Kuala Lumpur is a capital city in Malaysia. Here are the top 4 budget hotels:

Just a block from the railway station, located in Chinatown’s open market. It has clean beds, central air conditioning, hot water for coffee and tea, and a hall with a big screen TV. Wi-Fi is good except Floor 5. The guests’ complaint is that the air condition is too cold, so make sure you get a room with a window. You can open it to let some warmth in.

Ancasa Express (About $45 per night).

The hotel is above the sky-train station. That makes it convenient to get to other parts of the city. From the station, take the elevator to the 5th floor to reach the hotel lobby (大厅). The rooms are clean and nice. There is a flat screen TV, the strongest Wi-Fi, and a very hot rainfall shower. The guests’ complaint is that the cafe is only open for breakfast and dinner, and not 24 hours.

Central Hotel (About $35 per night)

This hotel is just two blocks from the Central Station, which is the heart of all transportation in the city. From Central you can walk 2 blocks to the beautiful Central Hotel, in which rooms are small but clean, and have common Wi-Fi.

Ocean 77 (About $25 per night)

On Petaling Street in Chinatown, this brand new hotel is most spotlessly clean. There is a flat screen TV and good Wi-Fi in each room. The location is good, in the heart of the Petaling Street market. No cafe in the hotel, but many on the street.

Many people feel that dream is unique to humans． However， many dog owners will likely disagree on that． They have noticed that their dogs at various times during the sleep may shake legs， snort （哼） and sometimes growl （低声吼叫） which gives the impression that they are dreaming． These things may wonder us about whether dogs dream．

Scientists confirm that dogs probably do dream． It turns out that dog brains and human brains have many similarities during sleep cycles． Researchers used special machines to measure electrical activity in a dog's brain and human's brain． Scientists already knew that when humans dream， a certain part of the brain is active during sleep． Researchers discovered that the same part of the brain is active in sleeping dogs． Scientists have other data that back up these findings．

Many people dream that they are trying to move but cannot． Interestingly， part of that experience is not a dream． When people sleep， the brain produces a chemical that causes the dreamer to become temporarily paralyzed （使麻痹）． Researchers think this happens so that people cannot physically act out dreams while they are sleeping． Dog brains make the same chemical． In one study during which this chemical was blocked， sleeping test dogs performed physical activities， such as standing up， sniffing around the room for imaginary rabbits， or chasing imaginary balls．

 Because of these similarities， researchers believe that the content of a dog's dream might come from the same source as a human's dream． "People's dreams are usually based on things they did that day，" says Dr． Samantha Hudspith． "So there is reason to believe that dogs dream about the things they've done that day． Of course， there will never be a way to prove this． Dogs cannot describe their dreams the way that humans can．"

24.What does the underlined phrase "back up" mean in the second paragraph？　   　

A． Disagree．B． Support．C． Record．D． Show．

25.What happened to a sleeping dog when this chemical mentioned in paragraph 3 was cut off？　   　

A． It woke up．           B． It stopped dreaming．

C． It acted out its dream．  D． It couldn't move its body．

26. How is the text mainly developed？　   　

A． By telling stories       B． By giving examples．

C． By comparing details    D． By listing differences．

27.What is the best title for the text？　   　

A． Do Dogs Dream？       B． Why Do Dogs Dream？

C． Signs of Dog Dreams     D． Similarities Between Humans and Dogs

C

“Sorry, but I don’t agree with you…” This is usually followed by unbearable silence and angry tears. I’ve always found it difficult to disagree with someone because I don’t want to lose a friend. I’ve found it even harder to accept it when someone disagrees with me, because my ego (自尊心) is hurt.

Before the other person gets a chance to explain why she disagrees with me, my usual response would be, “If you aren’t able to understand my point of view, then what you think isn’t worth my time or consideration, either.” But now I’ve come to realize that when a friend disagrees with me, sometimes she is simply saying, “I don’t agree with the way things are done.” She still respects me as a person, and is only pointing out a better way to look at a matter. However, there may be times when my friend disagrees with me because I’m against the truth. That’s when I need to listen to what she says.

I’ve learned that for me one way to help my friend is to be open and honest with the other to voice my thoughts and listen to the other carefully. While we can’t control how a person will respond to our views, we must learn to disagree with our friends in love. We will never feel that we are better than the other person. And that will help us to be less emotional, and more objective in the way we express our opinions. In the same way, we can also stay open to feedback (反馈) from others, knowing that our friends may be correcting us in love.

Good friendships build each other up, sometimes through disagreements and honest opinions. Though I don’t like being disagreed with, I’m starting to see the value of such disagreements.

