AJust because a cat can’t see, it doesn’t mean she can’t enjoy the great outdoors.Patrick Carl, a 28-year-old filmmaker from Cork City, Ireland, proved that in a beautiful video, in which he climbs a mountain with his blind cat, Stevie, at his side.To ensure Stevie’s safety, Carl has had to train her to walk on a leash (皮带) when she goes outside.“It took a lot of patience to do this thing,” Carl told The Huffington Post. He said walking on the leash is now “the norm” for her —“she makes it look so easy.”“I think Stevie is a very good cat and I wanted to capture (用镜头捕捉) how I truly felt about her and share that with the world in a meanin gful way,” Carl said.Carl got Stevie from Cork’s Animal Care Society about three years ago, after seeing an ad on social media saying that Stevie needed a home with a patient owner who could give her special care. In an earlier video about Stevie, Carl says that he has to make sure he keeps everything in his house in the exact same place so as to not confuse the blind cat.Carl explained that he was never really a cat person, but Stevie has changed him. “That’s not to say I didn’t like cats,” he said. “It’s just that up until I met Stevie, cats didn’t really take up any of my time. But now, it’s safe to say, I’ve been changed.”He added that Stevie is just one of many animals that have been rescued from shelters or on the streets. “She wouldn’t be here today if it hadn’t been for the unbelievable hard work of the Animal Care Society in Cork,” he said.1. What is wrong with the cat, Stevie?A. She is too fat to do exercise.B. She was once badly treated.C. She is blind and can’t see.D. She doesn’t like to go outside.2. Why does Carl tie a leash on Stevie?A. To avoid someone stealing her.B. To make sure she is safe while walking.C. To make sure she can walk easily.D. To avoid losing her when walking.3. Why does Carl arrange everything in the same place?A. He doesn’t want Stevie to make a mess.B. He wants to be more patient.C. He wants to train Stevie to get smarter.D. He wants to give Stevie a familiar home.4. What was Carl like before he met Stevie?A. He had never had a cat.B. He was very interested in cats.C. He didn’t like cats very much.D. He didn’t feel very safe.BIf your childhood memories are filled with summers spent chasing fireflies (萤火虫), then you’re going to love this new theme park in China. It is dedicated to the glowing insects that naturally light up their habitat at night.The park, located at the East Lake Peony Gard en in Wuhan City, central China’s Hubei Province, is home to about 10,000 fireflies. The insects are divided into five separate zones —the flying zone, the observation zone, the zero-distance contact zone, the breeding zone, and the science popularization (普及) zone. Each zone is meant to satisfy different categories of visitors, right from casual visitors to researchers.Breeding fireflies is a rather costly affair — around 10 yuan (US$1.61) per insect — but totally worth it from a business point of view, as the Chinese seem to be positively in love with them. They will pay a large amount of money to see the small insects twinkle at night, and tickets for such parks are usually sold out in several days as soon as they hit the market.Fireflies were a normal part of summer nights through most of China, but their numbers have been going down for years, as a result of pollution and destruction of their natural habitats. Taking advantage of this sad situation, businessmen have been setting up firefly parks (not all of them are environmentally friendly, and some even sell jars full of live fireflies online).Since fireflies are seasonal, the park opened on May 29 this year and continued to operate until early October. However, following the success it enjoyed this year, the Wuhan firefly park has become an annual event, and will open again next year.They’ve got lots of attractions at the park — dinosaur exhibitions, camping festivals, family walks and children’s activities, all held under the warm glow of fireflie s.5. The underlined phrase, “is dedicated to”, in the first paragraph can be replaced by _____.A. is limited toB. is designed forC. is put up withD. is separated from6. If you want to know about the habits of fireflies, which zone should you go to?A. The flying zone.B. The breeding zone.C. The science popularization zone.D. The zero-distance contact zone.7. Why is the number of fireflies becoming smaller and smaller these years?A. Because it is hard to breed fireflies.B. Because they are killed for research.C. Because their natural habitats are being destroyed.D. Because they have all been collected in the theme park.8. What can we learn about this new theme park?A. It consists of four separate zones.B. It operates all the year around.