21、   My kids and I were heading into the superstore over the weekend． On the way， we saw a man covered by a blanket and holding a sign that said， "Lost my job． Family to Feed．"

At this store， a sight like this is not normal． It was obvious that the man was embarrassed， but desperate． My 10-year-old noticed him and said how bad it must be to have to stand outside in the cold wind．

While we were in the store， I asked each of the kids to pick something they thought our "friend" outside would need． They picked a couple of apples， a package of bread， a sandwich， some cheese and a bottle of juice． Then my 17-year-old asked， "Can we get him a gift card？" I thought about it． We were low on cash ourselves， but …well， sometimes giving from our "need" instead of our "abundance （充裕）" is just what we need to do! All the kids declared something they could do away with for the week．

We quickly checked out， with the foods he could eat at the moment， and a gift card for the store． At the suggestion of my 16-year-old， we also bought a hot cup of coffee， and then drove to the end of the parking lot， where our "friend" was holding his sign．

We handed him the coffee and the bag of food． He thanked us with watery eyes． When I handed him the gift card and said he could use it for whatever his family might need， he burst into tears， obviously overwhelmed and grateful．

Though I wished we could have done more， I can't help but think about how this experience has been such a wonderful opportunity for our family． The feeling of helping someone else has affected them all---they cannot stop talking about it， and for four days now have been searching for others we can help!

Things would have played out so differently if I had simply said， "No， we really don't have money to give more，" or something to that effect． Stepping out not only helped a brother in need， it also gave my kids the______ taste of helping others．

【1】Which is the right order of what happened in the story？ ______

a． The man was grateful with tears．

b． Each child picked some food for the man in the store．

c． A poor man lost his job and asked people for help．

d． All kids did away with something and gave him a gift card．

e． They saw the poor man outside the supermarket and took pity on him．

A. c-e-b-d-a

B. c-e-d-b-a

C. e-c-d-b-a

D. e-c-b-d-a

【2】What does the underlined word "it" in Paragraph 3 mean？ ______

A. giving him some food

B. giving from our abundance

C. giving from our need

D. giving him a postcard

【3】The best word could be filled in the blank in the last paragraph should be ______ ．

22、   On the night of September 19, 1961, Betty Hill and her husband Barney were driving home through the White Mountains from Niagara Falls. They were travelling on a nearly deserted two-lane highway when Betty noticed a steady light in the sky that was getting bigger and brighter.

She thought it was a planet or a star. Barney, stimulated at her excitement, said it was probably just a wandering aeroplane. Whatever it was, it appeared to be following them.

They stopped their car for a closer look. What they said happened next, changed their lives. The flying object was noiseless. It appeared to be spinning. It was as big as a jet but shaped like a pancake.

So formed the tale of Betty Hill, a New Hampshire social worker who, with Barney, a postal worker, claimed to be kidnapped by aliens, who were from outer space, on a moonlit night about 60 years ago.

After reluctantly going public with her experience, Hill, who died of cancer at her New Hampshire home, aged 85, became a celebrity on the UFO circuit and was known as the “first lady of UFOs”.

Intriguingly, at the time of the incident, the Hills remembered nothing except that they had spied a strange object in the sky. Later, troubled by nightmares and other stress-related pains, the couple underwent hypnosis(催眠) where the full story came out with the aid of Boston psychiatrist Benjamin Simon, an expert in medical hypnosis.

On their night of contact the Hills arrived home at 5 a.m., unable to account for two lost hours. They were also confused by the odd marks on their telescopes, deep signs on the tops of Barney’s best shoes, Betty’s torn dress and strange circular markings on their car that made the needle of a compass jump wildly.

After seeing them for six months, the psychiatrist concluded the Hills’ lost memory about the hours they lost on that night in 1961 “appeared to involve an amazing experience on the part of both of the Hills”. Whether the experience had been fantasy or reality, Simon could not say, but he said he was convinced they had not been lying. He guessed that it had been a kind of shared dream.

Reports of aliens capturing humans and taking them aboard oddly shaped spacecraft were “comparatively rare” before 1975. After a movie, “The UFO Incident”, about the Hills came out, however, such stories increased.

【1】When they saw the strange object in the sky, Barney and Betty Hill ______________.

A．were astonished at its strange flight and noise

B．regarded it as just a wandering car following them

C．realized immediately what the danger it might cause

D．showed curiosity in discovering what it really was

【2】The word “Intriguingly” in paragraph 6 most probably means “______________”.

A．Ridiculously

B．Temporarily

C．Remarkably

D．Mysteriously

【3】The Hills later sought the help of a psychiatrist because ______________.

A．they had lots of secrets in their lives after the strange experience

B．their lives were greatly disturbed by the unexpected experience

C．they wanted to share their unforgettable experience with the expert

D．they hoped to forget completely what had happened to them

【4】This article was written in order to ______________.

A．describe an unusual event to the readers

B．convince readers of the existence of UFOs

C．record how people were caught by aliens

D．warn people of the dangers the UFOs cause

23、   Each day, 10-year-old Seth asked his mom for more and more lunch money. Yet he seemed skinnier than ever and came home from school hungry. It turned out that Seth was handing his lunch money to fifth grader，who was threatening to beat him up if he didn't pay.

Most kids have been made fun of by a brother or a friend at some point. And it's not usually harmful when done in a playful and friendly way, and both kids find it funny. But when teasing becomes hurtful, unkind, and constant, it crosses the line into bullying and needs to be stopped.

