Whenever we hear about “the homeless”, most of us think of the Developing World. But the    26     is that homeless is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect to see people living on the streets of a    27    country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making    28   for the homeless of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first    29     one long hot summer when most Germans were     30     on holidays. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches,  31    a table in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t   32  . “What these people also need is warmth and    33  ,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t    34    to give their phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita    35   there was somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always    36   to anyone who couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon    37   all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing companies to   38  donations. Today, over thirty companies   39   donate food and other goods to the cause and volunteers help to   40   them to the homeless. The public also give clothes and money and a shoe producer   41  new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no   42    for their hard work.. “We feel like parents,” says Rita, “and parents shouldn’t    43    money for helping their children. The love we get on the street is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets   44   , she says she will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a  45   in the world.

科目:高中英语 来源:不详 题型:阅读理解

A few days ago we – that’s me and the husband – took a cab to the station. Chat with the driver fell to the wrong of cyclists, and the misunderstanding of the road rules. So far as the rules of the road go, there seems to be one basic principle: when you are driving a car you hate bikes, when you are riding a bike you hate cars (and I guess walkers hate everyone). 
There is an obvious difference of viewpoint built in here. It wasn’t until I started to drive a car (almost 20years after I had first rode a bike) that I actually realized that you could not see a cyclist at night without lights. In fact I now want to shout at late night cyclists without lights(like motortists once did at me): “You’ll get killed, sunshine, I can’t see you.”
The problem is that cyclists do ride headlong into danger. It's not just not having lights. It’s biking on pavements (and so threatening to injure a load of innocent walkers in the process) and biking down one-way streets the wrong way.
I admit that I do bike the wrong way down a one-way street sometimes. My feeble(软弱无力) defense is that I try always to do it as if I know I was doing wrong. That is slowly, with an apologetic look on the face, and ready to get off at any minute. I can’t bear the guys(一伙人) (usually, but not always it is guys) who do it as if they owned the place, and at high speed.
So cyclists are not entirely innocent. But they are among the disadvantaged groups, because the bottom line is that a car or a lorry can kill a cyclist and not the other way around.
小题1:When did the writer realize the danger for late night cyclists without lights?
A.Not until she became a driver herself.
B.Not until she had driven a car for 20 years.
C.After she was shouted at by a motorist.
D.After she was once knocked down by a group of guys.
小题2:When the writer biked the wrong way down a one way street, she felt_________.
A.angryB.guiltyC.innocentD.proud
小题3:Which group is most likely to face danger according to the writer?
A.walkers B.passers-byC.cyclists D.motorists
小题4:What can we learn about the writer?
A.She often took a cab with her husband.
B.She has been a motorist for over 20 years.
C.She used to ride a bike without lights at night.
D.She often biked the wrong way down a one way street.

My l4-year-old son, John, and I spotted the coat at the same time in a second-hand clothing store. It stood out among big and old coats. It had beautiful tailoring and an unbelievable price: $28. I looked at my son and we both said nothing, but John’s eyes shone. Dark, woolen topcoats were popular with teenage boys, but they could cost several hundred dollars new. This coat was even better. John tried it on and turned from side to side, eyeing himself in the mirror. The fit was perfect.
John wore the coat to school the next day and came home with a big grin. “Did the kids like your coat?” I asked. “They loved it,” he said.
Over the next few weeks, John changed. He was polite, less argumentative, more thoughtful, and on the whole much happier. “Good dinner, mom,” he would say every evening. Without a word of objection he would carry in wood for the stove. One day when I suggested that he might start on his homework before dinner, John, who always put things off, said: “You’re right. I guess I will.” When I mentioned this incident to one of his teachers, she joked that the coat must have changed him.
John and I both know we should never mistake a person’s clothes for the real person within them. But there is something to be said for wearing a standard of excellence for the world to see, for practicing standards of excellence in thought, speech, and behavior, and for matching what is on the inside to what is on the outside. 
小题1:What does the author try to express in the first paragraph?
A.The coat looked like a magical coat.
B.They were good at shopping.
C.The coat was a real bargain.
D.They had the same taste in clothes.
小题2:What does the underlined word “grin” in Paragraph 2 probably mean?
A.A wide smile.B.A worried look.
C.A jealous spirit.D.A joking tone.
小题3:After John wore the new coat, the author found he _______.
a. was happier and better-behaved
b. received more praise from his teachers
c. was willing to follow suggestions
d. made rapid progress in study
e. would say sweet words to please her
A.a, b, cB.a, c, eC.b, d, eD.c, d, e
小题4:What message does the author intend to deliver in the article?
A.We should not judge people by their appearance.
B.Life is full of possibilities when we are young.
C.It’s beneficial to try different things in our lives.
D.What we wear could help shape who we are inside.

Perhaps the only test score that I remember is the 41. I was in high school. The test was the final for the class. It was a rather  36 test. I didn’t know how  37 I had done but I knew there were things on   38  that I didn’t know.
I remember   39   waiting for the result. When Mr. Bales  40 my paper on my desk, I was   41   . There in big  42  numbers, circled to draw attention, was my grade — 41! I  43 my paper so that others couldn’t see it. A 41 was not   44  that you wanted your classmates to see. Finally, Mr. Bales stood behind the desk and   45  the class. “The grades were not very good;   46 of you passed,” he announced. “ The highest grade in the class was a 41, so all of you failed.”
A 41. That was me. Suddenly my dismal(阴沉的) face didn’t look quite so bad. I had the highest grade. I felt a lot   47  . As soon as I got home, my mother asked me, “How did you do on your test?” “I made a 41,” I said. My mother’s    48  changed suddenly. “You failed.” “But I had the highest grade in the class!” I replied. “ I don’t    49  what everyone else had. You failed. It doesn’t matter if everyone else failed too; what matters is what you do,” my mother  50  answered.
For years, I thought that was a harsh judgment. My mother was always that 51 . It didn’t matter what the other kids did; it only mattered what I did and  52 I did it excellently.
We often don’t understand the wisdom of good parents until we ourselves stand   53 the parenting shoes. My mother’s philosophy(人生态度)has   54   me throughout life. The path of the crowd is wide but the path to pass the tests of life is   55  and there are very few people on it.