命题人:王秀平C. All the fireflies in it are displayed in jars.D. It gained fame after it was opened.CWhen you study abroad in France, you can expect to be treated the same as your native (当地的) classmates, whether in a lecture or a discussion class.While you can study abroad in France and concentrate on nearly any subject, it’s the students with a passion for the arts, architecture and history that rush to the country in the largest numb ers. And that’s no shock, considering that France has been the center of the arts for centuries.As students of the arts, you will have to make careful use of your time, given all that France has to offer:●Visit the Louvre to view the works of French arti sts such as Monet, Matisse and Renoir;●Read the works of such French literary geniuses as Baudelaire, Proust and Voltaire;●Listen to the music of Debussy, or more contemporary (当代的) artists like Air and Daft Punk.France is also a main destination for architecture students, as you will see architecture in nearly every style:●The Gothic Chateau de Chambord, built in the 1500s;● Place Dauphine built in 1607 in Baroque style;● The post-modern housing development, Marne-la-Vallee.History students will find that France has been where the action is for quite some time. Over the course of the centuries, it has been the stage for the most important developments in the history of mankind, including the French Revolution, the rise of Napoleon and the rise of the Fifth Republic under President Charles de Gaulle. It was also the site of the D-Day invasion (诺曼底登陆) of World War II.As a possible study abroad location, France has a lot to offer, because the combination of educational institutions (教育机构), arts and culture, and national history are second to none.9. What can we learn about studying abroad in France from the text?A. Students from China are usually treated badly.B. There are many lectures and discussion classes.C. Few students choose to study in France.D. France is the best place for students who love the arts.10. According to the text, you can see many kinds of architecture in France, such as ____.① post-modern housing developments② Baroque style buildings③ the Big Ben④ Gothic architectureA. ①②③B. ①③④C. ①②④D. ②③④11. The text is most likely taken from _______.A. a history bookB. a study abroad websiteC. an architecture advertisementD. a fashion magazineD“When something is lovely, do we get the urge to squeeze(挤扁)it?” National Geographic’s Emily Tye asked Saturday’s Weird Animal Question of the Week. “Seems dangerous, in terms of evolution (进化)!”“Rest assured (毫无疑问)”, Emily said. “You’re not alone.”In a 2015 study in Psychological Science, Yale University psychologist Oriana Aragon and her team found that people who had extremely positive reactions to images of cute babies also “displayed stronger aggressive(侵略性的)expressions,” such as wa nting to pinch (捏) the babies’ cheeks.Speaking of pinching, another experiment in the recent study found that participants squeezed more bubble wrap when they saw images of cute baby animals than those who viewed images of older animals.This shows that, if given the chance to squeeze something while seeing the cute pictures, they would — though not with any real intent to harm the creatures.So what explains our impulse(冲动)to squeeze or gently bite lovely animals? For some people, experiencing a strong e motion is followed by “an expression of what one would think is an opposing feeling,” says Aragon. Here’s the science behind why we find some animals so cute.“So you may have tears of joy, nervous laughter, or may be wanting to squeeze something that you think is unbearably cute” —even if it’s an animal you’d normally want to hug or protect.That secondary reaction may also serve to weaken and temper (调和) their initial emotion that is too strong, thus bringing the person into balance.For instance, the 2015 study showed people who had such positive and negative concurrent (并存的) reactions regained their emotional balance more quickly.And if you’re caring for something lovely, that’s important. “Because they may help people to regain control over their strong emotions, these expressions help the caretaker to care for an animal or baby properly,” Aragon says.12. People who act very positively towards something tend to ____________________.A. lose controlB. destroy the thingC. cause harm to the thingD. express themselves in an aggressive way13. What usually follows if one experiences a strong emotion?A. A strong expression.B. A serious thought.C. An opposite feeling.D. An unbelievable impulse.14. What may be the reason for people crying when they are overjoyed?A. To be more positive and stronger.B. To express their different emotions.C. To strengthen their various emotions.D. To balance their emotions better.15. The article explains its theory by ________.A. giving examplesB. analyzing figuresC. listing dataD. making descriptions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。

