As we were leaving, we found that only minutes earlier an elderly woman had fallen over at the entrance and had hit her head on the concrete. Her husband was with her, but there was blood everywhere and the woman was embarrassed and clearly in shock.Walking towards the scene, Tenyson became very upset about what had happened to the couple. He said to me, “Mum, it’s not much fun falling over in front of everyone.”At the front of the supermarket a charity(慈善) group had set up a stand selling cooked sausages and flowers to raise funds. Tenyson suggested that we should buy the lady a flower. “It will make her feel better,” he said. I was amazed that he’d come up with such a sweet idea. So we went over to the flower seller and asked her if we could buy a flower for the lady to cheer her up. “Just take it,” she replied. “I can’t take your money for such a wonderful gesture.”By now paramedics（救援人员）had arrived, and were attending the injured woman. As we walked up to her, my son became intimidated by all the blood and medical equipment. He said he was just too scared to go up to her. Instead I gave the flower to the woman’s husband and told him, “ My son was very upset for your wife and wanted to give her this flower to make her feel better.”At that, the old man started crying and said, “Thank you so much, you have a wonderful son. Happy Mother’s Day to you.”The man then bent down and gave his wife the flower, telling her who it was from. Though badly hurt and shaken, the old lady looked up at Tenyson with love in her eyes and gave him a little smile.1. What dose the author intend to tell us?A. One can never be too careful.B.

What would be the best title for the passage?A. Flower PowerB. Mother’s DayC. An Accidental InjuryD. An Embarrassing Moment 【考点】考察社会生活类阅读【文章大意】在去年的母亲节这一天，我们在购物的时候，前面有一位老人摔倒了并流了很多血。儿子给她买了花，结果对方很感激儿子善意的做法。也很开心有人能够关心她。作者想通过这个事情告诉我们：有时候一件微不足道的的善意的行为会给自己和他人带来很多的快乐，要与人为善。1. 【答案】D 2. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第二段2,3行It will make her feel better,” he said.

However, he cannot take the credit for creating other well-loved characters, such as Cinderella and Snow White. They are almost automatically associated with Disney because Disney turned old fables(寓言) into cartoon movies.   The original Cinderella varies very much from the Disney version we know today. It started off with the girl mourning her mother’s death and going to her tomb three times a day. In addition, there were only birds that helped Cinderella; there was no such thing as a fairy godmother or helpful mice, nor was there mention of a horse and carriage.   The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name.   In the original story, the king’s ball actually lasted for three days. With the help of the birds, the girl, beautifully dressed, danced with the prince on all three nights and the prince fell in love with her. However, she broke away from him to rush back home each night. On the last night, the prince placed soothing sticky on the stairs; as Cinderella made her escape, a shoe got stuck on it.Here now is where the story becomes unpleasant: when the prince went to the house looking for the girl whose foot fit the shoe, the wicked(邪恶的) stepmother told one of her two daughters to cut off her big toe to fit into the shoe. The daughter did as told. So the prince took her away to be his bride. But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.” Realizing he had been tricked, the prince returned the daughter to her mother. The other then had to cut off part of her heel in order to fit into the shoe, with the same result. Only Cinderella’s foot fit perfectly and so the prince chose to marry her. The story ends with the wedding day: as Cinderella’s two stepsisters followed her, pretending to be devoted to her so that they could enjoy the king’s riches, two birds flew by and plucked(啄) out their eyes. Because of their wickedness and falsehood, they had to spend the rest of their days blind.The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.5. What dose the underlined word “They” in the first paragraph refer to?A. Such wonderful things.B. Other well-loved characters.C. Old fables.D. Cartoon movies.6. How did Cinderella get her name?A. The Birds came up with it.B. It was given by Disney.C. It came from the word “ash”.D. She got it from her mother.7. Which of the following is TRUE according to the original story?A. Helpful mice got Cinderella a beautiful dress.B. The ball was held to celebrate the prince’s wedding.C. Cinderella left her shoe on the stairs on purpose.D. The birds told the prince that he had been cheated.8. The moral of the original story is that ____________.A. a wicked person cannot escape punishment.B. a devoted person certainly deserves respect.C. a well-behaved child earns a great reward.D. a dishonest child cannot get mother love.9. What does the author think of the Disney version?A. Excellent. B. Ordinary C. Dull.  