When the eggs are ready to hatch, the young crocodiles call out to their mother， who digs them out and helps them hatch．She then carries them in her mouth down to the water，where she will guard them for several more weeks or ‎ months until they learn to hunt on their own．‎ Bats Bats become moms by hanging head up in a cave， giving birth． Catching the youngster before it can fall to the ground below，she puts it in a pouch （育儿袋）．Bat moms may carry babies with them when feeding for the first few days．As the little bats get bigger and heavier， moms help them hang on the wall of their caves and return often to feed them．It continues for about three weeks， until the babies are grown up and able to fly on their own．‎ Koalas（考拉）‎ The animal mom gives birth after a pregnancy （怀孕期） of only 35 days． The hairless baby climbs into its mother's pouch and lives there for another five months． When the little koala is between five and eight months old， it leaves the pouch for short periods of time but returns for safety． Once it is too big to return to the pouch， it will climb onto its mother's back and ride there until it is about 12 months old．‎ ‎21.

The little koala leaves the pouch at age between four and seven months old．‎ D. The animal mom needs to be pregnant for over two months before the baby's birth．‎ ‎ B I am glad that I learned the value of work when I was a little boy. I grew up on a farm in New York. We had to care for the animals day and night, seven days a week. There was work to do even during school vacations and on weekends.‎ I was paid for my work. From the age of 10, I was paid $ 1 an hour. Because of this, I learned how to save and manage money at an early age. When I was only 11, I saved enough to buy a ten-speed bicycle. In high school, I took a job in a nearby town during the summer to save money for college.‎ I also learned the satisfaction of work well done. Looking after the young animals was my responsibility. Most farmers’ calves (小牛）often got sick. I was proud that mine were usually healthy. I loved it when the whole family worked together to get a field of dry grass into the barn (仓房) before a rainstorm. It was exciting when we jumped out of bed at midnight to chase (追赶) the cows back after they’d escaped through a broken fence.‎ Doing hard work at an early age taught me how rewarding it can be. These experiences taught me the value of hard work.‎ ‎24. What was the author’s responsibility when he was a little boy?‎ A. Working in a factory. B. Looking after animals.‎ C. Selling bicycles. D. Planting crops.‎ ‎25. Why did the author take a job in high school?‎ A. To visit a nearby town. B. To buy a new bicycle.‎ C. To save money for college. D. To spend his summer holiday.‎ ‎26.

Chasing cows back was a hard job.‎ ‎27. What did the author learn by doing hard work at an early age?‎ A. The satisfaction of buying a bicycle.‎ B. The importance of going to college.‎ C. The love of family members.‎ D. The value of hard work.‎ C If English means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. Haven’t you noticed that you have become smarter since you started to learn a ‎ language? According to a new study by a British university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. Researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. This is the area of the brain which processes information. It is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles. The study also found the effect is greater when the younger people learn a second language. A team led by Dr. Andrea Mechelli, from University College London, took a group of Britons who only spoke English. They were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners. Scans showed that grey matter density (密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. But the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference. “Our findings suggest that the structure of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. It means that the change itself increases the ability to learn. Professor Dylan Vaughan Jones of the University of Wales, has researched the link between bilingualism and maths skills. “Having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible (灵活的),” he said. “You are actually going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.” The findings were matched in a study of native Italian speakers who had learned English as a second language between the ages of two and thirty-four. Reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. The results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “Studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.‎ 28. The main subject talked about in this passage is ________. A. science on learning a second language B. man’s ability of learning a second language C. that language can help brain power D. language learning and maths study ‎29. In the second paragraph, the writer mentions “exercise” in order to ______.‎ A．say language is also a kind of physical labor B．prove that one needs more practice when he (she) is learning a language[来源:学#科#网]‎ C. to show the importance of using the language when you learn the language D．make people believe language learning helps grey matter work well 30. The underlined word “bilingual” probably means _______. A. a researcher on language learning B. a second language learner C. a person who can speak two languages D. an active language learner ‎31. In the last two paragraphs, the author wants to tell us that _________. A. learning a second language is the same as studying maths B. early learning of a second language helps you a great deal in studying other subjects C. Italian is the best choice for you as a second language D. you’d better choose the ages between 2 and 34 to learn a second language ‎ D If you do not use your arms or your legs for some time, they will become weak, and when you start using them again, they slowly become strong again. Everybody knows that. Yet many people do not seem to know that memory works in the same way.‎ When someone says that he has a good memory, he really means that he keeps his memory in practice by using it. When someone else says that his memory is poor, he really means that he does not give it enough chance to become strong.‎ If a friend says that his arms and legs are weak, we know that it is his own fault. But if he tells us that he has a poor memory, many of us think that his parents may be blamed, and few of us know that it is just his own fault . Have you ever found that some people can’t read or write but usually they have better memories? This is because they cannot read or write and when they have to remember things, they cannot write them down in a small notebook. As a result, they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is being exercised the whole time.‎ So if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering things in a way as other people do.‎ ‎32．Someone can’t have a good memory if ________.‎ A．he can’t read or write B．his parents haven’t a good memory C．he doesn’t use his arms or legs for some time D．he doesn’t make good use of his memory ‎33．If you do not use your arms or legs for some time, ________.‎ A．they will become thin B．they will become weak C．they begin to ache all over D．you can’t use them any more ‎34．Few people know that if someone has a poor memory it is ________.‎ A．his own fault B．his parents’ fault C．his teachers’ fault D．his friends’ fault ‎35．Give the best title for this passage. ____.‎ A．Don't Stop Using your Arms or Legs B．Learn from the People C．How to Have a Good Memory D．Strong Arms and Good Memories 第二节（共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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。‎ Are you simply moving through your day without fully living? I think many of us have done this. Everyone wants to fully live every day. 36 So I’ve decided to share with you some ways to help you enjoy every moment.‎ Sit in the morning. When you wake up, in the quiet of the morning, sit on the floor. I often use this opportunity to stretch (伸展). 37 I also just sit, and focus on my breathing going in and out.‎ ‎38 I like to take breaks from work, and go outside for a slow walk. Pay attention to your breathing, to everything around you, to the sounds and light of objects.‎ Read in silence. Find a quiet time, and a quiet place, and read a good novel. Have no television or computers on nearby. And just put yourself in the world of the novel. It might seem difficult to let your mind move from the present into the time of the novel, but it’s a great practice in focus. 39 ‎ ‎40 Each day, find someone you care about and be grateful for his existence. If you want, you can tell that person how thankful you are to him.‎ A．Walk slowly.‎ B．Work with focus.‎ C．Look at someone in a grateful way.‎ D．But this is easier said than done.‎ E. I feel every muscle in my body.‎ F. It’s a way of building something good into your life.‎ G. Also, I love a good novel more than almost anything else.‎ 第三部分 完形填空（共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）‎ Scott had always been creative. As he finished university, he decided to become an inventor.

