One day, it was raining heavily and getting dark. I was 9 for an appointment

(约会) in a nearby city that I knew only by GPS, and now my phone didn’t work. The usual

exits (公路出口) were closed and I couldn’t 10 because it was raining so much and

there were few cars on the road. So I didn’t know how to get to the place I was going or how

to let my friends know that I couldn’t 11 on time.

I stopped at a McDonald’s in a poor part of a town and walked up to a woman and her

12 . “I’m sorry,” I said, “but do you mind if I search a number on your phone and make a

call to my friends? I need to let them know I’m lost.” Without any thinking, she handed me

her phone and then told me I was 13 . I felt confused (困惑的) about what she said.

Then she continued that she was about to turn her phone off because she didn’t have enough

money to pay her bill.

The young girl and the mother sat closely and talked together as I made the call. I tried

to get in touch with my friends. They thankfully knew where I was and told me how to get

there.

As I was ready to 14 , I reached into my wallet. I didn’t usually have cash (现金),

but that day I found a $20 bill. Thankfully, I put it into the mother’s hand and then turned to

leave 15 . Suddenly, I heard the mother crying as I walked through the door. Her

daughter called after me and said, “You have no idea how much you just 16 us.”

I still think back to that day. Even now, they had no idea how much they helped me, yet I

was the one being thanked. It’s funny how that works.

四、阅读单选

When I was in Grade 8, I had an argument with my classmate, Tony. I have forgotten

what the argument was about, but I have never forgotten the lesson I learned that day.

I believed that I was right and he was wrong, and Tony believed that I was wrong and he

was right. Our teacher, a kind and clever lady, decided to teach us a lesson. She brought us to

the front of the class and placed him on one side of her desk and me on the other. In the

middle of her desk was a large and round object. I could clearly see that it was black. The

teacher asked us what color the object was. “White,” Tony answered. I couldn’t believe he

said the object was white! “Clearly, it was black!” Another argument started between Tony

and me, this time about the color of the object.

The teacher told me to go and stand where Tony was standing and told him to go and

stand where I was standing. We changed places, and now she asked me what color the object

was. I had to answer, “White.” It was an object with two differently colored sides—from his

side it was white, while from my side it was black. “Boys, now, what do you say?” The

teacher smiled at us. Tony has been my best friend ever since.

My teacher taught me a very important lesson that day：When you disagree with others,

you’d better be in their shoes. That will help you look at the situation through their eyes, and

truly understand their ideas and ways of thinking.

20．What did the teacher do at first?

C．She asked the boys a question.

B．She brought the boys to her desk.

D．She walked out of the classroom.

21．The writer gave two different answers because ________.

A．he was unfriendly to Tony

B．he turned around the object

C．he changed his place with Tony

D．he wanted to have another argument

22．What can we learn from the passage?

A．Try not to argue with others.

C．Many hands make light work.

Foods that are well known to you may not be familiar to people from different

（熟悉的）places around the world. Tourists and travelers often get to try some unfamiliar food. That is

part of traveling. Here are four people’s food experiences in foreign（外国的） countries.

David is a Thai student in France. “I never had cheese or even milk before I came to

France. Cows are seldom seen in my part of Thailand. So I didn’t have milk or milk products.

I drank some milk when I first arrived in France. I hated it! I tried cheese, too, but I didn’t

like it. I love ice cream, though that’s made from milk.”

Birgit is from Sweden. She traveled to Australia on vacation. “I was in a restaurant that

was special in fish. I heard some other people order flake

（薄鱼片）, so I ordered some, too.

It was delicious! Later, I learned that flake is an Australian name for shark

（鲨鱼）. Now,

whenever I see a new food, I try it on purpose. You know why? I remember how much I

enjoyed flake.”

Chandra is a doctor in Texas. She is from India. “I’m afraid to try new foods because

maybe there is beef in them. I’m a Hindu（印度教教徒） and my religion（信仰） stops me

from eating meat from the cow. That’s why I can’t eat hamburgers or noodles with

meatballs.”

Nathan is from the United States. He taught for a year in China. “My friend gave me

some 100-year-old eggs to eat. I didn’t like their appearances at all. The eggs were green

inside, but my friends said the color was OK. Chinese people put something on fresh eggs.

