AA very strict officer was talking to some new soldiers whom he had to train. He had never seen them before, so began, “My name is Stone, and I’m even harder than stone, so do what I tell you or there’ll be trouble. Don’t try any tricks (诡计) with me, and then we’ll get on well together.”Then he went to each soldier one after the other and asked him his name, “Speak loudly so that everyone can hear you clearly,” he said, “and don’t forget to call me ‘sir’.”Each soldier told him name, until he came to the last one. This man remained silent and so Captain Stone shouted at him, “When I ask you a question, answer it! I’ll ask you again: “What’s your name, soldier?”The soldier was very unhappy, but at last he replied,” My name’s Stonebreaker, sir,” he said nervously (紧张地).21.

Kids can get some geography knowledge on Kids World Map.CIs there anything more imp ortant than health? I don’t think so. “Health is the greatest wealth.” wise people say. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you shouldgo to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story. An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat with pleasure, drin k with pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man. “But you know, doctor,” he said, “it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”28. The writer thinks that_____.A. health is more important than wealthB. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasureD. nothing is more important than money29. The doctor usually tells his patient what to do______.A. without examining the patientB. after he has examined the patientC. if the patient doesn’t take medicineD. unless the patient feels pain30. The underlined part means “______”.A. he was feeling better than everB. he wasn’t a healthy manC. he was feeling worse than beforeD. he will be well again31. From the last sentence of the passage, we learn the man_______ before the doctor told him not to smoke more than one cigarette a day.A. was a heavy smokerB. didn’t smoke so muchC. didn’t smokeD. began to learn to smokeDJoanne was stuck in a traffic jam in central Birmingham at 5:30 pm. And at 6:30 pm. she was expected to be chairing a meeting of the tennis club. At last, the traffic was moving. She turned back quickly racing to her house. As she opened the door, she nearly tripped (绊) over Sheba.“Hey, Sheba,” she said, “I’ve got no time for you now, but I’ll take you out as soon as I get back from tennis club. ” Then she noticed Sheba seemed to be coughing or choking (噎). Obviously, she could hardly breathe. Immediately, Joanne realized she would have to take her to the vet (兽医). When she got there, the vet was just about to close for the day. Seeing the state of Sheba, Dr. Sterne brought her quickly into his office.“Listen, doctor, I’m really in a rush to get to a meeti ng. Can I leave her with you, and go and get changed? I’ll be back in ten minutes to pick her up, and then I’ll take her on to the meeting with me. Is that OK?”“Sure.” said the doctor.Joanne made the quick trip back to her house in a couple of minutes. As she was once more entering the hallway (门厅), the phone by the door began to ring.“This is Dr. Sterne,” said an anxious voice. “I want you to get out of that house immediately,” said the doctor’s voice. “I’m coming round right away, and the police will be there any time now. Wait outside!”At that moment, a police car screamed to a stop outside the house. Two policemen got out and ran into the house. Joanne was by now completely confused and very frightened. Then the doctor arrived.“Where’s Sheba? Is she OK?” shouted Joanne.“She’s fine, Joanne. I took out the thing which was choking her, and she’s OK now.”Just then, the two policemen reappeared from the house, half-carrying a white-faced man, who could hardly walk. There was blood all over him.“My God!” said Joanne, “How did he get in there? And how did you know he was there?”“I think he must be a burglar.” said the doctor. “I knew he was there because when I finally removed what was stuck in Sheba’s throat, it turned out to be three human fingers.”32.

Others didn't do quite enough. Fred Baines was one of them. He spent more time dr inking in the Students' Union than working in the library.Once, at the end of the term, we had to take an important tes t in chemistry. The test had a hundred questions. Beside each question, we had to write "True" or "False". While I was study ing in my room the night before the test, Fred was watching te levision. Fred usually worried a lot the night before a test. But on that night he looked perfectly calm. Then he told me of his plan."It's very simple. There are a hundred questions and I have t o get fifty correct to pass the test. I'll take a coin into the exam ination room. I haven't studied a chemistry book for months, s o I'll just toss(抛) the coin. That way, I'm sure I'll get half the q uestions right."The next day Fred came cheerfully into the examination room. He sat tossing a coin for half an hour as he marked down his answers. Then he left, half an hour before the rest of us.The next day, he saw the chemistry professor in the corridor (走廊)."Oh, good," he said. "Have you got the result of the test? Wh at mark did I get?"The professor looked at him and smiled."Ah, it's you, Baines. Just a minute."Then he reached into his pocket and took out a coin.

