AHave you ever heard of an old saying? Intelligence is a born ability while goodness is a choice. Gifts are easy—they’re given after a ll. Choice can be hard．I got the idea to start Amazon 16 years ago. I came across the fact that the Internet usage was growing at 2300 percent per year. I’d never seen or heard of anything that grew that fast, and the idea of building an online bookstore with millions of titles was very exciting to me. I had just turned 30 years old, an d I’d been married for a year. I told my wife MacKenzie that I wanted to quit my job and go to do this crazy thing that probably wouldn’t work since most start-ups don’t and I wasn’t sure what to expect．MacKenzie told me I should go for it．As a young boy，I’d been a garage inventor．I’d always wanted to be an inventor，and she wanted me to follow my passion．I was working at a financial firm in New York City with a bunch of very smart people and I had a brilliant boss that I much admired. I went to my boss and told him I wanted to start a company selling books on the Internet. He took me on a long walk in Central Park，listened carefully to me，and finally said，“That sounds like a really goodidea，but it would be an even better idea for someone who didn’t alr eady have a good job．”That logic made some sense to me，and he convinced me to think about it for 48 hours before making a final decision．Seen in that light, it really was a difficult choice，but finally，I decided I had to give it a shot．I didn’t think I’d r egret trying and failing．And I suspected I would always be haunted by a decision to not try at all.After much consideration，I took the less safe path to follow my passion，and I’m proud of that choice. For all of us, in the end, we are our choice．21．What inspired the author with the idea of building an online bookstore?A. His dream of being an inventor．B. The support of his wife．C. The greatly increasing usage of the Internet．D. Millions of exciting titles.22. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A. The idea of not trying would keep coming to his mind and disturb him．B. He would be very excited if he tried it out．C. H e would be always having a doubt if he didn’t try．D. The decision to not try the online bookstore would terrify him．23. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?A. Cleverness and KindnessB. The Starting of AmazonC. Following My PassionD. We Are What We Choose24. We can know from the passage that_______．A. the boss thought the idea was suitable for the authorB. the author wanted someone else to try the ideaC. the author might not regret if he failed the ideaD. the author might go back to his boss if he failedBWith the development of modern society, human beings are increasingly invading wild animals’ habitat as well as the wild plants’. Nearly a third of the world’s cacti (仙人掌) are facing the threat of extinction, according to a shocking global assessment of the effects.Cacti are an important provider of food and water to desert wildlife ranging from wolves and deer to tortoises, bats and birds, and these fauna spread the plants’seeds in return.But the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN)’s first worldwide health check of the plants says that they are coming under huge pressure from human activities such as land use changes, commercial and residential developments and shrimp farming. But the paper said the driver of cacti species extinction was the “uncontrolled collection of live plants and private decorating collections, and annual agriculture.”The findings were described as “disturbing” by Inger Anderson, the IUCN’s director-general. “They confirm that the scale of the illegal wildlife trade, including the trade in plants is much greater than we had previously thought, and that wildlife illegal trade concerns many more species than the elephants which tend to receive global attention.”Cacti are almost always delicious but unlike most others, they store water in their stems alone, enabling them to survive extreme draughts. The plants can be as small as one centimeter in diameter and grow above 19 meters in height. Well over half of the species are used by humans for display decoration, food or medicine. Almost 1,500 types of cacti were surveyed by the IUCN specialists over a five-year period, mostly in America.Dealing with the illegal trade is a hard task as they can be hidden in suitcases or even socks. While countries such as Peru have made progress in blocking the illegal trade, the IUCN is calling for more strictly carrying out the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species (Cites) in the “hotspots’’ of Uruguay, Brazil and Chile. Mexico has made advances but still has work to do, according to Goettsch.25. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?A. What causes cacti species extinctionB. What gives people pressureC. What IUCN has foundD. What farmers have planted26. In Inger Anderson’s opinion, _____________.。

But that was before the pair of crows (乌鸦). Out of nowhere, they had set up their base camp in our backyard.We first discovered our feathered enemies on Friday morning. It was early, and the sound the birds made traveled through our neighborhood. I figured they'd go away soon. But, no. They were getting louder and probably annoying my neighbors nearly as much as us with the noise. I admit I got a little desperate.Then, on Sunday afternoon, I looked out the kitchen window to see our dog Quatchi staring at something on the ground. I went to explore and found a small coal-black bird in the grass. Its eyes were milky, and it stayed perfectly still as my dog walked towards it. Only when Quatchi touched his nose to its head did it walk away. I grabbed the dog and locked him inside and came back with my camera.It never occurred to me that the young would be hanging out on the ground, growing and gaining strength as its parents guarded it from above. The second I saw this little creature I forgave the crows.To be honest, I've never been much of a bird person. I also have a healthy respect for birds. They're basically living dinosaurs.I wish they'd chosen another backyard. There are only so many sunny days in Seattle, and I still can't do any gardening out there. But I'm also grateful that I got to see this little bit of nature unfold up close. It's pretty amazing.The experience has also strengthened my desire to create a beautiful backyard garden that attracts lots of bees, butterflies, and yes, birds. They are welcome here.24. The arrival of the two crows _____.A. angered the author's neighborsB. frightened the author's dogC. disturbed the author's lifeD. damaged the author's backyard25. Why did the author lock her dog up?A. She wanted to take some photos.B. She wanted to protect the little bird.C. The dog kept making loud noises.D. The parent crows were to attack the dog.26. After seeing the little crow, the author _____.A. decided to help look after itB. planned to drive the crows awayC. fell in love with the pair of crowsD. was curious to know its growing process27. The author writes the text mainly to _____.A. show an annoying situationB. share a personal experienceC. call on readers to protect birdsD. seek advice on dealing with crowsCEducators across the U.S. are calling for major changes to the admission process in higher education.The National Center for Educational Statistics (or NCES) reported that U.S. colleges and universities received more than 9 million applications between 2013 and 2014 and admitted more than 5 million students. But the problem is not in the number of students, a new report says. The report is called “Tur ning the Tide —Making Caring Common.”The report argues that the process schools use to choose students causes major problems. David Hawkins is the Executive Director for Educational Content and Policy. He says that most colleges and universities require many things from students when they apply.Schools usually require an essay describing a student’s interests or why they want to study at that school. The schools also ask for letters from teachers describing why a student is a good candidate. But, Hawkins says, schools are most concerned with a student’s high school grades and standardized test results.The Education Conservancy is an organization that fights to make higher education equal and available.Lloyd Thacker is the Executive Director of the Education Conservancy, saying that the college admission process has changed a lot.“Over the past 30 years, college admissions have become more complex.” He says that ranking systems for colleges and universities are a big part of the problem.U.S. News and World Report is a media company that creates a list of what it calls “America’s Best Colleges.” The company bases the list on information collected from colleges and universities across the country. This information includes results of standardized tests like the SAT from all of a school’s students. Higher average test results help put schools higher on the list.Thacker claims, “Too many students are learning to do whatever it takes in order to get ahead, even if that means sacrificing their own individuality, their health, their happiness and behavior...”