First thing that passed through my mind was that it must be a misunderstanding, such a look was not meant for me, but later I saw the old lady’s face changing every time she saw me, at least seven times, no more doubt that she was very angry with me.I was confused, shocked, and near anger, my brains were spinning, trying to figure out h ow’s and why’s but somehow managed to not show it on my face. Went home, slept a night over it and decided that I have to find a way to break the ice with this lady.The very next day I bought some nice chocolate praying to see her again and when I caught sight of her, went straight to her and apologized telling her “I am so very sorry if I angered you, I had no such intention, please accept my apologizes”, and handled her the chocolate. Surprised, she told me not to mind her, and apologized too. It was an awkward moment, but we made peace and the grimaces换成embarrassment is/ are replaced by smiles now.I am very grateful for this experience, it shows me I still have plenty of work to do with my mind, I learned how it is not easy to take knowledge of, accept and forgive acts that we may feel as unfair, and it taught me of possibilities about fixing a conflict. Best advice to keep for myself? Do not react, do not be quick to judge, sleep it over, and throw in a pinch of empathy for self as well as others.（304词）24. The underlined phrase “out of the blue” in paragraph 1 probably means __________.A. unexpectedlyB. curiously。

I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使……放心)me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home. Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chance to repay someone for the favor I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I madehim comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who had given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago. It was Gordon.11.The author(作者) had to hitch a ride one day in 1978 because____________ .A. the town was far away from SydneyB. she was going home for her holidaysC. she missed the only train back homeD. her work delayed her trip to Sydney12.Which of the following did Gordon do according to Paragraph 2?A.

He watched the girl for three hours.13.The reason why the author offered a lift to the elderly man was that .A. she realized he was GordonB. she had known him for decadesC. she was going to the nearby townD. she wanted to pay back the help she once got14.What does the author want to tell the readers through the story?A. People should offer free rides to others.B. Those who give rides will be repaid.C. Good manners bring about happiness.D. Sometimes giving produces nice results.BYou may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it．You do not need to be strong．But you need to be quick．And you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.First, you must ask yourself, “Where is the wind coming from? Is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” You must think about this all the time on the boat．The wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.Let's start with the wind blowing from behind．This means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction．Then you must always keep the sail outside the boat．It should be at a 90°angle (角度) to the boat．Then it will catch the wind best.If the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat．In this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat．It should be at a 45° angle to the boat．It needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldn't flap (摆动)．It shouldn't look like a flag on a flagpole．If it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.Sailing against the wind is not possible．If you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop．You may want to go in that direction．It is possible, but you can't go in a straight line．You must go first in one direction and then in another．This is called tacking．When you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.15.What should you consider first while sailing?A. Sailors' strength.B. Wave levels.C. Size of sails.D. Wind directions.16.What does the word “It” underlined in Paragraph 4 refer to?A. The boat.B. The sail.C. The wind.D. The angle.17.What do you have to do when sailing against the wind?A. Move in a straight line.B. Allow the sail to flap.C. Lower the sail.D. Tack the boat.18.Where can you probably find the text?A. In a popular magazine.B. In a tourist guidebook.C. In a physics textbook.D. In an official report.CThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors(年长者) have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1.How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?·Finding：About 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.·Step：Remove the 300 kinds of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2.How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?·Finding：Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week. And nearly 30% wash their hands only 4 times a day—half of the number that doctors advise.