This was an unforgettable and wonderful experience.It happened about three years ago and it has had a  36 effect on me.I would like to show respect here for the two men I do not know  37  but whose actions gave a new  38 to the words — kind and generous.
I was walking down a busy street on a cold, windy day in early  39 , A homeless man, probably about 60 and without wearing any shoes , was  40 for change on a street corner.
A BMW car  41 on the other side of the street and an executive(主管)who was perfectly dressed stepped out of the car.He was probably about  42 years old.He was wearing a blue business suit with a deep red silk tie.He walked  43 across the street and over to the homeless man.Without saying anything, he first gave him a lot of  44  and then he sat down and took off his leather gloves(手套), beautiful black leather shoes and his black dress socks.Then he   45 them to the homeless man.The homeless man took them and stared with a/an  46 mouth.
As he drove off, I couldn’t   47 thinking that it was probably the first time he had  48 the pedal(踏板)of that top-brand BMW car with a   49  foot! I stood there and the looks of   50 appeared on my face and the homeless man’s.
Two men of about the same age  51 very different lives had met and the one who was  52 in materials had offered  53 than his shoes.He had left this BMW car and   54 down from his high position.He lifted up the other man when he offered respect,   55 and real generosity.

请认真阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
Blind from birth, I have never had the opportunity to see myself and have been completely dependent on the image I create in the eyes of others.
There are those who   36   that since I can’t see, I obviously also cannot   37 . Very often people will talk with me at the top of their lungs. Conversely to this, people will also often   38 , assuming that since my eyes don’t work, my ears don’t either. For example, when I go to the airport and ask the ticket agent for   39 to the plane, he or she will always pick up the phone and call a ground hostess in a very low voice. "Hi, Jane, wave got a 76 here." I have concluded that the word "  40 " is not used because they are unwilling to inform me of my condition of which I may not have been previously   41 .
On the other hand, others know that of course I can hear, but believe that I can’t talk. Once I became ill and was hospitalized. Immediately after I was    42 , I was wheeled down to the X-ray room. Just at the door sat an elderly woman(judging from  her voice) asked the orderly(护工) who had been wheeling me:" What is your name?" “What’s your name?” the orderly   43  to me. "Harold Krents", I replied. "Harold Krents", he repeated. "When was he born?" "When were you born?"…This continued for about five minutes before I finally interrupted, "Look, this is absolutely  44  . OK, I can’t see, but it’s go to become pretty  45  to both of you that I don’t need an interpreter(翻译)." “He says he doesn’t  need an interpreter," the orderly reported to the woman.  
The   46  misconception of all is the view that because I cant see, I can’t  47 . I was turned down by over forty law firms,   48  my qualifications included a cum laude degree from Harvard Law School. The  49 to find jobs, the continuous   50 of being told that it was impossible for a blind person to   51 law, the rejection letter, not based on my lack of   52  but rather on my disability, will always remain one of the most upsetting experiences of my life.
  53 , the Department of Labor issued laws that demand equal  54 opportunities for the disabled. The business community’s response has been   55 . The attitude towards the disabled is beginning to change.

I looked down. There were rivers, trees, fields and houses. I heard the soft sound of the air. This was   55  .

请认真阅读下列短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
When Janet, a grade two student at a well-known school, was pestered(纠缠) by her classmates to join their group to steal from shops, she was shocked. She was a quiet, well-behaved girl and she did not understand why the girls had approached her.
They showed her some of the things they had stolen and said that shop theft was great fun and very exciting. Then they threatened to beat Janet if she did not join them.
Janet was deeply troubled. She did her best to avoid the group of the girls after class­es, but they often waited for her outside the school and tried to persuade her to come with them.
This problem is one which many school students in Hong Kong face. We asked the chairman of the local-fight-crime committee what Janet should do in these cases.
“First of all, she could try to talk the other girls out of the whole thing. Being caught stealing from shops could ruin their futures and it is simply not worth the risk,” he said.
“Young people may think that it is easy to get away with stealing from shops, but more and more stores now have plain clothes detectives who are dressed like customers. I would say shop thieves have a more than ninety percent chance of being caught.”
“If they won’t listen to her, Janet should go to someone in charge in school, who can then decide if the matter can be dealt with by her or whether it is necessary to report the incident to the police.”
56. From the first three paragraphs we can learn that ____________.
A. Janet didn’t know what to do with the case
B. Janet faced the group bravely
C. the group stole a lot of things
D. the group were short of money
57. The underlined part “talk the other girls out of the whole thing” means ____________.
A. discuss the possible result with them
B. tell them about their futures
C. persuade them to stop theft
D. warn them not to disturb her
58. One of the suggestions to Janet is to ____________.
A. report the situation to the police
B. ask the local-fight-crime committee for advice
C. hire a detective to catch them
D. turn to her teacher for help

It was getting dark and snow was coming down. Joe was driving home. He’d been unemployed since the factory closed. Most of his friends had left, but he stayed on. After all, he was born here.
Suddenly he saw a lady standing on the side of the road and pulled up. She was worried. No one had stopped to help her. Was he going to hurt her? He looked poor and hungry. Joe knew how she felt and said, “My name is Joe and I’m here to help you.” All she had was a flat tire, but for an old lady, that was bad enough. Joe changed the tire, but he got dirty and his hands were hurt. She wanted to pay Joe and said any amount would have been all right. Joe never thought twice about the money and there were plenty who had given him a hand in the past. He had lived his whole life that way. He told her that if she really wanted to pay him back, the next time she saw someone who needed help, she could give that person the assistance that they needed.
Later the lady went in a dingy-looking restaurant to grab a bite to eat. The cash register was like the telephone of an out-of-work actor----it didn’t ring much. The waitress, who was nearly eight months pregnant, brought a clean towel to her with a sweet smile. The old lady remembered Joe. After the waitress brought the change from a 100-dollar bill, she found the lady gone and something written on a piece of paper, “Someone once helped me out----the way I’m helping you. If you really want to pay me back, don’t let the chain of love end with you.”
That night the waitress gave her sleeping husband a soft kiss and whispered, “Everything’s going to be all right. I love you, Joe.”

A.On his way home after work, he helped an old lady.
B.He had worked in a factory in his hometown before.
C.He would move away to fulfill his dream soon.
D.Though he was poor, he didn’t care about money at all.
小题2:The saying “she wanted to pay Joe and said any amount would have been all right” in Paragraph 2 suggests that _____.
A.the old lady was very grateful to Joe’s timely aid
B.the old lady was much worried to be hurt by Joe
C.the old lady wanted to show off her fortune to Joe
D.the old lady’s car was very difficult to repair for Joe
