One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked, “Just a minute,” answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It’s nothing,” I told her. “I justtry to treat my passengers the way I would w ant my mother treated.”“Oh, you’re such a good man.” She said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“It’s not the shortest way,” I answered quickly.“Oh, I’m in no hurry,” she said. “I’m on my way to a hospice(临终医院).I don’t have any family left. The doctor says I don’t have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter(计价器).For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom whe re she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she’d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenl y said,” I’m tired. Let’s go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?” she asked.“Nothing.” I said.“You have to make a living,” she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,”I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto e tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”23. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.A. show she was familiar with the cityB. see some places for the last timeC. let the driver earn more moneyD. reach the destination on time24. The taxi driver did not charge the old woman because he ______.A. wanted to do her a favorB. shut off the meter by mistakeC. had received her payment in advanceD. was in a hurry to take other passengers25. What can w e learn from the story?A. Giving is always a pleasure.B. People should respect each other.C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.D. People should learn to appre ciate others’ concern.CWhen we can see well, we do not think about our eyes very often. It is only when we cannot see perfectly that we come to see how important our eyes are.People who are nearsighted can only see things that are very close to their eyes. Many people who do a lot of close work, such as writing, reading and sewing, become nearsighted. Then they have to wear glasses in order to see distant things clearly.People who are farsighted(近视的) suffer from just the opposite problem. They can see things that are far away, but they have difficulty reading a book unless they hold it at arm’s length. If they want to do much reading, they must get glasses too.Other people do not see clearly because their eyes are not exactly the right shape. This, too, can be corrected by glasses. Some people’s eyes become cloudy(浑浊的) because of cataracts(白内障). Long ago these people often became blind. Now, however, it is possible to operate on the cataracts and remove them.When night falls, colors become fainter to the eye and finally disappear. After your eyes have grown used to the dark, you can see better if you use the sides of your eyes rather than the centers. Sometimes, after dark, you see a small thing to one side of you, which seems to disappear if you turn you head in its direction.This is because when you turn your head, you are looking at the thing too directly. Men on guard duty sometimes think they see something moving to one side of them. When they turn to look straight at it, they cannot see it anymore, and they believe they were mistaken. However, this mistake happens because the center of the eye, which is very sensitive(敏感的) in daylight, is not as sensitive as the sides of the eyes after dark.1. We don’t know that our eyes are of great importance until _____.A. we think about our eyesB. we cannot see clearlyC. we wear glassesD. we have to do much reading2. According to the passage, a _____ is more likely to be nearsighted.A. writerB. doctorC. guardD. painter3. Those who suffer from cataracts _____.A. will become blindB. cannot be cured (治愈)C. may be curedD. must move to other places4. People who are farsighted _____.A. cannot do a lot of close work without glassesB. can only see things that are very close to their eyesC. have difficulty reading a book if they hold it at ar m’s lengthD. have the same problem as the nearsighted people5. To see a small thing at night, it is better to look ______.A. with wide open eyesB. with half- shut or narrowed eyesC. straight at itD. in a slightly different direction第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，满分10分）If you want to keep fit, please refer to the following:Move MoreMake it a daily to find ways to move your body.31.________Climb stairs instead of taking the elevator .Walk your dog; play with your kids. It doesn’t have to be an hour in the gym or a 45­minute dance class. But that’s great when you’re up to it. At the same time, move more.Quit SmokingEver since 1960 when it was announced that smoking was harmful to health, Americans have been reducing their use of tobacco product s. Just recently, we’ve seen more and more teens smoking. Could it be the Hollywood influence? 32. ________Take care! Warn your children against smoking.33.________While recent studies show a glass of wine or one drink a day can help protect against heart disease, more than that can cause other health problems such as liver and kidney(肝肾) disease and cancer.Reduce StressEasier said than done, stress comes in many ways. 34.________Spend 30 minutes a day doing something you like such as walk on the beach or in a park, read a good book, visit a friend, listen to relaxed music and watch a funny movie.Protect Yourself from PollutionIf you can’t live in a smog­free environment, at least avoid smoke­filled rooms. 35______ Exercise indoors in air conditioning when air quality is good.第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）A Welcome GiftDario and his mother loved their new apartment.
