A New Campaign to Stress the Benefits of a Balanced Diet
Look out for a new TV campaign, entitled “Eat Balanced”, which will highlight the continued benefits of eating meat and dairy (奶制的) products as part of a balanced diet.
Introduction
The campaign spearheaded by the Agriculture and Horticulture Development Board (AHDB) will appear on TV, social media and supermarket packaging and aims to highlight the nutritional benefits of enjoying red meat and dairy, while showing Britain’s world-class standards in food production and sustainability.
Basis
The campaign will be built on the following three key messages about meat and diary products:
●Meat and dairy products contain vitamin B12, an essential nutrient not naturally present in vegan diet;
●Red meat and dairy products from Britain are produced to world-class standards;
●Red meat and dairy products from Britain are among the most sustainable in the world.
The Aim
AHDB is conveying a message to consumers for a bright new year—enjoy the food you eat.
AHDB’s Chief Communications and Market Development Officer Christine Watts says, “In Britain, we have so much to be proud of when it comes to the food we eat, how it’s produced and the entire journey from farm to fork. Our farmers operate farms in the excellent way, so our food meets the international criterion. This campaign is aimed to balance the negative commentary around farming, as well as highlight the importance of eating meat and dairy products as part of a balanced and healthy diet.”
1. What is the new campaign based on
A. British eating habits. B. Corporate advertising.
C. Some supermarket regulations. D. Some important food information.
2 What message does Christine Watts convey
A. British food is up to standard. B. British food is short of supply.
C. British farmers are fond of meat. D. British farmers are hard-working.
3. What section of a magazine is the text most probably taken from
A. Society and economy. B. Health and diet.
C. Industry and production. D. Agriculture and farming.
B
As you walk around the UK in March, you might notice that some people are wearing a daffodil(水仙花) on their coats. The British wear these yellow flowers to show they support one of this country’s best-known charities: the Marie Curie Cancer Care.
The Marie Curie Cancer Care tries to ensure everyone diagnosed with cancer is cared for in the best possible way. It also helps fund research into possible cures through other organizations. Founded in 1948, it has been continuing with its goal ever since.
The charity was named after Marie Curie, a renowned scientist. She experimented with newly-discovered elements to create the theory of radioactivity. Unfortunately, over-exposure to the radioactive elements made her develop a disease and die in 1934. Marie Curie won the Nobel Prize in two different fields. Because of her pioneering work which led to chemotherapy (化学疗法), the charity shared the name of Marie Curie.
The daffodil is one of the first plants to flower during spring in the UK, which marks the return of flowering plants to the ecosystem after winter. Because of this, the charity uses the daffodil as a metaphor for bringing life to other people through charitable giving.
Everyone you see wearing a daffodil has donated money to the charity but each daffodil is worth only what you want to pay for it. The charity does ask that you stick to a minimum amount of 1.
The charity encourages people to start wearing their daffodils at the start of March, when the “Great Daffodil Appeal” kicks off. But that doesn’t mean you can only wear them in March. People are sometimes seen walking around with daffodils on their clothes all year round.
4. What does it mean when the British wear a daffodil on their coats
A. They support a charity. B. They are recovering from cancer.
C. They’ve been helped by a charity. D. They’ve been diagnosed with cancer.
5. What does the underlined word “renowned” in paragraph 3 mean
A. Beautiful. B. Modest. C. Famous. D. Humorous.
6. Why was the charity named after Marie Curie
A. Because patients required that. B. Because it was launched by her.
C. Because she greatly supported it. D. Because it could show respect for her.
7. What can we learn about the daffodil from the text
A. It can be used as medicine. B. It’s thought to stand for hope.
C. It’s widely worn worldwide. D. It’s sold to the wearers at a high price.
C
Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of food that is considered more healthy than the types of food sold in supermarkets. For example, whole grains, dried beans, and corn oil are health food. A narrower classification of health food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish between types of the same food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener, while refined sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but canned fruit, with sugars and other additives (添加剂), is not. The most exact term of all and the narrowest classification within health food is organic food, used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm. Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens, that are treated only with organic fertilizers, that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides (杀虫剂), and that are not refined after harvest, are organic food. Meat, fish, dairy and poultry products from animals that are fed only on organically-grown feed and that are not injected with hormones are organic food.
