Here are three other major charity events from around the world.‎ Race for Life, UK What started off as a race of 680 women in a London park in 1994 to raise money for a cancer charity has now turned into a massive nationwide event, with thousands of women up and down the UK taking part every year.‎ Known for dressing head to toe in pink, participants raise money for breast cancer research by being sponsored to take part in marathons, which are organized all year round. Since it began, more than 8 million women have taken part, raising over £547 million for Cancer Research UK.‎ ‎40-Hour Famine（饥饿）, Australia Normally taking place in mid-August, this program encourages young Australians to give something up for 40 hours in order to raise awareness of less fortunate youths around the world.‎ Participants raise money, which is donated to good causes worldwide, by giving something up for the weekend, including the use of technology（TVs, computers, smartphones and so on）, or even food. Since it began in 1975, World Vision Australia, the event’s organizer, has raised over A$200 million.‎ AIDS / LifeCycle, US ‎ Each year, thousands of people ride the 545-mile route from San Francisco to Los Angeles in order to raise money and awareness for HIV/AIDS-related causes. Cyclists make the trip over seven days, stopping each night at designated camps to shower, eat and relax. The mainly male riders are known for their colorful riding sportswear, with some dressing as nuns（修女）, cowboys or even in bikinis. The event has raised around $100 million since it began in 2001.‎ ‎21．In what way is “Race for life” special?‎ ‎ A. The participants are all women. B. It’s a yearly marathon held in London.‎ ‎ C. All the athletes are cancer patients. D. It attracts about 8 million people every year.‎ ‎22．What do the cyclists mainly do in the AIDS / LifeCycle trip?‎ A. Advertise for a brand sports suit. B. Research into the causes of AIDS.‎ ‎ C. Talk with local cowboys in camps.D. Cycle in the daytime and rest at night.‎ ‎23．What do the three events have in common?‎ A. All the participants give something away to the poor.‎ B. They are all held to raise money for people in need.‎ C. All the participants donate what they have to charity.‎ D. They have all drawn people’s attention to cancer and AIDS.‎ B One cold January evening in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, America, I went with my father on an oil burner(燃油炉) service call. My father was in his forties at that time and I was about twelve years old. He was always working hard trying to support us seven kids. I enjoyed hanging out with him whenever I could — he taught me so much.‎ ‎ We arrived at the call and after walking over snow and ice, we knocked on the customer’s door. A senior citizen opened the door and let us into her very cold home. She was wearing an old, ‎ worn-out brown coat that went down to her knees. On her head, covering her gray hair, was an old and worn hat. The home wasn’t furnished very well and was quite dark, except for a single light bulb (电灯泡) over the dining room table. Below the light was an older man counting change from several old coffee cans. He looked up at us as we passed by to get to the kitchen where my dad would fix the oil burner. He didn’t say anything. He just looked up at us. He couldn’t speak English, nor could his wife. She only pointed to the kitchen and smiled at us.‎ ‎ After a short while, my father had the heater up and running, and it began to heat their cold home. The lady asked my dad in poor English how much she owed him for fixing the heater. My dad looked around the house and said that he had to go out to the truck and write the bill.‎ ‎ Once in the truck he marked the bill “no answer at home, no charge”, so they didn’t need to pay for his work. He looked over at me and said, “He was counting his change to pay me. They need their money more than I do.”‎ ‎ As usual, my father taught me something important that time, which was to be kind to the poor.‎ ‎24. According to Paragraph 1, we know that the writer’s father .‎ A. often taught the writer how to work B. worked several jobs at the same time C. had a very big family to support D. brought up his children alone ‎25. The description in Paragraph 2 shows that the old couple .‎ ‎ A. had no job B. led a very poor life ‎ C. didn’t know how to save money D. were not very friendly to strangers ‎26. What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A. The old couple had no children in America. B. The old man didn’t plan to pay money.‎ ‎ C. The old woman felt very embarrassed all the time. D. The old couple were not native Americans.‎ ‎27. The writer’s father didn’t charge for his work because .‎ ‎ A. he didn’t need that money B. he felt pity for the old couple ‎ C. he was not satisfied with his work D. he wanted to set a good example to others C If you have a chance to go to Finland, you will probably be surprised to find how “foolish” the Finnish people are.‎ Take the taxi drivers for example. Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.‎ The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.‎ The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say ‎ how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly.‎ With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always come back to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.‎ In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?‎ ‎28．While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.