Antiques are old. You are my antique.”‎ I was not satisfied to let the matter rest there. I took out the Webster’s Dictionary and read the definition to Jenny. I explained, “An antique is not only old, it’s an object existing since or belonging to earlier times...a work of art... a piece of furniture. Antiques are treasured,” I told Jenny as I put away the dictionary. “They have to be handled carefully because they sometimes are very valuable. In order to qualify as an antique, the object has to be at least 100 years old.”‎ ‎“I’m only 67,” I reminded Jenny.‎ We looked around the house for other antiques, besides me. There was a desk that was handed down from Rone aunt to another and finally to our family. “It’s very old,” I told Jenny. “I try to keep it polished and I show it off whenever I can. You do that with antiques.”‎ There was a picture on the wall bought at a garage sale. It was dated 1867. “Now that’s an antique,” I said with pride. “Over 100 years old.” Of course it was marked up and scratched(刮坏) and not in very good condition. “Sometimes age does that,” I told Jenny. “But the marks are good marks. They show living, or being around. That’s something to display with pride. In fact, sometimes, the more an object shows age, the more valuable it can become.” I believed this was important for my own self-worth.‎ Our tour of antiques continued. There was a vase on the floor. It had been in my house for a long time. I was not certain where it came from but I didn’t buy it new. One thing about antiques, I explained to Jenny, was that they usually had a story. They’d been in one home and then another, handed down from one family to another, traveling all over the place. They’d lasted through years and years. They could have been thrown away, or ignored, or destroyed, or lost. But instead, they survived.‎ For a moment, Jenny looked thoughtful. “I don’t have any antiques but you,” she said. Then her face brightened. “Could I take you to school for show and tell?”‎ ‎“Only if I fit into your backpack,” I answered. And then Jenny’s antique lifted her up and embraced her in a hug that would last through the years.‎ ‎24. Grandma read the definition of “antique” to Jenny in order to ________.‎ A. express her disappointment at being called “antique” ‎ B. change Jenny’s shallow understanding of antiques C. tell Jenny the importance of protecting antiques ‎ D. list all the important characteristics of antiques ‎25. Which of the following information did grandma express to Jenny?‎ A. The desk reminded her of her dear relatives.‎ B. There was usually a sad story behind each antique.‎ C. The spots on the picture showed its age and value.‎ D. She planned to buy a new vase to replace the old one.‎ ‎26. What can be inferred from the last paragraph?‎ A. Grandma was too old to lift Jenny up.‎ B. Jenny was too young to know grandma’s humor.‎ C. Jenny had a strong desire for grandma’s love.‎ D. Grandma had a deep long-lasting love for Jenny.‎ ‎27. What can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Jenny’s Antique B. Grandma’s Antique C. A Tour of Antiques D. A Story of Antiques C It’s really true what people say about English politeness: it’s everywhere. When squeezing(挤) past someone or passing through a crowd in a narrow place, people say “sorry”. When getting off a bus, English passengers say “thank you” rather than the driver. In Germany, people would never dream of doing these things. After all, squeezing past others is sometimes unavoidable, and the bus driver is only doing his job. I used to think the same way, without questioning it, until I started traveling to the British Isles and came to appreciate some more polite ways of communicating with people, and here are some more polite ways of interacting with people in UK.‎ People thank each other everywhere in England, all the time. When people buy something in a shop, customer and shop assistant in most cases thank each other twice or more. In Germany, it would be surprising to hear more than one thank you in such a conversation. British students thank their lecturers when leaving the room. English employers thank their employees for doing their jobs, which is different from Germans, who would normally think that paying their workers money is already enough.