He liked his new school and made friends there, but then things at home started to change. His mum and dad began to argue and the arguments got worse and worse until one day, Daniels mum left. With his father working long hours, Daniel felt very lonely and very unhappy. He wanted to escape, to run away. And thats what he did.Very early one terribly cold morning when the snow was deep on the ground, he packed a bag with some clothes, some chocolate and a map of Canada and set off to a forest. He ran and ran until he could hardly breathe. His feet were heavy with the snow but he still walked on through deep snow, not even watching where he was going.Then, disaster struck. A rock hidden by the deep snow caught his feet and Daniel fell to the ground. He had broken the bone. He was very cold and was starting to feel tired, but he knew that if he fell asleep in the snow, he would certainly die from the cold.A tree shook ahead. From within the branches, a pair of yellow eyes watched Daniel. The puma had been following him. A puma is a large wild cat with claws that could tear. Daniel into pieces. But instead of moving in for the kill, the puma walked up to Daniel and lay across his chest, arms and legs. Daniel was too frightened to move, but soon the warmth of the animal reached Daniel and he began to feel better. From time to time, the puma pressed his muzzle against Daniel and rocked his head gently. Clearly, the puma knew that Daniel must not fall asleep. This animal should have been a real danger to Daniel and yet the boy began to feel safe.They remained like that for several hours until Daniel and the puma heard voices.

The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldnt see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “No,”said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “Im in trouble because of my pride (自大) !

When God asks Cain where Abel is, he replies, I dont know. Am I my brothers keeper?”by which he means, “Am I responsible (有责任心的) for my brotherhis safety and health?”The answer, of course, is “Yes, you are.”This sense of responsibility for others is basic to all good societies. And also it is basic to what we call “civil(文明的) society”. China is now working on building a civil society and the high schools in Shanghai want students to take part in that through volunteering. They are supposed to do sixty class hours of volunteer work before graduation. This is something new in China, but it is not new in other countries.In theCanadian province of Ontario, high school students are required to do forty hours of volunteering. In some American states, the volunteering requirement is one hundred hours. These students spend about an hour a week during the school year and summer vacations, helping the poor, the sick and the old. They also teach young children to read and help to clean up the environment. And studies have shown that this volunteering experience influences students a lot after graduation.Some of you may be thinking, “Gee, sixty class hours is a lot. How can I find the time?” In fact, if you finish it in three years, you only need to do the work about three class hours a month. And the time is well spent if it helps you realize that “being your brothers keeper” makes you a better person and makes society a better place for everyone.（1） A Shanghai high school student should finish class hours of volunteer work before graduation.A . thirtyB . fortyC . sixtyD . one hundred（2） The underlined word “that”in Paragraph 2 refers to “ ”.A . building a civil societyB . reading the BibleC . doing the volunteer workD . playing more sports（3） According to the writer, “being your brothers keeper”means “ ”.A . being a good school studentB . being responsible for othersC . taking good care of your brotherD . doing volunteer work with your brother（4） The main purpose of the writing is to .A . tell students where to do volunteer workB . give advice on how to be a good volunteerC . encourage students to do more volunteer workD . introduce volunteer work in different countries6. （10分） DISCOVER BEIJING!Why not take your children to Beijing this coming summer holiday?

Nearly 50 percent of students say they are worried about robbery on the way to and from school. Now in many big cities in China, some school has taught an unusual lesson: self protection.

Or smog（烟雾）-eating buildings?Arconic, an American company, has made plans to build a 4.8-kilometer-high skyscraper（摩天大楼）. It says that the super tall building can clean not only itself but also the air around it by “eating” smog and pollutants（污染物）. But how is it done?Sherri McCleary, s scientist at Arconic, says they have introduced a new technology called EcoClean. It is a special coating that pulls pollutants out of the air. With a little help from sunlight and water vapour（水蒸气），the coating will produce atoms（原子能）called free radicals（自由基）. It is these free radicals that will take in air pollutants, break them down, and then leave the air cleaner.But “eating” smog and pollutants is not the only thing this skyscraper is able to do. In fact, thanks to 3D printing, the materials the building used will become even better and stronger-not only making the skyscraper look more modern, but also make it possible to stand strong winds and terrible weather.However, some people dont think it will work out well. Air pollution has its own character and it harms lots of cities. Does the smog-eating building have such a magical ability to stop the pollution? It seems impossible to bring the pollution under control in a short time. We should prepare ourselves for a hard fight against the pollution.Sounds impossible? Anyway, Arconic believes a skyscraper of this kind will be built by 2062.（1） EcoClean works by_. A . standing terrible weatherB . bowling out air pollutantsC . breaking down free radicalsD . pulling pollutants out of the air（2） The fourth paragraph is mainly about_. A . what Arconic isB . how EcoClean worksC . what else this skyscraper can doD . why scientist want to build this skyscraper（3） Arconics attitude（态度）towards the skyscraper can best be described as _. A . hopefulB . regretfulC . thankfulD . unbelievable（4） The writers purpose of writing this article is to_. A . bring people some pleasureB . introduce a wonderful technologyC . show how to build the tall buildingD . tell us the importance of protecting the environment9. （10分） 阅读理解( A )Once Effendi had a joke with the Prime Minister (宰相).
