We got back into our car and before I started it, we noticed a man standing outside in front of the building. I could tell that he was a 36 man. His clothes were worn and it looked like he had gone in and gotten him some 37 or something warm to drink since it was cold this time of the year. He couldn’t have had enough money to get something to eat. That is not something I remember too 38 , because that is not what “moved” me.
The next thing I remember is a dog that 39 up to the front of the building. Being a dog 40 , I could tell she was a she, and I could tell that she had been feeding puppies(小狗). She was 41 in need of something to eat and I felt so bad for her.
My wife and I sat there and looked at her. We 42 that people walked by and didn’t even pet her. And we also did not do 43 . But someone did. The homeless man, who I 44 did not buy himself anything to eat, went back into the store. And 45 he did brought tears to me and my wife. He had gone into the store and with what 46 he may have had, bought a can of dog food and fed that dog.
I know that this story isn’t as inspirational as most 47 , but it plays a great part in our lives. You see, that was Mother’s Day weekend.

Ⅱ、短文填詞，每空1個單詞
Humans are responsible 48 causing changes in the environment that hurt animals and species(物種). We take 49 more space on Earth for our homes and cities. We pollute habitats(棲息地) . We illegally hunt and kill animals. All of these activities take resources and habitats away from plants and animals.
Human activity often changes or destroys the habitats(棲息地) 50 plants and animals need to survive. 51 human populations are growing so fast, animals and plants are disappearing many times faster 52 they have in the past 65 million years.
Animals and plants have always had a hard time surviving. Animals became extinct(滅絕的) in the past for a wide variety of reason. In some cases, competition for resources among animals led to extinction and in 53 cases, environmental changes caused extinction.
Fortunately, we humans are beginning to realize our mistakes, or we could destroy everything on Earth.
We must not only use our knowledge and abilities to manage the Earth, 54 also make the Earth 55 safe and healthy place where all animals and plants--- including humans ourselves--- can live.
第三部分：閱讀理解（共12小題；每小題 2 分，滿分24分）
請認真閱讀下列短文，從短文后各題所給的四個選項（A、B、C和D）中，選出最佳選項,并在答題卡上將該項涂黑。
A Chat Online
Your friends might be in Australia or maybe just down the road, but they are all just a few clicks away. Life has changed for millions of young people across the world who now make friends online. Whether you use chat-rooms, QQ, MSN or ICQ, you are a member of this group.
“I don’t often talk with my parents or grandparents, but I talk a lot with my old friends on QQ,” said Fox’s Shadow, the online name used by a girl student in China. “Most of my classmates use QQ after school.”
QQ is the biggest messaging service in China. A record from Tencent, the company which developed QQ, shows that 4 million people used it one Saturday night in October.
And probably Fox’s Shadow was one of them. “I log in (登陸) on Friday nights, and Saturday or Sunday when I feel everything around me boring. I usually spend about 10 hours chatting online every week,” she said. “But I never talk with strangers, especially boys or men.”
Even though she likes chatting, she is careful about making friends with strangers online. “You don’t know who you are talking to. You should always be careful about whom you believe on line.”
Many people would like to meet offline when they feel they have got to be known to someone very well. Fox’s Shadow once met one of her online friends face to face. It was a girl who was a football fan like herself and they went to a football match together.
A 16-year-old Beijing boy, named Simon online, dislikes QQ users. “I used to chat on QQ, but I found that most people were talking about foolish things,” he said. Now he chats online in English, using MSN. “I only chat online because I’ve got friends in Australia, the US and Singapore,” he said. “I want to learn more about foreign cultures.” But he spends little time chatting on QQ as he sees it as a waste of time and money.
“If you are really addicted to (上癮) it, sometimes you can’t give your mind to your lessons,” he said. “And friends in your real life are always more important than those so-called friends you meet online.”
56.People meet face to face offline when they think they ______.
A. have known each other well B. have the same interest
C. have enough free time D. have nothing to do
57. Fox’s Shadow thinks QQ is _____.
A. the biggest messaging service in ChinaB. a good place to spend her time when bored
C. a safe place to chat with strangers D. the best place to make friends
58.From the passage, we know “… they are all just a few clicks away” means ______.
