I wan t to steal it when he is asleep.”“No,no,” said the woman. “He must look for his bag tomorrow morning. Then he’ll take you before the judge.” They thought and at last the woman had an idea. “We have forgetful grass,” said the woman, “Why not put some into his food? If he has t he food, he will forget to take his bag away.”“How clever you are!” said the owner, “Don’t forget it when you prepare supper for him.”The old man had the food with the forgetful grass and went to bed. The next morning, when the owner got up, he found the door was open and the old man had left with his bag. He wok e his wife up and said angrily, “What a fool!

She follows a special raw die t and only drinks rainwater.She looks so young that people mistake her to be the daughte r, when she’s out with her husband of 54 years, but I suppose he isn’t complaining.Mrs. Larkins says the secret to her beauty lies in her special d iet, consisting of organic vegetables, fruits, seeds and nuts gr own in her own garden; she calls it the “fountain of youth”. Th e woman doesn’t touch anything that has been cooked. And another strange thing she does is to collect rainwater, to keep her garden blossoming, but also to drink. But the reside nts of Miami-Dade County, Florida, didn’t always have such a healthy lifest yle. In fact, she consumed meat regularly, as her husband us ed to own a meat factory way back inthe 1960s. It was then that she decided tochange her eating habits forever. And what a great decision t hat was. I mean, just look at her!When she started off, Mrs. Larkins was just looking for a few health benefits and never anticipated ()that she would look lik e a 40-year-old at the age of 70. Over the 27 years that she has been eati ng raw, Mrs. Larkins has written two booklets railed Journey t o Health and also produced a DVD containing all her healthy secrets.Her husband, Mr. Larkins, wishes he had followed her exampl e, because now he looks much, much older and also suffers fr om diabetes（糖尿病）and high blood pressure.

Larkins wanted to become young by following his wife’s diet.D.Mrs, Larkins owned a meat factory in the 1960sD“When your mother scolds you, you can look elsewhere and t hink about other things. Just ignore her words. But remember: such a tough attitude cannot be used often.” These words are from a series of cartoons which outline skills for children to fi ght against their mothers. The images have created heated d ebate among Chinese netizens（网民）.Regarded as “a book for children aged 6 to 12 who are alway s scolded by their parents”, the cartoons, drawn by two 10-year-old Beijing girls, list over 20 skills which children can use to de al with their mothers’ anger such as crying, pretending to be a shamed, fleeing into the toilet and pleasing her afterwards. Ea ch skill is described with vivid pictures and humorous notes. T he creativity of the young girls has amazed netizens, the Yan gtse Evening Post reported on Thursday.According to one of the girls’ mothers, her daughter once rece ived a poor mark in an exam, and the mother blamed her and compared her performance with another classmate. The daug hter’s feelings led to her creating the cartoons. The girl’s fathe r, who first posted the pictures on his Sohu Microblog on Mon day, said he hopes parents pay close attention to the pictures, allow children to feel free to develop their own characteristics and try not to criticize them so often.“The cartoons, although an individual case, reflect a modern phenomenon and some of the problems within Chinese family education,” said Yu Qinfang, an expert on family education. According to a survey of 104 children and their parents, Yu disc overed that as many as 51.9 percent of primary school studen ts hate being urged to do thingsby their mothers.“Not giving children enough time and hurryin g them to do things seems to be a very tiny detail within family life, but it is potentially a huge problem which can easily be ig nored by parents. A mother’s blame may lead to negative feeli ngs within her child’s heart,” Yu said. “Parents should learn to blame less and be more patient.”33. Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?A. Yu Qinfang found that primary school pupils disliked being forced to do things.B. The father posted the cartoons on his microblog to show of f his daughter’s cleverness.C. Parents are advised to speak highly of their children freque ntly.D. How to blame children needs parents’ further study of carto ons34.What do we know about the cartoon book according to the passage?A. It is finished by children aged 6 to 12.B. It tells us how to control mothers’ feelings.C. It is intended for primary school teachers.D. It includes a number of vivid pictures and humorous notes.35. Where would you probably find this passage?A. An advertisement.B. A textbook.C. A newspaper.D. A novel.第二节：（共5小题; 每小题2分，共10分）七选五，选项中有两项为多余选项。

