"I couldn"t move. I"ll have to wait here until you return." I said to my friends. I felt so aching and my 1
gave out under me. But at the last moment I 2 with great strength and walked with my friends. This was
what I had experienced 12 years before when I was climbing Mt Huangshan, and this 3 cheered me up.
Compared to the climbing of the Huangshan Mountain, going up the Wansheng Mountain (万圣山) seemed
much 4 . The only 5 was the snow.
On the 27th of January 2008, I went out alone, climbing the Wansheng Mountain. On my way I saw
children playing 6 on the road, making snowmen or driving toy wooden trucks on the snow. Soon I 7
myself at the foot of the mountain. Looking up at the snow-covered giant mountain and seeing the steep
slippery (滑) road with thick ice and snow, I suddenly felt a little 8 , but the 9 of the footprints in the
snow made me feel 10 that this was a safe access to the top of the mountain. About 40 minutes later, I
reached the edge of the forest on the mountain. Stamping on the road, I could feel the 11 of ice and snow.
In some places, there were snow drifts and piles of ice, which were pushed aside to let people go more easily.
Seeing the white-covered pine trees, I couldn"t help entering the 12 . In spite of the heavy 13 , many
trees were still standing straight, but some were bent down with snow and ice, some even 14 . Walking on
the path in the forest, I could see no more 15 . Suddenly I realized that it was 16 to walk in such dirty
weather. In my childhood, I had witnessed thousands of trees, big or small, falling down one after another in
a flash. Fearing that the 17 of dominoes (多米诺) might happen, I hurried 18 .
Now I"m sitting beside a warm stove, writing about my trip while my memory is still 19 . I regard this to
be one of the most exciting moments, one that I"ll 20 forever in my life. |

| 阅读理解。 | I was a freshman in college when I met the Whites. They were completely different from my own family,
yet I felt at home with them immediately. Jane White and I became friends at school, and her family welcomed
me like a long-lost cousin.
In my family, it was always important to place blame when anything bad happened.
"Who did this?" my mother would scream about a dirty kitchen.
"This is all your fault, Katharine," my father would insist when the cat got out or the dishwasher broke.
From the time we were little, my sister, brothers and I told on each other. We set a place for blame at the
dinner table.
But the Whites didn"t worry about who had done what. They picked up the pieces and moved on with their
lives. The beauty of this was driven home to me the summer Jane died.
In July, the White sisters and I decided to take a car trip from their home in Florida to New York. The two
older sisters, Sarah and Jane, were college students, and the youngest, Amy, had recently turned sixteen. Proud
of having a new driver"s license (驾照), Amy was excited about practicing her driving on the trip. She showed
off her license to everyone she met.
The big sisters shared the driving of Sarah"s new car during the first part of the trip, but when they reached
less crowded areas, they let Amy take over. Somewhere in South Carolina, we pulled off the highway to eat.
After lunch, Amy got behind the wheel. She came to a crossroads with a stop sign. Whether she was nervous
or just didn"t see the sign no one would ever know, but Amy continued into the crossroads without stopping.
The driver of a large truck, unable to stop in time, ran into our car.
Jane was killed immediately.
I was slightly injured. The most difficult thing that I"ve ever done was to call the Whites to tell them about
the accident and that Jane had died. Painful as it was for me to lose a good friend, I knew that it was far worse
for them to lose a child.
When Mr. and Mrs. White arrived at the hospital, they found their two daughters sharing a room. Sarah had
a few cuts on the head; Amy"s leg was broken. They hugged us all and cried tears of sadness and of joy at
seeing their daughters. They wiped away the girls" tears and made a few jokes at Amy as she learned to use her
crutches (拐杖).
To both of their daughters, and especially to Amy, over and over they simply said, "We"re so glad that you"re
alive."
I was astonished. No blame. No accusations.
Later, I asked the Whites why they never talked about the fact that Amy was driving and had run a stop
sign.
Mrs. White said, "Jane"s gone, and we miss her terribly. Nothing we say or do will ever bring her back.
But Amy has her whole life ahead of her. How can she lead a full and happy life if she feels we blame her for
her sister"s death?"
They were right. Amy graduated from the University of California and got married several years ago. She
works as a teacher of learning-disabled students. She"s also a mother of two little girls of her own, the oldest
named Jane. | | 1. The author of the passage is _____. | | [ ] | A. Mrs. White"s niece

