So, when kids act up, parents or teachers may tell them to stop monkeying around. It means to do things that are not useful or serious, or to simply waste time.Now, in the United States, children do not usually have monkeys as pets, but they do often have dogs. And dogs make most children feel happy. But for some reason, we use "dog" in a phrase that means to feel unwell. If you are as sick as a dog, you are really sick and will most likely stay home from work or school.Besides, dogs and cats are also favorite pets here in the States. This next phrase combines cats and secrets to make a very common expression. Let's say you know a secret, a big secret. And let's say you tell it to people. You have just let the cat out of the bag! This idiom means revealing(揭示) a secret or telling facts that were previously(先前) unknown.If you let the cat out of the bag, you spoil a surprise. So, if your friend is planning a big surprise birthday for another friend, don't let the cat out of the bag by accidentally saying it in front of thebirthday girl. Even though this is a very common idiom, the origin of "to let the cat out of the bag" is also unknown.If you are doing an outdoor activity—such as hiking in the woods, or having a picnic in a park—what are some things that may disturb your good time? Bad weather could. And so could bugs! Crawling pests like ants, and flying ones like mosquitoes, could make your experience uncomfortable or annoying.So, when we bug people we bother them so much that we affect their good time. This common expression is often said as a command: "Stop bugging me!"（1）According to the passage, "monkeying around" is considered _______.A.sillyB.wrongC.properD.happy（2）If you ask somebody to reveal a secret, you may use the phrase "_______".A.stop bugging meB.as sick as a dogC.monkeying aroundD.let the cat out of the bag（3）What is the meaning of the phrase "stop bugging me"?A.Don't trouble me.B.Give up your good time.C.Stop feeling annoyed.D.Don't comfort me.（4）What is the passage mainly about?（）A.The names of animals in the English language.B.The meaning of some English phrases.C.The origins of phrases about animals.D.The strange usages of some words.（二）What is it that makes people laugh? More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined (定义) jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph(胜利) by showing we're better than someone else in a certain way. According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group ofpersons—that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves. Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense.Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes. Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us. We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin. The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society. This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people.Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it's different from things which are happening around it. The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is. If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened. But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh. A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh.（1）According to Aristotle，all jokes depend mainly on ________.A.showing inferiority in another person or groupB.resulting in a sense of successC.having a good opinion of other peopleD.making people laugh unexpectedly（2）The underlined word “inferiority”(in Paragraph 1) means ________.A.something that is not as good as something elseB.something that is better than something elseC.someone that is not as good as someone elseD.someone that is better than someone else（3）What's the main idea of Paragraph 2? （）A.Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes.B.When people are angry，they would like to hear jokes.C.People who like jokes are usually cruel.D.To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes. （4）What will a good joke teller always try to do? （）A.Make a sad situation into a pleasant one.B.Make different things happen at the same time.C.Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation.D.Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place.四、任务型阅读（共10分）Having good study habits is key to success in college. ________ To begin making the change, you need to get organized to study.Create a fixed study space. Find a quiet space in your room or somewhere on campus where you can focus. Studying in the same place every day makes your brain combine a certain environment with work. ________Find a regular time for studying. If you study at the same time each day, your brain will be prepared for learning when you sit down. Review your schedule and see when you have free time. ________ You can study during gaps between classes or in the evening after your classes are done for the day.