What is the passage mainly about?A. Tips to have a short journey.B. Mini adventures in USA.C. Importance of adventures.D. Tips to save money in USA.BMy daughter Kelly is a cautious person. She needs to warm up to situations, and is hesitant to try new things. When with close friends, she becomes a leader who laughs loudly and chants, “Girls rule, boys drool (流口水)” But when that comfor t zone is not around her, she is shy and nervous.This had been challenging for me at times. “Shy” is not a word that I think has ever been used to describe me. But this has been a year of “firsts” for my girl that has filled her with a new sense of confidence. This year she moved to lap lane in swimming where she was preparing for a swim team. This year she learned to ride a bike without training wheels. And this year she completed her first kids’ triathlon (三项全能).On Saturday, with a thunderstorm coming s oon and my son’s birthday party later in the day, we all went out in the dark of the morning for Kelly to participate in her first triathlon. We practiced transitions (过渡) from swim to bike to run with her, we got all the equipment she’d need, and we kept talking about the race. But as we waited the two hours for the older kids to finish before her turn, she held my leg a little harder and told me she loved me many times. She was nervous but trying to keep it together.And then it was her turn. From the second she jumped into the water, my face lit up. My daughter transformed into the most confident human being I had ever seen. She dominated (主宰) that swim, won that bike ride and ran to the finish with the biggest smile on her face.I can honestly say that I never felt so proud of someone in my entire life. It wasn’t because she did a sport or anything like that. It was because she was afraid of something and conquered (克服) that fear with confidence and a fire I hadn’t seen before.All day I would find myself just looking over at her and smiling. She might be wearing the finalist medal but I felt like I won that day. I won the chance to see my girl shine.Shine on, sweet baby.24. Kelly is nervous when ______.A. situations are new to herB. boys are around herC. she changes into a leaderD. she is away from her mom25. We can know from the Paragraph 3 ______ .A. the race began in the early morningB. the whole family gave Kelly supportC. Kelly was eager for her turn in the raceD. Kelly prepared for her brother’s birthday party26. Seeing Kelly’s performance in the race, the author felt ______.A. excited and proudB. anxious and uneasyC. curious and concernedD. worried and hesitant27. The author “felt like I won that day ” because Kelly ______.A. expressed love to herB. won the gold medalC. took part in the sportD. overcame the fearCDear John,My name is Amber and I want to share my story with you because what you've shared about life and positive energy has changed my life. This past year has been one of the hardest for me. I felt I was stuck in a position that had nothing to do with what I wanted to do with my life. In January, after two years of being together, my boyfriend left me.I read your blog every morning as I drink my coffee at work, but it wasn't until this March that I told myself "no more negativity" as you taught readers in your blog.Since then I've got into new habits at work to keep my energy positive. When people walk in the front door, I'm the first face they see, so I smile big when I say "good morning" to them, especially on Mondays. Instead of waiting for someone to ask me for help, I offer it with an open mind. The CEO noticed my change and offered me the executive assistant position that I wanted.One of the biggest things I've taken to heart from your blog is changing my opinions on my job. Yes, it was not an important position, but when I was passionate（热情的）about it, I could make my life fulfilling.All in all, I have to thank you somehow for having the passion to help others because it truly is inspiring to me. So thank you so much, John. My life has changed because your words pointed me in the right direction. Take care!Sinc erely ,Am ber28. Amber wrote the letter mainly to______A. introduce herself to JohnB. talk about her bad yearC. ask for some adviceD. express her thanks29. We can infer from the passage that before reading John’s blog, Amber______A. didn't like her boyfriendB. spent a lot of time onlineC. wasn't satisfied with her jobD. received very good education30. What is implied about John in the letter?A. He is a very famous writer.B. He used to live a very negative life.C. He doesn't like sharing his life stories.D. He likes helping others through writing positive blogs.31. What does Amber's change tell us?A. Practice makes perfect.B. Bad luck doesn't exist long.C. A positive attitude is rewarding.D. A friend in need is a friend indeed.DWhen men get together, they seldom talk about their feelings or inner thoughts. However, they talk about a lot, like their newest computer, how to repair their car, or even business.Talk might move to the best place to find fish or women, jump to computer games, then continue to the sport of the season. They also like to tell jokes each other and spend a fair amount of time playing one-up and boasting (吹牛).Men seldom call each other to chat.When man meets woman, he usually wants to make a good impression. Many single men try hard to carry on amusing, fun, and pleasant conversations. They use conversation to discover her interests and feelings in order to learn how to be attractive to her.Some men, either out of nervousness or ignorance, spend most of the time talking about themselves, often appearing to brag about their achievements or talk endlessly about their problems or work. Even the quietest man talks to his woman when love is new.When women get together, they talk about feelings and relationships, their work and their family. They enjoy talking but also want the give and take of talk, then listen. Women often call each other to chat. Conversation is an important part of most women’s 1ives.As relationships progress, however, many a man turns on the television and forgets how to talk. This raises anger and cry from his woman partner who says, “You never talk to me anymore.” Some men start talking. Many, however, mainly discuss their own achievements and problems.When the woman starts talking about her favorite subjects: feelings, family, relationships, friends and her work, many men lose interest or bring the conversation back to themselves. Pretty soon, the man is back to staring at the television each night, wondering where his relationship has gone. The woman is talking to her friends, mom, sister, or neighbor, often about that very relationship and how she is hurting.32. What can we know about men from the first two paragraphs?A. They like to talk about practical matters.B. They are willing to expose (暴露) their inner thoughts.C. They prefer to take adventurous travels.D. They often call each other to chat about work.33. Which of the following can replace the underlined part “brag about” in Paragraph 4?A. Show off.B. Dream about.C. Put forward.D. Care for.34. What is the same topic in both men’s and women’s talk?A. Family.B. Jokes.C. Friends.D. Work.35. What is the best title of this passage?A. How a man makes a good impression to a woman.B. Good relationship between men and women.C. Men talk; women talk; do they talk together?D. Talking, the women’s main tool in communication.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。

