5．My best friend has two first names．One is Heather，and the others Na-ri．I （34）have never seen．（never see） her use the name Na-ri．But today，for the first time，she is writing a letter with this name．
She （35）was born（bear） in South Korea and adopted by American parents when she was two years old one day，she told me about her childhood When she went out to dinner，some South Korean strangers tried to talk to her in Korean．She didn't understand what they （36）were saying （say），so she
 just looked at them．She said that she still remembered how they looked at her．Their eyes seemed to say，"Poor girl．You are an abandoned child．"From that day，Heather tried to keep saying to herself that 
she was American．
Two days ago，she received a letter from South Korea．The letter （37）was sent（send） to Na-ri．She was so surprised that she couldn't open the letter．So I did it for her．The letter was written in
Korean．I said，"Heather，you should ask someone （38）to read（read） this for you．It was written in Korean．"But she was silent．
Yesterday，on the way home，I saw her （39）crying （cry） on a bench near my house．"What is it，honey？"I said．She told me that her birth mother had blood cancer，and the only cure for her
illness might be Heather's blood．I asked how she knew this．Heather said she had learned Korean
secretly．Crying hard，Heather only repeated，"What should I do？What should I do？"I really had
no answer．
This morning，Heather called me．"（40）Willyoube（be） with me when I write a letter to
South Korea？"I gladly went over to her house．Heather didn't seem to have slept at all．I hugged her and told her everything would be okay．Now I （41）am sitting（sit） in front of Heather watching her write a letter．She hasn't told me what she is writing，but I can guess．Heather is writing，"Na-ri is coming，mother．"

20．C
We often face the following situations in our daily life：
•The woman next door plays her piano after 12 o'clock at night 
•The family across the street never cleans up their yard．The rubbish blows into your yard．
•The man next door always parks his car in front of your drive．
     Have things  like this ever happened to you？If so，you may ask yourself，"Who are these people？Why are they doing these things to me？"
     These days，many people don't know their neighbors．Sometimes we share a friendly smile or say hello，but lots of people don't even know their neighbor's names!When you don't know someone，it's easy to be angry when something has happened that you think is unfair．You think，"Maybe they like to make me angry，"or"Maybe they do it on purpose．"Believe it or not，your neighbors probably don't mean to irritate you．Often，they don't even know that they're making you feel angry．So before you take unusual steps to fix the problem，you should discuss it with them first．
     When you move towards your neighbors，you should talk to them in a friendly manner．Praise their children to make them feel good．Then explain the situation．And if you can think of a simple way to solve the problem，suggest it．
     If talking doesn't work，ask another person to help，This person can listen to both sides of the story and help you and your neighbor solve the situation．
     Finally，sometimes it's a good idea to avoid the problem．Depending on the problem，it might be best to just stay out of your neighbor's way．

18．C
    William  Shakespeare  died  on April  the  23rd  in  1616．This  year's 400th anniversary of his death  is not  just a chance  to  remember one of   the greatest writers of all  time．It  is a moment  to celebrate his ongoing  influence．Just as Ben Jonson，another great English writer of his  times，said，"he is not of an age，but for all time．"
    People  like  Shakespeare's  plays  because  the  characters  show  real
human feelings．Romeo and Juliet，who are young lovers，they don't quite know how to get ahead
with their lives．And they disagree with their parents．Their story has a sad ending．When we take
the characters out of his period，they really speak to almost any time and place．
    The  language  of  Shakespeare  is  alive  and  well  in modern，everyday  English．Even  if  an
English-speaker knows nothing about Shakespeare，they will surely know some sayings that come
from his plays．When we have problems making up our mind，we say"to be or not to be：that  is
the question"（Hamlet）．When a friend eats all the food in the house，we say he's"eating me out of
house and home"（Henry IV）．
    But Shakespeare's  influence  is  felt  far beyond his  language and his culture．"Cowards die
many  times before  their death，the valiant （英勇的） never  taste of death but once．"This saying
from Shakespeare's historical play Julius Caesar encouraged Nelson Mandela  to fight on when
he was  a  prisoner．Shakespeare's  influence  is  everywhere，from Goethe  （a German writer）  to
Tchaikovsky．
    As Shakespeare himself put it in his comedy As You Like It，"all the world's a stage．"More
than  400  years  later，stages  around  the  world  still  show  his  plays．Through  his  works，
Shakespeare lives on．Perhaps we'll still be attracted by his works 400years from now．
38．What is the writer's main purpose in writing the article？B
A．To introduce the life story of William Shakespeare．
B．To explain why Shakespeare's writing lives on．
C．To recommend some of Shakespeare's best-known works．
D．To explore the influences of Shakespeare's comedies．
39．Which of these sayings can be used to express the main idea of Paragraph 2？D
A．All the world's a stage．B．To be or not to be：that is the question．
C．The valiant never taste of death but once．D．He is not of an age，but for all time．
40．Paragraph 4is mainly aboutD．
A．some famous Shakespearian sayings         B．some Shakespearian historical stories
C．Shakespeare's influence on modern English   D．Shakespeare's influence on wider society
41．By  the  last sentence"Perhaps we'll still be attracted by his works 400years  from now"，the   writer meansA．
A．Shakespeare's influence will last for a long time
B．Britain will remember William Shakespeare forever
C．Shakespeare's works will be gone and forgotten some day
D．Shakespeare's works will have a stronger influence than ever before．

