21．（6分）A few years ago, Darla Hoff painted a pumpkin face onto a round straw bale(捆)at A1 and Karen Goldman's farm in Idaho Palls to advertise her U-pick pumpkin field. While Darla has stopped growing pumpkins, the annual tradition of straw bale art lives on at the farm and has drawn friends and neighbors to participate in it. Past creations have included an owl, Minions, tractors and a teddy bear.
To make the tractors, A1 baled round straw bales in two different sizes smaller ones for the tractor's front tires and larger ones for the rear(尾部). Large square bales made up the bodies. Jerry Kienlen used his farming equipment to arrange the bales in the shape of two tractors. Then it was time to bring the tractors to life. Karen and her daughter. Lana Hedrick, secured some green paint, and A1 got some red paint. Darla's husband, James, sprayed the creation with a paint gun. For the finishing touches, Steven donated two shiny exhaust stacks (排气管),and A1 and Karen donated two steering wheels from their farm parts.
The farm's annual straw bale art projects have now become a way for everyone to celebrate the end of another growing season. It's just something fun to do together after harvest. This neighborhood has always been close. Generations of these families have grown crops in this soil. Raised on the farms where they live now, they grew up together as their elders did before. A1 and Karen are truly super neighbors. Every year they also grow about two acres of corn to give away. Anyone can pick some, or A1 and Karen will even deliver. And during long Idaho winters, everyone gathers at the farm to enjoy fresh coffee and cookies.
This year's straw hale creation theme is Straw Wars. And all eyes will be on A1 and Karen's farm as their creation takes shape.

22．（8分）Some people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.
However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 3,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.
This is a big reason why many successful peo ple advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable pain and will likely make you give up well before you ever become good at it.
When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.
Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any
p rize. Consistent, hard work won’t guarantee you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.
1、Paragraph 1 mainly talks about ________.
A．the reasons for success B．the standards of success
C．the importance of success D．what people think success is
2、Successful people suggest doing what one loves because ________.
A．work makes one feel pain B．one tends to enjoy his work
C．it takes a lot of time to succeed D．one gives up his work easily
3、What can we infer from Paragraph 4?
A．Successful people like to show their great skills.
B．People need to achieve success at the cost of life.
C．People sometimes succeed without luck or talent.
D．It helps to think that luck or talent leads to success.
4、What is the main theme of the passage?
A．Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.
B．One cannot succeed without time and practice.
C．Having a goal is very important to success.
D．Being good is different from being great.
23．（8分）Chinese audiences seemed not to have been satisfied with the third season of the highly anticipated food documentary A Bite of China.
Even though the series has maintained high viewership ratings since its comeback last week, much higher than other programs aired at the same time, the ranking on Douban, a social networking website featuring films, literature and events, slipped to 4.2 out of 10, as of Tuesday, compared with 9.3 and 8.4, respectively, for the first two seasons.
Picky viewers complain that some of the narration is not accurate, while others pinpoint misleading content. At the same time, food blogger @barbara questioned whether it is appropriate to give a close-up shot of the poisonous plant Nandina（南天竺）in a food program.
A Bite of China, which debuted in 2012, became hugely popular nationwide for its quality introduction of some rarely-known and mouth-watering domestic cuisine. In the new show, however, watchers are not satisfied with “irrelevant” food references, such as lipsticks made of Chi nese traditional medicine and martial arts master.
The first episode introduced a hand-made iron frying pan from east China’s Shandong province, which prompted thousands of Chinese Internet users to buy one from China’s leading e-commerce website Tmall in the next few days. Sales of the pan at “Zhensanhuan” surged 6,000 times compared with a year ago, according to Beijing Youth Daily.
In response to overwhelming criticism and questions, A Bite of China production crew responded on Weibo that they seek innovation despite the risks following the first two phenomenal seasons.
“It is unavoidable to make comparisons with the first two, and some audiences may not accept the changes,” the crew said. “We explore the culture and civilization behind food, and give food a historic touch. That’s why we feature culinary（烹饪的）tools, feast and rituals, as well as a healthy diet to show Chinese wisdom and philosophy, which has not been shown in any food programs before.”
1、Why does the passage mention Nandina?
A．Because some of the narration is not accurate.
B．Because it may be improper to give a close-up shot of a poisonous plant.
C．Because it is misleading content.
D．Because it is not attractive at all to most picky viewers.
2、Which of the following elements leads to viewers’ dissatisfaction with the new show?
A．some mouth-watering domestic cuisines
B．food-unrelated items
C．some rarely-known cuisines
D．the increasing sales of the pan at “Zhensanhuan”
3、According to its production crew, what is unique to ‘A Bite of China III’?
A．It makes comparisons with the first two episodes.
B．It tells the story of some martial arts related to food.
C．It receives overwhelming criticism and questions from audience.
D．It focuses on cooking tools, rituals and healthy eating.
4、What is the best the title for the passage?
A．'A Bite of China III' Draws Criticism from Audiences
B．'A Bite of China III' Maintains High Viewership Ratings
C．'A Bite of China III' Changes for the Worse
D．'A Bite of China III' Explains its Purposes

