This year, a few days 15 Christmas, he punished his little five-year-old daughter after learning that she had 16 the family’s only roll of expensive gold wrapping (包装) paper.As the family was short of money, he became even angrier when on Christmas Eve he saw that the child had used all of the expensive gold paper to wrap one shoe box she had 17 under the Christmas tree.However, the next morning the little girl, filled with 18 , brought the gift box to her father and said, “This is for you, Daddy!” As he received the box, the father was embarrassed (尴尬) by his earlier anger, now 19 how he had punished her.But when he opened the shoebox, he found it was 20 and again his anger burst (爆发). “Don’t you know, young lady,”he said 21 , “when you give someone a present, there should be something inside the box!”The little girl looked up at him with sad tears rolling from her eyes and 22 : “Daddy,it’s not empty.I blew kisses into it until it was all full.”The father was 23 . He fell on his knees and put his arms around his little girl. He asked her to forgive him for his unnecessary anger.From then on, the father kept this little gold box by his bed. Whenever he faced problems, he would open the box, take out an unreal kiss, and remember the 24 of this beautiful child who had put it there.15.A. after B. before C. since D. at16.A. used B. hidden C. broken D. made17.A. decorated B. found C. covered D. put18.A. encouragement B. excitement C. agreement D. treatment19.A. regretting B. understanding C. thinking D. wondering20.A. full B. empty C. enough D. spare21.A. madly B. sadly C. seriously D. curiously22.A. whispered B. shouted C. screamed D. repeated23.A. scared B. surprised C. excited D. worried24.A. love B. care C. charm D. trust三、阅读理解（本大题共 13 小题，每小题 2 分，共 26 分）A25.If Amy works as a guide, she can get .A.$500 a monthB. $12 an hourC. $35 a weekD. $185 a month26.If Mr Black wants to rent a house for his family, he can .A. call 555-4140B. call 555-0698C. call 555-4863D. e-mail guidehr@27.Who lost a cat? .A.LizieB. JohnC. AndrewD. PeterBIt was Day 1 of our vacation on Cortes, a beautiful quiet island. “iPhone,iPhone, iPhone,” my son kept moaning(呻吟). In front of him was a big window facing the blue ocean. And a cool gentle wind was coming in from the door. Clearly, he saw and felt none of it.Back at home, I’d soon give up and hand the phone over to him after five minutes of listening to this kind of moaning.But not here, before we left, I had told my 10-year-old son the rule—no e-mails, no Facebook, no video games, and no iPhone. We came here to get away from them all. Here we were on our first day and already, he couldn’t stand it.I walked down the grass road to the beach and looked out to the sea. My 6-year-old daughter and my husband were drawing on pieces of wood. They were doing just fine.On Day 2, we spent the whole morning digging for shells(贝壳). This time, my son joined us. He collected shellfish and other sea treasures. When we got back to our little wood house, I gave my son a book, and put him on the lovely garden chair. It was almost dinner when he looked up.The next few days passed in peace.On Day 6, my son was lying beside me on the beach, watching the sun going down. He was playing with the sand. And there was something shining in his eyes. I realized how time slowed down for both of us. It was exactly what I wanted. Finally, we were able to sit quietly without thinking about screens, phone calls and e-mails.A week away from all the electronics and life is good.28.What is the special rule for the writer’s vacation?A.They couldn’t use their electronics.B. They must keep quiet and stay in the house.C. The had to spend their vacation on an island.D. They should collect as many shells as possible.29.Which of the following can be put in “” in Paragraph 4?A.I felt really tired and went to bed.B. I closed the door and stayed with him.C. I just walked outside to leave him alone.D. I gave him iPhone and let him stay inside.30.The change of the son’s feelings can be described as .A.angry→surprised→proudB. excited→peaceful→boredC. worried→angry→hopefulD. bored→peaceful→pleasedCWhen I was in the third grade, we had a hunt at school. We gathered up chalk, pencils, stones and so on, rapidly filling our checklists. It was a very close race. I was out of breath when I reached the clover (三叶草) patch in search of the last, most hard-to-find object: a four-leaf clover. I was pretty sure that I was going to win. I’ve always been able to find four-leaf clovers. I can just see them.I spent my childhood collecting and pressing four-leaf clovers into books at my mother’s house. I started with big cloth-and leather-bound books. When I used up all those books, I began to put my treasures into anything I could find: novels, cookbooks. The same is true in my house today. Shake a book, and a