That would affect him for the rest of his life. Bwelle spent years taking his father to overcrowded hospitals.It was not easy. They would leave home at 5 a.m. and ran to the hospital to be the first. There were a lot of patients. Some people could die because they were waiting.The situation hasnt changed much since Bwelles father died in 2002.In Cameroon，there is one doctor for every 5,000 people while in the United States there is one doctor for every 413 people. And even if they could see a doctor，many Cameroonians couldnt afford it.When he saw his father and so many of his countrymen suffer，Bwelle decided to do something about it.He became a doctor himself.And he started an organization，ASCOVIME. It travels into the countryside on weekends to provide free medical care. Since 2008，he and his group of volunteers have helped nearly 32,000 people.Almost every Friday，his team jam into vans and travel to villages in need. In each trip they receive 500 people. Patients come on foot from 60 kilometers around the village for free treatment.The next morning，the team will do simple operations in a schoolhouse，town hall or home，and work into the early hours of Sunday morning.On Sunday，the team heads back to the city，tired but proud of their work. They know that their help can make a world of difference to those they help.For his devotion to his country and people，Georges Bwelle becomes one of the 2013 Heroes voted throughout the world.21 . （小题1）Jamef Bwelles broken arm developed into a serious illness probably because.Ahe had been hurt too seriouslyBhe had been taken to hospital too lateChe had not received proper treatmentDhe had not followed the doctors advice22 . （小题2）Which is one of the problems about medical care in Cameroon？AThe country has too large a population.BMany people are too poor to pay for treatment.CDoctors generally have too poor medical skills.DHospitals are too far away from the countryside.23 . （小题3）We can reach the conclusion that Bwelle and his team are.Apatient and confident Bpolite and helpfulCkind and hardworkingDlively and creative24 . （小题4）The passage mainly tells us.Awhy Bwelle decided to become a doctorBwhat bad conditions Cameroonians are inCthat doctors are badly needed in CameroonDhow Bwelle has become an admired doctorTammy came home from school one day with a note from her teacher, Ms Jones. The note said, “Tammy is having trouble seeing the board. Maybe Tammy needs to have her eyes examined.” After mom read the note, she decided to take her daughter to Dr. Grays office.Mom picked Tammy up after school the next morning and went to Dr. Grays office. Tammy was so nervous. The doctor told them that Tammy was having trouble seeing things from far away. The doctor would need to pick out some glasses to help her see well. “I dont want to wear glasses!” Tammy said. “All the girls are going to laugh at me,” Dr Gray laughed and said, “Im wearing glasses.” “You look so pretty in yours.” said Tammy. “Suppose we pick out some glasses that look almost like mine?” In the end Tammy and Dr. Gray found some brown and black glasses like hers. Tammy put them on and read from far away for Dr. Gray. “Everything looks so clear!” said Tammy. “I really like my new glasses.”Tammy went to school the next day and put her glasses on to read the board. She expected the girls to laugh at her, but the girls said, “Tammy, your glasses are so cool!” “I wish I had glasses,” said Heather. “Me too,” said Susan.

Id spend hours thinking of different things I could plant that would look nice together. But then we had Matthew. And Marvin. And the twins, Alisa and Alan. And then Helen. Five children. I was too busy raising them to grow a garden.Money was tight, as well as time. Often when my children were little, one of them would want something that cost too much, and Id have to say, Do you see a money tree outside? Money doesnt grow on trees, you know. Finally, all five got through high school and college and were off on their own. I started thinking again about having a garden. Then, one spring morning, on Mothers Day, I was working in my kitchen. Suddenly, I looked out of the window and there was a new tree, planted right in my yard. I thought it must be a weeping willow(垂柳), because I saw things blowing around on all its branches. Then I put my glasses on - and I couldnt believe what I saw. There was a money tree in my yard! I went outside to look. It was true! There were dollar bills, one hundred of them, taped all over that tree. There was also a note among them: Thank you for your time,Mom, we love you. later my children bought me tools, ornaments(装饰物), a sunflower ,stepping stone and gardening books. That was three years ago. My gardens now very pretty, just like I wanted. When I go out and take care of my flowers, I dont seem to miss my children as much as I once did. It feels like theyre right there with me. I live in a city where winters are long and cold, and summers are way too short. But every year now, when winter sets in, I look out my window and think of the flowers Ill see next spring in my little garden. I think about what my children did for me, and I get tears in my eyes - every time. Im still not sure that money grows on trees. But I know love does!30 .

