Steady 26 of tourists were walking past her. A young backpacker stood away from the crowd, 27 drinking in the vistas（景观、景色）, but I noticed the young traveler was also 28 the old woman.

A tourist group walked along the street, 29 the woman and walked on. 30 group of tourists arrived and walked past the old lady.

As I 35 , the leader of the group stopped and put some money in the cup. Having been shown the way, other tourists followed suit and 36 some more coins to the cup.

His work done, the young man walked over to the old beggar-woman, patted her on the shoulder and said, “I hope that 37 a little.”

I don’t know if the woman understood his English or 38 what had just happened, but I did.

第二部分 阅读理解（共2节，满分50分）

第一节：阅读下列材料，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。

A

My six-year-old came home from school this week with two envelopes. One was for a donation to help people in the Philippines. The other was to help hungry families have a Thanksgiving meal.

“I’ll put a check in each of these. Then you can add your own money from your piggy bank, okay?” I said, thinking he’d be so excited to put his own stamp on things.

“That’s okay, mom. You put money in. I don’t want to waste mine,” he sweetly sang as he colored. “I want to fill my bank all the way up.”

Ack! I guess I know what our dinnertime discussion will be about tonight, I thought.

I had figured that through watching his parents donate items, helping us take toys from time to time to needy kids and putting money in the basket at church, he would just understand why it was important to help people in need — and even want to do it himself.

But of course he doesn’t really understand yet. “There’s a big disconnect between the people ‘over there’ and my piggy bank,” said parenting educator Vicki Hoefle.

“There’s nothing wrong with the child. There’s just no connection.”

As for having that conversation immediately, or forcing my son to put money into the envelopes: “Try not to do it now,” Hoefle said. Teaching a child about donating their own money or toys or time to people in need “should be a gentle introduction into what we hope will be a way of life for our kids.”

She suggested these things to help children understand the importance of giving:

* Just talk about it. Then explore the issue from a perspective he can understand.

* Use the course of a year to introduce kids to opportunities. That way, they won’t be shocked when you ask them to stuff their own money into an envelope （like this writer just did）.

* Pick a family charity for the year and have a conversation about how you all can help throughout the year.

* Think of this not as something you must teach, but as something to expose them to.

At her house, Hoefle said, “When you got something new, you gave something up.” Each birthday, her children would pick what toys they had outgrown and give them away. “There was a comfort in it. It just became a natural part of the kids’ lives.”

So I will fill those envelopes alone this time. But I’ll make sure he understands why they should be filled—gradually.

41. When the writer asked her son to give money to help the poor, he __________.

A. declined to donate

B. sang a sweet song

C. put all his money in a bank

D. seemed very surprised

42. Hoefle’s attitude towards children’s unwillingness to donate money can be best described as “___________”.

A. critical B. tolerant C. positive D. worried

43. Which of the following is Hoefle’s approach to educating kids about charity?

A. Giving courses about charity.

B. Setting a rule for children to give.

C. Inviting a lot of poor people home.

D. Giving children enough real life chances.

44. What can we learn about the writer from the passage?

A. She often makes donations for people in need.

B. She taught her son a lesson over dinner that evening.

C. She is at a loss as for what she should do next.

D. She invited a parenting educator home for advice.

45. What is the best title of the passage?

A. Kids, please help those in need.

B. Why are kids unwilling to donate?

C. Kindness is lost in the young generation.

D. How can we help kids learn generosity?

B

Can software bring dead tongues back to life? Probably yes.

A computer algorithm（计算程序）works almost as well as a trained linguist（语言学家） in reconstructing how dead "protolanguages" would have sounded, says a new study.

"Our computer system is doing a basic job righ
