Delia was a young pianist. Her husband Joe was a talented young painter. They lived in a small flat in
New York.
Each of them was taking lessons. Joe with a famous art teacher，and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford，but …when you love your art，nothing’s too much.
But soon, the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more.
Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano — and he was going to pay her $50 an hour.
“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you kept up your lessons.” Delia said that it didn’t matter. She said, “When I’ve made some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing’s too much.”
A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took $200 from his pocket. “I met a man from Vermont” he said, “who bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!”
Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was burned. He asked her what had happened. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally, asked me to pour some coffee for her. So I did and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand.”
Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked. She took a deep breath and started to cry. “Oh Joe —I couldn’t get any students, so I got a job in a coffee shop. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can’t work any more. I’m sorry, Joe - but we’ll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”
Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a drugstore (药店），and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you — well，I guessed.”
They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art ..,”
Delia put her fingers to his lips (嘴唇). “No, Joe,” she said, “just ‘When you love ...’”

The Kings School in Berkshire was like any other school: with average grades, average teachers and students—that is until Mr Newton became the new principal (校长) years ago.
The school had problems with discipline (纪律) and many students were excluded（逐出）from classes. How could Mr Newton solve these problems? These kids did not listen to the teachers. They did not want to learn.
Then Mr Newton had an idea. He had seen a TV programme about adult volunteers teaching the elderly the wonders of computers and the Internet. Most of the children knew more about the Internet than he did. If these kids worked with the elderly, teaching them how to use computers and the Internet, they might even learn new skills. It would improve their confidence and sense of self-worth!
So Mr Newton set up a week’s work experien ce for all his students at the local nursing home. He was pleased to see how much the students enjoyed teaching the elderly. Paul, the most disruptive (破坏性的) student in school, loved it. He was proud that he was able to help somebody to learn something new. His favourite student was Dorothy, an 85-year-old lady, who did not even know how to turn on the computer. Paul taught Dorothy how to surf the Internet and write emails. Dorothy has children and grandchildren in Australia who she has not seen for six years, and she can now keep in touch with them by emailing them every day. Teaching Dorothy, who used to be so scared of computers, had made Paul think about why he was disruptive in class. He realized that when he did not understand something in class, he did not ask the teachers, because he did not want to look stupid. Often, he would just stop studying because he was angry and frustrated (沮丧的). Spending time with Dorothy has helped Paul to be calmer and more patient. When they first started, Dorothy made so many mistakes and wanted to give up, but Paul convinced her to carry on. He is so proud of her.
Paul’s story shows that students can learn how good it is to help others. V oluntary work teaches students the value of helping and respecting other people. It improves their communication skills, and makes them less selfish because they have to think about other people’s needs.
( ) 63. Before Mr Newton became the new principal of the school, ______________.
A. neither teachers nor students were excellent
B. both teachers and students behaved well
C. students were rude to each other
D. teachers were friendly to their students
( ) 64. The idea of how to help the students came into Mr Newton’s mind when_________.
A. his students started to run away from class
B. he couldn’t stand his disruptive students
C. he came across a TV programme about volunteers
D. he saw some adult volunteers helping students with studying problems
( ) 65. What does the underlined word “convinced” mean in Chinese?
A. 嘲笑
B. 说服
C. 资助
D. 建议
( ) 66. Paul ______after teaching Dorothy how to use the computer and the Internet.
A. became more interested in computers
B. became more willing to listen to the old people
C. began to think carefully about his own problem
D .began to work hard and became a top student in his class

“If you want to see a thing well, reach out and touch it!”
That may seem a strange thing to say. But touching things can help you to see them better. Your eyes can tell you that a glass ball is round. But by holding it in your hands, you can feel how smooth and cool the ball is. You can feel how heavy the glass is. When you feel all these about the ball, you really see it. With your skin, you can feel better. For example, your fingers can tell the difference between two coins in your pocket. You
can feel a little drop of water on the back of your hand, too. You can even feel sounds against your skin. Have you ever wanted to know why some people like very loud music? They must like to feel the sounds of music. All children soon learn what “Don’t touch!” means. They hear it often. Yet most of us keep on touching things as we grow up. In shops, we touch things we might buy: food, clothes. To see something well, we have to touch it. The bottoms of our feet can feel things, too. You know this when you walk on warm sand, cool grass or a hard floor. All feel different under your feet.
There are ways of learning to see well by feeling. One way is to close your eyes and try to feel everything that is touching your skin. Feel the shoes on your feet, the clothes on your body, the air on your skin. At first, it is not easy to feel these things. You are too used to them!
Most museums are just for looking. But today some museums have some things to touch. Their signs say, “Do touch!” There you can feel everything on show.
If you want to see better, reach out and touch. Then you will really see!
( ) 67. By touching things ________.
A. you will have a strange feeling
B. you will learn how to reach out your hand
C. you can learn more about them
D. you can tell what colors they really are
( ) 68. What can’t your skin feel?
A. Sounds.
B. Coins.
C. Water.
D. Darkness.
( ) 69.Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Touching is helping us to see better.
B. Our skins may help us enjoy music.
C. Visitors can’t feel the things on show in any museums.
D. People don’t have to learn to feel.
( ) 70.Which of the following can be the best title of the story?
A. Touching by Feeling
B. To See Better—Feel
C. To See or to Feel
D. Ways of Feeling

