My wife passed away a few years ago, and I went through the worst time in my life. I even wanted to kill myself .Just for kids, I had to continue to live and work as small-town doctor at my medical clinic in Hawaii. My kids had gone to live on the mainland, and I was alone. Then they asked me to have a family trip. On our trip, we turned on the TV at the motel and saw the second plane crash into the World Trade Center. Seeing it falling down, I said to my kids: “I’m going to Afghanistan”. And a few weeks later, international Medical Corps sent me to set up 20 clinics in provinces where people had no health care. In these field clinics surrounded by frightening shoots or deadly bombs, we were eventually serving 27,000 patients a month in a very busy schedule. Tired and nervous, I gradually had a sense of achievement, a sense of purpose, and my depression went away.
In the years to follow, I went to Indonesia after the tsunami, Pakistan after the earthquakes, Sudan after the civil war and Iraq after more and more bombs. Each time after disasters one after another, hundreds of people were killed, wounded and many more had to flee. We once set up movable clinics in an area with 19,000 refugees, and it was supposed to hold 13,000 originally. Flu broke out, one of the biggest killers of kids in refugee camps, and it spread like wildfire. Water and food were also serious problems. “Adventures or not?” I often asked myself.
When my wife passed away, I thought my life was done. But in reality, it was just getting started. At the end of her life, she went unconscious. I held her head in my hands and told her of all the places we would visit and the exciting adventures we would have.
I think about the moment many times during my “adventures”. I didn’t know how predictive those words would be. But I know that she is still with me.
1.Where has the doctor been in the past few years?
A.Some countries where he could set up clinics.
B.Some African countries where flu broke out.
C.The places where the earthquakes happened.
D.The places that the horrible disasters struck.
2.How would the doctor describe his life after he had worked in Afghanistan?
A.Tired and troublesome. B.Busy and risky.
C.Meaningful and helpful D.Frightening and depressing.
3.The underlined word “refugees” means people_______________.
A.who are robbed, killed, or wounded
B.who suffer from flu in movable clinics
C.who like to take adventures

A few years ago, I worked at a church(教堂). Since my son was home schooling, he went with me to the church every day. Most mornings, we’d stop at a local store, and get a chocolate drink for him and a cup of coffee for me.
The clerk(店员) at the store made our lives more enjoyable each day, and so we returned again and again. She had found her own way of enjoying life and her job. I’m not even sure if she realized that her warmth and brightness put a smile upon the face of each customer(顾客).
When a customer brought cakes to the counter, any other clerk could have asked: “Would you like some milk with those cakes?” Instead, she asked: “Would you like a lottery ticket(彩票) with those cakes?”
She might have asked me if I wanted sugar with my coffee. But instead, she asked: “Would you like some batteries(电池) with that coffee?”
Yes, life is what you make of it. This clerk’s method of dealing with what some think is a boring job, and with the customers she met daily, made the hours in her day more enjoyable. In doing that, she also refreshed the lives of others and made them laugh.
Sometimes, if my day at the church had been very tiring, we’d stop at that store before going home. We’d giggle (咯咯笑) as we left the store, the clerk’s words echoing (回响) behind us.
“Would you like some shampoo (洗发香波) with that orange juice?”
1. When did the writer and her son usually stop at the local store?
A. In the morning. B. At noon.
C. In the afternoon. D. In the evening
2. Why did the writer and her son return to the store again and again?
A. Because the drinks were delicious there.
B. Because the food was cheap there.
C. Because they felt happy there.
D. Because there was only one store.
3.What was the clerk like?
A. She was serious. B. She was lively.
C. She was nervous. D. She was silly.
4.The clerk at the store may ask the customers, “_________”
A. Would you like some milk with the cakes?
B. Would you like some bread with the milk?
C. Would you like batteries with the toys?
D. Would you like pencils with the cake?

A few years ago, I went to China with my parents. The five-day trip left me with a deep impression.
As the capital of China, Beijing is a very beautiful city with fresh air and clean streets which make the travelers feel very pleased. To my surprise, many people there were learning English. Later I was told that they did so because Beijing would hold the 29th Olympic Games and they wanted most foreigners to understand them. They strictly kept the traffic rules. When there was a red light, no one was seen crossing the street.
Of all the places I visited, I liked the Summer Palace best. To our surprise, although it was winter when we were there, we still saw green trees and many fresh flowers. The whole park was very beautiful.
We visited a very modern football field. We were told the buildings where the Olympic Games would be held were even better than that. I also enjoyed skiing in Xiangshan. Skiing is an interesting and exciting sport liked by many people.
In my eyes, China is a nice place and Chinese people are very kind. In Beijing Station, there were so many people, and most of them were going home to spend the Spring Festival—the most important Chinese festival, with their families. Passengers helped each other carry luggage(行李), and they were very kind to foreigners. We were given a card by the hotel we stayed at, on which was the address of the hotel. With the card we never got lost in the city.
The five days passed quickly, but the trip left me a lot of sweet memories.
根据短文,从题中所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中,选择最佳答案。(10分)
1.From the passage, we know the Summer Palace ______ .
A.has flowers only in summer

A few years ago I went through a period of such depression (抑郁症) that life didn’t seem worth living. It was like winter, so cold that the sun would never shine.
Then I saw snowdrops (雪花莲) pushing through the freezing, hard ground. I looked at them every day until I felt that if they could come back to life, then so could I. Those green shoots gave me hope in a way that nothing else did.
As spring came, I started to put in more and more plants until the garden was filled with color. Life was growing through my hands; gentle, peaceful, but, above all. Optimistic. If I gave love, it was returned much more.
I could spend hours lost in gardening. The depression I have is passed from my mother. It has affected generation (代) of my family and may happen in any situation. I can be depressed when the sun is shining or I am with a group of loving friends.
Of course, fresh air and exercise help to make depression less serious, but for me gardening is more than that. It means patience as well as hope.
At the end of the9 first garden I made stood a huge tree. It stood up to freezing temperatures and strong winds. It bent(弯曲) but never broke. The leaves dropped until it was covered with noting, but it always, always came back to life. And so I learned that we may fall down, but hope is living thing.
1.What does the underlined sentence mean?
A.I could come back to life sooner or later.
B.I looked after them carefully so they could come back to life.
C.I don’t know if they could push through the freezing hard ground.
D.I could also come back to life if the snowdrops could.
2.According to the fourth paragraph, who may not have depression?
A.My friend B.My mother C.My son D.My grandmother
3.From the passage, we know that _____
A.I couldn’t find my way in the garden.
B.Although the bad weather made the tree no longer straight, it never broke.
C.I could feel happy when there were lots of friends around me.
D.The leaves fell and the tree died.
4.This passage is probably from a(n) ______
A.CD review B.advertisement C.magazine D.guide book
