A year ago, my friend and I went to a nearby town to attend a wedding. After the reception, we were waiting for a public tran sport bus to go back home. It was nine o'clock at night, and al though many buses passed, none stopped.
We waited for an hour and were getting desperate. We would n't be able to stay overnight because it was a weekday, and w e both needed to work the next day. It was almost 10 p.m. wh en a family who had attended the same wedding passed by in their car. Probably sensing that we were waiting for some me ans of transport, they stopped and gave us a lift.

When we reached my hometown, the family dropped us at the nearest point from where we could catch a shared taxi to get back to the spot where we had parked our bike. On the way, a
laborer（工
人） stopped the taxi. The driver saw his clothes and asked hi m whether he had money to pay the fare（车费）.
The laborer shook his head and said, "No". On hearing this, th e driver refused to take him. I remembered my own plight a fe w minutes earlier, and I told the driver to allow him to sit with us, as I would pay his fare. What an immediate opportunity to pass on the family's act of kindness!

Today, we are told, children don’t spend enough time in the fr esh air. Many of them are addicted to screen on a computer o r a TV---
they seem to be living in a virtual world. They have lost touch with nature.
But now 400 organizations in the , from playgroups to the Nati onal Health Service, are encouraging children to have some “wild time”. They want kids to swap at least 30 minutes of watc hing TV or playing computer games for time playing outside. Activities such as building dens, climbing trees, and playing hi de and seek are just some of the things kids can do. Even if t hey live in a city, they can go on adventures in the garden or t he park.
Children often need a helping hand from mom and dad. They
need to be shown what to do and where to go. Andy Simpson from National Health Service says, “We want parents to see what this magical wonder product does for their kids’ develop ment, independence and creativity, by giving wild time a go”.
So despite the complicated world that young people grow up i n now, it seems that going back to basics and experiencing “n ature’s playground” is what modern children need. David Bon
d from Project Wild Thing says, “W
e need to make more spac
e for wild time in children’s daily routine, freeing this generatio n o
f kids to have the sort of experiences that many of us took for granted”.
This might sound a bit old fashioned to you or maybe, like me, it’s made you think about sticking on your boots, getting outd oors and reliving your childhood. There is no age limit on enjo ying yourself!
25. According to Andy Simpson, we know that_____________.
A. wild time is beneficial to children
B. wild time is h ard to design
C. parents know the importance of wild time
D. parents like keeping their children indoors.
26. Children are encouraged to do the following activities exc
ept____________.
A. building dens
B. watching TV

D. climbing trees
27. What is the best title of the text?

For an entire day, forget about the clock. Eat when you’re hun gry and sleep when you’re tired. What do you think will happe n?
You may be surprised to find that your day is much like most other days. You’ll probably get hungry when you normally eat and tired when you normally sleep. Even though you don’t kn ow what time it is, your body does.
These patterns of daily life are called circadian rhythms（生理节
奏）, and they are more than just habits. Inside our bodies ar e several clocklike systems that follow a roughly 24-
hour cycle. Throughout the day and night, our inner clocks dir ect changes in temperature, body chemicals, hunger, sleepin ess and more.
Everyone’s rhythms are different, which is why you might like
to stay up late while your sister always wants to go to bed earl y. But on the whole, everyone is programmed to feel tired at n ight and energetic during the day.
Learning about our body clocks may help scientists understan d why problems arise when we act out of step with our circadi an rhythms. For example, traveling across time zones can ma ke people wake up in the middle of the night. Regularly stayin g up late can make kids do worse in tests.
“There is a growing sense that when we eat and when we sle ep are important parts of how healthy we are,” says Steven S hea, director of the Sleep Disorders Program at Brigham and Women’s Hospital in . One way to learn about how our body c locks tick is to mess them up and see what happens. That’s w hat neurologist（神经病学家）
Frank Scheer and his workmates did in a recent study. Staying up night after night, their studies suggest, could make kids extra hungry and more likely to gain weight. And regularl y sleeping too little, Scheer says, may be one cause of the rec ent increase in childhood obesity.
28. What will happen if you forget about the clock according t o the passage?
A. Your body will not know what time it is. B . You will feel u pset.
C. You will behave normally.
D. You will probably get hungry more easily.
29. Mike feels energetic at 12 midnight while Tom feels sleep y. What advice would be given by the writer?
A. Both should see a doctor.
B. Tom should see a d octor.
C. Mike should have a watch.
D. Both should take it easy.
30. How do Frank Scheer and his workmates study body cloc ks?
A. By studying people traveling across time zones.
B. By asking questions and collecting answers.
C. By seeing what happens when they are messed up.
D. By programming people with man-made clocks.
31. What will the writer most probably talk about next?
A. What circadian rhythms are.
B. Medicines that can keep people from putting on weight.
C. Why it is important to have a normal body clock.
D. Other examples of what people will do when their body clo cks go wrong.

第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
Do you know how to deal with failure at school? Four steps wi ll help you get the most out of each failure and move on.
36 When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the du ty to improve yourself. Read the teachers’ comments on your test carefully.
Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed.
37 Maybe you didn’t have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give you rself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times.
38 Sometimes the failure isn’t because of something you did or didn’t do; it is someone else’s fault. But don’t spend tim
e blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals. 39 Review the situation to see what your choices are. There is a different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding t o follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.
Keep trying again. Successful people are different because th ey choose their next steps instead of just reacting to feelings. If a goal is still important to you, figure out what to do and go after it again. 40
A. If it isn’t, do your best on something else.
B. Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or le arning a new subject.
C. Failure is unavoidable.
D. Actually it was because you were very lazy.
E. Don’t give up easily.
F. No pains, no gains.
G. Remove your bad feelings.

