One day, when I was going to check in at an airport, I noticed there was a big problem. The counter person was telling everyone that all the flights were canceled and they would not be able to fly. And it was suggested that a bus should be provided to take us to Seattle. Everyone was worried, as we only had an hour and a half to make the connecting flight, and the bus was not even at the airport yet.
Finally, the bus pulled up, and the driver said, “They just pulled me out of bed after an all-night shift (夜班), and they expected me to get you to Seattle in time to catch your flight. Good luck!”
Needless to say, everyone was in a really bad mood. I was loading my equipment into the bus and had slung (吊) my banjo over my back when the bus driver said, “What? Are you going to play that in my bus?” “Well, really did not plan on it.” I replied. “I was only kidding.” said the driver. But I started thinking about it, and I pulled out the banjo. A worried, angry woman said, “Well, what if I don’t like it?” “Then tell me and I will stop.” I replied.
We drove off, and the tension (紧张) inside the bus was horrendous! Then I started playing the old standard Blue Skies. In a few minutes, I noticed everyone was singing along. I started to sing, too, and before long, the whole bus burst into song.
One song led to another, and everyone seemed to have a request. “Do you know You are My Sunshine?” Eve ryone laughed and sang, with food passed around the bus, and before long, the airport was in sight.
The bus driver called, “We made it! We never would have done it without the help of the banjo player.” Shouts of approval (赞成) rang through the bus. People exchanged addresses and invitations to visit, and a few exchanged hugs. The driver said to me, ‘This was the best ride I ever had. Thanks for your music.”
A few weeks later, my mailbox was filled with letters from my new friends. Their letters reminded me of how, by reaching out with a song or a bit of friendship, you could turn a very tense situation into a peaceful experience—a magical, musical bus ride.

Sweetest Day is always the third Saturday in October. This holiday is much more important in some regions than others (Detroit, Cleveland and Buffalo being the biggest Sweetest Day cities). It is a holiday that is gaining in popularity every year throughout the country.
Sweetest Day is celebrated on the third Saturday in October as a day to make someone happy. It is an occasion which offers all of us an opportunity to remember not only the sick, aged, and orphaned, but also friends, relatives and associates whose helpfulness and kindness we have enjoyed.
Over 60 years ago, a Cleveland man, believing that the city’s orphans and shut-ins too often felt forgotten and neglected (忽略), thought of the idea of showing them that they were remembered. He did this through the distribution (分发) of small gifts. With the help of his friends and neighbors, he distributed these small remembrances on a Saturday in October. During the years that followed, other Clevelanders began to participate in the celebration ceremony, which came to be called “Sweetest Day”. In time, the Sweetest Day idea of spreading cheer to the poor was broadened to include everyone, and became an occasion for remembering others with a kind act or a small remembrance. And soon the idea spread to other cities all over the country.
29. According to the passage, we can learn that .
A. Sweetest Day is celebrated in different ways in different cities
B. some cities value Sweetest Day much more than other cities
C. Sweetest Day is a traditional religious festival
D. Sweetest Day is celebrated first in Detroit
30. People celebrate Sweetest Day in order to .
A. honor their noble ancestors (祖先)
B. strengthen their family connection
C. show their belief in religion
D. show their care for others
31. The underlined wor d “remembrance” refers to “” in the passage.
A. present
B. memory
C. party
D. ceremony
D
More and more people read an iPad in bed, reserved as a place for sleep, before they go to sleep.
Charles, a professor from Harvard Medical School and his colleagues got a small group of people for an experiment. For five days in a row, the people read either a paper book or an iPad for four hours before sleeps. Their sleep patterns were monitored all night. Before and after each trial period, the people took hourly blood tests to paint a day-long picture of just how much melatonin (褪黑激素) was in their blood at any given time.
When the people read on the iPad as compared to the paper books, they reported feeling less sleepy at night and less active the following morning. People also took longer to fall asleep on the iPad nights, and the blood tests showed that their melatonin secretion (分泌) was delayed by an hour and a half.
The researchers conclude in today’s journal article that because of the rise of e-readers and the increasingly widespread use of e-things among children and teenagers, more research into the long-term consequences of these devices on health and safety is urgently needed. Charles and his colleagues go on, in the research paper, to note “Reading an iPad in bed may increase cancer risk.”
However, software has been developed that can reduce some of the blue light from the screens of phones and computers according to time of day, and there are also glasses that are made to filter (过滤) short wavelengths. While they seem like a logical solution for the nighttime tech users, it needs more research.
32. In Charles’ experiment, the group of people were asked to .
A. sit in a row and receive the strict tests
B. have their sleep patterns observed all night
C. read a paper book and an iPad at the same time
D. have their blood tested per hour during the trial.
33. The third paragraph tells us the iPad readers were likely to .
A. feel less sleepy and tired in the day
B. fall asleep more easily after reading
C. become less energetic the next morning
D. have a lot more melatonin secretion
34. The special software recently developed can .
A. remove the blue light from your devices completely
B. help prevent eyes being harmed by short wavelength
C. weaken the harm done by doing nighttime e-reading
D. be used in all the e-things widely and safely
35. Which of the following can be best served as the title of the passage?
A. No E-reading in Bed Before Sleep
B. New Software for Night E-readers
C. Wrong Behaviors Before Bedtime
D. No Games on iPad in Bed
第二节七选五（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。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

