一、阅读理解
A
Last year,I spent two-and-a-half months in Paris,living alone and working on a writing
project.Although there is a seemingly great divide between my culture and theirs,I realized I could learn an awful lot.
The first thing I noticed in Paris is that no one here walks around with a “to-go” cup of coffee.And I mean no one — I haven’t seen a single person carrying one in the days I’ve been here.Back home in New York,it’s normal for every other person on the street (including me) to be carrying a cup from Starbucks or their local coffee shop,but not here.It’s been a valuable lesson for me,and something I can take back from Paris.Now I carry my own cup to the coffee shop instead of getting yet another cup that will go straight into the garbage can ten minutes after it’s placed in my hands.
Also,in the grocery stores,shoppers have to bag their own groceries.The simple act of doing that yourself is another chance to think about things:what kind of bag you’re using (I recently saw one customer at my local grocery store put his fruit,cans of soup,and toilet paper into his briefcase!),what you’re putting in the bag,and what you will really need to eat and use at home (Did I really need that roll of paper towels or will my dish towels back at the apartment do just fine?).My French friend uses the bags from the grocery store as her kitchen garbage bags.Now,so do I.
Anyway,in Paris,people do most of their shopping in small markets:they buy their fruit at one,their cheese at another,and then stop at their local bakery to buy that day’s fresh-baked bread,and walk out holding the bread only one part of which is covered by a piece of paper big enough for their hand.I certainly haven’t noticed any supermarket like a Wal-Mart or Sam’s Club. 1.What is the author’s reaction to “to-go” coffee cups after visiting Paris? A.She pays little attention to them. B.She is interested in them. C.She refuses to use them. D.She is surprised at them.
2.What does the author say about grocery stores in Paris? A.They offer no bags to customers. B.They seldom sell bags at low prices. C.Customers usually use briefcases as bags. D.Customers themselves put groceries in bags.
3.Which of the following shows how the text is organized?

Leo Kellner loves helping people in the sweetest way possible — by baking them cakes and pies.The 99-year-old from Hastings,Nebraska,lost his wife in 2012;they had been together for 72 years.
Since her passing,Kellner took up baking as a way to give back to the community.“I didn’t know what to do with myself,” Kellner said.“I was crying and crying,and I said,‘I’ve got to have something to do,’ and that’s how it started.” That first year,Kellner made 144 pies for people in need.He reached out to community organizations to let them know he’d like to connect with families having a hard time.Kellner then started reaching out to those families,getting to know them,and baking up some love during their time of need.
“Everybody’s my favorite — I love everybody,even people that gave me an unpleasant time when things were going hard for me.I’ve since made them cakes and pies.I hold no grudges,” said Kellner.
Born in 1918,Kellner lived through the Great Depression,when his family lost their farm.Kellner had to move from state to state as a teenager looking for possible work on farms.“I knew what it was to be poor,and a lot of times we just had eggs and flour mixed up together,” he said.“So as long as I can do it,I will.”
And Kellner’s made quite an impact.“I’ve got friends from all over,” he said.“I’ve gotten thank-you cards from Alaska.” Through his baking Kellner has helped the community a lot.He’s even helped some neighbors’ children learn to cook so they can spread love just as he does.“I do it for everybody,” said Kellner.“That’s just the way I am.” Kellner believes that this inclination (意愿) to give to everyone just might be the secret to a long,happy life.
4.Why did Kellner set out to bake cakes for people in need? A.To find a part-time job. B.To connect with poor families. C.To repay people for all their kindness. D.To reduce his heartbreak of his wife’s death.

二、七选五
In May,my friend Jess and I started looking for summer jobs.After a couple of weeks of looking for jobs at clothing stores and restaurants,Jess and I decided to try something different. 1 We got the idea from something we did last year.
Jess and I both love to dance,and we have been taking dance lessons for years.One day last fall,my aunt asked us to organize a birthday party for her daughter. 2 First,we did a short dance show for them,then we taught the girls a few steps.Because it was a girls’ party,we also brought in nail polish (指甲油).The girls really loved it!
3 We went to the library and borrowed books on magic tricks and paper folding.Jess’s uncle knows how to make balloon animals and taught us how. 4 Jess practices doing it a lot,so she is better at playing magic tricks than I am.
