A
Help Is at Hand
When I began planning to move to Auckland to study, my mother was a little worried about the uncertainty of living in a place that was so different from India, where we lived. She worried particularly about the lack of jobs, the cultural differences and the chance that I would face racism (种族歧视)．
Despite these worries, I came to New Zealand in July 2009. I have found the place and people very nice and supportive. Soon after I arrived, I realized the importance of getting a job to supplement (增补) my living expenses.
Determined to do this on my own, I spent a whole day going from door to door asking for a job. However, I received little or no response. This became my routine every day after college for a few weeks.
One afternoon, I walked into a building to ask if there were any job opportunities. The people there were very surprised, and advised me not to continue my job search in this manner. As I was about to leave, a client (职员) in the building, who had been listening to what the others had said, approached me and asked if I would wait outside. Fifteen minutes later, he returned. He asked me what my plans were and encouraged me to stay confident. He then offered to take me to the Royal Oak area to search for a
job.
I was a little confused, but had a good feeling about him and so I went along. Along the way, I realized that I had run out of copies of my resume (简历). The man stopped at his business partner's office to make me 15 extra copies. He also gave me tips on dressing and speaking, and added that I should give him a call if I ever needed anything. I handed out my resumes and went home feeling very satisfied. The following day, I received a call from a store in Royal Oak offering me a job.
It seems that the world always gives back to you when you need it. And this time, it was a complete stranger who turned out to be a real blessing.

The volcano is one of the most surprising frightening forces of nature. Maybe you have seen pictures of these “fireworks” of nature. Sometimes when a volcano erupts, a very large wall of melted rock moves down the side of a mountain. It looks like a “river of fire”. Sometimes volcanoes explode, throwing the melted rock and ashes high into the air. But where does this melted rock come from?
The earth is made up of many layers. The top layer that we see is called the crust. Under the crust there are many layers of hard rock. But far, far beneath the crust whose rock is so hot, it is soft. In some places it even melts. The melted rock is called magma. Sometimes the magma breaks out to the
surface through cracks (裂缝) in the crust. These cracks are volcanoes.
Most people think of mountains when they think of volcanoes. But not every mountain is a volcano. A volcano is simply the opening in the earth from which the magma escapes. The hot magma, or lava as it is called, cools and builds up on the surface of the earth. Over thousands of years, this pile of cooled lava can grow to be very, very big. For example, the highest mountain in Africa, Kilimanjaro, is a volcano. It towers more than 16,000 feet above the ground around it.
5．Where does the melted rock come from?
A. The top layer.
B. The crust.
C. Far beneath the crust.

答案与解析
语篇解读本文是记叙文。

作者拥抱了一个乞丐，这不仅温暖了对方，也让自己的心情跟着愉悦起来。

16．B见下题解析。

17．A根据本段末的which I always did可推测，作者很熟悉这位乞丐，所以这里应该是指作者“看到(saw)”他“像往常一样(as usual)”站在角落里。

18．D根据全文语境可知，这位乞丐站在街角讨钱，所以当时他应该是正在跟其他人“谈话(talking to)”，而不会是争论、抱怨，甚至打架。

19．D逗号前的内容是作者直接从乞丐身旁走过却没有给钱的原因，故so符合此处语境。

20．C这已经是当天作者第二次碰到这位乞丐了，故again符合此处
语境。

21．A根据下文中的coins和bills可知，这位乞丐向作者讨“钱(money)”。

22．B根据第一段中的important appointment及第三段中的busy with ...可推测，当时作者满脑子都是这个约会。

full of表示“充满”，符合此处语境。

23．C根据两个人的对话可知，作者说自己身上没有硬币，这位乞丐说自己不“介意(mind)”收纸币。

24．C根据乞丐的话及本句中的laughed可知，他只是在“开玩笑(joking)”。

25．B根据本空后的too可知，作者也跟着“笑了(laughed)”。

26．A根据下段中的Thank you ... that way可推测，作者以一种热情友好的方式碰了碰那位乞丐，故warmly符合此处语境。

27．B根据本文多次出现的appointment可推测，作者当时的“思绪(thoughts)”全在这次约会上。

28．C见下题解析。

29．D作者已经转身走了，所以这里应该是指他听到乞丐在后面“大声呼叫(called)”什么，然后“停下了(stopped)”脚步。

30．A上文的touch提示了本题的答案。

31．D这位乞丐叫住了作者并表达了自己的感谢是因为这种事情“很少(seldom)”发生。

32．C这位乞丐的话让作者很感动，所以他“转过(turned)”身来，跑向乞丐，并拥抱了他。

33．B根据上下文语境可知，作者的拥抱让这位乞丐感觉很“好(good)”。

34．A有些人直接从这位乞丐身边“走过(pass)”，就像他不存在一样。

35．D听了乞丐的话，作者又拥抱了他，而且是紧紧地抱住了他，故hard符合此处语境。

第二节语法填空(共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分)
阅读下面短文，在空格处填入适当的内容(每空不多于三个单词)或使用括号中单词的正确形式填空，并将答案填写在相应位置上。

Sarah: Welcome to the program. This afternoon I'm standing in the middle of the northern Black Forest, with Rainer Sanger.
Rainer: Good afternoon, Sarah.
Sarah: Rainer, you're very concerned 36.________ this area of the forest, are you? Can you tell us why?
Rainer: Well, much of the forest 37.________ (wipe) out in the terrible storm last winter, 38.________ you can see. Many of the trees are dead, and more are dying because of the damage. We believe 39.________ the government isn't doing enough right now to make this beautiful forest 40.________ (get) into its former state.
Sarah: I see. But have you spoken to the government about this?
Rainer: 41.________ have tried, but each time they say that they haven't got enough money. They are always using money as the excuse. It's getting really 42.________ (disappoint)!
Sarah: 43.________ it's not just an excuse, is it? They clearly don't have enough money for everything and the storm was an unexpected occurrence.
Rainer: Of course, we appreciate that, and the point is that 44.________ (actual) we aren't asking for much money. We would just act like their guidance —we can provide volunteers to work on 45.________ forest.
答案与解析
36．about be concerned about sth.“担心/关心某事”。

37．was wiped所给词在句中作谓语且根据句中时间状语last winter 可知动词应用一般过去时态，且wipe与其逻辑主语the forest 为被动关系故空处填was wiped。

38．as as “正如”引导非限制性定语从句代替前面整句话的内容。

39．that that 引导宾语从句。

40．get make ... do ... “让……做某事”。

41．We空格处在句中作主语且与下文的we 呼应。

42．disappointing所给词在句中作表语且表“令人失望的”，应填disappointing。

43．But空格所在句与上面一句为转折关系且空格后无逗号，故填
But。

but 表转折。

44．actually所给词在本句中作状语，故本处填actual的副词形式actually。

45．the the forest 特指前面提到的森林。

A wonderful trip to Guilin

A_wonderful_trip_to_Guilin
I went to Guilin with my family during the winter holidays.
Located in the northeastern part of Guangxi, Guilin is known as one of the top tourist destinations in China for its beauty of natural scenery. First we went to Seven Star Park, which is to the east of the Lijiang River. It is the largest park in Guilin with many kinds of trees and colourful flowers. Then we went to Elephant Trunk Hill, which got its name because the hill looks exactly like an elephant putting its trunk into the river for a drink. There are lots of hills of different shapes in Guilin. Some look like human figures and some like animals.
What a wonderful time we had!。
