8.It was one of the hottest days of the dry season.We had not seen rain in almost a month.The crops were dying.Cows had stopped giving milk.The streams were long gone back into the earth.If we didn't see some rain soon we would lose everything.
I was in the kitchen making lunch for my husband and his brothers when I saw my six-year-old son,Billy,walking toward the woods.He was obviously walking with a great effort…trying to be as still as possible.Minutes after he disappeared into the woods,he came running out again,toward the house.
Moments later,however,he was once again walking in that slow purposeful long step toward the woods.This activity went on for over an hour:walking cautiously to the woods,then running back to the house.Finally,my curiosity got the best of me.I crept out of the house and followed him on his journey.
He was cupping both hands in front of him as he walked; being very careful not to spill the water he held in them.Branches and thorns slapped his little face but he did not try to avoid them.He had a much greater purpose.As I leaned in to spy on him,I saw the most amazing sight.
Several large deer appeared threatening in front of him.But Billy walked right up to them.I almost screamed for him to get away.And I saw a baby deer lying on the ground,obviously suffering from heavy loss of water and heat exhaustion,lift its head with great effort to lap up the water cupped in my beautiful boy's hand.
I stood on the edge of the woods watching the most beautiful heart I have ever known working so hard to save a life.As the tears that rolled down my face began to hit the ground,they were suddenly joined by other drops…and more drops…and more.I looked up at the sky.It was as if God,Himself,was weeping with pride.
21.Why did the author follow her son?D
A.Because there might be danger.
B.Because her son was doing a good deed.
C.Because she intended to help.
D.Because she was curious.
22.Which of the following statements is Not True according to the passage?C
A.Rain was in great need.
B.Billy carried water with his small hands.
C.There were few trees in the woods.
D.Billy walked into the woods and then returned over and over again.
23.Which is the correct order of the development of the story?B
①The author was moved to tears.
②Billy fed the water to the baby deer.
③Billy walked towards the large deer.

B.God was touched by Billy's activity.

18.The other day in school we were discussing jobs.Our teacher,Mrs.Bolt,said that vocations were very important and that it was never too early to think about your life's work.Most of the children really weren't too sure about what they wanted to be.But I knew exactly what I wanted to be,and when Mrs.Bolt asked me,I replied"A truck driver."
"A truck driver,"repeated Mrs.Bolt."Why do you want to be a truck driver,Kenneth?"
"Because truck drivers are always on the move.They don't have to sit at desks all day.They're out on the road and they see a lot of the country.The pay is good,too.And you never have any homework."
The class laughed.
"Well,Kenneth,"answered Mrs.Bolt."You certainly sound enthusiastic.I guessed that you don't like sitting at a desk or doing homework.Is that correct,Kenneth?"
"Yes,I guess so,"I said.
"Well,since you are so interested in becoming a truck driver,I think you should investigate the field a little further.I want you to go to the library and take out a book on truck driving.And I want you to write a book report on it and hand it at the end of the month."
"That's the last time I'll ever tell anybody my secret ambition!"
33.The word"vocations"in the first paragraph here meansB.
A.works     
B.jobs    
C.holidays    
D.ambition
34.Why did Mrs.Bolt ask Kenneth to write the book report?BecauseA.

B.she was angry with him
C.she was not satisfied with the reasons he gave
D.she wanted the whole class to follow his example
35.Which sentence does not agree with the general idea of the text?C

19."When I grow up,I want to be…"
Almost all of us have thought about,or been asked to think about,our future careers.Our answers may differ greatly.Even now your aspirations(志向,抱负)may have changed from when you were in primary school.
However,it seems that career choices aren't only based on personal taste.In a survey carried out by Teens,doctors,lawyers,and bankers were some of most popular careers that people said they hoped to follow.This is similar to a survey carried out in the UK in May 2016by job website-Co.uk,in which medicine was the top choice among UK teenagers aged between 13and 17.
Medicine and law are two of the oldest and best known professions.Their prestige (威望) may come from the fact that doctors and lawyers are muchrespected members of society,and they make good money.What's more,these professions are often seen as a sign of upward social class.
It is equally unsurprising that banking is now one of the most common career choices.Youngsters worldwide think of banking and see the money rolling in.Wealth is increasingly becoming one of the most important indicators(标志) of a successful career.
However,not every child has the makings of doctor,lawyer,or banker.They are those who see achievement and happiness in other areas.As the Teens'survey discovered,a variety of unconventional(非传统的) jobs-coffee shop owner,waiter at a fast food restaurant-are among teenagers'career choices.They can be equally interesting and rewarding jobs.
With every choice comes responsibility and challenge,and all career paths require specific education and training,you have to learn to balance optimism(乐观主义)and confidence with being realistic about your particular talents and skills.
32.What is the passage mainly about?A
A.Careers in teenagers'mind.
B.Choosing a good job is very important.
C.Teenagers in the UK like doctors.
D.The choice of career needs challenge.
33.What is the top career choice among UK teenagers aged between 13and 17according to the article?A
A.Medicine.
B.Law.
C.Bank.
D.Education.
34.All of the following are the benefits of being a doctor or a lawyer exceptB.
A.respect from others  
B.the oldest profession
C.high pay  
D.upward social class
35.What can be learned from the last two paragraphs?B
A.Careers such as waiters are not as rewarding as doctors and lawyers.
B.Specific education and training can help get a good job.
C.Responsibility is the most important when you choose a good job.
D.Optimism and confidence is more important than being realistic when choosing careers.
3.One Halloween a little boy and his friend went out for a fun night of trick-or-treating.At first everything was great.They were getting lots of candy as they went from house to house,but then they saw a house which they hadn't been to before.It was a very spooky (阴森森的) house.Being young and brave,they decided to go up to the door and knock.After all,scary houses might have the best candy!
As they walked up the long winding path,they saw things that chilled (使恐惧) them to the bone!They heard sounds that frightened them.Maybe they should turn back.But the little boys,being very brave,just wanted to see what was in that house,so they went on,not deterred by the things they heard or saw.As they slowly made their way up to the door,they imagined what might be inside.Maybe it would be a witch or maybe a ghost!
After knocking several times,the door slowly creaked (嘎吱作响) open.To their surprise,a monster (怪物) slowly came out to greet them.They were so scared that they couldn't move!What could they do?Then the little boy had an idea.He said,"Trick or treat!"Then the big scary monster,much to the kids'surprise,reached over and brought out a huge bowl of the best candies they had never seen.Wow,the kids thought,this was great!
It turned out that the house was decorated for Halloween,and the big scary monster was just wearing a costume,just like the kids.Since they were the only kids,and were brave enough to go to the scary house,they could take as much candy as they wanted.

