He had a younger brother called Sam and he seldom shared his toys with him.‎ ‎“You must share, Thomas,” said his mother. “One day you will want somebody to share something with you and they won’t. Then you will be very upset.”‎ ‎____________‎ ‎“I will be fine, Mom,” Thomas replied. “As long as I have my own toys, I will always be fine.”‎ ‎“Very well,” his mother said. “It seems that you know best.”‎ One day Thomas’ mother decided to teach him a lesson. At Christmas, she knew that both boys wanted the same video game. She knew that if she bought it for Thomas, Sam would never get to play it. So she bought the game for Sam.‎ When Christmas Day arrived, both boys were patiently waiting for their presents in front of the fireplace. As Sam opened his present, he was very excited. Thomas saw it was the game he wanted and smiled.‎ ‎“Thank you so much, Mom!” Sam said.‎ ‎“There is just one thing, Sam,” his mother said. “You cannot share this game with your brother.”‎ Thomas hardly believed his ears! “Why not, Mom?” he asked furiously without much thought.‎ ‎“Because you don’t share any of your toys with Sam and it wouldn’t be fair,” his mother replied. “If you share some of your toys with Sam, then I am sure he will let you play his game.”‎ ‎“OK,” Thomas said slowly, “that seems fair.”‎ From that day on, the two boys shared all their toys and games.‎ ‎21.

Wise B Before the coming of the first settlers from Europe, Canada’s local people had discovered a new kind of food—maple sap(汁液)，which they gathered every spring. According to many historians, the maple leaf began to serve as a Canadian symbol as early as 1700.‎ In 1834, the first St.‎ Jean Baptise Society in North America made the maple leaf its sign. In 1836, Le Canadian, a newspaper, referred to it as a suitable symbol for Canada. In 1860, the maple leaf was used widely in decorations for the visit of the Prince of Wales. Alexander Muir wrote The Maple Leaf Forever in 1867; it was regarded as the national song for several decades. The army uniforms created the next year for Ontario and Quebec both included the maple leaf. Later the maple leaf appeared on coins. Between 1876 and 1901, it appeared on all Canadian coins. The modern one-cent piece has two maple leaves on a common twig(细枝)，a design that has gone almost unchanged since 1937.‎ During the First World War, the maple leaf was included on the badge(徽章) of the Canadian Expeditionary Force. Since 1921, the Royal Arms of Canada have included three maple leaves as a special Canadian symbol. In 1939, at the time of World War Ⅱ, many Canadian troops used the maple leaf as a special sign.‎ With the announcement of Canada’s new flag in 1965, the maple leaf has become the Canadian symbol. On February 15 of that year, the red maple leaf flag first appeared ‎ as the National Flag of Canada.‎ ‎25. The second and third paragraphs mainly tell us ________.‎ ‎ A. how Canada’s national song came about. ‎ B. why the maple leaf was used on the army uniforms.‎ ‎ C. why Canadian coins kept unchanged for a long time. ‎ D. how widely the maple leaf as a sign was used in Canada.‎ ‎26.

We’ve been in Milan for nearly 20 years and I’ve been working from home for 12 years, since my first child was born. I’ve found that my work-life balance has been easier to manage since I started working from home---and it needs to be easy to manage when you’ve got children.‎ Miranda: I’m a writer and I’ve been working from home for the last 18 months. I must say it’s been pretty difficult. For one thing, I’ve been paying a lot more for heating. And I’ve missed the office gossip. To be honest, it’s quite lonely. I almost wish I could go back to my old job.‎ Jordan‎: Working from home has really changed my life. I love it. I love being my own boss. I’ve been working from home as a website designer since I left my last job in 2004. I have a bit more time these days.

The best thing is that I don’t have to commute(通勤) to work on crowded trains. I’ve had lots more time and I’ve been learning a new language since I started working from home in January. I’ve always wanted to learn Spanish.‎ Rageh: I’m German but I’ve been living abroad for five years. I’ve been working in marketing for a pharmaceutical(制药的) company near London and I’ve been working from home part of the time since January.

D. Ahmed ‎ ‎ ‎ D Winters are cold in northern British Colunbia, a province‎ of ‎Canada. That’s one reason why two girls become concerned about a number of homeless cats in their town.‎ ‎“My dad first saw this big cat problem…and he knew the man who had all the cats,” says Vivienne Thompson. Vivienne and her friend Catrina Vanderwolf learned that the man wasn’t happy about all the cats living around his home. They offered to help.‎ Each day after school all winter long, the girls walked two miles to feed the cats. “We could see all their footprints in the snow and at first couldn’t understand why they wouldn’t let us get close to them,” explained the girls.‎ They contacted(联系)Valerie Ingram at the Lakes Animal Friendship Society, who told them that the cats are “feral.” They belong to no one. Feral cats have little or no contact with humans in their entire lives. The large colony(群) of cats likely started with two stray(流浪的) cats who had a litter of kittens. Those cats had kittens, and before long, there were dozens of homeless cats.‎ To get the cat colony under control, the cats would need operations so that they could no longer have kittens. Vivienne and Catrina shared what they learned with their teachers and other students---and a project began! Grassy‎ Plains ‎School started raising money to pay for the cats’ operations. Before long, local organizations and large companies agreed to help.‎ Volunteers spent months humanely trapping the cats. Finally, all the cats had been operated on and returned to the colony.‎ ‎“We were so happy to be a part of helping, to get to know the cats, to not see suffering anymore, only happy cats---and a happy man who feeds them on his step now,” say Vivienne and Catrina.‎ ‎32. What do we know about the man mentioned in Paragraph 2?‎ A. He disliked the cats. ‎ B. He mistreated the cats. ‎ C. He fed the cats regularly. ‎ D. He was the owner of the cats.‎ ‎33. What do we know about feral cats?‎ ‎ A. They live separately. B. They’re almost wild animals.‎ ‎ C. They’re preferred by pet lovers. D. They’re reunited with their owners.‎ ‎34. How was the cat colony brought under control?‎ ‎ A. Through a joint effort. B. With the government’s help. ‎ C. By sheltering the homeless cats. D. By encouraging people to adopt cats.‎ ‎35. What would be the best title for the text?‎ ‎ A. Be a responsible pet lover. B. Advice to new cat owners.‎ ‎ C. Friends of homeless cats. D. Start your own project.‎ 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。‎ Jealous Ken ‎ Dick and Ken lived in the same street.

However, in my opinion, we students should spend some time helping with the housework. Here are the reasons.‎ Doing housework is not only parents’ work, but also ours. If we leave all the housework to our parents, it will make them very tired, because they have to work very hard every day. Furthermore, it’s not enough for us to just get good grades at school. Being independent is also very important. In fact, the earlier we learn to be independent, the better our future will be. Doing housework can help us learn to look after ourselves and therefore be independent.‎ So why not share housework at home.‎
