I guess most of you have had an experience like it: it's the weekend, but instead of having a good rest, you have to bury yourself in the endless homework you have left over from the week. This was my routine too. But it came to an end during my school's “No Homework Weekend”.
The activity was announced two weeks in advance so we could get prepared. Students in my class did not have any homework on the special weekend, but students in other classes were not so lucky. There were also some teachers who told their students: “You don't have homework this weekend, but you do have a test next Monday.” This meant: “You don't have to prepare for the test during the weekend, but good luck if you don't!” Well, teachers will be teachers, I suppose.
I really made the most of those two days without homework. On Friday night, I stayed up chatting with my friends online because we didn't need to worry about homework. On Saturday, I watched a band concert, and on Sunday I had a god sleep and organized my notes. Normally I have so much regular homework that I do not have time to review and organize class notes. But on that weekend, I finally had time to do it.
No Homework Weekend was really a great time to release stress and take a look at what we had learned so far. I loved it and I hope my school holds more weekends like it in the future!
24. The writer often _________on weekends.
A. has a good rest B. watches movies
C. prepares for tests D. does lots of homework
25. According to the second paragraph, the writer's class __________ on the special weekend.
A. will not have any homework B. will have a special test
C. will have to prepare for the exam D. will have lots of books to read
26 The writer did NOT _________ on the special weekend.
A. watch a film B. sleep very well
C. organize the notes D. review the lessons
27. We know that the writer __________ about “No Homework Weekend”.
A. is worried B. seems happy C. doesn't care D. is surprised

Sometimes the stress of work can get to be so high, so it’s nice to get away for a while. However, even on vacation, it can be hard to leave all your worries at the office-especially when you think about the mountain of emails.
Iceland now offers a solution with a service called OutHorse Your Email. The service encourages visitors to disconnect and enjoy the country’s beauty while one of several highly trained Icelandic horses replies to any email. “When visitors travel to Iceland we want them to fully experience everything our nation has to offer,” one official said. “Our OutHorse Your Email service lets them do just that.”
To use the service, you should fill in a form on its website and your personalized out-of- office email will be written by one horse and sent automatically (自动地). The email explains the sender is away on vacation and that they’ve given their email jobs to one of Iceland’s four- legged animals. It then includes the message created by the animal. But how do horses type an email They’ve got their own specially designed horse-sized keyboards in the fields and are able to walk across the keys. However, that still doesn’t mean coherency (条理性). They’re horses, after all. The result is just meaningless collections of letters.
This might seem like a joke, but is actually meant seriously. Nowadays the line between private life and work has become unclear. The service draws attention to the fact that people have the right to be away from work during their holiday. It also sends a message that Iceland is a unique destination by helping tourists go on a real holiday. It’ll surely put a smile on their face and make them want to vacation in Iceland.
28. What is a problem that people face when they are on vacation according to the text
A. They prefer work to holidays.
B. They’re required to send emails.
C. They always keep their work in mind.
D. They feel uneasy without work at hand.
29. What can we know about the messages created by the horses
A. They do not make any sense.
B. They will be reviewed by the sender first.
C. They’re expected to make the receiver laugh.
D. They’re created in the style the sender requires.
30. How does the author feel about OutHorse Your Email
A. Advanced. B. Competitive. C. Educational. D. Meaningful.
31. What is the main purpose of the text
A. To show a way to develop the tourist industry.
B. To describe the new role of horses in travel.
C. To encourage people to travel in Iceland.
D. To introduce a new tourism service.
D
Remote controls (遥控) are one of the most common symbols of our modern technologies. In fact, remote controls are an invention born in the 1800s. Famous inventor Nikola Tesla created one of the world’s first wireless remote controls, which he showed for the first time at Madison Square Garden in New York City in 1898.
Tesla called his imperfect system a “tele-automaton”, as he thought he needed to ameliorate it further. Tesla used a tiny boat to show his invention. Tesla sent signals to the boat using a box — the remote control he invented. The signals produced by this box changed electrical contacts aboard the boat, which, in turn, adjusted the rudder (调整船舵), allowing the operator to control the boat’s way of moving. Financially, Tesla’s remote-controlled boats were a failure. His intended customer, the US Navy, thought the technology was too easily damaged for war. But the idea of remote control caught on and quickly spread to many other types of equipment.
In the 1930s and 1940s a few consumer electronics (消费类电子产品), such as garage (车库) door openers and model airplanes, arrived with remote controls. In the mid 1950s, Zenith engineer Eugene Polley invented his Flashmatic TV remote, which used directional flashes of light to control the television. In 1956, Polley’s colleague, Robert Adler, created the Space Command control, which used ultrasonic sound (超声) instead of light. And ultrasonic sound remotes were the standard for TVs until the 1980s, when remotes began to use the infrared light (红外光) signals that are most common today.
Remote controls have allowed humans to perform many tasks that would be difficult, if not impossible. And although remotes might have a long history, they are anything but over. As we continue to apply technology to our lives, it’s very likely that we’ll need remotes to keep things under control.
32. What does the underlined word “ameliorate” in Paragraph 2 probably mean
A. Decorate. B. Approach. C. Feature. D. Improve.
33. What was the purpose of Nikola Tesla in inventing remote controls
A. To control the TV set. B. To operate the tiny boat.
C. To sell them to the army. D. To raise money for the army.
34 How is Paragraph 3 mainly developed
A. By analyzing causes. B. By following time order.
C. By making comparisons. D. By describing an experiment.
35. What can we infer about remote controls
A. They’ll become very light.
B. They’ll control everything.
C. They’ll have more and more uses.
D. They’ll become cheaper in the future.