________ Make sure you have everything you need to study at your study space. If you're studying in a place in your home, keep things like your books, pencils, pens, and paper in that area. If you go out to study, you can take a book bag and keep all your studying materials stored there.Avoid distractions (干扰). When you prepare your study space, it's important to keep it away from distractions. Remove any technologies that will take your mind off your work, like your iPad. ________ Besides, keep other distracting materials such as outside reading, away from your study area.五、语法填空（共6分）1.He talked as if he had made great ________(contribute), but in fact, Alice did most of the job.2.The lecture, ________（start）at 7:00 pm last night, was followed by an observation of the moon with telescopes.3.The workmen made so ________ mess that Mrs. Walker had to spend three days cleaning up afterwards.4.—How could you pick out your friend so easily?—She is the kind of person who ________(stand) out in a crowd.5.As long as we are united, there is no difficulty we can ________(overcome).6.After the long march through the wild forest, they found themselves worn ________ as well as their clothes．六、书面表达（共25分）请你以The power of humor为话题写一篇短文，谈谈幽默在生活中的重要作用。

A★★☆☆☆In 2012,1 had just recovered from a serious illness when I received an invitation to a writer's conference in Orlando, Florida. My family and friends persuaded me that a holiday might be just what the doctor ordered, so off I went.Arriving in the Sunshine State was not easy, but I managed to catch a taxi to the hotel. The next morning, I caught another taxi to do some shopping. Later I went to a cafe to buy some lun ch, but havi ng my san dwich and drink in my han ds, I saw that all the tables were occupied （占用）.Then I heard a friendly voice saying, "You can share my table.〃I thankfully sat down with the smiling elderly lady and we shared a happy lunch together. As the meal drew to a close she asked how long I would be in Orlando. I had already told her that I had n't hired （租用）a car, and had n't realised how costly taking taxis would be. After a while she said, "My dear, don't use any more taxis. It would be my pleasure to drive you wherever you wish•“I told her that I couldn"t put her to that trouble, but she insisted. She took details ofwhere I was staying and the next morning she drove me to Disney World. She took me through the park's gates and spent some time with me before leaving me to explore alone. At the end of the day, she returned to take me back to my hotel. The next few days, she drove me around Orlando's tourist areas. I offered her money but she refused to take any.When we had lunch on my last day, I thanked her for her kindness. I'll never forget that wonderful lady who filled my holiday in Florida with wonderful memories.21.The author went to Orlando to _______ •A.see a doctorB.attend a meetingC.meet a friendD.visit a family member22.What did the elderly lady do?A.She offered her seat to the author.B.She helped the author hire a car.C.She drove the author to a park.D.She bought the author a lunch.23.We can infer from the text that the elderly lady is _________ •A.hard-workingB. good-lookingC. well-known D・ kind-hearted24.What's the best title for the text?A.My holiday heroB.Making a big differenceC.My trip to Disney WorldD.Difficulty in a foreign landB★★★☆☆What you communicate through your body language and nonverbal signals affects how others see you, how well they like and respect you, and whether or not they trust you. Unf ort un ately, many people send confusing non verbal signals without even knowing it.Jack, Ted and Arlene are all speakers who have got disastrous results while communicating with others.Jack believes he gets along great with others, but if you were to ask any of them, they would say that Jack makes them feel afraid. Rather than just look at you, he seems to eat you with his eyes. And he often shakes your hand so hard that it hurts. Jack is a caring guy who secretly wishes he had more friends, but hisnon verbal awkwardness （笨扌!11） keeps people at a dista nee.Ted is good-looking, hard-working, and a smooth talker, but he seems to care more about his thoughts than others. Whe n some one has somethi ng to say, Ted's wild eyes make him look like he wants to speak before they have finished. His in ability to liste n to others makes him un popular with many people.Arlene is funny and attractive, but even though she keeps laughing and smiling, she looks nervous. Her shoulders and eyebrows （眉毛）are noticeably raised, her voice is high, and her body is stiff. Being around Arlene makes many people feel un comfortable ・These smart, well-intentioned people try their best to connect with others. The sad thing is that they have no idea of the nonverbal messages