‎ Another thing I observed during my stay was that English people rarely criticize others. Even when I was working and mistakes were pointed out to me, my employers repeated several times but none of their explanations were intended as scolding me. It has been my impression that by avoiding scolding, English people are making an effort to make others feel comfortable. This also is showed in other ways. British men still open doors for women, and British men are more likely to treat women to ‎ a meal than German men. However, I do need to point out here that this applies to English men a bit more than it would to Scottish men! Yes, the latter are a bit mean.‎ ‎28. What is the author’s feeling of English politeness?‎ A. He thinks highly of it. B. He thinks little of it.‎ C. He thinks it is unnecessary. D. He thinks it goes too far.‎ ‎29. What can be inferred from the passage?‎ A. British men never treat a woman to dinner.‎ B. British men think it’s unnecessary to say “thank you” to the bus driver.‎ C. In Germany, employers often say “thank you” to employees for their job.‎ D. Germans think it is unnecessary to thank workers because payment is enough.‎ ‎30. We can learn from the last paragraph that Scottish men ______.‎ A. like to fight with each other B. treat women more politely than English men C. are as generous as English men D. are unwilling to spend money for women ‎31. The author develops the text through the method of ______.‎ A. telling stories B. making comparisons C. giving reasons D. doing scientific research D The brain is a remarkable part. It's responsible for thoughts and feelings. Now a new study finds that going through tough times as a kid also can have an impact. The adult brains of people who lived through lots of stress before the age of six—and then became depressed or anxious as teenagers—were different compared with adults who had an easier childhood. It seems that teens changed the shape of their brains by internalizing (使内在化) the stresses experienced years earlier.‎ Researchers already knew that the shape and size of a child's brain can change in response to lots of stress. They also knew that adults were more likely to be depressed if, as kids, they'd lived in poverty. Some studies showed that these depressed adults had unusual changes in their brain shape. But no one had tested if the early stress and later brain changes were linked.‎ Scientists in England studied almost 500 boys from birth until the ages of 18 to 21.Sarah Jensen is one of the new study's authors. Almost all of the boys her team studied experienced some hard times as kids. And, she concludes, “This is not necessarily harmful.” To some extent, that's just life. What can be dangerous, she says, is when children experience too many forms of difficulties. Her team's new data ‎ suggest that the tougher the childhood, the stronger the impact on the brain might be.‎ What's happening in the world around us relates to how we feel.Her team linked more childhood stress to more depression.Still, she notes, it's possible that if you find support for anxiety or depression, you might be able to prevent the changes seen here.“If you can change the environment, you can change the course of things.” Sarah says. So, she recommends, if teens develop anxiety or depression, it's good to ask for psychological doctors to give advice.32．When people had a hard childhood,_____．‎ A．they will have a brave attitude to life B．their way of thinking may be strange C．they will be good at dealing with stress D．the shape of their brain may be changed ‎33．What is the breakthrough of the new research?‎ A．The size of the brain can change. B．The brain can be influenced by stress.‎ C．Poverty can affect the brain's shape in future. ‎ D．Changes in brain are connected with earlier hardship.‎ ‎34．It's a problem when children ____．‎ A．had a lonely childhood B．led a peaceful childhood C．got different kinds of hardship D．experienced limited hard times ‎35．For teenagers with anxiety, Sarah suggests ____.‎ A．they adapt to their life B．they seek professional help C．they talk to friends or relatives D．they become confident and optimistic ‎ 七选五 People use colors to express their feelings and describe their world.    36    Let’s see if we can figure out where they originated.‎ Black sheep of the family The phrase refers to a member of a family or a group who is in disgrace (失宠). It probably comes from the days when, in a group of sheep, the black ones were worth less than the white ones at market because their wool could not be dyed (染色) into different colors.    37   ‎ Green with envy When your friend shows up with the hottest new video game in town, you might feel this way.    38    It was the Greeks who connected it with sickness. They thought ‎ that when a person was ill or envious, his or her body produced too much bile (胆汁), giving his or her skin a greenish color.