“The impact on students and on parents is that college is all about where you go. The rank has nothing to do with the quality of education that goes on at the college.”The Harvard report states that the best way to change the admission process is by changing college applications.28. When choosing students, colleges and universities attach greatest importance to _______.A. their personal interestB. their academic performanceC. their t eachers’ opinionD. their reasons for application29. The media company ranks the schools on the basis of_______.A. peoples’ attitude towards the schoolsB. employment rate of its graduatesC. the schools’ teaching qualityD. information like test results30. Which of the following does Lloyd Thacker probably agree with?A. Colleges are supposed to admit more and more students.B. It is necessary to apply for a proper university by referring to the rank.C. There is little relationship between colleges’ rank and the quality of education.D. The better the applicants’ grades are, the more likely they will be admitted.31. Which of the following is the best title of the passage?A. Higher Rankings Matter a Great Deal.B. Colleges Look to Change Admission Process.C. Colleges’ Admission Process Makes a Difference.D. Testing Results Determine Students’ Fate.DMy daughter went to see The Wild One recently and she commented that Marlon Brando was wearing jeans so long ago. Of course he helped set the trend, so that got me thinking about the link between films and trends in fashion. Fashion and films have gone hand in hand for long. The Wild One is a good example: it appeared in 1954, starring Brando. Dressed in a black leather motorcycle jacket, leather cap and jeans, he created a look which is still considered “cool” today. Everyone from Madonna to middle-aged men is seen wearing the classic leather motorcycle jacket.Another strong influence on fashion trends was Breakfast at Tiffany’s, starring Audrey Hepburn. She made famous the simple black dress that looks perfect at either a cocktail party or just standing around an expensive department store like Tiffany’s with a pastry and coffee in your hand, as Audrey Hepburn does in the film. She looks so elegant, wearing simple but beautiful dresses, big dark glasses and a string of pearls around her neck. Audrey Hepburn still influences women’s fashion with her “Tiffany’s look”.In more modern times, the film star Uma Thurman created a major fashion trend when she appeared in the film Pulp Fiction, made in 1994. Her style was very simple. Her black trousers, crisp white shirt and hair style was copied by women in the world.Influencing fashion trends can often be about timing. The movie Memoirs of a Geisha came just in time to start a trend in Japanese fashion. It started the Chinese actress Zhang Ziyi, who wore beautiful silk kimonos(和服), and it won an Oscar for Costume Design. Many travel companies picked up on the trend and ran “geisha trips” to Japan. The film has also led to a regained interest in kimonos. It is now quite common to see young Japanesewomen wearing kimonos not just on traditional occasions, but at various social events. The fashion is also beginning to spread to western countries.32. What is the best title of the passage?A. Films and fashion.B. Stars’ fashion.C. Influential films.D. Film cultures.33. Who will people associate Madonna wearing the leather motorcycle jacket with?A. Zhang Ziyi.B. Audrey Hepburn.C. Uma Thurman.D. Marlon Brando.34. What is implied in the film Breakfast in Tiffany’s according to the passage?A. One can be active by wearing black.B. One can be elegant by wearing simply.C. One can be famous by looking perfect.D. One can be stylish by eating at Tiffany’s.35. What does the film Memoirs of a Geisha lead to?A. The popularity of the Chinese actress.B. The worldwide reading of Geisha stories.C. The recovery of interest in kimonos.D. The “geisha trips” to social events.第二节（共5小题；每题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。

They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she did n’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he lookedat his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.21.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”A.A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.B.A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.C.A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.D.A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.22.Why didn't the father pick the boy up himself?A.He was very lazy.B.He thought the mother had picked him up.C.He forgot to pick him up.D.He was too tired to do it.23.What can we learn from this passage?A.Be careful in everything you do.B.Love is the most important thing.C.Learn to forgive others.D.Everyone can make mistakes.24.What do you think of the husband?A.Warm-hearted.B.Careful.C.Hard-working.D.Broad-minded.BToday，people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big，noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills，mountains，fields，rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets，buildings，traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban_areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries，the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town，people come to find work，and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby，where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools，hospitals and shops，so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world，there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States，this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city，far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant，with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years，and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.25.We can easily know that the underlined phrase “urban areas” means________.A.areas of the countrysideB.areas of a town or cityC.areas near the countrysideD.areas near a town or city26.Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A.Because they can live more comfortably there.B.Because they prefer a noisy life to a peaceful life.C.Because they want to find work.D.Because they are sure of having a better life there.27.In a residential area，you can see________.A.rows of houses，schools and shopsB.many offices and factoriesC.a lot of factories and farmsD.many houses with offices and factories28.In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city________.A.while living on the faraway edge of the cityB.and live thereC.but live in another cityD.but live far away out of the cityCAfter numerous warnings over the years, you thought coffee probably had a negative effect on your health. Perhaps the drink is not so bad after all.The new study, conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), has been published and suggests that coffee does not have a harmful effect on your health. Researchers suggest, based on data examined, older adults who drink a lot of coffee, have a lower risk of death when compared to their non-drinking coffee peers.The team of researchers conducting the study analyzed data on 400,000 U. S. men and women, aged 50 to 71 years; the individuals had participated in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. This study started in 1995-1996 and was tracked until the day a participant passed away, or Dec. 31, 2008.According to a press release on the report, researchers shared that coffee drinkers are “less likely to die from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections, although the relationship was not seen for cancer.”Results indicated participants that drank three or more cups of coffee a day reduced their risk ofdeath by 10 percent. Based on the findings that both caffeinated and non-caffeinated coffee found similar results, researchers are thinking caffeine is not the protective ingredient(原料), although which ingredient in coffee might be, they are not sure.Researchers indicate that despite these observational findings, they caution（警告）it is not clear whether or not drinking coffee actually extends life expectancy.“Coffee is one of the most widely drunk drinks in America, but the relationship between coffee consumption and risk of death has been unclear. We found coffee consumption to be associated with lower risk of death overall, and of death from a number of different ca uses,” said Neal Freedman, Ph. D., Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, NCI.“Although we cannot infer a relationship between coffee drinking and lower risk of death, we believe these results do provide some comfort that coffee drinking does not adversely（不利地）affect health,” Freedman said.Dr. Cheryl Williams, a registered dietician, told ABC News, “Overall, more research needs to be done to truly understand the ingredients in coffee and their biological activity and effect on health,” said Will iams.29.The passage is mainly about __________.A.medical benefits of coffeeB.the importance of drinking coffeeC.coffee’s negative effects on healthD.new study results on coffee30.The findings show that __________.A.people who often drink coffee are more likely to get cancer.B.people rely heavily on coffee drinking and that proves to be a problemC.drinking coffee can help reduce the risk of death from some diseasesD.caffeine is the very ingredient which protects people from disease.31.W hat can we infer from William’s words?A.People should take advantages of drinking coffee.B.People should carry out more related and effective studies.C.People should drink more caffeinated coffee.D.People should analyze the cause of human death.32.The author develops the text mainly byA.providing typical examplesparing opinions from different fieldsC.presenting a cause and analyzing its effectsD.showing scientific data and informationDGONE WITH THE WINDAuther: Margaret Mitchell¥25 (in bookstore) ¥18 (online)Gone With the Wind is a best-seller, which tells a story that happened in the American Civil War.

