1.[单选题]One day Mark was riding his bike when it began to rain. He started to feel cold sohe looked for a tree to go under for shelter. He was disappointed when he struggled to find a tree. Someday I am going to inspire people to plant trees everywhere, so he thought.Once he got home, he took out his social studies homework and went up to his room to do it. While he was going to his room, he saw his dad throwing away a piece of paper which was used only on one side. He was about to stop him but it was too late. Someday I am going to inspire people to use both sides of the paper, Mark thought.When he woke up the next morning, Mark figured out a way to inspire people. He would put posters around the school. Then he took out eight sheets of poster paper. He made four saying "PLANT A TREE FOR ME," and another four saying "PAPERHAS TWO SIDES, SO USE BOTH."He went to school early and put the posters around the school. After class, histeacher told him to go to the principal's office. Mark had never been to the principal's office before. What if the principal had to punish him about the posters because they never asked him to put them up?When Mark walked in nervously and took a seat, Principal Marcus told him "I would like to thank you for inspiring people to help other living things. When I was on the way back from my lunch break, I saw seven fifth graders planting a tree and heard a few others telling someone else to use both sides of the paper and I'm pretty sure it's because of your posters." Mark couldn't believe his ears. He had finally inspired people. Mark felt very proud.What can be learned from the second paragraph? A Mark stopped his father from throwing the paper away. B Mark thought people shouldn't waste paper. C Mark was interested in social studies. D Mark's father was a careful writer. E F

8.[单选题]Passage 6 Two men walked slowly, one after the other, through the shallow water of a stream. All they could see were stones and earth. The stream ran cold over their feet. They had blanket packs on their backs. They had guns, but no bullets; matches, but no food. Suddenly the man who followed fell over a stone. He hurt his foot badly and called: "Hey, Bill, I've hurt my foot." Bill continued straight on without looking back. The man was alone in the empty land, but he was not lost. He knew the way to their camp, where he would find food and bullets. He struggled to his feet and limped（跛行） on. Bill would be waiting for him there, and together they would go south to the Hudson Bay Company. He had not eaten for two days. Often he stopped to pick some small berries and put them into his mouth. The berries were tasteless, and did not satisfy, but he knew he must eat them. In the evening he built a fire and slept like a dead man. When he woke up, the man took out a small sack. It weighed fifteen pounds. He wasn't sure if he could carry it any longer. But he couldn't leave it behind. He had to take it with him. He put it back into his pack, rose to his feet and staggered on. His foot hurt, but it was nothing compared with his hunger, which made him go on until darkness fell. His blanket was wet, but he knew only that he was hungry. Through his restless sleep he dreamed of banquets（宴会） and of food. The man woke up cold and sick, and found himself lost. But the small sack was still with him. As he dragged himself along, the sack became heavier and heavier. The man opened the sack, which was full of small pieces of gold. He left half the gold on a rock. What was Bill's reaction when he heard that his comrade had hurt his foot? A He rushed at once to care and help him. B He was indifferent as if he had not heard his companion's cry for help. C He immediately helped his partner to attend to the wound. D He immediately ran to others for help.

These four young girls pooled their money and found that they had more than enough money for the boy’s extra purchases. So they upgraded his pens and pencils to top-quality ones, then took the bag out to the boy on the seat. His young face changed from sadness to the most beautiful smile. His mother arrived much later to pick him up. Instead of running to the car, he ran back into the store and called out, "Thank you!”

I was so proud of my team that day. They did something wonderful for that boy and also found the pleasure of giving was as great as receiving

">9.Kindness of Strangers

At the store where I worked, I noticed a young boy of about ten shopping alone with his school list. He placed thing in his basket and went to the checkout.

The young shop assistant told him the total price,$37.60. The boy was instantly disappointed and said he had only been given $20. He took out one thing at a time until he got down to his $20. With eyes full of tears, he asked if he could phone his mum to pick him up. When he got through, it appeared that even this was inconvenient for his mother.

He bit hard on his lip to stop the tears and walked outside to wait on the bench in front of the shop. This Was all too much for the young assistant who had served him and she said, "I wish I could afford to pay for the rest of his things." One of the other girls said she had a few dollars. Then two others said they could help as well.

14.I was being interviewed by a senior manager for a major insurance company. I told him honestly why I wanted the job-I needed to keep my family in Boston. My wife recently died of a heart attack . A job in Boston would help me reduce some of the extreme trauma (精神创伤) and pain of the loss for my 16-year-old daughter. It was important for me to keep her in her high school. I could still hardly talk about the loss of my wife. Bruce, the interviewer, was politely empathetic, but he didn't probe (彻底调查) any further. He admitted my loss and, with great respect, moved on to another subject. After the next round of the interview, Bruce took me to lunch with another person. Then he asked me to take a walk with him. He told me that he, too, had lost his wife. And, like me, he had also been married 20 years and had three children. In his sharing, I realized that he had experienced the same pain as I had a pain that was almost impossible to explain to someone who had not lost a beloved one. He offered his business card and home phone number and suggested that, if I need help or just want someone to talk to, I should feel free to give him a call. Whether I got the job or not, he wanted me to know that he was there if I ever needed help. When he had no idea if we would ever see each other again, he helped our family deal with one of the greatest losses. He turned the normally cold business interview into a caring support for another person in need.1.
