I was shopping at a department store and had just got onto the down escalator（手扶电梯）when I noticed a woman standing to the side. She looked about 65, and her 16 told me she was scared. I turned 17 the woman and asked "Do you need any help?"
The woman remained silent. As the escalator continued moving I heard the woman reply 18 , "I'm afraid." "Want me to come back and get you?" I called to her. She 19 .
But by the time I reached her arm, the woman had reconsidered. "I don't think I can do it," she said. I suddenly realized that I had offered far greater help than I 20 .
"I know we can do it," I said. "I can hold on to you." She looked down at the scary 21 Then her eyes came back to mine, looking doubtful. "This has never 22 me before," she said, as much to herself as to me.
I took her 23 . "Shall we?"
She made a little sound of 24 as we stepped on, but we'd passed the point of no return. To my joy, she 25 a little as the stairs moved us downward.

However, as we got near the 26 , she felt scared again, but we did it.
"I'm so 27 …" she began.
"It was nothing," I said. "I was happy to do it."
Happy, yes. I seldom help others. I am 28 because I care for a family and work full time. For a short moment, I seemed to understand 29 someone would become a nurse or a social worker or something else. Not only did I help the old lady get on the escalator, but also helped her 30 her fear. It was a much happier moment than I'd had in weeks.

Scientists say that hobbies can make kids smarter, healthier and even more successful when they grow up. How?
They Help You Learn
When you have a hobby, you learn new things. You have to read instructions. You look at websites, magazines and books to get more information about your hobby. More reading makes you a better reader and a better learner.
They Help You Be Creative
For many hobbies, such as building model cars and making pottery, you have to use your brain as well as your hands. We learn by doing things and by touching things. These kinds of activities make people more creative.
They Help You Be Relaxed
Having a hobby makes you feel good. Scientists say, "When you make something, the ‘feel-good' part of your brain gets a message. It makes you feel happy. " When we feel happy, we have less stress. Too much stress can make people sick.

The British love word-play and they’re enthusiastic about defending the use of their language. In recent years, books about the grammar, pronunciation and punctuation (标点) of English have been written by the dozen, and sold extremely well, reflecting people’s love of the English language. People want to defend the “correct” use of their language, but also to preserve its ability to evolve along with society. Lynne Truss’s book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is an excellent example of these two opposite ideas. Its title shows the way that punctuation can change meaning in a sentence. “Eats shoots and leaves” is a perfectly normal description of a panda’s diet: he eats the shoots and leaves of bamboo trees. But the position of the comma (逗号) turns those nouns into verbs, and makes up a ridiculous little story: the panda eats (his dinner), he shoots (a gun), and he leaves (the building). It’s a silly joke, but it shows how changing something as simple as a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence.
Published in 2003, Eats, Shoots & Leaves was an unexpectedly huge success. It is easy to assume the typical reader of this kind of book as the humourless type. However, the book has sold thousands and thousands of copies — it must be appealing to a wide range of people. The book’s winning secret is this: it makes some serious points about language and punctuation, but also has a light-hearted dimension, and uses stories and jokes to show its points. It has invited some tough criticism, too, especially from the US. On a broader range, Eats, Shoots & Leaves has opened up a lot of public debate on Truss’s ideas. Whether they agree with her or not, punctuation and grammar has become a popular topic to discuss.
In every generation there will be people who think that the standard of language is in decline, and who are more than happy to write to the newspapers to express their concern and opinions. Truss’s book also appeals to those who think that texting and blogging is lowering the standard of literacy. Whether the standard of the English language is decreasing, or simply evolving into new forms, the success of Eats, Shoots & Leaves proves that this is a subject that many English speakers find interesting and important.
( )37. The title of the book Eats, Shoots & Leaves is a joke which shows ________.
A. a funny feeling B. a trend in writing
C. a fact about animals D. a grammatical point
( )38. The book has been successful because ________.
A. it causes concern for proper use of language in a fun way
B. it shows the British like to teach English to other people
C. it solves a serious English language problem
D. it presents the new research on English
( )39. What can be inferred from the passage?
A. The English language was better in the past.
B. The English language is being improved by technology.
C. There is often dissatisfaction with the standard of English.
D. There have always been debates on the use of punctuation.
( )40. What is the best title for the passage?
A. The Problem Punctuation Created B. The Difference a Comma Made
C. Public Debate about Language Standards D. Proper Understanding of Silly Jokes
四、词语运用 （本题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）