When I was a student, requested by the teacher, we had to watch hours and hours of really old movies like “Singing in the Rain”, “Mary Poppins” to learn English. If you don’t know these films, you’re welcome to check them up-they’re really old! 36 And because of that, I highly recommend you choose movies you like. To do this, you can go to a website called Rotten Tomatoes, which is a website with many great critics and reviews (评论) on many tens of thousands of movies.
37 For example, for beginners in English, I usually recommend you learn English through animated cartoons. The main reason is that the English is usually very friendly, nice and easy to understand. 38 Shakespearian English (which is English used many centuries ago) is very difficult to understand on screen, even for advanced (髙级的) English learners.
Bring your dictionary. Maybe I’ll add point 3.5 too-choose a film with subtitles! So when you hear a word you’re interested in, check it up! Because you go through the trouble to understand it, you may be able to remember that word for a long time too!
Repeat short phrases! 39 For example, some sh ort phrases, or slang like, “hell yeah!”, or “sure thing”, or “you betcha”, are commonly used in English. If you like how it sounds, it really helps to repeat it! After saying it out loud a while, you will be able to remember it for a longer time! 40
A. Sometimes, you might hear something cool in the movie.
B. Most people use it just to watch movies, but I use it a little differently.
C. This way, you already know the story from the first time you watched it.
D. I didn’t exactly hate them, but I didn’t feel excited at all when watching these films.
E. However, if you try to watch something like “Romeo and Juliet’’, you will be very
confused.
F. Select a movie that matches your current English level.
G. It’s a great and enjoyable exercise-one of my personal favorites.

Dear Peter,
Reading your letter, I know you are in two minds about whether to apply for a job in the animal shelter or go on a trip abroad during the winter vacation. I am writing to share my advice with you.
I know the reason why you can’t make up your mind is that both things are wha t you have been dreaming of. Then why not do both? On the one hand, by working in the animal shelter, not only can you get close to lovely animals and make friends with them, but also you can earn some money, which can benefit your budget. On the other hand, travelling abroad, chances are that you will have a relaxing and romantic journey, experiencing exotic cultures, meeting interesting people, and meanwhile, broadening your horizons.
So the only thing to take into account now is how to arrange your time. And what are you waiting for? Just get down to making a good plan for it! To conclude, however you choose to spend your vacation, do enjoy yourself!
Best wishes.
Yours truly,
Li Hua。
