A
We were driving from Los Angeles to Dallas, running low on gas somewhere in New Mexico and fig ured we’d see a gas station soon enough to fill up．
But that didn’t happen and we realized we wouldn’t make it to the next town．So my daughter made up a sign that read “Low on gas. Can u help?” and held it outside her window in the hope s that a driver in the next lane would notice it and stop．
There weren’t too many vehicles passing us either at the time．It was a lonely stretch of road and about 3:30 pm on a weekday．A suburban was driving along happily in the neighboring lane ahead of us．We caught up with it in the hopes the driver would notice the sign．After a brief expression of confusion on his face，he seemed to have noticed the sign and slowed down to pull over．We pulled over right behind him．He was friendly and was eager to help us．At first he thought we didn’t have enough money to buy gas,
so he offered to buy us gas at the next town Roswell that was about 10 miles away!
When we explained our p redicament of not having enough gas to get to Roswell，he said his farm was about 10 minutes away and they had a gas pump there, so if we could give him 20 minutes, he would head back there, get a can of gas and fill up our tank for us．
We could not believe our good fortune! There not being any cell phone reception for either of us in the area, we had just hoped that whoever stopped to help would be kind enough to call AAA when they got to Roswell and we would just wait it out for them to help us．
We were filled with gratefulness for the kindness of strangers such as this person as we waited for him to return. Sure enough, he was back with the can and quickly filled our tank. He refused to take payment for the gas. Tears flowed, as did our endless appreciation．
56. What is the author’s final destination?
A. Roswell.
B. Dallas.
C. New Mexico.
D. Los Angeles.
57. From the text we may infer that _______.
A. the street was crowded with cars
B. something was wrong with the car
C. the gas of the author's car ran out
D. there was no signal for the mobile phone
58. The underline word “predicament” in Paragraph 5 is closest in meaning to _______.
A. instruction
B. assistance
C. trouble
D. courage
59. Which of the following best describes the old man?
A. Warm-hearted and generous.
B. Honest and confused.
C. Kind and productive.
D. Enthusiastic and serious.
B
Britons may like to complain a lot，but they rarely do so in the moment, explains BBC writer Ruth Margolis．They would rather grumble(发牢骚) afterward．This is because Britons hate to put someone out and cause a scene：Margolis writes：“For instance, I’m much more comfortable just leaving that piece of raw chicken on my plate instead of complaining to restaurant staff．But beware：if this kind of thing happens when you’re dining with an American, they will most likely speak up on your behalf and not understand why you find this ashamed．”
In a BBC blog post comparing cultural differences between the UK and the US, Margolis mentions a
few other things that Americans like to do that are offensive to Britons．
●Not making introductions
Margolis says most Britons dislike this approach because “talking t o strangers without being introduced gives them a stomachache”．Americans rarely introduce a new friend to their friends at parties．Strangers are supposed to introduce themselves．
●“Quite” good
Using “quite”to mean “very”happens a lot in the US．But if you are invited to a dinner party in Britain，don’t describe the meal as “quite good” if you want to express high praise．To Britons’ ears, “quite”detracts from the “good”：the meal was OK but could have been better．
●Money Talk
Americans can talk about money subjects for hours without feeling uncomfortable．For Britons, says Margolis: “talking about how much we make is unthinkable—even less so than discussing our feelings”．
●Over-politeness
“It’s not that I want shop assistants to be actively rude．But neither do I want to expend energy responding to someone who’s been paid to ask: ‘How are you today?’” says Margolis．In the US, it is not unusual to be greeted by a perfect stranger as “honey” or “sweetie”．But Margolis says Britons find put-on friendliness, especially in stores, deeply irritating(使人生气的)．
60. Margolis’s dining experience in Paragraph 1 shows that_______.
A. Britons are particular about foods
B. Britons are not good at complaining
C. Americans usually complain directly
D. Americans complain more than Britons
61. Which of the following might Margolis agree with?
A. Britons enjoy talking about their feelings.
B. Americans introduce themselves at parties.
C. Americans dislike talking to strangers at parties.
D. Britons feel happy if treated like close friends.
62. The underlined phrase“detracts from”in the text probably means “_______”.
A. benefits greatly from
B. increases the quality of
C. reduces the strength of
D. draws attention away from
63. What does the text mainly talk about?
A. How to get on well with westerners.
B. How to start conversations with Britons.
C. Ruth Margolis’s tips on public behavior.
D. Some American habits that annoy Britons.

