One of the most important things in the world is friendship. In order to have friends, you have to be a friend. But how can you be a good friend at school?
Listen— Listen when they are talking. Don’t say anything unless they ask you a question. Sometimes it’s not necessary for you to have anything to say; they just need someone to talk to about their feelings.
Help them— If your friend is ever in need of something, be there to help them. You should try to put them first, but make sure you don’t do everything they want you to do. Try to take an extra pencil or pen with you to classes in case (以防) they forget one. Have a little extra money in your pocket in case they forget something they need.
Be there for them — Try to make something for your friend to help make them feel better in hard times. Making cards and encouraging them are among the nicest things you can do for a friend. Marilyn Monroe, a famous U.S. actor, once said, “I often make mistakes. Sometimes I am out of control. But if you can’t stay with me at my worst, you are sure not to deserve (值得) to be with me at my best.” Always remember this! If you don’t want to stay with your friends when they’re in hard times, then you don’t deserve to be with them when they’re having a good time!
______ —Try to organize some activities with your friends ahead of time. Go shopping, go for ice cream, have a party, go to a movie and so on. Take time to know each other even better by doing something you both enjoy. By planning things together, you both can have a good time. And you’ll remember these things when you’re all old!

An earthquake is one of the most common natural disasters. It may cause great damage. So it is wise to learn some simple safety tips to protect yourself or your family members.
Fragile items, like those made of glass should usually be placed on a lower surface, near the ground instead of placing them on cupboards higher up. Never place them near your bed, sofas and other furniture where you would be sitting or lying down. When there is a strong movement, these pieces will fall on the floor directly and not on you.
There is a strong chance of short circuit (短路) and fire breakouts during an earthquake. Make sure you turn off electrical connections and gas immediately when an earthquake happens.
During an earthquake, lie beneath an object that is not easily damaged. Do not go near objects that could directly fall on you. Never use the elevator to go down. Stay inside until the shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries happen when people inside buildings try to go out. Use the staircases at all times.
If you are outdoors, do not take shelter under a tree, streetlights, electric poles or tall buildings. If you are driving, stop your car and stay in a safe place. Do not park your car under a tree or any tall object.
If trapped in debris (瓦礫堆), cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can find you. Use a whistle (哨子) if you have one. Never shout for help. Shouting can cause you to breathe in dangerous amounts of dust. Do not light a match because you may burn yourself. Do not move about or kick up dust.
32. The purpose of the passage is to tell readers _____.
A. the damage caused by earthquakes
B. the rescue work after earthquakes
C. what to do about earthquakes
D. how to prevent earthquakes
33. The underlined word “Fragile” in Paragraph 2 probably means _____.
A. easily broken B. easily found
C. Expensive D. heavy
34. During the earthquake, people are advised to _____.
A. go out the building at once B. turn off power and gas immediately
C. take shelter under a tree D. drive to a safe place
35. What should people NOT do when they are trapped in debris?
A. Cover their mouth with a handkerchief.
B. Tap on a pipe or wall for help.
C. Use a whistle for help.
D. Light a fire for help.
第二節 (共5小題;每小題2分，滿分10分)
根據短文內容，從短文後的選項中選出能填入空白處的最佳選項。選項中有兩項爲多餘選項。
Have you ever changed your mind, or even given up a dream because you were afraid of what someone else might think of you? If you’re often worried about what friends, family, or even strangers in the street might think, then you’re using up a huge amount of energy worrying. 36 But the steps below should help.
Step 1: Ask yourself what matters to you.
Maybe you can’t stand the gym, but your best friend works out every day. It’s natural for people around you to have different values from you. 37
Step 2: 38
The truth is that I’m not the centre of the world, and neither are you! Most of the people around you are far too busy going about their own lives to think much about you.
Step 3: Recognize that their opinion can’t hurt you.
There are a few cases where opinions will make a difference. 39 But the people who really matter are going to love you for who you are.
Step 4: Accept that you can’t control what people think.
You can’t control people’s thoughts. You’ve got no idea what might go through their head, or why. 40.
A. Do whatever you want to do.
B. This is a habit hard to get rid of.
C. You should make everyone around you happy.
D. So just be clear and honest with yourself.
E. Remember that they’re not all watching you.
F. You can’t please everyone all of the time, and there’s no need to try to.
G. For example, your boss’s opinion is usually important to you.

