She showered me gifts from her travels around the world. But I can only remember a book she gave me---one book that, to this day, I have not read. She presented me with her own favorite childhood book: Hans Brinker. My grandmother was happy to share this book with me. She even decorated the title page with her proud writing.‎ I tried to read it. I adored reading, and would dive into a new pile of books from the library all at once. But something about Hans Brinker just wouldn't let me in. The story was set in Holland, a long time ago. It felt dull and unfamiliar, even ‎ though I was a fan of classics of other times and places. I simply read the first pages over and over. I could not progress.‎ Standing on a bookshelf in our living room, the book was like something I avoided. It scolded me for not being interested, for not trying hard enough, for disappointing my grandmother. The book started to fit in, almost forgotten, until Adele asked. Had I read it? Did I like it? Always determined, she wanted to know the answer. I would make some kind of excuse, but feel bad, and open it again, hoping for a new reaction. The book weighed on me.‎ Years passed and finally Adele and I both accepted that I would never read Hans Brinker. Eventually I cleared the book from the shelf. The Hans Brinker experience led me to set a rule that I’ve lived by ever since: Do not ask about a book given as a gift and don't let anything become your barrier. What Adele originally wanted to do is to give book-giving special meaning, but she increased the possibility of the owner to be a disappointment.‎ ‎4. What is the similar hobby of the author and his grandmother?‎ A. Travelling.‎ B. Reading.‎ C. Writing. ‎ D. Buying books.‎ ‎5. Why was the author unwilling to read Hans Brinker?‎ A. The book was boring.‎ B. He didn’t like Holland.‎ C. The book had many stories.‎ D. He hadn't enough time to read it.‎ ‎6. What is the main idea of the third paragraph?‎ A. The author felt stressed facing the book.‎ B. The author began to dislike reading books.‎ C. The author began to hope for a change.‎ D. The author felt sorry for his grandmother.‎ ‎7. What does the underlined part "the owner" in the last paragraph refer to?‎ A. The writer of Hans Brinker.‎ B. The grandmother.‎ C. The author.‎ D. The publisher of Hans Brinker.‎ C ‎ New Zealand is an island country in the southwestern of Pacific Ocean. The country geographically comprises two main lands---the North Island, or Te Ika-a-Maui, and the South Island, or Te Waipounamu, and numerous smaller islands. New Zealand is situated some 1,500 kilometers east of Australia across the Tasman Sea and roughly 1, 000 kilometers south of the Pacific island areas of New Caledonia, Fiji, and Tonga. Because of its remoteness, it was one of the last lands to be settled by humans. The country's varied topography (地形) and its sharp mountain peaks, such as the Southern Alps, owe much to volcanic eruptions. New Zealand’s capital city is Wellington, while the city that has the largest population is Auckland.‎ Polynesians settled in the islands that were to become New Zealand somewhere between 1250 and 1300 AD, and developed a unique Maori culture. In 1642, Abel Tasman, a Dutch explorer, became the first European to sight New Zealand. In 1840, representatives of the British Crown (王室) and Maori Chiefs signed the Treaty of Waitangi, making New Zealand a British colony. Today, the majority of New Zealand’s population of 4. 5 million is of European descent(血统), and the indigenous(土著的) Maori are the largest minority, followed by Asians and Pacific Islanders. Reflecting this, New Zealand's culture is mainly originated from Maori and early British settlers, with recent broadening arising from increased immigration. The official languages are English, Maori and New Zealand Sign Language, with English predominant(主要的). ‎ New Zealand‎ is a developed country with a market economy that mainly consists of the exports of dairy products, meat and wine, along with tourism. New Zealand is a high-income economy and ranks highly in international comparisons of national performance, such as health, education, economic freedom and quality of life.‎ ‎8. What does the underlined word "comprises" in Paragraph 1 mean?‎ A. Loses.‎ B. Conquers.‎ C. Explores.‎ D. Includes.‎ ‎9. What can be inferred from the text?‎ A. New Zealand was the last land to be settled by humans.‎ B. The indigenous Maori takes up the largest population in New Zealand.‎ C. The formation of the Southern Alps has something to do with volcanic eruptions.‎ D. New Zealand’s culture is mainly originated from Maori and early Dutch settlers.‎ ‎10. Who made great contributions to Maori culture according to the text?‎ A. Polynesians. ‎ B. Dutch.‎ C. British Crown. ‎ D. Tonga.‎ ‎11. What does the last paragraph mainly talk about?‎ A. The developing aims of New Zealand.‎ B. The economic situation of New Zealand.‎ C. The high ranks that New Zealand government has got.‎ D. The achievements that New Zealand government has got.‎ D Dogs can tell how other dogs are feeling from the way their tails are wagging(摇摆),according to researchers who monitored the animals heart rate as they watched dogs movies. The Italian team found that dogs had higher heart rates and became more anxious when they saw others wag their tails more to the left, but not when they wagged more to the right, or failed to wag at all.