It was a bitter, cold craning in evening Virginia years ago. And old man was waiting for a ride across the river. The wait seemed endless. His body became stiff the cold wind.
He heard the faint, steady 31 of approaching hooves (马蹄) coming along the frozen path, 32 , he watched as several horsemen 33 the bend. He let the first one pass by, then another and another.
Finally, the last rider neared the sport where the old man sat like a snow 34 . As this one drew near ,the old man 35 the rider’s eye and said, “Sir, would you mind giving an old man a 36 to the other side?”There appear to be passage way by foot."
Reining his horse, the rider replied, “Sure. Hop aboard.” Seeing the old man was unable to 37 his half – frowned body from the ground, the horseman dismounted and helped the old man onto the horse. The horse took the old man not just across the fiver ,but to his 38 .
As they neared the cottage, the horseman’ 39 caused him to inquire ,"Sir ,I notice that you let several other riders 40 without making an effort to secure a ride. Then I came up and you 41 asked me for a ride. I'm curious. What if I had 42 and left you there?"
The old man 43 himself slowly down from the horse, looked the rider straight in the eyes, and replied, "I’ve been around here for some time .I 44 I know people pretty good. The old – timer continued. I looked into the eyes of the other riders and immediately saw there was no 45 for my situation. It would have been 46 even to ask them for a ride. But when looked into your eyes, kindness and compassion were 47 . I knew, then and there, that your gentle spirit would welcome the opportunity to give me 48 my time of need.”
Those heartwarming comments 49 the horseman deeply.
“I'm most grateful for what you have said.” He told the old man .''May I have get too 50 in my own affairs that I fail to respond to the needs of others with kindness and compassion ."

第三部分：阅读理解（共20小题；每上题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从短篇短文所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A
Every people has its own way of saying things, its own special expressions. Many everyday American expressons are on colors.
Red is a hot color. Americans often use it to express heat. They may say they are red hot about something unfair. When they are red hot they are very angry about something. The small hot tasting peppers found in many Mexican foods are called red hots for their color and their fiery taste. Fast loud music is popular with many people. They may say the music is red hot, especially the kind called Dixieland jazz.
Pink is a lighter kind of red. People sometimes say they are in the pick when they are in good health. The expression was first used in America at the beginning of the twentieth century. It probably comes from the fact that many babies are born with a nice pink color that shows that they are in good health.
Blue is a cool color. The traditional blues music in the United States is the opposite of red hot music. Blues is slow, sad and soulful. Duke Ellington and his orchestra recorded a famous song – Mood Indigo – about the deep blue color, indigo. In the words of the song: “You ain’t been blue till you’ve had that Mood Indigo.” Someone who is blue is very sad.
The color green is natural for trees and grass. But it is an unnatural color for humans. A person who has a sick feeling stomach may say she feels a little green. A passenger on a boat who is feeling very sick from high waves may look very green.
Sometimes a person may be upset because he does not have something as nice as a friend has, like a fast new car. That person may say he is green with envy. Some people are green with envy because a friend has more dollars or greenbacks. Dollars are called greenbacks because that is the color of the back side of the paper money.
The color black is used often in expressions. People describe a day in which everything goes wrong as a black day. The date of a major tragedy is remembered as a black day. A blacklist is illegal now. But at one time, some businesses refused to employ people who were on a blacklist for belonging to unpopular organizations. 51．If you had your wallet stolen while doing some shopping, you may call it .
A．a white day B．a black day C．a red day D．a green day
52．Suppose a Mr. Brown says he is very happy because his three children are all in the pink, this means all his children are .
A．lucky and wealthy B．gentle and modest
C．fit and healthy D．creative and energetic
53．When she got home and found nothing had been done by her busband, Jane was really .
A．red hot B．green C．blue D．black
54．In the following paragraph, the writer might tell the reader something about .
A．unpopular polarizations in the world
B．people’ response towards a black day
C．the influence of the traditional blues
D．more words about color, such as brown
B
For years I wanted a flower garden. I’d spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together.
But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.
Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and I'd have to say, "Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesn't grow on trees, you know."
Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden.
I wasn't sure, though. I mean, gardens do cost money, and after all these years I was used to living on a pretty lean, no-frills budget.
Then, one spring morning, on Mother's Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I realized that cars were tooting their horns as they drove by. I looked out the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard.
I thought it must be a weeping willow, because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on - and I couldn't believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard!
