解析
小题1:B尽管周围环境恶劣，但是我还是充满了希望。hope与第一句话中dream一致。
小题2:A句意为：“生活在那里的靠土地谋生的家庭遭受了巨大的损失。”
小题3:D句意为：“我为那些贫穷的孩子们感到尤其难过，但是我拒绝表现得无助。”这表明作者想做出一些事情来帮助那些穷人。
小题4:C见上题分析。refuse to do sth.拒绝做某事。
小题5:A在肯定句中表示“一些事情”用something。
小题6:C我对每一个应我敲门的人说道。answer one’s door/telephone应门/接电话。
小题7:B该句话的意思是“我知道你很仁慈，并且会给来到你院子里的小鸟一些米。”
小题8:D见上题分析。
小题9:C句意为：“当我每周来到你门前的时候，请把我当成你的小鸟。”意思是让别人施舍给他一些吃的东西。
小题10:B对应前文，作者是把施舍来的东西送给那些饥饿的孩子。
小题11:A没有人介意作者的请求，言外之意是每一个人给予了作者一定的食物，即使这些家庭本身拥有的食物也不多。这体现人们的仁慈之心。
小题12:D见上题的分析，when引导时间状语从句。
小题13:C后文的monks暗示答案为temple.
小题14:C作者先把食物给和尚，然后由和尚分发给孩子。give away分发。
小题15:A由后文gave me fifty cents, as well as the handful of rice可知。
小题16:B每一个孩子都给了作者东西。every是形容词，不能做主语，each可以充当主语。
小题17:D change“零钱”与前文的fifty cents一致。
小题18:D in this way用这种方法。
小题19:B作者孩童般的、稚气的想法不能够阻止战争，但是它至少能在一定程度上减少战争带来的灾难，并且创造出一种和平。
小题20:A create创造。参考上题的分析。 |

Here in the hills were buffaloes (野牛). I had even, in my very young days — when I could not live till I had killed one of each kind of African animal — shot a bull out there. Later on, when I was not so interested to shoot as to watch the wild animals, I had been out to see them again. But twice I had to go back without success.
But one afternoon as I was having tea with some friends outside the house, Denys came flying from Nairobi and went over our heads westwards; a little while after he turned and came back and landed on the farm. I drove down to the plane to bring him back, but he would not get out of his plane.
“The buffaloes are out feeding in the hills,” he said, “come out and have a look at them.”
“I cannot come,” I said. “I have got a tea-party up at the house.”
“But we will go and see them and be back in a quarter of an hour,” he said.
This sounded to me like the suggestions which people make to you in a dream. So I went up with him. It did not take us long to see the buffaloes from the air; we counted them as they peacefully mixed and separated on the open ground closed in by bushes. There was one very old big black bull, and a number of young ones; if a stranger had come near to them they would have heard or smelt him at once, but they were not prepared for something from the air. They heard the noise of our machine and stopped feeding, but they did not seem to be able to look up. In the end they realized that something very strange was about; the old bull first walked out in front of the others. Suddenly he began to go down the valley side and after a moment he broke into a run. The whole group now followed him, rushing hurriedly down into the buses. In a small wood of low trees they stopped and kept close together. Here they believed themselves to be out of sight. We flew up and away. It was like having been taken there by a secret unknown route.
When I came back to my tea-party the teapot on the stone was still so hot that I burned my fingers on it.
小题1:The writer drove to the plane ________.| A．to pick Denys up and take him back to the tea-party | | B．to have a talk with Denys | | C．to do some repairs for Denys | | D．because they wanted to go up in the plane |
小题2: Denys said it would only take a quarter of an hour to go and see the buffaloes ________.| A．but it took much longer than that | B．and he was right | | C．if they went by a secret route | D．but it wasn’t a serious suggestion |
小题3:When the buffaloes heard the noise of the plane, they ________.| A．looked up at it | B．ran away immediately | | C．continued feeding | D．were uncertain what to do |

