"Serena, don't forget your promise to me that you will mow（割）Mrs Matin's yard this weekend," said Dad, "Don't let me down." Serena was the oldest child in the family, and one of her chores was to mow their yard. Mrs Martin, their elderly neighbor, was unable to take care of her yard, so Serena's dad had volunteered Serena for this job.

Seeing the joy in Mrs Martin's eyes, Serena began to understand how much the yard meant to Mrs. Martin.

The New Year is a time for celebrations for almost everyone around the world. In Britain, people go to pubs and nightclubs to dance the old year away, and to welcome in the new one at midnight. Everyone wants to kiss someone special (boyfriend, girlfriend or even a complete stranger! ) as the bells ring out at midnight.
In recent years, street parties have become more popular. Hundreds or even thousands of people gather in squares, main streets or on the river banks to listen to bands playing and to see fabulous fireworks displays.
For people who stay at home, most watch special, live New Year shows on TV and countdown, along with the presenters, from 10 to I as the last seconds of the old year tick away and the bells of the New Year are rung.
In Scotland, on New Year's Eve, people visit their neighbours and drink, dance and generally have a good time. If you' re invited to a Scottish home, it's important to know what to bring with you: a lump of coal, some shortbread and some whisky.
The coal shows warmth so you' re wishing that the people you visit will have enough heat in the coming year. The shortbread represents food, so you' re hoping that the people will have enough to eat in the New Year. Some Scots call whisky "the water of life", so when you hand over your bottle to your hosts, it means you want them to have enough to drink over the next 12 months.
There's one more key task you still have to perform if you can. The first person to knock on a neighbour's door is supposed to be a tall, dark, handsome man. If you are, you'll bring good luck to the household. But what if that's not you Well, don't ring the bell just yet. Wait a while and the right person will turn up soon!
28. What is the best title for this passage
A. Seeing the old year off in Britain.
B. Celebrations of a Scottish New Year.
C. Visiting Scottish homes on New Year.
D. Sending good luck in the New Year.
29. We know from the passage .
A. British people hate to think of the old year and wish to dance it away quickly
B. Street concerts have become more popular on New Year's Eve
C. British people let off fireworks in public places to celebrate the New Year
D. People stay at home doing nothing but wait for the bell of the New Year to ring
30. Why do visitors take some things to a Scottish home on New Year's Eve
A. To share good food and warmth.
B. To help those poor families.
C. To send best wishes to the families.
D. To show respect and richness.
31. The underlined phrase "the right person" in the lost paragraph refers to .

Every year in May, art galleries and museums prepare shows to honour Leonardo da Vinci, who died in France on May 2, 1519. He is remembered as one of the greatest artists and the most creative thinkers of all time. His most famous paintings are Mona Lisa and The Last Supper.
Recently, researchers have been studying a painting--Landscupe 8P, which they think is Leonardo's earliest-known artwork. They used special lighting to study the artwork and discovered there were two images（图像）, not one. One drawing is on the back of the piece, which dates back to August 5,1473.
The drawing on the front was painted when Leonardo was 21 years old. It shows a river valley and a castle outside the city of Florence. There is little left of the drawing on the back, perhaps because it was wiped off. Only a bridge over a river can be seen. But there is writing on both sides.
The writing on the front gives the date and goes from right to left. Some people would call this "mirror writing". It's a way Leonardo often wrote in his notebooks. The writing on the back goes from left to right and tells an agreement, probably to produce a work of art.
Cecilia Frosinini is an art historian. She said, "By looking at his writing, including that from this drawing, we can see his right-handed handwriting is educated and well done."
Experts compared the two handwriting samples（样本）and said they were both made by Leonardo. They show he could write well using his left hand or his right hand.
The drawing is known as Landscape 8P from its number in an art list. It is part of an exhibit at Italy's Uffizi Gallery. The gallery-director, Eike Schmidt, said by studying the drawing researchers gave us a new way of looking at Leonardo's drawing technique and his abilities in writing.
32. Which of the following mentioned in the text has been studied by researchers recently
A. Mona Lisa. B. Landscape 8P.
C. Mirror-writing. D. The Last Supper.
33. What does the writing on the back probably show
A. A statement about the painting.
B. An introduction about Leonardo.
C. An agreement to produce a painting.
D. Something about the city of Florence.
34. What can we learn about Leonardo from the researchers' study
A. He could write with either of his hands.
B. He did badly in right-handed handwriting.
C. He wasn't good at writing with his left hand.
D. He taught himself to write with his right hand.
35. What's Eike Schmidt's attitude towards the research
A. Unclear. B. Indifferent. C. Doubtful. D. Positive.

Dottie's Thanksgiving Dinner
Dottie, a puppy, knew today was special. It was Thanksgiving and everyone was getting ready for a big dinner. The doorbell kept ringing as cousins, grandparents, uncles and aunts all came to visit.
Amazing smells were coming from the kitchen. Dottie was not allowed to be in the kitchen today. Mom said that she would get in the way. Dad said she would lick（舔） everything she could reach. They were both right.
The children had been asked to keep the dog out of the way. They did, at first. However, once their cousins arrived, they forgot about Dottie and started playing with each other. The dog got closer and closer to the kitchen. Everything smelled so good! On the edge of the table was a plate filled with slices of ham（火腿）. Before she had a chance to eat it, Dad saw her.
"No! Leave that alone, Dottie! No food for you," he said. Then he let the dog out into the yard where some family members were playing football. Dottie smiled. This was good! She liked running. She grabbed（抓住）the football from a small boy and wouldn't give it back. d He started to cry, and Dottie got in trouble.
"That's enough, Dottie," said Uncle Bill, taking the ball away from her. "Maybe you should go back in." He opened the door again, and the sad puppy went inside.
The puppy went into the dining room and no one was there. Dottie went under the table. The tablecloth was so long that it hung down to the ground. This was a good place for a sleep, she thought.
In the kitchen, everything was ready. Mom and Dad began carrying big bowls and plates of delicious food into the dining room. "Before we get started, we should take a family picture," suggested Mom. Dad agreed. They went to tell everyone to go outside for a Thanksgiving photo together.
Dottie's nose woke up before she did. She came out from under the table. She looked around. The house was empty. She remembered what Dad had said. "No food for you." He was wrong.

1.续写词数应为150左右；
