（第三部分 阅读理解）（共37分）
VIII. Reading comprehension.
A. Read the passage and complete the following sentences. (阅读短文，完成下列句子，每空一词。) (共5分)
I was frightened on my first day of school. Like a kid going to school for the first time, I felt my heart beating fast as I walked to my first class. American colleges do things quite differently from most Asian ones. Here in America, we choose every class ourselves. Students have the freedom to choose which classes to take, the class times and even the teachers they want.
This was my first time sitting with so many Americans in a classroom. Unlike (与……不一样) many other classmates, I sat quietly by myself. My teacher spoke faster than my English teacher in Shanghai. I had a hard time understanding him.
Now, English is the hardest thing in my life, but I have to use it all the time. I have trouble understanding the teachers in class and communicating with other students, because they use a lot of idioms (成语). To make me understand, sometimes they have to use body language.
Reading and writing are as important as listening and speaking. When my classes started to get busier, the readings get longer. There are so many new words in the books that I have to turn to my dictionary for help from time to time. Like other students, I have to spend a lot of time reading every night, even the weekends.
It is really a hard time for me, but I think I can get more knowledge and new experiences.

40. On the first day of school, many kids feel _____________.
41. In class I sat _____________ by myself, because I have trouble understanding the teacher.
42. It is ____________ to communicate with my classmates in English because they use a lot of idioms.
43. Very often we use body language to ___________ each other better.
44. Students in American colleges are asked to spend a lot of time _____________.

B. Choose the best answer. (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (共5分)
In some parts of the world, people are in trouble. They need food, water and new homes. Large groups like the International Red Cross are always the first to offer help. But thousands of other small groups who aren’t as well-known also give help to those who need it.
Heifer International hopes to offer help to those hungry people. It’s a huge goal, but they are working on it, one family at a time. The organization gives animals such as cows, goats and chickens to families in need. A cow can produce about fifteen liters (升) of milk a day. Often that’s enough for a family to drink and still have some to sell. The families receive an animal and learn how to care for their animal. Each family also agrees to give away one of their animal’s babies to someone else in need. This keeps the “gift” going. In this way, Heifer International has helped over 38 million people in the past 60 years.
According to Helen Keller International (HKI), 75 percent of the blind people can be treated (治疗). Some simple medicine can help prevent blindness. But 90 percent of the blind in developing countries are very poor. In fact, they are too poor to get the right kind of eye care. That’s what HKI wants to do for the blind. In 2003, the organization provided medicine for millions of children in Asia and Africa. It reached every child in some areas. HKI’s goal is to end blindness by the year 2020.

45. Besides the International Red Cross, _______ like HKI also offer help to people.
A. big companies B. developing countries
C. small groups D. rich people

46. Heifer International not only offers animals to the hungry people but also teaches them how to _______.
A. make money B. sell milk
C. manage money D. care for animals
47. So far, how many people have received help from the Heifer International?
A. 15 million. B. 38 million. C. 75 million. D. 60 million.
48. What has HKI offered to prevent blindness in developing countries?
A. Some money. B. Some animals. C. Some food. D. Some medicine.
49. In 2003 Helen Keller helped the children in developing countries in _______.
A. Asia and Africa B. Europe and America
C. Europe and Asia D. America and Africa

C. Choose the best answer. (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) (共5分)
Suppose you are 17 and live alone with no money. Years ago, that was my dad. His father died when he was 10, and as the oldest of five, he had to take care of his brothers and sisters. When his mother remarried (改嫁), my dad had to leave home. With few choices, he joined the army, and worked as hard as he could for a job, a nice house, and a family. Having a dad like him has made me different from other people; with his help and advice, I set and meet my goals.
When I wanted to play basketball, my dad said, “Don’t let anyone tell you what you can or can’t do.” People thought I was too small to play, but he let me know I could. Looking back now, I know why my dad said this to me: it was something his father and mother never told him.
Time flew by It was time for me to look for a job. A department store offered me a job as cart (推车) assistant. For the whole day, I pushed shopping carts. It was so cold that I couldn’t move my hands. But my dad wouldn’t let me give up, even though I wanted to. He kept saying it would get better, and he was right. I’ve worked there for a year now and I do much more than just push carts.
My dad helped me grow into the person I’m becoming. When I was younger, I was small. The other boys called me “Lil Nicky”. I hated it. I went to my dad for a help. He encouraged me and helped me make an exercise plan and I got to work.
In my life, there are different roads. My dad helped me get on the one I continue on today. I know I am just at the beginning. There will be difficulties. But there will always be my dad. Even when he is not physically here for me, his words won’t leave my mind.
50. At the age of _______, my father had to care for his brothers and sisters.
A. 15 B. 17 C. 5 D. 10

A. so he will die peacefully B. though he has left me
C. even when he is dead D. when he is not at home

D. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words. (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺。每空格限填一词，首字母已给) (共14分)
If you’re traveling to the United States, you’ll need to understand the common way to say hello, a handshake. Friends shake hands. Women, men and even c 55 can shake hands.
Shaking hands also seems simple, but there are some important things to r 56 . When you shake hands, you must look into the other person’s eyes the whole time you’re shaking hands.
Shake hands strongly. If you give a weak handshake, the other person might t 57 that you’re sick. They might also feel that you don’t like them or want to touch them. If your handshake is strong e 58 , you should feel the other person’s hand get a little narrower. Shake hands with men and women the same way. If you shake hands with a very old person or a small child, be careful not to hurt them.
Some people don’t know how long to k 59 shaking. The most common handshake should have three “shakes” and then you should let go. Don’t worry, if Americans shake hands a little longer.
Your handshake is l 60 your smile. It’s special to you. You need to find a comfortable strong handshake that shows who you are. Because the handshake allows people to touch, the hand should be warm, clean and dry.
Warm: Put your hands into your pockets b 61 you shake hands. This will warm them.
Clean: If you know you’re going to meet someone, wash your hands so they’ll be clean.
Dry: Everyone gets nervous and your hands may get wet. It isn’t a good feeling for the other person. Again, put your hands into your pockets. This will dry them.
