It’s easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so clear? This story may have happened not long ago--- but it was a lesson which has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the needy. We served hot food to whoever came in. Most of our dinners looked like they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty. Then, a man came in, who looked anything but needy. He was well dressed. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food. The closer he came to my service station , the more I muttered (小聲抱怨). What was this man doing? Surely he wasn’t going to take food which was meant for those who were really in need!
Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, “You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical, hunger, etc. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those problems. But what if his needs are emotional（情感的）? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings? Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man--- but I didn’t.
About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous source. I can’t help but wonder if it came from that man.
Now, whenever I meet someone I remember my mother’s lesson and try to send kindness their way, no matter how they look. Needs aren’t always seen. But kindness always makes a difference.
小題1:How did the author feel as the well-dressed man joined the line for food?
A．SurprisedB．ExcitedC．NervousD．Hopeless
小題2:The author’s mother mainly wanted to tell the author that we ______.
A．shouldn’t judge a man by his appearance.
B．shouldn’t complain about others
C．should give others what they want.
D．should accept everything we meet
小題3:What does the underlined word “anonymous” in Paragraph 4 probably mean?
A．ImportantB．UnknownC．IndependentD．Excellent
小題4:From the last paragraph, we learn that ______.
A．seeing is believing
B．it’s difficult to be kind to others
C．some rich people pretend to be poor.
D．we should help people in the way they need.
小題5:What would be the best title for the text?
A．My mother’s influence on my growth
B．The importance of volunteering
C．One of my most shameful experiences
D．My mother’s simple lesson in kindness

小題1:A

小題4:D
小題5:D

試題分析：
小題1:A 推理題。根據(jù)第二段4,5行I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw (下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the line for food.說明當(dāng)他加入隊伍的時候，我非常驚訝。故A正確。
小題2:A 推理題。根據(jù)文章最后一段no matter how they look. Needs aren’t always seen.說明我們不能以貌取人，故A正確。
小題3:B 推理題。根據(jù)本句received a large donation from an anonymous source. I can’t help but wonder if it came from that man.根據(jù)后半句我忍不住想這筆錢是來自那個人，故這筆捐款是匿名的。故該詞指unknown.故B正確。
小題4:D 推理題。根據(jù)媽媽對我所說的話：You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical, hunger, etc. And this gentleman doesn’t seem to have any of those problems. But what if his needs are emotional（情感的）? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other human beings?說明我們不能按照外貌來判斷一個人是否需要幫助。我們要按照對方需要幫助的方式來提供幫助，故D正確。
小題5:主旨大意題。文章講述了在幫助別人的時候媽媽給我上的一課：不要外貌來決定是否提供幫助，而要根據(jù)對方的需要。
點評：文章講述了在幫助別人的時候媽媽給我上的一課：不要外貌來決定是否提供幫助，而要根據(jù)對方的需要。本文難度較小，從選項中可以看出，本大題主要還是考查了上下文的推理能力，但更加注重綜合語言能力的運用，需要根據(jù)故事情節(jié)，體會細(xì)節(jié)情感。

   19 the light suddenly went out. So they had to  20  work. Tom was regretful to have forgotten bringing along candles and had to wait   21 in a low mood. Just then he heard slight, hesitant knocks on his door that sounded clear in the   22 night.

A number of times Rosemary edged closer to Gordon , meaning to take his arm, but he edged away from her. She thought that she had offended him deeply, and that he was disappointed because she had pushed him away. She would have apologized if he had given her half a chance. But as a matter of fact, he was scarcely thinking of this any longer. It was the money business that was troubling him now. And the fact was that he would soon have to confess it. What nonsense it made of all he had said! Presently she stopped him, and swung him round to face her. “Gordon, why won’t you speak to me?” she said. “Are you still angry with me for what happened just now?”
“No, I was never angry with you. You’re not to blame. Something else has been worrying me all the way along, I’ve only eight pence left. I had just enough money for today when we started out, but that dinner bill upset everything. Can you lend me some money?’
Rosemary was amazed. “What does it matter if you’ve only eight pence left? How can you let yourself be worried by a thing like that? As though I objected to lending you money, aren’t I always telling you that I want to pay for myself when we go out together?’
“Yes, and you know how I hate you paying.”
“Oh, how silly you are.” She said. “Do you think there’s anything to be ashamed of in having no money?”
Gordon’s face went bright pink. “Of course there is ! It’s the only thing in the world there is to be ashamed of. I can’t be a complete human being—I don’t feel a human being –unless I’ve got money in my pocket.”

A．He didn’t say he was sorry.

Sometimes people cheat in daily life. When people cheat, it’s not fair to other people, like the kids who studied for the test or who were the true winners of a game.
Many people like the action of cheating. It makes difficult things seem easy, like getting all the right answers on the test. But it doesn’t solve the problem of not knowing the material and it won’t help on the next test --- unless the person cheats again.
Some people lose respect for cheaters and think less of them. The cheaters themselves may feel bad because they know they are not really earning that good grade. And, if they get caught cheating, they will be in trouble at school, and maybe at home, too.
Some kids cheat because they’re busy or lazy and they want to get good grades without spending the time studying. Other kids might feel like they can’t pass the test without cheating. Even when there seems to be a “good reason” for cheating, cheating isn’t a good idea.
If you were sick or upset about something the night before and couldn’t study, it would be better to talk with the teacher about this. And if you don’t have enough time to study for a test because of swim practice, you need to talk with your parents about how to balance swimming and school.
A kid who thinks cheating is the only way to pass a test needs to talk with the teacher and his or her parents so they can find some solutions(解決辦法) together. Talking about these problems and working them out will feel better than cheating.
小題1:The author thinks that when kids cheat in class, _______.
A．teachers should punish them
B．it does harm to their heath
C．it is unfair to other people
D．teachers shouldn’t stop them at once
小題2:Some students like cheating mainly because_________.
A．the material in the test is very difficult
B．they want to do better than the others
C．cheating can make hard things seem very easy
D．they have little time to study their lessons
小題3:The fourth paragraph mainly tells us______.
A．cheating isn’t a good idea
B．some kids don’t spend the time studying
C．some kids can’t pass the test without cheating
D．why kids cheat in the test
小題4:We can learn from the passage______.
A．cheaters are often thought highly of
B．people show no respect for those who cheat
C．parents whose kids cheat are often in trouble
D．kids cheat in the test because of swim practice
