Part Ⅱ Reading Comprehension
Directions: This part is to test your reading ability. There are two sections in it.
Section 1
Directions: There are 4 passages in this section. After each passage there are 5 questions. Each question is followed by four choices marked A, B, C and D. You should choose the best answers to the questions and mark the corresponding letters on the Answer Sheet with a single line through the center.
It's easy to see how to help some people, but what about those whose needs are not so clear? This story happened not long ago, but it is a lesson that has stayed with me and helped me ever since.
It was Thanksgiving and I was volunteering with my parents at a shelter for the poor. We served hot food to whoever came in. Most of these people looked as if they had been having hard times; their clothes were worn out and dirty. Then, a man came in, who looked anything but poor. He was well dressed. I wondered what he was doing there and my jaw(下巴) dropped in amazement when he joined the queue for food. What was this man doing? Surely he wasn't going to take food which was meant for those who were really in need!
Then my mother quietly took me to one side. She said, "You have thought that the needs of the people who come here must be purely physical. But what if his needs are emotional? What if he needs comfort, friends, or just to be among other people?" Her words hit me like a ton of bricks! I felt like I should apologize to the man—but I didn't.
About a week later the shelter received a large donation from an anonymous donor. I couldn't help but wonder if it came from that man.
Now, whenever I meet someone, I will remember my mother's lesson and try to send kindness to him according to his needs, no matter how he looks. Needs aren't always seen. But kindness always makes a difference.

Red Dog was special.
He was not one of those dogs who ran shouting into the wind in groups. He just loved walking with me. Sometimes, on the narrow road, he walked so close that his bright red fur brushed against my leg.
"Red Dog," I'd say, "each morning when we meet for the first time, why do you always look so glad?"
Of course, Red Dog never made reply with words. If he wanted to say something, he spoke with his eyes, or the bend in his tail. However, since we were friends, that was enough.
At night, Red Dog slept on the front porch, lying there and dreaming dreams of long summer days and endless walks. His night-world filled up with the moon and stars, hoot-owl hoots, and ghostly white fogs that crept silently into the fields.
Between dreams, I think that Red Dog must have awakened, raised his head, and looked around. Maybe then he became a little lonely. And probably he wondered why I got to sleep inside, but he had to sleep on the porch.
But, you see, Red Dog lived in a time when dogs such as he were not allowed to go inside their masters' homes. In those days, most people didn't even believe that dogs had feelings, though I did.
Yes, during those days when we walked in the fields and woods, Red Dog and I helped one another see things in special ways. Weedy roadsides were like museums and the fields of corn and beans around us were like circuses with many rings.
31、 Why was Red Dog special? ______
A. Because he loved walking with the author.
B. Because he could swim.
C. Because he loved playing with other dogs.
D. Because he could play with kids.
32、 What would Red Dog do to express himself? ______
A. Raise his head.
B. Use his eyes or tail.
C. Lie down outside.
D. Speak a human language.
33、 How might Red Dog feel when he awakened at night? ______
A. Curious and excited. B. Terrified and lonely.
C. Happy and excited. D. Lonely and puzzled.
34、 How did most people think about dogs in the story? ______
A. Dogs could speak with words.
B. Dogs didn't have feelings.
C. Dogs could enter masters' houses.
D. Dogs were people's friends.
35、 What is the passage mainly about? ______
A. Bedrooms and yards. B. Fields and woods.
C. Red Dog and his master. D. Museums and circuses.
For the past 28 years, barber Liu Jianjun and his team have been volunteering in Changchun. He and his team, which has 3,700 volunteers, have given free haircuts to around 80,000 people. They also volunteer to help those in need, such as seniors who live alone, and send them daily necessities during festivals.
The 53-year-old has been helping others since he opened his barber shop in 1994. "I lost my mother when I was 6, and my father left home soon after," he said. "I was raised by my grandmother and was looked after by my neighbors." So when he opened his barber shop, he decided to repay some of the kindness he had been shown.
Every day he arrives at his shop an hour before opening to give free haircuts to people over 70. He also spends his spare time providing door-to-door service for those who have difficulty walking.
His team members visit seniors to help them buy daily needs, move heavy objects and make repairs. They also offer free haircuts to deliverymen and sanitation workers. "Fortunately, I got a lot of support from my team, friends and relatives," he said. "The team is like a big family and its members care for and help each other. I really want to thank all of them."
The youngest member of his team is 7. "Several students have joined, and they volunteer with their parents," he said. "When we visit nursing homes, they sing and dance, bringing the elderly a lot of pleasure."
