When I was in the eighth grade, I had a friend. We were shy and “too serious” about our studies when it was becoming fashionable with our classmates to learn acceptable social behaviors. We said little at school, but she would come to my house and we would sit down with pencils and paper, and one of us would say:“Let’s start with a train whistle today.” We would sit quietly together and write separate poems or stories that grew out of a train whistle. Then we would read them aloud. At the end of that school year, we, too, were changing into social creatures and the stories and poems stopped.
When I lived for a time in London, I had a friend, He was in despair(失望)and I was in despair. But our friendship was based on the idea in each of us that we would be sorry later if we did not explore this great city because we had felt bad at the time. We met every Sunday for five weeks and found many excellent things. We walked until our despairs disappeared and then we parted. We gave London to each other.
For almost four years I have had remarkable friend whose imagination illuminates mine. We write long letters in which we often discover our strangest selves. Each of us appears, sometimes in a funny way, in the other’s dreams. She and I agree that, at certain times, we seem to be parts of the same mind. In my most interesting moments, I often think: “Yes, I must tell….”We have never met.
It is such comforting companions I wish to keep. One bright hour with their kind is worth more to me than the lifetime services of a psychologist（心理学家），who will only fill up the healing（愈合的）silence necessary to those darkest moments in which I would rather be my own best friend.

Robinson has decided to donate 843 acres of his own personal wilderness to the Department of Natural Resources after his death, which can then be used to create a new state park. His generous donation is the same size as New York City’s Central Park. It is said that it’s the largest land donation to happen in the last 25 years.
How did he come up with this idea? For Robinson, the idea of donation came from his respect for the land and the environment. He doesn’t have children to pass it onto. He hoped that someone would make full use of it, or the land would probably turn into wasteland. A green park filled with trees can at least help deal with global warming, in addition to producing fresh air.
Robinson has lived here in a small wooden house since 1964．One room holds his bed, a few chairs and a desk. He said he didn’t care how much his donation was worth. Tom Pounders who used to work for Robinson said, "He doesn’t think material objects are important.” He also recalled that Robinson once repaired a broken tennis shoe with a spare tire.
Robinson has just one request for the new park that will be established after his death. He’d like it to be named the Don Robinson State Park. "There’s a lot of Robinsons, but only one me. It would be nice if people remembered to use my full name when walking through the park," he said.
小题1:In paragraph 2, the underlined word “wilderness” refers to _______.
| A．wild animals | B．wild land | C．wild plants | D．wild wounds |
| A．a green park | B．a big wooden house |
| C．843 acres of land | D．all his money |
| A．Don Robinson paid much attention to how much his donation was worth. |
| B．New York City’sCentral Park was built with Don Robinson’s help. |
| C．Don Robinson had many children and lived with them. |
| D．The idea of donation came from Robinson’s respect for the land and the environment. |
| A．rich, generous and simple | B．rich, mean and lonely  |
| C．simple, lonely and cruel | D．rich, simple and mean |

Oliver Twist, one of the most famous works of Charles Dickens, is a novel reflecting the tragic fact of the life in Britain in the 19th century.
The author who himself was born in a poor family wrote this novel in his twenties with a view to reveal the ugly masks of those cruel criminals and to 36 the horror and violence hidden underneath the narrow and dirty streets in London.
The hero of this novel was Oliver Twist, an orphan, who was thrown into a world full of 37
and crime. He suffered enormous pain, 38 hunger, thirst, beating and abuse. While reading the tragic experiences of little Oliver, I was shocked by his sufferings. I 39 the poor boy, but at the same time I detested the evil Fagin and the brutal Bill. To my relief, as was written in all the best stories, the goodness eventually conquered 40 and Oliver lived a happy life in the end. One of the plots that attracted me 41 is that after the theft, little Oliver was allowed to recover in the kind care of Mrs Maylie and Rose and 42 a new life.
How can such a little boy who had already suffered oppressive pain 43 pure in body and mind? The reason is the nature of goodness. I think it is the most important information 44 in the novel by Dickens --- he believed that goodness could conquer 45 difficulty.
Goodness is to human what water is to fish. He who is without goodness is an utterly 46 person. On the contrary, as the famous saying goes, “ The fragrance always stays in the hand that gives the rose.” He who is with goodness undoubtedly is a happy and useful person. People receiving his help are grateful to him and he also gets gratified from what he has done, and thus he can do 47 to both the people he has helped and himself.
36. A. open B. exploit C. expose D. cover
37. A. honor B. poverty C. glory D. imagination
38. A. such like B. for example C. such as D. for instance
39. A. looked down upon B. made an apology for
C. played a joke on D. felt sorry for
40. A. relationship B. kindness C. carelessness D. devil
41. A. mainly B. most C. mostly D. best
42. A. began B. launched C. set D. changed
43. A. bear B. remain C. hold D. maintain
44. A. contained B. implied C. imported D. added
45. A. every B. some C. little D. much
46. A. gracious B. worthless C. modest D. earnest
47. A. harm B. damage C. good D. justice
He always rose early to enjoy at least two hours of staying alone in the house before the 48 of the family came down. In winter he spent most of the time reading. In summer he liked to get out of doors to work in the garden or to take the dog 49 a walk in the neighboring woods and fields. 50 the weather was like, there was plenty for him to do. He wrote book reviews regularly for two of the national weeklies. He worked hard 51 his special subject, Indian history, and was thus one of the world experts on it; he collected modern abstract paintings and so had a circle of friends among artists; there was hardly anything he did not know about traditional jazz and he often entertained 52 Britain and American jazz musicians. He was a good 53 and knew a lot about French and German food. His family admired him and in a sense he was spoiled by them. At first glance you would have 54 him for a retired army officer--- his hair was cut short, he was very particular about his clothes, 55 were always clean and neat . He hardly watched TV, but enjoyed a good film and an occasional evening at the theater.
