It was a Sunday afternoon. 31 the past few weekends, the four

it was.Later that evening, my parents 34 my sister Emily and me down in the living room saying that they had to talk to us. I sat down 35 on the far side of the couch. My father began slowly, as if he was 36 something back. Lines grew
deep in his forehead as he told us that he and my mother were getting a 37 . My mother started to 38 in her eyes and she went to the bathroom
and locked the door. She 39 tiptoed (踮脚走) because I didn’t realize she had gone 40 I heard her crying behind the door.
My father went over to the window and gazed out far beyond the view of our backyard.
What caused me the most 41 was the fact that I always thought my

to him more openly and I have learned to 46 the time I get to spend with him. With my mother it’s changed in a different way.
I’ve come to 47 her more. She works so hard to make sure that

阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。
A
Tea has long been a part of daily life in China. As a Chinese saying has it: “Firewood, rice, cooking oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are the seven necessities to begin a day.” But tea is so much more than just a hot drink.
Take tea bag art for example, which has become increasingly fashionable. Japanese artist Mari Omori takes used tea bags and fashions them into bizarre (奇异的) but amazing sculptures.
Omori says her success is down to her Asian heritage and love of a good cup of tea. A lot of the used tea bags in her work come from cups of tea she has drunk. The etiquette (礼仪) that often accompanies (伴随) sharing tea with guests in Asian cultures influences her work.
While tea bag artists may be impressing wealthy collectors, Chinese people have perfected the simpler, but much broader ranging, art of enjoying tea.
The association of artistry (艺术性) and drinking tea can be best seen in the Chinese tea ceremony, in which there is an obvious intricacy (复杂) and creativity in preparing, serving and tasting the tea.
But the fact is you don’t need a tea ceremony to appreciate tea. The familiar taste of Chinese green tea is warm and welcoming when drunk from a taxi driver’s tea flask, from a thermos in a guesthouse in a small town on a cold night or from your favorite cup in your apartment after a long day out.
Tea is something of a liquid equalizer. Everybody drinks it – locals, newcomers, migrant workers, office workers and top authorities. People drink tea with meals and they drink it on its own. They drink it by themselves and they drink as an excuse to socialize (社交).
Although tea is a commonality, it also highlights how dissimilar they can be. Tea in China is like wine in France – every region, with its different climate and different soil, produces a different type of tea.
When many people are all drinking the same pot of tea, there are sometimes differing opinions on how long to let it steep (泡茶). Some like it strong enough to knock your socks off, others prefer it lighter.
One thing is certain – nothing is more typically Chinese than a cup of tea, whatever type it is and however strong it may be. 51. What is the point of the article?
A. To promote China’s tea bag art.
B. To introduce the Chinese art of enjoying tea. C. To explain how tea influences culture in China.
D. To introduce the etiquette around sharing tea with guests. 52. What does Japanese artist Omori owe her success to?
A. Her fashion sense. B. Her social circle.
C. Her Chinese heritage. D. Her fascination with tea. 53. Which is TRUE according to the article?
A. To appreciate tea, you have to observe a tea ceremony.
B. Green tea is more common in China than other kinds of tea. C. Popular as tea is in China, tea varies from area to area.
D. People from different social classes drink tea in different ways. 54. By saying “Tea is something of a liquid equalizer”, the writer means that ______.
A. tea is beneficial in many different ways
B. people from different regions enjoy similar types of tea C. people who love tea have a lot in common
D. no matter what their social status is, all kinds of people enjoy tea B
New year is here, but are you prepared for the coming 12 months? It’s a good idea to think about what you want to achieve in 2011. Why not make a list of 30 books you would like to read? And perhaps you could lose some weight. How about trying to drop 10 kilograms before the new semester begins?
But, baby steps, guys. Baby steps.
Most of us default on our new year’s resolutions(决心), and it’s hardly surprising. We aim too high and expect immediate results. Experts say it’s time to reexamine our approach.
“The way we go about resolutions doesn’t really work,” says Mike Robbins, a US life coach and author. “People have these great intentions but they don’t have any support to make them happen.”
Robbins suggests making clear, goal-oriented resolutions. Your goals need to be more specific than, “work harder next semester,” he says.
“What you should be doing is making specific actionable promises to yourself that you can actually keep,” says Trisha Calvo, executive editor of Shape magazine. Be sure to write down your resolutions. Tape them to the wall. Share them with someone, and check with every few months to stay on track. Below are some examples of realistic resolutions. Weight loss
Dropping double-digit (两位数的) kilograms in two months can be unrealistic. Instead, decide to walk an hour seven days a week, or trade an afternoon cake for an apple or banana, Calvo says. See the changes as a new lifestyle.
