The musical fantasy took in $362 million and your daughter has probably been more than happy to talk your ear off about it since its release.‎ Frozen brought many sing-along events at theaters and Frozen-themed birthday parties.‎ Monsters,Inc.‎ Monsters,Inc. is the story of two creatures that help power their hometown of Monstropolis with the screams of the children they scare. It features the voices of John Goodman, Billy Crystal and Steve Buscemi, and is the rare children' s film that parents could actually enjoy along with their kids.

The movie earned $374 million and was also nominated for a Best Cartoon Feature Oscar. It lost, but the filmmakers could comfort themselves by crying into a pillow made of money.‎ Toy Story 2‎ The 1999 sequel to 1995's commercially praised Toy Story, this second one finds Buzz Lightyear and the group trying to rescue their friend Woody from a cruel toy seller.

I don't even give it a second thought. In China, it's a whole other story! Here, ordering is a fun game of trial and error, and the adventure begins before the food is even served!‎ ‎ Many restaurants in central Beijing advertise "English language menus", but the translations can just add to the confusion. Although accompanying pictures can be a helpful relief, the translations often make the whole experience even more amusing. During my first few weeks in China I tried some delicious dishes with off-the-wall names. As an experiment, my friends and I would order things like "students addicted to chicken gristle (软骨)" and "red burned lion head". It was always fun to see what landed on our table. Eventually we learned that "lion head" was actually pork, and "students" are "addicted" to diced (切碎的) chicken with green pepper.‎ ‎ Recently, I came across a busy restaurant down a narrow side street in a Beijing hutong. It was lunchtime and the small room was packed with people sitting on small stools eating noodles. I was hungry and cold, and the steaming bowls looked irresistible! I sat myself down and called out for a ‎ "caidan!" In response, the waitress pointed to a wall at the back of the restaurant. The wall was full of Chinese characters describing numerous dishes. There was only one sentence in English: "crossing over the bridge noodles".‎ ‎ I had never heard of the dish and had no idea what it would taste like. I took a gamble and ordered one bowl of "crossing over the bridge noodles". A few minutes later the waitress carried over a heavy bowl full of broth (肉汤) and I quickly dug in. It was the best bowl of noodles I had ever tasted! I have been back again and again and each time I point at the one English sentence—"crossing over the bridge noodles". I always enter a restaurant in China feeling excited and a little nervous. Who knows what the next ordering adventure will show.‎ ‎24．How does the writer find the English-language menus in many of Beijing's restaurants?‎ ‎ A．Confusing but amusing. B．Easy to understand.‎ ‎ C．Boring and annoying. D．Accurate and helpful.‎ ‎25．The underlined word "gamble" in the last paragraph probably means .‎ ‎ A．taste B．look C．step D．risk ‎26．The passage deals with .‎ ‎ A．the author's favorite Chinese dishes ‎ B．the fun the author had ordering food in China's restaurant ‎ C．a comparison between Western food and Chinese food ‎ D．the correct way to translate the names of Chinese dishes into English ‎27．The passage is developed mainly in the form of .‎ ‎ A．examples and statements B．comparison and conclusion ‎ C．causes and effects D．time and description C Being forgiving to yourself and others can protect against stress and the harm it does to mental health，according to a new study in the Journal of Health Psychology．‎ Researchers looked at the effects of lifetime stress on a person’s mental health，and how more forgiving people got along compared with people who were not so forgiving．To do this，they asked 148 young adults to fill out questionnaires that assessed their levels of lifetime stress，their tendency to forgive and their mental and physical health．‎ No surprise，people with greater exposure to stress had worse mental and physical health．But ‎ the researchers also discovered that if people were highly forgiving of both themselves and others，that characteristic alone almost removed the connection between stress and mental illness．‎ ‎“It’s almost entirely erased—it’s zero，”says study author Toussaint．“If you don’t have forgiving tendencies，you feel the immediate effects of stress in a severe way．You don’t have anything to cushion you against that stress．”‎ How a forgiving personality protects a person from the influence of severe stress is hard to determine．The researchers infer that people who are more forgiving may adopt better skills to deal with stress，or their reaction to major stressors may be slow．‎ ‎ Though more research is needed to fully understand the benefits of being more forgiving，Toussaint believes“100％”that forgiveness can be learned．His own previous research has shown that saying a short prayer on forgiveness can help people take the edge off. “I think most people want to feel good and forgiveness offers you the opportunity to do that，”he says．