B.To try as many means as possible.‎ C.To help kids develop as fully as possible. D.To train kids as early as possible.‎ ‎34.What does the fifth paragraph discuss about?‎ A.The effective ways to help develop children's brain.‎ B.The vital factors to have a great effect on children's health.‎ C.The proper time to teach children to learn languages.‎ D.The practical steps to arouse children's interest in study.‎ ‎35.We can replace the underlined expression in the last paragraph with .‎ A.inspiration B.promotion C.suggestion D.introduction 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 cheer up your best friend Everyone feels down every once in a while,including your best friend.Maybe your best friend has recently experienced something that could make her feel sad.It is difficult to see a best friend feeling miserable._36_‎ Communicate There are cute ways to let your best friend know how important he is to you.You might consider sending a text you both find funny._37_‎ Gifts A cute gift may be all he needs to cheer up.It doesn't have to be an expensive one,but if it is cute and holds a meaning between the two of you,it can go a long way.If he knows you are terrible at making arts and crafts,please go ahead and make him something._38_A bad attempt at an art and craft says a lot about how much you care.If you don't like to do arts and crafts,you could go out and find him something the two of you have always joked about buying and actually buy it for him.‎ ‎_39_‎ If your best friend feels depressed,he may decide to stay locked up for days.Instead of letting him stay in,work to get him up and out of the house.Invite him to your house to play silly board games;take him to a surprise movie;or even walk out when you've eaten all the popcorn.‎ Music Music is a powerful way to get your friend out of a bad mood._40_To make it cute,you can record yourself singing a track,or put a personalized message before each track to make him laugh.‎ A.It's the thought that counts.‎ B.Invite him to a surprise movie.‎ C.Get him out of the house.‎ D.You could make him a mix of some of your favorite music.‎ E.You might also call him voicemail and sing him a song you both like.‎ F.However,there are many things you can do to cheer him up.‎ G.Get personalized recommendations and add a new track to your list.‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ As we all know,helping others is a great service,and it's easy to see how to help some people,but what about those people whose needs are not so obvious?

In other words,being able to find them hard to learn also means you might have been rather a good Chinese learner.Therefore,no need to focus too much on being interrupted while reading a book with many unknown characters.The more you read,the better you will understand them.Besides, I will give you timely help on the Internet,if you like.‎ In addition,I have posted you an Ancient Chinese Dictionary,hoping to support you.‎ Best wishes!‎ Yours,‎ Li Hua ‎ ‎
