【題目】A ten-year-old from Howell, Michigan is being praised as a hero thanks to his persistence (堅(jiān)持) that led to saving the life of an elderly neighbor. The event happened late in an evening when Danny DiPietro was being driven home from hockey practice by his mom.

That’s when the young boy noticed an open garage (車庫) and a figure (身影) that he believed was a dog outside an apartment building near his house. Given the freezing cold weather, the young boy got a feeling that something was not right. But instead of dismissing it like most kids his age would have, he insisted that his mother, Dawn, find out what was going on. Dawn tried to make Danny believe that no one would leave a dog out in such cold weather, but he refused to take no for an answer.

Dawn finally gave in and decided to drive to the area with the family dog and see if there was any truth to Danny’s hunch (直覺).Sure enough, as she got closer to the apartment building she noticed a garage that was wide open and someone waving madly for help. Upon getting there, she realized that it was not a dog the young boy had seen, but Kathleen St. Onge. The 80-year-old had fallen down on some ice in her garage and had been lying there for two hours, unable to get up.

Dawn rushed home to get her husband to help and called 911. The two then returned with some blankets to cover Ms. St. Onge, while they waited for the ambulance (救護(hù)車) to arrive. Though still in hospital, the elderly woman is recovering well and forever grateful to Danny, for following up on his hunch!

【1】When seeing a figure in an open garage, Danny ________.

A. recognized it was an old man B. thought it was a homeless dog

【2】When Dawn got closer to the garage, she ________.

【題目】閱讀下面短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
D
In her outstanding book, “Choose the Happiness Habit”, Pam Golden wrote, “Take the story of two twin brothers for example. One grew up and became an alcoholic (酒鬼), while the other became a successful businessman. When asked why he became an alcoholic, the alcoholic replied, “Because my father was a drunk.” However, the successful businessman's answer was also “Because my father was a drunk.” when asked why he succeeded. The same background. The same upbringing (培養(yǎng)). However, the results were quite different. Why? The reason is that they had different choices. The brothers chose different thoughts which formed the situations they found themselves in at last, so they had different experiences.
There was a time in my life when I thought difficulty was due to “bad luck”. Have you ever heard the saying “When it rains, it pours”? That was my answer when others asked me how things were going on when I was in trouble. So what do you think I got? “RAIN”. More and more “RAIN”. I couldn't understand why bad luck was always with me.
Pam Golden says, “You're either living in the problem or you’re living in the solution.” Now, when I'm faced with what I used to think was a negative (消極的) situation, I use a different way to think about it. I force myself to replace those negative thoughts that make me lose heart in my mind with positive thoughts which encourage me to fight against the difficulty bravely. Sometimes I write down some ideas that may be a solution, which I combine with the lessons I have learned from the bad situations and the difficulties that troubled me in the past, and often, I find a solution to the problem soon. It seems that I should thank the difficulty I met with. The RAIN that poured in my world has become great experiences that provide me with valuable experience, from which I can benefit.
Now, it doesn't “rain ” as much in my life as it used to. In fact, most days are beautiful, cloudless and sunny! Sometimes I do get a rain, but I think it makes me stronger just like the rain helps plants grow up.
（1）The example of the twin brothers shows that ________.
A.making good choices is the most important
B.education decides a person's future
C.upbringing makes a big difference
D.it is luck that leads to success
（2）What does “RAIN” mentioned in the second paragraph refer to?
A.Water.
B.Good luck.
C.Success.
D.Difficulty.
（3）What is talked about in the third paragraph?
A.How the author collects useful experience.
B.How the author deals with difficulty now.
C.How the author gets help from others.
D.How the author lives in the problem.
（4）Which of the following agrees with the author's attitude now in the text?
A.All things are difficult before they are easy.
B.Meeting with difficulty is not a bad thing.
C.Fortune is what it takes to succeed.
D.Things at the worst will mend.

【題目】Dec.11 marked the 15th anniversary of China's entry into the World Trade Organization (WTO). On that day in 2001, China formally became a member of the WTO. Now the country has grown into the world’s second-largest economy and the largest trading country, while millions of Chinese have been lifted out of poverty. And 15 years on, it’s evident that being a WTO member has transformed the nation’s everyday lives for the better.