On Jan 23, 2012, I was aboard a ship on the Yangtze River, listening to the sound of fireworks and eating plate after plate of dumplings.
On Sunday Feb 10, 2013, I was preparing to celebrate Chinese New Year again – in London’s Chinatown.
It was raining. It was cold. But ever since I left Beijing in August, I had promised myself I would celebrate Chinese New Year – if only to help with my Beijing “homesickness”.
Central London was dressed up for the occasion. There was a stage for a big fireworks display for the evening. Even so, it wasn’t like my real Beijing chunjie.
Even buying a baozi didn’t cheer me up. It cost about 10 times as much as the real thing does in Beijing and got stuck to its rain-ruined paper bag.
Cold, wet and depressed, I ran into a shop for shelter. Suddenly, there it was. Between the packets of dried meat and fish, the bags of rice and the smell of dried noodles in this little Chinese supermarket, I had found home.
An hour later, I hurried into my house with bags of frozen jiaozi, packets of sauce and a large bottle of vinegar. I boiled water, tore open the packets, grabbed my chopsticks and settled down to a feast. This, I thought, is a Happy Chinese New Year.
I even watched the fireworks on TV. After all, why face the British weather when I can bring China home in one bite?
小题1: We can conclude from the first three paragraphs that the author ______.
A.likes watching fireworks on the boat
B.misses Chinese food more than anything else
C.finds it great fun to celebrate Chinese New Year
D.misses her life in Beijing very much
小题2:How did the author feel when she found some Chinese foods in a supermarket?
A.a little curious B.rather tired
C.a bit comfortable D.very depressed
小题3:Why did the author watch the fireworks on TV?
A.She didn’t want to get wet and cold again.
B.The square is far away from where she lives.
C.She doesn’t like fireworks very much.
D.She was too hungry to go out.
小题4:What is the best title of the passage?
A.Unforgettable Chunjie in Beijing B.Wonderful Experience in Britain
C.Finding Home in London D.Festival in London

On the first day of class, Mr. Whiteson gave us a lecture about a creature(生物) called cattytiger, a kind of cat-like animal that completely disappeared during the Ice Age. He passed round a skull (头骨) as he talked, and we all felt interested and took notes while listening. Later, we had a test about that.
When he returned my paper, I was very, very surprised. There was a very large cross through each of my answers. And so it was with everyone else's in our class.
What had happened? Everyone was wondering and couldn't wait to get the answer.
Very simple, Mr. Whiteson explained. He had made up all that story about the cattytiger. There had never been such an animal. So why none of us noticed that and how could we expect good marks for the incorrect answers?
Needless to say, we got very angry. What kind of teacher was this?
We should have guessed it out, Mr. Whiteson said. After all, at the very moment he was passing around the cattytiger skull (in fact, a cat's), hadn't he been telling us that it completely disappeared during the Ice Age? Clearly he was telling a lie. But we just kept busy making notes and none used his head. We should learn something from this. Teachers and textbooks are not always correct.
小题1:We failed in the test because we didn't ______.
A.take notes while listening
B.show interest in what Mr. Whiteson said
C.listen to the teacher carefully
D.think carefully
小题2:We got angry because ______.
A.Mr. Whiteson didn't tell us the truth about cattytiger
B.we failed in the test
C.we didn't know why he played the joke on us
D.there was no cattytiger
小题3:We didn't find out it was a lie for ______.
A.we simply believed our teacher very much
B.we took notes carelessly
C.we hadn't watched the skull carefully enough
D.Mr. Whiteson spoke too fast
小题4:Mr. Whiteson meant that ______.
A.teachers couldn't make any mistakes
B.textbooks might be wrong sometimes
C.we should speak up if we thought our teacher or the textbook was wrong
D.we shouldn't believe our teachers because sometimes they might tell lies

Going green seems to be a fad(时尚) for a lot of people these days.Whether that is good or bad,we can’t really say, but for the two of us, going green is not a fad but a life style.
On April 22,2011,we decided to be green every single day for an entire year. This meant doing 365 different things, and it also meant challenging ourselves to go green beyond the easy things. Rather than recycle and reduce our energy, we had to think of 365 diffenent things to do and this was no easy task.
With the idea of going green every single day a year,Our Greean Year started. My wife and I decided to educate people about how they could go green in their lives and hoped we could show people all green things that could be done to help the environment. We wanted to push the message that every little bit helps.
Over the course of Our Green Year, we completely changed our lifestyles. We now shop at organic(有机的) stores. We consume less meat,choosing green food. We have greatly reduced our buying we don’t need. We have given away half of what we owned through websites.Our home is kept clean by vinegar and lemon juice, with no chemical cleaners. We make our own butter, enjoying the smell of home-made fresh bread. In our home office anyone caught doing something ungreen might be punished.
Our minds have been changed by Our Green Year. We are grateful for the chance to have been able to go green and educate others. We believe that we do have the power to change things and help our planets.