Dear Li Ming,
I have got your letter. I am very glad that you believe in me. I have known that you have some difficulty in learning English because you can’t adapt to what your English teacher teaches. My suggestions are as follows.
Above all, you’d better listen to the teacher carefully in class and practise your listening and speaking as often as possible. Moreover, it’s a good idea for you to ask your English teacher to explain what you can’t understand after class. In addition, it is advised that you be confident and believe in yourself. I think you can make it. Last but not least, you can communicate with your classmates and turn to them for help.
I hope these suggestions will be helpful. Looking forward to your reply.
Best wishes!
Yours,
Li Hua

American researchers found females are the more talkative sex because of a special “language protein” in the brain.
The study, conducted by neuroscientists and psychologist from the University of Maryland, concluded that women talked more because they had more of the Foxp2 protein. The research, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, found that higher levels were found among humans that were women but in rats that were males. Their findings came after it was previously claimed that ladies speak about 20,000 words a day — over 13,000 more than men. “This study is one of the first to report a sex difference in the expression of a language-associated protein in humans or animals,” said Prof Margaret McCarthy, who led the study. In their study, the researchers attempted to determine what might make male rats more vocal than their female friends.
They separated four-day-old rats from their mothers and then counted the number of times they cried out in the “ultrasonic (超聲波的) range”, the frequencies higher than humans can hear, over five minutes. While both sexes called out hundreds of cries, the males called out twice as often, they found. But when the pups were returned to their mother’s cage, she cared for her sons first. Tests conducted on the parts of the brain known to be associated with vocal calls showed the male pups have up to twice as much Foxp2 protein as the females. The researchers then increased the production in the brains of female pups and reduced it in males. This led to the female rats crying out more often and their mothers showing more interest in them. In contrast, males became less “talkative”.
The researchers then tested samples from ten children, aged between three and five, which showed that females had up to 30 per cent more of the Foxp2 protein than males, in a brain area key to language in humans.
“Based on our observations, we assume higher levels of Foxp2 in girls and higher levels of Foxp2 in male rats is an indication that Foxp2 protein levels are associated with the more communicative sex,” said Prof McCarthy.
“Our results imply Foxp2 as a component of the neurobiological basis of sex differences in vocal communication in mammals.”
59. From the second paragraph, we can learn that ________.
A. women always speak more words than men
B. McCarthy isn’t the first to find females more talkative
C. women and male rats have similar levels of Foxp2
D. men and male rats have low levels of language protein
60. The researchers carried out the experiments on rats in order to ________.
A. test which part of the brain is key to language in rats and humans
B. prove the levels of Foxp2 protein in humans and rats are different
C. determine the reason why female rats are more talkative than male rats
D. discover the link between Foxp2 protein and vocal communication
61. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage?
A. Tests on humans and rats B. Why women are the talkative sex
C. Sex differences in Foxp2 protein D. Foxp2 protein determines oral ability
C
Mountain regions are not just playgrounds for the richer citizens on the planet, however. The disappearing snows of Mount Kilimanjaro are a worrying sign that nowhere is safe from the adverse effects of human actions. The United Nations has identified three main areas that need to be addressed to ensure the future safety of the world’s mountains. These are: the protection of mountain ecosystems, the encouragement of peace and stability in mountain regions, and assistance for mountain people to maintain their ways of life.
From the busy cities of India to the farmlands of California, more than half the world’s population is dependent on mountains for their fresh water supply. Global warming, deforestation, mining and heavy farming seriously damage breakable mountain ecosystems and put vital fresh water sources at risk.
Mountain regions host a large proportion of the world’s wars. From Afghanistan to the Balkans and the Andes to many parts of Africa, territorial and drug-related conflicts have damaging effects on the local environment and the lives of the local people. Fighting makes essential tasks such as farming impossible. Land mines make large areas of potential farming ground unusable. Also schools, roads, bridges and other important infrastructure(基礎設施)are left in ruins.
Mountain people are among the poorest, least represented groups on the earth. They face many hardships and each day can be, “a test of survival”. Damage to mountain ecosystems worsens their situation and leaves them even more unprotected to disease and ‘natural’ disasters such as floods and landslides. It’s been recommended that forest profit should be reinvested in mountain communities and the people living there should be given a stronger political voice. Their fate is in many ways directly connected with that of people living at sea level.
