I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens, and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world. Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she’d said again, “it’s for Elizabeth. ”
I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.
They never happened. And a gulf（分歧） opened between us. I was “too emotional(易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface(表面)”.
As years passed I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive(原谅) me.
I posted the letter and waited for her answer. None came.
My hope turned to disappointment(失望), then little interest and, finally, peace— it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.
Now the present of her desk told, as she’d never been able to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside —a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded(折叠) and refolded many times.
Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose. Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.
( )32. The writer began to love her mother’s desk ______.
A. after Mother died B. before she became a writer
C. when she was a child D. when Mother gave it to her
( )33. The passage shows that ______.
A. mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter
B. mother was too serious about everything her daughter had done
C. mother cared much about her daughter in words
D. mother wrote to her daughter in careful words
( )34. What did mother do with her daughter’s letter asking forgiveness?
A. She had never received the letter.
B. For years, she often talked about the letter.
C. She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.
D. She read the letter again and again till she died.
( )35. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. My letter to Mother B. Mother and Children
C. My mother’s Desk D. Talks between Mother and Me

When my family moved to America in 2010 from a small village in Guangdong, China, we brought not only our luggage, but also our village rules, customs and culture. One of the rules is that young people should always respect(尊敬) elders. Unluckily, this rule led to me very first embarrassment in the United States.
I had a part-time job as a waiter in a Chinese restaurant. One time, when I was serving food to a middle-aged couple, the wife asked me how the food could be served so quickly. I told her that I had made sure they got their food quickly because I always respect the elderly. As soon as I said that, her face showed great displeasure. My manager, who happened to hear what I said, took me aside and gave me a long lecture about how sensitive(敏感) Americans are and how they dislike the description “old”. I then walked back to the table and apologized to the wife. After the couple heard my reason, they understood that the problem was caused by cultural differences, so they laughed and were no longer angry.
In my village in China, people are proud of being old. Not so many people live to be seventy or eighty, and people who reach such an age have the most knowledge and experience. Young people always respect older people because they know they can learn from their rich experience.
However, in the United States, people think “growing old” is a problem since “old” shows that a person is going to retire or that the body is not working well. Here many people try to keep themselves away from growing old by doing exercises or jogging, and women put on makeup, hoping to look young. When I told the couple(夫妇) in the restaurant that I respect the elderly, they got angry because this caused them to feel they had failed to stay young. I had told them something they didn’t want to hear.
After that, I changed the way I had been with older people. It is not that I don’t respect them any more; I still respect them, but now I don’t show my feelings through words.
By Jack
( )36. Jack brought the couple their food very fast because _______.
A. the manager asked him to do so B. he respected the elderly
C. the couple wanted him to do so D. he wanted more pay
( )37. When Jack called the couple “elderly”, they became _______.
A. nervous? B. satisfied C. unhappy D. excited

B. Jack wanted to show his feelings through words after his experience.
C. The manager went back to the table and apologized（道歉） to the couple.

Are you jealous of them? Are you grateful to them? Please think it over after reading the following text. You will probably learn a lot.
Once a zoologist worked on antelopes(羚羊)which were living on both sides of a river in South Africa. He discovered that the antelopes on the east side multiplied(繁殖)more and ran faster than those on the west.
The zoologist was puzzled(困惑的)after long thought about the differences. As the two groups of antelopes lived in the same environment and they fed on the same kind of grass.
One year, with the help of the Animal Protecting Society, he caught ten antelopes on each side and exchanged them. A year later, the ten antelopes sent to the west bank multiplied by fourteen while only three remained of the ones sent to the east. Where were the other seven? They had been eaten by wolves!
At last the zoologist understood why the antelopes on the east were stronger. That was because on the east side there were a group of wolves-their natural enemy!
Now everything is plain sailing in your life. It is your opponents(对手)that are improving you indeed. So thanks must go to your opponents. It's true!

One morning more than thirty years ago, I entered the Track Kitchen, a restaurant where everyone from the humblest(卑微的)to the most powerful came for breakfast. I noticed an empty chair next to an elderly, unshaven man, who looked somewhat disheveled. He was wearing a worn-out hat and was alone. I asked if I might join him. He agreed quietly and I sat down to have my breakfast. We cautiously(小心翼翼) began a conversation and spoke about a wide rang of things. We never introduced ourselves.

We talked more, and he accepted another cup of coffee. Finally, I rose to leave, wished him well, and headed for the exit. At the door I met one of my friends. He asked, “How did you get to know Mr. Gal breath?” “Who?” “The man you were sitting with. He is the chairman of the Board of Churchill Downs.” I could hardly believe it.

