We decided to sacrifice our luxurious city life to move to a seaside village with our children aged 9 and 3. In the city, we had a beautiful home and plenty of money but little real security because crime was on the increase every day. We never knew if we would all make it home safely each night. We were very happy in the new town but life was very difficult economically. Our income was very much dependent on tourism and the jobs at other times are few. Although many of the long-standing residents live well, it is a very competitive environment for newcomers. Reading the newspapers from big cities assured us that we had made the right choice. There is so much violence and crime there! However, it was not always easy to explain to the children why they could no longer have what they used to have, especially when our "rich" friends came from the city to visit us. Generally, they have so much but think they have so little and are always looking for more. One day, one of our rich friends came to visit us. His son preferred riding in the back of our beat-up little pickup (小卡车) to his father' s big modern car. Our little daughter called me and said, “Mom, please help me to explain to James the reason why he is wrong. He said, ' today, if you don't have money you are nothing.' I know that is not true. If you do have money you share it with your friends and if they don't have money, you share it with them. That is what makes us all rich." This made me realize that the sacrifice was well worth it. Our kids understand that they may not have all the spoils of city life but they do have a solid set of values and they know that our most precious gifts are our good friends and a wonderful environment.24. What was the reason why the family moved away from the city? A. They were tired of city life. B. The city was not safe enough. C. The people in the city were not friendly. D. The cost of living in the city was too high.25. Why was it "a very competitive environment" for them according to the author? A. The residents were all very poor. B. It was hard to make a living. C. Their children couldn't get what they had in the city. D. They had few friends in their new environment.26. What assured the author that they had made the right choice according to the passage? A. What she read in the newspaper. B. The beautiful scenery of countryside. C. The residents' living conditions. D. That fact that they had been accustomed to the new place.27. What does the underlined word "beat-up" probably mean? A. Old.B. Convenient.C. Powerful.D. Expensive.28. What did the family gain from their sacrifice? A. They had a beautiful house in the seaside village. B. They made a lot of money during the tourist seasons. C. The parents got very good jobs in the new town. D. The children developed good values.CIt was Thanksgiving morning and in the crowded kitchen of my small home I was busy preparing the traditional Thanksgiving turkey when the doorbell rang. I opened the front door and saw two small children in rags(破旧衣服) huddling together inside the storm door on the top step. "Any old papers, lady? " asked one of them. I was busy. I wanted to say "no" until I looked down at their feet. They were wearing thin little sandals(凉鞋), wet with heavy snow. “Come in and I'll make you a cup of hot cocoa.” They walked over and sat down at the table. Their wet sandals left marks upon the floor. I served them cocoa and bread with jam to fight against the cold outside. Then I went back to the kitchen and started again on my household budget. The silence in the front room struck me. I looked in. The girl held the empty cup in her hands, looking at it. The boy asked in a flat voice, "Lady, are you rich? " "Am I rich? no!" I looked at my shabby slipcovers(旧家具套). The girl put her cup back in its saucer (茶托;浅碟)carefully and said, "Your cups match your saucers." Her voice was hungry with a need that no amount of food could supply. They left after that, holding their bundles of papers against the wind. They hadn't said "Thank you." They didn't need to. They had reminded me that I had so much for which to be grateful. Plain blue china(瓷的) cups and saucers were only worth five pence. But they matched. I tasted the potatoes and stirred the meat soup. Potatoes and brown meat soup, a roof over our heads, my man with a good steady job-these matched, too. I moved the chairs back from the fire and cleaned the living room. The muddy prints of small sandals were still wet upon my floor. Let them be for a while, I thought, just in case I should begin to forget how rich I am.29. Why did the writer let the children in?A. She showed great pity on them. B. She wanted to sell old papers.C. She knew them and wanted to make them a cup of cocoa.D. She wanted to invite them to her Thanksgiving party.30. The girl thought the writer was rich perhaps because_A. she saw that the lady's room was comfortable B. she saw the cups matched the saucersC. the writer's slipcovers were very new D. the woman had expensive clothes31.What was the weather probably like when the story happened?A. cloudy B. sunny C. windy D. snowy32. From the passage, we can infer that whether you are rich depends on_A. how much money you have had B. how you feel about your lifeC. how you have helped others D. what job you are doing DMost children now chat daily either online or through their mobile phones. They are connecting to a huge number of other children all over the world. Some are shy “in real life” but are confident to communicate with others online; others find support from people of their own age on relationship issues, or problems at home. Sometimes the online world, just like the real world, can introduce problems, such as arguments. Going online is great fun, but there are also a few people who use the Internet for offensive (冒犯性的) or illegal aims. Children must be made aware of both the good things and the dangers. To keep children safe your management must cover the family computer. Just as you decide which TV pro-grams are suitable, you need to do the same for the websites and chat rooms your children visit. Remind your children that online friends are still strangers. Re-minding them of the risks will keep them alert (警惕).Computer studies are part of schoolwork now, so its likely that your children may know more than you do. We get left behind when it comes to the latest gad-gets and the interactive areas of websites, like chat rooms and message boards, which are especially strange. The language of chat is strange to many parents, too. Chatters love to use abbreviations (缩写) such as: atb all the best, bbfn bye bye for now, cul8er see you later, gr8 great, Idk I dont know, imbl it must be love, kit keep in touch, paw parents are watching, lol laugh out loud, xlnt excellent!33. The passage is meant for _.A. children B. parents C. teachers D. net bar owners34. Which of the following will the author probably agree with?A. The Internet is no good for children. B. The chat language is strange to adults.C. Children shouldnt chat so much online. D. The Internet is a good place for children.35. In order to keep children safe online, youd better _.A. choose suitable websites and chat rooms for them B. teach them to use correct net wordsC. surf the Internet together with them D. forbid them to use the Internet第二节：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。_36_ One of the best things you can possibly do is to start you own club.
