As a child，I was generally happy，singing and dancing to my favorite songs，smiling and laughing with my friends and family.But as far back as second grade，I noticed a “darkness”about me.I didn’t enjoy participating in many things.
In middle school，things in my life began to get even worse.I began withdrawing from everything I once enjoyed.I was always tired.Everything was horrible.Finally，midway through eighth grade，I was told I had a chemical imbalance，diagnosed(诊断) with clinical depression，and had to take medicine.It took months for me to feel the effects of the medicine.
When I began to feel happy again is when I realized that I had to take the responsibility for getting better myself，rather than relying on medicine.Aristotle said，“To live happily is an inward power of the soul，”and I believe that this quote describes what I had to do to achieve happiness.Happiness is a journey.Everyone seems to need different things to be happy.
“The essentials(要素) to happiness are something to love，something to do，and something to hope for，” a quote from William Blake sums up what I believe people need to realize to be truly happy in life.People need love.I feel they need their family and their friends more than anything else in the world.People need work to do，something to make them feel they are making a difference in the world.People need to know that more good is to come in the future，so they continue to live for “now” instead of constantly worrying about the bad that could come.Love and hope are happiness.
24．What do we know about the author in Paragraph 2?
A．He hated going to sleep because he couldn’t sleep well.
B．He spent months recovering from the clinical depression.
C．He was diagnosed with clinical depression in Grade Seven.
D．He suffered a great deal from clinical depression.
25．Who helped the author to be happy again?
A．The author’s friends.
B．Aristotle.
C．The author himself.
D．William.
26．Which of the following about being truly happy is unnecessary in the author’s opinion? A．Love. B．Ambition.
C．Hope. D．Work.
27．What may be the best title for the text?
A．The Essentials to Happiness
B．Ways to Overcome Shortcomings
C．Everyone Needs to Be Happy
D．Happiness Is Love

Learning any language is hard，but learning English can be especially challenging.Why? Because native speakers use the language in ways that textbooks could never describe.In particular，words that British people use cause many language students to scratch their heads.
Here’s an example：You overhear a Briton calling someone a “wazzock”．But what exactly is a wazzock? This word，in fact，means a foolish person，although there’s nothing about it that would help you guess that.There are many strange terms like this in British English—the Oxford English Dictionary would be much smaller without these peculiar(古怪的) usages filling its pages.
How can these odd words be explained? Part of the answer is the British sense of humor.Britons don’t like to take things too seriously，and this is evident through many British words and phrases.For example，to “spend a penny” means to use the bathroom.It refers to the days when people had to pay a penny to use a public toilet.
In an interview for the BBC’s website，British linguist David Crystal suggests there may be historical reasons for the sheer number of odd words and phrases in British English.He thinks that they began in the late 16th and early 17th centuries.This was a great age for the theater，when Shakespeare and other writers worked hard to keep up with the demand for new plays.The theater’s popularity also created an incentive(刺激) to invent new words.
With this in mind，perhaps Shakespeare and his peers are to blame for unusual British words such as “codswallop” and “balderdash”—which both，ironically，mean “nonsense”．While these strange words may be confusing to non-native speakers，they certainly make studying English a lot more interesting.
28．According to the text，why may non-native speakers find it hard to learn English? A．Dictionaries don’t explain odd usages of many words.
B．A great many strange words make no sense to them.
C．The English textbooks they study are usually out of date.
D．They are unable to understand the humor in conversations.
29．With the example of “spend a penny”，the author intends to .
A．explain one reason of how some strange phrases were created
B．explain the meaning and background of the phrase
C．show what typical British sense of humour is
D．show British people’s attitude toward strange words
30．According to David Crystal，.
A．many of the words that Shakespeare invented were nonsense
B．Shakespeare’s works are boring because of the odd words involved
C．the theater’s success in the 17th century inspired the birth of many odd words
D．the odd words in Shakespeaer’s plays contributed a lot to the theater’s popularity 31．What is the text mainly about?
A．The development of the British English.
B．Shakespeare’s influence on British English.
C．The origin and meanings of British humour.
D．Some reasons for the large number of odd words in British English.

