" she wrote after her site attracted huge attentio n. "Thank you so much for all your lovely messages to me." Alice, who lives with her family in the northwest English town of Ulverston, revealed (透露)the manager of Take That had arranged for her to see the band after reading her blog.

They a rgued that the only way to restore willpower was by rest, food or entertainment.But psychologists have challenged this theory, saying weak w illpower is all in your head. They found that people's beliefs in willpower determine how long and how well they'll be able to work on a tough mental exercise. “If you think of willpower as something that's limited, you're more likely to be tired when yo u perform a difficult task,” said Prof. Veronika Job. “But if you t hink of willpower as something that is not easily used up, you can go on and on.”The researchers designed four experiments to test students' b eliefs in willpower. After a tiring task, those, who believed or w ere led to believe that willpower is a limited resource, perform ed worse on standard concentration tests than those who tho ught of willpower as something they had more control over. T hey also found that leading up to final exam week, students w ho believed the limited resource theory ate junk food 24 perce nt more often than those who believed they had more control i n resisting temptation.Mr. Job said. “The theory that willpower is a limited resource i s interesting, but it has had unintended consequences. Students who may already have trouble studying are being told that their power of concentration is limited, and they need to take frequent breaks. But a belief in willpower as a non-limited resource makes people stronger in their ability to work through challenges.”The findingscould help people who are battling temptation. Willpower isn't driven by a biologically based process as much as we used t o think. The belief in it is what influences your behavior. 40．(本题2分)The theory that willpower is limited supports that _________ .A.people must eat snacks when they feel tiredB.people do need a break to restore their willpowerC.there’s no way to strengthen people’s willpowerD.weak willpower doesn’t affect people’s life much41．(本题2分)What have the scientists long believed regarding willpower ?A.It is in the charge of people.B.It is a limited resource.C.There is no way to restore willpower.D.It doesn’t easily run out.42．(本题2分)Which of the following best helps the students to prepare b etter for their exams?A.Push themselves even if they want to take a break.B.Don’t eat fast food while studying.C.Remind themselves willpower is not limited.D.Stay in a comfortable and quiet place.43．(本题2分)What’s the best title for the passage?A.A new theory about willpowerB.How to build strong willpowerC.The great influence of willpowerD.Willpower doesn’t last longLillian Hanson, a college student, expects to graduate in abou t two years. What makes Mrs Hanson different from her classmates is her age – 73 years. She has been st udying at college, a few courses at a time, for 27 years. When Lillian Hanson graduated from high school, she went to the bank to borrow money for further education. The banker gave her no encouragement. He didn’t think that a country girl should borrow money to go to college. He thought she shouldbe at home doing work in the house or around the farm. So Li llian Hanson went home and raised a family of nine children in stead of going to college.Mrs Hanson never forgot her dream of getting a higher educat ion. When her children grew up, she tried again.She finds it is the hardest part of going back to school at her a ge to be sitting in class for long periods of time.

Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United Sta tes, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia an d New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and s ocial varieties of the language as well as various levels of usa ge that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an enough working knowledge of E nglish in addition to their own languages. The purpose for Eng lish learning and the situations in which such learning takes pl ace are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more diffi cult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for e ach situation.The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the ind efinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in w hich some of important works in science, technology, and oth er fields are being produced, and not always by native speake rs.

