Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
As a boy growing up in India, I had longed to travel abroad. I used to listen to the stories my father would tell me about his stay in Canada and tours to Europe in the 1970s, with great interest.
My big moment finally came in the summer of 1998 when I was able to accompany my parents to Europe, where my father was to attend a meeting. We planned to travel to Belgium, Netherlands and West Germany.
I have vivid memories even today of going to Mumbai airport at night all excited about finally going abroad. I had heard several great things about Lufthansa till then but now I finally got to experience them first hand, during the flight to Frankfurt. We flew business class and even today I can remember the excellent service by the Lufthansa crew. The flight was really smooth and thoroughly enjoyable, even for someone like me, who is otherwise scared of flying.
After spending almost two weeks in Europe, we took the Lufthansa airport express from Dusseldorf to Frankfurt airport, for our return flight. What a journey that was! All along the Rhine (莱茵河), it was simply an unforgettable experience. I was in a sombre mood on the flight back to Mumbai as it marked the end of a wonderful vacation, but the Lufthansa crew members were able to change it into a most enjoyable experience yet again, with the quality of their service.
Being the first airline to take me overseas, Lufthansa will always hold a special place in my heart. Even today, I continue to enjoy flights on Lufthansa and simply cannot dream of choosing any other airline. Flying, in general, for me, has always been an ordeal (terrible and painful experience). Flying on Lufthansa, however, is something I always have and always will look forward to.
【文章大意】 本文是一篇记叙文。作者给我们讲述了他第一次去欧洲的难忘旅行。
1．Which country does the author live in now?
A．India. B．Canada.
C．Belgium. D．Germany.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段首句以及最后一段“Being the first airline to take me overseas...”可分析，作者生活的国度是在印度(India)。故选A。

A．The author traveled with one of his parents.
B．Both their going and return are by air.
C．They traveled in spring that year.
D．They stayed in Europe for nearly two months.
解析：细节理解题。A项错在与事实“和父母双亲一起去的”不符；C项错在与事实“他们是在夏季去的”不符；D项错在与事实“在欧洲待了两个星期”不符。B项与文章吻合，故选B。

A．a city in India B．a city in Europe
C．an airline company D．a travel agency
解析：推理判断题。通过后三段内容不难看出，此为一家航空公司的名称(德国汉莎航空公司)。故选C。

答案：B
B
In ancient Egypt, the pharaoh (法老) treated the poor message runner like a prince when he arrived at the palace, if he brought good news. However, if the exhausted runner had the misfortune to bring the pharaoh unhappy news, his head was cut off.
Shades of that spirit spread over today's conversations. Once a friend and I packed up some peanut butter and sandwiches for an outing. As we walked lightheartedly out the door, picnic basket in hand, a smiling neighbor looked up at the sky and said, “Oh boy, bad day for a picnic. The weatherman says it's going to rain.” I wanted to strike him on the face with the peanut butter and sandwiches. Not for his stupid weather report, for his smile.
Several months ago I was racing to catch a bus. As I breathlessly put my handful of cash across the Greyhound counter, the sales agent said with a broad smile, “Oh, that bus left five minutes ago.” Dreams_of_head-cutting!
It's not the news that makes someone angry. It's the unsympathetic attitude with which it's delivered. Everyone must give bad news from time to time, and winning professionals do it with the proper attitude. A doctor advising a patient that she needs an operation does it in a caring way. A boss informing an employee he didn't get the job takes on a sympathetic tone. Big winners know, when delivering any bad news, they should share the feeling of the receiver.
Unfortunately，many people are not aware of this. When you're tired from a long flight, has a hotel clerk cheerfully said that your room isn't ready yet? When you had your heart set on the toast beef, has your waiter merrily told you that he just served the last piece? It makes you as traveler or diner want to land your fist right on their unsympathetic faces.
Had my neighbor told me of the upcoming rainstorm with sympathy, I would have appreciated his warning. Had the Greyhound salesclerk sympathetically informed me that my bus had already left, I probably would have said, “Oh，that's all right. I'll catch the next one.” Big winners, when they bear bad news, deliver bombs with the emotion the bombarded (被轰炸的) person is sure to have.
【文章大意】 作者用法老对信使的态度引出下面的话题，给我们讲的是在给别人传递坏的消息的时候，要注意方式准确和得体的重要性。

A．friendly B．warm-hearted

Ⅴ.阅读七选五
Birth order plays a vital role in deciding the characteristics of a child. And when it comes to the middle child, it certainly plays a huge role. The middle children go through some things only they can understand. __1__
Mostly, middle children have to share a room. __2__ They need to share a room with an elder one because they're too young to sleep alone. And just when they think they'll finally have a room of their own, a voice is heard saying, “Dear, please share the room with your younger one, as he's too small to sleep alone.”
Middle children tend to share clothes with their siblings (兄弟姐妹). Their cupboard is full of hand-medowns from their older sibling, and they need to wear his clothes. __3__ They can always show off their elder sibling's clothes and things at school. Also, they get to pass their own clothes to their younger sibling.
__4__ They're liked by both, because they can relate well to both generations. On one hand they can recall how much fun it was watching Garfield and Friends, and on the other hand they can talk about the latest video game released in the market.
Siblings' talking is one interesting thing about a middle child. They are not as boring as they appear. __5__ Also, thanks to the divided attention at home, middle children are independent and need not rely on anyone.
A．Instead, they are very artistic and creative.
B．But this comes with its own advantage too.
C．Here are some things a middle child can relate to.
D．They rarely enjoy the experience of having their own room.
E．And the dream of having their own room is completely destroyed.
F．They're the problem solvers between their older and younger siblings.
G．As a middle kid, they are the bridge between their younger and older siblings.
【文章大意】 本文为说明文。本文介绍了出生在中间的孩子在生活中不同于别的孩子的一些特点。
1．C 本空承上启下，下文即是只有中间的孩子才能体会到的事。
2．D 本空是对上句“have to share a room”的解释说明。
3．B 下文即是穿哥哥姐姐的衣服的优势。
4．G 本空为本段的主旨。由下句“They're liked by both, because they can relate well to both generations.”可知，中间的孩子是兄弟姐妹之间的桥梁。
5．A A项的“artistic and creative”与本空前的“not as boring as they appear”呼应。

【文章大意】 本文通过“我”——一个八岁孩子的所见所闻，介绍了庆祝二战胜利的“胜利日”的情景，以及人们对和平的渴望。愿世界永无战争。
1．B 根据空后的“when the war in Europe ended”及后文“V-Day”“bonfire”可知应是对二战“胜利”的庆祝。

