A
During my first day at senior high school,I met my new teacher.She looked at me and said,“I am happy to have an international student in my class.” I was very excited.
One day,I came to the class about three minutes late,and she told me to write my name on a piece of paper and,beside it,the word “late”.In that way she could know I was late for the first time.At first,I was embarrassed and angry.Then I did not complain because she taught me an important lesson:time is very valuable(珍贵的).
I learned another important lesson during one of my classes—the day of the first exam.After I finished my exam,I did not review my answers because it was the end of the exam time.One week later,she returned my exam paper.I found that one of my answers was wrong.Even though the only choices were A,B and C,I chose D instead of C.I tried to explain my mistake to her,“I marked D though I knew C was the right answer.” However,she refused my request and told me,“I do believe you,but I am not going to forgive your mistake.This will encourage you to be more careful before you turn your papers in.” I was not expecting that from her,but she was completely right.

I work with Volunteers for Wildlife,a rescue and education organisation at Bailey Arboretum in Locust Valley.Trying to help injured,displaced or sick creatures can be heartbreaking;survival is never certain.However,when it works,it is simply beautiful.
I got a rescue call from a woman in Muttontown.She had found a young owl(猫头鹰) on the ground.When I arrived,I saw a 2- to 3-week-old owl.It had already been placed in a carrier for safety.
I examined the chick(雏鸟) and it seemed fine.If I could locate the nest,I might have been able to put it back,but no luck.My next work was to construct a nest and anchor it in a tree.
The homeowner was very helpful.A wire basket was found.I put some pine branches into the basket to make this nest safe and comfortable.I placed the chick in the nest,and it quickly calmed down.
Now all that was needed were the parents,but they were absent.I gave the homeowner a recording of the hunger screams of owl chicks.These advertise the presence of chicks to adults;they might also encourage our chick to start calling as well.I gave the owner as much information as possible and headed home to see what news the night might bring.
A nervous night to be sure,but sometimes the spirits of nature smile on us all!The homeowner called to say that the parents had responded to the recordings.I drove over and saw the chick in the nest looking healthy and active.And it was accompanied in the nest by the greatest sight of all — LUNCH!The parents had done their duty and would probably continue to do so.
27.What is unavoidable in the author’s rescue work according to paragraph 1
A.Efforts made in vain.
B.Getting injured in his work.
C.Feeling uncertain about his future.
D.Creatures forced out of their homes.
28.Why was the author called to Muttontown
A.To rescue a woman.
B.To take care of a woman.
C.To look at a baby owl.
D.To cure a young owl.
29.What made the chick calm down
A.A new nest.
B.Some food.
C.A recording.
D.Its parents.
30.How would the author feel about the outcome of the event
A.It’s unexpected.
B.It’s beautiful.
C.It’s humorous.
D.It’s discouraging.

When the Home Office says that it’s worrying about bars(酒吧)that encourage people to drink when they’re already drunk,it means that the problem of drinking is about people falling over in city centers. 31 However,the latter is a more difficult issue.
There are plenty of drunken people who are a bit unsteady going upstairs to bed and don’t break anything.The biggest change in their drinking habits is the increase in the drinking of wine,most of which is drunk at home.This is what will stop us becoming a 24-hour pub society. 32 The British are good at staying at home—most people now have informal dining kitchens,which encourage informal eating and drinking. 33 It doesn’t sound unreasonable,but the Department of Health would say that it adds up to a health problem.Yet this has become the cultural standard for all generations.The great rise in alcohol consumption(消费)from the 1980s is considered to be down to women drinking,partly reflecting their increasing importance as wage earners. 34
There is a strong connection between the economy and alcohol consumption in Britain.Today,the number of people who say that they don’t drink in this country is rising,probably because of incentives offered by insurance companies. 35
A.Why not have a nice meal and open a bottle of wine
B.Will British drinkers take any notice of the government
C.People are happy drinking at home,where they don’t pay pub prices.
D.Drinking at home seems safer for many women than going to a pub.
E.The change in attitudes to drunken driving in recent years shows that this can happen.
F.It’s probably the case that those who do drink are drinking more,possibly because of the recession(衰退).
G.What the Home Office is talking about is the link between drinking and social order,rather than drinking and health.

阅读下面短文,根据所给情节进行续写,使之构成一个完整的故事。
It’s unfair
Julia was an intelligent and hard-working girl,who often stayed up late,so she couldn’t get up early and was sometimes late for school.One morning when she came in late,Mr Sharp,her teacher,burst into anger.
Mr Sharp told her,“I’ll write to your father if you aren’t here on time tomorrow,”he told her.Julia didn’t expect him to do that because her parents were very strict with her.So she said sorry and promised that she would be on time from that moment on.
The next day she got up very early and went to school without breakfast.When the bell rang,she had been seated in the classroom.The door opened and the teacher came in.But it wasn’t Mr Sharp.It was Miss Young.Mr Sharp was on business,so she was taking his class instead.How disappointed Julia was!
The next morning Julia got up even earlier.After a quick breakfast she rushed to school.Just before she got to the school gate,she spotted a wallet lying on the ground.
She picked it up.“Whose is this ”she wondered.
As she stood there,she heard the first bell.“What shall I do ”She thought to herself.“I’ll turn in the wallet to the headmaster first,”she decided.And so she did.
