I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases (行李箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys layeverywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again.Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.Suddenly, thr doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby.“I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said.I asked him to repeat.“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn’t help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer,”If there’s anything I can do …” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man’s need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the funeral. If the person asks,”How did you know I needed that one” I reply,”Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”writer didn’t know what to put into the suitcases because _____.couldn’t do it on her ownwas too sad to do anythingwanted to take everything to Seattlewas not good at housework’s a time line of what happened in the story.Which of the events should go in the empty box abovecame to clean the shoes.couple bathed the children.cleared the supper disheswriter found the shoes cleaned.one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT doher friend to ask what she can do.after her friend’s young children.her friends’s dog to the b oarding kennel.her friend house-sitting during the funeral.37.Which sentences best expresses the theme of this story person’s loss is another’s gain.act of kindness is often rewarded.near neighbour is better than a brother far off.something specific to help those in need.CIn 1990, Ed Viesturs started for the top of Mount Everest (29,029 feet) from a high camp at 27,000 feet. He planned to climb it without oxygen tank, something only a few climbers had managed to do. He’d failed twice, once gettin g with 300 feet of the top before turning back.He left his high camp at 1 ., using a headlamp to find his way in the dark. He’d already been on the mountain for two months, receiving endurance and strength training in preparation for the Everest climb. He’d also lived through terrible cold, strong winds, and separation from friends and family.“The common practice was to use oxygen when climbing, as it, in fact, lowers the altitude (海拔) of the mountain by several thousand feet,” says Viesturs. “If I couldn’t climb Everest without oxygen tank, I wouldn’t climb it.”“You have to be physically fit,” he says. “But the mental (精神的) part is big. It’s so hard to keep going above 20,000 feet.”While making that final climb on Everest, he breathed 15 times for every step. He would tell himself to first reach the rock 100 yards ahead. Then he’d find another rock, then another. Finally he stood on the top, with the whole world at his feet. “It was one of those dream-come-true moments,” Viesturs says. Today, Viesturs makes his living in part as a speaker, talking about his climb of Everest and of the world’s 13 other highestmountain, all without oxygen. He helps people find the strength to overcome their difficulties.Finally, in his words, “The art of mount aineering is knowing when to go, when to stay, and when to turn back. We should go step when working toward our dreams. There are no shortcuts to the top.”38.What does the article mainly talk aboutA.Viesturs’ first successful climb of Mount Everest.B.Viesturs’ physical preparation for climbing Everest.difficulties that Viesturs has met in his life.lessons that Viesturs can share with others.39.What do we know about Ed Viesturssoon as he reached Mount Everest, he set out for Everest climb.’s been to the top of the world’s 14 highest mountain without oxygen.prepared, he had no difficulty climbing the top of Mount Everest .far, he is the only one to have reached the top of Mount Everest without oxygen.40.The first “it” in Paragraph 3refers to (指的是) __________.A.being physical fit EverestB. oxygen when climbing without oxygen41.Which sentence should go in the empty box in the last paragraphlike being near the top of a mountain. is like climbing a mountain.never climb the mountain twice. every mountain there is a path.DParents of very young children know this: You catch your child in the act of stealing the cookie--the evidence of candy written on his or her face. However, you get a wide-eyed denial:”I didn’t do it!”Learning to tell the truth, even at the risk of punishment, is an important part of moral (道德) development, and new research suggests it can take seven or more years for kids to get there.Early 2017 Professor Craig published a study. He and his workmates chose 48 children between four and nine years of age. They told the kids a story about a boy or girl doing something wrong, such as taking a classmate’s toy or candy, and then either lying about the wrongdoing to a parent or confessing (承认) it. In each case, they asked the children, How would the child feel How would the mother feelThe children’s answers answers were generally divided according to age, which is in agreement with the stolen candy, lying and getting unpunished. They imagined the parent in the study would be angry with the child who confessed. However, the seven-to-nine-year-olds were more likely (可能的) to think the child would feel better confessing the crime and that the parent would have positive (积极的) feelings towards a confessor. Smith says,”Kids of all ages who expect that a parent would feel happy about a child’s confession are more likely to tell the truth rather than lie. Reward the honesty even if you feelyou must punish the wrong action.” He adds, what parents can learn from these studies is to listen calmly without getting angry right away when their child confesses.42.What does the underlined word “denial” in Paragragh 1meanA. 委屈B. 责备C. 否认D. 拒绝43.Paragragh 2 mainly tell us _________.can’t tell “right” from “wrong”takes time for kids to learn to tell the truth’s wrong to punish kids for telling the truththe kids are willing to confess to a bad act44.What did Smith and his workmates find in their studykids are more likely than younger children to confess to a bad act.B. Younger children are more likely than older kids to confess to a bad act.four-to-five-year-olds would feel better confessing the crimeseven-to-nine-year-olds thought parents would be angry with their confessions.45.According to Professor Smith, what can parents learn from these studiesshould at once punish the children who lied.should tell children the wrongness of lying.should never get angry after their children’s confessions.shoul d show positive feeling about their children’s confessions.四、词汇运用（共10小题;每小题1分，计10分）根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。
