Last weekend I went to the Summer Palace as usually. At about noon, I was enjoying my reading near a lake while suddenly I hear someone crying for help. I went to see that was happening. I was shocking to find a little child struggling in the water in the distance while many people were standing by without doing anything. Without any hesitation, I had pushed through the crowd as I took off my coat, but jumped into the water quickly. I managed to reach him and carried him back to safety. To his great relief, the kid was saved.  
I was proud what I had done. I hope everyone can give a hand when someone else in need.

三、 阅读理解
21. Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt when he found himself on Chinese soil, seeing a way of life quite different from anything he’d seen before.
And how marvelous must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central Asia and West Asia? His brain must have been packed with everything he’d seen and heard, leading to the founding of the Silk Road.
Some people have traveled all over the world, and travel is a way of life to them. They perhaps know what to expect before they travel. That’s why the best travel is when it’s for the first time. Imagine a person who has always wanted to travel to the United States. Of course, they’ve probably seen the Statue of Liberty a thousand times on TV, and the White House, and all the other famous sights. But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.
Although travel is often just for recreation, it’s also educational. We may not know that we are getting an education, but we still are.
We’re learning every day: new words in a new language, new people, and new ways of life. But this learning takes place in the school of the world, not the classroom. One of the lessons we learn is undoubtedly a moral one. As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live, and that the way we live isn’t necessarily the best way. The British politician Benjamin Disraeli summed this up well when he said, “Travel teaches toleration.”
4. The author uses Marco Polo and Zhang Qian as examples to       .
A. explain how the Silk Road was founded
B. present travel as an amazing experience
C. show how the way people travel has changed
D. describe important cultural exchanges in history
5. By saying “the best travel is when it’s for the first time”, the author means that       .
A. one’s first trip is usually the most challenging
B. no other trip is better than one’s first trip
C. there is always much to learn on one’s first trip
D. people usually make better preparations for their first trip
6. The underlined word in paragraph 4 probably means       .
A. learning    B. knowledge
C. fun    D. risk
7. According to the last two paragraphs, the author believes that       .
A. traveling should be included in formal education
B. traveling improves people’s confidence in their lifestyle
C. a foreign journey may raise people’s cultural understanding
D. there is more to learn from adventures than being in classroom
参考答案：
4. B    5. B    6. C    7. C
文章主要介绍了旅游的好处。
4. 推理判断题。根据文章第一句Travel is one of the most exciting experiences a human being can have. 以及第二句Imagine how Italian traveler Marco Polo must have felt， 第二段And how marvelous must it have been to listen to Zhang Qian when he returned to China from his journey through Central可知举的这两个例子是为了表明旅游是令人惊讶的经历。
5. 句义理解题。根据文章第三段举的例子以及But none of that would compare to the thrill of looking out of the cabin window as the plane lands, watching the cities and streets of the real America come into view.可知作者的意思是没有旅行能够比得上第一次旅行。
6. 词义猜测题。根据文章第四段Although travel is often just for recreation, it’s also educational.可知划线的词是说旅游除了有教育意义外，还很有趣。
7. 推理判断题。根据文章最后一段As we get to know foreign places, we come to understand that there are many different ways to live,可知作者认为国外旅游可以让我们了解不同的文化。，
22.      In 1951，a British explorer named Eric Shipton looking for an alternative route up Mt. Everest found a footprint that appeared to be human-like. He took a picture，and the  mystery Daniel(神秘)the Yeti—a Sherpa word for “wild man”一cast a spell over the world. Danile Taylor, author of Yeti：The Ecology of a Mystery, has been searching for signs of this "Abominable Snowman" in the high Himalayas since he was a child.
     Talking from his home in West Virginia, Taylor explains what he thinks made that human-like footprint, how his search eventually led to the creation of a national park，and why, in an age where we have become disconnected from nature, we have a deep need to believe in  mysteries.
     The key evidence for the existence of the Yeti was the photo of a footprint taken by British  explorer Eric Shipton in 1951.
    The photograph was taken on the Menlung Glacier, west of Mount Everest, on the Nepal- Tibet border. Shipton and Michael Ward were searching for an alternative Everest route when they came across the prints. Shipton was one of the most highly respected Everest explorers, so if he is bringing back a print, it is a real print. Nobody ever questioned that. But what is it?
human，a King Kong type We expect them to give us
    What was attractive about the prints was that they're really sharp. The snow was hard so the photo looks like a sort of plaster(石膏）.The second feature was that the prints looked like a human footprint, but with a thumb. So, you get this primate-like feeling but human-like at the same time. Its enormous size—13 inches—also suggests a large of image!
     Many expeditions(探险队〉were sent out in search of the Yeti, a brief timeline.
28.Why did Eric Shipton go to Mt. Everest?
A.To explore it. B.To take photos. C.To look for the Yeti . D. To work as a guide.
29. What can we know about Daniel Taylor?
A. He took a photo of the human-like footprint.
B. He is devoted to the exploration of Mt. Everest.
C. He has lost confidence in the search for the Yeti.
D. He thinks people should have belief in mysteries.
30. Which word can be used to describe the Yeti according to the text?
A.Sharp. B. Creative. C. Huge. D. Fierce.
31. What is the author’s attitude toward the search for the Yeti?
A. He thinks nothing.                 B. He thinks it is a waste of time.
C. He is eager to know the result. D.He doubts the effort of explorers.