We a chieve it actively by direct experience, by testing and proving an idea, or by reasoning. We achieve knowledge passively by being told by someone else. Most of the learning that takes pl ace in the classroom and the kind that happens when we wat ch TV or read newspapers or magazines is passive. Condition ed as we are to passive learning, it’s not surprising that we de pend on it in our everyday communication with friends and co-workers.Unfortunately, passive learning has aserious problem. It makes us tend to accept what we are toldeven when it is little more than hearsay and rumor.Did you ever play the game Rumor? It begins when one perso n writes down a message but doesn’t show it to anyone. Then the person whispers it, word for word, to another person. Tha t person, in turn, whispers it to still another, and so on, throug h all the people playing the game. The last person writes dow n the message word for word as he or she hears it. Then the t wo written statements are compared. Typically, the original m essage has changed.That’s what happens in daily life. The simple fact that people r epeat a story in their own words changes the story. Then, too, most people listen imperfectly. And many enjoy adding their own creative touch to a story, trying to improve on it, stamping it with their personal style. Yet those who hear it think they kn ow.This process is also found among scholars and authors: A sta tement of opinion by one writer may be re-stated as a fact by another, who mat in turn be quoted by yet another; and this process my continue, unless it occurs to so meone to question the facts on which the original writer based his opinion or to challenge the interpretation he placed upon t hose facts.52．(本题2分)According to the passage, passive learning may occur in _ ________.A.doing a medical experimentB.solving a math problemC.visiting an exhibitionD.doing scientific reasoning 53．(本题2分)The underlined word “it” in paragraph 1 refer to _________.A.active learningB.knowledgemunicationD.passive learning54．(本题2分)The author mentions the game Rumor to show that ______ ___.A.a message may be changed when being passed onB.a message should be delivered in different waysC.people may have problems with their sense of hearingD.people tend not to believe in what they know as rumor 55．(本题2分)what can we infer from the passage?A.Active learning is less important.B.Passive learning may not be reliableC.Active learning occurs more frequently.D.Passive learning is not found among scholars.第II卷（非选择题）四、短文改错：56．Last week, I met a stranger who seemed to be losing.

Once I came out of the kitchen, complaining, “Mom, I can’t peel potatoes.I have only one hand.”Mom never looked up from sewing. “You get yourself into that kitchen and peel those potatoes,” she told me. “And don’t ever use that as an excuse for anything again!”In the second grade, our teacher lined up my class on the playground and had each of us race across the monkey bars, swinging from one high steel rod to the next. When it was my turn, I shook my head. Some kids behind me laughed, and I went home crying.That night I told Mom about it. She hugged me, and I saw her “we’ll see about that” look. The next afternoon, she took me back to school. At the deserted playground, Mom looked carefully at the bars.“Now, pull up with your right arm,” she advised. She stood by as I struggled to lift myself with my right hand until I could hold the bar with my other elbow （肘）. Day after day we practiced, and she praised me for every rung （横档）I reached. I’ll never forget the next time, crossing the rungs, I looked down at the kids who were standing with their mouths open.One night, after a dance at my new junior high, I lay in bed sobbing. I could hear Mom come into my room. “Mom,” I said, weeping, “none of the boys would dance with me.”For a long time, I didn’t hear anything. Then she said, “Oh, honey, someday you’ll be beating those boys off with a bat.” Her voice was faint. I peeked out from my covers to see tears running down her cheeks. Then I knew how much she suffered on my behalf. She had never let me see her tears.56. Which can be used to describe Mom’s attitude when she made the child peel pota toes?A. Cruel.B. Favorable.C.

But does Mother Nature agree? Animals can't talk, but can they lie in other ways? Can they lie with their bodies and behavior? Animal experts may not call it lying, but they do agree that many animals, from birds to chimpanzees, behave dishonestly to fool other animals. Why? Dishonesty often helps them survive.Many kinds of birds are very successful at fooling other animals. For example, a bird called the plover sometimes pretends to be hurt in order to protect its young. When a predator（猎食动物）gets close to its nest, the plover leads the predator away from the nest. How? It pretends to have a broken wing. The predator follows the "hurt" adult, leaving the baby birds safe in the nest.Another kind of bird, the scrub jay, buries its food so it always has something to eat. Scrub jays are also thieves. They watch where others bury their food and steal it. But clever scrub jays seem to know when a thief is watching them. So they go back later, unbury the food, and bury it again somewhere else.Birds called cuckoos have found a way to have babies without doing much work. How? They don't make nests. Instead, they get into other birds' nests secretly. Then they lay their eggs and fly away. When the baby birds