11、Many books have been written about “the art of giving”. And we also know that it’s hard to give people a gift, 1 a personal one. If we want to make it better, we should understand who you will give the gift to and their likes and 2 .

As is often the case, some little kids think they don’t get enough gifts 3 some old people think they get too many

gifts. Different people like different kinds of gifts. Some presents are never too 4 . For example, when a little child just gives his or her mother a leaf from a tree, it is enough to make her very 5 .

Gift giving is different in different 6 . Here are some of their likes. In Japan, people sometimes give special gifts. But they are not opened. Later, the same gift may be given away to someone 7 , because many people have enough things and don’t want 8 gifts themselves. In Canada, a tree can help remember 9 . In the USA, some people ask their families and friends to give money to charity rather than buying them gifts. In Sweden, doing

something for someone is the best gift. People don’t need to 10 too much money. Instead, making a meal for him or her is enough.

To make things 11 , some people would rather just give money. In some cultures, however, 12 money can make people uncomfortable. “When someone gives me money, it just makes me think they’re being lazy,” says John Wilson. “In England, we have a saying: It’s the thought that 13 . When someone gives me money, I feel they don’t think it about at all. I prefer to receive a gift 14 has some thought behind it.”

13、We walked all afternoon with Infadoos and Scragga. Their men walked about a hundred metres ahead of us. “When did your people, the Kukuana, come to this place?”

“They came from the north many thousands of moons ago,” Infadoos explained. “When they reached the mountains, they could go no farther. They stayed here where the land is good and there is water.” “Do you live here in peace?” I asked.

“There have been two wars. Once an army came down from the north, but we killed most of them. Soon after that, we fought among ourselves.” He said, “The king at that time had two sons—twins. When he died, both young men wanted to be king. One of the twins, Twala, killed the other and became king.”

“Did the dead man have a wife and children?” I asked. I knew that if he did, the fighting could start again one day. “Yes. He had a wife, Imotu, and a son, Ignosi. They ran away.” He pointed to a village a short way ahead. “That is the village where Imotu and Ignosi first hid,” he said. “We shall stay there tonight..”

As soon as we were within a mile or so of the village, an army of men came out. As we passed them, they shouted a welcome.

Their women were in the village. They stopped whatever they were doing to watch us pass by, but they were not rude. As soon as we were comfortable in a hut, they came with milk, honey, and cooked food.

A young man brought a fat young ox which he killed and cut into pieces. We took a few pieces for ourselves and gave

him the rest. We don’t want them to think we were selfish.（选自《所罗门王的宝藏》，有删节） 1．The Kukuana people moved a long way ________before they stayed in this place. A．east B．west C．south D．north

A letter of reply is sometimes a most treasured thing. Here is a story that tells about this common and natural human 14、feeling.

The busiest woman in Labrador during one bitter cold Christmas not very long ago, was an Australian nurse named Kate Austen. But Nurse Austen was not too busy to write with a long, friendly letter for every gift of food or clothing received for poor villagers in the north of Australian. Among the gifts was a box of knittings (毛线编织品) for children, knitted and sent by a woman in Toronto.

Nurse Austen, was busy, and not feeling too well that winter. She could have written just ordinary routine notes of acknowledgement. But that was not her way. She sat down and wrote the woman in Toronto a real letter telling all about the village, and the names of the children who were wearing the knitted gloves and caps, and what they said when they got them, and how they looked when they wore them. She wanted the woman who had knitted and sent all those lovely knittings “to see how much happiness and warmth she had created.” Not long after, she received the following answer from Canada. Dear Miss Austen,

Your letter made me happy. I did not expect such a full return, I am eighty years old, and I am blind. There is little I can do expect knit, and that is why I knit so many caps and sweaters scarves. For sixty years I have been making up missionary packages of such clothing or food or medicine or book as I could collect. But never before in all that time have I had a personal letter picturing the village and telling me who is wearing the clothing and what they said. I did not suppose that ever in my lifetime I should receive a letter like that. My God bless you.

