It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so obvious? This story may have happened a while back ---but it was a 36

It was Thanksgiving Day and I was 37 with my parents at a shelter centre for the needy. Standing behind the counter, we 38 hot food to whoever came in.

he wasn’t going to take food 44 for those who were really in need!
Then my mother 45 took me to one side. She said, “You have 46
that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical: hunger, lack of
47 , clothing and so on. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those
48 . But what if his needs are 49 ? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?” Her words 50 me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should 51 to the man ---but I didn’t .
About a week later the shelter centre received a large 52 from an anonymous(匿名)source. I can’t help but 53 if it came from that man.

第三部分 阅读理解（共20小题；每小题2分，满分40分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。
A
At a certain time in our lives we consider every place as the possible site for a house. I have thus searched the country within a dozen miles of where I live. In imagination I have bought all the farms, one after another, and I knew their prices.
The nearest thing that I came to actual ownership was when I bought the Hollowell place. But before the owner completed the sale with me, his wife changed her mind and wished to keep it, and he offered me additional dollars to return the farm to him. However, I let him keep the additional dollars and sold him the farm for just what I gave for it.
The real attraction of the Hollowell farm to me was its position, being about two miles from the village, half a mile from the nearest neighbor, bounded on one side by the river, and separated from the highway by a wide field. The poor condition of the house and fences showed that it hadn’t been used for some time. I remembered from my earliest trip up the river that the house used to be hidden behind a forest area, and I was in a hurry to buy it before the owner finished getting out some rocks, cutting down the apple trees, and clearing away some young trees which had grown up in the fields. I wanted to buy it before he made any more of his improvements. But it turned out as I have said.
I was not really troubled by the loss. I had always had a garden, but I don’t think I was ready for a large farm. I believe that as long as possible it is better to live free and uncommitted (无牵挂的). It makes but little difference whether you own a farm or not.
56. What do we know about the author?
A. He wanted to buy the oldest farm near where he lived.
B. He made a study of many farms before buying.
C. He made money by buying and selling farms.
D. He had the money to buy the best farm in the country.
57. Why did the author decide to buy the Hollowell place?
A. It was of good market value. B. It was next to the highway.
C. It was in a good position. D. It was behind a nice garden.
58. Why did the author want to buy the farm in a hurry?
A. He was afraid the owner might changes his mind.
B. He hoped to enlarge the forest on the farm.
C. He wanted to keep the farm as it was.
D. He was eager to become a farm owner.
59. The underlined words “the loss” in the last paragraph refer to ___.
A. the money the author lost in buying the farm
B. the sale of the garden in the Hollowell place
C. the removal of the trees around the house
D. the failure to possess the Hollowell place
60. What does the author believe as important in life?
A. To own a farm B. To satisfy his needs
C. To be free from worries D. To live in the countryside
B
In a moment of personal crisis, how much help can you expect from a New York taxi driver? I began studying this question and found the answers interesting.
One morning I got into three different taxis and announced, “Well, it’s my first day back in New York in seven years. I’ve been in prison.” Not a single driver replied, so I tried again. “Yeah, I shot a man in Reno.” I explained, hoping the driver would ask me why, but nobody asked. The only response came from a Ghanaian driver, “Reno? That is in Nevada?”
Taxi drivers were uniformly sympathetic when I said I’d just been fired. “This is America,” a Haitian driver said. “One door is closed. Another is open.” He argued against my plan to burn down my boss’s house. A Pakistani driver even turned down a chance to profit from my loss of hope; he refused to take me to the middle of George Washington Bridge—a $20 trip. “Why you want to go there? Go home and relax. Don’t worry. Take a new job.”
One very hot weekday in July, while wearing a red ski mask and holding a stuffed pillowcase with the word “BANK” on it, I tried calling a taxi five times outside different banks. The driver picked me up every time. My ride with a Haitian driver was typical of the superb assistance I received.
“Let’s go across the park.” I said. “I just robbed the bank there. I got $25,000.”
“$25,000?” he asked.
“Yeah, you think it was wrong to take it?”
“No, man. I work 8 hours and I don’t make almost $70. If I can do that, I do it too.”
As we approached 86th and Lexington, I pointed to the Chemical Bank.
“Hey, there’s another bank,” I said, “Could you wait here a minute while I go inside?”
“No, I can’t wait. Pay me now.” His reluctance may have something to do with money—taxi drivers think the rate for waiting time is too low—but I think he wanted me to learn that even a bank robber can’t expect unconditional support.
61. From the Ghanaian driver’s response, we can infer that ____.
A. he was indifferent to the killing B. he was afraid of the author
C. he looked down upon the author D. he thought the author was crazy
62. Why did the Pakistani driver refuse to take the author to the middle of the George Washington Bridge?
A. Because he was able to help the author to find a new job.
B. Because he wanted to go home and relax.
C. Because it was far away from his home.
D. Because he thought that the author would commit suicide.
63. What is the author’s interpretation of the driver’s reluctance “to wait outside the Chemical bank”?
A. The driver was too busy to wait.
B. The driver thought it wrong to support a taxi rider unconditionally.
C. The driver was frightened and wanted to leave him as soon as possible.
D. The driver did not want to help a suspect to escape from a bank robbery.
64. Which of the following statements is true about New York taxi drivers?
A. They are ready to help you do whatever you want to.
B. they often refuse to pick up those who would kill themselves.
C. They are sympathetic with those who are out of work.
D. They work only for money.
65. The passage mainly discusses ____.
A. how to please taxi drivers.
B. how to deal with taxi drivers
C. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards riders with problems
D. the attitudes of taxi drivers towards their work
C
Mulch(护盖物;护根层) is important to farmers. Mulch is a protective cover of material that is spread on top of soil. It is usually made out of organic material, like crop waste. Farmers may keep the remains of maize or other crops on top of the soil. This creates mulch on the soil surface. The plant remains help protect the soil against wind and water damage. Mulching is one of the best things people can do for their plants. Mulch not only protects the soil against wind and water damage.It also helps keep the soil from getting too dry, and reduces the need for watering plants. It also limits temperature changes in the soil. And it stops unwanted plants, or weeds, from growing.
Organic mulch improves the condition of soil. As the mulch breaks down, it provides material which keeps the soil from getting hard. This improves the growth of roots and increases the movement of water through the soil. It also improves the ability of the soil to hold water. Organic mulch contains nutrients for plants. It also provides a good environment for earthworms and other helpful organisms in the soil.
The United States Department of Agriculture says it is easy to find organic mulch materials. Cut-up leaves and small pieces of tree bark can be used. Grass cuttings are also a good mulch for plants. Mulch from newspapers works well in controlling weeds.
The best time to add mulch depends on your goal. Mulch provides a thick barrier between the soil and the air. This helps to reduce temperature changes in the soil. As a result, mulched soil will be cooler than other soil in the summer. In winter, the mulched soil may not freeze as deeply as other soil. The best time is after the ground has frozen, but before the coldest weather arrives. Spreading mulch before the ground has frozen may attract small animals searching for a warm place to spend the winter. Delaying the spreading should prevent this problem. The animals will probably find another place to live.
66. The author tells us the following EXCEPT ___________.
A. what mulch is and its benefits
B. the best time to add mulch
C. what can be mulch on the soil surface
D. the bad effects of mulch
67. The following can be used as organic materials to make mulch EXCEPT _______.
A. tree barks B. cut-up leaves C. grass cuttings D. plastic
68. Which of the following is the benefit of mulch?
A. Protecting the soil against wind and water damage.
B. Keeping the soil wet and reducing the need for watering plants
C. Reducing temperature changes in the soil and stopping unwanted weeds growing.
D. All of the above.
69. The main idea of Paragraph 2 is that organic mulch can ______.
A. improve the condition of soil
B. improve the ability of the soil to hold water
C. provide a good environment for earthworms
D. improve the growth of roots and increase the movement of water through the soil
70. From the last paragraph, we know ______.
A. the best time to add mulch is in spring and summer
B. the best time to add mulch is after the coldest weather arrives
C. the best time to add mulch depends on weather
D. choosing the best time to add mulch can avoid attracting small animals
D
How do you know if your home is an easy aim for thefts? Around the holidays, many families don’t consider taking proper measures to prevent their homes from suffering holiday thefts. With just a few simple steps, you can better make sure of the safety of your home during all of the holiday celebrations. Here are a few tips for making it difficult to tell you are away from home.
● Either have a trusted neighbor pick up your mail and newspapers, or tell your mailperson to hold your mail until you return. Nothing says “Hey, we are not home!” like when your postbox is filled with all kinds of mails and you have many different newspapers in your driveway.
● Set several different lights in your house on random timers (随机定时器). Don’t leave your outdoor lights on all the time. Instead, put your outside lights on timers to be on during the nights. If an outdoor light remains on for days at a time, it means that nobody is home to turn it off.
● If you have pets that you are not taking with you on vacation, leave them with a friend, rather than having someone come into your house every day to take care of them. When thefts see a neighbor or friend entering your house every day, they will know you are not home.
● Close all your curtains when you leave town. This is effective to deter possible thefts, as no one can see what is in your house. If they don’t know what is inside, then they are less likely to run the risk of breaking in.
● This article just has suggested a few tips to help you keep your house safe while you are on holiday. Nothing can truly protect your home unless you have it monitored by a professional home security system.

