It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, you’ll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him t hree pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him.A raw fish head is not good—not even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up in two gulps.“Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman.“Not in my head,” said the boy.The boy la y on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I had paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldn’t I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish headworks now, you see.”【1】The boy ate up the raw fish head only in two gulps, because he __________.A．enjoy itB．wanted to taste itC．took it as a good medicineD．was a foolish boy【2】The boy came to the fisherman in order to __________.A．buy a fish headB．ask the fisherman a questionC．become clevererD．A and C【3】“Not in my head” means “__________”.A．The fish head was not in the boy’s headB．The boy felt nothing came into his headC．It’s difficult to give an answer right awayD．The boy didn’t feel that he was cleverer【4】The boy paid three pounds.

Anyone can register ( 登记 ) with such groups , which then organize courses ,training and trips for all members .One of the most popular outdoor training programmes in both the US and Britain , is Outward Bound ( 户外训练 ) . It was founded in 1941 in Wales and attracts hundreds of thousands of adventurous types every year .The courses are to broaden minds through experiences that build confidence , self-esteem ( 自尊 ) and character . As well as specialist courses such as canoeing , leadership skills and sailing , participants can take part in week long adventure training camps which include a host of sports and survival training education skills . Michael Williams , an American student , took part in an Outward Bound course last year . He said : “W e learned lots of first aid skills , lots of natural history , lots of environmental facts , and participated in a wildlife preservation ( protecting ) programme . Beyond that , my favorite skills learned were sailing and rock climbing .”Courses can last up to 40 days and are open to anyone over the age of 14 . Students must be in general good health , but do not need to be experienced in outdoor-sports . There is no selection process ; everyone is welcome , although new participants are advised to pick a course matching their physical power .Most of the British courses take place in the Beacons in Wales . Another similar organization is the UK Survival School , which includes courses on learning to live with the environment , sailing and winter survival . On a basic survival weekend students will learn how to get water and food , how to make fire and cook with it , to find and build a shelter , control survival life support , how to cross rivers , send off an SOS signal , and to use compassesby day and night .According to the leaders , such adventures are “an awakening , an exploration into unknown.” Outward Bound believes that participants will “use mind and body traveling some of the earth’s roughest wildness areas .”【1】The advantage of the training courses is that _________________ .A．participants can make friends with othersB．participants can visit some places of interestC．participants can experience different adventuresD．participants can learn how wonderful nature is【2】 In the Outward Bound course last year , the most exciting experience Michael Williams had was_____________________.A．learning first aid skills B．collecting facts of environmentC．preserving wildlife D．rock climbing and sailing【3】What’s the writer’s purpose to write this passage ?A．To introduce the training course to readersB．To persuade readers to take part in the training courses.C．To tell readers the danger of this training courseD．To introduce the wonders of the world to readers3.Many Chinese students who have learnt English for more than ten years are still unable to speak English very well when they meet a foreigner. They seem to have mastered the basic language structure(结构), but a conversation in English will make them feel uneasy. They are afraid that other people might find out their mistakes.It's uncommon that many students who are bad speakers of English can write English perfectly. This proves that they are unable to organize their idea in English. The center of the problem is that they lack practice and confidence ( 自信).Why should you be afraid? Do you fear those foreigners with whom you are speaking? Don't be shy, they will not laugh at you just for a little mistake you make. The best way to get rid of trouble is to learn to speak by speaking more. I am sure that constant practice will help you succeed.【1】What's the best topic for the passage?A．How to Speak to ForeignersB．