17．B
    Last summer，after 16years  in America，I  travelled  to Moscow where  I grew up．I was  the
first  in  my  family  to  return．Mom  gave  me  a  hand-drawn  map  showing  the  location  of  my
grandfather's grave（坟墓）．She asked me to visit it．I promised her it would be the first thing I'd
do．
    But it wasn't until a day before I was leaving that I found time to visit．
    By the entrance to the cemetery（公墓），a lady was selling flowers．She had only seven left．I
bought them all，but it was then that I realized the map was lost and never found．
    I could call my mom．It was already morning in New York．
    But the problem was that I had already told her I'd gone to the cemetery．What was I going to
say？That I decided to go again but lost the map？
    Then  I  found  the  office．An  old  woman  searched  the  records  and  found  two  Abraham
Pikarskis with no further details．
    I set off to look for them，hoping that at least one would have a picture on the stone．
    I found the two graves．Both said Abraham Pikarski，no pictures，nothing else．
    Which grave was mine？
    I put three flowers on the grave in front of me and went back to the first one．I also put three flowers there．
    I  stood  there with  the  last  flower．Which Abraham Pikarski  should  it  go  to？Should  I  just
discard  it  so  that  each Abraham Pikarski got  an  equal number？Finally，I put  the  flower on  the
grave．If this is really my grandfather's，he got the most．If not，let this be a respect to the stranger．
I flew home to New York the next day．When Mom saw me，she started crying．
"Mom，it's only been a week…"
    She  said，"Son，thank you  for visiting Grandfather's grave．It  really means  so much  to me．
When you  called  and  told me you went  there，I  thought you were  just  comforting me．But  this
morning，my cousin called from Moscow，saying she saw your flowers on your grandpa's grave．"
Should I ask her how many flowers her cousin saw？Three or four？
34．Why didn't the writer call Mom for the location of his grandfather's grave？C
A．Because it was midnight in New York．
B．Because he found the hand-drawn map．
C．Because he didn't want Mom to know he broke his promise．
D．Because his mom didn't know where Grandfather's grave was．
35．The writer's mother cried becauseC．
A．she missed her father so much
B．she hadn't seen her son for a week
C．the writer visited his grandfather's grave for her
D．the writer put four flowers on his grandfather's grave
36．In which situation does the writer have no difficulty making a decision？B
A．How to deal with the last flower．
B．Whether to visit his grandfather's grave．
C．Whether to phone Mom for the grave's location．
D．Whether to ask Mom how many flowers her cousin saw．
37．This passage shows the writer's character mostly through the use ofA．A．description of his thoughts and actions       B．his long dialogues with other people

16．（B）
    There once lived a young man who thought himself to be poor．One day he went to a wise man（智者） to ask how to become rich．The wise man said，"Young man，you are already rich now．"
"But where is my wealth（财富）？"the young man asked．
"It is with you．Your eyes are your wealth．You use them to see this world．You use them to see all the beautiful things in this world．Your feet are your wealth．You can go to any place…"the wise man said．

"No，I'm not going to do so!My eyes are important to me!"the young man said．
    Everyone is rich．We should treasure（珍惜）our wealth，and take care of it．We should not overuse it because once it is gone，it is gone forever．Remember it is our wealth that we do not want to lose．
