B ①A few years ago, my young sons, Sam, Jerry and Alex, joined in a bike competition in a town far from our home. As their father was busy, I drove them to the competition. ②We were quite new to the town and didn’t know anyone there. But soon after arriving, a friendly woman came to me. While waiting for the competition to end, we talked happily. Her name was Bev and she was there with her sons Jim and Carl. Unluckily, in the last race, my youngest son, Alex, had an accident. He cried and cried, so I ran to him. He broke his arm badly. Just before I decided to take Alex to hospital, I saw a familiar (熟悉的) face. It was Bev. Although we still hardly knew each other, she knew I was scared by the accident and was worried about having two other children to care for in an unfamiliar town. ③“You go with him to the hospital,” Bev said. “I’ll take the other two home with my boys. Here is my phone number. I live not far from the town hospital.” ④Bev is like an angel (天使). I will never forget her kindness in taking care of my two other children so that I could give my injured (受伤的) child the best care. ⑤Our friendship (友谊) started that day, and will last forever. 4.

He fought with others. D. He broke his leg. 6. What can you learn from Paragraphs②and③? A. Bev took Alex and Jerry to her home. B. Bev gave the writer her QQ number. C. Bev sent Jim and Carl to the competition. D. The writer knew the town very well. 7. Why does the writer write this text? A. To tell us a story of the five boys. B. To show us how clever Alex was. C. To tell the story between the writer and Bev. D. To tell something about the bike competition. C My parents hardly let me ask for help, so I trained myself to do things just by myself. I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people. A few days ago, I was on a trip. To save money, I planned to stay in someone’s house. When arrived in the house owner’s city, it was raining hard. My host was very friendly. She invited me to take a walk around her city. But I didn’t have the right shoes for the bad weather. I wondered if she had any shoes for me, but finally, I said nothing. It was really cold outside and the heavy rain made my shoes wet. When we got home three hours later, I had lost feeling in my feet. That was all because I wouldn’t ask a simple thing like, “Could you find a pair of good shoes for me?” From that day on, I tried hard to overcome(克服) the fear to ask. It took me a long time. I’ve found that people are always happy to offer help. What’s more, asking isn’t a sign of weakness. Asking gives you the chance to find the kindness of others. Go to ask someone. The worst answer is just “no” while the best answer is an experience you’ll never forget. 8. What should the writer be in his parents’ eyes? A. Talented. B. Clever. C. Independent. D. Careful. 9. In Paragraph 2, why did the writer say nothing in the end? A Because the host didn’t have any good shoes for him. B. Because the writer didn’t want to cause trouble for the host. C. Because the host told the writer not to borrow anything from her. D. Because the writer thought it was not necessary. 10. What happened to the writer after the trip? A. The writer learned a lesson from the trip. B. The writer bought himself some warm shoes. C. The writer was still afraid to talk with others. D. The writer spent a long time helping poor people. 11. What does the writer want to tell us? A. Helping others is always a good thing. B. Don’t go outside on rainy and windy days. C. Don’t be afraid to ask for help if you are in trouble. D. Always ask for help,never try to make it by yourself. D ①We spend most of our time with friends who we like. Well, who would stay with a person one doesn’t like? What kind of people are welcomed by others, then? ②There are many attractive (有吸引力的) people around you. By being with them just once, you start to like them. If you wonder why they attract people and want to be a person like them, you should learn how to develop the traits (特点) that they have. ③Firstly, everybody wants to be happy, and nobody wants to spend their time with a sad person. Well, you see, there is what you call mood linkage (联系). If you are with a jolly person, you are more probably to be glad. When people choose to spend time with a person, they are more likely to choose those who are cheerful. So if you are a happy person, many people will want to spend their time with you. ④Next, everybody needs someone to give encouragement (鼓励) to them, because sometimes in our lives we experience failure (失败), sadness, problems and other bad things. So if you always choose to cheer others up with encouraging words or actions, they will be willing to spend time with you. ⑤Lastly, you are not a friend if you don’t lend a hand to your friends when they need help. You should always be helpful to them, no matter what it costs, because when you need help, they will be there for you, too. ⑥It feels good if people want to be your friends because of your character. So if you want to attract friends, I suggest you learn to develop these traits. 12 What writing skill does the writer use in Paragraph One? A. Telling a story to interest readers. B. Asking questions to introduce the topic. C. Showing what popular people are like. D. Comparing two different kinds of friends. 13. Which of the following shows the right structure of the passage? (①= Paragraph 1,...) A. B. C. D. 14. What does the underlined word “jolly” in Paragraph 3 probably means? A. Happy. B. Sad. C. Excited. D. Upset. 15. What’s the best title for the passage? A. How To Be An Attractive Person B. How To Introduce The Traits Of Oneself C. How To Live A Happy Life D. How To Find A Real Friend 阅读下面材料，从方框中所给的A-E五个选项中选出正确选项 (其中一项是多余选项)，将其序号填入第1-4 小题，并回答第5小题。 Mike, the host of “Discover Nature” program, is having an interview with Mr. Wilson, a famous food scientist on honey. Mike: Good morning, dear friends. Today, we are happy to have the famous food scientist Mr. Wilson with us. Welcome! Mr. Wilson: Hello, everyone. It’s a pleasure to be part of this program. Mike: It’s reported that scientists found pots of honey in Tutankhamen’s tomb (图坦卡蒙墓) in ancient Egypt and the honey was still sweet and eatable. That’s really amazing! ____16____ Mr. Wilson, could you explain it to us? Mr. Wilson: Sure. There are three main reasons: Firstly, most bacteria (细菌) can’t grow in honey because it’s acidic (酸性的). The acid in honey kills any bacteria trying to grow in it. Mike: That makes sense. What’s next? Mr. Wilson: Secondly, honey is high in sugar. It is made of 80% sugar. ____17____ Mike: Got it! And what about the third one? Mr. Wilson: ____18____ Bacteria need water to survive and grow, so it’s impossible for bacteria to survive in honey. Mike: Amazing! Now, I’m curious why Tutankhamen liked honey. Mr. Wilson: Ancient people loved honey. ____19____ Ancient Egyptians used honey to treat wounds, burns or skin diseases. Since bacteria didn’t easily grow in it, the honey could be used in a way similar to a bandage (绷带). It protected the skin while it healed. Mike: Great insights! Thanks for sharing with us. That’s the end of Discover Nature. A. Honey is low in water. B. Why didn’t the honey go bad? C. It was not easy for bees to make honey. D. Sugar can last for a very long time without going bad. E. It was not only delicious but also useful as medicine. Do you like honey? Why or why not?
