Passing Your Love On
Waiting for the airplane to take off, I was happy to get a seat by myself. Just then, an air hostess approached me and asked, “Would you mind  36  your seat? A couple would like to sit together.” The only  37  seat was next to a girl with her arms in casts（石膏绷带）, a black-and-blue face, and a sad  38 . “No way am I going to sit there,” I thought immediately. But a soft voice spoke, “She needs help.” Finally, I  39  to move to that seat.
The girl was named Kathy. She had been in a car accident and  40  was on her way for  41 .
When the snack and juice arrived, it did not take me long to  42  that Kathy would not be able to  43  herself. I considered  44  to feed her but hesitated, as it seemed too  45  to offer a service to a  46 . But then I realized that Kathy’s need was more  47  than my discomfort. I offered to help her eat, and  48  she was uncomfortable to accept, she  49  as I expected. We became closer and closer in a short period of time. By the end of the five-hour trip, my heart had  50 , and the time was really  51  spent than if I had just sat by myself.
I was very glad I had reached  52  my comfort zone to sit next to Kathy and feed her. Love  53  flows beyond human borders and removes the fears that keep us  54 . When we stretch to serve another, we grow to live  55  a larger and more rewarding world.

小题1:考查动词。根据下一句可知空姐想让作者“换”座位。本段最后部分提到还有一个空座，也是暗示。
小题2:考查形容词。本段开头部分提到作者很高兴自己找到了一个座位，再结合本句中的only一词可判断这是唯一剩下的座位。
小题3:考查名词。根据上一句的描写可知作者不愿意和这么一个女孩坐在一起，所以第一反应是想让自己坐在那个地方“没门儿”。
小题4:考查动词。作者最终改变了初衷，“决定”坐在那个座位上。前面提到作者最初不想那么做，因此B项不恰当。作者并没有自己事先承诺，所以最后一项不正确。
小题5:考查副词。句中的now指的是当时的时间，而女孩是在此之前出的车祸，所以用过去完成时。
小题6:考查名词。根据上一段中对她的描写可推断她此行的目的是“治疗”。
小题7:考查动词。作者很快就“意识”到她由于胳膊上打着绷带，不能自己吃东西。A项表示“知道”，语意不恰当；recognize表示“认出”，语句不通顺。
小题8:考查动词。她不能给自己“喂”东西，下一句中的feed her也提供了暗示。A项有一定的干扰性，但根据juice一词可知应该用drink，而不是eat，所以此项不太恰当。
小题9:考查动词。offer to do sth表示“主动提出做某事”，下文中的“I offered to help her eat...”也提供了线索。
小题10:考查形容词。作者认为这么做似乎“没有礼貌”。喂食物理应靠近，所以C项不合理；前面提到食物端上来之后，作者意识到她无法吃东西才决定帮她，并不是一见面就想提供帮助，因此D项不恰当。
小题11:考查名词。作者和她只是萍水相逢。文中没有交代作者的性别，因此难以确定是性别差异引起的尴尬；作者本身也是“乘客”，所以C项不正确。
小题12:考查形容词。她的需要比自己的不适更“重要”。A项表示“非同寻常的”，指的是与以往不同，语意不恰当。
小题13:考查连词。此处是让步状语从句，表示“虽然”。即尽管她感觉接受别人的照顾不舒服，但还是顺从了。
小题14:考查动词。此处did代指accepted，为了避免用词重复。
小题15:考查动词。作者为能帮助别人而内心感到无比“温暖”。下一段中的love一词也提供了暗示。cheer表示“欢呼”，语意不太恰当。
小题16:考查形容词。结合本句中的the five­hour trip可知强调的是“时间”。自己坐在座位上不需要花费“能量；精力”。
小题17:考查介词。my comfort zone指的是my seat，即作者原来的座位。上文提到作者离开了自己的座位，坐到了另外一个地方，所以用beyond，表示“在……另一边”。
小题18:考查副词。作者字里行间是对自己的做法表示肯定，前三项都表示否定意义，可排除。
小题19:考查形容词。that keep us separate是定语从句，修饰先行词fears。由于恐惧，我们无法进行沟通，被这堵无形的墙“分开”。此处与borders相呼应。
小题20:考查副词。当我们“跨越”恐惧的界限，伸出温暖的双手时，就可以生活在一个更广阔的世界中。happen to do sth表示“碰巧发生某事”，不符合语意；D项在文中没有信息支持。

