These days are set aside to show love and respect for parents. They raise their children and educate them to be responsible citizens. They give love and care to their children. These two days offer an opportunity to think about the changing roles of mothers and fathers. More mothers now work outside the home. More fathers must help with childcare. ‎ These two special days are celebrated in many different ways. On Mother's Day people wear carnations. A red one symbolizes a living mother. A white one shows that the mother is dead. Many people attend religious services to honor their parents. It is also a day when people whose parents are dead visit the cemetery(墓地). On these days families get together at home, as well as in restaurants. They often have outdoor barbecues for Father's Day. These are days of fun and good feelings and memories.‎ Another tradition is to give cards and gifts. Children make them in school. Many people make their own presents. These are valued more than the ones bought in stores. It is not the value of the gift that is important, but it is “the thought that counts”. Greeting card stores, florists, candy makers, bakeries, telephone companies, and other stores do a lot of business during these holidays. ‎ ‎25. Which of the following is NOT a reason for children to show love and respect for parents? ‎ A. Parents educate children to be good persons.‎ B. Parents bring up children.‎ C. Parents give love and care to children.‎ D. Parents pass away before children grow up.‎ ‎26. Which do you think is RIGHT about “carnation”? ‎ A. It refers to the special clothes people wear on Mother’s Day or Father’s Day.‎ B. People can wear carnations only on the second Sunday in May. ‎ C. It’s a kind of flower showing love and best wishes.‎ D. It only has two kinds of colors. ‎ ‎27. On Mother’s Day and Father’s Day, _____. ‎ A. everyone goes to visit the cemetery B. children always go to their parents’ home ‎ C. people usually have family parties.‎ D. hand-made cards are the most valuable gifts ‎ ‎ C For a generation now, school reform has meant what students must be taught and carried out by standardized tests. ‎ Here's a thought experiment. Suppose that next year almost every student passed the tests. What would the reaction be from people? Would they shake their heads in respect and say, "Damn, those teachers must be good! "? ‎ Of course not. Such remarkable success would be used as evidence that the tests were too easy and it needs to raise standards. "High standards" really means "standards that all students will never be able to meet". My little thought experiment uncovers a truth that we have been taught to respond with doubt whenever all members of any group are successful. In America, success doesn't count unless it is got by only a few. ‎ Consider widespread complaints about "grade inflation (膨胀)" in higher education. Many people don't even bother to stress that grades have risen over time. They simply point to how many students get A's right now. The goal, in other words, isn't to do well but to defeat other people who are also trying to do well. Grades in testing should be used to announce who's beating whom. A school's final task, apparently, is not to help everyone learn but to prepare the game so that there will always be losers. ‎ This makes no sense in any situation. Perhaps, for example, we can defend rating states or nations based on the quality of their air, health care or schools, but ranking them is foolish. School testing ranking doesn't lead to improvements in performance but tends to hold us back from doing our best. It makes productive teamwork less likely and leads all concerned to focus not on meaningful improvements but on trying to beat everyone else. Most of all, it encourages the false belief that excellence is a zero-sum game. It would be more reasonable to rescue the spirit of the concept: Everyone may not succeed, but at least in theory all of us could.  ‎ ‎28.What did the writer's thought experiment prove?‎ A.Good teachers represent higher test scores. B.American tests are usually too easy.‎ C.Excellence is regarded as a rare thing. D.Students don't meet the test standards.‎ ‎29.What does the writer think American schools seem to do? ______ ‎ A.Promote teachers to teach better. B.Remove the belief of beating others.‎ C.Help all students do well at school. D.Ensure the existence of failures.‎ ‎30.What is the writer's attitude towards schools testing ranking?‎ A.Sympathetic. B.Ambiguous. C.Disapproving. D.Unconcerned.‎ ‎31.What is the best title for the text? ______ ‎ A.Why Can't Everyone Get A's? B.How Can Students Succeed?‎ C.What Standards Do Schools Set? D.Who Get Best Grades at School?‎ ‎ D It is easy for us to know the difference between our friends and our enemies. But can other animals do the same? Elephants can! They can use their sense of vision and smell to tell the difference between people who pose a threat(威胁) and those who do not. In Kenya, researchers find that elephants react differently to clothing worn by men of the Maasai and Kamba ethnic groups. Young Maasai men spear(刺)animals and thus pose a threat to elephants; Kamba men are mainly farmers and are not a danger to elephants. ‎ In an experiment conducted by animal scientists, elephants were first presented with clean clothing or clothing that had been worn for five days by either a Maasai or a Kamba man. When the elephants noticed the smell of clothing worn by a Maasai man, they moved away from the smell faster and took longer to relax than when they noticed the smells of either clothing worn by Kamba men or clothing that had not been worn at all.