‎ The curious form of communication is probably not intentional, or consciously understood but is instead an automatic behavior that arises from the structure of the brain, said Giorgio. "It's not something they clearly and exactly understand," Giorgio told The Guardian. "It's just something that happens to them."‎ Giorgio traces the effect back to the way the two halves of the brain process different experiences. In a previous study, his team showed that when a dog had a positive experience, activity rose in the left side of the brain, bringing about more tail wagging to the right. Or else more tail wagging to the left. The effect is barely visible to the human eye because dogs tend to wag their tails too fast, but it can be seen with slow motion video, or in some larger types.‎ In the latest study, the researchers wanted to find out whether the direction of tail wagging had any effect on other dogs. To get an answer, they fitted dogs with vests that recorded their heart rates, and played them movies of other dogs wagging their tails one way and then the other. To ensure the dogs reacted only to tail wagging, and not appearance, they repeated the experiment with dogs that appeared only as shadows.‎ ‎"When dogs saw other dogs wagging their tails to the right, there was quite a relaxed reaction and no evidence of an increased heart rate. But when the wagging was to the left we saw an increase in heart rate and a series of behaviors typically associated with stress, anxiety and being more watchful, "Giorgio said. The anxious animals held their ears up, breathed, and kept their eyes wide open. The study appears in the latest issue of Current Biology.‎ ‎12. What does the text focus on?‎ A. Animal psychology.‎ B. Animal welfare.‎ C. Animal tests.‎ D. Animal protection.‎ ‎13. What leads to dogs’ wagging tail to the left or right according to Giorgio?‎ A. Their selective preference.‎ B. Their conscious response.‎ C. Their increasing heart rate.‎ D. Their automatic behavior.‎ ‎14. At what time do dogs have more tail wagging to the right? ‎ A. When they run quickly.‎ B. When they feel hungry.‎ C. When they feel stressed.‎ D. When they play with their owners.‎ ‎15. What may be the best title for the text?‎ A. How dogs communicate with each other.‎ B. Some reasons why dogs feel seriously anxious.‎ C. Dogs' communicating ways of tail wagging.‎ D. Dogs' different behaviors in different situations.‎ 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。‎ Do you know what a big dream is? Does a big dream show one's future? Or, is a big dream something that provides only entertainment? Children dream big dreams, but there are three barriers to realizing dreams. 16 .‎ The self Immediately following the birth of a big dream, a negative self-talk takes over ‎ and gives all the reasons why it cannot happen. This voice inside of people is the ego (自我). It's there for protecting and should be listened to. Sometimes it is right, but more often it is wrong. 17 . That's why only a handful of people make their dream come true.‎ Family and friends Family and friends are a lot like the ego. 18 , so they will often list all the reasons why the big dreams won't come true. Sometimes, family and friends destroy dreams of those they love most, out of their own fear of being left behind.‎ ‎ 19 ‎ If one gets past the first two barriers, one has to face the world. It is the last and the most terrible barrier. In the past, big dreamers were locked up and sometimes even killed when they were shown to the world. Fortunately, in most of the world today, big dreamers just get laughed at. 20 . When children feel confident and then try their best, they will be ready to accept any failure. The truth is that every great dreamer whose dreams have never seen the light of success knows failure well. They simply fail until they succeed.‎ A. The world B. The future C. Most people are influenced by it D. They want to protect those they love E. And their big dream is to be a rock star or a famous artist F. They often kill them before they ever have a chance to grow G. The way to realize a big dream is with confidence and action ‎ 第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)‎ 第一节(共20小题;每小题1.5分,满分30分)‎ 阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ I want to share a moving story with you.

When it comes to the topic, different people have different opinions. As for me, I think our parents bear more stress than us. Although we as students must study hard for a good university with so much stress from our parents and teachers, parents feel more stressful than us. Here are my reasons.‎ Firstly, parents shouldn’t only work hard, but they need to take care of us and our grandparents. Secondly, we just need to put our heart into study, because parents are trying their best to give us all the necessary things. Lastly, besides the stress from family and work, parents have to face lots of complex situations in the society. So we should study hard in return for our parents' love.‎ That’s all.