come out, their adoptive parents feed them.Chimpanzees, or chimps, can also be sneaky. After a fight, the losing chimp will give its hand to the other. When the winning chimp puts out its hand, too, the chimps are friendly again. But an ani mal expert once saw a losing chimp take the winner's hand and start fighting again.Chimps are sneaky in other ways, too. When chimps find food that they love, such as bananas, it is natural for them to cry out. Then other chimps come running. But some clever chimps learn to cry very softly when they find food. That way, other chimps don't hear them, and they don't need to share their food.As children, many of us learn the saying "You can't fool Mother Nature." But maybe you can't trust her, either.60. A plover protects its young from a predator by______.A. getting closer to its youngB. driving away the adult predatorC. leaving its young in another nestD. pretending to be injured61. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. Some chimps lower their cry to keep food away from others.B. The losing chimp won the fight by taking the winner's hand.C. Cuckoos fool their adoptive parents by making no nests.D. Some clever scrub jays often steal their food back.62. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?A. Do animals lie?B. Does Mother Nature fool animals?C. How do animals learn to lie?D. How does honesty help animalssurvive?Section C (6%)Directions: Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.Most of the people experience the natural feeling of jealousy at some point in their lives when it comes to romance. Some people feel it more strongly than others and some even suffer from the feeling to the extent that jealousy starts consuming them. In some cases the feeling is justified and in others it is not. Frankly speaking, jealousy is a poisonous emotion, both for the person experiencing it and for their partner.For the most part, jealousy is a byproduct of one’s own problems with self-confidence and self-esteem. It is also about a deep fear of the unknown and of change, fear of being abandoned and of losing power or control in a relationship, and also the fear that the needs will not be met. Jealous people feel often very insecure and anxious about their worthiness, feeling that they might not be good enough for the other partner. They may feel threatened by good looks of other people comparing them to their own selves and worrying that the other part might leave them at any time. Whatever the reason is that caused jealous emotions, whether justified or not, the feeling can become a huge factor in disconnection between couples.Being in a relationship with someone who is very jealous, is very hard as in many cases it turns out that along with the jealousy suddenly comes control. A jealous partner wants to control everything the other part does, where they go, and who they communicate with. Sometimes extreme jealousy can also lead to physical violence. Violence will be harder to control as the relationship progresses, so if it started reaching dangerously high levels, it would be the best to break up, or if that is not manageable at that point, then there is a need to seek for help as soon as possible.So, how is it possible to prevent these ugly thoughts from appearing and from flooding one’s mind at all? The best thing to start with is to start communicating your feelings with your partner. It is important to ask them why they have chosen especially you and also tell them openly that you love them. You may want to explain also that because they are so important to you, you are feeling jealous and insecure about the relationship. There is a great chance that your partner will reassure you of the fact that he/she is in a relationship with you because of feelings for you only and not someone better to come along.63.What does the author think of jealousy?_____________________________________________________________________________64.Jealousy most probably implies a person’s lack of __________________________________65.Extreme jealousy is dangerous because __________________________________________(Note：Answer the questions or complete the statements in NO MORE THAN TEN WORDS.)第II卷（共25分）Ⅰ.Translation (15%)Section ADirections: Translate the following sentences into English, using the words given in the brackets.1.这张票能让你免费参观上海大剧院。

These libraries have a 21 of some 115 million books. And about one-third of the population are 22 of public libraries. This lending and reference library service is, with some limitation, free.Public libraries not only lend books, music scores(乐谱) and records, but also supply special libraries to 23 , among children, patients in hospital and prisoners, and they 24 in many kinds of extra activities, 25 reading, lectures, film shows, music circles and cooperation in adult education.The greatest and most famous library in Britain is that of the British Museum, which 26 over six million books. A copy of every book, magazine, newspaper, etc. 27 in Great Britain, must be sent to the British Museum. The reading room of the Museum is famous for the 28 of scholars and 29 people who have studied in it. The British Museum Library is not, by the way, a 30 library.The second 31 library in Britain is the Bodleian Library at Oxford. The National Library of Scotland, Cambridge University Library, and the National Library of Wales are also famous and may 32 a copy of every new 33 issued in Britain.

