I was aimlessly wandering down the street, heading into a most gloriously beautiful sunset. I had an urge to speak to someone on the street to share that beauty, but it seemed everyone was in a hurry.I took the next-best action. Quickly I ducked into a department store and asked the lady behind the counter if she could come outside for just a minute. She looked at me as though I were from some other planet. She hesitated, and then seemingly against her better judgment, she moved toward the door.When she got outside I said to her, “Just look at that sunset! Nobody out here was looking at it and I just had to share it with someone.”For a few seconds we just looked. Then I said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world.” I tha nked her for coming out to see it; she went back inside and I left. It felt good to share the beauty.Four years later my situation changed greatly. I came to the end of a twenty-year marriage. I was alone and on my own for the first time in my life. I lived in a trailer park which, at the time, I considered a real come-down, and I had to do my wash in the community laundry room.One day, while my clothes were going around, I picked up a magazine and read an article about a woman who had been in similar circumstances. She had come to the end of a marriage, moved to a strange community, and the only job she could find was one she disliked: clothing sales in a department store.Then something that happened to her changed everything. She said a woman came into her department store and asked her to step outside to look at a sunset. The stranger had said, “God is in his heaven and all is right with the world,” and she had realized the truth in that statement. From that moment on, she turned her life around.【1】The author asked the woman to go outside to ______.A．admire the sunset B．cheer her up C．offer some help D．have a chat【2】Four years later, the author ______.A．found her dream jobB．put an end to her marriageC．worked in a laundry roomD．lived in the same community【3】After reading the article in the magazine, the author was probably______.A．disappointed B．puzzled C．inspired D．overjoyed2.There is a lot of talk these days about how kids should be interested in science. Here’s an area of science for everyone, and these cool new books might inspire you to discover your inner scientist.Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled by Catherine Thimmesh, 58 pages, ages 9-12Seeing a picture or a model of a dinosaur, do you wonder how anybody knows what they look like? After all, nobody has seen a living dinosaur. This book explains how scientists and artists work together to re-createdinosaurs. As scientific discoveries have been made, the models have changed. Scientific tests may one day expose what a dinosaur’s coloring was, but now artists have to use their imagination to determine how these huge creatures looked.Beyond the Solar System by Mary Kay Carson, 128 pages, ages 10-13This book takes readers back to the beginnings of space exploration—thousands of years ago, when people began star observation—and forward to today’s search for planets in distant parts of the Milky Way. Along with history lessons, readers get 21 activities, such as making a black hole and creating a model of Albert Einstein’s universe using a T-shirt. The activities are perfect for cold winter days.Ultimate Bugopedia by Darlyne Murawski and Nancy Honovich, 272 pages, ages 7 and olderIf you’re always on the lookout for butterflies, this book is for you. Hundreds of color photos of common and unusual insects fill this hardcover. There are fascinating stories related to the photos. For example, do you know an insect feeds on the tear s of Asian cattle? There’s a question-and-answer section with an insect scientist and advice on how to help preserve endangered insects.Journey Into the Invisible by Christine Schlitt, 80 pages, ages 9-12If you use a magnifying（放大的）glass, you know a leaf looks quite different. This book explains what microscopes do and then shows what happens to things around the house when watched with this amazing scientific tool. The bacteria in your mouth, when magnified 20,000 times, look a bit like swimming pool noodles. Fascinating photos are paired with suggestions about how to learn about the world around you, just by looking a little closer.【1】Kids interested in pre-historical animals might read ______.A．Ultimate BugopediaB．Beyond the Solar SystemC．Journey Into the InvisibleD．Scaly Spotted Feathered Frilled【2】Beyond the Solar System is mainly about ______.A．space explorationB．the Milky WayC．history lessonsD．Albert Einstein’s universe【3】From the passage, we can learn that ______.A．butterflies are fond of the tears of Asian cattleB．scientists have discovered the dinosaur’s coloringC．microscopes can present you with an amazing worldD．man has explored the black hole for thousands of years【4】The main purpose of the passage is to ______.A．compare features of different booksB．inspire people to become scientistsC．teach children some knowledge of scienceD．