4．D 解析见第2题。

6．B 此处是指很明显，战前的“情况”好一些。things意为“情况，形势”，符合题意。
7．A 战前的好处“除了”没有轰炸和人们可以吃一些“我”“仅仅”听说过的食品之外，对一个孩子来说就没有其他任何的概念了。except that“除了”；now that“既然”；for fear that“唯恐”；in order that“为了”。
8．C 解析见上题。
9．B 根据后文“I did not remember what London was like.”可知，回伦敦对“我”来说几乎没有任何意义。
10．A remember about“记得关于……的事情”。
11．B 要“building an enormous bonfire”当然要收集“木头”(wood)。
12．C 根据“with my key”可知是“用钥匙开门进屋”，故选C项。show sb.in“把某人带进来”；allow sb.in“允许某人进入”；call sb.in“把某人叫进来”。
13．B 根据“It was May”及常理可知外面“光线(daylight)”还很亮。
14．A 由下文可知“我”想要去“看(see)”篝火。
15．A 根据第11空后的“an enormous bonfire”可知，篝火一定很“高(high)”。
16．D 此处是指人们收集旧衣服是给“希特勒”穿的。
17．C 火当然是越烧越旺，越烧越高。
18．C “我”站在父亲身边一直到“火(fire)”势开始小下来。
19．A 根据后文“remembered everything he had experienced”可知作者的父亲参加过第一次世界大战，记着他所经历的一切。
20．D 此处是说让我们希望这次战争真的是“最后(last)”一次了。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
I grew up in a house where the TV was seldom turned on and with one wall in my bedroom entirely lined with bookshelves, most of my childhood was spent on books I could get hold of. In fact, I grew up thinking of reading as natural as breathing and books unbelievably powerful in shaping perspectives (观点) by creating worlds we could step into, take part in and live in.
With this unshakable belief, I, at fourteen, decided to become a writer. Here too, reading became useful. Every writer starts off knowing that he has something to say, but being unable to find the right ways to say it. He has to find his own voice by reading widely and discovering which parts of the writers he agrees or disagrees with, or agrees with so strongly that it reshapes his own world. He cannot write without loving to read, because only through reading other people's writing can one discover what works, what doesn't and, in the end, together with lots of practice, what voice he has.
Now I am in college, and have come to realize how important it is to read fiction (文学作品). As a law student, my reading is in fact limited to subject matter—the volume (量) of what I have to read for classes every week means there is little time to read anything else. Such reading made it all the clearer to me that I live in a very small part in this great place called life. Reading fiction reminds me that there is life beyond my own. It allows me to travel across the high seas and along the Silk Road, all from the comfort of my own armchair, to experience, though secondhand, exciting experiences that I wouldn't necessarily be able to have in my lifetime.
【文章大意】 作者在文章中用自己的亲身经历告诉我们阅读的重要性：阅读给我们打开了生活中的一扇窗户。

A．He never watched TV.
B．He read what he had to.
C．He found reading unbelievable.
D．He considered reading part of his life.

答案：D
2．The underlined word “voice” in the second paragraph most probably means “________”．
A．an idea B．a sound quality
C．a way of writing D．a world to write about
解析：词义猜测题。根据前一句“Every writer starts off knowing...right ways to say it.”每一个作家都知道他们有话要说，但是有时却找不到正确的方法把要说的话说出来。根据本句“He has to find his own voice by reading widely”可知要通过广泛阅读找到自己的表达思想的方法，所以本句中的voice就是指作者的写作方法。故C正确。
答案：C
3．What effect does reading have on the author?
A．It helps him to realize his dream.
B．It opens up a wider world for him.
C．It makes his college life more interesting.
D．It increases his interest in worldwide travel.
解析：推理判断题。根据文章最后两句“Reading fiction reminds me...”可知阅读让自己跳出小圈子，让自己了解到更多的知识，给作者打开了另外一个世界。故B正确。
答案：B
4．Which of the following can be the best title of this text?
A．Why do I read? B．How do I read?
C．What do I read? D．When do I read?
解析：标题归纳题。作者在文章第一段中介绍了自己的童年就是在阅读中度过的，接着又介绍了阅读的重要作用，阅读让自己领略了外面的世界。所以本文主要告诉我们为什么我们要阅读。故A正确。
答案：A

1．________ 2.________ 3.________ 4.________
5．________ 6.________ 7.________ 8.________
9．________ 10.________
答案与解析：
【文章大意】 两个人商量去运动，并且决定要长期坚持锻炼。
1．came 这里用一般过去时与时间状语“just this morning”相呼应，故用come的过去式。
2．Shall 这里用第一人称的问句表示提议，用shall，此处建议早上去打篮球或者踢足球。
3．It/That 这里用it/that指代前面提到的建议。
4．have been taking 这里表示在较长的时间里一直在做某事，故用现在完成进行时。
5．why 这里用why来引导定语从句，the reason why...表示“……的原因”。
6．case in this case表示“在这种情况下”，故本空填名词case。
7．Sticking 这里用提示词stick的现在分词形式作状语。
8．the most 从句意和提示词来看，这里用make the most of表示“充分利用”。
9．a 这里用不定冠词a来修饰plan这个单数名词，表示泛指。
10．buried bury oneself in sth.意为“专心致志于某事”，这里用过去分词作get的宾补。

