That day, I stood at my usual place by the door, waiting for his 18 from work.
After standing there for a while, I began to 19 where Daddy was. I ran into the kitchen to Mummy. “When is Daddy coming?” I asked 20 because I didn’t want to find out he was on a business trip.
“Soon, honey,” Mummy replied distractely (心不在焉地) 21 she was preparing for dinner.
I ran back to the door, for I knew that Daddy was 22 and that I wasn’t standing there for fun, I began to recite the words from my favorite books.
Tired of that, I went back to the kitchen to ask Mummy again but before I could open my 23 , she handed me a coloring book. She said: “I’m 24 , Daniel. Go and colour a pretty picture and I’ll hang it on the refrigerator.”
I went back to the door, put my book and crayons down, then went to get my mini rocking chair to sit in. After
a while, the 25 became a pink-and-purple artistic wonder.
Soon I smiled as I heard the sound of the garage door 26 and Daddy’s car driving in. I heard him turn off the engine and open and close his 27 door. The 28 thing I knew was that the door opened and there stood Daddy. I stood up and 29 my arms out. I hugged him tightly and whispered softly, “I love you.”

The sight of a tailor-shop gave me a strong wish to throw off my old clothes and get a new suit. Could I afford it? No, I had nothing in the world but a million-pound note. So I forced myself to go on by. But soon I was drawing back again. The temptation troubled me a lot. I must have passed that shop six times during that struggle. At last I
gave in, I had to. I asked if they had a cheap suit. The fellow I spoke to made no answer at first, looked me up and down, noticed that I was almost in rags(衣衫褴褛), then said, “Just a minute.”
I waited till he had finished his work. Then he took me into a back room to choose a cheapest suit for me. I put it on. It didn’t fit, but it was new and I was anxious to have it, so I said shyly:
“Could you wait a few da ys for the money? I haven’t any small change on me.”
The fellow looked at me coldly and said, “Oh, you haven’t. Well, of course, I know that gentlemen like you carry only large notes.”
I was angry, and said, “My friend, you shouldn't judge a stranger alway s by the clothes he wears. I am quite able to pay for this suit. I simply didn't wish to put you to the trouble of changing a large note. ” “Why do you think we can’t change your note? Instead, we can.”
I handed the note to him and said: “Oh, very well, I am sorry.”
He received it with a smile, and then as he looked at the note, his smile froze.
Realizing what was going on, the owner of the shop gave a low whistle and talked excitedly, as if to himself.
“To sell such a suit as that to a millionaire! Tod’s a fool. Please get those clothes off, sir. Wait till you see what we’ll make for you to your own measure.”
Before I could get in a word he had measured me, and was giving orders for evening suits, morning suits, shirts and all sorts of things.

