We all know that some things are obviously right. For example, it is right to be 1 to other people. It is also right to look after the environment. Some things are 2 wrong, too. For instance, we should not hurt or bully(欺负) others, nor should we litter. Rules often tell us what is right or wrong.
Rules can help the public make the right 3 ,and remain safe. Car drivers have to obey traffic regulations that tell them the right things to do on the road to avoid crashes. Cyclists who give signals before turning or stopping help prevent 4 .
If people follow rules without taking other matters into consideration, it will be 5 for them to form what is sometimes called a “black and white” view. For example, they may believe that people should always tell the truth, and that lying is 6 acceptable. Such people always stick to their views, even if it means that they may get into 7 .
Sometimes it may not be so easy to know 8 what is right or wrong. Some people choose not to eat meat because they believe that it is 9 to eat animals, but others argue that they can eat meat and 10 be kind to animals; some insist that stealing is always wrong, but others think that one does not need to feel to 11 when stealing some food to eat, if lives in a really poor area and he is 12 . Rules help us live together in harmony, because they show us the right way to 13 other. However, some people argue that rules may be 14 , having observed that rules change all the time , and that some schools have some regulations and other have different ones ----so who is to 15 what is right ?

解析
本文是一篇说明文，说明规章有助于人们辨别是非，作出正确选择，也有助于人与人的和睦相处，但有时判断是非也不容易。
其中考查形容词5个，考查副词4个，考查动词3个，考查名词3个。
小题1:考查形容词 与下文hurt or bully（欺负） others 意义相对的应是be kind to others，属于反义重现。
小题2:考查副词 根据too, 可以知道此题是同义重现。obviously的同义词为clearly。
小题3:考查名词 由常识和理解下句意思 “…tell them the right things to do on the road”可知，规章是告诉人们对该如何做作出正确“选择”。
小题4:考查名词 上下义重现，上义词为accidents下义词为crash。
小题5:考查形容词 由逻辑推断可知，如果人们遵守规章而不用考虑其他事情，他们就很“容易”形成是“黑白”观。
小题6:考查副词 因tell the truth与lying相对，而与always相对的应是never。此外，此题也可以根据分析比较三个选项seldom, rarely, merely都有一个相同点都是表示很少，选择任何一个都不恰当。
小题7:考查名词搭配 ，根据分析比较四个选项，其他三个选项都不恰当。 “get into power上台”，“get into prison坐牢”，“get into control控制”。
小题8:考查副词 根据此句的意思“有时很难严格地区分正确与错误”不难得出答案。
小题9:考查形容词 根据常识，不能得出答案。另外也由but可知，应选与下文中kind相对的cruel。属于反义重现。
小题10:考查副词 根据此句的意思“他们认为可以吃肉，但对动物依然是友好的”不难得出答案。
小题11:考查形容词 根据常识，偷东西应有“犯罪感”，即感到犯了罪（guilty）。
小题12:考查动词分词 根据常识，poor（贫穷）是有会starving（挨饿）的。
小题13:考查动词 根据此句的意思“规章制度有助于我们和睦相处，因为规章制度告诉我们对待他人的正确方式”不难得出答案。
小题14:考查形容词 根据同义重现，由最后一句“rules change all the time, and that some schools have some regulations and others have different ones…”可知，规章制度也可能是“令人困惑的”。
小题15:考查动词 根据此句的意思既然不同学校的规章不同，该由谁来“评定”什么是正确的呢？ |

In Europe, many people make friends between their countries through town twinning. Town or city twinning means two towns in different countries agree and decide to become “twins” with a sister-city relationship.
The people find pen friends in the twin town. They exchange newspapers and stamps. The school teachers discuss teaching methods with the teachers in the twin town. Officials visit the twin town for celebrations. Ordinary people travel to the twin town, too, but not very often if it is far away.
Sometimes, schools even exchange their classes for two or three weeks! For example, German middle school students study for a while at the school in their twin town in Britain, staying with British families. A few months later, their British friends come to study in Germany.
Many British towns are so pleased with the results of the twinning that they set out to find more than one twin town!
Tonbridge, a small town in Kent, for example, has twin towns in both Germany and France. Richmond near London has relationships with Germany, France and even a town in a Balkan(巴尔干半岛的) country!
Town twinning can help make friends. It helps students improve their language skill, and also helps people to understand the differences between nations.