‎ A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driver B. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi ride C. a passenger can never be refused by the taxi driver wherever he wants to go D. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying ‎29．We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.‎ A. are mostly poorly managed B. provide meals for any diners C. provide free wine and charge for food D. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels ‎30. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.‎ B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.‎ C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.‎ D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.‎ ‎31. The word “those” in the last but one paragraph probably refers to _____.‎ A. people who are dishonest B. people who often have meals in big hotels C. people who often take taxis D. people who are worthy of trust ‎ D Often a nickname is a shortened form of a person's name, and it can also be a descriptive name for a place or a thing. Many American cities have nicknames. These can help build up an identity, spread pride among citizens and build their unity. Nicknames can also be funny. Los Angeles, California is the second largest city in population, after New York City. Los Angeles has several nicknames. One is simply the city's initials, L.A. It is also called the City of Angels because Los Angeles means "the angels" in Spanish. Los Angeles often has warm, sunny weather. So another nickname is City of Flowers and Sunshine. New York is called The Big Apple. So Los Angeles is sometimes ‎ called The Big Orange because of the fruit that grows in that city's warm climate. The American movie and television industries are based in Los Angeles. So it is not surprising that it is called The Entertainment Capital of the World. Many films are made in the area of Los Angeles called Hollywood. Millions of people visit the area. No trip to Los Angeles is perfect without seeing the word "Hollywood" spelled out in huge letters on a hillside. Many movie stars live in Los Angeles. The city is sometimes called Tinseltown. This nickname comes from the shiny, bright and often unreal nature of Hollywood and the movie industry. Another nickname for Los Angeles is La-La Land, using the first letters of Los and Angeles. This means a place that is fun and not serious, and maybe even out of touch with reality. A good place for watching unusual-looking people is Venice, an area on the west side of Los Angeles. A system of waterways designed after the Italian city of Venice has been built there. Many people love Los Angeles for its warm sunny weather, beautiful mountains and beaches, and movie stars. That includes Randy Newman, who sings about his hometown.‎ ‎ On the whole, Los Angeles is growing attractive just for its rich nicknames.‎ ‎32. Choose the one that isn’t the function of a nickname of a place.‎ A. Uniting surrounding cities B. Entertainment   C. Bringing pride to the locals D. Establishing characteristics ‎33. Which of the following can best replace the underlined sentence?‎ A. Seeing the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside means you've been really to Los Angeles.‎ B. Not seeing the word "Hollywood" on a hillside means you haven't been to Los Angeles. C. If you visit Los Angeles you should first pay a visit to "Hollywood" s on a hillside. D. Your trip to Los Angeles is not complete if you miss the big letters "Hollywood" on a hillside ‎34. What’s the number of the nicknames given to Los Angeles?‎ A. 5 B. 4 C. 7       D. 6‎ ‎35. According to the passage, the true statement is ________.‎ A. Los Angeles was built after the Italian city of Venice  B. Hollywood alone adds fame to Los Angeles   C. Los Angeles is most famous for its nicknames   D. All the nicknames increase the charm of Los Angeles 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。‎ Although there are many different types of generous people, there are some common characteristics that the most generous people share. Whether they give ‎ their time or their money, these qualities are largely shared by people most devoted to giving back to their communities and families.‎ Unselfishness First and foremost, generous people are unselfish. 36 Personal gain may occur, but it is not an inspiring factor for the most generous people.‎ Optimism Generous people are optimistic. They have a certain idea of the way the world should be, and struggle to achieve that end. 37 As optimists, they see the world in a different light. They truly believe that the world, although not perfect, can be made into a much better place.‎ Trust Trust is a major quality among the most generous people. They trust completely that their cause is a worthy one. 38 For those who give, this means that the others associated with the cause will be using their time and resources appropriately.‎ Energy When you think of people being generous, energy is one of the first things that come to mind. These people devote their energy to the good that they want to do. 39 When the most generous people spend their time working on a goal, they are energized to do even more good.‎ ‎ 40 If you are concerned with increasing your own level of generosity, these factors will get you started in the right direction.‎ A. They also gain energy from their cause.‎ B. Reliable people are very popular in the community.‎ C. They give without hopes of gaining for their good deeds.‎ D.