recommend new science books to children3.Johnny the ExplorerJohnny was three when he ran away from home for the first time. Somebody left the garden gate open. Johnny wandered out, crossed some fields and, two hours later, arrived in the next village. He was just able to give his name and address.By the time he was seven, Johnny used to disappear from home two to three times a year. Sometimes he covered quite long distances on foot. Sometimes he got on a bus or even a train, and simply sat there until someone asked for his ticket. Generally the police brought him h ome. “Why do you do it?” they used to ask. “I just like seeing places,” Johnny told them.Johnny continued to “see places” although everyone tried to stop him. His parents used to watch him closely, and so did his teachers; but sooner or later Johnny managed to slip away. As he grew older, his favorite trick was to hide on a long distance truck. Sometimes he travelled hundreds of miles before anyone discovered him.It is hardly surprising that eventually Johnny managed to board a plane. He was twelve at the time. It was a cargo plane and, a few hours later, Johnny found himself in Cairo. How did he get on board? No one knows! According to Johnny himself, it was easy: he just went into the airport, walked along some passages and got on board the nearest plane.In spite of all this, Johnny did well at school. He enjoyed mathematics and languages and, perhaps not surprisingly, he was especially good at geography. “What do you want to be when you grow up?” his teachers asked him. “An explorer!” he answered. “But it’s difficult to become an explorer in this modern age,” they tried to tell him. But it was no use: Johnny knew what he wanted!Just before he left school, Johnny saw a notice in a daily paper. A long journey was about to go to Brazil to travel up the Ama zon River. There were jobs for three young people “willing to work hard and with a sense of adventure”. Johnny applied, and two months later, he was on his way to Brazil.【1】At what age did Johnny board a plane for the first time?A．Three B．Seven C．Twelve D．Not mentioned【2】Johnny frequently left home because ______.A．he preferred to stay aloneB．he enjoyed seeing new placesC．he couldn’t do well at schoolD．he didn’t get along well with his parents【3】People around Johnny ______.A．tried to stop him from slipping awayB．kept following him to get him backC．booked tickets for him if necessaryD．were clear about how he travelled abroad【4】From the passage, we can learn that ______.A．Johnny worked for a daily paperB．Johnny lacked a sense of adventureC．Johnny went exploring along the Amazon RiverD．Johnny went to Brazil two months after he finished school4.Everywhere I look outside my home I see people busy on their high-tech devices, while driving, walking, shopping, even sitting in toilets. When connected electronically, they are away from physical reality.People have been influenced to become technology addicted. One survey reported that “addicted” was the word most commonly used by people to describe their relationship to iPad and similar devices. One study found that people had a harder time resisting the allure of social media than they did for sleep, cigarettes and alcohol.The main goal of technology companies is to get people to spend more money and time on their products, not to actually improve our quality of life. They have successfully created a cultural disease. Consumers willingly give up their freedom, money and time to catch up on the latest information, to keep pace with their peers or to appear modern.I see people trapped in a pathological（病态的）relationship with time-sucking technology, where they serve technology more than technology serves them. I call this technology servitude. I am referring to a loss of personal freedom and independence because of uncontrolled consumption of many kinds of devices that eat up time and money.What is a healthy use of technology devices? That is the vital question. Who is really in charge of my life? That is what people need to ask themselves if we are to have any chance of breaking up false beliefs about their use of technology. When we can live happily without using so much technology for a day or a week, then we can regain control and personal freedom, become the master of technology and discover what there is to enjoy in life free of technology. Mae West is famous for proclaiming the wisdom that “too much of a good thing is wonderful.”But it’s time to discover that it does not work for technology.Richard Fernandez, an executive coach at Google acknowledge d that “we can be swept away by our technologies.” To break the grand digital connection people must consider how life long ago could be fantasticwithout today’s overused technology.【1】The underlined word “allure” in Paragraph 2 probably means ______.A．advantage B．attraction C． adaption D．attempt【2】From the passage, technology companies aim to ______.A．attract people to buy their productsB．provide the latest informationC．improve people’s quality of lifeD．deal with cultural diseases【3】It can be inferred from this passage that people ______.A．consider too much technology wonderfulB．have realized the harm of high-tech devicesC．can regain freedom without high-tech devicesD．may enjoy life better without overused technology【4】What’s the author’s attitude towards the overusing of high-tech devices?A．Neutral.( 中立的）B．DoubtfulC．Disapproving.(不赞成）D．Sympathetic.（同情的）5.Puppy FoodA puppy (young dog) is a precious addition to any family. The excitement of bringing home a little furry friend will always live in our memories. Like all of us, though, your puppy must have adequate nutrition（营养） right from the start to make certain that it’ll have a long and healthy life.