A while ago my family and I went sledding(滑雪橇) and as I watched my children climbing up the slope I started thinking. Many people are convinced that most of today’s 1problems are because of the “me” generation. Youngsters are just out for themselves and pay no 2to others or their needs. Indeed, a common belief is that today’s youngsters won’t do anything 3there is something in it for them. Yet, while sledding, I saw a 4side. I watched my two oldest children (then five and four) take my youngest(then two years old)by the hand to help her up the slippery slope 5they went up. They would have been 6without her, but not once did they try to sneak （溜掉）by her without helping. And when the sled 7my two daughters was aimed toward the edge, it was my five year old son who ran to them to 8them from falling and hurting themselves. These children sometimes 9among themselves and, on occasion, behave horribly. But I can 10them shopping and know that they won’t ask for anything, I can talk to them about tsunami or hurricane victims and know that they will offer to 11some of their own money to the cause, and I can ask them to play with those children 12on the sideline(作为旁观者) and know that they will befriend（照顾）them. Perhaps, therefore, the “me” generation is to blame 13much of society’s problems—not the youngsters who want everything, 14the adults who have taught them to selfishly 15only of themselves. Most adults have been 16at some time or another, sadly, many 17that disappointment down to their children. Then the children learn to put themselves first! Most young children want to help. We can 18that feeling by teaching the lesson my children learned while sledding: Life is a slippery slope with 19of bumps(撞伤) and bruises(擦伤), but we can all make it to the 20if we remember to help those who need it. 1.A.social B.private C.serious D.slight 2.A.thought B.attention C.permission D.pleasure 3.A.if B.as C.while D.unless 4.A.same B.different C.strange D.moral 5.A.some time B.any time C.each time D.the time 6.A.faster B.slower C.easier D.lighter 7.A.containing B.loading C.driving D.carrying 8.A.avoid B.stop C.help D.warn 9.A.cry B.cooperate C.assist D.fight 10.A.take B.drive C.accompany D.guide 11.A.lend B.send C.collect D.pay 12.A.forgotten B.missed C.left D.ignored 13.A.of B.within C.on D.for 14.A.and B.but C.thus D.though 15.A.consider B.speak C.believe D.think 16.A.depressed B.surprised C.disappointed D.embarrassed 17.A.extend B.intend C.pass D.spread 18.A.encourage B.strengthen C.discourage D.approach 19.A.opportunities B.occasions C.promises D.fates 20.A.top B.bottom C.middle D.tip

When Paul was a boy growing up in Utah, he happened to live near a copper smelter(炼铜厂), and the chemicals that poured out had made a wasteland out of what used to be a beautiful forest. One day a young visitor looked at this wasteland and called it an awful area. Paul knocked him down. From then on, something happened inside him. Years later Paul was back in the area, and he went to the smelter office. He asked if they had any plans or if they would let him try to bring the trees back. The answer from that big industry was “No.” Paul then went to college to study the science of plants. Unfortunately, his teachers said there weren't any birds or squirrels to spread the seeds. It would be a waste of his life to try to do it. Everyone knew that, he was told. Even if he was knowledgeable as he had expected, he wouldn’t get his idea accepted. Paul later got married and had some kids. But his dream would not die. And then one night he did what he could with what he had. As Samuel Johnson wrote, “It is common to overlook what is near by keeping the eye fixed on something remote. Attainable good is often ignored by minds busied in wide ranges.” Under the cover of darkness, he went secretly into the wasteland and started planting. And every week, he made his secret journey into the wasteland and planted trees and grass. For fifteen years he did this against the plain common sense. Slowly rabbits appeared. Later, as there was legal pressure to clean up the environment, the company actually hired Paul to do what he was already doing. Now the place is fourteen thousand acres of trees and grass and bushes, and Paul has received almost every environmental award Utah has. It took him until his hair turned white, but he managed to keep that impossible vow he made to himself as a child. 1.When Paul was a boy, _____. A. he had decided never to leave his hometown B. the economy of Utah depended wholly on the copper smelter C. no laws were made to protect the environment against pollution D. he had determined to stop the copper smelter polluting the area 2.Why did Paul go to college to study the science of plants? A. He wanted to find out the best way to save the area himself. B. He was interested in planting trees since he was young. C. He wanted to get more knowledgeable people to help him. D. He thought his knowledge would make his advice more persuasive. 3.What does the underlined phrase “the plain common sense” probably refer to? A. That it was impossible for trees to grow on the wasteland. B. That his normal work and life would be greatly affected. C. That no one would like to join him in the efforts. D. That he had to keep everything he did secret. 4.The message of the passage is that _____. A. action speaks louder than words B. perseverance(持之以恒) will work wonders C. God helps those who help themselves D. many hands make light work