Luckily, there are books for that.The Complete Fairy Tales by Hans Christian AndersenAny reader of fairy tales knows Andersen's responsible for the snowy scenes in The Snow Queen,the story of children Kay and Gerda,who must face the goddess-like woman who controls all snowflakes after Kay is kidnapped.Family Life by Akhil SharmaIt's a beautiful yet tragic novel about an Indian family immigrating to America,only to face entirely new hardships.Sharma's novel isn't entirely set in the wintertime, but his poetic descriptions of winter weather as lovely yet isolating make it a great choice for a December read.Frankenstein by Mary ShelleyGo ahead and give up the movie adaptation that has been produced recently and read or re-read the classic itself.You know the story:a scientist driven by his ambition discovers a method for creating life, and spends two years cobbling together a living creature, who later feels angry with him.An American Childhood by Annie Dillard试卷第2页，总10页Dillard's first book is,as its title suggests,about her change from being a self-centered child to being an adult more concerned with the world around her than with her own personal concerns.Her parents are key figures in the story.One famous scene takes place during what the author calls “a big snow”,in 1950.1．Who wrote a novel about The Snow Queen? A ．Annie Dillard. B ．Mary Shelley.C ．Akhil SharmaD ．Hans Christian Andersen.2．Which novel is about an Indian's family? A ．The Snow Queen. B ．Family Life. C ．An American Childhood.D ．Frankenstein. 3．What do we know about Frankenstein? A ．It has been adapted for movies. B ．It's about the secret history. C ．It's about an Indian family.D ．It's a fairy tale. 4．From An American Childhood, we know the main characters are ________. A ．self-centered children B ．adultsC ．scientistsD ．Dillard's parentsIt's never been easier to find vacant(空缺的）jobs or to apply for themnowadays.“With technology,it's much easier,”says Dennis Masel,chief operating officer of a US staffing agency.Mr. Masel says PDF files,mobile devices and fast Internet have changed the way he works.“I used to personally send my resumes (简历) to a client's(客户) office,”he s ays.“Now I can send an application to a client within seconds via the Internet.”Some companies have developed their own mobile apps to simplify the process.Job seekers can post their resumes online and apply for posts with a single mouse click.And it is not only computers but also mobile phones.However, some employers do not trace the applications they receive.It results in candidates becoming disillusioned and less unlikely to get new jobs. Dennis Masel says three steps can help you stand out.First,he advises candidates to reach out to online networking connections at the company where you want to work.“By making a personal connection,you could essentially make your application stand out and get noticed by people.”Second, he says,you must react quickly w hen you see a job you want.“For every position that you are interested in,you have to imagine that thousands of job-seekers are all coming afterthe same position.You have to be quick.Sometimes positions are filled within the span of hours.”Third,use email notices on job listing sites and choose to get only the ones you want.“I absolutely love email notices because I can get exactly the jobs that interest me, and it's really easy for me to basically in,”he says.“Put keywords in,such as the location you wa nt to search and your experience,and get exactly what you want.”5．According to Para.1, people now change the way they work NOT because of . A．fast Internet B．PDF filesC．resume D．technology6．The underlined word “disillusioned” in Paragraph 2 probably means “_______”．A．hopeless B．encouragedC．anxious D．interested7．What can we infer from this passage?A．Every position is filled within the span of hours.B．Email notices will play important roles in job hunting.C．Mobile phones will take the place of computers in job seeking.D．Employers do not acknowledge the applications they receive online.8．By writing the passage, the author intends to________.A．highlight the stress of job huntingB．analyze the cause of failure in job huntingC．introduce some currently popular hi-tech toolsD．offer readers some useful advice about job huntingGregory Kloehn digs through dustbins every day, but not for the reason that most people would think．He isn’t homeless．In fact he is trying to help the homeless.Gregory began his life as a sculptor．But he often felt that his sculptures, which just stood in rich people’s houses for years, lacked a meaningful purpose．So in 201l he decided to put his artistic energies into creating homes to sell—not ordinary homes but small structures built entirely from recycled materials.The thought of creating homes for the homeless didn’t occur to him until the year 2013, when a homeless couple asked him for a tarp(防水布)．