I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. Think of all the garden flowers I could buy with one hundred dollars! There was also a note attached: "IOU eight hours of digging time. Love, Marvin."
Marvin kept his promise, too. He dug up a nice ten-by-fifteen foot bed for me. And my other children bought me tools, ornaments, a trellis (棚架), a sunflower stepping stone and gardening books.
That was three years ago. My garden's now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and weed or tend my flowers, I don't seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like they're right there with me.
I live up in Michigan's Upper Peninsula, where winters are long and cold, and summers are too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers I'll see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes - every time.
I'm still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!
55．By saying “Do you see a money tree outside .….,” the mother actually means “”
A．Observation is the best teacher.
B．Seeing is believing.
C．The outsider sees the most of the game.
D．It is not easy to gain money
56．The best title for the passage would probably be .
A．My flower garden B．Marvin helps to realize my dream
C．Love in Michigan D．Money grows on trees
57．The underlined word “no - frills” in the fifth paragraphs is similar in meaning to .
A．wasteful B．tight C．absurd D．helpful
58．From the last but the third paragraph we can infer that the mother is .
A．divorced when she was young B．not caring for her kids any longer
C．alone but not at all lonely D．prouder with her garden than with her kids.
C
In my procession as an educator and health care provider, I have worked with numerous children infected with the virus that causes AIDS. The relationships that I have had with these special kids have been gifts in my life. They have taught me so many things, but I have especially learned that great courage can be found in the smallest of packages. Let me tell you about Tyler.
Tyler was born infected with HIV: his mother was also infected. From the very beginning of his life, he was dependent on medications to enable him to survive. When he was five, he had a tube surgically inserted in a vein in his chest. This tube was connected to a pump, which he carried in a small backpack on his back. Medications were hooked up to this pump and were continuously supplied through this tube to his bloodstream. At times, he also needed supplemented oxygen to support his breathing.
Tyler wasn’t willing to give up one single moment of his childhood to this deadly disease. It was not unusual to find him playing and racing around his backyard, wearing his medicine-laden backpack and dragging his tank of oxygen behind him in his little wagon. All of us who knew Tyler marveled at his pure joy in being alive and the
energy it gave him. Tyler’s mom often teased him by telling him that he moored so fast she needed to dress him in red. That way, when she peered through the window to check on him playing in the yard, she round quickly spot him.
This dreaded disease eventually wore down even the likes of a little dynamo like Tyler. He grew quite ill and, unfortunately, so did his HIV-infected mother. When it became apparent that he wasn't going to survive, Tyler's mom talked to him about death. She comforted him by telling Tyler that she was dying too, and that she would be with him soon in heaven.
A few days before his death, Tyler beck oned me over to his hospital bed and whispered, “I might die soon. I’m not scared. When I die, please dress me in red. Mom promised she’s coming to heaven, too. I’ll be playing when she gets there, and I want to make sure she can find me.”
59．What is the boy Tyler’s attitude towards death?
A．pessimistic. B．optimistic. C．sorrowful. D．fearful.
60．Tyler requested the writer to dress him in red when he died simply because .
A．red is a lucky color.
B．red right help to cure him.
C．his mom could spot him easily
D．he could find more mates by wearing red.
61．Which of the following might serve as a possible title far this passage?
A．My unusual profession. B．A caring mother.
C．Mother and son. D．Dying in red.
62．The underlined word dynamo in the fourth paragraph here means .
A．a promising and helpful youth B．an extremely energetic person
C．a rare and beautiful flower D．a magic and understanding superstar

I told my friend Graham that I often cycle the two miles from my house to the town center but unfortunately there is a big hill on the route. He replied, ‘You mean fortunately.’ He explained that I should be glad of the extra exercise that the hill provided.
My attitude to the hill has now changed. I used to grumble as I approached it but now I tell myself the following. This hill will exercise my heart and lungs. It will help me to lose weight and get fit. It will mean that I live longer. This hill is my friend. Finally as I wend my way up the incline I console myself with the thought of all those silly people who pay money to go to a gym and sit on stationery exercise bicycles when I can get the same value for free. I have a smug smile of satisfaction as I reach the top of the hill.
Problems are there to be faced and overcome. We cannot achieve anything with an easy life. Helen Keller was the first deaf and blind person to gain a University degree. Her activism and writing proved inspirational. She wrote, “Character cannot be developed in ease and quiet. Only through experiences of trial and suffering can the soul be strengthened, vision cleared, ambition inspired and success achieved.”
