Finally, she decided to take it to see a vet(兽医). After examining Rupert, the vet said its leg was broken, and it needed an immediate operation.‎ But when it had to go in for an operation on its leg, there was a problem -the vet Mike couldn't get near the dog. Mike and Sonya were left scratching(抓)their heads until one of them came up with an idea. Sonya said Rupert slept on a mouse suit so she suggested that Mike put it on.‎ At first, the dog barked wildly when Mike tried to operate on it in usual clothes. To make his patient feel at ease, Mike decided to dress up in the mouse clothes to see if it would be less worried. Amazingly, it worked. It stopped barking and immediately became good friends with Mike when he put on the suit. As a result, he was able to perform an operation on the leg safely and the result was quite satisfying.‎ After the successful operation, Mike hugged the dog around the neck, which isn't usually well-received by pets. Mike tried to be as respectful of its needs as possible and made time to give some attention. What Mike had done created a special experience or event in the dog's life.‎ ‎24. What do we know about Rupert?‎ A. It was often left alone at home. ‎ B. It was hard to get on with at first.‎ C. Its leg broke after it was saved by Sonya. ‎ D.

It was hugged by Mike.‎ ‎27. What played the most important part in calming down the dog?‎ A. Sonya's kindness B. Sonya's patience C. Mike's good temper. D. Mike's respect for Rupert.‎ C Candy comes in many flavors. Some taste like fruit. Some taste like flowers. Some are chewy, like taffy(太妃糖)and gum. Hard candies are, well, hard! So, they last a long time.‎ But, in spoken English, there are some types of candy that you cannot cat. For example, you can't eat eye candy. Eye candy is a person-man or woman-who is very good-looking. So, looking at this person is a treat for the eye, just like candy is a treat for the taste buds.‎ Do you hear of candy coat? Of course it is not a coat made of candy. But you can say I don't candy coat the truth. What does candy-coating something mean? Well, some pills are covered with a coat of thin, sweet candy. The coating makes swallowing the pill easier, and it may hide a bad taste So, candy coating a difficult truth or situation means you don't directly discuss its bad parts.‎ After talking about candy you may want to cat some candies. However, some people dislike things that are very sweet, especially adults. But even if you do not like candy, you can still be called a kid in a candy store. This expression means a person is very happy to do something or to simply be somewhere. Imagine a child going from one candy display to the next, not knowing which candy to choose!‎ Talking about children brings us to another expression: as easy as taking candy from a baby. Think about a small, helpless baby holding a piece of candy. Taking it would be very easy-mean, but easy. So, use this expression when you are talking about something that may be simple to do, but probably not right.‎ ‎28. What kind of girl can be described as "eye candy"?‎ A. Beautiful B. Optimistic C. Hardworking D. Warmhearted ‎29. What does the underlined word "swallowing" mean in English?‎ A. Making. B. Taking. C. Selling. D. Testing.‎ ‎30. Which of the following expressions means you are doing something with wrong intention?‎ A. Hard candies. B. Candy coat.‎ C. A kid in a candy store. D. As easy as taking candy from a baby.‎ ‎31. What is the best title of the passage?‎ A. Candy. Enjoy It or Avoid It B. Various Candies in English C. The Best Candy in the World D. Candies' Different Flavors D In the story of the Crow and the Pitcher from Aesop's Fables, a thirsty crow(乌鸦)drops stones into a narrow jar to raise the low level of water inside so he can take a drink.‎ Now scientists have evidence to back up that story. Crows actually do understand how to make water displacement(排水量)work to their advantage, experiments show. The results suggest that the birds are, at least in some aspects, as smart as first-graders.‎ Researchers, led by Sarah Jelbert at the University of Cambridge, presented six crows with tubes containing water. Inside the tubes, a worm or a piece of meat on a piece of wood was floating, just out of reach of the crow. In front of the tubes, the researchers arranged several rubber erasers that would sink, and some plastic objects that would float. The crows found out that they could drop the erasers into the tubes in order to raise the water level and get their snack.‎ However, the birds handled awkwardly in experiments in which they could choose to drop objects in either a wide tube or a narrow one to get a snack, the researchers said. Dropping objects into a narrow tube would lift the water level by a greater amount and put the treat within reach after just two drops; while it took around seven drops to raise the snack to the same level in the wide tube. The crows obviously didn't realize this, and most of them went for the wide tube first.‎ Previous studies showed that chimps and human children can solve similar tasks. In a 2011 study, chimps and kids found out that they could put water into a tube to reach a peanut that was floating in a small amount of water at the bottom.‎ ‎32. How did the crows get the snack in Sarah's experiment?‎ A. By breaking the tube. B. By dropping in erasers.‎ C. By standing on the wood. D. By removing the wood.‎ ‎33. What does the underlined part "the birds handled awkwardly" mean in Paragraph 4?‎ A. They were unable to tell different shapes.‎ B. They dropped objects only into narrow tubes.‎ C. They were not aware of the snack at first sight.‎ D. They mostly avoided the easier way to get the snack.‎ ‎34. What does the text mainly focus on?‎ A. Crows' intelligence. B. Stories of Aesop's Fables.‎ C. The development of crows. D. Human-animal communication.‎ ‎35. What do we know about crows in the passage?‎ A. Crows arc almost as clever as first-graders in some aspects.‎ B. Crows understand water displacement completely.‎ C. Chimps and children are much smarter than crows.‎ D. The story of the Crow and the Pitcher lacks evidence.‎ 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能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ When it comes to helping students learn and mature, there are several ways to increase their well-being. Although your children may be succeeding in the classroom, there are a few things that you still can do.‎ Encouraging physical activity is the first thing you can do. More and more children do not participate in sports after school. It's important for you to encourage mobility with sports that are played after class.