【文章大意】 作者在文章中告诉我们人生中有得必有失，要学会放弃，包括个人的青春、美丽、和朋友在内的一切；如果失去，必然有相应的事物来代替。而作者年老多病的父亲却教给了作者一个道理：他放弃了一切一无所获，但是得到了家人的爱。告诉我们不要斤斤计较，要以爱心来对待一切，面对生活，让自己的内心平和。
1．A 我从父亲那里学会了顺其自然，然而父亲不是在身体健康的时候教会我的，而是在他病重的时候告诉我的。上下文之间是转折关系，故A正确。
2．C 见上题解析。
3．B 父亲曾经是一个积极向上的很强壮的人，但是一场疾病夺走了一切。所以once是指父亲曾经身体很好。故B正确。
4．D 本句使用take表示疾病夺走了父亲健康的身体。故D正确。
5．A 根据前句可知，父亲不能行走，只能整天坐在椅子上。本句中的even“甚至”，表示递进关系。说明父亲连说话也变得困难，充分说明父亲的状况很糟糕。故A正确。
6．B talk about“谈论……”；本句表示我和姐妹们在谈论生活，故B正确。
7．C experiences“经历”；decision“决定”；belief“信念，想法”；ambition“雄心，野心”。“我”和姐妹们谈论对生活的看法，同时下文中提及的要放弃，也属于对生活的一种想法。故C正确。
8．B 我认为随着我们长大，我们一定要放弃一些东西，如年轻、美丽和朋友等。故B正确。
9．D 句式It seems that...“似乎……”；但似乎在我们放弃了一些事物以后，总有一些新的东西会代替他们原来的位置。其余三项并不能构成这个句式。故D正确。
10．A speak up“说话”；open up“出现；产生”；sum up“概括；总结”；turn up“出现”。在我们谈论生活的时候，父亲突然开口说话了，因为上文提到父亲连说话都很困难的。故A正确。
11．C 与下一句“What did I gain？”相串联，父亲提出一个问题：他放弃了一切，但是他得到了什么？他用这个问题让“我”认识到“我”的看法是错误的。故C正确。
12．B immediately“立刻，马上”；surprising“令人惊讶地”；naturally“自然地”；certainly“当然”。“我”想了很久都没有得到答案，但是令人吃惊的是，父亲自己回答了这个问题。与A、C、D不搭配。故B正确。
13．D 根据11空后“What did I gain？”父亲提出“他得到了什么？”所以本句承接前一句使用动词gain。故D正确。
14．C attract“吸引”；warn“警告”；touch“感动，打动”；astonish“使……惊讶”。根据前句最后“...tears in their eyes...”说明父亲很激动，本句中的also说明“我”也很感动，被父亲所说的话感动了。故C正确。
15．A 本句中的情态动词would意为“过去常常……”，当我对别人的话感到愤怒的时候，“我”常常会想起父亲的话，然后就会平静下来。故A正确。
16．C 父亲的话让“我”意识到要顺其自然，接受生活给我们的一切。所以父亲的话让“我”平静地接受一切，让“我”愤怒的情绪平静下来。故C正确。
17．D be likely to do sth.“可能做某事”；be free to do sth.“自由地做某事”；be ready to do sth.“愿意做某事”；be able to do sth.“能够做某事”。如果父亲能够用对他人的爱来代替痛苦，那么“我”也能够放弃对别人的愤怒。故D正确。
18．A 父亲用他自己的生活方式接受生活给予他的一切，让他能够平静地接受一切，那么“我”也可以和他一样。所以in this way“用这种方法”。故A正确。
19．A wonder“想知道”；doubt“怀疑”；guess“猜想”；know“知道”。有时候“我”在想如果在小时候我能够仔细听父亲的话，“我”可能会学到更多。作者是在追悔之前的事情。故A正确。
20．D useful“有用的”；grateful“感激的”；shameful“可耻的，丢脸的”；ashamed“惭愧的”。现在“我”对父亲给“我”的“Accept life as it is”感到很惭愧，“我”早就应该学到的。故D正确。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
In the early part of the twentieth century, racism (种族歧视) was widespread in the United States. Many African Americans were not given equal opportunities in education or employment. Marian Anderson (1897-1993) was an African American woman who gained fame as a concert singer in this climate of racism. She was born in Philadelphia and sang in church choirs during her childhood. When she asked for admission to a local music school in 1917, she was refused because she was black. Unable to attend music school, she began her career as a singer for religious activities. In 1929, she went to Europe to study voice and spent several years performing there. Her voice was widely praised throughout Europe. Then she returned to the US in 1935 and became a top concert singer after performing at Town Hall in New York City.
Racism again affected Anderson in 1939. When it was arranged to sing at Constitution Hall in Washington, DC, the Daughters of the American Revolution opposed (反对) it because of her color. She sang instead at the Lincoln Memorial for over 75,000 people. In 1955, Anderson became the first black soloist (独唱) to sing in the Metropolitan Opera of New York City. The famous conductor Toscanini praised her voice as “heard only once in a hundred years”. She was a US delegate (代表) to the United Nations in 1958 and won the UN peace prize in 1977. Anderson eventually triumphed over racism.

Ⅲ.阅读理解
A
In most developed countries the government provides free education for children because it realizes that educated citizens are useful to the country in their later life. Most countries also have private (私立的) education. This means that parents can pay to send their children to certain schools. People who agree with this system say that it gives parents a larger choice of schools. Other people think that private schools give the children who go to them an unfair advantage over other children.
At the age of three, many children go to nursery school. Two or three years later, they enter a primary school. At the age of 11 they go to a secondary school. Then they may have a chance of continuing their studies at a university or college.
Universities and colleges are places where some young people go to continue their education after leaving school. Most university students study one main subject, though they may also study a number of others. Teaching is usually by lectures, or by discussions between a lecturer and students.
Most students stay at university for three or four years. At the end of that, they take an examination. If they pass, they receive their Bachelor's degree, usually a BA, which is short for Bachelor of Arts, or a BS for Bachelor of Science. Some students study for several more years in order to get higher degree, such as a MA or a PhD.
Most university courses don't train students to do a certain job. Colleges, on the other hand, usually teach skills which enable students to follow a career (职业), such as clothing design, or business studies.

Housing Price in China has always aroused heated discussion among property developers and ordinary Chinese. To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries. However, the average housing price in the United States is only 8,000 yuan per square metre, while in China, it is even higher than that in the United States. “This shows that there are some bubbles (泡沫) in Chinese real estate (房地产) market，” the International Finance News reported.
Although the average price of residential houses in the United States, after changed to RMB, is about 8,000 yuan per square metre, the houses in the US are not sold in terms of building area, as most Chinese property developers do when they sell their houses. If the US property developers sell their houses according to the building area, then the housing price will be even lower than 8,000 yuan per square metre. In most big Chinese cities, such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen, houses are sold at a price even higher than those in the US.
The high housing price in large cities in China proves that Chinese real estate market does have some bubbles. Moreover, Chinese houses cannot be compared with houses in the US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities. Furthermore, it should be noted that American people's average income is several dozen times higher than that of Chinese people. How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the US?
At the beginning of 2007, Chinese government issued a set of policies that aimed to benefit the public. Now in order to reduce the high housing prices, the government can regulate the real estate market by raising tax on property industry and controlling the release of loans and lands to property developers. Meanwhile, the government should allow people to build more houses through various fund-raising channels, such as funds collected from buyers or raised by working units. By applying these multiple means, it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered and Chinese public can really benefit from the economic achievement.
【文章大意】 居高不下的房价一直都是人们议论的热门话题。中国政府出台了一系列惠民政策，相信在政府的宏观调控之下，房价会降到一个合理的水平，人民群众也能从经济发展中真正获益。
5．When it comes to housing price in China, many ________ think it reasonable.
A．property developers and ordinary people
B．property developers and local governments
C．ordinary people and the Chinese government
D．property developers and the Chinese government
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“To many property developers and local government officials, housing price in China is still low compared with many developed countries.”可知，房地产开发商和地方政府的官员认为，中国的房价仍然低于许多发达国家，说明他们认为中国目前的房价是合理的，故选B。
答案：B
6．How does the writer feel about the problem of high housing price in China?
A．Encouraged and confident.
B．Satisfied.
C．Hopeless.
D．Concerned but optimistic (乐观的)．
解析：观点态度题。根据第一段“it is even higher than that in the United States”和第三段“How can the Chinese afford to buy a house which is even more expensive than that sold in the US？”可知，作者对房价居高不下感到困惑；根据最后一段“it is expected that the high housing prices can be lowered and Chinese public can really benefit from the economic achievement”可知，作者认为通过采取多种措施，房价有望降低，人们能够真正从经济发展中获益，说明作者的态度是乐观的，故选D。

