本文是一篇记叙文。文章讲述了71岁的退休法官Leon在开车途中突发心脏病，一名陌生人及时拨打了急救电话并采取了急救措施。康复后，Leon通过努力找到了救命恩人，并以独特的方式向她表达了自己的感激之情。
61. was driving 考查动词的时态和主谓一致。根据下文中的“when he had a sudden heart attack”可知，此处表示Leon在开车途中突发心脏病，故此处应用过去进行时，且主语“Leon”为第三人称，谓语动词应用单三形式。故填was driving。
62. treatment考查词性转换。形容词“first-aid”后应接名词。故填treatment。
63. determined 考查固定搭配。固定搭配be determined to do sth.意为“下定决心做某事”。故填determined。
64. Searching 考查非谓语动词。分析句子结构可知，此处应用现在分词短语作时间状语。故填Searching。注意首字母大写。
65. him 考查代词。此处应用宾格作动词“saw”的宾语。故填him。
66. to考查介词。固定用法apply...to...意为“把……运用到……”。故填to。
67. mildly考查词性转换。此处应用副词修饰动词“laid”。故填mildly。
68. interests考查名词的单复数。interest为可数名词。根据“different”可知，此处应用名词的复数形式。故填interests。
69. what考查宾语从句。分析句子结构可知，本句为宾语从句，连接词在从句中作“do”的宾语，应用what引导该从句。故填what。
70. an 考查冠词。此处泛指“一个想法”，且idea是读音以元音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词an修饰。故填an。
改错：
第一处：第一句，drawn→drawing。考查with的复合结构。根据本句中的“With”可知，此处构成with+宾语＋宾补的复合结构，且宾语和宾补为主动关系，故应用现在分词形式。故把drawn改为drawing。
第二处：第一句，reason→reasons。考查名词的单复数。根据本句中的“many”可知，此处应用可数名词reason的复数形式。故把reason改为reasons。
第三处：第二句，goes→went。考查动词的时态。根据“Eighteen years ago”可知，此处应用一般过去时。故把goes改为went。
第四处：第三句，When→Since。考查状语从句。此处表示自从“我”出生以来，她一直把“我”照顾得很好，此处应用since引导时间状语从句，意为“从……以来”。故把When改为Since。
第五处：第四句，去掉she前的but。考查连词。though和but不能同时使用。故去掉she前的but。
第六处：第五句，在handle前加to。考查固定搭配。固定搭配encourage sb. to do sth.意为“鼓励某人做某事”。故在handle前加to。
第七处：第五句，proper→properly。考查副词。此处应用副词修饰动词“handle”。故把proper改为properly。
第八处：第六句，a→an。考查冠词。此处表示“我”成为了一名独立、自信且开朗的高中生，此处表泛指，且independent是读音以元音音素开头的单词，应用不定冠词an修饰。故把a改为an。
第九处：第七句，grow-up→grown-up。考查名词。冠词“a”后应接名词，grown-up作名词时意为“成人，大人”。故把grow-up改为grown-up。
第十处：第七句，him→her。考查代词。此处表示轮到我照顾她（妈妈）了，应用her指代mom。故把him改为her。
Dear George,
I’m sorry to know you have been annoyed at getting up and being late to school recently. Here are some suggestions I want to offer you.
First of all, you should get into the habit of sleeping and getting up early. It is the most effective way to solve the problem. Second, taking exercise properly is necessary for you, because it helps you keep energetic and leads to getting up early. Finally, you have to realize the importance of getting school on time, and even get rid of the laziness inside yourself to keep active.
I hope my advice would be helpful to you and you can get over the problem soon.
Yours,