( ) 36. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage？

Alexis, 17, sat quietly in the passenger seat of her dad's car. She let her eyes lazily scan the landscape for wildlife. Then a deer came into view about 200 yards in front of them. "Dad, there's a deer there!" Alexis said. It was a male deer with sharp antlers (角) on each side of its head.
As the car moved closer, Alexis saw that the deer's head was bent toward the ground. Then she heard a scream and saw an arm fly up near the deer's head. Alexis realized the deer was attacking a woman. Sue, a 44-year-old mother, had been out for her morning run. The deer followed her and edged closer. "I knew I was in trouble," Sue says. She went to pick up a stick for self-defense, and the deer charged. It lifted her with its antlers and threw her into the air. Sue could feel blood flew down her leg. Within seconds, the deer had pushed her off the road.
When Alexis and her father pulled up, the deer was throwing Sue like a doll. Alexis looked into the woman's terrified eyes, and before her father had even stopped the car, the teenager jumped quickly out of the car and ran toward the deer. "I was kicking it to get its attention," she says. Then her father, who had followed his daughter, pushed the deer away from the women.
Alexis helped Sue into the car, and then applied a piece of cloth to Sue's injured leg. "We're going to get you to a hospital," Alexis said. Then she heard her father shout loudly. He had been knocked to the ground. Alexis took hold of a hammer from the car and ran to where her father lay on his back. She beat the deer's head and neck, but the blows didn't scare it away. "I was losing faith," she says. "A couple more strikes, Alexis," said her father. "You can do it." Turning the hammer around, Alexis closed her eyes and beat the deer's neck with all her strength. When she opened her eyes, the deer was running away. Alexis got in the driver's seat and sped toward the nearest hospital.
After Sue was treated, she tearfully thanked her rescuers. "You expect a teenage girl to get on the phone and call for help," she says, "not to beat up a deer."
( ) 38. What was Sue doing when she was attacked by the deer?
A. She was driving home.
B. She was resting on the road.
C. She was taking exercise.
D. She was feeding wild animals.
( ) 39. What did Alexis do to save Sue?
A. She pushed the deer away.
B. She hit the deer with her feet.
C. She drove the car to hit the deer.
D. She beat the deer with a hammer.
( ) 40. Which of the following words can best describe Alexis?
A. Strong.
B. Cruel.
C. Energetic.
D. Brave.
( ) 41. What is the best title for the passage?
A. A Woman Was Seriously Injured
B. A Dangerous Deer Attacked a Woman
C. A Girl Rescued Her Father Successfully
D. A Teenager Saved Others from a Deer Attack
D
Turning the lights out or wearing a blindfold while eating could be a quick way to lose weight, according to scientists. The simple trick works because it stops diners eating for pleasure rather than for calories. It also triggers (引发) a part of the brain that is worried that unseen food may go bad.
An experiment by the University of Konstanz, in Germany, found that people who were blindfolded consumed nine percent fewer calories before they felt full, compared to those who could see. They also vastly overestimated how much they had eaten because they could not see how much was left on the plate. Blindfolded volunteers estimated they had eaten 88 percent more than they actually had.
Scientists believe that not seeing food on the table also allows the body to know when it is full in real time rather than remembering past experiences where it might have taken a full plate to feel full.
In the experiment, 50 people were blindfolded and 40 were allowed to see their food. All were told not to eat within two hours of the experiment. They were then given three 95g bowls of chocolate ice cream and invited to eat for 15 minutes. Their bowls were taken away and the remaining ice-cream weighed, while the participants were quizzed on how much they thought they had eaten.
On average the group who could see ate 116g while the blindfolded groups ate 105g. However, the blindfolded group believed they had eaten 197g while compared with 159g for the non-blind volunteers. They were also asked how pleasant the ice-cream tasted and the blindfolded group rated lower than those who could see.
“The experienced pleasure of eating was lower in the blindfolded group. Not seeing the food might have decreased the appetite. Sight plays an important role in the eating experience and in the overall dining experience.”
Previous studies have shown that the visual influence of food plays a large part in the taste. While restaurants that allow diners to eat in the dark state that it triggers other senses, in fact eating in darkness is likely to taste far milder than usual.
( ) 42. With the lights out, diners eat less partly because ______.
A. they want to quickly finish their meals
B. they trust their feelings more than ever
C. they focus more on fun than the calories
D. they worry about the quality of the food
( ) 43. We can learn from the passage that the blindfolded group ______.
A. spent a much longer time eating the same food
B. believed they ate more than they really did
C. depended on past experiences to feel full
D. thought the food tasted better than usual
( ) 44. The last two paragraphs tell us that ______.
A. diners are likely to lose their appetite eating in darkness
B. senses rather than sight play an important role in the taste
C. findings of this experiment differ from the previous studies
D. restaurants benefit a lot from allowing diners to eat in the dark
( ) 45. The main purpose of the passage is to ______.
A. provide statistics related to eating in the dark
B. offer reasons for people to eat in the dark areas
C. inform the readers of the result of an experiment
D. advise the readers to lose weight in a new way

Adding to the madness of the 2016 US presidential election is American lawyer（律师）Andrew Basiago. He says he has traveled through time nearly all his life, and is pretty sure that he’s going to become “either president or vice president” between 2016 and 2028. Polling data（民意测评）is obviously of little use to this guy.
Basiago’s greatest qualification to hold office, of course, is his first-hand information of past and future events. Basiago claims to have gone back in time to 1863 and witnessed Abraham Lincoln’s speech at Gettysburg. He’s also been to the future —the year 2054 —so he as an idea of the pitfalls（缺陷）that a president should be avoiding. Having traveled widely in time, Basiago has held conversations with President Bush, President Clinton, and President Obama decades before they were elected to office, telling them in advance of their presidencies. More importantly, he has been to Mars in 1981, which makes for rich experience in foreign relations.
76. What is Andrew Basiago sure to become between 2016 and 2028?
_______________________________▲_______________________________________
77. What is almost useless to Basiago in his eyes?
______________________________▲________________________________________
78. What did Basiago witness when he went back in time to 1863?

79. What’s Basiago’s most important advantage to be the president?

八、书面表达（本题满分20分）
Today, I'm going to talk about a change to China's population policy(政策). A couple can have a second child.
However, different people have different opinions about this policy.
Some people who support it think that a couple should have two children at least because their first child feels so lonely when they go out for their work. What’s more, they can take care of the elderly to gether with their brothers or sisters.
①For another thing, two kids will help each other, they can share things together. Learning to share things is
a very important lesson for children.
②In another way, the policy can ease pressure from the ageing population in China. It is helpful to improve the balanced development of population. / to keep the balance of population.
But some people refuse the policy because they think they can’t afford it. They have to pay for two children’s education and pocket money. It is difficult for them to improve their life. Sometimes, they are too busy looking after the smaller child to look after the elder child.
①The parents will have to spare more time and effort to look after their children so they can’t devote themselves to their work.
②Sometimes there are some fights between the kids. It often makes the parents worried.
In my opinions, whether a couple should have a second child or not depends on their family situation. If they can achieve a balance between their own work and their children, I think two children are perfect for a family. In a word, parents should think twice before making a decision of having a second. Only in this way, we can have a peaceful and happy family life.
