AAre you interested in making a film? In fact making a film t akes a long time and is very hard work. Writing the story for th e film may take many weeks. Shooting the film often takes at l east six months. Actors and cameramen work from very earlyin the morning until late at night. Each scene has to be acted and re-acted, filmed and re-filmed, until it is just right. Sometimes the same scene has to be acted many times.The film studio is like a large factory, and the indoor stage s are very big indeed. Scenery of all kinds is made in the studi o. Churches, houses, and forests are all built of wood and car dboard. Several hundred people work together to make one fil m. Some of these people are the actors and actresses. The di rector of the film, however, is the most important person in a fi lm studio. He decides how the scenes should be filmed and h ow the actors should act.Most people go to see a film because they know the film s tars are in it. Sometimes the film may be very poor. It is best t o choose a film made by a good director. Some famous direct ors make their films very real; people feel that they themselve s are among the people in the films.1. Making a film is________.A. quite interestingB. very easyC. quite funnyD. very difficult2. The underlined word “shooting” in the first paragraph mean s _____.A. killingB. watchingC. developingD. making3. The most important person in a film studio is the .A. actorB. directorC. actressD. writer4. Which would be the best title for the passage? .A. Actors and actressesB. Making a filmC. A directorD. Writing the storyBDo you have a best friend? In America, when people say “man’s best friend”,they don’t mean another person. Instead, they are talking abo ut a lovely animal-dog! These words show the friendship between people and a nimals. Dogs and other pets can give happiness to people’s li ves. Some people think of their pets as their children. A few e ven leave all their money to their pets when they die!Animals can help people, too. Dogs can be taught to be th e “eyes” for a blind person or “ears” for a deaf person. Scienti sts have found that pets help people live longer! They make p eople happier, too. Because of that, animals are brought into hospitals for “visits”.Americans hold “Be Kind to Animals Week”in the first we ek of May. Pet shows are held during the week. Even if you d on’t live in America, you can do this, too. How? First, think about how animals make your life richer. If you have a pet, take more time this week to play with it. Remember to give it delici ous food. Also, be sure to keep your pet from those unwanted babies. If you don’t have a pet, be kind to animals around yo u. For example, if you see a dog on the street, don’t kick it or t hrow things at it. Instead, just leave it alone, or better yet, mak e friends with it. If others around you do bad things to an anim al, try to stop them. As people, we must protect animals who c an’t speak for themselves.5. Why are dogs brought into hospitals? ________.A. Because they can make the patients happier.B. Because they can find out the problems of the patients.C. Because they are ill and need to see doctors.D. Because doctors can do experiments on them.6. What is the most popular activity on the “Be Kind to Animal s Week”? ________.A. Playing with pets the whole week.B. Making friends with ot her people's pets.C. Cooking delicious food for pets.D.