Then they put them in the earth for three months. So the eggs weren’t really very old. Even so,

I didn’t want to touch them.”

23．Chandra is afraid to try new foods because ________.

A．she can’t stand the taste

B．she can’t eat food with beef

试卷第4页，共9页

B．Great minds think the same.

D．Look at things in another way.

C．she doesn’t like foreign food

D．she doesn’t like their appearances

24．What can we learn from the passage? ________

A．Flake and shark are the same fish.

B．Birgit doesn’t like trying new food.

C．David often drinks milk in Thailand.

D．The eggs are in the earth for 100 years.

25．Why does the writer write the passage? ________

A．To show us how to try foreign food.

B．To encourage us to eat more foreign food.

C．To introduce why people enjoy foreign food.

D．To tell us some experiences of eating foreign food.

They say once you learn how to ride a bike, you never forget. Most of us learnt when we

were kids, and many still ride fast around the streets. In recent times, biking has seen a rise in

popularity（人气上升）, so the question is: what makes it so popular to people to ride their

bikes once again?

First, let’s look at the good for health. Biking can improve your health and burn extra

body fat. Exercising your legs helps to increase your strength. And

（消耗多余脂肪）（增加）biking’s good isn’t just physical, but mental as well. A long ride in the countryside

（精神的）could help you to clear your mind, or lower your worry.

There are also some good sides for your wallet’s health. Biking can be a great way to go

to work or go around town. By biking, you save money instead of driving a car or taking a

bus. If you drive to work, sometimes finding somewhere to park can be a very difficult thing.

However, finding somewhere to put your bike can be much simpler. Then, on the bus, there

are changes at stations and other passengers speaking loudly on their phones to deal with.

People who bike face neither of these problems. And if you’re worried about safety, there are

special bike ways in many big cities. Wearing high-visibility clothing is another

（高能见度）way to improve your safety when biking on the roads.

Finally, biking can also be good for the environment. It can help you to reduce your

carbon footprint（减少碳足迹）. Not giving gases out into the air is better for the earth and

your own environment.

So, whether people want to bike for their health, going around town, their wallets, the

environment, or all of them, the popularity of biking is on the rise.

26．The words “wallet’s health” in Paragraph 3 probably mean “ ________ ”.

A．saving money

C．keeping safe

27．The writer agrees that ________.

A．biking brings more problems

C．biking can make our mind clear

28．What is the passage mainly about?

A．How biking improves your health.

B．Why biking is good for the environment.

C．How people keep safe while riding bikes.

D．Why the popularity of biking is on the rise.

B．biking in big cities is not safe

D．biking can increase our body fat

B．wasting money

D．keeping healthy

五、阅读回答问题

阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。

There are three children in my family. My mother often makes us do housework.

However, my grandmother doesn’t agree with her. She thinks my mother is too harsh (严厉的). In her opinion, parents shouldn’t be too strict with children. It is parents’ job to do

housework.

My mother thinks our family is made up of five family members. No one in the family is

more important than others, so each member should help with chores. But my mother doesn’t

ask us to do the same chores, because our ages are different.

At the end of the day, after we finish playing with our toys, my mother asks us to put the

toys away. If we don’t, we will have to say goodbye to our toys. She expects us to set the

table at night and help fold (折叠) our own clothes. She doesn’t think she is asking too much.

My mother knows we are tired after a long day’s study at school, but that’s life—harsh

but real. She doesn’t pay us for doing some chores. She thinks we live in the house, so we

试卷第6页，共9页

should help out with some things in the house. No one is going to pay us for cleaning up our

rooms later in life and she is not about to start doing it now.

Some parents protect their children too much from anything unpleasant and make their

children’s lives too comfortable and safe, but my mother is not interested in that way. She

hopes we are able to look after ourselves and can be independent (独立的) early.

29．What does her grandmother think of her mother?

30．Why doesn’t her mother ask the children to do the same chores?

31．What does her mother ask the children to do after they finish playing with toys?

32．What do you think of children doing housework? Why? (Write at least two reasons.)