There is an old motto for visitors to the countryside which advises them to leave nothing but footprints. It is still as relevant today as it always was. Unfortunately, the size of our footprints seems to be getting larger.
62. What the writer discussed in the previous sections is most probably about _______.
A. mountain ecosystems B. mountain regions
C. mountain people D. mountain sports
63. The underlined word “adverse”(para.1) is closest in meaning to “______”.
A. harmful B. positive C. direct D. powerful
64. Wars have directly brought the following effects EXCEPT __________.
A. mountain people’s poor living condition B. impossible farming
C. inadequate supply of fresh water D. ruined infrastructure
65. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage?
A. Mountain people have enough political voice to protect themselves.
B. Worsened ecosystems put mountain people’s lives under threat.
C. More money should be raised to establish mountain communities.
D. Visitors to mountains have left nothing but large footprints.
D
Tang Xianzu and William Shakespeare were contemporaries (同代人) , who coincidentally died in the same year.
Japanese scholar Aoki Masarut was the first to draw a link between the two in his 1943 book A History of Chinese Literary Thought. Yet, dying in the same year, 1616, is not reason enough to put them together.
Scholars who specialize either in Tang or Shakespeare are looking for similarities between the two as the anniversaries of their deaths are marked in the United Kingdom, China and around the globe.
“Tang Xianzu was not China’s Shakespeare,” said Chen Guohua, a professor at Beijing Foreign Studies University, striking a rare discordant(不和諧的) note. “He was just China’s Tang Xianzu. Nobody in the English-speaking world can hold a candle to Shakespeare, and Tang was just one of the greats of Chinese drama. Guan Hanqing and Wang Shifu were equally skillful.”
Both Tang’s and Shakespeare’s plays were meant for the stage, but they served different audiences. Shakespeare was a professional dramatist while Tang was a civil servant who happened to pen a few plays and thousands of poems. Tang’s lines were sung mostly at family theaters at a time when noblemen and retired officials were patrons (贊助人) of the arts who owned and ran their own entertainment troupes. Shakespeare, the English Bard (吟遊詩人) had to sell tickets to whoever would buy them.
That probably affected their writing styles. While Tang’s language is extremely difficult and the rhymes (韻律) come on like hurricanes, it is a wonder that Shakespeare’s vast vocabulary could be understood by those in the Globe Theatre back then. And given that the Bard’s subject matter runs such a wide range, most people, whatever their tastes, could take away something.
Though no one can touch the Bard in range and richness, there is one area where Tang shines, and that is in the use of dreams, not only as a plot device but also a philosophical tool. His quartet of plays (四夢) all built on dreams, often indicating that life is empty and all the demand for power eventually amounts to nothing.
In The Peony Pavilion (牡丹亭), his most famous play, Tang raised the dream to a higher level that Sigmund Freud would have recognized. It is the subconscious world of the major characters, especially Du Liniang, the noble young lady who whiles away her youth in a gilded cage. It is not a traditional love story because she had not seen or known the young man.
Of all Shakespeare’s works, the dream features in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. The forest near Athens is similar to the family garden in The Peony Pavilion, a neighboring quarter that sets free the desires of the young.
For the ending, Pavilion brings sadness that is absent from Shakespeare’s Dream. But lyricism and earthy humor are present in both plays. And both tales can be sung or danced because they lend themselves to other forms of performing arts. Pavilion, intended as an opera, has also been changed into plays but has been less successful.
They both represent peaks in culture, but we should stop from measuring which peak is higher and focus on what’s unique about each of them instead. And the comparison of Tang and Shakespeare can serve as a point of departure for meaningful conversations about art, literature and cultural inspirations, rather than being an end in itself.
66. What can we learn from the first three paragraphs?
A. Tang and Shakespeare died for the same reason.
B. Tang and Shakespeare were born in the same year.
C. The four hundredth anniversary of their deaths is in 2016.
D. Scholars first put Tang and Shakespeare together in 1616.
67. Tang and Shakespeare served different audiences because ______.
A. their plays were meant for the stage
B. they were in different countries
C. the prices of the tickets were different
D. they had different cultural backgrounds and status
68. According to the passage, which of the following is Tang’s writing style?
A. His plays are full of philosophy.
B. His language is easy to understand.
C. His plays have a wide range of themes.
D. The vocabulary in his plays is vast.
69. What can we learn about The Peony Pavilion and A Midsummer Night’s Dream?
A. They were both intended as operas.
B. They got the same success as plays.
C. Sadness was present in A Midsummer Night’s Dream.
D. The forest and the family garden played the same role.
70. By writing the passage, the writer mainly ______.
A. compares Tang’s life with Shakespeare’s
B. introduces the works of Tang and Shakespeare
C. draws readers’ attention to the features of Tang and Shakespeare
D. calls on people to read the works of Tang and Shakespeare

