Ⅴ. 任务型阅读
It was 6:00 on a Monday morning. With his books in his bag, 13-year-old James Mwangi was on his way to school, the Mcedo-Beijing school in a slum（贫民窟）in the Kenyan capital of Nairobi (肯尼亚首都内罗毕). This school was built in 2001 with the help of China, for child
ren from poor families. After getting to school, Mwangi went straight to his class to do his class work. It is usual that pupils in this school
prepare for their lessons before the teacher comes.      
To study in the school was once a dream for the poor boy. His mother made a living by washing clo
thes for others. Some days she took home nothing, and some days she could get about $ 3 — it was hardly enough to buy them a full meal for a day.     
Before joining the Mcedo-Beijing school, Mwangi was at home with his seven brothers, collecting garbage (垃圾). The school is giving these children hope for the future by giving a chance to get education (教育).
   
“For me, education is the best gift,” said Mwangi.

Ⅱ. 1. D  句中有“for+时间段”，因此用现在完成时；buy为非延续性动词，不能与时间段
      连用，因此要换成have。

3. C  句意为“为什么江先生今天没来上班？”“因为他咳嗽去看医生了。”
4. C  be late for意为“迟到”；“in+时间段”意为“多长时间之后”，时态用一般将来时。
5. B  “the+姓-s”意为“某一家人”，表示复数；句中有“since+时间段”，应用现在完成时。
6. B  名词作定语一般用单数，“鞋店”应说成shoe store。　
7. C  have/has been to，表示人去过，已经回来；have/has gone to，表示人去了，不在这儿。

9. D  前句表示在父亲节对父亲的祝愿，答语表示听到这个祝愿很开心。
