I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).‎ ‎ I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured （使…放心）me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.‎ ‎ Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.‎ ‎ After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.” ‎ I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.‎ ‎21. The author had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because .‎ ‎ A. her w ork delayed her trip to Sydney ‎ ‎ B. she was going home for her holidays ‎ C. the town was far away from Sydney ‎ ‎ D. she missed the only train back home ‎22. Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A. He helped the girl find a ride. ‎ ‎ B. He gave the girl a ride back home.‎ ‎ C. He bought sandwiches for the girl. ‎ ‎ D. He watched the girl for three hours.‎ ‎23. The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .‎ ‎ A. she realized he was Gordon ‎ ‎ B. she had known him for decades ‎ C. she was going to the nearby town ‎ ‎ D. she wanted to repay the favour she once got ‎24. What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?‎ ‎ A. Giving sometimes produces nice results.‎ ‎ B. Those who give rides will be repaid.‎ ‎ C. Good manners bring about happiness.‎ ‎ D. People should offer free rides to others. ‎ B When I talked to some businessmen earlier today, one fellow asked me, “Would you give money to a homeless person, even when you know he’s going to use it to buy alcohol?” I replied, “If all I was giving was money, it’ll be one thing. But for me, whenever I do give money, that’s just the wrapping (包装) . The real gift is hidden inside—it’s love. And I haven’t ever found any reason to limit gifts of love.”    By the end of the night, I decided to get some pizza. In front of me in line was a homeless-looking man. He was counting the few dollars bills in his hand, over and over again, until it was his turn to order. Just then, he told the young woman behind the counter, “I’ll have the full cheese pizza.” “Full?” she asked. “It’s really big,” she added, although what she really meant to say was that it’d be too expensive for him. “Yeah, the full” “$18.65,” she said. The bills he was ‎ counting weren’t going to make it. I wasn’t intending to get the whole pizza for him. But thinking back to my conversation with the business man, I realized that money was really just the wrapping.      I made my move. “Can you charge that pizza with my order” I said to the cashier. “Really?” the homeless-looking man said. “Really?” the young woman behind the counter repeated. “Yes, really.” That confused man and I had a sweet silent moment. To his silent question of why I was doing it, I added, “Just pay it forward for someone else.” And he said, “Well, you know what? I was actually treating those five homeless guys out there.” He was actually paying it forward, in the first place. What an unexpected fortune to get a chance to be a part of a man’s act of kindness. 25.What can we learn about the author from the first paragraph? A. He believes not money but love matters. B.

But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fight against their mothers. The images have created heated debate among Chinese netizens（网民）.‎ Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are always scolded by their parents”， the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to deal with their mothers’ anger such as crying, pretending to be ashamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Each skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. The creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yangtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.‎ According to one of the girls’ mothers, her daughter once received a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daughter’s feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girl’s father, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Monday, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.‎ ‎ “The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on ‎ family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu discovered that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school students hate being urged to do things by their mothers. “Not giving children enough time and hurrying them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ignored by parents. A mother’s blame may lead to negative feelings within her child’s heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”‎ ‎32. What amazed Chinese netizens according to the text?‎ A. The girls’ poor marks. B. The girls’ skills against their mothers.‎ C. The girls’ creativity. D. The girls’ tough attitude to their mothers.‎ ‎33. What do we know about the cartoon book according to the passage?‎ A. It tells us how to control mothers’ feelings.‎ B. It includes a number of vivid pictures and humorous notes.‎ C. It is intended for primary school teachers.‎ D. It is finished by children aged 6 to 12.‎ ‎34. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A. The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show off his daughter’s cleverness.‎ B. Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things.‎ C. Parents are advised to speak highly of their children frequently.‎ D. How to blame children needs parents’ further study of cartoons.‎ ‎35. Where would you probably find this passage?‎ A. An advertisement. B. A textbook. C. A newspaper. D. A novel.‎ 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。‎ How to Make Plans Most people get scared when talking about planning or writing plans. 36.