A．housing price in China will drop considerably very soon
B．a set of laws have been passed to improve Chinese real estate market

解析：推理判断题。根据第三段“Moreover, Chinese houses cannot be compared with houses in the US in terms of building quality, environment and supporting facilities.”可知，中国楼房的质量、环境和配套设施都比不上美国的楼房，说明中国楼房不仅价格虚高，连质量也不如美国的，故选C。

There was once a woman who decided to kill all the monsters (怪物) in the world. This __1__ took her on a dangerous journey. She met with many __2__ along the way, each testing her strength and abilities.
She hadn't traveled long __3__ she began chasing the monster of hunger. She __4__ him and declared, “You've been causing hunger; __5__ to die.” The monster said, “I acknowledge I bring __6__， but I also bring benefits as well. There would be no __7__ to find food and survive without me. So look at the ways I might be __8__； don't destroy me.” The woman saw the __9__ in what the monster said, so the monster wasn't killed.
Then she found the monster of suffering and said, “Nobody __10__ to suffer. You're __11__ and I want to kill you.” But he also __12__ for his life, saying, “I do cause pain and sorrow. Yet because of me people __13__ and develop. Remember as a child when you put your hand too close to a fire and experienced the pain of the __14__？ Your suffering was short, but you learned from the __15__. This learning has protected you, and this short suffering may have helped to __16__ your life.” The woman then realized another truth—through pain we learn to __17__ pain and appreciate pleasure. So perhaps even suffering has its place if we learn how to __18__ from it.
So she learned that it isn't what the object is, but how we __19__ it, that makes the difference. Experiences of the past __20__ what we do in the present. We can never tell how the unexpected bad events lead to unexpected beautiful new experiences.

【文章大意】 本文为夹叙夹议文。看似坏的东西也可以给我们带来好处，本文说明的就是这个道理。
1．D 由“decided to kill all the monsters in the world”可知，该空意指杀怪物这一“目标(goal)”。
2．C 由“each testing her strength and abilities”可知，她在途中遇到了许多“挑战(challenge)”。
3．B 出发不久她就赶上了“the monster of hunger”，即在赶上“the monster of hunger”“之前(before)”她还没有走很长时间，故选B项。
4．D 赶上“the monster of hunger”后，需要“接近(approach)”它，让它“准备(prepare)”受死。
5．C 参见上题解析。
6．D 由“You've been causing hunger”可知，此处它承认它给人带来了“不适(discomfort)”。
7．B 饥饿是人们寻找食物从而存活下来的“动力(motivation)”，由此可判断选B项。
8．A 由“I also bring benefits as well”可知，怪物认为它也有“用处(useful)”。
9．C 根据语境可判断此处指“the monster of hunger”也有其自己的作用这一“真相(truth)”。
10．B 根据语境可判断此处意为：没人“想(want)”受苦。
11．C 给人带来痛苦的东西是“没有价值的(worthless)”，故她要杀它。
12．A 由其后面的讲话可判断它是在给自己“辩护(defend)”。
13．D 由下文“but you learned”及“This learning”的提示可判断选D项。
14．B 由“put your hand too close to a fire”可判断选B项。
15．A 由上下文语境可判断此处指将手靠近火而后又将手收回这一“经历(experience)”，故选A项。
16．D 由“This learning has protected you”可判断与“protected”匹配的应该是“拯救(save)”生命。
17．B 知道靠近火会痛以后就知道不要将手靠近火，从而能“避免(avoid)”疼痛，由此语境可判断选B项。
18．C suffering也有用，如果你能从中“受益(benefit)”的话，它们也有其作用。
19．A 怪物看似没有价值，但其实有用，关键是你怎么样“看待(see)”它。
20．D 由最后一句可判断，此处表示过去的经历可以“改变(change)”我们现在所做的事。

If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you don't, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do.
Sit down and stay where you are. Don't try to find your friends—let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place.
There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others.
Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.
If you don't think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Don't just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.
The most important thing to do when you are lost is—stay in one place.

What do you want to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? How about an ice-cream taster?
Yes, there really is a job where you can get paid to taste ice cream. Just ask John Harrison, an “Official Taste Tester” for the past 21 years. Testing helps manufacturers to be sure of a product's quality. During his career Harrison has been responsible for approving large quantities of the sweet ice cream—as well as for developing over 75 flavors (味道)．
Some people think that it would be easy to do this job; after all, you just have to like ice cream, right? No—there's more to the job than that, says Harrison, who has a degree in chemistry. He points out that a dairy or food—science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this “cool” field.
In a typical morning on the job, Harrison tastes and assesses 60 ice-cream samples. He lets the ice cream warm up to about 12°F. Harrison explains, “You get more flavor from warmer ice cream, which is why some kids like to stir (搅拌) it, creating ice-cream soup.”
While the ice cream warms up, Harrison looks over the samples and grades each one on its appearance. “Tasting begins with the eyes，” he explains. He checks to see if the ice cream is attractive and asks himself, “Does the product have the color expected from that flavor？” Next it's time to taste!
Continuing to think up new ideas, try out new flavors, and test samples from so many kinds of ice cream each day keeps Harrison busy but happy—working at one cool job.
【文章大意】 本文介绍了一个很酷的职业“冰淇淋品尝师”，并对John Harrison的工作简单描述，让读者了解一些这个职业。
5．What is John Harrison's job?
A．An official.
B．An ice-cream manufacturer.
C．A chemist.
D．An ice-cream taster.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段“Just ask John Harrison, an ‘Official Taste Tester’ for the past 21 years.”可知，John Harrison已经做了21年的冰淇淋品尝师，故选D。
答案：D
6．According to John Harrison, to be qualified in the “cool field”， it is helpful to ________.
A．think up new ideas every day
B．keep a diary of daily work
C．have a degree in related subjects
D．find out new flavors each day
解析：推理判断题。根据文中第三段“He points out that a dairy or food-science degree would be very useful to someone wanting a career in this ‘cool’ field.”他指出：对于想从事这份很酷的职业领域的人来说，拥有一个乳制品或食品科学学位是有帮助的。故答案C拥有相关学科的学位正确，故选C。
答案：C
7．What does Harrison do first when testing ice cream?
A．He stirs the ice cream.
B．He lets the ice cream warm up.
C．He tastes the flavor of the ice cream.
D．He examines the color of the ice cream.
解析：细节理解题。根据文章第四段可知，Harrison品尝冰淇淋的第一步是加热到大约12°F，故选B。
答案：B
8．Which of the following is probably the best title for the passage?

