Because the line would be so long, there were many special taxis that would come by and offer to take people home without waiting so long, but the price was so high that not everyone could afford it every day.
One day, I worked overtime. When my work was done, it was 9 pm. There was no public transport and I felt so tired that I wanted to return home quickly to have a good sleep. So I took one of these kind of taxis. When I arrived, the driver didn’t ask me to pay and he just did it as an act of kindness. He said that he didn’t ask those who took his taxi after 9 pm to pay. His father had done it before and he found it such a nice thing to do that he decided to continue it himself.
I felt so touched by his words. There were no words for me to express how thankful I was. He made me feel so good during the following days because of that free ride.
I decided to do acts of kindness myself which might have the same influence on me as this one had.

Huang worked in a village school in Guizhou. On an autumn night 35 years ago: a mother of two children came to Huang’s home and asked for help because she couldn’t afford her son’s and her daughter’s tuition (学费). Without thinking twice, Huang promised to help her. Although he needed to feed his family of seven, he began to sponsor (资助) the children until they finished college.

Huang also advised both people he knew and those he didn’t know in Tongzi County to help his students.
So far, Huang has raised over 2.8 million yuan, helping more than 1,500 students realize their dream of getting an education. Over 400 of these students have finished their college education and another 100 are now studying at colleges.

【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了贵州乡村教师Huang Jinlong几十年如一日,不仅自己倾囊资助贫困学生,还积极筹集社会资金,帮助众多学子实现求学梦想,甚至在退休后依然坚持爱心奉献的感人故事。
【11题详解】
根据第二段划线词所在句“…a mother of two children came to Huang’s home and asked for help because she couldn’t afford her son’s and her daughter’s tuition.”可知,这位母亲来寻求帮助是因为她无法应对儿女的“学费”,由此推断她是没有钱来支付费用,所以“afford”在此处的语境含义为“有足够的钱支付”。
【12题详解】
根据第三段“Through writing letters, Huang called on caring people to help those children.”可知,Huang通过写信呼吁爱心人士帮忙,即①正确;根据同段末尾“Huang also advised both people he knew and those he didn’t know…to help his students.”可知,他还去劝说认识和不认识的人来帮助他的学生,即③正确。文中并未提及他提供免费课程或亲自拜访爱心人士。
【13题详解】
根据第四段中的具体数据“raised over 2.8 million yuan, helping more than 1,500 students…Over 400 of these students have finished their college education…”可知,筹集超过280万元、帮助1500多名学生以及400多人完成大学学业等庞大数字,直观且有力地说明了Huang帮助了许许多多的学生。
【14题详解】
根据最后一段“Huang retired in 2006, but he has never stopped caring for students. This March, he organized a volunteer team to help disabled students.”可知,Huang虽然在2006年就退休了,但他从未停止对学生的关爱,今年三月还组织了志愿者队伍帮助残疾学生。这表明他将奉献进行到底的决心。因此,D选项“我将继续帮助有需要的学生”作为他想表达的心声契合语境。
【15题详解】
纵观全文,文章的核心人物是乡村教师Huang Jinlong,主要事迹是他通过自身资助与社会筹款,帮助上千名贫困学生交上学费,用实际行动托起了孩子们的求学梦。B选项“一位老师,一位筑梦人”高度概括了文章的主人公身份及其伟大贡献。
D
I used to live in an area where the public transportation (公共交通) was not very good. If I came back home after 7 pm, I would have to wait in line for about an hour before I was able to take public transport or taxis. Because the line would be so long, there were many special taxis that would come by and offer to take people home without waiting so long, but the price was so high that not everyone could afford it every day.
One day, I worked overtime. When my work was done, it was 9 pm. There was no public transport and I felt so tired that I wanted to return home quickly to have a good sleep. So I took one of these kind of taxis. When I arrived, the driver didn’t ask me to pay and he just did it as an act of kindness. He said that he didn’t ask those who took his taxi after 9 pm to pay. His father had done it before and he found it such a nice thing to do that he decided to continue it himself.
I felt so touched by his words. There were no words for me to express how thankful I was. He made me feel so good during the following days because of that free ride.
I decided to do acts of kindness myself which might have the same influence on me as this one had.