they communicate. If you want to communicate effectively, avoid misunderstandings, and enjoy trusting relationships, its important to understand how to use body Ianguage.25.What's the problem with Jack?A.He can't keep a secret・B.He behaves improperly.C.He hates making friends.D.He means to frighten others.26.What do people think about Ted?A.He is caring.B.He is interesting.C.He is not a good listener.D.He is not a smooth talker.27.How is the text mainly developed?A.By using examples.B.By giving instructions.C.By presenting findings.D.By providing explanations.28.What's the main idea of the text?A.How to read body Ianguage.B.How to improve body Ianguage.C.Types of non verbal communication.D.Non verbal communication in relationships.Only Fools and Horseshe series mixes satire （讽朿此drama and great jokes to produce something that is both laugh-out-loud funny and packed with pity.A hit across the world, from Montenegro to Belgium, Only Fools and Horses can truly be said to be one of the television greats, as it continues to be repeated, loved, and picked up by new audiences almost 30 years since it first appeared on television scree ns.Open All HoursWith comedy giants Ronnie Baker and DavidJas on both on scree n together it isn't a surprise thatthis is a much loved comedy.Granville's half-hearted attempts to find excitementin his boring life and Arkwrights penny・pinching （吝啬白勺），shop-proud ways will make you laugh aloud・There are so many moments that people remember — be it Arkwrights stutter（U 吃）and Granville's adventurous deliveries. It was these moments and many more that will help ensure that Open All Hours will be repeated and loved by audiences for many more years to come.Fawlty Towers comedy of all time, the importance and popularity of Fawlty Towers is difficult to exaggerate （夸大）.The series was set with un reas on able but believable characters and won derful performances. Add in excellent short jokes and exciting dialogue, and you get this most popular and well-loved series.Blackadderseries of Blackadder remain highlyregarded and extremely popular almost 30 yearsafter they began.The only real exception to this is the firstseries, which is considered by many as beingunfunny. However, its completely different fromthe other series ofBlackadder. The humour is darker and less silly.However, because it combines historical research with jokes, satire and some of the cleverest and funniest replies that have ever appeared on British television,Blackadder is hard not to be loved by many people.29.If you're a fan of Ronnie Baker, you may choose ________A.BlackadderB.Fawlty TowersC.Open All HoursD.Only Fools and Horses30.Both Only Fools and Horses and Fawlty Towers ________A.mix short jokes with satireB.are popular among audiencesC.explore the pitiful side of humansD.have been put on across the world31.What can you expect from the Blackadder series?A.Dark humour.B.Un reas on able characters.C.Adventurous stories.D.Historical facts.My pare nts both love to liste n to their car radios. They also love their on going argument about which is better ——satellite radio or local, publicly supported stations. I get a lot of pleasure from hearing them try to persuade each other of their friendly arguments. They each try to persuade me, too. Both cars have nice sou nd systems, so they all sound great to me. I refuse to take sides.When I ride with my mother, she listens to radio programs on one of the two local public stations that serve our area. One is a classical music station broadcast by a university. I have to admit, the music usually sounds great, and they also cover college sports and other local events. The other station is an all-volunteer station that plays different kinds of music and news programs. Both stations are mostly listener・supported, which gives them a nice community （社区）feel. It also gives the programmers freedom to play what they want to hear. Mom loves very much the idea of having members of the community give small amounts of money toward something we can all enjoy.When Km in the car with my dad, he listens to satellite radio. He pays a small amount of money for the satellite radio, and he thinks it is a great bargain. He says he loves having so many stations to choose from, including all kinds of music and news choices.Mom's public radio is certainly simpler and much closer to home, but I also enjoy what Dad plays on his car radio. Each has its own merits. I like things just the way they are. I feel like I have the best of both radio worlds.32.What can we learn about the author's mother?A.She loves satellite radio very much.B.She has a strong sense of community.C.She likes listening to the radio at home・D.She works as a volunteer at a radio station.pared with local public radio, satellite radio _________.A.offers more music programsB.is mainly listener-supportedC.has more station choicesD.is free of charge34.The underlined word "merits" in the last paragraph can best be replaced by//A. advantages B・ problems C. chances D・ mistakes35.Which of the following shows the structure of the whole text?(P: Paragraph)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。

