AA young queen was given a magic box by a great wizard. The box would bring happiness to the whole country whenever it was opened in a place full of the spirit of generosity(慷慨).The queen traveled all over the country, looking for the most generous people. When she had collected them all, she opened the magic box. However, noting special happened. How disappointed she felt!Until one day when returning to her palace, the queen saw a poor little boy begging. She would like to give the boy some money, but she didn't have any with her. So the boy asked her if she could give him the old box. Then he could sell it for alittle money. At first the queen hesitated，because she had been told the box was magic. But on seeing how poor the boy was, she gave it to him. The boy took the box and opened it.Immediately, all the most wonderful things one could imagine started flying out of the box, with the sound of singing：“Why look for it in others? Goodness always starts in yourself.”While enjoying all the wonders of the magic box, the queen learned to set an example to others, and she became the best queen ever in history.21．The queen traveled all over her country to ________.A．have a great timeB．look for the most generous peopleC．look for the poor little boyD．show off the magic box to people22．All the most wonderful things could happen when the boy opened the box because ________.A．the boy was a beggar and he was poorB．the queen didn't have any moneyC．the queen had the spirit of generosityD．the boy wanted to sell it for money23．From the story we can learn that ________.A．queens should be kindB．wizards were very greatC．only poor people could own the boxD．people should be generous24．Which of the following is WRONG according to the passage?A．The queen was disappointed at the box at first.B．The queen saw the wonders of the box.C．The boy was not sent to the queen by the wizard.D．The boy and the wizard were good friends.BSteve and Yaser first met in their chemistry class at an American university.Yaser was an international student from Jordan. He wanted to learn more about American culture and hoped that he and Steve would become good friends. At first, Steve seemed very friendly. He always greeted Yaser warmly before class. Sometimes he offered to study with Yaser. He even invited Yaser to lunch with him. But after the term was over, Steve seemed distant (疏远的). The two former classmates didn't see each other very often at school. One day Yaser decided to call Steve. Steve didn't seem very interested in talking to him. Yaser was hurt by Steve's change of attitude. “Steve said we were friends,” Yaser complained (抱怨), “and I tho ught friends were friends for ever.” Yaser is a little confused.As a foreigner, he doesn't understand the way Americans view friendship. Americans use the word “friend” in a very general way. They may call both casual acquaintances and close companions “friends”. These friendships are based on common interests. When the shared activity ends, the friendship may fade(逐渐消失). Now as Steve and Yaser are no longer classmates, their “friendship” has changed. In some cultures friendship means a strong lifelong bond between two people. In these cultures friendships develop slowly, since they are built to last. American society is one of rapid change. Studies show that one out of five American families moves every year. American friendships develop quickly, and they may change just quickly as well. People from the United States may at first seem friendly. Americans often chat easily with strangers. But American friendliness is not always an offer of true friendship. After an experience like Yaser's people who've been in this country for only a few months may consider Americans to be fickle (易变的). Learning how Americans view friendship can help non-Americans avoid misunderstandings. It can also help them make friends in the American way.25. According to the passage, ________ made Yaser a little confused.A. Steve's inviting him to dinnerB. Steve's studying with himC. Steve's cold attitudeD. Steve's misunderstanding him26.

