The second prize was announced. It was me.I went up to the stage and read what I had written, "My father's son". When I finished, the people stood up and cheered. I saw my father blowing his nose. Tears were running down my mother's face. Dad cleared his throat and put his hand on my shoulder. “Son, this is the proudest moment of my life.”It was the proudest moment of my life, too.

Put on a happy face.Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It's possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University."It seems that positive feelings may reduce the danger of illness," said the study's chief researcher Sheldon Cohen. In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed positive feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill. In this study, Cohen's group interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers about the happy or bad feelings they had that day. After two weeks, the people were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.The results showed that everyone in the study was equally likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the bright side more often.1. Which of the following was NOT a part of the study?A. People talked about their feelings every day.B.

Some of them enjoy these games so much that they can't put them down.But is this a healthy habit? The World Health Organization (WHO) doesn't think so. “Gaming disorder (障碍)” introduced as a mental disorder in its International Classification of Diseases. “Gaming disorder” refers to persistent (持续的) video-gaming behaviour, whether online or offline. Of course, not everyone who plays video games has this disorder. It has three main characteristics (特征).The first sign is when the player loses control over his or her gaming habits. The second is when playing games becomes more important than other activities for the player. The third is when the condition leads to serious problems in the player's personal and family life.In fact, some countries are already working to solve this problem. South Korea has introduced a law that doesn't allow (允许) children under 16 to play online games between midnight and 6 a.m. Chinese tech company Tencent is also setting limits (限制) on the time those aged between 12 and 18 years old can play it games.They can only play two hours per day.If you have “gaming disorder”, you should ask for professional (专业的) medical help. But if your condition is not that serious, you can use delayed gratification (延迟满足) to deal with it.For example, if you tell yourself not to play any video games on weekdays, you can allow yourself to play for three hours during the weekend. Or if you really want to play them afterHomeworkThink about you are walking through the woods and you see a small dog. It looks cute and friendly.You move up to pet the dog. Suddenly it barks and tries to bite you. The dog no longer seems cute and you feel afraid and possibly angry. Then, as the wind blows, the leaves on the ground are carried away and you see the dog has one of its legs caught in a trap. Now, you take pity on the dog. You know it becomes unfriendly because it is in pain (疼痛).We all judge (判断) others all the time. It might be over small things, like a workmate who spends too long on a lunch break. Or it might be over bigger ones, such as a person who hurts our feelings. There are many reasons why we judge others. It is human nature to find a way to survive (生存). When we see a dog (or a person) that might bite us, of course we feel afraid. We become nervous, want to fight back and are unable to see the possible reasons for others’behaviour (行为).It’s natural to judge others, but try to catch yourself before you speak, for you can’t get your words back. Make a short stop. After all, like that dog in the trap, we really don’t know the reasons for someone’s behaviour.When someone disagrees with us or makes our life difficult, remem ber that it’s usually not about us. It may be about their own pain or struggle (挣扎). Why not let others say something for themselves? “You can never understand the pain of a person enough.” said Will Smith, “because to be honest, everyone is struggling. Some people are better at hiding it than others.”1. Why does the writer talk about the dog in Paragraph 1?A. To describe the qualities of the dog.B. To share a good story with the readers.C. To give an example to show his ideas.D. To tell the readers to have pity on the dog.2. According to the writer, we usually judge others ____________.A. over bigger things instead of small onesB. after thinking carefully about themselvesC. about the real reasons behind their behaviourD. to make ourselves survive when feeling afraid3. What can we know from the passage?A. We don’t need to care about others’ pain.B. We can always understand the pain of a person.C. Never think others’ pain is bigger than it really is.D. Never think others’ pain is smaller than it really is.4. What is the best title of the passage?A. Think Twice Before You JudgeB. Too Late to JudgeC. The Best Way to JudgeD. Have a Reason to JudgeB完形填空Long long ago, in a small, lonely village, there was a place known as the House of 1000growled at them right away.