In choosing the type of food you eat, then, you have basically two choices: inorganic, processed food, or organic, unprocessed food. A wise decision should include study of the reason why processed food contains chemicals, some of which are proved to be poisonous and that vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed food.
Bread is typically used by health food supporters as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely harmful. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very deadly insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also poisonous. Next, a dough conditioner is added along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons, and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals. A very poisonous anti-fungal compound is added to keep the bread from getting moldy.
Other food from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving. You see, we buy our food on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want, even if it is poisonous. The alternative Eat health foods, preferably the organic variety.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A Poisons. B. The processing of bread.
C. Processed food. D. Health food.
9. What do all of the additives in bread have in common
A. They are all used to keep the bread from getting moldy.
B. They are all organic.
C. They are all poisonous.
D. They have all killed laboratory animals.
10. What happens to food when it is processed
A. The basic content remains the same.
B. Vitamin is not available after processing.
C. The vitamin content increases a bit.
D. The vitamin content is greatly reduced.
11. We normally buy food on the basis of________.
A. organic variety B. beauty
C. refined contents D. color and texture
D
An 18, 000-year-old human genome has been sequenced as a consequence of genetic research of ancient African skeletons, revealing information as to how the continent’s former people lived, migrated, and reproduced.
In general, DNA cannot survive in Africa’s heat and damp for lengthy periods of time, and researchers have never previously sequenced a sub-Saharan African human genome older than 9,000 years. The authors of this new study, on the other hand, regained genetic material from six people buried between 5, 000 and 18, 000 years ago.
They also looked at the records of 28 previously reported individuals found at burial sites around the continent, and these 34 people were from three unique source populations originating in northeastern, central, and southern Africa after studying their DNA. This means that the continent was originally inhabited by three distinct groups who must have lived in remote areas for long periods of time. The combination of these three branches, on the other hand, suggests that genetic information was exchanged between the three populations before 20, 000 years ago.
According to the authors of the study, this process began around 50, 000 years ago, because archaeological records suggest an increase in the movement of products over great distances around this time. People are thought to have started having offspring with partners from far-away places as trading networks grew across the continent.
However, the genomic data shows that this long-range DNA interchange began to decline some 20, 000 years ago, implying that humans began reproducing with their immediate neighbors at that time. According to the study’s authors, it may be due to the Last Glacial Maximum, when climate change may have limited people’s mobility and pushed them to become more sedentary.
In a statement, study author Jessica Thompson noted, “At first, people found their mates from a wide geographic pool. Further down the line, people valued partners who lived closer to them and were perhaps more culturally similar.” Co-author Elizabeth Sawchuk added, “Perhaps it was because previously established social networks allowed for the movement of information and technologies without requiring people to migrate.”
12. What is the challenge of the DNA study in Africa
A. Hot and wet climate. B. Limited technology.
C. Too many cultural exchanges. D. Complex human genomes.
13. What caused the genetic information exchange around 50, 000 years ago
A. Climate change. B. Archaeological records.
C. Trades with distant groups. D. Development in technology.
14. What is the meaning of the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 5
A. Stable. B. Diverse. C. Active. D. Reproductive.
15. What can we learn from the ancient social network according to the passage
A. Distant social exchange was booming 50, 000 years ago.
B. Long-ranged DNA interchange started to occur 20, 000 years ago.
C. Communication with people from similar cultures was always favored.
D. Migration declined when social networks for information became mature.

Tess was eight years old when she heard her mother and father talking about her little brother, Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly surgery could save him and it was looking like there was no one to loan them the money. She heard her father say to her tearful mother with whispered desperation, “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jar from its hiding place. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist(药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. It worked. “And what do you want ” the pharmacist said, “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages.” Tess replied, “My little brother, Andrew, has something bad growing inside his head and my father says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost ” “We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He came up and asked her, “What kind of miracle does your brother need ” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he is really sick and my mother says he needs an operation. But she can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.” The man from Chicago asked, “How much do you have ” “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.

Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of food that is considered more healthy than the types of food sold in supermarkets. For example, whole grains, dried beans, and corn oil are health food. A narrower classification of health food is natural food. This term is used to distinguish between types of the same food. Raw honey is a natural sweetener, while refined sugar is not. Fresh fruit is a natural food, but canned fruit, with sugars and other additives (添加剂), is not. The most exact term of all and the narrowest classification within health food is organic food, used to describe food that has been grown on a particular kind of farm. Fruits and vegetables that are grown in gardens, that are treated only with organic fertilizers, that are not sprayed with poisonous insecticides (杀虫剂), and that are not refined after harvest, are organic food. Meat, fish, dairy and poultry products from animals that are fed only on organically-grown feed and that are not injected with hormones are organic food.
In choosing the type of food you eat, then, you have basically two choices: inorganic, processed food, or organic, unprocessed food. A wise decision should include study of the reason why processed food contains chemicals, some of which are proved to be poisonous and that vitamin content is greatly reduced in processed food.
Bread is typically used by health food supporters as an example of a processed food. First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely harmful. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very deadly insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also poisonous. Next, a dough conditioner is added along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons, and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals. A very poisonous anti-fungal compound is added to keep the bread from getting moldy.
Other food from the supermarket would show a similar pattern of processing and preserving. You see, we buy our food on the basis of smell, color, and texture, instead of vitamin content, and manufacturers give us what we want, even if it is poisonous. The alternative Eat health foods, preferably the organic variety.
8. What is the passage mainly about
A. Poisons. B. The processing of bread.
C. Processed food. D. Health food.
9. What do all of the additives in bread have in common
A. They are all used to keep the bread from getting moldy.
B. They are all organic.
C. They are all poisonous.
D. They have all killed laboratory animals.
10. What happens to food when it is processed
A. The basic content remains the same.
B. Vitamin is not available after processing.
C. The vitamin content increases a bit.
D. The vitamin content is greatly reduced.
11. We normally buy food on the basis of________.
A. organic variety B. beauty
C. refined contents D. color and texture
【答案】8. D 9. C 10. D 11. D
【解析】

【8题详解】
主旨大意题。根据第一段“Health food is a general term applied to all kinds of food that is considered more healthy than the types of food sold in supermarkets. (健康食品是一个总称，适用于所有被认为比超市里出售的食品更健康的食品。)”及全文可知，作者从开头提出“绿色食品”的定义，到后来对其定义的具体说明以及人们日常生活中选择食品的对比，始终是围绕着“健康食品”展开的。故选D。
【9题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“First, the seeds from which the grain is grown are treated with a chemical which is extremely harmful. Later, the grain is sprayed with a number of very deadly insecticides. After the grain has been made into flour, it is made white with another chemical which is also poisonous. Next, a dough conditioner is added along with a softener. The conditioner and softener are poisons, and in fact, the softener has sickened and killed experimental animals. A very poisonous anti-fungal compound is added to keep the bread from getting moldy. (首先，种植谷物的种子用一种极其有害的化学物质处理过。之后，谷物被喷洒一些非常致命的杀虫剂。谷物被制成面粉后，用另一种有毒的化学物质把它变成白色。接下来，加入面团调理剂和柔软剂。护发素和柔顺剂是有毒的，事实上，柔顺剂已经使实验动物生病和死亡。为了防止面包发霉，还添加了一种剧毒的抗真菌化合物。)”可知，从种粮食开始直到最后添加防腐剂制成面包的过程中，所使用的各种添加物都是有毒的。故选C。
【10题详解】

An 18, 000-year-old human genome has been sequenced as a consequence of genetic research of ancient African skeletons, revealing information as to how the continent’s former people lived, migrated, and reproduced.
In general, DNA cannot survive in Africa’s heat and damp for lengthy periods of time, and researchers have never previously sequenced a sub-Saharan African human genome older than 9,000 years. The authors of this new study, on the other hand, regained genetic material from six people buried between 5, 000 and 18, 000 years ago.
They also looked at the records of 28 previously reported individuals found at burial sites around the continent, and these 34 people were from three unique source populations originating in northeastern, central, and southern Africa after studying their DNA. This means that the continent was originally inhabited by three distinct groups who must have lived in remote areas for long periods of time. The combination of these three branches, on the other hand, suggests that genetic information was exchanged between the three populations before 20, 000 years ago.