But little did I know that this trip was going to be a special one．‎ A pot of flowers sat in the back seat, whose heavenly scent（浓郁的香气） filled the car．Suddenly, in the middle of nowhere, my mom pulled over．“What are you doing?”I cried, fearing that the car had broken down and we’d be stuck there, so far from home. But that wasn’t the case. My mom hopped out of the car, grabbing the flowers from the back seat．“It’ll just be a minute，” she called back through the open windows．‎ My eyes impatiently skimmed the edge of the road before settling on a little sign showing that it was a nursing home. I looked back to the building, somewhat annoyed, as my mom reappeared—empty-handed．‎ Before she started the car, curiosity drove me to ask， “Do you know someone there?”She shook her head．“Then what did you do with the flowers?”She smiled slightly，“I gave them to the receptionist(前台接待员).”“What?”She laughed at my confusion．“I told the receptionist to give the flowers to whoever needed them, especially who hasn’t gotten any in a while．”‎ I kept silent for a moment. Not long after we continued our driving, I spoke again，“Did you leave your name?”To this she answered instantly，“No. Leaving flowers there for someone who will appreciate them makes me feel good, which is enough of a thank for me. ” ‎ Suddenly,still thinking about Mom’s deeds, I heard something burst loudly.

I'm delighted to know you're coming to China to learn Chinese ‎ paintings, hoping to take a short course in my city．‎ ‎ An art school, which is located in the center of the city, is the best choice for you. As I've ‎ learned, you'll finish studying Chinese ink landscape painting in six weeks. What's more, you can both eat and live in the school while studying here. Therefore, you needn't worry about your accommodation. In addition, the school charges a relatively modest fee.‎ If you have any other questions, please write to me as soon as possible.‎ ‎ Yours,‎ ‎ Li Hua 续写 Paragraph 1：‎ We were worrying about what could be done. But after waiting in vain for a considerable time, Mom and I decided to walk back the road to the nursing home and seek help. God knows how far we had driven! When we arrived, the receptionist was surprised, but warmly helped us contact the garage. There, the old men who had received the flowers were excited to meet us, talking about how great that day was. It amazed us what random actions of kindness could mean to the people who received it. While we were laughing and talking merrily, the garage got our car repaired. ‎ ‎ Paragraph2：‎ As we drove along, a flower shop came into sight on the road. I paced quickly into the flower shop, where a bunch of flowers glowing red in full bloom caught my eye. Having witnessed the ‎ effect of kindness, I decided to send Mom the sweet flowers. Soon, the heavenly scent filled the car again. Mom tried to conceal her excitement, but the glittering tears failed her. Through this trip, I discovered that, despite my occasional anger towards her, I actually felt proud of her. This was the trip of my life.‎
