The 2012gala, with an average reach of 499 million viewers, set a new GuinnessWorld Record for the “Most Watched National Network TV Broadcast”. Though the Spring Festival Gala is a highly _ 53 show, it is more than entertainment. “It’s part of modern culture for Chinese people,” Huang Yihe, director of the first CCTV gala in 1983, said: “People have been workin g for a whole year and need an outlet (出口，发泄的方法) to express their emotions.”The first CCTV gala was broadcast live at a time when most families in China couldn’t54__ a TV set.

This year, international star Celine Dion plans to make an appearance.Despite the negativity(否定性), most Chinese people always watch CCTV on Lunar New Year’s Eve.

Humans are born naturally to sleep best at night and be awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to adapt the 41 schedule of shift work(轮班) —being awake at night and sleeping during the day.In order to make this 42 acceptable to you, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help.Arrange to sleep in a(n) 43 condition. This means you may have to unplug your phone, hang darkening curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and ask your family and friends to 44 you alone while you sleep.Fit in a nap. When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or on a break has been shown to 45 energy and enhance performance.Develop and follow a sleep routine.It’s best if you go to sl eep and wake up at the sametime every day. Try not to 46 this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine.Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may be 47 to reach for unhealthy foods or nicotine(尼古丁) to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But in the end these choices are more harmful than helpful.If you have tried all these things and are still having problems getting enough 48 sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medical treatment may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be a potential sleep disorder that needs to be 49 as soon as possible.III. Reading ComprehensionSection ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.Everyone dreams of being successful. Does anyone think of the mere question as to what elements 50 success, if there is any? Is there a “success personality”—some winning combination of qualities that leads almost 51 to achievement? If so, exactly what is that secret success formula, and can anyone develop it? At the Gallop Organization we recently focused in depth on success, inquiring into the 52 of 1,500 distinguished people selected at random from who’s who in America. Our research finds out a number of 53 that occur regularly among top achievers. Here is one of the most important, that is common sense.Common sense is the most obvious quality 54 by our participants. Seventy-nine percent award themselves a top score in this quality. And Sixty-one percent say that common sense was very important in 55 their success.To most, common sense means the ability to present sound, practical 56 on everyday affairs. To do this, one has to sweep aside 57 ideas and get right to the key of what matters. A Texas oil and gas businessman puts it this way: “The key ability for success is 58 . In conduction of meeting and dealing with industry, 59 a complex problem to the simplest term is highly important.”Is common sense a quality a person is born with, or can you do something to increase it? The oil man’s answer is that common sense can definitely be 60 . He owes his success to learning how to debate in school. Another way to 61 your store of common sense is to observe it in others, learning from their—and your own—mistakes.Besides common sense, there are many other factors that 62 success: in order for you to achieve anything in your career, you have to first believe. You need to believe in yourself that you can achieve it, that is, you need to have 63 in your goals and your path to that success. However, nothing moves until you do something. Belief alone is not going to achieve anything for you. It must be followed up with concrete 64 . Your plan for career success is nothing unless you act upon it whole-heartedly.50. A. define B. determine C. estimate D. prove51. A. especially B. properly C. inevitably D. alternatively52. A. opinions B. theories C. capabilities D. requirements53. A. challenges B. attractions C. qualifications D. qualities54. A. possessed B. recommended C. proposed D. achieved55. A. thinking about B. approving of C. making out D. contributing to56. A. performances B. judgments C. characters D. principles57. A. original B. common C. extra D. moderate58. A. advancing B. persevering C. simplifying D. revising59. A. reducing B. comparing C. applying D. referring60. A. protected B. maintained C. observed D. developed61. A. add to B. get over C. keep up D. go through62. A. create B. influence C. judge D. attract63. A. preparation B. attempt C. faith D. support64. A. thought B. progress C. plan D. actionSection BDirections:Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.(A)Last spring, employees of the Hartville Corporation organized a weeklong strike to protest poor working conditions and unreasonable company policies. A committee was organized to investigate circumstances that led to the strike. Here is part of the report.●Hartville’s overtime pay is well below the national level, and overtime is obliged at least once a week.●Employees working in the manufacturing department have an alarmingly high rate of repetitive (重复的) stress injury. The equipment they are working with is extremely old and dangerous and does not meet current health and safety standards. The committee recommended that equipment be evaluated and brought up-to-date immediately.