【1】 You might ask yourself what is the best for your new pet with all of the different varieties on the market in all of their attractive packaging. Some dry food produced specially for puppies is the best for the development of their teeth.【2】Contrary to the belief of many first-time puppy owners, it is not always the best idea to purchase food that is too high in calcium (钙), protein, and vitamin levels.【3】 In addition, a high intake of calcium is associated with bone disease in large-breed dogs. If you have a “small-breed” puppy, you can buy that kind of food.It is not a good idea to feed the food you eat to your puppy frequently, as your puppy may become selective about food.【4】 Some people think that dog biscuits and other treats are fine, but they should not be a main part of puppy’s diet.Young puppies should be fed three times a day. Each puppy is unique, however, so feeding them twice a day is acceptable. After ten to twelve weeks of age, feed your puppy twice per day. Allow your puppy to eat as much as he would like in fifteen minutes.【5】 If you let your puppy eat too much or too often by keeping food accessible at all times, he may become overweight and have health problems as an adult. Like humans, your puppy will not enjoy the food any longer if it is there at all times.A．Pick up the dish with the remaining food.B．Proper food is a basic necessity for your puppies.C．Remember to give your puppy the food he would like to have.D．It can also cause an upset stomach due to an unbalanced diet.E. A further benefit is that it is less expensive than the canned food.F. One example is that extra helpings of nutrients do harm to digestive organs.G. It’s good to provide the extra nutrient s a puppy needs until he grows larger.四、书面表达1.你们班同学打算周六去爬香山。

AThe Best Time to Visit These Pricey DestinationsIf you’re going to shell out on a vacation, then you might as well do it right. With that in mind, we’ve asked a few experts for tips on when to visit some of the most expensive places across the globe. Here’s what they had to say.BotswanaHotels in Botswana are second only to Dubai in terms of average cost per person, per night, at around $257. To make the most of your time there, consider an autumn visit, suggests Sarah Faith of Responsible Travel. “The heat peaks in October—this is the best time to go and see wild animals as they gather around in the Okavango Delta”, says Faith. While wildlife viewing is incredible in Botswana, there’s much to enjoy away from the wilderness, too.”New York CityNew York is the second-most expensive holiday destination overall and the most expensive place to dine out, with an average meal for two costing around $67. Garrett, the CEO of Discover New York, suggests, “October and June have gorgeous weather, so outdoor activities a re a good choice, with sailing, in-depth neighborhood walks and biking.” For great value, she advisestraveling in January and February, when the city offers tons of indoor activities, from art galleries and Broadway shows to indoor sports events and thousands of dining options.SydneyWith its incredible surfing beaches, dining scene and friendly locals, Sydney is always a favorite of travelers. It’s also expensive. Generally, the shoulder seasons (fall and spring in the U.S.) have the most comfortable weather and fewer crowds than the December-to-February high season. But some months have particular appeal, according to Stuart Rigg, Australian travel specialist for Southern Crossings. April, for example, falls into the low season, which means you’ll find h otel deals along with weather that’s typically “very pleasant,” Rigg says. “Sydney also has some great events during this low season period,” he adds.LondonPetulia Melideo, who runs Context’s London walking tours, advises booking well in advance for lowe r hotel rates, and suggests a wintry visit. “November is a great time for London. The weather is still tolerable—and if it gets too chilly, there are plenty of cozy pubs to pop into,” she says. Other good times to visit include June, which means fewer tourists.1. According to the passage, October is the best time to travel to________.A. New York and BotswanaB. London and SydneyC. New York and LondonD. Sydney and Botswana2. Visitors to Sydney __________.A. may find cheap hotels in the shoulder seasonsB. can enjoy wonderful beaches and dining sceneC. will experience the most comfortable weather in DecemberD. should avoid the low season because of the unpleasant weather3. Which is the desirable month if you’d like to visit London without too ma ny crowds?A. April.B. June.C. November.D. December.【答案】1. A 2. B 3. B【解析】本文介绍参观这些昂贵的目的地的最佳时间。