·Step：We touch our faces around 3,000 times a day-often inviting germs（病菌）to enter our mouth, nose, and eyes. Use toilet paper to avoid touching the door handle. And, most important, wash your hands often with hot running water and soap for 20 seconds.3. How often do you think about fighting germs?·Finding：Seniors are not fighting germs as well as they should.·Step：Be aware of germs. Do you know it is not your toilet but your kitchen sponge（海绵）that can carry more germs than anything else? To kill these germs, keep your sponge in the microwave for 10 seconds.19.What is found out about American seniors?A. Most of them have good habits.B. Nearly 30% of them bathe three days a week .C. All of them are fighting germs better than expected .D. About one third of them brush their teeth only once a day20.Doctors suggest that people should wash their hands _________.A. twice a dayB. three times a dayC. four times a dayD. eight times a day21.Which of the following is true according to the text?A. We should stop touching our faces.B. A kitchen sponge can carry more germs than a toilet.C. There are less than 300 kinds of bacteria in the mouth.D. We should wash our hands before touching a door handle.DOne day, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家) in England, a young boy showed up in my office. It was David. He kept walking up and down restlessly, his face pale, and his hands shaking slightly. His head teacher had introduced him to me before. “This boy has lost his family,” he wrote. “He is understandably very sad and refuses to talk to others, and I’m very worried about him. Can you help?”I looked at David and showed him to a chair. How could I help him? There are problems which psychology doesn’t have the answer to, and which no words can describe. Sometimes the bestthing one can do is to listen openly and silently. And I would do in this way.The first two times we met, David didn’t say a word. He sat there, only looking up to look at the children’s drawings on the wall behind me. I suggested we play a game of chess. He nodded. After that he played chess with me every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence and without looking at me. It’s not easy to cheat in chess, but I admit I made sure David won once or twice.Usually, he arrived earlier than agreed, took the chess board and pieces from the shelf and began setting them up before I even got a chance to sit down. It seemed as if he enjoyed my company. But why did he never look at me?“Perhaps he simply needs someone to share his pain with,” I thought. “Perhaps he senses that I respect his suffering.” Some months later, when we were playing chess, he looked up at me suddenly.“It’s your turn,” he said.After that day, David started talking. He got friends in school and joined a bicycle club. He wrote to me a few times, about his biking with some friends, and about his plan to get into university. Now he had really started to live his own life.Maybe I gave David something. But I also learned that one—without any words—can reach out to another person. All it takes is a hug, a shoulder to cry on, a friendly touch, and an ear that listens.22.When he first met the author, David_________.A. felt a little excitedB. walked stubbornlyC. looked a little nervousD. showed up with his teacher23.As a psychologist, the author __________.A. was uncertain about psychologyB. was ready to listen to DavidC. was able to describe David’s problemD. was sure of solving David’s problem24.David enjoyed being with the author because he____________.A. needed to share pain with the authorB. wanted to ask the author for adviceC. liked the children’s drawing in the officeD. beat the author many times in the chess game25.What can be inferred about David?A. He recovered after months of treatment.B. He liked biking before he lost his family.C. He went into university soon after starting to talk.D. He got friends in school before he met the author.26.What made David change?A. His teacher’s help.B. His exchange of letters with the author.C. The author’s friendship.D. The author’s silent communication with him.EHoney from the African forest is not only a kind of natural sugar, it is also delicious. Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees’ nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey havea strange and unexpected helper — a little bird called a honey guide.The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax(蜡), which is deep inside the bees’ nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lighted.27.Why is it difficult to find a wild bees' nest?A. It's small in size.B. It's buried in the soil.C. It's covered with wax.D. It's hidden in trees.28.What do the words "the follower" in Paragraph 2 refer to?A. A bee.B. A bird.C. A honey searcher.D. A beekeeper.29.The honey guide is special in the way ________.A. it gets its foodB. it goes to churchC. it sings in the forestD. it reaches into bees’ nests30.What can be the best title for the text?A. Wild BeesB. Wax and HoneyC. Honey-Lover's HelperD. Beekeeping in Africa三、完形填空（本大题共20小题，共30.0分）There are times when people are so tired that they fall asleep almost anywhere.

