One day after school, I went to the teacher's office to see my teacher, but nobody was there. As I was about to leave, I noticed a piece of paper on the floor. I picked it up and saw the words "FINAL-TERM EXAMINATION" at the top.
I put the paper into my school bag secretly and ran out of the room.
After I came back home, I took out the paper quickly. It was the exam paper of my worst subject, History. I felt excited. My heart beat fast. I took out my History book and started working on the answer. I had never answered any questions so seriously.
On the day of the History exam, I went into the exam hall confidently. When the paper was sent to me, I dreamt of getting the highest mark in the whole grade and could not help smiling. "My History teacher always encouraged me to work hard and get better grades, but I let him down time and time again. This time I will give him a big urprise," I thought.
W hen the teacher said we could start,I turned the paper over. To my surprise, all the questions were different. Later I felt nervous. In the end, I almost left the paper undone. After the ex m. I ran to the toilet, took out the paper and carefully read it from the top. Oh! It was last year's exam paper. I read all the questions but I hadn't read the date.

Vanuatu is an island nation in the South Pacific. It is one of the smallest countries in the world. But for those who are interested in adventure and sport, there is a lot to do. Vanuatu’s islands offer visitors two of the most exciting and dangerous activities in the world: volcano（火山）surfing and land diving. Volcano Surfing
On Tanna Island, Mount Yasur rises 300 meters into the sky. Yasur is an active volcano, and it erupts（爆发）almost every day, sometimes several times a day. For centuries, people have climbed this mountain to visit the top. Recently, people have also started climbing Yasur to surf the volcano. In some ways, volcano surfing is like s urfing in the sea, but in other ways it’s very different. Volcano surfers try to escape the eru pting volcano—without getting hit by flying rocks! It’s fast, fun and dangerous—the perfect extreme sport（极限运动）.
Land Diving
Most people are familiar with bungee jumping, but do you know bungee jumping started on Pentecost Island in Vanuatu and is almost fifteen centuries old? The activity, first called land diving, is part of a religious ceremony（宗教仪式）. A man ties tree vines（树藤）to his legs. He then jumps head-first from a high tower to touch the earth with the top of his head—without breaking the vine. Every spring, island natives (men only) still take part in this amazing activity.
29. In Line 2, what does the word “those” mean?
A. People.
B. Animals.
C. Activities.

C. It is a traditional activity in Vanuatu.
D. It came to Vanuatu from another country.

There is an old Chinese proverb that states “One generation pl ants the trees; another gets the shade”， and this is how it should be with mothers and daughters. The relationship between a mother and daughter is sometimes confusing. If close, the relationship can be similar to friendship. However, the mother and daughter relationship has unique characteristics that distinguish it from a friendship. These characteristics include the hierarchy (等级) and unconditional love, which preclude mothers and daughters from being best friends.
Marina, 27 years old, says, “I love sp ending time with my mom, but I wouldn't consider her my best friend. Best friends don't pay for your wedding. Best friends don't remind you how they carried you in their body and gave you life! Best friends don't tell you how wise they are because they have been alive at least 20 years longer than you.” This doesn't mean that the mother and daughter relationship can't be very close and satisfying.
While some adult relationships are still troubled, many find them to be extremely rewarding. This generation of mothers and adult daughters has a lot in common which increases the likelihood of shared companionship. Mothers and daughters have always shared the common experience of being homemakers, responsible for maintaining and passing on family values and traditions. Today contemporary mothers and daughters also share the experience of the workforce and technology, which may bring them even closer together.
Best friends may or may not continue to be best friends, but for better or worse, the mother and daughter relationship is permanent, even if they aren't speaking for some unfortunate reason. The mother and daughter relationship is still closer than any other. There is not an equal relationship. Daughters should not feel responsible for their mothers' emotional well­being. It isn't that the y don't care deeply about their mothers. Its' just that they shouldn't be burdened
with their mother's well being.
The mother and daughter relationship is a relationship that is not replaceable by any other. Mothers never stop being mothers, which includes frequently wanting to protect their daughters and often feeling responsible for their happiness. Mother always “trumps” friends.
32．The underlined word “preclude” in Paragraph 1 probably means “________”．A．differ B．prevent C．benefit D．change
33．Why do many mothers and adult daughters keep a rewarding relationship?
A．Because they have a lot of common interests.
B．Because they have common family values.
C．Because they have no generation gap.
D．Because they keep a constant relationship.
34．What do we know from the passage?
A．The mother and daughter relationship can be replaced by a best friend.
B．A mother's love brings her and her daughter a close friendship.
C．The mother and daughter relationship goes beyond best friends' friendship.
D．Marina has a troubled relationship with her mother.
35．What is the best title for the passage?
A．How to be a good mother and daughter
B．Who is a mother's best friend?
C．A friend in need is a friend indeed
D．Can a mother be a daughter's best friend?