Without zoos many of the creatures we love and admire would no longer exist. Every single day，over one hundred animal species vanish. Scientists predict that as early as 2050 one quarter of the Earth’s species will become extinct.Some animals are in danger because they are hunted. Alarmingly, the population of tigers has already fallen by ninety-five percent. Other species are in danger because of a lack of food. For example, there are fewer than 1300 giant pandas left in the wild.Zoos have special breeding programmes to help those animals at risk. These breeding programmes are proving extremely successful. As Irene Shapiro from Zoo and Wildlife Support says, “the Puerto Rican Parrot has grown in numbers from just thirteen to about eighty-five and the Golden Lion Tamarin Monkey, which has almost ceased to exist twenty years ago, has been reintroduced back into the wild. ”Unfortunately, not everyone understands this important role zoos play. For example, Brian Featherstone from the Anti-Zoo Forum says, “I can’t believe we take animals from the wild and put them in cages for the entertainment of the public! We should view them on film or TV in their natural environment.，’However, this misses the point. A zoo does more than display animals to the public. It ensures their survival. Without zoos you would not be able to see many of these animals on TV or anywhere else!36．What’s the writer’s attitude towards zoos?A．He shows no opinion either for or against them.B．He thinks that they are unnecessary and cruel.C．He believes they play an important environmental role.D．He expresses a desire that more of them be built.37．The underlined word “vanish” in Paragraph 2 most probably means _____.A．remain B．disappear C．become rarer D．get killed 38．According to the passage the world’s tiger population _____.A．will rise by 5% next year B．is relatively stableC．is 95% smaller than in the past D．has fallen to 95%39．According to the passage some people do not agree with zoos because they _____ A．are too expensive to run B．put animals in dangerC．do not provide enough food D．keep animals locked up 40．According to the writer ，the most important function of the zoo is to _____. A．make a lot of money B．entertain visitorsC．ensure animals’ survival D．educate the publicResearchers at the University of Bedforshire have developed a new technique for powering electronic device（装置）. The system, developed by Professor Ben Allen at the Centre for Wireless Research, uses radio（无线电）waves as power.Believed to be a world first, the team claims it could eventually eliminate (or get rid of )the need for conventional batteries. The university has now filed a patent application to secure the only rights to the technique.Professor Allen and his team have created a system to use medium wave frequencies to replace batteries in small everyday devices like clocks and remote controls.The new technique uses the “waste” energy of radio waves and has been developed as part of the university’s research into “power harvesting”. Professor Allen said that as radio waves have energy―like light waves, sound waves or wind waves―then, in theory, these waves could be used to create power.“The emerging（新兴的）area of power harvesting technology promises to reduce our reliance on conventional batteries,” he said. “It’s really exciting way of taking power from sources other than what we would normally think of.”The team is now waiting for the results of the patent application to secure recognition of the technique. Professor Allen said that the team’s achievements had all been done in their “spare time”. “Our next stage is to try and raise some real funds so that we can take this work forward and make a working prototype（模型）and maybe partner up with the right people andtake this to a full product in due course,” he said.“Power harvesting has a really important part in our future, because, just in this country, we dispose of somewhere between 20,000 and 30,000 tonnes of batteries in landfill（垃圾填理）sites every single year－that is toxic chemicals going into the ground.”He added that development of the product could also be “commercially beneficial”. “The market for this is several billion pounds. We’ve seen market predictions for 2020 which have these kinds of figures, so there’s a lot of commercial potential in this area,” he said.Pro-Vice Chancellor at the University of Bedfordshire, Professor Carsten Maple, said, “This type of work is a reflection of the university’s growing reputation and experience in conducting innovative（创新的）research.”41．From the text we know the new technique for powering electronic devices_____. A．can be applied to all electronic devices.B．uses radio waves to create power.C．has replaced conventional batteries.D．produces many toxic chemicals.42．According to Professor Allen, power harvesting technology______.A．makes every use of radio waves.B．takes power from usual sources.C．reduces our dependency on conventional batteries.D．aims at huge commercial benefits.43．What can we learn about Professor Allen and his team from the text?A．They have made use of radio waves in their daily life.B．They have raised a big fund to support their research.C．They have gained a patent for their new technology.D．They mainly did their research in their spare time.44．What is Professor Carsten Maple’s attitude toward the new technique?A．Critical.B．