How to Study English WellC．How to Organize the Idea in EnglishD．Practise Speaking English All the Time【2】 According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．We can speak English fluently by doing more speaking.B．If you can write English perfectly, you are able to organize your idea in English.C．If you can write good English composition, you can speak English very well.D．Any Chinese students can't speak English fluently because they are afraid of making mistakes.4.The clothes you wear. The food you eat. The color of your bedroom walls. Where you go and how you get there. The people you hang around with. What time you go to bed. What do these things have in common? You’re asking. They’re just a few examples of many hundreds of things that your parents controlled for you when you were a child.As a kid, you didn’t have a say in everything; your parents made decisions about everything from the cereal you ate in the morning to the pajamas you wore at night. And it’s a good thing, too—kids need this kind of protection on their own.But finally, kids grow up and become teens. And part of being a teen is developing your own identity—one that is separate from your parents’. But as you change and grow into this new person who makes his own decisions,your parents have a difficult time adjusting (调整).In most families, it is this adjustment that can cause a lot of fighting between teens and parents. And issues like the type of friends you have or your attitudes to partying can cause bigger arguments, because your parents still always want to protect you and keep you safe, no matter how old you are.The good news about fighting with your parents get more comfortable with the idea that their teens have a right to certain opinions. It can take several years for parents and teens to adjust to their new roles, though. In the meantime, focus on communicating with your parents.Sometimes this can feel impossible—like they just don’t see your point of view and never will. But talking and expressing your opinions can help you gain more respect from your parents.Keep in mind, too, that your parents were teens once and that in most cases, they can relate to what you’re going through.【1】In the first two paragraphs, the writer .A．complains that parents control kids too muchB．proves that kids have no right to give their opinionsC．describes how carefully parents look after kidsD．explains that it is necessary for parents to control kids【2】A lot of fighting breaks out between teens and parents because .A．parents aren’t used to losing control of kidsB．teens like to have everything decidedC．parents blame teens for not respecting themD．teens are eager to develop their own identity【3】In the writer’s opinion, parents control teens in order to .A．prevent them from having their own ideasB．protect them from being hurtC．make them respect parents in the familyD．make sure that children have a good future【4】The underlined word “this” in paragraph 6 may refer to “”.A．arguing with friendsB．fighting with your parentsC．communicating with parentsD．adjusting to new roles【5】What might be the most suitable title for the passage?A．What do parents control their children for?B．How parents take care of children?C．How to get rid of your parents’ control?D．Why do I fight with parents so much?四、单词拼写根据首字母或中文注释拼写单词：(10空，1空1分，共10分)【1】Why is everything my fault？ Can I d_____________ for myself?.【2】Bob! Shall I e______________ seats with you?【3】The huge windows of the hotel gave us a s________________ view of the beautiful park. 【4】As a good g______________ from a key university,they had no difficulty in finding jobs.【5】How amazing!

It seems just like the lottery(彩票), but better you get fame and money.For me, the dream seemed likely to stay a dream. But everything last week in Beijing. I was eating dinner with some friends. As I was getting ready to pay, a young Chinese woman came running up to me. Iwas that I must have done something horrible to offend(冒犯) her without it.“You are a white man,” she said when she got to our table.“Yes, I am a white man,” I replied.“Can you speak?” she asked.“Yes.”“Oh good.

She needed to find a white guy who spoke English, and I was the only one . My part was to walk from one end of the street to the other, and then the club. When I got to the club, I was supposed to to my friend and say, “Forget about the girl, man. We are here to party!” It took me three tries to say the line or walk without tripping(绊倒), but I got it right.The talent scout ran to me afterward. “You are so . I would like you to join my agency.” I know I am not going to be the next Jay Chou. , it seems that my “star” talents are being white and being able to speak English. , next time you are watching a Chinese movie, look in the .

