It was a winter morning, just a couple of weeks before Christmas 2005. While most people were warming up their ears, Trevor, my husband, had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work. On arrival, he parked his bike outside the back door as he usually does. After putting in 10 hours of labor, he returned to find his bike gone.
The bike, a black Kona 18 speed, was our only transport. Trevor used it to get to work, putting in 60-hour weeks to support his young family. And the bike was also used to get groceries (食品雜貨) saving us from having to walk long distances from where we live.
I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story. Shortly after that，several people in our area offered to help. One wonderful stranger even bought a bike, then called my husband to pick it up. Once again my husband had a way to get to and from his job. It really is an honor that a complete stranger would go out of their way for someone they have never met before.
People say that a smile can be passed from one person to another, but acts of kindness from strangers are even more so. This experience has had a spreading effect in our lives because it strengthened our faith in humanity (人性) as a whole. And it has influenced (影響) us to be more mindful of ways we, too, can share with others. No matter how or how small, an act of kindness shows that someone cares. And the results can be everlasting.
小題1:Why was the bike so important to the couple?
A．The man’s job was bike racing.B．It was their only possession.
C．It was a nice Kona 18 speed.D．They used it for work and daily life
小題2:We can infer from the text that ________
A．The couple worked 60 hours a weekB．people were busy before Christmas
C．the stranger brought over the bikeD．life was hard for the young family
小題3:How did people get to know the couple’s problem?
A．From radio broadcasts.B．From a newspaper.
C．From TV news.D．From a stranger.
小題4:What does the couple learn from their experience?
A．Strangers are usually of little help.B．One should take care of their bike.
C．News reports make people famous.D．An act of kindness can mean a lot.

小題1:D
小題1:D
小題1:B
小題1:D

小題1:D這是一道歸納題.根據(jù)第二段"Trevor used it to get to work...And the bike was also used to get groceries,"可知自行車(chē)是Trevor家工作和日常生活的交通工具.
小題1:D這是一道推理題.根據(jù)第一段"While most people were warming up their cars,Trevor,my husband,had to get up early to ride his bike four kilometers away from home to work."可知大部分人都開(kāi)車(chē),而Trevor要早起騎車(chē)去工作,可以看出Trevor家不富裕.
小題1:B這是一道推斷題.根據(jù)第三段"I was so sad that someone would steal our bike that I wrote to the newspaper and told them our story."可知作者把自行車(chē)被盜的事情告訴了報(bào)紙,所以人們是在報(bào)紙上知道這個(gè)故事的.
小題1:D歸納題.根據(jù)最后兩句"No matter how big or how small,an act of kindness shows that someone cares.And the results can be everlasting."可知善行無(wú)論大小,作用是巨大的.

Two traveling angels(天使) stopped to spend the night in the home of a wealthy family. The family was rude and refused to let the angels stay in the guest room. Instead the angels were given a space in the cold basement. As they made their bed on the hard floor, the older angel saw a hole in the wall and repaired it. When the younger angel asked why, the older angel replied: “Things aren’t always what they seem.”
The next night the pair came to rest at the house of a very poor but very hospitable(好客的) farmer and his wife. After sharing what little food they had, the couple let the angels sleep in their bed where they could have a good night’s rest. When the sun came up the next morning, the angels found the farmer and his wife in tears. Their only cow, whose milk had been their only income, lay dead in the field.
The younger angel was very angry and asked the older angel, “How could this happen?” Why did you not watch out for the cow? The first man had everything, yet you watched over his house,” she accused. “The second family had little but was willing to share everything, and you did not help.”
“Things aren’t always what they seem,” the older angel replied. “When we stayed in the basement, I noticed there was gold stored in that hole in the wall. Since the owner was so greedy and unwilling to share his good fortune, I asked God if I could seal(封口) the wall so he couldn’t find it. Then last night as we slept in the farmer’s bed, the angel of death came for his wife. I asked God if the angel could take the cow instead. Things aren’t always what they seem.”
小題1:Why did the older angel repair the hole for the rich family?
A．Because she didn’t like the greedy owner.
B．Because she wanted to save the gold for the poor.
C．Because the basement was too cold to stay in.
D．Because she believed that one should always be ready to offer help.
小題2:In paragraph two, “the pair” refers to_____________.
A．The poor coupleB．the rich couple
C．the guestsD．the angels
小題3:The story tries to tell the reader that_________________.
A．a(chǎn)ngels are always ready to help the poor
B．sometimes things are not what they seem
C．a(chǎn)ngels are always ready to help the rich
D．the young should always learn from the old.