Bullying is intentional torment(折磨)in physical or psychological ways. It can range from hitting, name-calling and threats to blackmailing(勒索)money and possessions. Some kids bully others by deliberately separating them and spreading rumours about them. Others use social media or electronic messaging to make fun of others or hurt their feelings.

It's important to take bullying seriously and not just brush it off as something that kids have to tolerate. The effects can be serious and affect kids' sense of safety and self-worth. In severe cases, bullying has contributed to tragedies, such as suicides and school shootings.

Kids bully for a variety of reasons. Sometimes they pick on kids because they need a victim—someone who seems emotionally or physically weaker, or just acts or appears different in some way—to feel more important, popular, or in control. Although some bullies are bigger or stronger than their victims, that's not always the case.

Sometimes kids bully others because that's the way they've been treated. They may think their behavior is normal because they come from families or other settings where everyone regularly gets angry and shouts or calls each other names.

Unless your child tells you about bullying—or has visible injuries—it can be difficult to figure out if its happening.

【1】What is the author's purpose of telling Seth's story?

A．To introduce the topic of bullying.

B．To seek help for the victims of bullying.

C．To analyze the cause of bullying.

D．To display the effects of bullying on kid

【2】What does the phrase “brush it off”（in paragraph 4）probably mean?

A．Remove bullying.

B．Ignore bullying.

C．Avoid bullying.

D．Punish bullying.

【3】According to the passage, which of the following about bullying is NOT true?

A．Bullying is accidental behaviors.

B．Those who bully get emotional satisfaction.

C．The weak are easy to be bullied.

D．The experience of being bullied can lead to bullying.

【4】What will the following paragraph most probably talk about?

A．Problems of bullying.

B．Cause and effect of bullying.

C．Signs of bullying.

D．Psychological reasons of bullying.

24、Late last year, a French company called Carmat received approval in Europe for its total artificial heart. It’s exactly what it sounds like; a heart made of synthetic and biological materials intended for implantation into people who need heart transplants. Now, just half a year later, the first US patient has received one of the Carmat artificial hearts (CAH).

The transplant took place last week in a 39-year-old man at Duke University Hospital in North Carolina. The man didn’t go to the hospital expecting to have a heart transplant, but it ended up saving his life.

After experiencing unexpected heart failure, he was diagnosed with advanced coronary artery disease and went in for bypass surgery.

When his condition quickly worsened, his medical team realized bypass surgery wasn’t going to do it, but by that point a traditional heart transplant had become too risky. The patient was in the right place, because not just any transplant center could have implanted an artificial heart.

The device weighs 900 grams, or just under 2 pounds (about three times the weight of the average human heart). The external setup is a bit heavier; recipients will have to carry about nine pounds of equipment, including a controller, a bag of actuator fluid, and two battery packs. In the case of the Duke patient, his artificial heart will stay remotely connected to the hospital’s system so that his doctors can monitor it and be sure it’s functioning as it should.

Just days after the US transplant, a similar transplant took place in Naples, Italy, marking Carmat’s first commercial sale of the heart (the difference being that this patient’s transplant was planned, not done as part of a trial).

【1】What did the 39-year-old patient go to hospital expecting to have?

A．A heart failure.

B．A heart transplant.

C．A physical exam.

D．A bypass surgery.

【2】Why was the patient in the right place?

A．Because that hospital had something to save his life.

B．Because there were the best doctors in that hospital.

C．Because he knew his medical team well enough.

D．Because he wanted an artificial heart.

【3】What does the underlined word “recipients” in Paragraph 5 mean?

A．Doctors.

B．Patients.

C．Researchers.

D．Nurses.

【4】Which of the following can be the best title?

A．CAH Transplanted into First US Patient

B．Carmat Received Approval in Europe

C．First Commercial Sale of CAH

D．Man Saved by CAH

26、阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

When I arrived home from school, night was falling. A call came from the public: a bird of unknown species was being attacked by a group of noisy children in his front garden. He scared them off and grabbed their victim. I immediately called for my classmate Jack to the spot.

We were standing in front of a stranger’s house in an unfamiliar street, rescue box in hand. My head full of instructions to follow. “The bird would be our first test as a volunteer wildlife rescuer!” Jack said excitedly. We had completed the two-day intensive training course the previous month and learned the basic skills of rescuing animals in various situations.

But we were anxious, too. After all, it was the first time for us to rescue a bird. Would I be able to transfer the bird neatly into my rescue box? Many worries flashed in my mind. Sensing my unease about the act ahead, Jack said, “These things are pretty easy to deal with!”

I was wondering what kind of bird it was when a kind-looking man appeared and led us inside to see our very first patient. I lifted the edge of the shoe box very slightly to see an angry-looking bird standing to attention on very thin and long legs, together with a slice of banana and a small dish of water. He didn’t know its true name but the folks called the creature Red Fan. “It’s eaten some banana,” said the man proudly. The poor soul seemed rather nervous, so l decided not to grab it by hand but just transfer the whole shoe box into my rescue box.

Back home, we could only see some minor injuries in the left wing, but there was no blood on its feathers. Jack managed to treat the injuries with some iodophor (碘伏药水). We assessed its condition to find out if it was appropriate to release the bird the next day. How could we help it spend the night peacefully? We hadn’t seen this species of bird before, let alone its habits.

注意：

1. 续写词数要求应为150左右；

2. 请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。

“Why not do a search on the Internet?” suggested Jack.

_________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

The next day, we were glad to see the bird was well enough.