Instead of a tarp, Gregory offered themsomething better: a small home with a water tank, a kitchen and a trap for waste．They were试卷第4页，总10页so grateful that Gregory decided to focus his efforts on helping house the homeless population in his city ．And soon his “Homeless Homes Project” was started. Before starting a new home, Gregory, goes hunting for materials by digging through dustbins ．Everything he finds is usable —refrigerator doors become house doors; washing machine doors often serve as windows, and the tops of cars become strong roofs ．He put wheels at the bottom for users to move their homes around easily ．Each home takes two to three days to make ．So far Gregory has donated dozens of homes to the city’s most needy ．While his small low-cost mobile homes are not the final solution to the problem of homelessness, they are really practical and do provide a warm and safe place for the homeless to stay in ．They are simply a way for one man to do something nice for those in need of some help.Gregory has written a book titled Homeless Architecture, where he explains techniques to build those homes and he is now working on weekend workshops ．“A lot of people who hear about what I’m doing want to get involved,” he said ． “Maybe we can meet someplace and put a couple of homes together.”9．Why did Gregory turn from making sculptures to creating homes? A ．He had no home to live in ． B ．He had to make more money. C ．He lost interest in sculpture. D ．He wanted to help the homeless.10．The author mentions the story in Paragraph 3 to tell us____________. A ．Gregory’s small homes were popular among the homel ess B ．how Gregory got the idea of “Homeless Homes Project” C ．the homeless couple asked Gregory to produce more homes D ．housing the homeless in a city was not an easy task 11．What can we conclude from Paragraph 4?A ．Gregory has great trouble hunting for materials for his small houses ．B ．It takes Gregory a long time to produce a home ．C ．Gregory’s work requires imagination and creativityD ．Everything in the dustbins will be used in Gregory’s work ． 12．What can we infer from the last paragraph? A ．Gregory’s proje ct will help more homeless people.B．Gregory doesn’t need to make small homes now．C．Gregory’s work will completely solve the homelessness problem．D．A single person can make no difference to social problems．THE BRONTE FAMIL YYorkshire in England was the setting for two great novels of the 19th century.These were Charlotte Bronte’s Jane Eyre and Emily Bronte’s Wuthering Heights.The youngestsister,Anne,was also a gifted novelist,and her books have the same extraordinary quality as her sisters’．Their father was Patrick Bronte，born in Ireland.He moved with his wife，Maria Bronte，and their six small children to Haworth in Yorkshire in 1820. Soon after,Mrs Bronte and the two eldest children died, leaving the father to care for the remaining three girls and a boy.Charlotte was born in 1816.Emily was born in 1818 and Anne in 1820.Their brother Branwell was born in 1817.Left to themselves,the children wrote and told stories and walked over the hills.They grew up largely self-educated.Branwell showed a great interest in drawing.The girls were determined to earn money for his art education.They took positions as teachers or taught children in their homes.As children they had all written many stories.Charlotte,as a young girl, alone wrote 22 books,each with 60 to 100 pages of small handwriting.Therefore, they turned to writing for income.By 1847,Charlotte had written The Professor; Emily had written Wuthering Heights;and Anne had written Agnes Grey.After much difficulty Anne and Emily found a publisher,but there wa s no interest shown in Charlotte’s book.(It was not published until 1859.) However,one publisher expressed an interest in seeing more of her work.Jane Eyre was already started,and she hurriedly finished it.It was accepted at once;thus each of the sisters had a book published in 1847.Jane Eyre was immediately successful;the other two,however,did not do so well.People did not like Wuthering Heights.They said it was too wild,too animal-like.But gradually it came to be considered one of the finest novels in the English language.Emily lived only a short while after the publication of the book and Anne died in 1849.Charlotte published Shirley in 1849,and Villette in 1853.In 1854 she married Arthur Bell Nicholls.But only a year later,she died of tuberculosis(肺结核) as her sisters had.13．What did the Bronte sisters want to do for Branwell?试卷第6页，总10页A ．Help him write stories.B ．Help him get trained in art.C ．Teach him how to draw well.D ．Teach him how to educate himself.14．We know from the text that ________． A ．Jane Eyre was published in 1847 B ．Charlotte Bronte wrote 22 books in all C ．the Bronte sisters received a good educationD ．Patrick Bronte helped his daughters with their writings15．Which of the following was published after the death of its writer?