Dogs can help people do many things.D. A lot of people ar e interested in dogs.CThe time may soon come when we say goodbye to most of th e world’s languages. Today humansexpress themselves in over 6,000 different languages. But tha t is quickly changing. Many scientists say that over half of the se languages will disappear within the next 50 years. After 10 0 years, the languagesused in the world will not be more than 20.Why? It is because people from different cultures live and work together much more often than before. This brings chan ges. The languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures. Most international trad e takes place in world languages such as English. People res pect their own cultures and traditions, but when it comes to ge tting a job, knowing a world language is often necessary. It m ay mean the difference between success and failure.People in different cultures think it good for them to share a popular language. They can quickly share ideas and work to gether. Knowing the same language means easier communic ation and is a basis for trust.Is the death of a small local language such a terrible thing? The answer is maybe. Many cultures may have words for ma ny useful things we know nothing about. If their languages die , their valuable wisdom may be lost forever. The future of the world’s language depends on our actions now. Will we protect endangered languages or allow them to quietly disappear? Time will have the last word.Scientists say that within 50 years, perhaps, there will be only _______languages in the world.A. 6,000B. over 3,000C. around 3,000D. less than209. In “the languages of the world’s main cultures are replacing the languages of the smaller cultures.”the underlined word “replace” means “_______”.A. to put something back into a correct placeB. to take the pla ce of somethingC. to find the good place for something D. to decide how important s omething is10. The passage says that if all the people in the world knewa popular world language, _______.A. people would respect their own culture moreB. people would have no trouble in learning languageC. lessons at schools would be taught in the languageD. it would be easier for them to share their ideas11. According to the passage, if nobody spoke the languages of smaller cultures, _______.A. there would be no smaller culturesB. knowledge would come from the mouths of the eldersC. people would have difficulty in working togetherD. many of the words for things we do not know would be lostDHave you wondered why different animals or pests have t heir particular colours? Colours in them seem to be used mai nly to protect themselves.Birds, especially seagulls are very fond of locusts (蝗虫), but birds can’t easily catch locusts because locusts chang e their colours together with the change of the colour of crops. When crops are green, locusts look green. But when crops ar e ripe, locusts take on exactly the same brown colour as crop s have. Some other pests with different colours from plants ar e usually easily found and eaten by their enemies. So they ha ve to hide themselves in terror for lives and appear only at nig ht.If you study the animal life in any part of the world, you willfind the main use of colouring is to protect them. Bears, wolve s and other beasts move quietly through forests. They are usu ally invisible(can’t be seen) to the eyes of hunters, because they have the colour much like the bark(树皮)of trees.An even more strange act remains to be noticed. A kind of fish living in seas can send out a kind of very black liquid whe n it faces danger. While the liquid is over, its enemies cannot f ind it, and it quickly swims away. Thus, it has existed up to no w though it is not powerful at all.12. This passage mainly talks about _______.A. the change of colour in locustsB. animals or pests dye(染色)themselves different coloursC. the protective colour of animals and pestsD. how a certain sea fish protects itselfLocusts are pests but they aren’t easily wiped out by their ene mies because _______.A. they fly very fastB. they are dangerous to their enemiesC. they change colors with the cropsD.they are powerful enough14. The pests that have different colours from plants usually a ppear at night because _______.A. their enemies can easily find them and eat themB. they have the habit of coming out in darknessC. it’s easy for them to destroy plants in darknessD. birds take their rests when night comes15. A certain fish living in seas has lived through millions of ye ar because _______.A. it is the most powerful in the seaB. no other fishes can swim as fast as it canC. the liquid it sends out can kill its enemiesD. the liquid it sends out makes its enemies unable to find it 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。

AMr. Lee was in bed and was trying to go to sleep when he heard the bell ring. He turned on the light and looked at his clock. It was twelve o'clock. "Who can it be at this time of night?" He thought. He decided to go and find out. So he got off bed, put on his dressing gown (浴袍) and went to the door. When he opened the door, there was nobody there. "That is very strange." Then he went back to his bedroom, took off his dressing gown, got back into bed, turned off the light and tried to go to sleep. A few minutes later he heard the bell again. Mr. Lee jumped out of bed very quickly and rushed to the door. He opened it, but again he found no one there. He closed the door and tried not to feel angry. Then he saw a piece of paper on the floor. He picked it up. There were some words on it : "It is now after midnight(午夜), so it is April Fools’ Day.

Some people seem to think it's for practicing grammar rules and earning lists of words—the longer the list, the better. That's wrong.Language is for the exchange(交流)of ideas and information.It's meaningless knowing all about a language if you can't use it freely. Many(流利students I have met know hundreds of grammar rules, but they can't speak correctly or fluently 地).They are afraid of making mistakes.One shouldn't be afraid of making mistakes when speaking a foreign language. Native speakers make mistakes and break rules, too.Bernard saw once wrote, "Foreigners often speak English too correctly."But the mistakes that native speakers make are different from those that Chinese students make. They're English mistakes in the English language.And if enough native speakers break a rule, it is no longer a rule. What used to be wrong becomes right.People not only make history, they make language.But a people can only make its own language.It can't make another people's language. So Chinese students of English should pay attention to grammar, but they shouldn't overdo(做过头)it. They should put communication first. 8.Language is used to ________.A.express oneself B.practise grammar rulesB.talk with foreigners only D.learn lists of words9.Generally, when an American or an Englishman speaks English, he ________.A.never makes mistakes B.often makes mistakesC.can't avoid making mistakes D.always makes mistakes10."Foreigners often speak English too correctly."This sentence means that ________.A.foreigners speak correct EnglishB.foreigners speak incorrect EnglishC.foreigners speak English according to the grammar rulesD.foreigners never make mistakes when they speak English11.When we speak a foreign language, we should ________.A.speak in Chinese wayB.speak by the rulesC.speak to native speakersD.not be afraid of making mistakesDEasily, Sleep Well”.

