For her to back off you know, just give me some space. It all started the summer before second grade when our moving van(家具搬運車) pulled into her neighborhood. Did we invite her to get into our moving van and start climbing all over boxes? No! But thats exactly what she did, taking over and showing off like only Julie Baker can. My dad tried to stop her. “Hey!” he said as she was jumping on board. “What are you doing? Youre getting dirt everywhere!” She didnt leave, though. Instead, she planted herself on the floor and started pushing a big box with her feet. “Dont you want some help?” She looked my way. “It sure looks like you need it.” “Hey! Dont do that,” my dad warned her. “There are some really valuable things in that box.” “Oh. Well, how about this one?” She moved swiftly over to another box and looked my way again. “We should push it together!” “No, no, no!” my dad said, then pulled her up by the arm. “Why dont you run along home? Your mothers probably wondering where you are.” “Oh, my mom knows where I am. She said it was fine.” Then she pointed across the street and said, “We just live right over there.” My father looked to where she was pointing and sighed(嘆息), “Oh, boy.” Then he looked at me and winked(眨眼) as he said, “Bryce, isnt it time for you to go inside and help your mother?”I knew right off what that meant, and man, he didnt have to wink twice. I smiled and said, “Sure thing!” then jumped off the liftgate and headed for my new front door. I heard her coming after me but I couldnt believe it. Maybe it just sounded like she was running after me; maybe she was really going other way. But before I took up the courage to look, she ran right past me, grabbed my arm and fiercely pulled me along. This was too much. I stopped running and was about to tell her to get lost when the weirdest(詭異的) thing happened. I was making this big circle move to break away from her, but somehow my hand ended up tangling(纏結) into hers. I couldnt believe it. There I was, holding the dirty monkeys hand! I tried to shake her off, but she just held on tight and pulled me along, saying, “Come on!”21. When did Bryce and Julie Baker first meet?A. In the summer vacation after second grade.B. In the summer before the moving van came.C. When Bryces family moved to Julies neighborhood.D. When Julies family was ready to move out of the neighborhood.22. What did Bryce and his dad think of Julie Baker?A. Julie Baker was a dirty trouble-maker.B. Julie Baker was a lovely and active girl.C. Julie Baker was a very friendly neighbor.D. Julie Baker was a warm-hearted and helpful girl.23. Why did Bryces dad wink at him as he talked?A. He wanted to play a joke on Bryce.B. He tried to persuade Bryce to help his mother.C. He planned with Bryce to fool Julie to leave them.D. He meant to cheat Bryce and Julie to go back home. 24. What would probably happen next?A. Bryce and Julie would have a fight.B. Julie would go back to her own home.C. Bryce and Julie would play together like friends.D. Julie would follow Bryce to his home to help his mother.BI have received many Christmas gifts over the years. The best gift I ever received was presented to me by a stranger. I never even knew his name and I only had contact with him for less than 60 seconds. His Christmas present to me changed the way I think about people and about Christmas.I hate Black Friday sales. Its often a gathering of people who are there for many different reasons. Some are looking for a deal on that one item for their loved one, or perhaps themselves. Their purposes completely have nothing to do with the festive time of year, and can just be summed up with one word, “Cheap!”It was several years ago when my wife asked me to meet her at the local department store on Black Friday morning. They had advertised a childs bike that she wanted to purchase for our son. We stood with a very large crowd, waiting for the manager to blow the whistle(口哨). I told my wife that if we got a bike, fine, but if we did not, I was OK with that too.As the number of bikes began to gradually decrease, I saw my “polite” opportunity to reach my hands around the corner of one of the boxes. I lifted it and suddenly felt some mild resistance(阻力). I looked up to see one of the largest gentlemen I had ever seen in my life. Frightening was not the word to describe his appearance. He was wearing lots of straps of metal spiked leather(帶有柳釘?shù)钠? around both arms and even his neck. Still, tattoos(紋身) were an obvious love of his.I started to return the box but he gently pushed it back in my direction and back into my hands. He then directed it into my shopping cart. He looked at me, smiled, and said, “Merry Christmas.” All the way home I was thinking that this moment was by far the best Christmas gift I had ever received. The kindness of a stranger that broke all prejudice(偏見) I may have had of certain types of people. The softness of a human heart can be seen in a simple act. I will never forget it.25. What may be the best title of the passage?A. The Best Christmas Gift.B. A Childs Bike.C. Black Friday Sales.D. A Handsome Stranger.26. Why do many people go to Black Friday sales?A. Because they can make money.B. Because they hope to find a bargain.C. Because its a way to celebrate Christmas.D. Because its a place to get things free of charge.27. What does the underlined word “purchase” mean in Paragraph 3?A. devoteB. solve C. buy D. save28. What can we learn from the passage?A. All roads lead to Rome.B. Its never too old to study.C. You cannot clap with one hand.D. Men cannot be judged by their appearances.CIf you are hungry, what do you do? Have your favorite meal and stay quiet after that? Just like your stomach, your mind is also hungry. But it never lets you know, because, you keep it busy thinking about your friends or favorite stars. So it silently serves your needs and never lets itself grow. When mind loses its freedom to grow, creativity(創(chuàng)造性) sets a full stop. This might be the reason why we all sometimes think “What happens next?”, “Why cant I think?”Hunger of the mind can be actually solved through wide reading. Why reading but not watching TV? It is because reading has been the most educative tool used by us right from childhood. Since it develops other ways of our life, we have to take help from reading.Once you read a book, you run your eyes through the lines and your mind tries to explain something to you. The interesting part of the book is stored in your mind as a seed(種子). Now this seed is unknowingly used by you to develop new ideas. If it is used many times, the same seed can give you great help to relate a lot of things, which you would have never thought of in your wildest dreams!This is nothing but creativity. Also this makes a huge contribution to your vocabulary. Within no time you can start talking with your friends in English or any other language and never run out of the right words.So guys, do give food for your thoughts by reading, reading and more reading. Now what are you waiting for? Go and get a book!29. When your mind is hungry, the best way is .A. thinking B. eatingC. readingD. watching TV30.