I had expected to find changes, but nota completely different building. As I walked up the school drive, I wondered for a moment if I had come to the right address. The dirty red brick houses had been swept away. In its place stood a bright, modern block. A huge expanse of glass extended (延展) across the face of the building, and in front, there was a well-kept lawn (草坪) where previously there had been “an untidy gravel (沙石) yard”.I was pleased to find that it was bread time and that the children were all in the playground. This would enable me to meet some members of staff(职员). On entering the building, I was surprised to hear loud laughter coming from what appeared to be the masters’ common room. I could not help remembering the teachers in my time, all dressed in black gowns (长袍) and high collars (领子). And above all, I recalled Mr Garston whom we had nicknamed “Mr Ghastly”, the headmaster who had iron discipline(纪律) on staff and pupils alike. I knocked at the common room door and was welcomed by a smiling young man who introduced himself to me as the headmaster. He was dressed casually in a sports jacket, and his cheerful manner, quickly dispelled (驱散) the image of Mr Ghastly. After I had explained who I was, the headmaster presented me to the teachers all of whom were a little younger than himself, and said he would take me round the school.Here the biggest surprise of all was in store for (在等待)me. Gone were the heavy desks of old with their deeply carved names; gone too, were the dark classrooms with their ink stained, dark brown walls, and their raised platforms for the teachers. The rooms now were painted in bright colors, and the children, far from sitting straight in their places, seemed almost free to do as they liked. I looked with envy(嫉妒) as I remembered how, as a child, I had looked at the blackboard hardly daring to whisper to my neighbor.【1】“Mr Ghastly” must be ______.A．the writer’s teacher B．a serious old manC．the strict headmaster D．a naughty boy【2】 Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．He had expected that the school had completely changed.B．In the writer’s time, all the teachers were dressed in black gowns and high collars.C．There was a well-kept lawn in their school when he visited it.D．An untidy gravel yard had disappeared.【3】 From what is said in the passage, it seems clear that the writer ______.A．disapproved of all the changes that had taken placeB．felt sorry for the children in the schoolC．was glad that the school was still the sameD．felt that conditions at the school had improved a lot2.As children enter their teens, they usually begin to pay more attention to their peers (同龄人) or friends. Peer pressure (压力) can be direct or indirect, but it is almost always present. Learning to deal with peer pressure makes a teen mature (成熟的), and able to get along well with others.Bad peer pressure is when teens feel pressured to do something that they know is wrong, such as smoking, drinking, or drugs (毒品), and it can remain (保持) with them into adulthood. This is the main reason teens have to learn how to deal with it.Some of the things you can do to deal with peer pressure include:● Choose friends who share your values. Good friends use positive (正面的) peer pressure to help you be your best self.● Keep away from situations where people are doing things you don’t want to do.● Think about your reasons for doing things. Are they good reasons? Are you being true to yourself and your values?● Practice ways of saying no, giving excuses if necessary.● Talk to your parents, or other trusted adults, about the kinds of peer pressure you face, and listen to their advice.● Let the adults know when you need help to get out of a bad situation, and don’t know what to do about it. Remember that if just one teen stands up to (对抗) peer pressure, usually others will join him or her. Learning todeal with peer pressure will make you confident and mature.【1】According to the passage, which of the following is true?A．Peer pressure includes direct and indirect pressure.B．Peer pressure comes from smoking, drinking and using drugs.C．Teens facing pressure can’t tell right from wrong.D．Teens who face pressure are more mature than those who don’t【2】Teens should learn to deal with peer pressure mainly because ______.A．it can keep them from making serious mistakesB．it can influence them even when they have grown upC．learning to deal with it can help them get along well with othersD．learning to deal with it can make them mature and confident【3】According to the passage, teens should ______.A．stay away fr om people who don’t share their valuesB．have good reasons for anything they doC．say no more often than yesD．ask adults they trust for help【4】Which column(专栏) of a magazine may the passage be from?A．Social problem.B．School news.C．For teens.D．Science.3.Finished school for the summer? It’s great to kick back and relax after the school year-and you deserve it! －but it might also be the time to start building that resume(履历) to help you impress the college of your choice. Having a great resum e doesn’t just mean getting a summer job; lots of activities can help you stay active and gain valuable experience over the summer months.