ABest Venice ToursGrand CanalConsidered to be the main street of Venice, the 2-mile-long Grand Canal is one of the city’s most popular and highly photographed attractions. If you’re hoping to hire a gondolier (贡多拉船夫) for a romantic (but expensive) row along the canal, plan to pay between 80 and 120 euros for the ride. Many others suggested hopping aboard the vaporetto (水上巴士), or the public water taxi, for a much cheaper experience. Vaporetto Line I travels down the Grand Canal. Travel experts strongly recommend purchasing a Venezia Unica City Pass if you don’t plan on walking the entirety of your trip due to the high cost of one-way fare.Rialto BridgeSeveral centuries ago, the Rialto Bridge was the only way to cross the Grand Canal. There are now four major bridges that cross the canal, but the Rialto Bridge is by far the most famous. The bridge is a design work of Antonio da Ponte. Predicted to fail by critics, the bridge still stands and is considered an engineering wonder.Campanile di San MarcoThis particular bell tower was built in the early 20th century, as a reproduction of the 16th-century one, which was used by Galileo Galilei to set his telescope. It also served as a stage for tight rope walkers during the Fl ight of the Angel celebration. Today’s bell tower, with a 324-foot height, is used for sightseers who want to have a full view of Venice. To avoid crowds, travelers say it’s best to go early in the morning or late in the evening.St. Mark’s SquareSt. Mark’s Square, or Piazza San Marco, is considered to be the heart of Venice. As the largest square in Venice, St. Mark’s Square is the only “piazza” in the city. It’s strongly recommended that visitors visit the square either early in the morning or late in the evening simply because of the crowds. The restaurants and shops in the square are very expensive. It’s recommended that visitors walk a few streets away from the square to find more reasonably priced meals and souvenirs. 1.Why is a Venezia Unica City Pass recommended?A. To pay for the public transportation at a lower price.B. To ensure visitors take the best photos of the attractions.C. To enable visitors to experience a romantic trip with a gondolier.D. To help save money for the tickets of the most popular attractions.2.Which of the following attractions has some connections with space science?A. Grand Canal.B. Piazza San Marco.C. Rialto Bridge.D. Campanile di San Marco.3.In which section of a website can we probably read this text?A. Tourism.B. Food.C. Science.D. Arts.BWhen presented with a Make-A-Wish grant, most 13-year-old boys would buy a gaming system or take a trip to Disney World. But Abraham Olagbegi is not like most teens!Abraham is recovering from a bone marrow transplant (骨髓移植) resulting from rare genetic blood disorder. Last year was a scary time for him and his family, but the transplant was successful, and he’s now on a path to good health. When he found out he was qualified for Make-A-Wish, he shocked everyone with his request.“I remember we were coming home from one of his doctor appointments and he said, ‘Mom, I thought about it, and I really want to feed the homeless,’” said Miriam Olagbegi, Abraham’s mother. “I said, ‘Are you sure, Abraham? You could do a lot… You are sure you don’t want a PlayStation?’”Abraham’s whole family thought it was a great idea, especially since they’ve tried to teachtheir kids to give freely and openly to others whenever possible. In the 13-year-old’s words, “My parents always taught us t hat it’s a blessing to be a blessing.”Make-A-Wish granted Abraham’s special request, spending a day in September handing out ,free plates of food to people experiencing homelessness in Jackson, Mississippi. Local businesses donated all of the food and supplies, and together they managed to feed about 80 people!Abraham said seeing the gratitude on their faces made his wish come true and “warms our hearts”. Now the Make-A-Wish team will continue Abraham’s program named Abraham’s Table every month.We’re just very excited to be able to continue on this program. It’s just so rewarding.” Miriam said. “If I was out there on the streets, homeless, I would want somebody at some point to think of me and to do something special for me. So, that’s what I try to te ach my kids and we just try to pay it forward, by doing what we were raised to do.”4.What did Abraham Olagbegi request as a wish?A. A gaming system.B. A trip to Disney World.C. Free food for the homeless.D. Donation of his family’s income.5.How did A braham’s family react to his request?A. They felt confused.B. They were unsatisfied.C. They tried to change his mind.D. They fully supported it.6.What do we learn about Abraham’s parents?A. They are rich and generous.B. They are very strict parents.C. They influence Abraham positively.D. They decide everything for Abraham. 