They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she di dn’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he looked at his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.21.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”A.A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.B.A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.C.A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.D.A person who loo ks like an apple in their opinion.22.Why didn't the father pick the boy up himself?A.He was very lazy.B.He thought the mother had picked him up.C.He forgot to pick him up.D.He was too tired to do it.23.What can we learn from this passage?A.Be careful in everything you do.B.Love is the most important thing.C.Learn to forgive others.D.Everyone can make mistakes.24.What do you think of the husband?A.Warm-hearted.B.Careful.C.Hard-working.D.Broad-minded.BToday，people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big，noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills，mountains，fields，rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world ofstreets，buildings，traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban_areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries，the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town，people come to find work，and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby，where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools，hospitals and shops，so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world，there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States，this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city，far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant，with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years，and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.25.We can easily know that the underlined phrase “urban areas” means________.A.areas of the countrysideB.areas of a town or cityC.areas near the countrysideD.areas near a town or city26.Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A.Because they can live more comfortably there.B.Because they prefer a noisy life to a peaceful life.C.Because they want to find work.D.Because they are sure of having a better life there.27.In a residential area，you can see________.A.rows of houses，schools and shopsB.many offices and factoriesC.a lot of factories and farmsD.many houses with offices and factories28.In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city________.A.while living on the faraway edge of the cityB.and live thereC.but live in another cityD.but live far away out of the cityCAfter numerous warnings over the years, you thought coffee probably had a negative effect on your health. Perhaps the drink is not so bad after all.The new study, conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), has been published and suggests that coffee does not have a harmful effect on your health. Researchers suggest, based on data examined, older adults who drink a lot of coffee, have a lower risk of death when compared to their non-drinking coffee peers.The team of researchers conducting the study analyzed data on 400,000 U. S. men and women, aged 50 to 71 years; the individuals had participated in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. This study started in 1995-1996 and was tracked until the day a participant passed away, or Dec. 31, 2008.According to a press release on the report, researchers shared that coffee drinkers are “less likely to die from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections, although the relationship was not seen for cancer.”Results indicated participants that drank three or more cups of coffee a day reduced their risk of death by 10 percent. Based on the findings that both caffeinated andnon-caffeinated coffee found similar results, researchers are thinking caffeine is not the protective ingredient(原料), although which ingredient in coffee might be, theyare not sure.Researchers indicate that despite these observational findings, they caution（警告）it is not clear whether or not drinking coffee actually extends life expectancy. “Co ffee is one of the most widely drunk drinks in America, but the relationship between coffee consumption and risk of death has been unclear. We found coffee consumption to be associated with lower risk of death overall, and of death from a number of differe nt causes,” said Neal Freedman, Ph. D., Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, NCI.“Although we cannot infer a relationship between coffee drinking and lower risk of death, we believe these results do provide some comfort that coffee drinking does not adversely（不利地）affect health,” Freedman said.Dr. Cheryl Williams, a registered dietician, told ABC News, “Overall, more research needs to be done to truly understand the ingredients in coffee and their biological activity and effect on health,” said Williams.29.The passa ge is mainly about __________.A.medical benefits of coffeeB.the importance of drinking coffeeC.coffee’s negative effects on healthD.new study results on coffee30.The findings show that __________.A.people who often drink coffee are more likely to get cancer.B.people rely heavily on coffee drinking and that proves to be a problemC.drinking coffee can help reduce the risk of death from some diseasesD.caffeine is the very ingredient which protects people from disease.31.What can we infer from William’s words?A.People should take advantages of drinking coffee.B.People should carry out more related and effective studies.C.People should drink more caffeinated coffee.D.People should analyze the cause of human death.32.The author develops the text mainly byA.providing typical examplesparing opinions from different fieldsC.presenting a cause and analyzing its effectsD.showing scientific data and informationDGONE WITH THE WINDAuther: Margaret Mitchell¥25 (in bookstore)¥18 (online)Gone With the Wind is a best-seller, which tells a story that happened in the American Civil War.

Livraria Lello, Porto, PortugalFirst opened in 1906, it is in Portugal's second city, Porto. Its front with a beautiful design, complicated decoration and volumes of books attract many admirers.

W a l k i n g i n t o t h e b u i l d i n g,Ijust felt excited, looking forward to what I was going to find outin the visit, something I would like to share with my beloved husband when I got home.Just as I walked past the Chinese Antique Porcelain section, one c o l l e c t i o n c a u g h t m y e y e sand heart very much: a Chinese plate with a drawing of a garden sce ne with two ladies, a child, a dog and a willow, very beautiful and unique. It reminded me that my mum used to have a similar plate like that;of course it was not from the Ming Dynasty, but we had pl a t e s a n d b o w l s o f a similar design, following and serving us for many years.I still remember every day mum was busy cooking for eight of us.W h i l e w a i t i n g f o r t h e dinner to be ready, we would play in the garden, jumping up and dow n, with the family dogs and cats also running around. When the dinne r w a s r e a d y,w e a l l r a n o v e r t o t h e b i g r o u n d t a b l e, everyone holding a bowl with rice, and chopsticks, getting ready to f i g h t f o r t h e f o o d o n t h e t a b l e. My mum normally would prepare five or six dishes served with those b e a u t i f u l C h i n e s e p l a t e s.The noises of chatting mixed with the warm heat, sweat, and wind blo wing would slowly accompanythe sun setting down. The pleasant evening would come and purple and blue colored the sky. Mum’s face was full of shine and happiness; she loved to see us finish all her dishes. She would always be the last person to eat, and basically the last to clear the leftovers. Mum always put herself last and the children first. Then I moved away and lived so far from her, but the food that she prepared always stays in my heart, and I always remember the beautiful Chinese plates.Plates for many people can be just tools to serve food, nothing m o r e t h a n t h a t.B u t f o r m e t h e yare not plates, for me they are a memory.25.Why did the Chinese plate in the Museum draw the author’s attention?A.