●Sick and personal day policies are unclear. Employees report conflicting and/or confusing policies relating to sick and personal days, which have resulted in numerous misunderstandings about procedures and allowances as well as unfair punishment action.●In the past four years, five pregnant women with clean work records were dismissed soon after their pregnancies were public. In all five cases, the reasons for firing were not specifically clear, although one of the employees was told by her immediate supervisor that new mothers make very unreliable employees.●Hartville’s upper management is largely unaware of the dissatisfaction of employees. Evidence shows that middle management delays vital information leading to upper management’s underestimation of the seriousness of employee dissatisfaction.65. Why do Hartville employees have a high rate of repetitive stress injury?A. Because the management policy is out of date.B. Because their pays are extremely low.C. Because Hartville’s equipment is below stan dard.D. Because sick and personal day policies are not clear.66. O ne reason that the Hartville”s upper management is unresponsive is that ________.A. they are more concerned with saving money than protecting employeesB. they are unaware of the degree of dissatisfaction among their employeesC. the company authority restricts its management functionD. they have not been trained in the latest management techniques67. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the findings?A. A suggestion to raise employees’ pay and reduce work time.B. A description of employees being unfairly dismissed.C. A comparison between overtime pay at Hartville and the national average.D. A finding about a problem within middle management.(B)Winter begins in the north on December 22nd. People and animals have been doing what they always do to prepare for the colder months. Squirrels(松鼠), for example, have been busy gathering nuts from trees. Well, scientists have been busy gathering information about what the squirrels do with the food they collect.They examined differences between red squirrels and gray squirrels in the American state of Indiana. The scientists wanted to know how these differences could affect the growth of black walnut(黑胡桃) trees. The black walnut is the nut of choice for both kinds of squirrels. The black walnut tree is also a central part of some hardwood forests.Rob Swihart of Purdue University did the study with Jake Goheen, a former Purdue student now at the University of New Mexico. The two researchers estimate that several times as many walnuts grow when gathered by gray squirrels as compared to red squirrels. Gray squirrels and red squirrels do not store nuts and seeds in the same way. Gray squirrels bury nuts one at a time in a number of places. But they seldom remember where they buried every nut. So some nuts remain in the ground. Conditions are right for them to develop and grow the following spring. Red squirrels, however, store large groups of nuts above ground. Professor Swihart calls “death traps for seeds”.Gray squirrels are native to Indiana. But Professor Swihart says their numbers began to decrease as more forests were cut for agriculture. Red squirrels began to spread through the state during the past century.The researchers say red squirrels are native to forests that stay green all year, unlike walnut trees. They say the cleaning of forest land for agriculture has helped red squirrels invade Indiana. Jake Goheen calls them a sign of an environmental problem more than a cause.68. The study done by Rob Swihart and Jake Goheen is to ________.A. find out the living conditions for squirrelsB. learn squirrels’ influence on black walnut treesC. do something to get rid of squirrelsD. save the forests in the American state of Indiana69. The difference between gray squirrels and red squirrels mainly lies in ________.A. the way they gather the walnutB. the time they have winter sleepC. the place they have winter sleepD. the place they store the walnuts70. When Professor Swihart says “death traps for seeds”, he actually means that ________.A. red squirrels eat more nuts than gray squirrelsB. gray squirrels and red squirrels will have severe fightsC. nuts above the ground will not develop into plantsD. seeds can be traps for other animals in the forest71. According to the passage, which of the following is true?A. The black walnut is equally attractive to both gray and red squirrels.B. Gray squirrels do more harm to the forest than red squirrels.C. Red squirrels and gray squirrels have helped the spread of walnut trees.D. The cleaning of forest land benefits red squirrels directly.(C)Television is a relatively stable advertising medium. In many ways, the television ads today are almost the same to those two decades ago. Most television ads still feature actors, still run 30 or 60 seconds, and still show a product. However, the different medium of the Internet causes unique challenges to advertisers, forcing them to adapt their practices and techniques.In the early days of Internet marketing, online advertisers used banner (框式广告) and pop-up ads (弹出式广告) to attract customers. These techniques reached large audiences, led to many sales leads, and came at a low cost. However, a small number of Internet users began to consider these advertising techniques annoying. Yet because marketing strategies relying heavily on banners and pop-ups produced results, companies invested growing amounts of money into purchasing these ad types. As consumers became more complicated, frustration with these online advertising techniques grew. Independent programmers began to develop tools that blocked banner and pop-up ads.A major development in online marketing came with the introduction of pay-per-click ads. Unlike banner or pop-up ads, which originally required companies to pay every time a website visitor saw an