She said, “I love you, but I know this other woman loves you too, and she would love to spend some time with you.”This other woman my wife wanted me to visit was my mother, who has been a widow（寡妇）for 19 years, but the demands of my work and my three children had made it possible to visit her only occasionally. That night I called to invite her to go out for a dinner and a movie.“What’s wrong, are you well?” she asked.“I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you,”I replied. “Just the two of us.”She thought about it for a moment then said, “I would like that very much.”That Friday after work, as I drove over to pick her up, I was a bit nervous. When I arrived at her house, I noticed that she, too, seemed to be nervous about our date. She waited in the door with her coat on. She had curled her hair and was wearing the dress that she had worn to celebrate her last wedding anniversary（周年纪念）.“I told my friends that I was going to go out with my son, and they were impressed,” she said, as she got into the car. “They can’t wait to hear about our meeting.”We went to a nice restaurant, and my mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I had to read the menu. Her eyes could only read large print. When I lifted my eyes, I saw Mom sitting there looking at me.“It was I who used to have to read the menu when you were small,” she said.“Then it’s time that you relaxed and let me return the favor,” I replied.During the dinner, we had a happy conversation. We talked so much that we missed the movie.A few days later my mother died of a massive heart attack. It happened so suddenly that I didn’t have a chance21. How did the mother feel when she agreed to go out with her son?A. UpsetB. UnhappyC. ExpectedD. Surprised22. Why does the writer give a detailed description of the mother’s dress-up in Paragraph 5?A.

They had been to that restaurant when the writer was young.D. The writer’s wife is a good woman with wise.BDelia was a young pianist. Her husband Joe was a talented young painter. They lived in a small flat in New York.Each of them was taking lessons – Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but…when you love your art, nothing’s too much.But soon, the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more.Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano – and he was going to pay her $50 an hour.“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you kept up your lessons.” Delia said that it didn’t matter. She said, “When I’ve made some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing’s too much.”A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took $200 from his pocket. “I met a man from Vermont,” he said, “who bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!”Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was burned. He asked her what had happened. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally, asked me to pour some coffee for her. So I did – and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand.”Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked. She took a deep breath and started to cry. “Oh Joe – I couldn’t get any students so I got a job in a coffee shop. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can’t work any more. I’m sorry, Joe – but we’ll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,”he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a drugstore (药店), and today someone came from the coffee shop to buy cream for a woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you – well, I guessed.”They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art…”Delia put her fingers to his lips. “No, Joe,” she said, “just ‘When you love ...’”24. How did Joe most probably feel when he first knew about Delia’s plan?A. Proud but a bit afraid.B. Excited but a bit angry.C. Curious but a bit sad.D. Cheerful but a bit worried.25. Which of the following is TRUE?A. Sally was teaching the man’s daughter.B. Sally was working in a coffee shop.C. Joe could sell his paintings.D. Joe burned Sally’s hand.26. What did Delia want to say in the end?B. When you love someone, you can’t tell lies.C. When you love your art, nothing’s too much.D. When you love someone, nothing’s too much.27.

Last week, TEENS offered advice on how to memorize new words. If you’re now familiar with those methods, why not try moving on to the next stage by using the following tips to build up your English vocabulary.Repeated encounters (反复遇见)The usual way of “memorizing” new material is through repeating it while it’s still in your mind. However, simply repeating a word seems to have little long-term effect.But one kind of repetition is effective: repetition of encounters with a word. Words stand a good chance of being remembered if they’ve been met at least seven times in your reading, at intervals (相隔一段时间). So, read English magazines, newspapers, and websites regularly.Spacing and reviewIt’s better to distribute (分配) memory work over a period of time rather than do it in a single session (一段时间). This is known as the “principle of distributed practice”, where new vocabulary introduced in one lesson is reviewed in the next, and then in later lessons.Use it or lose itPutting words to use in interesting ways helps add them to your long-term memory. In a study of vocabulary learning, students who made up their own sentences with new words and read them aloud remembered them better than those who learned the words separately and silently. Best of all, students were given the task of silently imagining a picture in their minds to go with a new word. So it might help if learners link words with a mental image.Mix it upLet’s face it —learning words can be really boring, but it doesn’t have to be. Thanks to the Internet, t here are more interesting ways to get the job done. Try watching videos from English-speaking social media celebrities and copying the way they speak. You could even upload your own videos and try becoming a star yourself.1．According to the passage, a good way of memorizing new words is ________.A．simply repeating themB．learning the words silentlyC．reviewing them in one lessonD．reading English magazines regularly2．To make learning words more interesting, we can ________.A．try to become a famous starB．read new words on websitesC．make and upload our own English videosD．draw a picture on the paper with a new word3．What does the passage mainly talk about?A．Where to use new words. B．How to memorize new words.C．When to learn new words. D．What to write with new words.B14、1．If you want to buy a second-hand washing machine, you can call______.A．342-1525 B．342-7391C．342-2691 D．342-73502．Betty and Jack want to hold a party because ____.A．they have lots of books B．they will go abroadC．they want to buy a new house D．they have moved in a new house3．If you want to read some book, you can go to ____.A．31Station Street . B．15 North Street.C．10 Park Street. D．15 Apple Street .C15、Sophia is a robot in Saudi Arabia. She made history at a meeting that was held in the country on Oct 25. On that day, she became the first robot in the world to get citizenship (公民身份), according to The New York Times.In the future, Sophia may have the same rights as a human Saudi Arabian citizen.Sophia looks like a human woman.