Pleased.D. Encouraged.CIt’s cold and dark outside, and your bed is so warm and comfortable. Goingfor a runseems like such a bad idea. But before you hide your running shoes, it might be worth givingthat crazy idea a go.According to The HuffingtonPost, an outdoor run in winter, as opposed to one on atreadmill（跑步机）,burns more calories because the body is working hard to regulate （调节）itscore temperature. Furthermore, research shows that race times are faster in cold weather than inwarmer temperaturesand quicker runs burn more calories. Similarly, cold weather also makesthe heart work harder to distribute blood through the body, making that vital muscle evenstronger.Outdoor exercise also turns up your energy and rids you of the stress and depression thatbuild up every day. The heat and humidity insummer can drag you down and tire youfaster, but cold weather is refreshing. It adjusts you to your surroundings, making you feelalive.Of course, the threat of smog in some built-up areas is a further hurdle to winter exercise.Heart attacks, strokes, lung cancer and asthma are all dangers of running in smog. The combinationof air pollution and exercise increases the potential problems. If you do choose to run outside onsmoggy days, take a path ina park or residential area to avoid car exhaust（尾气）,and go earlyin the morning, before rush hour. But staying inside on smoggy days and waiting for the nextclear day to run is best.28.How does cold weather benefit runners, compared with warm weather?A.They can run more slowly.B. They can take in more calories.C. Their hearts can function harder.D. Their body temperature can get lower.29. How does summer affect runners?A. It builds up their energy quickly.B. It makes runners tired easily.C. It lessens runners’stress.D. It causes heart attacks.30. What are the runners supposed to do on smoggy days?A. Stop driving cars.B. Do more exercise.C. Avoid outdoor exercise.D. Run late in the morning.31. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Refresh with a Winter RunB. Take Outdoor Exercise in SummerC. Go to Run in a ParkD. Follow the Tips to Reduce StressDTea，the most typical English drink，became established in Britain because of the influence of a foreign princess，Catherine of Braganza，the queen of Charles II．As a lover of tea since her childhood in Portugal，she brought tea-drinking to the English royal court and set a trend for thebeverage in the 17th century．The fashion soon spread beyond the circle of the nobility to the middle classes，and tea became a popular drink at the London coffee houses where people met to do business and discuss events of the day．Many employers served a cup of tea to their workers in the middle of the morning，thus inventing a lasting British institution，the“tea break．”However，drinking tea in social settings outside the workplace was beyond the means of the majority of British people．It came with a high price tag and tea was taxed as well．Around 1800，the seventh Duchess of Bedford，Anne Maria，began the popular practice of“afternoon tea，”a ceremony taking place at about four o’clock．Until then，people did not usually eat or drink anything between lunch and dinner．At approximately the same time，the Earl of Sandwich popularized a new way of eating bread—in thin slices, with something like jam or cucumbers between them．Before long，a small meal at the end of the afternoon，involving tea and sandwiches, became part of the British way of life．As tea became much cheaper during the 19th century, its popularity spread right through all corners of the British society. Thus, tea became Britain’s favorite drink. In working-class households，it was served with the main meal of the day，eaten when workers returned home after a day’s labor．This meal has become known as“high tea．”Today，tea can be drunk at any time of the day，and accounts for over two-fifths of all drinks consumed in Britain---with the exception of water．32．What is mainly discussed about tea in the text?A．Its development in Britain．B．Its traditional ways of drinking．C．Its influence around the world．D．Its popularity inEurope．33．What does the underlined words“the beverage”probably refer to?A．Tea drinking．B．A small meal．C．A way of eating bread．D．A choice of drinks．34．Why was tea unable to be accepted as a common drink in Britain in the 17th century?A．It was merely served in London．B．It was taxed as an alcoholic drink．C．It was forbidden in business settings．D．It was too expensive for most people．35．How is the text organized?A．By cause and effect．B．By comparison．C．In time order．D．In frequency order．.第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，共10分)根据短文内容，从短文后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。

In the early afternoon, when he was planning to go home, a fierce snowstorm swept into the area. Unable to see far, he accidentally turned off the path. Before he knew it, Nicholas was lost, all alone! He didn’t have food, water, a phone, or other supplies. He was getting colder by the minute. Nicholas had no idea where he was. He tried not to panic. He thought about all of the survival shows he had watched on TV. It was time to put the tips he had learned to use.He decided to stop skiing. There was a better chance of someone finding him if he stayed put. The first thing he did was to find shelter from the freezing wind and snow. If he didn’t, his body temperature would get very low, which could quickly kill him.Using his skis, Nicholas built a snow cave. He gathered a huge mass of snow and dug out a hole in the middle. Then he piled branches on top of himself, like a blanket, to stay as warm as he could.By that evening, Nicholas was really hungry. He ate snow and drank water from a nearby stream so that his body wouldn’t lose too much water. Not knowing how much longer he could last, Nicholas did the only thing he could—he huddled (蜷缩) in his cave and slept.The next day, Nicholas went out to look for help, but he couldn’t find anyone. He followed his tracks and returned to the snow cave, because without shelter, he could die that night. On Tuesday, Nicholas went out again to find help. He had walked for about a mile when a volunteer searcher found him. After two days stuck in the snow, Nicholas was saved.Nicholas might not have survived this snowstorm had it not been for TV. He had often watched Grylls’ survival show Man vs. Wild. That’s where he learned the tips that saved his life. In each episode (一期节目)of Man vs. Wild, Grylls is abandoned in a wild area and has to find his way out.When Grylls heard about Nicholas’ amazing deeds, he was super impressed that Nicholas had made it since he knew better than anyone how hard Nicholas had to work to stay alive.51.What happened to Nicholas one Sunday afternoon?A.He got lost.B.He broke his skis.C.He hurt his eyes.D.He caught a cold.52.How did Nicholas keep himself warm?A.He found a shelter.B.He lighted some branches.C.He kept on skiing.D.He built a snow cave.53.On Tuesday, Nicholas _____.A.returned to his shelter safelyB.was saved by a searcherC.got stuck in the snowD.stayed where he was54.Nicholas left Grylls a very deep impression because he _____.A.did the right things in the dangerous situationB.watched Grylls’ TV program regularlyC.created some tips for survivalD.was very hard-workingBA man once said how useless it was to put advertisements in the newspapers. “Last week,” said he, “my umbrella was stolen from a London church. As it was a present, I spe nt twice its worth in advertising, but didn’t get it back.”“How did you write your advertisement?” asked one of the listeners, a merchant.“Here it is,” said the man, taking out of his pocket a slip cut from a newspaper. The other man took it and read, “Lost from the City Church last Sunday evening a black silk umbrella. The gentleman who finds it will receive ten shillings on leaving it at No 10 Broad Street.”