If you are still planning what you are going to do during the days, why not enjoy a visit to a theme (主题)park?Lots of theme parks have roller coasters (过山车). A roller coaster is anything that may appear dangerous while in fact, it's perfectly safe for family fun as long as you are over the height of 48 inches. If you like heart-stopping thrills, this "scream machine" is your best choice. For example, Kingda Ka is a steel roller coaster located at Six Flags Great Adventure in the United States. It is the world's tallest roller coaster, the world's second fastest roller coaster. Riding this roller coaster makes you feel like you are flying. One second you may be looking at the sky and the next you are looking straight down at the ground!Does this sound scary (惊悚的) to you? If so, we will take you to other theme parks around the world. Ocean Park in Hong Kong is the first stop. You can walk through an underwater tunnel as sharks swim overhead or watch a dolphin swimming show. Besides, cable cars will carry you more than 200 metres to the top of the park.Europa-Park is another good choice. If you think a few' days are not enough to travel through Europe, this theme park in Germany will show you what other European countries are like. Europa-Park has 12 country-themed areas. You can first ride French bobsleds (雪橇), then eat Greek sandwiches and then take a roller coaster based on the Russian space station—all in one day! Besides, Europa-Park is very real. The street lights in the Spanish part are from Spain and the small houses in the Swiss part come from Switzerland.Our last stop is Universal's Islands in the US, a world-famous dinosaur theme park. If you are a fan of dinosaurs, it is just the place for you. You can have an unforgettable experience and see dinosaurs in their natural homes. But be careful! Escaping from the terrible mouth of a hungry dinosaur is a 26-metre drop into the darkest darkness!69.

He told his employer (雇主) of his plans to leave the house building business and live a more relaxing life with his wife and children. He would miss the paycheck, but he needed to retire. They thought they could support themselves for the rest of their life.The employer was sorry to see his good worker go and asked if he could build just one more house. The carpenter said yes, but in time it was easy to see that his heart was not in his work. He turned to bad workmanship and used poor building materials.It was an unlucky way to end his working life. When the carpenter finished his work and the employer came to see the house, he handed the front door key to the carpenter. "This is your house," he said, "my gift to you."What a shock! What a shame! If he had only known he was building his own house, he would have done it all so differently. Now he had to live in the home he had built none too well.So it is with us. We build our lives in a distracted (不专注的) way, willing to put up less than the best. At important points we do not give the job our best effort. Then with a shock we look at the situation we have created and find that we are now living in the house we have built. If we had realized that, we would have done it differently.It is the only life you will ever build. Even if you live it for only one day more, that day deserves to be lived with dignity (尊严).The sentence on the wall reads, "Life is a do-it-yourself project." Who could say it more clearly? Your life today is the result of your attitudes and choices in the past. Your life tomorrow will be the result of your attitudes and choices you make today.88. The old carpenter lived quite a rich life with his wife and children, didn't he?89. Why did the old carpenter want to retire?90. What did the old carpenter's employer ask him to do before he retired?91. How did the carpenter do the job his employer asked him to do?92.

It was baseball.I loved everything about the game — the crack of a bat, the excitement of chasing a ground ball across short green grass, even watching the games on our old black-and-white TV. Yet looking back now, nothing was quite as important to me as the annual ritual (老规矩) of playing catch with my dad.Dad was never much of a baseball fan, but as green leaves began to shoot on bare branches and warmth returned to the air, he would grab his old mitt (棒球手套) and head out to the yard with me just the same. There was something beneficial about playing catch with him, the hum of the ball as it sailed through the air, and the friendly pop as it hit the leather netting. We may have been 50 feet apart, but the flight of that ball connected us, forming as strong a relationship as any father-son talk ever could have.I was never the star of my Little League team, yet Dad never cared about that. Every year, he would be out there, waiting to field any false throw I sent his way.As I grew older, I realized that our game was a reflection of our relationship — that even if a problem didn’t involve a glove and a ball, Dad would always be there to handle anything I threw in his direction. His devotion to our springtime ritual showed his devotion to me — not only to my love of baseballl but also to my life.I’ve often heard it said that “the devil is in the details.” Now I realize that in my relationship with my father, love was in the details.66.