Sincerely yours, Laura N. Russell 根据材料内容选择最佳答案，并将其标号填入题前括号内。 1．According to the passage, a letter of reply is not ． A．a common thing B．a treasured thing C．a natural thing D．a boring thing

B．Because she was a kindhearted woman. C．Because she was thankful for the knittings.

D．Because she wanted the woman to know the happiness and warmth she had created. 4．What do you think of the letter from Nurse Austen? A．A waste of much time. B．A valuable letter. C．An interesting letter. D．An unforgettable letter. 5．What can we learn from the two women? A．We should be polite to others.

B．When we receive a letter we should write back soon C．We should respect each other

D．We should express our thanks to the people who help you.

15、Koala Joey

Far away in Australia, a koala sits high in a eucalyptus tree. She grips a branch with the rough pads and sharp claws on her paws. In her pouch (小袋) she hides something special—her baby.

At birth the baby koala, called a joey, does not look like his furry mom. He is pink and bald（无毛的）and as small as a jellybean. Although he cannot see, he moves his legs and crawls. He smells milk and, without any help, starts to feel his way to his mother’s pouch. Five minutes later he slips (滑) inside.

Inside the pouch, the joey drinks his mother’s milk and grows. His eyes open. His ears form, and he hears his mother’s calls. Soon thick fur covers his body. By the time the joey is ready to explore the world, he looks like his mother.

At five months old, the joey peers out of his pouch. He eats a special soft food from his mother called pap. When the joey eats pap, he gets bacteriafrom his mother’s stomach in his tummy too. He will need the bacteria to eat eucalyptus （细菌）leaves, like grownup koalas do.

In another month, the joey leaves the pouch for the first time. He clings（贴着）to his mother’s belly while she climbs in the treetops. By the time he is eight months old, the joey no longer fits in his mother’s pouch. But he still drinks her milk.

Now, for a few hours each night, the joey climbs on his mother’s back for a ride. While riding piggyback, he reaches for eucalyptus leaves. Just like mom, he nips (咬) off leaves and chews them. The leaves have plenty of water in them, so koalas rarely go to the ground for a drink. When the joey is about one year old, his piggyback days are over. Now he climbs to the treetops by himself. On each of his front paws, he has two thumbs opposite his three fingers. He can grip branches and grab leaves.

The young koala spends more and more time away from his mother. He no longer drinks her milk. He dozes (打瞌睡，打盹) alone on tree branches. Soon he will move to another tree and live on his own. 1．When a joey is eight months old, it can _________. A．eats a food called pap B．rides on his mother’s back C．sleeps on tree branches D．clings to his mother’s belly

2．A joey stops drinking its mother’s milk when it is about_______.

A．one year old B．six months old C．eight months old D．five months old 3．Paragraph 2 is mainly about_________. A．the name of a baby koala B．what a newborn koala is like C．the size of a baby koala

D．what kind of fur a newborn koala has

4．The author most likely wrote this passage to________. A．introduce readers about baby koalas B．tell a funny story about a baby koala C．encourage people to protect baby koalas D．compare a baby koala to other baby animals

18、 \" Were the birds on the ice ducks or geese (鹅) ?\" Cruz, 11 , and Anthony, 12，couldn't agree. There was only one way to find out. So on a cold January evening, the two friends took a risk onto the frozen(冻结的) lake near their homes.

\"First,, we threw a stone onto the ice to test it. We thought it would hold our weight. Then we stepped on it,\" Cruz said. Anthony went first. He took a few steps, then... He fell through the seemingly frozen ice!

The boys were up to their necks in icy water and quickly losing feeling in their arms and legs. Cruz had a sense that he was going to die.

Anthony's older sister had seen all this and started shouting for help. John Lavin, a neighbor driving nearby heard her. He quickly pulled over. He caught a nearby float(浮板) , kicked off his shoes. and ran into the water, clearing his way through the ice with his free hand. \"It was kind of a ' Hulk smash’” Lavin later joked.