 28. The author has found it difficult to disagree with someone because ______.

A. he is a friendly person         B. he usually hides his ideas

C. he has no mind of his own      D. he wants to keep the friendship

 29. When a friend disagreed with him, the author used to _______.

A. argue with the friend           B.be unhappy

C. break up with the friend        D. explain things calmly

 30. The author will listen to a friend when _______.

A. he is against the truth          B. he doesn’t tell the truth

C. he is respected by the friend     D. he does things in the wrong way

31. What does the author mainly talk about in the text?

A. How to keep friendship.        B. How to avoid hurting a friend.

C. How to express disagreements.   D. How to deal with disagreements. 

                               D

Summer heat can be dangerous, and heat leads to tragedy far too often. According to Kidsandcars Organization, an average of 37 young children per year die of car heat in the US, when they are accidentally left in a hot vehicle.

For Bishop Curry, a fifth grader from McKinney, Texas, one such incident hit close to home. A six-month-old baby from his neighborhood died after hours in a hot car. After hearing about her death, Curry decided that something needed to be done. Young Curry drew up a sketch(草图) of a device he called "Oasis."

The device would be attached to car seats and watch the temperature inside the car. If it reached a certain temperature in the car, and the device sensed a child in the car seat, it would begin to circulate cool air. Curry also designs the device using GPS and Wi-Fi technology, which would alarm the child's parents and, if there was no response from them, the police.

Curry's father believes that the invention has potential. "The cool thing about Bishop's thinking is none of this technology is new," he said. "We feel like the way he's thinking and combining all these technologies will get to production faster." His father even introduced the device to Toyota, where he works as an engineer.

In January, Curry's father launched a campaign for the invention. They hope to raise money to finalize the patent, build models, and find a manufacturer. They have raised more than twice that--over $46,000.

 "I was so proud of him for thinking of a solution," the father said. "We always just complain about things and rarely offer solutions."

32What inspired Curry to invent Oasis?  

A.His narrow escape from death after being locked in a car.

B.His knowledge of many children's death because of car heat.
C.The death of his neighbor's baby after being left in a hot car.
D.The injury of 37 children in his school in a car accident.

33.What would Oasis do if it was hot in a car with a child?
   A.It would inform the parents or even the police.
   B.It would pump out the hot air in the car.
   C.It would sound the alarm attached to the car.
   D.It would get the window open to save the child.
34.What does Curry's father think is cool about Curry's invention?
   A.It used some of the most advanced technology.
   B.It simply combined technologies that existed.
   C.It could accelerate production of new technology.
   D.It is the most advanced among similar products.
35.Why did Curry's father start a campaign to raise money?
   A.To conduct experiments to test the invention.
   B.To get other children devoted to inventions.
   C.To support a charity of medical aid for children.
   D.To get the patent and bring it to production.

续写的词数应为150左右。

A young man was getting ready to graduate from college. For many months he had admired a beautiful sports car in a dealer's showroom, and knowing his father could well afford it, he told him that was all he wanted.

As Graduation Day approached, the young man awaited signs that his father had purchased the car. Finally, on the morning of his graduation, his father called him into his private study. His father told him how proud he was to have such a fine son, and told him how much he loved him. He handed his son a beautiful wrapped gift box. Curious, but somewhat disappointed, the young man opened the box and found a lovely, leather-bound Bible, with the young man's name in gold. Angrily, he raised his voice to his father and said, "With all your money you give me a Bible?" He then stormed out of the house, leaving the Bible.

Many years passed and the young man was very successful in business. He had a beautiful home and a wonderful family, but realizing his father was very old, he thought perhaps he should go to see him. He had not seen him since that graduation day. Before he could make the arrangements, he received a telegram telling him his father had passed away, and willed all of his possessions to his son. He needed to come home immediately and take care of things.

When he arrived at his father's house,

读后续写

Paragraph1:

When he arrived at his father's house, sudden sadness and regret filled his heart. He began to search through his father's important papers and saw the still new Bible, just as he had left it years ago. With tears, he opened the Bible and began to turn the pages. As he was reading, a car key dropped from the back of the Bible. It had a tag with the dealer's name, the same dealer who had the sports car he had desired. On the tag was the date of his graduation, and the words... "PAID IN FULL".

Paragraph2:

How many times do we miss blessings because they are not packaged as we expected? Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; but remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for. Sometimes we don't realize the good fortune we have or we could have because we expect "the packaging" to be different. What may appear as bad fortune may in fact be the door that is just waiting to be opened.