Favorable.C．Conservative.D．Negative. 45．What is the text mainly about?A．A new technique to create power.B．A crisis concerning conventional batteries.C．Some special sources of power.D．The development of power harvesting.Since the end of World War I (WWI) in 1918，Canadians, and millions of others around the world have paused at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month to honour the sacrifices our soldiers have made in different wars, fighting for the freedoms that we all enjoy today. Known as Remembrance Day, the day originated as a tribute to the soldiers of WWI，a dark period for our young country, which claimed the lives of over 60,000 military personnel and civilians and over 16 million dead worldwide.As there are no more surviving soldiers of WWI，today we rely on the wisdom and words of those soldiers who fought in the wars that followed，and this day now also recognizes their heroic contribution.They tell us to always remember what those brave souls fought for, and all they ask in return is that we never forget.That’s why we wear the red poppy (罂粟花);that’s why when we see a soldier in uniform we should stop him or her and say “Thank you” ; that’s why we take a pause from our busy lives for two short minutes today to honor that request.Yet this message is fading away, year after year.Take for example the terrible decision to allow parents to excuse students from Remembrance Day ceremonies at school.Not only is this disrespectful, it distances the student from his or her classmates.It is difficult to understand why any Canadian parent would want to remove their child from the time-honored tradition of reading the poem In Flanders Fields, while a wreath of poppies is laid.It is more important than ever to teach school-aged children about our history，no matter how violent it was. Sheltering them from the realities of war is a great disservice. Understanding why conflicts happened, or happen today, can help shape choices and decisions they make as adults.Of course, because we live in a free society, we cannot force an individual to do something.Itis unfortunate, but some parents now have their child “opt-out” of the services. These people should be reminded they are free to make such choices only because of the men and women the rest of us are remembering.46．Which of the following is true about Remembrance Day?A．It’s only held in Canada.B．Its ceremony lasts 11 hours.C．It falls on November 11th each year.D．It’s to celebrate the country’s independence.47．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a Remembrance Day activity today? A．Stopping at 11a.m. to remember the war dead.B．Listening to stories told by WWI soldiers.C．Wearing a red poppy to show respect.D．Showing gratitude to soldiers in uniform.48．What can we learn from the passage?A．War history is too violent for school children.B．The writer was once a soldier in the Canadian army.C．Few students are willing to take part in Remembrance Day ceremonies.D．More parents are keeping their children away from frightening war stories.49．The underlined word “It” in the last paragraph probably refers to _____A．the death of so many soldiers in warsB．the fact that there were so many wars after WWIC．people’s ungratefulness for the freedom they haveD．removing children from Remembrance Day events50．The writer believes that_____A．the sacrifice of the soldiers should always be rememberedB．Remembrance Day is becoming less important for soldiersC．schools - no longer think Remembrance Day is necessaryD．people should be forced to learn about the realities of warMaurice Sendak’s children’s book, Where the Wild Things Are, published in 1963, has become very successful throughout the years and was made into a movie earlier this year. The book’s main character is a boy named Max who gets into trouble with his mother and is sent to bed without any supper. Before long, Max’s room magically becomes a forest, and he sails away to a land where monsters(怪物，怪兽) live. Max isn’t scared, though, and becomes king of the wild things, but after a while, he begins feeling homesick. Max sails back home and his supper is still hot when he arrives in his bedroom.Many teachers and professors like this story and use it to help children develop creativity andimagination. Melina Davis, an education professor, said she likes how the book contains a couple of pages that have only pictures on them. “This allows children to shape the story themselves,” she said.The book contains a few of larger words that some parents worry may confuse children, but experts say those words help improve children’s reading skills and challenge them.Davis said the book is well written which helps kids get involved in the story. “The book talks about what all children go through, like ‘I was naughty but my mommy still loves me’,” Davis said.The book also encourages children to face their fears. “I think it’s really good to show that Max makes friends with the monsters,” Davis said. “Kids can find out monsters aren’t always the thing under the bed that’s going to scare them. I think this is good because it shows that the children can go to scary places but still have a positive experience.”Since the book has been successful throughout the years, a movie was recently made and many people are excited to see it. Davis said she thinks the movie will be wonderful but it might be a little scary for younger children. “You don’t want bad dreams over a book that’s extremely wonderful,” Davis said.51．