　　Benefits of honesty

　　Sarah Darling met a homeless man called Billy Ray Harris and gave him her purse, with all her change in it. It was not until the next morning she realized that she had left her diamond ring in the purse. To her surprise, when she and her husband Bill Krejci found Billy, Billy immediately returned the ring. The grateful couple paid him back for his honesty by emptying out their pockets.

　　However, Bill Krejci, a web designer, felt that he needed to do something more for this honest man. He set up a special page for him on money- raising site "Give Forward" with a goal of raising $1,000 in 90 days. In just four days, the donations rose to over $85,000.

　　That was not all. Because of all the media coverage, Billy reunited with his elder brother, Edwin Harris who he had not met for 27 years. The two talked for 45 minutes on the phone and Edwin was planning to take Billy to his home in Lubbock, Texas.

　　All this good fortune came just because Billy did the right thing - He returned something that did not belong to him. Honesty is surely the best policy!

　　【参考范文】读写任务 (One possible version)

　　The passage is a story about honesty. Billy Ray Harris was given many donations after he honestly returned a diamond ring to Sarah Darling. Moreover, he got the opportunity to reunite with his long-lost brother.

　　　I appreciate Billy Ray Harris very much. His honesty touched Sarah Darling and her husband as well as the whole society. The donations offered to him have proved that “one good turn deserves another”.

　　　As far as honesty is concerned, I have had an unforgettable story to tell. About ten years ago, my friend Susan brought a beautiful pen, which I loved so much that I stole it. That night, I was filled with regrets. After struggling for the whole night, I decided to tell her the truth. I was much surprised that Susan was not angry at me. So I have understood that honesty can clear misunderstanding and promote friendship.

　　　As a matter of fact, we should be honest with our friends, because only in this way can we win their trust.

　　As computers become more popular in China, Chinese people are increasingly relying on computer keyboards to input Chinese characters. But if they use the computer too much, they may end up forgetting the exact strokes(笔画)of each Chinese character when writing on paper. Experts suggest people, especially students, write by hand more.

　　Do you write by hand more or type more? In Beijing, students start using a computer as early as primary school.And computer dependence is more wide­spread among university students. Almost all their assignments and essays are typed on a computer.

　　All the students interviewed say they usually use a computer.

　　It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer. And that’s why computers are being applied more and more often to modern education. But when people are taking_stock_in computers increasingly, problems appear.

　　“When I’m writing with a pen, I find I often can’t remember how to write a character, though I feel I’m familiar with it.”

　　“I’m not in the mood to write when faced with a pen and paper.”

　　Many students don’t feel this is something to worry about. Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite?

　　Many educators think differently. Shi Liwei, the headmaster of a famous primary school in the capital said “Chinese characters enjoy both practical and aesthetic(审美的)value. But those characters typed with computer keyboards only maintain their practical value. All the artistic beauty of the characters is lost. And handwriting contains the writer’s emotion. Through one’s handwriting, people can get to know one’s thinking and personality.Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”

　　To encourage students to handwrite more, many primary schools in Beijing have made writing classes compulsory(必修的) and in universities, some professors are asking students to turn in their homework and essays written by hand.

　　内容解读

　　本文主要讲述了这样一个故事：作者6岁时，在爷爷的农庄里捡山核桃。但捡山核桃很累，作者只捡了半篮。这时，作者看到一只松鼠也在捡山核桃，而且它的树洞里已装满了山核桃。为了取悦爷爷，作者就把它们都拿了回来，但爷爷告诉他不要攫取别人的劳动果实，最终作者又把它们放了回去。

　　1．B　[从上下文可知，“我”被爷爷派去捡山核桃，再结合第一句中的“farm”和选项可知“我”应该到树林(woods)里去。]

　　2．A　[从后面的“我”才捡半篮可知，捡山核桃对“我”来说是一项挺困难的(hard)活。]

　　3．A　[从下文可知，“我”不想让爷爷失望，此处let sb.down令某人失望。]