I was 10 the year my cousin Marley’s parents gave her a painful Christmas surprise: they were getting a divorce(离婚). My aunt went to California, but my uncle decided to get her back. There was one matter: where to put his young daughter. Fortunately, my mother loved Marley, giving her more attention than her family ever did.
On that Christmas Eve, my cousin arrived on our doorstep carrying an old blue suitcase. Before she stepped inside, Marley said, “It doesn’t matter. When my parents come back, we’ll have a bigger Christmas than this.”
Late on the night Marley arrived, my mom came into my room, her arms filled with packages.I knew they were my Christmas presents. “I know how you love surprises but we have to decide which ones to give to Marley.”
My mother carefully opened the gifts. Wow! I saw ice skates, red leather gloves and a dollhouse. The last present was the music box we’d asked the lady at the local store to take down and play for us over and over again.
“Which ones?” my mother asked. “She can have the ice skates,” I said reluctantly(勉强地). “That’s good,” my mother said. She began to tape the packages up again.

If you are reading this article in class, you are probably trying to read it quickly. You have been taught to skim and scan, to look for key words so as to understand the main idea and the important points in the article. Skimming and scanning is a good way when you are taking an exam. But, today, many people skim and scan everything and they have lost the ability to enjoy reading.
Now something called the “slow reading movement” has become popular. The idea is that people should shut off their computers and mobile phones for half an hour or forty-five minutes each day and enjoy the pleasures of reading a good book—slowly! In many cities there are even slow reading clubs where members go to a café, sit quietly, drink coffee and just read.
Researchers have found that reading slowly, helps people concentrate and relax. Reading, of course, isn't easy. You have to sit still, for one thing. And it can seem boring when compared to the excitement of playing video games. But, for me, reading has been an enduring pleasure in my life. From the age of ten, when I got my first library card, I’ve enjoyed thousands of interesting people I would have never met in real life. Reading helped me to understand the world around me. It was an education in a classroom that had no walls.
In your classroom, you have learned to read “fast”. Outside the classroom, you should try to learn to read “slow”. You may be surprised at how much you enjoy it.
45. According to the passage, what is a good way of reading when taking an exam?
A. Skimming and scanning.
B. Thinking over carefully.
C. Understanding the main idea.
D. Reading carefully and slowly.
46. Which of the following is NOT the idea for the "slow reading movement"?
A. Sit quietly and just read.
B. Enjoy reading a good book.
C. Talk about the books you like together.
D. Shut off your computers and mobile phones.
47. What does the underlined word "people" mean?
A. Students in the classroom.
B. Characters from the books.
C. Persons in the writer's real life.
D. Members from slow reading clubs.
48. What is the best title of the passage?
A. Slow reading movement
B. Advantages of fast reading
C. Enjoy skimming and scanning
D. Slow reading and fast reading

When the great library of Alexandria burned, the story went, one book was saved. It was not a valuable book, and so a poor man who could read very little bought it for a few coins. Between its pages there was something very interesting. It was a thin paper on which was written the secret of the touchstone!
The touchstone was a small pebble(卵石) that could turn any common metal into gold. The writing explained that it was lying among thousands of other pebbles that looked exactly like it. But the secret was this: The real stone would feel warm, while common pebbles were cold.
So the man camped on the beach and began testing pebbles.
He thought that if he picked up common pebbles and put them down again, he might pick up the same pebble hundreds of times. So, when he felt one that was cold, he threw it into the sea.
He spent a whole day doing this but none of them was the touchstone.
The days became weeks and the weeks into months. One day, however, he picked up a pebble and it was warm. He threw it into the sea before he realized what he had done. He had formed such a strong habit of throwing each pebble into the sea. So when the one he wanted came along, he still threw it away.
So it is with chances. Unless we are careful, it’s easy to fail to catch a chance when it is at hand. And it’s just as easy to throw it away.
49. The poor man bought the book because .
A. it was very cheap
B. it was of great value
C. there was a secret in the book
D. he wanted to find the touchstone
50. According to the story, the touchstone .
A. is a big pebble B. feels cold
C. is magic D. is gold
51. The man threw pebbles into the sea .
A. to test how far he could throw
B. to practice throwing pebbles
C. to avoid picking up the same pebble
D. to express his disappointment
52. What does the story want to tell us?
A. Careful habits can lead to success.
B. Habits can help you but also hold you back.
C. Never make a decision by its look.
D. Chances only visit the ready and careful mind.