For some students, they want to sleep early, but they keepworrying about their schoolwork and can’t fall asleep quickly.

Four Books That Will Interest You to Travel the WorldThere’s truly nothing like travel when it comes to gaining life experience. To get you in the adventuring mood, we asked Amazon Senior Editor Chiris Schlep to help us come up with a list of books that transport readers to another time and place. Below, see his list of four books that will interest you to travel the world.SEATTLE: Where You’d Go, Bernadette? By Maria SampleMaria Sample’s first novel is not exactly a love story to Seattle, but if you read it, you just might want to come here to see if people are really as self-involved as the characters in her book. What really shines through is the strange storytelling and the amusing incidents. Buy it on Amazon. price: $26.60.ENGLAND: Wolf Hall by Hilary MantelYou can’t travel to Thomas Cromwell’s England without a time machine, but reading Hilary Mantel’s prize-winning novel is the next best thing. It will make you long to see the ancient buildings and green grass of the English countryside, much of which is still there. Buy it on Amazon. price$25.10.NANTUCKET: Here’s to Us by Eli HildebrandEli Hildebrand has built a writing career out of writing about her hometown island of Nantucket. Her latest is Here’s to Us, which, perhaps not surprisingly, is a great beach read. Buy it on Amazon. price: $30.80.ITALY: Beautiful Ruins by Jess WalterThis book by the popular author Jess Walters is a love story that begins on the Italian Coast in the early 60s and eventually concludes in contemporary Hollywood. As the settings shift from Italy to Edinburgh to Los Angeles, you will find yourself longing to go as well. Buy it on Amazon.price:$28.90.21. What’s the feature of the Where You’d Go, Bernadette?A. Its content about loveB. Its plot and laughsC. Its charactersD. Its low price22. Which book has been made into a film according to the next?A. Beautiful RuinsB. Wolf HallC. Here’s to UsD. Where You’d Go, Bernadette23. What is the common point about the four books?A. Its priceB. Its authorC. Its contentD. Its sales placeAre you so sure your mistakes are just mistakes? Or could they be building blocks to a success beyond any you imagined?When my friend Dorothy goes home to visit her family each Thanksgiving, her mother serves the traditional “mistake salad”. The dish was born many years ago. Dorothy explains, when mother was using a cookbook to make a salad. In the process, mother accidentally included half the salad ingredients(原料)from a recipe(食谱)on the left side of the open cookbook, and half the ingredients from a different salad recipe on the opposite page. Everyone enjoyed the salad so much that she continue to serve it every year. So it was really not a mistake at all.Then there was the fellow named Alfred, who invented dynamite(炸药). When Alfred’s brother died, the city newspaper confused the two and printed an abituary(讣告)saying that the dead’s most notable act was the creation of bombs. Surprised to consider that his name would forever be connected with destruction, Alfred sought to leave a more positive fame to humanity. So he set a prize for people who contributed to world peace. Now the Nobel Prize, established by Alfred Nobel, is the most respected award in the world.Everything is part of something bigger, and mistakes are no exception. In his brilliant book Illusions, Richard Bach explains that every problem comes to you with a gift. If you focus only on what went wrong, you miss the gift. If you are willing to look deeper and ask for the bright, the problem will disappear. You are left only with the learning, and you go forward on your path.24. What does the underlined word “it”in the second paragraph refer to?A. the cookbookB. the “mistake salad”C. the recipeD. the ingredient25. Why did Alfred Nobel set an award for those who made great contributions to the world peace?A. Because his brother was dead in an explosionB. Because he wanted people to connect him with peaceC. Because he wanted to make the world a better placeD. Because he wanted to show off his fortune26. What should we do when we make a mistake according to the passage?A. We should correct the mistake as soon as possibleB. We should find out what causes the mistake and fix it timelyC. We should look deeper and find something better from itD. We should find the solutions from the book called Illusions27. Who will most probably like to read this passage?A. A cook who is good at making saladB. A person who wants to have a reputationC. A student who is afraid of making mistakesD. A writer who is a good friend of Richard BachMariah, 35, was a single mother. She had four kids under the age 9, and was hardly keeping up payments on her small two-bedroom home by working extra weekend hours as a waitress. There were times when she lay in bed and cried. She didn’t know how she could pay that bill. But she knew she must find a way to change her life.She knew how hard it was to mop(拖)the floor. “I was tired of bending down, putting my hands in dirty water and wringing (拧)out a mop,”Mariah says. “So, I got a better way.”How about a “self-wringing”mop? She designed a special tool. You could twist in two directions and still keep your hands clean and dry.She set out to sell her mops, but the mops didn’t sell well at the market. Then Mariah met with the media. But would people buy a mop by reading an advertisement? They gave it a try, and it failed. Mariah was sure it would sell well if they let her do the on-camera show. “Get me on that stage, and I will sell this mop because it’s a great thing,”said Mariah. So QVC let her have a try. “I got on the stage and the phones went crazy. We sold every mop in minutes.”Today Mariah is the president of Ingenious designs, a multimillion-dollar company, and one of the stars of HSN, the Home Shopping Network. Talking about hr household inventions is as natural for her it is for parents to talk about their child.Today one of her favorite products is Huggable Hangers(衣架).

