阅读理解     I am a man who has been egoistic (自我为中心的) and I have had a lack of respect for myself and
others around me. I participated in(参加) various transformation workshops, however, it made no
difference. I remained stuck in my life. As a result, I became separated from my family and reached rock
bottom in my life. Having reached there, I resisted transforming myself.    
     After some time, I thought to myself, start believing in yourself and it will make a difference in your life.
I first started loving myself and then all those around me. I started respecting myself and then others
around me. My selfworth increased.    
     Sangeeta is my workmate. She"s transparent, honest and respectful. She"s very poor and has a large
family to support. In addition, her husband doesn"t hold a regular job. In short, she"s struggling in life.    
     On a cold winter morning, when she came to work, I found her shaking. I asked whether she had a
pullover (毛线套衫). She didn"t reply. I had my answer. The next day when she came to work again, I
gave her the money to buy a pullover for herself. The expression of thankfulness in her eyes was
something that will remain with me for a long time.    
     A few weeks ago, she was ill and didn"t come to work. Instead, she sent her friend to do her work.
The moment I realized Sangeeta was sick, I gave her friend the money to buy medicines for her
treatment. It took Sangeeta some time to recover from her illness. The first thing I cared about was
whether she needed any more help of any kind. And she said, "Sir, you"ve done enough for me. I"m
grateful to you."    
     That was the moment when I realized that I"m walking my path. Sometimes, I still fall down, but I get
up and start walking again even though I may have hurt myself in the process.1. According to the passage, attending transformation workshops ________. A. made the author closer to his family
B. changed the author"s attitude
C. had little effect on the author
D. helped the author get along well with others2. What did the author mean by saying "I had my answer" in Paragraph 4?A. He knew Sangeeta had no pullover.
B. He knew Sangeeta was too proud to admit her poverty.
C. He knew Sangeeta was in danger at that time.
D. He had the chance to change Sangeeta"s attitude towards him.3. When Sangeeta was ill, the author ________. A. gave her financial help              
B. helped Sangeeta do her work
C. bought her medicines for treatment                  
D. met with refusal when offering help 4. The passage is mainly about ________. A. an unforgettable experience
B. changes which happen to the author
C. a woman who changed the author"s life
D. the relationship between Sangeeta and the author

阅读理解。     One of my closest friends has a family tradition that I quite like, and I"ve been slowly trying to
implement(实施) in my own family. Basically, each year after Thanksgiving dinner, all of the people sit
around in the living room and each person takes a few minutes and talks about the thing they are most
thankful about over the last year. Everyone in the family takes the question seriously and answers it
honestly, giving thanks for what really matters and adds value to their life.    
     This is something I"ve actually thought about a lot in the last year, and I really came up with two things, one obvious and one not so much.    
     The first one, obviously, is the conception and birth and healthiness of my daughter. She"s a healthy,
happy twomonthold baby who smiles a lot and very much enjoys sitting on her dad"s lap. I am so thankful
for having this wonderful baby in my life, and thankful that she has the gift of good health.    
     The second one isn"t my financial turnaround (as some of you might have expected-that was what I
was most thankful for last year). Instead, I am thankful for the discovery of the value of writing in my life.
A year ago, The Simple Dollar was only a few weeks old and was far from popular yet-according to my
data, on Thanksgiving Day last year I had about 60 subscribers. The process of writing was bringing me
enjoyment. This past year showed me otherwise, and I am deeply thankful for it. After thinking about it
for a while, I began to realize that it is a very powerful and wonderfully positive exercise. You spend time
reflecting deeply on the positives in your life, and you often realize that even when things are bad, you do
have lots to be thankful for because there is a lot of good in your life, and it can shine a bright light even
in a dark spot in your life. I hope to repeat this each year on Thanksgiving, because it brought forth a
pretty strong joy in my life today.1. What does the family tradition mentioned in the first paragraph refer to?  A. Having Thanksgiving dinner together.  
B. Enjoying the warm family atmosphere together.  
C. Talking about the things they appreciate most.  
D. Talking about their attitude towards future life.2. The author is thankful for the fact that ________.   A. she has a happy and healthy baby  
B. her daughter likes playing with her dad  
C. her daughter makes her dull life full of fun  
D. her daughter is losing weight 3. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.   A. the author keeps doing exercise to strengthen her body  
B. the author once suffered financial difficulty  
C. the author will not go on writing until she discovers the value of writing  
D. writing has made the author known nationwide 4. According to the last paragraph, what does the author realize?   A. People should have low expectation.  
B. People should find a suitable career.  
C. People should reflect on their mistakes.  
D. People should hold a positive attitude.