ARed Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by the scriptwriter Richard Curtis. He wrote the famous films ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral' and ‘Notting Hill'. Richard's idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe famine in Ethiopia. It's called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well established that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was ‘Do Something Funny for Money' and the money that was collected helped to fund projects in the following areas, treating malaria（疟疾）,education, and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day pro gram raised £74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools participate. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.In the evening of Red Nose Day a telethon takes place on the BBC TV channels. It shows on and on a selection of the events of the day, as well as lots of comic sketches and reports of how the money raised will be spent. People also upload videos of local charity events on YouTube and Facebook.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It's all for a good cause.21. What does the passage say about Richard Curtis?A. He likes to wear a plastic red nose.B. He started a charity in the 1980s.C. He is a well-known film director.D. He was born in a poor family in Ethiopia.22. Which of the following is true about Red Nose Day?A. It has become an official holiday.B. It takes place every year.C.

A money-raising party.D. A comic sketch party.24. Which of the following can be the title for this passage?A. Comic ReliefB. BBC TelethonC. Richard CurtisD. Red Nose DayBA nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,”she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened.Heavily drugged with sleep because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly(隐约) saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out with his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s weak ones, expressing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed.All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward(病房), holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of lo ve and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest a while. He refused. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only holding tightly to his son all through the night. Along towards dawn, the old man died.The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited.Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her.“Who was that man?”he asked. The nurse was surprised. “He was your father,”she answered. “No, he wasn’t,”the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.” “Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?”asked the nurse. “I knew right away the re had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.”he answered.25.Why did the nurse take the Marine to the old man’s bed?A.Because he was the old man’s son.B.Because she knew that he was a warm-hearted man.C.Because she couldn’t find anyone else there.D.Because she thought he was the old man’s son.26.Why did the old man hold the Marine’s hand all thro ugh the night?A.Because he knew he would die the next day.B.Because he hadn’t seen his son for a long time.C.Because he was dying and mistook him for his son.D.Because he enjoyed doing that and so did the Marine.27.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.The Marine didn’t know the old man at all.B.The nurse was careless and made a mistake.C.The Marine happened to be the old man’s son’s friend.D.The old man passed away peacefully and contentedly.28.What can we learn from the passage?A.The next time someone needs you, be there.B.All the soldiers are as kind as the Marine.C.We’d better not correct someone else’s mistakes.D.The young should accompany their parents all the time.CHave you ever tried to hold your breath for a long time and then let it out slowly? This is one of the techniques of an ancient Indian exercise known as Yoga. For thousands of years, people have used Yoga to help search for happiness and pleasure.Students of Yoga often study for as long as 20 years before becoming masters, or Yogis. They learn many different physical exercises. These exercises are designed to put the students in good physical condition. Then they can concentrate on deep thought without worrying about physical discomforts.Many yoga exercises require to put the body into difficult positions. Some of them are very hard to learn. Have you ever tried to cross your legs over one another? This is one of the basic Yoga positions. Most people find it difficult to stay in that position for even a few minutes. But Yogis train themselves to remain in the position for hours or even days. They are taught to overcome the physical discomforts of holding these positions. Other exercises and rules teach concentration－Yogis feel this is the key to finding inner peace. This kind of concentration is called meditation.Yogis and many other people practice meditation. They say that it makes them feel relaxed and peaceful. Some people say that it makes them feel better－just as good exercise does. But other people think that it is a way of achieving a strong religious feeling. These people say that meditation helps them feel much closer to God.The word Yoga itself comes from an ancient word meaning “union.” What kind ofunion do you think the word refers to? Why would people want to have this kind of experience?29. From the passage we know that ________.A. the longer you hold your breath, the healthier you areB. when one practices Yoga, he or she should be in the state of calm and peaceC. those who want to search for happiness and pleasure must practice YogaD. those who are under the age of 20 can’t practice Yoga at all30.

