It happened when I was in the sixth grade. One day, our teacher assigned ―secret buddies（伙伴）‖ for the coming week. The 21 of the assignment was to leave nice gifts for your buddies without letting them know who was doing it .

22 the middle of the week, it seemed that everyone had got cool gifts from their buddies, everyone 23 me. I had been wondering 24 was up with whoever was my buddy.

On the last morning of our assignment, when I walked into my classroom, something on my desk 25 my eye. As I came closer, I found there sat a can of perfumed powder. ―Oh, my God, it’s an old lady gift that I had received!‖ I thought to myself. 26 , the powder had already been opened. I felt my face turn red as I said 27 , ― What could my buddy be thinking by giving me such a stupid gift ? My grandmother 28 even want it.‖

Hearing my screams, several girls 29 around me and started talking trash about my secret buddy for giving it to me. Just then, the shyest girl in our class stood up and said, ―I’m your secret buddy. I’m sorry about the gift.‖ Then she ran out of the classroom with tears streaming _ 30 her face. My secret buddy was a girl named Rochelle, a girl from a poor family. She was usually the 31 at school for those who felt they were better just because their parents had money.

Rochelle couldn’t 37 to get to school that morning and put it on my desk. And I had 38 everything for her. k*s*5*u

第二部分：阅读理解( 第一节20小题。第二节5小题；每小题2分，满分50分)

第一节：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，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. When I arrived at 2:30 a.m, the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window. Under these circumstances, many drivers would just honk（按喇叭）once or twice, wait a minute, then drive away.

But I had seen too many poor people who depended on taxis as their only means of transportation. This passenger might be someone who needed my assistance, I reasoned to myself. So I walked to the door and knocked. After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her 80s stood before me. When we got in the taxi, she gave me an address, then asked, ―Could you drive through downtown? ‖ ―It’s not the shortest way,‖ I answered quickly. ―Oh, I don’t mind, ‖ she said. ― I’m in no hurry. I’m on my way to a hospice（晚期病人收容所）.‖ k*s*5*u

I looked in the rearview mirror. Her eyes were glistening. ―I don’t have any family left,‖ She continued. ―The doctor says I don’t have very long time.‖ I quietly reached over and shut off the meter. ―What route would you like me to take?‖ I asked. For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked as an elevator operator. We drove through the neighborhood where she and her husband had lived when they were newlyweds. She had me pull up in front of a furniture warehouse that had once been a ballroom where she’d gone dancing as a girl.

As the first hint of sun rose from the horizon, she suddenly said, ―I’m tired. Let’s go now. ‖ We

drove in silence to the hospice. When I was leaving, she insisted on paying me, but I refused. Instead, I bent down and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. ―You gave an old woman a little moment of joy,‖ she said. ―Thank you.‖ I squeezed her hand, and then walked into the dim morning light. Behind me, a door shut. It was the sound of the closing of a life.

I didn’t pick up any more passengers that shift. I drove aimlessly, lost in thought. What if that woman had gotten an angry driver or one who was impatient to end his shift? What if I had refused to take the run or had honked once and then driven away?

On a quick review, I don’t think that I have done anything more important in my life. We’re conditioned to think that our lives revolve around great moments. But great moments often catch us unaware—beautifully wrapped in what others may consider a small one.

41.The driver didn’t just honk but knocked at the door and waited because________. A. he didn’t want to miss any chance to make money B. he knew the woman was waiting for him

C. he thought maybe someone was in need of his taxi service D. taxis was the only means of transportation for the poor

42. Why did the old woman ask the driver to drive through downtown? A. She was in no hurry and had some time to kill.

B. She didn’t want to get to the hospice before daybreak. C. She wanted to see some places before her life ended. D. There were many places of interest worth her visit. 43. It can be learned from the passage that_______.

A. the driver decided not to charge the woman after they got to the hospice B. the woman was afraid to go to the hospice for her last days C. the woman once worked in a furniture warehouse

D. the driver didn’t feel it a pity though he didn’t earn much that shift 44. What does the driver want to share with us by telling the story? A. The old are always those who need our help most. B. A small kind act may mean a lot to those in need. C. Those who offer help are the happiest in the world.

D. Sometimes it’s necessary for taxi drivers to offer free service.

B As I traveled for several weeks in November, meeting with CEOs in different countries, I got to different airports. Here is what I learned as I travelled to Europe, South America and Asia before returning home to Chicago.

Lines form in London’s Heathrow Airport

I arrived at the new Terminal (航站楼)5 in London’s Heathrow Airport , which is a modern excellent building. It is filled with High Street stores and seems more like a shopping mall— like the Mall of America in Minneapolis or the Galleria in Houston—than a place to catch planes. At T5 they have perfected the art of making you stand in long, frustrating lines. After you spend twenty minutes in line getting your boarding pass scanned, you move to another long line to have your passport checked. T5 takes the art of waiting to a new level, so much so that even though I had nearly an hour to make a connecting flight（转机）, I missed my connection and spent the next three hours in an airport waiting hall. k*s*5*u

Heathrow views itself as a gateway to the world. But you’d better not be in a hurry to pass through it. T5 reflects the old days of British globalization – the 1800s– when it took at least 80