Imports are now a common sight in Chinese stores and supermarkets, while they were previously rarely seen on shelves. The Chinese now have access to many imports varying from luxury goods like high-end cars and famous brand watches, to daily necessities. China’s WTO membership has also made imports less expensive for the Chinese public.

For instance, since 2005, no tariffs (關(guān)稅) have been imposed (施加) on Chinese imports of digital cameras and other devices.

Our education industry has also benefited from China’s WTO membership. Many top global universities have joined forces with Chinese ones to establish cooperative education institutions, bringing foreign teaching concepts to Chinese students. For example, New York University Shanghai was jointly founded by New York University and East China Normal University. In addition, an increasing number of Chinese students are furthering their studies abroad, while many foreign students are coming to China to carry out their higher education. According to the Ministry of Education, 523,700 students studied overseas last year, and the number is expected to keep growing this year.

China’s WTO entry has brought benefit not only to the country’s people, but also for the rest of the world.

【1】One advantage of China’s WTO membership is that ________.

A. all the Chinese people are out of poverty

B. no tariffs will be charged for different kinds of imports

C. the Chinese can buy more foreign products at a lower price

D. it only brings benefits to Chinese agriculture and education

【2】New York University Shanghai is an example of ________.

A. foreign-funded universities

B. educational reform

C. state-owned universities

D. international cooperation

【3】What may be talked about in the following paragraph?

A. How China’s entry into the WTO has changed people’s lives.

B. What the Chinese have got from being a member of the WTO.

C. The efforts the Chinese government has made to fight against poverty.

D. The good effects on the other countries after China’s entering the WTO.

【4】What is the text mainly about?

C. Trade and education in China. D. The development of China’s economy.

I visited my aunt in the countryside near the city last week. I was surprising to see that great changes had been taken place in the countryside. Take my aunt’s family for example. We supply precious flower to the stores in the city and have over ten workers working for them. Their family’s income reached as much 100,000 yuan last year.

【題目】閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng)(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。
D
I travel a lot, and I find out different “styles”（風(fēng)格）of directions every time I ask “How can I get to the post office?”
Foreign tourists are often confused（困惑）in Japan because most streets there don't have names; in Japan, people use landmarks（地標(biāo)）in their directions instead of street names. For example, the Japanese will say to travelers, “Go straight down to the corner. Turn left at the big hotel and go past a fruit market. The post office is across from the bus stop.”
In the countryside of the American Midwest, there are not usually many landmarks. There are no mountains, so the land is very flat; in many places there are no towns or buildings within miles. Instead of landmarks, people will tell you directions and distances. In Kansas or Iowa, for example, people will say, “Go north two miles. Turn east, and then go another mile.”
People in Los Angeles, California, have no idea of distance on the map; they measure distance in time, not miles. “How far away is the post office?” you ask. “Oh,” they answer, “it is about five minutes from here.” You say, “Yes, but how many miles away is it?” They don't know.
It's true that a person doesn't know the answer to your question sometimes. What happens in such a situation? A New Yorker might say, “Sorry, I have no idea.” But in Yucatan, Mexico, no one answers “I don't know.” People in Yucatan believe that “I don't know” is impolite. They usually give an answer, often a wrong one. A tourist can get very, very lost in Yucatan!
（1）When a tourist asks the Japanese the way to a certain place, they usually ____________.
A.describe the place carefully
B.show him a map of the place
C.tell him the names of the streets
D.refer to recognizable buildings and places
（2）What is the place where people measure distance in time?
A.New York.
B.Los Angeles.
C.Kansas.
D.Iowa.
（3）People in Yucatan may give a tourist a wrong answer _____________.
A.order to save time
B.to cheat him
C.so as to be polite
D.for fun
（4）What can we infer from the text?
A.It's important for travelers to understand cultural differences.
B.It's useful for travelers to know how to ask the way properly.
C.People have similar understandings of politeness.
D.New Yorkers are generally friendly to visitors.
