One day his wife was ill and he had no money. He had to sell some cabbages（甘蓝菜） and carrots（胡萝卜） in the market. The ‎ next morning he took two baskets of vegetables to town. But it was raining hard that afternoon and there were few people in the street. When his vegetables were sold out, it was dark. He bought some medicine and hurried to his village.‎ On his way home he saw a person lying on the snow. He placed his baskets on the ground and was going to help the person to get up. At that time he found it was a dead man and there was much blood on his body. He was so afraid that he ran away quickly, without taking the baskets with him.‎ The next afternoon the farmer was sent to the police station. Having shown the baskets, an officer asked: “Are these yours?” “Yes, sir.” the farmer answered timidly（胆怯地）. ”Have you killed the man?” “No, no, sir.” the farmer said in a hurry.” When did you see the dead man?” ”About seven last evening.” “Did you see who killed the man?” “No, Sir.” The officer brought out a knife and asked, “Have you seen it yet?” ”No, Sir.’ The officer became angry and told the policemen to beat him up （殴打他）and send him into prison.‎ That evening the officer went on trying(审判) .Pointing to the knife, he asked again,” Have you seen it yet?” ”Yes, Sir.” The officer was happy and asked,” When and where?” “I saw it here this afternoon, sir.”‎ ‎4.The farmer decided to sell the vegetables to_____.‎ A.buy some food for his family B.buy some medicine for his wife C.go to see a doctor D.go to the cinema ‎5.The farmer didn’t sell out his vegetables until the evening because_____.‎ A.they were too bad ‎ B.they were very expensive C.it rained hard that morning ‎ D.few people liked to go out on such a bad day ‎6.The farmer ran away quickly because_____.‎ A.the policemen were coming towards him. ‎ B.his wife was waiting for him at home C.he was afraid to see a dead man. ‎ D.it was so late that he couldn’t stay there any longer.‎ ‎7.The officer tried the farmer to_____.‎ A.know who had killed the man. ‎ B.know if he had seen the dead man C.ask when he saw the dead man ‎ D. .ask if he had seen the knife C I suffered from mental（心理的） illness and depression（抑郁） when I was younger, and it totally affected my teenage years. But after a long struggle, I found a hobby that changed my life.‎ My depression really kicked in（开始） after my parents moved to the UK when I was about 11 years old. Having to get used to life in a foreign country was very difficult. The friends I knew were gone, and the changes in my environment led to my depression. I had problems in many parts of my life, which made it feel impossible for me to carry on（继续）.‎ At that time, I didn’t understand that depression was an illness. I remember a particular（特别的） day when I couldn’t find enough strength to get myself home from playing in the park—it felt like I was carrying the world on my shoulders（肩膀）.‎ Other times, I even thought about killing myself —I just felt so trapped（陷入困境的）. I never really reached out for help（向别人求助） either, as I felt that there wasn’t anyone who could have helped with my situation.‎ What turned my life around（使我的生活好转）, however, was discovering street dancing. I was introduced to it by a friend, and I started taking classes at a studio（工作室） in London. After a few weeks, I began to go out and meet a lot of other dancers to practice and train with them on a regular basis（定期地）. It gave me a purpose, and eventually the happiness I gained from it helped me manage my depression. The dancing helped me get my life back, focus on my studies, and get through university.‎ My advice to anyone who might be going through something like I was is to reach out for help. The thing about life is that it changes, and you never know what might come on your way. If someone had said to me during those dark moments that I would have gone on to achieve the things I have, I wouldn’t have ever believed it.‎ Just take each day as it comes, and remember that there’s always someone, or something, out there to help you.‎ ‎8.How did the author deal with his depression at first?‎ A.He turned to his old friends for help. ‎ B.He talked about it with his parents.‎ C.He put up with it by himself. ‎ D.He read many articles about it.‎ ‎9.How did street dancing benefit the author?‎ A.It helped him find a good job. ‎ B.It taught him how to control his emotions perfectly.