My earliest memory of dad is grabbing (抓住) his hand while we walked together. As I 35 older, I remembered my father and I listened to many basketball games on the radio. I always fell asleep 36 the game was over. When I woke up in the morning, the score sheet (计分表) with the 37 score on it would be lying next to me. I’ll always remember that.
On cold mornings my father would drive his bread truck by the house. I used to ride on the floor of that bread truck as he delivered (分送) the bread to the stores. The 38 and the warmth from the bread made me hungry and kept me warm. I’ll always remember that.
My father would attend all my games. One night before an important game my father told me 39 that he wouldn’t be able to watch the game because he had to deliver the bread and it was a three-hour 40 from his route. The next day as the game time drew near, I thought about my dad. I happened to look across the field and 41 saw his bread truck pulling into the stadium. He tried to make the game. I’ll always remember that.
Years later I became a teacher. I’ll never forget the voice on the phone early one morning telling me dad had just been killed in a traffic accident. I could hear my heart beat in my ears. I 42 up the phone and went back to my bedroom. After that nothing was very important to me. One day I was on the playground when a little boy walked up to me and grabbed my hand. His hand held mine the 43 way I used to hold my father’s by the last two fingers. At that moment I found my 44 in life again. You see even though my father was gone, he left something with me. He left me his smile, spirit and touch. My purpose was to use those gifts as he did. From that day I started. I’ll always remember that!

四、阅读理解 阅读下面的短文，然后根据短文内容，在每小题所给的四个选项中选出最佳选项。(本大题共8小题，每小题2分，共16分)
A
Learning about the environment is very important. There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or your friends for some advice. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.
Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by sharing a car. For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we use electricity, we put greenhouse gases into the air. By turning off the lights, the television, and the computer when they aren’t needed, you can help a lot.
Don’t buy products (产品) that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on less gasoline (汽油). They don’t pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment.
Buy recyclable (可循环再用的) products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package. The less energy we use, the better.
45. The passage is mainly about ________________.
A. some suggestions about cars B. an advertisement
C. the changes to the climate D. the ways to protect the environment
46. From the passage, we can learn that ________________.
A. turning off the electricity when it isn’t needed can do good to the environment
B. electricity won’t cause great trouble to our environment
C. cars using less energy will not put greenhouse gases into the air
D. recyclable products are marked with the ENERGY STAR label
B
We were doing the best to control the fire of the burning garage (车库). Outside, I heard the sounds of cats crying. I couldn’t stop—I would have to look for the cats after the fire was put out.
It took a long time to finally bring the big fire under control. No one inside was hurt. At that point I was free to find out where the cat noises were from. There was still a lot of smoke and heat coming from the building. I followed the meowing to the sidewalk in front of the garage. There, crying and huddled (挤作一团) together, were five frightened kittens (小猫). They must have been inside the building, as their fur was badly hurt.
I wanted to find the mother cat. It was clear that she had gone into the burning garage and carried out all her babies, one by one—unbelievable.
We finally found her. Her paws and face were blackened, and her fur was burned all over. You could even see her reddened skin under the burned fur. She could hardly move. I picked her up, and she relaxed in my arms as much as her pain would allow. I decided to save this brave little cat and her family.
The vet told me they would watch the kittens and their mother for the night, but they weren’t confident about the mother’s chances.
About a week later, I found out she was going to live. We named her Scarlet because of her reddened skin.
I was happy to see Scarlet get together with the kittens again. She touched each of them, nose to nose. She had been in danger for five times and it had paid off. All of her babies had survived.
As a fireman, I see heroic acts every day. But what Scarlet showed me that day was the kind of bravery that can only come from a mother’s love.
47. Which of the following is TRUE according to the story?
A. The writer went to look for the cats as soon as he heard them crying.
B. The firefighters put out the fire quickly and no one was hurt.
C. The writer didn’t find the cats until the smoke and heat were gone.
D. The mother cat moved all her babies out of the fire to a safe place.
48. Why did the writer decide to save the cats?
A. Because he was amazed at the mother cat’s courage.
B. Because the cats attracted many people’s attention.
C. Because he didn’t want to see any living things die.
D. Because it had taken him much time and effort to save them.
49. The writer talks about the cat’s story to show that ________________.
A. animals should be taken good care of
B. mother’s love can be great and brave
C. it is meaningful to help others
D. a cat always has nine lives
C
Long long ago, there lived two girls named Emily and Tina. Both of them had long black hair and blue eyes. One day while they were playing in the back yard (庭院), Emily heard a tinkling (叮当) sound. She jumped up. “Listen,” she told her twin. They listened. The noise came again.
This time Tina heard it. She sat up. “It came from over there,” She whispered, looking at the zinnias (鱼尾菊) far away. They came near to find it out. Then something flew out, making the same tinkling sound they had heard before. The children looked at one another. “Was it a bee?” asked Tina. “I don’t think so,” replied Emily. “Do bees make a sound like bells?” “Let’s call it the Tinkle Bee anyway,” said Tina. Emily nodded, listening with a little difficulty. What had made that noise?
The next day, Emily and Tina brought their cookies outside. Tina took her plate by the zinnias. Suddenly she caught something. “Emily!” she called. “I’ve got the Tinkle Bee!” Emily rushed over. They sat down on the grass. Tina opened her hand very carefully. There was that sound! Something was shining in Tina’s hand. They smiled. Then Emily cried, “It’s a fairy (仙女)!” Tina looked down at it in her hand. It looked like a girl. A tiny girl with wings! Tina dropped it before she noticed that a wing was torn (撕裂). The little fairy could not fly away so she took a piece of grass out of the ground and sat on it.
Emily and Tina were surprised at what they saw. The fairy turned to Emily and said, “Hello, I am Marabella.” Then she said again, “Marabella the Fairy.” Emily smiled. “I’m Emily,” she said. Tina said, “I’m Tina. Are you really a fairy?” “Oh, yes!” replied Marabella. “I’ve always been a fairy.”
50. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “tiny” in this passage?
A. Weak. B. Nice. C. Little. D. Sick.
51. How did the sound come out?
A. A bee behind the zinnias made the sound. B. It came out from the fairy’s flying.
C. It came out when the fairy shouted for help. D. The bell by the zinnias rang.
52. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. Emily and Tina found a tinkling sound when they were playing in the yard.
B. Emily and Tina were very interested in the tinkling sound.
C. How a fairy by the zinnias was saved by the twins.
D. The process of Emily and Tina’s finding a fairy.

DIY, which means Do It Yourself, is quite popular in the UK. Lots of stores and supermarkets sell DIY things. TV programs show people how to DIY.

They share DIY e 2 with their friends. More and more people are fond of DIY and have d 3 the joy of DIY. Sometimes people also DIY for saving money. At present, many people can’t a 4 a big house.

However, people often find it not easy to build a piece of furniture because they can’t understand the instructions (指令).

It is r 7 that in just one year over 230,000 people were hurt while doing DIY in the UK, including 41,000 who fell off ladders.
