At the end I said, “ Son, remember: Be slow and steady (镇定的), and that will win the race. Don’t you think there’s something to learn from the tortoise?”‎ Sonny opened his eyes wide, “Do you mean next time when I’m entering for the 60-metre race I should wish that Billy, Tony and Sandy would all fall asleep halfway?”‎ I was shocked, “But the tortoise didn’t wish that the hare would fall asleep!”‎ ‎“He must have wished that,” Sonny said, “Otherwise how could he be so foolish as to race with the hare? He knew very well the hare ran a hundred times faster than he himself did.”‎ ‎“He didn’t have such a wish,” I insisted. “He won the race by perseverance (毅力), by pushing on steadily.”‎ Sonny thought a while. “That’s a lie,” he said. “He won it because he was lucky. If the hare hadn’t happened to fall asleep, the tortoise would never have won the race. He could be as steady as you like, or a hundred times steadier, but he’d never have won the race. That’s for sure.”‎ I gave up. Today’s children are not like what we used to be. They’re just hopeless. ‎ ‎21. The writer argued (辩论)with his son because ______________.‎ ‎ A. he liked tortoises while his son liked hares ‎ B. they disagreed about whether the tortoise was foolish ‎ C. he tried to teach his son a moral (品德) lesson but the son had totally different opinion D. he liked the story of the hare and the tortoise while his son didn’t.‎ ‎22. The writer thinks that his generation (一代人) ______________.‎ ‎ A. are cleverer than Sonny’s generation ‎ B. have the same ideas about life as Sonny’s generation ‎ C. are more hopeful than Sonny’s generation ‎ D. have different ideas about life from Sonny’s generation ‎23. According to the passage, who do you think learnt a lesson?‎ ‎ A. The tortoise B. Sonny C. The hare D. Sonny’s father B ‎ Finding summer jobs for teenagers has not always been easy, but now you no longer have to worry about what your kid can do to earn their own money. Recently I found some different sites online that offer information about what kids can do. Below is some of that information, along with questions to think about to help you come up with your own ideas.‎ Ideas for summer work:‎ ‎●Parks and Recreation Programs.‎ ‎●Babysitting (当临时保姆) during the day of school.‎ ‎●Working part-time at a day care（日托） for the summer.‎ ‎●Car washing.‎ ‎●Working at local vegetable stands.‎ ‎ The easiest way for you to find ways for your child to make money is to think about others’ inconveniences (不方便). Think of things you need done, or would like to have done, and what you would consider paying for these things to get done. Once you have some ideas, you can sit down with your child and talk to them about what they would be interested in doing. Then once you have an idea of what they want to do you can help them come up with fair prices.‎ ‎ Preferably you would want to only have your child working with people you know and trust, or at least you could have your child pick a partner. That way with each of them carrying cell phones, even those without service can call 911, they will be much safer.‎ ‎ You can find out more information and many more ideas for kids to use to make money during their summer holidays by visiting http://www.kidswantmoney.com.‎ ‎24. The passage is mainly written for _____.‎ A. teenagers B. teachers C. parents D. website designers ‎ ‎25. Which of the following is NOT considered when teenagers look for summer jobs?‎ A. Who they’d better work for. B. How much should be paid. ‎ C. Whether the jobs are safe. D. Where the workplace is. ‎ ‎26. What can we learn about http://www.kidswant-money.com?‎ A. The author set up the website. B. It gives information about educating children.‎ C. People need to pay to visit the website. D. It offers ideas for children to make money. ‎ ‎ C Most people around the world are right-handed. This also seems to be true in history. In 1799, scientists studied works of art made at different times from 1,500 B.C. to the 1950s. Most of the people shown in these works are right-handed, so the scientists guessed that right-handedness has always been common through history. Today, only about 10% to 15% of the world’s population is left-handed.‎ Why are there more right-handed people than left-handed ones? Scientists now know that a person’s two hands each have their own jobs. For most people, the hand is used to find things or ‎ hold things. The right hand is used to work with things. This is because of the different work of the two sides of the brain. The right side of the brain, which makes a person’s hands and eyes work together, controls the left hand. The left-side of the brain, which controls the right hand, is the centre for thinking and doing problems. These findings show that more artists should be left-handed, and studies have found that left-handedness is twice as common among artists as among people in other jobs.