The young boy saw me, or rather, he saw the car and quickly ran up to me, eager to sell his bunches of bananas and bags of peanuts. Though he appeared to be about twelve, he seemed to have already known the bitterness of life. “Bananas 300 naira. Peanuts 200 naira.” He said in a low voice. I bargained him down to 200 totals for the fruit and nuts. When he agreed, I handed him a 500 naira bill. He didn’t have change, so I told him not to worry. He said thanks and smiled a row of perfect teeth.
When, two weeks later, I saw the boy again, I was more aware of my position in a society where it’s not that uncommon to see a little boy who should be in school standing on the corner selling fruit in the burning sun. My parents had raised me to be aware of the advantage we had been afforded and the responsibility it brought to us.
I pulled over and rolled down my window. He had a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts ready. I waved them away. “What’s up?” I asked him.
“I…I don’t have money to buy books for school.” I reached into my pocket and handed him two fresh 500 naira bills. “Will this help?” I asked. He looked around nervously before taking the money. One thousand naira was a lot of money to someone whose family probably made about 5,000 naira or less each year. “Thank you, sir.” he said. “Thank you very much!”
When driving home, I wondered if my little friend actually used the money for schoolbooks. What if he’s a cheat? And then I wondered why I did it. Did I do it to make myself feel better? Was I using him? Later, I realized that I didn’t know his name or the least bit about him, nor did I think to ask.
Over the next six months, I was busy working in a news agency in northern Nigeria. Sometime after I returned, I went out for a drive. When I was about to pull over, the boy suddenly appeared by my window with a big smile ready on his face.
“Oh, gosh! Long time.”
“Are you in school now?” I asked.
He nodded.
“That’s good,” I said. A silence fell as we looked at each other, and then I realized what he wanted. “Here,” I held out a 500 naira bill. “Take this.” He shook his head and stepped back as if hurt. “What’s wrong?” I asked. “It’s a gift.”
He shook his head again and brought his hand from behind his back. His face shone with sweat. He dropped a bunch of bananas and a bag of peanuts in the front seat before he said, “I’ve been waiting to give these to you.”
小题1:What was the author’s first impression of the boy?
A．He seemed to be poor and greedy.
B．He seemed to have suffered a lot.
C．He seemed younger than his age.
D．He seemed good at bargaining.
小题2:The second time the author met the boy, the boy ______.
A．told him his purpose of selling fruit and nuts
B．wanted to express his thanks
C．asked him for money for his schoolbooks
D．tried to take advantage of him
小题3:Why did the author give his money to the boy?
A．Because he had enough money to do that.
B．Because he had learnt to help others since childhood.
C．Because he held a higher position in the society.
D．Because he had been asked by the news agency to do so.
小题4:Which of the following best describes the boy?
A．Brave and polite.B．Kind and smart.
C．Honest and thankful.D．Shy and nervous.

