Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the    26      is that homeless is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a    27     country like Germany?

Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making    28    for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first    29      one long hot summer when most Germans were     30      on holidays. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches,  31  a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.

The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t   32   . “What these people also need is warmth and    33   ,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t    34     to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita    35    there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always    36    to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.

The couple were soon    37    all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to     38     donations. Today, over thirty companies    39    donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to   40     them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer   41     new shoes.

Kurt and Rita receive no   42     for their hard work.. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t    43     money for helping their children. The love we get on the street is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets   44    , she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a  45  in the world.

阅读下列四篇短文, 从每小题所给的A.B.C.D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

They are the sort of friends who are so close they trust each other with their lives. If one falls, the other is there to catch them.

They are Wellman, whose legs were permanently injured nine years ago in a rock-climbing accident, and Corbett ,an experienced rock climber. Together, they climbed up Half Dome, the famous 2, 000-foot rock in the Yosemite National Park, through one of the most difficult routes(路线).

During the climb, Corbett took the lead, hit in the metal spikes(尖状物) that guided the ropes and climbed up. Then, after Wellman pulled himself up the rope, Corbett went down to remove the spikes and climbed up again. This process was repeated time and again inch by inch, for 13 days.

Wellman’s job was not easy either. He got himself up the rope through upper body strength alone. In all, Wellman figured that he had done 5,000 pull-ups up the rope on the climb.

However, when the two men first met, they never talked about climbing, “He knew that was how I got injured”, Wellman said. Until one day Wellman decided that he wanted to climb again and they started training.

Their climb of Half Dome was not all smooth. At one point, pieces of rock gave away, and Corbett dropped down quickly. Wellman locked their rope in place, stopping the fall at 20 feet. His quick action probably saved his friend’s life.

“Your partner can save your life---you can save your partner’s life.” Wellman said as the pair received congratulations from friends. “There are real close ties.”

46.Which of the following was a challenge for Corbett in climbing Hall Dome?

A. To climb up to remove the spikes.

B. To climb it twice.

C. To do 5,000 pull-ups up the rope.

D. To lock the rope in place.

47. Why did the two men never talk about climbing when they first met?

A. Corbett was poorly trained.

B. Wellman had lost interest in climbing.

C. Corbett didn’t want to hurt Wellman.

D. Wellman hadn’t decided whether to climb again.

48. What do we know about Wellman?

A. He climbed Half Dome by himself.

B. He was disabled in a traffic accident.

C. He stopped rock-climbing for some time.

D. He was saved by Corbett during the climb.

49. The main idea of the text is that____________.

A. two heads are better than one.

B. friendship is precious in life.

C. the disabled should never give up.

D. a man can be destroyed but cannot be defeated.

阅读下列四篇短文, 从每小题所给的A.B.C.D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

Some years ago, I was hired by an American bank. I received a letter from the head of the Personnel Department that started, “Dear John, I am quite pleased that you have decided to join us.” That “quite” saddened me. I thought he was saying “we’re kind of pleased you decided to join us although I wish we had hired someone else.” Then I discovered that in American English “quite” sometimes means “very”, while in British English it means “fairly”.

So the first lesson about working in other countries is to learn the language and by that I don’t just mean the words people speak. It is the body language, dress, manners, ideas and so on. The way people do things highlights many of the differences we see between cultures.

Some of these differences may be only on the surface—dress, food and hours of work—while others may be deeper and take longer to deal with. Mostly, it is just a question of getting used to the differences and accepting them, like the climate, while getting on with business.

Some of the differences may be an improvement. People are more polite; the service is better; you ask for something to be done and it happens without having to ask again. However, other differences can be troubling, like punctuality(准时). If you invite people to a party at 7 o’clock your guests will consider it polite to turn up exactly on time in Germany, five minutes early in the American Midwest, an hour early in Japan, 15 minutes afterwards in the UK, up to  an hour afterwards in Italy and some time in the evening in Greece. I prefer not to use the word “late” because there is nothing wrong with the times people arrive. It is simply the accepted thing to do in their own country.

50. The author was unhappy as mentioned in Paragraph 1 because he thought________.

A. the American bank didn’t think much of him

B. the American bank might hire another person

C. it’s difficult to get used to American culture

D. it’s easy to misunderstand Americans

51. The word “highlight” in Paragraph 2 probably means____________.

A. encourages        B. helps to narrow       C. increases      D. draws attention to

52. According to the author, what should we do with most cultural differences?

A. Ask the native people for help

B. Understand and accept them

C. Do things in your own way

D. Do in-depth research

53. When invited to a party the people who are usually punctual are__________.

A. Italians            B. Germans           C. Greeks           D. The British

阅读下列四篇短文, 从每小题所给的A.B.C.D四个选项中,选出最佳选项。

    Honey from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper---a little bird called a honey guide.

     The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives(蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for curious animals or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.

      Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.

58. Why is it difficult to find a wild bees’ nest?

A. It’s small in size.                   B. It’s hidden in trees.

C. It’s covered with wax.               D. It’s hard to recognize.

59. What do the words “the follower” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A. A bee             B. A bird             C. A honey seeker.       D. A beekeeper.

60. The honey guide is special in the way_____________.

A. it gets its food   B. it goes to church   C. it sings in the forest  D. it reaches into bees’ nest

根据短文内容, 从下框的A-F选项中选出能概括出每段主题的最佳选项。选项中有一项是多余项。

 

A.      Avoid asking your child too many questions

B.      Tell your child stories about your growing up

C.       Don’t judge or criticize your child

D.      Listen to your kids with respect

E.       Provide pressure-free conversation opportunities

F.       Ask children gently what they think

 

If your child has gone from a continuous chatterbox to making conversations that consist mostly of yes and no, it’s time to consider these tips on how to talk to kids, so you’ll know what’s going on in your child’s world.

 

61.               

The quickest way to get kids to shut up and, as a result, shut you out of their lives is to continuously press them about things. A more effective way is to sit back and patiently wait for them to open up in a low-stress family and then be prepared to listen.

 

62.               

  Parents can sometimes make kids at a young age decide it is best not to talk about something when they are criticized. If you really want to know what’s on your child’s mind, then avoid passing judgment and focus instead on why something seems important to your child.

 

63.               

  If you want to raise a creative and independent thinker, stop telling your child what he ought to feel or think. You can gently encourage additional conversations by simply asking why he feels the way he does or what he would do in a certain situation.

 

64.               

   You may think you’re just asking questions out of curiosity when communicating with your child, but an endless stream of questions about what they did, whether everyone got along, if they went to the bathroom, etc., are enough to make anyone shut up! Practice patience and let your kids open up on their terms.

 

65.               

  Kids can relate to you and other adults when you tell your stories happening when you were their age. Talking to kids by telling them about things like something embarrassing that happened or the first crush (迷恋) you had helps them to connect with you and understand that you might actually know what they are going through!