A. it is wonderful to see your friends by clicking
B. it is easy and fast to get in touch with your friends
C. it is possible to live much closer to your friends
D. it is popular to make friends online
59. Which of the following is the opinion of the Beijing boy named Simon?
A. All the people on QQ are talking about foolish things.
B. Chatting online can save a lot of time and money than making telephone calls.
C. We should always be careful about boys or men online.
D. We should think more of our friends in real life.
B
Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may think that friendship comes only too naturally, we often don’t clearly understand how to make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, we are usually friends with only a very few--- for example, the average among students is about 6 per person. In all the cases of friendly relationships, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of intimacy( 親密) between them and the reasons for their shared interests vary(變化) greatly. As we get to know people, we often think about things like age, race, economic condition, social position, and intelligence. Although these factors are not of great importance, it is more difficult to get on with people when there is a marked difference in age and background(背景).
Some friendly friendships can be kept on argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have similar ideas and beliefs, the same opinions and interests --- they often talk about “being on the same wavelength”. It generally takes time to reach this point. People who want to be friends have to learn to put up with others’ bad habits and to stand differences.
What is different from marriage about friendship is that there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relation between two people. But the supporting and understanding of each other that results from shared experiences and emotions does seem to creature a powerful bond(契約), which can get over differences in background, and break down barriers(障礙) of age, class or race.
60. According to the passage, _____.
A. friends are those who must share their interests
B. friends are closer than people who just get on with each other
C.all the people know how to make friends
D. every student has six friends
61. We can learn from the passage that ____. A. friendship can overcome all differences between two people
B. there are no special ceremonies to strengthen friendship
C. standing differences in opinion can lead to friendship
D. friendship can be strengthened by smiles and soft voices
62．When people talk about “being on the same wavelength,’ they mean that they ____.
A. watch the same TV programs B. are the same in all ways C. have the same background D. share the same way of thinking and the same interests
63．Which of the following is NOT implied(暗示) in the passage? A. Even friends may have different opinions
B. Friends never argue with each other.
C. It generally takes time for people to become close friends.
D. Someone’s habits may annoy his friends.
C
I had my first job at the age of thirteen, when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very proud to earn my own pocket money and my parents never interfered(干涉) with how I spent it, even when I was spending it foolishly. They believed that by earning money, spending it, and learning from the mistakes, I would become more mature and responsible about how to handle work, relationships with others, and money.
Like many American parents, my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they worried a great deal. When I was sixteen, for example, after I finished high school and before I entered university, I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around Europe. My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age, but my father felt that it would be a great experience for me. In the end, my father won the argument on the condition that I limited my traveling to France, my mother' s home, where I had many uncles, aunts and cousins spread out through the country who could provide shelter and help if I needed them.
Three years later, my younger brother decided to take a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean. Again my mother was very worried and not eager to see my brother leave school, but my father encouraged him and my brother had a fascinating year working his way on trains and ships to earn passage to different ports and cities, and discovering many fascinating places and people.
These kinds of experiences are probably rare for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common. Most parents start pushing their children at a young age to do small things by themselves. By the time they have finished high school, many American kids have already had part-time jobs, traveled around the US or other countries on their own, have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future career, and so on.
64. The writer’s parents allowed their kids to travel so that _______.
A. it could make the kids become braverB. the kids could earn some pocket money
C. the kids could find jobs more easilyD. it could bring good to the kids’ future
65. The writer thinks _________.
A. his brother gained valuable experiences during the travel
B. his brother earned a lot of money by working
C. his brother didn't disappoint his father
D. his brother's travel was better than his to France
66. Which of the following statements is True?
A. The author went to France in order to see his relatives.
B. The author's mother managed to stop the kids doing dangerous traveling.
C. The author' s brother gave up his university to travel in the USA and the Caribbean.
D. Many American parents encourage their kids do things independently to prepare for the future.
67. The text is mainly about the writer and his brother’s stories to __________.
A. do some part-time jobs B. become independent
C. travel for experiences D. earn pocket money