papery treasure just might fall into your hand.A few years ago, in Nova Scotia, my husband and I pulled off the road for a picnic. The ground was thick with clover. Some shoots had four, five, even six leaves. I lined them up on the picnic table to admire as my husband, never yet having found one four-leaf clover, looked on with awe. To me, it was simple. The differences in their shapes popped out, breaking the pretty pattern (式样) of the normal clovers with their three perfect leaves.Two summers back, while waiting for an airport shuttle in Munich, I found a tiny four-leaf clover in a traffic circle and put it into my passport. On the way home, my husband and I were upgraded (升级) to business class. Friends believed the clover brought us good luck. I think it’s more likely that we were upgraded because a kind customer service officer tookpity on us.People disagree about whether the luck lies in the finding or in the owning of a clover. Some believe that the luck is lost if the four-leaf clover is even shown to somebody else, while others think the luck doubles if it is given away. I believe that it is increased by sharing. I feel lucky to find the clovers so often, but I don’t think they influence my life any more than it does to share anything a little special—that short closeness (亲密关系) between you and a friend or a stranger, as you all will come close to wonder (惊叹) at a rare find.31.Why can the author notice four-leaf clovers so easily?A.She always has good luck.B. She has a special gift for plants.C. She practiced a lot in her childhood.D. She can tell the pattern differences.32.How does the writer understand luck and clovers?A.A clover doesn’t influence luck any more.B.Clovers will influence one’s good luck a lot.C.Closeness brought by clovers really matters.D.Good luck may double if you give clovers away.33.What may be the best tile for the passage?A.Just for luckB. Sharing cloversC. Not for luckD. Finding cloversDFew people refuse to look at pictures of cute animals. Take Sally chicken as anexample. The chicken with a yellow body and a flat mouth always looks lovely, whichmakes it popular on the Internet. Seeing her cute picture cheers people up. But there'sanother advantage of cute animals.New research has found that looking at pictures of cute animals can also help us concentrate(聚精会神)better.The study comes from researchers at Hiroshima University in Japan. They invited 132 university students to take part in a series of experiments.In one experiment, students played a game in which they had to pick up small objects from a hole without touching the sides. In another experiment, students were asked to find a given number from a list of numbers quickly.In both experiments, they did the given tasks twice – before and after looking at pictures of either kittens (baby cats) and puppies (baby dogs), or adult cats and dogs.Researchers were surprised to find that in both cases students who were shown cute baby animal pictures made fewer mistakes.But, baby animals look both "cuter" and "more pleasant" than adult animals. Some people may ask whether the test difference came from their being "pleasant"?To find the answer, the researchers chose some food pictures which looked pleasant but not cute, and gave them to a third group of students. But viewing the foods did not make the students do any better in the number test.This finding shows that viewing cute pictures makes participants(参与者)behave more deliberately and do tasks with greater care.The "power of cuteness" may be of great use in everyday life.Think about situations in which people need to act carefully: driving, office work and exams."In my first year of high school, I brought small plastic toys to school during tests. I would set them up in a row on my desk, facing me, and then get busy with answering exam questions," Susana Martinez-Conde wrote in Scientific American.34.Why is Sally chicken mentioned at the beginning of the article?A.Because the article is about Sally chicken.B. Because Sally chicken is popular online.C. To explain why Sally chicken is popular.D. To introduce the topic of cute animals' advantage.35.What was the main finding of the study at Hiroshima University?A.Seeing cute animals could cheer people up.B.Seeing cute things could help people concentrate.C.People concentrated better after seeing anything pleasant.D.People did better after seeing pictures of adult cats and dogs.36.The underlined word "deliberately" is closest in meaning to .A.happilyB. relaxedlyC. carefullyD. actively37.What do Martinez-Conde's words tell us?A.It's improper to look at toys in an exam.B. Cuteness can be very useful in daily life.C. Toys are popular among high school students.D. All Cute toys can help students get good scores.四、词汇运用（本大题共 8 小题，每小题 1 分，共 8 分）(A)根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。