In 2014, Liu joined the Communist Party of China on the recommendation of his community. "Being a Party member is not only about status, but also about a heavy responsibility and a lifelong commitment," he said. "I am determined to progress further along the road of voluntary service."
36、 What does the underlined word "volunteering" most probably mean? ______
A. Living alone. B. Building new houses.

The Sun is undoubtedly the powerhouse of the solar system. The energy released from the Sun is equivalent to about 36 octillion(10的48次方) lumens, where a lumen is a measure of the total amount of visible light. All the energy radiates out from the center of our solar system in the form of light, heat, gamma rays and X-rays, and magnetic fields. But in fact, the Sun's energy is generated in its core and moves outward to its surface where it is released as electromagnetic radiation. The heat, light and radiation that come from the Sun are all examples of electromagnetic radiation.
It takes about 8 minutes for the electromagnetic radiation from the Sun to travel 93 million miles to the Earth. When it arrives, some of that solar energy is blocked or absorbed by the atmosphere, but what isn't blocked is absorbed or reflected by the air, land, water, plants and other matter that covers the surface of our planet. When the molecules in matter gain energy, they move more, vibrating in place or even bouncing off one another.
Unlike electromagnetic radiation, heat must be transferred or conducted through matter. Some types of matter, like water, are really good at holding onto this energy. Clouds of water particles and gases in the atmosphere absorb some of this heat too. This absorption of heat helps the Earth stay warm. It's one reason our planet stays at a livable temperature and doesn't change radically from freezing cold to blazing hot every day.
Energy from the Sun makes it possible for life to exist on the Earth. It is responsible for photosynthesis in plants, vision in animals, and many other natural processes, such as the movements of air and water that creates weather. Most plants need at least some sunlight to grow, so without light, there would be no plants, and without plants, there would not be oxygen for us to breathe. Infrared radiation from the Sun is responsible for heating the Earth's atmosphere and surface. Without energy from the Sun, the Earth would freeze. There would be no winds, ocean currents or clouds to transport water.
What's more, every day the Sun shines on the Earth, driving many chemical and physical changes across the planet. Light, which travels fastest in the world, helps people on the Earth clearly see the world.
41、 How far is the Sun from the Earth? ______
A. 8 miles. B. 11 million miles.
C. 13 miles. D. 93 million miles.
42、 Light travels from the Sun to the Earth in the form of ______.
A. waves B. brain waves
C. sound waves D. electromagnetic radiation
43、 Which of the following travels fastest? ______
A. Car. B. Light.
C. Plane. D. Wind.
44、 What are lumens used to describe? ______
A. Brightness. B. Darkness.
C. Liquid. D. Speed.
45、 What role does light play in life according to the passage? ______
A. To make people have a better life.
B. To help people conduct experiments.
C. To help improve the environment.
D. To help people see the world.
Section 2
Directions: There is 1 passage in this section. Read the passage and complete the outline below it(No. 46 to No. 50). You should write your answers briefly (in no more than three words) on the Answer Sheet correspondingly.
If you have something valuable in mind, a service to offer, or an idea to develop, then you should tell it to other people to widen its scope. Why not make full use of it?
The fact is that, when you have enough vision, you may have the courage. And then you simply have to pursue it, however crazy it might seem to others.
Remember that everything starts from small things: Rome was not built in a day. Scientists say that everything in the universe comes from a smaller unit than you can possibly assume. So it doesn't matter where you are at present, because small beginnings become great things at last.
Think big by enlisting(争取) others: To think big, you need to see yourself as a small part of a greater whole. Enlist people who are better than you. If you're not the most organized person, don't just be unhappy about it. You should find someone who is better.
Big thinkers know their personal limitations. Gather people who can do what you can't do around you to make sure your dream will come true.
Think big by focusing on future regrets: There is an old saying, "We regret not the things we did do, but the things we didn't do." You'll never know how far it could go unless you see how far you can take something.
If you have big plans, just close your eyes. And strongly imagine how regretful you will be if you don't try or attempt properly.
Feel that it is your human duty to think big: When something is probably of real service to mankind, then it is a human duty to think and act big. Even if you don't succeed at last, it is still valuable to think big.
If you have 46 in mind, you should make full use of it.
How to train yourself to think big:
Remember that every big thing starts from a (n) 47 one.
It is not important where you are 48 .
See yourself as a small part of a greater whole.
You should 49 better people around you to make sure of the realization of your dream.
If you don't try, you will never know how far your idea could go.
Imagine how much regret you will have if you give up your big plans.
It is your 50 to think big and it is worth trying.
