But for me, whenever I do give money, that’s just the wrapping (包装) . The real gift is hidden inside—it’s love. And I haven’t ever found any reason to limit gifts of love.”    By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollars bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, “I’ll have the full cheese pizza.” “Full?” she asked. “It’s really big,” she added, although what she really meant to say was that it’d be too expensive for him. “Yeah, the full” “$18.65,” she said. The bills he was counting weren’t going to make it. I wasn’t intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, I realized that money was really just the wrapping.      I made my move. “Can you charge that pizza with my order” I said to the cashier. “Really?” the ‎ homeless-looking man said. “Really?” the young woman behind the counter repeated. “Yes, really.” That confused man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I was doing it, I added, “Just pay it forward for someone else.” And he said, “Well, you know what? I was actually treating those five homeless guys out there.” He was actually paying it forward, in the first place. What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man’s act of kindness. 25.What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. He believes not money but love matters. B. He is mean with his money. C. He cares little about money. D. He seldom gives money to the poor. 26.What made the author decide to help the man? A. The request from the homeless-looking man. B. His sympathy for the homeless-looking man. C. His recalling the talk with the businessman earlier that day. D. The urgency from the young woman behind the counter. 27.What is the best title for the passage? A. Money was just the wrapping   B. Helping a homeless man C. A talk with a businessman       D. Paying it forward C Daniel Anderson, a famous psychologist, believes it’s important to distinguish television’s influences on children from those of the family. We tend to blame TV, he says, for problems it doesn’t really cause, overlooking our own roles in shaping children’s minds.‎ ‎ One traditional belief about television is that it reduces a child’s ability to think and to understand the world. While watching TV, children do not merely absorb words and images (影像). Instead, they learn both explicit(明确的) and hidden meanings from what they see. Actually, children learn early the psychology of characters in TV shows. Furthermore, as many teachers agree, children understand far more when parents watch TV with them, explaining new words and ideas. Yet, most parents use an educational program as a chance to park their kids in front of the set and do something in another room.‎ ‎ Another argument against television is that it replaces reading as a form of entertainment. But ‎ according to Anderson, the amount of time spent watching television is not related to reading ability. TV doesn’t take the place of reading for most children; it takes the place of similar sorts of recreation, such as listening to the radio and playing sports. Things like parents’ educational background have a stronger influence on a child’s reading. “A child’s reading ability is best predicted by how much a parent reads.” Anderson says.‎ ‎ Traditional wisdom also has it that heavy television-watching lowers IQ (智商) scores and affects school performance. But here, too, Anderson notes that no studies have proved it. In fact, research suggests that it’s the other way around. “If you’re smart young, you’ll watch less TV when you’re older,” Anderson says. Yet, people of lower IQ tend to be lifelong television viewers.‎ ‎ For years researchers have attempted to show that television is dangerous to children. However, by showing that television promotes none of the dangerous effects as conventionally believed, Anderson suggests that television cannot be condemned without considering other influences.‎ ‎28.An educational program is best watched by a child _________.‎ A.on his own B.with other kids C.with his parents D.with his teachers ‎29.Which of the following is most related to children’s reading ability?‎ A.Radio-listening B.Television-watching ‎ C.Parents’ reading list D.Parents’ educational background ‎30.Anderson believed that _________.‎ A.the more a child watches TV, the smarter he is B.the younger a child is, the more he watches TV C.the smarter a child is, the less likely he gets addicted to TV D.the less a child watches TV, the better he performs at school ‎31.What is the main purpose of the passage?‎ A.To advise on the educational use of TV.‎ B.To describe TV’s harmful effects on children.‎ C.To explain traditional views on TV influences.‎ D.To present Anderson’s unconventional ideas.‎ D ‎ I love charity (慈善) shops and so do lots of other people in Britain because you find quite a ‎ few of them on every high street. The charity shop is a British institution, selling everything from clothes to electric goods, all at very good prices. You can get things you won’t find in the shops anymore. The thing I like best about them is that your money is going to a good cause and not into the pockets of profit-driven companies, and you are not damaging the planet, but finding a new home for unwanted goods.     The first charity shop was opened in 1947 by Oxfam. The famous charity’s appeal to aid postwar Greece had been so successful that it had been flooded with donations (捐赠物). They decided to set up a shop to sell some of these donations to raise money for that appeal. Now there are over 7,000 charity shops in the UK. My favourite charity shop in my hometown is the Red Cross shop, where I always find children’s books, all 10 or 20 pence each.     Most of the people working in the charity shops are volunteers, although there is often a manager who gets paid. Over 90% of the goods in the charity shops are donated by the public. Every morning you see bags of unwanted items outside the front of shops, though they don’t encourage this. They would rather ask people to bring things in when the shop is open.     The shops have very low running costs: all profits go to charity work. Charity shops raise more than ￡110 million a year, funding (资助) medical research, overseas aid, supporting sick and poor children, homeless and disabled people, and much more. What better place to spend your money? You get something special for a very good price and a good moral sense. You provide funds to a good cause and tread lightly on the environment. 32.The author loves the charity shop mainly because of _______. A.its convenient location B.its great variety of goods C.its spirit of goodwill D.its nice shopping environment 33.The first charity shop in the UK was set up to _______. A.sell cheap products B.deal with unwanted things C.raise money for patients D.help a foreign country 34.Which of the following is TRUE about charity shops? A.The operating costs are very low. B.The staff are usually well paid. C.90% of the donations are second-hand. D.They are open twenty-four hours a day. 35.Which of the following may be the best title for the passage? A.What to Buy in a Charity Shops B.Charity Shop: Its Origin &‎ ‎ Development C.Charity Shop: Where You Buy to Donate D.The Public’s Concern about Charity Shops 第二节（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。‎ How to Make Plans Most people get scared when talking about planning or writing plans. 36.