There are some institutions that even encourage too much screen time as a way to teach children or keep them entertained. You should help the children remain excited without sitting in front of a screen throughout the day.‎ Last but not the least, monitoring bullying(欺凌)is also an essential part. Bullying continues ‎ to remain a common problem in some schools, making it important that the environment that your children grow in holds a high standard. 39 ‎ It's important to examine the school life as a whole to determine what factors are missing. 40 You may determine how well they adjust to the world around them and succeed in life.‎ A. You should provide kids with fresh food.‎ B. Besides, you'd better limit their screen time.‎ C. It will encourage children to focus on their study.‎ D.

The house was near the beautiful blue sea. At the seaside stood thick and tall palm trees with green coconuts hanging from them. When the coconuts fell down, Sami would break them open and drink the coconut water. Sami liked to play under the trees. It was always great fun to spend the holidays at Grandpa's place.‎ This winter vacation, Sami was surprised when he came to his grandfather's village. There we hardly any trees left. He saw houses built near the sea. People had cut down many palm trees and there was hardly any greenery left.‎ Grandpa's house was different. He never allowed his trees to be cut. He hugged each palm tree in his courtyard. He also named the two big trees near the front door-one was Petu, and the other Betu. He had planted them with his own hands and today they had become large, massive ‎ trees with thick trunks. They were tall and green and gave the sweetest, juicest coconuts.‎ One night, Sami was awakened by a strange sound. He could not sleep. He tossed(辗转)and turned in bed. Suddenly the ground shook as if the earth was splitting. He sat up straight and then ran to Grandpa. He clung(附着)to his grandpa tightly. Grandpa cried out, "It's an earthquake! It's an earthquake!" They ran outside the house. They thought that would be safe.‎ Suddenly there was a loud sound; the earth was not splitting but the sea was roaring. People were shouting, screaming and crying, "The sea is rising! The sea is rising!" The villagers started running away from the beach. Sami watched dumbstruck(呆若木鸡).‎ The waves were rising higher and higher. Sami thought, "How big the waves are!" He went into the house again and saw water coming in from all sides. He was scared.‎ Sami remembered his mother telling him long ago, "You must always get out of the house if the floods come too near." He ran outside the house with Grandpa. But the water came surging(汹涌)in.‎ Waves about twelve meters high came rushing in, drowning everything. Water was all around and everywhere.‎ Paragraph 1:‎ Grandpa held Sami's hand tightly but a huge wave separated them. ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ ‎ Paragraph 2:‎ ‎"Sami, Sami!" Grandpa cried.