　　4．C　[catch one’s eye表示“引起某人的注意”。]

　　5．D　[该句中的三个动作表承接：先“picked up”，然后“hurried to”，最后“disappeared”。]

　　6．A　[该处表示“不久，那只松鼠又从洞中跳了出来(jump out)”。]

　　7．B　[从后文中dashed over to the tree可知，作者认为松鼠捡山核桃不再是秘密了。]

　　8．B　[“我”发现洞中到处都是山核桃，be filled with是固定词组，意为“充满着”。]

　　9．C　[看到洞中有这么多山核桃，作者认为自己的机会来了。]

　　10．D　[作者拿了这么多山核桃，非常高兴，当然很骄傲。be proud of自豪，骄傲。]

　　11．D　[前后句构成“因果关系”，因此用therefore。]

　　12．B　[“我”告诉了爷爷，“我”是如何跟踪(follow)松鼠，并找到这些山核桃的。]

　　13．C　[此处表示爷爷虽然表扬了“我”，但他接下来做的事情让“我”很吃惊(surprise)。]

　　14．D　[爷爷用胳膊挽着“我”的肩膀，用介词around。]

　　15．A　[松鼠收集了过冬食物，此处supply of food表示“食物储备”。]

　　16．C　[句意为：你把他的食物都拿走了，难道你没有想过他在寒冷的冬天还能活下去吗？survive挺过，符合语境。]

　　17．C　[句意为：好人不应该利用(take advantage of)别人的辛勤劳动。]

　　18．A　[句意为：爷爷说了这些话后，“我”突然有了一种负罪感(guilty)。]

　　19．B　[那只松鼠挨饿的场景在“我”心头挥之不去。]

　　20．D　[他做了一件正确的事情而感到很满足(satisfaction)。]

　　语篇定位

　　本文主要介绍了圣诞节期间不同地方所开展的灯会。

　　1．B　[主旨大意题。由整篇文章可知，五个广告全部是关于圣诞节期间不同地方的灯会的宣传。选项A错误，因为五个灯会并不是在一个地方；选项C的范围太大；选项D错误，因为本篇文章并不是关于产品的广告。故答案为B。]

　　2．C　[细节理解题。由文章的第二个广告可知，the 100­foot tall“tree of lights”属于Cowboy Christmas的活动内容。故答案为C。]

　　3．A　[细节理解题。由文章的第三个广告可知，大人的票价是8美元，4岁和4岁以下的小孩免费，停车费是12美元。另外，如果捐献罐装食品或玩具，可以减掉2美元。故答案为A。]

　　4．D　[推理判断题。由文章的最后两篇广告可知，在这两处活动中都可以欣赏到animated displays。故答案为D。]

　　5．A　[作者意图题。由文章可知，这五个广告所描述的活动有些是可以免费参加的，有些是收费的；有些是接受捐助的；有些是不作要求的。因此，本文的目的就是吸引更多的参观者。故答案为A。]

　　6．B　[主旨大意题。文章围绕话题：我们学生是依靠电脑还是应该手写作业展开的。]

　　7．B　[细节理解题。由第四段“It’s faster and easier to correct if using a computer.”和第七段中“Now that it’s more convenient and efficient to write on a computer, why bother to handwrite？”可知学生依赖电脑是因为电脑方便，快捷，修改容易。]

　　8．C　[正误判断题。由倒数第二段中“Beautiful writing will give people a better first impression of them.”可知书写可以给人好的第一印象， 但并没有说可以帮助建立自信。故C项表述错误，符合题意。其他选项文中均有明确表述。]

　　9．B　[词义猜测题。结合上文computer dependence和下文的表述，不难推出getting dependent on的意思为“相信；依靠”。故B项为正确答案。]

　　10．C　[推理判断题。最后一段介绍：许多小学把写作课已规定为必修课，在大学里，要求学生交书面作业。由此我们可以得出结论：今后越来越多的学生会重视书写。故C项为正确答案。]
