2017年浙江省湖州市七校联考中考英语模拟试题

阅读下面材料,然后从各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳选项。

    It was a rainy night in New Orleans, US. At a bus station, I watched a young girl cry as her baggage(行李) was taken down. It seemed she'd lost her ticket. She begged the bus driver not to leave her behind.

     “Losing your ticket is like losing your money,” the bus driver said, and left her in the rain.

But then an old man stood up and blocked the driver's way. “How can you leave that girl out there? You know she had a ticket. You can't just leave her here. You can't leave her in a city where she doesn't have a friend. You will meet your schedule, but she might meet her end.”

      The driver showed no sign that he'd heard or even cared about the young girl's problem, or how her travels went.

    So the old gentleman said, “I'll pay for her fare. I'll give her a little money to help her on her way.”

    He went and bought the ticket for the girl. “How can I repay the kindness you've shown tonight?” She asked. “We're strangers who won't meet again. A mere 'thank you' doesn't seem right.”

    The old man said, "What goes around comes around. I've learned this with time. Whatever you give, you always get back. Always be helpful to others and give what you can spare.”

(1)、Why was the girl's baggage taken down from the bus?   

A、Because she needed to go to the hospital. B、Because she wanted to leave for another city. C、Because the bus driver wanted to drop her. D、Because it was hard to carry heavy baggage on a rainy day.
(2)、What does the underlined part “meet her end” probably mean in the third paragraph?

A、End her life B、End her travel. C、Get to her home. D、Get to her final station
(3)、What is the correct order according to the story?

   a. The old gentleman argued with the driver about his rude behavior.

   b. The girl thanked the old gentleman for his kindness to her.

   c. The old gentleman bought a ticket with his money for the girl.

   d. The girl begged the driver not to leave her behind.

   e. The driver showed no sign to the old gentleman or the girl.

A、a—b—c—d—e B、a—c—b—d—e C、d—e—a—c—b D、d—a—e—c—b
(4)、What can be learned from the gentleman's words in the last paragraph?  

A、Do well and have well. B、Better late than never. C、Take the world as it is. D、Barking dogs never bite.
举一反三

The English Language Assistants program(英语语言助理课程)is very famous in the UK. Every year,it sends many language teachers to support the teaching of English in other places around the world. I took part in the program last year and spent six months in a small town called Privas(普里瓦)in France. 

The small town lies in the southeast of France. It is a beautiful place. And it's famous for its chestnuts(栗子). Lots of chestnuts are produced there every year. There is even a festival about chestnuts. People from Privas have a strong sense of belonging. On weekends,young people who live a busy life in nearby cities often come back to Privas to get together with their family. 

The quiet environment and comfortable lifestyle(生活方式)made me fall in love with Privas. The school where I taught was a great place to learn about French culture. I learned some special French customs there. 

People greet each other by kissing on the cheek(脸颊). The number of kisses depends on where you are in France. On my first night in Privas,I stayed with a host family. They told me that in most places in France,people give two. In the north of France,they give four kisses. And in Privas,the custom is to give three. This made me sometimes wonder which cheek to kiss first. Since I had long hair,when a person was kissing me,some of my hair would end up in his or her mouth. That was really funny and awkward(令人尴尬的). But people there were pleased that I was getting used to the local culture. 

Six months of staying there made me feel like part of the town. It was an unforgettable experience and I can't wait to return there some day.