7.What is a suitable title for the text?A. Abraham’s Special WishB. Abraham’s Journey to Good HealthC. Influence of Family Value on AbrahamD. Community Support in Abraham’s T ableCAustralian teenagers are missing important, basic kitchen skills and it’s having a negative influence on their health. It’s also leading our next generation towards increased rates of obesity (肥胖), according to the findings of a new survey.A national survey of 1,006 parents found that close to half of all 12 to 18 years old teenagers can’t boil an egg; 1 in 5 only have kitchen skills that allow them to pour milk on cereal; 42%can’t boil noodles; 83.9%don’t know how to roast a chicken; 60.1 percent can’t bake a potato.Research company Pureprofile asked parents to judge how well their kids could perform in the kitchen across some tasks. More than half (67.3%) of parents believe their children could do betterwhen it comes to healthy food and lifestyle knowledge. Close to half of parents (42.5%) believe poor food choices are caused by lack of education at middle school, with 9 in 10 parents in support of schools doing more to encourage a healthy lifestyle.Miriam Raleigh, an expert on the relationship between food and health, said she was already seeing a generation of young parents who had “no idea how to cook”. “They depend on convenience meals and easy snacks, and those foods often have a higher fat and salt content which can lead to obesity and a lot of health problems,” Ms Raleigh said.The school’s Kitchen Garden program founder, Stephanie Alexander, said that if more was not done to improve the situation we would be heading towards a generation of fatter and more unhealthy kids. Ms Alexander also said she would introduce her Kitchen Garden program into middle schools so teenagers can learn the art of cooking food.“I’m so proud of what we have achieved in the primary school and I really believe we can have the same success in middle schools,” she said.8.What did the national survey find about Australian teenagers?A. They eat unhealthy food.B. They are poor at cooking.C. They like convenience meals.D. They are interested in cooking. 9.What’s the function of paragraph 2?A. Explaining the reasons.B. Providing the data.C. Making comparisons.D. Giving examples.10.What did Miriam Raleigh try to express?A. Her worry about the unhealthy lifestyle.B. Her concern in young parents’ education.C. The way to reduce obesity in young people.D. The need to improve everyone’s cooking skills.11.What is the purpose of this passage?A. To teach teenagers cooking.B. To care about teenagers’ health.C. To improve school education.D. To promote a cooking program.DA small group of Cuban dive instructors have started a project to grow coral (珊瑚) and replant it. The divers hope to restore part of Cuba’s barrier reef (堡礁). And they are working with limited financial support and using materials recovered from the coast.Luis is one of the project’s leaders. The 44-year-old fisherman grew up on Cuba’s north coast. He said, “It’s incredible to see the loss of coral in the past 30 years.” He added, “Our dream is tomake the parts of the barrier reef that have lost their coral grow again.”To make that happen, Luis worked with other dive instructors and neighborhood schoolchildren with the support from Cuba’s environmental organizations. They began collecting pieces of coral spread across the ocean floor after large storms three years ago. The pieces were then hung on branches of underwater “trees” made from old plastic pipes and supported by fishing lines recovered from the coast. They were then “replanted” on the coral reef, fixed by nails driven into the rock. In a year, most survive and grow enough to repopulate the part of the barrier reef between 60 to 80 meters in length.Like many coral reefs around the world, the ones in Cuba are threatened by changing water temperatures, destructive plants and animals, pollution and over-fishing. It is reported that the world has already lost 30 to 50 percent of its coral reefs.Karine is a French diver who just visited Cuba for the first time. She said the reef looked better than others she had seen on dives elsewhere in the world, including in Africa. “The cora l needs to be protected,” she said after two dives on a recent trip to nearby Varadero. She said, “It’s good to