（本大题共10小题，每小题1分，共10分）Ladies and Gentlemen,Thank you for coming to attend the graduation ceremony (仪式). First of all, I’d like to congratulate all the students who are here today. I remember meeting all of you when you were just starting Grade 7 at this school. You were so full of 15 and thirsty for knowledge. And some of you were a little difficult to 16 ! But today, you’ve all grown up so much and I am so proud of you.Y ou’ve all worked very hard over the last three years, but none of you did it 17 .I hope you’ll remember the important18 in your lives who helped and supported you. Please consider what they’ve done for you. Never 19 to be thankful to the people around you.Lastly, the end of junior high school is the beginning of a new 20 . You will have many difficult tasks ahead of (在……前面) you. You’ll make mistakes along the way, but the key is to 21 your mistakes and never give up. But along with difficulties, there will also be many 22 things waiting for you. Learn the new things, and you’ll have the ability to make your own choices. Choose 23 and be responsible (承担责任) for your decisions and actions. 24 you have to go your separate ways now, I hope that you’ll come back to visit our school in a few years’ time. As you set out on your new journey, you shouldn’t forget where you came from. The future is yours.Good luck and hope to see you again sometime soon!25.

They could plan to do something special after the exam.BA group of graduates, quite successful in their businesses, got together to visit their old college teacher. Conversation soon turned into complaints about stress in work and life. Offering his students coffee, the teacher went to the kitchen, returned with a large pot of coffee and different kinds of cups — porcelain (陶瓷的), plastic, glass, some nice-looking, some expensive and some others. Then he told them to help themselves to the coffee.When all the students had a cup of coffee in hand, the teacher said, ―If you have noticed, all the nice-looking expensive cups were taken up, leaving behind the common and cheap ones. While it is natural for you to want only the best for yourselves, that is the place which your problems and stress come from.‖―Be sure that the cup itself adds no quality to the coffee. In most situations it is just more expensive and in some situations even hides what we drink. What all of you really wanted was coffee, not the cup, but you went for the best cups….And then you began watching each other’s cups.‖―Now consider this: Life is the coffee, the jobs, money and position in society are the cups. They are just tools to contain (容纳) life, and the type of cup we have does not mean anything, nor change the quality of life we live. Sometimes, by concentrating only on the cup, we fail to enjoy the coffee.‖―The happiest people don’t have the best of everything. They just make the best of everything.‖28. The successful graduates got together to ________.A. complain about their stress in life and workB. express their thanks to their respected teacherC. discuss something about their common interestsD. remember the happy days when they had been students29. The problems and stress in work and life came from ________.A. choosing the best of everythingB. failing to tell which was usefulC. not knowing how to make good use of what one hadD. too many people hoping to share the same thing30. From the passage we know that ________.A. those who are the happiest always have the best of everythingB. those who never have the best of anything are the happiestC. those who can make the best of everything are the happiestD. no one can be the happiestCTravelling is an exciting experience. It makes us feel pleased, and enjoy new wonders and new part of life that we’ve never known. A single holiday trip can give you the freedom (自由) and the chance to make changes that daily life does not allow. It isn’t very important where you go on your holiday, but it is all in what you make of it. Any travel can be interesting and attractive, and give you memories to last a lifetime.Having those memories is truly what travels are all about. Many people say that a bit of plan and research before you leave can make sure of those long-lasting memories. But why not try something unexpected? In fact, the most unforgettable moments of a travel experience are the ones that you don’t plan. Yes, maybe you’ll experienc e a bad meal in a strange place. But these experiences will make sure you find little-known shops or an open-air theatre production that is only advertised (做广告) in the local paper.You’ll find the enjoyable moments happening all around you: a wonderful sunset or a small child playing in the puddles (水洼) of a cobble (鹅卵石) road. The magic will truly be in the trip you take. Take time to go for a long walk for enjoyment when visiting a new place, which will allow you to listen, smell, and see the different cultures and sights that your busy life may stop you from enjoying.Simple things such as a leaf from a tree you sat under can keep the memories of your travel alive for years to come. Collect small things such as leaves, stones, or feathers, which can be turned into memorable (可供记忆的) works of art when you get back home.31. What can we learn from the passage?A. There is no need to choose where to go on holiday.B. Plans can make travelling become uninteresting.C. Travelling is a good way for people to understand life.D. Small things around you always make you excited.32. If you want a most unforgettable travel experience, you could ________.A. learn much more about the new placeB. research all the possible ways of travellingC. find out as many local activities as possibleD. try something unplanned33. What is really magical during the trip?A. The beautiful local sights.B. The enjoyment around you.C. The different cultures and places.D. The enjoyment after a long walk.DMaking a decision is never easy. You spend a lot of time weighing costs and benefits (获益). But you have to pick one.Now, a group of Canadian scientists say that a tiny area of our brains, called the lateral habenula (外侧缰核), may be to ―blame (责备)‖ for the difficulty of decisions.The lateral habenula is one of the smallest parts of the brain. Yet, the research has found that this brain area is connected to depression (抑郁). When scientists turned it off in a patient’s brain, the patient seemed to be happier.However, the new study might have made this more difficult to understand.In the new study, scientists trained rats to pick between two choices – receiving one piece of food regularly or four pieces less often.They choose the four pieces when they didn’t have to wait too long to receive them. But they picked the single piece as the waiting time increased. This means that rats also have the ability to weigh costs and benefits, just like humans.Scientists then turned off the lateral habenula in the rats’ brains. When they did this, the rats started making choices randomly. It seemed that they had no idea which choice might be better for them.―This finding shows how the brain works when making important decisions‖, said Professor Stan Floresco of University of British Columbia, Canada, to Science Daily.These decisions include choosing between job offers or which house to buy.It also helps to clear up scientists’ misunderstanding about the lateral habenula’s function (作用). When this area is shut off, patients with depression seem to feel better, but that might not be because th ey feel happier. ―They may simply no longer care as much about what is making them feel depressed,‖ said Floresco.34. We can tell from the first two paragraphs that _______.A. most people don’t like making decisions or choicesB. it’s good to wei gh costs and benefits before making decisionsC. it’s unnecessary to blame people who are unable to make decisionsD. scientists may have found out why it’s sometimes hard for us to make decisions35. Which of these followings about lateral habenula is TRUE?A. It’s one of the largest parts of the brain.B. It’s a newly discovered part of the brain.C. It used to be thought of as useless.D. It has more than one function.36. The underlined word ―randomly‖ in Paragr aph 7 probably means _______.A. repeatedlyB. without a good resultC. without a normal pattern (正常模式)D. regularly37. What might people do if their lateral habenulais shut down?A. They might make decisions without thinking much.B. They might feel more depressed than before.C. They might care more about other people.D. They might have a better ability to weigh costs and benefits.第II卷（主观题共40分）四、词汇运用（本大题共8小题，每小题1分，共8分）(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，在答题卷对应题号的横线上，写出单词的正确形式。