Colours in them seem to be used mai nly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts, but birds can't easily catch locusts because locusts change their colour s together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops are ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crops have. Som e other pests with different colours from plants are usually eas ily found and eaten by their enemies. So they have to hide the mselves in terror for lives and appear only at night.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you will fi nd the main use of colouring is to protect themselves. Bears, wolves and other beasts move quietly through forests. They a re usually invisible to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the barks of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fi sh living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid is spreading, its enemies can not find it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up t o now though it is not powerful at all.17. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the change of colour in locustsB. animals or pests can dye themselves into different coloursC. how a certain sea fish protects itselfD. the protective coloration in animals and pests\18. The pests that have different colours from plants usually a ppear at night because _______.A. birds take their rest when night comesB. their enemies can easily find them and eat themC. they have the habit of coming out in darknessD. it's easy for them to destroy plants in darkness19. Bears and wolves have the same colours as barks of tree s because _______.A. they fear other beastsB. they like brown or grey coloursC. they enjoy walking through the forest quietlyD. the colours help prevent themselves from being noticed20. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of ye ars because _______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fish can swim as fast as it canC. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemiesD. it can send out a kind of liquid which makes its enemies un able to find it第二部分语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项Mr. Smith ,my high school teacher once said in his speech, “Ifyou make one close friend in school, you will be most fortuna te.

ABalloon VolleyballIt’s a rainy, dark day and there’s nothing to do. You don’t feel like sitting quietly but you are not allowed to make a lot of noise. What can you do for fun? Try balloon volleyball.Items needed for this game:·a balloon (or two, in case the first one bursts)·some ropes·two chairs·at least two people and a roomSet up the room. If you’re in the living room, or a family room, be sure to move all the furniture out of the way. Get two chairs and set them in the middle, outer edges(边缘)of the room. They should be at the same place where you put a volleyball net. Turn them so that the seat is facing the wall, not the “playing” space. Tie the rope onto the top of the chair, and run the rest of the rope to the other chair. Now tie it on this chairat the same place as the first chair. You can decide the “out-of-bounds”(出界) lines, if you want to have them, but they really are not necessary in this game.Blow up the balloon. Choose sides. You will play this game on your knees (at least until they start hurting and you want to stand). Each side must get the balloon over the rope in three hits. If it does not get over, the other side gets the balloon and a point. This game becomes more difficult because you must play without talking.You can also add other rules to make it more difficult; for example, you can only use your left hand or only your right hand to hit the balloon.Continue playing until one side gets 10 points. You can make your game longer or shorter by changing the number of points it takes to win.This is a fun way to get your energy out, have fun, and not make too much noise on a rainy, stay-in-the-house day.1. What do we know about the balloon volleyball?A. One room is enough for it.B. It is played only indoors.C. It must be played quietly.D. At least two balloons are needed.2. What is the function of the chairs in this game?A. To make the playing area.B. To hold the rope up as the net.C. For the players to rest during breaks.D. For people to sit and watch the game.3. Which of the following rules can make the game harder?A. Play on knees.B. Play with a lot of noise.C. Use only your left hand to hit the balloon.D. Get the balloon over the ropein three hits.BRecently, I experienced a wonderful lesson in how little things still mean a lot. My brother, mother and I live in a very rural district of Hawaii. Our farm is at least a dozen miles from the most basic of services. Therefore, I take weekly trips to COSTCO to get supplies. About a month ago, I finished loading up the car and was about to leave, when a piece of paper caught my eye. I picked it up and read it carefully.It was a receipt(收据) from the State Motor Vehicle Division, recording the owner’s payment of her Vehicle’s Registration fees. At first I thought that I could find the owner. So I waited there for about an hour. Although the receipt had been borne (由……携带) on the wind, where in the busy, crowded parking