What was the secret of Mariah’s success?A. She worked hard enoughB. She sold the mops herselfC. She had a lot of friendsD. She knew the needs of the market30. From the passage we know that HSN__________.A. is a famous TV stationB. is run by MariahC. sells some home-use goodsD. makes people show goods on the stages31. It can be inferred from the passage that _______.A. Mariah loves her career very muchB. Huggable Hangers is Mariah’s best inventionC. one cannot succeed without the help of othersD. Mariah is very popular in her countryA total of 34 Chinese cities with a combined population of nearly 300 million took park in a pet adoption day at the weekend, promoting the adoption of rescued stray (流浪的)animals.The live broadcast of China Pet Adoption Day events in Shanghai, Beijing, Chengdu, Guangzhou, Hangzhou, Nanjin, Qingdao, Tianjin and Xi’an was watched by 562,000 people.From Urumqi in the far northwest to Fuzhou on the southeast coast, people gathered to raise awareness of animal care and to help stray find loving homes.Sun Quanhui, manager and senior adviser of World Animal Protection, said, “Planet Earth is not only home to humanity but also a home that we share with other animals. It is mankind’s duty and important to treat animals kindly in a civilized society.”As China’s population becomes richer, pet ownership has increased rapidly, but problems, such as pet abandonment and cruelty, are also growing.In recent years, more and more adoption events have taken place all over the country, which indicates an awakening of the Chinese public consciousness to animal protection.“Adopting a pet instead of buying one has been gaining a wider acceptance.”American Edward Dumpe, who has been working on designs for stray animal shelters in Beijing, said, “It surely sounds super sweet and I have no doubt that it must have been the result of great efforts.”“I think it is a good step in the right direction, and should be taken as evidence that Chinese society is becoming more aware of stray animals who should be taken care of and treated with respect.”In real life, “Rabbit-eating Carrot”is fashion designer who has created clothes embroidered(刺绣)with slogans(口号)such has “Please adopt a pet”and images of her cats, with all earnings going to the Qiming Small Animal Protection Center in Sichuan Province.“I didn’t know that there were events like this in China. This is fantastic. Impressive.”Said George Philippe, a french living in Beijing and father of two, at an event in the capital.32. What is the aim of live broadcast of China Pet Adoption Day event?A.