According to the authors of the study, this process began around 50, 000 years ago, because archaeological records suggest an increase in the movement of products over great distances around this time. People are thought to have started having offspring with partners from far-away places as trading networks grew across the continent.
However, the genomic data shows that this long-range DNA interchange began to decline some 20, 000 years ago, implying that humans began reproducing with their immediate neighbors at that time. According to the study’s authors, it may be due to the Last Glacial Maximum, when climate change may have limited people’s mobility and pushed them to become more sedentary.
In a statement, study author Jessica Thompson noted, “At first, people found their mates from a wide geographic pool. Further down the line, people valued partners who lived closer to them and were perhaps more culturally similar.” Co-author Elizabeth Sawchuk added, “Perhaps it was because previously established social networks allowed for the movement of information and technologies without requiring people to migrate.”
12. What is the challenge of the DNA study in Africa
A. Hot and wet climate. B. Limited technology.
C. Too many cultural exchanges. D. Complex human genomes.
13. What caused the genetic information exchange around 50, 000 years ago
A. Climate change. B. Archaeological records.
C. Trades with distant groups. D. Development in technology.
14. What is the meaning of the underlined word “sedentary” in Paragraph 5
A. Stable. B. Diverse. C. Active. D. Reproductive.
15. What can we learn from the ancient social network according to the passage
A. Distant social exchange was booming 50, 000 years ago.
B. Long-ranged DNA interchange started to occur 20, 000 years ago.
C. Communication with people from similar cultures was always favored.
D. Migration declined when social networks for information became mature.
【答案】12. A 13. C 14. A 15. D
【解析】
【导语】这是一篇说明文。文章主要说明了通过对古非洲骨骼的基因研究，18000年前的人类基因组被测序，揭示了非洲大陆上的先人如何生活、迁徙和繁殖的信息。文章介绍了研究开展的过程以及发现。
【12题详解】
细节理解题。根据第二段中“In general, DNA cannot survive in Africa’s heat and damp for lengthy periods of time, and researchers have never previously sequenced a sub-Saharan African human genome older than 9,000 years.(一般来说，DNA无法在非洲炎热潮湿的环境中长时间存活，研究人员此前从未对撒哈拉以南非洲地区超过9000年的人类基因组进行过测序)”可知，非洲DNA研究的挑战是炎热潮湿的气候。故选A。
【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第四段“According to the authors of the study, this process began around 50,000 years ago, because archaeological records suggest an increase in the movement of products over great distances around this time. People are thought to have started having offspring with partners from far-away places as trading networks grew across the continent.(根据这项研究的作者，这一过程大约开始于5万年前，因为考古记录表明，在这个时期，产品的远距离移动有所增加。据认为，随着贸易网络在整个非洲大陆的发展，人们开始与来自远方的伴侣生育后代)”可知，与遥远的团体交易导致了大约5万年前的基因信息交换。故选C。
【14题详解】
词句猜测题。根据划线词上文“According to the study’s authors, it may be due to the Last Glacial Maximum, when climate change may have limited people’s mobility and pushed them to become more(据该研究的作者称，这可能是由于末次冰期，当时气候变化可能限制了人们的流动性，并迫使他们变得更)”可知，当时气候变化可能限制了人们的流动性，迫使他们更稳定了。由此可知，划线词意思是“稳定的”。故选A。