【1】What is the main benefit of summer activities according to the text?A．To enjoy yourself to the full.B．To enrich your resume.C．To develop certain skills.D．To improve your academic performance.【2】What is the most practical activity to do during summer vacation?A．Getting a job.B．Traveling overseas.C．Doing volunteer work.D．Attending classes.【3】According to the text, “soup kitchens and animal shelters” .A．are places that you can travel toB．might be included in summer coursesC．are recommended（推荐）as part-time jobs for the summerD．can be good volunteer jobs【4】.Why is “taking classes” recommended in the article?A．It only takes a few hours a week.B．It can enrich your career experience.C．It can prepare you for further study.D．It can raise your cultural awareness.4.With the development of society, the choice of food and drinks for children is more diversified(多样化) than ever before. However, every coin has two sides. Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse, according to the statistics(数据统计). I feel there are a number of reasons for this.Some people blame（责怪）the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy, fatty foods, such as fried chicken and ice cream, at low prices. This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves. If there were fewer of these restaurants then probably children would buy less take-away food.There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight. I agree to this, because good eating habits begin early in life, long before children start to visit fast food shops. If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food, or are always allowed to choose what they eat, they will go for sweet and salty foods every time, and this will carry on throughout their lives.There is a third reason for this situation. Children these days take very little exercise. They do not walk to school. When they get home, they sit in front of the television or their computers.

This finding disagrees with the widely held belief that girls always have a good influence on boys in school.Boys do best with as few girls as possible in English lessons at primary and secondary schools, Steven Proud, a resear ch student at Bristol University, told the Royal Economic Society’s conference.But when it comes to math and science, both boys and girls at primary schools achieve up to a tenth of a grade higher when there is a greater percentage of girls in the class, Proud found.Proud kept a record of boys’ and girls’ test results at the ages of 7, 11, and 16 in 16,000 schools in England. He studied the test scores to see whether the percentage of girls made a difference to the results of both boys and girls in math, science and English.Boys always perform worse when the number of girls they study English with increases, which is especially the case at primary schools. Proud also found that girls are unaffected by the number of boys in their English class. Proud said boys may do worse in English when there is high proportion(比例) of girls in their class because they think that the girls are better than them. It could also be that teachers use teaching styles more appropriate(适合) to girls when there are more girls than boys in the class.Proud argues that his results show boys should be taught English in single-sex classes.However, Professor Alan Smithers, director of the Centre for Education and Employment Research at the University of Buckingham, said, “Boys may be discouraged by how well girls are doing in English, but you can’t say that it means boys and girls should be separated. It has very little practical importance to schools.”六、书面表达假如你是校学生会成员，校学生会将为来访的美国朋友举办一个晚会，要在全校通知此事，请你依据如下要点写一则通知：目的：欢迎来访的美国朋友；组织者：学生会；时间：10月18日（星期六）晚上7：30，活动大概持续一个半小时；地点：学校体育馆活动内容：音乐、舞蹈、唱歌、游戏、交换小礼品；参加人员：所有学生，特别是英语俱乐部的成员。

A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers (制造商) to be sure of a product’s quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (口味).Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there’s more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12℉. Harrison explains: “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one its ap pearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes,” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Dose the product have the color expected from that flavor?” Next it’s time to taste!Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy---working at one cool job.【1】What is John Harrison’s job?A．An official.B．An ice-cream taster.C．A chemist.D．An ice-cream manufacturer.【2】According to John Harrison, to be qualified（合格的）in the “cool field”, it is helpful to ________. A．keep a diary of workB．have a degree in related subjectsC．have new ideas every dayD．find out new flavor each day【3】 What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?A．He stirs the ice cream.B．He examines the color of the ice cream.C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.D．He lets the ice cream warm up.