B People come in all shapes and sizes,colors and races (种族). Some speak differently while others act differently. My mother is in a wheelchair. I would like to say something about this special woman I call "Mommy". My mom does what a mom needs to do every day. She picks me up from school,drives me to meetings,cooks dinner,and helps me with my homework. This is just part of what makes her great,though. She is my best friend and can immediately notice when I am unhappy. She helps me solve problems that my friends do not understand. Mommy makes me laugh when times are tough. I look forward to coming home because I know there is someone there who cares about what I have done. Mommy has always tried to be like a "normal" mom. But I think my mother is a wonderful woman and she doesn’t need to change. She teaches me life lessons that no teacher or friend can. She shows me how to accept everyone for what is inside,rather than what is on the outside. You may have realized that all the qualities (品质) I admire have nothing to do with what she looks like. Everyone could be the way she is,but most are not. I want everyone to look beyond the surface and see what is inside others. You may fail to notice someone who is very special like my mom because you cannot accept their outside features. 小题1: What’s the function of Paragraph 1?A.To tell us that people are born to be different. | B.To show the main idea of the passage. | C.To suggest we enjoy what we have. | D.To lead to the topic of the passage. | 小题2:Which of the following words can best describe the writer’s mother?A.Ugly. | B.Normal. | C.Useless. | D.Wonderful. | 小题3: We can know from Paragraph 5 that A.the writer’s mother has tried to be like a normal mom | B.the writer expects his mother to change | C.the writer has no teachers or friends | D.the writer accept everyone for what is inside | 小题4:What can we learn from the passage?A.Most people accept who they are. | B.People admire the writer’s mother very much. | C.The writer doesn’t mind her mother’s disability. | D.The writer’s mother is a normal person in fact. | 小题5: The writer writes the passage to A.encourage his mother to be happy | B.tell us that everyone acts differently | C.tell us to respect the disabled around us | D.tell us to look beyond the surface and see what is inside people |

B Pingyao, located (坐落于) in the center of Shanxi Province, is a famous historic cultural city of China and a world cultural heritage (遗产) site. It is 90 kilometers south of Taiyuan on the Fen River. People lived in Pingyao during the New Stone Age. Its long period as a county government seat (县衙) has left Pingyao with lots of historic buildings and sites, with a 2,700-year history. Ninety-nine of them are under government protection, including Zhengguo Temple, Shuanglin Temple and Pingyao Ancient City. During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, businessmen organized commercial (商业的) groups that did business nationwide. Shanxi Province had some of the most important ones and Pingyao was their center. In 1823, a store, known as Rishengchang (Sunrise Prosperity), traded in bank checks (支票) rather than in silver or gold coins. It was the beginning of modern Chinese banking. Branch (分支) banks were soon set up in major cities in China and other parts of Asia, leading to great development in Pingyao. Its lacquer ware (漆器) became well known as well. In Pingyao Ancient City are many traditional houses and commercial buildings, 3,797 of which are protected and more than 400 of which are in good condition. Not only do the houses in Pingyao show Shanxi’s history and culture, but this large number is valuable for studying its history, customs, ancient buildings and art. Most of these houses are still used as homes and shops of local people. In 1997, Ancient Pingyao City was listed in World Heritage List as “World Culture Heritage Site”(世界文化遗产). 小题1:What does the underlined word “them” (in Paragraph 2) refer to?A.Historic buildings and sites. | B.The three temples. | C.The county government seats. | D.The 2,700-year history. | 小题2: Which of the following about Pingyao is NOT mentioned in the passage?A.Its location. | B.Its tourism. | C.Its business. | D.Its history. | 小题3:During the Ming and Qing Dynasties, Pingyao was a leading center in _____.A.growing rice and corn . | B.raising cattle. | C.commercial trade. | D.making gold coins. | 小题4:If you want to know about the history of banking in China, which of the following places should you visit?A.Sunrise Prosperity. | B.Zhengguo Temple. | C.A lacquer ware store. | D.A commercial house. |

We tried so hard to make things better for our kids but we made them worse. For my naughty boys, I’d know better. I’d really like for them to know about hand-me-down clothes and home-made ice cream and leftover meatloaf. I really would. My cherished boys, I hope you learn humility (谦逊) by surviving failure and that you learn to be honest even when no one is looking. I hope you get a black eye fighting for something you believe in. I hope you have to share a bedroom with your younger brother. And it is all right to draw a line down the middle of the room, but when he wants to crawl (爬) under the covers (被子) with you because he’s scared, I hope you’ll let him. And when you want to see a Disney movie and your kid brother wants to tag along, I hope you take him. I hope you have to walk uphill with your friends and that you live in a town where you can do it safely. I hope you learn to dig in the dirt and read books, and when you learn to use computers, you also learn how to add and subtract (减) in your head. May you skin your knee climbing a mountain, burn your hand on the stove and stick your tongue on a frozen flagpole (旗杆). I hope you get sick when someone blows smoke in your face. I don’t care if you try beer once, but I hope you won’t like it. I sure hope you make time to sit on a porch with your grandpa or go fishing with your uncle. I hope your father punishes you when you throw a baseball through a neighbor’s window, and that your mother hugs you and kisses you when you give her a plaster of pared mold (一个石膏模型) of your hand. These things I wish for you—tough times and disappointment, hard work and happiness. 小题1:Who wrote the letter?

Then I was sent off to a boarding school. I missed my 24 very much at first; I didn"t want to leave once I returned home. Later I met a very 25 teacher, who cared for me and helped me with study. He was also the 26 person to encourage me to act and write. At 13, I moved to Malvern College, but I was kicked out at 15 for 27 school rules. Then I went to another school where I failed my English A level. In fact, I didn"t like studying. I finally 28 that life shouldn"t be like this. So I retook the 29 and got an A grade. And more 30 , I made a decision: to go to college, so I began to 31 for the entrance exam. I 32 passed the exam and went to Cambridge to read English.