【15题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“In a statement, study author Jessica Thompson noted, “At first, people found their mates from a wide geographic pool. Further down the line, people valued partners who lived closer to them and were perhaps more culturally similar.” Co-author Elizabeth Sawchuk added, “Perhaps it was because previously established social networks allowed for the movement of information and technologies without requiring people to migrate.(研究作者杰西卡·汤普森（Jessica Thompson）在一份声明中指出，“一开始，人们从广泛的地理范围内找到了伴侣。再往前走，人们看重的是住在他们附近的伴侣，或许在文化上更相似。”共同作者伊丽莎白·索楚克补充道，“也许是因为以前建立的社交网络在不需要人们迁移的前提下允许信息和技术的流动。”)”可知，当信息的社交网络发展更好的时候，人们流动减少，会在周围选择伴侣。D选项：当信息的社交网络变得成熟时，移民减少了。故选D。

【详解】考查非谓语动词。句意：这个士兵决心不顾一切代价保卫自己的国家不受任何外国侵略者的入侵。设空处在句中作非谓语，固定短语be determined to do sth“下定决心做某事”。故设空处应用动词不定式的形式。故填to defend。
45. It remains to be seen ________ my research paper will be well received. (用适当的词填空)
【答案】whether
【解析】
【详解】考查连词。句意：我的研究论文是否会受到欢迎还有待观察。结合语意可知，句子表示研究论文是否会受欢迎还有待观察，空处应用whether，表示“是否”，引导从句作真正的主语，句首的it作形式主语。故填whether。
第四部分 写作(共两节;满分42.5分)
第一节 句子考查(共10小题;56~62小题每空0.5分;63~65每小题3分, 满分17.5分)

46. ________ ________ (总的来说), living in the school dormitory is better than living outside the campus.(根据汉语提示补全句子)
【答案】 ①. In ##Generally ②. summary##conclusion##general##speaking
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：总的来说，住在学校宿舍是比住在校园外好的多。总的来说：in summary/in general/in conclusion/generally speaking，所以第一空格应填in/generally，放句首时首字母大写；第二个空应填summary/conclusion/general/speaking。故填①In/Generally ②summary/conclusion/general/speaking。
47. For this project, we need ________ ________ ________ (至少) three weeks to complete the research phase. (根据汉语提示补全句子)
【答案】 ①. at ②. a ③. minimum
【解析】
【详解】考查固定短语。句意：对于这个项目，我们至少需要三周的时间来完成研究阶段。at a minimum意为“至少”，为固定短语，做状语。故答案为①at ②a ③minimum。
48. The lifeguard is ________ ________ ________ (主管，负责) ensuring swimmer safety at the pool. (根据汉语提示补全句子)
【答案】 ①. in ②. charge ③. of
【解析】
【详解】考查介词短语。句意：这个救生员负责确保泳池里游泳者的安全。根据汉语提示，介词短语in charge of表示“主管、负责”，后可接动名词作宾语，介词短语在句中作表语，符合句子和句意。故空①填in；空②填charge；空③填of。
49. It’s essential to ________ ________ (参与，参加) regular exercise to maintain good physical health. (根据汉语提示补全句子)
【答案】 ①. engage##participate ②. in
【解析】
【详解】考查动词短语。句意：经常参加体育锻炼对保持身体健康是很重要的。根据句意及汉语提示，可知为engage/participate in。分析句子的结构，可知为“it +is +adj+to do sth”，空前为to，设空处应用动词原形的形式。故填①engage/participate ②in。
50. Given his experience and qualifications, it is likely that he will be promoted to a higher position within the company. (同义转换)
Given his experience and qualifications, he ________ ________ ________ be promoted to a higher position within the company.
【答案】 ①. is ②. likely ③. to
【解析】
【详解】考查句型转换。句意：鉴于他的经验和资格，他很可能被提升到公司更高的职位。it is likely that...有可能……，与短语be likely to含义一致。根据原句时态可知，用一般现在时。故填is likely to。
51. It was surprising that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks. (同义句改写)
_________made her_________was that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks.
【答案】 ①. What ②. surprised
【解析】
【详解】考查主语从句。句意：令人惊讶的是，仅仅几周后，她就发现自己可以在课堂上发言了。原句中it为形式主语，that引导主语从句，此处转换成“主语从句+系动词+表语从句”，主语从句使用“主语+ 谓语+宾语+宾语补足语”结构，从句缺少主语，用what引导，表示“人的感受”应用-ed结尾的形容词surprised作宾语补足语；整个句子的谓语动词为was； that she found herself speaking up in class after just a few weeks为表语从句。故填①What②surprised。
52. Some traditional Chinese dishes from before the Ming Dynasty are still popular today. (同义转换)
Some traditional Chinese dishes from ________ ________ the Ming Dynasty are still popular today.
【答案】 ①. prior ②. to
【解析】
【详解】考查固定搭配。句意：一些明朝以前的中国传统菜肴至今仍很受欢迎。分析句子，该空应填一个和介词before意思相近的短语进行同义转换，形容词prior和介词to搭配可表示“早于……的，在……之前的”符合语境。故填prior；to。
53. Because Hawking was determined, he was able to succeed even though he was ill. (强调划线部分)
【答案】It was because Hawking was determined that he was able to succeed even though he was ill.