In its original sense, however, culture includes all identifying aspects of a racial group, nation, or empire: its physical environment, history, and traditions, its social rules and economic structure, and its religious beliefs and arts.The central beliefs and customs of a group are handed down from one generation to another. It is for this reason that most people regard culture as learned rather than innate. People acquire a culture because they are not born with one. The process by which a person develops a taste for regional foods, accented speech, or an outlook on the world over time, therefore, is known as enculturation (文化适应).Cultures are often identified by their symbols —images that are familiar and coated with meaning. Totem poles (图腾柱) carved with animals and creative figures suggest aspects of the Native American peoples of the Pacific Northwest but more literally represent specific tribes (部落). In Asia and India, the color of yellow is connected with temples while in ancient China it was a color only the emperor’s family was allowed to wear. Thus, different cultures may respond to a symbol quite differently. For example, to some a flag may represent pride, historical accomplishments, or ideals; to others, however, it can mean danger or oppression.To individuals unfamiliar with cultures outside their own, the beliefs, behaviors, and artistic expression of other groups can seem strange and even threatening. A society that ranks all other cultures against its own standards is considered to be ethnocentric(from the Greek ethnos, meaning “people,” and kentros, meaning “center”). A strongly ethnocentric society assumes also that what is different from its own culture is likely to be inferior and, possibly, wrong or evil.All people are ethnocentric to some degree, and some aspects of ethnocentrism, such as national pride, contribute to a well-functioning society. An appreciation for one’s own culture, however, does not prevent acceptance and respect for another culture. History documents the long-term vigour and success of multicultural groups in which people from numerous and various cultural backgrounds live and work together. Extreme ethnocentrism, in contrast, can lead to racism — the belief that it is race and racial origin that account for variations in human characteror ability and that one’s own race is superior to all others.74. What does the word “innate” in Paragraph 2 most probably mean?A. Instinctive.B. Developed.C. Believable.D. Cultivated.75. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Different interpretations of a symbol help to distinguish one culture from another.B. An ethnocentric country opens welcoming arms to cultures different from its own.C. Culture consists of some positive features of a racial group, nation or empire.D. People from various cultural backgrounds often reach an agreement on some image.76. What can be inferred from the passage?A. All aspects of ethnocentrism can produce negative effects on a society.B. Racism is unlikely to bring about serious conflicts among different cultures.C. Respect and acceptance of different cultures are a proper cultural attitude.D. Countries with a strong sense of national pride play a superior role in the world.77. Which might be the best title of the passage?A. Culture, the origin of racial superiorityB. Culture, a faithful mirror of historyC. Culture, the vigour of world developmentD. Culture, a distinctive identity of a nationSection CDirections: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Some of the most popular programmes on British television, all with their regular millions of loyal viewers, are ‘soaps’ such as Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale. (A ‘soap’ is an informal word for a ‘soap opera’, which is a television story, in daily or weekly episodes (连续剧集), about the daily lives of the characters in it.)In every soap there is comedy and tragedy, and storylines of all kinds. In every soap there is the inevitable gossip, and there is the essential character who brings misfortune on himself — or herself, the spiteful woman who hates the success of her sister in marrying a man with money and whose childish behavior splits the family.To some degree, of course, the regular episodes provide many people with an adult kind of comic, rather like Dickens’ serialized novels did. At times, the actions and characters in them seem quite realistic; at other times, they go to the other extreme and show actions that look as if they are straight from the pen of the best fiction writers. But perhaps the fall into clearly fictional comedy or tragedy is necessary to remind regular viewers that their daily amount of ‘soap’ is no more and no less than a shot of fiction, and that the characters are not real.Certainly life is never dull in a soap. If one of the adolescents buys a motorbike and a young child lives round the corner, you can bet the two will meet in an accident. If two people fall in love and get married, you can be sure that a friend will cast an insult on the character of one of them, enough to break up the marriage. After all, this is not life; this is a soap! Reality makes way forfiction. The viewers who think that they are watching even a reflection of reality only bring disappointment to themselves. But there are still viewers who follow the comings and goings of the characters on screen with unreasoning faith, believing that the events are real when characters are injured or ill, or even die, and send cards or flowers with best wishes, congratulations or sympathies.What many of us find difficult to understand is just why soaps have become so popular?(Note: Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN EIGHT WORDS.)78. Coronation Street, Eastenders and Emmerdale are popular British soaps which ______.79. What are the two necessary elements of a soap opera?80. The regular viewers need to be reminded that the soap operas are ______.81. What do some TV viewers do when they are mad about the soaps?第II卷（共47分）I.