‎ True blue Is your best friend “true blue”? No, this doesn’t refer to a dye job on his hair.    39    Back when all color dyes came from natural sources, such as berries and leaves, blue was the most difficult color to produce and often faded quickly. Finally, during the Middle Ages, an English town became famous for a blue dye that produced a nice, rich blue that didn’t fade after just a few washings. This reliable color became known as “true blue”.‎ Royal purple Purple is a fairly popular color. But throughout history, it was reserved for royalty and important members of the church. Purple was once the most expensive dye in the world.    40    The resulting purple-colored cloth was costly, and only the richest people could afford to buy it.‎ A. It means that he is honest, faithful, and reliable.‎ B. This made the black sheep an unwelcome member.‎ C. A person who was envious would make him look green.‎ D. Almost everyone at some time or another has “the blues”.‎ E. Many color-related phrases are a common part of our speech.‎ F. Writers such as Shakespeare used the color green to represent envy.‎ G. The process of collecting the dye and processing it was long and complex.‎ 第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分） Children find meanings in their old family tales.‎ When Stephen Guyer's three children were growing up，he told them stories about how his grandfather, a banker, 41 all in the 1930s, but did not lose sight of what he valued most. In one of the 42 times when his strong-minded grandfather was nearly 43 , he loaded（装载）his family into a car. And he 44 them to see family members in Canada with a 45 ,“there are more important things in life than money”.‎ The 46 took on a new meaning recently when Mr. Guyer moved to a 47 house from a more expensive and comfortable one. He was 48 that his children, a daughter, 15, and twins, 22, would be upset. To his surprise, they weren't. 49 , their reaction echoed（类似）their great-grandfather's. What they 50 was how warm the people were in the house and how 51 their heart was accessible.‎ Many parents are finding family stories have surprising power to 52 children through hard times. Storytelling experts say the phenomenon (现象) shows a growing ‎53 in telling tales, evidenced by a rise in storytelling events and festivals.‎ A university 54 of 65 families with children aged from 14 to 16 found kids' ability to 55 parents' stories was linked to a lower rate of anger and anxiety.‎ The 56 is telling the stories in a way 57 can hear them. We're not talking here about the kind of story that 58 , “When I was a kid, I walked to school every day uphill, barefoot in the snow.” Instead, we should choose a story suited to the child's 59 , and make eye contact（接触）to create“a personal experience”. We don't have to tell children what they should 60 from the story and what the moral is.‎ ‎41．A．missed B．lost 　　　 C．forgot D．ignored ‎42．A．darkest B．best 　　　 C．strongest D．simplest ‎43．A．friendless B．worthless C．penniless D．homeless ‎44．A．fetched B．allowed C．expected D．took ‎45．A．possibility B．promise C．suggestion D．belief ‎46．A．report B．agreement C．arrangement D．tale ‎47．A．large B．new C．small D．grand ‎48．A．pleased B．annoyed C．worried D．disappointed ‎49．A．Therefore B．Besides C．Otherwise D．Instead ‎50．A．talked about B．cared about C．wrote about D．heard about ‎51．A． many B．much C．little D．few ‎52．A．remind B．praise C．thrill D．help ‎53．A．argument B．skill C．anxiety D．interest ‎54．A．study B．design C．group D．organization ‎55．A．retell B．provide C．support D．refuse ‎56．A．trouble B．gift 　　　 C．fact D．trick ‎57．A．parents B．children C．people D．Students ‎58．A．means B．ends C．begins D．proves ‎59．A．habits B．Activities C．judgement D．needs ‎60．A．gain B．receive C．accept D．admit 语法填空 ‎　　Life is often a matter of waiting for the right moment to act. For Sun Yang, that moment came last month, 61 he finally won the men’s 200-meter freestyle event at the Asian Games.‎ Aug 19 62 (see) the three-time Olympic champion’s patience and efforts pay off at the 18th Asian Games in Indonesia. This means Sun has got a Golden Grand Slam(大满贯).

The life of the little elephant was in great danger. But thankfully, people living nearby heard the sad cries of the mother elephant. They immediately rushed over to see what had happened.

At last, the mother tightly wrapped her trunk around the baby’s body and pulled him out. (19) Then the tired mother and her baby happily walked side by side as they continued their journey. (20)‎