Have you ever wished you didn’t have to wake up early and go all the way to school? For 700,000 American kids, this wish comes true. 71 This kind of learning has different names: online learning or distance learning. Regardless of what it is called, this idea may create an impression of a lonely kid reading pages of information on a computer screen rather than from a book or an image of another kid spending the day playing video games instead of learning mathematics or reading a book. Where online education is concerned, both of these are false! Actually, online learning simply means learning differently.
72 Flexibility is the main advantage. Students can attend school wherever and whenever they desire. Homework can be turned in from anywhere the student has Internet access. Additionally, many online schools will allow students to work at their own pace.
Another advantage of online schooling is with the variety of courses. Most online schools teach the same basic classes like English, math, science, and history. 73 However, traditional schools are often unable to offer these types of classes if there are not enough students.
Online schools also have different types of learning tools for kids to use. For example, many online schools have special Web sites where only students registered in online classes can watch videos, see lessons presented, or chat with teachers and other students. Some online schools have live class times where students can call and talk with the teacher directly. 74
Computer technology is amazing, and we use computers for chatting with our friends, listening to music, and playing games. 75 Since 2012, at least 38 states either have had their own online schools or made rules for students attending them. It looks like online schools are here to stay, but only you can decide if this type of learning is right for you.
A. Online schools offer many benefits for the learners.
B. Of course, there are some disadvantages of going to school online.
C. Almost every part of our lives is affected by it, and school is no exception.
D. They attend school over the Internet using ordinary home or library computers.
E. Other online schools even have online clubs where kids can talk about their hobbies.
F. Some online schools also offer specialized classes in subjects such as space science, French, or zoology.
G. For some students, online school may be ideal, but for others, traditional school may better meet their needs.

On the way to school
These days, breaking traffic rules and littering are not uncommon, causing serious harm to life and the environment. Changing this situation requires considerable effort on the part of everyone. As for me, it should start on my way to school.
I will keep traffic rules in mind all the way. If I ride a bike, I’ll always keep to the right and never cross a road until the traffic light turns green. If I walk, I’ll never forget to use the pedestrian crossing. Meanwhile, I’ll regard it as my duty to help keep our environment clean and healthy. Not only will I keep from littering and spitting anywhere, I will also help clean up the roadside litter whenever possible. I hope my behavior will make a difference.

M: You promised to go to the Olympic Games with me this afternoon. Are you ready to go now?
W: Oh, yes, I did say that. But, as you can see, I have some unexpected visitors now, so I am afraid I can’t go anymore.
Text 2
W: How was school today? Your teacher called me this afternoon.
M: The same as always, Mom. Oh, there was one thing. I got in a big fight.
Text 3
M: I’m afraid you can’t get into the cinema because you do not have a ticket.
W: Oh, I must have lost it, but I can find a person who can prove that I did have a ticket. Is that all right?
Text 4
W: What was your favorite subject in high school, Henry?
M: I used to love math, but now I can’t stand it. I’m much more into English now.
W: That’s so funny! I am just the opposite.
Text 5
M: Did you make a reservation on the 7:00 flight?
W: I thought you wanted to take the 6:00 flight. It’s too late to change it now.

