Mum pointed at a big chair by the door and I knew she wanted me to sit down. While I watched mouth open is surprise, Mum took off her hat and coat and gave them to me to hold. She walked quietly to the small room by the lift and took out a wet mop. She pushed the mop past the desk and as the nurse looked up, Mum nodded and said, "Very dirty floors. "‎ ‎　　"Yes, I'm glad they've finally decided to clean them, "the nurse answered. She looked at Mum strangely and said, "But aren't you working late?"‎ ‎　　Mum just pushed harder, each swipe(拖一下)of the mop taking her farther and farther down the hall. I watched until she was out of sight and the nurse had turned back to writing in the big book. ‎ ‎　　After a long time Mum came back. Her eyes were shining. She quickly put the mop back and took my hand. As we turned to go out of the door, Mum bowed politely to the nurse and said, "Thank you." ‎ ‎　　Outside, Mum told me, "Dagmar is fine. No fever. "‎ ‎　　"You saw her, Mum?"‎ ‎　　"Of course. I told her about the hospital rules, and she will not expect us until tomorrow. Dad will stop worrying as well. It's a fine hospital. But such floors!

In four days it destroyed more than three-quarters of the old city, where most of the houses were wooden and close together. One hundred thousand people became homeless, but only a few lost their lives.‎ ‎　　The fire started on Sunday morning in the house of the King's baker(面包师)in Pudding Lane. The baker, with his wife and family, was able to get out through a window in the roof. A strong wind blew the fire from the bakery(面包房)into a small hotel next door. Then it spread quickly into Thames Street. That was the beginning.‎ ‎　　By eight o'clock three hundred houses were on fire. On Monday nearly a kilometer of the city was burning along the River Thames. Tuesday was the worst day. The fire destroyed many well-known buildings, old St Paul's and the Guildhall among them.‎ ‎　　Samuel Pepys, the famous writer, wrote about the fire. People threw their things into the river. Many poor people stayed in their houses until the last moment. Birds fell out of the air because of the heat.‎ ‎　　The fire stopped only when the King finally ordered people to destroy hundreds of buildings in the path of the fire. With nothing left to burn, the fire became weak and finally died out.‎ ‎　　After the fire, Christopher Wren, the architect(建筑师), wanted a city with wider streets and ‎ fine new houses of stone. In fact, the streets are still narrow; but he did build more than fifty churches, among them new St Paul's.‎ ‎　　The fire caused great pain and loss, but after it London was a better place: a city for the future and not just of the past.‎ ‎48.The fire began in __________‎ ‎　 A. a hotel　 B. the palace C. Pudding Lane　　　　　D. Thames Street ‎49.It seems that the writer of the text was most sorry for the fact that____________.‎ ‎　 A. some people lost their lives ‎　 B. the birds in the sky were killed by the fire ‎　 C. many famous buildings were destroyed ‎　 D. the King's bakery was burned down ‎50.Why did the writer cite(引用) Samuel Pepys?‎ ‎　 A. Because Pepys was among those putting out the fire.‎ ‎　 B. Because Pepys also wrote about the fire.‎ ‎　 C. To show that poor people suffered most.‎ ‎　 D. To give the reader a clearer picture of the fire.‎ ‎51.Which of the following were reasons for the rapid spread of the big fire?‎ ‎　 (a)There was a strong wind.‎ ‎　 (b)The streets were very narrow.‎ ‎　 (c)Many houses were made of wood.‎ ‎　 (d)There was not enough water in the city.‎ ‎　 (e)People did not discover the fire earlier.‎ ‎　 A.(a)and(b) B.(a),(b)and(c)‎ ‎　 C.(a),(b),(c)and(d) D.(a),(b),(c)(d)and(e)‎ D Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t love others until you love yourself. Sometimes you’ll hear people say that you can’t expect someone else to love you until you love yourself. Either way, you’ve got to love yourself first and this can be tricky. Sure we all know that we’re the apple of our parents’ eyes, and that our Grandmas think we’re great talents and our Uncle Roberts think that we will go to the Olympics. but sometimes it’s a lot harder to think such nice thoughts about ‎ ourselves. If you find that believing in yourself is a challenge. it is time you build a positive self-image and learn to love yourself.‎ Self-image is your own mind’s picture of yourself. This image includes the way you look, the way you act, the way you talk and the way you think. Interestingly, our self-images are often quite different from the images others hold about us. Unfortunately, most of these images are more negative than they should be. Thus changing the way you think about yourself is the key to changing your self-image and your whole world.