As her teacher walked to her, Elizabeth tried 43 her card with her arm, but Mrs Berry gently 44 it so that she could read it. Elizabeth sat 45 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a 46 roll down Mrs Berry?s face. She had never made Mrs Berry so upset.

“My Mother?s Day card. I know you’re upset because I didn?t do it 52 .”
“Elizabeth, that was the 53 card in the whole class. It was so 54 that it made me cry.”
Elizabeth was so 55 that she ran out of the class-room.
When her father came home from work that night, Elizabeth 56 to give him the card early.

Dear Dad,

三：阅读理解（共20小题，每题2分，满分40分）
第一节（共16小题，每小题2分，总分32分）
阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Can trees talk? Yes—but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees do communicate with each other. Not long ago, researchers learned some surprising things. First a willow tree(柳树) attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛毛虫) changed the chemistry of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars got tired of the leaves and stopped eating them. The even more astonishing, the tree sent out a special vapour — a signal causing its neighbours to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.
Communication, of course, doesn?t need to be always in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds, and movements. Bees dance their signals, flying in certain patterns that tell other bees where to find nectar(花蜜) for honey. So why shouldn?t trees have ways of sending messages?
61. From the passage we know that caterpillars _______.
A. like willow trees
B. enjoy eating fallen leaves
C. can talk to other caterpillars
D. can send out a special vapour
62. Caterpillars will stop eating willow tree leaves which _______.
A. have a chemical change and become tasteless
B. have a pleasant taste
C. are being attacked
D. are communicating
63. According to the passage, bees communicate with each other by _______.
A. talking
B. making unusual sounds
C. singing songs
D. flying in certain patterns
B
Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to earn their own money. Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.
Ideas for summer work:
●Parks and Recreation Programs.
●Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.
●Working part-time at a day care for the summer.
●Car washing.
●Working at local vegetable stands.
The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.
Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or in the least bit you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 119, they will be much safer.
You can find out more information and many more ideas for kids to use to make money during their summer holidays by visiting https://www.doczj.com/doc/9d15077184.html,.

In the 1930s，a lot of people in the USA were out of work. Among these people was a man named Alfred Butts. He always had an interest in word games and so，to fill his time，he planned a game which he called ”Lexico”. However，he was not completely satisfied with the game，so he made a number of changes to it and，in time，changed its name from Lexico to Alph and then to Criss Cross. He wanted to make some money from his new game but he didn…t have any real commercial（商业性的）success. In 1939，Butts happened to meet a man called Jim Brunot who showed an interest in the new game. The two men worked together on developing the game and in 1948 it was offered for sale in the United States under its new name—Scrabble. At first，it didn?t sell very well. In the firs t year it sold just 2，250 sets and by 1951 it had only reached 8，500 sets a year. Then，in 1952 the manager of Macy?s department store in New York，Jack Strauss，happened to play “Scrabble” while he was on holiday，He thought it was a wonderful game and，when he went back to work after his holiday，he insisted that Macy?s should stock（储备）the game and make an effort to call the public…s attention to it. As a result，“Scrabble” became a big success in the United States and it soon spread to Australia and then to
other English-speaking countries.

Is there anything more important than health? I don?t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You can?t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.
Speaking about doctor?s advice, I can?t help telling you a funny story.
An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease.
He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn?t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor?s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor,” he said, “it?s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
72. The writer thinks that .
A. health is more important than wealth
B. work is as important as studies
C. medicine is more important than pleasure
D. nothing is more important than money
73. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do .
A. without examining the patient
B. after he has examined the patient
C. if the patient doesn?t take medicine
D. unless the patient feels pain
74. The underlined part means “”.
A. he was feeling better than ever
B. he wasn?t a healthy man
C. he was feeling worse than before
D. he will be well again
75. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man before the doctor told him
not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A. was a heavy smoker
B. didn?t smoke so much
C. didn?t smoke
D. began to learn to smoke
76. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. The doctor usually tests his/her blood pressure when a person is ill.
B. The m an told the doctor he couldn?t remember things.
C. The man thanked the doctor.
D. The man didn?t follow the doctor?s advice.
