C
The cold wind blew strongly outside. Amaya was warm in her house, thinking about an article she’d read at school. The article was about kids who helped out their communities, and she thought it would be really cool to help her own town, Harvard.
The only problem was that she wasn’t sure how to help. In the article, the kids had grown food for people who needed food, but it was winter. She couldn’t start a garden. Amaya was deep in thought when her mom said it was time to go shopping.
As they drove along the road, Amaya saw a family walking on the sidewalk( 人行 道 ),wearing only light jackets. How cold they must be! That gave her an idea! She could collect winter coats, hats and gloves for people who needed them.
She shared her idea with her mom, who thought it was great. But how would they spread the idea to get plenty of winter clothing? Amaya decided to talk to her teacher, because then she could share her idea with her classmates at least.
Ms. Monroe agreed when Amaya talked about her idea. They decided to call the project Hats in Harvard. Then they wrote a letter explaining the project. Ms. Monroe even said she could help Amaya talk to the headmaster about it, so they could get the whole school to join in it. They met with the headmaster during lunch time. He was excited about the idea, and said he would make
sure copies(复印件) of the letter went home with all the students.
They collected enough winter clothing in only one week. Then they left the clothes around two parks, so families who needed clothes could get them there. Three days later, Amaya and her mom went shopping again. She saw the same family that had given her the idea for Hats in Harvard. This time, though, the family looked nice and warm in some new coats, hats and gloves. Amaya felt warm in her heart, and was very glad she could help others.
36. Amaya wanted to after she had read an article at school.
A. grow food B. collect winter clothing
C. help her own town D. go shopping with her mom
37. Whom did Amaya share her idea with first?
A. Her teacher. B. Her mother.
C. Her classmates. D. Her headmaster.
38. The underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refers to(指的是) .
A. the letter B. the project
C. the winter clothing D. Ms. Monroe’s idea
39. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. It took three days to collect enough clothes.
B. Ms. Monroe only helped Amaya write a letter.
C. Families who needed clothes got clothes from Amaya.
D. The headmaster helped spread the project Hats in Harvard.
40. After reading the passage, we can know that .
A. Amaya herself could complete the project well
B. Hats in Harvard was supported by many people in Harvard
C. the family that gave Amaya the idea for Hats in Harvard knew Amaya
D. Amaya helped the families who needed winter clothing because she knew them

D
Emergencies (紧急情况) don’t happen very often. But when they do, you want to get help first. No one wants to spend time looking up the phone numbers.
In 1968, the United States government wanted one number that people could call for emergencies. They decided that 911 was easy to remember and people could dial it quickly. The first 911 call was made on February 16, 1968, in Alabama. Today, 911 is used for emergencies in most parts of the United States and many parts of Canada.
Other countries may use other numbers. In Great Britain, it’s 999. If you’re not sure which emergency number is used in your area, check your phone book.
When to call
Never call 911 as a joke or just to see what might happen. The only time you should call 911 is when a person is badly hurt or in danger right now! So call when there is a fire, a car accident, or sudden sickness, etc.
When in an emergency call
When you dial the 911 operator（接线员），it’s always OK to give out your information. Speak slowly and clearly when you explain what’s happening. What happened? Where are you? Who needs help?
Don’t hang up（挂断）!
If you have to call 911, do not hang up until the operator tells you it’s OK to do so. That way, you can be sure that the operator has all the information to offer help fast.
A dog named Faith dialed 911 when her owner who was in a wheelchair fell and needed help. She had been taught to use a speed-dial (快速拨号) function.

41. The emergency number 911 was first used in ________ in the USA.
A. 1958 B. 1968 C. 1978 D. 1999
42. Why was 911 chosen to be the emergency call?
A. Because other countries also used the number.
B. Because it was suggested by the phone company.
C. Because it was simple and easy to remember and dial.
D. Because it was also used in many parts of Canada.
43. People can’t call 911 when ________.
A. a bus hits a boy badly
B. a girl feels bored
C. an old lady falls off the stairs, unable to stand up
D. some people can’t get out of a burning building
44. Which is the right thing to do?
A. Wait for the operator’s words to end the call.
B. Tell the operator what has happened and hang up.
C. Test if your phone can get through to 911.
D. Tell the operator everything as quickly as possible.
45. Which is NOT true according to the passage?
A. 911 is an emergency number almost throughout the United States.
B. We haven’t got a worldwide universal（通用的）emergency number yet.
C. Usually phone books list emergency call numbers.
D. The dog Faith pressed the three numbers 9-1-1.

七、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分)
阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
Recent years have witnessed (见证) the running of Bike-sharing across China. An increase number of people choose cycling instead of driving to school, to workplace or to do sightseeing. Bike-sharing plans are warmly welcomed in many cities. Mobike had 5.85 million active users while Ofo had 1.4 million in the first week of this year.
People can unlock the shred bikes by simply using their smart phones. All bikes have GPS and can be left anywhere in the public for the next user. They’re popular among many Chinese people because they help solve “last-mile” problems in cities. For example , 73people find it difficult to get to the hotel when they got off trains or to travel around the city.
However , the plans have also led to problems such as illegal(非法的) parking, vandalism (故意破坏)and theft .In February, two nurses in Beijing were placed under administrative detention(行政拘留) for five days for putting locks on two shared bikes.
In fact, these problems are also shared by bike-sharing plans abroad. Started in 2007, Velib is the largest public bike sharing system in Paris in France. At its early period , it also met with problems of vandalism or theft. 74To deal with these problems , the company came up with the idea of encouraging people to return the bikes to the stations by rewarding free riding time for their next rides.
Now, Chinese service organizations are also trying to deal with these problems. For example, Mobike sets a 100-point credit score(信用分数) for each user, but the points will be taken because of his or her bad behavior. Once a score drops below 80, bike rental(租金) will be increased from 1 yuan to 100 yuan per 30 minutes.
A. 根据短文内容简要回答问题。
71.How do people unlock the shared bikes ?
____________________________________________________________________________
72.According to Mobike , how will a rider be punished if he or she credit score drops below 80 ?
____________________________________________________________________________
B. 将短文中划线的句子译成英语。

73._________________________________________________________________________

74._________________________________________________________________________
C. 请给短文拟一个适当的英文标题。

75._________________________________________________________________________
