Two brothers, Herbert and James, lived with their mother and a cat named Edgar. James were concerned about the cat, and when he had to leave town for several days, he left Herbert careful requirements about the pet’s care. At the end of his first day away, James telephoned his brother,   “How is Edgar?”

“Edgar is dead.” Herbert answered. There was a pause. Then James said, “Herbert, you’re insensitive (漠然的). You know how close I was to Edgar. You should have broken the news to me slowly. When I asked about Edgar tonight, you should have said, ‘Edgar’s on the roof , but I have called the fire department to get him down.’ And tomorrow when I called, you could have said the firemen were having trouble getting Edgar down, but you were hopeful they would succeed. Then when I called the third time, you could have told me that the firemen have done their best, but unfortunately Edgar had fallen off the roof and was at the veterinarian’s (兽医站). Then when I called the last time, you could have said that although everything possible had been done for Edgar, he had died. That’s the way a kind man would have told me about Edgar. And, oh, before I forget,” James added, “how is mother?”

“Oh,” Herbert said, pausing for a moment, “She’s on the roof.”

21. James telephoned his brother at the end of his first day away because he wanted to know _____.

A. what he was doing                      B. whether he was good

C. whether the cat was good                D. where his mother was

22. Why did James say his brother was insensitive?

A. Because he told him the news directly.     B. Because he killed their pet.

C. Because his mother was on the roof.       D. Because he missed the truth about the cat.

C. repairing the house                D. playing games

B

Sunny

Nowadays they are giving homework even during the holidays and I hate that very much. But I think there is a reason for it. Homework is given so that we can remember whatever we have learnt. But teachers have started to give too much homework. Anything in excess (过度) is bad. So homework should be given with the idea of giving students a practice and not to overwork them.

Jane

What’s the use of just homework without allowing children to get an insight (洞察) into the subject? It just makes them bookworms(书呆子) but nothing else. Homework such as writing some things 5 times at home will just make them memorize things but not put them into use. I find that most of the so-called high scorers are unable to answer simple things in an interview.

Sally

It is OK to give homework. But it should be given less. We are spending most of our time in school and at least we must be free in our home. If you give homework, we will be very tired, which in turn may affect our health both physically and mentally. So please give less homework to us.

Johnson

It is part of our work to give students homework. There will be some punishments if we won’t do our work. So I have to do that even if I know such a teacher is not liked by students.

24. Who thinks that too much homework may do harm to students’ physical and mental health?

A. Sunny.      B. Jane.       C. Sally.        D. Johnson.

25. Who thinks homework should help students put them into use?

A. Sunny.        B. Jane.       C. Sally.       D. Johnson.

26. According to the last paragraph, why do teachers give students homework?

A. Because they care more about students’ metal health.

B. Because they find it easy to control students in this way.

C. Because they have to follow the required rules as a teacher.

D. Because they want students to get interested in their studies.

C

Can we help those endangered animals? Yes, we may only do a little bit, but together our small actions add up to a lot.

1. Protect wildlife habitat(栖息地).

Perhaps many species suffer from the widespread destruction(破坏) of habitat. Cutting down forests, farming, and development all lead to loss of wildlife habitat. In areas where rare species live, habitat destruction can do damage to them. By protecting habitat, entire communities of animals can be protected together. Parks and reserves are now the only habitats that are left untouched by habitat destruction.

2. Reduce the threat of invasive (入侵的) species.

The spread of non-native species has greatly reduced native populations around the world. Invasive species compete with native species for resources (资源) and habitat. To feed themselves, they can even prey on native species directly, forcing native species towards extinction(灭绝).

3. Place decals (窗花) on windows.

It is reported that as many as one billion birds in the United States die each year because of collisions (碰撞) with windows. You can help reduce the number of collisions simply by placing decals on the windows in your home and office.

4. Slow down when driving.

Many native animals have to live in developed areas and this means they must move in human-living areas. One of the biggest obstacles (障碍) to them is that created by roads. Roads divide habitat and animals are in danger crossing from one side to the other. So when you’re driving, slow down and keep an eye out for wildlife.

27. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. How animals go to extinction      B. The importance of protecting wildlife

C. What to do to help save wildlife    D. How to protect wildlife habitat

28. By writing the underlined sentence, the writer means that _____.

A. more parks and reserves should be built

B. we should have more habitats free of destruction

C. there is a need for improvement in parks and reserves

D. parks and reserves are good examples of protecting wildlife

29. People are advised to put decals on windows to _____.

A. make the houses and the environment beautiful

B. protect the windows from birds hitting

C. attract more birds to make homes nearby

D. avoid birds hitting the windows by mistake

30. The underlined phrase “prey on” in the passage means _____.

A. drive away     B. live with      C. kill for food     D. fight with

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。

Ways to make a great first impression

You’ve heard it a million times already, but it really does take but a few seconds to make that all-important first impression（印象）. Here are some easy ways for you to impress your classmates or teachers.

●  31

Before you shake hands with somebody, make sure that your hands are clean. The handshake should not be too strong or weak. Most people use their right hands, unless they have a reason to use the left.   32 

● Be on time

When meeting someone for the first time, arriving on time is as important as breathing. You may have an excuse, but that will leave the person who hardly knows you with a bad impression. 33  It’s better to be hanging around the place than be stuck in traffic.

● Introduce yourself and ask for names

Make sure you properly introduce yourself. Ask for their names in a polite way.   34   This will increase the chances of their remembering your name in the future. Always remember to stand up when greeting someone and be sure to introduce them to anyone you’re with.

● Make good conversation

To get the most out of your discussion, try to find something common between the two of you.

35   A person will feel more comfortable with someone they can relate to（产生共鸣）.

A. Use body language

B. Have a proper handshake

C. Repeat the name and use it later in conversation.

D. As a general rule, plan to arrive about 30 minutes early.

E. It could be a similar taste in clothes or a common hobby.

F. You’ll be in serious trouble if you leave them with a bad impression.

G. However, don’t have your left hand in your pocket because this appears impolite.

One possible version

Dear Zack,

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble with your best friend and I know how it feels.

It seemed that you just wanted to play a joke rather than hurt Charlie on purpose. However, he took it seriously and feels hurt. I guess neither of you are wrong. Anyway, It was you who first caused the misunderstanding and I think you’d better reach out to apologize to break the ice if you cherish your friendship. How about writing a card to express your apology?

Hope you will get along well again.

Yours,

Li Hua
