　A Uber driver stopped her work day so she could help a new mother with a sick child. Nicole Ihus" son John Henry was born last month with a rare disease called congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Nicole and her husband, who live in Kansas City, got in touch with doctors from Minnesota and Missouri in hopes of finding a doctor who could treat John Henry for the condition—but to no avail.

　Luckily, Nicole managed to get in contact with the “best doctor in the world for this condition” at Johns Hopkins All Children"s Hospital in St. Petersburg, Florida—so she travelled all the way to the Sunshine State to give her newborn son a fighting chance. After John Henry was born into the hands of the NICU, Nicole felt sad and alone in the new state, although she knew that she had to leave her son"s side in order to buy him some new clothes. After ordering a Uber ride to the nearby Rhea Lana children"s clothing store, she was picked up by a woman named Belinda. Shortly after Nicole got into Belinda"s car, the new mother couldn"t help but tell her heartbreaking story. “She told me her story,” Belinda said in the interview below. “She was in tears a couple of times and I was really concerned about her.” Rather than simply dropping Nicole off at the store, however, Belinda parked the car and was firmly determined to accompany her passenger into the store. “She was like, ‘I"m going to help you buy some clothes for your son.’ I asked her, ‘Are you serious?’ I can"t even imagine,” said Nicole. “For this stranger to go completely out of her way—stop what she was doing and stop making money—to come to be with me for a couple of hours while we shopped together, that was just unbelievable.” (

　A friend of mine whose name was Martin Brown had a bad memory, which made him really famous. He was so forgetful that he sometimes forgot what he was talking about in the middle of a sentence. His wife had to always remind him about his appointments, his classes or even his meals! Since Martin was a professor at a well-known university, his forgetfulness often caused him a lot of trouble. It wasn"t that he was unintelligent, as some critical people tended to say, he was just very, very absent-minded.

　One hot summer day, Professor Brown decided to take his children to the beach. The seaside town he planned to visit was about a three-hour train ride away. To make the trip more interesting for his young children, he decided to keep the name of the town secret. Unfortunately, by the time Martin arrived at the train station, the poor forgetful man had forgotten the name of the town. Luckily, a friend of his happened to be in the station. He offered to take care of the children while Martin went back home to find out where he was going. The professor"s wife was surprised to see him back again so soon, but she laughed when she heard what was the matter. She distrusted his memory, so she wrote the name of the town on a piece of paper. Satisfied that she had solved the problem, she sent her husband off again. Ten minutes later, she was astonished to see him outside the house again.

　Paragraph 1:

　“What"s the matter now?” asked his wife. ___________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Hearing the cry, out rushed the neighbours, trying to find out what had happened. ________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

　参考答案

　Ⅰ.1. aiming

　2. on

　3. effective 4. are spoken 5.to treat 6. to Ⅱ.【文章大意】

　本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了“我”在等公交车的时候,为一个无家可归的人买了一杯咖啡,一位公交车司机看到“我”的举动,免掉了“我”的公交车车费的故事。

　1.that/which

　考查定语从句的连接词。本句为定语从句修饰先行词 sign,且先行词在从句中作主语,指物,故填关系代词 that 或 which。

　2.thinking

　考查非谓语动词。本句已经存在谓语动词 ran,且句中没有连词,故 think只能作非谓语,其与逻辑主语 I 之间构成主谓关系,故用现在分词,故填 thinking。

　3.bought

　考查动词的时态。根据下文并列谓语 approached 可知,此处应用一般过去时,故填 bought。

　4.simply

　考查副词。said 为动词,需要副词修饰,故填 simply。

　5.biggest

　考查形容词最高级。根据下文 in his life 可知,范围为他的一生,且前文有定冠词 the,故此处应用形容词最高级,故填 biggest。

　6.kindness

　考查名词。根据上文 of 可知此处需填名词,故填 kindness。

　7.to pay

　考查非谓语动词。want to do sth 意为“想要做某事”,故填 to pay。

　8.that

　考查宾语从句连接词。当两个或多个宾语从句由并列连词连接时,除第一个从句中的 that 可以省略外,其他从句中的 that 不能省略,这里“…it had touched his heart

　to see me giving away that cup of coffee…”为一个宾语从句,that 已经省略,第二个宾语从句“…the fare was on him.”则必须要加引导词 that。故填 that。

　9.amazing

　考查形容词。moment 为名词,指“时刻”,故需用-ing 结尾的形容词修饰,故填 amazing。

　10.a 考查冠词。start 为可数名词,此处泛指“一个新的开始”,应用不定冠词,故填 a。

　Ⅲ.【文章大意】

　一位儿子生下来就患有重病的母亲要去给孩子买衣服,在路上忍不住和优步司机谈起儿子的病情,并数度落泪。优步司机出于关心,主动提出陪这位母亲去给孩子买衣服,这让这位母亲非常感动。

　1.D

　词义猜测题。根据第二段最后一句话可知,Nicole 和她的丈夫联系明尼苏达州和密苏里州的医生,希望找到能治孩子的病的医生,根据 but 表达的转折,可以判断出他们没有找到想要的医生,因此选 D。

　2.B

　细节理解题。根据倒数第二段 “…Belinda parked the car and was firmly determined to accompany her passenger into the store.”以及最后一段的“‘…“I"m going to help you buy some clothes for your son.”…’”可知,优步司机决定陪 Nicole 一起去给她的儿子买衣服。因此选 B。

　3.C

　写作意图题。文章介绍了一位优步司机停下自己的工作,陪一个儿子正在生病的母亲给孩子买衣服,因此作者的目的是称赞优步司机的善行,故选 C。

　Ⅳ.第一节 One possible version: Dear Sir or Madam,

　I am Li Hua, a 17-year-old teenager studying in London. Learning that a volunteer is needed for an exhibition of Chinese traditional paintings, I am writing to apply for it. I have some advantages for the job. First of all, having lived in China for years and learnt English since I was a child, I have a good command of both English and Chinese, which is beneficial when introducing Chinese paintings to foreign friends. Besides, because of my familiarity with Chinese painting culture, I can get foreigners and the locals to know more about it. Last but not least, through my efforts, I believe, I can strengthen the friendship between China and the UK.

　I would appreciate it if this wonderful chance would be offered to me.

　I"m looking forward to your early reply.

　Yours, Li Hua