“Now,” said the merchant, “I often advertise, and find that it pays me well. But the way in which an advertisement is expressed is of extreme importance. Let us try your umbrella again, and if it fails, I will buy you a new one.”The merchant then took a slip of paper out of his pocket and wrote: “If the man who was seen to take an umbrella fro m the City Church last Sunday evening doesn’t wish to get into trouble, he will return the umbrella to No. 10 Broad Street. He is well known.”This appeared in the paper, and on the following morning, the man was astonished when he opened the front door. In the doorway lay at least twelve umbrellas of all sizes and colors that had been thrown in and his own was among the number. Many of them had notes fastened to them saying that they had been taken by mistake, and begging the loser not to say anything about the matter.55.According to the first advertisement, who would receive ten shillings?A.The one left the umbrella at No. 10 Broad Street.B.The one left the umbrella in the City Church.C.The one found the umbrella at No. 10 Broad Street.D.The one gave the message to the man.56.The result of the first advertisement was that ________.A.the man got his umbrella backB.the man found his umbrellaC.the man found his umbrellaD.the man wasted some money advertising57.“If it fails, I will buy you a new one” suggested that _______.A.he was rich enough to afford an umbrellaB.he was not sure he would get the umbrella backC.he was ready to help othersD.he was quite sure of his success58.This is a story about ________.A.how to make an effective advertisementB.how a man lost and found his umbrellaC.how to find lost thingsD.how to put an advertisement in the newspaperCThere once was a little boy who wanted to meet the king. He set off, walking towards the king’s castle. After many years of walking, the king’s castle came into his view. However, as the boy drew closer to the outside of the castle, the guards noticed him.“Get out of here!” ordered the guards. Well, the little boy didn’t have to be told twice. He turned…and ran. All he wanted to do was tell the king wonderful things, and see all the beautiful things in the king’s house. But he couldn’t even get near the castle! The boy finally stopped running, sat down and cried.A young man happened to be coming down the path at the very moment. He saw the little boy and stopped. “What’s wrong, young man?” he asked.“Sir, I walked and walked just to see the king. But these guards made me scared. I wanted to tell the king how lovely everything is and just tel l the king that I just wanted to see him!”The man looked at the little boy thoughtfully. “Look, why don’t you try again. I’ll come with you this time.”The little boy got up and took the man’s hand. The king’s guards spotted them.Look, mister, we don’t have to do this…I don’t want you to get hurt. We can just turn around now.”The man held the little boy’s hand and went on. The boy really thought the man might be crazy until he looked back up at the guards. They were all smiling now. The little boy was amazed.“Who are you?” asked the little boy in astonishment.“Why, I’m the king’s son. You can enter the castle and be with the king.” said the man.The little boy broke into a huge smile.59.Why did the boy want to see the king?A.To get some help from the king.B.To share wonderful things with the king.C.To invite the king to visit his beautiful village.D.To ask the king to play with him.60.What does the underlined sentence in the paragraph mean?A.The little boy understood the guards’ words immed iately.B.The guards repeated the words to the boy.C.The little boy had been to the castle twice.D.The little boy didn’t understand the guards’ words at first.61.Which of the following best suits the story’s lesson for us?A.Never judge a book by its cover.B.Life can sometimes be unfair.C.Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.D.Make new friends and keep the old.DWhen I was 8 years old, I decided to run away from home after a quarrel with my mother. With my suitcase packed and some sandwiches in a bag, I started for the front door.My mom asked where I was going. “I’m leaving home,” I said.“What’s that you’re carrying?” she asked.“Some clothes and food,” I replied.“If you want to run away, that’s all right,” she said. “But you came into this home without anything and you can leave the same way.”I threw my suitcase and sandwiches on the floor and started for the door again.“Wait a minute,” Mom said. “You didn’t have any clothes on when you arrived, and I want them back.”This infuriated me. I tore my clothes off — shoes, socks, underwear and all — and shouted, “Can I go now?”“Yes,” my mom answered, “but once you close that door, don’t expect to come back.”I was so angry that I shut the door forcefully and stepped out of my home. Then I noticed down the street two neighbor girls walking toward our house. I was so shy that I saw the big spruce (云杉) tree in our yard and jumped under the low-hanging branches (树枝). A pile of dried-up brown needles (针状物) were beneath the tree, and y ou can’t imagine the pain those sharp needles caused to my body.After I was sure the girls had passed by, I ran to the front door and knocked at it loudly.“It’s Billy! Let me in!”The voice behind the door answered, “Billy doesn’t live here anymore. He ran away from home.”Looking behind me to see if anyone else was coming down the street, I said, “Mom! I’m sorry. I’m still your son. Let me in!”The door opened and Mom’s smiling face appeared. “Did you change your mind about running away?” she asked.“What’s for supper?” I smiled back.62.When the author was leaving home, his mother ordered him to _____.A.stay at homeB.take some sandwichesC.leave everything behindD.check his suitcase carefully63.Wh ich of the following can best describe the author’s mom?A.Selfish and proud.B.Strict but loving.C.Kind and helpful.D.Wise but impatient.64.The underlined word “infuriated” probably means “_____”.A.surprisedB.warnedC.encouragedD.angered65.Why did the author jump under the low-hanging branches?A.To avoid being seen.B.To find some needles.C.To play a joke on the two girls.D.To attract the two girls’ atten tion.66.The last sentence “What’s for supper?” mainly shows that the author _____.A.felt very hungry at that timeB.changed his plan to leave homeC.wished to eat something before leavingD.wanted to know what his mother prepared for supperEFarah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party. “Farah，aren’t you going to invite Hafsa？”her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood.“Mot her，you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with，”Farah answered. “Really？And what are the rules？”her mother asked. “Well，only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so...you kno w...dark.” “I cannot believe it，”her mother said angrily.As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room. Farah went to her father and paled when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah，what has happened to your grades？You have failed in Mathematics，”her father said. Farah had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.“Farah，it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考).If your grades don’t improve then，I’ll cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.”Farah went to her room and called Gina，the leader of Purple Girls Club，“Gina，can you help me to complete my notes before the exams？” Gina laughed，“Exams？Who cares about exams？” One by one，she called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.Farah knew Hafsa would help her.