The US government has recently helped people learn more about the dangers of earthquakes by publishing a map. This map shows the chances of an earthquake in each part of the country. The areas of the map where earthquakes are most likely to occur are called earthquake belts. The government is spending a great deal of money and is working hard to help to discover the answers to these two questions：
Can we predict earthquakes?
Can we control earthquakes?
To answer the first question, scientists are looking very closely at the most active fault (断层) systems in the country, such as the San Andreas fault in California. A fault is a break between two sections of the earth's surface. These breaks between sections are the places where earthquakes occur. Scientists look at the faults for changes which might show that an earthquake was about to occur. But it will probably be many years before we can predict earthquakes correctly. And the control of earthquakes is even farther away.
However, there have been some interesting developments in the field of controlling earthquakes. The most interesting development concerns the Rocky Mountain Arsenal earthquakes. Here water was put into a layer of rocks 4,000 metres below the surface of the ground. Shortly after this injection (注射) of water, there was a small number of earthquakes. Scientists have decided that the water which was injected into the rocks worked like oil on each other.
When the water “oiled” the fault, the fault became slippery and the energy of an earthquake was given out. Scientists are still experimenting at the site of these earthquakes. They have realized that there is a connection between the injection of the water and the earthquake activity. They have suggested that it might be possible to use this knowledge to prevent very big, dangerous earthquakes, that is, scientists could inject some kind of fluid like water into faults and change one big earthquake into a number of small, harmless earthquakes.
【文章大意】 为了提高人们对地震的防范意识，美国政府加大了在防震、预测方面的投入，他们甚至在努力采取措施控制地震的发生。
1．Earthquakes belts are ________.
A．maps that show where earthquakes are likely to occur
B．zones with a high probability of earthquakes
C．breaks between two sections of the earth's surface
D．the two layers of earth along a fault
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段的第三句可知，地震多发地带被称为earthquake belts。

答案：A
3．What did scientists learn about earthquakes at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal?
A．They occur at about 4,000 metres below ground level.
B．The injection of water into earthquake faults prevents earthquakes from occurring.
C．They are usually caused by the oil in the faults.
D．Harmful earthquakes could be prevented by causing harmless earthquakes.

答案：D
4．What can be said about the experiments at the Rocky Mountain Arsenal?
A．They have no practical value in earthquake prevention.
B．They may have practical value in earthquake prevention.
C．They are certain to have practical value in earthquake prevention.
D．Nothing is told about their practical value in earthquake prevention.
解析：推理判断题。根据科学家的试验，通过向断裂带注水可以引发小地震，从而使地震的能量得到释放，因此也就降低了大地震爆发的可能。
答案：B

Seeing a volcano erupt is a wonderful experience, and you can really feel the heat by climbing to the summit (山顶) of Pacaya for a close-up view. There are guided tours every day up this highly active volcano from Antigua, giving travelers a chance to see Mother Nature at her most powerful.
Pacaya is an easy drive from Antigua, a beautiful city with many colorful houses along its old streets that are turned into art-works during its Holy Week Festival. No matter when you come to Antigua, you won't miss the Pacaya-tour companies.
But climbing Pacaya is no easy job: it is 2,560 metres high, and reaching the summit takes two to three hours of seemingly one-step-forward and two-step-back movements. As you climb, you hear the dull sounds of eruptions high above. Steaming, hot remains from recent eruptions begin to line the path as you near the active summit: the McKenney Cone (火山锥). Just as though you are going to walk over to the edge of the cone, the road turns to the left and up to the relative safety of the old, inactive summit.
Many tours are timed so that you arrive at the cone of the volcano in plenty of time for sunset and the full contrast between the erupting red lava and the darkening sky. On a good day the view from the summit is extremely exciting. The active mouth boils, sending red lava over its sides, and once in a while shoots hot streams up to 100 metres into the air. There is a strong bad smell in the air even if you take care to be upwind of the cone. As evening turns deeper into the night, the burning lava quietly falls down the side of the volcano. For you, too, it is time to get down.
【文章大意】 红色的熔岩从火山口喷薄而出冲向百米高空，与黑色的天幕相映生辉，来自大自然的力量令游客叹为观止，流连忘返。
5．What is the main purpose of the passage?
A．To attract tourists to Pacaya.
B．To describe the beauty of Pacaya.
C．To introduce guided tours to Pacaya.
D．To explain the power of nature at Pacaya.
解析：写作意图题。B项描述Pacaya之美；C项介绍去Pacaya的旅行；D项解释Pacaya大自然的力量。这三项本文都是点到为止，其最终目的是想吸引游客去Pacaya。
答案：A

Laptop computers are popular all over the world. People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms.
Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1,500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students with laptops will also have access to the Internet. In addition, they will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their teachers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees—anywhere at all!
Because of the many changes in computer technology, laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources. State higher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.
At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we're giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”

答案：D
B
In Singapore, most of us love window-shopping while some others enjoy having a picnic at East Coast Park or Changi Beach on sunny days. Singaporeans are never bothered by the occasional (偶尔的) thunderstorms. However, we know that if it rains for long continuous periods, there will be more serious effects. Just recently the main shopping street of Orchard Road was flooded and some parts of Bukit Timah was impossible to traffic. People reacted by writing in to the newspaper to complain about this! We forget that other countries suffer much worse effects. Elsewhere, heavy tropical (热带的) storms often result in floods that ruin crops especially in Thailand and Malaysia. This in turn usually means that the price of rice and vegetables here in Singapore will rise because we import these products from them. If there is a typhoon or tsunami, thousands of lives are lost too. This happened fin Indonesia and Phuket in Thailand in 2004 and it serves to remind us of how Mother Nature can cause great damage.
Weather patterns in general have changed dramatically in recent years. Scientists believe that global warming and the resulting melting of the polar ice-cap has caused the level of the ocean to rise. This in turn causes flooding of low-lying areas in countries where the land is rather flat and some parts of which is below sea level. It is believed that human activities have caused Mother Nature to show her extreme anger, so it is now important that we really work together to cut down on harmful activities, for example, illegal logging (伐木) or irresponsible forest-burning to clear land for farming.

