第一节（共12小题，每小题2分，满分24分）
A
Several years ago, I worked as a truck driver for a factory. On Saturdays I usually spent several hours doing something to keep my truck in good condition.
One Saturday, as I was cleaning my truc k, I noticed the boss’s elderly father came out to ask his grandson to take him fishing after work. The grandson told him all about how much he would love to do that, but he just couldn’t because he had other plans already. The old man hobbled (蹒跚) off to the house.
Then I heard the grandson telling his dad, "I’m not taking that old man fishing! It’s worse than taking a kid."
That just broke my heart.
I quit working immediately and went home to fetch my fishing gear (渔具) and a chair. Then I came back and invited the old man to go fishing. He accepted happily.
When we got to the river, I let him sit in the chair at the edge of the water. It wasn’t long before he got a fish. He got one fish after another. His eyes were shining like a child. About half an hour later, he told me he was tired and needed to go home. So I took him and the fish home.
Two weeks later, the old man died. His family told me later that all he talked about during that time was his fishing trip. I am satisfied that I have taken an old man on his last fishing trip, but I am sorry that his family have lost their last chance. Whenever you get the chance, don’t forget about taking Grandpa fishing. Someday, you may be in the same place and you’ll want your family to care ab out you, too.
21. The writer wrote the passage mainly to ________.
A. tell us something about his work
B. tell us about a fishing experience
C. persuade us to take Grandpa fishing
D. persuade us to care about the elderly
22. The old man’s Grandson re fused to fish with him because ______.
A. he had something more important to do that day
B. he didn’t like to fish with an old man
C. he was tired of his job and he wanted to rest
D. he preferred fishing with a child
23. What’s the possible meaning of the underlined word "quit"?
A. start
B. stop
C. imagine
D. try
24. According to the passage, we can infer（推断） that the author is _______.
A. willing to make his boss happy
B. in need of care from his family
C. prefers fishing to his work
D. kind and warm-hearted
B
Many people tend to complain about not having good friends in their lives. Sadly, they seem to think that their own company(陪伴) is not enough to make them happy. Nothing could be further from the truth, though. In order to get along with others, the first thing you need to do is learn to get along with yourself. Only in this way will you succeed in developing healthy, solid relationships with others.
Listen to your inner voice. Remember that inner voice that keeps whispering to you what you really want and need as well as what you do not really want and need. It is about time you started listening to it. In order to get to know yourself in depth, it is important to learn and accept what you want and what you do not want.
Learn to enjoy your own company. You will be surprised to find out how many things you can do by yourself and actually have fun in the process. Reading romantic novels, poetry or science fiction is only a few of the things that you can do by yourself, which not only can offer you hours of enjoyment, but also the chance to get to know yourself better.
Satisfy yourself. Pay special attention to your personal hygiene(卫生). Do your hair and nails often and experiment with new styles. Follow a healthy diet and exercise regularly to stay in good shape. No matter how busy your daily schedule is, always find at least an hour per day for yourself, when you can either relax doing absolutely nothing, or doing something that you enjoy.
Learn to respect your own boundaries(分界线). Find out what your boundaries are and learn to respect them. You are the only one who knows what you can and what you cannot accept.
25. If you want to have a good relationship with others, you should first ________.
A. get into the habit of living alone
B. make many friends in society
C. always tell the truth
D. learn to be your own best friend
26. What is the purpose of listening to your inner voice?
A. To keep a good state of mind.
B. To know more about yourself.
C. To enjoy the time by yourself.
D. To form a relationship with others.
27. In order to please yourself, the writer gives some suggestions EXCEPT ________.
A. eating healthily
B. exercising regularly
C. experimenting with new hair style
D. keeping on cleaning the house
28. What is the structure（结构） of the passage?
C
Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy .After all ,you probably sing or whistle when you are happy.
Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy .However ,they sing most of the time for a very different reason .Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.
Do you know what a “territory” is ?A territory is an area that an animal ,usually the male, claims（声称）as its own .Only he and his family are welcome there .No other families of the same species （物种）are welcome .Your yard and house are your territory where only your family and friends are welcome . If a stranger
should enter your territory and threaten you ,you might shout .Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.
If so ,you have actually scared the stranger away without having to fight him.A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time ,especially at nesting（筑巢）season. So he is screaming all the time ,whether he can see an outsider or not .This screaming is what we call a bird’s song ,and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.
Birds sing loudest in the spring when they are trying to attract a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.
You can see that birds have a language all their own .Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories. 29．Some scientists believe that most of the time birds’singing is actually .
A．an expression of happiness B．a way of greeting
C．an expression of anger D． a way of warning 30．What is a bird’s “territory”?
A．A place where families of other species are not accepted. B．An area which a bird considers to be its own .
C．An area for which birds fight against each other.
D． A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice. 31．Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season?
A．Because they want to invite more friends.
B．Because their singing helps get rid of their fears.
C．Because they want to find outsiders around.
D．Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. 32．How does the writer explain birds’singing?
A．By describing birds’daily life. B．By reporting experiment results.
C．By comparing birds with human beings. D．By telling a bird’s story.

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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Is there anything more important than health? I don’t think so. “ 33 ” , wise people say.
If you have a headache, toothache, backache, or bad pain in the
stomach, if you complain of a bad cough, or if you suffer from high
or low blood pressure, I think you go to the doctor.
The doctor will examine your throat, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, check your teeth
or have your chest X-rayed. 34 The only thing you have to do is follow his advice.
35 An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to
a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. 36 In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rul e:” Eat at pleasure, drink
at pleasure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldn’t smoke more than one cigarette a day.
A month later the gentleman came into the doctor’s office.
37 He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.
“But you know, doctor” he said,” it’s not easy to begin smoking at my age.”
A. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks.
B. You can’t be good at your studies or work well when you are ill.
C. After that he will advise some treatment or some medicine.
D. Health is the greatest wealth.
E. He looked cheerful and happy.
F. He was more worried about his illness.
G. Speaking about doctor’s advice, I can’t help telling you a funny story

Dear Serena,
I’m so happy to hear that you’re interested in learning Chinese. Chinese is an interesting but difficult language, which will take a long time to master. Therefore, you need to develop confidence and get ready to make great efforts. Furthermore, you should put what you’ve learnt into practice. The more you speak and practice Chinese, the better you are good at. Besides, as every language is deeply rooted in its culture, knowing the culture behind the language is a must. In the process of learning Chinese, you should try to experience the rich Chinese culture, which may help you get a better understanding of Chinese.
I really hope that the advice above can be of some help.
Yours。
