Far below lay the earth; brown and dry. The little Cloud could see the poor people of the earth working and suffering in the 31   fields, while she was dancing on the morning breeze(微风). "Oh, if I could only 32   the poor people down there!" she thought, "They look so worriedand tired. If I could but make their work 33  , or give the hungry food or the thirsty a drink." On earth it grew hotter and hotter, the sun shined so strongly that the people were fainting(晕) in its rays. But they had to go on with their work, for they were very poor. As the day passed, the Cloud became larger. Sometimes they stood and 34   at the Cloud, as if they were saying, "Ah, if you could help us!" Her 35   to do something for the people was even greater. "I will help you. I will!" said the Cloud. And she began to go down toward the earth. But suddenly she remembered: if the Clouds go too near the earth, they will die. So she 36   herself from going down, and flew here and there, thinking, thinking. At last, she stood quite still, and said clearly and 37  , "Men of earth, I will help you, come what may!" The thought made her suddenly big, strong, and powerful. Never had she dreamed that she could be so big. She lifted her head and 38   her wings far over the fields and woods. She was so great that men and animals were surprised at the sight; the trees and the grass bowed before her. "Yes, I will help you," cried the Cloud, "I will give my 39   for you!" As she said the words, a wonderful light came from her heart, the sound of thunder(雷) rolled through the sky, and a love greater than words can tell fled the Cloud down, down, close to the earth she swept, and gave up her life in a welcoming shower of rain. People 40  , "We are blessed(保佑)!" Then they saw as they looked up that over the whole countryside, a lovely rainbow crossed the sky. Soon that, too, was gone. But long, long afterward the men and animals the Cloud saved kept her blessing in their hearts.31.A. wetB. hotC. beautifulD. dangerous32.A. helpB. feedC. guideD. follow33.A. busierB. greaterC. betterD. easier34.A. called outB. cried outC. looked upD. spoke up35.A. jobB. wishC. energyD. spirit36.A. heldB. freedC. sufferedD. separated37.A. sadlyB. angrilyC. politelyD. proudly38.A. carriedB. spreadC. coveredD. shaped39.A. rainB. loveC. handD. life40.A. wonderedB. smiledC. cheeredD. welcomed四、阅读理解（共15小题；共30分）AThe Coolest Inventions Great inventions often change the world.

There was nothing that she wanted more than a Happy Hannah doll. It was $29.95. Unluckily, Jenny didn't even have the 95 cents. As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brother's housework, cleaning the floor, washing the dishes all month, but even then she would have only eleven dollars. Suddenly, something small and pink in the snow caught her eyes. Jenny walked over and picked it up from the snow. It was a beautiful wallet. She opened the wallet and found many dollars and a woman's driver's license Jenny put the wallet into her bag quickly. She turned around and walked back. Jenny's heart beat fast as she entered the store. She had long dreamed about this moment, but something didn't feel right. As she got to the Happy Hannah dolls, she pushed away her feelings. She grabbed(抓起) one and walked toward the checkout. As Jenny was waiting to pay, her mobile phone rang. Jenny looked around, startled(吓了一跳). It was her grandma. Jenny's heart was suddenly filled with love and warmth when she thought of her. She put the doll down and answered the phone. "Hi, Grandma? I'm going to be a little bit late tonight.Alright.I love you, too." Jenny left the store and walked all the way to 301 West Street. The woman who answered the door looked sad. "Here, I found this in the snow," Jenny said. "Oh, good God! This is the money for the orphanage(孤儿院)! Thank you!" After doing her brother's housework for three months, Jenny finally got a Happy Hannah doll. She was so happy because she could play with her doll and look her grandma in the eye.45.

Lexa Hillyer's first novel, Proof of Forever, deals with common topics in young adult literature such as friendships, relationships and self-discovery, but is filled with surprises. So it is different from other novels. The main characters, four seventeen-year-old girlsJoy, Tali, Luce and Zoe promised to be best friends forever. But, like many friends, they grew away from one another as their interests changed. They hardly speak. After Joy asks the friends to get together before they leave for college, a photo booth camera (机器拍照亭) moves the girls around two years back in time to their last summer at camp. The summer will change them forever again. The main part of the novel is set in the past. The four girls are troubled by the absurdity(荒谬) of their time-traveling failure. With one week of camp left, they finally realize they have to recreate their last summer together to return to the present day. They must learn to work together, or serious problems may happen. Along the way, the girls learn that the past doesn't necessarily repeat itselfIt's filled with new memories and discoveries. The main characters are very different from one another, leading to a lot of interesting, humorous moments. Proof of Forever is not a common story about friendship. Many of its plots(情节), such as losing trust in a parent and finding out one's secrets, are very exciting. While the storyline might interest younger readers, it is most suitable for readers 15 and older. Because of its many plots and four main characters, the story is sometimes difficult to follow. The storyline jumps from character to character and from problem to problem, resulting in an interesting but confusing story. The ending is very surprising. The storyline takes an unexpected twist(转折) that may even result in a few tears. However, the ending needlessly leaves a few questions unanswered and some problems to deal with. Proof of Forever is a good read, telling the ups and downs of coming of age and the power of friendship in an honest way.49. The novel Proof of Forever is different from others because  .A. it includes some common topicsB. is is Lexa Hillyer's first novelC. it gives readers many surprisesD. it brings back readers' old memories50. What happens when the girls get together?A. They promise to be best friends forever.B. They talk about their last summer camp.C. They move the photo booth camera away.D. They have a time-travelling to the past.51. What must the girls do to avoid serious problems?A. Work as a team.B. Change their interests.C. Trust their parents.D. Repeat their past life.52. What can we learn from the passage?A. The success of the novel depends on its ending.B. The girls suffer a lot but rebuild their friendship.C. Memories of the past bring trouble to the girls' life.D. Young readers love the novel because of its simple plots.D We can't control everything that happens to us. We can't control where our families came from, how much we will pay for school next fall, or how others might treat us. But there is one thing we can control: how we respond(回应) to what happens to us. And that is what counts! This is why we need to stop worrying about things we can't control and start worrying about things we can. Look at the picture. The inner circle is our circle of control. It includes things we have control overourselves, our personality, our choices, and our response to whatever happens to us. Outside the circle of control is the circle of no control. It includes the thousands of things we can't do anything about. Now, what will happen if we spend our time and energy worrying about things we can't control, like a rude comment(评价), a past mistake, or the fact that it's raining on a good hair day? You guessed it! We'll feel even more out of control, as if we were hurt. For example, if your sister is angry with you and you're always complaining(抱怨) about her weakness, that won't do anything to fix the problem. It'll only cause you to blame(责备) your problems on her and lose power yourself. Don't listen to the rude comment, avoid making the mistake next time, and get an umbrella for the rain. You are the star of your own life. Focus(关注) on what you can influence. Renatha told me a story that explains this point. A week before her upcoming volleyball game, she learned that the mother of a player on the other team had made fun of Renatha's volleyball skills. Instead of paying no attention to the comments, Renatha became angry and spent the rest of the week t
