閱讀與表達(dá)（每小題2分，共10分）
My name is Liu Fang. For a long time, I dreamed of doing something in Western China and last year after I left my college, I became a volunteer (志愿者) teacher. It has changed my life completely!
I traveled a long way from Yangkang Railway Station to a small village by bus in the noth part of Qinghai province. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, the first day and  the children there. However, my heart sank (沉下) when I arrived there. It wasn't what I thought of. It didn't look like a school at all! How small it was! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third classroom for me.   
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level (水平). To my surprise, over half of the students didn’t pass the test, but they all wanted to learn new things. 
I spent many nights getting ready for the lessons, reading test papers and marking homework. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress (進(jìn)步) with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and I realized that they really needed me a lot.
I have worked in the village for a year now. I'm very happy and the experience has been very useful for me. Now I know how to look after myself. I love the children. In fact, I would like to go on working here.
小題1:Is Liu Fang a college student now?
小題2:What did Liu Fang think of the school when she saw it?
小題3:How was she getting on with the children?
小題4:What did she think of her work experience in the village?
小題5:Why does she want to go on working there?

Every day, life is made and lost. Every day, life goes on. Every day we experience some of the most important parts of life and may not even realize it: love, generosity, and perseverance. These values aren’t just important to us, they make the world what it is.
Scientists say that the gravity makes the world turn, but some people say that love makes  it  go around. Love can be found anywhere: in families, friends, even strangers. Even if you can’t see it, you know it’s there.
Love may connect people all over the world, but what would the world be without generosity? Whether after a national disaster or a school fund raiser, one thing is certain--- it is better to give than to receive. Generosity is found everywhere and whether it’s a large or small act, it makes a difference. Most of all, generosity is not something you need any qualifications（資格）for, and no matter what you do, it can make a difference. Sometimes, though, it takes effort to be generous, which leads us to perseverance.
Founding a country, riding a bike, or finishing a novel, these are all finished with perseverance. Perseverance is the one thing that can help us achieve whatever we want. It is what helps scientists discover cures for illnesses, and athletes become winners. You may fail, but every time you make a mistake, that’s one less to make the next time.
There is an infinite(無限的) number of things we value. But without love, generosity, and perseverance, we just don’t think that our lives or the world would be the way it is.
小題1:The underlined word “it” in the second paragraph means         .
A．the worldB．the gravityC．the valueD．the experience
小題2:To be generous, the writer thinks       .
A．you needn’t make effort
B．you should be qualified(有資格的)
C．you should give all you have
D．you find it meaningful whatever you do
小題3:The meaning of the word “perseverance” is       .
A．財(cái)富B．體力C．毅力D．機(jī)遇
小題4:Which of the following statement is TRUE?
A．Perseverance is the only thing to help us achieve success.
B．People don’t understand life they experience at all.
C．Helping others is always better than receiving help.
D．What the world is like depends on the gravity and love.
小題5:The best title for the passage may be       .
A．Success and failureB．Three valuesC．Endless loveD．Hard life

I was walking around in a store. I saw an assistant pass this little boy his money back, saying, “I’m sorry, but you don’t have enough money to buy this doll.” I walked toward him and asked him who he wished to give this doll to.
“It’s the doll that my sister loved most and wanted so much for Christmas. She was so sure that Santa Claus would bring it to her.” he said.
I replied to him that maybe Santa Claus will bring it to her, and he shouldn’t worry. But he replied to me sadly, “No, Santa Claus can’t bring it to her where she is now. I have to give the doll to my mommy so that she can give it to my sister when she goes there.” His eyes were so sad while saying this. “My sister has gone to be with God. Daddy says that Mommy is going to see God very soon too, so I thought that she could take the doll with her to give it to my sister.” My heart nearly stopped. I quickly reached for my wallet and said to the boy, “What if we checked again, just in case (萬一)you do have enough money?”

C
Life is like the four seasons. Now I am very old, but when I was young, it was the spring of my life. After I was born, I played a lot, and then I started school. I learned many new things. Like a flower, I grew bigger every day. There were happy days and sorrowful days: some days the sun shone, and some days it didn’t.
In my twenties, I had a good job. I was strong and happy. Then I married and had a child. In those days, I didn’t have much time to think. Every day I was busy and worked very hard. And so, I started to get some white hairs. The summer of my life passed quickly.
Then the days got shorter. Leaves fell from the trees. My child was a university student, and then an engineer. My home was much quieter. I started walking more slowly. One day I stopped working. I had more time. I understood this was my autumn, a beautiful time when the trees change color and give us delicious fruits.
But the days kept getting shorter and colder. Winter has come. I am older and weaker. I know I do not have many days left, but I will enjoy them to the end.