AWild animals are our friends, but many of them are getting fewer and fewer. We should try to protect them. The four animals below are now in danger.Tibe AntetanlopseTibetan antelopes (藏羚羊) are medium-sized animals. They mainly feed on grass. They are usually found in groups of about 20. They are killed for their wool, which is warm, soft and fine and can be made into expensive clothes. Although people can get the wool without killing the animals, people simply kill them before taking the wool. The number of them is dropping year by year. There are less than 75,000 Tibetan antelopes left in the world, down from a million 50 years ago.Golden MonkeysGolden monkeys are mainly found in Sichuan, Gansu, Shanxi provinces and Shengnongjia mountainous area of Hubei Province. Golden monkeys have golden-orange fur. They move around in the daytime, usually in groups of as many as 100 to 200 heads, or 20 to 30 heads. They feed on fruits and young leaves of bamboos. But people are destroying the environment where they live. Trees and bamboos are disappearing, so goldenmonkeys have less and less to eat.ElephantsElephants are very big and strong . They are bigger than any other animals on land. They are grey and have long trunks and tusks. They have poor eyesight, but very good hearing and smell. They can lift heavy things and break down branches with their trunks. Elephants are very friendly towards each other and towards their neighbors. Normally, they live in a group for many years. Young male elephants do not leave the group until they are about 12 years old. Now, there are very few elephants in the world. The number of them is becoming smaller and smaller because their living areas are used for farming. Also, people hunt them for their tusks.WolvesWolves are not very big. They have grey fur. Wolves have very good eyesight, hearing and smell. Wolves' food is various. They eat animals, insects and snails. They are friendly to each other and never attack people. They do not kill for fun. Wolves are in danger, too. They are losing their living areas because people cut down forests. Soon they will have no home or food.1. Tibetan antelopes usually live in groups of about _______.A. 20B. 30C. 100D. 2002. Which of the following animals are the biggest on land?A. Tibetan antelopes.B. Golden monkeys.C. Elephants.D. Wolves3. Which of the following sentences is right?A. There are less than 7,500 Tibetan antelopes left in the world now.B. Golden monkeys usually move around during the night.C. Elephants have good eyesight, but very poor hearing and smell.D. Wolves are friendly to each other and they never attack people.4. What can be the best title of the passage?A. Wild animals in dangerB. How to hunt wild animalsC. Animals in the zooD. How to train the animalsBAs traditional Chinese art, paper cutting has a long history. The first and earliest paper cutting was found in China 1,500 years ago. But this traditional art is at risk of disappearing now. Luckily, Voyo Woo, a Chinese immigrant（移民）in America, is trying to bring this art back to life.One Saturday in 2014, Ms Woo held a paper cutting show at a shopping center near Washington. She got much fun and peace doing it. She hoped more people would enjoy it. Ms Woo began to study the art of paper cutting as a 14-year-old girl in her hometown in China. She said all the students at school had to learn paper cutting. But she had a deep love for it. So her teacher spent more time teaching her after class. Later, she won the second prize in a national painting and art competition. Ms Woo went to America after she finished collage in 2008. Soon after that, she took part in an activity to promote（宣传）Chinese paper cutting. And then she was invited to show the artin many important activities.“It is important to promote th is art to Americans or anyone who is int erested in it.

A team gets better. A kid practices more and swims a personal best or learns a new moveon the basketball court. In 2006, two things happened that got me thinking about change—in sports and in life.One of them is tennis champion Andre Agassi, who retired in 2006. Agassi was a terrific player who won 60 titles, including eight major championships(冠军称号). But his greatest accomplishment（成就）might have been how much he changed during his career.When he was young, Agassi was a show off who seemed to care only about himself. He didn't train very hard, but he won matches because of his tremendous（极大的）talent. Eventually, though, injuries and his bad attitude caught up with him. He fell from No.1 in the world ranking to No.141. So Agassi changed. He trained harder and became a world-class player again. More importantly, he changed as a person. He was nicer to fans and opponents（对手）. He stopped thinking just about himself and started thinking about others. Through his Andre Agassi CharitableFoundation, he raised more than $60 million to help disadvantaged kids around his hometown of Las Vegas, Nevada. He even started a school, the Andre Agassi College Preparatory Academy, for at-risk kids.At the start of a new year, lots of people promise themselves they will change. They might vow to get in good physical shape, do better in school or be nicer to others. Changes such as those can be difficult. But they do happen. Just remember Andre Agassi: It wasn't easy, but he changed, and changed for the better.8. According to the writer, which of the following may be the greatest achievement for Agassi?A. He once ranked No.1 in the world rankings.B. He won 60 titles.C. He changed much during his career.D. He won 8 major championships.9. What does the underlined work “vow” in the 4th paragraph probably mean?A. promise.B. agree.C. become.D. prove.10. What do you know about Andre Agassi Charitable Foundation?A. It is intended to help at-risk kids.B. It is a charity school set up by Agassi.C. Some disadvantaged kids can get help from it.D. Agassi runs it with his prize money.11. What might be talked about in the paragraphs following this passage?A. What achievements Agassi has made after he changed for the better.B. How we can change for the better.C. Another thing happened in life that got the writer thinking about change.D. Some assessments(评价) about Agassi from different people.DLaptop 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 theywant. Within five years, each of the 1500 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."12. The main purpose of the laptop program is to give each student a laptop to _____.A. use for their schoolworkB. access the InternetC. work at homeD. connect them to libraries13. Which of the following is TRUE about Westlake College?A. All teachers use computers.B. 1500 students have laptops.C. It is an old college in America.D. Students there can do everything.14. “A window on the world” in the last paragraph means that students can _____.A. attend lectures on information technologyB. travel around the worldC. get information from around the worldD. have free laptops15. What can we infer (推断)from the passage?A. The program is successfulB. The program is not workable.C. The program is too expensive.D.

With the full package, the program organizer is supposed to ______________.A. inform students of their full flight detailsB. look after students throughout the programC. offer students free sightseeing tripsD. collect students’ luggage in advanceBLike many lovers of books, Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, seldom walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.When Mary was hospitalized with heart trouble, they decided it was time to get serious. Richard, who worked for a business company, was eager to work for himself, and Maryneeded to slow down from her job.They started by talking to bookstore owners and researching t he industry. “We knew it had to be a specialty store because we couldn’t match the big chains dollar for dollar,” says Mary. Something caught her attention: She’d read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries, and many buyers spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard were themselves mystery readers.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Cafénear their home. With three children in college, the couple could not spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they drew some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank. The store nearly broke even in its first year, with only $120,000 in sales. But Mary was always coming up with new ways to attract customers. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered gifts to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited dozens of writers to discuss their stories.Today Mystery Lovers makes sales of about $420,000 a year. After paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.“The job you love may not go hand in hand with a million-dollar income,” says Richard. “This has always been about an enjoyable life for ourselves, not about m aking a lot of money.”24. When Mary was in hospital, the couple decided to______________.A. put their plan into practiceB. read many more booksC. take heart trouble seriouslyD. put their health in the first place25. Why did they decide on a specialty bookstore?A. Many bookstore owners told them to.B. They hope to compete with the big chains.C. There was a large sale share(份额) in mystery books.D. Increasing number of people like to read.26. How did they keep their store earning money?A. By borrowing a lot of money.B. By using creative sales methods.C. By offering gifts and dinners for free.D. By working hard with the sales clerks.27. According to Richard, the main purpose of running the bookstore is __________.A. to become a millionaireB. to get to know more writersC. to set up a big chainD. to do what they like to doCWhen I was small and my grandmother died, I couldn’t understand why I had no tears. But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to work well. One study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we're very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through cr ying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying—holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering—can be bad for physical health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don’t fight it. It’s a natural—and healthy—emotional response (反应).28. Why didn’t the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Th e author doesn’t give the explanation.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. Because her father did not want her to feel too sad.29. It can be inferred from the text that ______.A. there are two ways to keep healthyB. crying does more good to health than laughingC. emotional health has close connection with healthD. crying and laughing come from different parts of the brain.30. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.31. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We CryD. A New Scientific DiscoveryDIf you get into the forest with your friends, stay with them always. If you don’t, you may get lost. If you really 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 by staying in one place.There is another way to help your friends or other nearby people to find you. Give them a signal (信号) by shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Any signal given three times is a call for help.Keep up 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 that they have heard your signal. They give you two shouts, two whistles, or two gun-shots (枪声). When someone gives you a signal, 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―cover up to the holes with branches (树枝) with lots of leaves. Make yourself a soft bed with leaves and grass.What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leaveyour little house to look for a river. 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.32. If you are lost in the forest, you should _______.A. stay where you are and give signals three timesB. walk around the forest and shout so that your friends could hear youC. try to find your friends as soon as possibleD. try to get out of the forest and shout for help33.

This passage mainly tells you ______.A. when you hear a signal always three times, it is a call for helpB. what you should do if you get lost in a forestC. any signal given twice means an answer to a call for helpD. how you can live longer in a forest第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