Teachers and professors like the book because it helps children ______. A．understand pictures B．improve reading skillsC．face their fear bravely D．become more imaginative52．Why does the book contain some larger words?A．To make the story more formal.B．To help challenge the children’s reading skillsC．To encourage children to learn more new words.D．To help children better understand the story.53．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．The character Max is brave enough in the story.B．Max was sent to the forest as punishment.C．People of all ages are in favor of the book.D．The movie based on the book proves to be a great success.54．What does Davis think of the movie?A．She thinks children of all ages will love it.B．She encourages children to see it to fight against their fear.C．She worries that it might be too frightening for some children.D．She believes it will be a better choice for children than the book.55．What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A．To advise parents to help children to improve their reading skills.B．To comment on a famous children’s book.C．To encourage children to face their fear and become more imaginative.D．To introduce a movie based on a children’s book.四、信息匹配请阅读下列应用文和相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。

汕头市2015—2016学年度普通高中毕业班教学质量考试英语试题附答案.docSelfies (自拍) have become an increasingly common way to capture memorable moments. When it comes to taking selfies , knowing the following tips can directly affect the quality of your final product.The use of light is vital to improving image quality. Lights can help avoid shadows and create soft features on your face, so turn your face toward the main light source. If you want to be creative, play with light angles by turning your body, but make sure the photo is properly exposed and your face is lit from the front or the side. Besides, avoid taking selfies against the main light source or with overhead lighting. In addition, natural light possesses a warmth that makes you look like you’re glowing.（发光）When taking selfies, angles also matter a lot. Hold the camera away from your face, and try to take photos both horizontally（水平地）and vertically(垂直地). If not, your face might look bigger than usual. Ideally, the universal selfie angle is 45 degrees above your head. But you should study your face at different angles because finding your best angle requires you having seen all of them.One problem with selfies is that most have distracting backgrounds. You can always do more to show others your best side. Try to simplify the background by taking selfies outdoors or in spacious areas. Document yourself engaging in interesting activities---hiking with family members, visiting landmarks, or working out with friends. At least, you can make the photo appealing by getting rid of your outstretched arm or a background that’s too busy.You can also download some photo apps that allow you to adjust the lighting and contrast. Some apps offer useful filters, which can change your skin tone and remove pimples (粉刺) on your face.1．To get an image of high quality, you need to _______.A. be under the light source  B. be against the main lightC. face the main light sourceD. have the photo fully exposed2．How can you find the angle that suits you most?A. Study your face at different angles.B. Hold the camera far enough from you.C. Keep the camera lower than your face.D. Place the camera 45 degrees above your head.3．Which of the following should be avoided when taking selfies?A. The use of natural light.B. A landmark as a background.C. Changes of the skin tone. D. A busy background.CADThe pounding（重击声）was driving Edward crazy. A new neighbor had just moved into the apartment below him. The newcomer was deaf, or seemed to be, because he played his stereo（立体声音响）loud enough for the whole building to hear.On the first day he heard the stereo rocking over, Edward marched downstairs and politely told the newcomer that his stereo was too loud. He asked the new tenant to turn the volume down and keep it down as long as he lived in the building. The tenant appeared surprised and embarrassed, and said, “Oh, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize it was that loud.”So, Edward returned upstairs, feeling good, because he hadtaken a stand and politely let the newcomer know that loud music was not going to be tolerated. The next day all was quiet, andEdward continued to be pleased with himself. The following day, Edward thought it must be Fourth of July, because a marching band was playing on his street. In fact, it was the new neighbor who was playing his music loud again.Edward was not one to repeat himself, feeling that each time you repeated yourself, you diminished the value of your words. So, he did what he always did with rude neighbors－—grin and bear it. Eventually, they would move away. What else are you going to do?In Los Angeles a year ago, a woman had complained to her upstairs neighbor that he was playing his drums too loud and too often. The drummer repeatedly ignored her. One day the woman walked upstairs and shot the drummer in the head and his girlfriend in the chest. The woman was sentenced to prison for 20 years.The dead drummer won’t bother anyone with his drums, but the woman might be wishing now that she had learned to grin and bear it. If she were still living in her apartment, shecould always move. When you’re in prison, you don’t have that option.4．