一、阅读理解。
A
One morning，a blind boy sat on the steps on a building with a hat by his feet.He held a sign which said，I am blind.Please help me.
There were only a few coins in the hat.A man was walking by.He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat.He then took the sign，turned it around，and wrote some words on it.He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the new words.
Soon the hat began to fill up.A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy.That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were.The boy recognized his footsteps and asked，“Are you the one who changed my sign in the morning? What did you write？”
The man said，“I only wrote the truth，I said what you said，but in a different way.”
What he had written was，“Today is a beautiful day，but I can't see it.”
Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?
Of course both signs told people the boy was blind.But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat.The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day，but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.
The first sign simply said the boy was blind，while the second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.
There are at least two lessons we can learn from this simple story.
The first is: Treasure what you have.Someone else has less.Try your best to help those who need your help.
The second is: Be creative.Think differently.There is always a better way.

B
I lost both of my parents in a car accident when I was five. Fortunately, at that age a child doesn’t understand the finality of such an event.
Many years later, at the age of twenty-three, I was planning my wedding to Sheldon, who came from a complete loving family, the type I expect. Sheldon and I had already bought our first home with a large, beautifully landscaped yard. As the date grew closer and we owned our home.
The day before our wedding we were working on the yard. We were so pleased with everything there. But one plant puzzled us. A rosebush which stood just outside our front door looked like it might be dead, but since neither of us could be sure, we decided to keep it for some time.

That same evening, after the dinner, I was too excited to sleep. So I decided I needed some quiet time to reflect on the next day. I went to the backyard and sat in the warm, clear, star-filled night. It was there that I realized the only thing missing from my wedding day would be my parents. There had been no time to think of this until now and the thought filled me with sadness. After all, every girl dreams of having her father wait her down the aisle and her mother there to comfort her. Alone in the yard, I began speaking to my mom and dad, just as I had known they were listening.
“Give me a sign on my wedding day to let me know you’re with me.”
The next day Sheldon’s excited voice repeatedly called my name. I rushed to join him at the front door.
“I can’t believe what I’m about to show you!”
The barren rosebush had two huge roses in full bloom.
There was no doubt in my mind that we were witnessing a miracle—a miracle of love.

A. the writer expected to organize a complete family
B. the writer was experienced in managing a yard
C. the writer could celebrate her parents
D. the writer hoped to be loved by her parents
17. Why did the rosebush trouble the writer?
A. Because it had a sign of dying away B. Because it grew in a wrong place
C. Because it was difficult to take care of D. Because its leaves were always falling
18. The writer came to the yard that night to________
A. see whether the rose grew B. think about her wedding carefully
C. pray for her parents D. calm herself down before sleeping
19. The two huge roses are a sign of _______
A. life B. bad weather C. love D. pity

三、任务型阅读
阅读下面短文,用英语完成思维导图。
Did you have any interesting dreams last night? Do you know everyone dreams? But
7
not everyone remembers their dreams. A person can usually have up to seven dreams a night, and each dream usually lasts from 10 to 40 minutes.
Why do we dream? Scientists believe that we dream to remember because dreams come from our memories and they tell us a lot about ourselves. They also help us learn from the past and even help us solve problems.
Different dreams mean differently to people. For example, if you dream about flying, you are probably quite happy. This is a good time in your life. You may feel that other people see you as a leader. And when you dream that you didn't study for a test, it usually means you are worried about an important thing coming in your life.
参考答案：
1、remember 2、seven/7 3、reason(s) 4、dream(s) 5、happy