BUKHANNON, West Virginia—Two rescue teams slowly moved along a two-mile path on Monday night to the site of a coal mine explosion that trapped 13 miners, who had not been heard from since the early morning accident. Meanwhile, at a nearby church, more than 250 family members and friends gathered, waiting for updates（最新报道）on the rescuers’ progress. The miners were trapped at about 6:30 and many families weren’t informed of the accident until about 10 a.m-more than three hours after it happened. “It’s very upsetting, but you’ve got to be patient, I guess,” said John Helms, whose brother, Terry, was trapped in the mine. The trapped miners were about 260 feet underground and about 10,000 feet from the Sago Mine’s entrance, said Roger Nicholson, general counsel from International Coal Group. At a late night news conference, Nicholson said one team had advanced about 4,800 feet in the four hours since entering the mine just before 6 p.m. Another team entered the mine about 30 minutes later. He said the crew was very experienced, with some members having worked underground for 30 to 35 years. The miners were equipped with about one hour of breathable oxygen each. The company has not released the names of the miners. The teams test the air about every 500 feet, and have to disconnect (remove) the power to the phones they use to communicate with the surface before doing that. “We don’t want to be energizing anything if it’s in an atmosphere with burnable gases,” Kips said. The cause of the explosion was not immediately known. High levels of carbon monoxide were detected shortly after the explosion, which delayed rescue efforts, but those levels have since subsided（减退）, authorities said. 1.According to the passage, we can infer that ______. A. all the miners who were trapped underground were still alive B. communication with the trapped miners was cut off C. the two rescue teams entered the mine at the same time D. the rescue started as soon as the accident happened 2.If the first team advanced at an average speed, they could dig about ______ per hour. A. 1,000 feet B. 2,400 feet C. 1,200 feet D. 4,800 feet 3.Where can the passage be seen? A. In a magazine. B. In a newspaper. C. In a science book.. D. On an advertisement. 4.Which of the following shows the position where the miners were trapped?

Dear Mr. Barton, I am writing for the residents’ association (业主协会) to inform you of our feelings about your act. We’ve really had enough of you. Although we have tried to speak to you politely on several occasions, you have always answered with a stream of verbal abuse(辱骂). Ever since you moved in three months ago, you have shown very little consideration for the other residents of this building, though many residents expressed their unhappiness with you. For the past six weekends, you have held very noisy parties, which have not finished until early the next morning. As you know, most of the people here are elderly or have very young children, and the noise keeps them awake all night. You don’t have to be so noisy, do you? Last weekend the situation deteriorated when two of your friends fought with each other on the first floor. The fighting was so bad that the police had to be called. What’s more, your friends left the stairs in a terrible state --- they even broke two windows on their way out! We feel that we can’t bear this type of act. We strongly demand that you pay for this damage to the window soon. If you don’t and you carry on being a nuisance(令人讨厌的人或物). We will kick you out! Legal steps will be taken if necessary.
Yours sincerely, Resident 1.What does the writer feel? A. Excited B. surprised C. Angry D. Happy 2.What does the word “deteriorated” mean? A. Changed B. Improved C. Moved D. Worsened 3.What is the main purpose of the letter? A. To ask Mr. Barton to leave the building for the peace. B. To inform Mr. Barton of the noise he made. C. To talk about what Mr. Barton did. D. To give a warning to Mr. Barton. 4.What is true according to the letter? A. Mr. Barton paid no attention to the others’ unhappiness. B. Mr. Barton never replied to the others’ unhappiness C. Mr. Barton always said sorry to those unhappy with him. D. Mr. Barton never apologized to the other residents.

1.Being angry doesn’t really solve much, but what people do when they feel angry is important. The goal is to calm down and try to solve what is bothering you. This is hard for some kids and adults, too. Instead of calming down, some kids might keep getting more and more upset until they explode like a volcano! 2.Their anger might be so strong that they lose control of their temper. They may act in ways unacceptable and hurtful. People may say that someone has trouble controlling their temper. 3. Some kids might get so angry that they scream at their parents, break something, or even worse, hit their brothers and sisters. 4.However, it’s not OK for a kid to do any of those things. Kids don’t want to act in this way, but sometimes angry feelings can be hard to manage. So what to do? Well, the good news is that kids don’t just have to keep making the same mistakes over and over again. 5.Imagine your temper as a puppy inside you that needs some training. The puppy is not bad-it will probably turn out a great dog. It just needs to learn some rules because, right now, that puppy is causing some problems to you. A. You can train your temper. B. You don’t want to cause trouble. C. Kids should be allowed to express their feelings, even angry ones. D. Everybody gets angry sometimes. E. In fact, they usually mean that a kid behaves badly when feeling angry. F. Instead of thinking of the person you are angry with, think of something else. G. Some kids get angry more often or more easily than some others.
