Dear David,

                                                               Yours,

                                                               Li Hua

When I was in seventh grade, I was a candy striper (护士助手) at a local hospital in my town. I volunteered about 30 to 40 hours a week during the summer.

    Most of the time I spent there was with Mr. Gillespie. He never has any visitors, and nobody seemed to care about his condition. I spent many days there holding his hand and talking to him, helping with anything that needed to be done. He became a close friend of mine, even though he responded with only an occasional squeeze (紧握) of my hand. Mr. Gillespie was in a coma (昏迷).

    I left for a week for a vacation with my parents, and when I came back, Mr. Gillespie was gone. I didn’t have the courage to ask any of the nurses where he was, for fear they might tell me he had died. So with many questions unanswered, I continued to volunteer there through my eighth-grade year.

    Several years later, when I was a junior in high school, I was at the gas station when I noticed a familiar face. When I realized who it was, my eyes filled with tears. He was alive! I got up the nerve to ask him if he was Mr. Gillespie, and if he had been in a coma about five years ago. With an uncertain look on his face, he replied yes. I explained how I knew him, and that I had spent many hours talking to him in the hospital. His eyes welled up with tears, and he gave me the warmest hug I had ever received.

    He began to tell me how, as he lay there comatose (昏睡的), he could hear me talking to him and could feel me holding his hand the whole time. He thought it was an angel, who was there with him. Mr. Gillespie firmly believed that it was my voice and touch that had kept him alive. Then he told me about his life. We exchanged a hug, said our good-byes and went our separate ways.

    Although I haven’t seen him since, he fills my heart with joy every day. I know that I made a difference between his life and his death. As importantly, he has made a great difference in my life. I will never forget him and what he did for me: He made me an angel.

GIANYAR，Bali—The resort island of Bali is known for a lot of things—beaches, artists, flowing rice paddies—but not guitars. Slowly but surely, Wayan Tuges is changing that.

A wood sculptor who works from a small workshop in one of the artisan-filled villages of central Bali, Mr. Tuges has produced hundreds of custom-made guitars over the past several years which have become collector’s items across the world. Their success—some sell for as much as $8,800—has also shown how the entrepreneurs(企业家）even in remote comers of the world can connect to the global economy online—especially with a little luck.

Mr. Tuges’s achievement is to have added that stringed instruments (弦乐器)to part of the rich, traditional Balinese musical scene. Mr. Tuges didn’t even know how to play the guitar, much, less make one.

But that began to change a few years ago, when Mr. Tuges was visited out of the blue by a Montreal businessman and musician named Danny Fonfeder, who was looking for a craftsman that he hoped could make ornate guitars in Bali during a business trip in Asia. He brought a cheap guitar for Mr. Tuges to copy.

“I managed to make something that looked like a guitar, but it didn't make any sound,” said the 60-year old Mr. Tuges, who learned the art of sculpturing from his father at a young age.

Spellbound by the carvings on the guitar, Mr. Fonfeder quickly saw an opportunity to sell the guitars overseas. To fine-tune Mr. Tuges's work, he brought an American luthier—someone who makes stringed instruments — named George Morris to Bali to teach his soon-to-be business partner in the fine art of making a great guitar.

“I’m forever in debt to Danny and George.”Mr. Tuges said in a recent interview at his workshop.

It didn't take long for the men to get their alliance off the ground: Mr. Tuges not only mastered the craftsmanship but also started to teach his relatives, including his son, to make guitars with their hands—a method they still employ today, even though computerized precision tools are available. The only digital instruments they use are tuners.

27. Who's Wayan Tuges?

A. An investor in Bali.

B. An entrepreneur from Canada.

C. A wood carver in Bali.      

D. A salesman of guitars.

28. The underlined phrase "out of the blue" means

A. unexpected  

B. in the open air 

C. scheduled

D. in the field

29. Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?