see that in Cuba they take care of what they have, and that it is still not too affected by too much tourism.”12.What can we infer from the rec overy of the Cuba’s barrier reef?A. It is just a new project to start.B. It is a slow and difficult process.C. It is mainly carried out by schoolchildren.D. It is greatly supported by the government.13.How do the dive instructors fix the pieces of coral on the reef?A. They are fastened to the rock by fishing lines.B. They are supported by the trees on the ocean floor.C. They are placed firmly by nails driven into the rock.D. They are hung by old plastic pipes collected on the coast.14.What does the underlined word “destructive” in paragraph 4 mean?A. Endangered.B. Beneficial.C. Plentiful.D. Harmful.15.What is Karine’s attitude towards the Cubans’ effort to recover the coral reef?A. Doubtful.B. Concerned.C. Positive.D. Disappointed.第二节(共5小题;每小题2.5分,满分12.5分)阅读下面短文,从短文后的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。

He makes themunder a microscope (显微镜 ). He uses a small diamond tied to the point of a needle to shape the pieces. Then heapplies the paint with the hair of a fly. Some of his sculptures can take four months to finish. All of his works areinvisible to the naked eye (肉眼 ). The pieces must be displayed in special cases equipped with microscopes.To create his small works, Wigan holds his breath. Wigan says he works between heartbeats to stop the pulsein his finger from destroying the sculptures. But Wigan once made a terrible disaster. While creating a scene fromAlice’ s Adventures in Wonderland, he breathed by accident. As a result, much work had to restart.As a child, Wigan had difficulty in learning.

One Sunday night, thinking myself a very independentgrown- up, I left my uncle’ s house in South Laguna after a visit, without telling him that I had less than one eighthof a tank (油箱 ) of gas and no cash to get my car refilled on the way to Los Angeles. I drove on the Pacific CoastHighway and watched the needle descend as I headed north. Soon I started running on fumes (烟 ), and I pulledinto a gas station. There was no self-service then. There were no credit cards and no ATMs.I begged the guy at the station. I could write him a check for gas, or I could sleep in my car and try to walk toa town with a bank the next morning. Whatever I said, the guy just turned a deaf ear to my words. I fell intodespair. Then, a station wagon (旅行车 ) pulled up to the next pump. The driver, a thin, plain and middle-aged guy,overheard the tail end of my failed plea ( 恳求 ). As the attendant went to serve him, he nodded at me.“ Fil tank first,” he said.“ Really?” I can’ t believe my ears.“ Please fill her tank first,” the m you. Thank you. But please, I just need two bucks’ worth. I just need to get home.”“ Fill it,the attendant. Then to me,“ You’ ll do the same one day, for someone else.”Over the years, I have kept looking for that unfortunate guy, hoping to fill his tank, or save him a night on theroad. Even though he never shows up, I try other forms of kindness. That driver is always at the pump a few feetaway, instructing the attendant to fill my tank first.43.

Children grew up knowingtheir cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents and other relatives. These children felt connected.In these not too long ago times people were connected to their food. Most people grew their own vegetables andfruit. Many families had a house cow for milk, cheese, butter and cream. Most families also had meat animals.When visitors came unexpectedly, dad would kill the chicken for dinner. Everyone was involved in cooking andmealtimes were a social event. When the meal ended, most of the family members were involved in cleaning upand washing up. How different is the situation today?The fast life is all around us—fast food, fast cars, fast conversations and fast holidays, etc. Our fast-pacedlife has weakened those connections. We have been fooled into thinking that we need, or even must, be fast andaccept what the fast life gives us. As a result, stress is leading to many new health problems.The solution to this problem is the Slow Movement. It aims to address the issue of“ time pove making connections. It supports a growing cultural shift towards slowing down. It has spread to more than sixtycountries and become a worldwide movement.The Slow Movement tells us that we need to slow down and connect with our life. We need connection to people—ourselves, our family, our community and our friends.By being part of the Slow Movement, many people have known how they lost connection to most aspects oftheir lives and to the natural world. And more importantly, they get reconnected— they have lived a newconnected lifestyle.47.

