Our first winter, in Canada was the happiest one we have ever experienced.⑰We were living in the countryside then and had just arrived from Hong Kong that autumn.One evening in mid­December snow began to fall.When we looked out of the window and saw that it was snowing, we all felt very happy.⑱It was the first snow we had ever seen and we were excited.⑰Next morning when we woke up, it was still snowing.We turned on the radio and learned that more than ten inches of snow had fallen during the night and that since there was too much snow on the roads there would be no school that day.⑲We jumped up and down with joy and asked Mother to let us go outside to play in the snow.⑳She said we could go out after breakfast if we dressed ourselves warmly and promised to come back as soon as we felt cold. When we went out, the snow had almost stopped. The roads, paths, gardens, and playgrounds were all hidden under soft white snow. It was the most beautiful sight we had ever seen.

第二部分　阅读理解(共两节，满分35分)

第一节(共10小题；每小题2.5分，满分25分)

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。

A

In October, I told the eight­year­olds in the class I teach in Pompton Lakes, New Jersey, about my plan. “Since all of you have done extra jobs around the house to earn some money，” I said, “then we’ll buy food for a Thanksgiving dinner for someone who might not have a nice dinner otherwise.”

I watched them while they walked up and down the supermarket. “Flowers！” Kristine cried. The group rushed towards the holiday plants.

“You can’t eat flowers.”—It was wiser to use any extra money to buy something that could be turned into meals.

“But Mrs Sherlock，” came the begging voice, “we want flowers.”

Defeated finally, I put a pot of “funny” purple mums in the cart full of foods. “She’ll like this one，” the children agreed.

An organisation had given us the name and address of a needy grandmother who had lived alone for many years. We finally pulled up in front of a small house. A slightly­built woman with a weary face came to the door to welcome us.

My little group ran to get the foods. As each box was carried in, the old woman kept on saying “Thanks.”—much to her visitors’ pleasure. When Amy put the mums on the counter, the woman seemed surprised. She’s wishing it was a bag of rice, I thought.

We returned to the car. As we fastened our seat belts, we could see the kitchen window. The woman inside waved goodbye, then turned and walked across the room, past the turkey, past the goods, straight to the mums. She put her face in them. When she raised her head, there was a smile on her lips. She was transformed(转变) before our eyes.

The children were quiet. At that moment, they had seen for themselves the power they have to make another’s life better. The children had sensed that sometimes a person needs a pot of funny purple flowers on a dark November day.

【解题导语】　本文是一篇记叙文。作者让学生们给无法享用美味晚餐的人购买感恩节晚餐所需的食物，在孩子们的强烈要求下买了一盆紫色的菊花，送给了一位老太太。老太太看到花后，把脸埋在花里，然后露出了微笑。孩子们的善举和鲜花改变了老太太的心情和生活。

21．What does the story mainly tell us?

A．Everyone has the power to change the world.

B．Acts of kindness can change someone’s life.

C．The poor people may need flowers as well.

D．Children have different thoughts from adults.

B　解析：主旨大意题。作者号召学生们给无法享用美味晚餐的人购买感恩节晚餐所需的食物，在孩子们的强烈要求下买了一盆紫色的菊花，送给了一位老太太。老太太看到花后，把脸埋在花里，然后露出了微笑。孩子们的善举和鲜花改变了老太太的心情和生活。故选B项。

22．What does the underlined word “mums” refer to in the passage?

A．Mothers.　　　　　　　 B．Teachers.

C．Flowers. D．Gifts.

C　解析：词义猜测题。根据孩子们说的“Flowers！”“we want flowers.”和最后一段中的“a person needs a pot of funny purple flowers”可知，作者在孩子们的强烈要求下买了一盆紫色的花，因此mums是花。故选C项。

23．What can we know from the passage?

A．The old woman preferred food to flowers.

B．Flowers are more important than food to the poor.

C．The old woman’s dark day was brightened by the children.

D．All the money the children earned was transformed to food.