A Mother’s Heartfelt Note of Love
Everything seemed to have changed for me when I entered high school. I never saw a single person I knew from middle school. At home I was just as lonely. “My brothers and sister all fit in.” I thought, coming in the door after another bad day at school. “Why can’t I ”
Mom was there waiting for me. “Karole, your bedroom’s a disaster. Why can’t you keep it clean ” The last thing I needed was criticism from my mother. What had happened to the mother who used to snuggle（依偎）with me on the sofa, loving me with complete acceptance Who thought everything I did was wonderful I didn’t bother trying to explain my unhappiness. It was easier to hide in my bedroom, without saying a word, like I did every afternoon.
Clearing off some space, I sat down at my desk. Yet another thing I wasn’t good at anymore. My grades had slipped along with my confidence. I turned to a new page in my notebook and started working out the first problem. Almost immediately, I saw I’d made a mistake. “Wrong again!” I thought. “You can’t do anything right!” I tore the paper out of my notebook, balled it up in my fist and threw it at the wastepaper basket. The ball landed on the floor. I heard my mother’s voice in my head, “Why can’t you keep your room clean ”
By the time I finished my homework, the floor was littered with crumpled （弄皱的）paper. It gave me a kind of satisfaction to see the mess I’d made. Like it was proof of all my shortcomings. Every time I looked at those crumpled balls, I reminded myself what a failure I was. But my unhappiness stayed hidden away, just like those mistakes. With my face a mask of indifference, no one knew what I was really feeling. Who would want to listen
One day, I came home to an empty house. It was a relief not to be met with Mom’s latest complaint. “Nothing I do is right in her eyes.” I thought. “Or anyone else’s, including mine.”

作文2 （25 分）
When I opened my bedroom door, I froze at the sight of a neat and orderly room. Mom had obviously decided to clean it herself. I was surprised to see the clean floor below my bed. All the crumpled paper had disappeared except one. A single sheet lay in plain view. I picked up the sheet and recognized Mom’s perfect handwriting, saying “I have found that I have also been very critical of you lately. For that, I am truly sorry. I only expect that you are to be your same sweet self.”
I sat down at my desk, staring at those words. A weight seemed to lift from me. I realized that Mom still loved me the same way. When she got home, I found the confidence to let down my guard and talk to her about how I felt. She and my father teamed up to offer some ideas that might help, like joining after-school clubs. It seemed that everything changed in high school, but one heartfelt note set the stage for the rest of my teenage years.