To me, kindness is a chosen lifestyle. In my classroom, I tell my 41 that every day they are offered a choice. They can’t choose what happens to them, but they can choose how they
42 to it. Kindness is a 43 . And it is a lifestyle. It isn’t s omething that we just choose once in a while---
- it is a(n) 44 to live our lives.
My father was hospitalized with leukemia(白血
病) when I was in college. He didn't choose the cancer. 45 , he chose how to react to it. To this day, seventeen years lat er, the nurses 46 write my mother letters. The 47 ? It was because of my father’s kindness to others even when he was 48 against the disease. He made kindness a lifestyle. And I want to be 49 him.

As a high school teacher, I see 56 everywhere. In the hall ways, in the lunchroom, in the locker room, 57 words and g
ossip（流言蜚语） fill the air. So I started a hangtag (标
签) to 58 positive gossip called “third party compliments(称
赞)”. The idea is that you talk about people behind their backs , but do it in a 59 way. In that way, the gossip that gets ba ck to students makes their day instead of getting them down. Our kindness lifestyle leaves a footprint on others, and let us be the movers and kindness-
makers who 60 a better, more beautiful world.

英语中各种颜色的解释
颜色与我们的生活密切相关,尤其是英语中涉及颜色的词组及短语不胜枚举、五花八门,而且不少词语的含义非但与颜色本义无关,有时甚至是风马牛不相关的事,稍有不慎便容易引起这样或那样的误解。

如:
绿色
green在英语中可以表示“嫉妒、眼红”，如：green with envy，green as jealousy，green-eyed monster都是指“十分嫉妒”的意思。

由于美元纸币是绿颜色的，所以green在美国也指代“钱财、钞票、有经济实力”等意义，如：
①In American political elections the candidates that win are u sually the ones who have green power backing them.在美国政治竞选中获胜的候选人通常都是些有财团支持的人物。

⑶在英语中绿色还用来表示没有经验、缺乏训练、知识浅薄等意思，如：
②The new typist is green at her job.刚来的打字员是个生手。

③You cannot expect Mary to do business with such people. S he is only eighteen and as green as grass.你不能指望玛丽同这样的人做生意，她只有十八岁，还毫无经验。

⒉黄色
黄色在英语和汉语中的引申含义差别比较大。

⑴在英语中，yellow可以表示“胆小、卑怯、卑鄙”的意思，例如：a yellow dog 可鄙的人，卑鄙的人；a yellow livered 胆小鬼
① He is too yellow to stand up and fight.他太软弱，不敢起来斗争。

⑵英语中的黄色还用来作为事物的特定颜色，例如，美国有些城市的出租车上标有“yellow”（而不是“taxi”）的字样，代表出租车，因为那里的出租车为黄颜色。

如：
Yellow Pages 黄页（电话号码簿，用黄纸印刷）
Yellow Book 黄皮书（法国等国家的政府报告，用黄封面装帧）
Yellow boy （俗）金币
⒊蓝色
蓝色（blue）在汉语中的引申意义较少，而在英语中blue是一
个含义十分丰富的颜色词。

在翻译同这一颜色有关的表达时，我们应该注意其中的特别含义。

⑴英语的blue常用来喻指人的“情绪低落”、“心情沮丧”、“忧愁苦闷”，如：
① They felt rather blue after the failure in the football match.球赛踢输了，他们感到有些沮丧。

②-She looks blue today. What’s the matter with her?
-She is in holiday blue.
她今天显得闷闷不乐，出了什么事情？
她得了假期忧郁症。

例②中的holiday blue 相当于winter holiday depression，指冬季假期时，人困在家里，感到无聊寂寞时的心情或情绪。

另一个同低落的情绪有关的词组是：a blue Monday（倒霉的星期一），指度过快乐的周末后，星期一又要上学或上班，所以情绪不好。

⑵ blue在英语中有时用来指“黄色的”、“下流的”意思，如：blue talk 下流的言论
blue video 黄色录像
⑶此外，blue在英语中与其它词汇搭配，还有另外的含义，如：
out of blue 意想不到
once in a blue 千载难逢
drink till all’s blue 一醉方休
⒋白色
白色（white）在汉语和英语的联想意义中都有纯洁和清白的意思，但也有一些含义上的不同。

例如，汉民族文化中，白色与死亡、丧事相联系。

但在英语文化中，white表示幸福和纯洁，如新娘在婚礼上穿白色礼服，代表爱情的纯洁和婚姻的贞洁。

英语中的white有时表达的含义，与汉语中的“白色”没有什么关系，如：
a white lie 善意的谎言
the white coffee 牛奶咖啡
white man 善良的人，有教养的人
white-livered 怯懦的
white elephant 昂贵又无用之物
⒌黑色
黑色（black）在英语和汉语两种语言文化中的联系意义大致相同。

例如，黑色是悲哀的颜色，英美人在葬礼上穿黑色服装，中国人在葬礼上戴黑纱。

英语中的Black Friday 指耶稣在复活节前受难的星期五，是悲哀的日子。

⑴ black在英语中还象征气愤和恼怒，如：
black in the face 脸色铁青
to look black at someone 怒目而视
⑵另外，黑色在汉语和英语中都有“阴险”、“邪恶”的含义，不过翻译时不一定用“黑”或“black”的字眼，例如：
黑心 evil mind
黑手 evil backstage manipulator
黑幕 inside story
黑线 a sinister line
black sheep 害群之马
black day 凶日
black future 暗淡的前途
兴趣是最好的老师，希望通过我们的研究，能够不断挖掘出英语学习的乐趣，让乐趣成为老师，寓学于乐。

“知之者不如好知者, 好知者不如乐知者”让同学们摆脱苦学成为乐知者。

在快乐的氛围中学习英语，相信我们的英语学习能力将得到加强。
