1 . The sun was rising when Daryl’s delivery (递送) truck with goods reached the highway. This was the best time of day to drive, when the roads were wide open and empty. He felt sure he was going to make it to Los Angeles before midnight.

Then he saw it, a large lump in the middle of the road. He stopped and found the lump was a girl. He tried shaking her awake but she wouldn’t move, so he carried her to the side of the road. At least she wouldn’t be run over (辗过) there. Now she was someone else’s problem because he didn’t have time to be a hero. He climbed back into his truck but as he looked in his mirror and saw the girl still lying by the side of the road, he knew he couldn’t leave her. Daryl put her into his truck and drove to the next town.

An hour later he arrived at the police station. After explaining what had happened, he prepared to leave, but the policeman said he needed to make a report. Daryl knew it was impossible for him to get to Los Angeles on time now.

Three hours later the report was done and the girl had recovered somewhat. She explained that she had fallen on the highway, weak from hunger. She also thanked Daryl for saving her life. Daryl told her that he had been happy to help, but as he left the police station he knew his boss wouldn’t be happy.

Just as he was about to start the car, his mother called. “Have you seen?” she said, “a bridge collapsed two hours ago, the one that you drive over on the way to Los Angeles.”

Daryl’s blood ran cold. If he had been on time, he would have been on that fallen bridge. Daryl realized how lucky he was.

1. What did Daryl plan to do?

A．Go on holiday.	B．Deliver some goods.
C．Visit his mum.	D．Make a report.

2. Why did Daryl first leave the girl by the side of the road?

D．He worried the police would blame him.

3. How did Daryl feel as he left the police station?

A．Confident that he would be on time.

B．Angry that he had to make the report.

C．Proud that he had saved the girl’s life.

D．Worried that his boss would be angry.

4. What does the underlined expression “Daryl’s blood ran cold” in the last paragraph suggest?

A．Daryl was now feeling more relaxed.

B．Daryl thought he would be in trouble.

C．Daryl was greatly shocked by the news.

D．Daryl felt the sudden change in temperature.

5 . On Sunday, April 23, almost 50,000 athletes took to the streets to compete in the 37th London Marathon. While few were able to get even close to Daniel Wanjiru’s 2:05:48 winning time, none were as slow as Tom Harrison,who crawled (爬) to the finish line, six days later, on April 30.

However, the Metropolitan Police Officer, who was dressed in a gorilla (大猩猩) suit, had a good reason for his slowness. He had completed the 26.2 miles on all fours to raise funds to help gorilla conservation efforts in Africa. The 41-year-old who spent 8—10 hours on his hands and knees, covered about 4.5 miles each day before crashing at a friend’s house for the night. To prevent his knees from blistering, he swapped between hands and knees into loping (大步走) along on hands and feet and took breaks every 100 to 200 meters. But the arduous crawl was well worth it.

Harrison, who crossed the finish line at 11:45 am, has raised over £37,000 ($47,800), far more than his original goal of £1,790 ($2,300), for the Gorilla Organization, whose efforts are mainly spent in Rwanda, Uganda, and Democratic Republic of the Congo. The much-needed funds will help train the communities near gorilla habitats to support themselves and make them rely less on selling wildlife meat for a living. The money will also help pay for ranger services to monitor excess hunting of the Great Apes. More importantly, Harrison hopes his six-day crawl will highlight the bad situation of the gorillas, whose numbers are decreasing at alarming rates, and encourage more people to help protect them.

While thrilled at the outcome, Harrison, Mr. Gorilla, is not done yet. He intends to continue his fundraising efforts at the annual Ride London cycling festival scheduled for the weekend of July 28-30, 2022.

1. Why did Tom Harrison crawl to the finish line?

A．To improve his physical and mental health.

B．To collect money for the Gorilla Organization.

C．To win the title of the slowest Marathon runner.

D．To advertise policies for Metropolitan Police.

2. What does the underlined word “arduous” mean in paragraph 2?

A．Tough.	B．Funny.
C．Harmful.	D．Attractive.

3. What is the general aim of the Gorilla Organization?

A．To help protect habitats for endangered gorillas.

B．To protect gorillas in some African countries.

C．To monitor and punish illegal hunting for gorillas.

D．To make people aware of the bad situation of gorillas.

4. Which word can best describe Tom Harrison?

A．Strong.	B．Hard-working.
C．Caring.	D．Smart.

7 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

I could hear footsteps (脚步声) following me. I stopped and turned to see who it was. The dark street light did not allow me to see far and it looked like I was alone. I could not hear anything other than my heart beating wildly. Was it my imagination?

I was returning home after a late music lesson. My parents were attending a meeting so I had to get home on my own. The distance from my music teacher’s house to my home was just 500 meters. The street was darker than I had expected but I was not very worried about the short walk home. I was busy thinking about my upcoming music exam when I became aware that I was being followed.

I continued on my way, keeping an eye out for any sounds. There it was again, the sound of someone walking behind me. Fear came over me and I hurried on. My house was just around the corner. I decided to run. To my surprise, the person following me began to run too. I looked behind me and saw a dark figure catching up with me. Suddenly, I ran into a dustbin by the road and fell over.

I felt a hand catch hold of my arm and I screamed loudly in fear. The hand let go of my arm and I pushed myself off the ground quickly, getting ready to run again. It was at that moment that I found myself looking at a young lady dressed in a dark sports suit. It looked like she had been scared by my reaction.

The next moment, there was a lot of footsteps coming from the dark and I could hear someone calling my name. To my surprise, a few seconds later my parents appeared together with a few people who were my neighbors.

10 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

As he lay awake that night, Tony could hear his parents discussing his sister Alice’s birthday. It was just two days away. Birthdays were always a lot of fun, even though there was no money for store-bought gifts. Nearly all of toys he and his sister had were homemade. There was nothing wrong with that, he knew. Like many families in this part, they were poor.

This birthday would be different, though. Alice was older now, and he’d seen how her eyes lit up when she saw the new doll at Honey House, a neighborhood store just down the road from their house.

How he longed for her to have it! An idea finally came to him just before he went to bed. After a quick breakfast the following morning, he tied a bag to the handlebars of his bike and headed toward a village hill.

After a long journey, he reached his destination, the mango forest. There were already two other boys there. Tony grabbed his bag and set to work immediately.

The sun was high overhead. The weather was hot and nearly all of the taller trees held ripe mangoes but they were well beyond reach. Tony struggled to climb the trees to pick mangoes, though he fell off many times.

His efforts were sometimes rewarded when a mango dropped into the bag. After a while his neck ached from looking upward, and his arms grew sore. He kept at it, though, and by late afternoon his bag was nearly full.