Kites have been around for a long time.The Chinese invented kites over 2000 years ago. A determined man named Mo Zi had an idea as he watched hawks(鹰) fly. He spent three years making a wooden hawk“kite”. It broke after one flight! Mo Zi and his Chinese friends did not give up. Soon they perfected the art of creating kites.
Kites became part of many Chinese festivals. Pictures of kites were also on vases and in paintings. But kites were meant to fly in places other than China! Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century and brought kites back to Europe with him. Europeans loved them, and the art of kiting“took off”!
Many kites have stories behind them. One Chinese novel, called Journey to the West, was written around 1400 AD. In the story, a priest(僧侣) traveled with three students. One student was a monkey. The second student was a man with pig ears. The third student was a former river monster. These characters often appear on Chinese kites. Another splendid Chinese kite is the dragon kite. A dragon kite is made of many round discs strung together. Often the dragon is bright red, with fat horns and white teeth. The dragon is the king of beasts in Chinese myths. It represents goodness, even though it looks scary. Two kinds of kites have pictures of birds on them. One kite is called the phoenix(凤凰) bird kite. The phoenix bird symbolizes peace. Another kite shows the red-headed crane. The crane represents happiness, good fortune, and a long life.
Kites come in all shapes and sizes. Flat or bowed kites have a simple shape, such as a diamond or a rectangle(长方形). Delta(三角形) kites are triangular. Rokkaku kites are six sided and often bear a striking image. Sometimes these kites“flight”each other until one kite drops from the sky. The other kite then wins the“battle”.
小题1:Who introduced Chinese kites to Europe?
A．A foreigner from Europe.
B．Three students in Journey to the West.
C．The priest in Journey to the West.
D．A Chinese artist.
小题2:Which of the following statements is TRUE?
A．The novel Journey to the West mainly talks about the art of kiting.
B．The characters in the novel Journey to the West are often painted on kites.
C．The dragon kite represents happiness, good fortune and a long life.
D．A phoenix bird is a main character in the novel Journey to the West.
小题3:Which statement expresses an opinion rather than a fact?
A．Kites became part of many Chinese festivals.
B．There are many different kinds of kites.
C．The dragon kite is the most splendid Chinese kite.
D．Kites were invented 2000 years ago.
小题4:Which kind of kite is NOT used to fight“battles”in the air?
A．Flat.B．Delta.C．Dragon.D．Rokkaku.

While applying to college may seem easy, getting in can be tough! When you apply for college, you will have to be honest with yourself and do a bit of research to find the right fit. Here are three steps to take when applying to colleges for the best chances at getting into the best college for you.
Step l: Making A List Of Colleges To Apply To
With over 6,000 colleges in the United States, the first step in applying to college is to do some research and make a college list .This process will be different for everyone. The number of colleges you apply to can vary, from applying  to 1 school (not recommended) to 30 schools (not recommended),each applicant can choose how many colleges they apply to. Many limit the number because applications are accompanied by a fee.
Step2: Splitting The List Into Target, Reach and Safety Schools
In general, students will want to apply to three types of schools: Target, Reach and Safety schools. It is up to you how many applications you send, but a good mix would be more target than reach, and at least one safety. You will need to take your list, and now decide which are your top picks, which are attainable for you academically, which are affordable for you only with aid, and refine your broad list into a group of schools that gives you the best chance for success. Talk to an admissions counselor at your high school if you have questions about this.
Step 3: Completing and Sending Applications to Colleges
Once your list is complete you are ready to apply to college by completing and sending in applications! College applications take time to complete —you have to write essays, ask for recommendations and get test scores sent to schools—so stay organized！ All colleges will require these types of application materials, so start thinking about these items well before October or December. Once you complete and send them, then you have successfully applied to college.
小题1:It can be learned from the first paragraph that_____________.
A．you should be cautious to pick up the right college
B．you don't have to think twice before applying to college
C．once you apply to a college, you'll be admitted to it easily
D．each applicant should choose the best college for their ideal
小题2:To make a list of colleges, you____________.
A．should consider more Safety schools
B．had better take your academy into account
C．are supposed to choose merely one most fit
D．are required to pick out more than 30 colleges
小题3:Which of the following statements is WRONG?
A．One should clarify the list according to one's abilities.
B．Refer to admissions counselor at high school if necessary.
C．One doesn't have to send his test scores to the intended college.
D．Teachers' recommendations are included in application materials.
小题4:We can conclude from the text that____________.
A．each applicant has the right to apply to any colleges for free
B．the more college one chooses, the more successful he will be
C．applicants should send required materials before the deadline
D．safety schools are those that don't have so many requirements
小题5:The text is mainly about____________.
A．how to succeed in life
B．how to apply to college
C．how to ask for information
D．how to do a research in college