Whats the purpose of the passage?A. To introduce a book.B. To persuade us to read.C. To explain hunger of mind.D.

The passage is mainly talking about .A. Chinese netizens lifeB. the imaginations of BBCs newsC. BBCs new terms in its vocabularyD. strange words created by Chinese netizens34.

All the questions on the answer page are unfamiliar to him, and when the results come back, the student realizes that he has failed. 36 . By copying the work of others, he can ruin his grade as well as his future.Most people have cheated at least once in their lives, whether it was for missed or incomplete work, or even just for credit (分數(shù)) that they didnt deserve. 37 .

If a student continues cheating, then it may become a habit in the future. 38 . We all have brains that we can use, and also, our teachers and parents can help us. 39 . In the beginning when the student is in primary school, cheating may only lead to losing credit. In middle school, there will be parent-teacher conferences. But in high school, college, and the rest of a persons life, cheating will not be ignored.Of all things, taking credit for other peoples work is not only unnecessary, but quite unreasonable as well.

I was a young dad sitting on the couch reading a fairy tale to my little girl. She sat next to me with her head on my arm as I 41 the tale. When it came to the end I 42 with those famous words, “And they lived happily ever 43 .” As I looked over to her with her wavy, brown hair and big, innocent eyes I could see the 44 on her face and I never wanted it to end. It dawned(漸漸明白) on me then that the 45 of the book was what I wanted for her. I wanted her to “l(fā)ive happily ever after.”Still, deep in my 46 I knew that this couldnt always be so. I knew that there would be 47 when her heart was broken. I knew there would be times when she cried in grief(悲痛) and I couldnt 48 her. I knew there would be times when 49 she felt was fear, sadness, sorrow, and despair. As I touched her hair and smiled at her I hoped that those times would be 50 and that she would have 51 in her life more often than not. Living happily ever after, though, seemed out of the 52 .It 53 me a lot of years to realize that it is 54 to live happily ever after. You just have to do it “one day at a time.” 55 you see isnt some reward that you get at the end of your journey. Happiness isnt something depending on what life 56 you. Happiness is 57 you create in your life choice by choice and day by day.The truth is happiness 58 when you love. Love is a gift from God. It is love that 59 broken hearts. It is love that 60 pain. It is love that gives us joy.
