二、完形填空（本大题共10分，每小题1分）
Do you want to be successful in everything you do? If so, then how? Here is an example.
There was a famer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the 1 and won the first prize.
One year a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something 2 about how he grew it. The farmer 3 his seed(做种子的) corn to his neighbours.
“How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbours?” the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the 4 with you each year.”
“Why, sir,” said the farmer, “didn’t you know? The wind picks up pollen(花粉)from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbours grow bad corn, cross-pollination(异花传粉) will influence the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must 5 my neighbours to grow good corn.”
The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn can’t improve unless his neighbours’corn improves.
As a great man says, “We make a living by what we 6 ; we make a life by what we give.” We can’t 7 without food, clothes, and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, 8 by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us 9 from other animals. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find 10 in their life.

( ) 10. A. hope B. success C. friendship D. Happiness
三、阅读理解（本大题共20分，每小题2分）
A
“Did you go skating a lot last year?” I asked. Jen shook her head and looked at me. Finally she said, “On Thanksgiving, Mom and I always went to visit some friends who lived on a farm. I especially loved seeing their big turkeys.”
Until then, I didn’t think about how Jen felt. She had a new stepfather (继父) and stepbrother, and had a new town and home, too. Jen and her mom used to live near a lake where Dad and I went every summer, and she had to move up north with us. She had more changes than me.
Jen seemed sad, so I was busy thinking of some ways to cheer her up on Thanksgiving. I told her my plan and she was excited. First we made a huge snowball, and then a small snowball. Then we built a wall behind the big snowball as a tail. Jen mixed some food coloring with water, saying, “We can spray (喷) colors on the tail.” Our snow turkey had a red, blue, green, and yellow tail. We were so busy that we didn’t notice our parents come outside. Dad found a hat for the snow turkey, and Mom wrapped her scarf around its neck.
“Thanks for cheering Jen up,”Mom said. “You’re a good brother, and you always come up with great ideas.” A happy feeling spread through me. I began to understand how much she cared about everyone in our new family.
( )1. What did Jen do on Thanksgiving in the past?
A. She went skating with her friends.
B. She went to the farm with her mother.
C. She stayed at home with her mother.
D. She made snow turkeys with her mother.
( )2. What can we learn from the second paragraph?
A. Jen lived near a lake in the past.
B. The writer was Jen’s stepfather.
C. Jen moved up north for studying.
D. The writer just moved out of his old house.
( )3. What can we infer (推断) from the underlined sentence?
A. Jen’s stepmother was not friendly to the writer.
B. Jen didn’t feel happy after moving here.
C. Jen’s mother did a lot to make Jen happy.
D. The writer felt happy because his stepmother liked him.
B
Mobile phones help us easily find people anywhere at any time. A mobile phone can include many things, such as games, music and Internet access(互联网接入). Today, 4.6 billion people around the world have mobile phones, according to CBS News.
However, mobile phones may cause cancer, according to the World Health Organization. In a 2010 study, people who used a mobile phone for 10 years or more were more than two times as likely to get brain cancer, according to CNN.
“I think it is a good idea to give the public some kind of warning that long-term exposure(暴露) to radiation (辐射) from your mobile phone could possibly cause cancer,”told Dr Henry Lai. Lai is a scientist of bioengineering(生物工程) at the University(大学) of Washington who has studied radiation for more than 30 years.
These suggestions may help you reduce your risk of cancer:
1. Use a headset(耳机) or speaker
Headsets give out much less radiation than phones. Some headsets give out low-level radiation. However, you should take it off your ear when you’re not talking to anyone. Using your phone with a speaker will also make it safer.
2. Listen more, talk less
Your phone gives out radiation when you talk or text, but not when you’re listening or getting messages. Listening more and talking less can lower the risk of cancer.
3. Hold the phone away from your body
Hold the phone away from your body when you’re talking, not against your ear. Also, don’t keep it in your pocket.
4. Choose texting over talking
Phones give out less radiation to send texts than to carry a person’s voice. Texting also keeps radiation away from your head.
5. Poor signal? Stay off the phone
A poor signal means that the phone needs to give out more radiation to work. Make and take calls when your phone has a strong signal.
( )4. The study from 2010 showed that _________.
A. people should use mobile phones for no more than 10 years
B. people who don’t use mobile phones will not get brain cancer
C. the longer people use mobile phones, the more likely they are to get brain cancer
D. the more mobile phones people have, the more likely they are to get brain cancer
( )5. Which is NOT true about the suggestions mentioned in the passage?
A. Some headsets don’t give out radiation.
B. It’s not good to carry mobile phones in pockets.
C. Texting is better than making phone calls.
D. Don’t make calls when the signal is weak.
( )6. The passage mainly talks about _________.
A. the development and advantages of mobile phones
B. the reason why mobile phone radiation causes cancer
C. the best ways to use mobile phones to communicate
D. how to protect ourselves from mobile phone radiation
C
One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn（谷仓），they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole to come out. A while later they indeed saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had escaped. But just as they began to clean up, they saw two mice squeezing（挤）out at the mouth of the hole. With some efforts, the mice finally got out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away at once. Instead, one chased after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other.
Everyone was puzzled, so they stepped nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind and could not see anything, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite on his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to escape.
After seeing what happened, everyone was speechless and lost in thought. During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to chat about what happened to the two mice.
One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”The others thought for a while and said: “That was why!” A smart French said: “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.” Again the others thought for a while, and all felt it made sense.
A Japanese said,“I think the two mice was that of mother and son.” Once again the others thought for a while, and felt this was more reasonable. So they expressed agreement another time.
At that moment, one Chinese asked: “Why did those two mice have to have a certain relationship?”Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese and kept speechless. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads. In fact, the true love is not built on friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.
( )7. The two mice didn’t run away at once because _______.
A. one was biting the other
B. the mouth of the hole was too small
C. they were not afraid of smoke
D. one was trying to help the blind one
( )8. Why did they lower their heads according to the passage？
A. They did not dare to answer.
B. They had mistaken the relationship of the mice.
C. They regretted driving a poor blind mouse away.
D. They did not express themselves much better.
( )9. It is clear that _______.
A. all the mice came out of the hole easily
B. each of the people understood the relationship differently
C. the people wanted to kill the mice with smoke
D. the people knew one of the mice was blind at first sight
( )10. The best title for the passage is “________________”.
A. TWO LOVEL Y MICE
B. HELP PRODUCES LOVE
C. FRIENDS IN NEED
D. LOVE IS ALL
