21、A few weeks ago, a friend from an unknown Smile Groups sent me $120 to do good things with. Since then I have used the money in the U.K. and U.S. It has helped families and strangers, and generally raised a lot of smiles. They have warmed my heart, but none so much as the gift I was able to give just an hour ago.

I was in a charity shop, looking at the second-hand books. It happened that the bookshelves were next to the toy shelf. I noticed a group of poorly dressed women standing behind me. As they looked through the clothes shelf, a little girl about three years old came over to the toy shelf. Immediately her attention was caught by a toy pram(手推车). She spoke to her mother and her mother asked the shop assistant how much it cost.  $3 was the answer.

The mum looked down at her child, perhaps thinking what she still had to buy and how much money she would have left. Then she shook her head. The child didn’t behave(表现)as badly as some might. Being told “no” was not new for her but she couldn’t keep the disappointment(失望)from her face.

I had a total of  $5 in my pocket. I touched the mother on the shoulder, put the money in her hand and said, “Buy her a doll too. ”

I didn’t wait to see the end. After all, it was not about being thanked. I walked out of the shop and into the sunshine.

The money the friend gave me was to help me find happiness of the world. Was there any better way, I wondered, to get so much happiness for so little money than to buy a little girl a toy pram and a doll to sit in it?

【1】Where did the story take place?

A. In a Smile Groups. B. In a toy shop.

C. In a charity shop. D. In a book shop.

【2】According to the passage, the writer used the money given by his friend   .

A. to thank his friend for his help B. to do some shopping

C. to donate to a charity organization D. to make a donation in happiness

【3】When her mum refused to buy her the toy, the girl didn’t behave badly   .

A. because she didn’t want to behave badly in public

B. because she knew her mother didn’t have enough money

C. because she was afraid her mother would be angry

D. because she had got used to being refused

【4】The reason why the writer didn’t wait to see the end was that   .

A. he had no money then B. he had already finished his task

C. he was afraid the woman might thank him very much D. he was in a hurry

22、

Lots of people love chocolate. Do you know how to make it? What does a chocolate factory look like? My class had a field trip to a chocolate factory in Toronto.

We visited an old building in ten groups. In the beginning, we put on some special clothes to make sure that we couldn’t dirty the workplace. After preparation, we went to the second floor and walked into the chocolate-making place. The floor was filled with different kinds of machines. Each machine has a different job. There are only two people working on the floor, because machines do most of the work.

In the next room, we learned about the history of chocolate making. There was a picture of the factory 100 years ago. They had more than 1,000 people working there. The factory is very different now. How greatly the technology is changing our life!

Later, we saw how machines made chocolate. We got a cocoa bean (可可豆), some powdered (粉末的) chocolate and a final chocolate. I opened the cocoa bean and tasted it. It doesn’t taste sweet at all, and it’s like dark chocolate. The best cocoa beans come from South America and Africa. Farmers dry them in the sun. Next, workers cook the beans at a high temperature. Machines took the shells (果壳) off the beans and made the beans into chocolate liquor which looks like water. Then, they put chocolate liquor and sugar together to make dark chocolate. If adding milk, they made milk chocolate. The machine made them smooth like silk.

Finally, we bought some chocolate at a shop in the factory. It was at a very low price. This field trip taught me how important technology is and I also learned a lot of knowledge (知识) about chocolate.

【1】Why did the writer’s class visit the chocolate factory?

A.Because they studied in Toronto.

B.Because they could get some chocolate at a low price there.

C.Because they wanted to learn something about chocolate.

【2】What makes the writer think “How greatly technology is changing our life”?

A.The whole floor only has two machines working.

B.Machines are doing most of the work in this factory.

C.People are making more and more delicious chocolate.

【3】Where do the best cocoa beans come from?

A.North America. B.Australia. C.Africa.

【4】Which is the RIGHT order about how to make chocolate?

①Cook the beans at a high temperature.

②Dry the cocoa beans in the sun.

③Put chocolate liquor and sugar together.

④Take the shells off the beans, and made the beans into chocolate liquor.

A.②①④③ B.①②④③ C.②①③④

【5】The writer thought the field trip was ________.

A.tiring B.unforgettable C.meaningless

23、   A new series of Chinese Maths textbooks was published in the UK following the success of the previous edition, with an expert saying Chinese Maths textbooks are generally more difficult for UK students. However, new Chinese Maths textbooks teach UK students learning skills.

Yi Ke Yi Lian, or One Lesson, One Exercise, is a series of popular textbooks for primary and junior high schools in Shanghai. For about 20 years, this series has helped students to practice what they have learned in class. This summer, the Maths textbook series was published in the UK.

The British version has 11 volumes (册), as there are 11 grades from primary school to high school in the UK. The publishers cut out part of the content in the Chinese version to go with the curriculum setting (课程安排) there. They also changed some terms (术语) and background knowledge. But the overall difficulty level is the same.

The move follows the British government’s efforts to learn from Shanghai’s Maths teaching methods starting from last year. In the 2012 Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA.国际学生评估项目), Shanghai students got the first place on the Maths exam while British students got 24th place.

In September, the British government invited 60 of Shanghai’s top Maths teachers to British schools to share their teaching experience. A number of teachers from the UK also visited Shanghai for experience.

“It seems that the Shanghai teaching methodology (方法) uses resources much more effectively,” said Liz Truss, a government education officer. We have stagnated (停滞) in our Maths performance for the last 15 years, and it’s time for us to learn and apply good practices.”

【1】The British publishers ________ before publishing the textbooks.

A.added more content to the books

B.changed the curriculum setting

C.changed some of the book’s background knowledge

D.changed the overall difficulty level of the books

【2】In the 2012 PISA, students from which country got the first place on the Maths exam?

A.The UK. B.China. C.Japan. D.The USA.

【3】What’s the main idea of the passage?

A.The UK is using Chinese Maths books. B.How to improve UK kids’ Maths skills.

C.Lots of practice can make a difference. D.China has the best teaching methodology.

24、

【1】Mary, aged 24, knows English and Japanese. Which job can be given to her?

A.Driving for Capes Taxi. B.Working for China Airlines. C.Both of the above.

【2】If you want to work in the south, you can apply for a job as _______.

25、   It was sunny when my dad and I were arriving at his company. We stopped the car and got 【1】. I saw a gray thing on the floor. I thought it was 【2】 garbage bag. But it started to move. Then I【3】(realize) that it was a small wounded dog.

The small dog was so poor that my father and I decided to help 【4】(he). We bought the dog some food in the store across from the street. We also got some clean w 【5】 for the dog. He was so  【6】 (hunger)that all the food was eaten up quickly. After he finished his eating, we encouraged him to move. 7.H 【7】, he could not. We tried a 【8】 (two) time, but failed again. At the end, we decided to carry him to the veterinary station(兽医站). The vet told us that he had a broken leg, so he couldn't move  【9】 (easy). The vet gave him a cure and we looked after him carefully. After five  【10】 (day), he recovered. We found a kind family for him. I understood that everybody can make an act of kindness.