W: Have you ever made dumplings before?
M: There was a party my first year in China where someone came and tried to teach us how to make dumplings. I didn’t do very well.
W: I’ll let you in on a secret. No one makes really good dumplings his or her first time![來源:]
M: Well, I’m not sure that I’ll do better the second time.
W: Of course you will. Practice makes perfect! Come on, I’ll teach you.
M: Hmm, I suppose it couldn’t hurt. Who knows? Maybe they’ll be edible this time!
W: Mine always taste good! But you can’t eat any of mine if you don’t at least try to make some yourself.
M: All right. So, what kind shall we make? How about pork with green onions?

W: Have you been to the National Museum since it reopened?
M: No, have you?
W: Yes, I went yesterday with some friends who were visiting from out of town. It was wonderful! We were only able to see a few of the exhibits because we spent so much time looking at the jade exhibit. It was amazing. The jade was simply amazing. The collection includes pieces from around the time of Peking Man through the Qing Dynasty. Although the artistry of the later pieces is superb, I think I enjoyed the early ones best. The stones were so beautiful, the carved patterns were simple yet elegant, and they were all done with such primitive tools — truly astonishing!
M: That sounds like it’s worth a visit. My wife would probably enjoy it, too. How much is the entrance fee?
W: That’s the best part. Like most museums in Beijing, admission is free!

M: Did you watch the NBA game last night?
W: No, I didn’t see it. In fact, I almost never watch NBA games.
M: What? You’ve got to be kidding! Basketball is the best thing on TV.
W: All it is a bunch of men in shorts running around with a ball. What’s so great about that?
M: What’s so great about it? Why, it’s the greatest sport ever, that’s what! To play basketball professionally requires a lot of athletic ability, physical determination, and speed. It’s a very fast game, and it’s very exciting to watch.
W: Well, I think it’s silly. All the players do is bounce the ball, throw the ball, run around trying to take the ball from each other... I just don’t understand it. I’d much rather watch a movie, a talk show, or even a game show than a basketball game!
M: Well, I can see that we are never going to agree on this. Let’s change the subject. So, what do you want to do this weekend?
Text 9
M: Madam, do you know how fast you were going just now?
W: Uh, well, no, I didn’t think I was going that fast...
M: This is a 25 mph zone, Madam. You see that school over there? You were going 35 mph.
W: But today is Sunday, sir. There is no school today.
M: That doesn’t matter, Madam. There are signs that say what the speed limit is. Besides, children often come to school on the weekends to play sports. You see all those kids over there? What if you hit one of them by accident?
W: I’m sorry, officer, I won’t do it again. Could you please let me off with a warning?
M: I’m afraid I can’t do that, Madam. In school zones, I’m required to give tickets to all drivers who break the rules. It’s the law in this county.
W: Oh, dear! What is this going to cost me?
M: I don’t know, Madam. Usually, these things can be taken care of for less than $100. Now please sign here at the bottom.
W: OK... is that all?
M: One more thing, if you go to traffic school, your insurance won’t go up. Have you been to traffic school before, Madam?
W: No, I haven’t.
M: There are many cheap options online. It’s definitely better than paying more for insurance.
W: OK, thank you.
M: My pleasure.

And now for today’s health news. A new study conducted at the University of Pennsylvania suggests that eating chocolate every day might actually be good for you. Researchers gave people different amounts of chocolate, from none at all to several servings, every day for six weeks and measured their blood pressure, body fat, and emotional condition. What they found may surprise you. It turns out that eating a small amount of chocolate every day is better than eating none at all! People who ate a small amount of chocolate regularly had lower blood pressure and reported feeling happier than people who didn’t eat any chocolate. Eating a lot of chocolate every day resulted in increased weight gain and higher blood pressure, but it actually had a positive impact on mood. The scientists were quick to point out that the chocolate under investigation was dark chocolate, which has less fat, less sugar, and fewer calories than milk chocolate. They also said that adding chocolate to one’s diet should be combined with a balanced diet and plenty of exercise. Although the researchers said that there is still a lot of work to be done in this field, the initial findings are no doubt great news for all you chocolate lovers out there!

