When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure (確保)that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. The way to achieve this may not be simple. It is very difficult for a nation to give help directly to people in another nation. The United Nations Organization (UNO) could undertake to direct the distribution of aid. Here however rises the problem of costs. Also tied with this is time. Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.
More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster; it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. A common proverb says, “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.” If we follow this wise saying, it would be right to teach people from less developed nations to take care of themselves. For example, a country could share its technology with another. This could be in simple areas like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites. Even small country is able to help less developed nations. Sometimes what is take for granted, like the setting up of a water purification plant or the administration of a school, could be useful for countries which are looking about to solve common problems. It does not cost much to share such simple things. Exchange students could be attached for a number of months or years and learn the required craft while on the site. They can then take their knowledge back to their homelands and if necessary come back form time to time to clear doubts or to update themselves. Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.
Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills. It will not cost much to include deserving foreigners in these courses. Besides giving effective help to the countries concerned, there is also the build-up of friendships to consider. Giving direct help by giving materials may be effective in the short run and must continue to be given in the event of emergencies. However, in the long run what is really effective would be the sharing of knowledge.
1.According to the author, how could international aid reach the victims in time?
A． By solving the cost problems
B． By solving the transportation problems
C． By setting up a body of devoted people in every country.
D． By relying on the direct distribution of the UNO.
2.What does the author try to express in the underlined sentence?
A．Providing food is vital B．Learning to fish is helpful
C．Teaching skills is essential D．Looking after others is important.
3.The second paragraph is developed mainly _________.
A．by example B．by process C．by comparison D．by contrast
4.Which aid is likely to fall into the wrong hands?
A．A medical team. B．An exchange program.
C．A water plant. D．Financial support.
5.What can we infer about international aid from the passage?
A．It is facing difficulties
B．It is unnecessary during normal times

【解析】
【文章大意】災(zāi)難在全球是不可避免的。國際援助雪中送炭。然而援助要落到實(shí)處，著實(shí)要有些高效的措施。災(zāi)難區(qū)要直接受惠于援助，聯(lián)合國為此做出了努力。比如，建立一個正直無私心救援物質(zhì)的管理團(tuán)隊(duì)。當(dāng)然，本文作者認(rèn)為高效的援助不在于物質(zhì)，而是平日里技術(shù)知識的共享——打造堅(jiān)強(qiáng)友誼，互派國際交換生！
1.細(xì)節(jié)理解題 從文章第一段最后一句Perhaps the UNO could set up a body of devoted men and women in every country who can speedily distribute aid to victims of floods and earthquakes.可以得知，救援物質(zhì)要快速地分配到災(zāi)區(qū)，聯(lián)合國可以在各國組建一支特別團(tuán)隊(duì)，專門實(shí)施這項(xiàng)工作。
2.語意理解題 “Give me a fish and I eat for day, teach me to fish and I eat for a lifetime.”相當(dāng)于漢語諺語“授人以魚不如授人以漁。”，強(qiáng)調(diào)的是“漁”（技術(shù)）。后文舉例可以得到印證：“For example, a country could share its technology with another.”（一個國家可以與另一國共享技術(shù)資源）“…like agriculture or in more complex areas like medical and health care or even in building satellites.”（比如農(nóng)業(yè)，或像醫(yī)療衛(wèi)生保健甚至衛(wèi)星的制造等復(fù)雜領(lǐng)域。）等。
3.段落結(jié)構(gòu)題第二段段首句More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times. 和段尾句Such aid will be truly helpful and there is no chance of it being temporary or of it falling into the wrong hands.闡述中心：加強(qiáng)平日技術(shù)知識交流。段中的多次使用for example，like等詞語。所以主要使用例證法來展開論述。
4.語意推斷題 救援災(zāi)區(qū)的主要是各地的捐款和物質(zhì)，如果falls into the wrong hands，那可能造成救援錢物被貪污或挪作他用。D選項(xiàng)符合此意。
5.大意理解題 文章首段首句提出問題：When international aid is given, steps must be taken to ensure that the aid reaches the people for whom it is intended. 第二段首句More than the help that one nation can give to another during a disaster, it would be more effective to give other forms of help during normal times.以及第三段首句Many countries run extensive courses in all sorts of skills.分別闡述解決international aid尷尬的有效辦法。

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother’s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks,
And at restaurants did not take her seriously ,did not give her good service ,pretended not to
Understand her ,or even acted as if they did not hear her .

