He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.‎ He reported the case to the police and then sat there, lost and lonely in a strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.‎ Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can(垃圾桶) that had been left out on the footpath.‎ My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of unfamiliar papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a halfwritten letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.‎ That family not only restored the important documents to us that day but also restored our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send a warm wish their way.‎ ‎4. What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?‎ A. Go shopping. B. Find a house.‎ C. Join his family. D. Take a vacation.‎ ‎5. The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from ____________.‎ A. a friend of his family B. a Sydney policeman C. a letter in his papers D. a stranger in Sydney ‎6.

From India to Australia B. Living in a New Country C. Turning Trash to Treasure D. In Search of New Friends C Every hour spent outdoors each week can reduce a child's chance of becoming short-sighted by two per cent. Children who are short-sighted spend an average of 3. 7 fewer hours a week outside compared with those who have normal vision, a study has found.‎ Shortsightedness runs in families and has also been linked to a host of factors. They include the amount of time spent focusing on near objects and levels of physical activity. But simply spending time out of the house may be enough to protect the eyesight. Being outdoors can reduce the amount of time that children spend in reading or playing computer games, researchers said.‎ Between 15 and 20 per cent of British people are short-sighted, but the problem is much more serious in parts of East Asia. There, as much as 80 per cent of the population is short-sighted. One study compared children living in different countries. It found that those in Australia had better vision on average than people of the same age in China and Singapore. The Australian group read and achieved as much as those in other countries, but they were found to spend more time outdoors.‎ Dr Sherwin, one of the researchers who did the study, said the benefit from being outdoors could be linked to increased UV radiation(紫外线辐射）.Shortsightedness is caused by having longer eyes and some studies have shown that some chemicals affected by UV rays may control the length of the eye. A lack of sunlight could make such chemicals grow too much, he explained.‎ He said, "It could be caused by not enough UV radiation, and it could also be caused by spending less time looking into the distance or not enough physical activity.”‎ ‎8. What is the main idea of the passage?‎ A. Children's shortsightedness can be cured.‎ B. There are several causes of children's shortsightedness.‎ C. Spending more time outdoors can lead to better eyesight.‎ D. Children who spend more time outdoors are much healthier.‎ ‎9.What does the underlined word "They" in Paragraph 2 refer to?‎ A. Near objects ‎ B. Levels of physical activity.‎ C. Families which have shortsightedness. ‎ D. Some factors linked to shortsightedness.‎ ‎10. According to Paragraph 3，in the study children in Australia .‎ A. achieved less B. had poorer eyesight C. stayed outdoors more D. spent less time reading ‎11. Which of the following is NOT mentioned by Dr Sherwin as a cause of shortsightedness?‎ A. Receiving too little UV radiation.‎ B. Not taking part in enough physical activities.‎ C. Spending little time looking into the distance.‎ D. Not eating enough food that is good for our eyesight.‎ D Are you at least 17 years old? Do you weigh more than 110 pounds? Do you consider yourself fairly healthy?‎ If you answered yes to all of these questions, you should be donating (捐赠) blood every two months. In my survey of my schoolmates, I found that only 50 percent of them have ever donated blood and that only 1 out of 13 of them donate regularly. The lack of blood donors is a serious problem that requires immediate action.‎ According to the American Red Cross Web pages, in the United States alone someone receives a blood transfusion (输血) once every three seconds. People who benefit from donations include cancer patients as well as babies. The need for blood never takes a vacation and neither should donors.‎ Let me tell you about Brooke, a threeyearold girl with cancer. Brooke has spent about half of her life in the hospital receiving treatments. Her treatment will require about 500 units of blood in total, of which only 250 units have been replaced. She still needs the other half of the total ‎ amount to continue her treatment. If she doesn’t receive this blood, she will not live to start kindergarten.‎ Examples like Brooke’s are becoming all too common these days, with only ‎1 in 20 Americans donating blood and this number keeps dropping each year. These facts are extremely worrying considering that nearly half of us here will need blood sometime in our lives.‎ You can now see the seriousness of the problem with the lack of blood donations. Fortunately, it is a problem that can be easily solved. Each and every one of you can be part of the solution. All you have to do is go to the nearest Red Cross and donate your blood.‎ ‎12. How does the author explain the problem mentioned in Paragraph 2?‎ A. By answering questions. B. By making comparisons.‎ C. By presenting research findings. D. By describing his own experiences.‎ ‎13. What can we learn from the American Red Cross Web pages?‎ A. The suffering of patients. B. The strong need for blood.‎ C. The efforts of the Red Cross. D. The benefits of taking vacations.‎ ‎14. The threeyearold girl Brooke___________.‎ A. doesn’t get fair treatment in the hospital B. will need another 250 units of blood C. stays alive by receiving blood daily D. can’t wait to start kindergarten ‎15. What is the purpose of the text?‎ A. To persuade people to donate blood. B. To present some new medical results.‎ C. To call on people to save a little girl. D. To explain the risks of blood donation.‎ 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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ There are a lot of different people in he world, but despite(尽管)our differences we all want to get along. Humans are social beings, and we enjoy being treated nicely. Getting along with someone, regardless of (不管)their passions, isn't about being their best friend or sharing all their hobbies. 16 .‎ ‎◆ Be a good listener.‎ ‎17 Don't start to have a chat immediately when you have just arrived. First, examine the situation and the conversation, and then say whatever you think fit. It is better to say something ‎ valuable, rather than meaningless jokes. So it is better to listen to what the conversation is about before speaking.‎ ‎◆ 18 .‎ It is not your job to change any one else. Let other people live how they want to live. You can only change how you interact（沟通）with people. If you do not like how someone acts, you can arrange things so that you interact with them as little as possible.‎ ‎◆ Keep your sense of humor.‎ A little laughter goes a long way, and a smile eases tension(紧张), while a frown can create tension. If someone makes fun of you, try t laugh it off. 19 Be mindful of your facial expression. If you are always cheerful and optimistic, people will cheer up when they see you coming.‎ ‎◆ Do things for others.‎ Being kind is its own reward. It could be as simple as bringing in hamburgers for people or offering to help someone who is struggling to carry something. 20 .‎ A. Try to interact with others.‎ B. Never try to change people.‎ C. Laughter is the best medicine.‎ D. If someone is frowning, smile at them.‎ E. It is about treating people with respect and care.‎ F. To start a conversation, it is important to listen first, especially when you are in a group.‎ G. This will show you care about others and this will also make them want to be around you.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；域小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白 处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ Holly’s dad kept homing pigeons (信鸽) in the back garden.