2002.On Christmas Eve,1992，Anthony had a heart transplant from a 21-year-old donor.Two days before Valentine's Day in 2002，Alfred received a 19-year-old heart，marking the first time on record that twin adults each received heart transplants.“I'm 15 minutes older than him，but now I'm younger because of my heart and I'm not going to respect him，”Alfred said with a grin，pointing to his brother while talking to a roomful of reporters，who laughed frequently at their jokes.While the twins knew that genetics might have played a role in their condition，they recognized that their eating habits might have also contributed to their heart problems.“We'd put half a pound of butter on a steak.I overdid it on all the food that tasted good，so I guess I deserved what I got for not dieting properly.”The discussion moved to Anthony's recovery.In the five years since his heart transplant，he had been on an exercise program where he regularly rode a bicycle for five miles，swam each day，and walked a couple of miles.He was still on medication，but not nearly as much as Alfred，who was just in the early stage of his recovery.“Right now I feel pretty young and I'm doing very well，”Anthony said.“I feel like a new person.”Alfred said his goal，of course，was to feel even better than his brother.But，he added，“I love my brother very much.We're very close and I'm sure we'll do jus t fine.”40．This article is mainly about ______.A．the danger of heart transplant surgeryB．becoming young by getting a new heartC．the effect of genetics on the heartD．the twin brothers who received heart

heart surgery was faster than Anthony's.C．His exercise program was better than Anthony's.D．His new heart was younger than Anthony's.CGoing，Going，Gone!The Haynes Middle School Parent-Teacher

vitamin A in their diet may develop night blindness.But in the developing world a lack（缺乏）of vitamin A causes much more serious harm to children.According to the WHO，as many as 25,000 children die every year because of a lack of vitamin A.One excellent source of vitamin A is found in sweet potatoes with orange flesh（果肉）．Orange sweet potatoes contain high levels of beta-carotene（β­胡萝卜素），which the body changes into vitamin A．Experts say orange sweet potatoes specially produced because of growing conditions in Africa could help solve the lack of vitamin A there.But，first，more people will need to be persuaded to eat them.Jan Low says the sweet potato needs a better image in Africa.“We do have an image problem with the sweet potato in general in Africa.”Ms.Low explains that sweet potatoes are mainly grown by poor women to feed their families in case（以防万一）another crop fails，so it is seen as a crop of the poor.Jan Low took part in a project to study how to market（推销）orange sweet potatoes to Africans.The project included radio messages about the benefits of the orange sweet potato.They advertised its ability to “fight diseases，make you strong，clear your skin and make you look healthy.”In areas without radio，they spread the message through theater.The performances included singing，dancing and storytelling.And everywhere they went，they wore orange T-shirts and hats.They even drove orange vehicles.Jan Low says the color of the orange sweet potato made it easier to gain public attention.Dan Gustafson heads the Washington office of the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization.He says most of these efforts in the past failed because organizers did not consider what people wanted to eat.But Mr.Gustafson sees a better chance for the efforts to increase the popularity of the orange sweet potato in Africa.“It is because you have got advertising that I think will work.”47．The first two paragraphs tell us that ______.A．people can't see well at night without eating sweet potatoesB．lack of sweet potatoes leads to many child deaths in AfricaC．African orange sweet potatoes are different from those in other placesD．orange sweet potatoes are rich in vitamin A48．Africans usually think that sweet potatoes ______.A．are food for poor peopleB．don't look beautiful in appearanceC．are the main food for womenD．can't grow well in Africa49．How did Jan Low advertise orange sweet potatoes in Africa?A．She sold them in the market herself.B．She spread the benefits of them by performing in some areas.C．She sent messages to the local people by mobile phones.D．She put an advertisement for them on TV.50．The text is mainly about ______.A．a better yet cheaper source of vitamin AB．the difficulty in changing the way people thinkC．the importance of vitamin A for our bodyD．an image problem for the orange sweet potatoⅣ.（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。

