Mrs. Thompson came to the 5th grade class and noticed that Teddy was always alone. Also, he did badly in his studies. When she reviewed Teddy’s past records，she found he was a good child at first，but he began to change when his mother got ill. Finally he lost interest in school after his mother’s death.

Mrs. Thompson realized the problem and felt sorry for him. She felt even worse when her students brought her beautifully-covered Christmas presents. His presents were covered with some old paper. Some children laughed when she found a bracelet(手镯)with some of the stones missing, and a bottle with a little perfume(香水).But she said how pretty the bracelet was, putting it on, and dabbing some perfume on her hand. Teddy stayed after school for a long time just to say，“Mrs. Thompson，today you smelled just like my mom used to.” After the child left，she cried for quite a long time.

On that very day, she taught not only knowledge but also children. As she worked with Teddy，his mind seemed to come alive. By the end of the year，Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.

A year later，Teddy left school. She found a note under her door，from Teddy，saying that she was the best teacher he ever had in his life. After that, these words were repeated in each of his letters to her.

Of course，Mrs. Thompson did. She wore the bracelet and the perfume that Teddy remembered his mother wearing on their last Christmas together.

They hugged(拥抱)each other，and Teddy whispered in Mrs. Thompson’s ear，“Thank you，Mrs. Thompson，for making me feel important，and showing me that I could make a difference.”

Mrs. Thompson，with tears in her eyes，whispered back，“Teddy，it’s not like that. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to teach until I met you.”

BEIJING—Heavy haze (霾) still covered north and east China on Saturday, with

highways closed and flights delayed or canceled (取消).

The smoggy weather affected the country’s land from north to south, including Beijing, Hebei, Shandong, Jiangsu, Shanghai, Zhejiang, Hunan, Guangxi and Guangdong, with visibility less than 50 meters in some areas.

Cities like Shanghai and Nanjing have been enveloped in the grey sky for the past several days. Many walkers in the street had to wear masks. In the Lukou airport in Nanjing, Jiangsu Province, more than 60 inbound and outbound flights were canceled on Saturday because of the hazy, which also forced primary and middle schools and kindergartens to stop classes on Thursday and Friday in Nanjing.

The Ministry of Environmental Protection said earlier this week that there were several main reasons behind the widespread haze: unfavorable weather conditions making it difficult for pollutants to diffuse (消散), motor vehicle exhaust (尾气), coal use for winter heating.

The Chinese government now plans to clean up the air by cutting coal use, closing some factories and promoting cleaner production.

Today the word friendship has been used so often that it has lost its meaning. Some jokingly or seriously say that friends are made to be used. It makes me very sad.

True friendship doesn’t mean that when you need your friend’s help，you will treat him to dinner，and when you have to protect yourself，you will put your friends in a difficult situation.

In fact，true friendship is the communication and understanding of the hearts（心）.

True friendship is like water. Compared wish decent wine，water is tasteless，but is of great help when we are thirsty. True friends don’t need to be with each other every day，but are connected in heart every minute.

True friendship is like medicine. Though it is bitter，it cures your illness. True friends give you some suggestions even if they know you would not take. They criticize you when others have a good word for you，not because of envy but worrying that you may lose your cool head.

True friendship has nothing to do with fame，power or money. True friends would often watch you silently far away when you are influential，but come to you whenever you need their help. You’re not his stepping-stone to success，but are his crutch to live through difficulties.

True friends make you complete. Many persons go along with you through your life─ your parents，your spouse，and your children，who take care of you and make your life happy. However，

you still need someone who understands your thoughts and souls. Without them，you are likely to be unhealthy in spirit.

True friends stay in your heart，rather than at your side；they know you more than yourself，and try to better you.

Once you have found such a true friend，do treasure（珍惜）him. If your true friend disappears，how can you make the sound of your heart understood？

66. The writer feels sad because some people .

A. don’t understand friendship

B. make wrong friends

C. don’t treasure friendship

D. blame their friends

67.The writer speaks of water because .

B. it is important to our life

C. it is easy to get

D. it stays with us every day

68.The underlined word “influential” in Paragraph 5 means“”.

