In fact, in the real world, only quite a few people can accomplish great things and become 42 , and the rest of us will just live our ordinary life. The best solution is to 43 and enjoy it.

第三部分：阅读理解（第一节15小题，第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分40分） 第一节：阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑
A
Last week, I drove to my son’s school to attend the parents’ meeting. My 8-year-old son, Ben, was sitting in the back seat of the car. He said to me on our way to the school, “Mommy, I saw an advertisement on TV last night that said someone grew a big squash(南瓜). He took the squash to the homeless shelter (庇护所) and it fed 20 people. So I was thinking, if one squash could feed 20 people, imagine what two squashes could do? Our school has a big grass area; maybe they will plant some trees and give the fruit to the hungry. Then, there will be fewer people in the world who are hungry.”
I was moved by the words from a child’s mouth, and just said that he was right, and that it was a wonderful idea.
When we arrived at class he walked right up to the teacher and made his suggestion. To my surprise the teacher refused his suggestion, saying she couldn't decide this. The next day he asked me to go to his school again. After we arrived there, he walked into the school headmaster’s office and made his suggestion, and was repulsed. I felt so bad for him, and took him aside to talk it through. He was just like an adult and said, “Well, just because they don’t see it now, we can show them by example: We have a big backyard; can we grow some vegetables and fruit and give them to the hungry?” “Sure,” I said. “That is a wonderful idea.”
I am so proud of my little son. What a wonderfully open heart! Thank you for producing these good advertisements. My son is just one child who is listening to the message and then passing it on to others.
56. Ben had the idea of planting some fruit trees because ________.
A. the author asked him to do so in his free time
B. he wanted to make money to support his family C. he saw an advertisement on TV one night
D. he found his family liked eating all kinds of fruits 57. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Neither the teacher nor the headmaster liked Ben.
B. The advertisement was aimed at people who wanted to buy the squash. C. The author didn’t understand why Ben had that idea.
D. The advertisement Ben saw was a public-interest advertisement. 58. Where did Ben want to plant fruit trees at first?
A. In the grass area of his school. B. In the backyard of his home. C. In the field beside his house. D. In the place around his school. 59. The underlined word “repulsed” in Paragraph3 means ________.
A. accepted B. refused C. welcomed D. punished
B
Times use their own online news to increase their profits (利润). As yet, they haven’t figured out a smooth and sure way to do that. So they cut some more to get profit. The cuts in size that they are making are in some cases risky and in others without considering the results. With every cut, publishers tirelessly argue that readers won’t even know the difference. The trouble is that by the time customers do notice that they are getting less for their money, it will be too late — too late to notice the reduction in the number of readers.
The other big cuts, of course, are in staff (员工). The victims would be the oldest and most experienced workers because they are the highest paid. While there is plenty of tired deadwood among them, there is also a lot of talent.
When experienced staff leave in large numbers — as they often do now — the newspaper loses great professional memory. But the real loser is the readers, who are suddenly robbed of the insights (见识) that only the experienced reporters can bring. As for the future, there is at least one big, bright sign: intelligent young people will continue to flood into journalism in urgent search of jobs, despite its high demands and low pay.
60.The underlined word “deadwood” (in Paragraph 2) may refer to “_____”. A. the staff who are going to retire B. workers who are experienced
C. people who are no longer useful or needed D. reporters who are tired of covering events
61.Who will be the real loser if newspapers lose according to the passage? A. Publishers. B. Readers. C. Editors. D. Writers. 62. What can we learn from the passage? A. All the medium could report news deeply.
B. The editors and publishers have found a good way to make huge profits.
C. The cuts in newspaper’s size would reduce the number of readers. D. Online news has no threat to the newspaper.
C
A 51-year-old lawyer has moved back to stay with his mother — after giving up his Los Angeles home to a family of strangers for a year.
Tony Tolbert looked for a family in need after his father set a good example when he was growing up by always welcoming people to stay in their spare room. “You don’t have to be Bill Gates or Warren Buffet or Oprah,” Tolbert told CBS. “We can do it wherever we are, with whatever we have, and for me, I have a house that I can use.” His mother, Marie Tolbert, added, “He is so kind and he’s always been helping others.”
Tolbert went to Alexandria House, a shelter for homeless women and children, and came across Felicia Dukes, who lived in a single bedroom with three of her children. Her family had been separated as the shelter was just for children and her eldest son was unable to join them. Tolbert told the staff that he wanted to bring the family back together, and offered them his home.
The family has now moved into the three-bedroom, two-bathroom home—with Felicia Dukes’ oldest son. It is worth nearly $400,000, according to online estimates (评估). “I am so excited,” Felicia Dukes said, as she wiped away her tears.
The heartwarming story comes after a report that 10-year-old Gracie McNulty, from England, served Christmas dinners to 50 homeless people, achieving her father’s last Christmas wish.
Her father Craig, 38, was a charity volunteer who had served breakfast to the homeless on Boxing Day. But as a roofer, he suffered serious head injuries when he fell down from the roof. He was taken to a hospital by air ambulance but died soon after the accident in August.
“It’s been the best Christmas,” Gracie said. “I was just at school feeling sad and then I wanted to do something to make him proud and this may be the perfect thing.”
63. According to the passage, which of the following is TRUE?
A. Felicia Dukes lived in Alexandria House with all her children. B. Alexandria House is a place for those poor people.
C. Tony Tolbert offered his house to the family of Felicia Dukes.
D. Tony Tolbert donated $400,000 to help those poor people. 64. What might be Craig’s last Christmas wish? A. He wanted his daughter to be a roofer.
B. He asked his daughter to learn from Tolbert. C. He still wanted to help the poor at Christmas.
D. He persuaded his daughter to work hard at school. 65. Gracie felt sad at school probably because .
A. she missed her father very much B. she failed in her exams
C. she couldn’t offer help to others D. she didn’t achieve her father’s dream
66. What is the author’s purpose in writing this passage? A. To explain some puzzling events.
B. To call on people to help others in need. C. To tell two inspiring stories.
D. To show there are still many poor people.
D

