Family Kingdom is among a few survivors, which is famous for the Swamp Fox wooden coaster.‎ Waldameer Park As a classic amusement park that dates back to 1896, Waldameer is one of the few remaining trolley (有轨电车) parks in the US. In the late 1800s and early 1900s, electric trolley companies often built amusement parks at the end of their lines to get additional money.

I was riding through my usual shortcut (近路), when I turned the corner and saw a large brown mass of feathers(羽毛) blocking my path.‎ Before me stood a big turkey, which had an almost sunburn-pink head with a pale blue. I got off my bike and started to shout at it. It didn’t move. I walked closer to it with my arms swinging in the air like a crazy person. It didn't even move. It just sat there staring at nothing. I tried a variety of things, none of which worked. Finally as a last choice, I picked up a large stick and beat it. As soon as the tip of the branch touched its feathers, I knew I messed up. The turkey's bald head slowly turned toward me. My plan was that it would walk away and leave me alone, but I was erroneous. It ran straight at me, and out of anger pecked (喙) at my legs as fast as it could.With the large bird attacking me, I slowly made my way back to my bike and made my escape. I rode as fast as I could in the opposite direction with the mad turkey on my tail. This went on for around five minutes before the turkey gave up and moved into the woods with its eyes watching my every move.‎ That Thanksgiving, I refused to eat turkey. Since then I have never seen a turkey in my neighborhood, and hopefully it will stay that way.‎ ‎25. Where did the author meet the turkey?‎ A. Outside his house. B. On a familiar shortcut.‎ C. On his way home from school D On his way to a friends home.‎ ‎26. What directly resulted in the turkey's attack?‎ A. The author’s swinging arms at it. B. The author’s sudden approach to it.‎ C. The author’s non-stop shouting at it. D. The author’s beating it with a branch.‎ ‎27. Which can best replace the underlined word “erroneous” in Paragraph 2?‎ A. Impatient B. Unskillful. C. Mistaken. D. Disappointed.‎ C When you choke, you can't breathe properly or can't get enough air into your lungs because there is something in your throat. Choking can make the person unable to breathe, talk, or even make noise. Worse still, because the body needs oxygen to stay alive. when oxygen can t reach the lungs and the brain, a person can become unconscious, suffer from brain damage, and even die within minutes.‎ Choking is a serious thing. If you think someone is choking, shout for help and have somebody call 911 right away. If you can do it properly and safely, you can give him or her first aid. In other words, you can get behind the choking person and then give a certain kind of quick squeeze in the middle of the stomach. This squeeze sends a quick powerful burst of air from the persons lungs upward, removing the problem food or object and often sending it flying out of the person's mouth Choking is sometimes dangerous. Luckily, something can be done to prevent it. For example, be extra careful when you're eating certain foods that are easy to choke on. They include things like hot dogs, nuts, grapes, raw car-rots, popcorn, and hard candy. Check food labels to make sure that the food isn't the kind that can lead to choking. Also you can sit down, take small bites and don't talk or laugh when your mouth is filled with food!‎ In addition, look out for the little boys and girls. Babies and young children love to put things in their mouths so help keep them safe by picking up anything off the floor that might be risky to swallow-like pen caps and coins. Keep toys with small parts in some place young children can't get to, and never share your food or candy with a baby.‎ ‎28. What does Paragraph 1 mainly talk about?‎ A. Examples of choking B Signs of choking. C Harm of choking. D Causes of choking.‎ ‎29. What first aid should be given to a choking sufferer?‎ A. Pouring some water into his mouth. B Gently pressing him on the back.‎ C. Asking the people present for help. D. Trying to clear the thing of his throat.‎ ‎30. According to the passage, when we eat, we need to .‎ ‎ A. be cautious about what we are eating.‎ ‎ B. make sure the ingredients are easy to find.‎ ‎ C. Check whether the food labels are correct.‎ ‎ D. Laugh as loudly as possible when our mouth is filled with food.‎ ‎31. To keep choking from happening to kids, we should .‎ A offer them toys with small parts B. talk to them while we are feeding them C keep dangerous things out of their reach D forbid them from eating too many candies D While you may think that being smart and talented would logically make someone successful in running a business, unfortunately, this is often not the case.‎ This problem starts back in school when the stressful "group projects"are first assigned. The smartest don't want to risk their grade in the class by dividing the work equally and hoping that an average student does his part well. They just take over and do the whole project themselves.‎ And thus begins the smart-people work cycle. The smartest people do just about everything better than most everyone else until it comes to running a business. A smart person who can't stand someone else doing a job badly does everything himself. Then, he is stuck with the one-man band “job-business” and ends up not being able to grow.‎ Smart and talented people often have a gift for the unusual, complicated or different. They don't like to follow the KISS (Keep It Simple, Stupid) principle, which is required to make a business succeed. Maybe you think the global presence of McDonald's complex, but in fact, in the company, every single task is broken down into easy-to follow steps and everything has been standardized. These successful companies have just a few smart enough people to run the majority of the tasks in a way that can't be ruined by their average employees.‎ Another issue with the smart people starting businesses is that they often have the most to lose. The smarter you are, the more choices you have available to you. You will be able to make a lot of money in various fields and have the room in your career to become promoted. This means that when you start a business, you have a lot more to risk than those who are not equally smart. This is often referred to as the “golden handcuffs” dilemma So, don't be surprised when the person “MOST Likely to Succeed” from high school ends up as an employee and it is one average student that finds success in his or her own business.‎ ‎32. In group work, smart students often take over the whole project because they believe .‎ A. the work is not divided equally ‎ B. they can perform better than others C. the group projects are too stressful ‎ D. average students are unwilling to take part ‎33. McDonald's is used as an example to prove that .‎ A. a business calls for smart people's talent B. average employees can perform complex tasks C. smart people are important for a successful business D. simplified tasks are required for the success of a business ‎34. The underlined expression in Paragraph 5 refers to the situation where smart ‎ people .‎ A. have fewer choices in a company B. risk more when starting business C. are unwilling to put money to a business D. have a good income in many different fields ‎35. What is the best title for the text?‎ A. Potentials for success B. Bases for business C. The ordinary achieve bigger success? D. Talent means successful business?‎ 第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） ‎ Goodwill stores offer a lot of discounts for your tight budget. 36 They have a wide selection of clothing, household items, shoes, books and so on. How do you make the best of shopping at Goodwill?‎ List your needs. You should have everything written down before you leave the house.