What is the best title for the passage?A. The animal right in ChinaB. No trading, no killingC. How to treat your pets with heartsD. Live broadcast promotes animal adoptionsWith modern technology, much written communication tends to focus on the keyboard, but handwriting is still a necessary and important skill. 36 Here are some tips for you to improve your handwriting.Examine Your Handwriting___ 37 Look through your writing to decide what makes it difficult to read or what makes it unattractive. Perhaps you write your letters too small. Check on spacing of letters and words, and proper formation of letters. If your letters are small, put more effort into writing larger letters. If certain letters trip you up, practice those letters separately and within words.Write CorrectlyPositioning and technique play a role in how your handwriting looks. Hold the pen between your thumb and first two fingers so that it rests against your fingers. Hold it firmly enough to control the tip but not so hard that it hurts your fingers. Lighter pressure on the paper helps you create smooth lines and focus on your letter formation. 38 ___39Letters are formed from several basic strokes(笔划). Practice those strokes separately to get your hand used to forming them. Strokes found in letters include vertical lines, horizontal lines, and circles. Build on those to practice specific letters.Write for a PurposeTeach young children handwriting in meaningful contexts. Use that same idea by picking up a pen to write lists and notes by hand instead of typing. Keep a journal daily with slow, correct strokes. 40 These true and sincere writing opportunities make the practice meaningful.A. Build on Basics.B. Practice makes perfectC. Focus on improving your correctness instead of speedD. Writing at a slower speed also helps you focus on letter formationE. Put a handwritten letter in the mail to surprise a friend or a relativeF. Handwriting requires your brain, eyes and hands to work together to form letters.G. Before you can improve your handwriting, you need to know where you’re falling apart.It had been a tiring journey.

The unregulated parking has caused continuous problems and 63 (complain). Traffic police had confiscated the bikes because they had been 64 (legal)parked.Shanghai is the world’s largest bikeshare city with 280,000 shared bikes citywide. That number is expected 65 (jump)to 500,000 by this June, according to Guo Jianrong, Secretary General of Shanghai Bicycle Association.Until the turn of the century, bikes were the main form of transport in Chinese cities.

As a driver, he was busy but he was paid much. His wife was an able woman and did all the housework. When he came back, she took good care of him and he never did anything at home. So he had enough time when he had a holiday. A few friends of his liked gambling(赌博) and he learned it soon. So he was interested in it and forgot anything except gambling. He lost all his money and later he began to sell the television, washing machine and so on. His wife told him not to do it but he didn’t listen to her. She had to tell the police. He and his friends were punished(惩罚) for it. After he came out of lockup(拘留所), he hated her very much ,and beat her so the woman had to leave him.It was New Year’s Day. Mr. Lang didn’t go to work. He felt lonely and wanted to gamble again. He called his friends and they came soon. But they were afraid the police would come. He told his five-year-old son to go to find out if there were policemen outside. They waited for a long time and didn’t think the police would come and began to gamble. Suddenly opened the door and in came a few policemen.“I saw there weren’t any policemen outside, daddy,” said the boy, “so I went to the crossing and asked some to come.”1_______, so he was put into lockup.A. Mr. Lang often gambledB. Mr. Lang was late for workC. Mr. Lang didn’t help his wife at homeD.

It is the world’s largest international organization.C. It works for private companies and rich people.D. It is a private organization in ChinaCEveryone needs friends. We all like to feel close to someone. It is nice to have a friend to talk, laugh and do things with. Surely, there are times when we need to be alone. We don't always want people around. But we would feel lonely if we never had a friend.No two people are the same. Sometimes friends don't get along well, which doesn't mean that they no longer like each other. Most of the time they will go on being friends. Sometimes friends move away, then we feel very sad. We miss them much, but we can call them and write to them. Maybe we would never see them again, and we can make new friends. It is surprising to find out how much we like new people when we get to know them. Families sometimes name their children after a close friend. Many places are named after men and women, if they are friendly to people in a town. Some libraries are named this way. So are some schools. We think of these people when we go to these places.There's more good news for people, if they have friends. These people live longer than those people if those don't have friends. Why? It could be that they are happier. Being happy helps you stay well. Or it could be just knowing that someone cares, if someone cares about you, you take better care of yourself.8. The first paragraph tells us __________.A. none needs friendsB. we need friends around us all the timeC. making friends is the need in people's lifeD. we need to be alone9 Which of the following is the most probable(可能的) place people name after friendly people?A.