‎ Clothing color also plays a role. In the same study, when the elephants saw red clothing not worn before, they reacted angrily, as red is typically worn by Maasai men. Rather than running away as they did with the smell, the elephants acted aggressively(攻击地) toward the red clothing. ‎ The researchers believe that the elephants’ emotional(情绪的) reactions are due to their different senses of the smells and the sights. Smelling a potential danger means ‎ that a threat is nearby and the best thing to do is run away and hide. Seeing a potential threat without its smell means that risk is low. Therefore, instead of showing fear and running away, the elephants express their anger and become aggressive.‎ ‎32. The writer wrote the passage in order to tell us that elephants are _______.‎ A. clever. B. friendly. C. dangerous. D. naughty.‎ ‎33. Which of the following is the most dangerous sign for elephants?‎ A. The color of Kamba men’s clothes.‎ B. The smell of Kamba men’s clothes.‎ C. The smell of Maasai men’s clothes.‎ D. The red clothes not worn before.‎ ‎34. What can be inferred about the elephants’ behavior from this passage? ‎ A．Elephants have sharper sense of smell than sight.‎ B．Elephants learn from their experience. ‎ C．Elephants are more intelligent than other animals. ‎ D．Elephants tend to attack rather than escape when in danger. ‎ ‎35. In which magazine will the passage be found most probably?‎ A. Business Weekly B. Nature ‎ C. Fashion D. News Week 第二节（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。‎ ‎ How to listen in English exams Listening is an important but difficult part for middle school students in English exams. The following suggestions may benefit you a lot.‎ Relax yourself.‎ Before listening, it's necessary to have a peaceful state of mind. 36______If that doesn't work, drinking some water or washing your face with cold water may help you to some extent.‎ ‎37______‎ As soon as the listening starts, focus on it without thinking about anything else. While listening, you can also recall(回想)the related knowledge in common with the material concerned, such as the vocabulary about the subject or topic, which is beneficial to your better understanding.‎ Grasp the main idea.‎ Sometimes the monologue, dialogue or conversation you're listening to is a little bit longer than you expect. And it's normal that some unnecessary information is included. However, you don't need to understand it completely. 38______.‎ Ignore the new words.‎ Without doubt, there usually exist unfamiliar words in listening materials. In fact, it's almost impossible for you to know or understand all the words in the listening material sometimes. 39______It's mistaken to waste much time on figuring them out while listening.‎ Develop the habit of taking notes.‎ In the course of listening, it's a good habit to write down the content and leave out the unimportant details. 40______By taking notes, we can remind ourselves of the key points.‎ A. Concentrate on listening.‎ B. The more words you memorize, the better it is.‎ C. Feeling nervous or worried is harmful and unnecessary.‎ D. What you need to do is turn a deaf ear to the new words.‎ E. Make a list of what you think is important while listening.‎ F. Instead, just pay attention to the key points and general ideas.‎ G.

Many people express themselves, exchange ideas and deliver information by Wechat.‎ There are a number of reasons for Wechat to be known. To begin with, Wechat is a relative cheap way of communication, which cuts down a great deal of the cost of making a phone call. Furthermore, convenience also accounts for its popularity. It is available everywhere and at any time.‎ However, problems exist meanwhile. Firstly, our identity can be revealed when we use Wechat. As a result, we can be in trouble. Moreover, it may make communicating ‎ with others face to face less. To make the matter worse, relationship could break down. Last but not the least, our attention might be drawn too much to focus on study.‎ As far as I am concerned, everyone is supposed to exploit Wechat within limits. As a student, I acknowledge that Wechat is not only beneficial but also dangerous. Therefore, I insist that we shouldn't spend too much time on it.And it's of vital importance for us to protect ourselves when we use it.‎ ‎28.细节理解题.根据文章第三段的句子 "High standards" really means "standards that all students will never be able to meet".可知,作者的思维实验证明,优秀是一件难得的事情.故选C. 29.推理判断题.根据第三段的In America, success doesn't count unless it is got by only a few.可知,作者认为美国学校似乎为了证明失败的存在.故选D. 30.观点态度题.根据文章第五段的句子but ranking them is foolish. School testing ranking doesn't lead to improvements in performance but tends to hold us back from doing our best.可知,作者对于学校考试排名是不赞成的.故选C. 31.标题判断题,根据文章第四段的句子They simply point to how many students get A's right now. The goal, in other words, isn't to do well but to defeat other people who are also trying to do well. 可知,文章介绍为什么不能每个人都得到A.Why Can't Everyone Get A's?是最好的标题.故选A.‎
