When your teacher gives you too much homework, when your team loses an important game, when a friend borrows your favorite video game and then breaks it, you can get really angry.Usually, your body will tell you when you are angry. For example, you breathe faster, your face turns red, and you may want to break something or hitsomeone, but sometimes, you hide your anger. For example, you may hide it in your heart. The problem is that if you do this, you may get a headache or your stomach may hurt.In fact, it’s not good to hide your anger, and it’s important for you to get angry sometimes. But anger must be let out in the right way, without hurting others or yourself.When you get angry, you can talk about it with other people. It’s helpful to talk about your anger with an adult, such as a parent, a teacher, etc. When you talk about anger, those bad feelings can start to go away. Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry: talk to a good friend; count from 1 to 100; give someone a hug; go for a bike ride; think about good things, etc.Remember that how you act when you are angry can make everything better or worse. Don’t let your anger control you.56. According to the passage, which of the followings WON’T make you angry?A. A lot of homework.B. Losing a game.C. Getting something from friends.D. Your broken video game.57. It’s better to _________ when felling angry.A. hide itB. hit someoneC. talk about itD. breathe faster58. From the passage, we know that it is ______ to get angry.A. helpfulB. normalC. wrongD. strangeCThere was a man who had a little boy that he loved very much. Every day after work the man would come home and play with the little boy. He would always spend all of his spare time playing with the little boy.One day, while the man was at work, he realized that he had extra work to do for the evening, and that he wouldn’t be able to play with his little boy. But, he wanted to be able to give the boy something to keep him busy. So, lookingaround his office, he saw a magazine with a large map of the world on the cover. He got an idea. He removed the map, and then patiently tore it up into small pieces. Then he put all the pieces in his coat pocket.When he got home, the little boy came running to him and was ready to play. The man explained that he had extra work to do and couldn’t play with him, but he led the little boy into the dining room. He took out all the pieces of the map and spread them on the table. He explained that it was a map of the world, and that by the time he put it back together, his extra work would be finished and they could both play. Surely this would keep the child busy for hours, he thought.About half an hour later the boy came to the man and said, “Okay, it’s finished. Can we play now?”Th e man was surprised, saying, “That’s impossible. Let’s go and see.” And sure enough, there was the picture of the world; all put together, every piece in its place.The man said, “That's amazing! How did you do that?” The boy said, “It was simple. On the back of the page was a picture of a man. When I put the man together, the whole world fell into place.”59. The man told his son to put a map back together because ______.A. he had little time to play with his sonB. he was tired of playing with his sonC. he had to overwork in the officeD. he wanted his son to play alone60.

Adults know little about children.C. Sometimes children surprise adults.D. Adults always care for their children.DToo often we complain about others not listening, pretending that we ourselves can’t make any mistakes, yet in our hearts we know that many of the mistakes we make come about because we haven’t listened carefully enough. We get things wrong because we haven’t quite understood what someone meant when they were talking to us. Anyone who has ever taken the minutes of a long meeting will know how hard it is to remember---despite the benefit of notes---exactly what everyone said. But success depends on getting things right---and that means listening.Listening is not the same thing as hearing; it is not an effort actively. It demands attention and concentration. It may mean guessing the speaker for additional information or for further explanation --- it is always better to ask than to continue regardless and get things wrong. However, if you allow your mind to th ink something else carelessly (freely), even for a few minutes, you’ll miss what the speaker is saying------ probably at the very moment when he or she is saying something very critical or the key things. And not having heard, you won’t know you’ve missed anything until it’s too late.The most common bad habit we have is to start thinking of what we are going to say about the subject long before the other speaker has finished. We then stop listening. Even worse, this often adds rudeness to less attention, as once you have decided what to say there is a fair chance you will interrupt to say it. Good listeners don’t interrupt. In fact it is often worth explaining the main idea of what you have just been told before going on to make your own points. Nobody is hurt by this and it shows that you have listened well.Above all be patient and accept that many people are not very good communicators. It’s helpful to remember that the ways people move andposition while they are speaking can reveal or express a great deal about what they are saying. It is also important that you should put yourself in the other person’s place, both intellectually and emotionally; it will help you to understand what they are getting at and form a reaction. But don’t be too clever. Faced with a know-all, many people keep quiet because they see no point in continuing.62. Which is the best title for this passage?A. Don’t be too cleverB. Be a good listener.C. Don’t miss anything criticalD. Think of the speaker63. In the last paragr aph, “……what they are getting at……” means ______.A. what they want to showB. what they want to getC. what they want to fightD. what they want to achieve64. What is the writer’s opinion?A. If you want to be a good listener, you should be very clever and emotional.B. Speakers won’t continue talking when their listeners explain what they’ve heard.C. It’s hard to be a good listener because listening tests you on your intelligence.D. If you don’t want to get things wrong, it’s important to be a go od listener,65. What is the lesson we can learn from this passage?A. Don’t complain about others not listening while talking with them.B. Don’t get anything wrong if you miss what the speaker is saying.C. Think carefully of what you’re going to say bef ore the speaker finishes.D. Listening inattentively may cost you the loss of your success.主观试题部分（共35分）一、听力部分二、还原句子（共4分，每题1分）I started my school life at the age of six.