A. be lit in an irregular way B. be kept on all the night
C. be replaced by random timers D be turned on only once one day
73. To make your home is well protected, what does the writer advise you to do?
A. Have all the curtains closed B. Stop your mail service at once
C. Turn to your close neighbors or friends
D. Equip your home with security system

［1］Peer tutoring (同伴指导)benefits many students in several ways. Peer tutors can help themselves in understanding materials. They have to master the material themselves and come to a deeper understanding to teach others rather than getting taught by a teacher.
［2］Peer tutors get communication and social skills by tutoring. In order to communicate the meaning of material clearly and make it understood, they must practice the necessary skills to communicate with other people. These skills also carry over socially as it’s much easier, especially for shy children to communicate with someone than to communicate with a large group as in a classroom. It’s common for the tutor and his student to become friends. Developing leadership skills, confidence and a sense of responsibility is easy for a tutor. The tutor becomes a better student, gains more confidence and understands the teacher’s role better.
［3］Those ___________ can also benefit greatly from peer tutoring. Since the tutors are of the same age as the students, it’s more comfortable for the children who have trouble with the material and in need of help to get taught by the same age tutors. This will allow them to ask more questions without fear and to come to a better understanding of the material. The tutor may be able to pass on little tips and tricks that helped him understand the material better.
［4］The process of peer tutoring works for all the related people. It’s easy to relate to someone of the same age. The tutor learns to improve skills useful later in life. The teacher has more time to concentrate on students. It’s a winning situation for everyone.