2014届上海市各区县中考一模首字母总汇答案

2014届上海市各区县中考一模英语试卷首字母填空总汇（一）松江区C. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper wordsAn 8-year-old Miami boy, Joshua Williams, is president of his own non-profit organization---Joshua‟s Save the World. His organization provides food and clothes for p 81people and families in Miami and the neighboring areas.Joshua has r 82 thousands of dollars for his organization. He started to help the hungry when he was just 5. He was in his mother‟s car when they passed a beggar. Joshua asked his mother to stop so that he could give him $20. “It‟s my m 83 . I want to help him, Mum,” Joshua recalled. One year later, he created his organization with the help of his mother and Francine Hanna, a local businesswoman. “He just thought that was what he wanted to do,” his mother said. “And there was nothing that could s 84 him.”The organization now provides clothing, furniture and food for the poor people in America. At the same time, Joshua never misses a c 85 to encourage other people to follow what he did whether at church or on the streets. Earl Laird lost his job two years ago and hasn‟t managed to get a n86 one. Without money, he can‟t pay for the flat and has to live on the street.

Inside Fred‟s workshop, Sylvan sits next to Fred, who is making adjustments(调试) to their new i 81 – a shopping cart.Sylvan: My customers don‟t like our shopping cart.Fred: Really? So they p 82 shopping with those heavy baskets?Sylvan: (nods) I‟ve got a huge crowd of customers every day, b 83 none of them wants to use the cart.Fred: I don‟t understand. We invented the cart so that people don‟t need to carry a basket around the shop.Sylvan: (laughs) And so that they will buy more groceries!Fred: So why don‟t they like the shopping cart?Sylvan: Young men think that pushing a cart around makes them look w 84 and slow, and young women think it‟s unfashionable.Fred: Of course it isn‟t fashionable right now. It‟s only just been invented! But I‟m sure older people will appreciate it. Sylvan: Um…Fred: What? They do n‟t like the cart e 85 ?Sylvan: Well, they think pushing it makes them look helpless!Fred: Oh no. We need to do something, Fred. We can‟t just g 86 up on this invention!Sylvan: We won‟t. (He gets up and walks around the room. Suddenly, he stops.) A ha! I‟ve got an idea.Fred: What is it?Sylvan: I‟ll hire(雇佣) some good-looking guys and girls to push the carts around and pretend they‟re shopping.Fred: Oh! So the real shoppers will see these attractive people using the carts and think, “Hey, if it‟s good enough for them, it‟s good enough for me!”Sylvan: E 87 .Fred: Hey! Maybe you could get one of the girls to greet your customers and encourage them to use the cart.Imagine this: romance is all around you, you have met and fallen in love with the most wonderful person.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）Chuck Wall teaches management and human relations at Bakersfield College. He walked into the class one day and told his students that their homework was to perform one act of random (任意的) kindness. His students did not c 81 understand the homework and didn‟t know what to do, but the professor would not answer their questions. He encouraged his students to work it out by themselves.One week later, the students entered the classroom excitedly to share their s 82 . One student gave away blankets to the homeless. Another reported on helping an old man cleaning the house, and another student had been trying to f 83 a long, lost friend. Students were energized (给予活力) by the homework and wanted other people to be kind too. And luckily, the local businesses provided them with some money and materials. With the s 84 of them, the students made stickers to put on cars that invited people to do something kind for others. They sold the stickers and decided to donate the money to a center for the blind―not surprising as Professor Wall is blind.Since then, kindness activities have been very p 85 in schools around the world. Many schools organize a Random Acts of Kindness Week, around November 13th, to celebrate World Kindness Day. Some schools use each day of Random Acts of Kindness Week to perform different kind acts, such as making a new friend, helping someone, doing community service, or r 86 money for a charity. Students learn to consider other people and think about how small actions can make the world a b 87 place.松江区(C) 81. poor 82. raised 83. money 84. stop 85. chance 86. new 87.

