This is a tale of two friends --- one is blind, the other has no arms. On their own, the two are “disabled”. But together, they are a powerful team that has changed part of their village in North China’s Hebei Province into a rich, green forest. Meet 53-year-old Jia Haixia and Jia Wenqi!

Their story began in 2000, when Haixia, who was already blind in his right eye, lost his left one after an illness. Wenqi lost his arms in an accident when he was just three. Neither

could find a job, so the two decided to team up. They rented some poor land and began to plant trees. In return, the local officials paid them a small fee. Haixia and Wenqi never imagined that they would end up creating an environmental paradise. Their forest now has over 10,000 trees, hundreds of birds and many other wild animals. In addition, it saves the village from river flooding during the rainy season. When the friends work together, they focus on their strengths not their disabilities. Their day begins at 7 a.m. when the sightless Haixia carries Wenqi across the river to get to their worksite. Since they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant, the two use branches from existing trees. Haixia climbs to the tree-top and with Wenqi’s direction, selects the perfect branch. He then digs a hole and carefully plants it. Finally Wenqi waters the area.

Though hard-working, the men don’t make much money. But as Wenqi puts it, “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter.” 

Neither Haixia nor Wenqi cares about money. Together, they already have everything they need --- a perfect pair of eyes, two strong hands, and the best friendship in the world!

46. Why did Haixia and Wenqi start working together?

A. Haixia needed someone to help him. B. They both needed a way to make money.

C. They wanted to improve the environment. D. They were required to do so by local offcials.

47. Haixia and Wenqi’s forest has helped the village by______ .

A. stopping floods in the rainy season B. increasing the number of tourists

C. making the villagers richer D. providing more farmland

48. Why do Haixia and Wenqi plant tree branches?

A. They are easy to get. B. They do not cost money.

C. They can grow very quickly. D. They are preferred by animals.

49. In paragraph 5, when Wenqi says “We stand on our own feet, so the fruits of our work taste sweeter”, he means that “______”.

A. they hope to make the forest even better B. the fruits from their trees are very sweet

C. they are proud not to depend on others D. they are able to do any difficult work

50. What can we learn from this story?

A. Never give up and you will succeed. B. We should help the disabled to work.

C. Try your best when facing difficulties. D. We can achieve more with teamwork.

（B）

Most of us probably live without vegetables, but a world without chocolate? Now that would be hard! According to chocolate makers it could happen if we don’t act soon.

There are two main causes of the chocolate shortage --- chocolate’s growing popularity and less production of cocoa, the plant from which chocolate is made. With more and more people in India and China loving chocolate, not much can be done about the first cause.

Therefore, the only thing we can do is to increase cocoa production. However, new plant diseases and little rain in Ivory Coast and Ghana, the world’s largest producers, have reduced cocoa production by 40 percent in the past 10 years. What’s worse, many cocoa farmers in Africa and other cocoa-producing countries like Indonesia and Venezuela are changing to easier-to-grow crops such as corn or rubber. This way, the farmers can make more money.

To prevent more farmers from changing, researchers at the newly opened International Cocoa Control Centre, in the UK, are trying to create new cocoa plants that are stronger and faster growing. But first they must make sure the new plants are safe to grow. This takes a long time.

First, each new plant is stored at the Control Centre for six months to make sure it is healthy. It is then planted in the Centre’s fields, studied and tested for another two years. Only after scientists are certain that they’re disease-free, will the plants be sent to farmers in West Africa or wherever else they are needed.

To create new stronger types of cocoa, scientists at the Centre are combining the best parts from different cocoa plants. Though the world is facing a serious chocolate shortage, there is now hope!

51. The first paragraph tells us that______.

A. chocolate is healthier than vegetables B. the world could soon be without chocolate

C. people love vegetables more than chocolate D. it’s not necessary to eat so much chocolate

52. In which countries has chocolate become more popular in recent years?

A. Venezuela and Indonesia. B. Ivory Coast and Ghana.

C. Indonesia and China. D. China and India.

53. Cocoa farmers are choosing to grow rubber and corn because these crops______.

A. can make them more money B. need less rain to grow

C. can be planted more times each year D. are not damaged by plant diseases

54. How long does it take scientists at the Centre to make sure a cocoa plant is safe to grow?

A. 6 months. B. 12 months. C. 24 months. D. 30 months.

55. What is one of the purposes of the Cocoa Control Centre?

A. To introduce cocoa production to more countries.

B. To provide more chocolate for British people.

C. To produce stronger types of cocoa plants.

D. To make sure that cocoa is healthy to eat.

（C）

On March 3, 1887, the lives of two amazing women were changed forever when Anne Sullivan, a poor university graduate, arrived at the home of the wealthy Keller family to teach theirsix-year-old daughter Helen. It was a difficult job as Helen was unable to see, hear or speak because of illness.

Anne had been suggested to the Kellers by her university professor, a close friend of Mr. Keller. Before she arrived, Anne expected her new pupil to be a quiet, weak child. But Helen was nothing like that. When Anne first walked through the Kellers’ door, the energetic Helen nearly knocked her over in her hurry to feel Anne’s face, clothing and bag.