I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票經(jīng)紀(jì)人).I said in an adolescent voice that was not very convincing, “This is Mrs.Tan..”
And my mother was standing beside me ,whispering loudly, “Why he don’t send me cheek already two week lone.”
And then , in perfect English I said : “I’m getting rather concerned .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn’t arrived.”
Then she talked more loudly. “What he want? I come to New York tell him front of his boss.” And so I turned to the stockbroker again, “I can’t tolerate any more excuse. If I don’t receive the check immediately , I am going to have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.”
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.
When I was a teenager, my mother’s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother’s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is vivid, direct, and full of observation and wisdom. It was the language that helped shape the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world.

We can all contribute to a greener world．Just follow these ten golden rules:
●Stop getting junk mail．Billions of junk mail can be sent every year．Half of it is never opened．Get-your name off mailing lists．If 100,000 people stopped getting junk mail today, it would save 150,000 trees a year．
●Stop reading newspapers．All over the world, millions of newspapers are thrown away every day, 44 million newspapers in the USA alone —that's half a million trees a week．Either recycle your newspapers or read the hews online．
●Buy clothes made from organic materials．Conventional cotton farming seriously pollutes the environment, most of which uses ch
emical pesticides （農(nóng)藥） and fertilizers． Organic is better!
●Switch to solar energy．In one day, the sun will provide enough energy to power the planet．Why aren't we using it?
●If you have to drive, share the ride．Most cars in the USA have only one occupant．Also, 25 percent of car rides are less than 1．5 kilometres．Get out and walk!
●Unplug your PC, TV and VCR．Simply turning them off isn't enough．Sets left on standby are still using 25 percent of their power．
●Hold on to your balloons．Helium-filled balloons which fly away usually end up in a lake or river, where they can choke aquatic (水生的) creatures．Sav
e your balloons and use them again．Or better still, don't use them at all．
●Feed the birds．Wild birds need food, especially in v/inter when other sources can be scarce．The greater the range of foodstuffs you put out for them, the more types of birds you will attract．
●Plant a garden at your school．Learn the connection between the land and the table．Plant vegetables to eat, flowers to admire and trees to improve the air．
【小題1】.

We were a very motley (混雜的) crowd of people who took the bus every day many years ago. During the early morning ride from the suburb, we sat drowsily (昏昏欲睡地) with our collars up to our ears.
A small grey man took the bus to the center for senior citizens every morning. No one ever paid very much attention to him. Then one July morning he said good morning to the driver before he sat down. The driver nodded guardedly. The rest of us were silent.
The next day, the old man boarded the bus energetically, smiled and said in a loud voice: "And a very good morning to you all!" Some of us looked up, amazed, and murmured "Good morning!" in reply.
The following weeks we were more surprised. Our friend was now dressed in a nice old suit and a wide out-of-date tie. He said good morning to us every day and we gradually began to nod and talk to each other.
One morning he had a bunch of wild flowers in his hand. The driver turned around smilingly and asked: "Have you got yourself a girlfriend, Charlie?" The man nodded shyly and said yes. Every morning after that Charlie always brought a flower.
The summer went by when one morning Charlie wasn't waiting at his usual stop. When he wasn't there the new day and the day after that, we started wondering if he was sick or – hopefully – on holiday somewhere, Later we were told one of his very close friends had died at the weekend. How silent we were the rest of the way to work. The next Monday Charlie was waiting at the stop, a little bit more grey. Inside the bus was a silence similar to that in a church. Even though no one had talked about it, all those of us sat with our eyes filled with tears and a bunch of wild flowers in our hands.
【小題1】From the first paragraph we can inter that the passengers ____.
| A．had a cheerful trip every morning | B．didn't know each other |
| C．seldom talked to each other | D．talked and laughed on the way |
| A．Because he looked energetic. | B．Because he spoke in a loud voice. |
| C．Because he was holding some flowers. | D．Because they hardly greeted each other. |
| A．Concerned. | B．Pleased. | C．Surprised. | D．Disappointed. |
| A．the reach for his not taking the bus | B．the death of one of his very close friends |
| C．the reach for his looking more grey | D．the silence on the bus |
