21、 Mike was in my third-grade class. All the 34 students were dear to me, but he was one in a million. Very neat in appearance, he had that happy-to-be-alive attitude which made even his occasional mischievousness (调皮捣蛋) delightful.
He often talked incessantly. I had to remind him repeatedly that talking without permission was not acceptable. What impressed me so much, though, was his sincere response every time I corrected him for misbehaving: “Thank you for correcting me, Madam!" I didn't know what to make of it at first, but before long I became accustomed to hearing it many times a day.
One Friday, after working hard on a new concept all week, I sensed that the students were frustrated with themselves and edgy (烦躁不安的) with one another. So I asked them to list the names of the other students and write down the nicest thing they could say about each of their classmates. As the students left the room, each one handed me the paper.
That Saturday, I wrote down the name of each student on a separate sheet of paper and listed what everyone else had said about that individual. On Monday, I gave each student his or her list. Some of them ran two pages. Before long, the entire class were smiling. “I didn't know others liked me so much!" Mike said, “Thank you for teaching me, Madam."
No one ever mentioned those pieces of paper in class again. I never knew if they discussed them after class or with their parents.
Several years later, I got a call from Mike's parents and learned of his death. I was shocked. And then I received a billfold (钱包) with two worm pieces of notebook paper that had been taped, folded and refolded many times. I realized that the pieces of paper were the ones on which I had listed all the good things each of Mike's classmates had said about him. That's when the tears were brimful in my eyes.
【1】What can we infer about Mike according to the first two paragraphs?
A.He was a chatterbox.
B.He was not accepted by others.
C.He turned a deaf ear to the teacher.
D.He cared little about his appearance.
【2】What did the author want the students to show by making the list?
A.Congratulation.
B.Appreciation.
C.Understanding.
D.Preference.
【3】Which of the following can best describe Mike?
A.Naughty but creative.
B.Gentle but impatient.
C.Grateful and respectful.
D.Generous and cautious.
【4】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.Happy to Be Alive
B.All the Good Things
C.A Precious Billfold
D.An Unforgettable Class
22、Never Talk to Strangers?
“Never talk to strangers.” Many children are taught this simple rule as a precaution against abduction(诱拐). In June, 2005, an 11-year-old boy was lost in the Utah wilderness for four days. During that time, he stayed on the path. He saw people searching for him but deliberately hid from them, afraid someone might “steal” him. Eventually, the unfortunate game of hide-and-seek ended and he was found. According to the Canada Safety Council, this alarming incident shows how unwise it is to instill(灌输) a fear of strangers in children. The “stranger danger” message can prevent children from developing the social skills and judgment needed to deal effectively with real-life situations. In a difficult situation, a stranger could be their lifeline to safety.
To have a child go missing is a parent’s worst nightmare. The threat of abduction by a stranger is minimal when compared with other possible reasons for a disappearance. In 2004, there were 67,266 missing-children cases in Canada. Only 31 involved abduction; in most of those cases the abductor was a relative, friend, or person known to the family. There were 671 cases of children wandering off, and 332 cases of abductions by a parent. Almost 80 percent of all cases were runaways. These statistics cast doubt on the idea that children should never talk to strangers. Wandering off is more common—but a lost children may have to call upon a stranger for help, and must develop the ability to judge what kind of people to approach. The “never talk to strangers” rule does not protect children in the situations they are most likely to face. On top of this, it can be confusing. Adults do not model the behaviour; they often talk to strangers. A child may not know how to tell who is a stranger, and who is not.
For young children, nothing replaces close supervision(监管). Pre-schoolers do not understand risk and tend to act without thinking. Children need to develop habits and sttitudes that will protect them from the real threats and dangers they may face. The Canada Safety Council encourages parents to give their children age-appropriate positive messages about safety, bearing in mind how youngsters may understand their world.
【1】Which of the following statements is NOT true about the 11-year-old boy?
A. He practiced the “never talk to strangers” rule.
B. He hid from the rescuers to avoid possible abduction.
C. He eventually showed up when his hide-and-seek game ended.
D. He stayed where he was, expecting the coming of familiar people.
【2】 Among the possible reasons for the missing-children cases in Canada, which one is the most frequent?
A. Being abducted by a parent. B. Wandering off.
C. Being abducted by strangers. D. Running away.
【3】The “never talk to strangers” rule is confusing to children because ___.
