The father asked his son, “What is this?” The son replied, “It is a crow.” After a few minutes, the father asked his son the second time, “What is this?” The son said, “Father, I have just now told you ‘It’s a crow.’” After a little while, the old father again asked his son the third time, “What is this?” At this time some expression of irritation (恼怒) was felt in the son’s tone when he said to his father unwillingly. “It’s a crow, a crow.” After a little while, the father again asked his son the fourth time, “What is this?” This time, the son shouted at his father, “Why do you keep asking me the same question again and again, although I have told you so many times ‘IT IS A CROW.’ Are you not able to understand this?” A little later the father went to his room and came back with an old tattered (发皱的) diary, which he had maintained since his son was born. On opening a page, he asked his son to read that page. When the son read it, the following words were written in the diary: “Today my little son aged three was sitting with me on the sofa, when a crow was sitting on the window. My son asked me 23 times what it was, and I replied to him all 23 times that it was a crow. I hugged him lovingly each time he asked me the same question. I did not at all feel irritated, but I rather felt affection for my innocent son.” 注意: 1. 所续写短文的词数应为150左右; 2. 应使用5个以上短文中标有下划线的关键词语; 3. 续写部分分为两段,每段的开头语已为你写好; 4. 续写完成后,请用下划线标出你所使用的关键词语; Paragraph 1: After reading the diary, __________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ Paragraph 2: Feeling ashamed, the son got down on his knees before his father. _________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

I don’t think I need to tell you that reading is good for you — great for you. 1. Sometimes, people do want to read — they’ve got a book at home sitting on the shelf that they fancy — but can never seem to find the time. Well, my friends, this post is for you. ● 2. Obviously, to get yourself motivated to read, read something that interests you. Society, animals, philosophy, science, art — whatever you want. If you’re drawn to the book, you’ll be more willing to pick it up and read it. ● Have a goal. Some people set radical (激进的) goals for themselves like reading one book a week. Obviously, you don’t have to be as radical as that. 3. It’s all up to you. But setting a goal and trying to reach it gives you a focus that’ll help you get the job done. ● 4. If you’re determined, use every possible moment. On the bus. On the subway. On your lunch break. When you’re at the gym. You won’t regret it, I promise! ● Just start. Sometimes the thing preventing us from reading is our own mind. Our mind will make up all kinds of excuses not to do something. Not get out of bed. Not clean the house. Not shower. And in this case, not read. The trick to bypassing (避开) this mental block is to just pick up the book and read! 5. Once you start reading, it’s quite difficult to stop! A.Reading is a pleasure. B.Have a reading partner. C.Read whenever you can. D.Unfortunately, most people don’t read. E.Don’t pour too much thought into the action. Just do it. F.When you set a goal, letting yourself down isn’t really a big deal. G.You can start by reading a book a month, or a book every two months even.
All adults at some time or another commit (犯罪) a crime, sometimes by accident, but why do some people intentionally commit crimes? Here are three theories that try to explain the causes of criminal behaviour. GENETIC (遗传的) CAUSES The idea that some people commit crimes because of biological causes has a long tradition. This theory suggests that criminals are born, not made. In the 19th century some people even thought brain sizes and skull shapes could explain criminal behaviour. Although experts today no longer believe this, they do argue that human behaviour can be linked to an individual’s genes. Studies of adopted children who show criminal behaviour suggest that their behaviour is more similar to their biological parents behaviour-than their adoptive parents’, showing a genetic link. ENVIRONMENT This theory states that a person’s surroundings influence their behaviour. Just as children learn good behaviour from their parents and brothers or sisters, children can learn bad behaviour from their families and other close relationships. Researchers in this area argue that early anti-social (反社会的) behaviour in childhood often leads to a future of criminal behaviour. It is a dangerous circle, as one expert states: “Problem children are likely to grow up into problem adults, and problem adults are likely to produce more problem children.” CHOICE The central idea of this theory is that crime is a career decision, an alternative (可选择的) way of making a living. The theory argues that most criminals are sensible people, who know what they want and the different ways of getting it, i.e. work or crime. They are able to balance the risks of committing a crime, such as going to prison, against its benefits, i.e. what they gain if they aren’t caught. The conclusion is: if there are more benefits than risks, do it, but if there are more risks than benefits, don’t do it. 1.What does the second theory conclude? A.A family determines a child’s future. B.Relatives play a key role in a person’s crime. C.Uneducated children tend to become criminals. D.The environment greatly influences people’s behaviour. 2.According to the text, criminals ________. A.consider what they can lose and gain in a crime B.don’t think before they decide on a life of crime C.tend to believe they can avoid the risks of a crime D.often achieve their goals through crime instead of work 3.What can be a suitable title for the text? A.Types of crimes B.Crimes and punishments C.Why do people commit crimes? D.What influences will crimes have?