However, instead of staying at home, Li Chunyuan, a Junior 1 student at No. 42 Middle School, went out with her classmates. They made posters by t 81 and called on people not to set off fireworks.The students did this in order to r 82 air pollution. Since January, many cities in China have seen a lot of foggy days. In Beijing, only five days in January were free of smog (雾霾).An official for the Ministry of Environmental Protection told Beijing News that PM2.5 pollution is the m 83 problem with air pollution.Poor air has done harm to people’s health. Children and the elderly are more at risk. A report from Beijing C hildren’s Hospital shows that half of the p 84 had respiratory(呼吸道的) problems from Jan. 5 to 11.To respond to the air problem, the Chinese government and many Chinese people have started to take a c t i o n.B e i j i n g a n n o u n c e d a p l a n t o u s e c l e a n f u e l i n g o v e r n m e n t vehicles and plant trees. It a 85 asked citizens to set off fewer fireworks for the Spring Festival celebration.They suggested that cars with large emissions (排放) should be banned (禁止) and factories should be closely watched. Three students from No. 4 High School in Beijing wrote a report to advise h 86 to fight the air pollution.“We hope more people will j 87 us to protect our environment. With all our efforts, the blue skies will certainly return soon,” said Shi Yucong, one of the three students.2.奉贤How can I win a Nobel Prize for writing? Here’s the secret from this year’s winner: make it short, keep it real, and work hard.Canadian author Alice Munro, 82, was a 81 the 2013 Nobel Prize in literature (文学). She is known for her short stories about personal relationships of ordinary people, usually women.Munro was born in a farmer family in Ontario. The family was very poor. Munro did a lot of physical work a 82 a young girl.But she decided to be a w 83 when she was 12. She turns her hard childhood into great writing ideas.The story Dear Life, for example, opens with a description of the neighborhood in which Munro grew up.B 84 , she talked about her poor relationship with her mother in many of her stories, such as Lives of Girls and Women and Friend of My Youth.Since she p 85 her first book in 1968, Munro has won many awards, with the Nobel Prize as her biggest honor. But Munro doesn’t see h 86 as a talented writer.“I’m the opposite of a writer with a quick gift. I don’t grasp it very readily (轻而易举地) at all, the ‘it’ being whatever I’m trying to do,” she said.Do you d 87 of becoming a writer while sadly admitting you are not that talented? Munro has a tip for you: use notebooks and write a lot.“I have lots of notebooks that contain this te rribly clumsy (蹩脚的) writing,” she said. But it helps her sort out her mind. “Stories would just be working in my head for so long that when I started to write I was deep into them.”Do you get angry when your friends sing loudly while you are trying to work or when your best friend does not wait for you after school?If you do, you need to take control of your feelings. Getting angry with others can cause you to l 81 friends.Gray Egeberg, an American high school teacher, has written a book named My Feelings Are Like Wild Animalsto help you control your feelings. The book tells how to stay cool when b 82 things happen.The book says that getting angry only makes problems w 83 . It can never make them better. “ Getting angry is not a natu ral way to act, ” the book says. “ It’s just a habit, like smoking. ”The book says you can control your feelings e 84 ... all you have to do is to tell yourself not to be angry.The book gives many tips to help you if you get angry frequently. Here are the top three.● Keep a r 85 . Every time you get angry, write down why you are angry. Look at it later and you will see you get angry so often.● Ask your friends to s 86 talking to you when you get angry. Leave you alone. This will teach you not to be angry.● Do something d 87 . When you get angry, walk away from the problem and go somewhere else. Try to laugh.4.金山区Butterfly fairyThere was once a little girl. She had no family, and no one loved her. One day, when she was walking through a field, she noticed a small butterfly c 81 in a thorn bush（荆刺丛）. The more the butterfly tried to free itself, the deeper the thorns cut into its body. The little girl c 82 let go the butterfly. Instead of going away, the butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy.“For your kindness,” the butterfly fairy said to the little girl, “I will give you any w 83 you would like to have.”The little girl thought for a moment and then replied, “I want to be h 84 .”The fairy said, “Very good.” Then she got close to the girl’s ear and said something to her in a low voice.As the little girl grew up, there was no one in the village s 85 happy as she. Everyone asked the secret of her happiness. She would smile and only answer, “The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a butterfly fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old, the neighbours all came to visit her. They were a 86 that her secret of happiness would die with her. “Tell us, please,” they begged, “tell us what the fairy said.”The old woman smiled and said, “She told me that everyone, old or young, poor or rich, beautiful or ugly, n 87 me. She said that always helping others would make my dream come true.”5.静安区Who is managing things in your town or city? Someone repairs a broken window in the library. Someone makes sure the traffic lights work. Someone pumps clean water into the pipes. Someone c 81 for the animals in the zoo.The people who do these jobs are part of the government. In most towns or cities, they work for the mayor (市长). The mayor works with other o 82 . They manage the city and make sure that the work gets done. They fix old things, like roads and bridges. They build new things, like schools and parks. If people c 83 , they listen carefully. Then they chan ge things that are wrong. For example, if a law isn’t f 84 to some people, they change it. They try to do what the people want.the same mayor. If there are problems, they might elect a new mayor.On Election Day, people go to different places to vote(投票). Then all the votes are c 86 . The mayor may win or lose. For the winner, there is lots of excitement! There is a big party with balloons f 87 in the air!The next day, it’s time to run the city or town again. The mayor must do a good job. The office members must work hard, too. After all, in a few years, there will be another Election Day.2.普陀区Mary and her husband, Richard Goldman, loved books. Like many lovers of books, theys 81 walked past a bookstore without stopping to look inside. They often talked of opening their own store one day.In order to realize their w 82 , they started by talking to bookstore owners and researching book business. One figure caught Mary’s attention: She had read somewhere that about 20 percent of books sold were mysteries(推理小说), and many buyers of mysteries spent more than $300 a year on books. She and Richard themselves were mystery r 83 and had a big collection of such books.On Halloween 1992, they opened the Mystery Lovers Bookshop and Café near their home. With three childrenin college, it was i 84 for the couple to spend all the family’s money to start a shop. To cover the $100,000 cost, they used some of their savings, borrowed from relatives and from a bank.In order to a 85 customers, Mary always had new ways. The shop had a coffee bar and it offered presents to mystery lovers and served dinners for book clubs that met in the store. She also invited many writers to d 86 their stories with the buyers to let them understand the stories better. Now after paying taxes, business costs and the six part-time sales clerks, Richard and Mary together earn about $34,000.“The job we love may not go hand in hand with lots of money,” says Richard. “We do this to givean e 87 life to ourselves. This is not about making a lot of money. What matters is that we gain happiness from it.”3.徐汇区Most people know that intelligence quotient (IQ) is important, but EQ is probably more importantin daily life. When facing an exam, EQ helps us to manage our feelings. When getting along with friendsor parents, EQ helps us to c 81 well.EQ is shaped partly by genetics（基因）. You can see some babies are quiet, while others are not.B 82 , EQ is something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others. If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. Having a high EQ needs a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to i 83 our EQ. But what are they? Let’s take a look!1. Know yourselfMost people feel many different feelings t 84 the day. Some feelings like surprise last just a few seconds. Others, like happiness and sadness, may stay around much l 85 . Being able to recognize these everyday feelings is the most basic of all EQ skills.2. Manage yourselfWe all get angry. We all have disappointments. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our feelings. When you are angry with someone, take a deep breath and s 86 count to 10. This way, you can calm down.3. Encourage yourselfWhen you fail an exam, you may be disappointed. But there is something more effective you can do—learnto encourage yourself. It gives you the energy and c 87 to move on.