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Shopping is one of the best ways to relax after a stressful week. Nothing is more satisfying than finding a perfect item -- and when I’ m bored with shopping for clothes I move on to make-up and shoes. I never shop in sales -- the reason the items haven’ t sold at full price is usually because they are badly made or horrible colours.
--Blanca
I hate shopping and it bores me enormously. I really cannot understand such a useless and expensive habit. I only shop for clothes when I can’ t get out of it and when I do, I make sure I buy good quality and as much as I can afford, to put off having to go again for as long as possible. I have friends who will spend a Whole day going from shop to shop trying on lots of different clothes and not buying anything. That’s really stupid.
--Pam
I can’ t see the point in spending a lot of money on clothes, when they are so much cheaper abroad. I do most of my shopping when I go on holiday, and get great clothes for half the price. I love finding bargains! I also buy a lot in sales. The clothes may be out of fashion a bit, but they’ re good quality, and if you wait long enough, they come back into fashion!
--Meghan
I personally still spend half of my wage on clothes. I usually only ever wear something three times before I throw it in the back of my wardrobe (衣橱). I never wear a party dress more than once. If I lost my job and couldn’t afford to buy lots of clothes, I would never be able to go out of the house again.
--Shelly
21. What does Pam focus on when shopping for clothes
A. Price. B. Brand. C. Pattern. D. Quality.
22. Who is a bargain hunter
A. Blanca. B. Pam. C. Meghan D. Shelly.
23. Which of the following can best describe Shelly
A. She has no taste for clothes. B. She is addicted to shopping.
C. She is always leading the fashion. D. She goes shopping only when necessary.
B
Nowadays, parents worry a lot because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.
Children who become addicted(上瘾的) to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.
Since they spend tons of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.
There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children tend to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.
What should be done First of all, the government should regulate TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system(分级制度) and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence and sex can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.
It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently in real life. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to keep our children from watching violence.
24. What experts really worry is that .
A. children spend too much time watching TV
B. TV violence has a bad influence on children
C. children become addicted to TV programs
D. children have less time to do their homework
25. The author explain how the government should control TV violence by .
A. giving an example B. giving a definition
C. making a comparison D. presenting research findings
26. What does the underlined word “imitate” in Paragraph 4 most probably mean
A. Explain. B. Copy. C. Ignore. D. Avoid.
27. What is the author’s purpose for writing this text
A. To express his own worries about TV violence.
B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.
C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.
D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.

Do you like spicy food
What’s your opinion on spicy（辛辣的） food Some people cannot handle even the smallest amount of chili-red pepper-in their dinner while others can’t get enough of it.
Scientists have long been puzzled by why some people love chili while others loathe it. Plenty of research has been done on the subject, dating as far back as the 1970s. Previous results showed that a love of chili is related to childhood experiences, and cultural influences affect our taste buds（味蕾） too. But the latest study has found that a person’s love of spicy food may be linked to his or her personality more than anything else, CBC News reported.
“We have always thought that liking drives intake---we eat what we like and we like what we eat. But no one has actually directly connected personality with intake of chili peppers(辣椒）”’said Professor John Hayes from Pennsylvania State University, who led the study.
But before you look at the study, you should first know that “spicy” is not a taste, unlike sour, sweet, bitter and salty. It is, in fact, a burning feeling that you feel on the surface of your tongue. This got scientists thinking that maybe a love of spicy food is brought about by people’s longing for thrill, something they usually get from watching action movies or riding a roller coaster.
In the study, 97 participants, both male and female, were asked to fill out questionnaires about certain traits of their personality, for example, whether they like new experiences or tend to avoid risks. They were then given a glass of water with capsaicin, the plant chemical that makes a chili burn, mixed into it.By comparing the answers to the questionnaire and what participants said they felt about the spicy water, researchers found that those who tended to enjoy action movies or take risks were about six times more likely to enjoy the spicy water.
Interestingly, we used to believe that the reason some people can withstand spicy food is that their tongues have become less sensitive to it. However, this latest study has found otherwise. “It’s not that it doesn’t burn as badly, it’s that you actually learn to like the burn,” Hayes explained.
32. What’s the meaning of the underlined word “loathe” in the second paragraph
A. dislike B. fear C. put up with D. adapt to
33. What did Professor John Hayes and his team discover from their study
A. what we eat actually helps to develop our personalities
B. Males are more likely to enjoy spicy food than females
C. Those trying to avoid risks tend to be less interested in spicy food
D. People are wrong to treat spicy as a kind of taste rather than a feeling
34. Why do some people like spicy food according to the recent study
A. Because their taste buds have become less sensitive
B. Because they love the burning feeling
C. Because they want to challenge themselves
D. Because the more they try spicy food, the less it burns
35. What’s the main idea of the passage
A. What he or she likes to eat mainly decides on his or her personality
B. That a person enjoys spicy food depends largely on the personality
C. His or her childhood experiences decide on his or her personality
D. His or her cultural background decides on his or her personality

● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it's important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day Once you are clear about your reason, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.
