7.Some people believe that a Robin Hood is at work,others that a wealthy person simply wants to distribute his or her fortune before dying.But the donator who started sending envelopes with cash to deserving causes,accompanied by an article from the local paper,has made a northern German city believe in fairytales (童話)
The first envelope was sent to a victim support group.It contained?10,000 with a cutting from the Braunschtveiger Zeitung about how the group supported a woman who was ro bbed of her handbag; similar plain white anonymous (匿名)envelopes,each containing?10,000,then arrived at a kindergarten and a church.
The envelopes keep coming,and so far at least?190,000 has been distributed.Last month,one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office.It came after a story it published about Tom,a 14-year-old boy who was severely disabled in a swimming accident.The receptionist at the Braunschweiger Zeitung opened an anonymous white envelope to find 20 notes of?500 inside,with a copy of the article.The name of the family was underlined.
"I was driving when I heard the news,"Claudia Neumann,the boy's mother,told DerSpiegel magazine."I had to park on the side of the road; I was speechless."
The money will be used to make the entrance to their house wheelchair-accessible.a(chǎn)nd for a course of treatment that their insurance company refused to pay for.
"For someone to act so selflessly,for this to happen in such a society in which everyone thinks of himself,was astonishing,"Mrs.Neumann said.Her family wonder whether the donator is a Robin Hood character,taking from banks to give to the needy.
Henning Noske,the editor of the Braunschweiger Zeitung,said:"Maybe it is an old person who is about to die.We just do not know."However,he has told his reporters not to look for the city's hero,for fear that discovery may stop the donations.

解答 1 C 推理判斷題.根據(jù)第一段最后一句中的accompanied by an article from the local paper可推知 Braunschweiger Zeitung 是一份報紙的名字,另外在第三段第一句話有一個one of them was sent to the newspaper's own office有提示.選C.
2.D 細(xì)節(jié)理解題.根據(jù)第四段談到這位受害男孩母親聽到她的孩子被匿名捐贈的消息后表示的一句話"I was speechless"可知她很震驚,很無語.D項表達(dá)正確.
3.B 推理判斷題.根據(jù)最后一段最后一句話"報紙的編輯告訴記者不要找這個城市的英雄,因為擔(dān)心發(fā)現(xiàn)后他就可能不再進(jìn)行捐贈的活動"也可推知這個匿名捐贈活動還會繼續(xù)下去,B項表達(dá)正確.
4.C 標(biāo)題推斷題.本文主要講述用信封匿名捐贈的事情在社會引起很大反響,這個捐贈者還會繼續(xù)把這個善舉進(jìn)行下去,用C項Unknown Hero Spreads love in Envelopes"匿名英雄用信封傳遞愛"最能概括文章大意.

17.Almost anywhere in the world,you can probably see graffiti (涂鴉畫).Although it's usually more common in big cities,it can be found in almost any community,big or small.
The problem with graffiti art is the question of whether it's really art.This isn't always an easy question to answer,simply because there are so many different types of graffiti.While some simply consists of collections of letters,known as tags,with little artistic value,such examples are easy to find,especially on larger spaces such as walls.
If it weren't for the fact that most graffiti is placed on private property without permission,it might be more commonly recognized as a legal form of art.Most graffiti,however,annoys the property owner,who is more likely to paint over it or remove it than accept it as art.
Many ways of removing graffiti have been developed,such as paints that  dissolve graffiti paint,or make it easy to remove.Community groups and government departments often organize graffiti-removal teams.
It hardly makes sense to encourage artists to deface (丑化) private or public property; but perhaps there are ways to work with them rather than just oppose them.Graffiti artists can,for example,create murals (壁畫) for property owners,and get paid for them.
Maybe we need to start at a very basic level,and find a way to encourage the creation of graffiti art on paper or canvas rather than on walls.After all,who would remember Monet or Picasso if they'd created their masterpieces on walls,only to have them painted over the next day?Finding a solution to such a complex problem is never going to be easy,but with more and more graffiti art being recognized in galleries around the world,we do need to try.

66.What would be the best title for this passage?D
A.How to Be a Good Graffiti Artist.B.Stop Removing Graffiti!
C.Do You Like Graffiti?D.Is Graffiti Art?
67.The reason why people remove graffiti is that itA.
A.makes buildings ugly                  B.has no artistic value at all
C.robs private property                   D.takes up too much space
68.In Paragraph 4,the underlined word"dissolve"is closest in meaning toC.
A.change         B.flow          C.remove           D.freeze
69.The example of Monet and Picasso are mentioned in the passage to indicate thatD.
A.they are world-famous artists
B.they are good at graffiti
C.walls are right places to keep their masterpieces
D.their works,if painted on the wall,might not be kept long
70.The writer's attitude toward graffiti is that graffitiD.
A.should be removed by more countries      B.should be saved on larger spaces
C.should be created only on paper or canvas     D.may be accepted as art.

12.Hallmark  arrived in my hometown of Calcutta,India when I was 16.On Valentine's Day(情人節(jié)),I waited in line with many other teenagers just for a chance to get into the store.I remember wishing two things.One of them is that the good-looking boy whom I could see through the store window was picking out a gift for me.Unfortunately,Valentine's Day passed and I received nothing but a lecture from my father on how Western capitalism(資本主義) was ruining your culture.
The next Valentine's Day,I still didn't have a boyfriend,but I did receive a greeting card from a secret admirer.I can't remember what it exactly said inside the card,but it hardly mattered.I know I'm not the only one who's had the blues because of being single on Valentine's Day.
It's not just on Valentine's Day that I'm reminded of these feelings.One night,my friend and I were at the subway station in New York City waiting for the local to arrive.The station was mostly full of college students,and later an older couple walked in.Just at that moment,a street musician started playing She's Only a Woman to Me.The couple began dancing around the station and lost in their own world.On the train,I found myself recalling the time when I was with a date at the subway station,and there he picked me up in his arms like I was a ballerina(芭蕾舞女演員).
My view of romance has changed from when I was 16in Calcutta to now,23,and living in Manhattan.This year,I won't focus all my romantic expectations on one particular day.I'll spend Valentine's Day with friends in New York City.But I won't try to hide somewhere or turn off my cellphone.Instead,I'll help my coupled-up friends pack for their weekend trips to Rome.

55.The underlined word"Hallmark"in Paragraph 1probably refers to aC.
A.city       B.street
C.store      D.man
56.We can infer that in the opinion of the writer's fatherB.
A.his daughter should have received a gift
B.people in India shouldn't celebrate Valentine's Day
C.people in India should welcome Western culture
