     Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work, others that a wealthy person simply wants to
distribute his or her fortune before dying. But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to
deserving causes,accompanied by an article from the local paper, has made a northern German city
believe in fairytales (童话).
     The first envelope was sent to a victim support group. It contained ?10,000 with a cutting from the
Braunschiveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was robbed of her handbag;
similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes, each containing  ?10,000, then arrived at a kindergarten
and a church.
     The envelopes keep coming, and; so far at least  ?190,000 has been distributed. Last month, one of
them was sent to the newspaper 's own office. It came after a story it published about Tom, a
14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident. The receptionist at the
Braunschiveiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of  ? 500 inside with
a copy of the article. The name of the family was underlined.
     "I was driving when I heard the news," Claudia Neumann, the boy's mother, told Der Spiegel
magazine. "I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."
     The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible and for a course
of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
     "For someone to act so selflessly, for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of
himself, was astonishing," Mrs. Neumann said. Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood
character, taking from banks to give to the needy.
     Henning Noske,the editor of the Braunschiveiger Zeitung, said: "Maybe it is an old person who is
about to die. We just do not know." However, he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero,
for fear that discovery may stop the donations.
1. The Braunschiveiger Zeitung is the name of ______.
A. a church
B. a bank
C. a newspaper
D. a magazine
2.Which of the following is TRUE about the donation to Tom?
A. The donation amounted to  ?190,000.

A
Cold weather has a great effect on how our minds and our bodies work. Maybe that is why there are so many expressions that use the word cold. For centuries, the body’s blood has been linked closely with the emotions. People who show no human emotions or feelings, for example, are said to be cold-blooded. Cold-blooded people act in merciless ways. They may do brutal things to others, and not by accident. For example, a newspaper says the police are searching for a cold-blooded killer. The killer murdered someone, not in self-defense. He seemed to kill for no reason, and with no emotion, as if taking someone’s life meant nothing. Cold can affect other parts of the body. The feet, for example. Heavy socks can warm your feet, if your feet are really cold. But there is an expression -- to get cold feet -- that has nothing to do with cold or your feet.
The expression means being afraid to do something you had decided to do. For example, you agree to be president of an organization. But then you learn that all the other officers have resigned. All the work of the organization will be your responsibility. You are likely to get cold feet about being president when you understand the situation.
Cold can also affect your shoulder. You give someone the cold shoulder when you refuse to speak to them. You treat them in a distant, cold way. The expression probably comes from the physical act of turning your back toward someone, instead of speaking to him face-to-face. You may give a cold shoulder to a friend who has not kept a promise he made to you. Or, to someone who has lied about you to others.
A cold fish is not a fish. It is a person. But it is a person who is unfriendly, unemotional and shows no love or warmth. A cold fish does not offer much of himself to anyone.
Out in the cold is an expression often heard. It means not getting something that everybody else got. A person might say that everybody but him got a pay raise, that he was left out in the cold. And it is not a pleasant place to be.
41. The passage is intended to tell us that______.
A. cold weather has a great effect on human bodies
B. many English expressions contain the word cold
C. cold is a word closely linked with human emotions
D. the word cold has many different meanings in English

A. Cold-blooded.                 B. To get cold feet.
C. A cold shoulder.                D. A cold fish.
44. You can say Tom ______ if the teacher gives all the boys except him a pen as a prize.
A. is given the cold shoulder
B. is left out in the cold
C. has got cold feet
D. is murdered by a cold-blooded killer
45. We can draw a conclusion from the passage that ______.
A. all the expressions containing the word cold have a negative meaning
B. all the expressions containing the word cold have something to do with cold
C. People who show no human emotions or feelings have cold blood
D. Many parts of the human body can be badly affected by cold.


第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Bargaining is an art at Xiu Shui Market in Beijing. The following tips can help you get good offers for most things you buy, especially for clothing.
Be aware that the starting price offered by the seller is at least 40% over the general price acceptable. It’s usually 80% over. It can be up to 150% over. So, always try to drop the seller’s offering price as much as possible before opening your mouth with a price.
Have an idea of the value of what you want. You can consult your Chinese friends or the hotel staff about the price. You may not be able to get the lowest prices stated at Xiu Shui Market, especially on weekends or festival seasons when there are lots of tourists around.
Do walk away once you’ve offered your final price while the seller is not ready to accept. If you get called back, you know you are close. If you do not get called back, go to a similar stall(摊位) and try again with a slightly higher price. Note that if you’ve made a deal, you am then expected to buy the item.
You will help your chances at getting a good price by being confident, patient, and friendly. Treat it as a kind of game to get the most out of it—getting angry or rode will never help to bring the price down.
56. When can you get the lowest price at Xiu Shui Market according to the passage?
A. When the sellers are busy.                       B. On crowded weekends.
C. When there’re few buyers.                       D. On festival seasons.
57. The underlined part “a deal” (in Paragraph 4) most probably means      .
A. an appointment with someone                    B. an agreement in business
C. a choice in shopping                            D. a delivery of goods
58. ff the seller accepts your final price, you should       .
A. walk away and wait for the seller to call you back
B. go on bargaining for a lower price
C. go to a similar stall for a better price
D. pay the seller for what you want
59. From the tips we can learn that the seller’s offer may be affected by       .
A. the buyer’s manners    B. the seller’s position   C. Chinese friends     D. hotel staff

     So long as teachers fail to distinguish between teaching and learning, they will continue to undertake to do
for which only children can do for themselves. Teaching children to read is not passing reading on to them. It
is certainly not endless hours spent in activities about reading. Douglas insists that "reading cannot be taught
directly and schools should stop trying to do the impossible."
     Teaching and learning are two entirely different processes. They differ in kind and function. The function
of teaching is to create the conditions and the climate that will make it possible for children to devise the most
efficient system for teaching themselves to read. Teaching is also public activity: It can be seen and observed.
     Learning to read involves all that each individual does not make sense of the world of printed language.
Almost all of it is private, for learning is an occupation of the mind, and that process is not open to public
scrutiny. If teacher and learner roles are not interchangeable, what then can be done through teaching that will
aid the child in knowledge. Smith has one principal rule for all teaching instructions."Make learning to read
easily, which means making reading a meaningful, enjoyable and frequent experience for children."
     When the roles of teacher and learner are seen for what they are, and when both teacher and learner fulfill
them appropriately, then much of the pressure and feeling of failure for both is eliminated. Learning to read is
made easier when teachers create an environment where children are given the opportunity to solve the problem of learning to read by reading.
