 My husband and I have always been friendly with the clerks at the local convenience store where we often get gasoline. I don't think people appreciate what a difficult job these folks have sometimes. They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet.

  One of the clerks,Charlie,was missing his glasses one day. I commented on it and he said they'd been broken and that he couldn't afford a new pair. It was obvious that he was having a difficult time.

  We wondered how we could help him,so we turned to our own eye doctor for assistance with a plan. We had his secretary contact him,asking him to come in for an eye exam free of charge. We told the doctor to let him order whatever glasses he wanted and that we would pay for them. Although Charlie ques?tioned what was going on,the doctor just told him that someone had anonymously (用匿名的方式) donated the money for his new glasses. When we went in to pay the bill,the doctor told us he was so touched by our idea that he waived the exam fee and only charged us for half the price of the glas?ses!It was so wonderful to see Charlie in his new glasses and he enjoyed telling all the regular customers how it came about. I'm sure that upon hearing his story,ideas of kindness may have emerged in the minds of many people. He will never know who the gift was from and I hope the idea that good guys real?ly do get a break sometimes was planted for them.

1. What did the writer often buy in the local convenience store?

   A. Bread.

   B. Drink.

   C. Petrol.

   D. Fruit.

2. Why didn't the clerk Charlie wear glasses one day?

   A. A pair of glasses was too expensive for her.

   B. Her old glasses were broken.

   C. Her glasses were missing.

   D. She forgot to wear glasses.

3. From the passage,we can infer that      .

   A. Charlie was very clever.

   B. Charlie knew who donated money for the new glasses

   C. Charlie's income was very little

   D. Charlie must be near-sighted

4. The underlined word " waived" in the third paragraph can be replaced by     

   A. gave up   B. took up

   C. cut down   D. put off

5. The best title of the passage should be "      ”.

   A. The wonderful feeling of helping others

   B. How to help others

   C. A friendly clerk—Charlie

   D. A new pair of glasses

[文章大意]本文是一篇記敘文。主要講述了一對夫婦幫助自己常去的便利店的職員買了一副新眼鏡的故事。

1. C細節(jié)理解題。根據第一段中的"…where we often get gasoline."可知,她經常去買一些汽油(petrol) 。故選C項。

2. B細節(jié)理解題。根據第二段中的"I commented on it and he said they'd been broken..."可知B項是正確的。

3. C推理判斷題。根據第一段中的"They work for a little over minimum wage and I often wonder how they make ends meet."可知,Charlie作為該便利店的一員,工資收入較低。故C項是正確的。而A、D項文中并未提及,故排除;由最后一段的"He will never know who the gift was from —"可知B項不對。

4. A詞義猜測題。根據下文的"…and only charged us for half the price of the glasses!"可知,醫(yī)生因我們的行為而備受感動,因此沒有索要檢查費并且僅向我們要了眼鏡的一半的費用。故可知A項正確。give up放棄;take up 從事,占據5cut down削減;put off推遲。

5. D主旨大意題。本文主要講述了一對常去當地便利店的夫婦看到一位職員的眼鏡壞了,卻買不起一副新的眼鏡,從而產生要幫助他的想法,并通過自己的眼科醫(yī)生的幫助給這位職員買了一副新眼鏡的故事。故選D項。

  When you see wild geese heading south for the winter,flying along in a "V" formation (隊形) ,you might consider what science has discovered as to why they fly that way. As each bird flaps (拍打) its 1     ,it creates an uplift for the 2        immediately following. By 3        in "V" formation,the whole flock 4        at least 72 % greater flying range than if each bird flew on its own.

  People who 5     a common direction and a sense of community can get where they are going more quickly and 6     ,because they are travelling on the push of one another.

  When a wild goose 7      out of formation,it suddenly feels the drag and resistance (阻力) of trying to go it 8      and quickly gets back into formation to take advantage of the 9      power of the bird in front.

  If we have as much sense as a wild goose,we will 10     in formation with those people who are 11      in the same direction as we are.  

  When the head wild goose gets tired,it rotates back in the wing and another wild goose flies point.

  It is sensible to 12     turns doing demanding jobs,whether with people 13     with wild geese flying south. Wild geese honk (叫) from behind to 14     those up front to keep up their speed.

  What message do we give when we honk from 15     ? Finally,when a wild goose gets sick or is  16      by gunshot,and falls out of formation,two other wild geese fall out with that wild goose and follow it down to lend help and 17.        They stay with the 18          wild goose until it is able to fly or until it dies and only then do they launch out on their own,or with another formation to 19        their group. If we have the 20     of a wild goose,we will stand by each other like that.

  May we all be " honkers" of encouragement to each other and to our friends and families!
