【題目】 Old John has worked as a school keeper in Hill Ford School. After walking into the school building every day, he cleans rubbish bins and bathrooms.

Last Friday, after he arrived at the school, instead of finding rubbish to clean up, he found almost 500 students lining in the hallway(大廳) with handmade cards and singing a happy birthday song to him. It was his 80th birthday. As he walked the long hallway, someone rushed to him and gave him a hug. They handed him so many cards as well and the cards filled several large boxes. Old John was touched by their expression of affection(關(guān)愛). He thanked them all. “It’s the sixteenth year in this school. They’re like my children.” Old John said.

On a regular day, students sometimes come up to find him and say they’re not feeling well or other times to tell him about something that happened at break time. He knows most of the students at the school, but can’t name each one. Some of them make him know them. Like Faith, who often leaves her school bag in the canteen, and Lucy, who just wants a hug.

Carrie, a reading teacher said,“He won’t brag(夸耀) on himself, but it doesn’t matter what he’s doing or where he is, he will stop what he’s doing at any time to give all his attention and take care of a child if that child is having a bad day. ”

He works circles around all the students, cleaning up the mess others don’t want to touch. He doesn’t expect a lot. Old John said he hadn’t planned to do much for his birthday, so he was touched as the students had prepared the surprise celebration.

Over the weekend, he worked through the handmade cards at his house. One card from a student stood out to him. It read “Old John, you are the most loved one in our school...”

【題目】 When I was a teenager, I got lost in a foreign country. I was in Berlin (柏林), Germany, on my month-long mission trip in Europe. My team and I had one night there to spend however we pleased. Most of my teammates decided to stay indoors and relax. But I did not want to pass up the chance to explore Berlin.

I visited a lot of major attractions around the city that night. When I got tired off, I checked the time on my watch. I was surprised to see that it was two o’clock in the morning! As I walked to a subway station, I realized that it was my dad’s birthday. This would be the first birthday I couldn’t celebrate with him because he passed away a few months earlier. Before I could begin reminiscing (回憶) about my dad, the train was about to leave. I dashed onto the train. At first, I was thankful to have made it onto the train. But it quickly turned to panic (恐慌) when I noticed that the train was headed in the wrong direction!

I looked around the nearly empty train. I saw a young woman sitting quietly by the window and came up to her "Hi. Do you speak English? I’m lost. Can you help me?" I asked.

The woman understood. She told me how to return to where I had first gotten on the train. But I was too nervous to follow her instructions. Without thinking, I asked. Can you come with me? Her face froze at my sudden request (要求). After a long second of hesitation, she agreed to help me.

On the journey back to my train station, she and I chatted. We shared our life stories, our sadness and our hopes for the future. At my stop, she thanked me for sharing so much with her.

【題目】 There's much to see under the sea, but you need to remember that light behaves differently in water than in air. The objects appear closer to you than they exactly are. You might find yourself reaching out to touch something and completely missing it.

Objects under water will appear larger than they would on the surface, too. Be careful not to tell any stories about the big fish that got away. That fish might not be so big after all! It's just because sometimes things can seem to be as much as about 33 percent bigger in water!

What's more, in deeper water, colors just don't seem as bright. In fact, it looks as if some colors are missing. Remember the color of an object results from the wavelengths (波長) of light that are reflected (反射) from its surface. And light is taken in as it moves down through the water.

Swimmers wear wet suits to keep warm underwater. Let's take a bright red, yellow, and blue wet suit as an example. These colors are hard to miss on the surface of water. Watch carefully the changes in color as you descend in the water. The red part now looks almost black because the red light wavelengths, the longest among these three colors, are missing. As you go down deeper, the same thing will happen to the yellow part and in the end to the blue part. Even at a place of about 6 to 9 meters underwater, you will look terrible, like a ghost! And you have to wait for your return to the surface to enjoy the bright colors again!

【1】You miss the object underwater when you want to touch it because________.

A.your eyesight is quite poor

B.you are not quick enough

C.it is not as close as it seems

D.it disappears very quickly

【2】The example of the wet suit is used to explain the change of________of an object underwater.

A.the colorB.the sizeC.the positionD.the weight

【3】The underlined word "descend" probably means________ in this passage.

A.go outB.go upC.go inD.go down

【4】Which of the following is true?

A.The wavelengths of red light are longer than those of blue light.

B.A four-meter-long fish looks three meters long underwater.

C.Much water will be taken in by the swimmer deep in the water.

D.You will see a ghost if you go as deep as 6 to 9 meters into the sea.

【5】The best title of this passage is________.

A.The Standard of Color UnderwaterB.The Direction of Light Underwater

C.The Brightness of Color UnderwaterD.The Behavior of Light Underwater