I suppose that having been brought up in the countryside and close  to animals，it wasn’t remarkable(不平常的)when I decided  to become a vet(獸醫(yī))．Luckily I was also good at all the necessary science subjects. So after the college entrance examination I found myself at a veterinary college，training to look after animals in all kinds of situations. I hoped that I would be able to work in the research field so that I could find cures for animal diseases.
Much to my surprise，I found public health care was a very important aspect of my course. This is an area of animal medicine where a vet’s work has many things in common with the work of a doctor of human diseases. I particularly liked it because I recognized that the study of animal diseases can help human medicine. As we know，many infectious diseases come from animals—including SARS and bird flu.
Some of the infections have only been understood after carefully analytical work in labs by animal doctors. They helped identify the animal source for diseases such as SARS. They were also the first to identify various kinds of viruses. Sometimes vets are also able to suggest a cure for human illnesses. When I found this out I was determined to make public health medicine my chosen career.
After graduation，I applied for a job in public health. Soon I found myself concerned with the problem of bird flu. This is  an illness that attacks birds，but humans can catch the disease  if they are in close contact with infected birds. Though the job  is dangerous，it makes me proud that vets and other animal  disease researchers are in the front line helping to fight these  unknown human diseases

A．The writer’s happy family life.
B．How the writer did research work in studying bird flu.
C．How the writer dealt with the relationship with other workmates.

A．Animals with infectious diseases should be killed.
B．Keeping animals is dangerous to humans.
C．Dangerous as a vet’s job is，it is significant to the human race.

It was her giggling (咯咯笑) that drew my attention. Note taking really wasn’t all that funny.
Walking over to the offender (肇事者), I asked for the   36 . Frozen, she refused to give it to me. I waited, all attention in the classroom on the quiet   37  between a teacher and a student. When she finally   38  it over she whispered, “Okay, but I didn’t draw it.” It was a hand-drawn   39  of me, teeth blackened and the words “I’m stupid” coming out of my mouth.
I managed to fold it up calmly. My mind,   40  , was working angrily as I struggled not to   41 . I figured I knew the two most likely students who drew the picture. It would do them some   42  to teach them a lesson, and maybe it was high time that I did it.
Thankfully, I was able to keep myself   43 .
When there were about six minutes remaining, I showed the class the picture. They were all silent as I told them how   44  this was for me. I told them there must be a reason   45    and now was their chance to write down anything they needed to tell me. Then I let them write silently while I was seated in the back of the classroom, with tears in my eyes.
As I   46  the notes later, many of them said something like, “I’ve got nothing   47  you.” or “I’m sorry you were hurt.” Some kids said, “We’re afraid of you.” But two notes, from the girls who I   48  drew the picture, had a list of issues. I was too   49 , too strict…
Reading those notes, I realized that over the course of this year, instead of   50  my students, I had begun commanding them to   51 . Where I thought I was driving them to success I was   52  driving them away. I had some apology to make. But the next day in the classroom, one boy and one girl each handed me a card. The one   53  by all the boys expressed sincere regret for the ugly joke. The one from the girls asked for   54 .
This was a lesson for both the kids and me. Forgiveness does not change the past, but it does enlarge the   55 .

The clock struck eleven at night. The whole house was quiet. Everyone was in bed except me. Under the strong light, I looked sadly before me at a huge pile of that troublesome stuff they call “books”.
I was going to have my examination the next day. “When can I go to bed?” I asked myself. I didn’t answer. In fact I dared not.
The clock struck twelve.” Oh, !” I cried. “Ten more books to read before I can go to bed!” We pupils are the most wretched creatures in the world. Dad does not agree with me on this. He did not have to work so hard when he was a boy.
The clock struck one. I was quite desperate(絕望的) now. I forgot all I had learned. I was too tired to go on. I did the only thing I could. I prayed, “Oh, God, please help me pass the exam tomorrow. I do promise to work hard afterwards, Amen.” My eyes were so heavy that I could hardly open them. A few minutes later, with my head on the desk, I fell asleep.

One silly question I simply can’t stand is “How do you feel?”  Usually the question is asked of a man in action—a man on the go, walking along the streets, or busily working at his desk. So what do you expect him to say? He’ll probably say, “Fine, I’m all right,” but you have put a bug in his ear —maybe now he’s not sure. If you are a good friend, you may have seen something in his face, or his walk that he overlooked that morning. It starts worrying him a little. First thing you know, he looks in a mirror to see if everything is all right, while you go merrily on your way asking someone else, “How do you feel?”
Every question has its time and place. It’s perfectly acceptable, for instance, to ask “How do you feel?” if you’re visiting a close friend in the hospital. But if the fellow is walking on both legs, hurrying to make a train, or sitting at his desk working, it’s no time to ask him that silly question.
When George Bernard Shaw, the famous writer of plays was in his eighties, someone asked him “How do you feel?” Shaw put him in his place. “When you reach my age,” he said, “either you feel all right or you’re dead.”
小題1:The question “How do you feel?” seems to be correct and suitable when asked of_________.
A．a(chǎn) friend who is illB．a(chǎn) man working at his desk
C．a(chǎn) person having lost a close friendD．a(chǎn) stranger who looks somewhat worried
小題2:George Bernard Shaw’s reply in the passage shows his________.
A．cheerfulnessB．clevernessC．a(chǎn)bilityD．politeness
小題3:The underlined ‘You’ve put a bug in his ear’ in the 1st paragraph means that you’ve _____.
A．made him laugh B．shown concern for him
C．made fun of himD．given him some kind of warning