AIt was the men's skating finals of the Winter Olympics when l was 16. Someday I'd be in the Olympics. In fact, it was my dream.That night I lay on our living room floor excitedly watching the battle between the Brians: American Brian Boitano facing Brian Orser in Canada. Both of them had been world champions. Both of them deserved to win. Naturally l was for Brian Boitano,a northern Californian like me. We had skated on the same ice. I held my breath in amazement. Boitano performed successfully. The gold medal! I jumped in the air when his score went up.But what happened next is what I'll never forget. Brian Boitano sat in front of the camera with his coach, surrounded by a group of journalists. He was talking about his career and his medal, talking to the whole world. A terrible sinking feeling went through me. I could never be in the Olympics, I thought. I could not talk in public like that. Just the idea of a press conference terrified me.I loved skating partly because I didn't have to talk. I could express myself with my jumps and dances better. I didn't have to stand up and give a speech like some teachers expected. I could feel the blood rush to my face if I thought a teacher was going to call me. I stared at my shoes. 1 was sure I'd make a fool of myself.The next day l was at the rink（溜冰场）as usual.1 was practising a combination of jumpsthat had once seemed impossible. 1 worked very hard the next few years - on the ice and especially off. After journalists talked to me and although my heart pounded every time I spoke to them, I got to know them. They became familiar faces. And they got to know me. So when my big moment came four years after Brian's, I was ready.Sometimes I think my biggest accomplishment was not winning the gold but talking to the press afterwards. When you do the thing you fear most, you put an end to fear.Fear can stop you dead in your tracks. Fear can kill a dream. What are you afraid of? What scares you more than anything else? This year, walk right up to it and conquer it, step by step.21. What information can we get from the second paragraph?A. The author lived a hard life.B. The author comes from Canada.C. The author once skated with Orser.D. The author wished Boitano to win the match.22. What is one of the reasons why the author liked skating according to the passage?A. She could build up her body to be healthier.B. It could help her to get closer to her idol.C. She could better express herself with body language.D. The possibility of her being a world champion was great.23. What the author felt the most satisfied with is that ．A. she lived up to her coach's expectationsB. she became a world champion as plannedC. she managed to overcome her inner fear eventua llyD. she handled the balance between her career and life24. What does the author mainly want to tell us?A. Face a fear bravely.B.Practice makes perfect.C. Bad times make a good man.D.Failure is the mother of success.BTop five best dressed at the OscarsNo. 5, Keisha Whitaker. I'm still loving yellow.No. 4, Witherspoon seems to be making Best Dressed lists for every event she attends this season.No. 3, Nicole Kidman looked amazing. And honestly, she would have been higher on my list if her dress hadn't had that bow(蝴蝶结 ) thing off to the side that depending on the angle she was standing at, looked like a pirate parrot sitting on her shoulder.No. 2, Cate Blanchett, Armani, simple, yet not boring. And I love the gun metal grey color.And this year's No. 1 Best dressed goes to Penelope Cruz. She gets the No. 1 spot for actually taking a chance, and pulling it off. On a different person, her dusty rose colored Versace could have easily been on the Worst Dressed List. But she looks perfect.Top five worst dressed at the OscarsThe No. 5 Worst Dressed person was Kirsten Dunst. The dress itself was nice, or at least I'm sure it was fashion able. Maybe it would be on anyone but Kirsten, but she ended up looking like a deflated corpse(尸体).No. 4 goes to Gwyneth Paltrow. Her face looked great, but every time the camera cut to a full body shot, it was like "Huh. The dress looks bad. "No. 3, Anne Hthaway. Giant bows are very rarely a good idea, yet everyone keeps wearing them. Anne's bow looked OK at times, but from other angles looked like a large, dead, fuzzy black moth(蛾) on her chest.No. 2, Kelly Pre ston wearing Dolce &. Gabbana leopard print. I'm sorry, it's the leopard print. I can't handle it. And nice hair.And the No. 1 Worst Dressed star at this year's Academy Awards was Jessica Biel. At the Oscars, hot pink and a belt can make anyone look tacky. And then you just end up looking like an 80's pop star in a room otherwise full of princesses and one tiny layer cake.25. How many best dresses are relevant to color according to the comment?A. 2B. 3C.4D. 526. Nicole Kidman would have looked better if .A. her dress had had that bow thing off to the sideB. her dress hadn't had that bow thing off to the sideC. she had moved that bow thing off to the sideD. she hadn't moved that bow thing off to the side.27. Kirsten Dunst became one of the worst dressed because .A. she wore a wrong dressB. the dress was uglyC. the color didn't fit herD. the decoration was bad28. What does the underl ined word "tacky"in the last paragraph mean?A. Immature.B. Original.C. Fashionable.D. Tasteless.CStudents from Florida International University in Miami walked on water Thursday for a class assignment. To do it, they wore aquatic (水上的) shoes they designed and created. Alex Quinones was the first to make it to the other side of a 175foot lake on campus in record time—just over a minute. Quinones, w ho wore oversized boatlike shoes, also won last year and will receive $500. Students had to wear the aquatic shoes and make it across the lake in order to earn an “A” on the assignment for Architecture Professor Jaime Canaves, Materials and Methods Constr uction Class. “It's traditional in a school of architecture to do boats out of cardboard for a boat race. I thought our students were a little bit more special than that，” Canaves said. “We decided to do the walk on water event to take it to the next level.”A total of 79 students competed in the race this year in 41 teams. Only 10 teams failed to cross the lake. Others who fell got back up and made it to the end. The race is open to all students and anyone in the community. The youngest person to ever participate was a 9yearold girl who competed in place of her mother, while the oldest was a 67yearold female.A large crowd on campus joined Canaves as he cheered on the racers. He shouted encouraging words, but also laughed as some unsteadily made their way to the end.“A part of this is for them to have more understanding of designing and make it work better，” he said. It is also a lesson in life for the students.“Anything, including walking on water, is possible, if you do the research, test it and go through the design process seriously.”29．For what purpose did the students take part in the race?A．To go across the lake to school. B．To pass Professor Canaves' class.C．To test their balance on the water. D．To win the prize money of $500. 30．Which of the following statements is true according to the passage?A．Most students finished the class assignment successfully.B．The students who fell into the water were criticized seriously by the Professor. C．The students wore shoes distributed by Professor Canaves to walk across the lake. D．The students took part in the race to challenge their physical abilities.31．What can we infer from the passage?A．Alex Quinones is a top student in the university.B．It's a custom for the people in the community to get involved in student activities. C．The student who made it to the end in the race would succeed in their professional career. D．Professor Canaves attaches importance to handson learning experience.32．The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．show his approval of the unique teaching style B．inspire teachers to be more creative C．repo rt an interesting assignment D．