C.Because they were curious about what was in the house.

20.Last Thursday,Michael and Linda stood behind large food trucks distributing meals to 4,000homeless people for their wedding reception on the border town of Kilis.The couple had decided that instead of hosting their friends and family for a traditional feast reception,they would feed the victims from an earthquake-stricken area.
The idea came from the bridegroom's father,Ted,who volunteers for a Turkish relief organization.For the past few years,the organization has distributed daily meals to thousands of people who've suffered from natural disasters.He approached a representative of the organization and suggested that the family cover part of the costs of feeding them for the day.
Then he told his son,who was surprised by the suggestion,but soon won over.When he told that to the bride,she was really shocked but finally accepted because in southeastern Turkey there is a real culture of sharing with people in need.They love to share their food,their table and everything they have.And afterwards she was quite amazed about it.So,they arrived at the distribution center on Thursday to spend the day serving food and taking photographs with their grateful recipients(接受者).
On Tuesday evening,the newly married couple were still pleased with their decision to quit a personal celebration for one with a greater good."It's like sharing a dinner with your friends and family who have this kind of thing on a daily basis or sharing something with people who don't even have the most basic things,"Michael said."Hopefully,this will also give the start for other wedding dinners to be held here with our brothers and sisters in need."

A.To attend Michael and Linda's wedding.

18.Traditional fairytales are being abandoned by parents because they are too scary for their young children,a study found.
    Research revealed one in five parents has ditched old classics such as Snow White and the Seven Dwarves and Rapunzel in favour of more modern books.One third of parents said their children have been left in tears after hearing the horrible details of Little Red Riding Hood.And nearly half of mothers and fathers refuse to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids as the themes of the story are kidnapping and execution.Similarly,Goldilocks and the Three Bears was also a tale likely to be left on the book shelf as parents felt it forgives stealing.
    The survey of 2,000 adults was conducted to mark the launch of the hit US drama GRIMM,which starts tonight at 9pm on Watch,and sees six episodes based on traditional fairytales.The poll found a quarter of parents polled wouldn't consider reading a fairytale to their child until they had reached the age of five,as they prompt too many awkward questions from their offspring.
Steve Hornsey,General Manager of Watch,said:"Bedtime stories are supposed to soothe children and send them off to sleep soundly.But as we see in GRIMM,fairytales can be dark and dramatic tales so it's understandable that parents worry about reading them to young children."
"As adults we can see the innocence in fairytales,but a five year old with an over active imagination could take things too seriously.Despite the dark nature of classic fairytales,as we see in GRIMM,good will triumph over evil and there is always a moral to the story."
   The study also found two thirds of mums and dads try to avoid stories which might give their children nightmares.
   However,half of parents said traditional tales are more likely to have a strong moral message than a lot of modern kids'books,such as The Gruffalo,The Hungary Caterpillar and the Mr.Men books.
36.Why some parents don't want to read Rumplestiltskin to their kids?D
A.Rumplestiltskin is too long
B.Rumplestiltskin is too difficult
C.Rumplestiltskin forgives stealing
D.Rumplestiltskin may have bad influence on Children
37.We can learn from paragraph 3 that Grimm isD
A.a fairytales book          
B.a movie for children
C.a play loved by children    
D.a drama based on traditional fairytales
38.The underlined word"soothe"in paragraph4 can be replaced byB
A.put down   B.calm down  C.take down  D.come down
39.Which of the following may Steve Hornsey agree to?A
A.There is a moral to a classic fairytale
B.Fairytales are dark
C.Adults take fairytales too seriously
D.Fairytales are not good for children's sleep
40.What's the author's attitude towards traditional fairytales?B
