1 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写一段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Last weekend, I went to Mark’s new house near a forest for a little get-together. After lunch when I was chatting with him and his wife Cody, he asked me, “Hey, Thora, have you ever been to a secret spot?” Before I could even finish saying no, Cody and Mark were already at the door with their jackets on. And the next moment we were heading out into the forest with a camera, a fishing net and a plastic bucket (桶).

We walked through the forest along a path by a small river. Breathing the fresh air, we three talked and laughed all the way.

“Hey! What are you guys doing ?” someone suddenly shouted from behind. Mark and Cody’s eyes immediately widened, and without a word they started running. I had no choice but to follow them, getting my shoes wet and dirty with mud. We probably ran for about 10 minutes before Mark and Cody slowed down. I stopped to catch my breath and asked, “Who was that?”

Mark replied, “The most annoying neighbor ever. There’s no telling what could happen if he caught up with us. He is always making fun of us. I dislike him.” We kept walking on for a few more minutes. Then a beautiful lake appeared before our eyes. “Wow! Amazing!” I shouted and could hardly hold back my excitement. The lake was large and the water was deep and blue, looking so peaceful with tall trees around it.

4 . 阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

“Once there was a ship travelling on the tough sea and on the ship there was a pair of couple. All of a sudden, the ship met with an accident and the couple had no choice but to run to the life boat without delay. After reaching there, they realized that there was space only for one person. At that very moment, the husband pushed his wife behind him and jumped onto the lifeboat himself, leaving his wife standing on the sinking ship, shouting something desperately to her husband eyes filled with tears.”

The teacher stopped her story-telling and asked her students, “Guys, guess what it was that she shouted.”

Most students answered. “I hate you!”

After listening to all this reply, the teacher glanced through the whole class again and noticed that there was a boy sitting silently throughout. Then she asked him the same question.

The boy answered, “I believe she would have shouted-Take care of our child.”

Listening to his remarks, the teacher was surprised and asked the boy doubtfully. “Have you heard of this story before?”

Shaking his head, the boy said softly and sadly, “No, I haven’t. But that’s what my mother said to my father before she died of a deadly disease.”

Moved and feeling sad, the teacher replied. “Your answer is absolutely right!”

Then she continued, “Let’s take up the story. The ship sank eventually and the husband went home and brought up their daughter alone. Many years later after the death of the man, their daughter was tidying up all his belongings when she found his diary. In his diary she found that when her parents were on the ship, her mother had already been diagnosed (诊断) with advanced illness and at the critical moment, the father rushed to the only chance of survival.”

5 . As humanity has got richer, animal’s roles have changed. People need their services less than before. Fewer wolves and thieves meant less demand for dogs for protection; the internal combustion engine（内燃机）made horses unneeded; modern sanitation（卫生设备）kept rats in check and made cats less useful. No longer necessities, domestic animals became luxuries. Pet-keeping seems to kick in when household incomes rise above roughly $5,000. It is booming.

The trend is not a new one. Archaeologists（考古学家）have found 10,000-year-old graves in which dogs and people are buried together. Some cultures -- such as in Scandinavia, where dogs have long been both working dogs and companions -- have kept pets for thousands of years. But these days the pet-keeping urge has spread even to parts of the world which have no tradition of sinking into a comfortable chair with a furry creature.

The pet business is growing even faster than pet numbers, because people are spending more and more money on them. No longer are they food - waste - recyclers, fed with the remains that fall from their masters’ tables. Pet - food shelves are full of delicacies crafted to satisfy a range of appetites, including ice cream for dogs and foods for pets that are old, diabetic or suffer from sensitive digestion; a number of internet services offer food, tailored to the pet’s individual tastes.

In the business this is called “pet humanisation” -- the tendency of pet owners to treat their pets as part of the family. This is evident in the names given to dogs, which have evolved from Fido, Rex and Spot to -- in America -- Bella, Lucy and Max. It is evident in the growing market for pet clothing, pet grooming and pet hotels.

People still assume that pets must be working for humanity in some way, perhaps making people healthier or less anxious. But the evidence for that is weak. Rather, new research suggests that dogs have evolved those irresistible “puppy - dog eyes” precisely to affect human emotions. It has worked. The species that once enslaved others now works very hard to pay for the care of its pets. Sentimental（多愁善感的）Americans often refer to themselves not as cat-owners but as the cat’s “mommy” or “daddy”. South Koreans go one further, describing themselves as cat “butlers”. Watch an unlucky dog-walker trailing “his” hound（猎犬）, plastic bag in hand to pick up its mess, and you have to wonder: who’s in charge now?

