Tourists must take park and trail maps with them when they visit the parkBOne of the greatest influences from books I've read this year came from the book Anne of Green Gables. Anne's turning ordinary things into extraordinary things caught my eye. She is clever, fun-loving, creative, determined and occasionally a little bit absent-minded. All of these qualities remind me and help me realize that a little bit of romance, or imagination should always be a part of all of us, and can brighten up many unpleasant days. Creativity has always been one of my strengths, but as I have gotten older it seems as if, little by little, my imagination is leaking away.（逐渐消失） There is no longer as much fun in pretending that I am a servant in a magnificent castle, or a heroine in one of my most beloved books. But there is more to imagination than pretending, isn't there? An ne's imagination enabled her to do so many things. She could be anywhere, fly on golden wings. Anne's imagination helped her find the home where she belonged and find friends in the most unlikely places.Anne taught me how important it was to be forgiving because you never know when it will be too late to forgive. S he also showed me that being able to forgive makes a big difference in your relationships with people.Above all, the most important thing that Anne taught me was the fact that just by being herself she was very liked by the others at school. This made me realize how important it is to be yourself. Lots of adults have told me that before but it is hard because sometimes I just want to be popular, but Anne brought the message through.After reading the first hundred pages of Anne of Green Gables I was inspired; I had become one of Anne's kindred(同类的) spirits.25. Which of the following makes the author interested?A. Anne is a romantic and creative girl.B. Anne is nothing but an ordinary girl.C. Anne can do anything she likes to.D. Anne is nothing but a particular girl.26. The most important character the author learned from Anne should be .A. to be yourselfB. to be forgivingC. to be creativeD. to be innocent27. The passage is mainly about .A. the author's creativity coming from AnneB. the author's imagination coming backC. the importance of reading booksD. influences on the author from Anne of Green Gables28. It's implied that .A. the author was inspired by the book the moment he saw itB. the author was once a servant in an old castleC. the author was quite imaginative when youngD. the author liked pretending more than imaginingCBefore I had my son, I spent two years working with children with disabilities. I learned that shouting and threats of punishment would result in a disaster. Coming up against their behavior could only make the job harder and their behavior more extreme. I found something that worked, though.There was a very naughty boy in the nursery and a teacher who was generally very confident with the children was asked to take charge of him. One day the boy joined a session in the room next to mine. His a ppearance created an atmosphere of tension.（紧张） He spent theentire session running around, hitting and kicking, and destroying property.I was in the craft room working with some other children when my co-worker told me that this boy’s teacher was in tears, and could not get control of the situation. As we were talking, the boy ran in. I told my co-worker that I would take care of him.I closed the door. He was full of energy, throwing things around and making a huge mess. But I could see that he was doing all these to annoy me. He needed connection, and this was the only way he knew how to ask for it. So I sat back down and kept to him about it. We continued like this for a few mi nutes before I slipped into the conversation: “ So what happened today?”It was purely a question, no blame or anger in my tone. I believed that if I had criticized him, the gate that was slowly opening would have shut firmly closed. He told me that the teacher do what he disliked. He also admitted that he had enjoyed making her run around and saw it as a game. I explained that his teacher had not seen it as a game and was very upset. This again was stated simply as a fact. I suggested that next time he had a session, he talk about what he hoped to do at the start, which might be easier for everyone. He agreed and was quiet for a moment. Then he looked at me with tears in his eyes before quietly asking if he could go to find his teacher to apologize.29.

At your age you ought to be growing away from your parents. You should be learning to stand on your own two feet. But take a good look at the present rebellion. It seems that teenagers are all taking the same way of showing that they disagree with their parents. Instead of striking out bravely on their own, most of them are trying to seize at one another’s hands for safety.They say they want to dress as they please. But they all wear the same clothes. They set off in new directions in music. But somehow reason for thinking or acting in thus-and-such a way is that the crowd is doing it. They have come out of their cocoon(蚕茧) -----into a larger cocoon.It has become harder and harder for a teenager to stand up against the popularity wave and to go his or her own way. Industry has firmly opened up a te enage market. These days every teenager can learn from newspapers and TV what a teenager should have and be. An d many of today’s parents have come to award（奖励） high narks for the popularity of their children. All this adds up to great difficulty for the teenager who wants to find his or her own path.But the difficulty is worth getting over. The path is worth following. You may wa nt to listen to classical music instead of going to a party. You may want to collect rocks when everyone else is collecting records. You may have some thoughts that you don’t care to share at once with your classmates. Well, go to it. Find yourself. Be yourself. Popularity will come-----with the people who respect you for who you are. That’s the only kind of popularity that really counts.33.The writer’s purpose in writing this passage is to tell_______.A. readers how to be popular in the worldB. parents how to control and guide their childrenC. teenagers how to learn to decide things for themselvesD.people how to understand and respect each other34. According to the writer, many teenagers think they are brave enough to act on theirown, but, in fact, most of them______.A. are not sure of themselvesB.have much difficulty in understanding each otherC. dare not do thingsD. are very much afraid of getting lost35．During the teenage years, one should learn to_____.A. become different from others in as many ways as possibleB. find one’s real selfC. get into the right reason and become popularD. rebel against parents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。
