题型：不详难度：来源：
Dear Sir,
I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport． Two buses travel along their route (路线): the number 49 and number 16． But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it． I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it．
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes． If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The regulations say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting． Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?
The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers  and 20 standing passengers． Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport． I counted the other passengers as they got off． There were 129 of them．
It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers． Can nothing be done to make your service  better?
Yours

Mrs Amatuli was my teacher in the fourth grade. One day at lunch time, Mrs Amatuli asked me if she could  36 my sandwiches. She explained that I could use the money to buy a   37 lunch from the cafeteria（自助餐厅）. I was   38. I never bought my lunch at the cafeteria. It was  39  expensive for my family, and I always carried my lunch and brought the bag back home to   40 again the next day.
You can understand my   41  when I had the opportunity to buy a hot lunch. Kids always  42 about the cafeteria food but I was very  43 of them.
When we  44 lunch that day, Mrs Amatuli took me aside and said she wanted to   45 why she had bought my sandwiches. I really didn’t care why,   46 it gave me a few minutes of her precious  47  so I was very quiet as she explained.
You  48 , she was a Catholic(天主教徒) and she told me that Catholics didn’t eat red meat on Fridays—they ate  49 on Fridays.
Oh, I couldn’t   50 to get home and tell my Mom that from then on I wanted fish on Fridays.  51 my Mom understood why, she gladly fixed fish for me on Fridays. From then on, every Friday I could get in  52 with the rest of the kids for a hot lunch. I didn’t care how many of the kids complained about the cafeteria food—it  53 great to me!
I realize now that Mrs Amatuli   54  have fixed herself a fish sandwich on Fridays. She bought my sandwiches because she saw a little girl who was pleased over the simple
   55 of having a hot lunch.

If you look up the word “create” in the dictionary , you will find it means “to bring into being, to cause something each of us does daily to exist”．
We are creative whenever we look at or think about something in a new way. First, this includes an awareness of our surroundings．It means using all of our senses to become aware of our world．This may be as simple as being aware of color and texture（质地）, as well as taste, when we plan a meal．Above all, it is the ability to notice things that others might miss．
A second part of creativity is an ability to see relationships among things．There is nothing new under the sun. The creativity is remaking or recombining（***） the old in new ways. For example, we might do this by finding a more effective way to study or a better way to arrange our furniture, or we might make a new combination of camera lenses and filters to create an unusual photograph．
A third part of creativity is the courage and drive to make use of our new ideas, to ask for them to achieve some new results．To think up a new idea is one thing; to put the idea to work is another．
These three parts of creativity are included in all the great works of geniuses, but they are also included in many of our day-to-day activities．(257 words)

A．To prepare for a meal．

A．a new thing can only be created at the basis of earlier things

What was more   49  , however, was the story behind it. During the ride, the driver told me that when he saw me walking, it made him think of his   50  who used to walk to work by the

I’m lying on my back in my grandfather’s orchard（果园）,looking up at the branches above me. It is one of the last days of summer. Already the days are shorter and the nights are cooler. Some kinds of apples are already ripe（成熟的）. Others will be ready to pick soon. I think of my grandmother’s apple pie(苹果馅饼), and how I used to make it with her. She died last year, before the apple harvest, and I have not had her pie since. I really miss her. I hear bees busily humming about, visiting the late summer flowers. The gentle hum of their wings nearly sends me to sleep.
The sky is as blue as my grandfather’s eyes. Above me, big white clouds race across the sky like pieces of cotton blowing in the wind. School starts in another week, and time seems to have slowed down.
“Sophie!” calls my grandfather. “Is that you?” I stand up, take his hand, and tell him all about my day as we walk through the orchard. We talk about apples, and bees, and Grandma. He tells me that he misses her too.
He puts his rough, brown farmer’s hand around my shoulder and pulls me close. “You know, Sophie,” he says, “ I spent the morning in the attic（阁楼）, and you’ll never guess what I found. It’s the recipe（烹饪法）for Grandma’s apple pie. I used to help her make it sometimes. I can’t do it all alone, but you used to help her too. Maybe between the two of us, we can work it out. Want to try?”
“ But it won’t be the same without Grandma,” I tell him.
“ That’s true,” he says, “ but nothing is the same without Grandma. Still, I don’t think that she would want us never to have another apple pie. What do you say?” I nod yes, and we walk towards home… towards an afternoon in the farmhouse kitchen, making Grandma’s famous apple pie.
小题1: We learn from the passage that Sophie       .
A．likes to watch clouds in the atticB．comes to the orchard after school
C．enjoys Grandma’s apple pie very muchD．picks many apples in the orchard
小题2:Both Sophie and her grandfather used to        .
A．help Grandma make apple piesB．spend summer afternoons in the orchard
C．enjoy fresh fruit in the farmhouse kitchenD．walk alone among the apple trees
小题3:The underlined part in the last paragraph shows          .
A．how much Sophie’s grandmother loved Sophie
B．how much Sophie’s grandfather likes apple pies
C．how much Sophie loves her grandfather’s orchard
D．how much Sophie’s grandfather misses Grandma
小题4: Which of the following might be the best title for the passage?.
A．My grandfather’s orchardB．My grandmother’s apple pie
C．A morning in the atticD．The last days of summer