The passages will be read twice, but the questions will be spoken only once. When you hear a question, read the four possible answers on your paper and decide which one would be the best answer to the question you have heard.Questions 11 through 13 are based on the following passage.May 1st is International Workers’Day, a significant day for workers. Earlier in the 1800s, workers worked nearly 16 hours each day. From the early 20th century, labor unions in many countries fought for shorter workdays. “Eight hours labor, eight hours recreation, and eight hours rest”gradually became a popular saying.If you wish to party for a whole week, join the nurses! May 6th begins National Nurses’ Week, which ends on May 12th, International Nurses’Day. That day, Florence Nightingale’s birthday, celebrates the profession and her contribution to modern nursing.Or perhaps you feel like celebrating food. Make some chocolate chip cookies on May 15th, National Chocolate Chip Day! You could give cookies together with something made of bright green to a loved one. May’s brilliant green jewel represents wisdom, patience and growth --- all necessary for a love that lasts.Happiness, sweetness and a pure heart are represented through May’s flower, the Lily of the Valley. Finally, May 31st is World No Tobacco Day. About 6 million people a year die from tobacco use. So put out that cigarette!(Now listen again, please.)Questions:11. Which of the following celebrations lasts more than one day according to the passage?12. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?13. What serves as the best title for the passage?Questions 14 through 16 are based on the following passage.In the early 20th century, Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner discovered that fatal results of blood transfusions were caused by a reaction to the donor’s blood. He classified people into four blood groups --- A, B, AB and O --- based on the proteins in their blood. Receiving blood from a donor whose blood type was not well-matched would hurt or kill a patient. For this discovery, Landsteiner received the 1930 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine.Many Asian people believe that one’s blood type relates to one’s personality. People with blood type A are seen as loyal and having high standards but as too anxious. Type B people are considered creative and positive but selfish. Those with type AB are considered logical, calm but changeable. Type O people tend to be friendly, passionate and ambitious but inflexible. One book even proposed that blood types reveal people’s ideal diets and lifestyles. However, little scientific evidence supports blood-type diets or personality tests. Maybe more study of this will lead to another Nobel Prize! (请以调侃的语气朗读这句话)(Now listen again, please.)Questions:14. For what did the Austrian scientist Karl Landsteiner receive a Nobel Prize in 1930?15. How do Type B people tend to be according to the passage?16. What is the speaker’s attitude to the idea of blood-type diets or personality tests?Section CDirections:In Section C, you will hear two longer conversations. The conversations will be read twice. After you hear each conversation, you are required to fill in the numbered blanks with the information you have heard. Write your answers on your answer sheet.Blanks 17 through 20 are based on the following conversation.M: Hello?W: Hello, Roger. It’s Laurence.M: Hi, Laurence! Haven’t heard from you for ages! How are you?W: I am fine. How is everything going with you and Millie?M: We are just fine!W: Good! I am calling to ask if you and Millie have any plan this Saturday night. If not, wouldyou like to come over for a meal with my family?M: Oh, we can’t, I’m afraid. An old friend of mine is getting married and we’re going to Scotlandfor the wedding ceremony. What a shame! It’d be nice to see you again.W: Yeah, it is a pity. How about the coming weekend instead?M: Let me see ... Ok, I think that should be fine with us.W: Great! We’ll look forward to seeing you. Give me a ring in a week or so to arrange the time.M: Okay, then. Thanks for calling. See you!W: See you!(Now listen again, please.)Complete the form. Write ONE WORD for each answer.Blanks 21 through 24 are based on the following conversation.M: Welcome to our School Union Program today, Lisa. Tell us a little bit about yourself first.W: Well, I’m twenty-one, and I’m a junior at the University of Chicago.M: How are you paying for your college education?W: My expenses for every semester are $15,000. At the start of each semester my parents pay the$10,000 tuition. I have to earn the rest myself.M: How do you do that?W: I have a part-time job at a hotel.M: Good for you!