As most people know, in the past few years, sandstorms have swept across many cities and areas of North China, polluting the air and disturbing daily lives of human beings. People look dirty and suffer many kinds of illnesses, such as breath difficulty. The sandstorm is such a serious problem that it has not only undermined the industrial and agricultural development of our country but also caused a lot of trouble to the living conditions of the Chinese people. It is expected that effective (有效的) measures should be taken as soon as possible through our joint efforts to limit its occurrence.
So what should we do with the frightening sandstorms? Some experts put forward practical suggestions as follows: For one thing, more funds (基金) ought to be put into tree planting and forest protection so as to keep more water resources within the surface of the earth. For another, governments of all countries should make laws on environmental protection. For example, banning the use of throw-away chopsticks and punishing illegal tree cutting. Scientists should also study and find ways to cut down the degree of its destruction and to improve the whole environment.
How people look forward to sunny days with little breeze (微风) touching their faces now and forever! Nevertheless, I am fully confident that the golden days can come back so long as everyone tries his best to protect natural environment from today on.

Most of the sandstorms that had swept China last year came from foreign land, a Chinese official in charge of desertification (荒漠化) control said on Monday. And the invasions (入侵) could partly explain the frequent sandstorms in the country in recent years despite its achievements in desertification control.
Since the start of last spring, the north and northwestern Chinese regions had been hit by 17 sandstorms, of which, a dozen came from foreign land.
Situated in the central-Asia sandstorm region, one of the world's four largest sandstorm sources, China also suffers from sandstorms from outside the country while being blamed as a sand source to northeast Asia. The other three major sources are in Africa, North America and Australia.
The land suffering from desertification has been decreasing by 7,585 square kilometres annually in China, and the area of sandy land has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.
The shrinkage (收缩) forms a clear contrast to the fact that the land suffering from desertification and sandy feature was added by 10,400 square kilometres and 3,436 square kilometres late last century, respectively.
Currently, the desertification land in China makes up 2.64 million square kilometres, accounting for 27.46 percent of the nation's land, and its sandy land totals 1.74 million square kilometres, accounting for 18.1 percent of the country's total.
【文章大意】 近年来中国遭受严重的风沙袭击，而中国也被认为是风沙的来源之一，经过努力中国在治沙方面取得显著的效果。
5．What does the underlined word “decreasing” mean in Paragraph 4?
A．Going down. B．Going up.
C．Coming from. D．Taking up.
解析：词义猜测题。根据第四段最后的“has also been falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year”可知，该词的意思是“减少”，与fall的意思接近，故选A项。
答案：A
6．Where do most of the sandstorms in China come from?
A．The northwestern Chinese regions.
B．The northern Chinese regions.
C．The western part of China.
D．Foreign countries.
解析：细节理解题。根据第一段提到“Most of the sandstorms that...control said on Monday.”去年袭击中国的沙尘暴来自外国，故选D项。
答案：D
7．Which of the following is believed to be the sand source to northeast Asia?
A．Mongolia. B．Africa.
C．China. D．Australia.
解析：细节理解题。根据第三段“China also suffers from sandstorms...sand source to northeast Asia”可知中国被认为是东北亚风沙的来源地，故选C项。
答案：C
8．What can we infer from this passage?
A．The land in China suffering from desertification has been increasing greatly.
B．China has made achievements in its own desertification control.
C．The desertification land makes up nearly half of China's territory.
D．Little progress has been made in controlling desertification in China.
解析：推理判断题。根据第四段提到“The land suffering from...falling by 1,284 square kilometres a year.”遭受风沙袭击的土地每年减少7 585平方公里，沙地的区域一年减少了1 284平方公里，故可知控制沙漠化取得了成效，故选B项。
答案：B

【文章大意】 彗星撞击地球，会造成什么样的灾难性的后果？
1．B 彗星应该是“击中”地球，故应该是hit“击中；袭击”。beat意为反复的“打击”；attack“攻击”；damage“破坏”。
2．A 指两块中的一块进入大气层。a piece与上一段中的“two pieces”相照应。
3．D 彗星碎块进入大气层。所以应用atmosphere。air“空气”；environment“环境”；situation“情况”。
4．C 该彗星石的一部分已经毁灭，剩下的部分和地球相撞。rest不能作定语。只能用the rest of sth.。
5．A 以两百倍于声速的速度才符合科学常识。
6．D 大海沸腾起来，而不是燃烧起来。harm和destroy不合题意。
7．C 好几百万人丢失了生命。dead表示死亡状态；sb.be lost表示“迷路”。
8．D 另一块彗星降落在阿根廷境内。land“着陆”。
9．B 句意：火山和地震被引发。set sth. off“引发某物强烈发生”。
10．B shock waves“冲击波”，符合题意，而且在本段的第一句中已出现。
11．C 由文意可知，这些城市完全被毁灭。ruin“毁灭”。
12．A 由第一段最后一句可知，这两块彗星会击中南半球。
13．A 前后两句应该为并列关系。上句是南半球的情况，则下句“北半球”符合句意。
14．B 句意：太阳被云层所遮盖。根据下文“太阳再也看不到了”，可知答案选B。
15．D 战争爆发应该用break out。come out“出来”；turn out“结果是”；take place“发生”。
16．C 由前文中“Crops are ruined.”，可知，国与国之间会为争夺粮食而战。
17．D 句意：一年后地球上仅仅存留着一千万人。
18．B 此句意为“这种事情真的会发生吗？”而非“这种事情可能是事实吗？”；因为it指这种事情，而不是该彗星，所以C、D两项都不对。
19．C 句意：恐龙曾经在地球上生活过1.6亿多年。并没有延续到现在，所以不能用现在完成时态；另外，shows是现在时态，所以答案也不能用过去完成时态。
20．B 句意：恐龙不能度过这样寒冷的气候。climate“气候”；weather常指短期的天气变化，故选B。

Most people buy and use a car as a means of transportation from here to there. Wouldn't it be great if there were other ways to travel easily without owning a car?
In recent years, the idea of “car_sharing” has become popular in Europe and the United States. Car sharing is a system where a group of people share the use of a few cars, rather than each person owning one.
On average, we drive our own cars as little as one hour a day. That's a waste of money, isn't it? To save costs, some people come up with the idea of “car sharing”. Instead of owning our own car, which costs money every day, we can share cars and only pay money when we use them. This is the car sharing system.
In Switzerland, a leader in car sharing, almost 40,000 people have joined a car share system, and borrow and return cars at 800 places across the country. In this system, people who drive less than 10,000 kilometers a year can reduce their driving costs. This is because they only have to pay for the basic fees and charges (费用) based on the actual travel distance. But when people own their own cars, they need to pay taxes, car inspection (检查) fees, parking fees, repair costs and so on. Since this system reduces household expenses (花费), more and more people are starting to do car sharing.
Car sharing is the beginning of a new idea in transportation in which we can use a service we need, without buying a product—a car.

