So, keep loving, keep living and keep caring. Keep growing your heart today, tomorrow, and always25What do we know about the author from the first paragraph?AHe often helped his brother with housework BHe studied hard for his familyCHe was concerned about his family DHe put his own needs above others 26What did the author realize after he suffered in life?ASpoiled people cant survive the hardship of life BSpoiled people are never happy in lifeCLife is cruel to spoiled people DSelfishness is helpful27What can be inferred from the passage?AThe author loved kids BThe author often fed his baby CThe author realized the importance of happiness DWhen caring for his baby, the author got inspired28Which can be the best title of the passage?ALoving Others, a Way to Happiness BThe Elder One Grows, the More He GetsCHelp Others, Help Oneself DKeep Growing to Live a Happy LifeCSometimes people call each other “scared-cat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense, and there are changes in the chemicals in its blood stream. Although the cat doesnt realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things .It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or seared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster, and our muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told someone you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished later you had kept your mouth shut? It isnt always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that its smarter always to hide our feelings? No! If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illnesses can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isnt good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, dont just go away. Its as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before youd smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that youd see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they dont exist, but theyll still be around. And at last youll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.29. When people and animals are aroused by anger or fear, .A. they feel very regretful immediatelyB. they may get ready to attack or run away C. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxed30. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage?A. They are usually not as alert as animalsB. They sometimes cant control their feelingsC. They always do something wrong to other peopleD. They dont pay attention to their physical changes31. What can we infer from the passage?A. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them inB. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboardC. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results D. Its good for your health to keep pleasant feelings insideDIt is believed that some of animals think a great deal. Many of them are like children in their sports. Some birds are very lively in their sports; and the same is true with some insects. The ants, hardworking as they are, have their times for play. They run races; they wrestle; and sometimes they have mock fights together. Very busy must be their thoughts while engaged in these sports.Animals think much while building their houses. The bird searches for what it can use in building its nest, and in doing this it thinks. The beavers think as they build their dams and their houses. They think in getting their materials, and also in arranging them, and in plastering them together with mud. Some spiders build houses which could scarcely have been made except by some thinking creature.As animals think, they learn. Some learn more than others. The parrot learns to talk, though in some other respects it is quite stupid. The mocking bird learns to imitate a great many different sounds. The shepherd dog does not know as much about most things as some other dogs, and yet he understands very well how to take care of sheep.Though animals think and learn, they do not make any real improvement in their ways of doing things, as men do. Each kind of bird has its own way of building a nest, and it is always the same way. They have no new fashions, and learn none from each other.It is plain that, while animals learn about things by their senses as we do, they do not think nearly as much about what they learn, and this is the reason why they do not improve more rapidly. Even the wisest of them, as the elephant and the dog, do not think very much about what they see and hear. Nor is this all. There are some things that we understand, but about which animals know nothing. They have no knowledge of anything that happens outside of their own observation. Their minds are so much unlike ours that they do not know the difference between right and wrong.32. Why does the author mention that some birds and insects are very lively in their sports?A. To illustrate that some animals probably think in the sports.B. To tell us that some birds and insects are more lively than others.C. To show us that ants are the cleverest insects in the animal kingdom.D. To attract readers by introducing some interesting facts about animals.33. “Animals think much while building their houses” because _. A. they have to municate with each other in getting their materialB. they have to calculate something to arrange all the materialC. no animals have a must to build a “house” except some thinking creaturesD. it is unimaginable to build “houses” without thinking work involved34. The underlined word plain in Paragraph 5 can be replaced by _.A. flatB. clearC. vitalD. reasonable 35. The author will probably agree that _.A. animals cant think as a matter of factB. animals cant really learn to do somethingC. animals can think and learn but limitedlyD. each kind of animal has their own language第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。The goal of homework is to help students remember and understand what they learned in school that day.

But how did this bargain shopping get 61 (it) start?In fact, the first Black Friday had nothing 62 (do) with Thanksgiving or shopping. The origin of Black Friday as we know it today started in Philadelphia during the 1950s and 1960s. Crowds of people would e to town the day after Thanksgiving for the annual ArmyNavy football game to be held the _63_ (follow) Saturday. Streets and _64_ (store) were always crowded, which was great for business but made easypickings for shoplifters (行窃者). Local police called this “Black Friday”. Not only did they have to deal with extra traffic _65_ shoplifting, but they had to work extra hours and couldnt request the day off.The term didnt go national _66_ the late 1980s, but the _67_ (explain) changed. While shopkeepers _68_ (general) suffered financial losses most of the year, the increase of holiday shoppers marked the first day of real profit. In traditional accounting (会计) practices a few years ago, losses _69_ (record) in red ink, and profits in black ink. So the day after Thanksgiving, _70_ panies go “into the black” and make a profit, became Black Friday.第四部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节 短文改错 (共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分)文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（），并在其下面写出该加的词。删除：把多余的词用斜线（）画掉。修改：在错的词下划一横线， 并在该词下面写出修改后的词。注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词。 2. 只允许修改10处, 多者(从第11处起) 不计分。I do well in school, so people think I am smart.
