Organize a blank drive It is cold outside, but imagine how thousands of homeless people may feel without a home of their own, or even a blanket to keep them from the cold. Organize a blank drive for your local homeless, and ask around for donations! Practice random acts of kindness Ill never forget the time when I went to pay for my Dr. Pepper, but the sever resisted, saying my bill was paid by an anonymous(匿名的) guest. Its this random act of kindness that restores my faith in humanity. Bless someone by paying for their drink at Starbucks, or praising them! If you live somewhere where it snows, shovel your neighbours snow out of their driveway for them! Whether it is as simple as praise or as plex as paying the bill, youll never know how far your impact will reach.Say thank youJust a simple thank-you can make somebodys day, especially if they feel like their work is never noticed. Cultivate（培养） a smile on their face by being sincere and grateful for all that they do. Use your talents to help the munity The best way to show your appreciation for people is by using the talents and skills you have to bless others. For me, I love to coordinate（协调） events and write , and so my way of reaching out to the munity is through writing articles and creating awareness about problems we face today. If you can bake, make some delicious cookies for people to enjoy! If you can knit, put your talents to use by making clothes for children in foster care. Any talent can be used to help the munity in meaningful ways. Wish you a happy, healthy and helpful holiday season. 56.

Enjoy Your Holiday Season D. Make a Difference in Your Holiday Season B With all the wars, fighting and sadness in the world today, its not only necessary, but also essential to have a good sense of humor just to help us get through each and every day of our lives. Putting a smile on someones face when you know they are feeling down in the dump, makes me feel good and warms my heart. How would you feel if you could not joke around with your wife, husband, child, co-worker, neighbor, close friends, or even just someone that you are standing in line with at your corner store? I am always saying things that make others smile or laugh, even if I dont know the person Im joking around with. My Grandma always found humor in everything she did, even if it was the hardest job anyone could imagine. This not only relieves stress in anysituation, but also is mon courtesy(礼貌)to speak to others that are around you.I know of a few people that dont have a funny bone in their bodies, as they say.Everyone around them could be rolling on the floor after hearing a great joke and they would sit there without the slightest smile on their face. They dont get the joke that makes others laugh. I am busting a gut while they just sit there, looking at me as if I were from outer space. How can people not get a really funny joke?Laughing is essential to keep your stress levels under control. Without humor we would find ourselves with a lot of psychological problems, or on a lot of medications to keep us from going crazy. There is too much sadness in this present world. It drives people crazy. We all need to find a way to ignore the sadness and bring a little light into our lives. So, I believe our best medicine is to get together and tell some jokes and have some fun laughing together.61. According to the author, humor is useful in the aspect that _.A. it makes people more confident B. it can pick up peoples spiritsC. it can help get rid of the cruelty in the world D. it can help people get on well with others62.

In writing the passage, the author mainly intends to _.A. encourage people to be humorous in daily lifeB. talk about his own understanding of humor C. introduce a practical way to get through daily life D. convince people of the power of being optimistic about life65. What is the authors attitude towards the present world?A. CriticalB. Positive C. Satisfied D. Indifferent CA black hole is a place in space where gravity pulls so much that even light cannot get out. The gravity is so strong because matter has been squeezed into a tiny space. This can happen when a star is dying.Because no light can get out, people cant see black holes. Space telescopes with special tools can help find black holes. The special tools can see how stars that are very close to black holes act differently from other ones.Black holes can be big or small. Scientists think the smallest black holes are as small as just one atom. These black holes are very tiny but have the mass of a large mountain. Mass is the amount of matter, or “staff”, in an object.Another kind of black hole is called “stellar”(星球黑洞). Its mass can be up to 20 times more than the mass of the sun. There may be many stellar mass black holes in Earths galaxy. Earths galaxy is called the Milky Way.The largest black holes are called “supermassive”(超大质量黑洞). These black holes have masses that are more than one million suns together. Scientists have found proof that every large galaxy contains a supermassive black hole at its center. The supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy has a mass equal to about four million suns and would fit inside a very large ball that could hold a few million Earths.Scientists think the smallest black holes formed when the universe began. Stellar black holes are made when the center of a very big star falls in upon itself, or falls apart. When this happens, it exploded part of the star into space. Scientists think supermassive black holes were made at the same time as the galaxy they are in.A black hole can not be seen because strong gravity pulls all of the light into the middle of the black hole. But scientists can see how the strong gravity affects the stars and gas around the black hole. Scientists can study stars to find out if they are flying around, or orbiting a black hole.When a black hole and a star are close together, high-energy light is made. This kind of light cannot be seen with human eyes. Scientists use satellites and telescopes in space to see the high-energy light.66. The gravity of a black hole may bee so strong that light cannot get out when_.A. the star is going to die B. special tools are used on itC. other stars e close to it D. it is seen from the space telescopes67. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A. A black hole can be very tiny but extremely heavy.B. The gravity of a black hole holds all light in its center.C. Scientists observe high-energy light through their own eyes.D. Some small black holes came into being as early as the universe.68. Which can be inferred from the passage?A. Every galaxy must have a black hole. B. A galaxy is the center of the universe.C. A galaxy consists of a large group of stars and planets. D. Earths galaxy is called the Milky Way.69. What does the last sentence in Paragraph 5 suggest?A. Neither the sun nor the earth is as heavy as a black hole.B. There is only one supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.C. The supermassive black hole had existed before the Milky Way was formed.D. There is a reason why the large black holes are called “supermassive”.70. The last two paragraph mainly focus on the question of _. A. what a black hole is B. how black holes form C. how big black holes are D. how scientists know about black holesPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.The history of Mothers Day is pretty interesting. An early form of the idea may have originated in the 17th century England as “Mothering Sunday”, on which the servants, who generally lived with their employers, were encouraged to return home and honor their mothers. A special cake, called the mothering cake, was often brought along to provide a festive touch. Mothers Day, first suggested in 1872, is linked to the anti-war efforts of Julia Ward Howe. She hoped a day set aside to honour mothers would be a way to promote peace. In 1907 a woman by the name of Anna Jarvis took Howes idea a step further and began a campaign for a nationally recognized Mothers Day. After considerable effort, Anna Jarvis finally saw her dream realized. On May 9, 1914, President Woodrow Wilson made the official proclamation(宣布) that Mothers Day would be an annual holiday on the second Sunday in May. And so it is to this day. For those of us whose lives have been shaped and nurtured by loving moms, the day