We can learn from the passage that ________.A. Americans use the word “friend” in a very special way and like to develop a close friendshipB. American friendliness is always an offer of true friendship and is of great valueC. Americans think the friendship will last for ever, even though the shared activity endsD. Americans always base their friendships with others on common interests28. Why do American friendships develop and change so quickly ?A. Americans may not only call casual acquaintances but close companions “friends”．B. American society is one of rapid change, and the families move frequently.C. Americans often seem friendly, and chat easily with strangers at first.D. Americans think friendship means a strong lifelong relationship between two people.CBad teeth can be painful. They can even be deadly, as bad teeth can give out bacteria (细菌) into the blood system. Those bacteria can increase the chances of a heart disease and make other diseases worse. And adults are not the only ones at risk. For example, in 2008, a boy named Bob Clark died when bacteria from a bad tooth reached his brain. The doctor said it might have been prevented (防止) if he had received the dental care(牙齿护理). He was only twelve years old.In fact good dental care starts at birth. Mothers’ milk is the best food for babies and it does good to the healthy development of teeth. Mothers’ milk can help slow bacterial growth in the mouth. A baby’s mouth and early teeth should be cleaned after each feed, using a cloth with a little warm water. Do the same if a baby is fed with a bottle. When baby teeth begin to appear, you can clean them with a wet toothbrush. Experts say it is important to find soft toothbrushes made especially for babies and to use them very gently when children have full teeth.The use of fluoride (氟化物) to protect teeth is common in many parts of theworld. For example, it is often added to drinking water supplies. The fluoride mixes with the hard surface of teeth to help prevent holes from forming. But young children often eat some toothpaste (牙膏) when they brush teeth. The American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry notes that swallowing (吞咽) fluoridated toothpaste can cause problems. So young children should be carefully supervised by adults when they brush their teeth. Once finding children swallow some toothpaste, adults should let them drink more water and try to make them throw up what is in the stomach. Go to see a doctor if it is necessary! It is commonly believed that we should brush teeth twice a day, that is, once after getting up and once before going to bed. However, experts say the times we brush our teeth should be decided by how many meals we have. And the best time to brush our teeth is within five minutes after the meal.29. The passage is mainly about ____.A. reasons that cause children to form bad teethB. the time when adults should protect teethC. methods of preventing bad teeth from formingD. proper ways of using fluoridated toothpaste30. From the passage we can learn ____.A. only children can develop bad teethB. bad teeth often hurt children’s brainC. Bob Clark didn’t get dental care in timeD. bad teeth are dangerous and hard to deal with31. Children’s teeth should be given dental care ____.A. as soon as they were bornB. when they have full teethC. after they have had bad teethD. as soon as their teeth appear32. The underlined word “supervised” in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by ____.A. taughtB. watchedC. fedD. trainedDVery few people look forward to and enjoy exams. That doesn’t have to mean that you should be afraid of them, though. The following tips will help you get through that terrible exam period.Here are eight steps to help you during exams：1．Make sure you know how much time you will have in the exam and how many questions there will be.Then you can divide your time among the questions to make sure they all get answered.2．When you’re doing an ex am that involves（涉及）long answers，it is a good idea to leave some space at the end of the answer so that you add any extra comments that might come to mind when you reread your paper.3．Don’t spend all of your time only on questions that you know answers to because you will get aworse mark for answering some questions very well and some not at all.4．It is worth taking a little extra time to make sure that your handwriting is neat.The examiner will be able to read it！Try to avoid（避免）spelling mistakes too!5．The more prepared you are，the more likely you are to succeed.6．Keep calm.

Researchers in the United States studied 100 000 women during an eight year period. All of the women were fifty years of age or older.The women were asked questions that measured their beliefs or ideas about the future. The researchers attempted to identify each woman's personality eight years after gathering the information.The study found that hopeful individuals were fourteen percent less likely than other women to have died of any cause. The hopeful women were also thirty percent less likely to have died of heart disease after eight years.Hilary Tindle from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine in Pennsylvania was the lead author of the report. She said the study confirmed earlier research that linked optimistic feelings to longer life.The researchers also gathered information about people's education, financial earnings, physical activity and use of alcohol or cigarettes. Independent of those things, the findings still showed that optimists had less chance of dying during the eight-year period.Some women who answered the questions were found to be hostile(敌对的), or highly untrusting of others. These women were sixteen percent more likely to die than the others. They also were twenty three percent more likely to die of cancer. The study also found that women who were not optimistic were more likely to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetes(糖尿病). They were also more likely not to exercise.Professor Tindte says the study did not confirm whether optimism leads to healthier choices, or if it actually affects a person's physical health. She also says the study does not prove that negative emotions or distrust lead to bad health effects andshorter life. Yet there does appear to be a link that calls for more research.36．Which of the following statements about the new study is NOT right?A．It took researchers eight years to carry out the study.B．Researchers asked the women about their beliefs or ideas about the future.C．Researchers of the study were women of fifty years old or older.D．The women's personality was identified after eight years.37．The study found that women who were optimistic________.A．were thirty percent less likely to have died from any cause than other women B．had less chance of dying from heart disease after eight yearsC．were more likely to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetesD．were mostly hostile or highly untrusting of others38．According to the study, women who were not hopeful_____ ___.A. were sixty percent more likely to die than the othersB. were twenty-three percent less likely to die of cancerC. tended to smoke and have high blood pressure or diabetesD. were more likely to take exercise39．We can learn from the passage that________.A．researchers hadn't known the link between optimistic feelings and longer life earlierB．optimistic people are sure to lead a healthier lifeC．negative emotions or distrust actually affect a person's physical healthD．whether there is a link between emotions and life span calls for more research 40．What's the best title of this passage?A. Findings from a New StudyB. Hopeful Individuals Live LongerC. Emotions and Physical HealthD. Happy Thoughts Mean Being Healthy?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。
