并在答题卡上将该选项涂黑．AI have dreamt of taking a trip to Hawaii since I graduated, but the best thing always needs waiting. I took a trip with my friends to Haleakala National Park, which lies in Hawaii.When we arrived at Haleakala National Park, we were suggested to watch the early morning sunrise. I was lost in the sightseeing that afternoon, so I could hardly wait to meet the sunrise. In the next morning, we all jumped out of the bed very early at 3 o’clock and walked to the rocks by the seaside. In the first half an hour, we imagined how wonderful it would be when the first light came out through the thick clouds and how soft it would be when the light touched our skin, so we waited and waited. However, another half an hour later, I gradually lost my patience since there was nothing but the chilly darkness, and I felt that I was frozen to death. But my friends were still extremely cheerful.Nearly another one hour later, “Amazing!”, a word burst out from Judy and we all shouted to welcome the light orange greatness, which is really unbelievable. Until today, I dare say that it is the most impressive sunrise in my life. However, waiting in the morning darkness is also the one I can not wipe out forever.Waiting sometimes is really a hard thing for most of us as it needs patience and strong-willed determination, but what about the result after that? It might turn out to be pleased, unbelievable and satisfied. So, it is really worthwhile to wait for the best. (268 words)21. What can we learn from the passage?A.

Which one is the main reason for teens drinking?A. pressureB. anxietyC. rebellingD. sadness31. What can we get from paragraph three?A. you can vote when you are 16.B. you must go to military when you are 18.C. alcohol was not difficult for teens to get.D. alcohol is legal for teens to purchase in America.32. What does the passage mainly tell us?A. the biggest reason for teens’ alcohol drinking.B.Drinking age should be lowered in America.C.Drinking age should be higher in America.D. the bad results of drinking alcohol for teens.CPeople use alcohol（酒精） for many reasons; peer pressure, celebration, anxiety, sadness etc. The present legal drinking age is twenty-one in America, but illegally drinking age is as low as zero. Why? It is the main question asked. I’m sure that the drinking age percentage would drop if the age is lowered.Few reasons for teens drinking are: peer pressure, enjoyment, etc. But the main reason for doing so is “breaking the law.” 87% of high school seniors have used alcohol. That means that a large quantity of teens under the age of seventeen to eighteen have used alcohol before. We all know why teens drink, Just the feel that they get of breaking the law. Being rebel(反叛的) and not following the rules is an important role of a teen’s life.However, it is illegal for young teens to buy it, they are able to get it through their parent’s own liquor cabinets or older friends who buy it for them. As we all see, it is not hard for teens to get alcohol. We have all heard of the famous saying “we want you to join the army and protect your country.” Well, you are telling me that I can legally kill someone at the age of eighte en, while I sign up with the military and go to war but I can’t have a sip of alcohol. In otherwords, if the age of voting and military sign up is eighteen, then drinking should also be eighteen. Drinking age in Australia is eighteen, and in UK is as low as sixteen in restaurants. Studies have showed that those teens/adults are perfectly fine. Drinking age should be lowered, and I know that by lowering it we can drop the percentage of teen alcohol abusers(滥用者).29. From paragraph 1, drinking in America_______.33. How many habits can you have after joining the activity finally?A.5B.3C.2D.134. What can we infer from the first two paragraphs?A. Happy L.I.F.E is an international company.B. Those habits can be good for readers finally.C. The author mentioned another three habits.D. If you miss a start date, you must stop.35. Which of the following choices is true?A. The author will probably talk about compassion in paragraph 5B. A simple breathing exercise is the best way to live a happy life.C. When you are meditating, you have to find a perfect place.D. Saying “Thank you” means sending an email to someone every day.DWe’re inviting you, to be part of the Happy L.I.F.E. We hope that you’ll find all the activities of the Happy L.I.F.E. meaningful and put them to your daily positivity practices. By the end, you may just have five new habits that create greater satisfaction, or even a greater sense of happiness in your life.Paying attention to the following pointsIf you miss a start date –just jump right in with a positive intention（意图） to get started from right where you are. Or, if you’re already practicing one of the habits, we encourage you to combine your positive intentions with ours and we challenge you to go to the next level in the practice of your habit. For instance, if you’re already meditating(冥想), add compassion （热情） or self-discovery to your intentions.Saying “Thank you”The first activity that we invite you to do along with us, with the goal of making it a daily habit, is to send an email or note out to someone in your support system or network. Here’s a list of 100 things to thank people for that might help get you unstuck. And, it might also help to remember why it’s important to say “thank you” and how to make them most meaningful to the recipient.MeditatingThe next “happy habit” we’re building is the practice of meditation. If you’ve never meditated before, a simple breathing exercise is the best place to start. And, even if you don’t have the ideal, quiet and calm place in which to add a meditation break to your work or school day, you can still focus your intention on developing greater connectedness to your inner life and thoughts simply by slowly, gently breathing in and out, keeping your focus on your breaths. 第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

The gloves are known as ―Talk to the Hand‖ and cost £1,000 a pair. They fixed a speaker unit into the thumb and a microphone into the little finger that can be connected to any mobile handset using Bluetooth.Artist Sean Miles designed the new gloves that double as a phone in part of his project that shows the possibilities of gadget recycling. He uses outdated gloves and combines them with parts from mobile handsets recycled through O2, which commissioned（承担）the project. Mobile phone users will be able to keep their hands warm while they chat without taking their phones out of their pockets or handbags.Mr Miles designed two pairs of the new gloves—one in pink and the other in brown and yellow. They will appear in an exhibition this July and visitors will be able to win the gloves. If demand is high, they will then be produced on a larger scale. O2 Recycle, which backed the project, estimates that there are already 70 million unused mobile handsets in the UK. The service pays up to £260 to those who recycle gadgets including phones, handheld consoles, MP3 players and digital cameras.Designer Sean Miles hopes his work will get people thinking about recycling. The 41-year-old said, ―I hope that my ‗Talk to the Hand‘ project will get people to think again about the waste created by not recycling gadgets. If a few more people recycle their gadgets rather than send them to trash, I think this project will have fulfilled its aim.‖Bill Eyres, head of O2 Recycle, urges people to recycle their phone responsibly. He said, ―There‘s a pressing need for all of us to look at outdated handsets, and all the gadgets that we move on from or upgrade each year. Whether they are consoles or cameras, we should think of them as a resource that we need to recycle responsibly rather than throw them away.‖9.The underlined word ―O2‖ in Paragraph 2 is probably the name of ______.A. an artistB. a companyC. a mobileD. an exhibition10.Consumers can buy the ―Talk to the Hand‖ gloves ______.A. in the exhibitionB. from Mr MilesC. when they are mass producedD. after they recycle the gadgets11 The purpose of the project is to _______.A. promote the technology of ITB. enable people to talk to their handsC. raise people‘s awareness of recyclingD. attract visitors‘ attention in the exhibition12.What is the passage mainly about?A.