Every day we are exposed to images, videos, music and news. In this age of visual and aural hyper-stimulation, the medium of radio is making a great comeback.
“We’re at the beginning of a golden age of audio,” said US-based podcaster Alex Blumberg in an article in The Sydney Morning Herald. In the last month alone, 15 percent of US adults listened to a radio podcast (播客). These statistics, released by Edison Research, show the successful evolution of traditional radio broadcasts to the
present day’s digital podcast format. The term “podcast” was invented in 2004, but the trend only started gaining mainstream popularity in recent years. With the sharp increase in consumer demand for smart phones and tablets, podcast sales have jumped.
The appeal of the podcast partly lies in its multiplatform delivery and on-demand capabilities (功能). You can listen during those extra minutes of the day when you’re walking to the shops, waiting in a queue or riding the subway. Similar to television shows, podcasts are generally free to download and most offer new content every week.
Donna Jackson, 22, Sydney University media graduate, listens to podcasts two or three times a week, via iTurns. “I listen while I’m wandering around the house doing something else. It makes completing a boring task much more enjoyable… And it’s an easy way of keeping in touch with what’s g oing on in the rest of the world,” she said, “I mainly listen to BBC podcasts, but recently I’ve also been listening to This American Life and Serial. They have a special skill to really draw you in.”
Unlike television and music, the audio format has the potential to create a deep impression on readers. Blumberg says this owes to the podcast’s ability “to create close relationship and emotional connection.” Sydney University undergraduate Hazel Proust, majoring in social work and arts, agrees. “When you’re listening, it feels as if the voice of the podcast’s storyteller is talking directly to you. It’s comforting,” said Proust.
It seems the age-old tradition of verbal storytelling is very much alive and well.
68. From the first two paragraphs, we can learn that ________.
A. traditional broadcast has come back
B. Americans love listening to the radio
C. podcasts have become very popular today
D. smart phones sell well because of podcasts
69. The writer mentions Donna Jackson mainly to ________.
A. tell how young people relax themselves
B. explain why young people like podcasts
C. introduce what programs podcasts are presenting
D. show how popular podcasts are presenting
70. Paragraph 5 is mainly about ________.
A. the influence of radios
B. the advantage of podcasts
C. readers’ impression on radios
D. people’s reaction to the medium
71. What is probably the best title of the passage?
A. Return of Radio
B. Opinions of Podcast
C. Features of Radio
D. Technology of Podcast

We all think that we know what happiness is. We all seem to be making great efforts towards this goal of happiness but what is it really? It is an agreed fact that all the creatures want happiness and are afraid of pain and sadness. The question, however, is “what is real happiness?” What really is called happiness? The desire for happiness has no meaning without understanding the real nature of happiness.
Some thinkers say, “Happiness does not lie in objects of enjoyment; happiness or unhappiness lies in imagination.”
To prove their belief, they give examples like the following one: A man has a two-storey house; on the right is a five-storey building and on the left a cottage. When he sees right, he feels unhappy and when he sees left he feels happy. As such happiness does not lie in possession of sensory objects, but in imagination. They advise people to look towards those who have fewer possessions and be happy. If you look towards people having more wealth and possessions, you will always be unhappy.
It is unreasonable to hold this point of view. It is unkind to regard one happy by imagining that one is better than the poor and the unhappy. “If you want to be happy, look towards the poor”. We know that those poor people cannot satisfy even their basic needs. This attitude satisfies the sense of pride of possessions, but this can never be called happiness.
Unless we really find where happiness lies, we cannot really be happy.
S ome ask people to do this and do that and say, “This way your desires would be satisfied. You would get the desired objects and become happy.” People holding these views regard happiness as satisfaction of desires. But it is not possible to satisfy one’s d esires because there are countless desires of countless people and the material things are limited. Then new desires arise as soon as the previous ones are satisfied. Therefore, desires, which are changing all the time, can never be satisfied.
Happiness is a characteristic of a good life, that is, a life in which a person fulfills (履行) human nature in an excellent way. People have a set of purposes which are typically human: these belong to our nature. Happiness is also a condition that must be prepared for, cultivated (培养), and defended privately by each person. People who learn to control inner experience will be able to determine the quality of their lives and come to being happy. Happiness lies in the distribution of easiness among others. Happiness stands for forgiveness and justice. Happiness is the name of struggle and courage. Happiness may be founded in seeking of true knowledge and rule of wisdom. Happiness may be shared in service and duty.
This life is combination of joys and sorrows, and honest efforts should be done to make this life journey full of happiness, love, peace and harmony.
72. What is the purpose of the passage?
A. To show how to achieve happiness.
B. To encourage people to achieve happiness.
C. To explain the features of happiness.
D. To argue how to understand happiness.
73. The writer doesn’t think that happiness lies in the satisfaction of desires because .
A. no desires of a person can be satisfied at all
B. ever-changing desires can never be satisfied
C. there isn’t enough money to meet people’s needs

One possible version:
Our government is aiming to build a "harmonious society". I think it is every citizen's duty to work hard to achieve this goal.
As high school students, what should we do?
First of all, we should love our motherland. Let’s take a great interest in the development of our hometowns and take an active part in our school and activities.
Secondly, let’s fill the world with love. We should show our respect for old people, our parents and our teachers. We should also care for each other and help those in need. Most important of all, all of us must be faithful and honest in our daily life such as not cheating in the exams.
Finally, let’s work together to save energy and protect our natural environment,
including animals, trees, flowers and grass. For me, I should try to save electricity in my daily life. For example, if I am the last person to leave the classroom in the evening, I will always remember to turn off the lights.
let's start fight now and spare no effort to do a little bit every day, every hour, and every minute! I believe that doing all these small things will improve our environment and interpersonal relationships and help make our society a harmonious place to live in.。
