阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
The park bench was deserted as I sat down to read beneath the branches of an old tree, with good reason to frown, for the world was intended to drag me down. At this time, a boy approached me. He stood right before me, and said with great excitement, "Look what I found!"
In his hand was a flower, and what a pitiful sight, with its petals(花瓣)all worn. Wanting him to take his flower and go off to play, I faked a small smile and then turned to the other side.
But instead of leaving, he sat next to my side and placed the flower to his nose and declared, “ It really smells pretty and it's beautiful, too. That’s why I picked it. Here, it's for you.”
The flower before me was dying or dead. But I knew I must take it, or he might never leave .So I reached for the flower, and replied, Just what I need .
But instead of placing the flower in my hand, he held it in mid-air. It was then that I noticed that the boy was blind.
I heard my voice quiver(轻微颤抖) and at the same time my tears shone like the sun. As I thanked him for picking the very best one, he smiled and said, “you're welcome.” And then he ran off to play, unaware of the impact he’d had on me.
I sat there and wondered how he managed to see a self-pitying woman beneath an old tree. Perhaps from his heart, he’d been blessed with true sight.
Through the eyes of the blind boy, I could see the problem was not with the world; the problem was me. And for all of those times I had been blind. From now on I vowed to see beauty and appreciate every second that's mine. Then I held the flower up to my nose and breathed its fragrance and smiled as that young boy.
21. When she sat down to read on the bench, the author __________________.
A. felt relaxed and peaceful
B. felt upset and unhappy with her life
C. wanted to have a friend keeping her company
D. felt proud to have overcome the difficulties in life
22. The author decided to take the flower at first because _________________.
A. she was really moved by the boy
B. she didn't want to hurt the young boy
C. she thought the flower was really beautiful
D. she didn't like being bothered by the boy any more
23. Which of the following can best describe the boy?
A. Kind and optimistic.
B. Independent and active.
C. Handsome and intelligent.
D. Warmhearted and sensitive.
B
In Van Nuys California, a beagle （猎兔犬）was dropped off at the city pound because he was too old and had gained so much weight; the owner didn't want him anymore. The people at the shelter guessed that the beagle was 7-8 years old, so he still had a lot of life left, if he could be brought back to a normal weight.
Unfortunately, dog pounds don't have the time or resources to work an abandoned animal back into good health. Plus, people don't like to adopt animals that are terribly overweight. Without someone's stepping in, this beagle would probably have been put down by giving a drug to end his suffering.
Thankfully the good people of Karma Rescue, a non-profit organization which provides life-saving aid for pets in trouble, came to his rescue. He was given the name Darwin. Karma rescues a number of dogs, and they were still surprised at what appeared to be neglect （忽略）of the dog for its entire life.
Darwin was about twice the weight that he should have been and even had a hard time walking. Having a beagle, we know how quickly a beagle can become overweight, which puts stress on their heart and causes other health issues.
Beagles will eat anything put in front of them, and will eat it all. They don't know when or how to stop eating. We have experienced this when our beagle has gotten into our trash, gotten food on the kitchen counter, and even eaten a bag of chocolate chips. Thankfully our beagle survived his hard times and we have learned to "beagle proof（防护）" , the house when we leave.
Darwin was in for a long journey back to health, but with the support of many people, he is down to a normal beagle weight and he is well on his way.
24. The underlin e word “pound" in Paragraph 1 probably refers to a place.
A. where dogs are trained to hunt
B. where people can buy or sell pets
C. where sick or injured pets are treated
D. where homeless dogs are temporarily kept
25. What would have happened to Darwin without Karma Rescue's help?
A. He would have been poisoned to death.
B. He would have been abandoned in the wild.
C. He would have been adopted by a kind couple.
D. He would have been returned to his former owner.
26. What may they do to “beagle proof” th e house before leaving?
A. Leave all the doors open,
B. Place the trash near the beagle.
C. Put all the food out of the beagle's reach.
D. Build a thick and strong wall around the house.
27. What is the best title for the text?
A. The Transformation of an Abandoned Beagle
B. Karma Rescue, a Non-profit Organization
C. How to Keep Your Beagle in Shape
D. Kind People Bring Good Luck
C
Traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) is an ancient form of health care that dates back over 2,500 years, which aims to prevent or cure disease by maintaining or restoring yinyang balance. Fundamentally, TCM seeks to restore a dynamic balance between two complementary forces, yin (passive) and yang (active). According to the yinyang theory, a person is healthy when harmony exists between these two forces; illness, on the other hand, results from a breakdown in the balance.
TCM practitioners (从业者)look to treat the root cause of disease and take a holistic approach to helping people experience complete recovery without the use of conventional drugs. TCM is “holistic”because it takes into account all aspects of a patient's life, rather than just several obvious symptoms. TCM practitioners view the body as a complex system, rather than separate organs. They use smell, hearing, touch, and pulse diagnosis (诊断)to discover the source of an unbalanced health condition. In addition, the practitioner typically makes use of what is known as five phases (wuxing). Using the five-phase theory, the practitioner can create a plan for treatment that might contain such components as herbs, lifestyle changes, and foods for recovery.
Over the past several decades, TCM has been going global. It is now practiced in 183 countries and regions with 86 of them signing agreements with China to promote it. More and more medical schools are now recognizing the importance of training students and staff in “mind-body" practices that emphasize disease prevention and holistic treatments. A study of 3,200 physicians, conducted by Health Products Research, indicates that more than 50 percent of physicians in the U.S. planned to begin or increase use of TCM.
28. What is the most important to stay healthy according to TCM?
A. Having as little yin as possible.
B. Ensuring much yang all the time.
C. Staying away from conventional drugs.
D. Keeping the balance between yin and yang.
29. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?
A. The globalization of TCM.
B. The history of TCM.
C. The significance of TCM.
D. The benefits of TCM.
30. On what theories is TCM based according to this passage?
A. Practitioner and patient.
B. Yinyang and wuxing.
C. Diagnosis and cure.
D. Prevention and treatment.