‎ No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed instead of left-handed. Scientists have found that almost 40% of the people become left-handed because their main brain is damaged when they are born. However, this doesn’t happen to everyone, so scientists guess there must be another reason why people become left-handed. One idea is that people usually get right-handed from their parents. If a person does not receive the gene(基因) for right-handedness, he / she may become either right-handed or left-handed according to the chance and the people they work or live with.‎ Though right-handedness is more common than left-handedness, people no longer think left-handed people are strange or unusual. A long time ago, left-handed children were made to use their right hands like other children, but today they don’t have to.‎ ‎27. After studying works of art made at different times in history, the scientists found _______.‎ A. the art began from 1,500 B.C.‎ B. the works of art ended in the 1950s C. most people shown in the works of art are right-handed D. most people shown in the works of art are left-handed ‎28. What is the hand for most people used to do?‎ A. It’s used to find or hold things.‎ B. It’s used to work with things.‎ C. It’s used to make a person’s eyes work together.‎ D. It’s the centre for thinking and doing problems.‎ ‎29. According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?‎ A. No one really knows what makes a person become right-handed.‎ B. Left-handedness is cleverer than right-handedness.‎ C. Today children are not made to use their right hands only.‎ D. Scientists think there must be some reason why people become left-handed.‎ ‎30. The best title for this passage is _______.‎ A. Scientists’ New Inventions B. Left-handed People C. Which Hand D. Different Brains, Different Hands ‎ 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。‎ The way to lift up your mood Everyone has periods in their lives when everything seems very hard? when there's nobody to talk to and the mood (情绪)is just getting worse and worse. ___31__________‎ The first thing you should try is socializing and thinking positively. It's very hard, because usually when we feel sad we lock ourselves at home and try to think about all the bad things we have. But if you try to force yourself and call a friend for a cup of coffee, the chances for changing your mood into better are very good. Just try to avoid bad thoughts. _______32____________‎ ‎_______33_________ It could be something you wanted for a long time―a short trip, a coat, a ring or anything that could lift up your mood. It doesn't have to be costly, but it has to be good to yourself.‎ ‎   Not only giving gifts to yourself can lift up your mood. ________34________Think of your friends, family, relatives or even local charities (慈善机构), choose one person and give him/her a gift. It doesn't have to be something expensive or big. It may be just a little toy to your poor neighbour's child. Making another person feel happy will make you feel good in your heart and mind.‎ ‎   Take control of your feelings. Don't let them control you. _______35_________Just follow the advice above, and start doing something.‎ A.  Cry aloud if you feel it is necessary.‎ B.  Here are some things that may help you lift up your mood.‎ C.  Making yourself feel better isn't that hard.‎ D.  Buying things to others may be a perfect way to feel happy.‎ E.  Do your best to find someone to talk to.‎ F.  Instead, try to think about the bright side of your life.‎ G.  You should also try doing something only for yourself, something totally selfish.‎ 第三部分：语言运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节：完形填空（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，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ ‎“None of us get out of life alive, so be brave and be thankful for all the opportunities （机会）you have.” Those were 36 words said by 18-year-old Jake Bailey, a cancer patient. ‎ Bailey was in the leading position of the Students’ Union.

My grandmother used to say I was just like Polly Finnegan and I always imagined myself playing her. And I believe I could play the part well. I’d taken a year off to go traveling before university. While I was in Chile, my mother e-mailed me to say there were plans to turn the book into a film. I knew I had to go for the part. She was surprised at first, but sent my photo to the director and persuaded him to meet me. I flew back and got the part. The outdoor filming took a long time, so I got permission from the university to be away for three weeks. Once I was back at university, I got up at 6:00 a.m. to write the essays I’d missed. I didn’t tell my university friends, but they found out and thought it was great. It was a wonderful experience — I’m so lucky. ‎