The best title of the passage is_AMy Money TreeBMoney Grows on a TreeCLove in WinterDMy kids and IDo you know of anyone who uses the truth to deceive(欺骗)? When someone tells you something that is true, but leaves out important information that should be included, he can give you a false pictureFor example, someone might say, “I just won a hundred dollars on the lottery(彩票). It was great. I took that dollar ticket back to the store and turned it in for one hundred dollars!”This guy is a winner, right? Maybe, maybe not. We then discover that he bought $ 200 worth of tickets, and only one was a winner. Hes really a big loser!He didnt say anything that was false, but he left out important information on purpose. Thats called a half-truth. Half truths are not technically lies, but they are just as dishonest.Some officers often use this trick. Lets say that during Governor Smiths last term, her state lost one million jobs and gained three million jobs. Then she tries another term. One of the persons who dont support her says, “During Governor Smiths term, the state lost one million jobs!” Thats true. However, an honest statement would have been, “During Governor Smiths term, the state had a net gain of two million jobs.Advertisers will sometimes use halftruths. Its against the law to make false statements so they try to mislead you with the truth. An advertisement might say, “Nine out of ten doctors advised their patients to take Yucky Pills to cure toothache. ”It fails to mention that they only asked ten doctors and nine of them work for the Yucky Company.This kind of thing happens too often. Its a sad fact of life: Lies are lies, and sometimes the truth can lie as well.35 . We may infer that the author believes people should _.Abuy lottery tickets if possibleBmake use of halftruthsCbe careful about what they are toldDnot trust the Yucky Company36 . How many examples does the writer give to show how the truth is used to deceive?AOneBTwoCThreeDFour37 . Which of the following is true according to the passage?AUsing half truths is against the law.BTechnically, half truths are in fact lies.CYucky Pills is a very good medicine for toothache.DGovernor Smith did a good job during her last term.38 . Which of the following best expresses the main idea of the passage?AHes really a big loser!BSometimes the truth can lieCAdvertisers will sometimes use half truthsDIts against the law to make false statements三、单词填空Only Mother Love is true love. It gives you e39 . in her life. When you are still a baby, mother t40 . good care of you as much as possible.

A good scent (气体),like flowers, brings you pleasure. A bad scent, like smoke or sour milk, warns you of danger. Most things around you release scent particles (微粒) into the air. These invisible chemicals enter the nose when you breathe. Nerves in the nose send information to the brain to identify a smell. You are able to recognize thousands of smells.BreathingMost of the air you breathe enters through your nose. The nose uses hair and mucus (粘液) to clean dust and germs (细菌) out of the air. The air that enters your nose contains oxygen. Your body uses oxygen to unlock the energy in the food you eat. Even when you sleep, your body needs energy to keep your heart beating and your brain working.TastingYour nose helps you enjoy food. Flavor is a mixture of taste and smell. The smell of the food helps you identify what you are eating. The sense of smell contributes more to (贡献) food flavor than the sense of taste .When you are sick and have a stuffy nose, your food doesnt taste as good because without smell, food loses most of its flavor.Smell memorySmells can bring back memories. Your brain uses a process to create a picture in your mind from the odors(气味)you smell. Smells can affect your feelings because the part of the brain that helps you identify smells is close to the area that affects your emotions, mood and memory. More smell memories are collected as you get older.Your nose has many important jobs, and is more than just a smeller!56 . How many important jobs does a nose do according to the passage? What are they?57 . Smelling helps you recognize thousands of smells, doesnt it?58 . What does the nose use to clean dust and germs out of air?59 . What happens to your food if you are sick and have a stuffy nose?60 . How do smells bring back memories?61 . What do you think of your nose? Why do you think so?六、话题作文62 . 中考在即，为此阳光中学在九年领组织了一次“怎样备考”的主题班会，同学们交流了各自的做法。请用短文表述你记录的五点做法，并提出一两点你自己的做法；针对以上备考打算谈谈你的看法。要求：词数100左右（不包括已经给出的句子） ;文中不得出现真实的人名，校名等相关信息。The high school entrance examination is coming soon.
