AWhen I was about 6, I really wanted a new bike! I told my parents my birthday wish but I knew there was little hope, for my family could hardly afford one.On my birthday my parents told me they had my gift outside in the backyard. Immediately I rushed out to the yard. There was my bike, but it was n’t the bike that I thought it would be. This one was pink, old and worn with age. I was so disappointed.I thought I hurt my parents because I could see the disappointment on their faces when they noticed my expression. I got on the old bike and rode it, feeling bad because I had made my parents feel that way. So I put on a smile, rode as fast as I could and didn’t look back.My parents gave me much more than just a rusty (生锈的) old bike. They gave me a life lesson about love. When you give something out o f love, it doesn’t matter what it actually is. What matters is the love in it. I like to remember this story because giving a gift is not about money or something else. It’s about how much love you can feel from it. Do remember, a gift that costs $2 isn’t necessarily any less valuable than one that costs $100 or even more.21.

According to the author, what is the most important about a gift?A. How much it costs.B. The use of it.C. The love in it.D. How it looks.23. What can we know from the text?A. The parents thought their son wouldn’t like the bike.B. The parents bought other gifts besides the old bike.C. The author will never forget his birthday bike.D. A $100 gift is more valuable than a $2 one.BSuppose you are a visitor in the land of Mongolia, some friends ask you to eat with them. What kind of manners do they want you to have? They want you to give a loud burp after you finish eating. Burping would show that you like your food. In some countries, if you give a big burp, you are told to say “Excuse me, please”.In many places people like to eat together. But in some parts of Polynesia it is bad manners to be seen eating at all. People show their good manners by turning their backs on others while they eat.What are manners like in an East African town? The people try not to see you. They are being polite. You may see a friend. He may not see you at all. If you are polite, you will sit down beside him. You will wait until he finishes what he is doing. Then he will talk to you. Manners are different all over the world. But it is good to know that all manners begin in the same way. People need ways to show that they want to be friends.24.

The text is probably from a .A. newspaperB. magazineC. notice boardD. web pageDOne of the United States’ social problems is the breakdown of the two-parent family. Today, millions of American children grow up without fathers. Too often, these children lack the love and help they badly need and which they would ordinarily receive from not one but two parents. In the old days, American parents placed the needs of their children above their own. At present, however, nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce(离婚), with often troubling results for their children. Worse, every year, thousands of teenage, unmarried Americans become mothers outside marriage. However, Chinese continue to value whole marriages. This is not to say that Chinese marriages are all perfect - they certainly are not, there are increasing more divorces in China - but the willingness of Chinese to set aside their own needs and stay together for the sake of the children is highly respected and worthy of study.Families are important to Americans. If one was to ask a group of Americans what is the dearest to them, the majority would say “family”. And yet, so many Americans spend much more time at work- that is, beyond the formal forty-hour work week - than they do with their own families. It seems to me that Chinese generally find a better balance between work and family needs than many Americans do. Average Chinese usually head home right after work，have meals together, and spend time with their familymembers. What’s more, Chinese try to make more time for grandparents, uncles, aunts and cousins than many Americans; in many cases, multigenerational families live together. Of course, like many facts of Chinese society, this is all changing; increasing numbers o f “New Chinese” are working longer hours and spending less time with their families than ever before. Still, while Americans do value their loved ones, I think we have something to learn from the Chinese about finding the proper balance between work and family.32. According to the passage, the American family value in the past is that .A. Americans love their families more than their jobsB. Americans often set aside their children’s needsC. Americans have a strong work desireD. American parents place the needs of their children above their own33. What does the author think according to the passage?A. Children living in one-parent families badly need their parents’ love and help.B. Children with one-parent need their parents’ money badly.C. Chinese value whole marriage more than before.D. Work is the dearest to most Chinese.34. It can be concluded from the passage that .A. The breakdown in China will be more serious than that in the U. S.B. Chinese marriage is said to be all perfectC. Today nearly one half of all new marriages end in divorce in ChinaD. Americans should reduce their working hours for their famlies35. The main point of the passage is .A. Family plays a very important role in AmericaB. There is something about family for Americans to learn from ChinaC. A proper balance between work and family needs to be found for ChineseD. The Chinese have a proper balance between work and play第二节 (共5小题; 每小题2分, 满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