I just heard the good news!‎ M：Thanks, Mrs Jones. And thanks so much for helping me out. I don’t think I could have gotten such high scores without your help.‎ W：You deserved to pass, Jack. You worked very hard this year.‎ Text 4‎ M：Mary’s hardly the friendliest person in the world, is she?‎ W：That’s true and I get the feeling she’ hiding something. She seems to say what you want her to rather than what she really thinks.‎ Text 5‎ W：See you tomorrow.‎ M：No, tomorrow’s Saturday.‎ W：Oh, yes, sorry. I’ll see you on Monday.‎ Text 6‎ M：Hey, Mary, let’s go to the beach this afternoon. The weather’s perfect.‎ W：I really can’t. I’ve got to study for a test tomorrow. I’ve been putting it off all week, and I just can’t make any more excuses.‎ M：Come on. It’s too hot right now. You can do it when we get back.‎ W：Well. okay, but just for a few hours. I want to be back by 6：00 at the latest.‎ Text 7‎ W：Hey, Aaron, wait up!‎ M：Oh hi Jessica! What’s up?‎ W：Well. I just want to ask you a really big favor. I stayed home sick yesterday and Sarah told me that there’s going to be a big quiz in history this afternoon. Could I borrow your noted over lunch to study?‎ M：Um, doesn’t Sarah have notes you could borrow? Because I was actually planning to go over them myself. Or maybe we can meet up and do it together?‎ W：That’d be great, Aaron. Thanks. See you in the cafeteria!‎ Text 8‎ M：Oh, you’re closing already? I thought you were open until 9?‎ W：I’m sorry, sir, but our hours have changed. Didn’t you get the new schedule of our gym in the mail?‎ M：I guess I did, but I thought it was just advertisement of the gym so I didn’t pay attention. So, what are the new hours?‎ W：We’ll he closing earlier on Sundays, like today. We close at 7:00 p.m. instead of at 9:00 p.m.‎ M：Oh.

I’ll include the benefits of exercise, how diet affects our health and the importance of having regular checkups.‎ Exercising burns calories and so helps us to lose weight. It also strengthens our muscles and keeps our bodies in good condition. You don’t have to go to a gym to exercise. Cycling and swimming are two of the best forms of exercise and they are fun too. Even gentle exercise, like walking, can make a difference and will make you look and feel better. Exercise can help you to stay active throughout your life.‎ What you eat is also very important. To stay healthy you should try to eat a balanced diet that includes a lot of fresh fruit and vegetables. Processed foods often contain large amounts of salt and sugar which is not good for us and junk food, such as hamburgers and hot sometimes contain a lot of fat and very few nutrients. Eating the wrong kinds of food or simply eating too much food will make you put on weight. Being overweight can lead to many serious health problems, for example, heart disease. Of course, it’s very important to have regular checkups with your doctor and your dentist. A few quick tests can show up any health problems that you may have. These ‎ can then be treated immediately, before they get worse.‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎
