The young girl carefully released the butterfly. 24_ _flyingaway, the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy. The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief. For your wonderful kindness, the good fairy said to the girl, I will give you any wish you would like. The little girl thought for _25_ moment and then replied, I want to be happy.

Directions: plete the following passage by using the words in the box. Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need. A. dangerous B. risk C. pleasure D. important AB. surviveAC. strengthen AD. hunted BC. mainly BD. possessed CD. threat The days of the hunter are almost over inIndia. This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill, and partly because some steps have been taken, _29_ by banning tiger-shooting, to protect those animals which still _30_.Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter. I disagree with this view. Surely our earliest forefathers, who at first _31_ no weapons, spent their time digging for roots, and were no doubt themselves often _32_ by meat-eating animals.I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering _33_ animals. Of course, there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the _34_ thing, and that the chief _35_ lies in the joy of the hunter and the beauties of the wild countryside. There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and _36_ death by design; these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers, even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a _37_. I can respect reasons like these, but they are clearly different from the need to _38_ your high opinion of yourself.IV.

Directions: Read the following three passages. Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage you have just read.A If you are a human, you cant help but experience times when everything seems to be going wrongand you feel as if your life is pletely out of control. It is during those “low times” that words ofencouragement from family, friends, co-workers or even strangers can lighten your spirits.It is also duringthose times that destructive words can sink deeper and deeper into depression. For example, consider this story about a group of frogs who were traveling through the woods whentwo of them fell into a deep pit (深坑). All of the other frogs gathered around the pit. When they saw how deep the pit was, they told the two unfortunate frogs they would never get out. The two frogs ignored the ments and tried to jump out of the pit. The other frogs kept telling themto stop. Finally, one of the two frogs took heed of what the other frogs were saying and simply gave up. He fell down and died. The other frog continued to jump as hard as he could. Once again the crowd of frogs shouted at him to stop the pain. The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety. When he got out, the other frogs asked him why he continued to jump when they were all shouting athim to simply quit. The frog explained to them that he was a little bit deaf. He thought they wereencouraging him the entire time. Every time you have a chance to say either something positive or negative to another human being, dochoose the chance to say something positive! Dont let those opportunities get away from you. Your words have a large amount of power. Use them wisely. You really never know just how much they can mean tosomeone else.54.The first paragraph tells us that words play an important part especially when_.A. we stay with our family, friends and co-workers B. we hear strangers say something to usC. we get through hard times in life D. we make some big mistakes55. The underlined phrase “took heed of” has the similar meaning with_.A. acted according to B. had some doubt C. held on to D. got used to56.The more they shouted, the harder he jumped and finally he made it to safety.Thats because_.A. he struggled to prove that they were wrong B. he thought they were encouraging himC. he was angry with what they said D. he didnt want to let them down57. After reading the passage, readers should learn a lesson that_.A. we can use encouraging words to help others outB. having a positive attitude is important in lifeC. never give up until we win D. we must believe in ourselves rather than othersBSome people dont mind being fat. Other people can keep slimwithout any effort. But a lot of people do put on weight and dont like it. The question is, what can they do about it?Some believe exercise can be helpful. But the trouble is that it only makes you want to eat more. You might sweat out a couple of pounds playing tennis or climbing a mountain, but you put it all back on again with a big steak or bread and jam. A helpful way is food choosing. But what sort of food should you choose? Some believe that the less they eat, the slimmer they will be. They dont eat anything until they bee weak with hunger. Some stick to milk and bananas. Youll find you need a lot of bananas, and unless you live where they grow, they arent cheap. Another says that if you eat things like hard-boiled eggs, and apples with their skins on which are hard for your stomach to digest , the more you eat, the thinner you get. This is because you use up the fat in your body to get the energy to digest the food. For most of us these methods are too extreme. The simplest way is just to cut down on the carbohydrate, which means not eating bread, potatoes, cakes, sugar, rice, and so on and eating anything else you like. Its straight forward and often quite effective. Still others like to be more scientific. They get a table, which tells them that, for example, 100 grams of roast leg of lamb gives you 330 calories and a 50 gram helping of pudding gives you 130 calories.58. There seems nothing wrong with exercise except that _.Ait makes you sweat Bits hard work Cit tires you out Dit makes you eat more59. According to the passage, the best way to keep slim is _.Aexercising Bhunger Cfood-choosing Deating milk and bananas60. The practical method suggested here means _.Asticking to bananas Bnot eating many carbohydratesCeating as little as possible Deating things that are hard to digest61. Which of the following do you think is the best title for the passage?ADont Eat Too Much BVarious Ways of Losing Weight CWays to Keep Fit DFood and HealthVI. Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or plete the statements in the fewest possible words.Five years ago, David Smith wore an expensive suit to work every day. “I was a clothes addict,” he jokes. “I used to carry a fresh suit to work with me so I could change if my clothes got wrinkled.” Today David wears casual clothes-khaki pants and sports shirt-to the office. He hardly ever wears a necktie. “Im working harder than ever,” David says, “and I need to feel fortable.”More and more panies are allowing their office workers to wear casual clothes to work in the United States. The change from formal to casual office wear has been gradual. In the early 1990s, many panies allowed their employees to wear casual clothes on Friday (but only on Friday). This became known as “dress-down Friday” of “casual Friday”. “What started out as an extra one-day-a-week benefit for employees has really bee an everyday thing.” said business consultant Maisly Jones.Why have so many panies started allowing their employees to wear casual clothes? One reason is that its easier for a pany to attract new employees if it has a casual dress code. “A lot of young people dont want to dress up for work,” says the owner of a software pany, “so its hard to hire people if you have a conservative dress code.” Another reason is that people seem happier and more productive when they are wearing fortable clothes. In a study conducted by Levi Strauss and pany, 85 percent of employers said that they believe that casual dress improves employee morale. Only 4 percent of employers said that casual dress has a negative impact on productivity. Supporters of casual office wear also argue that a casual dress code helps them save money. “Suits are expensive, if you have to wear one every day,” one person said. “For the same amount of money, you can buy a lot more casual clothes.”62. Why did David Smith refer to himself as “a clothes addict,”?_63. David Smith wears casual clothes now, because _64. The majority of the employees said casual dress_65. According to this passage, what does it mean by a conservative dress code?VII.