He loved his computer. He came home early every day, then he worked with it till midnight. But Johnny was not a good English student,not good at all.

Johnny changed his English grade from an F to A. Johnny' parents looked at his report card. They were very happy."An A in English!" said Johnny's Dad. "You're a very clever boy, Johnny."Johnny is a hacker(黑客). Hackers know how to take information (信息)from other computers and put new information in. Using a modem(调制解调器), they join their computers to other computers secretly. School headmasters and teachers are worried about hackers.

Wait ,and you will soon feel much happier."The young man was very glad."Am I going to get rich again then?

What’s the purpose of the writer to write this passage?A.To share happiness in using mail with usB.To share some methods of using computer with usC.To persuade us out of using mailD.To share some worries in using mail with usCChristmas Eve means a warm get-together with friends, a candlelight dinner, or perhaps a celebr ation at a pub(酒馆) for students. But, for Cai Yingjie, the night has a different meaning: helping beggars(乞丐)and the homeless(people without homes).Cai, who is a student in journalism at Tsinghua, could be fo und at Beijing’s Wudaokou Light Railway Station that special evening. When she saw an old beggar, she took the cold, rou gh hands of the woman with her warm, clean hands, and gav e the woman some warm bread and helped her put on a pair of new gloves.The woman was surprised for a few seconds, then burst int o tears, saying “for the first time I feel respected”. Cai said, “A beggar’s life is very hard. That’s why I want to help them.”Cai was one of 14 Tsinghua students spending Christmas Eve am ong the poor. They walked in the cold wind along the streets f rom 4 to 7 pm on Friday, visiting 15 beggars in Beijing’s Haidian District. They brought bread and gloves with them, and stopped to greet beggars and offer them some of the warm food. Each beggar greeted them with a look of surprise.“I know the activity can’t help much, but it’s meant to show our respect and care for beggars and the homeless who have been neglected for so long,” said Sun, head of the group. “And Christmas is a good time for that.”18.What does Christmas Eve mean to the 14 Tsinghua stude nts?A.Taking 15 beggars to Tsinghua.B.Getting together with friends.C.Selling bread and gloves to the beggars.D.Showing care to the beggars and the homeless.19. What does the beggar mean by saying “for the first time I f eel respected”?A.The beggar has been waiting for Cai for long.B.The beggar has been respecting Cai for a long time.C.The beggar hasn’t been shown care for so long.D.This is the first time the beggar has seen Tsinghua stud ents.20. What did each beggar feel when they received greetings? A.Sad. B.Surprised C.Frightened. D.Proud.21.The word “neglected” in the last passage means _______. A.given no enough care B.foundC.taken care of D.protectedDWe live in a digital world now, and a student's technology n eeds have changed. For the early years, say when you are in p rimary school, you can get by(过下去) with no technology at all. Even if you have a computer, it's a good idea to get children familiar with libraries. At this age, trips to the library are like family outings(短途旅游,远足).As you get closer to middle school, a computer with Interne t access becomes more of a necessity. Teachers will often giv e assignments(作业) that require a student to use the Internet for research. Aft er a computer, technology choices for students become more difficult to make - especially when it comes to cellphones. Kid s will beg their parents for a cell-phone, especially in middle school. For many parents, it's a sa fety issue: They want to know that their kids can reach them q uickly if necessary. For teachers, cell phones can be used to r ecord lessons when students are absent. But many teachers dislike cell-phones. Some kids send messages or have talks in the class. Sending messages also raises the problem of cheating on ex ams. More and more schools are now forbidding the use of ce llphones.Many kids see iPods as necessary things to have. iPods ar e great for music, but do theydo anything good for your children's education? Maybe they do. That's the opinion of Doug Johnson, an educator for 30 ye ars. Johnson says that educators should accept all new forms of technology in the classroom, including iPods. "Some do m ore with their cell- phones than we can do with our laptops," h e jokes."I don't think we should be afraid. The truth is that it's easier to change the way we teach than to change the technol ogy habits of an entire generation."22. According to author, primary school children should _____.A. use the computer and the Internet regularlyB. go to libraries to read more booksC. ask their parents to buy them cell-phonesD. buy iPods to listen to music23. Why do parents agree to buy their children cell-phones?A. They want their children to be cool.B. They want to know their children can reach them quickly if necessaryC. They think cell-phones be helpful to their study.D. They want their children to keep up to date.24. The following are all reasons why many teachers dislike c ell-phones EXCEPT ______.A. cell-phones can be used to cheat on examsB. schoolchildren will send messages during classC. cell-phones can be used to record lessonsD. schoolchildren might talk on them during class25. We can infer from what Doug Johnson said that _______.A. it's better for teachers to change their teaching methodsB. cell-phones are not useful to studentsC. teachers should let students use cell-phonesD. schoolchildren should follow the trends(潮流) of fashion:(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。