I knew he loved me and his love was deep. He just didn’t know how to it. One evening we went out for a night on the town．We were sitting in an elegant restaurant that had a small but lively ．When it played a familiar waltz tune I decided to my father for a dance. “Dad, you know I’venever with you before. I begged you but you wanted to. How about right now?” I waited forthe refusal．But instead, he considered thoughtfully and then said, “Let’s hit the floor and I’ll you just what kind of moves an old guy like me can still make.” My father took me in his and I felt overcome by emotion. As we danced I looked up at my father carefully but he my eyes. “Dad,” I finally , tears in my eyes, “Why is it so hard for you to look at me?” At last his eyes dropped to my face．“ I love you so much.” he whispered back．I was struck dumb by his ．It wasn’t what I had tho ught．But it was of course exactly what I needed to ．I had always known that he loved me. I just hadn’t understood that his vast emotion had him and made him silent．“I love you too, Dad!” I whispered back softly．He stumbled （结结巴巴地说) over the next few words: “I’m sorry that I’m not open. It’s for me, but just remember how much I love you.” When the dance ended Iexcused myself to the ladies’ room and during my absence changed．When I came back, Dad sat in his chair his body leaning forward, very pale．Everything was really too late．He was ．That night all I saw was his leaning body and pale face．But it’s a totally different scene that I now．I remember his saying “I love you” and my saying it back．The three words on forever long after we are gone．【1】A．answer B．express C．mention D．understand【2】A．band B．hall C．sofa D．bar【3】A．invite B．teach C．help D．show【4】A．chatted B．sang C．danced D．stayed【5】A．still B．even C．also D．never【6】A．final B．normal C．rough D．usual【7】A．tell B．show C．ask D．explain【8】A．arms B．hands C．heart D．mind【9】A．noticed B．ignored C．avoided D．greeted【10】A．complained B．whispered C．explained D．shouted【11】A．Because B．Though C．If D．While【12】A．response B．advise C．promise D．excuse【13】A．find B．know C．hear D．think【14】A．surprised B．pleased C．inspired D．frightened【15】A．clear B．important C．impossible D．hard【16】A．everything B．something C．nothing D．anything【17】A．for B．with C．on D．from【18】A．moved B．tired C．lost D．gone【19】A．discover B．remember C．remind D．consider【20】A．depend B．carry C．live D．take三、阅读理解1.Cold weather can be hard on pets, just like it can be hard on people. Sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. Some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. This can put their pets in danger of serious illness. There are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.Keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. If you have to take them out, stay outside with them. When you’re cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. If you must leave them outside for along time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.If left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. They can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. Watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. Keep an eye on your pet’s water. Sometimes owners don’t realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet can’t get anything to drink. Animals that don’t have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.【1】 What do we learn about pets from Paragraph 1?A．They are often forgotten by their owners.B．They are used to living outdoors.C．They build their own shelter.D．They like to stay in warm places.【2】 Why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?A．To know when to bring them inside.B．To keep them from eating bad food.C．To help them find shelters.D．To keep them company.【3】What is the purpose of this text?A．To solve a problem.B．To give practical advice.C．To tell an interesting story.D．To present a research result.2.You may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. You do not need to be strong. But you need to be quick. And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat. The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail. Let’s start with the wind blowing from the behind. This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. It should be at a 90° angle (角度) to the boat. Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. It should be at a 45° angle to the boat. It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn’t flap (摆动). It shouldn’t look like on a flagpole. If it i s flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing into the wind is not possible. If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. You may want to go in that direction. It is possible, but you can’t go in a straight line. Yo u must go first in one direction and then in another. This is called tacking. When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.【1】 What should you consider first while sailing?A．Sailors’ strength.B．Wave levels.C．Wind directions.D．Size of sails.【2】What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．The boat.B．The wind.C．The sail.D．The angle.【3】 What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A．Move in a straight line.B．Allow the sail to flap.C．Lower the sail.D．Tack the boat.【4】 Where can you probably find the text?A．In a popular magazine.B．In a tourist guidebook.C．In a physics textbook.D．In an official report.3.Facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. For example, in American culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. Yet it also has other uses. A woman’s smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. A smile may show love or politeness. It can also hide true feelings. It often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. For example, many people in Russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. Yet many Americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). Some Russians believe that Americans smile in the wrong places; some Americans believe that Russians don’t smile enough. In Southeast Asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. Vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.Our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” so meone from our own culture. The fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. Rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. For example, in public and in formal situations many Japanese do not show their emotions as freely as Americans do. When with friends, Japanese and Americans seem to show their emotions similarly.It is difficult to generalize about Americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the United States. People from certain cultural backgrounds in the United States seem to be more facially expressive than others. The key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. If we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.