第一节【答案】
Dear Mary,
How is it going? I’m really glad to receive your e-mail. Now, let me tell you something about the Spring
Festival in China.
The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. It’s to celebrate the lunar calendar’s new year. In
the evening before the Spring Festival, families get together and have a big meal. In many places people like to set
off firecrackers. Dumplings are the most traditional food. Children like the festival very much, because they can
have delicious food and wear new clothes. They can also get some money from their parents. This money is given
to children for good luck. People put New Year scrolls on the wall for good fortune.
The Spring Festival lasts about 15 days long. People visit relatives and friends with the words “Have all your
wishes”. That’s how the Chinese celebrate the festival. I hope I can enjoy myself in the coming Spring Festival.
Look forward to hearing from you soon again!
Yours,
Jenny
第二节【答案】
Later, as we stood by the burning tent to keep warm, we considered our difficult situation. Our campsite was
in the deep of the forest, really far away from the highway. We were in the middle of nowhere, wearing only
underwear, with our supplies burnt into ashes, including our cellphones. Even Steve was unsure what to do next.
The only thing we could do was just sitting in the cold air and wondering how to get out of the forest.
高中英语 必修第二册 3 / 4
Suddenly, we heard a noise in the forest. Anxiously we listened and stared into the darkness. A jeep appeared.
A forester had spotted the light from the fire and had come to have a check. We jumped into the warm vehicle and
the forester drove us to the ranger station, where we were given clothes and were able to call our parents. Steve and
I had many more camping adventures from then on, but it was on this trip that Steve began to treat me more like a
friend and equal, rather than a younger cousin. Our friendship continues to this day.

Before I turned 10, I lost my parents. I lived alone in a room that a family member allowed me to use rent-free.
To support myself, I began to deliver newspapers.
I would be up every morning by 5 am and walk five kilometers to the newspaper office. By 6 am, I would
collect 50 copies of Urdu Daily — the bundle（一捆） must have weighed over 5 kilograms. My working area
spanned（跨越） 3 kilometers. After distributing（分发） the copies, I would rush home — another 3 kilometers
— quickly eat and be off to high school.
One morning when I got home after my deliveries, I found a boy my age at my doorstep. He introduced
himself as Afzal and said his father wanted to see me.
I was greeted at the door by Afzal’s mother, Naseem. She served tea and snacks as Afzal’s father, Mr Kader,
joined us.
Later, as I was about to leave after thanking them, Mr Kader asked me to wait. Naseem asked me, “How many
miles do you walk every day?”
“A little more than six,” I replied.
My reply shocked her. I saw Mr Kader emerge again, wheeling（推） a new bicycle. It was a Hercules, quite
expensive in pre-Independence India.
“This is for you!” he said.
It took a few seconds for the love to sink in. It felt warm, like home, as if my mother were there for me. I
didn’t realize tears were rolling down my face.
Mr Kader said, “Your newspaper editor is a friend of mine. He gave me your address, so I knew you lived
close by. Then Afzal told us more about you.”
Confused, I asked Afzal how he knew so much about me. His reply surprised me. “Everybody, not just in
school but the whole of Kachiguda, does!” he said.
I bowed, gratefully, shook hands with Afzal and left. This time I did not have to walk — I had the bicycle.
The bicycle saved my life for many years thereafter and taught me a life-long lesson: Help should always be
need-based. Never try to feed a person who is dying of thirst.
4. Why did Afzal’s father want to meet the author?
A. He wanted to help the author.
B. The author’s parents used to be his friends.
C. He wanted to know more about the author.
D. The author reminded him of his own childhood.
5. How did the author feel after Afzal’s father offered him the bicycle?
A. Satisfied. B. Interested. C. Touched. D. Confused.
6. To the author, the bicycle was ________.
高中英语 必修第二册 3 / 9
A. a long-desired gift B. a childhood toy
C. something that offers extra convenience D. something that got him out of difficulties
7. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean?
A Sometimes helping others can hurt your relationships.
B. Try your best to help others even if you cannot.
C. Know what the person needs when giving help.
D. It’s difficult to find out what a person really wants.
C
The story of Santa Claus began hundreds of years earlier. During the fourth century, a Roman Catholic church
official called Nicholas of Myra became famous for his many good actions. Nicholas was made a saint after his
death and it became common in northern Europe to hold a celebration on December 6th, the day Nicholas died. All
kinds of stories were told about saint Nicholas and the Dutch brought one of these stories with them to America.
They believed that each year the saint rode a white horse from home to home. He gave presents to children who
had been good, and coal or straw to children who had been bad. Other Americans who lived nearby greatly enjoyed
the Dutch celebrations. They decided to make saint Nicholas part of their own celebration of Christmas. But he got
a new name Santa Claus. It was taken from the Dutch words for Saint Nicholas, Santa Claus. The Dutch imagined
Saint Nicholas to be a serious, even frightening person, who could punish as well as give gifts. But in 1822, an
American named Clement C. Moore wrote a Christmas poem for his children, the poem called A Visit from St.
Nicholas, created a completely new Santa Claus. Dr.Moore described a short, happy, little man who rode in an open
sleigh. The sleigh was pulled from house to house by eight white reindeer. At each house Santa delivered gifts by
dropping them down the chimney into the fireplace. Dr. Moore’s poem was published in a newspaper in New York,
in 1823. It soon became popular all over America and it became the source for the Santa Claus American children
still believe in today.
An American artist named Thomas Nast also played a part in creating Santa Claus. Beginning in 1860’s, Mr.
Nast drew pictures of Santa Claus for an American publication called Harper’s Weekly. These pictures showed a fat,
smiling old man with a red nose and white beard. He was dressed in a red suit with white fur and a black belt.
Today more than one hundred years later, that same Santa Claus can be seen everywhere at Christmas time.
8. Nicholas died ________.
A. on December 25th B. on December 6th C. in 1822 D. in 1823
9. Nicholas became famous because ________.
A. he lived during the fourth century B. he was a Roman Catholic Church official
C. he did a lot of deeds D. he lived in Myra, the ancient capital of Lycia
10. The Dutch believed that Saint Nicholas ________.
A. gave presents to each child B. gave nothing to the bad children
C. gave coal or straw to the bad children D. gave presents to the adults

11. The Santa Claus that American children trust today comes from ________.
A. a newspaper B. a poem C. a chimney D. a forest

You may have been told in the past that reading to your children can help their development. Now an
organization is trying to stress it even more.
The American Academy of Pediatrics is now having doctors encourage parents to read aloud to their children,
even at the earliest stages. They say it is an important part of the brain’s development in the first three years of a
child’s life.
“Although reading to our children can be a simple thing, it has a huge effect on our children. It can encourage
our children to read later on in life and give a good start to their education. It can enhance the vocabulary and other
communication skills. We can continue to do something that doesn’t take a lot of time and energy to tell the
children that love of reading is so important when they are babies,” said Dr Heidi Stoltenberg at Mayo Clinic
Health System.
Reading to your children is very important. Stoltenberg said it is never too early to start. “It may seem kind of
unusual because we don’t necessarily think babies are at an age when you would read to them, but immediately
when you come home from the delivery（分娩） of your baby is a great time to start that,” Stoltenberg said.
Studies have shown that the poverty level plays a major role in parents who read to their children. Many times,
that is simply because the families cannot afford books or other things to read. There are many resources（资源）in
our area to help those families get reading materials. The United Way of Freeborn County, and many others across
the region, have teamed up with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library. Many local hospitals including Mayo Clinic
Health System in Albert Lea and Austin, also take part in Reach Out and Read.
12. What does the underlined word “enhance” in the third paragraph mean?
A. Choose. B. Receive. C. Increase. D. Prevent.
13. What is Stoltenberg’s opinion of reading to babies?
A. She thinks it is completely meaningless.
B. She believes babies may get hurt if you do that.
C. She insists that the parents turn to some experts.
D. She holds that reading to babies should start as early as possible.
14. What’s the main difficulty for parents to read to their children?
A. Being short of tim
