After the earthquake,all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.‎ One Sunday,when I was reading a newspaper,a special picture touched me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves.I said to my seven-year-old twins,Brad and Brett,and three-year-old Meghan,“We have so much,and these poor people now have nothing. We’ll share what we have with them.”‎ I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this,I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favorite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes later,she came back with Lucy,her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys.“Oh,dear,” I said.“You don’t have to give Lucy. You love her so much.” Meghan said,“Lucy makes me happy,Mommy. Maybe she’ll make another little girl happy,too.”‎ I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It’s easy to give something that we don’t want any more,but hard to give what we cherish(珍爱),isn’t it?‎ ‎21.The writer has____children.‎ A.one B.two C.three D.four ‎22.The underlined word “donate” in Paragraph 3 probably means ___. ‎ A.捐赠 B.丢掉 C.展出 D.放好 ‎23.Lucy is the name of____.‎ A.a girl B.a game C.a doll D.an earthquake ‎24.What’s the best title of this passage?‎ A.A Family Story B.The Spirit of Giving C.The Way of Helping Others D.A Sad Experience B （基础型）‎ ‎ I am afraid of heights but two summers ago I climbed to a high place. Most of our high school had come along on a day trip to a beautiful beach village in Peru. After eating our lunches, many of us wanted to make the climb to an area around the village.‎ Do I turn back? “Yes!” Will I regret (后悔))it later? I really want to get to the top, but... At last, I decided at least to have a try.‎ My friend Tom was in front of me. Then, suddenly,he slipped (滑倒))and was about 10 feet back! My heart was beating faster until he stopped himself. Knowing that my friend Seth would be right behind me, I began the climb. I was soon past the first challenge safely, but not feeling much better about the rest of the climb. Looking down, I saw rocks everywhere. My breathing sped up, and my heart beat even faster, growing loud in my ears.‎ My friends kept climbing. But they did not forget me. Someone was always behind me to help hold my feet when necessary, and someone else was always in front to offer a hand up. With friends helping me by words and actions, I slowly gained ground.‎ Then we came to the worst part. The climb looked very close to vertical (垂直的). To me,the wise choice was to go back down. Melody encouraged me to go on and she made it safely first. I stopped, unsure of my footing. “You can do it, Jean! I’m right here,” Melody called. She waited patiently, not asking me to hurry. I took a few deep breaths and kept climbing.‎ With no more mistakes, we came to the top finally. I was dirty and tired. But it didn’t matter. I was at the top! I had never felt so alive.‎ ‎25.According to the text, the climb_______.‎ A.was done by all of the high school students B.happened on a morning two summers ago C.was near a beautiful beach village D.lasted for about two days ‎26.When her friends decided to go climbing, Jean______.‎ A.felt excited about it B.turned back to the village C.regretted going out with them D.wasn't sure whether to join them ‎27.The underlined part “gained ground” in Paragraph 4 probably means "______”.‎ A.lost heart B.moved forward C.climbed to the to D.accepted the friends ‎28.What do we know about the worst part of the climb?‎ A.Melody gave Jean words of encouragement. B.Jean waited patiently for Seth to catch up.‎ C.It was dirty and dangerous. D.Jean gave up.‎ C （拓展型）‎ Going green seems to be a fad (时尚) for a lot of people these days. Whether that is good or bad, we can't really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a lifestyle.‎ On April 22, 2011, we decided to go green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different green things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 different green things to do and this was no easy task.‎ With the idea of going green every single day for a year, Our Green Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all the green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.‎ Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat, choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don't need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites. Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.‎ Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planet.‎ ‎29.It was difficult for the couple to live a green life for the whole year because____. A.they were expected to follow the green fad B.they didn't know how to educate other ‎ people C.they were unwilling to reduce their energy D.they needed to perform unusual green tasks 30.What did the couple do over the course of Our Green Year? A.They tried to get out of their ungreen habits. B.They ignored others' ungreen behavior. C.They chose better chemical cleaners. D.They sold their home made food. 31.What can we infer from the last paragraph? A.The government will give support to the green project. B.The couple may continue their project in the future. C.Some people disagree with the couple's green ideas. D.Our Green Year is becoming a national campaign.‎ D （拓展型）‎ Fire fighting is a serious matter. Knowing what to do during a fire can save people’s lives. It is important to know the ways you can use and show them to everyone else in the family, such as stairways and emergency exits, but not elevators.‎ From the lower floors of buildings, escape through windows is possible. Learn the best way to get out from a window with the least chance of serious injury.‎ The second floor window is usually not very high from the ground. An average person, hanging by the fingertips will have a drop of about 6 feet to the ground. It is about the height of an average man. Of course, it is safer to jump a short way down than to stay in a burning building.‎ Windows are also useful when you are waiting for help. Be sure to keep the door closed before opening the window. Otherwise, smoke and fire may be drawn into the room. Keep your head low at the window to be sure you get fresh air rather than smoke that may have leaked(漏)into the room.‎ On the second or third floor, the best windows for escape are those which open onto a roof. From the roof a person can drop to the ground more safely. Dropping onto cement might end in injury. Bushes and trees can help you to have a soft landing.‎ ‎32.Which of the following should not be used when trying to escape from a fire?‎ A.windows B.elevators C.fire exits D.stairways ‎33.How far from the ground is the second floor window?‎ A.about 12 feet B.about 6 feet C.about the height of an average man D.nearly 10 feet ‎34.According to the passage, windows are _______ of escaping a fire.‎ A.the only way B.the best way C.safer than any other ways D.one of the possible ways ‎35.If you are on the second or third floor when a fire breaks out, you’d better ______.‎ A.drop directly onto the ground B.first drop onto a roof then onto the cement C.drop from a roof window then onto bushes or trees D.drop onto the cement rather than bushes and grass 三、任务型阅读 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Taking good notes is a time-saving skill that will help you to become a better student in several ways. 36__________ Second, your notes are excellent materials to refer to when you are studying for a test. Third, note-taking offers variety to your study time and helps you to hold your interest.