閱讀下列短文，從每題所給的四個選項(A、B、C和D)中，選出最佳選項。
A
Sharon, Aged 22
The most important thing to keep in mind when going into high school is to be yourself. Besides, I don't know what your middle school was like, but high school teachers will not care about things such as how much homework you already have in one night. It's best to just learn to deal with things and manage your time wisely so you can achieve everything you need to.
Frank, Aged 21
I think almost every kid feels both nervous and excited before their first day. You will probably love it. I know I did. You should join some sports or activities that will make your high school experience more enjoyable. Good luck!
Eddie, Aged 20
When I started high school I was really nervous too, especially since I had been homeschooled all through middle school and didn't really know anyone. I suppose the best advice would be to just relax. The first couple of days can be a little bit hard, but things will become easier before you know it.
David, Aged 19
I'm not going to lie. The first day is kind of frightening. But you'll get used to it. Don't be afraid of anyone; upperclassmen will pick on you more if you let them know you're afraid. Just take it easy. Making some friends and staying with them will greatly help you get used to high school quickly. After the first week it's really not bad at all. Don't worry.
21. What can we infer from Sharon about high school?
A. Teachers are quite strict.
B. Students often stay up at night.
C. Teachers provide little care for students.
D. Students should make good use of their time.
22. How did Eddie feel on his first day of high school?
A. Excited. B. Bored. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.
23. Who mentions the importance of friends?
A. Frank. B. David. C. Sharon. D. Eddie.

The trouble started at 9:30 p.m. last New Year's Eve, in Newmark. When the fire engines (消防車) arrived at the fire, a very old woman was sitting in a third floor window. The firefighters placed a ladder (梯子) against the wooden house, and 26-year-old Marcus Reddick climbed 35 feet to the third floor.
The woman, 60 years old and very fat, was sitting with both feet out of the window. When Marcus reached the top of the ladder, the woman, afraid and nervous, put her two legs around him. Suddenly Marcus fell backwards off the ladder, with the large woman sitting on him. Marcus landed first — hitting a wall beside the front stairs — and broke the woman's fall. She fell no more, but he fell another ten feet down the stairs. When the fire officer reached him, Marcus was unconscious.
Within an hour, a doctor told the men that Marcus was nearly brain dead, and would only get worse. Doctors talked of turning off the life-saving machine and asked if the family would like to give away his heart. The answer was “yes”.
On January 6, firefighters lifted Marcus' coffin (棺材) — covered with an American flag — onto a yellow fire engine. Hundreds of firefighters from all over the state joined the procession (行列) through Newmark streets. Children watched silently from school windows. The day Marcus died, his heart was given away to a young girl. His family said that it was the second life Marcus had saved.
24. What happened last New Year's Eve in Newmark?
A. An old woman was killed. B. A fire engine was missing.
C. A firefighter was murdered. D. A wooden house caught fire.
25. After reaching the top of the ladder, Marcus _____.
A. was very afraid and nervous B. couldn't see anything clearly
C. found it difficult to get down D. was knocked off and got hurt
26. The underlined word “unconscious” in Paragraph 2 means “_____”.
A. homeless B. senseless C. breathless D. helpless
27. We can infer from the end of the text that Marcus' family might feel _____.
A. sad but proud B. shy but excited
C. angry and doubtful D. worried and surprised
C
There is a song in England that starts: “Oh, I do like to be beside the seaside.” There is something very special about being near the ocean. I have never lived on the coast(海岸) before. But now I live in a small town next to the sea. I can see the water from my window.
The sound of the waves can be very peaceful. Life seems to happen at a slower pace here. Before I moved here I had been living in London.
The sun setting over the ocean is a beautiful thing to watch. And I enjoy looking down to see the fish swimming around and jumping up.
Where I live there is no beach. Instead, there is a harbor(港口). In many ways, I prefer this. It means that you can look straight down into the water to see what is there. I like seeing the fishing boats. It also means that there are not so many tourists who come to lie on the beach and sunbathe.
I have a few problems though.
1) Everywhere smells of fish. The town where I live is full of people cooking and eating fish and other seafood at lunch and dinner. That’s okay (although I am a bit sick of eating it myself). The problem is, when I hang my clothes out to dry, they come back with a strange smell!
2) Seagulls(海鷗). I really don’t like them. They are extremely loud and annoying, and not very pretty birds.
3) The wind. It is very windy here. At the moment it is all right, because the days are still quite warm. During the summer the wind is nice and refreshing. But I can imagine that in the winter that strong wind will be very cold.
But in the end, I think the advantages outweigh disadvantages. So I can sing, “I do like to be beside the seaside,” and I won’t be lying at all.
28. The passage is made up of nine paragraphs and which can show the structure of it?
A. ①—②—③④—⑤—⑥⑦⑧⑨ B. ①—②③④—⑤—⑥⑦⑧—⑨
C. ①—②③④⑤⑥⑦⑧—⑨ D. ①②③—④⑤⑥—⑦⑧⑨
29. Which of the following belong to the same group?
a. the fish smell b. the harbor c. wave sound
d. seagulls e. sunset f. the wind
A. adf B. abc C. cef D. abd
30. The life by the seaside makes the author understand that “________”.
A. Actions speak louder than words. B. Every coin has two sides.
C. No way is impossible to courage. D. From saving comes having.
31. The underlined word “outweigh” in the last paragraph means “________”.
A. are similar to B. have no more influence than
C. are greater than D. play a role as important as
D
The British are known for their sense of humor. However, it is often difficult for foreigners to understand their jokes. The main point to remember is that the British often use understatement.
Understatement means saying less than you think or feel. For example, if someone gets very wet in a shower of rain, he might say, “Its a little damp (潮溼的) outside.” Or, if someone is very impolite and shouts at another person, someone else might say, “She isn’t exactly friendly.” Understatement is often used in unpleasant situation or to make another person look silly. Understatement plays an important part in British humor.
Another key to understanding British humor is that the British like to make fun of themselves as well as others. They often laugh about the silly and unpleasant things that happen to our everyday life when someone accidently falls over in the street. They also like to make jokes about people from different classes of society. They like to make jokes about their accents, the way they dress and the way they behave. What’s more, the British love to watch comedies (喜劇) about people who do not know how to behave in society. The comedies series Mr. Bean is a good example of this kind of humor.
Mr. Bean is the character created by British actor Rowan Atkinson in 1990. Mr. Bean doesn’t talk often, and instead he uses his body movement and facial expressions to make people laugh. Perhaps what makes Mr. Bean so funny is that he does things that adults in the real world cannot do. Mr. Bean is popular in many countries around the world because you do not have to speak English to understand the humor. Because of this, many people have become familiar with the British sense of humor.
32. Why is it difficult for foreigners to understand British jokes?
A. The British often enlarge the fact.
B. British jokes are connected with many different cultures.
C. British jokes are not as funny as jokes in other countries.
D. The British try to make out that something is less important than it is.
33. The author explains understatement by _______.
A. describing a process B. making comparisons
C. following time order D. using examples
34. Mr. Bean makes laugh by ______.
A. using his body movement and facial expressions
B. making jokes about others’ accent
C. copying how others behave
D. telling funny stories
35. What can be the best title for the text?
A. British Humor in Comedy
B. Humor in Different Cultures
C. Understanding British Humor
D. Developing Your Sense of Humor

