His wings had been cut short and he was stuck on the _16_ just like us humans. When the weather turned nice, I took Chico outside. I sat him on a branch of a tree, hoping to make him _17_. At first he seemed _18_. He walked back and forth on the branch looking anxious or nervous. He didnt even flap his wings in an attempt to fly. Somehow he knew he was _19_.One day Chico got especially excited. He paced back and forth and made an incredible amount of _20_. Then all of a sudden he stopped and let out an even louder scream. He started _21_ flapping his wings for the first time ever - then he lifted off the _22_ like a space shuttle! I was amazed and _23_. Little did I know his feathers had been growing back, and Chico had been _24_ until the moment was ripe for escape! Two days later Chico _25_. First I tried to trick him back with food, but he would not e near me. Then I took his _26_ and put it away still he would not e. Finally, I made him a firm promise that I would let him _27_ every day the weather was nice if he did e back. _28_, he flew onto my shoulder.From that day on, whenever the weather was good I would let him out early and he would fly around and be back before dark. The _29_ lasted for two months before suddenly Chico became _30_. The vet said that he had been infected with a disease from the pigeons in the neighborhood. Within a few days he died.I was very sad. The _31_ crossed my mind that if I had not set him free to fly, he would be still alive. But what _32_ is there in being a bird if you cant fly?Chico made his first break for _33_ on a late Monday afternoon in April. When will you make yours? You too can take a _34_ when the conditions are right, knowing you too, in your own way, were built to fly. If you dont _35_, what will be the purpose of your life?16.

She was about 20, and in a town known as Ayrlie Beach in Northern Queensland. I asked her what it was that she needed most in that moment, and she replied that she needed support, and my arms around her would be the best thing that she could hope for! Because I couldnt do that in that exact moment, I asked her to describe her surroundings to me (I have absolutely no idea why, at the time), and said that if she hadnt heard from me in about 30 minutes, she could ring me back. I asked her to stay exactly where she was.After hanging up the phone, I just sat for a few seconds. After only a very short time a phone number jumped into my head. I rang the number and it was a woman who had bought a house from me about 18 months previously, when I was working in Real Estate. My exact words to her were these, Oh, its you Liz, I have no idea why Im calling you in particular, but my daughter is in trouble in Ayrlie Beach, and I just got the thought to ring you and tell you that. Have you any idea why?It could be because my son lives there, says Liz.Oh really, thats got to be it, I said. Do you mind giving me his phone number, Liz?Of course not, and I can only hope that he can be of some help!I rang straight away (only about 5 minutes have passed since telling my daughter that somehow Id get her help). Fortunately, he answered immediately, and I told him the story of who I was, and why Id rung.I gave him the description of my daughter; where she was standing; and that she needed emotional support if he could find it in his heart to help out so unexpectedly like this. Oh yes, I can see her, he said.shes right across the street from where Im standing! He walked across the street and told my daughter that her Dad had sent him!Imagine that.she almost fainted: only about 10 minutes had passed since she had rung me! I believe that she said something like this, Wow, Dads getting pretty good at this stuff!.Thats intuition（直觉）at its best!36. How did the author react to his daughters telephone call?A. He said he would connect her in 30 minutes.B. He promised to see her in 30 minutes.C. He asked her to call him again after calming down.D. He felt at a loss as to how to fort her.37. After hanging up the phone, the author _.A. rushed straight to the airportB. called a former guest he was unfamiliar withC. looked up a friends phone numberD. called a former colleague for help38. What help did Liz give the author?A. She went to Ayrlie Beach to look for his daughterB. She called the authors daughterC. She gave the author her sons phone numberD. She asked her son to help the authors daughter39. The authors daughter probably felt _ when the man told her that her dad had sent him.A. disappointedB. doubtfulC. excited D. surprised40. What does the story intend to tell us?A. How to keep calm in an emergencyB. A fathers love is greatC. Something intuition works like magicD. Helping others is great virtueBThe trip to the United Stated opened my eyes to the fact that there are a lot of similarities as well as differences between American youth and French youth. The first difference is in appearance. Going around in the U.S., I found that American youth do not really care about