A. Wayan Tuges was ready to meet Danny Fonfeder at the very beginning

B. Wayan Tuges succeeded in making his first guitar.

C. At age 60, Wayan Tuges started learning sculpturing from his father.

D. George Morris came to Bali to guide Wayan Tuges.

30. What's the best title of the passage?

A. A Brief Introduction to Bali, a Resort Island.

B. Master Carver Adds Guitars to Bali’s Rich Culture.

C. What Wayan Tuges Has Achieved at 60.

D. Wayan Tuges Taught His Relatives to Make Guitars.

Three Boys and a Dad  

     Brad closed the door slowly as Sue left home to visit her mother. Expecting a whole day to relax, he was thinking whether to read the newspaper or watch his favourite TV talk show on his first day off in months. “This will be like a walk in the park,” he’d told his wife. “I’ll look after the kids, and you can go visit your mom.”

     Things started well, but just after eight o’clock, his three little “good kids”—Mike, Randy, and Alex—came down the stairs in their night clothes and shouted “breakfast, daddy.” When food had not appeared within thirty seconds, Randy began using his spoon on Alex’s head as if it were a drum. Alex started to shout loudly in time to the beat（节拍). Mike chanted “Where’s my toast, where’s my toast” in the background. Brad realized his newspaper would have to wait for a few seconds.

     Life became worse after breakfast. Mike wore Randy’s underwear on his head. Randy locked himself in the bathroom, while Alex shouted again because he was going to wet his pants. Nobody could find clean socks, although they were before their very eyes. Someone named “Not Me” had spilled a whole glass of orange juice into the basket of clean clothes. Brad knew the talk show had already started.

     By ten o’clock, things were out of control. Alex was wondering why the fish in the jar refused his bread and butter. Mike was trying to show off his talent by decorating the kitchen wall with his colour pencils. Randy, thankfully, appeared to be reading quietly in the family room，but closer examination showed that he was eating apple jam straight from the bottle with his hands. Brad realised that the talk show was over and reading would be impossible.

     At exactly 11:17, Brad called the daycare centre (日托所）.“I suddenly have to go into work and my wife’s away. Can I bring the boys over in a few minutes?” The answer was obviously “yes” because Brad was smiling.

28. When his wife left home. Brad expected to _________.

   Scientists in Mexico have just begun a new study of one of the world’s biggest pyramids(金字塔): the Pyramid of the Sun, north of Mexico City. They’re putting lots of small, high-tech machines under the pyramid to try to unlock some of its secrets. For thousands of years, people have tried to uncover the secrets of the pyramids.

   The people who built the pyramids made lots of secret doors and rooms to stop robbers from finding the treasures inside. However, there always have been some smart thieves in history. Now, almost all of Egypt’s pyramids have been robbed, including the Great Pyramid of Khufu, which is the largest pyramid in the world. It is the only one of the ancient wonders of the world that is still standing.

   In AD 820, an Arab king named Abdullah AL Manum got a group of workers to dig their way into the Great Pyramid and have a look. Inside the pyramid, they found three rooms --- the Queen’s Chamber, the Grand Gallery and the King’s Chamber. But to their surprise, the men didn’t find the treasures they wanted. The Queen’s and King’s Chambers were both empty! Where were the King’s mummy and his treasures? Had someone already taken them away? The huge stone doors at the pyramid’s entrance were still closed when AL Manum’s men went inside. How had the thieves got in and out?

   Since then, many people have gone inside the Great Pyramid to have a look or to try to take things. But still, no other chambers or walkways have been found.

   In 2002, an American team made the most recent visit to the Great Pyramid. Scientists sent a robot into the pyramid, but they only found a mysterious locked stone door.

28．The first two paragraphs were written to show that ________.

A．the Pyramid of the Sun is an unusual historic building

B．ancient Egyptian emperors were cruel

C．construction workers led a hard life in ancient Egypt

D．the secrets of the pyramids remain to be uncovered

A．It is the largest pyramid in the world.

B．It is the only one of the ancient wonders that is still standing.

C．Abdullah AL Manum took the King’s mummy and his treasures away.

