　　There! I have drawn the chairs into the right corners, and dusted the room nicely. How cold mum and daddy will be when they return from their long ride! It is not time to toast the bread yet, and I am tired of reading.

　　What shall I do? Somehow, I can't help thinking about the pale face of that little beggar girl all the time. I can see the glad light filling her eyes, just as obvious as I did when I laid the dime (一角硬币) in her little dirty hand.

　　How much I had thought of that dime, too! Grandfather gave it to me a whole month ago, and I had kept it ever since in my red box upstairs; but those sugar apples looked so beautiful, and were so cheap―only a dime a piece―that I made up my mind to have one.

　　I can see her―the beggar girl, I mean―as she stood there in front of the store, in her old hood(风帽) and faded dress, looking at the candies laid all in a row. I wonder what made me say, "Little girl, what do you want?"

　　How she stared at me, just as if nobody had spoken kindly to her before. I guessed she thought I was sorry for her, for she said, so sadly, "I was thinking how good one of those gingerbread rolls would taste. I haven't had anything to eat today."

　　Then, I thought to myself, "Mary Williams, you have had a good lunch and a good dinner today, and this poor girl has not had a mouthful. You can give her your dime; she needs it a great deal more than you do."

　　I couldn't resist that little girl's hungry look, so I dropped the dime right into her hand. And without waiting for her to speak, I walked straight away. I'm so glad I gave her the dime, if I did have to go without the apple lying there in the window, I didn't mind.

　　74. Mary got the dime from her ________.

　　A) parents    B) grandfather

　　C) good friend     D) neighbour

　　75. The underlined word "one" in paragraph three refers to(指的是) ________.

　　C) Mary's family used to be poor    D) the beggar girl was really poor

　　C) funny  D) lonely

　　It was my first week in Kansas City, the USA. My friend, Sharon, asked me whether I'd like to try McDonald's for a quick lunch. So, we went. American fast food is quite popular in China, so I could   80   pick something that I used to have in Beijing-a super burger, a coke and French fries, though the names of the food were in English.   81  , the burger was much bigger than what I had back home. I thought to myself, after all, most Americans are bigger than Chinese. They must need more for lunch.

　　With my lunch set in front of me, I wanted some tomato sauce to   82   my French fries, so I went to the waiter and asked him for some tomato sauce.

　　"What?" he looked puzzled. "Tomato sauce?"

　　I started to feel uncertain. I had studied English for six years. He should be able to understand me without any problems. Maybe, it was not called "tomato sauce" here, I    83   .

　　"I'm not sure what you call that thing," I tried again, "but it's American food, and you put tomato sauce on everything."

　　"Sorry , Miss," he said, shaking his head, "but we don't have tomato sauce here. Never have."

　　I walked back to Sharon and asked her the question. She smiled and asked me to wait for a moment. A few minutes later, she came back with several packages that I had asked for. So, they never used the   84   packages for the tomato sauce. Oh, no, it's written right there, "Ketch-up".

　　"What's the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce?" I asked.

　　"I don't know   85   we call it this name," replied Sharon. "Never thought about it."

　　Sharon's smile suddenly made me realize that the difference between Ketch-up and the tomato sauce lay not so much in the food itself as in our different cultures.

　　80. A) carefully  B) happily  C) easily D) hardly

　　81. A) To my surprise B) For example C) In addition D) In this way

　　82. A) compete B) match  C) mix  D) cook

　　83. A) wondered B) believed C) agreed  D) apologized

　　84. A) expensive  B) attractive  C) natural   D) same

　　85. A) how B) where C) why  D) when

　　C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）

　　In the movie 2012, the volcano(火山)in Yellowstone National Park  erupts（爆发）,  smoke flies thousands of meters into the air, and car-sized pieces of stone and ash fly out.

　　Now, some scientists say, it's very possible that the Yellowstone volcano will soon erupt in r  86    life for the fourth time in history, after about 640,000 years. According to the Daily Mail, the volcano in the Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming, US, has been rising at a record rate since 2004. Its magma (岩浆) surface has gone u  87    3 inches (7.6 centimeters) per year over the last three years alone. This rise is one of the main s  88    that a volcano is about to erupt. However, scientists are not certain when the eruption will happen or what it will cause.

　　Unlike what happens in the movie 2012, a volcano eruption would not destroy the whole world, b  89    it could cause huge damage to people living nearby. For example, the 2010 eruption of the Iceland Volcano caused more than 800 people to l  90    their homes and many airports in European countries to shut down for a few days.

　　There are more than 1, 500 active volcanoes in the world. A volcano is c  91    active  if it has erupted at least once during the last 10, 000 years. In ancient times, more than 80 percent of the earth's surface was volcanic. Volcanic eruptions formed the sea floor and some mountains over many years. Gas from volcanoes formed the earth's atmosphere（大气）.

　　Volcanoes come from very hot liquid rock, that is magma, inside the earth. When magama comes upward and breaks through the earth's surface, it forms volcanoes.

　　The rising magma heats water, which leads to explosions of steam. This pushes rocks and ash high into the sky. T  92   different things erupt from a volcano: hot liquid rock, volcanic ash and gases.

　　My mother's dream of becoming a teacher was interrupted by an unexpected child: me. So she had to leave college to marry my father. Even though my mother left the field of education formally, she did not leave it entirely.

　　That first day of kindergarten, I opened my lunch box, inside which I found a note from my mother written on a napkin(一小块布), saying that she loved me, that she was proud of me and that I was the best kindergartner in the world! Because of that napkin note, I made it through my first day of kindergarten ... and many more school days to follow.

　　There have been many napkin notes since the first one. There were napkin notes in elementary school when I was struggling with maths, telling me to "Hang in there. You can do it!" There were napkin notes in high school, when my basketball team was the first team in our school's history to play in a state championship, telling me, "There is no 'I' in team. You have got this so far because you know how to share." And there were even napkin notes sent to me in college and graduate school, far away from my mother's physical touch. Despite the changes of college, majors, boyfriends, and the way I looked at the world, my mother's encouragement, support and teachings, repeated in years of love and napkin notes.

　　For Christmas this year, my 46-year-old mother was finally going back to school to earn her degree in teaching. I also gave her a Christmas gift for school: a lunch bag filled with her favorite foods. As she opened up her "You can do it!" napkin note to me, tears began running down her face. When her eyes met mine, I saw she passed my unspoken message: My mother is, and has always been, a teacher.