Dad did some research and had no difficulty in finding us cheap tickets online.On the day of our flight, we had to wake up very early. When we checked our bags in, we found that one bag weighed too much, so we had to pay a fine. After that, Dad insisted that we go and have some breakfast at the airport restaurant. We had a lot of fun watching many different people there. Then we realized it was getting late, so we rushed to the gate. It took one hour for everyone to get on the plane, but finally the door was shut and we were on our way!I think my favorite experience during our trip was our visit to Mount Rainier, a volcano near Seattle. It was nothing like I had expected. Before we left, my aunt lent us hats to protect us from getting sunburned, so I supposed that it would be very hot. Imagine my surprise when we drove up the mountain and I discovered the top was covered in snow and ice!My uncle led us to a small path beyond the main trails to increase our chances of seeing wildlife. We walked over a small hill, and suddenly before us there appeared a field of snow. Small wild flowers grew up through the snow; underneath the snow we could hear rushing water — a small stream. Little animals stood still to avoid being noticed; tiny birds rose into the air. It was the most beautiful sight th at I’d ever seen.66. What ticket did the father buy for the family?A. Bus.B. Ship.C. Train.D. Airplane.67. Why did they pay a fine?A. Because they got up late.B. Because they didn’t wait in line.C. Because they came to the airport late.D. Because their bag was overweight.68. What was the writer’s most impressive experience?A. The flight to Seattle.B. The breakfast in the airport.C. The visit to Mount Rainier.D. The discovery of a small stream.69. Why did they choose a small path instead of the main trails?A. To enjoy more of the wildlife.B. To take a shortcut to save time.C. To avoid the snowy road.D. To avoid being attacked by animals.70. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Seattle is on the northwest coast of America.B. They bought their tickets in a booking office.C. They waited for a long time before getting on the plane.D. The hats were to help protect them from getting sunburned.BFew of us act alone in the real world. Most things are done with the help or ideas of other people. Group projects are great practice for high school, college, and real life, when you will probably have a job that requires working with others. Right now, group projects can be fun and they often allow you to do a bigger, more interesting project than you could alone. With group work, you can actually learn more in less time.Group projects also give you a chance to get to know kids you might not otherwise know or talk with. Gro up projects are also a great way to practice skills you’re not so sure of. For example: working on a deadline, staying organized, or being patient. And if you’re a little nervous talking in front of a group, a joint project can help you become more comfortable with it. Maybe your group will pick you to tell the whole class about your project. If so, you’ll know your whole group is rooting for you!One of the most important things about group work is talking and meeting together. It’s a good idea to continually check with everybody on their progress to see if anyone needs help. You might think the first step is to figure out who will do what, but actually it’s getting to know another a little. Take a few minutes to chat. Even if you know each other well, it can help to take a minute to think about your skills and share your strengths and weaknesses. The second step is to go over ground rules from your teacher and any that you want to create together as a group.67. Group projects can give you a chance to do the following EXCEPT ________.A. get to know more friendsB. learn more than you do aloneC. work in an organized wayD. get rid of shyness forever68. The underlined phrase ―root for‖ in the second paragraph means _______.A. likeB. supportC. offerD. prevent69. What’s the purpose in checking others’ progress?A. To learn what they will do next.B. To find good topics to talk with them about.C. To help them when they need help.D. To make sure that their work is finished on time.70. According to the passage, we can infer that _______.A. group members should be your close friendsB. talking with group members should be the first step of group workC. knowing persons is more important than your projectsD. rules from teachers are more important than working among group members阅读表达Slow down, multitaskersThink you can walk, drive, take phone calls, e – mail and listen to music at the same time? Well, New York’s new law says you can’t. And you’ll be fined $ 100 if you do it on a New York City street.The law went into force last month, following the conclusion of a recent research that a shocking number of accidents are relevant to people using electronic gadgets (小玩意儿) when crossing the street.Who’s to blame? Scientists say that our multitasking abilities are limited. ―We are under the impression that our brain can do more than it often can,‖ says Rene Marois, a neuroscientist in Tennessee. ―But a core limitation is the inability to concentrate on two things at once.‖The young are often considered the great multitaskers, but a research suggests this perception is open to question. A group of 18 – to 21 – year – olds and a group of 35 – to 39 – year – olds were given 90 seconds to translate images into numbers, using a simple code. The younger group did 10 percent better than the older group . But when both groups were interrupted by a phone call or an instant message, the older group matched the younger group in speed and accuracy.It is difficult to measure the productivity lost by multitaskers. But it is probably a lot. Jonathan Spira, chief analyst at Basex, a business –research firm, estimates the cost of interruptions to the American economy at nearly $ 650 billion a year. The estimate is based on surveys with office workers. The surveys concluded that 28 percent of the worker’s time was spent on interruptions and recovery time before they returned to their main tasks.6.What’s the purpose of writing this passage?

These things have come to represent(代表, 体现), in fact, what I call 36 and love.I don’t remember my father ever getting into swimming pool. But he did 37 the water. Any kind of 38 ride seemed to give him pleasure. 39 he loved to fish; sometimes he took me along.But I never really liked being on the water, the way my father did. I liked being 40 the water, moving through it, 41 it all around me. I was not a strong 42 , or one who learned to swim early, for I had my 43 . But I loved being in the swimming pool close to my father’s office and 44 those summer days with my father, who 45 come by on a break. I needed him to see what I could do. My father would stand there in his suit, the 46 person not in swimsuit.After swimming, I would go 47 his office and sit on the wooden chair in front of his big desk, where he let me 48 anything I found in his top desk drawer(抽屉). Sometimes, if I was left alone at his desk 49 he worked in the lab, an assistant or a student might come in and tell me perhaps I shouldn’t be playing with his 50 . But my father always 51 and said easily, ― Oh, no, it’s 52 .‖ Sometimes he handed me coins and told me to get 53 an ice cream…A poet once said, ―We look at life once, in childhood; the rest is 54 .‖ And I think it is not only what we ―look at once, in childhood‖ that determines our memories, but 55 , in that childhood, looks at us.36. A. desire B. joy C. anger D. worry37. A. avoid B. refuse C. praise D. love38. A. boat B. bus C. train D. bike39. A. But B. Then C. And D. Still40. A. on B. off C. by D. in41.