D．Scientists found a mysterious locked stone door to the Great Pyramid.

30. What is the purpose of making some secret doors to the pyramids? _______.

A. To try to unlock some of its secrets 

B. To stop robbers from finding the treasures inside

C. To refuse some visitors all over the world into it 

D. To tell the truth to the people in the future

31. What would be the best title for the text?

A．The Pyramid of the Sun

B．The Great Pyramid of Khufu

C．A Mysterious Locked Stone Door

D．Unlocking the Doors of History

Should classrooms have video cameras?

Many schools are equipped with video cameras nowadays  36   For the students who are studying there, it is just like they are being spied on. Plus for all the students they won’t be learning anything from the teacher because they will just be looking at the camera for the whole class．

Someone thinks it is good. Schools need to protect children  37  I think cameras in school are the best way to go. It is also proof of who did what and how it happened. It would help the world if everyone got safe cameras.

 38  Then a video record is worth a million! Being able to show parents how their child behaves in a classroom would be a “wake up” call for both redemptive and proactive action. A video record would be decisive proof as to what actually happened in a classroom and would save time money and heartache. It would also, to put it frankly, “blow the public's mind” and hopefully begin a meaningful dialogue.

But others think cameras should not be allowed in classrooms. In classroom cameras would distract the kids.  39  I think that no one should be able to be on camera unless there is permission from the teachers, students and parents.

Cameras in every classroom would also be a waste of thousands of dollars! Why not just spend it on new things of teachers or anything else that is not as useless as a camera?  40

Yes, a camera would give some help, but it's not likely it could catch a thief while he is harming the school. We might see who he is, but we would not be able to get him while he is stealing.

A．A picture is worth a thousand words

B．They would also invade privacy.

C．It will cost too much for its little benefits

D．Cameras take pictures of everything clearly

E．Cameras catch everything from different angles

F．Cameras are just an extra pair of eyes

G．Let’s save money for something more useful

 He listened to them talking carefully, and threw in a word or two _____.

  C. here and there                     D. sooner or later

For lots of people in Britain, the 31st of December, or New Year’s Eve as we call it, is the biggest party of the year. It’s a time to get together with friends or family and welcome in the coming year. New Year’s Eve parties can take place at a number of different places. Some people hold a house party; others attend street parties, while some just go to their local for a few drinks with their mates. Big cities, like London, have large and wonderful fireworks shows.

There’s one thing that all New Year’s Eve parties have in common: the countdown(倒计时) to midnight. When the clock strikes(敲)twelve, people give a loud cheer, and give each other a kiss. They then link arms and sing a song called Auld Lang Syne, by a Scottish poet called Robert Burns. Not many people can remember all the words of the song, but the tune(旋律) is well known, so lots of people just hum along. The parties then continue into the early hours of the morning with lots of dancing and drinking. Other people might spend the day visiting relatives or friends they haven’t managed to catch up with for a while. Whatever happens, New Year’s Day tends to be very relaxed.

In Britain, it’s popular to make a promise to yourself about something you are going to do, or want to stop doing, in the New Year. This is called a New Year’s resolution. Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and joining a gym to get fit. However, the promise is often broken quite quickly and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days.

New Year’s Day is the last bank holiday of the festive season, which means most people have to go to work the next day: bright and fresh and ready for the new year ahead!

28. New Year’s Eve parties in Britain ________.

A. end at midnight                                                B. can only be held indoors

C. only take place in big cities                         D. include countdown to midnight

29. The underlined word “hum” in Paragraph 2 probably means________.

A. dancing to the music                                     B. singing with your mouth closed

C. learning to sing                                    D. keeping silent

30. What does the author think of the New Year’s resolution?

A. It can help people keep fit.                       B. It’s a promise to your family.

C. It’s often hard to keep.                               D. It’s a joke played on New Year’s Day.

31. What is the main idea of the passage?

A. New Year parties in Britain.                       B. New Year countdown in Britain.

C. New Year’s resolution in Britain.                       D. New Year celebration in Britain.