Welcome to the Barossa Valley Balloon Adventures website. We hope you find it helpful and easy to use.
Balloon Adventures has been a family owned and operated business since 1986. We have flown thousands of very happy people of all ages over the years. We have a highly experienced team with your safety and enjoyment as our primary concern. Your experience starts when we meet you at the winery (酿酒厂) on the edge of Tanunda, one and a half hours before sunrise. From there our team checks the wind conditions and then chooses the best launch site for the day. We have about 17 different sites throughout the country to choose from.
Once at the launch site we then inflate (充气) the giant colourful balloon. Inflation takes about half an hour. Then it's up, up and away for an experience of a lifetime. Imagine floating above the Barossa, drifting with the breeze and without a care in the world. Ballooning is probably the most romantic form of transportation.
We fly with the wind for about an hour, which gives you plenty of time to take photos and just enjoy the sense of freedom drifting with the breeze. Then, when we land, our support vehicle arrives, we pack the balloon away and then head off to enjoy some of the local food. After breakfast everyone is then officially certified a “Balloonatic” with their own flight certificate. So, in total, you're with us for approximate five hours. After we say goodbye, feel free to explore the sites, sounds and tastes that the Barossa offers.

It is reported, some needy students receive financial support of some kind people but never express their thanks. Personally, I think we are wrong.
Though the helpers don't expect any reward in return, but it's necessary and good manner to say “thank you”. Besides, it is a basic social skill express ourselves in modern society. Maybe some of them do feel thankfully. It is only because they are afraid of being looked down upon which they remain silent. But I just want to say that being poor for a moment don't mean you will be poor forever.

Kong Zi, also called Confucius (551—479 B. C．), and Socrates (469—399 B. C．) lived only a hundred years apart. During their lifetimes there was no contact between China and Greece, but it is interesting to look at how the world that each of these great philosophers came from shaped their ideas, and how these ideas in turn, shaped their societies.
Neither philosopher lived in times of peace, though there were more wars in Greece than in China. The Chinese states were very large and feudal, while the Greek city-states were small and urban. The urban environment in which Socrates lived allowed him to be more radical (激进的) than Confucius. Unlike Confucius, Socrates was not asked by rulers how to govern effectively. Thus, Socrates was able to be more idealistic, focusing on issues like freedom, and knowledge for its own sake. Confucius, on the other hand, advised those in government service, and many of his students went on to government service.
Confucius suggested the Golden Rule as a principle for the conduct of life. “Do not do to others what you would not want others to do to you.” He assumed that all men were equal at birth, though some had more potential (潜能) than others, and that it was knowledge that set men apart. Socrates focused on the individual, and thought that the greatest purpose of man was to seek wisdom. He believed that some had more potential to develop their reason than others did. Like Confucius, he believed that the superior class should rule the inferior (下层的) classes.
For Socrates, the family was of no importance, and the community of little concern. For Confucius, however, the family was the centre of society, with family relations considered much more important than political relations.
Both men are respected much more today than they were in their lifetimes.

“This isn't Disneyland, I'm not a novelty, this is as real as it gets，” sing The Sisters of Invention.
The young women—Annika, Michelle, Jackie, Aimee and Caroline—are a pop group with a difference. All have learning difficulties and some have extra disabilities.
The five are based in Adelaide, Australia, and met in 2010 when they sang together in a choir (合唱队) run by Tutti, an organization which supports disabled artists. Tutti saw they had talent and invited them to form a group. Now they perform together two or three times per month, and this is how they make a living.
Michelle is 25 and has cerebral palsy (脑瘫) and a mild learning disability. She says, “We choose the name The Sisters of Invention because we are like sisters and we support each other on and off stage. For the invention part, we are trying to change people's view of people with disabilities. We are reinventing the rules.”
All their songs are based on the members' own experiences and were written as a group in their twice weekly meetings at Tutti. “We would arrive in the morning and I'd say, ‘What do you want to talk about today？’” says their manager and producer Michael Ross. He then noted down everything they said until lyrics took shape. Ross says that putting “their truth” out there is important. He says, “What I'm interested in is that we get to see the world in a way that people in pop culture almost never get to see. It is creative gold.”
When they perform their songs, the physical side of their disabilities is more obvious, but Ross says, “They're not up there to show their barriers or difficulties. They're up there to show their strengths.”

Love and Friendship
They are both so much related to each other. And both are so dissimilar! What are the difference between friendship and love? Is platonic (柏拉图式的) friendship possible between persons of the opposite sex? __1__
What is friendship? Why do we call a person our friend? When do we call someone a very good friend? If we care for a person, if we are always ready to help that person and if we share most of our thoughts with a person, they are our good friends. We can always count upon our good friends in an emergency. We are always sure that our friends will understand why we acted in a certain way.
__2__ The friendship is so deep and the relationship is so intimate, that most of the things automatically understood by our friends.
__3__ In a relationship of deep love, all the sharing that we discussed above is taken for granted. But love transcends (超出) all this. During love, we are attached with a particular person, while in friendship, one may have many friends. A loving relationship makes one so much attached to the other that one gets pained if his/her beloved is hurt! Love also involves a physical element.
__4__ This is a vital difference. Nature gives us love so that the species can go forward. Nature does not give us friendship.
Your heart beats will never increase in anticipation of meeting your friend. __5__ You will not feel totally lost if you don't meet your friend for a few days. You will not have dreams in your eyes thinking about your friendship.
A．What about love?
B．My answer is “Yes！”
C．Let us try and understand.
D．Friendship does not have that.
E．We need not explain anything to our very good friends.
F．You will not lie awake at night thinking about your friend.