Writing a news article is different from writing other articles or informational pieces，because news articles present information in a specific way. 71 And additionally you can exercise your writing skills and convey information clearly and concisely. 1 .Start with the lead.
72 News articles begin with a leading sentence that is meant to grab the readers' attention and interest them. This is one of the most important parts of the piece，so start with the good stuff when writing a news article. Let your readers know what your news article is about，why it's important，and what the rest of the article will contain.
2. Give all the important details.
The next important step to writing news articles is including all the relevant facts and details that relate to your lead statement. Include the basics of what
happened，where and when it took place，who is involved and why it's newsworthy. 73
3. Follow up main facts with additional information.
After you've listed all the primary facts in your news article，include any additional information that might help the reader learn more，such as contact information，additional facts about the topic or people involved，or quotes from interviews. This additional information helps round out the article and can help you switch to new points as you move along.
A good news article will list facts and information. 74 To attract your readers，you should provide enough information that anyone reading your news article can make an informed opinion，even if it contrasts with yours. 4. 75 Congratulate your readers for sticking with you to the end by giving the reader something to take away，like potential solutions to the problem or challenges expressed in your article.
Make sure your news article is complete and finished by giving it a good
concluding sentence.This is often a restatement of the leading statement(thesis) or a statement indicating potential future developments relating to the article topic. A. These details are important，because they are the central point of the article. B. It's important to convey all the important information in limited words to your targeted audience. C. Conclude your article.
D. Begin with a strong leading sentence.
E. Knowing how to write a news article can help you expand a journalism career. F. Stick to the end.
G. A great news article will be connected with readers on an emotional level.

I’m sorry to hear that you have been ill for days and hope you have got better now.
You have studied so hard that you have had no time for exercise. This is harmful for your health. I feel it would be more beneficial to your health if you could take more exercise in future.
Exercise can improve your physical constitution and refresh the mind. After one or more hours of exercise you can study better. Otherwise your study will be interrupted from time to time by tiredness or sickness.
I am not advertising you to devote all your time to exercise. What I want to say is that exercise is as useful and important as your study. I hope you can take at least one hour’s exercise every day after you have recovered. I would be more than happy to see you have a stronger body.
Sincerely yours,
John