their appearance. In the morning, they choose something in their closet and wear it with another thing, often of different colors and styles, without wondering whether their choices make them look strange. The reason behind this is that they dont care what people look like, but are just interested in their ideas. I think its great, but it also causes problems. Since they dont care about their appearance, they dont really care about their weight. Often they get fat without realizing it.There are differences in relationships too. When the American youth fall in love, they dont really think of the future. Also, there are differences in the rules concerning behavior that is allowed. In some respects, the French are more accepting. For example, in America it is generally unacceptable to make physical display of love. Lovers, in theory, cant kiss or hold each other everywhere they want. People think that not showing love in public places is a way to respect others. On the contrary, the French youth can do almost everything they want.With regard to other types of relationships, there are also big differences. Americans act differently from French people in front of unknown people. When an American girl, for example, arrives in front of people she has never met before, she will talk with them, trying to create a kind of bond between her and this new circle of people. The French girls will just think about rather than really do this kind of thing because they are too shy and lacking in self-confidence.To finish, I noticed that in American classes, when pupils want to say or ask something, they just do it. In general, they dont really care how the others will judge them. In France, its not the same case. If somebody wants to ask something, he/she will think about it before speaking up. I appreciate the freedom in Americans behavior, ideas, and ways of expressing themselves.41. American young people _.A. are just interested in peoples clothes B. care more about their weightC. show more interest in peoples ideasD. are more concerned about appearance42. When American youth fall in love with each other, they _.A. will not hold each otherB. will always think about their futureC. will kiss wherever they like D. will rarely display their love in public43. When meeting with strangers, American girls will not _.A. behave in a way similar to French girlsB. try to establish a type of relationship with themC. have faith in themselvesD. start to create a conversation44. It can be inferred from the passage that French youth may think more about _.A. their public reputationB. their relationships futureC. their physical displaysD. their lovers ideas45. The passage is mainly about the_ between American youth and French youth.A. similaritiesB. friendshipC. differences and the similarities D. differencesCIts good to make mistake, and here is why.First of all, mistakes are a clear sign that you are trying new things. Its always good to try new things because when you are trying new things you are growing. If you never try anything new, how can you improve? How can you expand? How can you innovate? The simple answer is You cant. Look around you. With very few exceptions, either everything you see in your physical world or every single detail of every single thing is the result of someone trying something new.Another good thing about mistakes is this: when you are making mistakes, you are learning. Consider this: Edison failed 10000 times before he perfected the light bulb. when asked how it felt to fail that many times, he remarked that he hadnt failed 10000 times, but rather had learned 10000 things that didnt work.Finally, when you make a mistake you are much closer to success. Why?Because when all is said and done, you will have tried some finite number of things before you succeeded, Every time you made a mistake you eliminated one of those things and are one step closer.But this all doesnt mean that you should move ahead, ignoring the consequences of a mistake. Quite the contrary, when you try something new you have to be willing to set some reasonable limits so that in the event that it doesnt work out the way you want it to, you will be in a position to try again.We all have limited resources in the form of time and money so dont blow them all on one approach to a problem. Realize that it probably wont be perfect the first time and allocate these resources appropriately so you can learn, modify, and try it again. Only by embracing and using your mistakes in this way can you make significant advances in your business and your career.There is an old principle that goes, If youre not making mistakes, youre not trying hard enough.So go forth and make mistakes. And learn. And grow. And prosper.46. From the second paragraph, we can conclude that _.A. mistakes are unnecessary for developmentB. mistakes are better than not tryingC. we are afraid of trying new thingsD. its mon for people to make mistakes47. The underlined word “eliminate” means _.A. remove B. avoidC. acceptD. solve48. According to the article, one thing you should pay attention to about making mistakes is _.A. avoiding making the same mistakesB. accepting the punishment willinglyC. trying things out one by oneD. taking consequences into account49. The article is mainly about _.A. what benefits mistakes bringB. how to deal with mistakesC. how to achieve successD. how to make use of your mistakes50. What would the writer probably suggest we say to ourselves when we make a mistake?A. Never mind, I can always try again.B. Great! Now I can learn something.C. Id better stay out of troubleD. Look at this mess. Anyone would be upsetDDrownings, bicycle injuries, falls, and pedestrian accidents are the most mon causes of childhood injury or death. Heres what you need to know to avoid tragedy: Drowning: Each year, thousands of children die from drowning, with two-thirds of accidents occurring in the summer. To protect kids, parents should install multiple layers of protective devices, with each layer offering another opportunity to avoid a tragedy. Fences, door alarms, pool covers are all somewhat effective individually, but their effectiveness is increased dramatically when used in bination with one another. Falls: Falls from heights kill 140 children under the age of 15 each year in the United States, and seriously injure three million more, making falls the leading cause of non-deadly injury for this age group. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP), falls are especially a problem for children living in multi-story housing during the summer months, when windows are open and children are more likely to be playing on fire escapes, roofs and balconies. To keep kids safe, AAP remends window guards be installed on second story and higher windows. When choosing guards, install those that are operable in the event of emergencies like a house fire. Using childproof gates can prevent falls down stairways. Nevertheless, no gate can replace parental supervision (监督) Bikes: Bike accidents kill over 1,500 children aged 14 and under each year. Of these deaths, more than half occurred during the summer. According to the AAP, head injuries from cycling are the most mon cause of disability. A recent study in Seattle, Washington showed that helmets reduced the risk of head injury by 85 percent and brain injury by 88 percent. When purchasing a bike helmet, parents are urged to make sure it meets the bicycle helmet safety standards of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI) Pedestrian: Over 6,000 kids aged 14 and under die every year as a result of an unintentional pedestrian-related injury. As a general rule, kids under 10 should not be crossing the street alone. Young children lack the ability to judge the speed and the distance of oning traffic. Parents need be models and teach proper pedestrian behavior. Cross at the corner and when you do cross, continue to look both ways because there are likely to be more cars turning into your path or people speeding. Obey all the traffic signals.51. What is the point of the article?A. To introduce factors that cause risks for children.B. To give tips on what to do to prevent accidents about children.C. To explain why summer is a risky time for kids.D. To describe what to do to prevent accidents at home.52. To protect kids against falls, families living in multi-story housing should _ according to the AAP.A. install window guards on second story and higher windowsB. never leave windows open when children are left alone at homeC. tell kids not to play on balconies, roofs and fire escapesD. teach kids to use childproof gates in the event of emergencies53. When riding a bicycle, you should _ according to the AAP.A. avoid riding at nightB. not take anyone in the back seatC. wear a proper helmetD. not ride on the streets under the age of 1454. What can be concluded from the article?A. Bicycles cause the most non-delay injuries for children in the US each yearB. Pedestrian accidents happen much more frequently than drownings in the US each yearC. A bination of fences, door alarms and pool covers can greatly reduce the risks of drowning.D. Children should never be allowed to cross the street on their own.55. The passage is most probably taken from the column of _ in a newspaper.A. social scienceB. technology C. entertainment D. public safety第卷第三部分： 写作第一节：阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）阅读短文，并按照题目要求用英语回答问题。Do you blank out or feel so nervous in exams that you have trouble writing answers to questions that you knew just last night? If so, you likely have a case of test anxiety.But, dont be afraid. By recognizing the problem, you are taking the first step towards overing it.Believe it or not, a touch of nervousness can sharpen your mind, allowing you to perform more quickly. This is because under stress, the body releases the hormone adrenaline (肾上腺素), which prepares it for something important that will happen. However, too
