Mr. Harris used to work in Dover, but then he changed his work, and he and his wife moved to another town. They did not have many friends there, but they soon met a lot of interesting people, and after a few weeks, they often went to dinner or to parties at other people’s houses.

Then Mrs. Harris said to her husband, “We’ve been to a lot of other people’s houses, and now we must invite them to our house, mustn’t we?”

“Yes, certainly,” answered her husband, “A big party will be the easiest thing, won’t it? Then we can start to invite people to dinner in small numbers next month.”

So Mrs. Harris said, “Yes, I’ll invite all our friends here to a big party on 5th December.”

“How many will that be?” Mr. Harris asked. “Don’t invite too many.”

Mrs. Harris was beginning to write the invitation when her husband saw that she was writing, “Party: 6:30 to 8:30 p.m.”

“That isn’t very nice, is it?” he said. “You’re telling our guests that they must go at 8:30.” So Mrs. Harris just wrote “Party: 6:30 p.m.”

A lot of guests came, and they all had a good time, so they did not go home at 8:30 p.m. In fact they were still there at midnight when the door bell rang and a policeman arrived. He said, “You must stop making a noise, because someone has complained(抱怨).”

Mr. Harris said he did not want to quarrel with the policeman, so everyone went home. They were sorry to have to go.

When Mr. and Mrs. Harris were alone again, she said to him, “That was a surprise, wasn’t it? Who complained about the noise?”

“I did,” Mr. Harris answered in a tired voice.

(    )29. What made Mr. and Mrs. Harris hold a party at their house?

A. They had gone to other people’s parties many times.

B. They could ask people to dinner in small numbers.

C. They liked making friends with others.

D. It was easy to hold a big party at home.

(    )30. When did the party end that evening?

A. At about 8:30 p.m.                B. When the policeman talked with Mr. Harris on the phone.

C. About twelve o’clock.              D. When someone telephoned the police station.

(    )31. Why did Mr. Harris telephoned the policeman about the noise?

A. Because someone rang his door bell many times at midnight.

B. He did not want his friends to stay late that night.

C. His friends had a good time that night and also feel tired.

D. Because his wife hated the noise.

(C)

Pets are popular. They’re good listeners, they encourage us to exercise, and they’re always on our side when we argue with others. They can bring people comfort and pleasure.

But it is important to keep in mind that pets can carry diseases that can make you sick. Washing your hands often—especially after you touch,feed, or clean up a pet — is the best way to keep yourself healthy and prevent the spread of disease. Be sure to clean your fingernails carefully every time you wash.

You also can protect your health by wearing gloves while cleaning animal cages or cat litter boxes. Avoid washing your pet in the bathtub(浴缸), but if you do, always disinfect(消毒)the tub immediately afterward.

Be sure to bring your pet to the hospital for examinations every two weeks or month and whenever your pet is sick or injured.

You can do a few other things to keep yourself and your pet healthy. Only give your pet food that has been planned ahead for them. It’s not a good idea to share your food with your pet. Human food (like chocolate) can make animals sick. Never feed your pet raw(生的)meat because it can carry germs(细菌)that cause serious illness.

And funny as it can be to see your dog or cat drinking from the toilet, don’t let pets do this. It’s bad for your pet’s health! Give them clean, fresh water to drink at all times.

Never give milk to cats. The only milk an animal should drink is from its mother. Cow’s milk is not for pets, especially for cats, as it makes them sick.

Finally, some animals aren’t pets. Don’t take in a wild or abandoned(被抛弃的)animal as a pet because it may have diseases that could make you or your family sick. Instead, turn to an animal rescue group that is trained in helping sick or abandoned animals.

(    )32. The first paragraph mainly tells us that pets can ______.

A. help us keep healthy B. bring us luck

C. be great friends D. do harm to us.

(    )33. What will make the cats sick?

