He dived into the cool water, not realizing that as he swam towards the middle of the lake, a crocodile was swimming toward him.His mother in the house was looking out of the window and saw the two as they got closer and closer. In great fear, she ran toward the water, shouting to her son as loudly as she could. Hearing her voice, the little boy became alarmed and made a U-turn to swim to his mother. It was too late. Just as he reached her, the crocodile reached him. From the shore, the mother grabbed her little boy by the arms just as the crocodile snatched his legs. That began an incredible tug-of-war (拔河) between the two. The crocodile was much stronger than the mother, but the mother was much too passionate to let go. A farmer happened to drive by, heard their screams, raced from his truck, took aim and shot the crocodile. Remarkably, after weeks and weeks in the hospital, the little boy survived. His legs were extremely scarred by the attack of the animal. And, on his arms, were deep scratches where his mothers fingernails dug into his flesh in her effort to hang on to the son she loved. The newspaper reporter, who interviewed the boy, asked if he would show him his scars(伤疤). The boy lifted his legs. And then, with obvious pride, he said to the reporter, “But look at my arms. I have great scars on my arms, too. I have them because my Mom wouldnt let go.” Never judge another persons scars, because you dont know how they were made.9.

Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 16 Here are five steps that really work!Get a great graspTry this hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 17 Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食指) and middle fingers.Let the lines be your guideLined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡). 18 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.Slow down If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, its hard to control where you stop and start your letters.Lower the pressure (压力) 19 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and dont hold the pencil too tightly. 20 Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though its not schoolwork, youre still using the skills you need to control your pen better. A. Play gamesB. Ask for more adviceC. So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”. D. Youve been writing since you were a little kid.E. Some kids press down really hard when they write. F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting. G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.第二部分 语言知识运用(共两节,满分45分)第一节(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)阅读下面短文,从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中,选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。The sound of the rain hitting the windows wakes me up and it sounds just exactly as it did l5 years ago，which reminded me of my girlhoodIt was my second day of _21_and it was raining heavilyI could not _22_ the habit I had at home，so I fell asleep right at my_23_I woke up to find myself not in the classroom but carried on Dads back.
