“I wish we could play at the park, too.” But the basketball hoop in their neighborhood park had been ruined （破坏）by a fallen tree. “I feel so upset” said Kim, “I guess there’s nothing we can do.”

There were many plants in a forest. When spring came, a pine tree saw a red rose nearby and said, “What a beautiful flower! I wish I were that lovely.”
The rose proudly said, “It seems that I am the most beautiful flower in this forest.” Then the rose looked at a cactus (仙人掌) and said, “Look at that ugly plant full of thorns!”
“What a proud flower!” thought the trees.
As the days passed, the red rose often looked at the cactus and said bad words about it, like “This plant is useless. How sorry I am to be his neighbor!”
The cactus never got angry and even tried to advise the rose, saying, “God did not create any form of life without a purpose.”
Spring passed, and the weather became very hot. As there was no rain, the red rose began to wilt (枯萎).
One day the rose saw birds put their beaks (喙) into the cactus and then fly away. The red rose asked the pine tree what the birds were doing. The pine tree explained that the birds were getting water from the cactus.
“The cactus has water?” asked the rose.
“Yes, you can also drink some from it. The birds can bring water to you if you ask the cactus for help.”
The red rose felt too ashamed to ask for water from the cactus. But finally it did ask for help. The cactus kindly agreed.

A recent study from a team of South Korean researchers suggests that eating alone often may lead to poor eating habits and poor food choices. Specifically, the study found that men who ate alone more than twice a week had a greater risk of developing high blood pressure and other diseases.
For children, eating with their families is not only about preventing bad results—it is also about developing good ones.
In 2014, the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) looked at data from nearly three-quarters of the world’s countries. Among its findings was the fact that students who shared a main meal with families were less likely to skip school(逃学). Children who eat a main meal with their families are also less likely to use drugs and alcohol(吸毒酗酒).
In the report, named “The Importance of Family Dinners”,researchers say that “teens who have frequent family dinners are more likely to say their parents know a lot about what’s going on in their lives”. They also say that when teens say they feel closer to their parents, they are less likely to use drugs and alcohol.
Another study from the University of Montreal found that children who ate with their families experience long-term physical and mental health benefits. These children were physically in better shape and drank fewer sugary soft drinks. These children also seemed to have better social skills and they were less aggressive(好斗的).
Professor Linda Pagani says that mealtimes shared with parents “likely provide young children with first-hand social communication, discussions of social events and day-to-day matters”.She adds that they may likely help the child have better communication skills with others.
38.The underlined word “benefits” in Paragraph 5 is the closest in meaning to .
A.advantages
B. disadvantages
C. conditions
D. problems
39.Children eating with their families are more likely to .
A.drink more sugary soft drinks
B. do well in their studies at school
C. be more socially active and aggressive
D. have a closer relationship with their parents
40.Why is Professor Pagani mentioned in the last paragraph?
A.To introduce her.
B. To add a new point.
C. To explain further.
D. To provide background information.
41.The passage mainly talks about .
A.the benefits of eating together
B. the advantages of eating alone
C. the ways of developing social skills
D. the risks of using drugs and alcohol
D
As we are getting older and older, our ability to think and remember starts to become worse. But not everyone is like this. Some people are super-agers, who are over the age of 80, but have the brain of much younger people.
Scientists know that parts of the brain become smaller in size with age. But the change of the super-agers’
Learning new things
Develop healthy relationships Stay active
Develop healthy relationships
Super-agers Learn new things Stay active
Challenge yourself
Learn new things Stay active
Develop healthy relationships goes much more slowly. In her recent study, Emily Rogalski, a neuroscientist (神经科学家), showed that super-agers have young brains. The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown to be thicker in super-agers. “When we look at a super-ager’s brain, we see that it looks more like a 50-year-old brain than an 80-year-old one”.
▲ Most of them like travelling and playing sports. They always enjoy reading. And they usually have healthy relationships and spend time with friends. “Growing old,” she adds, “does not have to be depressing and sad. Perhaps if we expect a little better from ourselves, we’ll understand that not all getting old makes us sad”.
Rogalski said jokingly that super-agers do not grow on trees — meaning they are special and few. She says she wants to find out why a super-ager’s mind is working so well and not getting old as quickly as most.
The science behind super-agers is a new, but growing field. It attracts many scientists. Scientists in the research offer the advice to us: Stay active. Learn new things. Challenge yourself. Develop healthy relationships. We may also become super-agers if we follow the advice.
42. Super-agers are people .
A. over 80 with older brains
B. under 80 with older brains
C. over 80 with younger brains
D. under 80 with younger brains
43. What can we know from the passage?
A.The area of the brain for attention and memory was shown thinner in super-agers.
B. Scientists have found out why a super-ager’s mind is working so well.
C. Super-agers are common and very easy to find in our lives .
D. More and more scientists may get into the study of super-agers.
44. Which of the following sentences can be put in ▲ ?
A. Scientists find that super-agers usually live simple lives.
B. Scientists say that super-agers hardly ever forget things.
C. Scientists find that super-agers have some physical differences from others.
D. Scientists say that super-agers have several things in common.
45. Which of the following shows the writer ’s idea?
A.
B.
C.
Super-agers Challenge yourself Super-agers Challenge yourself
E
We often reach a point in our life when we should be ready for change that will help us unlock our self-improvement power. However, there’s always something staring at us right under our nose but we don’t see it. The only time we think of unlocking our self-improvement power is when everything gets worst.
When do we realize that we need to change diets? When none of our shirts and jeans fit us. When do we stop eating candies and chocolates? When all of our teeth have fallen off. When do we realize that we need to stop smoking? When our lungs have gone bad. We think about changing only when the whole world is falling apart. We think and feel this way because it is not easy to change, but change becomes more painful when we ignore(忽视) it.
Unlocking our self-improvement power means unlocking ourselves out of the box of thought that we are just the way we are. It is such a poor excuse for people who fear change.
Jane always tells everyone that she doesn’t have the courage to be with groups of people. She heard her family tell the same things about her to other people. Over the years, that is what Jane has believed. Every time a great crowd come, she steps back and locks herself in a room. Jane not only believes in her story, but lives it!
Exercising three times a week would result in a healthier life. Reading books every day would build up knowledge. And only when we are enjoying unlocking our self-improvement power will we realize that we’re beginning to take things light and become happy.
46.T he writer mentions the three questions in Paragraph 2 to show that _.
A.we learn our lessons when we experience pain
B.we are responsible for the problems we meet
C.life fails us when we get into the wrong way
D.life is a long journey full of ups and downs
47.According to the passage, what is the key to solving Jane’s problem?
A.She needs to remember why she started.
B.She has to know how to get on with people.
C.She has to realize she is not what she is in her story.
D.She needs to understand the importance of confidence.
48.The writer probably agrees that .
A.ignoring change can make us happier
B.people change when they find it easy to do that
C.welcoming change in life helps us to become better
D.enjoying self-improvement makes life more difficult
49.Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?
A.Is it important to take things light?
B.Is it necessary to face challenges?
C.To hold on to the last moment or to give up?
D.To unlock ourselves out of the box or to stay in it?

