      It was a cool, rainy day and it was the day before Thanksgiving—the first one my three children and I would be spending without their father, who passed away several months ago. Now the two older children were sick with the flu. I hurried around, trying to care for each child: thermometers, medicine, juice and bread. I found the children had run out of fruits. But what almost broke me down was that I only had    $2. 50 left?and this should last until the end of the month.
That?s when I heard the phone ring. It was the secretary from our former church, and she told me that they had been thinking about us and had something to give us. I called at the church on my way to the market just before lunch. The church secretary met me at the door and handed me two currency notes(流通券), each worth $20. I was so moved that I cried.
     Then I drove on to a store near our home for something needed for the children. The things I picked up cost me a little over $14. 00, and I handed the cashier(收银员) one note. She took it and looked at it for a long time. I thought something
might be wrong and told her that I was a single parent and how I got it. With tears in her eyes, the cashier said that morning she had prayed(祈祷) to help someone, and I gave her the chance. She added a turkey to my items(货物), took out two $20 bills and paid for my items. Once more I was moved to tears.
    As I walked to my car, I was still moved by the strangers’ love and realized that God loves my family. He shows us his love through others? hands.
51. What made the author become sad the day before Thanksgiving?
      A. It was cool and raining outside.
     B. Her two older children got the flu.
     C. Her children had no fruits to eat.

52. How did the author get the two currency notes from the church?
     A. She drove to the church to take them.
     B. She let her children go there to get them.
     C. The church secretary sent them to her home.
     D. She called the church to ask for them.
53. What did the cashier do for the author?
     A. She paid for all the author?s items in the store.
     B. She gave the author $40 and a turkey for free.
     C. She made sure the note was true.
     D. She believed the author and moved her to tears.
54. We can infer from the passage that _____ .
    A. the author?s husband lived in another place
    B. people often do good things only near Thanksgiving
    C. life was hard for the author and her children
    D. the author was a person who always cried
                                                                                                                             (B)
    Did you hear the saying ?If you want a friend, be one. ??
    Here is how one new teacher made friends with the girls and the boys in her class on the first day of school. As the bell rang, the teacher smiled at each girl and boy. Then she said in a quiet voice, ?Good morning. How nice it is to have all of you in my class this year. I?d like to know each of you. I am sure we will enjoy working together. ? Everyone felt that she meant what she said because of her sweet voice and her friendly look.
She told the girls and boys her name and wrote it on the blackboard. Then she told them some of the things she liked to do and she was hoping to do with them during the year. Then she said to the class, ?Now you know my name and the things I like and I want to know your names and the things you like. Then I will feel that I know you. ? Could you make friends by doing the same things as the teacher did?
    One way of getting to know and to like the other girls and boys in your class is to find out more about them. It is often easy to be friends with those people, who have the same
hobbies with you, play the same games, and have made the same journeys you have.
    You may find that some new comers in your class may miss their old friends and feel strange and alone. You can invite them to walk to and from school or to ride bikes with you. You will find many things to talk about. Just talking together in a friendly manner(方式) is one good way to make friends.
55. What does the underlined sentence “If you want a friend, be one. ” in Paragraph 1 mean?
     A. If you want to have a friend, try to make one by your friend.
     B. You can make friends by doing what a friend should do.
     C. You may have a friend by doing everything for him.
     D. When you need a friend, you have to be a friend of yourself.
56. The teacher?s sweet voice and her friendly look _____ .
     A. showed that she would like to be a friend of the girls and boys
     B. made every girl and boy happy
     C. told the girls and the boys everything about herself
     D. meant she wanted to tell the boys and girls something interesting
57. A new comer will be your friend if _____ .
     A. he always thinks of his old friends  B. you ask him to do something
     C. he knows you very well    D. you talk with him in a friendly way
58. What is the best title of the passage?
    A. A Friendly Way of Making Friends
    B. How to Make Friends between Teachers and Students
    C. The Relationship(关系) between Teachers and Students
    D. Making Friends