Until the 1980s, the American homeless population comprised (组成) mainly older males. Today, homelessness strikes much younger part of society. In fact, a 25-city survey by the U. S. Conference of Mayors in 1987 found that families with children make up the fastest growing part of the homeless population. Many homeless children gather in inner cities; this transient(变化无常的) and frequently frightened student population creates additional problems — both legal and educational — for already overburdened（负担过重的）urban school administrators and teachers.
Estimates of the number of homeless Americans range from 350,000 to three million. Likewise, estimates of the number of homeless school children vary radically. A U.S. Department of Education report, based on state estimates, states that there are 220,000 homeless school-age children, about a third of whom do not attend school on a regular basis, But the National Coalition for the Homeless estimates that there are at least two times as many homeless children, and that less than half of them attend school regularly.
One part of the homeless population that is particularly difficult to count consists of the “throwaway” youths who have been cast of their homes. The Elementary School Center in New York City estimates that there are 1.5 million of them, many of whom are not counted as children because they do not stay in family shelters and tend to live by themselves on the streets.
Federal law, the Stewart B. McKinney Homeless Assistance Act of 1987, includes a section that addresses the educational needs of homeless children. The educational provisions of the McKinney Act are based on the belief that all homeless children have the right to a free, appropriate education.
小题1: It is implied in the first paragraph that ____.| A．the writer himself is homeless, even in his eighties | | B．many older homeless residents are going on strike in 25 cities | | C．there is a serious shortage of academic facilities (设施). | | D．homeless children are denied the opportunity of receiving free education |
小题2: The National Coalition for the homeless believes that the number of homeless children is _____.| A．350,000 | | B．1,500,000 | | C．440,000 | | D．110,000 |
小题3: One part of the homeless population is difficult to estimate. The reason might well be ____.| A．the homeless children are too young to be counted as children | | B．the homeless population is growing rapidly | | C．the homeless children usually stay outside school | | D．some homeless children are deserted by their families |
小题4: The McKinney Act is mentioned in this passage in order to show that ___.| A．the educational problems of homeless children are being recognized | | B．the estimates on homeless children are hard to determine | | C．the address of grade-school children should be located | | D．all homeless people are entitled（有权利的） to free education |
小题5: The passage mainly deals with ____.| A．the legal problems of the homeless children | | B．the educational problems of homeless children | | C．the social status of older males | | D．estimates on the homeless population |

The day was Thankful Thursday, our “ regular day” of service. It’s a __36__tradition that my two little girls and I began years ago. On this __37__ Thursday, we had no idea exactly what we were going to do.
__38__ along a busy road, we prayed for guidance in search of __39__our weekly Act of Kindness. My girls were__40__, and started shouting “ McDonald’s” . Suddenly I realized that almost every crossing I__41__ was occupied by a beggar, and then it hit me! All these beggars must be hungry. Perfect! We were going to buy__42__for them.
It was a great way to__43__. The Act of Kindness was anonymous(匿名的)，and we loved what we saw in the back view mirror: a__44__and delighted person holding up his lunch bag and just looking at us__45__we drove off.
We had come to the end of our “ route” where there was a small woman standing there, asking for__46__. We handed her our final lunch bag, and then made a U-turn to head back in the opposite direction for home. Unfortunately, the light stopped us. I was __47__and didn’t know quite how to behave.
“No one has ever done anything like this for me before,” the woman said with__48__. I replied, “Well, I’m glad that we were the first one.”__49__ uneasy , and wanting to move the conversation along, I asked, “So, when do you think you’ll eat your lunch?”
“Oh honey, I’m not going to__50__this lunch.” I was confused , and she continued , “I have a little girl of my own at home and she just __51__ McDonald’s , but I can never buy it for her because I just don’t have the __52__ . You know what… tonight she is going to have McDonald’s !”
So many times I had__53__whether our Acts of Kindness were too small or insignificant to really__54__any difference . Yet in that moment, I recognized the__55__of Mother Teresa’s words, “We cannot do great things---only small things with great love.”