It is rightly said one can share any secret with a true friend. He may know your deepest fears and weaknesses and yet will never take advantage of you. However, keeping a friend’s secrets to yourself and not telling the world is what makes the bond grow strong and last forever. You need to develop trust and mutual (互相的) understanding before you start sharing secrets with each other. With friends, secret talks never seem to end and it can get really amusing to know what has been going on in your friend’s mind. There is a certain time in life especially from the teenage years when one starts having a personal periphery (界限) in life and parents are excluded (排斥) from it. It is because there are certain things that they can’t understand and we can’t discuss with them. That is when friends become the best secret sharers. They are the ones to whom one reveals one’s feelings and best kept secrets. It is a general belief that only girls share secrets. But boys have their own secrets that they discuss with only closest friends. The secret talks can range (变化) from relationships, talks about fights with parents, secret activities and anything that is not supposed to be known to others! If you think secrets are limited to only teenagers, get your facts right! Secrets can be shared at any age and there is no hard and fast rule that secrets are shared only among youngsters. Sharing secrets with a friend is not just fun, but it also helps to develop a lasting trust in one another. Sometimes, sharing secrets will tell you more about the person. You will come to know whether your friend is reliable and trustworthy and whether it is worth sharing your secrets with them. You can call it a test of friendship. 1.What is an advantage of sharing secrets with a friend? A.It helps a lot in your study. B.It leads you to a carefree life. C.It makes you popular with other people. D.It contributes to a long-term mutual belief. 2.What does Paragraph 2 mainly try to show? A.Parents are always the best people to share secrets with. B.Teenagers prefer to share secrets with their friends. C.Parents should build trust with teenagers. D.Teenagers grow to be independent. 3.The underlined word “reveals” in paragraph 2 can be best replaced by ______. A.proves B.tells C.gets D.holds 4.What can be learned about sharing secrets? A.It’s limited to girls. B.It follows strict rules. C.It can happen at any age. D.It does harm to a strong bond.
A few years ago, Adina Lichtman was handing out sandwiches on the streets of New York City to help people experiencing homelessness. One man, grateful for the sandwich, approached her and offered a surprising idea. “It’s great that you’re giving out sandwiches,” he said, “but one thing we really need is socks, especially as winter approaches.” “Here I was, sandwiches in hand, thinking I knew the best way to help people,” Lichtman said. “It was a powerful lesson, and I wanted to put it into action.” She began that night, with a simple step: going door-to-door on the floor of her dormitory at New York University, asking her classmates if they could each just donate (捐赠) just one pair of their own socks to someone experiencing homelessness. She got 40 pairs of socks in a single night, from a single floor. The next morning she opened her door to find a lot of socks that other people had donated. That morning officially kicked off Knock Knock, Give a Sock (KKGS), a new nonprofit (非营利的) organization that has now provided over 350,000 pairs of socks to the homeless across America. To date, over 50 colleges and high schools across the US have joined KKGS over the years. “While many people donate clothing, 9 out of every 10 clothing donors have never donated socks. On top of that, people who are trying to donate socks often find it difficult to donate used socks,” she says. “KKGS is one of the only organizations that collects used socks. We have volunteers knocking on doors of their classmates in school, of their workmates at work, and even of their neighbors.” But, whether you’re 26 or 62, you don’t need to wait to organize your own sock drive, collect socks, or even wash and clean some of your own to donate to your local shelter, or someone in need who you meet on the street. 1.How did the homeless man’s words affect Lichtman? A.They caused her to start KKGS. B.They pushed her to go to college. C.They encouraged her to house the homeless. D.They made her continue to give out sandwiches. 2.How did Lichtman’s classmates react to her request for donation? A.Some refused it politely. B.They strongly supported it. C.Some felt quite surprised by it. D.They considered it unreasonable. 3.What advice does the author offer to people? A.Take action in small ways. B.Start your own organization. C.Make donations from an early age. D.Find creative ways to help people.