ad, pay-per-click ads allowed companies to pay only when an interested potential customer clicked on an ad. More importantly, however, these ads are notaffected by the pop-up and banner blockers. As a result of these advantages and the incredible growth in the use of search engines, which provide excellent places for pay-per-click advertising, a great number of companies began turning to pay-per-click marketing. However, as with the banner and pop-up ads, pay-per-click ads came with their shortcomings. When companies began pouring billions of dollars into this emerging medium, online advertising specialists started to notice the presence of what would later be called click fraud(欺诈): representatives of a company with no interest in the product advertised by a competitor click on the competitor’s ads simply to increase the marketing cost of the competitor. Click fraud grew so rapidly that marketers sought to diversify(摆脱) their online positions away from pay-per-click marketing through new mediums.Although pay-per-click advertising remains a common and effective advertising tool, marketers adapted yet again to the changing elements of the Internet by adopting new techniques such as pay-per-performance advertising. As the pace of the Internet’s evolution increases, it seems all the more likely that advertising successfully on the Internet will requirea strategy that avoids constancy (持续性) and welcomes change.72. What is the main idea of the passage?A. The pace of the Internet’s evolution is increasing and will only increase in the future.B. Internet advertising fails to reach Internet users, causing ads to be blocked.C. The Internet has experienced dramatic changes in short periods of time.D. Rapid development of the Internet calls for new advertising strategies and mediums.73. As an advertising medium, the television and the Internet mainly differ in ________.A. the type of individual each medium reachesB. whether the medium is interactiveC. the pace at which the medium developsD. the cost of advertising with each medium74. According to the passage, which of the following is a typical click fraud?A. Using software to block competitors’ advertisements.B. Clicking on the pay-per-click ads of competitors.C. Clicking on the banner advertisements of opponent companies.D. Using search engine to attack the pages of competitors.75. What does the author imply about the future of pay-per-performance advertising?A. It will eventually become less popular just like other forms of Internet advertising.B. It will not face shortcomings due to its differing approach to online marketing.C. Internet users will develop free software to block its effectiveness.D. Although it improves on pay-per-click advertising, it still suffers from click fraud.Section CDirections: Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need. A. The benefit of Smart Grid technology to daily lifeB. Background for the emerging of Smart Grid technologyC. The side-effects Smart Grid technology causesD. People ’s attitudes towards Smart Grid technologyE. The supporting system of Smart Grid technologyF. The challenges Smart Grid technology meet with76.There are increasing fears of global warming. Consequently, many countries are focusing on the switch to a low carbon economy. This shift will lead to major changes in the supply anduse of electricity. To meet these challenges, countries are investing in Smart Grid (智能电网) technology. This system aims to provide the electricity industry with a better understanding ofpower generation and demand to create a more efficient power network.77.Smart Grid technology basically involves the application of a computer system to the electricity network. The computer system can be used to collect information about supply and demand and improve engineer’s ability to manage the system. With better information about electricity demand, the network will be able to increase the amount of electricity delivered per unit generated, leading to potential reductions in fuel needs and carbon emissions (排放). 78. Smart Grid technology is profitable to consumers too. They will be able to collect real-time information on their energy use for each appliance. Varying tariffs (收费标准) throughout the day will give customers the motivation to use appliances at times when supply greatly exceeds (超过) demand, leading to great reductions in bills.79. With these changes comes a range of things to be overcome. The first involves managing the supply and demand. Sources of renewable energy, such as wind, wave and solar, are unpredictable, and nuclear power, which is also set to increase as nations switch to alternative energy sources, is inflexible. A second problem is the fact that many renewable power generation sources are located in remote areas, such as windy uplands and coastal regions. 80. Although Smart Technology is still in its infancy, experimental plans to promote and test it are already underway. Consumers are currently testing the new smart meters which can be used in their homes to manage electricity use. Cities are investing money into smart energy, due to the high population density and high energy use. It is here where Smart Technology is likely to be promoted first, making use of a range of sustainable (可持续的) power sources, transport solutions.Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.For anyone who is determined to be a fashion designer, it is not enough to have succeeded in college. The real test is whether they can survive, and become established during their early 20s, making a name for themselves in the real world where business skills can be as important as creativity.Fashion is a hard business. There is a continuous amount of stress because work is at a constant and extremely fast speed to prepare for the next season’s colle ctions. It is extremely competitive and there is the constant need to make attractive advertisements of the latest fashion in newspapers and magazines. It also requires continual freshness because the appetite for new ideas is hard to satisfy. “We try to w arn people before they come to us about how tough it is.”says Lydia Kemeny, the Head of Fashion at St. Martin’s School of Art in London. “And we point out that drive and determination are absolutely necessary.”This may seem far removed from the popular opinions of fashionable young people spending their time designing pretty dresses. That may well be what they do in their first year of study but a good college won’t be slow in introducing students to commercial realities. “We don’t walk our foot on the bl ossoming flower of creativity but in the second year we start introducing the restrictions of price, producing ability, marketing and so on.”Almost all fashion design is done to a brief. It is not a form of self-expression as such, although there is certainly room for imagination and creativity. Most young designers are going to end up as employees of a producer or a fashion house and they still need to be able to work within the employers’ characteristic style. Even those who are most modern in their own taste of clothes may need to produce designs which are right for the mainstream of market. They also have to be able to work at both the expensive and the cheap end of the market and the challenge to produce good design inexpensively may well be demanding.(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN 12 WORDS.)81. What are equally important if a fashion designer wants to be successful?82. Why does a fashion designer have to be creative?83. Besides learning to design beautiful dresses, students are also taught _______________.84. According to the last paragraph, ____________________ are the two things fashiondesigners have to consider when working as employees.第II 卷(共45分)I.

Paddling（划浆）a dragon boat is no piece of cake.Besides the key timerequired to be part of a team，it's a full-body exercise.When I joined a team，they told me it took at least three years to become a good paddler.There's so much to remember：correct posture and movement as well as team synchronization（同步，同时性）are necessary for a team's success.Dragon boat racing is a well-honored tradition in China and the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival.However，because of the pandemic（疫情），last year's races were put off from June to October.For the first time，Taipci's dragon boat championships were held during the October holiday. Our team knew racing conditions on the river would be different in October，but we had no idea how different they would be.A nearby typhoon brought in the fierce winds and big waves on theriver.With about 40 teams participating，I didn't expect our team to go very far.This was the first competition for most of us.And only the top two finishers in each group would advance to the next round.Simply getting to the race's starting point for our first group was a challenge.The big waves threatened to flip（翻转）us over.Paddling against wave was tough，but we crossed the finish line and surprisingly，advanced to the second round.The next day，there was no shortage of accidents.Boats flipped over and others lost control and weren't able to finish their races.In our final race that day，we narrowly advanced to the following day's semifinals.We faced strong competitors in the semifinals，including a semiprofessional team.Being held back by their boat's waves was highly frustrating.However，in dragon boat racing，no one ever stops paddling，no matter what!So I kept paddling working my hardest to keep pace with the team.We trailed the other boats，but we didn't lose hope.In the final push，filled with both excitement and exhaustion，we persisted and advanced to the finals!Although we had expectations，never did we imagine we'd make it into the top three.How come？Let me tell you!To win a dragon boat race，you need three things：________，_______and__________ .(1) Paddling a dragon boat is easy，isn't it？______(2) According to the team mates，how long did it take to become a good paddler？______(3) Why were the races put off last year？______(4) How did the writer feel when they advanced to the second round？______(5) What do you think of the writer's semifinal race______(6) What can be filled in the blanks in the last paragraphTo win a dragon boat race，you need three things：______ ______ ，and ______ .五、选词填空-短文（本大题共2小题，共8.0分）29.On the last day of last September，my sister sent me a message：The 1196 weather service will come to an end.So，if you want to listen，today is the last（1）______ .For 20 years，a caller could（2）______ 1196，choose an area and then hear the weather report read by a computer-spliced（合成的）version of my father's voice.Dad has been（3）______ for 19 years，and the weather app would take the place of it soon.Dad's love for the job was beyond my imagination.He kept making most of the recordings—thousands of words and phrases—after he had cancer.I remembered following him to the recording room（4）______ .(1)(2)(3)(4)30.He would sit there for a whole day，reading thousands of words with headphones on.The familiar headphones and the exact pronunciation all took him back to his previous job as a radio journalist.And he was（1）______ his voice.It sounded strong still and held its fine timbre（音色）though he was in poor health.The whole recording was really a large（2）______ with many parts.In the end，Dad was too weak to go to the recording room.Then the sound engineer came to my parents' house to（3）______ the last parts.（4）______ ，I called the number for the last time.A well-spoken robot，speaking in my father's voice，made me ache.It was another goodbye，so long after the last goodbye.(1)(2)(3)(4)六、阅读填空（本大题共1小题，共14.0分）31.