                                                                                                                                     （C）
     In choosing a friend, one should be very careful. A good friend can help you study. You can have fun together and make each other happy. Sometimes you may meet fair-weather friends. They will be with you as long as you have money or luck, but when you are down, they will run away. How do I know when I have found a good friend?  I look for certain qualities (品质) of character, especially understanding, honesty and reliability (可靠).
Above all else, I look for understanding in a friend. A good friend tries to understand how another person is feeling. He is not quick to judge. Instead, he tries to learn from others. He puts himself in the other person?s place, and he tries to think of ways to be helpful. He is also a good listener. At the same time, however, a good friend is honest. He does not look for faults (过错) in others. He notices their good points. In short, a friend will try to understand me and accept me.
Another quality of a friend is reliability. I can always depend on (信赖) a good friend. If he tells me he will meet me somewhere at a certain time, I can be sure that he will be there. If I need a favor, he will do his best to help me. If I am in trouble, he will not run away from me.
    There is a fourth quality that makes a friend special. A special friend is someone with whom we can have fun. We should enjoy our lives, and we would enjoy our friendship. That is why I especially like friends who are fun to be with. A good friend likes the same things as I do. We share experience(经验) and learn from each other. A good friend has a good sense of humor, too. He likes to laugh with me. That is how we share in the joy of being friends. And I know that he is looking for the same quality in me.
    When I meet someone who is reliable, honest, and understanding, I know I’ve found a friend!
59. Which of the following qualities the writer thinks is the most important in choosing a friend?
     A. Understanding.        B. Honesty.   C. Reliability. 　   D. A sense of humor.
60. If you have fair-weather friends, ______ .
     A. they will give you all that they have when you need help
     B. you will be refused when you get into trouble
     C. you will become rich
     D. you can be sure that you get real friends
61. Good friends need to ______ .
     A. always point out each other’s mistakes        B. be helped with money
    C. understand each other’s feelings                   D. have money or luck
62. This passage mainly discusses ______ .
      A. the qualities of a friend                         B. where to choose friends
     C. how to get along with friends               D. the importance of having a friend

                                                                                                                                (D)

Did you understand anything the teacher explained? Perhaps the lesson was difficult, but you tried to understand it. Write these achievements(成就）in your diary.
You must be active in about learning English and believe that you can do it. It is important to practise every day and make a record of your achievements. You will enjoy learning English, and you will feel more confident in yourself.

In high school, all Canadian students take part in a very exciting
event. It is “Take your Children to Work Day”. Students will have a chance to work with their parents. My day took place in my mom’s work, the York Region(地区)Police Department(局).
When I arrived, a coach(教练)was teaching the officers basic combat skills(格斗技巧). Everyone tried their best to practice. I could see them sweating(流汗)and panting(喘气).

Suddenly, the phone rang, he picked it up and a woman cried for help. There was a robbery(抢劫)in her house. The call dispatcher told her: “Please calm down and move to the safe place quietly. Don’t fight with them. Just let them take what they want. Please make sure you are not hurt. We are sending officers there. ”

I saw the police cars from the satellite map were quickly moving to the woman’s house. Five minutes later, they arrived. I asked the call dispatcher why he sent five cars. He said: “There are different levels of emergencies(紧急情况). Robbery is a high priority(优先), so we have to send five cars. ”
The day was exciting. I learned how the different departments worked together. The officers were very friendly and admirable(让人崇敬的).

书面表达

Dear Mayor,

         I have found that the pollution in our city is more and more serious. It is very important to deal with the rubbish in cities. Rubbish must be treated properly. Otherwise it may cause a lot of trouble. Here are my suggestions.

         First, we should take measures to solve the problem. For example, some rubbish can be sorted and sent to different factories. Rubbish like newspapers and glass will be treated and reused. Some harmful rubbish should be sent to a certain place and buried. Waste water will also be treated before it is poured into river.

        Second, to protect the environment, it is necessary to pass laws to prevent people from throwing rubbish everywhere. Everyone has the duty to fight against pollution. I hope my advice will be helpful to you.

                                                                Yours sincerely,

                                                                 Zhang Ming