I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters(学问). Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.
Years later, during her final illness, Mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk”, she said again, “is for Elizabeth.” I never saw her anger, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was too emotional. But she lived “on the surface”.
As years passed, I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原谅）me. I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came. My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written in, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside－a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded and refolded many times. Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you chose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
小题1:The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______. | A．after Mother died. | B．before she became a writer. | | C．when she was a child. | D．when Mother gave it to her. |
小题2:The passage shows that _____. | A．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter. | | B．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done. | | C．Mother cared much about her daughter in words. | | D．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words. |
小题3:The word gulf in the paragraph 2 means ______. | A．deep understanding between the old and the young. | | B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter. | | C．free talks between mother and daughter. | | D．part of the sea going far in land. |
小题4:What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness? | A．She had never received the letter. | | B．For years, she often talked about the letter. | | C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life. | | D．She read the letter again and again till she died. |
小题5:What’s the best title of the passage? | A．My Letter to Mother. | B．Mother and Children. | | C．My Mother’s Desk. | D．Talks between Mother and Me. |

How to improve our life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They’ll say, "This is my destiny(命运).I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don’t have to suffer needlessly. Your life depends on you, not on any other external(外部的)factor.
I know a woman who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, and then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that has been intended for her and that her luck can only change if God wills it. She hasn’t realized that we have to do our share of making the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you harvest what you sow. You have to get off the sofa, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone(unless it contributes to your success),and get your mind and body to work! Don’t expect your luck to change, unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don’t just regard it as a temporary setback; instead, learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It’s not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone’s life is in trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don’t just stand(or sit)there, do something to improve your life.
小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para. 3, her life_________________.| A．doesn’t need improving | B．couldn’t be improved | | C．will be better some day | D．will be worse in the future |
小题2: What does the author think of the woman’s life?| A．Positive | B．Passive | C．Colorful | D．Disturbing |
小题3:Which of the following statements is the author’s opinion?| A．Your temporary problem is not discouraging. | | B．Your luck can be changed by your own efforts. | | C．You can only achieve success when God wills it. | | D．You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends. |
小题4:In Para. 5, the author emphasized the importance of _______________.| A．positive thinking | B．positive action | | C．hope for the best | D．intention to succeed |
小题5: The text is mainly written to advise you to _________________. | A．understand yourself | B．improve your life | | C．believe in yourself | D．change your normal way |

Yesterday was my stepmom’s birthday. I hadn’t been home for a long time so I wanted to stop by the house to see her on this special day.
I have been struggling financially so I was afraid of the long trip. Gas is so expensive nowadays! Anyway, I filled my tank with gas and set off.
I stopped at the shopping mall and found a present. It was the perfect gift and I knew she
would love it. But when I got to the cashier my card was declined! I did not have enough money in my account to pay for the gift!
So I pondered the issue for a few minutes. I could put it back and get something cheaper, but I knew there was nothing else in the store she would like as much. So, I got on my smart-phone and transferred some money from my savings account so I was able to pay for the gift. It took a big chunk of my savings but I wanted her to have something special.
She loved the gift and I felt that even though I had spent almost all my money my stepmom deserved the best and I was glad I gave her the best that I could.
Before leaving my parents’ house, my dad took me to one side and, with our secret hand-shake, he gave me some money. I had not said anything to him about my finances but I guess my dad had just known it. When I got to the car, I saw the amount he gave me was three times what I had spent on the gas and the gift!
It goes to show that doing the right thing always comes with great rewards.
小题1:Why was the writer unwilling to have a long trip？| A．Because gas was hardly available. | B．Because the writer was short of money. | | C．Because the writer didn’t like driving. | D．Because the road was difficult to drive on. |
小题2:The underlined word “pondered” in Para. 4 means ________.| A．thought about | B．tried on | | C．depended on | D．got through |
小题3:From the passage, we can infer that ________.| A．the writer loves his/her stepmom very much | | B．the gift the writer bought was loved by his/her father very much | | C．the writer spent all his/her savings buying the gift for his/her stepmom | | D．the gift the writer bought was the most expensive one in the shop |
小题4:Why did the writer’s father shake hands with the writer in secret?| A．Because he wanted to ask the writer for something special. | | B．Because he wanted to give the writer some money. | | C．Because he knew the writer had been struggling financially. | | D．Because he didn’t want others to copy their handshake. |
