Helen Keller was a very clever and beautiful girl. At six months old she could already say a few words. But before she was two years old, she was badly ill. She could not see or hear. Soon, she could not even talk, and then Helen had to fight for what she wanted.

When she was six, her parents invited a teacher for her. With the help of the teacher, she began to see and hear the world around her through her hands. She learned to read the books for the blind(盲人). The teacher took Helen for long walks, and told her about all the beautiful sights.

    With prices and building costs rising, the DIY trend in the US continues to grow.

“We needed furniture for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are trying to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.

Jim Hatfeld has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoemaking factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $420. That is a large sum. “I was upset about it. But later, I finished a car repair course; Now, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”

John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money, so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.

38．From the text we know that many newly married people ________.

A．always go to a department store to buy things

B．find it very difficult to pay for their living room

C．have enough money for their own furniture of the house

D．learn to make their own furniture by taking DIY courses

39．John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to ________.

A．repair the car all by themselves B．have a new lifestyle in the family

C．make enough money to buy a house D．make or repair things by themselves

40．What does the underlined word “upset” most probably mean?

A．crazy B．worried C．excited D．happy

41．Which of the following is TRUE according to this passage?

A．DIY is becoming more and more popular because of the raising living cost.

B．People who take DIY Courses must be quite different from the others in life.

C．If you want to become a “do-it-yourselfer”, you can only go to DIY classes.

D．Most families in the country are doing DIY because they enjoy the lifestyle.

    When we talk about the UK, there will be many images in mind: the Ferris wheel, Big Ben, red telephone boxes and black London taxis. The taxi has an important role in London.

But what is so special about a simple taxi? First of all, the shape and style are very different from those taxis in other cities. It looks like a half-car and half-van. It has plenty of room in the back, which means it’s easy for disabled people to use.

The drivers have to pass a taxi driving test, and in London it is very difficult. As there are many tourists in London, drivers must know many roads well.

In the taxi, it is easy for the driver and the passenger to have a talk. Getting a taxi means you will share a public space with the driver. The image of a London taxi driver is one that is nice and talkative. Most times when I get into a taxi, I ask how the driver is. Then we usually talk about sports or new events.

42．The Ferris wheel, Big Ben, red telephone boxes and black taxis are ________ of the UK.

A．images B．events C．taxi drivers D．shape and style

43．Why is a London taxi easy for disabled people to use?

A．Because the taxi drivers can pass a test. B．Because there is plenty of room in the front.

C．Because there is plenty of room in the back. D．Because the taxi drivers are nice and talkative.

44．You can put the sentence “Besides the style of the car, taxi drivers have an important part in your travel!” at the beginning of ________.

A．Paragraph 1 B．Paragraph 2 C．Paragraph 3 D．Paragraph 4

45．What is the best title of the passage?

六、阅读填表

阅读下列短文，根据短文信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）

There is no better day than today to start being the best you. Before we get into that, let’s answer a question.

Why Should You Become a Better You?

If you are an amazing person right now. You have finished many great things. However, I feel that if we aren’t trying daily to be a better person, we begin to feel comfortable. In order to grow and develop ourselves in our daily lives, we should take on challenges to be better. Since the question is out of the way, here are four useful steps.

1. Wake up before sunrise.

This may be hard for you, but this can be one of the best ways for you before everything turns into a mess. The happier you start your day, the brighter the rest of the day will be.

2. Be helpful to others.

Try to ask others if there is anything that you can do to make their day better. This action usually leads to making other people’s life better.

3. Get outside and be active.

Today, I just want to share this action step so that you can keep yourself away from the Internet world. Experience life in the form of nature. Do this for 30 minutes and your mind will be clearer and more alive than when you started.

4. Write down your goals for the next week.

Don’t look so far ahead. By writing down your goals for one week, you will be more fit for taking action today. Keep it simple and you will achieve great things that will brighten your days to come.

I hope they are really good for you and help realize your dream if you take action right now.

七、短文首字母填空

My Favourite Club

I’m Daniel in Class One, Grade Eight. There are many interesting clubs in our school. Among them, I like Geography Club best, so I am a member of the Geography Club. I go to the Geography Club after school every Friday afternoon. In the club, we can introduce some places of interest in China, such as the Palace Museum. We make DIY road signs to guide tourists. We also introduce the rare animals in China, such as pandas from Sichuan.

From it, we can learn more about different cities and countries. And we can know different cultures. If you want to know more about the world, I advise you to take part in this club.