A rich man loved his son very much. As he wanted his son to lead a happy life, he sent him to see a wise old man for his advice on happiness.

The boy set off on foot for the river and some time later, he came back with a bowl of water.

The old man smiled and said, “Bring me another bowl of water, but this time enjoy the flowers and the singing of birds as well.”
When he returned, the boy was able to describe everything he had seen to the old man. But when he looked down at his bowl, he found sadly that most water was gone. He forgot all about his bowl while enjoying the beautiful things along the road.

Try to be a/an 81 .

Be less wasteful.
Trying to be less wasteful can help you enjoy the world around you more. You can use paper instead of plastic whenever you can. Don’t use too many products that can’t be 83 again. Also, try to take the public transportation and go somewhere 84 foot or by bike instead of driving.
Get along well with your friends and family.

2. 名词主要是考查单词的意思，这里是指是我们重庆人的骄傲，注意骄傲的名词pride 和形容词形式proud.
3. 可以积累get/win the first place/prize,其中the 可以省略。
as…as 中间应该用形容词和副词的原形，这里
修饰前面的实意动词did, 所以用副词well.
4. 通过句意，我的父母几乎要睡着了，他们太累了，没有好好看这部电影，parents 是两个人，两者都不
是neither, 两者都both .
5. the number of …的数量，注意修饰多少的时候要用large/ small,这里有than 表示比起一个月之前少了，

6. 注意句中的since , 应该用现在完成时。
注意区别C.D，had become 是过去完成时。
7. be on business 是指出差。
这里考查情态动词表推测的否定形式，can’t 表示“一定不是”“不可能是”。
8. a/this pair of 后面接动词的单复数由pair 前面的数量词决定，这里指由妈妈做的，be made by sb. feel 这里指摸起来，做系动词，前面it 做主语，正好也指明第一空用单数。
9. teach sb. sth 这里sb 做teach 的宾语，注意用人称代词宾格。
后面用助动词代替前面提到过的动作，由

15. offer to do 固定搭配，表示自愿去做。
16.borrow sth from sp./sb. 表示从哪里借；lend sth to sb/ lend sb sth ，表示借给，借出。

段时间，要用延续性动词，borrow—keep. Have 是buy 的延续形式。
17.look 和read 没有后面sb.do/doing 的用法，这里是错的。
When I passed by 表示我经过的时候这个动
作正在进行，区别see 和watch ，watch 更注重的是注视，认真观看的意思，这里只是表示路过的时候刚
好看见，用see 的过去式saw.
18. as soon as 注意要用主将从现，这里主语是she ,所以B,D 错误。
而reach 不能做不及物动词，要用reach sp. Arrive 可以做不及物，例如：When will you arrive?
19. 根据句意，除非我被邀请，我不会去参加他的聚会。
Unless = if…not.这里也可以说if I am not invited, I will never go to his party.
