I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases（行李箱）. Earlier that evening, I'd received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. "Come as soon as you can." cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at onceBut my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother's crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happenedSomeone asked to speak to me. "If there's anything I can do, let me know." But I didn't know what to ask for.Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby."I've come to clean your shoes," he said.I asked him to repeat."Donna had to stay with the baby," he said, "but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral （葬礼）. Give me all your shoes."I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn't help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend who's lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, "If there's anything I can do "Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man's need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks, "How did you know I needed that one?" I reply, "Because a man once cleaned my shoes."1The writer didn't know what to put into the suitcases because_.Ashe couldn't do it on her own Bshe was too sad to do anythingCshe wanted to take everything to Seattle Dshe was not good at housework2Here's a time line of what happened in the storyThe writer's brother was killed in a car crash_The writer washed the clothesThey left for the airportWhich of the events should go in the empty box above?AEmerson came to clean the shoesBThe couple bathed the childrenCThey cleared the supper dishes DThe writer found the shoes cleaned3If one of her friends has lost a loved one，what will the writer probably NOT do?ACall her friend to ask what she can doBLook after her friend's young childrenCTake her friend's dog to the boarding kennelDOffer her friend house-sitting during the funeral4Which sentences best expresses the theme of this story? DAOne person's loss is another's gainBAn act of kindness is often rewardedCA near neighbour is better than a brother far offDDo something specific to help those in need(C)Parents of very young children know this：You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie-the evidence of candy written on his or her faceHowever，you get a wide-eyed denial："I didn't do it!"Learning to tell the truth，even at the risk of punishment，is an important part of moral （道德） development，and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get thereEarly 2017 Professor Craig ESmith published a studyHe and his workmates chose 48children between four and nine years of ageThey told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong，such as taking a classmate's toy or candy，and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing （承认） itIn each case，they asked the children，How would the child feel？How would the mother feel？The children's answers were generally divided according to age，which is in agreement with the stolen candy，lying and getting unpunishedThey imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessedHowever，the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely （可能的） to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive （积极的） feelings towards a confessorSmith says，"Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child's confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lieReward the honesty even if you feel you must punish the wrong action"He adds，what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses1What does the underlined word"denial"in Paragraph 1mean?A委屈 B责备 C否认 D拒绝2Paragraph 2 mainly tell us_.Akids can't tell "right" from "wrong" Bit takes time for kids to learn to tell the truthCit's wrong to punish kids for telling the truth Dall the kids are willing to confess to a bad act3What did Smith and his workmates find in their study?AOlder kids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad actBYounger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad actCThe four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crimeDThe seven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions4According to Professor Smith，what can parents learn from these studies?AParents should at once punish the children who liedBParents should tell children the wrongness of lyingCParents should never get angry after their children's confessionsDParents should show positive feeling about their children's confessions （D）In many organizations，perhaps the best way to complete certain new projects is to gather a group of people into a team.Having a team of people attack a project offers several advantages. First of all，a group of people have more knowledge，more experience，and more skills in different fields than any single individual（个体）does. A group can work more quickly whenever the task is assigned. And a group can come up with highly creative solutions（解决办法）to problems because of the numbers of people who take part and greater resources they have.Also，a group is more likely to make risky decisions which a single individual might not make. This is because the group spreads responsibility（责任）to all the members. And thus，if the decision turns out to be wrong，no single individual can be held accountable（负有责任的）.Then，taking part in a group can be very rewarding for members of the team. Team members who have a voice in making a decision will no doubt feel better about doing the work than they might do what is imposed（把强加于）on them by others.Last but not least，the team member has a much better change to“shine”. This is because they get more chances to have his or her contributions and ideas not only recognized（认可），but recognized as highly important. This kind of high-recognition is because a teams achievement or influence is much higher than the individuals. A team can finish and achieve what the individual cant do. And a team can reach a height which the individual cant reach.1. How many advantages of a team are mentioned in the passage?A. Two B. Three C. Four D. Five2. The first paragraph mainly tells us that .A. many organizations gather people into teams B. it is good to form a team to complete tasksC. new projects are often sent to large groups D. people would like to communicate in groups3. Which of the following is true according to paragraphs 2&3?A. A group of people are sure to be highly creative.B. A team always finish more tasks than individuals.C. Its difficult for a team to make creative decisions.D. The members of a group can share responsibility.4. A team is worth taking part in because .A. individuals do not have rights to make decisions B. team members have better changes to be excellentC. team members are easily respected by other peopleD. individuals can not achieve goals or reach a height四、 词汇（20分）A） 根据语境及所给汉语提示，写出所缺单词。1.
