“But I like dandelions,” I protested(抗议). “All flowers are16 —even dandelions !”

My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is17 of people, too,” she added.

A

A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (笔试).

“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do i s to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”

One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge (挑战). The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.

Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.

The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “

“No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (自大) ! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...”

The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach.

21. What’s the correct order of the following events?

a. The crow followed the swan and got into trouble.

b. The swan felt pity for the crow and saved it.

c. The crow had to ask the swan for help.

d. The swan accepted a challenge of performing flying tricks.

A. a, d, b, c

B. a, b, d, c

C. d, a, c, b

D. d, c, a, b

22. What does the underlined word “exhausted” in Paragraph 4 mean?

A. Tired.

B. Bored.

C. Nervous.

D. Frightened.

23. What do we learn from the passage?

A. Practice makes perfect.

B. The early bird catches the worm.

C. No pains, no gains.

D. Pride goes before a fall.

B

Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金丝雀). If someone looks very proud and satisfied with himse lf, we say “he looks like the cat that ate the canary.”

Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, it means that you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.

Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow” or “the cat’s pajamas(睡衣)” to describe something that is the best or finest. “A copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person’s work. “A fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.

If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask you if “the cat has got your tongue(舌头)”

Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision (监管).

You may have heard the expression “curiosity killed the cat”. This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems.

If you have ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding (放牧) cats “

24. What can we learn from the passage?

A. The expression “a fat cat” is used to describe someone who is very fat.

B. The expression “play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on others”.

C. It is more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.

D. There are more expressions about cats than those about dogs.

25. In which of the following situations do we most probably use the expression “curiosity killed the cat”?

A. Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry.

B. Someone promised to keep a secret but he failed to do so.

C. Someone won the first prize in an English singing competition and he felt very excited.

D. Someone tried to swim across the Yangtze River with his newly broken legs.

26. Where can you most probably find the passage?

A. In a scientific research paper about cats.

B. On a website telling people how to keep cats.

C. In a magazine telling various jokes and funny stories.

D. In a language book that teaches students how to use American slang.

C

Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.

I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.

But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.

That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry P otter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”

These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.

No one’s born being good at things. Y ou become good at things through hard work.

Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.

And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.

27. Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?

A. To compare these two famous persons.

B. To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.

C. To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.

D. To prove that failure is the mother of success.

28. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

A. No one can be successful without working hard.

B. Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.

C. Those who believe in them selves shouldn’t ask others for help.

D. One should try his best to make his dream come true.

29. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?

A. One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.

B. One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.

C. One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times.

D. One doesn’t have to take others’ advice when they get away from him.

D

For hundreds Of years, scientists have been tryin g to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.

People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the peop le in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!

The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.

30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one’s emotions?

A. Weather.

B. Actions of others.

C. Personality.

D. Age.

31. Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?

A. It is a kind of artificial chemical.

B. It makes us worried by affecting our brains.

C. It is needed by us all to keep fit.

D. It is in the sunlight.

32. What can we infer (推断) from the passage?

A. We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.

B. We will be happy when we are caught in the rain.

C. All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.

D. The more vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be.

33. What may be the best title for this passage?

A. Why Do We Feel Sad?

B. The Weather Influences People’s Emotions

C. People Need More Vitamin D

D. We Can Hardly Change the Weather

If I were a Boy Again 假如我又回到了童年

Anonymous/无名氏

If I were a boy again, I would practice perseverance more often, and never give up a thing because it was or inconvenient. If we want light, we must conquer darkness. Perseverance can sometimes equal genius in its results. “There are only two creatures,” says a proverb, “who can surmount the pyramids—the eagle and the snail.” If I were a boy again, I would school myself into a habit of attention; I would let nothing come between me and the subject in hand. I would remember that a good skater never tries to skate in two directions at once. The habit of attention becomes part of our life, if we begin early enough. I often hear grown up people say “ I could not fix my attention on the sermon or book, although I wished to do so” , and the reason is, the habit was not formed in youth. If I were to live my life over again, I would pay more attention to the cultivation of the memory. I would strengthen that faculty by every possible means, and on every possible occasion. It takes a little hard work at first to remember things accurately; but memory soon helps itself, and gives very little trouble. It only needs early cultivation to become a power.