【4】Which of the following is probably the best title of the passage?A．Tasting with Eyes B．Flavors of Ice CreamC．John Harrison’s Life D．One Cool Job2.The World Health Organization (WHO) planned to study the relationship between the eating habits of the people and the disease. Two doctors were chosen to make the study. They flew to Africa south of the Sahara and during the next two months visited ten countries. They found that serious diseases of poor eating, often mistaken for other diseases, existed in all parts of Africa. The diseases were similar and could therefore all be named kwashiorkor. The diseased children are usually from one to four years old. As the illness progresses, the child’s stomach becomes swollen by liquid collecting in the body. The skin changes color and may break out in open sores（疼痛）. The hair changes color and starts to fall out. The patient loses all interest in his surroundings and even in food, and becomes so weak that he wants to lie down all the time. Stomach liquids are no longer produced.The doctors reasoned that kwashiorkor was found in the young children of this age in many parts of Africa because of lack of milk or meat. Their mothers, after stopping their breastfeeding, gave them foods full of starches（淀粉）instead of greatly needed proteins. They found that the addition of milk to the food of the children suffering from kwashiorkor saved many lives.The unbelievable thing about kwashiorkor is that the very existence of the disease—which has been killing thousands of children for centuries—was not even recognized in Latin America as recently as ten years ago. Thedeaths of those children were mistakenly listed as due to ot her diseases. It was the WHO’s work in Africa that led to the discovery of the problem in Central America.【1】From the passage we learn that kwashiorkor is a disease caused by __________ .A．poor living conditions B．lack of proteins in foodC．breastfeeding D．lack of food【2】 It is difficult to discover kwashiorkor because ____________________ .A．it has no symptoms at allB．it is hard to identify signs of itC．it doesn’t last long enough for careful observationD．it is hardly different from other diseases【3】What is mentioned as a simple but reasonable way of curing this disease?A．Taking a special medicine.B．Avoiding any food containing starch.C．Having more meat or milk.D．Taking medicine full of proteins.【4】What’s the best title for the article?A．Milk and Meat Are Daily NecessitiesB．Kwashiorkor and Improper Eating HabitsC．A New Form of Illness in Africa and Latin AmericaD．A Case of Eating Habits3.Tim Burton attempts to work his gothic magic over one of the best loved stories of all time—Lewis Carroll’s Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland and Through the Looking-Glass and What Alice Found There.Alice, now 19, attends a party at a Victorian estate, only to find she is about to be proposed to by a rich suitor（求婚者）in front of hundreds of snooty（傲慢的）society types. She runs off, following a white rabbit into a hole and ending up in Wonderland—a place she visited many years before, yet she doesn’t remember. Thewhite rabbit claims to have come back for Alice because she is the only one who can slay（杀死)the Jabberwock, the beast who guards the Red Queen’s empire. Alice remains completely unaware of why she is in Wonderland, and is confused about the fact that she had once visited Wonderland years before.Now, Wonderland has changed into a dark, scarier place than it used to be. Alice then embarks on an adventure of self discovery, and to save Wonderland from the Red Queen’s reign（统治）of terror with the help of her Wonderland friends.【1】The story Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was written by____________.A．Tim Burton B．Lewis Carroll C．Alice D．the passage doesn’t tell us【2】 Alice runs off because maybe___________. A．she doesn’t like that partyB．she is too snootyC．she doesn’t like the suitorD．she wants to get married【3】In the last paragraph, the phrase “embarks on” means _________.A．starts to do somethingB．gets onto a shipC．refuses to do somethingD．finds something【4】This passage would most likely to be found __________.A．on a film posterB．in a government documentC．in a novelD．in an entertainment magazine4.The Taj Mahal (泰姬陵) is a love story, a sad and beautiful one. If it didn’t exist, we would easily imagine that the story of its construction was simply a fairy tale. Three hundred years ago, there lived an Indian emperor called Shah Jahan. His wife was a beautiful and bright woman whom he loved greatly. Her title was Mumtazl Mahal: its shortened form Taj Mahal, means “pride of the palace”. In the year 1630 this beloved wife of the emperor died. He was so brokenhearted that he thought of giving up his throne. He decided out of his love for his wife, to build her the most beautiful tomb that had ever been seen.He summoned the best artists and architects from India, Turkey, Persia and Arabia and finally, the design was complete. It took more than twenty thousand men working over a period of 18 years to build the Taj Mahal, one of the most beautiful buildings in the world.The building itself stands on a marble platform 29 meters square and 6-7 meters high. Towers rise from each of the four corners. The Mahal itself soars another 61 meters into the air. It is an eight-sided building made of white marble.The emperor planned to build an identical tomb of black marble for himself on the other side of the river connected by a silver bridge. However, his son put him into a prison in the palace before he could finish, and for the rest of his life, he could only gaze across the river at the tomb of his beloved wife.