Peter, a high school student, was pretty busy with school, and he was on the soccer team. High school was hard, because everyone wanted to have nice clothes, hang out, drive cars, and all these cost money. Peter’s father was the sort of guy that believed you had to earn whatever you got, so he wasn’t just about to hand over lots of money for Peter to use to have fun. So, he had to get a job.
During his freshman year summer vacation, his classmate got him a job working on a hay（干草）farm. He threw hay up into wagons as the tractor drove around fields, and then they stacked（剁起）it in the hot barn. It was a hot, low-paying job.
He once worked a few nights a week at a grocery store. He put things on the shelf. It was a lot of lifting and carrying, and his arms were strong from this and the previous job. It was dull and didn’t pay much.
He took some time off when soccer got serious, but the following summer he tried working at a lumber yard It was hot outside, but he got a lot of exercise lifting and carrying things like boards and drywall. He also learned a lot about building supplies. It still didn’t pay well.
From there, he spent a year doing some tutoring for a friend of the family, but that was Piecemeal. His first real job came the last year at school, when he fixed registers and worked on computers at a big box store. It was his favorite job yet, but it still didn’t pay well.
What Peter realized with all of these jobs was that he needed a better-paying job! The only way to get that was to get trained or educated. He could go to school and get a 2-year degree in an office or technical position. His other choices were going to a 4-year college or joining the army. He wasn’t sure what he was going to do yet, but he knew he had to do something. Jobs were a lot of work, money was hard to earn, but he liked staying busy and being able to buy things. Peter wanted the most out of life, and that meant education.
24. Why did Peter take his job so early?
A. Because Peter liked challenges.
B. Because his father didn’t treat him well.
C. Because Peter’s family couldn’t afford his education.

Plays are an important part of British culture. The West End theatre district in London is the best place to watch a professional play, but acting also takes place in every school and village hall across the country.
There are over 2,500 non-professional drama groups in the UK today and they are an active part of community life. people from all walks of life take on acting roles in addition to their regular jobs. They do it for fun, for the love of acting and as a way to meet new people.
Not everyone in a drama club is a skilled actor, but enthusiasm is considered to be more important than talent. Friends, family members and neighbours enjoy getting together to watch the final performance and telling the people they know to “break a leg(走运)”. It’s a great way of bringing communities together. Also, in many rural parts of Britain, non-professional theatre is the only chance people have to see plays for miles around.
Many people get a taste for acting at school. Every school puts on a play at least once per year, usually at Christmas, and parents love coming to watch their children perform. Ask any British person and they’re sure to have happy memories of being in their school’s Christmas play, whether they played the role of Mary or Joseph or perhaps even a sheep or a donkey.
Another Christmas theatre tradition is the pantomime(舞剧). Pantomimes are a type of musical comedy for families. The audience is encouraged to take part in the performance-singing along with the music and shouting to the actors. Pantomimes are really fun to watch, especially for children.
British people love going to the theatre, professional or not, and many of them also enjoy performing. If you have the chance, go and see a play in the UK.
28. What matters most for an actor in a drama club, according to the text?
A. Talent. B. Enthusiasm.
C. Professional training. D. Support from family.
29. According to the text, what is special about pantomimes?
A. All the performers are professional child actors.
B. The musical comedy is always about family life.
C. The audience is encouraged to interact with the actors.
D. The audience is allowed to play some small roles in them.
30. According to the text most Britain people ____________.
A. consider acting to be their regular jobs
B. learn how to be a professional actor in school
C. often participated in performance when in school
D. watch plays in the West End theatre district in London
31. What is the text mainly about?
A. Reasons why British people love plays
B. The origin of theatre traditions in the UK
C. Rules for theatergoers to follow in the UK
D. The popularity of non-professional plays in the UK

D
It is sad to learn that fewer of us now own pets. According to Mintel, just 56% of UK households（家庭）today include a pet, compared with 63% in 2012. It is down to our smaller homes. The housing crisis（危机）is taking away one of our life’s joys: pets.
Pets can help us get over serious illness. Pets lessen our anxiety. Pets can be a godsend for people experiencing various forms of mental disorders. As if all that were not enough, pets also help their owners get a date because of complex psychological reasons.
There do, of course, remain oppositions to the very idea of pets. The charity PETA puts it thus: “This selfish desire to own animals and receive love from them causes immeasurable suffering, which results from selling or giving them away casually, and taking away their opportunity to enjoy their natural behavior.” This is undoubtedly true in some situations. But seen from a different point of view, there’s something quite lovely about the story of people and their companion animals.
What was once a relationship based only on the animal’s functional effects—its ability to kill pests（害虫）, guard houses, and the like—has developed into something much more about care and love.
We share 84% of our DNA with dogs. We share 90% of our DNA with mice, for goodness sake. I have no idea how that works. But still pets remind us we’re part something bigger. Pets break down the barriers between us and the animal kingdom. We may teach pets to roll over, stand up, order takeaways and so on. But they teach us much more: that life is actually really quite short and so should be filled as much as possible with life-giving experiences.
32. What does the underlined part “is down to” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?
A. Is the result of. B. Is harmful to.
C. Is away from. D. Takes.
33. What does Paragraph 2 mainly talk about?
A. The benefits of keeping pets.
B. The reasons for which humans keep pets.
C. The fact that the number of pets is falling.
D. The relationship between humans and pets.
34. What does PETA think of keeping pets?
A. It does good to humans’ health.
B. It disturbs humans’ normal life.
C. It takes away pets’ chance of living freely.
D.It builds love between animals and humans.
35. What lesson can we learn from the last paragraph?
A. Human pet roots lie in their shared DNA. B. Humans are a small part of nature.
C. Two heads are better than one. D. Like attracts like.
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Are you new to experiencing relationship? Well, let me give you advice on how to have a healthy relationship with your partners.
Be an honest person with them. 36 Don't be afraid to say things that aren't very flattering about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If there's no trust，there's nothing there. So please be honest and they'll learn to open up to you.

Make sure you are encouraging to your partners. Always be willing to help them and give them honesty and positive at the time. Make them feel you are someone they can really depend on and build a future with. 38
Make sure you have a good sense of humor with them. Laughter is the key to happiness. Laugh a lot with them, and joke with them. Laughter may seem silly, but it’s the secret to a lot in life. It will keep the sparks alive. 39
Make sure the communication is good. This usually goes along with trust，so always communicate how you feel even if it's something that upsets you. 40 If they did something that made you unhappy，tell them about it in a respectful manner．It's important to communicate this to them，not to keep it bottled up.

Dear John,
I am more than glad to hear that you will come to my school as an exchange student. Since you are worried about the cultural differences, I’m writting to offer some suggestions.
In my opinion, there’s no need for you to be shy and all of us are willing to be friends with you. First, you should often communicate with our classmates in Chinese, which may help improve your spoken Chinese quickly. Besides, I am ready to introduce Chinese cultures to you. Only in this way will you deepen your understanding of Chinese and adjust to the life here more easily.
I believe that you will enjoy your life in our school and I am looking forward to your arrival.
Yours,
Li Hua