【解析】
【详解】考查强调句。句意：因为霍金有决心，即使他生病了，他也能成功。强调句的结构为：it+is/was+强调成份+that/who+其他，其中强调人时，可以用who/that，强调物时，应用that；此处强调原因状语从句“Because Hawking was determined(因为霍金有决心)”，原句的时态为一般过去时，因此be动词使用was。故答案为It was because Hawking was determined that he was able to succeed even though he was ill。
54. Cars can be driven without human drivers. Jack is excited about the good news. (用同位语从句合并句子)
【答案】Jack is excited about the news that cars can be driven without human drivers.
【解析】
【详解】考查同位语从句。句意：杰克听到汽车可以在无人驾驶的情况下驾驶的消息感到很兴奋。原句中第二句话的news意为“消息”，后面可接同位语从句来补充说明“消息”的内容。所以把第一句话作为news的同位语从句。同位语从句中句意完整，不缺成分，所以用that引导。故答案为Jack is excited about the news that cars can be driven without human drivers.
55. 我们应该感恩父母所给予我们的。(用宾语从句翻译)
【答案】We should be grateful/thankful for what our parents give us. /We should appreciate what our parents give us./ We should thank our parents for what they give us.
【解析】
【详解】考查动词、名词和宾语从句。分析句子可知，这里时态应用一般现在时，表示“我们应该感恩父母所给予我们的”可用句子We should be grateful/thankful for what our parents give us，其中 be grateful/thankful for表“感激”，为固定搭配，what our parents give us为宾语从句；表示“我们应该感恩父母所给予我们的”也可用句子We should appreciate what our parents give us，其中appreciate表“感激”，在本句中作谓语，what our parents give us为宾语从句；表示“我们应该感恩父母所给予我们的”也可用句子We should thank our parents for what they give us，其中thank sb for sth表“因为……感谢某人”，为固定搭配，what they give us为宾语从句。故翻译为We should be grateful/thankful for what our parents give us. /We should appreciate what our parents give us./ We should thank our parents for what they give us.
第二节 读后续写(满分25分)
56. 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
Tess was eight years old when she heard her mother and father talking about her little brother Andrew. All she knew was that he was very sick and they were completely out of money.
Only a very costly surgery could save him and it was looking like there was no one to loan them the money. She heard her father say to her tearful mother with whispered desperation, “Only a miracle(奇迹) can save him now.”
Tess went to her bedroom and pulled a glass jar from its hiding place. She poured all the change out on the floor and counted it carefully. Placing the coins back in the jar and twisting on the cap, she slipped out the back door and made her way to Rexall’s Drug Store.
She waited patiently for the pharmacist(药剂师) to give her some attention but he was too busy at that moment. Finally she took a quarter from her jar and banged it on the glass counter. It worked. “And what do you want ” the pharmacist said, “I’m talking to my brother from Chicago whom I haven’t seen in ages.” Tess replied, “My little brother, Andrew, has something bad growing inside his head and my father says only a miracle can save him now. So how much does a miracle cost ” “We don’t sell miracles here, little girl. I’m sorry but I can’t help you,” the pharmacist said.
The pharmacist’s brother was a well-dressed man. He came up and asked her, “What kind of miracle does your brother need ” “I don’t know,” Tess replied with her eyes welling up. “I just know he is really sick and my mother says he needs an operation. But she can’t pay for it, so I want to use my money.” The man from Chicago asked, “How much do you have ” “One dollar and eleven cents,” Tess answered.

_____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
【答案】 The man touched Tess’s head and smiled. He told Tess that the money was the exact price of a miracle for her little brother. He took her money in one hand and he grasped her hand with the other hand. He asked her to take him to where she lived. He wanted to see her brother and meet her parents. He told Tess he had the kind of miracle she needed.
In fact, the man was a famous doctor. He promised to help the poor girl. The operation was completed without charge and it wasn’t long before Andrew went home again. Tess’s Mom and Dad were happily talking about the chain of events that had led them to this place. “That surgery was a real miracle. I wonder how much it would have cost,” her Mom whispered. Tess smiled and she knew exactly how much the miracle cost—one dolar and eleven cents plus the faith of a little child.