A. Give them clean, fresh water to drink.

B. Let them drink the cow’s drink.

C. Wear gloves while cleaning the cats’ litter boxes.

D. Let them drink their mothers’ milk.

(    )34. Which is the RIGHT way to feed your pet?

A. Giving your cat cooked fish.              B. Letting your dog drink from the toilet.

C. Feeding your little cat with raw meat.       D. Sharing your chocolate with your dog.

(    )35. According to the text, when you meet an abandoned dog, you should ______.

A. help to find its owner                    B. bring it back to your home

C. give it first aid in time                   D. call an animal rescue group

Like it or not, plastic is everywhere. We sit on it, store our food in it, drink from it, text with it, type with it, and wear it. Americans buy 50 million plastic water bottles every year, and we throw away enough plastic items each year to c   46   the Earth four times. But still it is difficult to live w  47   it at present.

What can you do about it?

Broadreach has organized a Plastic-Free Day. This is your chance to make a d   48   by living without plastic for one day. Here’s how:

First, don’t buy anything made of plastic. It is c  49   that items like water bottles and many kids’ toys are made of plastic. However, there are some o  50   items that may contain hidden plastic.

Second, just say no to single-use plastics like straws, cups and bags. Many people love to drink from a straw or use plastic bags to c   51   things, but they are really an environmental disaster.

Third, bring your own utensils if you’re planning to eat o   52   . This one can be hard to remember. Just put a pair of chopsticks in your bag b   53   you leave home.

F  54  , take a water bottle or mug with you. You know you’re going to need some water to get you t  55     your day. So take a bottle or mug with you. That will help you avoid plastic bottles.

A

Our feelings influence almost every decision we make. Instead of living a boring life, positive (积极的) feelings can help us a lot. The pity is that sometimes become victims of feelings.

    In one of my latest books, I compare people's ability to controls (控制) on a media player. Just like the controls can help you enjoy wonderful songs, these methods will be choices for you to manage feelings successfully.

⒈Pause.

    Take time to stop and think before you speak or act. Of course, you may feel sorry if you like doing something without thinking-like sending an angry email or posting something bad on social media. If you feel your feelings getting out of control, pause. If possible, go for a short walk. Once you've calmed down, decide how you want to move forward.

⒉Volume control

    Have you ever noticed that when speaking with someone, your style or tone is a mirror (镜子) of the person's you are speaking to? If you stay calm or quiet, they'll follow you. Shout or scream, and they'll do just like you. If a discussion starts to become worse, try to change it by softening your tone or lowering your voice.

⒊Record

    If you want to learn more about another person's thoughts, recording, one way of careful listening, may help. You don't need to reply at once; you're listening to understand. Through careful listening, you often see things you didn't see before and can even discover misunderstandings you didn't know. Don't judge or offer advice before you know more about others and the topic.

阅读以上信息，用恰当的词完成下面的短文，每空一词。

   Sometimes, our decisions are affected by our feelings. If you keep positive feelings, you can ___56_____ living a boring life. Some methods can help you ____57____ in controlling your feelings. First, doing without thinking may make you ____58____what you've said or done. It's wise of you to pause when your feelings become bad. Second, when speaking with someone, the other person usually offers you a reply in the ____59____ style or tone. So controlling volume is very important.  What's more, recording is one way of careful listening, with the ____60____ of learning more about another person's thoughts. Follow this way, you can judge or offer suggestions.

B

阅读以下信息,根据短文填表格,每空一词。
  Every year some birds fly south when days turn cold and leaves from trees start to fall. They travel a very long way to find a warmer winter. This travel is called migration （迁徙）.

Birds do that because in winter most of the plants die and some insects (昆虫）hide. They fly away to find enough food. The next year when there is plenty of food for them to eat they will come back.

Birds fly in some ways. For example, they fly in groups like the letter V or in a row. The trip is often hard and it may be dangerous. But they never get lost because they look at the sun, the moon and stars.
