As I walked down the street on the first day in Dubai last year, the hot air mixed with my excitement, reminding me that I was now in a mysterious habitat. With the curiosity of wanting to try some Arabian food, I excitedly went to a local restaurant. Unexpectedly, an incident happened.
The guard standing outside the restaurant said to me, “Now it is the special festival for Muslims called Eid, during which Muslims go on fasting. Eating is banned before sunset.”“But I am only a tourist, not a Muslim. You could not restrict my liberty to have dinner,” I argued. He firmly answered, “The tradition of Islam is the same for everyone in Dubai. Once you step on the ground of Abu Dhabi, you should, and you must, obey the rule.”
Listening to his response, my disappointment turned into annoyance. As a person who knew nothing about Islam, I felt that their customs seemed quite unusual. Back to the hotel,I began to search for the information of Eid and came to know that every year there is a period of time that Muslims go on fasting until sunset. For Muslims, the fasting is to purify themselves both physically and mentally.
Glancing over the information about Eid, I felt guilty about getting annoyed with the guard. I realized that I should constantly understand and respect others’ customs and beliefs. Although sometimes the beliefs of people from various backgrounds are quite hard to accept, understanding the situation better before solving conflicts is much more effective. Only by truly accepting others’ customs could I learn from the value of their beliefs. I understood the importance of being determined to one’s belief, while at the same time learning to possess a passionate attitude towards others.
41．What did the author do on the first day in Dubai
A．He enjoyed a delicious Arabian meal.
B．He made an appointment with the guard.
C．He argued with a guard outside a local restaurant.
D．He stayed in the hotel because of the hot weather.
42．What does the underlined phrase“go on fasting” in Paragraph 2 mean
A．Clean the whole room. B．Stop eating in a period.
C．Refuse to eat in a day. D．Enjoy some entertainments.
43．How did the guard in the restaurant talk to the author
A．Enthusiastically. B．Rudely. C．Seriously. D．Impolitely.
44．Why do Muslims fast
A．Muslim fasting is to purify (净化) the body and soul.
B．No eating is allowed before sunset in Muslim countries.
C．Muslims feel guilty to eat before sunset.
D．They will be disappointed and annoyed when eating before sunset.
45．What can we infer from the last paragraph about the author
A．He apologized to the guard. B．He believed in Islam after the trip.
C．He regretted arguing with the guard. D．He changed Muslim customs and beliefs.
A new study has revealed that a prehistoric sea cow was the target of two different predators (捕食动物) — an ancient crocodile and a tiger shark, providing rare insights into the complex food chains from millions of years ago. The research, conducted by an international team of scientists and published in the Journal of Vertebrate Paleontology, uncovers one of the few known instances where a single prey (猎物) was attacked by many predators.
The sea cow, belonging to the extinct group Culebratherium, was first attacked by a crocodile. Evidence then shows that after the initial attack, the sea cow’s remains were searched by a tiger shark, a tooth of which was found near the unlucky animal’s neck.
“Have you seen the Batman movie There is a scene where he and Alfred are shooting bullets to try and figure out which specific type of bullet they are trying to find,” said Benites-Palomino, lead author of the research. “Our research was conducted in exactly the same way. We have these experiments in the wild where predators are attacking their prey, and then afterwards we try to compare which is the best scene for what we’re finding there.”
The find is particularly significant as it adds to the limited fossil record of multiple predators interacting with a single prey. Such interactions are common in today’s ecosystems, but are rarely documented in the fossil record, making this discovery an important piece of the puzzle in understanding ancient food webs.
“We have been unsure as to which animals would have served this purpose as a food source for multiple predators. Our previous research has identified sperm whales searched by several shark species, and this new research highlights the importance of sea cows within the food chain,” Benites-Palomino said in a statement.
The digging, directed by Marcelo Sanchez-Villagra, head of the Palaeontological Institute and Museum in Zurich, Switzerland, was both challenging and rewarding. The site was initially discovered by a local farmer who spotted unusual rocks, inspiring the team to investigate further and eventually unearth the sea cow fossils.
46．What do we know about the prehistoric sea cow
A．It reached the top of food chains. B．It is thought to have complex teeth.
C．It belongs to an endangered species. D．It was attacked by two different animals.
47．What does paragraph 3 mainly talk about
A．The scene of animal fights. B．The method of the research.
C．The introduction of a movie. D．The danger of the experiments.
48．What does the importance of the study lie in
A．Challenging the current ecosystems. B．Offering insights into ancient food webs.
C．Clarifying the misunderstanding of sea cows. D．Figuring out the link between man and nature.
49．What is the Marcelo’s attitude to this digging
A．Meaningful B．Indifferent C．Critical D．Objective
50．Which of the following is the best title for the text
A．The Batman Movie Inspired a Research B．A Puzzle in Complex Ancient Food Chains
C．Shark and Crocodile Ate Unlucky Sea Cow D．An Important Biological Discovery of a Farmer
It is always difficult when we are exposed to someone who has a different opinion than our own. When opinions differ, there is often a conflict. This is where much of the conflict with adults and teens begins. Therefore, it is important to always make the difference clear between fact and opinion. Opinions change, facts always remain the same.
I have found that it does absolutely no good to tell someone they’re wrong. I have found that to be more effective is to help someone see the consequences of their behavior for themselves. If you don’t know there is the cliff, why would you ever be concerned about being close to the edge
I dealt with a teen today who was involved in some gangster (歹徒) activities. This girl was raised in a good home with concerned parents. However, other interests have taken over in her life. Friends have become everything. These friends come from different families with different values. This is where the conflict has appeared in her life. The challenge for the rest of us is helping this girl see how and where her new interests will take her. We have felt mild success as relationships of trust are built and improved.
In the end, however, the teen has to make a choice regarding this conflict. It is important for adults to remember how serious this choice is. For some this can feel like a choice between life and death. It’s easy for the rest of us to be casual about this because the right choice seems so obvious to us. It is important to know it is much different to this young person who is still developing and searching. Therefore, it is important that the adult should do everything possible to help the teen be fully informed about the choice before them. Provide choices and show how making different choices will improve things and provide security for the teen now and in the future.
The choice to go with the crowd or with the few can be a very difficult one to make. I believe it is absolutely essential that we never give up on these kids. Our very own future is absolutely at a key point any time we advise and guide the youth.
51．From paragraph 1 we know the gap between father and son lies in that _________.
A．facts always remain the same
B．opinions are always different from facts
C．different opinions result from their conflict
D．they have a disagreement about the same fact
52．What contributes to the girl’s crime according to the text
A．Different values. B．Unconcerned parents.
C．Her poor family. D．Gangster activities
53．Adults should try their best to help teens make a choice regarding the conflict because _________.
A．the wrong choice will lead to complete failure in the future
B．the choice is difficult to make for still developing teens
C．the right choice is easy for adults to see and understand
D．the choice made by teens determines their life or death
54．Why should the adult never stop helping the teen according to the last paragraph
A．Because the teen won’t give up themselves.
B．Because the adults’ future is related to the youth’s development.
C．Because adults have more life experience than teens.
D．Because the teen’s future is in danger.
55．What is the author’s main purpose in writing this article
A．To propose an effective strategy to resolve conflicts of opinions from teenagers.
B．To criticize teenagers for being easily influenced by peers.
C．To highlight the life-and-death nature of teens’ choices.
D．To stress the importance of trust-building for adults.

