe,” sighed Miremba.
However, when Miremba and Akiki got home, they got a big surprise. There were some visitors in the village. Miss Miller had raised enough money and came to help them build a well here.
“Miss Miller does remember us!” said Miremba happily.
“We’re going to have a well! We’ll be able to go to school every day!” shouted Akiki.

Many people in the neighbourhood joined the students. Ms Evans said that the bank in their neighbourhood had to keep more pennies because so many people were collecting them.

46. 当别人陷入困境时,不要嘲笑别人。
Don’t ________ ________ others when they are in trouble.
【答案】 ①. laugh ②. at
【解析】
【详解】根据汉语提示和所给答题空可知,所缺部分为嘲笑,英语为“laugh at”;根据“Don’t...others when they are in trouble.”可知该句为否定祈使句,don’t后加动词原形,故填laugh;at。
47. 起初她很紧张,但我们很快使她平静了下来。

【答案】couldn’t help
【解析】
【详解】根据中英文提示可知,此处考查“忍不住做某事”的固定表达“can’t help doing sth.”;句子时态为一般过去时,主语“that little boy”是第三人称单数,所以“can”需用过去式“could”。故填couldn’t help。
49. 上个月50名学生参加了这个研究项目。

七、任务型阅读(本大题共5小题,每小题1分,每题词数不限,共5分)

In the early 19th century, many people in Britain were moving from the countryside to cities to work in factories. Life was difficult for these people. Most factory workers had to work long hours and lived in small rooms. They weren’t very happy with city life and missed their farms in the countryside.
Richard Vaughan Yates was a factory owner. He worried about his workers. So he decided to provide his workers with a green space near his factory in Toxteth in south Liverpool. There his workers could enjoy plants, just like they did in the countryside. He paid the famous gardener Joseph Paxton to build Britain’s first town park, Princes Park. And Princes Park opened in 1842. Then, the next year, Birkenhead, a town near Liverpool, paid Paxton to build another park, Birkenhead Park, and it opened in 1847. Finally, factory workers in Liverpool had places near their homes to relax after a hard day at work.
Soon other towns and cities in Britain learnt about Liverpool’s parks. By 1900, many big towns and cities in Britain had one park. The famous architect (建筑师) Richard Rogers said “parks are one of Britain’s great creations”. It’s hard to disagree with him. With parks, we can have a break from the stress (压力) of our lives. And that’s very important.

Cindy Evans works at Big Beaver Elementary School in Big Beaver, Pennsylvania. One day, she and her third-grade class read about the Great American Smokeout in Weekly Reader. The Smokeout is an event to help people give up smoking. The American Cancer Society runs it.
“We read that about 1 million people give up smoking each year,” said Ms Evans. Then her students asked her, “What does 1 million look like?” Ms Evans told her class the best way to see 1 million was to collect 1 million things.
“I was thinking about collecting 1 million small things like erasers,” said the teacher. But her students had a better idea: to collect 1 million pennies (分) and give them to the American Cancer Society. Soon the class started their big job.
Many people in the neighbourhood joined the students. Ms Evans said that the bank in their neighbourhood had to keep more pennies because so many people were collecting them.

In the early 19th century, many people in Britain were moving from the countryside to cities to work in factories. Life was difficult for these people. Most factory workers had to work long hours and lived in small rooms. They weren’t very happy with city life and missed their farms in the countryside.
Richard Vaughan Yates was a factory owner. He worried about his workers. So he decided to provide his workers with a green space near his factory in Toxteth in south Liverpool. There his workers could enjoy plants, just like they did in the countryside. He paid the famous gardener Joseph Paxton to build Britain’s first town park, Princes Park. And Princes Park opened in 1842. Then, the next year, Birkenhead, a town near Liverpool, paid Paxton to build another park, Birkenhead Park, and it opened in 1847. Finally, factory workers in Liverpool had places near their homes to relax after a hard day at work.
Soon other towns and cities in Britain learnt about Liverpool’s parks. By 1900, many big towns and cities in Britain had one park. The famous architect (建筑师) Richard Rogers said “parks are one of Britain’s great creations”. It’s hard to disagree with him. With parks, we can have a break from the stress (压力) of our lives. And that’s very important.
