三、阅读理解：本大题共8小题，共16分。
A
Dear Sir/Madam,
①It is now common to go online in the home, yet a recent survey showed that ninety-five percent of parents do not know what websites their children visit. I strongly believe that a training project should be started to help parents to improve their Internet and computer skills so that they can better monitor and guide their children.
②One advantage of providing training is that it would get parents to pay more attention to their children's online activities. If they had a better understanding of the Internet, they would see the need to make sure that their children use it properly and responsibly.
③Another argument for providing training to parents is that it would allow parents to help their children with their schoolwork. These days, a lot of homework needs to be done on computers. If parents have poor computer skills, they will be of little or no help with homework, which can make them upset. Some people argue that it is good that students can work independently on computers. However, it is clear that students, especially young students, often need this kind of home support.
④Improving parents' Internet and computer skills might also be a good way for parents to improve their relationships with their children. These days, children spend a lot of their free time on computers. If parents want to be part of that free time, they need to see that playing on computers can be a fun family activity. Joining their children can help parents bridge the generation gap(代沟) between them and their children.
⑤I strongly believe that children need to be helped and guided to use the Internet in a proper and responsible way, and so training is extremely important.
Yours faithfully,
Pat Chart

It was January 1st, the first day of the year and a holiday for me. I went to the bank. The bank clerk just nodded to me politely and said "Happy New Year!" when I sat in front of him.
After a few minutes he took my form (表格) and started filling it out. After waiting for a few more minutes, I showed all signs of being impatient. I asked him if my work was done. He shouted even without looking at me, "Nothing is done, and it will take time!"
Just then I saw his morning tea, which had been lying there for ten minutes, untouched. The tea had turned almost cold while he was doing his work.
Out of concern (关心) I told him, "Sir, please have your tea. I'm not in a hurry." He suddenly looked up at me and for the first time we had eye contact. I thought both of us understood each other at that time. He gave me a smile and said, "I spend every day like this—you are not in a hurry but somebody else will be in a hurry." He really touched my heart with his wise words. All this time I had thought of him as a robot who was there for my convenience (方便), but at that moment I suddenly realized I should be more friendly to people who helped me and thank him for the special gift on New Year's Day.

四、任务型阅读-简答：本大题共1小题，共10分。
34. Trees live on the earth much earlier than humans. They help to keep the air clean, reduce noise pollution, improve water quality, give us food and provide building materials.
Trees change a lot when they grow like a person. Young trees learn to protect themselves during the first three years. For example, some trees grow thorns(刺) so that animals can't hart their skins. Most trees have large, deep green leaves to catch sunlight and change it into their food and energy.
Trees grow rapidly and become strong enough at the age of four. Trees become young men when they are fifteen years old. At this period, they grow more slowly and produce flowers and fruits.
A tree can grow up like a real man when it is twenty to twenty-five years old. The tree has its largest size. The tree can give us a place to nap, read a book, listen to music or drink tea. From now on, a tree begins to grow older and older and even die. But a tree is still important in nature. It provides food for many other animals.
In many ways, the life of the tree is the same as us. From the life of a tree, we have learnt that each period of life brings us different joy and experience.
根据短文内容，回答问题。
(1) How many parts of advantages can trees provide us according to the first paragraph _______________________________________________________
(2) What do some trees grow thorns for _____________________________
(3) How do the trees get their food and energy __________________________
(4) When can trees grow up like real men ____________________________
(5) What can you get from the passage _____________________________

35.根据短文内容及所给提示，补全文中单词或用所给单词的正确形式填空。
Do you want to understand body language Then why not start by looking at other animals
Why B (1) humans are just another kind of animal.
Animals show their feelings w (2) their faces and bodies—if they show their teeth and raise their backs, that m (3) they're angry. Humans do many of these things, too. If you want to tell whether someone is happy or angry, (4) (relax) or nervous, just look (5) them. Words are not always necessary.
We only have to watch our pets to see how close animals' and human body language is. When a cat is feeling (6) (confidence), it will stand very tall and point its nose to the air. Humans do the same thing when they are (7) (feel) proud. They lift their heads and push out their chins. Chimpanzees (黑猩猩) usually slap (拍) their (8) (friend) hand or back when they meet, just like we greet each other by shaking hands.
So you see, (9) (study) animal gestures is very important. We can learn more about (10) (we) from animals' body language.