Saving money is easy when you don’t have anything else to spend it on, but what should we do when things pop up that demand some of your hard-earned cash These are called expenses.
Chances are that most of your basic living expenses — food, shelter, clothing, medical care — are covered by your family. But perhaps you and your family have agreed that you’ll pay for certain other expenses out of your own money, such as cell phone minutes, after-school snacks, clothing and small jewelry, or club dues.
Expenses that happen regularly, like every week or month, are called “fixed” expenses. The good news is that you know when these expenses are coming, and you can plan for them. But life is full of surprises, and sometimes these surprises turn into expenses, too. You might have an emergency like fixing a flat tire on your bike, or just something unusual like the class trip. These are called “unexpected” expenses — and if you’re smart with your money, you’ll plan for these as well.

Can you think of any unexpected expenses that you had in the past or you might have in the near future In this case, you should track your cash flow by creating a cash flow journal in a notebook. That means you keep a record of every amount you earn, spend, and save. Thus we can have a clear idea about our earnings, expenses and savings. And then we can enjoy a sound sleep without any worry.

73． This year’s National Day holiday was made special by the Mid-Autumn Festival. I invited my classmate, Chris, the exchange student from the US, to my home, hoping he could feel the warmth of a family reunion and understand this important tradition.
The evening was truly enjoyable. My family welcomed Chris warmly. We shared a big dinner, during which my grandparents told us the story of Chang’e. Chris was especially curious about the mooncakes. I explained the meaning of the round shape — symbolizing family unity. Then, we went to the balcony, admiring the bright full moon while eating the sweet treats. Chris tried a red bean paste one and loved it.
It was a meaningful day. Not only did Chris experience Chinese culture firsthand, but I also felt proud to share our customs. The festival, indeed, is about happiness and sharing.