Loneliness is all about feeling isolated, but it's actually quite common. In general, there are three different types of loneliness.
The first kind of loneliness is temporary. It is the most common type but usually disappears quickly and does not require any special attention. The second kind, situational loneliness, is a natural result of a particular situation, such as, family problem, the death of a loved one, or moving to a new place. Although this kind of loneliness can cause physical problems, it usually does not last for more than a year. The third kind of loneliness is chronic (the opposite of “temporary”). Being the most severe, it usually lasts for more than two years and is often connected with serious illnesses.
An important factor in loneliness is a person’s social contacts. Through social contacts, we get emotional support and guidance from our parents and teachers and share similar interests and activities with our friends. However, some lonely people almost make no contacts with people around them and feel apart from those who they supposedly know well. They just see themselves as outsiders. On the other hand, some lonely people may have enough social contacts, but they rarely enjoy the contacts and question their popularity, thinking of themselves as someone powerless. So loneliness is closely related to the quality of those social relationship in addition to the quantity.
Loneliness is tough, but something can be done to cope with it. First, take time to accept that you are suffering from loneliness. Then, contact your old friends or visit relatives to spend quality time with others. Besides, pick up a hobby to reduce your feelings of loneliness, such as taking up needle work, joining craft classes, or attending lectures. You can also beat loneliness by volunteering at a nursing home, hospital, church or pet rescue organization. This not only helps you get in touch with people from all walks of life, but also makes you feel good about yourself. In a word, if you take a correct attitude towards loneliness and get involved with people around you, you are sure to get over it.
Loneliness
Loneliness is quite common.
Ⅰ.    1  
●Temporary loneliness: disappearing quickly and requiring    2  
●Situational loneliness: resulting from some particular situation,    3   and
lasting not more than one year
●   4  : lasting more than two years and being connected with serious illnesses
Ⅱ. An important factor in loneliness:    5  
●Lack social relationship quantity: feeling disconnected with others
treating themselves as    6  
●Lack    7  : questioning their popularity
treating themselves as powerless people
Ⅲ.    8   for lonely people
●Face the problem and accept it
●Contact    9   for quality time
●Pick up hobbies
●   10  
Taking a correct attitude and getting involved with others, people are sure to get over loneliness.

There was once a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind. She  31_everyone, except her boyfriend. He was   32 there for her. The blind girl said that if she could see the world, she would marry him.
One day, someone donated a pair of  33 to the blind girl. She could see everything, including her boyfriend. Her boyfriend asked her, “Now you can see the  34 , will you marry me? ” The girl was surprised when she saw that her boyfriend was  35  ！ So she refused to  36 him. Her boyfriend walked away sadly, and later wrote a letter to the girl saying, “Just take care of my eyes, dear.”
This is how human changes when situations change. Only  37 people remember what life was like before. Only few remember the people who were always there for them.
Hold every person close to your heart because you  38 wake up one day and realize that you have lost a diamond( 钻石) while you were too  39  in collecting stones. You learn to love, not by finding a perfect person,   40  by learning to see an imperfect person perfectly.

Balzac was good at buying things at its lowest price. One day he wanted to buy a vase in a shop window that was much more expensive than he could offer. Not being able to make the shopkeeper cut down its price very much, he left without further talking. Collecting a half dozen of his friends, he explained his wish to them and they worked a plan. The first would enter the shop and make an offer, lower than the marked price. Not getting the vase at his price, he would walk out. Shortly after another would enter and ask for a price lower than the first. In this way, each of the others would offer a price lower than the one before, and the last of his friends made a great effort to attempt to get it at the lowest price. Before long Balzac himself would return, offer more than the last two or three persons made and trust to luck. The plan worked--- Balzac got the vase at his price!