‎ C.It let him find many true friends. ‎ D.It cheered him up and made him feel positive ‎10.What does the author suggest people do when they feel down?‎ A.Always be confident in themselves. ‎ B.Find someone or something to rescue them.‎ C.Wait for help to come patiently. ‎ D.Accept everything that life sends their way,‎ ‎11.How might the author feel about his future?‎ A.Hopeful. B.Fearful. C.Satisfied. D.Uncertain.‎ D Many people believe that you lose the ability to learn new languages as you get older. Language experts(专家),however,will tell you that you’re never too old to learn a new language. As you get older, it can be more difficult to learn a new language,though.‎ Children and adults learn new languages in different ways. For children, language is their life. They study for thousands of hours every year. Because they need to learn language to became part of their communities（社会）.Adults,on the other hand,are already part of a language community. Learning a new language means becoming part of another language community,and adults rarely（很少） get the chance to practice as much as young children do.‎ Moreover.children leaning a new language are expected to make mistakes. This gives them freedom when learning to be daring（勇敢的） and confident Adults,however,often feel pressured （有压力的）to be perfect when learning a new language.This can discourage many people and make it even harder to learn a new language.‎ When young children learn a new language,they come to see various languages as a “normal” part of society.This mindset(思维模式) helps them embrace（接受） learning a new language without feeling like they're doing something unusual or“too hard”.‎ So if you want to learn a new language,go for it! It’s never too late to learn a new language. If you're older,it may take more work,but it can be done.If you're a young child,though,now is the time to step out and learn a new language!‎ ‎12.By “Language is their life”,the author means that children            .‎ A.can't live without language B.lead a happy life every day C.practice a new language a lot D.are taken good care of adults ‎13.What may make it hard for the old people to learn a new language!‎ A.They are afraid of being laughed at. ‎ B.They usually have too many interests.‎ C.They think making mistakes is natural. ‎ D.They always make all kinds of mistakes.‎ ‎14.Which of the following shows the difference between children and adults in learning new language?‎ A.The behaviors they have. ‎ B.The learning attitudes.‎ C.The future plans they have made. ‎ D.The materials they are using.‎ ‎15.According to the author,a new language            .‎ A.can never be learned by the old people ‎ B.can be grasped by the people easily C.can be understood only by the old people ‎ D.can learned by both the old and the young 第二节：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。（每小题2分，共10分） ‎ After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.‎ Go to class. If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well.

Then he said, “Excuse me too... I wasn't 21 watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went 22 our way after saying goodbye.‎ ‎ But at 23 , a different story is told. How we treat our loved ones, young and old. Later in the kitchen, as I 24 our meal, my daughter walked up to me, very still.

I didn't realize how harshly(苛刻地) I had spoken.‎ That night, when I lay 27 in bed, God's quiet voice spoke to me and said, “While 28 with a stranger, you are calm and polite, but with those you love,you are QUICK to excite... Go look around on the kitchen floor, you'll find some flowers there by the 29 . Those are the flowers she brought for you. She 30 them herself-- pink, yellow, and your favorite blue. She stood there quietly, and you never saw the 31 in her eyes.”‎ ‎ By this time, I felt sad and small and now my own tears had begun to fall. I quietly went and knelt by her 32 : “Wake up, my dear,” I said, “Are these the flowers you picked up for me?” She smiled, “I found them out by the tree. I 33 them in a napkin（餐巾）, just for you. I knew you'd like them, especially the 34 .” I said, “I am so sorry that I missed them today... And I 35 have fussed（慌乱）at you that way.”‎ ‎ And she whispered, “Mommy, that's okay... I still love you 36 .” I hugged (拥抱）her and said, “I love you, too and I LOVE the flowers.”‎ ‎ Do you know that: if you die tomorrow, the 37 you are working for could easily replace you in a few days. But the family you leave 38 will feel the loss for the rest of their lives.