A small man with a fat stomach got on the train at the last station before the frontier (边境). He carried a paper bag. And four feet ducks could be seen under the cover. The man found an empty seat, put the bag in the middle of the floor, took out a newspaper and began to read. Then a policeman came in. Of course he saw the bag with ducks’ legs at once and said, “Whose is that bag?” Nobody answered. The policeman repeated the question, and said, “I’ll have to take it away from the owner. Food mustn't be taken out of the country.” “Well, then,” said the small man with a fat stomach, “Hurry up and take it.

Many animals have special skills that make them perfect for certain jobs - even better than humans!
Take a train ride in Japan and you may meet Tama, a cute, friendly stationmaster, who just happens to be a cat! This 11-year-old cat works in exchange for cat food at Wakayama Electric Railway's Kishi station. She has her own office, and there's even a Tama train! When Tama was "hired*" in 2007, the station was losing money, but today, thanks to Tama, it's a popular place for tourists to visit.
In the 1950s, US Navy* officials got a great idea. Why not train dolphins to do some special work humans can't do? Today, dolphins are trained to find underwater mines* so that the Navy officials can make the mines disabled before they explode*. Dolphins are well suitable for the job for many reasons, but the best of all, they're too small to set off the mines so they're never in danger.
Most squirrels are happy to collect nuts, and run after each other up and down trees. Not Twiggy! She prefers water skiing. Twiggy comes from a team of water-skiing squirrels, whose owner trained them to ski behind a toy boat. Today, Twiggy travels around the United States putting on shows and even appearing on TV. It's all in a day's work for this squirrel!
29. How long has Tama been the stationmaster?
A. For 5 years.
B. For 9 years.
C. For 10 years.
D. For 11 years.
30. Why are dolphins trained to find underwater mines?
A. They are quite good at swimming in the sea.
B. They are so smart that they're never in danger.
C. They are small enough not to set off the mines.
D. They can understand the officials' orders easily.
31. What is Twiggy's job?
A. Collecting nuts.
B. Running after others.
C. Performing water skiing.
D. Traveling around the world
32. What do these animals have in common?

You want to run across the street to catch the bus which is leaving soon? But wait! You’d better not. If a policeman sees you, you’ll have to pay a fine（罚款）. New traffic laws say that if people cross the street when the light is red, they can be fined as much as 50 yuan.
Traffic accidents killed more than 104,000 people in China last year. Chinese cities have more cars than ever. Drivers and pedestrians must work together to make the streets safer.
The law has new rules for drivers and pedestrians. Drivers have to slow down when they are close to crosswalks. If people are in a crosswalk, cars must stop to let them pass.
There are rules for bus drivers, too. If bus drivers smoke, drink or make phone calls while driving, they can be fined. Buses that carry too many people are also against the law.
Pedestrians will have to walk more safely under the new law. They must cross streets at crosswalks. Also, they shouldn’t climb over the fences（栅栏)along streets.
Do you bike to school? It’s not a good idea to carry classmates on the back. You could be fined 50 yuan. And stay in the bike lane（慢车道）when you’re riding. The big roads are for cars and buses.
Do you like to ride your uncle’s motorbike? When you put on your helmet（头盔）, ask him to put one on, too. People on motorbikes must wear helmets, the new law says. If they don’t, they’ll have to pay 200 yuan.
Do you ride in cars often? Don’t forget to put on your seat belt（安全带）, even if you’re going for a short taxi ride. It could save your life.
If you see a hit-and-run（肇事逃逸）, tell the police. They may give you a reward （奖赏). And don’t be afraid to help people to the hospital if they are hurt in an accident. Don’t worry about money. The new law says that doctors must take care of them even if they can’t pay right away.
According the new traffic laws, run across the street when the light is red, you will
_______.
A. be in danger B. be fined C. stop the traffic D. see a policeman

April will bring a new product–the Apple Watch–into the market. Last week, the watch was firstly introduced by Tim Cook, Apple's CEO. The price of the watch will differ from $349 to $1,099, depending on its size, strap and whether it is a sports or regular version.
Apple engineers and designers have put in a lot of thought and hard work into creating this "small screen" on your wrist(手腕). The "sensor" on the screen not only detects your finger, but knows the difference between when you are tapping, and when you are pressing harder.
The watch also has “haptic feedback(触觉反馈)”. You can send personal messages to your friend, such as drawing a star or a special sign with your fingers, or tapping the watch, say 3 times, and your friend will receive those taps on their wrist.?
Besides telling the time, the watch will use 'bluetooth' to connect with your iPhone and show calls or text messages that come in.
According to Tim Cook, the watch may open up a whole new area of applications that we had never thought of.?Some car factories like BMW have developed an app that allows its car owners to open their cars with the watch. A 'Hotels' app may allow you to open the door to your hotel room without worrying about losing the smart-card. And finally, even airlines are jumping may be able to simply wave their wrist to check into their flight.
The biggest use of the watch, however, is as your personal fitness coach. The watch can measure your pulse (heartbeat) using a sensor at the bottom of the watch. It also has the same "accelerometer" as your iPhone, so it knows when you are moving, and also how much you are walking or running. It will remind you if you have been sitting for too long without much activity.
Many stores are planning to stop selling the Nike, Jawbone and FitBit devices(设备) to welcome the Apple Watch. Will Apple Watch really replace these devices and make fitness much more fun?
42. We can learn from the passage that the Apple Watch ________.
A. is designed by Tim Cook B. was brought into the market last week
C. sells at different prices for different colours D. will come into the market this coming April
43. With apple watch, you can ________.
A. develop your own personal app

