California waterfront (海滨). “Siting on the bench and watching a sunrise at the waterfront can bring peace and joy to my hear before staring my day,” said Davis.One day a woman stopped there and said to him,“ You know, every morning when I see you sitting here, I know that everything is going to be OK.” What she said suddenly made Davisrealize that he should pay more attention to the people walking past. Since then, he began to smile at people and talk with them. Soon some people began joining him on the bench, sometimes talking about their personal problems and sometimes asking him for advice about jobs and relationships. His openness to listen has won him the name “the Sunshine Listener”. “I’m happy to listen,” Davis said. “I want them to walk away knowing they don’t have to feel lonely.”▲ They simply want to sit next to someone and share the silence. “A woman stopped once and said. ‘I just want to sit here with you.’” Davis said. “We looked at the water for some time, and then she thanked me and walked away.

Our relationship, in and out of school, has been changing.When I was younger, I thought all that my dad said was truth and I copied anything he did. We played games together, and stayed up late reading bedtime stories. I could depend on my dad taking me to school, running into him during the day and riding home with him every afternoon.However, as I grew older, we were not as close as we used to be. He wasn’t cool any more. He wore his socks too high, listened to terrible country music and laughed too loudly in front of my friends. I felt so ashamed. I hoped he wasn’t my dad.For example, in my seventh grade, my dad came to our New Year party. He dressed up asDonald Duck, guitar in hand, singing silly songs. Just kill me! I wanted to run away.Another thing was during my 10th grade physics project. The task was to build a wood bridge with the best strength-to-weight ratio. All the students and physics teachers took part in it. So did my dad, the only school doctor! As usual, I ran away.However, later when I learned from my friends that my dad got the first prize and won everyone’s admiration, I had a mixed feeling with a touch of pride (骄傲). I began to realize that we have many of the same values and sometimes the same ideas. No matter how much I had tried to stay away from him, he still influenced me. I feel lucky to have such an unusual father. The relationship I have developed with my dad over the years has made me look back and see how I’ve grown.31．Which of the following shows the changes of the writer’s feelings towards his father?①I depended on my dad.①I was proud of my dad.①I wanted to run away from my dad.①I felt so lucky to have such a father.A．①①①①B．①①①①C．①①①①D．①①①①32．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．The writer did everything together with his father when he was older.B．The writer was not happy to see his father in the New Year party in his seventh grade.C．The writer’s father didn’t treat him as well as before when he grew older.D．The writer invited his father to the physics project when he was in his tenth grade. 33．Which of the following can best show the structure of the passage?A．B．C．D．When the famous scientist Albert Einstein was 16 years old, he imagined himself riding alongside a beam (束) of light. He used this picture in mind to help him when thinking about the “theory of relativity (相对论)”. “Imagination is more important than knowledge,” said Einstein.Daydreaming, called “thought experiments” by Einstein, can make you have wild imaginings, like flying around in space. It lets your mind walk slowly around ideas, memories and experiences that aren’t happening right now. It means thinking ahead to a holiday or remembering how much you enjoyed a birthday party, According to China’s health authorities (权威机构), daydreaming for a while each day can improve your health and creativity.Disappearing into a daydream lets your mind have a rest when things are difficult. It helps you deal with worries and fears. For example, imagining how you’re going to speak up in class is like practicing the scene (场景) in your head, which can make you feel calmer. Daydreaming also inspires (激发) creativity and lets you find new worlds where there are no limits to what you can do or who you are. Guo Qiang, an expert in thoughts and feelings, thinks we should all make time to daydream. “Thinking for pleasure can be a powerful tool to shape our feelings.” he said.However, try not to let your mind be absent when you need to focus (聚焦) in class or cross the road. Instead, find a time when you don’t have to focus on anything, like going for a walk or brushing your teeth. Guo advises you can start by focusing on a happy memory or imagining a future success, like scoring a goal in the World Cup.To inspire creativity, think about interesting ideas and see where your mind takes you. Research shows that people often come up with more solutions to problems after they’ve taken a break. So next time you have difficulty with homework, stop for a moment and see where your daydreams take you.34．Which writing skill is used in paragraph 1?A．Giving an example.B．Raising a question.C．Listing numbers.D．Giving reasons.35．What does Guo Qiang first advise?A．Running away from the hard time.B．Looking for new worlds.C．Finding time to imagine.D．Focusing on success.36．What is mentioned in paragraph 4?A．The steps to daydream.B．The things to daydream of.C．The reasons for daydreaming.D．The meanings of daydreaming. 37．Daydreaming is talked about ________.A．to remind people to have a mind breakB．to find solutions to homework problemsC．to advise living at the momentD．to show a science research result四、单词拼写38．Happy birthday to Tommy! Now let’s (分开) the cake.39．Jim wants to know by (谁) the wonderful novel was written.40．Women are forced to make a (选择) between family and their work.41．Jimmy is so smart that he (必定地) knows how to solve these problems.42．Han Jiang won the Nobel prize (凭借) many years of hard work.43．He was getting (patient) after waiting for two more hours.44．I’d like to (suggestion) a white wine with this dish.45．There was (silent) around. I was afraid and couldn’t help crying.46．The (speak) given by Mr. Sun. is amazing and I can’t wait to share it with you. 47．It’s not (simple) a question of money. We should also consider who will join us. 48．—Are you going jogging with me this Sunday?—Well. I (not decide). I will ask my mum first. Maybe she has another plan. 49．Doctors pay attention to every detail (avoid) making mistakes.50．Keep your eyes open, or you (miss) the most exciting moment of the magic. 51．Sorry, I could’t hear you well on the phone because the heavy rain (beat) against the window.52．If you have difficulty (find) your way, you can ask police for help.53．After they (choose) to sing at the party, the whole team practiced even harder. 54．Thanks, Mum, for teaching me that falling only (make) us stronger.55．Lily (fall) asleep while she was watching TV news, so I put a blanket on her.56．My mind wasn’t on what the monitor (say), so I’m afraid I have missed a lot. 57．My computer has caught a virus. It works much more slowly and requires (check) regularly.五、任务型阅读Have you ever heard of seahorses? Known for their curly tail and horse-like head that gives them the name, seahorses are special sea fish. Let’s take a closer look at the world of these special animals.The seahorse is a small fish that is found in many waters around the world. Its size is from as small as a peanut to as large as a tennis shoe. Seahorses come in many colors, and some even have the ability to change colors to match the environment where they make their homes. They are the slowest swimmers among fish. Their only way to push themselves forward is by using the tiny fin. Often, seahorses hold onto plants with their tails for a faster trip!Humans are the great danger to the seahorses. Seahorses feed on tiny fish, but chemical pollution from human activities harms the food. And human-caused climate change has led to warmer ocean temperatures, which put stress on seahorses’ bodies by influencing their breathing and appetite (食欲). What’s more, seahorses are poor swimmers, so they cannot run away from polluted areas.However, the seahorse trade is far more serious than these threats (威胁). The trade mainly includes the sale of dried seahorse for traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Some other products (产品) made from seahorses are also involved (涉及). Over 20 million seahorses are caught and killed each year.
