From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him. I remember when I was a child my father always got up very early, quietly putting on his clothes and going off to work. To arrive in time to open his tiny store at 8:30, he needed to leave our apartment at 6:30. After all, he had to take a bus and then the subway. The last journey was a long walk through a neighborhood much of which was full of the smell of rubbish. I learned: it is very important to work. No excuse.
When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display, for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked, but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.
After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one—he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(債務). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.

試題分析：這篇短文講述的是作者從自己的父親身上學到了很多東西，他對父親非常的感激。作者在文中舉了三個例子告訴我們他從父親身上學到了什么。
小題1:推理判斷題。根據(jù)短文第二段中When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display,可知，在作者12歲的時候，星期六的時候他會去爸爸的店里幫忙，他幫著照看外面展示的衣服。由此我們推斷出，作者的父親是擁有一個服裝店。故選C。
小題2:推理判斷題。根據(jù)From my father I have learned a lot. And I’m very thankful to him可知B是正確的；根據(jù)After 10 years of hard work,可知C是對的；根據(jù)he saved up enough money to buy his first car,可知D是正確的；根據(jù)The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.可知，作者只追過一次小偷，他的爸爸告訴他，沒有必要那樣做，安全比錢更重要，因此以后作者不會再去追小偷了。故A是錯誤的。
小題3:推理判斷題。這篇短文作者說他從爸爸身上學到了很多東西，這里第一段中提到了工作很重要；第二段中提到了安全比錢更重要；第三段中提到了買你能負擔得起的東西。沒有提到的是B選項，保持健康的方法。故選B。
小題4:細節(jié)理解題。根據(jù)短文最后一段中I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(債務).可知，作者從父親身上學到了：只去買你能負擔得起的東西，如買必要的食物和衣服，這并不會使我們負債。因此我們可知，買一些不必要的東西有可能會使我們負債。故選C。
小題5:主旨大意題。這篇短文的開頭第一段作者就告訴我們，他從父親身上學到了很多東西，因此他對父親非常的感激。下面作者分別舉了三個例子告訴我們他從父親身上學到了什么。故D選項：作者從父親身上所學到的東西這個概括最符合文意。故選D。

Forests have always been useful and important to men who make use of them in many ways. Every day trees are serving man everywhere. Trees supply man with fruits and building materials in the form of wood. Without trees it would be impossible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on. Furniture such as desks, chairs and beds is made of wood. Trees can stop man from the terrible heat. They’re also useful in preventing(阻止) good and rich top soil from being washed away during heavy rains. If there were no forests, heavy rains would wash away the rich surface(表層) soil that is so important to plants. The result is that the land will become a desert. There are plenty of desert areas in the world. A long time ago these desert areas used to be very rich areas, but men in the past had no enough knowledge about science of nature, and they cut down too many trees in the area where they lived and never planted new ones. By and by, the rich surface soil was blown and washed away by strong winds and heavy rains. In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.
根據(jù)短文內(nèi)容，判斷正（T）誤（F）。
1.Trees are not serving man everywhere.
2.Without trees it would be possible to build houses, boats, bridges and so on.
3.Trees can stop man from the terrible heat.
4.There are few desert areas in the world.
5.In the end the rich land changed into useless deserts where nothing could grow.

Germs(細菌) are everywhere. You can’t see them, but they are on your desk, on your computer, and even in the air!
Like people, germs move around the world. They fly with us on planes. When food, clothes, and other things travel around the world, germs travel, too. Some germs are safe, but some are dangerous. Germs cause illnesses like colds and the flu.
Warmer Weather Brings Germs
The world’s weather is changing. Cooler countries are getting warmer, so insects from hot countries can move there. Some of these insects, like mosquitoes, carry dangerous germs. These germs cause headaches, fever, and can even kill people.

Fighting Germs
Your immune system(免疫系統(tǒng)) protects you, too. When germs get inside your body, your immune system finds and kills them. Special cells(細胞) move around your body and fight germs. They help you stay healthy. Other cells make antibodies. Antibodies help your body find and stop germs.

It was a cold afternoon in winter. My oldest son, Stephen, was at school, and Reed, my husband, at work. My         little ones were sitting around the kitchen table. Tom was perfecting a paper plane, while Sam was         on an oil painting.
But Laura, our only daughter, sat quietly and was         in her project. Every once in a while she would ask how to         the name of someone in our family, then carefully form the letters one by one. Next, she would add flowers with small items. She finished off each with a sun in the upper right hand corner. Holding them at eye level, she let out a long sigh (嘆息) of       .
“What are you doing, Honey?” I asked. She looked quickly at her brother before looking back at me. “It’s a         .” she said, covering up her work with her hands.
Next, she put her work into a box. When she had finished, she disappeared up the stairs.
It wasn’t until later that evening that I           a “mailbox” taped onto the doors to each of our bedrooms. There were little notes saying that she loved all of us. She hadn’t         Sam or baby Paul. They are pages of colored scenes including flowers with happy faces. “He can’t read yet,” she whispered (低聲說), “        he can look at the pictures.” Each time I received one of my little girl’s gifts, it         my heart. I was touched at how carefully she paid attention to what wrong happened to us. When Stephen lost a baseball game, there was a letter telling him she thought he was the best ballplayer in the whole world. After I had a         day, there was a message thanking me for my efforts.
This same little girl is grown now, driving off every day to the state college, but some things about her have       changed. Yesterday I found a love note next to my bedside. “Thanks for always being there for me, Mom,” it read, “I’m glad that we’re the best friends.”
There are angels among us. I know I live with one.

