Reading comprehension. (阅读理解) (共 50分) A Choose the best answer. (根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案) Accidents are the commonest cause of death among children. One in every six children goes to hospital because of an accident.ScaldsSmall children don’t understand that hot water and hot drinks can be dangerous. A cup of hot tea or coffee or a bath may scald a child badly. A severe scald can mean a long stay in hospital, and a really severe scald can kill.FallsChildren of all ages fall and hurt themselves from time to time. Luckily, most falls aren’t serious, but some can cause severe injuries, such as head injuries.For babies, the danger is rolling off the edge of something like a bed, chair, table or kitchen worktop.Toddlers (蹒跚行走的幼儿) soon learn to climb and explore. To them, climbing on furniture doesn’t seem dangerous. It’s just fun. But it’s very easy for a toddler to fall off a piece of furniture, or down the stairs, or even out of a window or off a balcony.With older children, adventure accidents are a problem. Climbing trees, high walls, or fences can be dangerous.BurnsEvery year children die in house fires and many more are badly burnt. A cigarette, for example, can easily start a fire. And many fires are started by children playing with fireworks.But of course it’s not only fires that cause burns. There are things in every home that can burn a child badly — a hot iron for example, or an electric fire.DrowningChildren love playing with water. Whether it’s in the bath at bed time or in the garden pond or in the sea, water is fun. But it is also dangerous. A baby or toddler can drown in very shallow (浅的) water — less than you put in the bath. ________ 39. How many kinds of accidents are mentioned in the passage?A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Five.40.

(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。) Winston Churchill once said, “We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give.” I completely agree with him.I have v____51____ at the Boston Children’s Hospital every year since I was 13. At the beginning, I went there because I could get credit (学分) for something as simple as entertaining children at the hospital. After giving my time from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. for two months, my o____52____ changed.When I first stepped into the well-furnished waiting room on the ground floor, I was not sure whether I would spend my entire summer with kids h____53____ and harmoniously (融洽地). As it became routine (常规的) for me to come every day at 8 a.m., many kids began e____54____ me. To my surprise, I began looking forward to seeing their bright faces as well. Kids were curious. My heart warmed when I heard their eager v____55____ asking me for a story or for an answer to a question. I felt valued.As I look back, I see the i____56____ these special children have had on me. It is because of them that I developed my desire to become a psychologist (心理学家). I realize that it is much more i____57____ to love and be loved.DAnswer the questions. (根据短文内容回答问题) Remember to Say Thank YouI’m here to talk to you about the importance of praise, admiration and thank you, and let them be specific (具体的) and genuine (真诚的).And the way I got interested in this was, I noticed in myself, when I was growing up, and until about a few years ago, that I would want to say thank you to someone, I would want to praise them, I would want to take in their praise of me and I’d just stop it. And I asked myself, why? I felt shy. I felt embarrassed. And then my question became, am I the only one who does this? So, I decided to make a survey.I’m fortunate enough to work in a hospital, so I can see people who are facing life and death. One man’s biggest wound is his father died without ever saying he was proud of him. But then, he heard from all the family and friends that the father told everybody else that he was proud of his son, but he never told the son. It’s because he didn’t know that his son needed to hear it.So, my question is, why don’t we ask for the things that we need? I know a gentleman called Tony, married for 25 years, who would like to hear his wife say, “Thank you for being the breadwinner so I can stay home with the kids,” but doesn’t ask. We’d like to win praise but it really has to be specific and genuine. I know a woman. She’s good at this. She, once a week, meets with her husband and says, “I’d really like you to thank me for all these things I did in the house and with the kids.” And he goes, “Oh, this is great, this is great” But does his praise really work?And a friend of mine, April, who I’ve had since kindergarten, thanks her children for doing some cleaning. And she said, “Why wouldn’t I thank it, even though they’re supposed to do it?” By the way, will the children be pleased with their mother’s thanks?So, be honest about the praise that you need to hear. What do you need to hear? Go home to your family member—go and ask him/her, what does he/she need? And then help the people around you.Thank you for being here, just showing up and changing the world with your ideas.58. Why did the speaker stop accepting praise from others?_____________________________________________________________________________________________59. To know if other people have the same problem, what did the speaker do?_____________________________________________________________________________________________60. According to the third paragraph, the father was proud of his son, wasn’t he?_____________________________________________________________________________________________61. What is Tony’s problem?_____________________________________________________________________________________________62. Read the underlined sentence. What do you think of the man’s praise?_____________________________________________________________________________________________63. Some people feel there is no need to say thank you. Do you agree with them? Why? (Give two reasons.)_____________________________________________________________________________________________VII. Writing (作文) (共20分)64.
