The fire was big, and soon became a sea of fire. On the second floor lived a little girl and her grandmother; the little girl’s parents had died, and she lived together with her grandma. In order to rescue the little girl, the grandmother was burned to death, leaving the little girl crying for help loudly.‎ How could people enter the house? At the very moment, a man carrying a ladder rushed to the flames and entered the house through the window. When he appeared again in the eyes of the people, the little girl was in his arms. He gave the child to the crowd, and then disappeared into the night.‎ This little girl had no family. Two months later a meeting was held to find a person to adopt the girl. A teacher was willing to adopt this child, and said she could give her the best education; a farmer wanted to adopt this child, saying that village life would let the child grow up healthily and happily; a rich man said, “I can give the child everything that others can do.”‎ A lot of people who wanted to adopt this child said a lot about the benefits of their adopting the child. But the little girl’s face had no expression. At this time, a man, through the crowd, walked straight to the little girl, and opened his arms for the little girl. People were puzzled, and they found that the man had terrible scars on his arms. The little girl let out a cry, “This is the man who saved me!” She suddenly jumped up and buried her face in his arms and sobbed. Naturally the man adopted the girl.‎ ‎24．What did the man do after he had saved the little girl?‎ A．He was injured and went to the hospital B．He gave the girl to the crowd and left quickly C．He returned to his work D．He took the girl home ‎25．The meeting was held there in order to .‎ A．decide who would adopt the girl B．find out who had rescued the girl C．decide how the girl would be raised D．honor the hero who had saved the girl ‎26．Knowing many people wanted to adopt her, the little girl .‎ A．wasn’t very happy B．felt very angry C．was surprised D．was excited ‎27．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．People didn’t want to help the little girl at first B．The man who had saved the girl was a fireman C．The rich man would not buy everything the girl needed D．The girl recognized the man and was happy to be adopted by him C Travelling can be a way to gain life experiences, especially during Spring Break — a week long school vacation in the United States. But what if you're a student and don't have enough money for a trip? Don't worry. Here are some useful suggestions.‎ ‎●Save: This probably is the most important preparation for travelling. Cut expenses to fatten your wallet so you'll have more choices about where to go and how to get there.‎ ‎●Plan ahead: Don't wait until the last minute to plan your trip. Tickets may cost more when bought on short notice. Giving yourself several months to get ready can mean security(安全) and savings.‎ ‎●Do your homework: No matter where you go, research the places you will visit. Decide what to see. Travel books will provide information on the cheapest hotels and restaurants.‎ ‎●Plan sensibly: Write down what you expect to spend for food and hotels. Stick to your plan or you may not have enough money to cover everything.‎ ‎●Travel in groups: Find someone who is interested in visiting the same places. By travelling with others you can share costs and experiences.‎ ‎●Work as you go: Need more money to support your trip? Look for work in the places you visit.‎ ‎●Go off the beaten path: Tourist cities may be expensive. You may want to rethink your trip and go to a lesser－known area. Smaller towns can have many interesting activities and sights.‎ ‎●Pack necessary things: The most important things to take are not always clothes: ‎ Remember medicine in case you get sick and snacks in case you cannot find a cheap restaurant.‎ ‎●Use the Internet: The Net can help to save money. Some useful websites include www. Travelocity. com, www. bargains－lowest－fare.com and www. Economic－travel. com.‎ By planning sensibly, even students can enjoy the travel. Your travel experiences will be remembered for a lifetime.‎ ‎28．This passage is mainly about ________.‎ A．how to plan your travel B．how to travel with enough money C．how to make your travel interesting D．how to get life experiences ‎29．Before your trip, the first thing you should do is ________.‎ A．to buy tickets in advance B．to make a plan of the route C．to save money by spending less D．to get information on the Internet ‎30．During your trip, ________.‎ A．you need more shoes than clothes B．you shouldn't look for work all the way C．you can gain valuable life experiences D．you should forget to do your homework ‎31．The author of the passage advises you ________.‎ A．to go to lesser－known area B．not to visit dangerous places C．to share costs with any other people D．