【36题详解】
句意:在一个寒冷的冬日午后,Susan正从超市走回家。根据“On a cold winter afternoon”及下文“She was feeling...”可知,应用过去进行时,表示过去某个时间点正在进行的动作,主语Susan为第三人称单数,所以填was walking。
【37题详解】
句意:她感到有点累,因为她提着购物袋。此处指购物袋,应填shopping,“shopping bags”意为“购物袋”。

Dear Emma,
Your problem is like a circle. The harder you study, the ____46____ (little) time you have to make friends and the less ____47____ (friend) you look to your classmates. The fewer friends you have, the harder you study to make ____48____ (you) feel better.
Try to break this bad circle. Perhaps you are afraid ____49____ (meeting) new people, because you are too shy or too serious. But you are actually not. Everyone has a fun side in his or her character. Push your shy side away and show your classmates how fun you can be.
Look at your classmates. ____50____ (be) there any people with whom you feel you have a lot in common?
____51____ (one), smile at your classmates. Do this as often as ____52____ (you) can, until your classmates become used to your smile and smile in return.
Next, talk to your classmates. Do this between classes or during your lunch break. You may find it easier ____53____ (start) by ____54____ (talk) to people when they are alone.
Perhaps you could ask a classmate about your studies. They are likely to respond (回答) in a very positive way. People like to feel that they are ____55____ (importance) and helpful to others.
There must be someone else in your class who is also quiet. It might be easier to try to talk with him or her. Your problem is mainly about confidence. Smile first, talk next and slowly you will make friends. Once you have more confidence, you can make as many friends as you want.
Editor
【答案】46. less
47. friendly
48. yourself
49. to meet

【49题详解】
句意:也许你害怕结识新朋友,因为你太害羞或太严肃。be afraid to do sth.为固定搭配,意为“害怕做某事”,需要将meeting改为动词不定式to meet。

句意:看看你的同学。有没有你觉得和你有许多共同之处的人?there be句型的一般疑问句将be动词提前;主语people为复数,故填are,句首首字母大写。
【51题详解】
句意:首先,对你的同学微笑。one的序数词为first意为“首先”,用于列举步骤,句首首字母大写。
【52题详解】
句意:尽可能多地这样做,直到你的同学习惯了你的微笑并回报以微笑。as...as sb. can为固定搭配,空处使用人称代词主语you作主语。
【53题详解】
句意:你可能会发现,先和独自一人的人交谈会更容易。find it+adj.+to do sth.为固定结构,it为形式宾语,不定式to start作真正的宾语。

He said, “I can help clean up the area and get free books. That’s why I look for rubbish.” Kevin always looks for waste with friends after school.

六、补全对话:本大题共5题,5分。
Tim is hungry. He wants to get to a nearby restaurant. He is asking the way.
Tim: Excuse me, is there a restaurant nearby?
Alice: Yes, there is a restaurant on Main Street.
Tim: ____________61____________?
Alice: Sure. Go east along this street and turn left at the second crossing. Then you will see the restaurant on your right.
Tim: Thanks. ____________62____________?
Alice: Yes, it is two kilometers from here.
Tim: ____________63____________.
Alice: It will take you about 20 minutes to walk there. But you can ride a shared bike.

63. I wonder how long it will take (me to walk there)
64. When does it start playing
65. You’re welcome/No problem
【解析】
【导语】本文主要讲述了Tim向Alice询问附近餐厅位置及路线的对话过程。
【61题详解】
下文Alice详细指路,说明Tim这里是在询问具体路线,用疑问句“Could you please tell me how to get there/Could you please tell me how I can get there”引出下文。
【62题详解】
下文“Yes”提示,此处是一般疑问句,且回答的是距离,因此空处是询问能否告知距离,用一般疑问句“Do you know how far it is/Could you please tell me how far it is”衔接下文。
【63题详解】
下文Alice回答步行要花20分钟,说明Tim这里是在问步行到那里需要多长时间,句末是句号,因此用“I wonder how long it will take (me to walk there)”衔接下文。
【64题详解】
下文回答了乐队今晚开始演奏的时间,此处应是询问开始演奏的时间,用特殊疑问句“When does it start playing”衔接下文。
【65题详解】
上文表达感谢,此处应对此作出回应,用“You’re welcome/No problem”回应感谢。

【答案】例文
Dear Cindy,
I’m glad that you are interested in the Spring Festival.
It is the most important festival in China. Before the festival, we do a lot of preparations for it. My parents and I go shopping and clean the house. We work together to prepare for the festival. During the Spring Festival, we don’t always stay at home. We sometimes go to cities in southern China to have a trip because it’s warmer there. And we always visit our friends and relatives. No matter where we are, we usually get together to eat dumplings and a big meal.
For me, the Spring Festival is about spending time with my family. I love having fun with them. Sitting on the sofa and watching TV together with them is the best way to welcome a new year.
Yours,
Li Hua