AOne day an ant was drinking at a small stream and fell in. She made hopeless efforts (努力 ) to reach the side, but made no progress at all. The poor ant almost exhausted was still bravely doing her best when a dove (鸽子) saw her. Moved with pity, the bird threw her a blade (叶片) of grass, which supported her like a raft (木伐), and thus the ant reached the bank again. While she was resting and drying herself in the grass, she heard a man come near. He was walking along barefooted (赤脚) with a gun in his hand. As soon as he saw the dove, he wished to kill it. He would certainly have done so, but the ant bit him in the foot just as he raised his gun to fire. He stopped to see what had bit him, and the dove immediately flew away. It was an animal much weaker and smaller than herself that had saved her life.1.

Mark stopped and helped the boy pick up these things. Since they were going the same way, he helped to carry some of his things. As they walked, Mark knew that the boy’s name was Bill, that he loved computer games, basketball and history, and that he was having lots of troubles with his other subjects and that he had just broken up with his girlfriend.They arrived at Bill’s home first and Mark was invited in for a Coke and to watch some television. The afternoon passed happily with a few laughs and some small talk, and then Mark went home. They often saw each other at school, had lunch together once or twice, and then they both finished middle school. They ended up in the same high school where they sometimes saw and talked with each other over the years. At last just three weeks before they finished high school, Bill asked Mark if they could talk.Bill asked Mark if he still remembered the day years ago when they had first met. “Did you ever t hink why I was carrying so many things home that day?” asked Bill. “You see, I cleaned out my locker (锁柜) because I didn’t want to leave anything for anyone else. I had put away some ofmy mother’s sleeping pills and I was going home to kill myself. But af ter we spent some time together talking and laughing, I began to understand that if I killed myself, I would have missed that time and so many others that might follow. So you see, Mark, when you picked up those books that day, you did a lot more. You save d my life.”6.

Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the previous day. The rest that you get while sleeping enables your body to prepare itself for the next day.There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your muscles relax little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts back and forth from one level of sleep to the other.Although your mind slows down, from time to time you will dream. Scientists who study sleep state that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (Although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend breathing very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will help make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion the counting sheep will put you to sleep!11. A good title for this passage is ____.A. Sleep C. DreamsB. Good Health D. Work and Rest12. The word drowsy in the last paragraph means ____.A. sick C. asleepB. stand up D. a little sleepy13.