Now many young people are traveling around the world on their own not because they have no one to travel with, but because they prefer to go alone.
Kristina Wegscheider from California first traveled alone when she was at college and believes that it is something everyone should do at least once in their life. “It opens up your mind to new things and pushes you o ut of your comfort zone.” Wegscheider has visited 46 countries covering all seven continents.
In foreign countries, with no one to help you read a map, look after you if you get ill, or lend you money if your wallet is stolen, it is challenging. This is what drives young people to travel alone. It is seen as character building and a chance to prove that they can make it on their own.
Chris Richardson decided to leave his sales job in Australia to go traveling last year. He set up a website, The Aussie Nomad, to document his adventures. He says he wished he had traveled alone earlier. “The people you meet, the places you visit, or the things you do, everything is up to you and it forces you to grow as a person,” said the 30-year-old man.
Richardson describes traveling alone like“a shot in the arm”, which “makes you a more confident person that is ready to deal with anything.” He said, “The feeling of having conquered (征服) something on my own is a major part of what drives me each day when I’m dealing with a difficult task.” “I walk around with my head up because I know deep down inside that nothing is impossible if you try.”
The great 19th century explorer John Muir once said, “Only by going alone in silence can one truly get into the heart of the wilderness.”
( ) 71. Which of the following will Kristina Wegscheider agree with?
A. Traveling alone is a necessary experience for everyone.
B. It is more meaningful to travel in foreign countries.
C. It is comfortable to travel around without a friend.
D. Traveling abroad helps people to find new things.
( ) 72. Traveling alone is challenging because ________.
A. you have to make things on your own
B. it is hard for you to prove yourself to others
C. you can only depend on yourself whatever happens
D. it will finally build your character
( ) 73. What can we infer about Chris Richardson?
A. He started traveling alone at an early age.
B. He was once shot in the arm.
C. He used to work as a salesman
D. His website inspires (激励) others a lot.
( ) 74. What does the unlined part “a shot in the arm” mean?
A.一剂强心剂
B. 胳膊上的枪伤
C. 撞了一下胳膊
D.充满力量的胳膊
( ) 75.What is the best title for the passage?
A. Travel Abroad
B. Travel Alone
C. Travel Light
D. Travel Wide and Far

七、阅读与回答问题（10分）
It’s helpful to think about the following before you take a trip.
Choose where you want to go. When people think to themselves, “I want to take a trip,” usually they have a place in mind. Where is yours? Try to make it as specific (确切的) as possible. “London” is a lot easier to plan than “England”.
Keep in mind weather conditions, kinds of activity for fun (beaches, culture, shopping). What clothes are right for you? What is needed there?
Choose when you want to go. This will be decided by a number of things, but mostly your plan. How much time can you take off work?
Do you want to go during the off-season or while tourism is in high season? The off-season will offer discounts (打折), but it will also mean closed doors.
When it comes to weather, do you want to travel in winter or the rainy season? How about when it’s hot? And there is ticket price --- if you’re flying, when is it the cheapest to fly?
Book flights and hotels. Once you’re exactly sure of where, when and how you want to go, book your flight and hotel. For flights, book around two months out. And don't wait till the last minute for your hotels either --- you don’t want them to be booked or almost-booked (because then prices rise quickly) Pack（装进，收拾行李）light. No one has ever said to themselves while on vacation, “I’m so glad I packed all my things.” Leave space for shoppi ng and buying souvenirs. Moreover, travelling with lots of luggage（行李）restricts（限制，约束）your movement and causes discomfort—you’ll be moving around a lot, and it’ll only be cumbersome (笨重的). Only pack what you need.
111.How many tips for travelling are mentioned(提及) in this passage?
________________________________________________________________________
112. What should you think about first before you take a trip according to the passage?
_______________________________________________________________________
113. What should you do if you are sure of where, when and how you want to go?
_______________________________________________________________________
114. Why should you travel with light luggage?
_______________________________________________________________________
115. What’s the passage mainly about?（自拟一句作答）
