The bus was cheerless and silent. ‎ One of the passengers was a small grey man who took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him. One July morning he said good morning to the driver and smiled. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent. ‎ The next day, the old man boarded with a big smile and said in a loud voice, “A very good morning to you all!” Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured “ good morning” in reply. ‎ The following weeks, our friend was dressed in a nice old suit and tie. The thin hair had been carefully combed. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other. ‎ One morning he even had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked, “Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?” We never got to know if his name really was “Charlie”, but he nodded shyly and said yes. The other passengers whistled and clapped at him. Charlie waved the flowers before he sat down on his seat. ‎ Every morning after that Charlie always brought flowers. Some passengers also brought flowers for him. The bus became a happy place. ‎ Then, one morning, as autumn was closing in, Charlie wasn’t waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn’t there the next day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or hopefully---on holiday somewhere. When we came nearer to the center for senior citizens, one of the passengers even asked the driver to wait. ‎ We all held our breaths when he went to the door. The old gentleman was fine, ‎ but one of his close friends had died over the weekend.

But in 1998, Kerdgan and a team of Harvard researchers were the first to link high heels and knee osteoarthritis, a painful joint disease that destroys cartilage (软骨) surrounding the knee. The first study looked only at stiletto heels, and Kerrigan said she wanted to study the chunky high-heeled shoes she noticed many women wearing. “This study confirms what we all intuitively (直觉地) know that high-heeled shoes of any kind are not good for our health,” said Dr. Glenn Pfeifer, a San Francisco doctor and member of the American Academy‎ of ‎Orthopedic Surgeons who was not connected to the study.‎ ‎5. We learn from the passage that women choose chunky heels because _______.‎ A. they want to walk comfortably ‎ B. chunky heeled shoes are cheaper than stiletto heeled pairs C. chunky heels do less harm to knees ‎ D. chunky heels are not painful at all ‎6. It can be inferred from the passage that ________.‎ A. people got to know the high heels are bad for health recently B. people have known the high heels are bad for health for years C. people haven’t known the high heels are bad for health yet D. people will be warned that the high heels are bad for health soon ‎7. The best title for the passage may be ________.‎ A. Taking Healthy Knees into Consideration B. High-heels Do Harm to Knees C. Chunky Heels and Stiletto Heels D. When Wearing High-heels ‎5—7、‎ C ‎ Is early childhood education really necessary? Early childhood education primarily focuses on learning through playing to develop the child’s physical, sensory, communicational and social development．Early childhood education has become a concern of the government, who pushes poor children to be formally trained before they are old enough for kindergarten．‎ There are good reasons for the government to push early childhood education．Studies have shown that orphaned children who did not receive good care and education become developmentally delayed causing failure in school, and even in life．Further studies show that poor children who take part in Head Start programs are more prepared for school, less likely to end up in Special Education classes, and are less likely to receive public help or go to prison．‎ There are also negative parts to putting a child in formal education programs too early．Time Magazine online explains that “the younger the child the less his chances of catching up with first-grade work．” I have personally witnessed many children of my generation who went to Head Start programs become frustrated and bored with school before they finished high school．Yet parents have been sure that the earlier the child starts school, the better off he or she is, so they push to start children earlier．‎ Actually while early formal education of poor children does show great gains in the early elementary years, studies also show that this head start is really a ‎ “false start”, as the gains are lost in middle and high school years．It seems that environment is a bigger factor on life’s success than early education．Head Start programs have not achieved its original goal in closing the achievement gap in poor and middle school children．Perhaps it is time to find other ways to close that gap．‎ ‎11. The purpose of the government valuing the early childhood education is ________．‎ A．to develop the children’s communication B．to give orphaned children good care and education C．to get the children prepared for the kindergarten D．to train the children formally and regularly ‎12. According to the studies, which of the following is True?‎ A．Children with good early education may have a rich life．‎ B．The orphaned children are usually unhappy in their life．‎ C．Children without early education can do well at school．‎ D．Head Start programs are helpful to the poor children．‎ ‎13. The underlined part suggests that _________．‎ A．the early childhood education is helpless to the child’s grade B．it is good for the young children to receive early education C．the early education can help the children follow the grade D．the younger the children are, the cleverer they will be ‎ ‎14. The author’s attitude toward the early childhood education is _________．‎ A．puzzling B．negative C．indifferent D．approving ‎15. The main idea of the last passage is that __________．‎ A．the early childhood education is very necessary B．Head Start programs have helped the children a lot C．environment is the most important to life’s success D．better ways should be found to help the poor children ‎【参考答案】11—15、CDABD D Do you want to live with a strong sense of peacefulness, happiness, goodness, and self-respect? The collection of happiness actions broadly categorized(把…归类) as "honor" help you create this life of good feelings.‎ ‎ Here's an example to show how honorable actions create happiness.‎ ‎ Say a store clerk fails to charge us for an item. If we keep silent, and profit from the clerk's mistake, we would drive home with a sense of sneaky(卑鄙的) excitement. Later we might tell our family or friends about our good fortune. On the other hand, if we tell the clerk about the uncharged item, the clerk would be grateful and thank us for our honesty. We would leave the store with a quiet sense of honor that we might never share with another soul.‎ ‎ Then, what is it to do with our sense of happiness?‎ ‎ In the first case, where we don't tell the clerk, a couple of things would happen. Deep down inside we would know ourselves as a type of thief. In the process, we would lose some peace of mind and self-respect. We would also demonstrate(演示) that we cannot be trusted, since we advertise our dishonor by telling our family and friends. We damage our own reputations by telling others. In contrast, bringing the error to the clerk's attention causes different things to happen. Immediately the clerk knows us to be honorable. Upon leaving the store, we feel honorable and our self-respect is increased. Whenever we take honorable action we gain the deep internal rewards of goodness and a sense of nobility(高尚).‎ ‎ There is a beautiful positive cycle that is created by living a life of honorable actions. Honorable thoughts lead to honorable actions. Honorable actions lead us to a happier existence. And it's easy to think and act honorably again when we're happy. While the positive cycle can be difficult to start, once it's started, it's easy to continue. Keeping on doing good deeds brings us peace of mind, which is important for our happiness.‎ ‎16 According to the passage, the positive action in the example contributes to ‎ our_______. ‎ A. self-respect B. financial rewards C. advertising ability D. friendly relationship ‎17. The author thinks that keeping silent about the uncharged item is equal to_______.‎ A. lying B. stealing C. cheating D. advertising ‎18. The underlined phrase "bringing the error to the clerk's attention" means_______.‎ A. telling the truth to the clerk B. offering advice to the clerk C. asking the clerk to be more attentive D. reminding the clerk of the charged item ‎19. How will we feel if we let the clerk know her mistake?‎ A. We'll be very excited. B. We'll feel unfortunate.‎ C. We'll have a sense of honor. D. We'll feel sorry for the clerk.‎ ‎20. Which of the following can be the best title of this passage?‎ A. How to Live Truthfully B. Importance of Peacefulness C. Ways‎ of Gaining Self-respect D. Happiness through Honorable Actions ‎【参考答案】16—20、ABACD 第三部分：阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。‎ A ‎ On today’s show, we’ll focus on how e – business can help change people’s lives, as well as the career outlook of college graduates. ‎ After that, we’ll attend an interesting introductory session that was held earlier here in Beijing.