How about the schoolwork in high school—is it harder? This is something your classmates are probably worried about, too. The work in high school builds on what you learned in middle school. 36 But these challenges can make you stronger.
37 After-school activities can help you find your interests. Who says school has to be all work and no play? These activities may take place before or after school and during your free time. Because of this, it helps to improve your time management(時間管理) skills in your first year.
You may meet with some hard times. But if you ever find that personal problems are really hard to solve, find someone to talk to. 38 School teachers can be very helpful if you want to talk with someone outside of your friends and family.
Middle school taught you many things while providing you with a little support. 39 High school gives you the chance to take off those training wheels and learn how to be more independent(獨立的). 40 Even if you don’t get off to the best start, that’s normal, too. Just be patient and never give up trying. Once you’ve got used to your new skills, you may find you can go farther than you ever imagined.
A. It’s perfectly OK if you’re nervous at first.
B. If you’re having thoughts like these, you’re not alone.
C. It’s kind of like a bicycle with training wheels.
D. Activities are great, but remember to leave free time for yourself.
E. Friends and parents can help you, but sometimes that’s not enough.
F. So you may find your schoolwork in high school is a bit more challenging.
G. High school has many after-school activities, such as music groups and sports teams.

Then we went to enjoy all kinds of delicious food from Yong’an and other places.
It was wonderful and we really had a good time there! Welcome / Expecting your coming to experience it by yourself!
