He had gained a lot of experience while travelling around the world, so he became very depressed after his accident. He was afraid that he would spend the rest of his life suffering and no longer be able to spend his life in a meaningful way. Then, he realized that he still had partial function of his right hand and could still write even though it was very difficult. An idea occurred to him,“Why not 　▲　? ” ‎ He wrote to the prison ministry about sending letters to the prisoners.The prison minister replied, “Writing to the prisoners is acceptable, but your letters will not be answered.”‎ Filled with excitement, the man knew he could write his letters. He began sending one-way messages of God’s love, hope, strength, and encouragement.He wrote twice a week, testing his strength and ability to the limit. He poured his heart and soul into his words and shared his experience, sense of humor, optimism, and faith.‎ It was difficult to write those letters, especially without hope of a reply.One day he received a letter from the prison ministry.It was a short note from the officer who monitored and checked the prison mail.‎ The letter said, “Please write on the best paper you can afford.Your letters are passed from cell to cell until they fall to pieces!”‎ No matter what circumstances(环境) life may present, we all have unique experiences, abilities,‎ 7‎ ‎ and God-given talents.We can discover ways to reach others who desperately(极度地) need messages of encouragement and strength.‎ ‎16.Which can be the best for “　▲　” in Paragraph 2? ‎ A.receive the school education B.write to other people who need encouragement C.meet the people who are depressed D.help other people who lost arms and legs ‎17.From the officer’s short note we are told that 　　　　. ‎ A.the man would be offered free paper to write letters on B.some of the prisoners were not satisfied with his letters C.the prisoners eagerly wanted to write back to the man D.his letters were very popular among the prisoners ‎18.Which is the right order of the following events?‎ ‎①He receives a letter from the prison ministry.‎ ‎②He lost his legs and left arm in an accident.‎ ‎③He used his best paper to write letters.‎ A.③②① B.①③②‎ C.②①③ D.②③①‎ ‎19.What does the word “cell” mean?‎ A.隔间 B.细胞 C.浴室 D.邮箱 ‎20.What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A.Stories about a Humorous Person B.Popularity of Special Letters 7‎ C.Special Letters of Encouragement D.Relationship between Writers and Prisoners Ⅲ.阅读理解填词。‎ With the development of society, our language is also changing. Have you ever found that our Chinese words such as tofu, zongzi and erhu are in English? More and more Chinese words are making a big 21.d　　　　 to the English language. Maybe the reason is that there are too many Chinese people studying and 22.s　　　　 English. ‎ A study says a lot of Chinese words are 23.c　　　　 in the English dictionary every year. For example, the Chinese word chengguan (a city patrol officer)—you can find it in Baidu Dictionary. ‎ The Oxford English Dictionary now has about 1,000 words of Chinese origin(起源), such as taikonaut (an astronaut from China).‎ These years, The Wall Street Journal(《华尔街日报》) used the word dama (Chinese Pinyin for “big mother”) to describe those middle-aged Chinese 24.w　　　　 leading the world’s gold market. ‎ Han Baocheng is a famous language 25.t　　　　 at Beijing Foreign Studies University. He said, “26.U　　　　 Chinglish doesn’t mean Chinese words are trying to take the place 27.o　　　　 English words. That’s only 28.b　　　　 we can’t find the right words in English to express the meanings in Chinese.” ‎ In fact, the mixing of the two languages 29.m　　　　 it easier to learn a second language. A 24-year-old Canadian Lisa said, “My mum can’t speak any Chinese, but she tries to remember nihao (hello) by ‘knee’ and ‘how’. In this way, she can 30.e　　　　 say some Chinese words.” ‎ 7‎ ‎【参考答案】‎ Ⅰ.[主旨大意]本文是一篇记叙文。一个男孩捡到了一块貌似很普通的石头,打算把它磨光滑。朋友们都嘲笑他,并劝他放弃,但男孩未放弃,一直坚持打磨这块石头,最后他惊奇地发现它是一颗钻石。故事告诉我们:自己认定的事情就要坚持去做,不要在乎别人的看法。‎ ‎1—5　CDBBA　6—10　BCACD Ⅱ.Passage 1　11—15　BCBAD Passage 2　[主旨大意]本文讲述了一位残疾人通过信件鼓励牢房中的人的故事。它告诉大家:无论生活在什么样的环境中,我们都有独特的经历、能力和上帝赋予的天赋,都可以找到方法去接触那些迫切需要鼓励和力量的人。‎ ‎16.B　17.D　18.C　19.A　20.C Ⅲ.21.difference　22.speaking ‎23.collected　24.women　25.teacher ‎26.Using　27.of　28.because ‎29.makes　30.easily 7‎
