the really grateful one, and said “Thanks!”, smiling.

As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began. “Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years. Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach....but mostly your friends. I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give him or her. I am going to tell you a story.”

Dannis was waiting at the airline ticket counter when he first noticed the young woman with shiny black hair pulled tightly into a knot. She wore black boots of soft leather. Dannis struggled to sec her face, she was ahead of him in line, but it was not until she bought her ticket and turned to walk away that he realized her beauty, which was fair-skinned and big-eyed. She seemed aware that he was staring at her and lowered her gaze abruptly.

His flight was leaving in an hour. To kill time, Dannis stepped into an airport bar and ordered a Scotch. While sipping it, he watched the flow of travelers through the terminal (航站楼)until he caught sight of the black-haired girl in the leather coat again, deep in conversation with a blonde girl (金发女孩). “Invite her for a drink?” Dannis hesitated. In another instant ,the two women separated, neither of whose directions was toward him.

When next he saw her, Dannis was buying a magazine and became aware someone was pushing him. At first, he was startled (受惊吓的) that anyone would be so close as to touch him, but when he saw who it was, he smiled.

“Busy place,” Dannis said.

She looked up at him and blushed. Wordlessly, she moved away and joined the crowds in the terminal. Dannis was at the counter with his magazine, but when he reached into his pocket for his wallet, the pocket was empty. Where could I have left it? His mind was racing, the credit cards, the cash, the identification card… His stomach stirred with something very like fear. “The girl who was so near to me!” he said to himself. All at once he understood she had picked his pocket. What shall he do?

First, find a policeman, tell him what has happened. He would probably never see his wallet again. Dannis gritted his teeth. When glancing around for the police, suddenly, he spotted the black-haired girl, seated against a front window of the terminal. She seemed absorbed in a book

【参考答案】 A

Paragraph 1：

The car abruptly stopped in front of him. Mac rushed down from his bicycle and frantically waved at the passengers inside the car for help. The young couple inside the car jumped out to help him. They saw the wolf charging towards them about to attack. They quickly helped Mac climb into the car and rushed into their front seats, locking the doors. The wolf kept growling at them from outside the car, unable to enter.

Paragraph 2：

A few minutes later, the other two cyclists arrived. By this time, the wolf had already left. Mac’s friends then helped him get out of the car. Mac and his friends thanked the couple in the car as they drove off. Then Mac got back on his bicycle and pedaled back home with his friends. After his terrifying adventure, Mac felt relieved when he reached home safe to his loving family. B

Paragraph 1：

Mike reached the kids—a brother and sister around eight or nine years old. He got to the boy first, and when he turned to the girl, he had to reach down into the water and catch her by the hair to pull her back up. Mike swam sideways out of the rip current into the clear water and started bringing them in. When I reached their mother, Mike was in waist-deep water. These kids were so exhausted that they couldn’t walk, and so Mike’s carrying them. He’s got one under each arm. I turned to their mom and said, “Hey, it’s gonna be OK. They’re safe. I saw the terror start to drain out of her. Paragraph 2：

Then the mother glanced back and got her first good look at Mike, as well as his tattoos. And a crazy thing happened. I saw a new kind of panic wash over her as though there’s some new, equally dangerous threat on her kids’ lives because of the tattoos on Mike’s arms. She rushed up to Mike and snatched her kids and turned up the beach. Not even a thank-you. Mike just glanced at me, shrugged, and jogged back to his tower. As I jogged back to my tower, I promised myself I’d never let my own fear or prejudice prevent me from recognizing a hero only because I don’t see friendly appearance in him. C

Paragraph 1：

The deer saw the jackal and the tiger coming together. She again raised her voice. She shouted towards her children standing inside the cave, “My dear children, I requested my friend, the clever jackal, to capture a tiger for us. Now look the jackal has captured a tiger for us. He has tied the tiger’s tail to his tail. This is to prevent the tiger from escaping. You will soon have the tiger for dinner.” Paragraph 2：

The tiger was shocked to hear this and he was sure now the jackal cheated him. So, the tiger decided to escape

from the terrible animal standing inside his cave. He started running. He forgot about the jackal. He dragged the jackal over rocks and thorns. In the mad escape the jackal was caught between two rocks. The tiger pulled with all his might. His tail got cut. The jackal was killed in this incident. The tail-less tiger ran away to another part of the forest. The deer and her young ones left the tiger’s cave. They joined their herd safely. Presence of mind and intelligence can save one from dangerous situations. D

Paragraph 1：

I was calculating how much more money I’d need to buy a recorder when I saw the towers of guitar cases in the back of the store. As much as I wanted a recorder, I wanted to buy Derek a guitar case more. Even if he had been annoying lately, he was a pretty neat brother. Going inside the store, I found the perfect case for Derek, a brown one with gold buttons. It cost a lot, though. Much more than I had. I hoped that there would be lots more mistletoe in the orchard when I got there. Paragraph 2：

I reached the orchard again, overhearing a familiar voice talking with the orchard owner. It was Derek on the branches! He didn’t see me in the shadows. “So what are you doing with all the money I’m paying you? Are you going out and having a good time?” asked the owner. “No,” said Derek, getting off the apple tree, “I’m saving up to buy my kid brother something for Christmas. He’s been wanting a wooden recorder for ages. He can play pretty well. And you know how it is—he’s my brother.” E

Paragraph 1：

After Jack had been gone from the bank for a while, the alarms began to ring. The police arrived at the bank very quickly, only to find no one there. The next day was a really special day for the town, which was filled with newspaper and TV reporters covering the strange theft. The clerks at the bank were busy discussing the case, of course, including Jack. The police could only promise to catch the thieves as soon as possible, even though no clues had been found yet. Paragraph 2：

But the most unlucky man was the manager of the bank, an old man. He seemed to be the only person to blame and was removed from his position. At last, with enough money for her operation, Jack’s wife was saved. However,
