A
Jenny, my colleague, had a very bad day in the office. She made a big mistake at work and was scolded (斥责) by the manager for quite a while. When she came out of the manager’s office, it was already time to go home. Since her car had broken down, I offered her a lift. While I drove her home, Jenny sat in thoughtful silence.
On arriving, Jenny invited me to meet her family. As we walked towards the front door, she paused briefly at a small tree, touching the tips of the branches with both hands. When opening the door to her home, she showed an amazing change. Smiles appeared on her face and she hugged her two kids and gave her husband a kiss.
After a cup of tea, she walked me to my car. We passed the tree and my curiosity got the better of me. I asked her about what I had seen her do earlier. “Oh, that’s my trouble tree,” Jenny replied. “I know I can’t help having troubles with the job, but one thing is for sure — troubles don’t belong in the house with my husband and the children. So I just hang them on the tree every night when I come home. Then in the morning I pick them up again. The funny thing is when I come out in the morning to pick them up, there aren’t nearly as many as I remember hanging up the night before.”
I left with a smile on my face. She taught me how to deal with troubles in my life. She is right. Our troubles out of the house don’t belong in the family.

Last weekend, the IMAX documentary Island of Lemurs: Madagascar opened in theaters. The film was made to encourage people to protect lemurs (狐猴). They are one of the world’s smallest primates (灵长类动物), and are only found in Madagascar. Because of hunting and habitat loss, some researchers now say the lemurs of Madagascar are “the most threatened mammal group on the earth”. Here are some other threatened and endangered animals that have made headlines recently.
Polar bears are considered an endangered species because their ice habitat, which they use to reach their prey (猎物), is melting away. This forces polar bears to swim longer to find places to hunt their prey. Now you can see them without leaving your home, thanks to Google Street View.
Every April, birders flock (聚集) to the Central Wisconsin Prairie Chicken Festival to see the lesser prairie chicken’s mating dance. On March 27 this year, the Obama administration updated the feathered animal’s status to “threatened” — a step below “endangered” — after the species’ population hit the record low number last year.
Snow leopards living in the mountains of Central Asia have been recognized as an endangered species since 1972 because of hunting and the illegal trading of fur and body parts, which are used in traditional Asian medicine. Their white and gray fur helps them blend into their natural surroundings, and they have extra-large paws to prevent them from sinking into the snow, according to the Snow Leopard Trust.
The humpback whales that flock to breeding grounds in Hawaii sing a 20-minute mating song that can be heard as far as 20 miles away. The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration is now considering removing the North Pacific population of the whales from the endangered species list. Their number has increased since the international community banned commercial (商业的) whaling nearly 50 years ago.
8. What can we learn from the first paragraph?

If you hear the sound of a mobile phone beeping in a bag or pocket, you could think that someone has received a text message. Text messaging, or texting, is the art of sending a short, electronic message between two mobile phones. The users should pay a certain amount to send messages via SMS — short message service. But in the last few years, with the development of smart phones, messaging in this way has been at a low ebb.
The rise of smart phones has seen an increase in the use of instant messaging apps. The apps offer a cheap alternative (替换) to traditional texts. Using wireless Internet connections, people can send a number of messages to their friends at a very low cost. Unlike traditional mobile texts, the users usually only have to pay to download the app once, after which each message they send is free.
Instant messaging apps have become popular all over the world. Hundredsof millions of people use the apps to chat with their friends. These apps allow people to send picture messages for free — something which previously was quite costly. Many of these apps also allow users to have access to a huge rangeof colorful emoticons (表情符), which can help people express their emotions.
The research company Informa said that almost 19 billion messages were sent per day using chat apps last year, compared with 17.6 billion SMS texts. And it expects the chat app market to grow to 50 billion per day by 2015. So does this really mean the end of communicating by texting?
Pamela Clark-Dickson from Informa doesn’t think so. She says that there are a large number of people who use normal mobile phones, particularly in developing countries and prefer the SMS messaging tool. For the moment, these users still find that SMS is the best messaging experience for them.
12. The underlined phrase “at a low ebb” can be replaced by “ ”.
A. on the increase B. on the decrease
C. in the end D. at the moment
13. What can we learn about instant messaging apps?
A. Normal mobile phones can be used to download the apps.
B. The apps enjoy high popularity in developing countries.
C. Only part of the messages sent by the apps are free of charge.
D. It will cost the users some money for downloading the apps.
14. Instant messaging apps won’t take the place of the SMS messaging tool soon in that .
A. there are a large number of people who enjoy using normal mobile phones
C. many people in developing countries can’t afford to buy smart phones
B. many people in developing countries don’t like instant messaging apps
D. instant messaging apps are only known to people in developed countries
15. In which section of an English newspaper will this text probably be found?
A. Science & Technology. B. Culture.
C. Entertainment. D. Health & Care.
第二节(共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分)
根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
Many people want to be thinner, but for some thin kids, they want to gain weight. Being laughed at is one reason they want to add pounds. 16 You might also practice what you will say back to someone who teases you. Don’t insult (侮辱) anyone. You maybe say, “That’s just the way I am. Everybody is different.” Having friends who back you up can help you feel braver and less alone.
17 The best advice is the same as that for all kids: Eat a healthy balance of foods. Get plenty of activity. Have enough sleep.
18 It can make you feel sick and unhealthy. Just listen to your appetite (胃口) and eat just as much as your body tells you to. If your size concerns you, talk with your parents. They can help figure out whether you should see a doctor.
Once in a while, a health problem can keep a kid from gaining weight. The kid usually goes to a doctor who can check things out or to a registered dietitian who has lots of tips on how to eat well. 19
Here’s another surprise. 20 A lot of people use exercise to keep their weight under control or to lose weight, but exercise serves many other purposes. Moving around helps you develop important skills. And it helps your body get stronger. Unless a kid has gone through puberty (发育期), weightlifting won’t build bigger muscles. It also could hurt bones and joints if it’s not done correctly.
A. Kids who are thin need to take more exercise.
B. Trying to gain weight by taking in extra calories is a bad idea.
C. If this happens to you, you can tell a grown-up who can help.
D. Kids who are thin sometimes feel like they aren’t the right size.
E. Small kids especially want to know how to help their bodies grow and develop.
F. But most of the time, thin kids don’t need to see a doctor or go on a special diet.
G. You might have friends the same age who weigh a lot more than you do.

One possible version:
Benefits of taking regular exercise
For various reasons, many students fail to take regular exercise. In fact, taking regular exercise benefits us a lot.
To begin with, exercise can help us control weight. When we engage in physical activity, we burn lots of calories. Secondly, regular physical activity can improve our muscle strength and endurance, which can keep us energetic. Thirdly, taking part in physical activity regularly can keep us away from a wide range of health problems to some extent. Finally, taking regular exercise makes us confident because we feel much better about ourselves after working out.
Therefore, to feel better, have more energy and keep fit, we should take exercise on a regular basis.