假如我又回到了童年，我做事要更有毅力，决不因为事情艰难或者

麻烦而撒手不干，我们要光明，就得征服黑暗。毅力在效果上有时能同

天才相比。俗话说：“能登上金字塔的生物，只有两种——鹰和蜗牛。” 假

如我又回到了童年，我就要养成专心致志的习惯；有事在手，就决不让

任何东西让我分心。我要牢记：优秀的滑冰手从不试图同时滑向两个不

同的方向。如果及早养成这种专心致志的习惯，它将成为我们生命的一

部分。我常听成年人说：“虽然我希望能集中注意听牧师讲道或读书，但

往往做不到。”而原因就是年轻时没有养成这种习惯。假如我现在能重新开始我的生命，我就要更注意记忆力的培养。我要采取一切可能的办法，并且在一切可能的场合，增强记忆力。要正确无误地记住一些东西，在开始阶段的确要作出一番小小的努力；但要不了多久，记忆力本身就会起作用，使记忆成为轻而易举的事，只需及早培养，记忆自会成为一种才能。

If I were a boy again, I would cultivate courage. “Nothing is so mild and gentle as courage, nothing so cruel and pitiless as cowardice,” says a wise author. We too often borrow trouble, and anticipate that may never appear.” The fear of ill exceeds the ill we fear.” Dangers will arise in any career, but presence of mind will often conquer the worst of them. Be prepared for any fate, and there is no harm to be feared. If I were a boy again, I would look on the cheerful side. Life is very much like a mirror: if you smile upon it, I smiles back upon you; but if you frown and look doubtful on it, you will get a similar look in return. Inner sunshine warms not only the heart of the owner, but of all that come in contact with it. “ who shuts love out ,in turn shall be shut out from love.” If I were a boy again, I would school myself to say no more often.

I might write pages on the importance of learning very early in life to gain that point whe re a young boy can stand erect, and decline doing an unworthy act because it is unworthy. If I were a boy again, I would demand of myself more courtesy towards my companions and friends, and indeed towards strangers as well. The smallest courtesies along the rough roads of life are like the little birds that sing to us all winter long, and make that season of ice and snow more endurable. Finally, instead of trying hard to be happy, as if that were the sole purpose of life, I would , if I were a boy again, I would still try harder to make others happy.

假如我又回到了童年，我就要培养勇气。一位明智的作家曾说过：“世上没有东西比勇气更温文尔雅，也没有东西比懦怯更残酷无情。” 我们常常过多地自寻烦恼，杞人忧天。“怕祸害比祸害本身更可怕。”凡事都有危险，但镇定沉着往往能克服最严重的危险。对一切祸福做好准备，那么就没有什么灾难可以害怕的了。假如我又回到了童年，我就要事事乐观。生活犹如一面镜子：你朝它笑，它也朝你笑；如果你双眉紧锁，向它投以怀疑的目光，它也将还以你同样的目光。内心的欢乐不仅温暖了欢乐者自己的心，也温暖了所有与之接触者的心。“谁拒爱于门外，也必将被爱拒诸门外。” 假如我又回到了童年，我就要养成经常说“不”字的习惯。一个少年要能挺得起腰，拒绝做不应该做的事，就因为这事不值得做。我可以写上好几页谈谈早年培养这一点的重要性。假如我又回到了童年，我就要要求自己对伙伴和朋友更加礼貌，而且对陌生人也应如此。在坎坷的生活道路上，最细小的礼貌犹如在漫长的冬天为我们歌唱的小鸟，那歌声使冰天雪地的寒冬变得较易忍受。最后，假如我又回到了童年，我不会力图为自己谋幸福，好像这就是人生唯一的目的；与之相反，我要更努力为他人谋幸福。
