AMany years ago, when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver, I was driving to my parents’ home in Missouri for Christmas. I stopped at a gas st ation about 50 miles from Oklahoma City, where I was planning to stop and visit a friend. While I was standing in line at the cash register (收款台), I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.I took off, but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car. I stopped and wondered what I should do. A car pulled up behind me. It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station. They said they would take me to my friend’s. We chatted on the way into the city, and when I got out of the car, the husband gave me his business card.I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me. Soon afterward, I received a Christmas present from them. Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.Years later, I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning. In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I’d left the lights on all day, and the battery (电池) was dead. Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door. I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford?” I asked and explained my trouble. They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it. They would accept no payment, so when I got home, I wrote them a note to say thanks. I received a letter back from one of the salesmen. No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you, and it meant a lot, he said.“Thank you” —two powerful words. They’re easy to say and mean so much.21. What happened when the author found smoke coming out of his car?A．He had it pulled back to the gas station.B．The couple sent him a business card.C．The couple offered to help him.D．He called his friend for help.22.

She spent her summer vacation flying to Nigeria to campaign for the release(释放)of girls caught by the extremist Islamist group Boko Haram, but also worrying about her grades, which recently took a worrisome dip. She faced President Obama about American drone policy(无人机政策)in a meeting last year, but finds it difficult to make friends with her fellow students in Birmingham, England.“I want to have fun, but I don’t quite know how, ”she wrote in the edition of her autobiography for young readers.On Friday, Ms. Yousafzai became the youngest winner of the Nobel PeacePrize and she was called out of her chemistry class to hear the news.Ms. Yousafzai began campaigning for girls’education at the age of 11,three years before she was shot by the Taliban. The prize she received onFriday accepts what she has taken on, but also shows expectations to her: Canshe truly influence the culture of her home country of Pakistan, which shecannot even visit because of threats to her safety, and where many people see her as a tool of theWest?And in an interview last August, Ms. Yousafzai said that she rarely watched television and deleted the Candy Crush game from her iPad to prevent a growing addiction. As a child in Pakistan, she had access to only a handful of books, she said, but one was a biography of Dr. King, giving her an early sense of what one activist could accomplish.In a brief speech in Birmingham on Friday, she called the prize “an encouragement for me to go forward and believe in my self. ”24.

The rabbit couple gently put the ant on the leaf of a nearby plant. She soon recovered(恢复) and saw the rabbit couple sitting beside her.The ant remembered that she had found herself under the foot of a cat by chance and fainted(晕倒). She asked how she reached the leaf top. The rabbit couple told her what had happened. The ant thanked them and said she would help them when they needed help.The rabbit couple went further up the river to enjoy the bright sun. They had been there many times and would spend many hours playing and relaxing in the sun.One fine day, the couple were again on their way to the river while the ant was playing on the leaf of a tree. She saw the rabbit couple walking towards the river. A few hours later she saw them sleeping peacefully on the soft grass by the river. Suddenly she saw a lion moving towards the grass where the rabbit couple were sleeping. The lion saw the rabbits sleeping, and started walking quietly to attack them.Realizing the hazard getting close to the rabbits, the ant jumped from the leaf to the lion’s shoulder and bit(咬) the lion’s back. The lion cried out in pain, waking the rabbit couple. The rabbits ran away quickly and the ant jumped off the lion’s back into the grass.A white pigeon(鸽子) who watched this event cheered at the courage(勇气) of the ant and toldthe whole story to the rabbits.

Taxis in Finland are mostly high-class Benz with a fare of two US dollars a kilometer. You can go anywhere in one, tell the driver to drop you at any place, say that you have some business to attend to, and then walk off without paying your fare. The driver would not show the least sign of anxiety.The dining rooms in all big hotels not only serve their guests, but also serve outside diners. Hotel guests have their meals free, so they naturally go to the free dining rooms to have their meals. The most they would do to show their good faith is to wave their registration card to the waiter. With such a loose check, you can easily use any old registration card to take a couple of friends to dine free of charge.The Finnish workers are paid by the hour. They are very much on their own as soon as they have agreed with the boss on the rate(价钱). From then on, they just say how many hours they have worked and they will be paid accordingly(相应地).With so many loopholes(漏洞) in everyday life, surely Finland must be a heaven to those who love to take “petty advantages”. But the strange thing is, all the taxi passengers would always comeback to pay their fare after they have attended to their business; not a single outsider has ever been found in the free hotel dining rooms. And workers always give an honest account of the exact hours they put in. As the Finns always act on good faith in everything they do, living in such a society has turned everyone into a real “gentleman”.In a society of such high moral practice, what need is there for people to be on guard against others?32. While taking a taxi in Finland, _____.A. a passenger can go anywhere without having to pay the driverB. a passenger pays two US dollars for a taxi rideC. a passenger can never be turned down by the taxi driver wherever he wants to goD. a passenger needs to provide good faith demonstration (证明) before leaving without paying33. We know from the passage that big hotels in Finland ________.A. are mostly poorly managedB. provide meals for any dinersC. provide free wine and charge for foodD. provide meal for only those who live in the hotels34. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. The workers in Finland are paid by the hour.B. The workers are always honest with their working hours.C. The workers and their bosses will make an agreement in advance about the pay.D. The bosses in Finland are too busy to check the working hours of their employees.35. The word “those” in the last but one paragr aph probably refers to _____.A. people who are dishonestB. people who often have meals in big hotelsC. people who often take taxisD. people who are worthy of trust第二节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，满分20分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