AWomen had a significant part to play during World War Ⅱ,which was the time when women also made their own contributions. Some women’s great efforts and their names have been recorded in history. Here’s a look at some of the strong figures of women in World War Ⅱ.Tatiana Nikolaevna Baramzina was born in Glazov of Russia on December 12,1919.In 1943,she was sent to the Central Women’s Sniper Training School and upon her graduation in April,she was further sent to the front. She managed to kill around 16 enemies in the first three months!Unfortunately,she was captured(俘虏) by the enemies and was killed on the fifth of July in 1944.Today,the street where she grew up has been renamed in her memory.Anne Frank was a German-born Jewish girl who was well-known for the publication of her diary that described(描述) all her experiences when the Germans occupied Holland in World War Ⅱ.Anne was born on June 12,1929 and she,along with her family,went into hiding in July 1942.Two years later,her family was captured and seven months after her arrest(被捕),Anne Frank died of illness in early March 1945.Margaret Ringenberg was born on 17 June,1921,in Indiana of America. She began her career during World War Ⅱ when she became a ferry pilot for the Women Airforce Service Pilots. After that she turned a flight instructor in 1945.She even wrote her own book named Girls Can’t Be Pilots. She passed away on 28 July, 2008, after flying for 40,000 hours in the air.Hannah Szenes was born on 17th July,1921 and was trained to parachute(用降落伞空投) by the British army into Yugoslavia during World War Ⅱ.This task was given in order to save the Jews of Hungary. Her secret mission was not revealed even when she was tortured(折磨) following her arrest at the Hungarian border. Hannah Szenes had to brave immense tortures,yetshe did not lose heart. She bravely battled it out and tried to sing to keep her spirits high!She also kept a record of events in her diary till 7th November,1944,when she was finally killed.These names are just a few of the women who played a significant part in World War Ⅱ.Their stories go a long way in showing the kind of lifestyles they led and their struggles and sacrifices.1.What is mainly discussed in the text?A.Women were braver than men in World War Ⅱ.B.Women and men made equal contributions in World War Ⅱ.C.Women played a significant role in World War Ⅱ.D.Women’s death rate was high in World War Ⅱ.2.Who were killed by the enemy in the war?A.Tatiana Baramzina and Anne Frank.B.Hannah Szenes and Tatiana Baramzina.C.Anne Frank and Margaret Ringenberg.D.Margaret Ringenberg and Hannah Szenes.3.It can be learned from the text that ________.A.Tatiana Baramzina was once a flight instructorB.Margaret Ringenberg was the best at writing about the war experiencesC.Anne Frank and her family were arrested by Germans in 1944D.Hannah Szenes was arrested by Germans because of her diary4.The underlined word “brave” in Paragraph 5 means “________”.A.fully accept B.greatly enjoyC.think in a cool way D.face without fearBYou may know the English letters A, B and C. But do you know there are people called ABC? You may like eating bananas. But did you know there is such a thing as a “banana person”? How strange! Are these people from “another earth”? No. They are just Chinese people like you and me.ABC means American-born Chinese. An ABC is a Chinese, but was born in the United States. Sometimes, people call an ABC a “banana person”. A banana is yellow outside and white inside. So, when a person is a banana, he or she is white inside-thinking like a Westerner and yellow outside-looking like a Chinese.Do you know why? Usually, ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language. Some of them don’t speak Chinese. Also, they are not interested in Chines e politics.But if ABCs cannot speak Chinese, can we still call them Chinese people? Yes, of course. They are Chinese. They are overseas Chinese. These people may be citizens of another country like the US, Canada or Singapore. But they have Chinese blood. Their parents, grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China. They all have black eyes and black hair. But they are not Chinese citizens. They are not people of the People’s Republic of China. For example, we all know the famous scientist C. N. Yang. He got the Nobel Prize for Physics in 1957. Chinese people love him. But he is an American citizen.5. “ABC” in this text stands for “_______”.A. three English lettersB. a kind of bananaC. Chinese born in AmericaD. Americans born in China6. Chinese in Western countries are called “banana persons” because __________.A. their bodies are white inside but yellow outsideB. they think like Westerners but look like ChineseC. they were born in China but go to study in AmericaD. they are Chinese who look like bananas7. C. N. Yang is mentioned here to show that ________.A. American Chinese are greatB. we love American ChineseC. Chinese people can win Nobel PrizesD. American Chinese are not Chinese citizens8. This text is mainly about _________.A. different kinds of bananasB. overseas ChineseC. the Nobel PrizeD. the life story of C. N. YangCDear Sir,I have to travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along their route: the number 49 and number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road it is always full, so I can’t get on it. I have to wait for the number 49, because sometimes there are empty seats on it.The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is so, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?The regulations (规章) say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. Why do the half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop?The regulations say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport.I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 of them.It is clear that our bus companies break the regulations and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service better?Yours,9.