Like most of you，I’ve grown up with science putting it into my head that eating cholesterol(胆固醇) is bad for us.My doctor has scolded me repeatedly for liking high-cholesterol snacks.But now，after 40 years of giving cholesterol such a rap，the scientific experts are reportedly ready to reverse(颠倒) themselves.Suddenly，we’re going to be told that high-cholesterol foods are not bad for us after all.
This isn’t the first time science reverses what it believes to be true，nor will it be the last.To optimists，the fluidity of science’s conclusions is a good thing—prove that science is always correcting itself in light of the very latest information.But a modern society looks increasingly to science for not just what to eat，but also how to behave and what to think.How can we trust an authority that often changes its mind in extreme ways?
Science’s typical way isn’t limited to matters of nutrition.Go ahead and check it out for yourself by looking at the qualifiers used in the vast majority of honestly written science news articles.You’ll see that the stories are laced with weak words and phrases such as：some，in certain circumstances，probably，perhaps，may，could，tends，suggests，indicates，according to，is linked to，plays a role in.The grave problem I’ve observed over the years is that too often science and its reporters create the impression of certainty when none is proved.The cholesterol story is but one example of that make-believe certainty.
How much should we be concerned about this？A great deal，I believe，given science’s great and growing influence on our lives.At the very least，each of us needs to understand that the scientific worldview—impressive as it surely is—is built on shifting sands.As Einstein once observed，“No amount of experimentation can ever prove me right；a single experiment can prove me wrong.”
32．The underlined part “giving cholesterol such a rap” in Para.1 means the author . A．always promotes use of cholesterol
B．sometimes stands for cholesterol
C．avoids cholesterol generally
D．eats cholesterol regularly
33．In the eyes of the author，changes in scientific statements .
A．are worrying
B．are meaningless
C．are a good thing in a way
D．are the major way to improve science
34．According to the text，which of the following is NOT the word commonly used in scientific articles?
A．Likely. B．Surely.
C．Seems. D．Appears.
35．What can be concluded from the passage?
A．Science can blind us.
B．Science need be open to doubt.
C．Science is not as important as thought.
D．Science should be built on experiments.

Have you ever heard of a bug(虫子) called the cicada(蝉)？Well，a special kind of these bugs live underground in the US for most of their lives.They have an interesting bio-clock. 36 Every 17 years，billions of the noisy Brood V cicadas will swarm(涌现) to northeastern parts of the US，including New York，Ohio and Pennsylvania. 37 But there are usually a lot less of them compared to the Brood V cicadas.
38 According to Disco v ery Ne w s，these bugs started their lives in 1999.And as their
17-year life cycle comes to an end，they go above ground when their underground homes get warmer—64 degrees Fahrenheit (about 18℃) to be exact.Then the females will lay hundreds of eggs in trees. 39 The baby cicadas will go underground，and the 17-year cycle will start over again.
While they can be kind of annoying，these bugs don’t harm humans. 40 That sound is the male cicadas attracting the female cicadas.Besides，a large amount of laid eggs can sometimes harm small trees and bushes because there are so many of the 17-year cicadas.However，after this summer，these bugs will mostly mind their own business until 2033.
A．They feed on leaves and roots.
B．It tells them when to go above ground.
C．What makes Brood V cicadas so special?
D．But they do make a lot of noise during their time above ground.
E．After about four to six weeks，the mother and father cicadas will die.
F．For a different brood of cicadas，mating season is just around the corner.
G．There are other kinds of cicadas that come around once a year or every 13 years.

Text 10
W：Good morning，students.As summer is drawing near，I think many of you might want to get a summer job and earn some pocket money or want to try out working in society.But you ought to know that there are many traps out there.When you are offered a job，you must fully understand its nature and what you are required to do.If a job pays you highly but requires few skills，or academic qualifications，you have to be careful.You must decline jobs that may involve unlawful or immoral behaviors.
In the past years，most of the summer job traps were related to money.Employers required the summer workers to pay fees，such as registration fees and administration fees，or even cash payment for training.If you run across these circumstances，think carefully before accepting any demands.
Every year，there are more than 40 cases of injuries related to summer job workers as reported.I strongly advise you to pay extra attention to occupational safety to avoid work injuries.
To sum up，always think，look and ask before you accept any job offer.If you have any problems，consult your parents or authorities such as the police.