No one can believe that the over 6,300-kilometer. Great Wall might disappear some day. Believe it or not, the Great Wall is being destroyed by people. Less than 20 percent of the Great Wall built in the Ming Dynasty, is still perfect, but about 80 percent is in danger. The Great Wall can be called “great” mostly because of its amazing length. But we should realize that the length was made up of one brick at a time. If we do nothing to save the Great Wall, it will become a series of separate wasteland rather than a historic site.
The Great Wall is actually a series of walls built and rebuilt by different dynasties over the past 2,000 years. It began in the rule of China's first emperor, Qin Shihuang of the Qin Dynasty (221BC—206BC), and lasted into the Ming Dynasty. The parts built before the Ming Dynasty have nearly disappeared. People are familiar with sections such as Badaling in Beijing and Jiayuguan Pass in Gansu, because they have been open to tourists for many years. But those_sections_far_away_from_the_public_eyes have been almost forgotten.
Few local people knew the 3-meter-high walls made of earth and stones beside them are parts of the Great Wall. The lack of knowledge is considered as one of the main reasons behind human.
The bricks on the Great Wall are carried off by countryside people to build their houses, sheep corrals and pigsties. Some were taken away to build roads. Bricks carved with people's names are put away as remembrances. The rubbish is spread over the battlements. The brick can be sold 15 yuan per tractor load. Those who destroyed and are destroying the Wall know its name, but are not clear about its cultural meaning. It will take a long time to let them know this. The local farmers not only carried off the body of the Wall but also dug out the entire base.
It is necessary to protect the Great Wall. First of all, the officials should be aware of the importance of the Great Wall. Young Chinese should know more about the nation's great civilization and learn to love it.
【文章大意】 本文叙述了历史文化古迹——长城正在遭到破坏，由于人们对于古迹缺乏认识，做了许多破坏性的事情，呼吁人们要保护好长城。

The basic flag of the United States is one of the world's oldest national flags. Only the basic flags of Austria, Denmark, Great Britain, the Netherlands, Sweden, and Switzer land are older.
During the discovery and settlement of what is now the United States, the flags of various European nations were flown over the land, as symbols of possession.
Later, in the Colonial and Revolutionary War periods, flags representing famous persons, places, and events were flown in the American Colonise.
The first official flag of the United States was created by Congress on June 14,1777. It consisted of 13 alternate red and white stripes and 13 white stars in a field of blue, representing the 13 colonies that had declared their independence in 1776. Congress adopted a new flag of 15 stars and 15 stripes in 1795, to give representation to the two new states admitted into the Union, Vermont and Kentucky.
By 1817, there were 20 states in the Union, and it became apparent that adding one stripe for each new state would destroy the shape of the flag. As a result, Congress in 1818 restored the original design of 13 stripes and provided that each state was to be represented by one star. In 1921 Preside William H. Taft made the first official provision for the arrangement of the stars. He ordered that there be six even rows of eight stars each. Previously the arrangement of the stars had been left to the flag-maker's fancy.
The evolution of the stars and stripes reflects the growth of the United States. After the admission of Hawaii into the Union in 1959, the flag was official changed for the 26th time since its creation.
There are many government flags flown in the United States in addition to the national flag. Among them are the president's and vice-president's flags and those of the federal departments and some federal agencies. Each state in the Union has an official flag. The United States Navy uses special flags for signaling.

Be grateful. Gratitude is the secret to a happier, less anxious you. __2__ When you practice gratitude, you start training your brain to pay attention to all the wonderful things about your life and doing so improves your mood little by little.
Forget perfect. Going after perfection sets you up to feel defeated. Accept that you will have days that are far from perfect and learn to laugh at the funny things that go wrong at the wrong time. __3__
Move your body. __4__ I'm sure you'll feel better especially if you exercise regularly. Doing exercise will give you a sense of achievement that you can use to deal with other difficulties in your life.
Connection with other people. If you struggle with anxiety, you may not feel like putting yourself into social situations, but isolating (使孤立) yourself socially is the worst thing you can do. Connecting with others can help you realize everyone has struggles and that people are there for you. __5__ Connection can help you improve your mood.
A．Life is so much more enjoyable when you expect less of it.
B．Make sure you aren't going around trying to please everyone.
C．It is scientifically proved that exercise can improve your mood.

【文章大意】 本文叙述的是Glen Kruger听力受损之后，在动物救助中心捡到了一只猫，他把它叫做Inky，在一月的一个晚上，Inky救了它的主人的生命的过程。
1．B 这里是说Glen Kruger给他捡到的小猫“起了个名字(named)”叫Inky，所以选B。
2．C Glen Kruger说他在一个一百英亩的农场上长大，只有猫“作为(as)”他的玩伴，所以选C。
3．C Glen Kruger的听力只能是被机器的“噪声(noise)”损坏，其他三个选项都不会损坏人的听力，所以选C。
4．B 根据第一段中的“there was an uncommon connection between him and the small black cat”和后面“They react to what they see and what you do.”可知，这里的they是指动物。所以选B。
5．C 根据“Inky was a gentle cat”可知，Inky很温顺，所以它和其他五只猫“共同(sharing)”住在一个屋里，所以选C。
6．D 根据后面讲的Inky救Glen Kruger命的过程，可知是它做了一件让它与其他普通的猫区别开的事。所以用D。
7．C 与Inky救主人的命比起来，其他的猫相对就是“普通的(ordinary)”了，所以选C。
8．B shut out“把……关在外面”；shut off“关闭”；shut down“停工”；shut up“住嘴，囚禁”。可以看出，四个选项中只有B项能与wood stove搭配，所以选B。
9．D 当他结束后，“爬(climb)”到楼梯顶上，去关灯。故选D项。
10．A 根据后面沉重的架子倒在地上，并把Glen Kruger也带下了楼梯，所以是他在关灯的过程中，他的背“撞(hit)”在一个旧架子上，故选A项。
11．B 根据前面的Glen Kruger被架子带下了楼梯，所以他应是“躺(lying)”在血泊里，所以选B。
12．D 根据后面的“going into shock”可知，是Glen Kruger“他自己(himself)”快要休克了，所以选himself。
13．A 根据“He shouted for help，”和“his wife, Brenda, was asleep in their bedroom at the opposite of the house”可知，这两句话之间是转折关系，所以选A。
14．B Then在这儿意思是“就在那个时候”，可以体会到Glen Kruger向妻子求助没有得到回应要绝望时，突然看到了Inky那种喜悦的心情，故选B项。
15．B Glen Kruger看到了Inky，于是让它去叫他的妻子，Inky就“跑(run)”到了卧室门口，所以选B。
16．A Inky跑到卧室门口后就“疯狂地(madly)”抓门，直到Brenda打开门，选A。
17．B Glen Kruger在地下室，Inky自然要把他妻子带到“地下室(basement)”。所以选B。
18．A at the bottom of“在……底部”；in the middle of“在……中间”；at the top of“在……顶部”；in the front of“在……的前部”。根据上文中架子倒地的时候把Glen Kruger带下了楼梯，所以他现在应该在楼梯下面，故选A项。
19．B Glen Kruger被送进了医院，在医院里是花了六个月的时间“恢复(recover)”，所以用B。
20．B 因为Inky救了Glen Kruger一命，所以他要时刻把它带在身边，“从未(never)”离开，故选B项。
