She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.Mary looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she 31 her paper in half and began writing. When Mary finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her 32 grow hot---she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a mother could make one for a grandmother or an aunt.As her teacher 33 to her, Mary tried covering her card with her arm, but Mrs. Berry gently lifted it so that she could 34 it.

And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at hospital.On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him spread butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned toast."Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He took me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's really tired. And besides – a little burned toast never hurt anyone!"You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. This good quality is the base of any relationship --- husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! As far as I’m concerned, I’m not the best engineer as expected. However, I have made my efforts. That’s enough. So learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life. Burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker! Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket but into your own.51. When his mother put the burnt biscuit on the table, the author _____.A. wanted to see how his father reactedB. pretended not to notice itC. pretended to enjoy the burnt foodD. stopped his father eating the burnt toast52. We can infer from the passage that the author’s mother .A. She was not good at cooking.B. She hardly had time to cook at home.C. She felt sorry for the burnt food.D. She spent more time on breakfast than dinner.53. How did the author feel when his father said he loved burnt toast?A. Moved.B. PuzzledC.Surprised.D. Disappointed.54. According to the text, to get a happy life, one should______ .A. give help to people in needB. try to be a perfect personC. learn from one’s mistakesD. learn to be understandingBYou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gray told the BBC. “Elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward (尴尬的) places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle（三角形）. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act according to their decisions. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people, we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact(接触) ,” she said.55. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.A. turn around and greet one anotherB. look around or examine their phoneC. try to keep a distance from other peopleD. make eye contact with those in the elevator56. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator?(The point in the chart refers to one person.)57. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragrap h 7 is closest in meaning to _____.A. ignoreB. judgeC. put up withD. make the best of58. According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.A. the lack of spaceB. someone’s odd behaviorsC. their unfamiliarity with one anotherD. their eye contact with one anotherCSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境) don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable(不可忍受的) pain and will likely make you quit(放弃) well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent(坚持不懈的), hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.59. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success60. Paragraph 2 tells us .A. how to succeedB. why to set a goalC. how to get good at somethingD. how to practice61.That successful people suggest doing what one loves is based on the fact that .A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. it takes a lot of time to succeedD. one gives up his work easily62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Having a goal is important to success.B. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.C. Being good is different from being great.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.DEnough sleep is important to health. The amount of sleep needed depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep takes place. The young may need more sleep than the old, but usually eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount, but others may need more. Every person knows his own need. It is then a matter of good judgment(判断) to satisfy his need. Sleep should always be enough to make one bring back his strength and get ready for a day’s work.Fresh air is necessary to sound sleep. It is not without reason for some people to think that it is practicable to sleep in the open air. When one can keep himself warm, out-of-door sleeping probably gives the body its most complete relaxation(松弛).Ability(能力) to sleep is largely a habit. The conditions referred to only lead to sleep. Out-of-door exercises, a good habit of regular hours and the avoidance(避免) of late eating and worry, which are largely within the control of any person, are all helpful to sound sleep.A bath at bedtime, neither hot nor cool but of body temperature, may be helpful to sleep. Sleep-producing drug(药) should never be taken except when suggested by a doctor.63. We know from the passage is enough for the health of a pupil.A. equal or more than eight hoursB. seven hours or soC. Eight hours or soD. Less than eight hours64. If you want to have a good sleep, is helpful.A. forming the habit of taking sleep-producing drug.B. keeping good habits.C. staying up late night.D. eating something at bedtime.65. The amount of sleep a person probably needs has something to do with .A. his characterB. his controlC. his ageD. his habit66. Before going to bed, you’d better not .A. take a bathB. do any houseworkC. go out for relaxationD. think a lotEChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques(技巧) to improve their reading skills.“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable(有价值的) thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,”George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.”Parents help their children build listening, phonics(拼读法), comprehension(阅读理解) and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy----television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joiners said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.Parents who do not read themselves should not depend on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’ job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.67. The underlined word “distraction” means something that .A. can improve children’s reading.B. can make children interestedC. can make children not pay their attentionD. can help children’s right way of reading68. In the fourth paragraph is the most important.A. reading speedB. reading environmentC. reading skillsD. reading materials69. If the passage is not completed, what will be written after the passage?A. What TV programs children can watch during reading.B. Advice is given to control their children.C. Parents choose reading materials for their children.D. How children improve their reading by themselves.70. Which one would be the best title for the passage?A. Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher.B. How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability.C. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.D. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.第Ⅱ卷（共50分）第四部分：书面表达（共两节，满分50 分）第一节：完成句子(共一节，满分20分)阅读下列各小题，根据每句后的汉语提示，用句末括号内的英语单词完成句子，并将答案写在答题卡上的相应题号后。
