She knew her mother wouldn’t tolerate any disrespect to the kind man who helped them out after Vicki’s father passed away; besides, Vicki didn’t want Uncle ‎ Tom to get angry. But little Vicky didn’t want to just hold it and guess what was in it. After all, she looked forward to his coming to show her interesting things, like how to turn an old sock into a doll. ‎ All the day, Vicki couldn’t stop thinking about the gift while her teacher was giving a lecture. Vicki sat still in her seat, drawing paper dolls inside the box. When school was done, she raced home. Walking into the room, again, she shook the present, but she heard nothing. Holding her breath, she opened the box and looked inside. Seconds later, she cried. When Mrs. Black saw the box, she said angrily, “Didn’t I tell you to leave it alone?” Vicki sobbed and said, “Mommy, you don’t understand.”‎ ‎“Don’t cry to me. You have missed everything now, just because you couldn’t wait,” Mrs. Black accused. “What will Uncle Tom think now?”‎ ‎“Uncle Tom gave me nothing,” Vicki cried and handed the empty box to her mother. “He played a trick on me.”‎ Mrs. Black said doubtfully, “Uncle Tom is not like that. You must have dropped it.”‎ Vicki kept crying. Only a rapid knock on the door made the house quiet. It was Uncle Tom. He looked at the empty box. “You have already done it? I told you to wait for your birthday.”‎ ‎“You didn’t give me a gift.” Fresh tears filled her eyes.‎ ‎“I try to give you something. I know your birthday is a special day. I tell myself to give you something valuable to last your whole life. I think hard and get the idea to give you an important lesson. If you open it on birthday, I see you learn.

More than 1800 hundred million vehicles have used the bridge since it opened more than 70 years ago.‎ ‎   The bridge was painted “International Orange” because that color went well with the natural surroundings. The color also is easier to see in the heavy fog that often covers the area. But the Golden Gate‎ ‎Bridge was not named for its orange color. It was named for the body of water that it crosses, the Golden Gate Strait, which is the entrance to the San Francisco Bay from the ‎Pacific Ocean ‎     Planning for the bridge began in the 1920s when the area around San Francisco was growing. People living in the area needed another way to get to the city besides small ferries. Joseph Strauss was the chief engineer for the project. Work began in 1934.Mr.Strauss demanded the strongest safety protections in the history of bridge building. These included the first use of “hard hats” to protect the workers' heads and special glasses to protect their eyes. A special safety net was suspended under the bridge. This net saved the lives of 19 men during the construction.‎ ‎   The Golden Gate‎ ‎Bridge opened in 1937.It extends 1280 meters across the water. The total length is 2737 meters. It was the largest suspension bridge(吊桥)in the world until 1964.That is when the Verrazano Narrows Bridge opened in New York City. Today, the Golden Gate‎ ‎Bridge is the ninth longest suspension bridge in the world.‎ ‎28. What was the Golden Gate‎ ‎Bridge named after?‎ ‎   A. The Strait it crosses        B.

He demanded strong measures to ensure the safety of the bridge.‎ D A new concept vehicle, Pod was introduced by Toyota and Sony at the Tokyo motor show. The car is intended as a four-wheeled friend. It aims to provide affection, sympathy and encouragement. Like a dog welcoming its master, the car sits up, wags its tail and acknowledges its owner’s presence using hydraulics(液压装置) and a multi-colored LED display panel(引擎) across the front.‎ While on the road, the car constantly monitors the driver’s mood with pulse and sweat sensors on the joystick(操纵杆). Cameras focused on the eyes keep watch for any sigh of drowsiness. If a driver appears to be losing his or her cool, Pod will display warnings, play soft music and blow cold air at the face. Drivers are shaken awake with loud music and a shaking chair.‎ To improve driving skills, pod compares acceleration, braking and steering with the best performance recorded by professionals. It uses this comparison to score drivers, offer advice and rank all Pod owners. Toyota claims that the car will eventually be able to learn its owner’s likes and dislikes by monitoring passenger conversations. If the car hears a favorite song being discussed, it will download the track from the Internet and play it without being asked. It will also recommend restaurants that might suit the driver’s taste and take photographs of passengers when they sound particularly happy.‎ In keep with the moodiness that is the car’s main selling point, Pod expresses a form of road anger. If a driver brakes or swerves(转向) suddenly, the LED panel shows an angry red and the tail rises at the back.‎ Anger is one of the car’s ten “emotional states”. Another is sadness --- a blue front with tear-shaped lights seemingly dropping from headlights --- which appears after a flat tire or when gas is low.‎ ‎“We wanted to show that the cars can be cheerful and entertaining,” said Yasunori Sakamoto, part of the Toyota design team. Mr Sakamoto said Toyota has no plans to put Pod on the market. Sad, really.‎ ‎32. The underlined word “drowsiness” in Paragraph 2 means _________.‎ A. fear             B. boredom          C. excitement         D. sleepiness ‎33. According to the text, Pod can ___________.‎ A. rank the restaurant nearby                    B. have a conversation with drivers C. have a conversation with drivers               D. recommend a song to passenger ‎ ‎34. If the new concept vehicle is running out of gas, __________.‎ A. the Led panel turns red              ‎ B. the tail rises at the back of the car C. the front light turn blue and look like tears ‎ D. the car stops and shake with loud music ‎35. What is the author’s attitude towards Pod?‎ A. Supportive.        B. Doubtful.         C. Pessimistic.        D. Tolerant.‎ 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符合各段大意的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ ‎（注：选E涂AB；选F涂AC；选G涂AD）‎ Easy Ways to Keep Your Brain Sharp Everyone is forgetful, but as we age, we start to feel like our brains are slowing down a bit—and that can be a very annoying thing.    36  Read on for some techniques worth trying.‎ ‎1.    37 ‎ People who regularly made plans and looked forward to upcoming events had a 50 percent reduced chance of Alzheimer's disease (早老性痴呆症), according to a recent study.    38  Something as simple as setting a goal to have a weekly coffee date with a friend will do. There's evidence that people who have a purpose in life or who are working on long or short-term goals appear to do better. In other words, keep your brain looking forward. ‎ ‎2. Go for a walk Mildly raised glucose (葡萄糖) levels can harm the area of the brain that helps you form memories and physical activity can help get blood glucose down to normal levels. In fact, exercise produces chemicals that are good for your brain.   39 ‎ ‎3. Learn something new Take a Spanish class online, join a drawing club, or learn to play cards. A study found that mental stimulation (刺激) limits the weakening effects of aging on memory and the mind. But the best thing for your brain is when you learn something new and are physically active at the same time.    40  Or go dancing with your friends.‎ A. Focus on the future.‎ B. This can be especially harmful to the aged.‎ C. It should be something like learning gardening.‎ D. So take a few minutes each day to do some reading.‎ E.

An old couple is sitting at the table waiting for their children to come back to celebrate the Mid-Autumn Day with them. They have prepared abundant delicious dishes and desserts for their children. But it’s a quarter past one now. They haven’t come yet. Father prepares to phone them, while mother looks at the door frequently, wishing their children’ s coming. The old couple looks disappointed though there is a grand meal in front of them.‎ ‎     What the picture reflects is the loneliness of the old in China. Nowadays, with the pace of life increasing rapidly, the young people are always busy and have less time to spend with their parents.  Some of them even don't pay a visit to their parents at some important traditional festivals, such as the Mid-Autumn Day and the Spring Festival.  As far as I am concerned, the young should stay with their parents as much as possible however busy they are. It is their duty to take care of their parents and make them feel happy. Only in this way will they show respect to their parents.‎