【1】 What does the smile usually mean in the U.S?A．Love.B．Politeness.C．Joy.D．Thankfulness.【2】 The author mentions the smile of the Vietnamese to prove that smile can ___ .A．show friendliness to strangersB．be used to hide true feelingsC．be used in the wrong placesD．show personal habits【3】What should we do before attempting to “read” people?A．Learn about their relations with others.B．Understand their cultural backgrounds.C．Find out about their past experience.D．Figure out what they will do next.【4】What would be the best title for the test?A．Cultural Differences B．Smiles and RelationshipC．Facial Expressiveness D．Habits and Emotions4.Make Up Your Mind to SucceedKind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. The generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyone’s winner.” And their report cards sounde d more positive (正面的) than ever before. As a result, Stanford University professor Carol Dweck, PhD, calls them “the overpraised generation.”Dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. Her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. Here’s how they work:A fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic –you’re a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. The fixed mind-set believes he’s sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. When things get difficult, he’s quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties. On the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. Because the ego (自尊) isn’t on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. When faced with a difficulty, he’s quick to rethink, change and try again. In fact, he enjoys this experience.We are all born with growth mind-sets. (Otherwise, we wouldn’t be able to live in the world.) But parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. Dweck’s book, Mind-set: The New Psychology of Success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. But she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.【1】 What does the author think about the present generation?A．They don’t do well at school.B．They are often misunderstood.C．They are eager to win in sports.D．They are given too much praise.【2】A fixed mind-set person is probably one who ___ .A．doesn’t want to work hardB．cares a lot about personal safetyC．cannot share his ideas with othersD．can succeed with the help of teachers【3】What does the growth mind-set believe?A．Admitting failure is shameful.B．Talent comes with one’s birth.C．Scores should be highly valued.D．Getting over difficulties is enjoyable.【4】What should parents do for their children based on Dweck’s study?A．Encourage them to learn from failures.B．Prevent them from making mistakes.C．Guide them in doing little things.D．Help them grow with praise.四、其他1.Friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often don’t clearly understand how we make friends. While we get on well with a number of people, 【1】 . Moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. In all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly.At the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. As we get to know people,【2】 . Although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age and background.Then,【3】 . Friends will stand closer together and will spend more time looking at each other than ordinary friends. Smiles and soft voices also express friendliness, and it is because they may give the wrong signals that shy people often have difficulty making friends. A friendly look with a wrong facial expression can turn into an unfriendly stare, and nervousness may be wrongly understood as unfriendliness.Some relationships are a result of argument and discussion, but it is usual for close friends to have the same ideas and beliefs, the same opinion and interests. The more closely involved people become, the more they depend on each other. And【4】 . Equally, friends have to learn to make allowances for each other, to put up with annoying habits, and to accept differences in opinion.In contrast with marriage,【5】 . But the support and understanding that results from shared experiences and affections does seem to create a close and lasting relationship.A．we are usually friends with only a fewB．many factors can affect friendship and relationshipC．people want to do friends favors and hate to let them downD．argument and discussion can improve personal relationshipsE. we consider things like age, race, looks, economic and social status, etcF. we pay attention to actual behavior, facial expression, and the way a person speaksG. there are no friendship ceremonies to strengthen the relationship between two people2.翻译句子 (共5小题, 每小题1分, 共5分)【1】他每天要花6分钟时间删除垃圾邮件.