AMy 17-year-old daughter went off to college and having her away from home brought back memories of watching Peter Pan when she was little. In the classic TV production, one scene in particular impressed me: when Mrs. Darling puts her children into bed. As she turns off the last of the night light, she takes one last look at the bedroom and says, “Dear night lights, protect my sleeping children.” As a mother, I know how much she loves her children.It has been several weeks since we took our daughter to college and she seems to be adjusting well after a short period of homesickness. For us, though, it’s another story. Like most parents, I love checking in on my children at night. But now she’s gone, and I find night times the hardest. I miss her most at night.In my neighborhood, most of the parents whose kids are off to college are dealing with similar melancholy. My husband is filled with anxiety. One friend talked about getting this sick feeling in her stomach as she prepared for the college drop-off. We complained that many of us were too busy to truly enjoy being with our children while we had them.For us moms, seeing Toy Story3 only made the sadness worse as we watched the character Andy, who is the same age as our kids, say goodbye to his childhood as he prepares to leave for college. And it’s not just “first-time” parents like me. Two moms who have kids already well into college said the separation didn’t get any easier. “You feel like something has been taken away from inside you,” said one of them.I imagine things will get easier with time, especially as I see my daughter adjust to college life. Meanwhile, as I keep my cell phone close to me in bed and text my daughter goodnight and sweet dreams every night, I like to think at messages serve as a night light that keeps her safe.21. The writer was deeply impressed by the scene in Peter Pan because ________.A. she watched the scene with her daughterB. the scene was very exciting and interestingC. the scene taught her and her daughter a good lessonD. the scene showed a mother’s deep love for her children22. After her daughter went to college, the writer ________.A. didn’t get used to the change for a long timeB. often cried as she missed her daughter so muchC. realized she hadn’t d one enough for her daughterD. failed to have a good sleep every night23. What is the underlined word “melancholy” in Paragraph 3 similar in meaning to?A. Happiness.B. Anger.C. Sadness.D. Excitement.24. According to the last paragraph, why did the writer keep her cell phone close to her in bed?A. To call her daughter any time.B. To wait for her daughter’s calls.C. To say good night to her daughter.D. To wait for her daughter’s messages.BDifferent peoples have different religions and cultures because of the different places they live and their different traditions and customs and history.While Europe and the United States of America are considered the Western World, it’s good to know there are some differences in culture. If you are considering moving to a European country, you will find the information below helpful as you plan your move.One cultural difference is how the countries perceive(认知)time and space. For example, a house in the United States that is 200 years old would be considered ancient. This is probably because America is a fairly young country. However, in Europe, something would not be considered ancient unless it was at least 2,000 years old. However, perception of distance seems to be the opposite. While Europeans would consider 100 kilometres a long way to drive, Americans would not think twice. This could be due to the fact that Europe is smaller and more heavily populated.In fact, the United States is over twice the size of Europe.Cars are another factor that differs greatly between Europe and the United States. American automobiles usually have automatic transmissions(自动变速器)while European cars generally have manual gears(手动变速器). European automobiles are smaller and more round-shaped, while American cars are larger and more square-shaped. Trucks and limousines(豪华轿车)are vehicles that Americans enjoy. In Europe, however, these types of vehicles are hardly seen, as they prefer smaller cars due to parking and traffic congestion.The view of education is another cultural difference between the European countries and the United States.

Unfortunately, though, he always seemed to end up being treated differently from everyone else. Children worried that they would hurt him, that maybe he wouldn't hear the ball being hit in his direction. Adults acted like he couldn’t understand them, as though he was some kind of baby.Reggie didn’t like this very much. But the person who disliked it the most was his friend Michael, who decided one day that things had to change. Michael’s father was the town’s mayor, and Michael managed to convince(说服) him that this year, in honour of Reggie, they should choose one day of the festival to deaf people. During that whole day everyone in town would have to wear earplugs.People liked the idea, because everyone loved Reggie. The day became known as the Day of Silence, and when it arrived everyone stuck plugs in their ears, in a spirit of great fun. That morning was filled with practical jokes, and laughter. But, as the hours passed,people became more and more aware of how difficult life was when you couldn’t hear anything. However, learning about how life was more difficult for the deaf was nothing compared to the greatest discovery of the day: Reggie was amazing!On that day no one was thinking of Reggie as just a deaf person. This meant he could be treated just like any other little boy, and people saw a whole new side of him. Not only that, but Reggie had a bright and sharp mind. On that day, using his usual gestures, Reggie was the one who could communicate best with everyone. This meant that people paid more attention to what he was saying and they were surprised by his intelligence, his creativity, and his ability to find solutions to almost any problem. They realised that he had always been like that, and that in normal life all Reggie needed was a little more time than others to communicate. That was the only difference.So the Day of Silence was the day Reggie’s true nature became known. And it was the day everyone realised you had to give people a chance to show how valuable they are. People in town wanted to make sure that others would learn this lesson. So, from that day on, whenever a visitor came to town, they were welcomed joyfully and a helmet was put on their head. A helmet with great thick earflaps; a helmet which meant you couldn’t hear the slightest thing.33.