He came back in the late afternoon to discover that his suitcase was gone. He was extremely worried as the suitcase had all his important papers, including his passport.He reported the case to the police and then sat there，lost and lonely in strange city, thinking of the terrible troubles of getting all the paperwork organized again from a distant country while trying to settle down in a new one.Late in the evening, the phone rang. It was a stranger. He was trying to pronounce my husband’s name and was asking him a lot of questions. Then he said they had found a pile of papers in their trash can（垃圾桶）that had been left out on the footpath.My husband rushed to their home to find a kind family holding all his papers and documents. Their young daughter had gone to the trash can and found a pile of papers. Her parents had carefully sorted them out, although they had found mainly foreign addresses on most of the documents. At last they had seen a half-written letter in the pile in which my husband had given his new telephone number to a friend.That family not only gave back the important documents to us that day but also gave back our faith and trust in people. We still remember their kindness and often send them a warm wish.1．What did Rashid plan to do after his arrival in Sydney?A．Go shopping B．Find a house C．Join his family D．Take his family2．The girl’s parents got Rashid’s phone number from_______.A．a friend of his family B．a Sydney policemanC．a letter in his papers D．a stranger in Sydney3．Which of the following can be the best title for the text?A．Turning Trash to Treasure(珍宝) B．Living in a New CountryC．From India to Australia D．Making New FriendsE17、Some people have a kind of magic. They will make you comfortable while they are around. You feel at ease while talking to them. How is it done？Here are several skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they'll help people feel relaxed and make friends with them quickly.First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy he is, will answer a question. Onewell-known businesswoman says, "At business lunches, I always ask people what they did that morning. It's a common question, but it will get things going." From there you can move on to other matters—sometimes to really personal questions. And how he answers will let you know how far you can go.Second, once good talkers have asked questions, they listen to the answers. This point seems clear, but it isn't. Your questions should have a point and help to tell what kind of person you are talking to. And to find out, you really have to listen carefully and attentively. Real listening at least means some things. First it means not to change the topic of conversation. If someone insists on one topic, it means he's really interested in it. Real listening also means not just listening to words, but to the voice. If the voice sounds bored, then, it's time for you to change the topic.Finally, good talkers know well how to deal with the moment of saying good-bye. If you're saying it, you may give him a handshake and say, "I've really enjoyed meeting you." If you want to see that person again, don't keep it a secret. Let people know your thoughts.1．Asking questions might be a quite good and suitable way ________.A．for you to make more and more new friendsB．to begin your business talksC．to get things goingD．for you to make a deep and lasting impression on others2．After asking somebody a question, it'll be polite of you to ________.A．agree with what others say all the timeB．listen to his reply attentivelyC．wait impatiently for his answerD．go on asking him more questions3．Generally speaking, good talkers are persons who ________.A．are not good at making any topic interestingB．never talk too much or too littleC．always speak in a gentle wayD．know when they should change the topic of the talk4．If you really want to meet someone again, ________.A．you may take him as your lifelong true friendB．it seems necessary for you to let him know itC．it's proper for you to give him a second handshakeD．it'll be helpful for you to have further understanding of himF18、Have you ever noticed an advertisement which says "Learn a foreign language in six weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation (发音) will be excellent．Just send …" and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that．The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue．And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learned a foreign language in order to read the literature (文学) of the country．Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want．Every year many millions of people start learning one．How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and tapes; some use radio or television programmes; others go to evening classes．Ifthey use the language only twice or three times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school．A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for six or more hours a day．It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken．However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary．They need the language in order to do their work better．For example, scientists and doctors mainly need to be able toread books and reports in the foreign language．Whether the language is learned quickly or slowly, it is hard work．Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students' work for them．1．Before the Second World War people learned a foreign language in order to ________．A．speak to each otherB．listen to the radioC．read something they didn't knowD．write the literature of the other country2．The easiest way for us to learn a foreign language is ________．A．using the language six or more hours a dayB．learning the language at schoolC．studying the language in the foreign countryD．reading the foreign stories as many as possible3．The passage mainly tells us thatA．the more you practise, the quicker you'll learn the languageB．it is possible for you to learn a foreign language in six weeksC．it is not good for you to learn a foreign language by yourselfD．the quicker you learn a foreign language, the more you must pay for itⅤ.书面表达19、写作假定你是李华，你的英国笔友Peter的学校网站“中国文化”栏目拟刊登中国节日风俗及中学生生活的短文。

