The trees again have leaves and the flowers are blooming. The season represents hope，joy and beauty. At this time，many people think of this classical music piece—Spring，which shows happiness. Italian composer Antonio Vivaldi wrote it in the seventeen hundreds.‎ However，not all songs about spring are happy. This song written and sung by K．D. Lang is about dreaming of spring in cold dark places. She recorded I Dream of Spring in 2008.‎ Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein wrote It Might as Well Be Spring for the movie State Fair in 1945.Frank Sinatra sings it. It is a feeling of restlessness or excitement brought on by the coming of spring. Richard Rodgers also wrote Spring Is Here，this time with Lorenz Hart. Ella Fitzgerald sings this song about feeling lonely during this season.‎ Frank Loesser wrote the sad song，Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year. Why has the season been delayed? Because the singer's lover has left her. Sarah Vaughn released(发行) her version of the song in 1953.‎ By now you may be thinking，“Enough with the sad songs， already！”OK，then how about a cowboy song? Gene Autry was one of the America's most famous singing cowboys. He recorded When It's Springtime in the Rockies in 1937.‎ And finally，we'll leave you with a sunny song called Up Jumped Spring. Freddie Hubbard wrote this jazz song in 1977 and Billy Taylor Trio performs it.‎ ‎24. If you are in a bad mood，you'd better listen to________.‎ A．Up Jumped Spring B．I Dream of Spring C．Spring Is Here D．Spring Will Be a Little Late This Year ‎25. It Might as Well Be Spring is a song that________.‎ A．is also called State Fair B．is sung by Ella Fitzgerald C．has a lonely feeling D．was written by two people ‎26. According to the passage，which of the following is TRUE?‎ A．Most songs about spring are written by Italian composers.‎ B．K. D. Lang was good at writing happy songs.‎ C．Sarah Vaughn sang the song Up Jumped Spring first.‎ D．Gene Autry was a famous cowboy singer before K．D. Lang.‎ C Do dogs understand us?‎ ‎ Be careful what you say around your dog. It might understand more than you think.‎ ‎ A border collie named Rico recognizes the names of about 200 objects, say researchers in Germany. The dog also appears to be able to learn new words as easily as a 3-year-old child. Its word-learning skills are as good as those of a parrot or chimpanzee(黑猩猩).‎ ‎ In one experiment, the researchers took all 200 items that Rico is supposed to know and divided them into 20 groups of 10 objects. Then the owner told the dog to go and fetch one of the items and bring it back. In four tests, Rico got 37 out of 40 commands right. As the dog couldn't see anyone to get clues, the scientists believe Rico must understand the meanings of certain words.‎ ‎ In another experiment, the scientists took one toy that Rico had never seen before and put it in a room with seven toys whose names the dog already knew. The owner then told Rico to fetch the object, using a word the dog had never heard before.‎ ‎ The correct object was chosen in seven out of l0 tests, suggesting that the dog had worked out the answer by process of elimination(排除法). A month later, Rico remembered half of the new names, which is even more impressive. ‎ ‎ Rico is thought to be smarter than the average dog. For one thing, Rico is a border collie, a breed (品种)known for its mental abilities. In addition, the 9-year-old dog has been trained to fetch toys by their names since the age of nine months.‎ ‎ It's hard to know if all dogs understand at least some of the words we say. Even if they do, they can't talk back. Still, it wouldn't hurt to sweet-talk your dog every now and then. You might just get a big, wet kiss in return!‎ ‎27. From paragraph 2 we know that __ .‎ ‎ A. animals are as clever as human beings ‎ B. dogs are smarter than parrots and chimpanzees ‎ C. chimpanzees have very good word-learning skills ‎ D. dogs have similar 'learning abilities as 3-year-old children ‎28. Both experiments show that .‎ ‎ A. Rico is smart enough to get all commands right ‎ B. Rico can recognize different things including toys ‎ C. Rico has developed the ability of learning mathematics ‎ D. Rico won't forget the names of objects once recognizing them ‎29. Which of the following statements is true?‎ ‎ A. The purpose of the experiments is to show the border collie's mental abilities.‎ ‎ B. Rico has a better memory partly because of its proper early training.‎ ‎ C. The border collie is world-famous for recognizing objects.‎ ‎ D. Rico is born to understand its owner's commands.‎ ‎30. What does the writer want to tell us?‎ ‎ A. To train your dog. B. To talk to your dog.‎ ‎ C. To be friendly to your dog. D. To be careful with your dog.‎ D ‎　　Maybe ten-year-old Elizabeth put it best when she said to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead."‎ ‎　　Dad, in a hurry to get home before dark so he could go for a run, had forgotten to wear his safety belt-- a mistake 75% of US population make every day. The big question is why.‎ ‎　　There have been many myths about safety belt ever since their first appearance in cars some forty years ago. The following are three of the most common. ‎ ‎　　Myth the Number One: It's best to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident.‎ ‎　　Truth: Sorry, but any accident serious enough to "throw you clear" is able going to be serious enough to give you a very bad landing. And ‎ chances are you'll have traveled through a windshield (挡风玻璃)or door to do it. Studies show that chances of dying after a car accident are twenty-five times in cases where people are "thrown clear".‎ ‎　　Myth Number Two: Safety-bets "trap" people in cars that are burning or sinking in water.‎ ‎ Truth: Sorry again, but studies show that people knocked unconscious (昏迷) due to not wearing safety belts have a greater chance of dying in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having in these accidents. People wearing safety belts are usually protected to the point of having a clear head to free themselves from such dangerous situation, not to be trapped in them.‎ ‎　　Myth Number Three: Safety belts aren't needed at speeds of less than 30 miles per hour (mph).‎ ‎　　Truth: When two cars traveling at 30 mph hit each other, an unbelted driver would meet the windshield with a force equal to diving headfirst into the ground from a height of 10 metres. ‎ ‎31. Why did Elizabeth say to her father, "But, Dad, you can't be healthy if you're dead"?‎ A. He was driving at great speed.‎ B. He was running across the street.‎ C. He didn't have his safety belt on.‎ D. He didn't take his medicine on time.‎ ‎32. The reason father was in a hurry to get home was that he __________.‎ A. wasn't feeling very well B. hated to drive in the dark C. wanted to take some exercise D. didn't want to be caught by the people ‎33. According to the text, to be "thrown clear" of a serious accident is very dangerous because you ________.‎ A. may be knocked down by other cars.‎ B. may get serious hurt thrown out of the car C. may find it impossible to get away from the seat D. may get caught in the car door ‎34. Some people prefer to drive without wearing a safety belt because they believe _______.‎ A. the belt prevents them from escaping in an accident B. they will be unable to think clearly in an accident C. they will be caught when help comes D. cars catch fire easily ‎35. What is the advice given in the test?‎ A. Never drive faster than 30 miles an hour.‎ B. Try your best to save yourself in a car accident.‎ C. Never forget to wear the safety belt while driving.‎ D. Drive slowly while you're not wearing a safety belt.‎ 七选五（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。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Lots of people find it hard to get up in the morning, and put the blame on the alarm clock. In fact, the key to easy morning wake-up lies in resting your body clock. 36 Here’s how to make one.‎ ‎● 37 In order to make a change, you need to decide why it’s important. Do you want to get up in time to have breakfast with your family, get in some exercise, or just be better prepared for your day? Once you are clear about your reasons, tell your family or roommates about the change you want to make.‎ ‎● Rethink mornings. Now that you know why you want to wake up, consider re-arranging your morning activities. If you want time to have breakfast with your family, save some time the night before by setting out clothes, shoes, and bags. 38 That’s a quarter-hour more you could be sleeping if you bought a coffee maker with a timer.‎ ‎● Keep your sleep/wake schedule on weekends. If you’re tired out by Friday night, sleeping in on Saturday could sound wonderful. But compensating on the weekends actually feeds into your sleepiness the following week, a recent study found. 39 ‎ ‎● Keep a record and evaluate it weekly.

We know you’‎ re afraid that we may be exposed to unhealthy websites. Actually every coin has two sides. We still think that surfing the Internet can bring us much more advantages. First of all, I think it would be better if we can surf the Internet, because there is a wide range of learning resources on the Internet. We should make good use of it. Furthermore, we can broaden our horizons by reading various news online. Last but not least, as high school students, we are building up our sense of judgment. Given chances, we are sure that we will learn how to stay away from unhealthy websites. I do hope you can take my suggestion into consideration and make a final decision. Looking forward to your reply.                                                      Yours,                                                         Li Ming
