Now let’s get to know some of them.‎ Sea cucumber Sea cucumber are strange animals living at the bottom of the sea. They wear brown or pale green coats with many sticks up. When summer comes, they stay deep to sleep because they are afraid of heat. And when it is autumn, they move to shallow (浅的) water and get their food.‎ Pike The pike is a kind of freshwater fish. They are good swimmers and like swimming near boats, waiting to be fed. They have sharp teeth to catch fishes. When they are young, they live in groups. However, when they grow up, they prefer to live alone.‎ Cuttlefish A cuttlefish can swim quite fast, so it is also called rocket (火箭) fish. It has eight arms and two feelers on its head, just around its mouth. It ejects ink (喷墨) when it is in danger. Its meat is delicious, and it is often the first choice for many people.‎ Octopus An octopus has long arms, with which to catch food and protect itself. When it is sleeping, one or two of its arms are still on duty, keeping moving. Once it feels something dangerous, it can wake up at once to take action.‎ ‎ 1. Sea cucumbers stay deep to sleep in summer because they  .‎ A. are afraid of high temperature ‎ B. want to get strong and fat C. are afraid of their enemy ‎ D. want to live alone ‎ 2.

Letters mailed in Italy are ‎ received in Japan. Letters mailed in Canada are received in Africa. On the letters are many different kinds of stamps, bought in different countries.     The Universal Postal Union helps each letter get to the right place as quickly as possible. It sets up rules about the size and weight of letters，postcards，and small packages（包裹）. It has rules that all countries must follow about international postal rates（费用）.     One hundred years ago, international mail did not move so smoothly. One country did not always accept another country's letters. Letters from some countries were too large to fit into the mailboxes of other countries. Letters travelled by many different routes（路线）. Some were lost along the way.     Sometimes the person who sent the letter could pay only part of the postage. The person receiving the letter had to pay the rest.     The United States was the first to suggest that all countries work together to settle the questions of international mail. In 1974, men from twenty-four countries met in Switzerland to form the Universal Postal Union. Today, more than 120 nations belong to this union. From its office in Switzerland, the union helps the mail to move safely and quickly around the world. 4.

Mrs Smith’s dog was hungry, but there was not any meat in the house.‎ Considering that there was no better way. Mrs Smith took a piece of paper, and wrote the following words on it: “give my dog half a pound of meat.” then she gave the paper to her dog and said gently: “take this to the butcher (person whose job is selling meat) and he’s going to give you your lunch today.”‎ Holding the piece of paper in its mouth, the dog ran to the butcher’s. It gave the paper to the butcher. The butcher read it carefully, recognized that it was really the lady’s handwriting and soon did it as he was asked to. The dog was very happy, and ate the meat up at once.‎ At noon, the dog came to the shop again. It gave the butcher a piece of paper again. After reading it, he gave it half a pound of meat once more.‎ The next day, the dog came again exactly at noon and as usual, it brought a piece of paper in the mouth. This time, the butcher did not take a look at the paper, and gave the dog its meat, for he had regarded the dog as one of his customers (people who buy sth. from a shop).‎ But, the dog came again at four o’clock, and the same thing happened once again. To the butcher’s more surprise, it came for the third time at six o’clock, and brought with it a third piece of paper. The butcher felt a bit puzzled. He said to himself, “This is a small dog. Why does Mrs Smith give it so much meat to eat today?”‎ Looking at the piece of paper, he found that there were not any words on it!‎ ‎8. It seemed that the dog knew well that the paper Mrs Smith gave it .‎ A. might do it harm ‎ B. could do it much good C. would help the butcher ‎ D. was worth many pounds ‎9. The butcher did not give any meat to the dog .‎ A. before he felt sure that the words were really written by Mrs Smith B. when he found that the words on the paper were not clear C. because he had sold out all the meat in his shop D. until he was paid enough by Mrs Smith ‎10. From its experience, the dog found that .‎ A. only the paper with Mrs Smith’s words in it could bring it meat B. the butcher would give the meat to it whenever he saw it C. Mrs Smith would pay for the meat it got from the butcher D. a piece of paper could bring it half a pound of meat ‎11. At the end of the story, you’ll find that .‎ A. the dog was clever enough to write on the paper B. the dog dared not go to the butchers any more C. the butcher was told not to give any meat to the dog D. The butcher found himself cheated (欺骗)‎ D Why is pink or purple a color for girls and blue or brown for boys?‎ The answer depends largely on cultural values(价值观) as well as personal experiences. To the Egyptians, green was a color that represented the hope and joy of spring, while for Muslims(穆斯林), it means heaven. Red is a symbol of good luck in many cultures. In China, children are given money in a red envelope to bring good fortune in the New Year. For many nations, blue is a symbol of protection and religious beliefs. Greek people often wear a blue necklace hoping to protect themselves against evils.‎ People’s choice of colors is also influenced by their bodies’ reaction(反应) toward them. Green is said to be the most restful color. It has the ability to reduce pain and relax people both mentally and physically. People who work in green environment have been found to have fewer stomachaches.‎ ‎ Red can cause a person’s blood pressure to rise and increase people’s appetites(食欲). Many decorators will include different shades of red in the restaurant. Similarly, many commercial websites will have a red “Buy Now” button because red is a color that easily catches a person’s eye.‎ Blue is another calming color. Unlike red, blue can cause people to lose appetite. So if you want to eat less, some suggest that eating from blue plates can help.‎ The next time you are deciding on what to wear or what color to decorate your room, think about the color carefully.‎ ‎12. Muslims regard green as a symbol of heaven mainly because of their ________.‎ A. cultural values ‎ B. commercial purposes C. personal experiences ‎ D. physical reactions to the color ‎13. Why will many commercial websites have a red “Buy Now” button?‎ A. To relax people physically. ‎ B. To increase people’s appetites.‎ C. To encourage people to make a purchase(购买).‎ D. To cause a person’s blood pressure to rise.‎ ‎14. What color might help lose weight according to the text?‎ A. Red B. Green. C. Blue. D. Purple.‎ ‎15. Which of the following would be the most proper title for the text?‎ A. Colors and Human Beings B. The Cultural Meaning of Color C. Colors and Personal Experiences D. The Meaning and Function(功能) of Color 第二节（共5小题，每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Forgiveness（宽恕）‎ To forgive is a virtue(美德), but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial（有益的） to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.‎ ‎16 Try the following steps:‎ Calm yourself. 17 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.‎ Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the person who hurt you does not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 18 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.‎ Take the control away from your offender(冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of focusing on your mounded feelings, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.‎ ‎19 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.‎ Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 20 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.‎ A. Why should you forgive? ‎ B. How should you start to forgive? ‎ C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.‎ D. Try to see things from you offender’s angle. ‎ E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.‎ F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique. ‎ G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选取可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I was tired and hungry after a long day of work.