Julie, our oldest child, came in. She'd been married for three months. I was still trying to get used to her 18 elsewhere. Sometimes I even set her place at the table without 19 . Julie handed me a small group of daffodils (水仙花) and said, “Guess what!” 20 she opened the box on the table and bent to see what was inside. As I put the flowers in 21 , I answered happily, “What?”She began telling me some small 22 of her new life as she made herself a sandwich. She'd learned to make cake by herself, and her boss was 23 of her because of her hard work. We sat at the kitchen table, andI 24 her eat, listening to her every word 25 . It was a 26 visit.

But the fact that such fears are common andnormal doesn’t mean they can be t aken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias(恐惧症) much more strongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological (心理的). It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything--a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr.Cr eswell says: “Your child may always seem to expect the worst tohappen and lack confidence in his or her ability to deal with any challenge.” So don’t make the same old mistake of treating them as ifthey’re silly for being a“scared cat”. Handling the fe ars is essential.Children can be born nervous and, if you have such a baby, you’ll tend to prevent them from getting worried. So if they fear dogs, you’ll keep them away from dogs, but in fact that can just confirm to the child that dogs are scary. What is worse, keeping your child away from what they fear can turn that feeling into a phobia. Instead, you should encourage them to get in touch with the thing they fear, in a safe and supportive environment. Dr. Andy Field, a researcher of childhood fears, says: “You shouldn’t force, for example, a dog anxious child to go up to a dog. But you can approach it yourself, show them there is nothing to be afraid of, stroke( 抚摸) it, and talk about the dog being friendly. Once your child dares to stroke a dog-one that’s good with children, of course---then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them for‘being brave’.”36.Children’s fears are usually taken lightly because .A．they will not develop into phobias B．their influence is psychologicalC．they exist widely in the world D．they will disappear gradually37.If we fail to help children to overcome fears, they will .A．make the same old mistake B．overcome them by themselvesC．experience the worst of things D．grow up lacking self-confidence38.According to Dr. Andy Field, if a child is afraid of a cat, parents should .A．tell the child not to be afraid of it B．show the child how to approach itC．keep the child away from it D．ask the child to stroke it(B)Many facts suggest that children are overweight and the situation is getting worse，according to the doctors．I feel there are a number of reasons for this．Some people blame the fact that we are surrounded by shops selling unhealthy，fatty foods，such as fried chicken and ice cream，at low prices．This has turned out a whole generation of grown-ups who seldom cook a meal for themselves．If there were fewer of these restaurants，then probablychildren would buy less take-away food．There is another argument that blames parents for allowing their children to become overweight．I agree with this，because good eating habits begin early in life，long before children start to visit fast food shops．If children are given fried chicken and chocolate rather than healthy food，or are always allowed to choose what they eat，they will go for sweet and salty foods every time，and this will carry on throughout their lives．There is a third reason for this situation．Children these days take very little exercise．They do not walk to school．When they get home，they sit in front of the television or their computers and play computer games．Not only is this an unhealthy pastime（消遣），it also gives them time to eat more unhealthy food．What they need is to go outside and play active games or sports．The above are the main reasons for this problem，and therefore we have to encourage young people to be more active，as well as steering them away from fast food shops and bad eating habits．39．According to the text，what kind of children may eat more unhealthy food？___ A．Those who often do sports．B．Those who often watch television．C．Those who often have meals at home．D．Those who often walk to school．40．The author thinks that children are becoming overweight because___ A．they can't choose what to eat B．they are too busy to go out and play C．their parents often cook meals for them D．there are too many fast food shops around 41．The word"steering"underlined in the last sentence most probably means___．A．forcing B．guiding C．driving D．moving 42．The main purpose of the text is to___．A．tell a story B．provide facts C．give advice D．compare opinions．