‎ ‎28．The researchers got the effect of forgiving by_____．‎ ‎ A．analyzing questionnaires B．doing scientific experiment ‎ C．writing research papers D．communicating with 148 adults ‎29．What can we infer from the passage?‎ ‎ A．Forgiving tendencies can deal with all mental problems．‎ ‎ B．It remains unknown why forgiveness helps to reduce stress．‎ ‎ C．Toussaint’s study has completely discovered the benefits of being forgiving．‎ ‎ D．Saying a short prayer on forgiveness is the key to getting rid of stress．‎ ‎30．What does the underlined phrase“take the edge off”in the last paragraph probably mean?‎ ‎ A．Look ahead． B．Become relaxed．‎ ‎ C．Make up their mind． D．Stick to their goals．‎ ‎31．What may be the best title for the passage?‎ ‎ A．A new study on physical health ‎ B．Forgiving yourself makes you feel good ‎ ‎ C．Forgiveness is good for mental health ‎ D．Getting rid of stress is good for your health ‎ ‎ ‎ D A fly with an extremely unusual ability to hear is the model for what may be the future of new and improved hearing aids．Neal Hall is a sound engineer who worked on the new hearing aid model．He says the tiny yellow fly living in Central America and the southern United States owns special hearing structure．‎ Mr．Hall and his team at the University of Texas made a copy of the fly's hearing structure．They discovered that the fly has a clever mechanism(机制)that instead of using two independent ears, like a human would, the fly’s ears are actually coupled．‎ The fly's ears are two millimeters apart．That distance is so small that sound reaches one ear just four millionths of a second before arriving at the other．Experts say it should be impossible to identify where a sound is coming from．But inside this fly's ear there is a 1.5 millimeters long structure similar to a see-saw—a piece of children’s play equipment．‎ Like the see-saw，the fly's ear structure goes up and down from a central point．Pressure waves against the structure increase the time it takes for sound to travel, which permits the fly to identify sound easily． ‎ Mr．Hall and his team used silicon(硅)to copy the fly's ear structure．They also used special electric materials that enable them to measure its movements at the same time．‎ Hall says the hearing aid device could be used in two ways．One way would be to help the military on the battle field, where sensors could find where shots are coming from．The second way would be to remove unwanted noise from a person's surroundings．“That is a feature that is incredibly useful for hearing aids, for example, if you turn up the gain of a hearing aid to hear someone across from you, it also expands everything else in the room.”said Hall．‎ ‎32．What's the author's purpose of writing the passage?‎ ‎ A．To introduce a hearing aid based on the fly's ear structure．‎ ‎ B．To describe a fly with an unusual hearing ability．‎ ‎ C．To compare the fly’s ears with the hearing aid．‎ ‎ D．To encourage people to protect their hearing． ‎ ‎33．In which way are human's ears different from the fly's ears in structure?‎ ‎ A．Human's ears are much bigger． B．Human's ears are coupled．‎ ‎ C．Human's ears are independent． D．Human's two ears are similar．‎ ‎34．What helps the fly identify sound easily?‎ ‎ A．The strong pressure waves outside.‎ ‎ B．The central point inside its two ears． ‎ ‎ C．The special structure like a see-saw inside its ears．‎ ‎ D．The short distance between the fly’s two ears．‎ ‎35．What does the last paragraph mainly tell us about the new hearing aid?‎ ‎ A．Its shortcoming． B．Its practical function．‎ ‎ C．Its main features． D．Its future designs．‎ 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。‎ Help a local charity without giving a penny Philanthropic(博爱的)efforts do not have to be financial. 36. ___________ Regardless of how tight money is for you，you can still help others．‎ ‎●Give away your gently used things． ‎ When you clean out your closets，chances are that you'll find items you no longer need．Consider giving them to a local charity．37._______________ Toys at a homeless shelter, a kitchen table at a halfway house or maternity(孕妇的)clothes at a pregnancy center benefit the individuals who receive those services and meantime save the non-profit organizations’ money.‎ ‎●Volunteer your time． ‎ Could you spare an hour each week to volunteer in your community? 38.

circumstances ‎ ‎● 39______________________‎ If there’s a specific cause close to your heart, use your passion to let others know about it and get involved．This may mean partnering with one organization or with many, depending on the cause．40. _______________ Whether you want the world to know about the importance of wildlife ‎ conservation or how many children are waiting for forever homes, your voice matters．Your unique influence touches people and corporations that might not otherwise be made aware．Use social networking sites or letters to government officials to help find

need more than just banknotes．‎ F．Usually, people are reluctant（不情愿的）to waste time with others．‎ G．One thing is for sure：people won’t respond if they’re uninformed．‎ 第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)‎