【1】 The whole passage tells us about ______.A．a beautiful fairy taleB．the story of the Taj MahalC．white and black marble tombs made for two emperorsD．the love story of Emperor Shah Jahan and his wife【2】Which of the following statements is NOT true about the Taj Mahal?A．It was completed quickly owing to the efforts of the best artists and workers.B．A lot of people took part in the building work.C．It is a magnificent building.D．It is a tomb for the emperor’s beloved wife.【3】The emperor’s own tomb was designed to be ____________.A．61 meters high B．eight-sided C．black-colored D．white-colored【4】The emperor _____________.A．died soon after Taj Mahal diedB．was killed by his sonC．was beloved by his peopleD．died after 16485.Mark Twain left school when he was twelve. He had little school education. In spite of this, he became the most famous writer of his time. He made millions of dollars by writing. His real name was Samuel Langhorne Clemens, but he is better known all over the world as Mark Twain, his penname.Mark Twain was born in 1835 and he was not a healthy baby. In fact, he was not expected to live through the first winter. But with his mother’s care, he managed to survive. As a boy, he caused much trouble for his paren ts. He used to play jokes on all his friends and neighbors. He didn’t like to go to school, and he often ran away from home. He always went in the direction of the nearby Mississippi(密西西比河).

This way of teaching allows the students to develop their own interests in many subjects. Open education allows students to be responsible for their own education. Some students do badly in traditional classrooms. The open classroom may allow them to enjoy learning. Some students will be happier in an open education school. They will not have to worry about grades or rules.But many students will not do well in an open classroom. For some students, there are too few rules. These students will do little in school. They will not make good use of open education. Because open education is so different from traditional education, these students may have a problem of getting used to making so many choices. For many students it is important to have some rules in the classroom. They worry about the rules even when there are no rules. Even a few rules will help this kind of students. The last point about open education is that some traditional teachers do not like it. Many teachers do not believe in open education. Teachers who want to have an open classroom may have many problems at their school.You now know what open education is. Some of its good points and bad points have been explained. You may have your own opinion about open education. The writer thinks that open education is a good idea, but only in theory. In actual fact, it may not work very well in a real class or school. The writer believes that most students, but of course not all students, want some structure in their classes. They want and need to have some rules. In some cases, they must be made to study some subjects. Many students are pleased to find subjects they have to study interesting. They would not study those subjects if they did not have to.Title: Open Education五、书面表达近年来中国中学生中出现了“出国学习热”，成千上万的中学生已经去国外学习，而许多其他学生还一直在设法出国，对此人们有不同的看法。

AOn Sunday morning，after listening to a sermon(布道) about making “A World of Difference”, we stopped at the gas station for a snack and drinks.When we pulled in to the parking lot we noticed a young girl sitting on the road. She was outside in January , in the Midwest, with only a sweatshirt. No coat or gloves. She didn’t look very happy.I approached her and asked if she was okay. She said yes and told me that she had run out of gas down the road, walked to the gas station, and was now waiting for someone to bring her a gas can and a little money so she could get her car running again. By the look on her face I thought she had been waiting for a while.I，hesitantly，asked if we could give her a lift somewhere . I was fearful that she might be worried about our intentions. She graciously(有礼貌地) refused and said she would simply wait.I went inside the gas stati on to pick up the items we had come for, but I couldn’t stop thinking about the young girl sitting outside in the cold and wished I could do something to help her. So I bought a gift certificate for her. With it she could either buy the gasoline she said she needed or she could at least go inside and purchase a drink and some food to keep her warm while she waited for someone