Disney World, Not To Be Missed!
Are you still looking for an amusement park to enjoy yourself? Then, Disney World is your best choice! Disney World has four theme parks.

It’s very best to come here in the morning when animals are more active. The safari(游猎) is open but the opening hours depend on the animals, and how active they are during the day.
Disney’s Hollywood Studios
You will discover plenty of huge attractions inside this movie park. Indiana Jones, Playhouse Disney Live, Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage, and also the Lights, Motors, Actions Extreme Stunt show are just few of what you need to watch out for.

“That’s funny! These fellows in the middle of the plate have died，” Dr Alexander Fleming was talking to another doctor in a laboratory in London.He had been studying some germs (细菌)that he was growing on a plate.They were very dangerous germs because they caused different kinds of illnesses that could kill people.Dr Fleming found that a mould (霉菌) had floated in through the window landing on the plate.It had killed some of the germs it had touched.
“This certainly looks promising，” Fleming said.“We must grow some of this mould to see if it will kill other germs.”
He named the strange mould “penicillin”．It proved to be a killer of many germs.Fifty mice were given deadly germs and then half of them were injected (注射) with penicillin.The twenty­five untreated mice died，but twenty­four of those that had been treated with penicillin lived.Dr Fleming wrote a report about what he had found out.Hardly anybody took any notice of it.
In 1938 Dr Howard Florey，an Australian working in London, read Dr Fleming’s report and was very interested.He found that penicillin was effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings.
When World War II broke out，it was not possible to make enough penicillin in England.Dr Florey went to America where he helped to have enormous amounts of this wonderful drug made.It saved the lives of thousands of soldiers，sailors and airmen who would have died from their wounds if the hospitals had not had penicillin.
24．Dr Alexander Fleming ______.
A．had been studying a mould which was very dangerous and could kill people
B．had been studying some of the germs on a plate which could cure illnesses
C．had been making experiments on some germs that he was growing on a plate
D．had been making experiments on different germs that could help sick people to get better
25．The reason why the twenty­five mice died was that _______.
A．they had been given deadly germs and had been injected with penicillin
B．they were almost dead ahead of the experiment
C．they were easy to die in the experiment
D．they had been given deadly germs and had not been injected with penicillin
26．In 1938，an Australian working in London named Howard Florey read Dr Fleming’s report and _______.
A．left England for America，making the drug
B．went to America to save the lives of thousands of soldiers，sailors and airmen
C．found penicillin effective in treating blood poisoning in human beings
D．went to America to make this drug for mice
27．The underlined word “enormous” means“ ____ ”．

C
Shyness equals losing opportunities，less pleasure and fewer social connections，but there are ways to make it a thing of the past.
When I was fifteen，I was shy.I remember an attractive girl trying to talk with me.My shyness made me focus on me instead of her.I heard my own voice but not hers and I thought about what I was trying to say instead of what she was trying to say.
To overcome shyness you need to learn to relax.This gives you the space to practice certain conversational skills.Relaxed socializing(社交) is so pleasurable.To start reducing your own shyness，I want you to absorb the following tips and ideas and start to put them into practice.
Focus your attention away from yourself.Notice what other people are wearing and make a mental note，listen to their conversation，imagine where they might live，and make a point of remembering names.Not only does this give you more to talk about，it also reduces social anxiety，leaving you feeling calmer.
Ask people open questions.Many people like to talk about themselves and will find you interesting if you find them interesting.Ask questions that require more than a “yes” or “no” response such as “What do you like about this place？rather than ”Do you like this place？“ Once they have answered，you can use add­on(追加)questions connected with the first such as“What other places do you like in this city？”Next you can express your views.This is a great way to get the conversation going.Now I love meeting new people and suspect that my current social confidence would be unrecognizable to my fifteen­year­old self.
28．The author didn’t pay attention to what the girl was saying because ____.
A．her voice was very low B．he was shy and nervous
C．he was attracted by her appearance D．he wasn’t interested in her topic
29．To get rid of your shyness，you should _____.
A．pay much attention to yourself B．find a beautiful girl to talk with
C．learn to talk to others in a relaxed way D．ask people some interesting questions
30．It can be inferred from the text that ______.
A．people will notice our appearance if we focus on their looks
B．shy people will have no friends unless they change themselves
C．shy people may suffer a great deal and may be less happy
D．girls like to show off their voices in front of boys
31．Which of the following questions will the author probably advise us to ask？
A．What a lovely day，isn’t it?
B．Do you like playing basketball?
C．Do you think he will pass the exam?
D．Why do you find that English is hard to learn?
D
Like you and your pet dog，plants are living things: they eat, drink, and grow.Unlike you and your dog，they can't run away, use fists or teeth, or hide under the covers when they' re threatened. But they can fight back.
Why would a plant need to fight back? To avoid being eaten, of course! Plants have several ways of protecting themselves. A plant can grow in a hidden or hard-to-get-to place.Think of plants you' ve seen growing on steep, rocky cliffs(悬崖). Or, a plant could make only some parts of itself attractive to hungry insects and animals. For instance, if a plant produced really tasty leaves, herbivores ( creatures that eat only plants) might eat the leaves instead of the seeds, which the plant needs for making more plants. Some plants have sharp or slippery(滑的) parts that discourage insects and other animals from getting too close, like the thorns(刺) on a rosebush.
But the most interesting way that plants fight back is by using chemicals. Plants take minerals from the soil and combine them into chemicals that do a lot of work. For example, plants produce chlorophyll(叶绿素)，which helps convert sunshine and water into the sugars that plants eat.
They also produce chemicals to help protect themselves. One kind of tobacco plants releases a chemical into the air whenever small bugs begin to eat it. The chemical signals large bugs, saying“Dinner 's ready!" The big bugs come to eat the little ones and save the plant.Most plants use chemicals in a more direct way against their enemies. In other words, plants make poison.
32. What does the underlined word "convert” mean?
A.Change B. Separate C. Form D. Produce
33. What do we know from the passage?
A. Some plants hide under the covers when faced with threat .
B. A plant grows in a hard-to-get-to place to draw people 's attention.
C. Some plants produce tasty leaves to protect their seeds.
D. Plants produce chemicals to meet the needs of big bugs.
34. What may be talked about following the last paragraph?
A. Different effects that different plant poisons cause on plant eaters.
B. Different kinds of plants in the world.
C. Why plants make poison.
D. How to protect plants.
35. What would be the best title for the passage?
A. Plant information B. Plant enemies
C. Plant poisons D. Plant self- protection
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。
Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer.
___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing(压制) anger.
For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___37___
Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure.
___38___ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “___39___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.”
Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. ___40___
A. Anger may cause you a cancer.
B. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it.
C. They said that laughter is much healthier than anger.
D. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time.
E. In general the person feels excited and ready to act.
F. Do not express your anger while angry.
G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.

 Dear Mr. Green,
I am very excited to learn that we are going to start a magazine together. It is indeed a wonderful idea and everyone hopes for its success.
I would like the magazine to have three columns: News, Teachers' Advice and Students' Voice. From the News column we can learn about what is going on in both of our schools. In Teachers' Advice, our teachers can give us such help as we may not be able to get in the classroom. Students' Voice will allow us to freely express our thoughts and feelings about our lives and studies.
I believe that this magazine will surely strengthen our ties, and I am looking forward to reading it.
Yours faithfully,