1. Which of the following trends is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

A．People’s needs for animal services are decreasing.

B．Both the pet number and the pet business are growing.

C．Pets are increasingly making their owners less anxious.

D．Pet foods are more various and customized than before.

2. Which of the following is referred to as evidence of “pet humanization?”

A．The names given to pets in American families nowadays.

B．Pet’s inbuilt ability to affect emotions of their owners.

C．Human beings ever rising urge for pet-keeping.

D．Pet’s roles as both working staff and companions.

3. Which of the following statements is the author most likely to agree with?

A．Pets should be treated as equals of their human masters.

B．Human beings are getting much benefit from their pets.

C．Pet-keeping is still restricted within certain parts of the world.

D．Some pet owners spend too much money on their pets.

4. Which of the following might be the best title of the passage?

A．The Changing Roles of Animals	B．The Urge for Pet-keeping
C．Who Owns Whom	D．Love Me, Love My Dog

When I grow up, I'll work with animals. Though I don’t know exactly how I can do for the animals yet, I can at least to follow my brother. He is a excellent vet. He looks after frightened snakes.

7 . How to improve vocabulary fast

Your vocabulary refers to the words in a language you are familiar with. We should learn some ways to expand it.

Read every day.    1    . Choose reading material that is slightly above your level and keep a dictionary with you to look up words you do not know.

    2    .If you do not meet with an unfamiliar word in your daily reading, use your dictionary to search for one.

Learn the correct definition and pronunciation for each new word. Pronunciation is as important as definition because in order to add a word to your active vocabulary, you must be able to use it in speech.

Elaborate (详尽阐述) on the meaning of the word. If you have just learned the word “stubborn”, think about the neighbour who will not lend you his car.    3    .

Use your new word in speech and in writing. E-mail your sister about how your cat is stubborn about sleeping on your pillow.     4    .But the more you use it, the more fluent you will become in its use. Soon it will be a regular part of your active vocabulary.

Tell everyone you are trying to increase your vocabulary. Encourage them to ask you what your latest word is.    5    . The more you explain the meaning of a word to someone, the more likely you are to remember it.

A．Or let them ask for the definition of a new word you have used.

B．The first time you use a new word in speech it may seem strange.

C．Your vocabulary contains the words you understand.

D．Find a new word every day.

E．Imagine him shaking his head, and think of him as ‘stubborn in his refusal.”

F．The more often you read, the faster your vocabulary can grow.

8 . Your local grocery store is a psychological minefield (布雷区)，where even the bananas are ripe with mystery.

1．Southpaws (左撇子) have an invisible (看不见的) advantage

You've probably seen that stores keep go-to items—produce，meats，dairy—on the outer edge.But did you notice that most of them are set up to make you run counterclockwise (逆时针)? Ninety percent of us are right-handed，so we buy more when it's counterclockwise.You'll also often find the dairy section in the back left corner：Because dairy is likely on your list，stores make sure you take the longest route to get there.In fairness，it's also a more convenient place to put a fridge.

2．Everything is in its place

It's safe to say that nothing you see on a shelf is there by chance.The cookies on sale at the end of a passage are likely the result of smart product placement.More expensive items are usually placed at an adult's eye level，while colorful treats and other products for kids are positioned lower—to catch the attention of children.

3．Time goes by so slowly

Stores rarely have windows or clocks.With no reference to the outside world，customers can easily lose track of how long they've been there so that they can buy more.Grocery stores may use another trick to control your sense of time: small floor tiles (瓷砖)．

1. Why do stores usually put dairy in the back left corner?

A．Because it is a quiet place.

B．To attract people's attention.

C．To make people buy more.

D．Because most people are right-handed.

2. You are more likely to find toys________．

A．in corners	B．at the end of a passage
C．at an adult's eye level	D．on lower shelves

3. Why are there usually no windows or clocks in stores?

A．They are useless.	B．To make customers stay longer.
C．There is no space for them.	D．To allow customers to enjoy themselves.

4. Which can be the best title for the text?

A．Advantages of stores	B．Secrets of stores
C．How to shop in stores	D．How to operate a store
