The old man was really _ at fishing and it didnt take long for him to catch a full basket of fish. The old man saw that the child was very cute, and he wanted to give her a whole _ of fish. But the child _. The old man was_, “Oh, you dont want the fish!”The child said, “I want the fishing rod (竿) in your hands.”The old man asked, “_ do you want the rod?”“Because it doesnt take long to eat all the fish in a basket. But if I have the fishing rod, I can go fishing _ myself and I wont be afraid of not having any more fish to eat.”I think you will say that the child is very smart. Wrong! If she doesnt know any fishing skills, she cannot have fish to eat, _ she has the fishing rod. Its not useful to only have a fishing rod. Fishing skills are the _ important, not the fish or the fishing rod.Too many people think that if they have a “fishing rod” in _ life, they will be no longer afraid of the wind and rain. They are just like the child, and they think that if they have a fishing rod, they will have fish to eat.21 . AreadingBsailingCfishingDpainting22 . AgoodBpoorCbadDawful23 . AbowlBcupCglassDbasket24 .

The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obamas “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard workthat your ticket to success is through pop music or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, youre not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard. You wont love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem rather important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.Thats OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones whove had the most failures (the opposite of success). JK Rowlings first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you cant let your failures beat(打败) youyou have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.No ones born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.Dont be afraid to ask questions. Dont be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isnt a sign of weakness; its a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to tell when you dont know something, and to learn something new.And even when youre struggling(奋斗), even when youre discouraged (泄气), and you feel other people have given up on youdont ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.31 . Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the third paragraph?ATo compare these two famous persons.BTo explain that the more failures he has, the more successful he is.CIf you want to be successful, you should fail first.DTo show that failure is the mother of success.32 . Which of the following statements is NOT true?ANo one can be successful without working hard.BFailure can be good if you treat it in a right way.CThose who believe in themselves shouldnt ask others for help.DOne should try his best to make his dream come true.33 . Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined sentence?AOne shouldnt ask questions because it is a sign of strength.BOne should believe in himself though he will face much difficulty.COne doesnt have to work hard when he has failed several times.DOne doesnt have to ask for help because it is a sign of weakness.My dog and I take walk down the street，And we say "hello" to people we meetTheres Mike the baker， outside of his shopAs we get closer he tells us to stopHe gives me a piece of freshly baked cake，And out of his pocket a biscuit for JakeTheres Mrs McGinn， a teacher from schoolShe has two children， a dog and a poolSay "hi" to Rory， who works on his truckIt wont get started so we wish him luckAlong comes Bridget who just learned to driveShe gives Jake a pat and me a highfiveWere back from our walk， the mail truck now parksI know that its there since Jake always barksIts Bill the mailman who never comes lateArriving at noon， he opens the gate"Heres your mail now for house number three""Does Jake save that bark for when he sees me？"34 .

Do you have the same facial expressions as people from different cultures?New research suggests that there are only four basic facial expressions of emotion.However, how these expressions are understood might depend on where you are from.Research by scientists from the University of Glasgow has challenged the traditional view of how the face expresses emotions. Until now, it was widely believed that six basic emotions happiness, sadness, fear, anger, surprise and disgust (厌恶), were expressed and recognized across different cultures. However, the University of Glasgows work now suggests that the human face only has four basic expressions of emotion. This is because some pairs of emotions are impossible to distinguish, especially when they are first expressing on the face. Fear and surprise, for example,both share wide-open eyes. The facial expressions for anger and disgust also look thesame.So if our faces are only able to express four basic emotions, how do we communicate more complex (复杂的) feelings? The study found that the way expressions are explained is different in different cultures. Lead researcher Dr Rachael Jack was studying this because “facial expressions were considered to be general”, she explains. However, while looking at how people from the East and West look at different parts of the face during facial expression recognition, they found that although there are some common characteristics across cultures, the six basic facial expressions of emotion are not recognized by everyone.“We said we dont know what a disgust face looks like in China, so the best way to go about that is to make all combinations (组合) of facial movements and show to Chinese researchers and ask them to choose the ones they think are disgust faces.”With the software they developed, they discovered that in the early stages of signaling emotion, fear and surprise, and anger and disgust, were often confused. Jack explains that these facial expressions have developed both from biology and social evolution(进化).What interests people about the cross-cultural aspect of the research? “This work leads to understanding which emotions we share, realizing our differences and calling attention to our multicultural experiences.” This research could advise new ways of social communication that improve cross-cultural interactions.37 . What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?ATo show interest in different cultures.BTo express the worries about emotions.CTo lead in the topic of facial expressions.DTo give an example of facial expressions.38 . The word “distinguish” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.AexpressBexplainCdifferentiateDdevelop39 . According to the passage, Dr Rachael agrees that _.Afacial expressions are easy to understand in JapanBthe way expressions are understood is different in ChinaCnew ways of social communication can improve movementsDits difficult to understand all the facial expressions of emotion40 . What can we learn from the passage?AWe can express our emotions in four different ways.BFacial expressions of emotion can be discovered easily.CFacial expressions of emotion are from different countries.DFacial expressions are explained differently in different cultures.四、根据首字母、中文提示填空A. 根据汉语、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词的正确形式。41 .