to come to get her.She was so surprised when I handed her the gift certificate.Walking away I got the feeling that help didn’t come her way very often. She was very thankful for the gift certificate --- but I thought it did just as much to lift my spirits as it did hers!21. Why did the young girl wait on the road?A. Because she waited for her friends.B. Because her gas had given out and she waited for someone to help her.C. Because she wanted to buy some food.D. Because she wanted to borrow some money.22. Where did the author go on Sunday morning?A: The nursing home. B. The shop. C. The hospital. D. The church.23. What can we learn from the last paragraph?A. People often helped the young girl.B. The author regretted having helped the young girl later.C. The young girl seldom helped others.D. People seldom helped the young girl like the author.24. How did the author help her?A. The author bought her a certificate that she needed.B. The author helped her to borrow the gas.C. The author bought her some food and drinks.D. The author bought her a coat.BGood relationships are definitely good sources of happiness in life. We all want happy relationships but if we do not keep that relationship alive，it can also be one of the most distraught things in life. There may be no hard and fast rules in making good relationships, as each of us has different preferences and points of view as to what is a great relationship. The following are some major key players in making relationships work.It is often said that building good relationships is all about communication. Good communication indeed governs a good relationship-knowing the right thing to say，when to say it，how to say it，and accepting some things that are better left unsaid. I personally think communication must be broadened because relationships involve more decisions to make. From study to work，from money to entertainment and even in things about yourself or about your friends that you do not know, communication is essential in these aspects of the relationships.Of course, being with someone is not saying that you totally agree with him or her all the time. You and your friends come from different family backgrounds，raised in different environments so there may be disagreements here and there. However, it is important in making relationships work to express disagreements without pushing the relationship to end. Again, good communication and learning to compromise(妥协)at times are essential.As relationships last longer, you may also discover things about you and your friends that you may not have known before. Therefore，supporting each other on both your "hidden selves" can also make a good relationship.Love is an important aspect of building relationships and for me，I always believe that love needs open communication, respect，support and understanding each other in making relationships work.25. The underlined word “distraught” in Paragraph 1 probably meansA. upsettingB. surprisingC. funnyD. helpless26. To communicate well with people, you should know thatA. your friends need to have the same backgrounds with youB. compromises are essential at any timeC. a white lie is necessary sometimesD. supporting each other in anything helps build a good relationship27. According to the text，which of the following are important for a good relationship'?a. communicationb. supportc. hidden selvesd. loveA. abdB. acdC. bcdD. abc28. What would be the best title for the text ?A. The importance to express disagreementsB. Forbidden rules in building good relationshipsC. Different opinions on good relationshipsD. Keys to making relationships workCSpeaking two languages can actually help offset(抵消) some effects of aging on the brain, a new study has found.Researchers tested how long it took participants to switch from one cognitive(认知的)task to another, something that's known to take longer for older adults, said the lead researcher, Brian Gold，a neuroscientist at the University of Kentucky.Gold's team compared task-switching speeds for younger and older adults，knowing they would find slower speeds in the older population because of previous studies. However，they found older adults speaking two languages were able to switch mental activities faster than those who didn't. The study only looked at lifelong bilinguals(会说两种语言的人)，defined in the study as peoplespeaking a second language daily since they were at least 10 years old.First，Gold and his team asked 30 people，either bilingual or monolingual，to look at a series of colored shapes and respond with the name of each shape by pushing a button. Then，they presented the participants with a similar series of colored shapes and asked them to respond with what colors the shapes were by pushing a button. Finally，they presented participants with a series of colored shapes, but they mixed prompts(提词) for either a shape or a color to test participants' task-switching time.The bilingual people were able to respond faster to the moving prompts. Researchers found bilingual people~not only able to switch tasks faster一they had different brain activities compared with their monolingual peers.Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment"，because people grow up speaking two languages，and studies have shown that they get certain cognitive benefits from switching between languages and determining which to respond with based on what's going on around them.Gold said he grew up in Montreal，where he spoke French at school and English at home，prompting relatives to question whether his French language attention would somehow stop his ability to learn English.“Until recently，learning a second language in childhood was thought of as dangerous，”he said, “Actually, it's beneficial.”29. Krishna called bilingualism a ”beautiful natural experiment" becauseA. people speaking two languages are beautifulB. people speaking two languages are naturalC. people speaking two languages like the experimentD. people grow up, benefiting from speaking two languages30. Gold's relatives were puzzled when he spoke French at school and English at home becauseA. they thought it would affect his progressB. they thought it would be of little help to himC. they were afraid that learning French would affect his English learningD. they thought that French was useless31. What's the main idea of the passage?A. Researchers found bilingual people respond slowly.B. Researchers found bilinguals can slow down the speed of aging on the brain and respond fast.C. Researchers found bilinguals are great.D. Researchers found speaking two languages is very important.32. We can learn from the last paragraph that learning a second language in childhood isA. not beneficial to childrenB. dangerous but beneficial to childrenC. not dangerous but beneficial to childrenD. dangerous to childrenDJanelle was running late for work, so she just had time for a quick look at herself in the mirror as she was going out. What she saw there made her stop dead in her tracks.Being a busy college student just one year removed from her teenage years, sh e wasn’t exactly obsessive-compulsive(有强迫观念和行为的) about the neatness of her clothes. But her boss at the restaurant where she works saw things a little differently. He had recently lectured the entire staff on the importance of appearance, and had specifically mentioned the need for servers to wear clean, unwrinkled blouses. As an assistant manager, Janelle felt it was important to set an example for the other employees. But if she stopped to iron the blouse normally, she would be late —and work without delay was an area of even greater concern to her boss.So she grabbed her iron and plugged it in and set it for low heat. Carefully holding her blouse away from her body, she continued to iron it while she was wearing it. It seemed like a logical answer to an urgent problem.And it seemed to be working until Janelle tried to iron the collar and accidentally ironed her neck by mistake. Then it suddenly seemed like a really stupid idea and a really painful one as well. It took more time to treat her burn than it would have taken to iron her shirt properly. And she spent a miserable shift dealing with the pain of the burn.We’ve all been there, haven’t we? For me it was cutting my own hair. For a former roommate it was trying to pull his own wisdom teeth. For another college acquaintance, it was trying to change the oil in his car while the motor was still running.“There’s a right way and a wrong way of doing things,” Dad used to tell me whenever I’d spoil the look of our yard by trying out a faster, easier and more creative way of pulling weeds or edging the lawn. “If a thing is worth doing,” he said, “it’s worth doing it right.” There’s a reason why certain things are done in certain ways. Those old, boring, predictable ways work.33．It’s learned from Paragraph 2 that______________.A．Jenelle had no sense of responsibility at workB．Jenelle failed to set an example for employees in daily workC．Jenelle’s boss put doing something on time above appearanceD．Jenelle didn’t care about the neatness of her clothes at all34．What can we infer from the fifth paragraph?A．We all have tried to iron clothes while we are wearing them.B．We are careful enough in daily life.C．We all have done something creative.D．We all have done loads of things like Janelle.35．What does the author mainly want to tell readers in the last paragraph ?A．Be creative. B．Do things right.C．Stick to old ways. D．A bad beginning makes a bad ending.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They cannot or will not express it. This is called repressing(抑制) anger.For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones(荷尔蒙)，They speed the heart rate，raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ____37_____. Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease，and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.38 They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize thereal cause of the anger，then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about.If it is, they say,“ 39 Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that hasmade you angry. 40____.A.