25．（10分）At seventy-three, Marcia Pollock’s father was a man of great independence and pride. The kids called him “Poppy”, a name th at everybody used.
Poppy lived in his old neighborhood and he had a part-time job at a local pharmacy（药房）. After Marcia’s mother died, Poppy firmly refused Marcia and Jack’s invitation to come and live with them. He was stubborn about not crowding their little house, about not becoming a burden.
In fact, he was always helpful. The kids loved him because he listened to them and because he always brought them something. He also brought special gifts to Marcia and Jack, never arriving empty-handed.
And so it was with shock and bewilderment（迷惑）that Marcia went to see Poppy in the hospital that summer after he had fallen down in the street. The doctor said that Poppy had been living on coffee and doughnuts. Later that day, the pharmacist told Marcia, “He has prac tically no money at all—just the government cheque and what little he makes here. Yet I myself saw him spend most of his last cheque on your little boy’s bicycle.”
She became stern with Poppy.“Y ou’re foolish, Poppy,” she said. “I have my pride,” Poppy answered. “False pride,” she hurled（斥责）back at him.
During autumn, Poppy didn’t come around as often as he had in the past, but when he did, he would still arrive with little gifts in hand. Then, just before the holidays, Poppy told Marcia that he couldn’t vis it them on Christmas Day because he would watch the store, but Marcia knew the shop was not open on Christmas.
She felt worried and called Poppy, telling him that he was one of them and that they all loved him. Half an hour before the turkey went on the table on Christmas, Poppy came. The kids rushed to him and gave him more hugs and kisses than he had ever had before. Poppy held out his arms to Marcia, and his hands were empty — yet never had they been more filled.
1、Which is Poppy’s reason for not living with his daughter?
A．He had a part-time job. B．He was stubborn sometimes.
C．He liked living independently. D．He didn’t want to become a burden to her .
2、Why was Marcia puzzled after hearing the doctor’s words?
A．She didn’t know who had knocked Poppy down.
B．She thought Poppy had enough money for living.
C．She wondered how to take care of him later.
D．She thought the doctor didn’t know his living condition.
3、Which is closest in meaning to the underlined word “stern” in paragraph 5?
A．patient B．angry
C．respectful D．afraid.
4、Why does the author say that Poppy’s hands were filled at last?
A．Poppy learned that he was loved.
B．Poppy had brought enough gifts before.
C．Poppy still held his independence and pride.
D．Poppy had found reasons for Marcia’s rudeness.

29、Smoking is bad for people’s heal th. There are more than half people smoking in China. Even though smoking is very bad, the number of smokers keeps growing, and the average age of the smokers is getting younger. Even some students smoke, too. Why do so many people smoke today? Because some people think smoking is a kind of fashion or something interesting. Most people are so busy with their work that they smoke to fresh themselves; however, I don’t think smoking is good. If you smoke too much, you will get diseases. It also costs a lot of money. In order to keep healthy, we should not smoke.。
