题目内容

     Almost everyone loves trees, but do you know that tree can help sick people recover faster?
     It's true. According to the International Society of Arboriculture (树木培植), hospital patients have
been shown to recover faster when they are given a view with trees. Also, while trees certainly benefit
any landscape, whether lining streets, decorating urban areas, or growing naturally in the forest, they are
actually important in our daily lives.
     Trees improve the quality of the air around us by absorbing dust and other particles(颗粒物). Their
leaves also absorb harmful gases before we have a chance to take them in. They also protect us from the
sun, rain, hail(冰雹), and snow, which can quickly damage unprotected homes. Even better, they often
clean oxgiygen for us to breathe.
     Trees make economic sense. A home surrounded by trees costs less to cool and heat.
Neighborhoods with trees are often several degrees cooler in summer than those in similar climates that
don't have trees.
In winter, trees can keep houses warmer by blocking strong winds. Also, less water is needed to water
grass and gardens in tree-shaded areas where the sun isn't constantly shining.
     Besides that, trees can further improve privacy, block unpleasant views, and increase the value of
your home. Unfortunately, these days, construction projects tend to wipe out all the trees in an area
before creating new neighborhoods and buildings. That's more important than ever to plant a tree in
your community.

1. The best title of the passage is about______.

A. planting a tree in your community
B. planting a tree in your family
C. improving people's privacy
D. improving people's life

2. Trees change the quality of air because______.

A. they can protect us from natural disasters
B. they can take in much dust and other particles
C. they often clean oxgiygen for us to breathe
D. they are of great importance in our daily life

3. According to the passage, we know that ______ is wrong.

A. trees can offer people a good place to cool
B. trees can make people get warmer
C. trees can bring people many benefits
D. trees are likely to be damaged by people

It was Christmas Eve, but I had to work in the clinic. The only thing that   16  my day was the beautiful Christmas tree in our waiting room and a   17  sent to me by my boyfriend — a dozen red roses.
As I was cleaning my desk, I was told that a   18  in the office urgently needed to speak with me. Stepping out, I   19  a tired-looking woman with a baby in her arms. 20 , she explained that her husband was my next   21 . The guards were to bring him to the office that afternoon. She wasn’t allowed to visit her husband in   22 , so he had never seen his son. She   23  me to let the boy’s father sit in the waiting room with her as   24  as possible before I called him for his appointment. I agreed.
A short time later, her husband arrived. The woman’s tired face   25  when her husband sat beside her. They laughed, cried and shared their child.
After almost an hour, I called the prisoner in. He seemed like a   26  and humble man. I   27  what he possibly could have done to be held under such conditions. I tried to make him comfortable.
Finally, I wished him a Merry Christmas—a(n) 28  thing to say to a man headed back to prison. He smiled and thanked me. He also said sadly that he couldn’t get his wife anything for Christmas. Hearing this, I was   29  with a wonderful idea.
I’ll never forget the   30   on both their faces as the prisoner gave his wife the beautiful roses.

When my grandfather died, my 83-year-old grandmother, once so full of life, slowly began to fade. No longer able to manage a home of her own, she moved in with my mother, where she was visited often by other members of her large, loving family. Although she still had her good days, it was often hard to arouse her interest.

But one chilly December afternoon three years ago, my daughter Meagan, then eight, and I were visiting her, when she noticed that Meagan was carrying her favorite doll.

“I, too, had a special doll when I was a little girl,” she told a wide-eyed Meagan. “I got it one Christmas when I was about your age. I lived in an old farmhouse in Maine, with Mom, Dad and my four sisters, and the very first gift I opened that Christmas was the most beautiful doll you’d ever want to see.”

“She had an elegant, hand-painted face, and her long brown hair was pulled back with a big pink bow. Her eyes were blue, and they opened and closed. I remember she had a body of kidskin, and her arms and legs bent at the joints.”

GG’s voice dropped low, taking on an almost respectful tone. “My doll was dressed in a pretty pink gown, decorated with fine lace. … Getting such a fine doll was like a miracle for a little farm girl like me — my parents must have had to sacrifice so much to afford it. But how happy I was that morning!”

GG’s eyes filled and her voice shook with emotion as she recalled that Christmas of long ago. “I played with my doll all morning long. And then it happened. My mother called us to the dining room for Christmas dinner and I laid my new doll down gently on the hall table. But as I went to join the family at the table, I heard a loud crash.”