Remember, each kilogram of weight loss should be celebrated. “Congratulate yourself with small rewards – a new book, a relaxing day, great running shoes,” she says.
When it comes to eating healthily, eating more slowly, and not eating in front of the TV are obvious resolutions. “When you sit down and focus on your meal, you get more than the substance (营养),” Calvo says. Keeping a journal
This year, make it a new year’s resolutions to spend a little bit of each day writing down the highs and lows. Perhaps that sounds difficult, but think that in the future you will be able to look back on your journal and have a vivid sense of what your life was like in the crucial adolescent (青春期的) years. 55.The article is mainly about ______.
A. how to keep track of new year’s resolutions B. how to make practical resolutions
C. the reasons why it is difficult to keep resolutions D. unrealistic ways to go about resolutions 56.The underlined word “default” means ______.
A. keep changing B. work hard
C. fail to realize D. don’t like making 57.According to Trisha Calvo, ______.
A. people don’t intend to keep their new year’s resolutions B. friends and family can be asked to help monitor work toward resolutions
C. resolutions shouldn’t be too general and should be easy to put into practice
D. it is necessary for those who want to keep their resolutions
to think in terms of specific dates
58.Which of the following is suggested in the article?
A. Losing weight by double digits before the beginning of the New semester.
B. Keeping a journal on progress toward realizing resolutions. C. Changing lifestyle rather than making unrealistic plans. D. Congratulating oneself when a resolution has been achieved. C
The days of the hunter are almost over in India .This is partly because there is practically nothing left to kill ,and partly because some steps have been taken ,mainly by banning tiger-shooting ,to protect those animals which still survive.
Some people say that Man is naturally a hunter .I disagree with this view .Surely out earliest forefathers ,who at first possessed no weapons ,spent their time digging for roots ,and were no doubt themselves often hunted by meat-eating animals.
I believe the main reason why the modern hunter kills is that he thinks people will admire his courage in overpowering dangerous animals .Of course ,there are some who truly believe that the killing is not really the important thing ,and that the chief pleasure lies in the joy of the hunt and the beauties of the wild countryside .There are also those for whom hunting in fact offers a chance to prove themselves and risk death by design ;these men go out after dangerous animals like tigers ,even if they say they only do it to rid the countryside of a threat .I can respect reasons like these ,but they are clearly different from the need to strengthen your high opinion of yourself.
The greatest big-game hunters expressed in their writings something of these finer motives(动机).One of them wrote.
“You must properly respect what you are after and shoot it cleanly and on the animal’s own territory(领地)。You must fix forever in your mind all the wonders of that particular day .This is better than letting him grow a few years older to be attacked and wounded by his own son and eventually eaten, half alive ,by other animals ,Hunting is not a cruel and senseless killing – not if you respect the thing you kill ,not if you kill to enrich your memories ,not if you kill to feed your people.”
I can understand such beliefs ,and can compare these hunters with those who hunted lions with spears(矛) and bravely caught them by the tail .But this is very different from many tiger—shoots I have seen ,in which modern weapons were used .The so—called hunters fired from tall trees or from the backs of trained elephants .Such methods made tigers seem no more dangerous than rabbits. 59.Theere is no more hunting in India now partly because___. A. hunters want to protect animals B. there are few animals left to hunt C. it is dangerous to hunt there D. hunting is already out of date
60.The author thinks modern hunters kill mainly____.
A. to gain power and influence B. to improve their health
C. to make the countryside safe D. to earn people’s admiration
61.What do we learn about the big-game hunters? A. They hunt for food B. They hunt for money C. They hunt old animals D. They mistreat animals
62.What is the author’s view on the tiger-shoots he has seen? A. Modern hunters like to hunt rabbits instead of tigers B. Modern hunters should put their safety first
C. Modern hunters lack the courage to hunt face-to-face D. Modern hunters should use more advanced weapons D
We think we know pandas. They are the endangered animals that live in the forests of China. They spend their days chewing bamboo. They don’t reproduce(繁殖) very often. But did you know that pandas quite like meat? Did you know they can climb trees and swim? Pandas are actually a lot more mysterious than people think, researchers say. Let’s find out some more about them. Pandas eat meat
While ninety-nine percent of the panda’s diet is bamboo, it also eats rice, carrots, apples and sweet potatoes. Pandas sometimes eat rodents (啮齿动物), deer, insects, honey, eggs and fish. In 2009, scientists studied the panda genome (基因组). They found a gene that means pandas probably can’t taste flesh. But they also found genes for digesting (消化) meat. This may explain why they don’t seek meat out that often. However, when the opportunity presents itself, pandas will happily eat meat. Pandas climb and swim
Pandas are good climbers. Even panda cubs (幼兽) can climb trees. They can also swim, though they spend most of their time on land.