lot would I find the owner? I looked over the receipt for contact or any personal data, perhaps a license tag(牌照)or telephone number. I checked the date, the fees paid, noted the name of the owner and pocketed the paper. I concluded that the best and easiest step to take was toBy the end of the week, I received a beautiful thank-you letter from a very grateful and happy woman containing a handwritten message and a gift card. In the letter, the woman explained how the wind snatched(夺去) her receipt from a pocket in her car’s passenger door. She had searched everywhere for quite some time before giving up.It felt great to know I’d helped someone avoid a loss by doing something that atfirst glance(一瞥) seemed little or even unimportant.4. What can we learn about the author?A. He lives downtown in Hawaii.B. He goes to the shop to get supplies once a week on foot.C. He is too poor to have basic supplies for his family.D. He is patient and willing to help others.5. The underlined word “it” in paragraph 2 probably refers to ______.A. the receipt B .the license tag C. the telephone number D. the personal data6. How did the woman feel when receiving the author’s envelope?A. Proud B . Disappointed C. Appreciated D. Angry7. What can be the best title for the text?A. A Lesson I Will Never ForgetB. Never Lose Heart or Give UpC. Little Things Still Mean a LotD. Think Carefully Before You ActCThe British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “Its a little damp (潮湿的) outside.”Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say,“She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜剧) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.8. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?A. The British often enlarge the fact.B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.D. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.9. The author explains understatement by _______.A. describing a processB. making comparisonsC. following time orderD. using examples10. Mr. Bean makes laugh by ______.A. using his body movement and facial expressionsB. making jokes about others’ accentC. copying how others behaveD. telling funny stories11. What can be the best title for the text?A. British Humor in ComedyB. Humor in Different CulturesC. Understanding British HumorD. Developing Your Sense of HumorDHumans were designed to stand upright(直立). And yet in this modern world, too many of us spend our days with our heads lowered for a simple reason: we’re staring at the tiny screen of a smart phone.People spend an average of 2 to 4 hours each day with their neck bent whileThe average adult head weighs 10 to 12 pounds when it’s in the upright position. However, because of the gravity, bending your head at a mere 15 degree puts 27pounds of pressure on your spine(脊椎)；a 30 degree neck bend could equal(等于) 40 pounds of pressure; a 45 degree bend adds the force of 49 pounds, according to the research from Dr. Kenneth Hansraj from New York. These stresses may lead to many problems.It’s no secret that correct posture is better for your back. According to the researchers, good posture is described as ears aligned(成一条直线) with the shoulders. In proper alignment, spinal stress disappeared. It is the best position for the spine. Standing tall doesn’t just make you look better; it improves your health, too. Other studies have found good posture has even been connected to ways of behaving. People who have poorer posture often have poorer physical and emotional health.The researchers describe bad posture（姿势）as “the head in a forward position and the shoulders dropping forward in a rounded position”. Bad posture has been connected to many medical problems, including headaches and other problems, depression and heart disease. This is why Hansraj said it’s important to be mindful of your smart phone posture. While it is nearly impossible to avoid the technologies that cause these problems, people should make an effort to look at their phones with a correct posture.12. Through the underlined sentence in paragraph 2, the author wants to show that _______.A. the social media have its bad sideB. the social media have made a great successC. people have to use social media unavoidablyD. more and more people areusing smart phones13. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. It’s healthy to bend your back regularly.B. Your back is getting exercise as you bend it.C. The average weight of an adult head always changes.D. The more you bend your neck, the heavier the head becomes.14. What is the correct posture?A. Bend your head within 15 degrees.B. Raise and lower your head in turn.C. Drop your head forward in a rounded position.D. Keep the positions of the neck and shoulders in a line.15. Where does the text most probably come from?A. A text book.B. A health report.C. A research plan.D. A book review.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。

