He began his lesson by holding up a ￥100 bill. Then he said to the three hundred students, “Who would like this ￥100 bill?” The students began to put up their hands at once.‎ Then he said, “I am going to give this ￥100 to one of you, but first, let me do this.” He then made the bill into a ball. Then he said, “Who wants it now?” The hands went back into the air.‎ ‎“Well,” he said, “What if I do this?” and he dropped it on the floor and stepped on it. He picked up the dirty, crumpled bill and said, “Who still wants it?” Hands went back into the air.‎ ‎“My friends,” he said, “you have learned a valuable lesson today. No matter what I did to the money, you still wanted it because it did not go down in value. It was still worth ￥ l00!”‎ Many times in our lives, we are dropped, crumpled, and stepped on by the chances we take and the things that happen to us. We feel as if we are worth nothing. But remember, no matter what has happened to you, you will never lose your value: you are always valuable to those people who love you. Your value doesn’t come from what you do or whom you know, but WHO YOU ARE.‎ You are special and valuable. Don’t ever forget it!‎ ‎1. Even though it was dirty， the money _______.‎ A. still went up in value    B. was worth nothing   ‎ C. didn‘t go down in value   D. was still ours ‎2. Your value doesn’t come from what you do but _______.‎ A. who you know   B. who made you    C. who you remember  D. who you are ‎3. The underlined sentence “Hands went back into the air” means “_______”.‎ A. the students put up their hands again   ‎ B. the students put down their hands C. the students put their hands behind their backs again D. the students put their hands in front of them ‎4. Why did the famous teacher use a ￥100 bill at his lesson?‎ A. Because he wanted to make the bill into a ball.‎ B. Because he used to drop a bill on the floor and stepped on it.‎ C. Because he was going to give the bill to one of his students.‎ D. Because he wanted to make the students know what value was.‎ ‎ B ‎ Never Talk to Strangers?‎ ‎“Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a precaution against abduction(诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but hid from them by design, afraid someone might “steal” him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise ‎ it is to instill(灌输) a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline(救生索) to safety.‎ To have a child go missing is a parent’s worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is least possible when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more common — but a lost children may have to call upon a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behavior; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.‎ For young children, nothing replaces close supervision(监管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and attitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-proper positive messages about safety, keeping in mind how youngsters may understand their world.‎ ‎5. Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?‎ A. He practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule.‎ B. He hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction.‎ C. He eventually showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended.‎ D. He stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.‎ ‎6. Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?‎ A. Being abducted by a parent. B. Wandering off.‎ C. Being abducted by strangers. D. Running away.‎ ‎7. The “never talk to strangers” rule is confusing to children because __________.‎ A. a friendly and attractive person may be dangerous B. adults do not act upon the rule and strangers are hard to tell C. the rule does not protect children in the situation of abducting D. a lost child may have difficulty in communicating with a stranger ‎8. Which would the author agree with about the “never talk to strangers” rule?‎ A. It is not well recognized by parents. ‎ B. It is not effective in keeping kids safe.‎ C. It is easy enough for children to follow. ‎ D. It is practical as a safety tip in daily life.‎ ‎ C ‎ Traveling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you’re a student and don’t have enough money for a trip? Don’t worry. Here are some useful suggestions.‎ ‎●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for traveling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you’ll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.‎ ‎●Plan ahead: Don’t wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.‎ ‎●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.‎ ‎●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.‎ ‎●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By traveling with others you can share costs and experiences.‎ ‎●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.‎ ‎●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser-known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.‎ ‎●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.‎ ‎●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains-lowest fare. com and www. Economic travel. com.‎ ‎ By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.‎ ‎9．This passage is about _______.‎ ‎  A．how to plan your travel       B．how to travel with enough money ‎  C．how to make your travel interesting   D．how to get life experiences ‎10．Before your trip, the first thing you should do is _______.‎ ‎  A．to make a plan of the route      B．to get information in the Internet ‎  C．to save money by spending less     D．to buy tickets in advance ‎11．The writer advises you _______.‎ ‎  A．to share costs with any other people     B．not to go to well-known places ‎  C．not to visit dangerous places        D．to buy anything you want to buy ‎12．During your trip, _______.‎ ‎  A．you need more shoes than clothes ‎  B．you shouldn’t look for work all the way ‎  C．you can gain valuable life experiences  ‎ ‎ D．you should forget to do your homework ‎ D Outside her cottage, old Mrs. Taylor was hanging out laundry on a wire line, unaware that some children were hiding in a nearby tree watching her every move. They were determined to find out if she really was a witch（女巫）.‎ They watched nervously as she took a broomstick（长柄扫帚） to sweep the dirt from her stone steps. But much to their disappointment, she didn’t get on the broomstick and fly off. The old lady only looked up when her hen began to make sounds loudly — signaling that she had a black cat she had rescued from a fox trap. With only three legs, it was hard for Michael to keep up with his mistress（女主人）. The cat was proof for the children that only a witch would own a black cat with three legs! Crawling further along the branches, they could clearly see the haystack.（干草堆）‎ Mrs. Taylor was standing on a wooden box with the new-laid egg in one hand. Placing the egg in her pocket, she readied herself to climb down. Then, without warning, the box broke under her and she crashed to the ground. The children were in horror.‎ ‎“Should we go and help her?” asked Mia.‎ ‎“What if it’s a trick?” replied Patrick. “She probably knows we’re here. Witches know things like that!”‎ After thinking for a while, Julia said “Anyway, we should go and check whether she is all right.”‎ Approaching prudently, they could see a wound on the old lady’s forehead. She had knocked her head on a stone and was unconscious.‎ ‎“Go and get Dad,” Mia yelled to her brothers. “Tell him about the accident.”‎ The boys didn’t need another excuse to leave. They ran as fast as they could for help ,hoping that Mrs. Taylor would not regain consciousness and turn the girls into frogs.‎ Later, in the hospital, the old lady smiled her thanks. “I was so lucky that you lovely children happened to be passing when 1 fell. I must have yelled quite loudly.”‎ The children exchanged guilty glances, but were very pleased that she was not a witch after all!‎ ‎13. Mrs. Taylor stopped sweeping when_______.‎ A. her doorstep became very clean B. she heard the hen making sounds loudly C. she noticed the children in the tree D. her cat Michael managed to get her attention ‎ ‎14. Why was Patrick not willing to help Mrs. Taylor when she fell?‎ A. He thought that she could be cheating them. ‎ B. He was afraid of the three-legged black cat. ‎ C. He did not think that she was hurt in the fall. ‎ D. He knew he and the others shouldn’t have been in her tree. ‎ ‎15. Which of the definitions is closest in meaning to the underlined word “prudently” ?‎ A. Slowly. B. Hurriedly. C. Carefully. D. Quietly.‎ 第一部分 第二节（共5小题；每小题3分，满分15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。该项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. 16 ‎ If you have a headache, toothache, backache, or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you go to the doctor.‎ The doctor will examine your throat, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. 17 The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.‎ ‎ 18 ‎ An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. 19 In ‎ other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.‎ A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. 20 He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.‎ ‎“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”‎ A. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.‎ B. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.‎ C. ‎ After that he will advise some treatment or some medicine.‎ D. All these will cost a lot of money.‎ E. He looked cheerful and happy.‎ F. He was more worried about his illness.‎ G.