(C)As you move around your home, take a good look at the things you have. It is likely that your living room will have a television set and a video, and your kitchen a washing machine and a microwave oven. Yourbedroom drawers will be filled with almost three times as many clothes as you need. You almost certainly own a car and possibly a home computer, holiday abroad at least once a year and eat out at least once a week.Now, perhaps, more than ever before, people are wondering what life is all about, and what it is for. Seeking material success is beginning to trouble large numbers of people around the world. They feel that the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives, leaving them very little time or energy for family or pastimes. Many are turning to other ways of living and downshifting is one of them. Six percent of workers in Britain took the decision to downshift last year.2One couple who downshifted is Daniel and Liz. They used to work in central London. He was a newspaper reporter and she used to work for an international bank. They would go to work by train every day from their large house in the suburbs, leaving their two children with a nanny. Most evenings Daniel wouldn’t get home until eight or nine o’clock and nearly twice a month he would have to fly to New York for meetings. They both earned a large amount of money but began to feel that life was passing them by.Nowadays, they run a farm in the mountains of Wales. “I always wanted to have a farm then,” says Daniel, “and we took almost a year to make the decision to downshift. It’s taken some getting used to, but it’s been wor th it. We have to think twice now about spending money on car repairs and we no longer have any holidays. However, I think it’s made us stronger as a family, and the children are a lot happier.Liz, however, is not quite sure. “I used to enjoy my job, ev en though it was hard work and long hours. I’m not really a country girl, but I suppose I’m gradually getting used to looking after the animals. One thing I do like, though, is being able to see more of my children. My advice for other people wanting to do the same is not to think about it too much or you might not do it at all.”43.The passage tells us that .A．people seldom work long hours to make moneyB．people hardly buy more things than necessaryC．people are sure everything they own is in the right placeD．people realize there is more to life than just making money44.When Daniel was a reporter he ___.A．was well paid B．disliked his jobC．missed his children D．lived in central London45.Daniel and Liz both agree that the move to the farm ____.A．was easy to organize B．has improved family lifeC．was extremely expensive D．has been a total success46.What does the author mean by saying"the long hours work culture to make more money is eating up their lives" in the second paragraph ?A．People work long hours to earn their living.B．To make more money through hard work is the aim of people's life.C．People spent too much time and money eating meals.D．Long hours of hard work occupy too much of people's life.(D)Dates(枣子)have been a common food in the Middle East for thousands of years and they are especially eaten by Muslims during Ramadan(斋月节).Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iran are the world's top producers of dates-but the fruit is also grown in the western U. S. state of California. First brought to the region by the Spaniards in the 18th century, the dateis a money-making crop for some California farmers.Dates are grown in Coachella Valley-a watered agricultural area in southern California. This watered desert valley is the biggest producer of dates in the United States.Sea View Ranch is one of the main growers of dates in Coachella Valley. Owner Dennis Jensen says the first dates were brought to the valley in the early 1900s"There were some travelers who had been to Morocco, Algeria, and different areas and noticed that our weather and our temperatures were very similar to the climate that they had in that place,”explained Jensen. "So a few of them got together and brought some date branch into his area and their tried to raise them and they seem to grow very well.”Like any fresh fruit, there are many kinds of dates but the best of Sea View Ranch is the Mejdool. It is known King of Dates.Demand(需求)for dates pick up during Ramadan, and the pace quickens at Sea View's processing plant(加工厂).Dates are washed and then carefully sorted before being boxed and shipped.But not all varieties of dates ripen(成熟) in time for Ramadan,say's Dennis Jensen "They follow Mother Nature' s cycle. When it' s time to be ripe, which is usually in September, they' 11 be ripe. So, every year,Ramadan will show up about ten days earlier and so our date supply for the beginning of Ramadan wasn't there. So a lot of these date will he frozen for Ramadan for the following year.”The products of these and other date farms in Coachella Valley are shipped around the world, including Europe and the Middle East.47.The passage is clearly written for .A. news readersB. tourist guidesC. historiansD. researchers48.According to the passage,we can guess that .A.Morocco, Algeria is very dryB.Mejdool is the king of fruits produces more dates than Saudi ArabiaD.no dates are ripe for Ramadan49.The underlined words "pick up" is closest in meaning toA. collectB.increaseC. receiveD. continue50.Which of the following about the dates of Coachella Va11ey is Right`?A. They are gown in very wet places.B. They are rive ten days before RamadanC. They are often eaten up in the same year.D. They were introduced in the 20th century3。