He came home not because he was getting better but because he wanted to be with people he knew and loved when he died. I came by the house to visit him and his family several times a week during his treatment. On most of my visits, Chuck was very weak. But the last time I saw him alive, he was awake. ―I have got something for you.‖ He pulled out a piece of crumpled (弄皱的) paper from under his pillow. ―I want you to give this to my mom and dad after I die. You’ll know when it’s right, I guess, won’t you?‖―What is it?‖ I asked. ―It’s a list of all the fun we had, and all the happy time when we laughed.‖ I almost gasped in great surprise.―Like what?‖ I asked quietly, trying to regain my calmness.―Like the time when Mom, Dad, Chrissie, Linda and me were dressed up as fruits and Dad was driving us to a costume party. Dad was a bunch of grapes and I was an apple, and the others were different things like bananas and pears.‖And a policewoman pulled Dad over for speeding. When the policewoman came up to the car, she looked and started laughing so hard that she could hardly stand up. And we all started laughing and she said, ―Where are you all heading —a salad bar?‖ Dad said he was sorr y to be speeding, but his kids were getting so ripe(成熟的)that they were starting to draw flies. And she laughed till she had to take off her dark glasses and wiped tears from her eyes.‖Chuck laughed and so did I. The list was full of laughing and fun. What a wonderful gift, I thought.56. Why did Chuck go home from the hospital?A. He had been cured by the doctors.B. He got better and better.C. He missed his friends and teachers.D. He wanted to be with people who he knew and loved when he died.57. What did Chuck write on the list?A. What to do after his death.B. His thoughts about fear, anger and disappointment.C. What to do before his death.D. All the happy time he had with his family.58. Why did the policewoman laugh when she looked into the car?A. Because she mistook the children for fruits.B. Because she saw some flies around the children.C. Because she was frightened.D. Because the children were dressed in a funny way.59. The underlined expression ―pulled Dad over‖ probably here means ―________‖.A. stopped DadB. punished DadC. put Dad into prisonD. knocked Dad downBWhen you leave school,you can breathe sigh of relief(松口气)and leave learning behind,right?Wrong!Learning should last a lifetime. You exercise your body to stay strong,and you should exercise your mind to stay sharp.An English idiom says,―You can’t teach an old dog new tricks.‖ But scientists have discovered that isn’t true. Older people can learn,and they should,in order to keep their brain active. Now a new trend has begun in several states in the US that encourages learning. Adults can attend One Day University. They can spend a Saturday or Sunday hearing four 70-minute lectures. Each one is given by a top university professor. One of the original participants said,―It’s like a health club for the brain.‖ Also,universities like MIT have made all of their courses and lectures available online for free!Libraries offer learning programs too. With so much available,there is no excuse not to learn!Learning is a habit. Don’t leave it behind after you leave school. On the website ,author Scott Young mentions several things to help you.Always have a book. It doesn’t matter if you read fast or slow. Just read. If you read just one book a week,you’ll read 52 over the course of a year. Think of the knowledge you’ll gain!Practice it. As you read,do something with what you’ve learned. Don’t just enjoy the mental exercise. Use the knowledge. If you read about painting,try it!Make a ―to learn‖ list. Compose a ―to learn‖ list for yourself. Maybe you want to speak better English,play the piano,or cook French food. Whatever interests you,put it on your list and then make the time to do it.Teach others. Whatever you learn,teach someone else. You’ll not only help others but also understand what you’ve learned.60.What’s the best title for this passage?A.Make learning last a lifetime.B.What you should do after leaving school.C.Several tips on learning.D.A new trend in learning.61.What does the underlined part in Paragraph 1 mean?A.You don’t need to consider what you have learnt after graduation.B.You can relax as you have escaped from the hard life of studying.C.Leaving learning behind is what you should do after a break.D.You should have a good rest and then go on learning.62.How many ways of learning for adults in the US are mentioned in Paragraph 2?A.One. B.Two. C.Three. D.Four.63.Which of the following is NOT a suggestion made by Scott Young in the passage?A.Keep learning as a habit.B.Always have a book.C.List what you want to learn.D.Teach others what you learn.阅读表达You are about to become a college freshmen. You enter a college expecting to leave with a degree. The following are tips on how to get the most out of your college education.Time Management―Man is first a social animal, then a rational(理性的) one.