Dear Mrs Fairweather,
I would like you to know how sorry I am for my part in the accident at the Babingley cross-roads.
I have been across that crossing any number of times and I know very well the amount of traffic that uses
that main road. It was a bright sunny day and at about three in the afternoon, the sun was low over the Wash. In
other words, the sun was shining low over the main road. In normal conditions, I would have no difficulty in
seeing traffic coming from the Dersingham direction, but I can only imagine that I failed to see the car coming,
and I am very contrite about the bad results.
I was somewhat shaken after the accident, but I was greatly relieved that non e of you were seriously injured.
As a crowd was beginning to gather, I was advised to return to Sandringham House by a local Police Officer. I
have since learned that you suffered a broken arm. I am deeply sorry about this injury.
I wish you a speedy recovery from a very distressing (痛苦的) experience.
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.

For many people, ice cream is the top summer treat. But it was different back in the 1700s. Back then, ice
cream was not so p 51 in America. It came to America from France. But it was a treat only for people with
lots of money.
Ice Cream Ingredients Were Pricey
To make ice cream you need milk, ice, salt and sugar. In the 1700s, most families could not a 52
these.
First, the family would need a cow. They would need to be able to keep some of the cow’s milk for t 53 .
Most families had to sell all of their milk to make money.
Ice had to be cut from a nearby river or creek in the winter. Then it was s 54 in an icehouse so it
would not melt. So, to make ice cream, you needed to build an ice house.
Sugar and salt cost a lot of money, too. These were not made in America. They had to be shipped in from the
Caribbean islands.
President Washington. Loved This Treat
One man was rich enough to make ice cream, though. His name was George Washington. Washington and
his wife, Martha, loved ice cream. The c 55 lived at Mount Vernon and made ice cream. Mount Vernon
was a large farm where they lived in Virginia. The land was taken care of by enslaved people. These were people
who were forced to work w 56 being paid. On plantations, they grew crops such as coffee and tobacco.
Washingtons Spent Lots On Dessert
Historians know about the Washingtons’ love of ice cream from r 57 showing what they owned. The
papers show that the Washingtons had many “ice pots.” These were used to hold ice cream. According to the
historians, Washington spent a lot of money to make ice cream. In 1790 he spent 200. That is like spending 5, 000
on ice cream today.
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
公众号：初中英语助手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!
58. Did Alice and Jill look the same?
59. What does the underlined “problem” refer to?
60. Who would pay for the pet?
61. Write down one question you think the girls asked Mr. Li.
62. Why did the girls call the rabbit “Double love”?