One of the main determinants of success in life is our attitude towards adversity. From time to time we all face hardships, problems, accidents, afflictions and difficulties. Some are of our making but many confront us through no fault of our own. Whilst we cannot choose the adversity we can choose our attitude towards it.
Douglas Bader was 21 when in 1931 he had both legs amputated following a flying accident. He was determined to fly again and went on to become one of the leading flying aces in the Battle of Britain with 22 aerial victories over the Germans. He was an in spiration to others during the war. He said, “Don’t listen to anyone who tells you tha t you can’t do this or that. That’s nonsense. Make up your mind, you’ll never use crutches or a
stick, then have a go at everything. Go to school, join in all the games you can. Go anywhere you want to. But never, never let them persuade you that things ar e too difficult or impossible.”
The biographies of great people are littered with examples of how they took these kinds of steps to overcome the difficulties they faced. The common thread is that they did not become defeatist or depressed. They chose their attitude. They chose to be positive. They took on the challenge. They won.
63．The writer has a smug smile of satisfaction as he reaches the top of the hill because .
A．he was actually killing two birds with a stone
B．compared with those silly people, he was smarter
C．he lost weight by cycing to the town center every day
D．he was informed of a short route from his house to the town
64．The writer quoted Helen Keller and her saying as an example to demonstrate .
A．one cannot achieve anything with an easy life
B．only disabled persons can experience hardship deeply
C．one’s success is determined by nothing but his / her attitude
D．it’s rare for a deaf and blind person to gain a University degree.
65．From this passage we know that Douglas Bader was a person of .
A．individual and creative character B．stubborn yet charming personality
C．great bravery and strong will D．excellent speaker with great influence
66．In writing style, the last paragraph serves as .
A．an explanation B．a demonstration
C．an introduction D．a summarization

UNICEF is appealing for more than one billion dollars in aid for women and children around the world. The United Nations Children's Fund has released its “Humanitarian Action Report” for two thousand ten. The report lists twenty – eight countries and territories with some of the world’s most pester affecting women and children.
Haiti was considered to be in crisis long before the earthquake in January. The deputy executive director of UNICEF, Hilde Johnson, says the quake has only made the need for aid more immediate. But she says children all over the world have the right to the same assistance as children everywhere else.
The "Humanitarian Action Report" discusses several issues that UNICEF says increasingly threaten the basic rights of women and children. It says climate change has caused droughts and food insecurity in many areas. High food prices and the global financial crisis of two thousand eight-two thousand nine have only added to poverty and malnutrition (营养不良). And armed conflict continues to threaten the lives of millions.
Hilde Johnson says children are always the most affected by conflicts and disasters. They face an increased risk of abuse, including sexual violence and other serious rights violations(侵犯).
UNICEF deals with about two hundred emergencies around the world every year. The greatest need last year was in sub-Saharan Africa. The report says drought, food insecurity and civil unrest affected about twenty-four million people.
Violence and displacements of people were especially bad in Sudan, Chad, the Democratic Republic of Congo and the Central African Republic.
In Asia, UNICEF expects its financial assistance needs to more than double this year. This is partly the result of adding Pakistan and the Philippines to the latest report. In Pakistan, it says, more than two million people have
been forced from their homes by the conflict in the Swat Valley and other areas of the northwest. And in the Philippines, more than two hundred thousand people are still living in shelters after severe storms last year.
This year's UNICEF report talks about the value of public and private partnerships in helping children and families in emergencies.
And that's the VOA Special English Development Report, written by June Simms. For a link to the UNICEF report listing the twenty-eight countries and territories in crisis, go to . I'm Steve Ember. 67．According to Hilde Johnson, the most easily affected peens suffering from conflicts and disasters are .
A．women B．children C．the old D．the disabled
68．From this passage we know that the most serious problems in Asia are .
A．earthquakes and malnutrition
B．displacemerds, and storms
C．seminal violence and other rights violations
D．droughts and food insecurity
69．By saying “… the quake has only made the need for aid more immediate.” Hilda Johnson probably intends to energy the idea that “”.
A．everything must have a beginning
B．grass never grows where the wide blows
C．cloudy herrings turn to clear evenings
D．it never rains but pours
70．Which of the following might serve as a suitable tickle for this passage?
A．Haiti was in crisis due to the earthquake in January.
B．Violence in the twenty – eight countries and territories
C．UNICEF Appeals for And for Women and Children
D．the vatic of public and private partnerships in helping