My teenage son Karl became withdrawn(孤僻的)after his father died. As a single parent, I tried to do my best to talk to him. But the more I tried, the more he pulled away. When his report card arrived during his junior year, it said that he had been absent 95 times from classes and had six falling grades for the year. I considered he would never graduate. I sent him to the school adviser, and I even begged(恳求)him. Nothing worked.
One night I felt so powerless that I got down on my knees and pleaded for help. "Please God, I can't do anything more for my son. I'm at the end of my rope. I'm giving the whole thing up to you."
I was at work when I got a phone call. A man introduced himself as the headmaster. "I want to一talk to you about Karl's absences." Before he could say another word, I choked up (硬咽)and all my disappointment and sadness over Karl came pouring out into the ears of this stranger. "I love my son but I just don't know what to do. I've tried everything to get Karl to go back to school and nothing has worked. It's out of my hands. "For a moment there was silence on the other end of the line. The headmaster seriously said, "Thank you for your time" and hung up.
Karl's next report card showed a marked improvement in his grades. Finally, he even made the honor roll. In his fourth year, I attended a parent-teacher meeting with Karl. I noticed that his teachers were quite surprised at the way he had turned himself around. On our way home, he said, “Mum, remember that call from the headmaster last year?" I nodded. "That was me. I thought I'd play a joke but when I heard what you said, it really hit me how much I was hurting you. That's when I knew I had to make you proud."

A team of US psychologists(心理学家)have found that talking to another person for ten minutes a day helps with memory.
"Socializing(交际)is just as useful as more traditional kinds of mental(脑力的) exercises in boosting memory and intellectual performance,” Oscar Ybarra, a psychologist at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a statement.
In one investigation, they analyzed data on 3610 people, aged 24 to 96.
They find that the higher their level of social interaction(交流), the better their cognitive(认知的)functioning. Social interaction includes getting together or having phone chats with relatives, friends and neighbors.
In another experiment, the researchers conducted laboratory tests on 76 college students, aged 18 to 21, to evaluate(评估)how social interactions and mental exercises influenced the results of memory and intellectual performance tests.
The students were divided into three groups: the social interaction group had a discussion of a social issue for 10 minutes before taking the tests; the mental activities group completed three tasks (including a reading comprehension exercise and a crossword puzzle) before the tests; and a control group(对照组)watched a 10-minute film of the Seinfeld television show.
"We found that short-term social interaction lasting for just 10 minutes improved the students' intellectual performance as much as working on so-called ‘mental' activities for the same amount of time,” Ybarra said.
The study was expected to be published in the February issue of the journal Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin.
( )37. What does the underlined word “boosting" in the second paragraph probably mean?
A. Improving. B. Reducing. C. Preventing. D. Training.
( )38. Which is not included in social interaction?
A. Having a talk with a neighbor. B. Attending a birthday party.
C. Watching TV at home alone. D. Calling your classmates.
( )39. What's the purpose of the experiment on 76 college students?
A. To judge the influence of social interaction on memory and intelligence.
B. To find out what is real social interaction.
C. To learn how much time is needed for social interaction.
D. To show the fun_ction of people's cognition.
( )40. What's the main idea of the passage?
A. Mental exercises make your memory better.

In 1970 the group made their first record with the name of “I Want You Back”．It was very popular. One of their hit records was “Never Say Goodbye”．
Michael was good at dancing as well as singing，for example，his dance moves and moon walking. He was asked to act in a film in 1978 for the first time，and in the same year he made a record on his own，which sold eight million copies all over the world.
Michael nearly didn’t go out because he was too famous. Once his fans went off in a faint(晕倒) when they saw him at the concert. No one can do it by now. He lived in a large house and kept lots of animals. He never ate meat. He often raised money for Charity. This made him win the Guinness World Records(吉尼斯世界记录)in 2006.He died on June 25th,2009，but he would live in our heart forever.