Helen was used to visitors bringing her sweets, and angrily tried to force open Anne’s case to take her candy. But Anne calmed her down by allowing Helen to play with her watch. So began one of the most successful student-teacher relationships in history.

Anne Sullivan was only twenty years old when she began teaching Helen. She had to not only teach the child all the usual school subjects, but also control Helen’s sometimes wild behaviour. Her well-meaning parents allowed Helen to do as she liked at home. Realizing that such an environment was unsuitable for learning, Anne requested that she and Helen live in a small house nearby.

As soon as Helen began learning, it became clear that she was especially intelligent. She quickly learned to read and write, and by the age of ten she could also speak.

In 1900, Helen started studying at Radcliffe University, and graduated first in her class in 1904. She was the very first blind and deaf person to get a university degree. How did she do it? Anne Sullivan read all of Helen’s books and then signed the information into her hand. Anne remained at Helen’s side until her death in 1936. Helen became a world-famous writer, and fought for disabled people’s rights until her death on Jun 1, 1968.

56. How did Anne come to work at the Kellers’ home?

A. She replied to a job advertisement.

B. She was introduced by her family friend.

C. she was recommended by her university professor.

57. What surprised Anne most about Helen when they first met?

四、阅读理解 

46—50 BABCD 51—55 BDADC 56—60 CDACB 61—65 DBDCA

【解析】 

A

46. B 细节推理题。题目问的是Haixia和Wenqi开始一起工作的原因，这要原文定位到他们 

开始工作的段落--B段。 The story began这句话就提醒我们他们是一个powerful team的缘由。首先介绍他们身体的残缺，关键句：Neither could find a job, so the two decided to team up.这句话的so是关键字，表示前面不能找到工作是原因，结果是后面的他们组成了一个团队。从而从不能找到工作而组队这个细节推理出出46题的答案B they both needed a way to make money，故本题选B。 

47. A 细节理解题。这道题是比较典型的细节题，主要运用原文定位+排除法。题目问的是 

他们帮助村庄的方式，题目关键词：by 根据每段主题句（第一句）具体帮助村名的方式应该主要定位在C段。C段有2个关键点（通过in addition判断）：1.environmental paradise 2. save from flooding.逐一排除选项：B选项--文中没有提及。C选项--细节错误，他们帮助村民创建的是一个environmental paradise，专注于环境的改善，并非经济上的实际收益。D选项--信息错误，文中B段仅仅提及他们租用地块，并非提供给其他村民farmland. A选项正确，定位原文C段最后一句，他们帮助村民阻止雨季中的洪灾，故选A。 

48. B 细节题。题目问的是为什么他们种植树枝。关键字定位tree branches. 原文定位D段 

第四行，关键字since，原因状语从句，表明他们使用树枝的原因是they cannot afford to buy young trees to plant. 故选B.使用树枝的原因是不需要花钱。 

49. C 推理题。把题目提及句子定位到原文倒数第二段。他们觉得果实更加甜的原因是we

stand on our own feet,根据语境这里表示的意思是自己能够独立，与C选项符合，故选C.

50. D 主旨题。主旨题通常从首尾段看出，尤其最后段的感叹句强调了作者的情感，两个关 

键点：1.together 2. The best friendship 表明是他们的团队精神让他们能够创造出更多的成果。 

B

dolphin communication and what dolphin say. 关键是海豚之间的沟通方式，故选D.

62. B 细节题。定位到New York部分，采用排除法。A选项--错误，文中说的是曾经人们害 

怕这个城市（文中once 表“曾经”，并且用了过去式），并非A选项提及的now信息 不符。C选项--new activities与原文的interesting不符，偷换概念。D选项----与原文不符合，原文的Big Apple大写首字母应该为专有名词，并非真的apples，故不对。 B选项---与原文提及的Now tourists are visiting New York each year符合，选项中的millions of有“成千上万的，无数的”的含义，突出人数多，和原文表达意思一致。故选B.

63. D 细节题。原文定位”The Magic of Night Markets”部分。依然采用排除法，A&B选项文 

章没有提及。C选项--与原文不符合，原文标题已经突出Night，并非newly market，再次偷换原文概念，混淆答案。D选项--正确，因为原文的the real attraction是夜市的食物，所以人们预期能看到关于夜市食物的照片。 

64. C 细节题。原文定位关于photography.这个出现在三个大标题中的Photography. 根据文中 “get helpful tips and advice”判断正确答案为C。 

65. A 细节题。原文第三个大标题：Most Read This Week.表明最多人阅读的文章，第一位就 是Top Danger for Lions: Hunting. 故选A.

If you want to improve your oral English, English drama may be the first choice. It is a good chance to practice not only oral English, but also performing skills.

You will be amazed by the science world and become interested in it.

For my part, a painting course can be added, because students like drawing so much. I hope these courses would be helpful and each student would enjoy a bright and colorful school life here!