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。
If you live in a place where most people speak English, you may use the language for several hours each day. 31 Your mind stops trying to translate things from your native language into English.
However, as an English beginner, you may live in places where English is not the main language. The good news is that thinking in English can bring you a huge step closer to fluency! The following are some mental exercises that can help.
Think in single words.
32 So, a good first step is to think in individual words. Look around you. What do you see? In your head, try to name each object in your surroundings, whatever it is and wherever you are.
Think in sentences.
The next exercise is thinking in simple sentences. For example, if you are sitting in a park, you can tell yourself things like, " 33 " and "I like everything here,"
Describe your day.
You can describe your day and make plans in the morning, such as, "When I leave the house, I'm going to get an iced coffee. 34 I'll hand in my homework after arriving."
35
When you do this, you are imagining yourself speaking to someone else. You are asking the questions and thinking of replies. For example, let's say the imaginary person asks you a question, like, "What did you do last night?" How would you answer?

A mother is a person who, seeing there are only four pieces of pie for five people, promptly announces she never did care for pie.
—Tenneva Jordan
I knew I was not supposed to be quite so excited. I was too old for that. At age eleven, the oldest and my mom’s “grown up” girl, I had to keep my cool. I was in middle school after all. But every chance I got, when I was alone, I checked each present under the tree. I read every tag and felt every package, guessing at the contents within. I had examined each gift so often that I could tell which present went to which person without even looking at the tags.
It had been a tough year for my family. Whenever my mom looked over at the tree and scattered(撒) presents, she would sigh and warn us, “There won’t be as much for Christmas this year. Try not to be disappointed.” Christmas had traditionally been a time for my parents to spoil us. In years past, the presents would pile up and spill out from under the tree, taking over the living room.
I had heard the phrase “giving is better than receiving,” but thought that whoever had said that must have been out of their mind. Getting presents was the whole point! It was the reason I couldn’t get to sleep on Christmas Eve.
On Christmas morning, we eagerly waited in the hallway until Dad told us everything was ready. We rushed into the living room and let the wrapping paper fly. We made weak attempts to wait and watch while other family members opened their presents, but as the time passed we lost our self-control.
“Here’s another one for you,” said Mom as she handed me a package. I looked at it, confused. Having spent so much time examining the presents before Christmas, I recognized this one. But it had not been mine. It was my mom’s. A new label had been put on it, with my name written in my mother’s handwriting.
“Mom, I can’t…”

Paragraph 1:
I was stopped by my mother’s eager, joyful look. “Let’s see what it is, honey. Hurry and open it.” It was a blow dryer. Though this may seem but a simple gift, to me it was so much more. Being an eleven-year-old girl, I was stunned. In my world, where receiving largely outweighed giving, my mom’s act of selflessness was incomprehensible. It was a huge act. Tears filled my eyes and I thought in disbelief about how much my mom must love me to give up her Christmas so I could have
a few more presents.
Paragraph 2:
I have always remembered that Christmas fondly. It had such an impact on me. As an adult with children in my life whom I adore, I can now understand my mom’s actions. I see, actually, she was not “giving up her Christmas” as I had t hought, but was finding an even greater joy in her Christmas because giving truly is better than receiving. My mom’s simple act meant the world to me. Whenever I look back on my mom’s giving, I will choose to give in my life.