‎ The best way to defeat a passive self-image is to step back and decide to stress your successes. That is, make a list if you need to, but write down all of the great things you do every day. Don’t allow doubts to occur in it. ‎ It very well might be that you are experiencing a negative self-image because you can’t move past one flaw or weakness that you see about yourself. Well, roll up your sleeves and make a change of it as your primary task. If you think you’re silly because you aren’t good at math, find a tutor. If you think you’re weak because you can’t run a mile, get to the track and practice. If you think you’re dull because you don’t wear the latest trends, buy a few new clothes. But remember, just because you think it doesn’t mean it’s true. ‎ The best way to get rid of a negative self-image is to realize that your image is far from objective, and to actively convince yourself of your positive qualities. Changing the way you think and working on those you need to improve will go a long way towards promoting a positive self-image. When you can pat(拍) yourself on the back, you’ll know you’re well on your way. Good luck!‎ ‎52. You need to build a positive self-image when you _________.‎ A. dare to challenge yourself B. feel it hard to change yourself C. are unconfident about yourself D. have a high opinion of yourself ‎53. According to the passage, our self-images _________.‎ A. have positive effects B. are probably untrue C. are often changeable D. have different functions ‎54. How should you change your self-image according to the passage?‎ A. To keep a different image of others. B. To make your life successful.‎ C. To understand your own world. D. To change the way you think.‎ ‎55. Who are the intended readers of the passage?‎ A. Parents.‎ B. Adolescents.‎ C. Educators.‎ D. People in general.‎ 第二节 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．‎ ‎ Kids' health: Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time．56 Some ways of dealing with stress - like screaming or hitting someone - don't solve much．But other ways, like talking to someone you trust, can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better．‎ ‎ Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed:‎ ‎ （1）Get support．When you need help, reach out to the people who care about you．Talk to a trusted adult, such as a parent or other relatives．57 They might have had similar problems, such as dealing with a test, or the death of a beloved pet．‎ ‎ （2）Don't take it out on yourself．Sometimes when kids are stressed and upset they take it out on themselves．Oh, dear, that's not a good idea．Remember that there are always people to help you．Don't take it out on yourself．58‎ ‎ （3）Try to solve the problem．After you're calm and you have support from adults and friends, it's time to get down to business．59 Even if you can't solve it all, you can solve a piece of it．‎ ‎ （4）Be positive．Most stress is temporary（暂时的）．Remember stress does go away, especially when you figure out the problem and start working on solving it．‎ ‎ These steps aren't magic, but they do work．And if you can stay positive as you make your way through a tough time, you'll help yourself feel better even faster．60‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ A．Ask for a helping hand to get you through the tough situation．‎ ‎ B．Notice your friends' feelings and find a way to help them．‎ ‎ C．Different people feel stress in different ways．‎ ‎ D．Ah, it feels so good when the stress is gone．‎ ‎ E．You need to figure out what the problem is．‎ ‎ F．And don't forget about your friends．‎ ‎ G．Then, find a way to calm down．‎ IV. 语法填空 （共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）‎ 阅读下面材料，在空白处填人适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。‎ A pupil’s diary describing how his mother ___61___was addicted to her cell phone ignored his efforts to express his gratitude for her on International Women’s Day has become a hit.‎ The third-grade primary school boy wrote the diary on March 8, a day when China holds various ___62___ (activity) to promote respect and love of women.

I am really delighted to know that you are going to give us a lecture on Body Language.‎ As far as I know, Body language plays an important part in people’s communication. Even when we don’t speak the same language, we can still make ourselves understood by gestures and body movements. Many gestures and body movements, such as smile and shaking hands, are universal, which are accepted by people from most places around the world.‎ However，because of different cultures, there are also lots of differences in body language. We are really interested in how to communicate with people, especially Americans, through body language in order to avoid misunderstandings. Could you lay emphasis on this topic and we hope you can give us some vivid examples.‎ Looking forward to listening to your lecture.‎ Yours,‎ Li Ming
