Some, however, are a little sillier than others so much that they seem like joke products. Here are a few products that sound crazy, but actually rule.Sleep PhonesIts hard to imagine something sillier than a music-playing headband you wear while you sleep, but they exist and are quite popular. Sleep Phones wont give you the highest quality sound in the world, but if you prefer to fall asleep to music, theyre far more comfortable than normal headphones. While theyre a bit expensive, they might be perfect for you. Theres also a wireless version (版本) if you prefer.Onion GogglesIf cutting onion brings on the waterworks no matter what you try, its time for desperate measures. We tested a couple of methods for avoiding onion tears, and found the best solutions came down to cutting the onion under a vent (通风孔), or wearing these stylish and wonderful goggles.Lock LacesTherere some great ways to tie your shoes better, but if you long for the laceless shoes of your childhood days, Lock Laces are a pretty good choice. Theyre basically elastic (有弹性的) laces that remove the need to tie your shoes. Sure, people will make fun of you, but you can make fun of them after they trip over their own untied laces. Or you can make your own slip-on shoes with elastic tubing.2D-GlassesHate 3D-movies, but have to go to one? The difference between 2D-glasses and 3D-glasses lies in their lenses (镜片). Each lens of 2D-glasses blocks the same picture, so each eye gets the same picture, while each lens of 3D-glasses blocks a different picture, so each eye gets a different picture which the brain interprets as 3D. Now you have a pair of glasses that can save you from the headache caused by wearing 3D-glasses which are popular in our movie theaters. You can buy them or make a pair for yourself.21What do we know about Sleep Phones?A. They give you the best quality sound. B. Theyre comfortable but unhealthy.C. There are two versions. D. Theyre cheaper than other headphones.22What is the advantage of Lock Laces?A. They are strong and lasting. B. They help you walk comfortably.C. They are stylish and eco-friendly. D. They save you from tying your shoes.23Compared with 3D-glasses, 2D-glasses _.A. are cheaper and thinner B. wont give you a headacheC. let you see a different picture D. are more popular in movie theaters24. This passage is written to A. introduce B. attract C. persuade D. describeBBANG! the door caused a reverberation (回声). It was just standing there, with father standing on one side, and me on the other side.We were both in great anger. Never set foot in this house again! stormed father. With tears welling up in my eyes, I rushed out of the flat and ran along the street.The street lights were shining, causing rather sad feelings. I wandered aimlessly. A young father who held a child in his arms walked past me. I felt as if I saw my childhood from another space: happy and carefree.But now I dont know whether it is because I have grown up or because dad is getting old. We differ in our ways of thinking. We are just like two people coming from two different worlds. It feels like there is an iron door between us that can never be opened.I wandered the streets, without a destination in mind. My heart was frozen on this hot summer night. As I walked on, there were fewer and fewer people on the streets, until I had only the street lights to keep me company. When I finally reached the high-rise apartment block in which I lived, I saw that the light was still on. I thought to myself: Is father waiting for me, or is he still angry with me？In fact, it was nothing. Perhaps, dad was throwing away some of his old stamps. Perhaps he thought they were useless. I never had the courage to tell him that I liked collecting stamps.All the lights were off except fathers.Dad was always like this. Maybe he didnt know how to express himself. After shouting at me, he never showed any mercy or any moments of regret. This was how he always was. He has been a leader for so long that telling everyone else what to do has become his second nature.The light was still on. Am I wrong I whispered, maybe With the key in my hand, I was as nervous as I had ever been. At last, I decided to open the door. As soon as I opened the door, tears ran down my cheeks. I suddenly realized that the iron door that I had imagined between us did not exist at all. Loveits second to none.25Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage ?A. The author fully understood why he and his father had different thinking.B. The author and his father lacked communication.C. The authors father was not in favor of his stamp collecting.D. The authors father opened the door for him when he came back.26According to the author, why did his father often shout at him ?A. Perhaps the father was getting older and older.B. Perhaps they never agreed with each other.C. Perhaps the son had already grown up.D. Perhaps the father had been used to doing that.27What was the authors attitude towards his father at the end of the story?A. He was frustrated with his father. B. He loved his father.C. He was afraid of his father. D. He was dissatisfied with his father.CA popular saying goes, “Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.” However, thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive and negative effects are just as lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it, though. In fact, we really shouldnt be because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves out loud is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate ourselves, remember things, solve problems, and calm ourselves down. Be aware, though, that as much as 77% of self-talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive, we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project, do well in a test, or finally clean your room, join me in saying “Good job!”Often, words come out of our mouths without thinking about the effect they will have. But we should know that our words cause certain responses in others. For example, when returning an item to a store, we might use warm, friendly language during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or harsh (刻薄的) and critical language will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret somethingwe once said. And we remember unkind words said to us! Before speaking, we should always ask ourselves: Is it true? Is it loving? Is it needed? If what we want to say doesnt pass this test, then its better left unsaid.Words possess power: both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can offer hope, build self-esteem (自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal? The choice is ours.28There is no need for us to feel embarrassed when we talk to ourselves because _.A. we can benefit from talking to ourselvesB. talking to ourselves always gives us courageC. almost everybody has the habit of talking to themselvesD. it does no harm to have “self-talk” when we are alone29The underlined part in the third paragraph means that we should also timely _.A. remind ourselves B. praise ourselvesC. make ourselves relaxed D. give ourselves amusement30The author would probably hold the view that _.A. encouraging words are sure to lead to kind offersB. negative words may motivate us to make more progressC. people tend to remember friendly wordsD. it is better to think twice before talking to others31In which column of the newspaper can you most likely read this passage?A. Health.B. Advertisement.C. Language.D. News.D Many animals recognize their food because they see itSo do humansWhen you see an apple or a piece of chocolate，you know that these are things you can eatYou can also use other senses when you choose your foodYou may like it because it smells good or because it tastes goodYou may dislike some types of food because they do not look，smell or taste very niceDifferent animals use different senses to find and choose their foodA few animals depend on only one of their senses，while most animals use more than one senseAlthough there are many different types of food，some animals spend their lives eating only one typeThe giant panda eats only one particular type of bambooOther animals eat only one type of food even when given the choiceA kind of white butterfly will stay on the leaves of a cabbage，even though there are plenty of other vegetables in the gardenHowever，most animals have a more varied diet(多样化饮食)The bear eats fruits and fishThe fox eats small animals，birds and fruitsThe diet of these animals will he different depending on the seasonHumans have a very varied dietWe often eat food because we like it and not because it is good for usIn countries such as France and Britainpeople eat foods with too much sugarThis makes them overweight，which is bad for their healthEating too much red meat and animal products，such as butter, can also be bad for the healthChoosing the right food，therefore，has become an area of study in modem life32We can infer from the text that humans and animals Aeat entirely different food Bare not satisfied with their foodCchoose food in similar ways Ddepend on one sense in choosing food33Which of the following eats only one type of food?AThe white butterfly BThe small bird CThe bear DThe fox34Certain animals change their choice of food when Athey are attracted by different smells Bthe food color changesCthey move to different places Dthe season changes35.

I have made efforts to persuade my uncle to be nice to people that hes hurt. 36 How I wish things would be better if hed just say hes sorry and ask them to forgive him. Answer: 37 Its just easier for him to pretend nothing happened than to face the embarrassment of admitting he was wrong. Youve probably done the same thing yourself at some time. In fact, most of us have. Furthermore, what if others wont forgive him even if he apologizes? 38 Pride blinds us to our mistakes or faults(缺点). Or at least it makes us pay less attention to their seriousness. Pride also makes us unwilling to admit to others that we were wrong. Perhaps were afraid they will look down on us if we admit it. 39 But others see through our pride. And things would be far better if we admitted our faults and asked for forgiveness. 40 Now you know why your uncle refuses to apologize, talk to him again. Help him to learn how to apologize and ask for forgiveness from others.A. One reason your uncle finds it hard to apologize could be embarrassment.B. But a deeper reason is pride.C. But he just refuses to do that.D. We may even hope that somehow they will overlook (忽视) it.E. As a result, you would upset others and hurt their feelings. F. There are a variety of reasons for your uncles refusal to apologize.G. Otherwise our pride would only hurt us and cause conflict (冲突) with others.第三部分 英语知识运用第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） A thief dropped a winning lottery ticket (彩票) at the scene of his crime, but he has been given a lesson in _41_ .The man whom he robbed (抢劫) _42_ the ticket and won the $25,000 prize, but he managed to find the thief, and handed over the _43_.