D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)The first time I saw Jim Wooten I really understood him. He was agreat TV news reporter. When he was reporting in Rwanda, oneheartbreaking moment made a deep impression on me. When thecamera showed all of the children who were dying, suffered fromterrible diseases,Jim ended his piece by saying that when he got home,the first thing he was going to do was to put his arms around his ownchildren. Then I realized that he was differe nt, that he didn’t fall into any of the modern television-news tricks, that he was not giving us any awful, artificial(假的) television-journalist reports out of（出于) pity. Instead, I was watching a real reporter with a gift(天赋) for both words and slight differences.Then I read his book, We Are All the Same, about his friendship with Xolani Nkosi, a South African boy who became the international spokesman for AIDS(艾滋病). It is about the friendship between Wooten and a black child who was ten years old and already dying of AIDS. It is also a book about a great teacher and his student. But the teacher－the one with real wisdom and understanding about life－is the little boy, not the journalist. And, finally, it’s about a love story of Gail Johnson, Nkosi’s white mother who does her best to save the boy, and their lo ve for each other. When reading the book, I felt touched from time to time.88. How did Jim Wooten feel when he saw the dying children in Rwanda?__________________________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)One morning, a blind boy sat on the steps of a building with a hat by his feet. He held up a sign which said, “I am blind, please help me.”There were only a few coins in the hat. A man was walking by. He took out a few coins from his pocket and dropped them into the hat. He then took the sign, turned it around, and wrote some words on it. He put the sign back so that everyone who walked by could see the words.Soon the hat began to fill up. A lot more people were giving money to the blind boy. That afternoon the man who had changed the sign came to see how things were. The boy recognized his footsteps and asked, “Are you the one who changed m y sign in the morning? What did you write? ”The man said, “I only wrote the truth, I said what you said, but in a different way. ”What he had written was, “ Today is a beautiful day, but I cannot see it.”Do you think the first sign and the second sign were saying the same thing?Of course both signs told people the boy was blind. But the first sign simply told people to help by putting some money in the hat. The second sign told people that they were able to enjoy the beauty of the day, but the boy could not enjoy it because he was blind.The first sign simply said the boy was blind. The second sign told people they were so lucky that they were not blind.There are at least two lessons we can learn from this story.The first is: Treasure（珍惜）what you have. Someone else has less.

Then I realized that many people could help us achieve our goal. By helping other people, you could gain most.”Disappointed and angry, the rich man went away.

He had left the college 25 years before, and he had never been back. As he walked up from station, he slowly began to feel the same excitement that he had felt when he first went there as an 18-year'-01d boy. When he received the email inviting him to the reunion (重聚) for the people of his year at college, he had felt only happy and excited. Now, as he got nearer to the college, he was nervous, yes, definitely nervous. Perhaps his classmates had all been more successful than him, or at least earned more money than him.He was happy in his job as a university lecturer, but the others were probably all lawyers, accountants and bankers. Who would be there at the reunion? He wondered. He was proud that he had studied there and glad to be back, but at the same time sad that the college was no longer part of his life, sad that he couldn't bring back those days which meant so much to him.The porter gave him a key to a room in the college. He couldn't believe it. It was his' old room. As he walked through the door, he was surprised to feel a tear rolling down his cheeks. He had never thought he would feel like this. He tried to remind himself that his times there had not always been happy, that there had been problems too. It was almost time for dinner, so he put on his black dinner jacket and bow tie and walked down to the dining hall, wondering if any of his old friends would be there.He walked into the dining hall, and there she was.