A. busy

B. quiet

C. helpful

D. powerful

69.According to the passage，true friends may help you .

A. enjoy mental health

B. achieve success

C. understand them better

D. live a happy life

70. What can we learn from the passage?

A. True friendship has something to do with money, power and fame.

B. True friendship can be of great help to you to live through difficulties.

C. True friends always have a good word for you instead of criticizing you.

D. True friends don’t need to be connected in heart every day.

六、任务型阅读(10分)

阅读下列短文，根据短文中的信息完成文后表格。(每空一词)

People visit other countries for many purposes. Some travel on businesses; others travel to visit interesting places that are only found in other countries.

Wherever you go, and for whatever purpose, it’s important to be safe. A tourist can attract a lot of attention from local people. While most people you meet when travelling are sure to be nice, there are dangers—theft being the most common. So prepare for your trip in advance.

As you prepare for your trip, make sure you have the right paperwork. You don’t want to get to your destination （目的地）only to find you have the wrong visa, or worse, that your passport is about to expire (到期). Also, make sure you travel with proper medical insurance, so that if you are sick or injured during your travels, you can be treated. If you want to drive while you are abroad, make sure

you have an international driver’s license.

If you need to take medicine with you—such as travel-sickness pills—keep it in its original container（容器）. If you don’t, you may find yourself doing a lot of explaining to customs officials at your destination.

Buy a guidebook and read about the local customs of the country you are going to. Also, try and learn a few basic words and phrases—don’t assume that the local people will speak your language.

When you get to your destination, you’d better use official transport. Always go to the bus and taxi stands, don’t accept r ides from strangers who offer you a lift. If there is no meter in the taxi, agree on a price before you get in. If you prefer to stay in cheap hotels while travelling, make sure you can lock the door of your room from the inside. If you are travelling with valuables such as jewelry, or a lot of money, you should ask about a safe for storing them in. Finally, remember to smile. It’s the friendliest and most sincere form of communication, and is sure to be understood in any part of the

七、阅读与回答问题(10分)

I often dreamed about Pisa when I was a boy. I read about the famous building called the Leaning Tower of Pisa. But when I read the word Pisa, I was thinking of pizza .I thought this tower was a place to buy pizza .It must be the best place to buy pizza in the world, I thought.

Many years later I finally saw the Leaning Tower. I knew then that it was Pisa and no pizza. But there was still something special about it for me .The tower got its name because it really did lean to one side. Some people want to try to fix it. They are afraid it may fall over and they don’t like it leans over the city.

I do not think it’s a good idea to try to fix it. The tower probably will n ot fall down. It is 600 years old. Why should anything happen to it now? And, if you ask me, I like what it looks like. To me it is a very human kind of leaning. Nothing is perfect. It seems to say.

And who cares? Why do people want things to be perfect? Imperfect things may be more interesting. Let’s take the tower in Pisa. Why is it so famous? There are many other older, more beautiful towers in Italy. But Pisa tower is the most famous. People come from all over the world to see it.

Have you ever heard of Dididache? Dididache (嘀嘀打车), a taxi-hailing smartphone app（应用程序）which is believed to be created by Tencent, has recently appeared in Xiamen, and more than 700 taxi d 101 in the city have used the app.

The app shows the real-time locations of taxis on a map using the GPS technology and makes it p 102 for users to hail (招呼) a taxi on their smartphones. The u sers’ request will be sent to the nearest taxi drivers who will decide w 103 to accept the order or not.

Taxi-hailing apps are very p 104 in Beijing, Shanghai, Hangzhou and Nanjing, having gained tens of thousands of u 105 . However, the city’s taxi-control departments doubt its helpfulness and have said it may not be s 106 for Xiamen.

The app has been criticized (指责) for disturbing market order, and creating difficulty for passengers who do not use the app to hire a cab（出租汽车）. Many users c 107 that they are only useful when most taxis are idle (空驶), and hiring a taxi can still be challenging during bad w 108 and rush hours. Can this app be in u 109 for long? Technology might make a great d 110 to our life. Let’s wait and see.