They don’t want anyone to go shopping that day.Buy Nothing Day is November 29. It’s 25 days before Christmas. It’s after Thanksgiving and often the first day of Christmas shopping. At this time, we see ads in newspapers and on TV telling us to “buy, buy,buy!”The idea for Buy Nothing Day started in Vancouver, British Columbia. Now people all over the world celebrate Buy Nothing Day. In California, parents and children get together to read stories, sing songs, and paint pictures. The children talk about why they don’t need a lot of toys. This year, in Manchester, England, people dressed up to tell people that we buy too much.In Albuquerque, New Mexico, high school students wanted to tell other students about Buy Nothing Day. They organized a spaghetti dinner to give people information about Buy Nothing Day. They asked restaurants in the neighborhood to donate(捐赠)the food. They made posters and talked to other students about it. The dinner was a big success, and many students agreed not to buy anything on November 29.

AI was never very neat, while my roommate Kate was extremely organized. Each of her objects had its place, but mine always hid somewhere. She even labeled(贴标签) everything. I always looked for everything. Over time, Kate got neater and I got messier. She would push my dirty clothing over, and I would lay my books on her tidy desk. We both got tired of each other.War broke out one evening. Kate came into the room. Soon, I heard her screaming, “Take your shoes away! Why under my bed!” Deafened, I saw my shoes flying at me. I jumped to my feet and started yelling. She yelled back louder.The room was filled with anger. We could not have stayed together for a single minute without a phone call. Kate answered it. From her end of the conversation, I could tell right away her grandma was seriously ill. When she hung up, she quickly crawled(爬) under her covers, weeping. Obviously, that was something she should not go through alone. All of a sudden, a warm feeling of sympathy rose up in my heart,Slowly, I collected the pencils, took back the books, made my bed, cleaned the socks and swept the floor, even on her side. I got so into my work that I even didn’t noticed Kate had sat up. She was watching, her tears dried and her expression one of disbelief. Then, she reached out her hands to grasp mine. I looked up into her eyes. She smiled at me. “Thanks.”Kate and I stayed roommates for the rest of the year. We didn’t always agree, but we learned the key to living together: giving in, cleaning up and holding on.1.What made Kate angry one evening?A. She couldn’t find her books.B.

