I was coming back home late at night in a ”Sharing” minivan. In Hyderabad, India, it is a cheap and quick means of transport. The van drivers ply (揽客) as many as 13 people at times in a vehicle which is designed for the transport of 8 people．Our van was crowded as well. People were getting off and on at many places.

On the journey, one girl waved her hand to ask the driver to stop. While getting down, she tripped and fell．None of us notice it，as it was dark. The driver was waiting for her to pay. It was then that we saw the girl was on her knees by the side of the road. Another passenger and l got down and held her up．

Even in pain, the girl held up a note and asked us to pay the driver．The other passenger took the note and paid the driver．My stop was a few hundred meters away. I decided to stay with her till she was fine. I paid the driver for myself and he took off with the other passengers.

I neither knew her nor did I know what to do, but I was there, saying some comforting words to a stranger in pain. I asked her to stand still for a few minutes. We then looked for a place for her to sit. From out of nowhere, her friend joined us.

We made her sit in a nearby grassland and her friend rushed to get a taxi. In the meantime, she examined her leg and her ankle had swollen up (肿胀). It looked like a sprain (扭伤). Once her friend came back, they took the taxi and rushed to a hospital. Before they left, the girl thanked me and said they could manage as it was only a small sprain.

I do not know if I did enough. But I feel I gave some comfort to her in a small way.

Many people like to travel by plane, but I don't like it because an airport is usually far from the city. You have to get there early and wait for the plane for hours to take off and it is often late. You can't open the windows. You can't choose the food. Planes are fast, but they still take hours to go out of the airport and into the city.

I like traveling by train. I think trains are safe. Railway stations are usually in cities. When you are late for a train, you can catch another one. You can walk around in the train and open the windows. You can see many interesting things on your way. I know it takes a little more time.

I also like cars. You can start your journey when you want to, and you don't need to get to a railway station or a bus stop. Also you can carry many things with you in a car. But sometimes there are too many cars on the road.

1.Why do many people like to travel by plane?

A. Because it is fast. B. Because it is safe.

C. Because you can walk around in the plane.

2.Which is not the good thing about the train?

A. It is safe. B. It takes a little more time.

C. You can open the windows.

3.If you want to take a lot of things with you, what do you take to go out?

A. A bus. B. A car. C. A train.

4.What is the bad thing about the car?

A. You needn't go to a station.

B. You can start your journey when you want to.

C. There are too many cars on the road.

One day, my grandpa went fishing and let me come with him. He handed me the rod（鱼杆） and taught me how to throw my line into the water.

The sun warmed us. We sat and talked. “I remember when I could sit here and watch the fish swimming in the water,” he said. “Sometimes, they’d jump out and land beside me. I didn’t even need a fishing rod then.”

“We have to be patient,” he continued. “The fish may come or may not. It doesn’t matter. We are out in the sun. It’s a beautiful day. If it rained, we couldn’t be here. We’re lucky to have the warmth of the sun.”

He leaned（倚靠）back against a tree. “Yes, it’s a great day,” he said.

I watched our bobbers（浮子）. No fish pulled them under the water that day. It didn’t matter. I was with Grandpa. I felt grown up. Just being with him was special.

He was well liked by everyone. He had worked hard all his life for what little he had, but he could still find time to laugh. I wanted to be like him when I grew up.

He was an amazing man. In the short time we had together, he taught me many things: how to fish, the value of a good laugh, the value of a good friend, respect for my elders and the importance of working hard and loving harder. This list is long.

1.How was the weather on that day?

A. Rainy. B. Cloudy. C. Sunny.

2.After fishing with Grandpa, the writer _____.

A. enjoyed the time with him B. didn’t want to fish with him again

C. felt disappointed for not catching any fish

第二节 摘录要点（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读下面的短文，根据短文内容填写表格，将信息补充完整，每空不超过3个单词，并在答题卡上将答案填写在对应题号的横线上。

We all need a healthy environment, but we make waste every day and it is bad for our environment. Here are some ideas for us to live in a green life.

Remember these three words: reduce, reuse and recycle.

Reduce means “use less”. Don’t waste things. This saves money and reduces pollution. Before we buy something new, think if it is really necessary or that maybe the old one is just as good!

Reuse means “use again”. Use things for a long time if possible. We should take care of them so that they will last, and we should repair them if they are broken instead of throwing them away and buying new ones.

Recycle means “change something into something else”. Although it takes energy to do so, it’s better than throwing things away or burning them. Find out what can be recycled in your neighborhood and take part in recycling programs.

第三节 回答问题(共4小题；每小题2分，满分8分）阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容回答问题，并在答题卡上将答案填写在对应题号的横线上。

Helping others is easier than you think. You don't need to wait to become a rich man like Bill Gates to help poor. You can become a volunteer, you can donate (捐献) your time, you can donate your old clothes and so on. And by doing so, you can become a better and happier person. 

Choose some people to support. For example, homeless people, poor children and so on. All of these are suitable. 

Decide what you are able to give. Yes! Sometimes it isn't only money—you can donate your time as a volunteer, you can donate your knowledge teaching poor children, you can donate your old clothes, you can donate food or you can share a meal with a hungry child. 

Tell people about it. Tell your friends or your children. Put it in your blog（博客） or on your website. In this way, the good work you do will be multiplied (增加)!

1.Is it difficult to help others in the writer’s opinion?

___________________________________________________________________

2.Whom can you choose to support in the passage?

3.What does the underlined word “it” mean?
