An hour later I decided to let my dog out. That was when I got the shock! My sidewalk was cleaned and my path too. I had no idea who did this good deed. I looked over to my neighbor's driveway where the husband stood, open-mouthed and surprised. His sidewalk was also cleared. I asked him who did it. He just shook his head and let me know that he had no idea. A week later we had another snowfall and I promised to pay attention this time just in case we had another visit from our snow angel. It was a good plan, but I got busy inside and forgot to keep a look out. Sure enough when I remembered to look out the snow had once again been cleared away. Now I became determined to find my guardian(保护人) of the snow. Some three weeks went by when the snow started to fall again. I went to get a book and sat at the window just as the snow tapered off and my reading was interrupted by the sound of a shovel(铲子). I got to my feet to look out and was so choked up that I just stood there. My snow angel was an eight-year-old boy who lived a few houses away from me. A month after the snows, I called him over and asked him if he knew of anybody who shoveled for me. He said, " I guess it was someone who likes you." So without taking credit for his good deed, he turned and left,25. When the author saw her sidewalk was cleaned, she felt _. A. excited B. surprised C. discouraged D. satisfied26.

It snowed every week where the author lived. B. The author intended to praise the boy. C. The author didn't like to clean snow. D. No one knew who helped clean the snow at last.CPlan on traveling around the USA?

Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in the city than in the countryside. They hope that their lives will improve when they move to the city. But in the big cities of Europe like London or Paris, people are moving out of the city. These rich families want to live a quieter life. They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, and they are tired of the crowded streets, crowded trains and buses. They don't want to live in the cities any more. They want a house with a garden in the countryside, and breathe the fresh air there. So they move out of the cities. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the towns near the cities, other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green fields. There, they start new lives and try to make new friends. Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years, many people who have done this feel that it is a big mistake. They don't make so much money and there isn't much work to do. People in the countryside are very different and aren't always very friendly. As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city. "It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights," they say.32. Which is NOT the reason for people moving to the cities in China?AThe countryside is much poorer than me city.BPeople in the countryside have nothing to eat.CPeople in the countryside don't have much work to do there.DServices in cities are usually much better than those in the countryside.33. Why do some rich families in Europe move to the countryside?ABecause they will find good jobs. BBecause they are tired of living in the city.CBecause they can make more money there.DBecause they like feeding sheep and cows in the green fields.34.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph shows _Athey are happy to move back to the city Bthey miss their friends in the countrysideCthey still want to move to the countryside Dthey are tired of the noise and the crowded streets in the city35. The best title of this passage may be “_”A. A happy life! BLiving in the city C. Moving out or moving back ? DLiving in the countryside!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。（注意：此题36-40的答案要涂到卡上71-75）Tips for taking care of friendshipsSome people are meant to come and go from your lives quickly.