I really want to get to the top, but ... At last,I decided at least to have a try. ”可知,Jean —幵始对于是否要去爬山很犹豫。 3.词义猜测题。根据本段中的“必要时,在我身后的朋友托住我的脚,在我前面的朋友搭把手拉我”以及“friends help-ing me by words and actions”可知 ,作者开始慢慢有所进展 ,向着山顶前进。 4.推理判断题。根据倒数第二段的“Melody encouraged me to go on”和“‘You can do it,Jean!

To prove ‎ ‎46. finally 47. years 48. painful 49. how 50. happier ‎ Last week, I part in the Cultural Exchange Week. I enjoyed myself in England.

I will make full use of and learn English .‎ ‎ I hope Tom will come to China when it's for him!‎ 解析：第一处:根据时间状语Last week可知，谓语动词应用过去式，故将take改为took。‎ 第二处:place是可数名词，其前有several修饰，所以应用复致形式。故将place 改为places。‎ 第三处:have a better understanding of…为固定搭配， 意为“对……有更好的理解”。故在have后加a。‎ 第四处:be + 形容词 + enough to do sth 意为“足以......去做某事”。故将meeting改为meet。‎ 第五处:此处 we spent together 是定语从句，修饰先行词the days，关系词在定语从句中作spent 的宾语，所以应用关系代词that或which，或直接省略。故将when改为 that/which,或删除when。‎ 第六处:offer是及物动词，后可接双宾语，offer sb sth意为“提供给某人某物"。故删除to。‎ 第七处:It is of great help for sb to do sth 意为“做某事对某人来说是很有帮助的”故将with改为for。‎ 第八处:根据语境可知，此处指代前文中的a dictionary，所以应用it。故将them改为it。‎ 第九处:修饰动词应用副词，此处也可表示“把英语学得更好”，所以也可以用副词的比较级。故将good改为well或better。‎ 第十处:在be动词后作表语表示主语的性质、状态等，应用形容词。故将comenience改为convenient。‎ Dear Jack,‎ Congratulations to you on entering the final of the Chinese Speech Contest!