work.
One morning, in addition to his usual lunch bag, Molly handed him a second paper bag. This one was
worn and held together with staples (书钉).
"Why two bags?" Her father asked. "The other is something else," Molly answered.
"What"s in it?" "Just some stuff (东西). Take it with you."
Not wanting to discuss the matter, he put both sacks into his briefcase, kissed Molly and rushed off.
At midday he opened Molly"s bag and took out the contents: two hair ribbons, three small stones, a plastic
dinosaur, a tiny sea shell, a small doll, and 13 pennies…The busy father smiled, finished eating, and swept
the desk clean into the wastebasket, Molly"s stuff included.
That evening, Molly ran up behind him as he read the paper. "Where"s my bag?" "What bag?" "The one I
gave you this morning." "I left it at the office. Why?" "I forgot to put this note in it," she said. "And, besides,
Daddy, the things in the sack are the things I really like. I thought you might like to play with them. You didn"t
lose the bag, did you, Daddy?" "Oh, no," he said, lying. "I just forgot to bring it home. I"ll bring it tomorrow."
While Molly hugged her father"s neck, he unfolded the note that read:"I love you, Daddy." Molly had given him
her treasures-all that a 7-year-old held dear.
Love in a paper bag, and he missed it-not only missed it, but had thrown it in the wastebasket. So back he
went to the office. Just ahead of the night Janitor (看门人), he picked up the bag from the wastebasket. He
put the treasure inside and carried it home carefully. The bag didn"t look so good, but the stuff was all there
and that"s what counted.
After dinner, he asked Molly to tell him about the stuff in the sack. It took a long time to tell. Everything
had a story or a memory.
"Sometimes I think of all the great times in this sweet life," he thought.
We should all remember that it"s not the destination that counts in life, but the journey. That journey with
the people we love is all that really matters. It is such a simple truth but it is so easily forgotten. | | 1. Why did Molly give her father a second bag? | | [ ] | A. She didn"t want to keep the things in the bag.
B. She hoped those things would bring happiness to her father.
C. She wanted to remind her father of the stories behind the things.
D. She enjoyed playing with her father. | | 2. How did Father deal with the bag after he opened it? | | [ ] | A. He kept it in the drawer.
B. He took it back home.
C. He threw it into the wastebasket.
D. He put it on his table. | | 3. After Father heard what his daughter said, he felt _____. | | [ ] | A. regretful
B. surprised
C. sad
D. satisfied | | 4. Which of the following is the most suitable title of the passage? | | [ ] | A. An Important Journey
B. Two Bags
C. Father and Daughter
D. Love in a Paper Bag | | Cloze. | Even though it was only October, my students were already whispering about Christmas plans. With each
passing day, everyone became more 1 , waiting for the final school bell. Upon its 2 , everyone would run
for their coats and go home, everyone except David.
David was a small boy in ragged (破旧的) clothes. I had often wondered what kind of home life David had,
and what kind of mother could send her son to school dressed so inappropriately for the cold winter months,
without a coat, boots, or gloves. But something made David 3 . I can still remember he was always 4 a
smile and willing to help. He always 5 after school to straighten chairs and mop the floor. We never talked
much. He 6 just simply smile and ask what else he could do, then thank me for letting him stay and slowly
head for home.
Weeks passed and the 7 over the coming Christmas grew into restlessness until the last day of 8 before
the holiday break. I smiled in relief (欣慰) as the last of them hurried out the door. Turning around, I saw
David 9 standing by my desk.
"I have something for you," he said and 10 from behind his back a small box. 11 it to me, he said anxiously,
"Open it." I took the box from him, thanked him and slowly unwrapped (打开) it. I lifted the lid and to my 12
saw nothing. I looked at David"s smiling face and back into the box and said, "The box is nice, David, but it"s
empty."
"Oh, no, it isn"t," said David. "It"s full of love. My mum told me before she died that love was something you
couldn"t see or touch unless you know it"s there."
Tears filled my eyes 3 I looked at the proud dirty face that I had rarely given 4 to. After that Christmas, David and I became good friends and I never forgot the meaning 5 the little empty box set on my desk | ( )1. A. anxious

didn"t come home at lunch time, phoning 1 to tell me he was fine and had found a few days" work 2
out at an exhibit. However, after he finished work he 3 for supper as usual.
I asked him how he had 4 at lunch and he told me he had made some new 5 at the carnival, some
young men who were twin brothers, and their mom and dad. They had 6 him a few dollars and invited him
for lunch 7 for helping them set up their exhibit and wanted him to 8 the next day to help with other
chores (杂务).
I was glad he had found new friends but a little 9 about the type of people who might be traveling in a
carnival. "Oh, Mom, these are just 10 everyday people like anyone else. They 11 work at a carnival instead
of in a store or something". "Come down tomorrow and 12 them yourself," he said.
So the next day I went to the carnival and to the exhibit he had 13 me to. The twin brothers 14 out to be
Siamese (连体的) twins, joined at the chest. He hadn"t thought this 15 was noteworthy enough to mention.
When I brought it to him, he said, "yes, I 16 that too. Do you know that their mom has to make all their
clothes 17 it"s so difficult to find anything to fit them? They"re also really good 18 . Today, Joe, the one on
the right, made me spaghetti (意大利面条) for lunch."
What others see first in a person is not what a child considers 19 . Where I saw Siamese twins, he saw
people having difficulty buying clothes that fit, and young men who were good cooks. It was a 20 I have
