Whenever we hear about “the homeless,”, most of us think of the Developing world.
But the
36
is that homelessness is everywhere. For example, how many of us would expect
to see people living on the streets of a
37
country like Germany?
Kurt Muller and his wife Rita have spent eleven years making
38
for the homeless
of Berlin, Germany’s capital. They first
39
one long hot summer when most Germans
were
40
on holiday. Kurt and his wife stayed at home, made sandwiches,
41
a table
in the street and gave food to the homeless.
The Mullers soon realized that food and clothing weren’t
42
. “What these
people also need is warmth and
43
,” says Rita. The Mullers didn’t
44
to give their
phone number to the street people and told them to phone anytime. Rita
45
there was
somebody at home to answer the phone and their home was always
46
to anyone who
couldn’t face another night on the street.
The couple were soon
47
all their time and money, so Kurt visited food and clothing
companies to
48
donations. Today, over thirty companies
49
donate food and other
goods to the cause and volunteers help
to
50
them to the homeless. The public also
give clothes and money and a shoe producer
51
new shoes.
Kurt and Rita receive no
52
for their hard work. “ We feel like parents,” says
Rita, “and parents shouldn’t
53
money for helping their children. The love we get
on the streets is our salary.” Though Rita admits she often gets
54
. She says she
will continue with her work because she likes the feeling of having made a
55
in the
world.

第三部分:阅读理解(共 20 小题;每小题 2 分,满分 40 分)
阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将
该项涂黑。
A
The Pacific island nation of Nauru used to be a beautiful place. Now it is an ecological
disaster area. Nauru’s heartbreaking story could have one good consequence — other
countries might learn from its mistakes.
For thousands of years, Polynesian people lived the remote island of Nauru, far from
western civilization. The first European to arrive was John Fearn in 1798. He was the
British captain of the Hunter, a whaling ship. He called the island Pleasant Island.
However, because it was very remote, Nauru had little communication with Europeans
at first. The whaling ships and other traders began to visit, bringing guns and alcohol.
These elements destroyed the social balance of the twelve family groups on the island.
A ten-year civil war started, which reduced the population from 1,400 to 900.
Nauru’s real troubles began in 1899 when a British mining company discovered
phosphate (磷酸盐)on the island. In fact, it found that the island of Nauru was nearly
all phosphate, which a very important fertilizer for farming. The company began mining
the phosphate.
A phosphate mine is not a hole in the ground; it is a strip mine. When a company
strip-mines, it removes the top layer of soil. Then it takes away the material it wants.
Strip mining totally destroys the land. Gradually, the lovely island of Nauru started
to look like the moon.
In 1968, Nauru became one of the richest countries in the world. Every year the
government received millions and millions of dollars for its phosphate.
Unfortunately, the leaders invested the money unwisely and lost millions of dollars.
In addition, they used millions more dollars for personal expenses. Soon people realized
that they had a terrible problem — their phosphate was running out. Ninety percent of
their island was destroyed and they had nothing. By 2000, Nauru was financially ruined.
Experts say that it would take approximately $433,600,000 and more than 20 years to repair
the island. This will probably never happen.
56. What might be the author’s purpose in writing the text?
A. To seek help for Nauru’s problems.
B. To give a warning to other countries
C. To show the importance of money
D. To tell a heartbreaking story of a war.
57. What was Nauru like before the Europeans came?
A. Rich and powerful
B. Modern and open
C. Peaceful and attractive
D. Greedy and aggressive
58. The ecological disaster in Nauru resulted from _______.
A. soil pollution
B. phosphate overmining
C. farming activity
D. whale hunting
59. Which of the following was a cause of Nauru’s financial problem?
A. Its leaders misused the money
B. It spent too much repairing the
island
C. Its phosphate mining cost much money
D. It lost millions of dollars in the
civil war.
60. What can we learn about Nauru from the last paragraph?
A. The ecological damage is difficult to repair.
B. The leaders will take the experts’ words seriously.
C. The island was abandoned by the Nauruans
D. The phosphate mines were destroyed
B
One of the greatest contributions to the first Oxford English Dictionary was also
one of its most unusual. In 1879, Oxford University in England asked Prof. James Murray
to serve as editor for what was to be the most ambitious dictionary in the history of
the English language. It would include every English word possible and would give not
only the definition but also the history of the word and quotations (引文)showing how
it was used.
This was a huge task. So Murrary had to find volunteers from Britain, the United States,
and the British colonies to search every newspaper, magazine, and book ever written in
English. Hundreds of volunteers responded, including William Chester Minor. Dr. Minor
was an American Surgeon who had served in the Civil War and was now living in England.
He gave his address as “Broadmoor, Crowthorne, Berkshire,”” 50 miles from Oxford.
Minor joined the army of volunteers sending words and quotations to Murray. Over the
next years, he became one of the staff’s most valued contributors.
But he was also a mystery. In spite of many invitations, he would always decline to
visit Oxford. So in 1897, Murray finally decided to travel to Crowthorne himself. When
he arrived, he found Minor locked in a book-lined cell at the Broadmoor Asylum for the
Criminally insane.
Murray and Minor became friends, sharing their love of words. Minor continued
contributing to the dictionary, sending in more than 10,000 submissions in 20 years.
Murray continued to visit Minor regularly, sometimes taking walks with him around the
asylum grounds.
In 1910, Minor left Broadmoor for an asylum in his native America. Murray was at the