Because of different reasons, I could neither go abroad nor attend a language course to improve my English. So, I finally d 51 to read books in English. I chose Irving’s novel A widow for One Year.
What was my experience l 52 ? Very challenging! At the beginning, I tried to stop thinking in Chinese about w 53 I was reading. I just kept reading instead of looking up the new words in the dictionary. At first it seemed to be i 54 to read and understand without using a dictionary, but then I began to get the meaning s 55 . Finally, I was so interested in the wonderful characters and the surprising plot of the novel t 56 I completely forgot that I was reading the book in English.
R 57 this novel was very good for my English learning. I found that Irving’s way of writing was very clear and easy to read. This made me feel really satisfied and encouraged me to read m 58 other books (not only by Irving). I discovered that when you read a book in English you will stop thinking in your mother tongue at some point. It’s just as if you were there, inside the story, among the c 59 who speak English in the book.
Reading Irving’s novel also enabled me to learn a large n 60 of new words and expressions used in different contexts. It is really a good way to improve our English.
六、任务型阅读 （本题共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）
阅读下面短文，按要求完成相关任务。
You often hear “New year, new me” in the UK on the first of January. It is very common to start a new year’s resolution on this day. This can be to give up something, like sweets or chocolate, so you can be healthier. People also like to start doing something new. There are so many things you can do! Many people I know decide to play sports and eat healthier food as their new year’s resolution. Many become heavier after the holidays as they often eat a lot.
I think new year’s resolutions are a great idea to give people motivation (动机) to do something good for themselves. When other people have the same resolution as yours, it helps you to stick to your own. For example, you could go jogging (慢跑) with a group of friends several times a week. That can be so much more fun and help you to keep the resolution.
Also, I think it is important for you to choose something realistic as a new year’s resolution. In the past, I have given up chocolate, stopped eating meat and started doing kung fu. Soon after that, I gave up some of these things, such as not eating chocolate. They were too difficult to keep. And some I kept on with and still do now.
This year, my resolution is to travel less by plane. Living in the UK, it was very difficult to travel without a car and not by plane, but now that I live in Germany I find it much easier to travel by another mode (模式) of transport. There are more environmentally friendly ways that I can choose like travelling by train or bus, though it’s more expensive, I know that I will do harm to the environment much less.
61. When do people often start new year’s resolutions in the UK?
_______________________________
62. What resolutions has the writer made to keep healthy in the past?
_______________________________
63. Where does the writer live now?
_______________________________
64. Why does the writer choose to travel less by plane this year?
_______________________________
65. What does the passage mainly talk about?
_______________________________

But the position of the comma (逗号) turns those nouns into verbs, and makes up a ridiculous little story: the panda eats (his dinner), he shoots (a gun), and he leaves (the building). It’s a silly joke, but it shows how changing something as simple as a comma can change the entire meaning of a sentence.
Published in 2003, Eats, Shoots & Leaves was an unexpectedly huge success. It is easy to assume the typical reader of this kind of book as the humourless type. However, the book has sold thousands and thousands of copies — it must be appealing to a wide range of people. The book’s winning secret is this: it makes some serious points about language and punctuation, but also has a light-hearted dimension, and uses stories and jokes to show its points. It has invited some tough criticism, too, especially from the US. On a broader range, Eats, Shoots & Leaves has opened up a lot of public debate on Truss’s ideas. Whether they agree with her or not, punctuation and grammar has become a popular topic to discuss.
In every generation there will be people who think that the standard of language is in decline, and who are more than happy to write to the newspapers to express their concern and opinions. Truss’s book also appeals to those who think that texting and blogging is lowering the standard of literacy. Whether the standard of the English language is decreasing, or simply evolving into new forms, the success of Eats, Shoots & Leaves proves that this is a subject that many English speakers find interesting and important.

Because of different reasons, I could neither go abroad nor attend a language course to improve my English. So, I finally d 51 to read books in English. I chose Irving’s novel A widow for One Year.
What was my experience l 52 ? Very challenging! At the beginning, I tried to stop thinking in Chinese about w 53 I was reading. I just kept reading instead of looking up the new words in the dictionary. At first it seemed to be i 54 to read and understand without using a dictionary, but then I began to get the meaning s 55 . Finally, I was so interested in the wonderful characters and the surprising plot of the novel t 56 I completely forgot that I was reading the book in English.
R 57 this novel was very good for my English learning. I found that Irving’s way of writing was very clear and easy to read. This made me feel really satisfied and encouraged me to read m 58 other books (not only by Irving). I discovered that when you read a book in English you will stop thinking in your mother tongue at some point. It’s just as if you were there, inside the story, among the c 59 who speak English in the book.
Reading Irving’s novel also enabled me to learn a large n 60 of new words and expressions used in different contexts. It is really a good way to improve our English.

You often hear “New year, new me” in the UK on the first of January. It is very common to start a new year’s resolution on this day. This can be to give up something, like sweets or chocolate, so you can be healthier. People also like to start doing something new. There are so many things you can do! Many people I know decide to play sports and eat healthier food as their new year’s resolution. Many become heavier after the holidays as they often eat a lot.
I think new year’s resolutions are a great idea to give people motivation (动机) to do something good for themselves. When other people have the same resolution as yours, it helps you to stick to your own. For example, you could go jogging (慢跑) with a group of friends several times a week. That can be so much more fun and help you to keep the resolution.
Also, I think it is important for you to choose something realistic as a new year’s resolution. In the past, I have given up chocolate, stopped eating meat and started doing kung fu. Soon after that, I gave up some of these things, such as not eating chocolate. They were too difficult to keep. And some I kept on with and still do now.
This year, my resolution is to travel less by plane. Living in the UK, it was very difficult to travel without a car and not by plane, but now that I live in Germany I find it much easier to travel by another mode (模式) of transport. There are more environmentally friendly ways that I can choose like travelling by train or bus, though it’s more expensive, I know that I will do harm to the environment much less.
61. When do people often start new year’s resolutions in the UK?
_______________________________
62. What resolutions has the writer made to keep healthy in the past?
_______________________________
63. Where does the writer live now?
_______________________________
64. Why does the writer choose to travel less by plane this year?

65. What does the passage mainly talk about?
