"Are you all sick?" I asked doubtfully because they seemed all right.
"Yes," the woman answered weakly and lowered her head.
But when they started to present their problems, things became unclear. The daughter had a fever, but her temperature was OK. The son had an earache, but he couldn't tell me which ear hurt. It seemed that the mother was pretending(假装)to cough.
Something was wrong. But I only explained that it might take a while before a doctor could meet them. "Take your time, please," said the mother. I checked their charts-no address. All of a sudden I knew they were homeless while the hospital was warm.
The family huddled(蜷缩)together under the Christmas tree, smiling and talking with each other sweetly. Quietly, I went back to the nurses' station and told them what happened in the waiting room. It was just like God sending us a gift on this Christmas night. The nurses' station suddenly came back to life. All the nurses went into action for "a Christmas emergency(急诊)".
We took out our meals for our Christmas "patients". We also put together oranges and apples as presents. We tried to exceed(超过)the needs of a family who only wanted a warm place on Christmas night. Later, the little girl kissed me and said, "Thanks for being our angel."

6.请阅读下面图文内容,按要求完成所给任务。
In a school, you may hear a student saying in Chinese,“我对汉语很感兴趣。“ but you're not in China. You're in a foreign country. Like the student, many foreigners are learning Chinese. But it's not easy. The Chinese use a different character(汉字) for each word. People have to memorize about 600 characters before they can do even basic reading and writing. For foreigners, it's hard to memorize them. And the following chart shows the top 3 difficulties for foreigners while learning Chinese.
● Writing Chinese characters
● Understanding the same word in different sentences
| ● Reading Chinese poems |
| April 20 Chinese Language Day As one of the six official working languages of the United Nations(UN)(联合国), Chinese Language Day has been celebrated since 2011. The UN holds colorful activities on this day. This helps spread Chinese and Chinese culture. |
Chinese is becoming a global (全球的) language and its popularity has risen around the world. Many countries set up Chinese courses in their schools.
For example, in the UK, students used to choose between Spanish, Latin, French and other foreign languages. But now schools encourage their students to study Chinese. The increase in popularity of Chinese has been surprising. 1031 people took Chinese language exams in 2001, and the number was 2062 last year, while 2561 people chose Spanish. It's predicted that studying Chinese in the UK could overtake (超过) Spanish in less than five years.
Just like the foreigners do, we also learn foreign languages. Different languages carry different cultures. So exchanges are necessary. By learning a foreign language, we not only have a useful tool of communicating, but experience a new culture, what's more important, learning a foreign language well will help us tell our own stories to the world.
(1)Please translate the underlined sentence into English.
(2)According to the passage, why is it difficult for foreigners to learn Chinese?
(3)Please translate the underlined sentence into Chinese.
(4)How does the UN celebrates Chinese Language Day?
(5)Compared with 2001, how many more people took Chinese language exams in the UK last year? What does the result tell us?
(6)What can you do by learning a foreign language?
【答案】 (1)I'm very/ really/ quite interested in Chinese./ I take / show a great interest in Chinese/...
(2)Because they have to memorize a large number of characters./ Because Chinese characters are not easy to write./ Because the same word has different meaning in different sentences./ Because they have difficulties in reading poems.
(3)中国悠久的历史和灿烂的文化吸引了许多外国人学习中文。
(4)It holds colorful activities./ By holding colorful activities.
(5)1031. (It tells us) the increase in popularity of Chinese is surprising in the UK./Chinese is becoming more and more popular in the UK.
(6)We / I can tell our own stories to the world./ We/ I can spread colorful Chinese culture to the world. / We/ I can teach foreign people Chinese./ We/ I can have more chances to find a good job.

'USA? Britain? Which country is better to study in?' We often hear such discussions. As China opens its door, it is a dream for many Chinese students to study abroad. They want to learn about the outside world.
It's true that studying abroad can help students develop themselves. Their foreign language skills will be improved and it may be easier to find jobs.
But there are problems that should be considered. Language is the first. Students must spend a lot of time learning another language.
Students must also learn to live without parents' care and deal with all kinds of things they haven't had to do before, like looking after themselves. There are reports about Chinese students abroad running into an ocean of difficulties and giving up finally. When they have to take care of themselves, it is hard for students to study well.
Finally, studying abroad brings a heavy burden (负担) to the family. For most Chinese parents, the cost of studying abroad is very high. But is it worth it?
We know that there are many famous people who have achieved success through their hard work in China. Liu Xiang is a good example. Once an American teacher invited him there, but he refused. He kept training hard with his Chinese teacher. He surprised the world when he won a gold medal at the Athens Olympic Games. So when you wonder which country is better to study in, think again.
| Title: Studying at home or study ________? | |
| Phenomenon(现象) | Studying abroad has become a ________ for Chinese students. |
| Advantages | It is helpful for Chinese students to ________ themselves. |
| It is helpful for Chinese students to ________ foreign language skills. | |
| It enables(使…能够) Chinese students to find jobs more ________. | |
| ________ | It ________ Chinese students too much time to learn a foreign language. |

| Parents may be under pressure(压力)because the cost of studying abroad is very ________ | |
| Purpose: To tell us studying abroad is not the only way to be ________ by describing Liu Xiang’s example. | |