Brownie and Spotty were neighbor dogs who met every day to play together. These two loved each other and played together so often that they had worn a path through the grass of the field between their respective houses. One evening, Brownie’s family noticed that Brownie hadn’t returned home. They went looking for him with no success and by the next week he was still missing. Curiously, Spotty showed up at Brownie’s house alone. Barking, whining (哀叫) and generally pestering (纠缠) Brownie’s human family. Busy with their own lives, they just ignored the nervous little neighbor dog. Continuously,Ted, Brownie’s owner, was disturbed by the angry, determined little dog. Spotty followed Ted about, barking insistently, then rushing toward a nearby empty lot and back, as if to say, “Follow me! It’s urgent!” Eventually, Ted followed Spotty to a deserted spot half a mile from the house. There Ted found his beloved Brownie alive, one of his hind legs crushed in a steel leghold trap. Horrified, Ted now wished he’d taken Spotty’s earlier appeals seriously. Then Ted noticed something quite remarkable. Spotty had done more than simply led Brownie’s human owner to his trapped friend. In a circle around the injured dog, Ted found an array of dog food and table scraps which were later identified as the remains of every meal Spotty had been fed that week! Spotty had been visiting Brownie regularly, in the hope of keeping his friend alive by sacrificing his own comfort. Spotty had evidently stayed with Brownie to protect him from hunger and other dangers, and keep his spirits up. Brownie’s leg was treated by a veterinarian (兽医) and he recovered. For many years thereafter, the two families watched the faithful friends chasing each other down that well worn path between their houses. 1.Why did Ted pay little attention to Spotty at the very beginning? A.Because Ted was tired of listening to Spotty barking. B.Because Ted only cared about Brownie’s safety. C.Because Ted was not free at that moment. D.Because Ted knew where Brownie was. 2.When Ted was led by Spotty to Brownie, he . A.was curious to find out what had happened B.highly appreciated Spotty’s help C.was worried about Brownie’s health D.regretted not following Spotty earlier 3.Not only did Spotty help Ted find Brownie but also . A.he went to see his friend and played with him secretly B.he sent messages to some other persons in his community to save his friend C.he managed to lead a veterinarian to treat his friend D.he sent food to his friend, accompanied him and inspired him to cheer up 4.What can we learn from the story? A.Barking dogs seldom bite. B.A friend in need is a friend indeed. C.Love me, love my dog. D.Every dog has its day.
第三部分 阅读理解(共20小题; 阅读下列短文,从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C和D)中,选出最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 Andy rode slowly on his way to school, day-dreaming about the fishing trip that his father had promised him. He was so busy dreaming about all the fish he would catch that he was unaware of everything else around him. He rode along until a strange around drew him to the present. He came to a stop and looked curiously up to the heavens. What he saw shocked him. A huge swarm of bees filled the sky like clack cloud and the buzzing mass towards him. With no time to waste. Andy sped off in the opposite direction, riding furiously without knowing how to escape the swarm. With a rapidly beating heart and his legs pumping furiously, he sped down the rough road. As the bees came closer, his panic increased. Andy knew that he was sensitive to bee stings(蜇). The last sting had landed him in hospital—and that was only one bee sting! He had been forced to stay in bed for two whole days. Suddenly, his father’s words came to him. “When you are in a tight situation, don’t panic. Use your brain and think your ways out of it. ” On a nearby hill, he could see smoke waving slowly skywards from the chimney of the Nelson family home. “Bees don’t like smoke,” he thought. “They couldn’t get into the house.”Andy raced towards the Nelson house, but the bees were gaining ground. Andy knew he could not reach the house in time. He estimated that the bees would catch up with him soon. Suddenly, out of the corner of his eyes, he spotted a small dam used by Mr. Nelson to irrigate his vegetable garden. Off his bike and into the cool water he dived, disappearing below the surface and away from the savage insects. After holding his breath for as long as he could, Andy came up for air and noticed the bees have gone. Dragging himself out of the dam, he struggled up the hilly slope and rang the doorbell. Mr Nelson took his inside and rang his mother. “You’ll really need that fishing break to help you recover,”laughed his mother with relief. “Thank goodness you didn’t panic! But Andy did not hear her. He was dreaming once again of the fish he would catch tomorrow. ” 1.Why did Andy fail to notice the swarm of bees earlier? A.He was riding to school. B.He was listening to a strange sound. C.He was going fishing with his father. D.He was lost in the thought of the fishing trip. 2.Which of the following is NOT mentioned about the swarm of bees in the passage? A.They crowded like a black cloud. B.They shocked and terrified Andy. C.They tried to attack Andy in a mass. D.They made Andy stay in hospital for two days. 3.How did Andy avoid the bees in the end? A.He asked Mr. Nelson in help. B.He hid himself under the water. C.He rushed into the Nelson house. D.He rode off in the oppossnte ditcction. 4.Which of the following can best describe Andy’s escape from the bees? A.No pain no gains. B.Once bitten,twice shy C.Where there is a will, there is a way.