encourage more people to take part in the raceDGrandpa's hobby was making birdhouses. He always said, “A man has to keep busy to stay out of trouble.” Leigh wasn't sure how much trouble Grandpa could get into anyway, since he was such a nice guy, but she tried to listen to his advice. Besides, she liked to help him on his birdhouses.Grandpa's shop was full of welloiled and carefullykept tools. Whenever he used something, he put it back in exactly the right place. He had rules about how he treated his tools, because he hated buying something new if the old one still worked. He also made sure to clean up each time he worked on something.It wasn't too fun cleaning up, but it was nice to watch him cut boards to exact lengths. It was nice to see the drill put in holes for screws (螺丝) to go in cleanly. It was likebeing a doctor, but with wood. The best part of building was seeing all the pieces come together in the final form.The last steps always included lacquer or paint, to help protect Grandpa's hard work from the weather. His birdhouses lasted for years. If he didn't coat them properly, the sun and rain would turn the wood grey and weak in a short period of time. No, he always made sure to do things right. Even if he put rocks or other cute decorations (装饰) on them, it was done right and made to last.Grandpa was a hard worker, but he was also smart and generous. He let Leigh keep the birdhouses sometimes, but only if he got to help hang it up or set the post for it. It had to be done just right, after all.The birdhouses were a great way to learn about woodworking, hard work, taking care of what you have, and about birds. The best thing about building birdhouses was that Leigh spent some time with Grandpa.33．What's the best title for the text?A. Longlasting Birdhouses B．Birdhouses MakingC．Birdhouses, Home for Birds D．Grandpa's Birdhouses34．What did Leigh value most?A．Listening to Grandpa's advice. B．Helping Grandpa on his birdhouses.C．Spending some time with Grandpa. D．Learning about woodworking and birds. 35．We can learn from the text that Grandpa ________.A．was a very good carpenter B．lived a very hard lifeC．didn't care about cleaning up D.kept thousands of birds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.There are many reasons for people to study abroad.

When you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows this. Yet there are many people who do not seem to know that one’s memory works in the same way. Wh en someone saysthat he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by exercising it regularly. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.If a friend complains that his arms are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents are to blame, or that he is just unlucky, and few of us realize that it is really his own fault. Not all of us can become very strong or very clever, but all of us can improve our memory by the same means — practice.Have you ever noticed that people who cannot read or write usually have a better memory than those who can? Why is this? Of course, because peopl e who can’t read or write have to remember things: they cannot write them down in a little notebook. They have to remember dates, prices, names, songs and stories, so their memory is exercised all the time.So if you want a good memory, learn from those who cannot read or write: practise remembering.41.According to the passage, few people know that _____.A.arms or legs become weak if they are not used for some timeB.when they start using their arms or legs again, they slowly become strong againC.a p erson’s memory becomes weak if he does not practise remembering thingsD.it is their own fault if their arms or legs are weak42.The author thinks that if a person has a poor memory, _________.A.it is his own faultB.his parents are to blameC.he is just unluckyD.his arms must be weak43.From Paragraph 3, we can learn that _________.A.people who can’t read are cleverer than those who canB.people who can’t write are cleverer than those who canC.a little notebook helps people who cannot read or write get a better memoryD.people who practise remembering regularly have a better memory44.The passage mainly tells us ____________.A.how to get our arms and legs strongerB.how to improve our memoryC.how to read and writeD.how to remember dates and pricesBOne day, Jack’s parents told him that his grandpa would retire after working for forty years. Jack said in surprise, "I'm only seven, so it means Grandpa has been…er… A really long time!"His parents said, "Yes. That's why we are going to have a surprising party for him.

They were business cards with new position: FULL-TIME GRANDPA! Jack said, "Now your full-time job is my grandpa!"Well, how much do I get paid?" his grandpa asked, smiling. "As many hugs as you want!"

The next morning when I woke up, I would find two coins replacing my tooth. Then I'd wonder about the tooth fairy(牙齿精灵) all day.“Mom, where do you think the tooth fairy lives? What does she do with the teeth she collects ?”My mom said she didn't know. She only knew that the tooth fairy took the tooth away while we were sleeping and left some money under our pillow. I wanted to find out.So I think it was a good thing when I lost another tooth. The plan was to stay up all night and ask the tooth fairy when she showed up.That night I lay in my bed, feeling sleepy as the night went on. Moments later, I felt that someone was close to me. Through my half-opened , I didn’t see her face, but I knew it was the tooth fairy. I watched her run out of my room. She was wearing a green dress. After she left, I immediately felt under my pillow. There were two coins under it. I hadn’t felt my pillow move. I wondered if she used magic.As I got older, I learned from my teachers that the tooth fairy didn’t exist. It was just a mythical figure(神话人物) of early childhood. I kind of thought it was , but how could I see the tooth fairy fly that night?Then one night my mom came into my room to check on me. The moonlight was bright that night and it shone my window right on her shiny green nightdress.. Right then I knew deep down that the tooth fairy was exactly my mom.53.As a young girl, the author _________.A.was afraid of the tooth fairyB.was interested in the tooth fairyC.knew where the tooth fairyD.doubted if the tooth fairy existed54.The author thought it was a good thing for her to lose another tooth because she _______.A.could get some coinsB.disliked her baby teethC.wanted to help her mother solve a mysteryD.believed the tooth fairy would come again55.When the author felt someone was close to her, she _____________A.thought her mother had comeB.believed she was in a dreamC.was only half awakeD.was unable to sleep56.What did the author know in the end?A.There was no tooth fairy in the real world at all.B.Her mother believed that the tooth fairy really existed.C.The coins under her pillow were put by the tooth fairy.D.Her mother’s nightdress was similar to the tooth fairy’s.EAn eight-year-old child heard her parents talking about her little brother. All she knew was that he was very sick and only a very expensive operation could save him now. They were a poor family and no one would lend them the money.When she heard her daddy say to her tearful mothe r, “Only a miracle can save him now,” the little girl went to her bedroom and pulled her money from its hiding place and counted it carefully. Then, she hurried to a drugstore with the money in her hand. “And what do you want?” asked the salesman. “It’s for my little brother,” the girl answered. “He’s really, really sick and I want to buy a miracle.” “Pardon?” said the salesman. “My brother Andrew has something bad growing inside his head and my daddy says only a miracle can save him. So how much does a mi racle cost?” “We don’t sell a miracle here, child. I’m sorry,” the salesman said with a smile. “Listen, if it isn’t enough, I can try and get some more. Just tell me how much it costs.”A well-dressed man heard it and asked, “What kind of a miracle doe s your brother need? ”“I don’t know,” she answered with her eyes full of tears. “He’s really sick and mum says he needs an operation.

