We discovered much to Mother’s anger, the reason his coat was so shiny was he loved to eat the velvet soap (used for washing clothes).‎ The laundry was quite a distance from the main house and halfway in between the laundry ‎ and house there was an artesian bore (自流井眼) which used to run constantly with warm salty water. The cow would open the laundry door and eat great quantities of the velvet soap. He’d then go to the bore and drink equal quantities of the hot water. After this he would walk around the yard blowing great big bubbles while belching(打嗝)!‎ We as children would encourage him to eat the soap so he could blow the bubbles. Mother did not! She had to hide the soap so that the cow could not find it.‎ The other pet was a black crow(乌鸦). The crow spent its life waiting for Mother to peg (用衣夹夹住) the washed clean clothes on the outside line. The pegs at that time didn’t work well. The crow would wait and once Mother had pegged out the clothes and gone inside he would pull all the pegs off and the clothes would land in the red dust underneath the line.‎ We thought the crow was pretty smart and would wait for it to do its dirty deed. Mother, who had a very short temper, would get her long gun and shoot at the crow. Finally, one day it disappeared.‎ Some weeks later Dad reported to Mother that the next door neighbour (who lived ‎25km away) asked if we were missing a crow that had the shocking habit of pulling the pegs out of the clothes on the clothes line. I remember Dad being threatened with something worse than death if he admitted it had come from our house.‎ ‎24. Why did the cow have shiny fur?‎ A. It liked eating soap B. Its fur was washed with soap.‎ C. Because of the local environment.‎ D. Because of the special grass it ate：‎ ‎25. What did the author think of the cow?‎ A. It was lazy. B. It was brave.‎ C. It was funny. D. It was stupid. ‎ ‎26. What did the crow do?‎ A. It stole pegs. B. It repaired pegs.‎ C. It made trouble for Mother D. It helped Mother wash clothes.‎ ‎27. After disappearing from the author’s house, the crow ________.‎ A. died of hunger. B. broke its bad habit.‎ C. came back weeks later. D. moved to a nearby place.‎ C Daylight Saving Time, also known as “Summer Time”, begins on the second Sunday in March and ends on the first Sunday in November. The clock goes forward one hour at starting date and back to normal time at ‎2 a.m. on the ending date and back to normal time at ‎2 a.m. on the ending date.‎ Before 2007. DST in the US began on the first Sunday in April and ended on the last Sunday in October. These dates were modified with the passage of the Energy Policy Act of 2005.‎ Under the US Uniform Time Act of 1966, the Department of Transportation is m charge of rime zones and ensuring that DST begins and ends on the same date. The federal law doesn’t require any area to observe DST. But if a state chooses to observe DST, it must follow the starting and ending dates.‎ The concept of DST was first conceived (构想) by Benjamin Franklin as an American delegate (代表) in Paris in a letter to the Journal de Paris. The letter was published on April 26, 1784, under the title “An Economical Project”.‎ DST was first seriously proposed in London in 1907 by William Willett in the book “The Waste of Daylight”. He proposed advancing clocks 20 minutes on each of four Sundays in April, and setting them back by the same amount on four Sundays in September. The idea met with laughter and opposition.‎ DST was first brought into effect during World War I and again in World War II to preserve energy. Germany was the first nation to adopt DST in 1915. Britain, parts of Europe, Canada and the US quickly followed suit Currently, 47 states in the US and over 70 counties observe DST.‎ By observing DST, we create an extra hour of daylight in which less lighting is used and thus less electricity. Studies have shown that we reduce the entire country’s usage of electricity by about 1% each day with DST. Other studies have shown that the extra hour of daylight leads to a reduction in traffic accidents. Crime is also reduced since more people have the opportunity to arrive home before darkness sets in.‎ ‎28. The underlined word “modified” in Paragraph 2 probably means ________.‎ A. checked B. changed C. remembered D. appointed ‎29. What can we learn from Paragraph 5?‎ A. William Willett’s proposal was rejected.‎ B. William Willett was inspired by Benjamin Franklin.‎ C. It was difficult for William Willett to clearly state his ideas.‎ D. DST was casually proposed by Benjamin Franklin in London.‎ ‎30. When was DST officially carried out for the first time?‎ A. In 1784. B. In 1907. C. In 1915. D. In 1966.‎ ‎31. The last paragraph mainly shows ________.‎ A. the extra hour of daylight B. the advantages of observing DST.‎ C. the results of a reduction in traffic accidents.‎ D. the links between the usage of electricity and DST.‎ D It’s hard to avoid getting angry. Even those who are relatively easy-going find themselves angry from time to time. Consider the following example:‎ You’ve been under extraordinary amounts of stress lately and your daughter is late coming home from a date. As she walks in the door, you blow up at her, screaming that she’s grounded for a month.‎ Anger is a messenger that tells us the fact that what is occurring is wrong, according to our beliefs and standards. In any event, anger like any other emotion is not inherently(内在的) bad or wrong. Every feeling has a purpose and understanding what that is critical to knowing how to use it in a positive and constructive way.‎ Good anger is beneficial and results in positive changes for all those concerned. It finds solutions, uplifts, protects, corrects, and enriches lives. Bad anger, on the other hand, makes matters worse. It can cause physical, emotional and / or psychological pain, cause fear, damage relationships, cause the destruction of property, send people to prison, destroy lives, and even kill.‎ Ex: Your neighbor’s children ride their bikes On your lawn (草坪) even though you’ve asked them several times not to.‎ Bad anger: You are very angry and want to go next door immediately and scold the parents, telling them that their kids are unruly and that if they were good parents they would teach their kids to respect other people’s property. You then want to demand that they pay for the damages done to your lawn and threaten them with a lawsuit(诉讼) if they don’t Good anger: However, by giving yourself time to consider the real issues here, you determine that this is not necessarily an issue of bad parenting. Your real concern is the continued financial burden and time expended correcting the ongoing damage done by the children. The real issues, then, are your time and money. Having clearly identified them, you are now able to discuss those issues only, leaving any comments about your neighbor’s parenting abilities out of the discussion. In this regard, you can hopefully preserve a respectful relationship with them.‎ ‎32. What can be inferred from this passage?‎ A. Anger is a messenger that tells us the truth.‎ B. Good anger is beneficial and results from positive changes.‎ C. Anger is unavoidable and natural, and using it in a good way is vital.‎ D. Bad anger is bound to cause the destruction of property.‎ ‎33. What is necessary to know how to use anger positively according to Paragraph 3?‎ A. Realizing what is going wrong.‎ B. Knowing that being angry is bad.‎ C. Finding out the purpose of your anger.‎ D. Letting yourself calm down immediately.‎ ‎34. What is the main difference between good and bad anger in the lawn problem?‎ A. If you talk to the parents.‎ B. If you seek financial compensation.‎ C. If you criticize the parents for bad parenting.‎ D. If you mention the damage caused by the kids.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ A. Good anger and bad anger.‎ B. Use your anger reasonably.‎ C. Control your anger.‎ D. Bad anger is harmful.‎ 第二节（共5小题：每小题2分，共10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。‎ Negative situations happen all the time. We can’t avoid them, so how can we deal with their negative effects? _36_‎ Join a positive support group.‎ It’s important to join a positive support group.
