Everyone seemed to enjoy talking about other people and their lives. I also didnt like the fact that people seemed very close-minded. I felt trapped. I felt like I was missing . It seemed to me that city life would be the opposite.Then I took my first trip to New York City. I couldnt wait to experience the city. However, when I arrived in the Big Apple, it wasnt at all what I had imagined. I knew it was home to thousands of people, but I hadnt had the least expectation to see so many people on the street at one time. All the streets were filled with people. I also felt a little surprised to see that everyone was in a hurry and everything moved at such a fast pace(步伐). When I took the subway for the first time, I said hello to the middle-aged woman next to me. She looked at me with dislike and didnt say a word.After just one day, I realized how important my small town is to me. Now I miss the familiar faces I see every day. I like the feeling of safety and belonging my town offers. Jim Thorpe gives me a sense of community and togetherness that the city doesnt provide. I realize just how much a simple hello does for a stranger it really can make your day a little better.My big trip showed me that my small town really has its own values in me that I didnt even know I had. I never would have known what a big place my town holds in my heart if I had not taken that trip to New York City.（1）What surprised the author most in New York City?A . The gestures of greeting.B . The modern transportation.C . The modern life.D . The crowded streets.（2）What made the author change his / her attitudes to his /her hometown?A . Travelling to New York City.B . The familiar faces in Jim Thorpe.C . Greeting the middle-aged woman .D . Everybody likes talking about others.（3）What would be the best title for the passage?A . Love of my small townB . A sense of communityC . A pleasant trip to New York CityD . Differences between big cities and small towns3. （15分）阅读短文, 根据短文内容回答问题。Once upon a time there was a writer who liked to go to the ocean to do his writing. He had a habit of walking on the beach before he began his work. One day he was walking along the beach. As he looked down the beach, he saw someone moving like a dancer. He smiled to himself at the thought of someone who would dance to the day. So he began to walk faster to catch up. As he got closer, he saw that a young man was reaching down to the shore, picking something up and very gently throwing it into the ocean.As he got closer, he called out, Good morning! What are you doing?The young man stopped, looked up and answered, Throwing starfish into the ocean.I guess I should have asked, why are you throwing starfish into the ocean?The sun is up, and the tide(潮汐) is going out, and if I dont throw them in, theyll die.But, young man, dont you see that there are miles and miles of beach, and starfish all along it? You cant possibly make a difference!The young man listened politely, then picked up another starfish and threw it into the ocean, past the breaking waves and said, It made a difference for that one. And he kept throwing starfish.There is something very special in each and every one of us. All of us can make a difference in life. If we know that, we have the power to shape the future.（1）When did the writer meet the young man?（2）Why did the young man throw starfish into the ocean?（3）What can we learn from the passage?二、 根据句意完成已给出首字母或汉语提示的单词，使补全后的句子意思 (共8题；共8分)4. （1分）I saw two boys standing up _ (同时). 5. （1分）Its d_ for me to play tennis well, I need your help. 6. （1分）Mr. King is very p_.