They were a loving couple and the boy was the apple of their eye. When the boy was around four years old, one day the father was very tired after work so he asked his wife to pick up their son. The mother, who was very busy in the kitchen, totally forgot about it.Later the boy lost his way on the street. When the son was found missing, the mother hurried to look for him, but she did n’t find him. The mother felt very sad and didn’t know how to face her husband.When the father went to the police station after hearing that the son was missing, he lookedat his wife and said just four words. What do you think the four words were? The husband just said "I love you, darling."The son was missing. If she had picked him up earlier, this would not have happened. There is no point in blaming (责备) anyone. His wife had also lost her only child. What his wife needed at that moment was comfort and understanding from her husband. That is what the husband gave his wife. Several weeks later, with the help of the police, the couple finally found their lost son. The family's relationship became stronger over that time.Sometimes we spend lots of time asking who is to blame. We miss many chances to give each other support and let each other feel the warmth of human relationships. Get rid of all your unwillingness to forgive, selfishness, and fears and you will find the world is much more wonderful.21.What is the meaning of the underlined phrase “the apple of their eye”A.A person who always has a sweet smile in their opinion.B.A person who is as pretty as an apple in their opinion.C.A person who is loved more than anyone else in their opinion.D.A person who looks like an apple in their opinion.22.Why didn't the father pick the boy up himself?A.He was very lazy.B.He thought the mother had picked him up.C.He forgot to pick him up.D.He was too tired to do it.23.What can we learn from this passage?A.Be careful in everything you do.B.Love is the most important thing.C.Learn to forgive others.D.Everyone can make mistakes.24.What do you think of the husband?A.Warm-hearted.B.Careful.C.Hard-working.D.Broad-minded.BToday，people all over the world are moving out of small villages in the country to go and live in big，noisy cities. They are moving from the peaceful hills，mountains，fields，rivers and streams of the countryside to the busy world of streets，buildings，traffic and crowds. This movement from rural areas to urban_areas has been going on for over two hundred years.In many countries，the main reason why people come to live in towns and cities is work. After one or two large factories have been built in or near a town，people come to find work，and soon an industrial area begins to grow. There is usually a residential area nearby，where the factory workers can live. The families of these workers need schools，hospitals and shops，so more people come to live in the area to provide these services and a city grows.In every major city in the world，there is a business district where the big companies have their main offices. In the United States，this area is usually in the city centre. It is here that you can see the huge skyscraper office blocks. The people who work here often travel a long way to work each day. Many of them live in the suburbs of the city，far away from the industrial area and the city centre. Some suburbs are very pleasant，with nice houses and big gardens. There are usually parks for children to play in and large department stores where you can buy all you need.But what is the future of the big cities? Will they continue to get bigger? Perhaps not. Some major cities have actually become smaller in the last ten years，and it is quite possible that one day we will see people moving out of the major cities and back into smaller towns and villages.25.We can easily know that the underlined phrase “urban areas” means________.A.areas of the countrysideB.areas of a town or cityC.areas near the countrysideD.areas near a town or city26.Why do people move to live in cities or towns?A.Because they can live more comfortably there.B.Because they prefer a noisy life to a peaceful life.C.Because they want to find work.D.Because they are sure of having a better life there.27.In a residential area，you can see________.A.rows of houses，schools and shopsB.many offices and factoriesC.a lot of factories and farmsD.many houses with offices and factories28.In the United States many people work in the centre of a big city________.A.while living on the faraway edge of the cityB.and live thereC.but live in another cityD.but live far away out of the cityCAfter numerous warnings over the years, you thought coffee probably had a negative effect on your health. Perhaps the drink is not so bad after all.The new study, conducted by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), has been published and suggests that coffee does not have a harmful effect on your health. Researchers suggest, based on data examined, older adults who drink a lot of coffee, have a lower risk of death when compared to their non-drinking coffee peers.The team of researchers conducting the study analyzed data on 400,000 U. S. men and women, aged 50 to 71 years; the individuals had participated in the NIH-AARP Diet and Health Study. This study started in 1995-1996 and was tracked until the day a participant passed away, or Dec. 31, 2008.According to a press release on the report, researchers shared that coffee drinkers are “less likely to die from heart disease, respiratory disease, stroke, injuries and accidents, diabetes, and infections, although the relationship was not seen for cancer.”Results indicated participants that drank three or more cups of coffee a day reduced their risk ofdeath by 10 percent. Based on the findings that both caffeinated and non-caffeinated coffee found similar results, researchers are thinking caffeine is not the protective ingredient(原料), although which ingredient in coffee might be, they are not sure.Researchers indicate that despite these observational findings, they caution（警告）it is not clear whether or not drinking coffee actually extends life expectancy.“Coffee is one of the most widely drunk drinks in America, but the relationship between coffee consumption and risk of death has been unclear. We found coffee consumption to be associated with lower risk of death overall, and of death from a number of different ca uses,” said Neal Freedman, Ph. D., Division of Cancer Epidemiology and Genetics, NCI.“Although we cannot infer a relationship between coffee drinking and lower risk of death, we believe these results do provide some comfort that coffee drinking does not adversely（不利地）affect health,” Freedman said.Dr. Cheryl Williams, a registered dietician, told ABC News, “Overall, more research needs to be done to truly understand the ingredients in coffee and their biological activity and effect on health,” said Will iams.29.The passage is mainly about __________.A.medical benefits of coffeeB.the importance of drinking coffeeC.coffee’s negative effects on healthD.new study results on coffee30.The findings show that __________.A.people who often drink coffee are more likely to get cancer.B.people rely heavily on coffee drinking and that proves to be a problemC.drinking coffee can help reduce the risk of death from some diseasesD.caffeine is the very ingredient which protects people from disease.31.W hat can we infer from William’s words?A.People should take advantages of drinking coffee.B.People should carry out more related and effective studies.C.People should drink more caffeinated coffee.D.People should analyze the cause of human death.32.The author develops the text mainly byA.providing typical examplesparing opinions from different fieldsC.presenting a cause and analyzing its effectsD.showing scientific data and informationDGONE WITH THE WINDAuther: Margaret Mitchell¥25 (in bookstore) ¥18 (online)Gone With the Wind is a best-seller, which tells a story that happened in the American Civil War.

However, is it really necessary for them to have phones at school? Here are the pros and cons.ProsThey can get in touch when necessary. The main benefit of having a phone is that your child can get in touch with you whenever you need to. (36) .They can call ring the emergency services if necessary.
