We set off early for a distant water holeA huge elephant，covered with dry mud，drank calmly and deeply. He might have traveled 50km to reach the water. He wasnt going to hurry now. Hed drink a while and then rest in the shade, and then drink again-or so we thought. What actually happened was that he drank deeply and stepped away. Then he suddenly fell down. Within minutes he was dead We called animal doctor Jeremiah Poghon immediately. He removed the head of a poisoned arrow from the elephants body, and let out over 100 liters of pus（脓）-the result of the elephants meeting with a poacher（偷猎者）months before Todays poacher shoots from a blind. He fires an arrow, covered with poison，into the body of an elephantIf the poacher is lucky，the elephant might die in an hour or two；if not，he might have to follow the elephant for days before it diesOften the arrow head fails to kill the elephant at once-it doesnt mean that the poison wont finally kill the elephant, but it will be a slow death. Living in Tsavo through these times，I could see the results of poaching from time to timeWhen I think about the death of that elephant，what stays with me is the extraordinary silence after the shocking sound of his body hitting the groundI took some comfort from the knowledge that as the dead body returned to the soil，some animals would benefit-but I couldnt escape the feeling that with the death of such a large animal, the world seemed a poorer and emptier place4While filming near the waterhole, the author and his team_Aknew the elephant was injuredBfound the elephant acted violentlyCtired their best to save the elephantDthought the elephant was in good condition5Further examination showed that the dead elephant_Ahad suffered a lotBhad wounds all over itChad drunk some deadly waterDhad had a good fight with a poacher6How does the author feel when thinking about the elephants death？_AEmbarrassedBFunnyCUpsetDRelieved7Why did the author write the text？_ATo introduce African elephantsBTo show the cruelty of poachingCTo describe his filming experienceDTo ask readers to protect wild animalsCI am a strong believer that if a child is raised with approval (准允), he learns to love himself and will be successful in his own way. Several weeks ago, I was doing homework with my son in the third grade and he kept standing up from his chair to go over the math lines. I kept asking him to sit down, telling him that he would concentrate better. He sat but seconds later, as if he didnt even notice he was doing it, he got up again. I was getting frustrated (受挫), but thenithit me. I started noticing his answers were much quicker and accurate when he stood up. Could he be more absorbed while standing up?This made me start questioning myself and what I had been raised to believe. I was raised to believe that a quiet, calm child was a sure way to success. This child would have the willpower to study hard, get good grades and become someone important in life.Now those same people perhaps come to realize that their kids are born with their own sets of DNA and personality qualities, and all you can do is loving and accepting them. As parents, throughout their growing years and beyond that, we need to be our kids best cheerleaders, guiding them and helping them find their way.I have stopped asking my son to sit down and concentrate. Obviously, he is concentrating just in his own way and not mine. We need to learn to accept our kids ways of doing things. Some way may have worked for me but doesnt mean we need to carry it through generations. There is nothing sweeter than being personal and unique (独特的). It makes us free and happy and thats just the way I want my kids to live their own life.8. At the beginning, the author tried to keep his son seated in order to make him_.Apay more attention to his study Bkeep silent in the roomCfinish his homework on time Dget right answers9. Inspired by the case of his son，the author began to doubt_.Athe importance of parents Bthe old form of educationCthe relationship between kids and their parents Dthe good grades of some kids10. According to the passage, which of the following statements is right?A. We should help kids correct their wrong ways.B. Parents should study their kidsDNA.C. Kids should be taught to behave themselves.D. Parents should love and accept their kids.11. Which of the following would be the best title of the passage?AStudy hard and youll be successful BBe friendly to your childrenCChildrens success in their own style DParents help with their childrens studyDWearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity. However, it seems to work in Britain. Red Nose Day (RND) is a well-known event in the UK. The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis. He wrote the series “Blackadder” as well as the famous films “Four Weddings and a Funeral” and “NottingHill. Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia. Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear! The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday. For example, many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was “Do Something Funny for Money” and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas: treating malaria, education, maternal health and mental health. The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised 74.3 million! Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in. People also donate money by post, in banks, by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND. If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions. Here are some ways that people raise money: wear theirpyjamas(睡衣) all day at work or in school, or grow a moustache or beard for a month.So, if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day, now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things! It is all for a good cause!12.

In fact, sometimes a little stress is a good thing. Here are some tips. 16 Your memory will be much better if youve had enough rest. In a scientific study , people who got enough sleep before taking a math test did better than those who stayed up all night studying.Read the test through first.Once you have the test paper in front of you, read over the entire test, checking out how long it is and all the parts you are expected to complete. This will allow you to estimate how much time you have for each section and ask the teacher any questions. 17 Focus on addressing each question individually.As you take the test, if you dont know an answer, dont worry about it. 18 Come back to it after youve answered other questions.Relax.19 Of course you cant get up and move around in the middle of a test, but you can wiggle (扭动) your fingers and toes, take four or five deep breaths, or picture yourself on a beach or some other calm places.Finished already?Although most teachers will let you hand a test in early, its usually a good idea to spend any extra time checking over your work. 20 On the other hand, if you have 5 minutes until the bell rings and youre still writing, wind up whatever youre working on without panicking.A. Instead, skip over the question.B. Listen closely to any instructions.C. Get enough sleep the night before the test.D. But some can get serious test-taking terror.E. If something seems unclear before you start, dont panic, but ask.F. If youre so nervous that you blank out, you might need a mini-break.G. You also can add details that you may not have thought youd have time for.第二部分 英语知识运用（共两小节，满分45分） 第一节 ：完形填空（共20题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）I have four daughters, one son, and twelve grandchildren.When we have get-togethers, there are twenty-four of us around the tableall 21 .
