That cold January night, I was growing sick of my life in San Francisco. There I was, walking home at one in the morning after a tiring practice at the theatre. With opening night only a
job at the bank and my acting at night at the same time. As I walked, I thought seriously about
running, both to keep warm and to keep away from any possible robbers. Very few people were still out except a few sad-looking homeless people under blankets.
About a block from my flat, I heard a sound behind me. I 19 quickly, half expecting to see someone with a knife or a gun. The street was empty. All I saw was a shining
my flat building
falling to the sidewalk. Suddenly I wasn't cold or tired any more. I ran out of the door and
Just as I was about to give up the search, I heard the garbage truck (垃圾车) pull up to the sidewalk next to me. When a voice called from the 25 ,

三、阅读理解阅读下列短文，根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

（30分）
A
I moved here three years ago, and because of my business, I needed to fly both to Taiwan and the United States often. When I traveled alone, I felt lonely because I couldn’t speak English well. I made a decision that I had to study English and very hard.
I like to be in Rita Colina’s class at the Chinese Community Center in Houston. I have many chances to speak and talk to others. Before I came to the class, I always walked away when I met any foreigner. I know that pronunciation, grammar and conversation are very important for me so I came to this class. It’s completely different now. I try to communicate with Americans in English by myself. It’s really great for a person like me to live here. Now I like to talk to fore igners.
I like to go to American supermarkets, Starbuck’s coffee shops and the post office. I can drive anywhere I like to go because I know the road signs. Not only the skill of life becomes more flexible (灵活的), but also I really like to live here.
I learn English in four ways: First of all, I listen to what the teacher teaches in class. Then I keep speaking during the class. Second, I do my homework right away when I get home. I memorize at least five vocabulary words everyday. Third, I listen to American radio stations,
and I watch the news channels and other American programs with my family every day. I ask them whatever I don’t know. Finally, I go to American stores as often as possible so I will have more chances to learn more new words, and find any chance to talk to Americans in English.
Anyway, the most important thing is not to be afraid to open your mouth. It doesn’t matter even though you speak incorrectly. It’s a good start. I’m very grateful for the teaching and encouragement from Ms. Colina. That is the key to the door of learning English for me.

A. as a teacher

A. used to talk to foreigners
B. could drive anywhere she wanted to go
C. would not like to meet any foreigner
D. practiced English in supermarkets, coffee shops and the post office
34. The underlined word “grateful” in the last paragraph means “______”.
A. beautiful
B. careful
C. successful
D. thankful
35. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. how the writer moved to America
B. the writer’s story in learning English

Do you thi nk hard work can make anything possible? If you don’t, you may want to read the book We Can Do written by Moshe Kai Cavalin. It might change your mind.
Moshe Kai Cavalin is a 14-year-old American boy. He has graduated from UCLA (University of California at Los Angeles) this year. Before that, he had already got a degree (学位) from East Los Angeles Community College in 2009.
Recently, Cavalin published the book We Can Do. In this book, he talks about how to achieve things we want, by keeping ourselves focused (专心的) and trying our best to do everything. He says success doesn’t need genius (天赋), just hard work.
The idea of writing a book came from a teacher named Richard Avila at his first college. Cavalin says Avila led him to write a book to explain how he succeeded, so he could inspire other people. It took Cavalin four years to finish the book. Because his mother is Chinese, she wanted to publish the book in Chinese. Cavalin translated the book into Chinese by himself. The book sold well in Taiwan, Singapore and Malaysia.
Cavalin has done a lot at a very young age, but it doesn’t mean he is studying day and night. Of course, he has given up something. Although he’s a big fan of Jackie Chan’s films, he says he only spends four hours a week watching TV.

I want to tell you a story that changed my life many years ago. We were living in College Station, Texas. My wife and I were on our way home from Houston, Tex as one Saturday morning. We decided to stop at a local restaurant to get something to eat since we had enough time.
When we finished, we got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a homeless man standing in front of the building. His clothes were worn and it looked as though he didn’t have any money. It was cold and I was sure he wanted something warm to drink, but, it was not this that I remember because that is not what touched me.
A dog was also walking up to the front of the building. Being a dog owner, I knew that the dog was a mother and that she had just had some puppies. She was hungry and weak and I felt bad for her. I knew if she didn’t eat soon, she and her puppies would not live on.
People walking by didn’t even notice her. She was not as pretty and clean as most dogs, but she still deserved better. We still didn’t do anything, but someone else did. The homeless man, who I thought could not afford anything to eat, went into the store and bought dog food with all of the money he had.
41. Where did the story happen?
A. In the local theater.
B. In front of a building.
C. In the local park.
D. In front of a station.
42. Which of the following touched the writer?
A. The homeless man had no money to buy food for himself.
B. The homeless man wore worn clothes in the cold morning.
C. The homeless man bought food for dog with all of his money.
D. Most people walking by the homeless man didn’t notice him.
43. What’s the Chinese meaning of the underlined word “puppies”?
A. 公狗
B. 种狗
C. 幼犬
D. 警犬
44. What can we learn from the passage?
A. Every dog has its day.
B. Many hands make light work.
C. It never rains but it pours.
D. Don’t judge a book by its cover.