When your pet has an emergency, first aid is not a substitute for veterinary (兽医的) treatment. However, before you are able to get your pet to a veterinarian(兽医), knowing some basic first aid can help. Bite Wounds Approach the pet carefully to avoid getting bitten. Wear a mask for the animal and then check the wound. Clean the wound with large amounts of saline solution(盐溶液). If it is not available, then regular water may be used.

Talking to yourself may seem a little shameful. According to the well-known saying, talking to yourself is the first sign of madness, 1. Talking to ourselves, whether out loud or silently in our heads, is a valuable tool for thought. Far from being mentally ill, self-talk allows us to plan what we are going to do, manage our activities, regulate our emotions and even create a description of our experience.2. As children, according to the Russian psychologist Lev Vygotsky, we use private speech to regulate our actions in the same way that we use public speech to control the behavior of others.3. Psychological experiments have shown that the private speech can improve our performance on tasks ranging from judging what other people are thinking to sorting images into categories. One recent study suggested that self-talk is most effective when we address ourselves in the second person, as “you” rather than “I”. 4. If you want proof, turn on the sports channel. You’re certain to see an athlete or two cheering themselves up with a bitter phrase or scolding themselves after a bad shot. Conduct a dialogue with ourselves.5. The private speech seems to be a particularly good way of solving problems and working through ideas. The to-and-fro between different points of view means our thoughts can end up in expected places, just like a regular dialogue can, and might turn out to be one of the keys lo human creativity. A.What is private speech? B.Bui there is no need for embarrassment. C.Psychologists refer to this as private speech. D.Ask questions of the self and provide answers. E.We do a lot of private speech when we are young. F.As we grow older, we make the private speech become the way of blinking, G.Although the private speech is effective, we never entirely put away the out-loud speech.
For several decades, there has been an organized campaign intended to produce distrust in science, funded by those whose interests are threatened by the findings of modern science. In response, scientists have tended to stress the success of science. After all, scientists have been right about most things, from the structure of the universe to the relativity of time and space. Stressing successes isn’t wrong, but for many people it’s not persuasive. An alternative answer to the question “Why trust science?” is that scientists use the so-called scientific method. But what is called the scientific method isn’t what scientists actually do. Science is dynamic: new methods get invented; old ones get abandoned; and at any particular point, scientists can be found doing many different things. False theories sometimes lead to true results, so even if an experiment works, it doesn’t prove that the theory it was designed to test is true. If there is no specific scientific method, then what is the basis for trust in science? The answer is the methods by which those claims are evaluated. A scientific claim is never accepted as true until it has gone through a long process of examination by fellow scientists. Scientists draft the initial version of a paper and then send it to colleagues for suggestions. Until this point, scientific feedback is typically fairly friendly. But the next step is different: the revised paper is submitted to a scientific journal, where things get a whole lot tougher. Editors deliberately send scientific papers to people who are not friends or colleagues of the authors, and the job of the reviewer is to find errors or other faults. We call this process “peer review” because the reviewers are scientific peers—experts in the same field—but they act in the role of a superior who has both the right and the responsibility to find fault. It is only after the reviewers and the editor are satisfied that any problems have been fixed that the paper will be printed in the journal and enters the body of “science.” Some people argue that we should not trust science because scientists are “always changing their minds.” While examples of truly settled science being overturned are far fewer than is sometimes claimed, they do exist. But the beauty of this scientific process is that science produces both creativity and stability. New observations, ideas, explanations and attempts to combine competing claims introduce creativity; transformative questioning leads to collective decisions and the stability of scientific knowledge. Scientists do change their minds in the face of new evidence, but this is a strength of science, not a weakness. 1.Scientists stress the success of science in order to ________. A.promote basic knowledge of science B.remind people of scientific achievements C.remove possible doubts about science D.show their attitude towards the campaign 2.What can we learn about the so-called scientific method? A.It’s an easy job to prove its existence. B.It usually agrees with scientists’ ideas. C.It hardly gets mixed with false theories. D.It constantly changes and progresses. 3.What can we learn about “peer” review? A.It seldom gives negative evaluation of a paper. B.It is usually conducted by unfriendly experts. C.It aims to perfect the paper to be published. D.It happens at the beginning of the evaluation process. 4.The underlined sentence in the last paragraph implies that ________. A.it is not uncommon for science to be overturned B.scientists are very strong in changing their minds C.people lose faith in those changeable scientists D.changes bring creativity and stability to science