If there was another more paragraph, the writer would ________.A. explain what the meaning of “union” of Yoga wasB. tell the readers where the word “union” came fromC. remind us how difficult it was to practice YogaD. urge the readers to practice YogaDLego Bricks & More 10664 Creative TowerList Price: $119.99Price: $101.35 & FREE ShippingFeaturing 160 colorful Lego bricks to create anything your young kids can imagine, this item is designed to allow children complete flexibility.

A(原创)You never forget your first whale. The impact it makes upon you is huge and life is never quite the same again. My first whale was a 40ft grey, off the coast of California in 1979, and I’ve been a whale addict ever since. Now I have to go whale watching regularly just to survive normal daily life.I may be crazy but I am certainly not alone. The world is filled with whale watchers: since its beginnings in the mid-fifties, whale watching has grown dramatically and now more than 13 million people join organized whale watching trips every year.As a faithful whale watcher, all your holidays center on whales. The only books you read are ones about whales; you wear whale T-shirts, and every time you meet your friends you talk about whales.So what is it about these larger-than-life animals that makes them so special? Their enormous size is one possible explanation: imagine sitting in a small boat next to a blue whale almost as long as a Boeing 737.The fact that we know so little about them is another possibility: modern technology has taken us to the moon and beyond, yet we are only just beginning to understand these extraordinary forms of intelligent life on our own planet.Planning and patience are just two essential requirements for successful whale watching. Planning is needed because there are certain whale hot spots—where youhave the best chance of seeing them—and because the larger species tend to be on their way from feeding areas to breeding grounds, so rarely do they stay in one place for more than a few months at a time.Patience is necessary because, even under the best conditions, whales can be tricky to find. However, most commercial whale watching trips have a surprisingly high success rate because they tend to concentrate on well-known whale populations at peak (最高的) seasons.21.What is the impact of the author’s first whale in his life?A.He has been crazy ever since.B.He can’t have a normal daily life.C.He has fallen in love with whale watching.D.He has organized watching trips every year.22.What will a faithful whale watcher do usually?A.Take part in whale forums.B.Wear only whale-themed clothes.C.Join an organization for whale watching every month.D.Pay much attention to whales in the holidays.23.Why is patience necessary in whale watching?A.Because it is very difficult to find these clever whales.B.Because whales are on their way to breeding grounds.C.Because the watching conditions are not always good.D.Because they have enormous size as big as a Boeing plane.24.What can be the best title of the passage?A.Tips on Whale WatchingB.Memories of Whale WatchingC.Whales Are Intelligent AnimalsD.Essential Requirements for Whale WatchingBOur bodies communicate what we feel loudly and clearly. Here are some tips for reading body language so that you can understand what is not being expressed by words. All of these tips are based on American interpretations (解释), so not all the body language here means the same in different cultures.A Cold Shoulder Is Really ColdI was meeting a friend and her husband. We were discussing our business. Wh en the husband brought up an annoying topic that my friend didn’t want to discuss, she unknowingly turned her shoulder away from her husband. She didn’t notice what she had done, but he got the message and changed the topic.An Eye for an EyeIn the US, we expect people to look us in the eyes when they are talking to us. In a crowded elevator or on the street, someone that makes eye contact with you wants to start a conversation with you. If you are talking and don’t want to be interrupted (打断), look away at the end of a sentence. Eye movements help you control a conversation. On the other hand, if you want to talk and the speaker doesn’t give you the chance, stare at him and fix your eyes on him for a while. He will stop talking and let you speak.You’ve Got to Hand It to ThemPrince Charles often stands with his hands held together behind his back. This posture expresses a sense of superiority (优越), confidence and power.When the hands are held together in front of one’s body, the posture meansa need for protection or help.25. From the passage, we learn that _________.A. our bodies can show most of our feelingsB. Americans are good at using body languageC. body language has no country limitsD. body language may mean differently in different places26. What did the author’s friend do when her husband brought up an annoying topic?A. She began to discuss business.B. She showed her husband a cold shoulder.C. She interrupted her husband rudely.D. She tried to change to another topic.27. If a man makes eye contact with you in an elevator, it shows that he___________.A. would like to talk to youB. is likely to control the conversationC. feels that you are dangerousD. is hoping to stop you talking28. Who would most probably hold his hands together in front of his bodyaccording to the passage?A. A confident prince.B. An armed soldier.C. A missing child.D. An old artist.C(原创)DEAR AMY: We recently had to put our cat down. It came out of the blue. We had no idea that he had health problems, and we woke up early one morning to the cat crying out painfully. We immediately rushed him to the vet’s where the vet said that at best treatment might lengthen his life by two to three months. We did not want to see him suffer, so we chose to kill the cat in a painless way.I am having a rough time! I cry when I am alone. I cry when I see pet commercials on television. I put away everything that reminds me of the cat. But the last sight of seeing the cat in pain plays over and over in my head. My kids seem alright with what has happened, but why am I struggling?It has only been one week since his passing, so I hope things will get better. Do you have any suggestions?Yours,SadDEAR SAD: There is no loss quite like the loss of a pet; these animals keep us company through important life passages and are beloved witnesses to our human lives.I understand your instinct to put away all of you r cat’s things, but it may help you now to memorialize your pet by using these things.