Hotels can make a person’s stay away from home as restful as possible. Hotels provide warm beds to allow guests a peaceful night’s rest. Besides, some hotels offer guests special services such as newspapers to read in the morning, fresh coffee, and even breakfast. Hotel workers want their guests to feel warm and welcome when they stay in their hotel.
One hotel near the Arctic Circle, however, is different. This hotel gives its guests a cold welcome. The Ice Hotel, in Sweden, is all made of ice. The Ice Hotel might sound strange, but in some ways it is a special hotel. It has a front lobby where guests check into the hotel, plenty of rooms to sleep in, and even room service, which guests can use to have food delivered to their rooms. The Ice Hotel is different, though, because most of the items are made from ice.
It takes more than 30 tons of ice and snow to build the Ice Hotel. It melts(融化) in the summer and is rebuilt each winter. Different builders and artists create the Ice Hotel, so each winter this famous hotel has a new shape and design.
The effort of building the Ice Hotel is worth it, however. Walking into the Ice Hotel is like walking into a diamond. The walls reflect even the smallest bits of light. Ice pillars（柱子）support the roof. The floor below shines like glass. Almost every inch of this hotel sparkles inside. Visiting the Ice Hotel is truly an unusual experience.
Temperatures inside the Ice Hotel are usually below freezing. Guests wear warm jackets, hats, gloves, and thick boots. Even the owners of the Ice Hotel know that staying in a building with walls of ice four feet thick can be a bit cold. They have a solution though. The Ice Hotel has a sauna for its guests. A sauna is a room filled with steam, where guests can warm themselves. In a way, then, one could say that the Ice Hotel does give their guests a warm welcome after all.
小題1:Why must the Ice Hotel be rebuilt each year ?
A．Because the hotel melts during the summer.
B．Because guests suggest changes to the hotel.
C．Because the hotel is damaged by the sauna.
D．Because more rooms are needed at the hotel.
小題2: From paragraph2 we can infer that ______.
A．the Ice Hotel has temperatures below freezing but is warm inside
B．guests of the Ice Hotel check in at the front lobby
C．the Ice Hotel is like other hotels except that it is made of ice
D．guests of the Ice Hotel may order food that is delivered to their rooms
小題3:What is the purpose of the writer writing the article?
A．To describe the temperature inside a hotel.
B．To give information about an uncommon hotel.
C．To compare different kinds of hotels.
D．To encourage people to visit hotels.

I still remember the last time when two of my children and I went to the playground. It had rained during the night and the playground was very muddy (泥濘的). They had just put on clean clothes, so I was a little worried about the pools of water on the playground. It was not long before Kathy got her beautiful skirt dirty on the playground. She dug through the rocks. I was about to blame her for getting her clothes dirty when she ran towards me with a smile on her face. When she got to me, she handed me a little heart-shaped rock and said, “Here Mom! Here is a heart for you－just because I love you! Keep it!” with tears in my eyes, I thanked her.
Should I blame her for getting her clothes muddy? No way! I still have that little heart-shaped rock. It is one of the best gifts that I have ever received. I realize that many times it is not necessary for us adults to worry about the small things our children do. Let them do what they’d like to.
I will spend a lot more time on the playground with my children. I’m sure I will learn a lot from the children. It reminds me of some years ago when my grandfather told me, “You would not enter the kingdom (王國) of happiness until you pretended (假裝) to be a small child.”
小題1:The writer was deeply moved by her daughter’s ____________.
A．digging task on the playground
B．love of the muddy playground
C．special way to show her love
D．smile on her face when running
小題2:From Paragraph 2, we can learn that the writer thought parents should _________.
A．a(chǎn)llow kids to do whatever they like
B．keep the presents given by children
C．not give too much care to their own children
D．not worry about the small things their children do
小題3:In the last paragraph, Grandpa’s words imply (暗示) that _____________.
A．children may find happiness easily in life
B．children care more about happiness than adults do
C．a(chǎn)dults cannot share children’s happiness
D．a(chǎn)dults should pretend to be a child