The man living below where Edward lived was .A．a deaf man B．the owner of the houseC．a tenant D．an old neighbor5．What did Edward always do with rude neighbors?A．Grinning and bearing it.  B．Persuading them to stop repeatedly.C．Shouting them to dead. D．Moving away from the rude neighbors.6．The woman killed her neighbor because .A．he ignored her advice repeatedly B．she could not stand his playing the music too loudC．she could not put up with him any longer D．he played the drums too often7．The author writes the last paragraph to prove that .A．being in prison means the loss of freedom  B．grinning and bearing it is the best policyC．Edward should follow the example of the woman D．thewoman was right to kill her neighborCACBhe hardest days contain lessons that will help you be a better person．Feeling down? Consider these things to remember when you’re having a bad day．No one promised life would be perfect．If you look for perfection，you’ll never be content．Don’t condition your happiness on meeting every expectation you set for yourself．It is good to be ambitious，but you’ll never be perfect．If you expect otherwise，your life will be filled with disappointments．Success doesn’t happen overnight．Trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit．Don’t kid yourself into thinking success will come quickly．It isn’t easy to be patient，but anything worth doing requires time．If you get frustrated，remind yourself why your goal is important．There is a lesson in every struggle．And once the storm is over，you won’t remember how you made it through or how you managed to survive．But one thing is certain．When you come out of the storm，you won’t be the same person who walked in．That’s what this storm’s all about．Don’t complain about how terrible your life is．If you search for the lesson in yourpresent struggle，you’ll be able to make positive changes that would prevent similar situations in the future．Without hard times，you wouldn’t appreciate the good ones．Strength does not come from winning．Your struggles develop your strengths．When you go through hardships and decide not to give in，that is strength．It is hard to find much to smile about when you fail，but how else would you improve yourself? If you look at failure as a part of your evolutionary process，you’ll stay positive and pursue your goals for as long as it takes．8．Which of the following is the best title of this passage?A．Every person has to go through hard times.B．We can learn a lot from our struggles.C．We should accept the fact that life is not perfect.D．Things to remember when you are having a bad day.9．What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 3 mean?A．Success will come quickly.

On these specially made bracelets are the words “Cell Phone Ninja.”The bracelets are actually part of an experiment carried out by Chongqing Three Gorges University that challenges students not to use cell phones in class for 21 days.The experiment started on April 12. Each student who volunteered to participate received a bracelet. Before the first class and after the last class of each day, students were instructed to upload a photo of their bracelet to the school’s public Wechat account if they did not use their cell phones.Over 800 students signed up for the experiment and 400 were selected to participate. After seven days, only103 students remained. The experiment was set for 21 days because of a claim in psychology that 21 days is the length of time required to form any habit.According to the teachers monitoring the activity, there were no rewards or punishments in the experiment. It depended on students themselves to make the decision. Teachers hope students can form better study habits through activities like this one.24. What should the student do in the experiment?A.

According to the teachers monitoring the activity, through such activities ________.A. students must form a better study habitB. students could benefit from the activityC. students should depend on themselves to make a choiceD. few students attended it because there were no rewards or punishmentsCWhen we’re young and we dream of love and fulfillment, we think perhaps of moon-covered Parisian nights or walks along the beach at sunset. No one tells us that the greatest moments of a lifetime are short, unplanned and nearly always catch us off guard.Not long ago，as I was reading a bedtime story to my seven-year-old daughter, Annie，I became aware of her focused look. She was staring at me with a faraway, blank expression. Apparently, completing The Tale of Samuel Whiskers was not as important as we first thought.I asked what she was thinking about. “Mommy,” she whispered, “I just can't stop looking at your pretty face.”I almost dissolved(溶解) on the spot. Little did she know how many trying moments the glow of her sincerely loving statement would carry me through over the following years.Not long after, I took my four-year-old son to an elegant department store, where the sweet notes of a classic love song drew us toward a tuxedoed(穿晚礼服的) musician playing a grand piano. Sam and I sat down on a marble bench nearby, and he seemed as astonished by the pleasant theme as I was.