On the way back from work every evening, more often than not there would be a homeless man standing at the exit of the freeway (快車道). He looked to be in his late 40s but was probably a lot younger. He had shoulder length straight black hair and a short beard.
Every day after work I would remember to gather any spare change, and put it aside to give to him if I saw him. A feeling of joy would come over me every time I saw him, while coming off the ramp (坡道). So did he. Sometimes the red light would be on for a minute and we would ask each other about our day. His answer would always be the same, “I’m blessed!”
Then one day I was called into my boss’s office and was told that I was being laid off. For the rest of that day all I could think of was “how am I going to provide for my kids as a mother, how am I going to pay rent?”
Needless to say that on my way home that day I was very sad and upset. I didn’t remember to look for my spare change and keep it ready like I usually did. Yet there he was as always, as I turned the ramp. He set his eyes on me, while still smiling and waving at others as usual.
While I was waiting for the red light to turn, he strolled (閑逛) over to my car. He had a big smile. He looked at me straight in the eyes and said, “Today I will give you a dollar.” He then reached into his pocket and pulled out a dollar bill.
You see that day he taught me a valuable lesson more than a dollar bill. No matter what material things are taken from you, no one can take away your choice to be joyful. Every time I’m faced with challenges, I think of the homeless man’s valuable lesson and remember that I am blessed.
小題1: The writer would have a short conversation with the homeless man when                .
A．she waited for the red light to turn
B．she gave spare change to him
C．she had a good time that day
D．she wanted to know how he lived
小題2: Why did the writer feel sad and upset after out of the boss’s office?
A．Because she was criticized by the boss.
B．Because a new job was offered to her.
C．Because she was laid off by the boss.
D．Because there was something wrong with her job.
小題3: What is NOT true about the homeless man from the passage?
A．He would be seen at the exit of the freeway.
B．He usually smiled and waved at others.
C．He had a deep impression on the writer.
D．He felt joyful only when money was offered to him.
小題4:The homeless man gave the writer a dollar because                     .
A．he had collected a lot of money
B．he wanted to pay back her
C．he knew what she experienced
D．he wanted her to be happy
小題5: The writer learned from the story that                        .
A．a(chǎn) dollar bill will be enough to make you happy
B．each of us has been blessed all the time
C．whenever it is, we should choose to help others
D．it is more than money that brings us happiness

It is a cold and dry winter morning. When you wake up, you feel that your throat hurts. You begin to sneeze and later you may cough. You must have a cold! Wait a moment. Could it just be a common cold or the flu (流感) that’s been going around?
A cold gives you a runny nose and cough. But it’s usually easy to deal with. Some take medicine while others drink herbal tea or chicken soup. Usually you feel better after a week.
On the other hand, the flu can be much more dangerous. It usually gives you fever. Sometimes it can cause death. According to an American magazine, the worst flu killed about 50 million people from 1918 to 1919.
Don’t worry. If you get a flu vaccine (疫苗), it can stop you from getting the virus (病毒). Flu vaccines work by giving the body a small amount of flu viruses. This causes your body to develop antibodies (抗體). So next time you get the flu, the antibodies should help you.
The flu virus changes every few years. Therefore, there are so many types of flu, such as H1N1 and H5N1. The antibodies for one type of flu can’t help us against all types of flu. That’s why we need to get the vaccine every year.
However, good health habits may also help stop you developing a cold or flu. Washing your hands often helps stop you from getting viruses. It is also important to get regular exercise and eat healthy food. All these can help you strengthen your immune system (增強免疫系統(tǒng)).
小題1:If you have a common cold, usually you’ll feel better after ________.
A．a(chǎn) weekB．two weeks
C．ten daysD．twenty days
小題2:According to the passage, which is TRUE of the flu?
A．It first happened in 1919.
B．It usually doesn’t give you fever.
C．It is easy to deal with.
D．It can kill people sometimes.
小題3:If you get a flu vaccine, ________.
A．it can’t stop you from getting the flu virus
B．it won’t cause your body to develop antibodies
C．your body will develop antibodies
D．your body will get a large amount of flu viruses
小題4:We need to get a flu vaccine every year because ________.
A．we probably have a cold in winter
B．the flu virus changes every few years
C．the flu is very dangerous
D．you don’t need to take any medicine after that

Now some women are spending a weekend at Mother’s Camp（營地）. There, husbands and children are not allowed. Why would a woman want to take a vacation without her family? Some women say they need time to be alone.
At Mother’s Camp a woman has room to herself. She can sleep, read or watch TV, and no one will bother her. No children will ask,“Mom, what’s for dinner?” No husband will say, “Oh, dear, I can’t find any clean socks.”In fact almost 50% of women in the United States work outside the home. Many of them work full-time and then come home to a second job-taking care of their homes and families. These working women say one of their biggest problems is housework.

Some women go to Mother’s Camp just to get a break from housework. For two days they don’t cook, they don’t clean, they don’t look after their children and husbands. What do they do?
