My name is Mrs. Murray. I am replacing your regular teacher,” she said, as she wrote her name on the blackboard. “I will enjoy getting to know each of you personally, over the next few months.”‎ The children in the class remained silent, as this was totally unexpected.‎ ‎“Come on, someone say something,” she thought nervously. The children were too quiet.‎ ‎“This probably won’t last long,” she thought, smiling kindly at them. Grade Three students were normally very lively and seldom, if ever silent. “If you have problems, please come to me. I will help you.”‎ The children gradually began to relax, but not one of them spoke.‎ ‎“How can I get them to accept me?” she wondered. Suddenly, she had an idea.‎ ‎“Your first homework will be to write a new song. To make it even more exciting, challenging and fun for everyone, it must be a new love song for Valentine’s Day. The winner will be awarded a prize, at our class party.”‎ The children looked amazed, but pleased.‎ ‎“You may sing your new song, or play it with a musical instrument.”‎ As if something had suddenly awakened the children, the silence in the room ended suddenly.‎ ‎“A love song?” a boy asked, smiling sweetly, at his new teacher. ‎ ‎“We each have to write one,” said a dark haired girl, “We never had to do that before.”‎ ‎“And perform it too!” a red haired boy responded, laughing aloud. “I love it! Me, sing a love song?” ‎ ‎“Want to know what the first prize will be?”‎ Immediately, every hand in the room went up.‎ Mrs. Murray reached into her handbag and pulled out a harmonica（口琴）.‎ ‎“What do you think of this?” She waited.‎ ‎“I am also a music teacher, so I will be able to help you write your new love songs.” added Mrs. Murray, smiling at her new students. Obviously, her smile and intelligent idea about the homework impressed every student in the class. ‎ ‎25.

They come in many different colors ‎ and patterns, but the best-known in North America is the seven-spotted ladybug, with its shiny, red-and-black body.‎ In many cultures, ladybugs are thought to be good luck. Most people like them because they are pretty, lovely and do no harm to human beings. But farmers love them because they eat aphids and other plant-eating pests. One ladybug can eat up 5,000 insects in its lifetime!‎ Most ladybugs have dome-shaped bodies with six short legs. Depending on the kind, they can have spots, stripes, or nothing at all. Seven-spotted ladybugs are red or orange with three spots on each side and one in the middle. They have a black head. Ladybugs are colorful for a reason. They tell the enemy: “Eat something else! I taste terrible.” When threatened, they may play dead. Birds are ladybugs’ main predators（天敌）, but they are also eaten by frogs, spiders, and dragonflies. ‎ Ladybugs are happy in many different places, including grasslands, forests, cities, suburbs, and along rivers. Seven-spotted ladybugs are native to Europe but were brought to North America in the mid-1900s.‎ Ladybugs are most active from spring until fall. When the weather turns cold, they look for a warm place to hibernate, such as in rotting logs, under rocks, or even inside houses. These hibernating places can have thousands of ladybugs.‎ The name “ladybug” was given by European farmers who prayed to the Virgin Mary when pests began eating their crops. After ladybugs came and wiped out the invading insects, the farmers named them “beetle of Our Lady”. This later was shortened to “lady beetle” and “ladybug”.‎ ‎28. The underlined word “aphid” in Paragraph 2 is probably a kind of_______.‎ A. pest B. bird C. plant D. tree ‎29.

The following are all used to describe ladybugs EXCEPT_______.‎ A. ladybugs can live along rivers B. seven-spotted ladybugs were brought to Europe from North America C. ladybugs are very active in autumn D. the name “ladybug” came from “beetle of Our Lady”‎ ‎31. Which of the following would be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Seven-spotted Ladybugs B. The Development of Ladybugs ‎ C. The History of Ladybugs D. Ladybugs ‎ D When talking about colds(感冒), maybe some people say it is very common. During the cold winter days, many people will complain（抱怨） the cold winter makes them catch a cold, and what they feel upset are not only the headache, cough but also the runny nose. It is so embarrassing when they forget to take a handkerchief or tissue along with them.‎ Want to stay away from colds? Put on a happy face.‎ Compared to unhappy people, those who are cheerful and relaxed are less likely to suffer from colds, according to a new study. It’s possible that being happy helps the body fight illnesses, say the researchers from New York University.‎ ‎“It seems that positive(积极的) feelings may reduce (减少)the danger of illness,” said the study’s chief researcher Sheldon Cohen.‎ In an earlier study, Cohen found that people who were cheerful and lively caught coughs and colds less often. People who showed feelings were also less likely to tell their doctors that they felt ill.‎ In this study, Cohen has interviewed 193 adults every day for two weeks. During the interviews, the people told researchers that they were given colds by doctors and had to stay alone in a room for six days.‎ The results showed that everyone in the study was equally(相等地) likely to get ill. But for people who said they felt happy during the research period, their illness are less serious and lasted for a shorter time.‎ Cohen believes that when people experience positive feelings, their body may ‎ produce a chemical that helps fight illness and disease. So if you are worried about your health, look on the brighter side more often.‎ ‎32. The underline part in Paragraph 5 is probably means ___________.‎ A. were sad B. were bad-tempered ‎ C. were thoughtful D. were outgoing ‎33. What did the study find?‎ A. People who felt happy never got ill.‎ B. People with positive feelings had less serious illnesses.‎ C. People with good feelings became ill more easily.‎ D. People’s feelings didn’t influence their health.‎ ‎34. According to Cohen, which of the following may help fight illness?‎ A. Eating. B. Laughing C. Crying D. Sleeping.‎ ‎35. What is the best title for this passage? ________‎ A. Smiles can fight colds B. Cause of colds found C. The danger of colds D. How people get sick 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。‎ How to Be Grateful（感恩的）‎ Has your mother or best friend told you that you’re an ungrateful person? 36 Do you keep thinking about the things you don't have, instead of being thankful for what you do have? If so, then you need to work on being a more grateful person.‎ ‎● 37 This isn’t a religious(宗教的) thing. You don’t have to hold off on noting everything you’re thankful for until Thanksgiving.