     I was wondering when it would happen. As everyone who lives in London and other cities
around Britain will know, urban foxes are now commonplace. I recently saw one in the middle
of the day, wandering along a street in Pimlico. Twenty years ago, that sight would have stopped
the traffic. Now, it is barely worth a remark. Foxes are large animals, as big as many dogs. Of
course, as in the terrifying incident at Homerton, one would attack a baby sooner or later.
    Actually, this has already happened. In 2002, at Dartford in Kent, a fox bit a 14-week-old boy
in the living room of the family home while his mother was sleeping. The last government preferred
to ignore the incident; it was, after all trying to ban foxhunting at the time. It could see that some folk
love urban foxes, perhaps having the same affection for wildlife as the people I have seen in London
parks feeding rats along with squirrels and ducks.
    The foxites even include animal scientists, who would seem to have persuaded Bristol City
Council (whose advisory Living with Urban Foxes has been adopted by the Chartered Institute
of Environmental Health) that foxes never attack humans. But then they also deny that country foxes
target lambs, when every hill farmer I know would tell them differently. A lamb is much the same
size as a baby. It is no more difficult to get into a house than into a hen cage.
    According to Living with Urban Foxes, “the fox population is stable”, and has not significantly
increased. Is this true? When I first lived in London in the late 1970s, urban foxes had an almost
mythical status. They were like yetis. You never saw one; you weren’t sure they really existed.
Now, they are part of the scene. I wouldn’t be surprised to find one. Friends in the suburbs are
plagued(困扰)with them. A study in Bristol showed that an astonishing 8 percent of pets caged
in gardens are killed by foxes each year.
    Surely, if foxes are now harming babies, it is time for something to be done about them, yet this is
not as straightforward as it might seem. While country residents refer to foxes as harmful animals,
that is not how they are officially classified; this means that local authorities do not have a statutory
obligation(法定的义务)to control them. It would be an easy thing for this government to change
the legislation.
1.What is the author’s purpose in writing the passage?
A. To urge the government to control urban foxes.
B. To show how to provide food for urban foxes.
C. To protect urban foxes from traffic accidents.
D. To prove urban foxes are not dangerous as expected.
2.The underlined word “foxites” in Paragraph 3 probably refers to those who ______.
A. hate urban foxes
B. love urban foxes
C. support foxhunting
D. oppose foxhunting
3.What is the author’s attitude toward Living with Urban Foxes?
A. Support.
B. Praise.
C. Disbelief.
D. Tolerance.
4.What kind of people is the author worried about most?
A. Farmers.
B. Students.
C. Drivers.
D. Babies.
阅读理解。
     One day Edward brought a caterpillar ( a kind of worm) into the classroom he had found in an
ear of corn. We placed the caterpillar in a glass fish tank with a metal mesh(网状物)cover for
its protection. We couldn’t be sure what type of leaves the caterpillar would eat, but as it had been
found in an ear of corn we decided to feed it leaves from particular garden vegetables.
     Soon we began collecting information about the caterpillar and noticing changes. The children
wrote about what they saw in small groups. Three weeks into the caterpillar observation, the teacher
started a whole-group discussion going like this:
     Teacher: “What do you notice about the caterpillar?”
     Students: “It’s twice as big as when Edward brought it to the class.”
     The students also commented that the caterpillar’s color had changed- yellowish and brownish
colors clearly appeared.
     Teacher: “What do you think will happen next?”
     Students: “I think it’s gonna make a cocoon(茧).”
     Teacher: “Wait a minute! What do you mean? The caterpillar will become a cocoon?”
     There was a considerable pause allowing the children to organize their thoughts and make a
prediction. At this point we took an informal survey showing more than half the class believed the
caterpillar would make a cocoon.
     Then, to further our learning, we connected the research to literature by reading The Very Hungry
Caterpillar
by Eric Carle(1969). This book presents a fictional account of the “transformation”
undergoing by a caterpillar: egg- larva- pupa- butterfly. When reading the book, the teacher used the
terms kids already knew like larva or pupa. She also pointed out an error in the book, moths have
cocoons and butterflies have chrysalides(蝶蛹).
     Eventually, it developed a cocoon, which lay unnoticed for a week as the children had become
distracted by other activities and events in our school and classroom. One day, the class noticed an
open “case” with the contents gone. The children decided the caterpillar had “finished growing” and
had changed into a butterfly or a moth. They guessed the creature had managed to escape through
a tear in the mesh cover of the tank and found its way to a nearby park where there were many trees
and some gardens. All these conjectures seemed reasonable and were supported by the teacher.
1.The children gave the caterpillar vegetable leaves in the garden as food based on ______.
A. what it looked like
B. where it tended to make its way
C. where it had been found
D. what they had learned from watching it
2.Which is NOT one of the changes happening to the caterpillar while it was in the classroom?
A. Color.
B. Size.
C. Form.
D. Behavior.
3.The underlined word “conjectures” in the last paragraph could be replaced by ______.
A. experiments
B. guesses
C. statistics
D. elements
4.Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?
A. Firsthand Nature
B. Animal Protection
C. An Amazing Caterpillar
D. An interesting Experience

     The night was dark, though sometimes the moving clouds allowed a  star or two to be seen in the sky. The poor men held on to any bit of wood they could find. They called to the Marie (圣母玛丽亚) for