She was transformed(转变) before our eyes.”和“The children had sensed that sometimes a person needs a pot of funny purple flowers on a dark November day.”可推知，老太太看到花后，把脸埋在花里，然后露出了微笑，孩子们也意识到在黑暗的11月中，有时人们需要一盆紫色的花，由此可知是孩子们照亮了老太太黑暗的日子。故选C项。

B

German artist HA Schult is an unusual artist who uses trash(废物) to make sculptures. “We are living in the time of garbage, ” says Schult. “I created a thousand sculptures of garbage. They are a mirror of ourselves.” Here, Schult was talking about his 1，000 trash sculptures in the form of humans. He first exhibited them in 1996 in the German state of North Rhine­Westphalia.

“They are social sculptures，” he explains. “They are not only sculptures for the eyes. They are sculptures to spread the idea that we live in a time of garbage.” So far, Schult’s social sculptures have been on show in Paris, in Moscow’s Red Square, on the Great Wall of China, and in the desert next to the Pyramids of Giza near Cairo.

HA Schult’s work is unforgettable. Although his work has had a big influence on the art world, Schult remains modest(谦虚的) about his creations：“Artists have to learn every time. We are not important. All that counts is the time in which we are living.”

Trash art has been around for years. But it seems that only the popular artists are regarded as true artists when working with trash. Why can’t common people be considered artists when they use the same things and change them into some form of personal art? Maybe it’s because we all have our own preset ideas of what art is and isn’t, or whom artists are or should be.

You can be an artist like Schult if you try. Look at used metal cans. What might be done with them? Imagine them in any number of new uses, or imagine them simply as an art form. What about boxes or clothing? Boxes can usually serve as new storage containers and houses for pets. And clothing? Imagine taking old clothes and turning them into hats or hanging organizers.

【解题导语】　本文是一篇议论文。德国艺术家Schult用垃圾做成雕像，以此提醒人们，我们现在生活在一个充满垃圾的时代，号召人们关注环境问题。

24．What do we know about Schult’s sculptures?

A．They served as garbage containers.

B．They reflected environmental problems.

C．They were first shown in Paris, France.

D．They were to raise economic awareness.

B　解析：推理判断题。根据第一段前三句可知，Schult用垃圾做成雕像，以此提醒人们，我们现在生活在一个充满垃圾的时代，这些用垃圾做的雕像是我们自己的镜子。由此可推知，Schult的雕像反映了环境问题。

25．What kind of message do HA Schult’s artistic works get across?

A．An artist must be socially responsible.

B．An artist must be as modest as possible.

C．An artist must make garbage recyclable.

D．An artist must take different kinds of artistic forms.

A　解析：推理判断题。根据第二段前两句可知，Schult做的垃圾雕像是社会雕像，它们不仅是让人们观看的，而且是在传播一种思想：我们生活在一个充满垃圾的时代。由此可推知，艺术家要通过艺术来承担起社会责任。

26．Which of the following is the best title for the text?

A．Could You Be a Trash Artist?

B．What Are Social Sculptures?

C．Do You Know About Trash Art?

D．How Can We Deal with Used Cans?

A　解析：标题归纳题。根据最后一段第一句“You can be an artist like Schult if you try.”可知，如果我们去尝试，每个人都可以成为像Schult一样的艺术家。A项“你能成为一个垃圾艺术家吗？”与文章中心思想一致。

C

People all need friends because nobody wants to be lonely and a friend can help you in good and bad times. You’ve made friends since childhood，but you still don’t know who your true friends are. Here are some signs to tell you if your friend is a true friend：

Always honest

Honesty is important to keep a relationship alive. A true friend always tells you the truth. It may be hard sometimes but lying can destroy a friendship. It is important that your friend speaks honestly and never makes up stories.

________

There are always periods in your life when you have problems or difficulties. A true friend will always have time to listen to your problems and give advice. He/She may not be able to offer a solution to your problems but the fact that your friend made time to listen is a sign he/she cares for you. Your friend is not a true friend if he/she can never make time for you when you are in trouble. You also need to be reasonable and accept that your friend also has other things to do so he/she can’t always listen immediately to your problems.

Always respectful(尊敬的)

A true friend will always respect your opinion no matter whether he/she agrees or not. Your true friend may disagree but never insists that he/she is correct.

Always understanding

It is possible that some problems will arise between you and your friend. A true friend will always be forgiving(体谅的) and understanding, even if it isn’t his/her fault. We are all different people and we all make mistakes. A true friend is always forgiving and understanding because he/she doesn’t want to take the risk of losing his/her best friend.
