My name is Liu Fang. For a long time, I dreamed of doing something in Western China and last year after I left my college, I became a volunteer (志愿者) teacher. It has changed my life completely!
I traveled a long way from Yangkang Railway Station to a small village by bus in the noth part of Qinghai province. On my way there, I thought about the village, the school, the first day and  the children there. However, my heart sank (沉下) when I arrived there. It wasn't what I thought of. It didn't look like a school at all! How small it was! The school had only three rooms, one for Grades 1, 2 and 3, and the other for Grades 4, 5 and 6. There was a third classroom for me.   
The children welcomed me warmly on my first day. They asked me a lot of questions and I told them stories about myself and my life in Shanghai. The next day, I gave them a test to find out their level (水平). To my surprise, over half of the students didn’t pass the test, but they all wanted to learn new things. 
I spent many nights getting ready for the lessons, reading test papers and marking homework. I enjoyed teaching these lovely and hardworking children, and I could see that they were making progress (进步) with my help. I have also learned a lot from them. I understand their lives better, and I realized that they really needed me a lot.
I have worked in the village for a year now. I'm very happy and the experience has been very useful for me. Now I know how to look after myself. I love the children. In fact, I would like to go on working here.
小题1:Is Liu Fang a college student now?
小题2:What did Liu Fang think of the school when she saw it?
小题3:How was she getting on with the children?
小题4:What did she think of her work experience in the village?
小题5:Why does she want to go on working there?

小题1:No, she isn’t. / No.                                            
小题2: It was too small. / It wasn’t like a school.
小题3:She was getting on well with them. / Very well
小题4: It was useful.
小题5:Because the students need her and she loves them.

试题分析:
小题1:通过 I dreamed of doing something in Western China and last year after I left my college,一句可知,现在她已经不再是一名大学生了,故回答No,she isn’t。/No。
小题2:根据It didn't look like a school at all! How small it was!可知,她认为它一点不像学校。它太小了。所以回答It was too small. / It wasn’t like a school.。
小题3:通过阅读最后一段可知,刘芳和学生相处的很好,故填She was getting on well with them. / Very well。
小题4:根据I'm very happy and the experience has been very useful for me可知,本题应该回答为It was useful.
小题5:通过 I realized that they really needed me a lot.和 I love the children.可知,之所以作者要继续留在这里教书,这就是原因。故填Because the students need her and she loves them.
点评:本题的意思比较容易,但是对于本题中的五个小题的回答并不容易,如果考虑欠缺,就会回答不全面,特别是第5小题。另外,第3小题也需要根据文章加以推测。总之,本题是有一定难度的。

Millions of young people are writing blogs. Millions of others are reading them. The word“blog”is a short way of saying Web log.
Many popular Web sites now offer free,easy ways to create personal Web pages and fill them with writings and pictures. Web sites called “ Facebook ” and “MySpace” are some of the most popular blog sites for young people. Many young adults use their blogs to write about daily activities and events in their lives. They also provide a place for people to write their ideas and opinions and how they think of others’ ideas.
Blogs offer young people a place to show their writings and feelings. They can also be helpful to connect young people with others. But blogs can become dangerous when they are read on the Internet by millions of people all over the world.
Recent studies show that young people often provide their names, age and where they live on the Internet. That may not be safe for them. This personal information puts them at risk(风险)of being searched out by dangerous people who want to hurt them. Many students do not know about privacy(隐私)and are surprised to learn that adults can read their personal daily records easily. Students can also get into trouble when they put information about others on their blogs.
As a result, many schools have banned (禁止) the use of blogging Web sites on school computers. Many schools have also begun teaching parents about the Web sites. Parents should know what their children are doing online and should read their blogs to make sure they are not giving out private information. One way to keep away from these problems is to use programs so that blogs can be read by “friends only”. People can read the website only if they know a secret word chosen by the blogger.
小题1:“Facebook”and“MySpace”are         .
A.school subjectsB.computer programmes
C.school online BBSD.blog sites for young people
小题2:Blogs may be dangerous because         .
A.they get in the way of studies
B.they are not allowed for school students
C.surfing the Internet is bad for eyes
D.personal information can be found in blogs easily
小题3:This passage is mainly about        .
A.the safety of children’s blogs
B.how to search the Internet
C.students’ behavior at school
D.communicating with parents at home
小题4:According to the passage,many schools help children avoid(避免) blog problems by doing everything EXCEPT        .
A.teaching parents about the Web sites
B.asking students to use programs to refuse strangers
C.telling school students not to make any net friends
D.stopping students from blogging on school computers
小题5:You can enjoy your blog safely if        .
A.you write your blog at school
B.use a secret number for friends to enter your blog
C.your parents have little knowledge about websites
D.you show all your writings and feelings in your blog

One of sweetest memories as a child is of going down to the river and sitting comfortably on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream and listen to songs of birds. I would also watch the bamboo trees bend under the pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their original state after the wind had died down.
When I think about the bamboo tree’s ability to bend and move back, the word “resilience” comes to my mind. When it is used for a person, this word means the ability to readily recover(恢复) from shock, sadness or any other suffering. Have you ever felt like you were going to snap? Have you ever felt like you were at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived to talk about it.
Life is a mixture(混合) of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend, but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you.
An amount of hope will take you through the unpleasant suffering. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem. The unpleasant suffering may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having.
If things get tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the bamboo trees, bend, but don’t break!
小题1:What does the word “snap” in the second paragraph most probably mean?
A.breakB.change
C.winD.Complain
小题2:What can help people get through sufferings according to the writer?
A.Holding peace and quiet in mind.B.Waiting until sufferings disappear.
C.Experiencing more bad times.D.Hoping for a better tomorrow.
小题3:What would be the best title of this passage?
A.Memories of BambooB.Be Like Bamboo
C.Enjoying BambooD.Characteristics of Bamboo

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn(谷仓), they found a mouse hole in a corner and they used smoke to force the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had ran away. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing(挤)out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away.
After seeing what happened, everyone was silent and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard." The others thought for a while and said: "That was why!"
A smart French said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife." Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it meaningful.
A Japanese said: "I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son." Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked: "Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?"
Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and didn't say any words. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shyness, and did not dare to answer.
In fact, the true love is not built on friendship, loyalty(忠诚) or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
小题1:Neither of the two mice ran away immediately because_______.
A.one was trying to help the blind oneB.one was biting the other
C.the mouth of the hole was too smallD.they were not afraid of smoke
小题2:Why did they lower their heads in shyness according to the passage?
A. Because they did not dare to answer.
B. Because they regretted(后悔)driving a poor blind mouse away.
C. Because they had mistaken the relationship of the mice.
D, Because they did not express themselves much better.
小题3:It is clear that_______.
A.all the mice came out of the hole easily
B.each of the people understood the relationship differently
C.the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke
D.the people knew one of the mice was blind at the first sight
小题4:The best title for the passage is_______.
A.Two lovely miceB.Help produces loveC.Love is allD.Friends in need

Lucky is an    14   dog. I’ll send you a photo of him if you like, and I could show you how he helps me too one day. And so I thank you again for supporting “Animal Helpers”.

In recent years advances in medical technology have made it possible for people to live longer than in the past. New medicines and instruments are being developed every day to extend(延长)life. However,some people,including some doctors, are not in favour of these life extending measures,and they argue that people should have the right to die when they want. They say that the quality of life is as important as life itself,and that people should not be forced to go on living when conditions of life have become unbearable(不能忍受的.
