They love you just because youre you. And they would do anything for you.Like a lot of middle school students, Zhang Li has a problem. She and her parents dont get on well. I really want to be my daddys good girl. But it seems he just doesnt understand. He talks to me but doesnt listen to me, said Zhang Li, a student from Grade Three.Do you and your parents also have problems?Well, why dont you take a walk and have a walk on Saturday? May 15 is International Day of families(国际家庭日). On that day, people around the world give thanks for good things about families and work on family problems.A study last year showed that 1500 Beijing families had the same problem as Zhangs family. The children, 12 to 15 years old, didnt like talking with their parents much. They werent happy at home. Of course, lots of other children feel that way. But you and your parents will be much happier if you can be friends.Here are some ways to have a good talk with your parents: fine a good time to talk, like when youre eating dinner, going out for a walk or watching TV.

I had never been far from New England, and I had been homesick my first few weeks at college. What about the language? The more I thought about it, the more the idea worried me.Finally, I turned down the invitation. Then I realized I had turned down something I wanted to do because I was scared and felt depressed(沮丧). That experience taught me a valuable lesson and I developed a rule for myself: do what makes you anxious(焦虑); dont do what makes you depressed.In my senior year, I wanted to be a writer. But my professor wanted me to teach. I hesitated. The idea of writing was much scarier than spending a summer in Argentina. Back and forth I went, making my decision, unmaking it. Suddenly I realized that every time I gave up the idea of writing, that downhearted feeling went through me.Giving up writing really depressed me. Then I learned another lesson. To avoid the depression meant having to bear much worry and concern.When I first began writing articles, I often interviewed big names. Before each interview I would get butterflies in the stomach. One of them was the great composer Duke Ellington. On the stage and on television, he seemed very confident. Then I learned Ellington still got stage fright（害怕）. If Ellington still had anxiety attacks, how could I avoid them? I went on doing those frightening interviews. Little by little, I was even looking forward to the interviews. Where were those butterflies?In truth, they were still there, but fewer of them. I had learned from a process psychologists（心理学家） call “extinction”. If you put an individual in an anxious situation often, finally there isnt anything to be worried about, which brings me to a conclusion: youll never get rid of anxiety by avoiding the things that caused it.The point is that the new, the different, is definitely scary. But each time you try something, you learn, and as the learning piles up, the world opens to you.（1）We can infer from the passage that the author_.A . finds it difficult to make decisionB . has found out what causes anxietyC . was encouraged by Duke Ellingtons stage frightD . no longer feels anxious about new experiences（2）What does the word “extinction” in Paragraph 6 means?A . a persons loss of confidence little by littleB . the natural development of a childs abilitiesC . the inborn ability to avoid anxious situationsD . the process of losing fear by keeping facing anxiety（3）Which of the following opinions does the writer probably accept?A . Anxiety can be a positive driveB . Hesitation leads to depression.C . Avoiding anxiety reduces depression.D . Depression is a signal that one is growing up.（4）Whats the best title for the passage?A . Confidence: Key to SuccessB . Anxiety: Challenge by Another NameC . Depression: A Psychological AppearanceD . Success: A Trip Through Anxiety and Depression三、 任务型阅读 (共1题；共16分)14. （16分）任务型阅读CWhen we say a person blows his own trumpet，we mean he tells other people how good and successful he isThat is usually an act of arrogance(自大)But teachers at Wimbledon High School once asked their students to blow their own trumpetSome students are under too much pressure(压力)and they find it difficult to accept that they have been successful，said Ms Hanbury,head of this famous allgirls school in LondonThey push themselves hard and might never be happyThats why theBlow Your Own Trumpet Weekwas held in the schoolIn theBlow Your Own Trumpet Week,the teachers asked their stories of success and failure(失败).They also asked them to tell how well they did in each subjectIn this way,he school wanted to help students to know they were all good at something and that they didnt have to be good at everythingBefore thatthe school ran aFailure Weekto help students deal with setbacks (应对挫折)The students learned how to get better from setbacks quickly,so they wouldnt think it was the end of the world if they didnt do well in an exam根据材料内容完成下列任务。（1）TheBlow Your Own Trumpet Weekwas held to help students who A . had trouble getting out of their setbacksB . didnt spend enough time on their studiesC . found it difficult to accept their successD . didnt like to talk with their teachers（2）Ms Hanbury asked her students not to talk about their success（3）The students couldnt talk about their subjects in theBlow Your Own Trumpet Week（4）Where is Wimbledon High School?（5）Which was held earlier,Blow Your Own Trumpet WeekorFailure Week?四、 根据句意和音标提示以适当形式填写正确的单词。 (共7题；共50分)15. （1分）Its _(not interesting) for me to stay at home all day long. 16. （1分）Doing some sports can make me_ (放松的) after work. 17. （1分）My kz()nz _visit me every Sunday. 18. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）see friends_（2）wait for_（3）回家_（4）给家里打电话。_（5）躺在阳光下 _19. （5分） 将下列内容英汉互译 （1）be on a school trip_（2）go back_（3）take photos_（4）on sale_（5）a few_20. （32分）写出下列形容词的比较级和最高级。 （1）good/ well _ _（2）ill _ _（3）many/ much _ _（4）little _ _（5）bad _ _（6）far _ _（7）few _ _（8）close _ _（9）beautiful _ _（10）early _ _（11）hard _ _（12）expensive _ _（13）hot _ _（14）thin _ _（15）healthy _ _（16）safe _ _21. （5分）将下列内容英汉互译 （1）at the moment_（2）a kind of_（3）clean the house_（4）learn a dragon dance_（5）sweep the floor_五、 短文填空 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入一个适当的词，或填入括号中所给单词的正确形式。Pablo and I were walking home from playing football.