to buy anything you want to buy D ‎ A long-term American study shows the importance of early education for poor children. The study is known as the Abecedarian Project. It involved more than one-hundred young children from poor families in North Carolina.‎ ‎ Half of the children attended an all-day program at a high-quality child-care center. The center offered educational, health and social programs. Children took part in games and activities to increase their thinking and language skills and social and emotional development. The program also included health foods for the children.‎ ‎ The children attended the program from when they were a few weeks old until the age of five years. The other group of children did not attend the child-care center. After the age of five, both groups attended public school.‎ ‎ Researchers compared the two groups of children. When they were babies, both groups had similar results in tests for mental and physical skills. However, from the age of eighteen months, the children in the educational child-care program did much better in tests.‎ ‎ The researchers tested the children again when they were twelve and fifteen years old. The tests found that the children who had been in the child-care center continued to have higher average test results. These children did much better on tests of reading and mathematics.‎ ‎ A few years ago, organizers of the Abecedarian Project tested the students again. At the time, each student was twenty-one years old. They were tested for thinking and educational ability, employment, parenting and social skills. The researchers found that the young adults who had the early education still did better in reading and mathematics tests. They were more than two times as likely to be attending college or to have completed college. In addition, the children ‎ who received early education were older on average, when their first child was born.‎ ‎ The study offers more evidence that learning during the first months and years of life is important for all later development.‎ ‎ The researchers of the Abecedarian Project believe their study shows a need for lawmakers to spend money on public early education. They believe these kinds of programs could reduce the number of children who do not complete school and are unemployed.‎ ‎32．The Abecedarian Project has lasted _______.‎ ‎ A. almost one year B. about five years ‎ C. more than 20 years D. no more than 15 years ‎33．Those who had been in the child-care center _______ compared with those who hadn't.‎ ‎ A. have their children at later ages B. get more help from other people ‎ C. have no parenting or social skills D. are poorer at reading and mathematics ‎34． What don't we know about the Abecedarian Project after reading the text?‎ ‎ A. What the children learned at the child-care center.‎ ‎ B. How important early education is for poor children.‎ ‎ C. How many children are involved in the Abecedarian Project.‎ ‎ D. Whether lawmakers will spend money on public early education.‎ ‎35．The study of the Abecedarian Project shows that early education _______.‎ ‎ A. costs a lot of money B. leads to a lower birthrate ‎ C. can improve the life of poor children D. is not important for later development 第二节：七选五（每题2分，共10分).‎ Most of us will admit that on occasions we can be bad－tempered. This can be for a number of reasons.‎ ‎36．As the body and mind are tired, it seems to take us less time to become angry just because of something that is of little importance. Young children are usually the cause of tiredness and it is highly likely that parents allow themselves to release(释放) their exhaustion directly at the children. Children are very good at remembering these instances and it will affect them for a long time. 37．‎ Diet and lifestyle can be key factors in causing a bad temper. Some people don't realize that their diet can directly affect their moods. Processed food and items that contain a lot of sugars, especially those that aren't natural sugars, can cause a rise in blood sugar. 38．Similarly, lifestyle choices can encourage bad tempers and poor moods, especially if drug and alcohol are used too frequently.39．‎ If you have noticed that you are becoming increasingly bad－tempered, it is important that you take steps to try and regain control.40．After you find the cause, try and make positive changes to prevent this from occurring in the future.‎ A．Find your ways to release your anger.‎ B．Check what it is that causes the bad mood.‎ C．Tiredness is often the most common reason.‎ D．Managing your anger is good for your health.‎ E．Therefore, it is important to have more patience when with children.‎ F．This rise can have a very negative effect on moods and mental performance.‎ G．So it is important to keep away from these temptations(诱惑) for your own mental state.‎ 第三部分：完形填空（每题1.5分，共30分）。‎ Here is a story about a student, who lost and regained his diary（日记） filled with private memories.