A. a friendly and attractive person may be dangerous
B. adults do not act upon the rule and strangers are hard to tell
C. the rule does not protect children in the situation of abducting
D. a lost child may have difficulty in communicating with a stranger
【4】Which would the author agree with about the “never talk to strangers” rule?
A. It is not well recognized by parents.
B. It is not effective in keeping kids safe.
C. It is easy enough for children to follow.
D. It is practical as a safety tip in daily life.
23、 Before you throw your trash into the nearest can, think for a moment. Not all your garbage can be dumped into one trashcan. It needs to be sorted out with different things going into different bins. Waste classification, a practice that has long been normal in developed countries like Japan, is the new challenge for many Chinese urban residents. However, though initially you might need to rack your brains to figure out which trash goes into which can, in the long run, the result is well worth the effort.
Landfills, sites where waste is buried and covered over with soil, are a major method of disposing of residential waste in China. However, considering the environmental disaster associated with burying waste, there is a pressing need to reduce the amount of waste that goes into a landfill. Classification, sorting waste into different categories such as harmful waste, recyclables and kitchen waste, is a key solution.
Currently, 46 cities across China, are carrying out a program that aims to put in place a classification-based garbage disposal system by the end of 2020. It is hoped that this will reduce the quantity of waste that ends up in landfills by a large degree. Shanghai came into the media focus in early July after it carried out compulsory garbage sorting rules that those who fail to dispose of garbage properly should be fined. Beijing is reviewing its regulations to follow in Shanghai's footsteps. The new rules may cause short-term inconvenience but they are meant to help residents follow the concept of garbage classification for the common good.
As the programs show, residents can gradually develop this habit with their growing awareness and the help of advanced technology. In future, this practice should be adopted across China, in urban cities and rural areas alike. With public involvement, China's garbage sorting program will contribute not only to the nation's sustainable (可持续的) development but also to making the planet a better place to live in.
【1】What is the most probable reason for classifying waste?
A.No site for burying waste. B.People's habit.
C.Economic cost. D.Environmental pollution.
【2】What is the purpose of the program?
A.To practise waste classification.
B.To protect environment.
C.To save oil for farming.
D.To reduce the quantity of waste.
【3】What can be a suitable title for the text?
A.A program adopted across China.
B.Shanghai carried out new disposal rules.
C.Doing the best with waste.
D.Protecting environment is necessary.
【4】What is likely to happen in China according to the text?
A.China will become the leading country of the program.
B.The program will be spread nationwide.
C.Development in rural areas will make great progress.
D.People will help develop modern technology.
24、A couple of weeks ago, a few friends and I had an opportunity to attend a dear friend’s wedding in New York. After the wedding and reception, rather accidentally four of us gathered in a hotel room and began to explore the deeper meaning of life and death. What does it mean to live truly? If we are all getting closer to death, is all the material accumulation worth it? It is not exactly the type of conversations one has at a wedding.
While the answers varied from person to person, I was left with more questions than answers and a feeling of gratefulness to be surrounded by friends who were asking the “right” questions. As the clock kept ticking past 3 a.m., one of the roommates suggested we watch a short film titled “Last Days of Zach Sobiech”. The film is about a teenager’s journey through the last days of his incurable illness. The film brought up a lot of mixed emotions but one quote that stood out for me was Zach’s simple explanation of happiness, “What makes one happy is seeing someone else smile because you put it there.” By 4 a.m. , there was this energy in the room that had to be shared! With a few packages of post-it notes, we hit the halls of the hotel. We decided to leave short inspirational words on guests’ doors, so when they opened their doors few hours later a smile would turn up.
We ended up sticking post-it notes on all the doors until we ran out of them. The note on the door of the newly-weds properly said, “Where there is love, there is life.”
【1】About “explore the deeper meaning of life and death” at a wedding, the author thinks______
A. it is rather meaningful.

【2】After watching the film, what impressed the author most?
A. Zach’s mixed emotions.
B. Zach’s poor fate.
C. Zach’s simple explanation of happiness.
D. Zach’s struggle with illness.
【3】What did the author and his friends do after they saw the film?
A. They knocked door to door to offer help in the hotel.
B. They shared happiness with the workers of the hotel.
C. They stuck notes with encouraging words on guests’ doors.
D. They thanked the wedding couple gratefully for invitation.
【4】What can we learn from the author and his friends’ action?
A. One who brings happiness to others is also happy oneself.
B. Helping others in trouble is good to oneself.
C. Friends are your valuable treasure.
D. Good is rewarded with good.