The Blue Book of Chinese Teenager Financial(金融的) Study shows that social activities now take up more of teenagers’ spending. The book was about teenagers’ spending habits. It was based on studies in nine cities in China, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou. The results show that students are spendingmore and more on their relationships with friends and classmates, such as having meals together and buying birthday gifts. Only one-third of high school students think about the price when choosing gifts. Most say they only care about what their friends like.Xiao Hao, 17, a student at Gaoyou Normal School in Jiangsu, spent more than 1,000 yuan on his birthday meal this February. “They had given me gifts. If I hadn’t done anything in return, I’d have lost face,” Xia said.Xia’s experience is quite usual among the young students. A meal can cost a student’s pocket money for a month. Many just ask more from parents when they use up their money.Zhang Wei, an expert on teenagers’ financial study, suggested that teenagers should learn to make a budget. A budget is a plan of how money will be spent. It helps make decisions about money. To make good use of your money, you can also set a limit. Learn to balance your wants and needs. When choosing gifts for friends, let them know that you care. Sometimes a handmade gift is much better than an expensive one.88.Were there 3 cities in China taking part in the study?(1分)____________，_______________________________________________________.89.

Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题) (12分)Happiness is a feeling that lights up your eyes, makes your steps light and makes you want to sing for no reason. Everyone wants to be happy. But sometimes, a guest comes in without invitation. It’s unhappiness. Don’t let it get you down. Send it away.When you are happy, the world feels like a better place. As the saying goes: When yousmile, the world smiles with you; when you cry, you cry alone. Wearing a smile makes you more charming(迷人的)and helps you to win lots of friends. A good mood（心情）always gives you hope, which makes trouble and problems easier to handle.No matter how happy you are, it’s normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while. Life is full of ups and downs. We can’t change the way life is, but we can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one. To help us do this, it’s good to know some of the factors（因素）that influence happiness.One of the biggest factors is social relationships. People who are close to family and friends are happier than people who don’t have those relationships. Talking and sharing is a good way to relax and build confidence. Knowing someone is there for you will make you braver and more outgoing.Another factor is work or school. If you enjoy school, even if you have lots of homework or extra classes, you will feel that your school life is meaningful and happy. But if you hate school, your negative attitude（消极的态度）may cause you to feel bored and upset that you hate to do so much work.A third factor is your attitude towards life. How do you feel if you fail in an exam? Maybe you think it’s unfair because you always study and should have got a good mark. You can’t stop blaming（责备）yourself. Or, maybe you accept it. You go through the paper carefully, find out why you made stupid mistakes, and tell yourself, “Take it easy! I’ll do better next time!” Your attitude makes a big difference.Do you smile a lot or wear a long face most of the time?88. Happiness is a feeling, isn’t it?____________, _________________________________________________.89. What makes you more charming and gives you hope?_______________________________________________________________.90. What does the underlined sentence mean according to paragraph 3?________________________________________________________________.91. What can we do when we can’t change the way life is?________________________________________________________________.92. How many factors influence happiness? What are they?________________________________________________________________________. 93. How do you make yourself happy in your daily life? Give an example.________________________________________________________________________.Keys: 88. Yes, it is.89. Wearing a smile and a good mood.90. No matter how happy you are, it's normal to feel angry, sad or gloomy once in a while./There are happiness and sadness in our life.91. We can do our best to change a bad situation into a good one.92.

When the young actress was six years old, she appeared in her first Hollywood film, Carolina. With Fox, Temple made a hit film Little Miss Marker.

As a teenager, she appeared in The Blue Bird (1940), which performed poorly at the box office. At age 19, she acted as Susan Turner in The Bachelor and the Bobby-Soxer with her friends Cary Grant and Myrna Loy.

Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage (选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)(12分)Your grandfather is sitting in the living room working on acrossword puzzle on a Saturday morning. He thinks these wordpuzzles are fun, but he also does them for another 65 .He knows that brain games, like crosswords, help build his“mental muscles.”Th e term “mental muscles” describes your brain's ability to finish 66 tasks. Like the muscles in your body, your brain's "muscles” need exercise.While your brain works all the time, that work does not necessarily exercise your brain. 67 . sometimes your brain just needs time to relax and play. It is believed that brain games, like crossword puzzles, make your brain work while playing. They build your concentration by making you focus on some skills for a long time. For example, when doing a Sudoku puzzle, you focus on organization. Other games that may improve brain power are jigsaw puzzles, mahjong (麻将)and chess. They can help you to 68 patterns (图案), solve problems atid memorize information.Games build your brain by making you tliink difierently than you normally do. For example, crosswords use clues to help you fill in a grid (方格)with words. A crossword clue might be “a fruit with yellow skin." Your answer must fit in the grid. The word for this clue has six boxes. To till in those boxes, you need to answer the clue with the word “banana.”Other words in the puzzle share some of die same letters. Because of this, answers to previous clues help you find answers to other clues. Crosswords make you remember the words you know and also help you leam new words. 69 filling out crosswords builds vocabulaiy and memoiy. When choosing a game, choose something that will improve a skill you are working on. It should challenge you. If it does not, it will not make your brain work hard enough. But a puzzle that is too hard isn't any fun. So 70 something that is firn for you, and enjoy building your brain.65. A) reason B) behaviour C) section D) experiment66. A) amazing B) extra C) certain D) familiar67. A) In all B) So far C) In return D) In addition68. A) recognize B) discover C) manage D) print69. A) Therefore B) Instead C)Also D) Still70.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words(在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)(14分)Few things are as wonderful as visiting a beautiful natural place, breathing the fresh air and marveling at the landscape. But enjoying nature comes at a price. People may make nature messy if they aren't c 71 , There should be rules to keep people from accidentally harming nature. In 1990, the Leave No Trace movement attempted to help. They introduced the following seven principles to encourage people to both enjoy and protect the great outdoors.▲Plan a72 . This means more than just deciding which day to go. Check the weather forecast, plan what clothing to wear, and think about a water supply. Check the area's mles for use.▲Hike and camp on surfaces that don't damage easily. Grass is easily damaged. Already used areas or areas with no grass are better choices for camping.▲Deal with waste p 73 . Never leave garbage behind. Don't abandon your food wrappers, cans or leftovers. Take out what you take in.▲Leave what you find. Take home any camping or hiking gear, but leave behind that cool rock or flower.▲Reduce campfire d 74 . Build your fire only in an appropriate location.Check on the conditions of the area before going there. Sometimes building campfires isn't allowed. Never build a fire when weather conditions are too dry or windy.▲Respect wildlife. You should stay at least 100 meters away from wildlife, so you don't d 75 any animals. Getting too close could be fatal. Protect your food so animals can't get into it, and don't feed the animals anything.▲Be kind to other visitors. Don't make loud noises or play loud music when you're out in natural environments. It annoys both the animals and humans. Don't travel in large g 76 as it makes it troublesome for too many people to move around on the trail.These seven principles can help e 77 share the outdoors comfortably. We all need to take care of the earth we know and love.D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）Paddling（划桨）a dragon boat is no piece ofcake.Besides the key time required to be part of a team,it's afull-body exercise. When I joined a team, they toldme it took at least tliree years to become a good paddler.There's so much to remember: correct posture andmovement as well as team synchronization（同步，同时性）are necessary for a team's success.Dragon boat racing is a well-honored tradition in China and the highlight of the Dragon Boat Festival. However, because of the pandemic（疫情）」ast year's races were put off from June to October. For the first time, Taipci's dragon boat championships were held during the October holiday.Our team knew racing conditions on the river would be different in October, but we had no idea how different they would be. A nearby typhoon brought in the fierce winds and big waves on the river. With about 40 teams participating, I didn't expect our team to go very far. This was the first competition for most of us. And only the top two finishers in each group would advance to the next round.Simply getting to the race's starting point for our first group was a challenge. The big waves threatened to flip（翻转）us over. Paddling against wave was tough, but we crossed the finish line and surprisingly, advanced to the second round.The next day, there was no shortage of accidents. Boats flipped over and others lost control and weren't able to finish their races. In our final race that day, we narrowly advanced to the following day's semifinals.We faced strong competitors in the semifinals, including a semiprofessional team. Being held back by their boat*s waves was highly frustrating. However, in dragon boat racing, no one ever stops paddling, no matter what! So 1 kept paddling working my hardest to keep pace with the team. We trailed the other boats, but we didn*t lose hope. In the fi nal push, filled with both excitement and exhaustion, we persisted and advanced to the finals!Although we had expectations, never did we imagine we'd make it into the top three. How come? Let me tell you! To win a dragon boat race, you need three things:83 , 83 and 83 .78. Paddling a dragon boat is easy, is n’t it?,79. According to the team mates, how long did it take to become a good paddler?80. Wliy were the races put off last year?81. How did tlie writer feel when they advanced to the second round?82.