When I was 76 , I remembered what I had promised and went on.As the time came, I felt quite confident. On the first day I came fourth in the 1500-metrerace, but I was far from pleased 77 what I wanted most was the most exciting momentof the sports meeting – the relay race(接力赛). I would run the last leg for my team.With a shot, the race began. All the students were cheering for their team. The competition was so close that I began to feel nervous. Before my turn came, my team was fallingbehind the others. 78 , I almost dropped the stick when I was trying to take it.But after that, there was nothing in my mind except to run as fast as possible. Just when I was near the finishing line, my legs gave out (筋疲力尽). Then my 79 came to mind again and encouraged me to go on. To my surprise, I was the first to cross the finishing line!At last, I had proved to myself and those who had often laughed at me that I am not weak at all! My classmates greeted me warmly. I had won the prize as well as their 80 .From the sports meeting, I learnt that sometimes things are not so difficult as they seem to be.

When Thomas one day discovered that other children had someone they called Mum and asked why he must call her grandma instead of Mum. She told him gently about his mother‘s death before he was three months old. There was not the same reaction(反应) when he asked why he had 75 to call Dad. Then his grandmother glared at (瞪着)Him and got angrier than he had 76 seen and the sharp reply was,‖ He was a bad man. He didn‘t want your mother, and he didn‘t want you when you were born. Thomas never asked about his father any more.Shortly after his fifth birthday and two days before Christmas Day, Thomas was woken up by his grandma‘s calling to him from her bedroom. Running into the old lady‘s room, he found her77 for breathlessness, and between gasps (喘气)，trying to tell him to fetch the next-door neighbour. As soon as the neighbour arrived, she sent Thomas to call another neighbour. Next Thomas was told he must stay downstairs, so he sat in the kitchen, trying to give all his _____78 to his toys. He was there to see the doctors arrive, and to see him leave a few minutes later. This eased(减轻) Thomas worry. A doctor would stay a long time with someone who was seriously ill. The fact that the doctor left so 79 after his arrival meant that. Grandma was going to be all right again. He expected to be told he could go upstairs and see her. But the first neighbour came down and explained that Grandma was 80 and the doctor had said that she couldn‘t be disturbed (打扰). Shortlyafterwards the second neighbour came down, helped Thomas put his toys in a box, and then took him to have lunch with her and her two children.75 A)none B)someone C)no one D) anyone76 A) never B) not C)hardly D) ever77 A) keeping B) fighting C) appearing D) starting78 A) note B)attention C) interest D) attraction79 A) quickly B) fast C) hurriedly D) soon80 A) lying in the bed B) laying in bed C) sleeping D) gone3.虹口区At one time there was an oyster(牡蛎).He thought that he was the most important animal in the world because he____75____himself. Certainly, the silkworm(蚕)was important too, but silk could not be sold at the same price as pearls, so the oyster thought that he had good____76____to think well of himself.One day, there was a great storm at sea. The waves were very big, and the thunder(雷声)was loud.The oyster____77____his weak shell (壳)and stayed on the sea floor.

I can tell you now that it is a 75 . The rain in Spain seems to fall mostly on me. I am spending a year in Galicia and, although it is certainly a beautiful part of the world, I think it rains more than in England.There are no plains here. It is a coastal area, and clouds and storms directly get pushed in from over the ocean with force. As I write, there is a heavy rain outside. I have three umbrellas. Two big ones and a little one which I keep on me 76 , just in case. Believe me what I tell you is all true.The problem is that very often, umbrellas offer no help at all. The wind is so strong that even the best umbrella in the world becomes useless. 77 , I often arrive at work with a dry head and shoulders (protected by my umbrella), but with wet feet and legs. The rain falls hard and fast, and there is no escaping it.When people from England think of Spain, they imagine beaches and sunshine. Those things are a world away from my experiences here in Galicia. But I‘m not 78 . It is because of all this rain that the countryside here is so green and beautiful. In the town a very nice white wine is made. And there are beautiful beaches here in Galicia, although there probably is 79 on them at the moment.And most important of all is the people. They are very friendly here. Most people I have spoken to are helpful.So I think that‘s worth having a bit of 80 for. Anyway, I love my life here in Galicia.75.

Suddenly, you look up to see your big brother coming towards you. He‘s giggling(痴笑)from ear to ear. His arms are stretched out, fingers shaking slightly. You try to get away, but there‘s no way to75 . Before you know it, he‘s tickling(抓痒逗笑)you, and you can‘t stop laughing.Most of us don‘t like to be tickled. We try everything to move our way out of a tickle. Yet no matter how much we dislike being tickled, we always end up laughing.Why do people laugh when they are tickled? That‘s76 scientist Christine Harris of San Diego, California, wanted to find out. First, Harris and her friends needed to practice. They spent some time tickling each other. Then they gathered a group of students who were ready to be tickled in the name of science.Next, Harris‘s77 observed how hard the students laughed at different TV shows. They wanted to know about that type of laughter which is different from laughter caused by tickling. Then the team tickled the student volunteers under the arms and on the toes(脚趾). As part of the research, Harris‘s team even used a tickle machine with parts that 78 shaking fingers!What were the results of this tickling research? Harris‘s team found that people do not laugh because tickling is funny. People simply cannot stop themselves from laughing when they are tickled. The scientists decided that ticklish laughter may be a special kind of action. This action happens 79 a person‘s control or effort.So, have all questions about tickling been answered? Has Harris tickled her last toe? It‘s unlikely. It seems that humans are not the only living things that giggle when they are tickled. Young chimpanzees also 80 to tickle one another during their play. They, too, seem to chuckle(吃吃地笑)when they are tickled.75. A) hold B)watch C)escape D)wait76. A) how B)what C)who D)why77.

Can you guess from the context what word might fit in the blank?We had our picnic in the shade（阴凉处）of a huge _80___.Did you guess the missing word from the context?

This was because they were now living in an English-speaking country.Now the Vieira children are adultsand they sometimes travel to Spain to 75 their family and friends.