D. Ridiculous.【考点】考察文化教育类阅读【文章大意】本文告诉我们《灰姑娘》的原版内容和迪斯尼的版本不一样，文章解释了原版的具体内容。5. 【答案】B 6. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第三段The stepsisters were cruel: they always threw Cinderella’s food into the ashes of the fire and made her sleep on the ashes on the floor, hence（因此）her name.可知正是因为她们把Cinderella的食物扔进了灰烬，并让他在灰烬上睡觉，属于Cinderella才会得到这样的一个名字。故C正确。7. 【答案】D 【试题解析】细节题。根据But when they passed the tomb of Cinderella’s mother, the birds called out to the prince,“Turn and peep, there’s blood in the shoe;the shoe is too small, the true bride waits for you.”可知是小鸟告诉王子他被骗了。故D正确。8. 【答案】A 9. 【答案】A 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章最后一段The original Cinderella is so different from the Disney version. Thank goodness Disney made such changes; it indeed was a wise move.可知原版的《灰姑娘》和迪斯尼版的完全不一样，迪斯尼版虽然有了很多改变，不过还不错。故A正确。D Perhaps you think you could easily add to your happiness with more money. Strange as it may seem, if you're unsatisfied, the issue is not a lack of means to meet your desires but a lack of desires—not that you cannot satisfy your tastes but that you don't have enough tastes.  Real riches consist of well-developed and hearty capacities (能力)  to enjoy life.  Most people are already swamped(淹没) with things. They eat, wear, go and talk too much. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.   Your house of life ought to be a mansion (豪宅) , a royal palace.  Every new taste, every additional interest, every fresh enthusiasm adds a room.  Here are several rooms your house of life should have.    Art should be a desire for you to develop simply because the world is full of beautiful things. If you only understood how to enjoy them and feed your spirit on them, they would make you as happy as to find plenty of ham and eggs when you're hungry.    Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment. To gain that love would go toward making you a rich person, for a rich person is not someone who has a library but who likes a library.    Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent. Real riches are of the spirit. And when you've brought that spirit up to where classical music feeds it and makes you a little drunk, you have increased your thrills and bettered them. And life is a matter of thrills.   Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life. No matter who you are, you would be more human, and your house of life would be better supported against the had days, if you could, and did, play a bit.  Whatever rooms you might add to your house of life, the secret of enjoying life is to keep adding.10. The author intends to tell us that____________.    A. true happiness lies in achieving wealth by fair means    B. big houses are people's most valued possessions    C. big houses can in a sense bring richness of life    D. true happiness comes from spiritual riches11. The underlined sentence in the second paragraph probably implies that__________.    A. however materially rich, they never seem to be satisfied    B. however materially rich, they remain spiritually poor    C. though their house is big, they prefer a simple life    D. though their house is big, it seems to be a cage12. It can be learned from the passage that __________.    A. more money brings more happiness    B. art is needed to make your house beautiful     C. literature can enrich your spiritual life     D. sports contribute mainly to your physical fitness13. What would be the best title for the passage?    A. House of Life                               B. Secret of WealthC. Rest and Refreshment                         D. Interest and Enthusiasm【考点】考察文化教育类阅读10. 【答案】D 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章4,5,6,7段第一句Art should be a desire for you和 Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room和Music like Mozart's and Bach's shouldn't be absent.和Sports, without which you remain poor, mean a lot in life.真正幸福的人需要懂或者拥有：艺术，文学，音乐和运动等，而这些主要是与我们精神上的丰富有关系的。也就是说真正的幸福是精神上的富有。故D正确。11. 【答案】B 【试题解析】推理题。根据本句h. They live in too big a house with too many rooms, yet their house of life is a hut.很多人住的是豪宅，但是他内心里的生命的住所是一个小棚屋。也就是说无论他物质上多么富有，但是内心的精神世界是贫穷的。故B正确。12. 【答案】C 【试题解析】推理题。根据文章第五段Literature, classic literature, is a beautiful, richly furnished room where you might find many an hour of rest and refreshment.文学可以让我们的心灵得到丰富，在那里你可以得到心灵的安宁。故C正确。13. 【答案】A Ⅱ.完形填空（共30分）The most unforgettable thing during my long summer holiday last year, of course is my trip__1__England.