Who is the most famous fairy tale writer? Many of you may say Danish writer Hans Christian Andersen. There is a big award that takes his name: the Hans Christian Andersen Award(国际安徒生奖). It is the highest award for children’s stories. A writer can only get it once in a lifetime.
On April 4, Cao Wenxuan won the 2016 Hans Christian Andersen Award. He is the first Chinese writer to ever win this important award for children’s literature.
Cao Wenxuan was born in 1954 in a small village in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. Some of his stories are set there. He is now a professor at Peking University. He started to publish children’s fiction in 1979. Many of his novels have been translated into English, French, Japanese and Korean.
If you read Cao’s stories, you will find beautiful and poetic descriptions of scenery. For example, in The Grass House (1997), Cao writes, “The grass grows toughly. When the sun shines, the grass shines like copper wire (铜线). When the wind blows from the sea, the grass makes surprisingly metal-like sounds. ”
Cao also uses love as a theme in his stories, and he describes it with great beauty. You can find this theme in Bronze and Sunflower (《青铜葵花》) (2005). The ending of the story is sad, but it helps make the story more realistic. “Sadness is a beautiful emotion. It helps kids understand the real world when it is expressed properly, ” Cao once said.
When Cao created a story, he does not write specifically for someone. Adults can find beauty in his stories, and the plots he invents tend to impress children. “I tell real Chinese stories, but my stories relate to (关联) humans. This might be a key reason why I won this award, ” he said.
56. What is the Hans Christian Andersen Award?

There are four million people with diabetes (糖尿病) in the UK—that’s one in every 16 people. There are two main types of diabetes: Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 is less common and is not preventable. In the UK, 90% of diabetes are Type 2. It has something to do with weight gain and a sedentary
(久坐的) lifestyle, but there are other risk reasons. The good news is that around 80% of cases of Ty pe 2 diabetes are preventable.
Are you at risk?
Type 2 diabetes can come on slowly. It may not be easy to find the signs. So it is important to understand the risk reasons. People with Type 2 diabetes can feel thirsty, tired and need to go to the toilet more often.
Tips on preventing Type 2
If you have Type 2 diabetes, it is very important to control your weight. If you are overweight, Type 2 diabetes can be avoided by reducing your weight.
Exercise is necessary for good health. It not only helps to keep a healthy weight, but can lower blood sugar levels because it helps your body to use insulin (胰岛素) more effectively. Have high levels of everyday activities, including walking, doing the housework, playing with children and hobbies — anything that gets you to move.
Also, a healthy diet will help you manage your weight. Vegetables and fruits are low in calories and are rich in vitamins, minerals (矿物质) and fiber (纤维). This is important for good digestion (消化) and slows down the sugar into the blood. However, some types of fruits are high in sugar, so getting most of your five-a-day from vegetables is better.
Whole grains are good for Type 2 diabetes because the husk (外壳) of the seed is kept. This is often the best part of the grain, with fiber and protein (蛋白). Protein is good for Type 2 diabetes. Fish, meats, eggs, nuts and many beans are rich in protein.
Foods high in both fat and sugar are very bad for your health and should be avoided. Water is the best because there aren’t any calories in it while many other drinks, such as soft drinks, energy drinks and milky coffees are really bad.

Be a student with good manners
It’s very important to be a person with good manners in our daily life.
Last Saturday evening, all my family were enjoying dinner in a restaurant when a group of young people came into it. While they were eating their food, they talked loudly and smoked. I tried to stop them doing so, but they refused to listen to me. Instead, they said it was none of my business and laughed at me.
In fact, what they did upset me deeply, but I was proud of what I did. In my opinion, we should keep quiet in public. Also, we should be polite to others. Only in this way can we be trained to be person with good behaviour.
Be a student with good manners from now on.。
