On the way home from hospital, no one said a word. One day, would I only imagine the scenery beyond the glass rather than see it? That September, I entered middle school. Most nights I had homework that included an armful of books to read. To keep up with other children, I took great trouble to finish the task. With my nose a couple of inches from the page, I was tired easily. Whats worse, after I had read several pages on my own, the words slipped off the page into inky pools. However, then I did not have audio books and electronic devices like kids do now. Instead, Mom volunteered to read out loud. Mom worked part-time, cleaned the house, cooked and spent time with Grandma. In spite of being so busy, she showed up in my room like clockwork. She put on her reading glasses. Mom always thought those glasses made her look old. To me, she looked like a teacher. In my room, Moms voice raced with the ticking of the clock. Being forced to focus on listening, I found a way to keep my marks up and compete with the other kids. When the teacher asked a question, I raised my hand with confidence. Teachers praised me for having a good memory. Reading removed my fear for my failing sight, reading also made me curious about other peoples challenges and how they managed. Though I could not use my eyes to fix on each passage, my mind lit up with every new book. True to what the doctor said, the worst came, but thanks to Mom, my sense of hearing now allows me to “see”. This was the most precious gift from a mother to her child.21. Why did the author and his parents keep silent on their way back home from hospital?A. They all wanted to have a good rest.B. The author didnt do well in the exam.C. What the doctor said made them worried.D. They focused on the scenery along the road.22. How did the author manage to get high marks?A. By being confident.B. By reading as many books as possible.C. By getting help from his classmates.D. By listening carefully.23. We can learn from the text that _.A. the authors sight recovered finallyB. reading made the author more sensitiveC. the authors mother didnt work to look after him D. reading made the author not worry about his sight24. Which of the following could be the best title of the text?A. My eyesight trouble B. An unforgettable experienceC. With ears wide open D. About Mothers loveBMany people who work in London prefer to live outside it, and to go to their offices or schools every day by train, car or bus, even though this means they have to get up early in the morning and reach home late in the evening.One advantage of living outside London is that houses are cheaper. Even a small flat in London without a garden costs quite a lot to rent. With the same money, one can get a little house in the country with a garden of ones own.Then, in the country one can rest from the noise and hurry of the town. Even though one has to get up earlier and spend more time in trains and buses, one can sleep better at night and during weekends, and on summer evenings, one can enjoy the fresh, clean air of the country. If one likes gardens, one can spend ones free time digging, planting, watering, and doing the other jobs which are needed in a garden. Then, when the flowers and vegetables come up, one has the reward of one who has shared the secret of nature.Some people, however, take no interest in country things: for them, happiness lies in the town, with its cinemas and theatres, beautiful shops and busy streets, and dance halls and restaurants. Such people would feel that their life was not worth living if they had to live it outside London. An occasional walk in one of the parks and a two-week-visit to the sea every summer is all the country they want: the rest they are quite prepared to leave to those who are glad to get away from London every night.25. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. People who like country things prefer to live outside the city.B. People who work in London prefer to live in the country.C. Because of certain disadvantages of living outside London, some people who work in London prefer to live inside London.D. Because of certain advantages of living outside London, many people who work in London prefer to live outside London.26. When the flowers and vegetables in the garden come up, those _ have the reward of one who has shared the secret of nature.A. who live in the country.B. who have spent time working in the garden.C. who have a garden of their own. D. who have been digging, planting, and watering.27. People who think happiness lies in the town would feel that _ if they had to live outside London.A. their life was meaninglessB. their life was invaluable. C. they dont deserve a happy life. D. they were not worthy of their happy life28. The underlined word “rest” in the last paragraph refer to “_”.A. the rest questionsB. the rest peopleC. the rest of the country D. the rest of the parks and of the seaC About ten year ago, a young and very successful businessman named Josh was traveling down a Chicago neighborhood street. He was going a bit too fast in his shiny, black, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKE, which was only two months old. He was watching for kids rushing out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no child came out, but a brick sailed out and-WHUMP! -It hit the Jags shiny black side door! SCREECHimmediately Josh stopped the car, jumped out, seized the kid and pushed him up against a parked car. He shouted at the kids, “What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?” Building up a head of steam, he went on. “Thats my new Jag, that brick you threw is going to cost you a lot of money. Why did you throw it？”“Please, mister, pleaseIm sorry！I dont know what else to do!” begged the youngster. “I threw the brick because no one else could stop” Tears were streaming down the boys face as he pointed around the packed car. “Its my brother, mister,” he said. “He rolled of the curb(路沿)and fell out of his wheelchair and I cant lift him up.” Sobbing, the boy asked the businessman. “Would you help me get him back into his wheelchair? Hes hurt and hes too heavy for me. Moved beyond words, the young businessman tried hard to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. Straining, he lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scraps and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be OK！He then watched the younger brother push him down the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to the black, shining, 12 cylinder Jaguar XKEa long and slow walk. Josh never did fix the side door of his Jaguar. He kept the dent(凹痕)to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at him to get his attention. Feel for the bricks of life coming at you.29.

A. the businessman drove his car at a high speed B. he envied the brand-new car very much C. he wanted to ask for some money D. he wanted to turn to the businessman for help30.

When you do, learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but theyre more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do your best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to with problems, such as problems with learning or school life, such as bullying.As a kid in a primary or middle school, youre at a wonderful stage in your life. Youre like a sponge (海绵), able to absorb lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, youre able to think about all this information in new ways. Your teacher knows that, in most cases, is very excited to be the person whos giving you all that material and helping you make it. Remember, teachers are people, too, and they feel great if youre open to what theyre teaching you. Thats why they wanted to be teachers in the first placeto teach!Some kids may be able to learn in any situation, whether they like the teacher or not. But most kids are sensitive to the way they get along with the teacher, and if things arent going well, they wont learn as well and wont enjoy being in class.33In the passage, the author mainly talks about _.A. how to get along well with othersB. how much the students are expected of to get along with teachersC. the importance of a good relation with teachers D. how to make the time in the classroom more pleasant34“Learning bursts right open” in the third paragraph really means _.A. therell be more problems with learningB. you find an opening to learningC. learning becomes easier for you at once D. therell be no problems at all with learning35Which of the comments is FALSE on teachers and their work according to the passage?A. Teachers sometimes have the same feelings as students do.B. Teachers are excited even if you wouldnt like to accept their teaching.C. Though few, there are still some students who can learn even if they dont like the teacher.D. Having a bad relationship with your teachers does more or less harm to your studies.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。 Tips for Cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 Money is a topic Ill save for another day.
