As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” ‎ He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas.‎ As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didn’t know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.). As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, I’m going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.‎ ‎1.

In addition to various languages, Asia has developed its cultural networks, patterns of government, technology and styles of artistic representation.‎ The diverse cultural life of Africa has been expressed through everyday cooking objects and unique works of art since ancient times. The Museum’s collection of over 200,000 African items includes archaeological and contemporary material from across the continent.‎ The Iron Age was a time of big change for the people of Britain and Europe. Iron replaced bronze as the material used to make tools and weapons, while religion art, daily life, economics and politics changed greatly.‎ Admission and opening times The Museum is free and open daily 10:00-17:30 except Friday, and is open until 20:30 on ‎ Fridays, except Good Friday.

For hundreds of years, the Irish people fought against the English. Finally, in 1921, the British government was forced to give independence to the south of Ireland. The result is that today there are two “Irelands”. Northern Ireland, in the north, is part of the United Kingdom. The Republic of Ireland, in the south, is an independent country.‎ In the 1840s the main crop, potatoes, was affected by disease and about 750，000 people died of hunger. This, and a shortage(短缺) of work, forced many people to leave Ireland and live in the USA, the UK, Australia and Canada. As a result of these problems, the population fell from 8.2 million in 1841 to 6.6 million in 1851.‎ For many years, the majority of Irish people earned their living as farmers. Today, many people still work on the land but more and more people are moving to the cities to work in factories and offices. Life in the cities is very different from life in the countryside, where things move at a quieter and slower pace.‎ The Irish are famous for being warm－hearted and friendly. Oscar Wilde, a famous Irish writer, once said that the Irish were “the greatest talkers since the Greeks”. Since independence, Ireland has revived(复兴) its own culture of music, language, literature and singing. Different areas have different styles of old Irish songs which are sung without instruments. Other kinds of Irish music use many different instruments such as the violin, whistles, etc.‎ ‎8. What does the author tell us in Paragraph 1?‎ A. How the Irish fought against the English.‎ B.

The last paragraph is mainly about________．‎ A. the Irish culture ‎ B. the Irish character ‎ C. Irish musical instruments ‎ D. a famous Irish writer ‎11. What can be the best title for the text?‎ A. Life in Ireland ‎ B. Ireland, Past and Present ‎ C. A Very Difficult History ‎ D. The Independence of Ireland ‎ D According to the Global Times, it is reported that two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have gone viral in China. The first,filmed by an Anhui TV station,shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The responses are mixed.“Are you drunk?” asked one parent.In another similar video,shot by a Shanxi TV station,a father responded even less patiently — “I am going to a meeting,so cut the crap.”‎ ‎ Why don’t Chinese families use those words?Theories revolve around the nature of Confucian teaching.“The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions,” Xia Xueluan,a sociologist from Peking University,told the Global Times.“They are used to educating children with negative language.”‎ This isn’t the first time that China has done some soul-searching about familial love—last year China Daily asked a cross-section of people if they said “I love you” to their parents,spouses,and children.“I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family,and I don’t think I will in the future,” one 56-year-old told the paper.“Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.”‎ Still,that doesn’t mean that love can’t be expressed.In a separate article,China Daily spoke to ‎ Zhao Mengmeng,a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face (“I find it a bit odd”).Sometimes actions speak louder than words.Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every one of her birthdays in June 2012.The pictures went viral online,being forwarded hundreds of thousands of times on Weibo.‎ ‎“I didn’t sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention.“I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.”‎ ‎12.What can we infer from the text?‎ A.It is not direct for Chinese families to say “I love you”.‎ B.Chinese parents are too proud to express “I love you”.‎ C.Chinese parents are good at expressing positive emotions.‎ D.Young parents in China are willing to express “I love you”.‎ ‎13.Why don’t Chinese parents express “I love you” to their children?‎ A.Because they can’t express it.‎ B.Because they think it unnecessary.‎ C.Because they are not in the habit of expressing so.‎ D.Because they think it should be done only among young couples.‎ ‎14.Zhao Mengmeng expressed “I love you” to her father by 　　　. ‎ A.giving him an album containing their photos B.kissing her father’s face and telling him by words C.speaking it out bravely in a TV program D.writing out the three words in a letter ‎15.What’s the author’s attitude towards the statements about “I love you”?‎ A.Opposed. B.Critical. ‎ C.Objective. D.Indifferent.‎ 第二节 ‎ 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。 （每小题5分，共15分）‎ E You walk into the classroom, look at that white piece of paper in front of you and are told you’ve got an hour and a half to do it.