east coast of what is now Florida.Native Americans had been living there for centuries, but Ponce de Leon was the first European to set foot in what would become the United StatesAccording to legend（传说）,Ponce de Leon may have landed in Florida by mistake He is said to have been looking for an island called Bimini and its Fountain of Youth.The magical fountain could supposedly make old people young again.Instead,Ponce de Leon landed on the Florida peninsula（半岛）and claimed it for Spain.He named it La Florida,or “flowery place”.Ponce de Leon explored more of Florida’s coasts over the next few months He later returned to Spain but went back to Florida in 1521 to attempt to set up a permanent colony（殖民地）.However,Native Americans attacked him and his companions,and Ponce de Leon was killed.It wasn’t until 1565 that Spain set up a successful colony at St Augustine on Florida’s east coast.It is the oldest permanent European settlement in the U.S.Florida didn’t belong to the U.S. until Spain lost control.It was admitted to the U.S. as the 27th state in 1845.Today,Florida has one of the fastest-growing populations of any state.More than 19 million people call it home.It’s also a popular destination for st year,89 million people visited the Sunshine State.These days, most visitors come in search of fun in the sun on its sandy beaches and its theme parks,such as Disney World

usually do when a flying insect lands on your arm?You may blow it away.But what if that insect is a ladybug（瓢虫）.It is possible that you would let it stay.What is it about ladybugs that we like?Farmers once thought ladybugs were a good lucky sign.A ladybug in the field meant the crops would be successful and that the weather would be good.The farmers may have thought too highly of such a small bug,but in fact ladybugs do help out with the crops.They eat harmful insects.Actually,it is not the adult ladybug that eats other insects.It’s the baby ladybug.When the baby ladybugs hatch（孵化）,they are very hungry and will eat mites,aphids,mealy bugs,green flies,andother crop-destroyers.In the 1800s,ladybugs were brought all the way from Australia to California and set free among orange trees that were dying from being eaten by insects.They completely saved all the trees.Ladybugs go about their daily business without worrying much about anything.Very few birds or insects will eat a ladybug because it gives off a dangerous fluid（液体）.Ladybugs also protect themselves by playing dead.They fall off leaves and never move until their attacker goes away.So the next time you see a ladybug,think about what it may be doing.Maybe it is off to save an orange tree. Maybe its next move will be to roll off a leaf and play dead or stand up to a bird about 100 times its size.Maybe it’s letting you know that the weather will be good tomorrow.Who knows?dybugs were brought from Australia to California in the 1800s to .A.add more ladybugs to areaB.report the weather for farmersC.act as a lucky sign of good cropsD.save orange trees by eating insects30.From the passage we know that .A.it’s the adult ladybug that eats most of the harmful insectsdybugs often roll off a leaf and play dead to attack the birdsdybugs can give off a dangerous fluid to protect themselvesD.the baby ladybug mainly eats mites,aphids,mealy bugs,and oranges31.The underlined phrase“stand up to”most probably means .A.watchB.supportC.saveD.fight32.Which of the following may the author agree with?dybugs do harm to nature.dybugs are unusual insects.dybugs are dangerous insects.dybugs eat more than they should.DA warm drink of milk before bed has long been the best choice for those wanting a good n ight’s sleep.But now a study has found it really does help people nod off—if it is milked from a cow at night.Researchers have discovered that "might milk" contains more melatonin（褪黑激素）,which has been proven to help people feel sleepy and reduce anxiety.The study,by researchers from Seoul,South Korea,involved mice being fed with dried milk powder made from cows miked both during the day and at night.Those given night milk,which contained 10 times the amount of melatonin,were less active and less anxious than those fed with the milk collected during daytime,according to the study published in The Journal of Medicinal Food.Night milk quickened the start of sleep and caused the mice to sleep longer.While the effect of cows’ milk harvested at different time has not been tested on humans up to now,taking melatonin drugs has been suggested to those who are struggling to fall asleep at night.Previous studies have also indicated that milk can be excellent for helping sleep because of the calcium content, which helps people to relax.Milk is also sugar-free and additive-free with nutritionists recommending skimmed milk as the best choice before bed as it is the least fattening.The more fat you take in before bedtime,the greater burden you will put on your body at night.33.Which of the following is true of melatonin according to the text?A.It’s be en tested on mice for ten times.B.It can make people more energetic.C.It exists in milk in great amount.D.It’s used in sleeping drugs.34.What can be suitable title for the text?A.Night Milk and Sleep.B.Fat,Sugar and Health.C.An Experiment on Mice.k Drinking and Health.35.How does the author support the theme of the text?A.By giving examples.B.By stating arguments.C.By explaining statistical data.D.By providing research results.第二节七选五部分（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
