4．It was a chilly November evening in New York City，and my daughter and I were walking up Broadway.Nora noticed a guy sitting inside a cardboard box next to a news stand.She pulled at my coat sleeve and said， "That man's cold，Daddy.Can we take him home？"
I don't remember my reply，but I do remember a sudden heavy feeling inside me.I had always been delighted at how much my daughter noticed in her world，whether it was birds in fight or children playing.But now she was noticing suffering and poverty.She wasn't even four.
A few days later，I saw an article in the newspaper about volunteers who delivered meals to elderly people.The volunteers went to a nearby school on a Sunday morning，picked up a food package，and delivered it to an elderly person.I signed us up.Nora was excited about it.She could understand the importance of food，so she could easily see how valuable our job was.When Sunday came，we picked up the package and phoned the elderly person we'd been assigned.She invited us right over.
The building was depressing.When the door opened，facing us was a silver haired woman in an old dress.She took the package and asked if we would like to come in.Nora ran inside.I reluctantly followed.Our hostess showed us some photos of her family.Nora played and laughed.I accepted a second cup of tea.When it came time to say good bye，we three stood in the doorway and hugged.I walked home in tears.
Where else but as volunteers do you have the opportunity to do something enjoyable that's good for yourself as well as for others？Indeed，the poverty my daughter and I helped lessen that Sunday afternoon was not the woman's alone it was in our lives，too.Now Nora and I regularly serve meals to needy people and collect clothes for the homeless.Yet，as I've watched her grow over these past four years，I still wonder which of us has benefited more？

C．He was taken home by the author.

A．Because his daughter had noticed the dark side of life.
B．Because he did not want to take the guy home.
C．Because he felt a deep sympathy for the guy.
D．Because his daughter was afraid of what she saw.
（3）In what order did the story take place？
a.I happened to read a piece of writing about volunteers.
b.Nora found a man and wanted to help him.
c.We just not only help reduce the poverty of the woman，but also the poverty in our lives.

5．The history of Chinese characters dates back to ancient times，with the history of at least several thousand years.
There are many tales and legends about the origin of hanzi，Chinese characters：there is Cangjie，the legendary inventor of Chinese character；the ancient practice of knot-tying；the eight trigrams （八卦）；and ancient painting legends to name a few.It is generally agreed that hanzi began as simple pictures，images that the ancient Chinese people drew，painted or carved to describe nature or their lives.Other ancient cultures developed picture-based writing systems as well，such as the hieroglyphs （象形文字） of ancient Egypt or the script of the ancient Mayan civilization.Hanzi，however，is the only one of these ancient writing systems to survive.
Today，Chinese characters are the oldest continuously used system of writing in the world.Researchers generally agree that the oldest symbols recognizable as Chinese characters are those found on ancient oracle bones.These 3000-year-old symbols，known as，jiaguwen，were carved on turtle shells or bones of animals.The jiaguwen can give all of us in the modern era insight into how ancient Chinese saw the world around them and into their great creativity in expressing their observations.Take，for example，the modern character jia，meaning home or family.The jiaguwen character looks like a house with a nice pig inside，originating from the ancient idea that a good family home has plenty of food.Over thousands of years，this hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms but finally developed in a more stable manner after the unification of China under Emperor Qinshihuang.
When you first look at Chinese characters，you will most likely feel that they are very complicated.However，if you know just a little about how these characters are formed，you will find that they are not nearly as difficult as they seem.About 80% of Chinese characters are composed of smaller parts.jye.ai as radicals （部首），which are combined in many different ways to form tens of thousands of hanzi. Fortunately，you need to know only about two or three thousand characters for use in daily life!
As China takes its place in the international community，the Chinese writing system has spread to other countries.Today，many international students are studying Chinese，both the spoken and written language，and are coming to appreciate China's fascinating culture.And，as China's culture and society have continued to develop，the amazingly versatile Chinese characters （hanzi） have been adapted for use in digital format on computers and other devices.And so written Chinese lives on，spreading Chinese culture wherever it goes.
（1）Why did the writer mention Emperor Qinshihuang in the passage？
A．Because he was the inventor of Chinese characters.
B．Because hanzi evolved into a variety of different forms.
C．Because he helped developed hanzi in a more steady form.
D．Because he unified China and created hanzi.
（2）What can we learn from the underlined sentence （劃線句子） in Paragraph 4？
A．Radicals are smaller parts which can be combined to form hanzi.
B．Chinese characters are composed of radicals.
C．Chinese characters can be combined.
D．Radicals can be combined into thousands of hanzi only.
（3）What may the writer probably talk about Chinese characters in the next paragraph？
A．The relation between Chinese characters and Chinese culture.
B．Tips for foreigners on how to learn Chinese well.
C．Another Chinese traditional culture.
D．The origin of Chinese characters.
（4）What is NOT true about the jiaguwen？
A．The jiaguwen is known as the oldest Chinese character，
B．From the jiaguwen，we can know how ancient Chinese saw the world.
C．The jiaguwen was invented 3000 years ago.
D．We can find the jiaguwen on turtle bones.組卷：3引用：3難度：0.6 -
6．In 1845，a deadly disease struck Ireland，killing all the Lumper potato plants.In another place or time，the death of single crop species might not have been so important.But in Ireland，in 1845，people depended almost solely on the potato for food.The death of one species caused a terrible famine （饑荒）.Now，some scientists are worried that such a famine could happen again，but on a much wider area.
Over the centuries，farmers have discovered thousands of different species of food crops.However，you won't find many of these species in your local supermarket.To feed the seven billion people on Earth，most farmers today are growing only species of plants and farming only species of animals that are easy to produce in large numbers.
In the Philippines，there were once thousands of varieties of rice：now fewer than 100 are grown there.In China，90% of the wheat varieties grown just a century ago have disappeared.Scientists believe that over the past century，more than half of the world's food varieties disappeared.
One solution to this problem is to collect and store the seeds as many different plant varieties as we can before they disappear.The idea was first suggested by Russian scientist Nikolay Vavilov.In the 1920s and 1930s，he collected around 400，000 seeds from five continents.More recently，others are continuing the work he began.
In the US state of Iowa，Diane Ott Whealy wanted to protect historic plant varieties，like the seeds her great grandfather brought to the US from Germany more than a hundred years ago.She and her husband started a place called Heritage Farm，where people can store and trade seeds.
More importantly，people at Heritage Farm don't just store the seeds，they plant them.By doing this，they are reintroducing foods into the marketplace that haven't been grown for years.These food species are not just special in terms of appearance or taste.They also offer farmers food solutions for the future，from the past.
（1）What is this passage mainly about？
A．The fact that many food species are dying out.
B．The need to protect potatoes from disappearing.
C．The ways to increase the number of food species.
D．The ways to prevent food species from disappearing.
（2）The underlined word "solely" in Paragraph 1 is in closest meaning to.
A．immediately
B．only
C．rarely
D．occasionally
（3）Why are some scientists worried that such a famine could happen again？
A．Because people depend on certain species of food crops.
B．Because the same deadly disease may attack crops again.
C．Because the world's population is larger than that in 1845.
D．Because farmers grow the same potatoes as those in the past.
（4）What can we learn from the passage？
A．The disease spread very quickly and killed many people in Ireland.
B．Around 80 percent of the rice varieties in the Philippines have disappeared.
C．Heritage Farm is the first place in the US for people to store and trade seeds.
D．People have been storing seeds to save plant varieties for more than 150 years.組卷：3引用：1難度：0.5