8.根据短文内容,完成下面的表格。
In common with other countries, Britain has serious environmental problems. In 1952, more than 4,000 people died in London because of the smog. The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories and the situation improved a lot.
Today, London is much cleaner but there is a new problem: smog from cars. In December 1991, there was very little wind in London and pollution increased a lot. As a result, about 160 people died from pollution in just four days.
One of the problem is the new "out of town" shopping centres. In the past, people often walked to shops near their homes or went by bus. Now, many people drive to the new shopping centres. Because the small shops have disappeared in the downtown, more people have to travel to do their shopping.
Critics say that Britain needs better and cheaper public transport. Transport in Britain is very expensive. An early morning train trip from Glasgow to London (about 600km) can cost about £100, for example. A short 15-minute bus trip can cost over £1.00.
Many people are trying to reduce the use of cars in Britain. Some cities now have special bicycle paths and many people cycle to work. Some people also travel to work together in one car to reduce the pollution and the cost.
| Environmental ________ in Britain | |||
| Time | causes | ________ | Solutions |
| In the ________ | Smog ________ coal fires and factories | ________ 4,000 people died in 1952. | New laws were ________. |
| Today | Smog caused by ________. | About 160 people ________ in a few days in 1991. | ★Provide better and ________ public transport. ★Build special paths for bicycles. ★Travel to work ________ in one car. |

⑴根据第一段第一句 In common with other countries, Britain has serious environmental problems.可知本文的中心是英国的环境问题。故填problems。
⑵根据表格的分类:时间,原因,解决办法;和表格下方的内容可知此列是环境问题的后果,故填results。
⑶本文是现在与过去的对比,故填past。注意不可用1952,因为空格前有the。
⑷根据The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories 可知填from。
⑸根据出现4,000的这句话more than 4,000 people died in London可知用Over。
⑹根据The government introduced new laws to stop smog from coal fires and factories 可知填introduced。

Have you ever wondered what an American high school is really like? This article will describe a typical (典型的) high school and its students.
A typical American high school has several large buildings and enough space for about l, 500 students. Every student is given a locker. When students first arrive at school, they go straight to their lockers to put away or get their textbooks and to hang up their outdoor clothes. As American textbooks are expensive, students would rather loan (租借) than buy them. Students must pay back if they lose any of them.
American students have different types of school transport. They usually take a yellow school bus or walk to school if they live close enough. Sometimes their parents drive them to school. When they turn 16 years old, most take a free driving class at school for one term. If students earn passing grades in the class and also pass their state driver's exam, they can begin driving themselves to school.
Each day, students take six or seven classes. They must take Science, Maths, English and Social Studies. They can choose Art, Homemaking, Fashion Design and other classes. In some schools students are required to take one or more of the following special classes: Health Education, Physical Education or Foreign Language Studies. Students move to different classrooms for each subject. This is because each teacher has their own classroom. There is a five-minute break between classes, to give the students the time to hurry to their next class.
The regular school day usually ends early in the afternoon. After school more than half of the students are involved in after-school activities. These activities include sports-especially football, basketball, baseball and soccer or clubs, such as yearbook, speech, school newspaper, photograph or student government.

10.阅读下面材料,根据其内容,完成阅读任务。
American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select (挑选) their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don't select too many subjects, or you'll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, time arranging, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called "killer" by the last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30—50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand anywhere you like.
| Students | ⒈________ must be selected at the beginning of the term. ⒉At the first term, students can't select too many subjects, or they'll feel very ________ . ⒊Students can't select teachers called ________ . ⒋Many students buy some used textbooks ________ . |
| Teachers | ⒈The teachers encourage students to ask questions or show their opinions. ⒉They allow students to sit or stand anywhere they like instead of ________. |
【解析】【分析】主要讲了美国教育与中国教育的不同。

(4)根据In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks可知为了节省钱,许多学生买二手书,用to do不定式表目的,故填to save money。
(5)根据They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead they allow you to sit or stand anywhere you like.可知他们不经常让你坐好,而是允许你坐在或者站在你喜欢的地方,of是介词,所以后面的sit的ing形式,即sitting,故填sitting well。