That’s a wonderful thing, because this fresh start gives us a chance to reinvent our lives and ourselves. Here’s how.Let goMany times we are held back by our previous failures,emotions and barriers(障碍). This is all old baggage. Let everything unhappy from the past go. Let go of failures. Let go of fears you’ve built up. Let go of your ideas about what your life has to be like. Let go of long-held beliefs and habits which seem to be burdens(负担) to you.Clear away distractions(分心)Clear away email, your favourite blogs and news websites. Clearaway the iPhone or Blackberry, and clear away all the chores that pull at your attention. In fact, if you can, shut off the Internet for a while. You can come back to it after you take a break.Decide what matters most todayForget about your goals for all of this year. Instead, decide what you want to do today. What matters most to you and your life? What are you most passionate(热情的) about right now? What excites you? What gives you the most fulfillment(满足感)? Often the answer would be in creating something, making something new, helping others, becoming a better person, and working on a project that you will be proud of. But whatever your answer, have it clear in your mind at the beginning of the day.Reinvent yourself every dayEvery day, you are reborn.Reinvent yourself and your life. Do what matters most to you. It might be the same thing that mattered most yesterday, or it might not be. That isn’t important. What’s important is today---right now! Be passionate, and be happy!You’ll have a fresh start every single day---not just on January 1 of a new year.5.Writing this passage, the author seems to be ________.A. strictB. peacefulC. nervousD. confident6.The underlined word “chores” refers to ______.A. modern technologyB. unimportant thingsC. online informationD. fashinable devices7.Which of the following is the writer’s suggestion according to the passage?A.

Live a Better Life in Every New DayDuring my elementary school years, I used to compare my mom with my best friend Tiffany's mom.Tiffany's mom always gave her lots of money to buy the most fashionable clothes and favorite food. Her mom allowed her to do anything she liked. I really admired Tiffany. My mom didn't give me much pocket money and she always told me that I should behave myself. I was annoyed with her.Whenever I didn't get what I wanted, I would complain to my mom, Tiffany's mom would give her that! I wish she were my mom. Every time, my mom would calmly say "Poor Tiffany". I couldn't understand her. "She shouldn't be feeling sorry for Tiffany!" I thought. "She should be feeling sorry for me."One day, I couldn't help saying to Mom, "Poor Tiffany? Lucky Tiffany! She gets everything she wants! Why do you feel sorry for her?" I burst into tears. My mom sat down next to me and said softly. "Yes, I do feel sorry for her. I have been teaching you a lesson that she will never be taught."I looked up at her. "What are you talking about?"Mom said with care, "One day she will really want something. Maybe she'll find out that she can't have it. Her mother won't always be around to give her money, and what's more, money can't buy everything."She continued, "I have taught you valuable lessons by not giving you everything you want. You'll know how to look for bargains and save money, but she won't. You'll understand that you need to work hard to get the things that you want but she won't. When Tiffany is a grown woman, she'll wake up one day and she will be wishing that she had a mom like the one you've got. Life lessons are more important than modern clothes and delicious food."It took some time, but I eventually understood my mom's words. Now I am a happy and successful woman.9.During the author's elementary school years, she __________.A. wished that her mom were as good as Tiffany'sB. went to school with Tiffany every dayC. usually compared her lesson with Tiffany'sD. sometimes gave lots of money to Tiffany10.Why did the author's mom always say "Poor Tiffany"?A.

Just like the old saying goes, we should give a better assumption to the one than we think he was. But many of us always fail to do this.Take the situation of my class for example. Right at the beginning of the first semester when we were freshmen we all showed great favor to each other. And when there was an activity that needed some people to join, we would be willing to attend whether it was interesting or not. And we were really like brothers and sisters, and our class was just like a family, a warm family. But now, I feel tired of those meaningless activities not only because of the boring activities themselves but also the cool response of our classmates.I think the reasons why the passion of most classmates is so low may be as follows:To start with, many of us take part in more than one organization, which will certainly make us tired. Also, in the study fields, many of us may find that our courses are sometimes difficult to understand or comprehend, especially the specialized subjects. Moreover, “history”teaches us that if one does not study hard, it is possible to fail in the exams. So it is a big and good excuse to say that “I do really want to attend, but I have a lot of homework to do, so...”Last but not least, some people believe that some of our leaders should not be regarded as a leader, maybe I should say we, as leaders, lost the reputation, support and trust of yours. At least I am the warm-hearted one, although I cannot promise you that your advice will be adopted surely, at least I will spare no effort to “give” you the right to be heard, and to serve you.Be active to show your talents and abilities and to create a better image of our class. Most important of all, work painstakingly for a better condition that we should have reached.13.Which of the following statements is TRUE?A.
