I had two cats that I adored like children, but I still wanted the company of a dog. Then unfortunately I lost my cats. Soon came another shock that my husband left me forever because of lung cancer. I felt I had just lost everything that ever mattered to me.‎ I voiced these feelings to a friend, who took me to a pet store. The store was holding an adoption day with shelters. I looked at and held several puppies (小狗), wondering which to choose. Then I met Maggie. She looked at me with the saddest eyes I had ever seen, then laid her head on my shoulder and slept. I immediately decided to save her!‎ Maggie adjusted well. I, however, was still adjusting. One night, thoughts of losing everything rushed through my head again. So depressed was I that I felt the only solution was to end my life. With a bottle of medicine in one hand and Maggie on my lap, I took the pills. Through my tear-filled eyes I looked down at Maggie to tell her I was sorry. The look on her face I will never be able to explain. As if her eyes said , “Don’t leave me; I need you just as you needed me.” It was then that 1 ran to the bathroom to vomit up the pills. The rest of the night I sat on the couch holding Maggie and thanking her for saving me.‎ Since that night 1 have had a love for her that I never knew possible. She never leaves my side when I am at home. She has taught me to smile and laugh. Together with Maggie, I feel I can get through anything. 21、The author got Maggie from ____________.‎ A. a friend B. her husband C. a pet store D. an adoption center 22、The underlined phrase “vomit up” can be replaced by________________.‎ A. throw up B. take up C. pick up D. break up 23、Why did the author feel depressed?‎ A.

Even more startling, 6.2 percent of college students surveyed in 2012 considered suicide and 1.3 percent attempted it, according to an American College Health Association study released this spring. If you’re feeling depressed on campus, you may find the following tips helpful.‎ Exercise: Physical activity releases endorphins – chemicals that produce an overall positive feeling within the body, which fight depression naturally. Mental health experts claim that exercise is a solution to those feeling mild or moderate depression. However, for those severely depressed, simply doing sports is not enough.‎ Use school counseling services: Campuses don’t employ mental health experts simply to throw thousands of dollars down the drain. Their job is to help students, so experts recommend you use them. Most students, however, are hesitant to take a trip to their college’s counseling center, fearing being laughed at by peers. As a result, some schools like Texas‎ Christian ‎University, are testing students for mental health problems when they get sick and visit the campus health clinic.‎ Take advantage of technology: Staying in touch with family members and friends from childhood and high school has become easier than ever with the coming of Facebook and video chat services like Skype. While mental health experts insist that it’s important to make friends in your new environment and be involved in the college community, it’s also significant to keep in ‎ touch with the people you knew before college.[]‎ Go to sleep: Following a fairly regular sleep pattern can defend you against depression. In college, many students’ sleep patterns are irregular thanks to late-night studying and partying, which is harmful to their mental health. Research strongly suggests that sleep is the key to learning and memory formation.‎ ‎25.According to the passage, physical activity __________ .‎ A. is regarded as the best way to fight depression B. contributes to the release of endorphins C. can’t help the seriously depressed students D. improve people’s ability to learn and memorize ‎26.It can be inferred from the 3rd paragraph that __________ .‎ A. employing mental health experts on campus is a waste of money B. students with mental health problems can’t get on well with others[]‎ C. going to college’s counseling center for help requires a lot of courage D. sick students in Texas‎ Christian ‎University must take psychological tests ‎27.Taking advantage of technology is encouraged because it ____‎ A.enables students to get involved in college life B.helps students stay in contact with others C.offers students a way to make new friends D.provides a way to avoid getting bored ‎28.which of the following can NOT help one reduce depression?‎ A.Taking exercise regularly every week B.Chatting with old friends with Skype C.Turning to mental health experts for advice D.Holding parties deep into the night to relax C ‎ ‎ Towards the end of Middle English, a sudden change in pronunciation started, with vowels (元音) being pronounced shorter and shorter. From the 16th century the British had contact (接触) with many people from around the world. This meant that lots of new vocabulary entered the language. The invention of printing also meant that there was now a common language in print. Books became cheaper and more people learned to read. Spelling and grammar became fixed, and the dialect of London became the standard. In 1604 the first English dictionary came out. ‎ ‎ Early Modern English and Late Modern English are mostly different in the number of words. Late Modern English has many more words, mainly because of the following two reasons: First, ‎ the Industrial Revolution (工业革命) led to the need for new words. Second, the British Empire covered one quarter of the earth’s surface, and the English language took in foreign words from many countries. ‎ ‎ From around 1600, the English colonization (殖民地化) of North America led to American English. Some English pronunciations and words “froze” when they reached America. In some ways, American English is more like the English of Shakespeare than modern British English. Some expressions that are called “American English” are in fact from British expressions. They were kept in the colonies while lost for a time in Britain. Spanish also had an influence (影响) on American English. For example, words like canyon, ranch, stampede and vigilante are from Spanish. They entered English by the people of Spain who settled in the American West. French words and West African words also influenced American English.‎ ‎ Today, American English has a greater influence, because of the USA’s movies, television, popular music, trade and technology. ‎ ‎29. The main difference between Early and Late Modern English lies in _____.‎ A. vocabulary B. pronunciation C. spelling D. grammar ‎30. From the passage, we can learn the word “canyon” is from _____.‎ A. American dialect B. African dialect C. Spanish D. French ‎31. The third paragraph mainly talks about _____.‎ A. English colonies in ‎North America B. the development of American English C. other languages’ influence on American English D. the difference between American English and British English ‎ ‎32. The underlined word “froze” can best be replaced by _____.‎ A. remained unchanged B. disappeared C. improved D. kept active D My daddy doesn't know how to express love at all. It is my mum that makes everyone happy and calm in our family while daddy only works day and night，never looking us in the face. But mum makes a wrong doing list of us for daddy scolding us. She's a spy!    Once, I stole a candy. Daddy asked me to put it back and told the shopkeeper that I stole the candy and told her that I would like to carry loads for her. Well，mum told him I was just a ‎ child. I broke my leg on the playground. It's still mum that held me tightly in her warm arms. Daddy drove us right to emergency room. He was asked to move the car away for that vacant was for ambulance. Daddy got angry，“What do you think of it? A touring car？”  On my birthday party, it was, again, my mum that took over the cake for me. My dad? He was busy with blowing balloons and setting the table and doing the housework. While looking over our album，friends always ask，“ What does your father look？” God knows. He photos others all the time. So there are many and many photos of my mum and me，pretty and lovely photos.  And I still remembered the day when daddy taught me riding. I asked him not to let his hands away，but he did the opposite. And I certainly fell onto the ground. And bad daddy waved my lovely mum away. I got angry and decided to show him. I got on the bike and rode. But he smiled again. Mum wrote every letter to me while I was in college. He，except checks, did write a letter, but extremely short, just a few words，saying, “Without your playing on the lawn, my son，my lawn grows prettier than before.”   Every time I phoned, it seemed he wanted to talk, but he would say，“I will get your mum.”   On the day of my wedding, mum cried as if we would never meet again，while Dad went out with a nasal sound. From very young, I heard him saying, “Where have you been？”“When do you go home？”“Did you get oil for your car？”“No, I don't agree.” Dad really knows nothing about showing love. Unless... Maybe he showed while I didn't notice，is it?‎ ‎33．Why did the father get angry when he sent the writer to the hospital? A．Because he parked his car at a wrong place. B．Because the parking space of the ambulance was very crowded. C．Because the writer's injury made the father quite upset. D．Because the person paid little attention to his son's serious injury. 34．According to Paragraph 5，we know the father________.