It needs to spend a considerable time before you could speak or write the English language. There are only two ways to learn the English language or any other language you prefer.The first one needs a lot of money because of the requirements needed. If you notice, a person migrated(移民) to another country and stayed there for a couple of years and then going back to his home nonnative speaking country, the person became so familiar in speaking English. This is the most effective way of learning to speak and write a language unfamiliar to you.The learner learns the language because he/she is forced to do so because there is no other language being used. Not to mention that the learner should adapt to the environment. It is allstarted from listening. This is the process how language is acquired if you will stay long in a foreign country.The second one is the traditional way. You go to school or learning center specialized in teaching English as the second language. Obviously, this is cheaper than the first, but it needs a considerable time before you will learn to familiarize the language. Today, there are different language centers offering their services for people to learn the language in your own country. They brought all the materials needed because, compared to the first one, t hey’re affordable and reasonable.Nowadays, learning English as the second language is one of the global trends. Since the English language is used in most of the business transactions, you should be on it too. Otherwise you will not go along with the future trends that will arise.25.Now an affordable way to learn a foreign language but not to go abroad is to__．A.go to a foreign language schoolB.study in a language centermunicate with more peopleD.invite a foreigner as a teacher26.The last paragraph mainly tells us ________．A.the global trends of the present worldB.the difficulty of learning a second languageC.the most important way of learning a second languageD.the importance of learning a second language27.From the passage we can learn________．A.learning foreign languages is easyB.there is only one way to learn foreign languagesC.family environment is very helpful for learning foreign languagesD.learning foreign languages is good for your future careerCA walker seriously injured in a mountaintop lightning strike which killed two others is showing signs of improvement, the police have said. A major rescue operation was performed on Sunday following two strikes which hit the Brecon Beacons, South Wales. Two men died, while two others were taken to hospital.A police spokeswoman said, “A man in a serious condition in hospital, following simultaneous(同时发生的)incidents in the Brecon Beacons, has now improved and he is recovering. Officers are continuing to get in touch with the next of relatives of the dead men and enquiries are ongoing. All men were believed to be from England.”Mark Jones,of the Brecon Mountain Rescue Team, described the lightning strike as a freak accident, and something he had not been called out to in 30 years of service.The walking group Ramblers Cymru said that while incidents involving thunder and lightning were rare, electrical storms should be taken seriously by walkers.The organisation's delivery officer, Elly Hannigan Popp, said, “We'd advise everyone to check the weather forecast before starting a walk. If you hear thunder, see lightning or if your hair stands on end, postpone activities even if the sky looks blue and clear. Lightning will strike as far as 10 miles away from any rainfall. Lightning can strike the same place repeatedly—especially tall, pointed, isolated objects.”“If there is no shelter you should keep movin g. And if you become the tallest object, crouch(蹲)in the open twice as far away from the nearest pointed object as it is tall. Make yourself as small as possible, stay on your toes and keep your heels together, as it will allow electricity to go up one foot, through the heels and back into the ground t hrough the other.”28. What can we learn about the victims of the incident?A. Both of the injured men are recovering slowly.B. The bodies of the two men haven't been found.C. The four men involved may be from the same country.D. The police cannot contact the two dead men's relatives.29. Why did the author quote the police spokeswoman in Paragraph 2?A. Because the accident is very serious.B. To announce where the victims come from.C. Because the police are looking into the accident.D. To tell the readers some facts of the incident.30. What’s the meaning of the underlined word in Paragraph 3?A. Unusual.B. Regular.C. Unimportant.D. Frightening.31. What do the last two paragraphs tell us?A. Harm done by lightning.B. Warnings from a delivery officer.C. First aid in a lightning incident.D. Safety tips on a lightning strike.DNot long ago, an airplane was flying over New Zealand. There was a television camera crew on board. Suddenly,out in the night sky,a bright sphere (球体)came into view.Everyone on board saw it and everyone thought,“UFO”—Unidentified Flying Object. The camera crew went into action and started filming. That week people all over the world saw the film of the mysterious light on their television screens. What was it? Was it a spaceship full of visitors from another planet? The captain of the airplane and the film crew believed it was. Other observers had many different explanations. Some said it was Venus(金星). Others said it was just a trick(幻影)of light.An air traffic controller also saw it on his radar screen. He thought that a flock(一群) of birds was causing dots on his radar screen when the “UFO” appeared.Most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planet Venus. At that time of year it was very bright and easy to see. And from a moving airplane it can appear to be moving fast. So far there is no proof that UFOs or spaceships from other planets do exist. These years investigators of UFOs have investigated thousands of sightings or occasions when people said they saw a UFO. Ninety percent of these turned out to have a simple explanation.However, it is a good idea to keep an open mind. Scientists in some countries are trying to persuade their governments to help them study UFOs. And they are planning to cooperate internationally on reporting and investigating sightings of UFOs.After all, it is quite possible that there is life out there in the universe. And if something is alive，it is quite possible that it will come to visit us.32.From the first paragraph,we can know that________.A.a television camera crew and some astronomers were on board the airplane when the “UFO”appearedB.they saw the “UFO” in the daytimeC.the “UFO” is bright at nightD.there are different opinions about Venus33.The captain and the camera crew believed that “UFO”was________.A.the planet VenusB.a visiting spaceship from another planetC.just a trick of lightD.dots caused by a flock of birds34.Why do most astronomers now believe that what these people saw was almost certainly the planetVenus?A.Because they think at the time when it was seen,Venus should be very bright and easy to see.B.Because they saw it with their own eyes.C.Because they have proved UFOs or spaceships from Venus do exist.D.Because it was moving very fast when they saw it.35.What is the main idea of the passage?A.The UFO—an Unidentified Flying Object was filmed by a television crew.B.The discussion about what on earth the UFO is.C.Scientists studying the UFO are trying to ask the governments to offer them help.D.Life in the universe will come to visit our earth.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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑，选项中有两项为多余选项。
