Yours sincerely,
Philip

The story was a true one and still moved me deeply. Thirty years ago, I got to know a 45 lady
named Rose. She had no kids and lived alone. When I went to visit her, I always took Rose some coffee and food.
One day she said she wanted to 46 me to have hunch.
We walked from my work place to a little restaurant on David Street. On the way, I began to worry. I knew
that she had no money, but if I offered (提供) to 47 the lunch, I was afraid I would hurt her.
There were many people in the restaurant and all of them were happy. Rose told me to sit and drink coffee by
the window. Then she went to 48 in the kitchen. After about 20 minutes, she came out and sat with me.
She just paid for one meal and we started to 49 the delicious food together. She told me that the
restaurant let people work for a meal if they had no money, or would give them a free meal if they were not able to
work. To my surprise, she also explained that the workers who were working there were all
volunteers. I 50 remember the beautiful afternoon I shared with Rose. Though we had a meal
together only once, it was paid by Rose’s work. The weather was warm and bright, and everyone’s smile was warm
and bright too.
I’m still thinking that life cannot be easy to us, but we can still do something for our friends and neighbors.
The world will be nicer if everybody would like to share happiness with others. It will never be dark if there is a
light in everyone’s heart.

D. Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答问题) (12 分)
Alice and Jill were nine-year-old twins. Alice had brown hair and brown eyes, while Jill had blond hair and
blue eyes. Alice had a round face, while Jill had a heart-shaped face. For the longest time, the twins were begging
their mom to have a pet. Their choices for a pet were as different as they were.
This is where the problem began. Alice would say, “A dog is a better pet than a cat because you can teach a
dog many things and run in the park with him.” Jill would say, “A cat would make the best pet because we could
just sit and watch him run around in the room.” “A pet is a lot of responsibility,” said Mom. She said the girls
needed to sit down together and make a list of the things they wanted to know about keeping each pet.
The girls agreed, and sat down that night to make their list. They were going to spend the money they saved
together to buy their pets. After school the next day, they went to Mr. Li’s Pet Shop and asked Mr. Li to show them
some dogs and cats. Mr. Li showed them a cute brown dog and a white cat. The girls brought the list they made the
night before and asked many questions. Finally, the girls said, “Mr. Li, we know what we want to have.” “We will
take the cute grey rabbit with a pink nose!” Mr. Li was so surprised. “How did you choose a rabbit?” “We both like
rabbits, and he looks so sad, and we know he is waiting for someone to take him.”
Mr. Li got the rabbit the cage and some food to make sure they had everything they would need. “Do you have
a name picked out for him?” Jill said, “We are going to call him ‘Double love’.” Mr. Li laughed, and the girls
carried Double love to his new home. After going back home, they set up his cage in the living room, checked on
him to be sure he was happy, and played with him often. The girls’ dream of getting a pet finally came true!

她们展示了一只狗和一只猫，由此推测她们会询问店主这只猫和狗的价格。故填How much is the cat and a
dog?

【答案】例文
My Favorite Invention
Mobile phones are without doubt one of the most useful inventions. They were invented by Martin Cooper
from America in 1973.
With the development of technology, mobile phones have brought about many changes in our lives. Firstly,
they make it more convenient for us to communicate with others. We can make calls, send messages, and even
video chat with people anywhere in the world. Secondly, we no longer need to carry cameras with us as mobile
phones can take high-quality photos. Moreover, we can use mobile phones to access the Internet, read news, play
games, and do many other things.
However, as teenagers, we should use mobile phones wisely. We should not spend too much time playing
games or browsing the Internet. Instead, we can use them to learn knowledge, read books, and listen to music. Also,
we should be careful when using mobile phones and avoid being addicted to them.
In conclusion, mobile phones have changed our lives in many ways, but we should use them properly to
make our lives more meaningful and enjoyable.