How funny somebody finds a certain thing depends on many things including ages, personal experiences, levels of education and locations. Therefore, humor is something that is not always transferable (可转移的) in another country.What about when both countries speak the same mother tongue? Does that mean they will then share the same sense of humor, or can differences still take place? Let's take the example of Britain and America. Time and time again, people say that Brits and Americans don't "get" each other's sense of humor. It is often argued that one of the most common differences between the British and American sense of humor is that Americans don't understand irony (反话). Simon Pegg exploresthis topic in depth in his article What Are You Laughing At? He concludes that this statement isn't true and I agree with him.In fact, Brits use irony on a daily basis while Americans don't. I think Americans understand British irony (most of the time anyway); what they don't understand is the need to use it so frequently. When Americans use irony, they tend to say that they are "only kidding". They feel the need to make a joke more obvious than Brits do. Maybe this comes from a fear of offending (冒犯) people.The American sense of humor is generally more slapstick (闹剧的) than that in Britain. I think this arises from a cultural difference between the two. Their jokes are more obvious and forward, a bit like Americans themselves. British jokes, on the other hand, tend to be more subtle. This may stem from the fact that British culture is more reserved (矜持的) than American culture.（1）What does Paragraph 1 mainly show? （）A.Humor is difficult to get.B.Humor is influenced by culture.C.Not all people have a sense of humor.D.It is important to have a sense of humor.（2）What is the author's point of view in Paragraph 2? （）A.Americans don't get Brits' humor.B.Americans know how to use irony.C.Simon Pegg is professional in using irony.D.Britain and America share the same sense of humor.（3）What can we learn about Brits and Americans from Paragraph 3? （）A.Americans' jokes often offend people.B.Brits' irony is not easy to understand.C.They are different in how often to use irony.D.They are not sure about the need to use irony. （4）What does the underlined word "subtle" mean? （）A.HiddenB.FunnyC.ObviousD.Special（二）Bill Gates and the president of General Motors have met for lunch, and Gates is going on and on about computer technology. "If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10, 000 miles per hour," says Gates. "Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case, the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50.Why haven't you guys kept up?"The president of GM smiles and says, "Because the federal government won't let us build cars that crash four times a day."Why is that funny (or not funny, as the case may be)? Human beings love to laugh, and the average adult laughs 17 times a day. Humans love to laugh so much that there are actually industries built around laughter. Jokes, sitcoms and comedians are all designed to get us laughing, because laughing feels good. For us it seems so natural, but the funny thing is that humans are one of the only species that laughs. Laughter is actually a complex response that involves many of the same skills used in solving problems.Laughter is a great thing—that's why we've all heard the saying, "Laughter is the best medicine." There is strong evidence that laughter can actually improve health and help fight disease. In this article, we'll look at laughter—what it is, what happens in our brains when we laugh, what makes us laugh and how it can make us healthier and happier. You'll also learn that there's a tremendous amount that no one understands yet.（1）What's the best title of the passage? （）ughterB.The joke between Gates and the president of General MotorsC.Why do we laugh?ughter and health（2）Which one is NOT true according to the passage?（）puter technology has developed quickly during the past few decades.B.Automotive technology has developed as fast as computer technology according to Bill Gates.C.The president of GM thinks it is impossible to build cars worth less than 50 dollars.D.If cars were less than 50 dollars, a large number of accidents would happen per day.（3）The underlined word "sitcoms" in Paragraph 3 means "________".A.situation comediesB.tragediesC.body languageD.fictions（4）This passage is most probably an ________.A.introduction of an article about MicrosoftB.introduction of an article about laughterC.article about laughterD.introduction of an article about General Motors四、任务型阅读（共5分）Simple ways to improve your written EnglishLots of people think it is really difficult to improve their written English.