‖ So you may find it hard to say ―No‖ each time your roommate wants to see a movie when you need to read Paradise Lost(《失乐园》).Think about what you want from college and from friends. Study after breakfast, between classes, whatever works best for you. Don’t cut off all social con tacts, which are as vital(重要的) to surviving in college as reading. Study Hegel(黑格尔) first, then catch a late movie.Study MethodWould you take a trip by ___________ instead of reading a map? Of course not. Studying in college demands more independence than in high school. Survey the material first to get a sense of it; ask some questions; write down key ideas; tell yourself the essence(本质)of what you’ve read and review it.Keeping upProfessors may not notice whether you attend a large lecture, but you could notice later on. Some professors use lectures to discuss material not found in the reading on which they will base an exam. Others stress key points. Skip at your own risk. If you must miss a lecture, get the notes in time. If too much time elapses(逝去), the notes will make no sense. Never fall more than a week behind in reading the notes. If you don’t do the reading, you won’t understand the lecture.1. What is the best title of the passage? (Please answer within 10 words.)__________________________________________________________________________2. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one?As a college student, getting yourself involved in social activities is as important as studying.3. Please fill in the blank in the fourth paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence. (Please answer within 10 words.)4. Which of the suggestions do you think is the best for you? Why?

In my own experience, the peopleI respect the most and think about the most are the teachers who demanded (要求) themost discipline (纪律) from their students.I miss one teacher in particular that I had in high school. I think she was a goodteacher because she was a very strict person. I remember very vividly (清晰地) a sign over her classroom door. It was a simple sign that said, ―Laborato ry—in this room the first five letters of the word was emphasized (强调), not the last seven.‖ In other words, I guess, labor for her was more important than oratory, which means making speeches.She prepared her work very carefully and demanded us to do the same. We got lots of homework from her. Once she had broken her arm, and everybody in the class thought that maybe the homework load would be reduced, but it continued just the same. She checked our work by stamping her name at the bottom of the papers to show that she had read them.I think sometimes teachers who demand the most are liked the least. But as timegoes by, this discipline really seems to benefit (有益于) the students.56. Which of the following is considered a good teacher by the writer?A. A patient teacher.B. An honest teacher.C. A strict teacher.D. A hard-working teacher.57. The teacher put up the sign over her classroom door ___.A. to remind the students that this room was a laboratoryB. to advise the students to follow the disciplinesC. to warn the students not to be carelessD. to tell the students to work hard in the classroom58. When the teacher’s arm was broken, she ___.A. gave her students the usual amount of homeworkB. gave her students less homeworkC. asked her students to check the homework themselvesD. gave her students more homework59. What’s the writer’s opinion of dis cipline?A. It makes the students dislike their teachers.B. It does good to the students in the long run.C. It’s too much for young children.D. It does more harm than good to the students.BWe can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people.“Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?”When I got that great job, did Jim really feel good about it, as a friend? Or did he envy(嫉妒)my luck?”“And Paul-why didn’t he pick up that he was friendly just because I had a car?”When we look back, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look ba ck, it’s too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don’t really listen we miss the feeling behind the words. Suppose someone tells you, “You’re a luck y dog.”that’s being fri endly. But“lucky dog”?There’s a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn’t see it himself. But bringing in the ―dog‖ bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is that he doesn’t think you deserve your luck.“Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for ”is another noise that says one thing and means another . It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem as part of your life as a whole. But is he? Wrapped up(包藏) in this phrase is the thought that your problem isn’t important. It’s telling you to think of all the starving people in the world when you haven’t got a date for Saturday night.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s got a date for Saturday night? Good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says agree with the tone of voice? His posture(姿态)?The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people to you may save another mistake.60.This passage is mainly about_____.A. how to interpret(understand) what people sayB. what to do when you listen to others talkingC. how to avoid mistakes when you communicate with peopleD. why we go wrong with people sometimes61.According to the author, the reason why we go wrong about our friends is that_______.A. we fail to listen carefully when they talkB. we tend to(倾向)doubt what our friends sayC. people usually state one thing but means anotherD. people tend to be annoyed when we check what they say62.In the sentence“Maybe he doesn’t see it himself.”In the second paragraph, the pronoun“it”refers to____.A. being friendlyB. a bit of envyC. lucky dogD. your luck63.When we listen to a person talking , the most important thing for us to do is _______.A. notice the way the person is talkingB. take a good look at the person talkingC. mind his tone, his posture and the look in his eyesD. examine the real meaning of what he says based on his manner, his tone and his posture。
