After a few minutes of watching the bird, I went back inside to refill my coffee cup. With coffee in hand, I sat down on my bench a
16、nd noticed a feather lying on the ground between my feet. I leaned over to pick it up, thinking how nice that the pigeon had left me a gift. But as l looked up again, what I sawstunnedme. Hundreds of feathers now covered the ground. The beautiful pigeon lay dead before my eyesmost likely hit by a ca
17、r. In tears, I went back inside to get a tool to bury it. This pigeons life reflected my own. I had been hurt at work and would never be able to go back to my job again. I decided that this animal was going to be buried with dignity, and so I went to find something meaningful that I could bury along
18、 with the pigeon. After several minutes of searching, I found a ribbon on which was printed, “Who you are makes a difference.” I had been given to me by a group leader at the prison where I used to work, where I was involved in a special program that encouraged the prisoners to become more responsib
19、le for their actions and helped motivate them toward more productive lives. Upon returning to the woods with the ribbon in hand, I was shocked to find the pigeon gone. Obviously it was taken away by a cat. There I stood, tears falling from my eyes, no bird to bury, a green ribbon in my hand. But the
20、 words on the ribbon stood out to me as never before: “Who you are makes a difference.”31.The underlined word “stunned” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ _”.A. disappointed B. excited C. shocked D. interested32.Why was the writer unable to go to work?A.

My famil
23、y did not know how long he would stay in the world. I knew I had to get to the hospital to tell him how much I loved him. As I drove to the hospital, I pictured him before I got to tell him how much he meant to me. Trying to fight back the tears, I wanted to stay calm when I saw him. When I got to t
24、he hospital, I hurriedly looked for his hospital room. I found him in a semi-conscious state (半清醒状态). On my knees, I said softly, “Hello, Grandpa.”Still feeling shy, I couldnt decide whether to tell him about it. While I asked about how he was, he told me, “Ill be fine, Henry.” Although we both knew
25、 that wasnt true. Then he asked me with a smile how I was doing. Hearing what my grandpa said, I was much moved. I made the decision that I had to show my gratitude for him. As I found all the courage I had, I hold his hand tightly. I cried out, “Grandpa. I just want to let you know how much I love
26、you. I hope youalready know that yet I just want to make sure.” By this time, the tears were rolling down my face. All those years of love that I had shut and not let him know, became free. Smilingly, he said, “I know. Thank you for telling me that. All I have on this planet is my family and my love
27、 for them. If there is anything I could ask of you, I want you to be good to your family, your mother, your father, and your brother. Thats all I want of you.” From then on, I began telling people how much I loved them, cared for them, and respected them. I get in touch with, for example, my babysit
28、ter, my barber, to show my appreciation. I go down into the city once a week and serve pizza to the homeless. I wake up every morning and list everything Im thankful to in my life.35.

Grandpas illnessC篇It was at least two months before Christmas when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me that she wanted a new bicycle. As Christmas drew
31、nearer, her desire for a bicycle seemed to fade, or so we thought. We bought the latest rage, Baby Sitters Club dolls, and a doll house. Then, much to our surprise, on December 23rd, she said that she “really wanted a bike more than anything else.” It was just too late , what with all the details of
32、 preparing Christmas dinner and buying last minute gifts, to take the time to select the “right bike” for our little girl. So, here we were Christmas Eve around 9:00 p.m., with Almie and her six-year-old brother, Dylan, nestled snug in their beds. Now we could only think of the bicycle and the disap
33、pointment of our child.” What if I make a little bicycle out of clay (泥) and write a note that she could trade the clay model in for a real bike?” her dad asked. “This is an expensive item and she is such a big girl, it would be much better for her to pick it out.” So he spent the next four hours pa
34、instakingly working with clay to make a tiny bike. On Christmas morning, we were excited for Almie to open the little hear shaped package with the beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. Finally, she opened it and read the note aloud. “Does this mean that I trade in this bike that Daddy made
35、 me for a real one?” Beaming, I said, “Yes.” Almie had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I could never trade in this beautiful bicycle that Daddy made me. Id rather keep this than get a real bike.” At that moment, we would have moved heaven and earth to buy her every bicycle on the planet!39Choos
36、e the right time order of the following events.a.The girl asked for a new bike.b.The girl opened the little heart shaped package.c.The parents bought the girl a modern and popular doll.d.The father made the girl a bike with clay.e.The girl would rather keep the clay bike than get a real one .A.a, b,

D The Vieira family moved to the United States in 1981. At that time, they d
40、ecided to stop speaking Spanish at home and only communicate in English. This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country. Now the Vieira children are adults, and they sometimes travel to Spain to visit their family and friends. But they cannot communicate with them. Unfortunatel
41、y this is common. When people move to new countries, they often leave their own customs and mother language behind. This is a mistake because there are many benefits(益处） to knowing more than one language. One benefit of speaking more than one language is that you can communicate directly with more p
42、eople around the world. You do not have to depend on others to talk for you, so youre more independent. People who know only one language must use others to help them communicate. Furthermore, speaking a second language also allows people to experience other cultures and customs more effectively. Lo
43、cal expressions, vocabulary, and even jokes can have a powerful effect (影响）on a persons understanding of another culture. So, knowing more than one language increases your knowledge of other cultures. Finally, having moremulti-language speakersimproves relationships between countries. If people from
44、 different countries can communicate well, the world can become closer. Countries will then have more respect for each other and better understand each others problems. The benefits of knowing more than one language are clear. In fact, there are no disadvantages. It is very sad that many people dont try to learn another language. It is even worse when people let themselves forget their mother language and become silenced.43.What is the passage mainly about?A. The benefits of
