Our price promise also applies for up to seven days after you make your purchase with us; just bring your receipt to claim your refund.‎ ‎21.

D. $155.‎ ‎ ‎ B Many people often lose their friends and they don't know how to keep a long friendship. So how can you keep a long friendship? The following passage explains very well about this matter.‎ The first thing you need to do is to become a good listener. In this way, you show your friends that you are interested in their lives. You want to know more about them and you want to help them solve their problems. They will cherish the friendship more if they know you care about them.‎ The next thing is that you should respect other people's privacy (隐私)．People usually don't like others to know about their private life, so you should show respect toward their privacy. Sometimes, they need some suggestions from others, but this does not mean that others can know about their entire life. So respect for privacy is a must for keeping a long friendship.‎ The third important thing is that you need to be able to forgive. You must remember that nobody is perfect in this world. It is important to forgive others and not to blame them for the mistakes they have already made. You are not perfect either. Thus you need to apologize to others for the mistakes you may have made.‎ Pay attention to the three things above, and you will be able to have long friendships.‎ ‎24. This passage is written to tell us________.‎ A. why a long friendship is important B. what we can do for our friends C. how to make friends with others D. how to keep a long friendship ‎25. According to the passage, what is the first thing that we need to do?‎ A. To know more about our friends. B. To share our happiness and sadness.‎ C. To be good at listening to our friends. D. To help our friends solve their problems.‎ ‎26. From Paragraph 3 we know that________.‎ A. we should never share our private lives with others ‎ B. some people never care about their privacy C. it is important to respect other people's privacy ‎ D. some people like sharing their privacy ‎27. The writer most probably thinks that________.‎ A. everyone makes mistakes B. some people are perfect C. people often make stupid mistakes D. we shouldn't apologize for every mistake ‎ ‎ C Many people believe that language belongs to human beings. However, cats have developed a language not for each other, but for the human beings who have them as pets.‎ When communicating with each other, cats “talk” with a system of signals. Their tails, rather than any kind of “speech”, act as an important way to express themselves. They also touch each other to express their feelings. With other cats, they will use their voices only to express pain.‎ Unbelievable, all of that changes when a human walks into the room. Cats use many different kinds of vocal (声音的) expressions when they communicate with a person. Since these vocal expressions are not used to communicate with other cats, it seems that cats developed this “language” to communicate with their human owners. ‎ This fact is shown more clearly when watching rooms that have only one cat and those with several cats. An only cat is usually very vocal, since the only creature(动物) around with whom the cat can communicate is its owner. Cats with other cats, though, are much quieter. If they want to have a conversation, they only need go to other cats and communicate in their natural way.‎ Since cats learned to meow (喵喵叫) for the only purpose of communicating with human beings, owners should take the time to learn what their different meows mean. If an owner knows, to name just a few examples, which meow means the cat is hungry, which means the cat wants to be petted, and which means the cat wants to have a little “conversation”, the relationship between cat and owner will be closer.‎ ‎28. If a cat among other cats finds part of its body hurts, it may express its pain with its ____.‎ ‎ A. tail B. voice C. eyes D. head ‎29. When a human enters a room full of cats, they ____.‎ ‎ A. stop making any noise B. use their tails to show love ‎ C. begin to use vocal expressions D. stop communicating with each other.‎ ‎30. What are cat owners advised to do?‎ ‎ A. Communicate more with cats. B. Learn to meow in different ways.‎ ‎ C. Encourage cats to talk with each other. D. Teach cats to understand human language. ‎ ‎31. What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎ A. Communication among cats. B. Pets’ different expressions.‎ ‎ C. Advice on keeping pets. D. The language of cats.‎ ‎ ‎ D Look around the walls of your classroom. Do you see pictures or paintings? Most of the art on show was probably created by yourself and your classmates, using imagination and your own hands.‎ Each year in Toronto thousands of school children make the best use of their imaginations and their creative abilities in workshops provided by an organization called the Inner City Angels. These children work directly with professional artists on different art programs.‎ Natalie McHaffie is one of the many professional artists who work with the Inner City Angels. “My purpose is to teach the children about design,” she says, “Once they learn how to put things together, they can use that knowledge for other things they may want to do, such as making a kite or designing a house.”‎ Recently Ms. McHaffie worked with 16 children at St. Bernard School to create a wall painting in the hallway leading to the kindergarten classroom. Together they designed and did the wall painting during one school week.‎ When Ms. McHaffie first met the student artists, she told them, “We must do a painting that will not only please the kindergarten kids but will also offer them information.”‎ Each of the 16 students was asked to imagine and draw ideas for the painting. After discussing the different ideas together, they chose the theme “The Four Seasons.”‎ Finishing the painting, four of the student artists had something to say about their experience.‎ Alfea: “You learn more when you do it yourself. As you go along you keep finding out things you didn’t know before.”‎ Mauro: “I like working in a group because you get more done than if you work alone.”‎ Paolo: “It’s been fun working in a group, not the same kind of exciting fun as when you’re playing basketball. When you do art, it makes you feel peaceful.”‎ Paulina: “You can learn from working with the other kids. By talking to each other you can find ways to do things.”‎ ‎32. Each year, thousands of school children in Toronto ____.‎ ‎ A. join the Inner City Angels B. take part in the city's art programs ‎ C. take art classes in different workshops D. create paintings on the walls of their classrooms ‎33. Ms. McHaffie hopes the children ____.‎ ‎ A. will understand the importance of design ‎ B. can design a house of their own some day ‎ C. will start learning easy things such as making a kite ‎ D. can spread knowledge of how to put things together ‎34. What was the task of the sixteen students?‎ ‎ A. Collecting paintings at St. Bernard School. B. Playing with the kindergarten kids.‎ ‎ C. Designing a classroom. D. Painting on the wall.‎ ‎35. We can infer from the text that all the four student artists ____.‎ ‎ A. enjoyed the peace of their work B. learned quite a lot from their work ‎ C. said something good about each other D. realized the advantages of group work 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 get your dream job Interviews are never easy, but you can improve your chances of getting the job of your dreams by following our advice.‎ Smell nice ‎ Experts warn against arriving for an interview the moment after smoking or drinking any alcohol as it gives a bad impression. --36--‎ Sound impressive The tone of your voice says a lot about you.
