21、   I was walking around in a store. I saw a cashier(收银员) hand a little boy his money back, saying, "I'm sorry, but you don't have enough money to buy this doll." I walked towards him and asked him who the doll was for.   

"It's the doll that my sister wanted most for Christmas," he said. I told him that maybe Father Christmas would bring it to her and that he shouldn't worry. He sadly replied, "No. Father Christmas can't bring it to her. I have to give the doll to my mom so that she can give it to my sister when she joins her."

His eyes were so sad while saying this. "My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mom is going to see God very soon too, so I think that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister."

My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and suggested that we count the money again. "Okay," he said. "I hope that I have enough." I added some of my money to his without letting him see and we started to count it. There was enough for the doll and even some spare money left. "Thank you, God, for giving me enough money!" the little boy said.

I left the store, feeling as if my life had been changed forever.

22、   My father woke me up early one summer morning when I was fourteen and said: “Get up, you’re going with me to cut the grass in the garden.”

The idea that my father thought I was old enough to help him in his business (生意) made me feel proud (骄傲) and excited. From sunrise to sunset, my father, my younger brother and I worked in the large garden, in a rich part of Atlanta, Georgia. By the end of the day I was too tired to say a word but I felt good. This was my first time to help my father in his business. I got $ 6 for my work that day.

One day my father found some leaves I had missed and pulled me aside. “Take away these leaves!” he said seriously, “and don’t make me have to tell you to do it again.” The message was clear. Today I still value（珍视） it , which my father gave to me that day. It will always be helpful to impress (给……留下印象) the person you are working for.

After two years, I left home and went to another town to start my new life. Luckily for me, I quickly found a job to wash dishes in a restaurant. Every morning, I set off early, always with the same strong wish I got long long ago. I felt like I was old enough to be independent and make a living by myself.

In fact, washing dishes was not exciting, but that didn’t matter. It taught me that any job was a good job and whatever I got from the job was more than I had before. I could learn something meaningful from every job and do it better and better. One day, a newspaper reporter once asked me how someone could possibly live with hard work and low pay. “If you only think about hard work and money,   58   ” I answered.

In every job, from cutting the grass to washing dishes, I’ve learned much. I’ve learned something that helps me in my next job.

【3】If we put the passage into three parts, which of the following is the best?

(①=Para. 1 ②=Para. 2 ③=Para. 3 ④=Para. 4 ⑤=Para. 5 ⑥=Para. 6）

A.①②③; ④⑤; ⑥ B.①; ②③④⑤; ⑥

23、I was doing the work in the garden yesterday. It was a soft evening and I was making the most of it when I heard a neighbor’s voice coming from the path out of our garden.

“That’s no place to be sleeping!” he said.

I found there was a man lying on his back on the path with his eyes closed. I recognized him. I had seen him doing the drunkard’s (酒鬼) walk along that path several times.

I stopped to walk out. “Do you need some help?” I asked.

He opened his eyes and said, “Probably.” Then he told me because of arthritis (关节炎) he couldn’t walk well at the most of times. I thought I should do it when he asked to help him go home where he lived a few hundred metres away.

I tried to let him walk under his own strength with me guiding him but that was getting us nowhere. It was easier to carry him, but that would be a real insult (侮辱) to him. So, I held his left hand with my left hand and grabbed his belt with my right hand. Then we started walking slowly.

On the way he told me his name, what he had worked as, what holidays he had been, how wonderful his granddaughter was, what his wife’s name was — and what a hard time she would give him when he got home!

Thank goodness! His wife wasn’t in when we walked forty-five minutes back to his home.

If we wait until we feel good about helping before we help, then people will go unhelped and we will become the ones who end up walking on by.

【1】When did the story happen?

A．When the writer finished his work.

B．When the writer was walking on the path.

【2】Who was lying on the path?

A．A neighbor.

B．The writer’s wife.

C．A drunkard.

D．A gardener.

【3】Why didn’t the writer carry the man?

A．Because he could walk well by himself.

B．Because it would be an insult to him.

C．Because it was only a few hundred metres away.

D．Because his wife would give him a hard time.

【4】According to the passage, which is RIGHT?

A．The man was a talented person.

B．The man enjoyed having holidays.

C．The man’s wife was always kind to him.

D．The man loved his granddaughter very much.

【5】What does the story want to tell us?

24、   When my family moved to America from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect elders. Unluckily, this rule led to my very first embarrassment in the United States. 

I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive (敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description "old". I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry. 

In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.

However, in the United States, people think "growing old" is a problem since "old" shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn't want to hear. 

After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don't respect them anymore; I still respect them, but now I don't show my feelings through words.

【1】Jack brought the couple their food very fast because ________.

A.the manager asked him to do so

B.he respected the elderly

C.the couple wanted him to do so

【2】When Jack called the couple "elderly", they became ________.

A.nervous B.satisfied C.unhappy

【3】In Jack's hometown, ________.

A.people dislike being called "old"

B.people are proud of being old

C.many people reach the age of seventy or eighty

【4】After this experience, Jack ________.

A.changed his way with older people

B.made friends with the couple

C.no longer respected the elderly

【5】Which of the following is TRUE?

A.The more Jack explained, the angrier the couple got.

B.Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.

C.From this experience, Jack learned more about American culture.

25、根据首字母提示补全短文。

The world is not only hungry, but also thirsty. This may s【1】 strange to you, since nearly 71% of the Earth’s surface is covered w【2】 water. But about 97% of that is sea water, or salt water. Humans can only drink and u【3】 the other 3% the fresh water from rivers, lakes, the underground and o【4】 sources. And we cannot even use all of that. Even worse, some of it has been polluted.

However, as things stand today, this fresh water is still e【5】 for us. But our need for water is b【6】 larger and larger—almost day by day. We should take s【7】 to deal with this problem now and in this w【8】 we can get away from a serious water shortage(短缺) later on.

We all have to learn how to s【9】 wasting our valuable water. One of the steps is to develop ways of reusing it. Today in most large cities, water is used only once and then sent into a sewer system(排污系统). From there it r【10】 to the sea or runs into underground places.