“I hardly had to turn around — I knew it was my precious doll. And it was. Her lace skirt had hung down from the table just enough for my baby sister to reach up and pull on it. When I ran in, there lay my beautiful doll on the floor, her face smashed into a dozen pieces. She was gone forever.”

A few years later, GG’s baby sister was also gone, she told Meagan, a victim of pneumonia(肺炎). Now the tears in her eyes spilled over — tears, I knew, not only for a lost doll and a lost sister, but for a lost time.

Silent for the rest of the visit, Meagan was no sooner in the car going home than she exclaimed, “Mom, I have a great idea! Let’s get GG a new doll for Christmas. Then she won’t cry when she thinks about it.”

My heart filled with pride as I listened to my sympathetic little daughter. But where would we find a doll to match GG’s fond memories?

Where there’s a will, as they say, there’s a way. When I told my best friends, Liz and Chris, about my problem, Liz put me in touch with a local doll-make. From a doll supply house I ordered a long brown hair and a kidskin body to copy the outfit GG had so lovingly described. Liz volunteered to put the doll together, and Chris helped me make the doll’s outfit. Meagan wrote the story of the lost doll by giving examples.

Finally our creation was finished. To our eyes it was perfect. But there was no way it could be exactly like the doll GG had loved so much and lost. Would she think it looked anything like it?

On Christmas Eve, Meagan and I carried our happily packed gift to GG, where she sat surrounded by children, parents, aunts, uncles and cousins. “It’s for you,” Meagan said, “but first you have to read the story that goes with it.”

GG no sooner got through the first page than her voice cracked and she was unable to go on, but Meagan took over where she left off. Then it was time to open her present.

I’ll never forget the look on GG’s face as she lifted the doll and held it to her chest. Once again her tears fell, but this time they were tears of joy. Holding the doll in her frail arms, she repeated over and over again, “She’s exactly like my old doll, exactly like her.”

And perhaps she wasn’t saying that just to be kind. Perhaps however impossible it seemed, we had managed to produce a close copy of the doll she remembered. But as I watched my eight-year-old daughter and her great-grandmother examining the doll together, I thought of a likelier explanation. What GG really recognized, perhaps, was the love that inspired the gift. And love, wherever it comes from, always looks the same.

1.GG moved in with her daughter because____.

A．she wanted to live with a large family

B．she was not able to live on her own due to her weakness

C．her husband passed away

D．she thought it was the children’s obligation to take care of her

A．Because she saw her great granddaughter’s doll.

B．Because she recalled her dead parents.

C．Because she was surrounded by her offspring.

D．Because she felt lonely during the Christmas season.

3.What can we infer from Paragraph 5?

A．GG’s doll was important and was a symbol of many things.

B．GG showed great respect for his husband’s love.

C．GG missed the great old days she spent with her family.

D．GG was grateful for her long life.

4.What happened to GG’s baby sister?

A．She envied her sister all her life.

B．She felt guilty for breaking GG’s doll and decided to go.

C．She left home at a young age.

D．She died of some disease at a young age.

5.Why did Meagan’s mum feel proud of her daughter?

A．Because she was clever. B．Because she was loving.

C．Because she was sensitive. D．Because she was imaginative.

A．treating the elderly well is moral

B．it is impossible to copy the exact doll for the elderly

C．love, the permanent rhythm of life, will always remain in the elderly’s heart

D．physical comfort from children rather than psychological care is important

When my first wartime Christmas came, I was in basic training in New Jersey and not sure if I could make it home for the holidays. Only on the afternoon of December 23 was the list of men who would have three-day passes posted. I was one of the lucky soldiers. It was Christmas Eve when I arrived home, and a light snow had fallen. Mother opened the front door. I could see beyond her, into the corner of the living room where the tree had always stood. There were lights, all colors, and ornaments shining against the green of a pine. "Where did it come from?" I asked.

"I asked the Gates boy to cut it," my mother said. "I wouldn't have had one just for myself, but-such a rush! He just brought it in this afternoon…" The pine reached to the proper height, almost to the ceiling, and the Tree Top Krystal Star was its place. A few green branches reached about a little awkwardly at the side, I thought, and there was a bit of bare trunk showing in the middle. But the, tree filled the room with warm light and the whole house with the pleasant smell of Christmas. "It's not like the one you used to find." my mother went on. "Yours were always in good shape. I suppose the Gates boy didn't know where to look. But I couldn't be fussy(挑剔的)."

"Don't worry," I told her. "It's perfect." It wasn't, of course, but at the moment I realized something for the first time: all Christmas trees are perfect.

A. the writer spent his first wartime Christmas at home

2. When the writer got home, .