Pandas don’t often show these two abilities. Instead, they spend most of their time resting and eating. Unlike other bear species, pandas do not hibernate (冬眠) during the winter months. Pandas attack
Pandas are passive animals. When they are frightened, they will try to escape an area immediately or they will climb the nearest tree. But when they are provoked they can become violent. They show their anger by lowering their heads and staring at their opponents (对手). They may use their paws (手掌) and mouths to attack. Pandas locate each other by smell
Pandas have an unusual breeding (繁殖) system. Females are fertile for just one or two days a year. This means it’s difficult for a female panda to become pregnant. Yet during this important period, males and females show a great talent for finding each other, so much that females appear to get pregnant in the wild at almost every
opportunity.
Researchers have found that this success comes down to their sense of smell. Pandas leave “scent posts” (气味布告) throughout the forest by urinating (小便) on trees. Those posts give information about their owners, including their identity, sex and age. When other pandas pass they can get an idea of which other of their species have been the same way.
63. Which of the following statements is a misunderstanding about pandas according to the article?
A. Pandas never eat meat.
B. Baby pandas know how to swim.
C. Pandas are still endangered animals. D. Bamboo makes up of most of pandas’ diet.
64. According to the article, pandas may attack people when they are ______. A. afraid B. angry C. excited D. hurt
65. According to the article, pandas don’t give birth often because ______. A. female pandas can only get pregnant on just one or two days in a year
B. male pandas have great difficulty finding female pandas C. many pandas don’t have the right gene to give birth D. female pandas don’t like the smell of male pandas 66. What does the article mainly tell us? A. Why pandas are an endangered species.
B. Efforts by Chinese scientists to save endangered animals. C. Some interesting facts people don’t know about pandas. D. A discovery about how pandas give birth. E
While Christmas shopping in a jewelry (珠宝) store, I discovered a clearance (清仓) table of gilded (镀金的) ornaments. So beautiful in design, each had a personality all its own. I looked through hundreds of pieces, picked out a few and took them home.
Deciding they were much too pretty to disappear among the small gifts of a Christmas tree, I used them instead to decorate wreaths (花环). When I stood back to admire my work, a thought crossed my mind: Wouldn’t some of our family and friends like these, too?
I raced back to the jewelry store to discover that the piles of ornaments had been reduced even further. This time I bought dozens as I thought of the many people who might enjoy one for the holidays. I eagerly began my creative project. For days, my family tiptoed around and slept among the miniature (微缩的) masterpieces.
While I tied lovely bows and glued golden ornaments, my mind wandered to Christmases past, how special each had been. I thought about others perhaps not so fortunate. Some people in our community didn’t have a family to share the joy of Christmas. Some didn’t bother with holiday decorations. Some never left their homes to celebrate the season.
I nodded my head in determined satisfaction. They would be at the top of my list to receive a little wreath. My husband joined me in the plan, and we set out together to put it into action.
We visited the aged. We visited the widowed (寡居的). We visited the lonely. Each one was thrilled with our cheery stop and immediately hung our small gifts – often the only signs of celebration in their homes.
After several days, I realized we had made and given almost two hundred wreaths. Decorated with love and delivered with delight, they filled many homes and hearts with the joy of Christmas.
And I came to the simple realization that we were actually the ones who received the greatest blessing that year. We had found our Christmas spirit in the doing and giving.
67.What attracted the writer when she was shopping in a jewelry store? A. A gilded table. B. A golden wreath.
C. Ornaments on sale. D. Beautifully designed necklaces. 68. It can be inferred from the article that ______.
A. the ornaments the writer was very fond of sold well before Christmas
B. the writer returned to the store to find the price of the ornaments had gone down
C. the writer went to buy more ornaments because her family liked them
D. a Christmas tree and wreaths are not a tradition in the writer’s family 69. The underlined word “They” in Paragraph 6 refers to ____. A. the writer’s friends B. the decorations C. those who didn’t have a family in the community
D. the less fortunate people in the writer’s community
70. What message does the writer intend to convey with the story? A. Giving can be rewarding.
B. Realizing how unhappy some are makes us feel happier.
C. The Christmas spirit should be spread as widely as possible. D. It’s fun to exchange gifts with the people around you.
