B Once upon a time, there was a beautiful bird, which was very curious about hell. When she was little, her mother always told her that if she didnt master the flying skills, she would go to hell. She was so curious about hell that she always asked others what hell looked like, but no one was sure, because none of them had ever been there. Some said hell was a place full of water, and others told her that hell was full of burning fire. However ,the bird knew they were lying. She wanted to find out what hell was. When other birds were learning flying skills, she always hid herself and watched them. She thought in this way she could go to hell and see what hell looked like. However, she spent so little time learning flying skills that one day she was caught by a little boy. The little boy gave her to his grandpa in the countryside as a gift. The old man liked her very much. He made a delicate cage and put her in it. The bird was very worried because she thought she couldnt find out what hell was like staying in this small cage. However, she couldnt escape. Day after day, she just stayed in the cage, watching other birds flying. She lost her freedom and she became sadder and sadder. At last, she became ill. The old man finally opened the cage, but she was too weak to fly. Lying on the ground, she thought of the question that she ever asked all the time. “What does hell look like?” “Hell is a small well-decorated cage.” Before she closed her eyes forever, she finally answered that question herself. 25.

According to the passage, the bird at last found out that _. A. hell was full of burning fire. B. there was no hell.C. hell was a small well-decorated cage. D. hell was a place full of water. C I was in a terrible mood. Two of my friends had gone to the movies the night before and hadnt invited me. I was in my room thinking of ways to make them sorry when my father came in. “Want to go for a ride, today, Beck? Its a beautiful day.” “No! Leave me alone!” Those were the last words I said to him that morning. My friends called and invited me to go to the mall with them a few hours later. I forgot to be mad at them and I came home to find a note on the table. My mother put it where I would be sure to see it. “Dad has had an accident. Please meet us at Highland Park Hospital”. When I reached the hospital, my mother came out and told me my fathers injuries were extensive. “Your father told the driver to leave him alone and just call 911, thank God! If he had moved Daddy, theres no telling what might have happened. A broken rib(肋骨)might have pierced(穿透)a lung.” My mother may have said more, but I didnt hear. I didnt hear anything except those terrible words: Leave me alone. My dad said them to save himself from being hurt more. How much had I hurt him when I hurled those words at him earlier in the day? It was several days later that he was finally able to have a conversation. I held his hand gently, afraid of hurting him. “Daddy I am so sorry” “Its okay, sweetheart. Ill be okay. ” “No,” I said, “I mean about what I said to you that day. You know, that morning?” My father could no more tell a lie than he could fly. He looked at me and said. “Sweetheart, I dont remember anything about that day, not before, during or after the accident. But I remember kissing you goodnight the night before. ”He managed a weak smile. My English teacher once told me that words have immeasurable power. They can hurt or they can heal. And we all have the power to choose our words. I intend to do that very carefully from now on.28.The author was in bad mood that morning because _.A.his father had a terrible accidentB.he couldnt drive to the mall with his friends.C.his friends hadnt invited him to the cinemaD.his father didnt allow him to go out with his friends29.Why did the author say sorry to his father in the hospital?A.Because he didnt go along with his father.B.Because he was rude to his father that morning.C.Because he failed to e earlier after the accident.D.Because he couldnt look after his father in the hospital.30.The reason why the authors father said he forgot everything about that day is that _.A. he had a poor memoryB. he didnt hear what his son saidC. he just wanted to fort his sonD. he lost his memory after the accident31.What lesson did Beck learn from the matter?A. Dont treat your parents badly.B. Dont hurt others with rude words.C. Dont move the injured in an accident.D. Dont be angry with friends at small things.DNo poem should ever be discussed or “analyzed”, until it has been read aloud by someone, teacher or student. Better still, perhaps, is the practice of reading it twice, once at the beginning of the discussion and once at the end, so the sound of the poem is the last thing one hears of it.All discussions of poetry are, in fact, preparations for reading it aloud, and the reading of the poem is, finally, the most telling “interpretation（解释）” of it, suggesting tone, rhythm, and meaning all at once.Hearing a poet read the work in his or her own voice, on records or on films, is obviously a special reward. But even those aids to teaching cannot replace the student and teacher reading or, best of all, reciting（背诵）it.I have e to think, in fact, that time spent reading a poem aloud is much more important than “analyzing” it, if there isnt time for both. I think one of our goals as teachers of English is to have students love poetry. Poetry is “a criticism of life”, and “a heightening（提升）of life”, It is “an approach to the truth of feeling”, and it “can save your life”. It also deserves a place in the teaching of language and literature more central than it presently occupies.I am not saying that every English teacher must teach poetry. Those who dont like it should not be forced to put that dislike on anyone else. But those, who do teach poetry must keep in mind a few things about its essential nature, about its sound as well as its sense, and they must make room in the classroom for hearing poetry as well as thinking about it.32. What is the better way to have a better understanding of a poem?A. Discussing it with others.B. Practising reading it aloud.C. Hearing the poet read out.D. Analyzing it by oneself.33. According to the author, one of the purposes of teaching English is getting students _.A. to like poetryB. to criticize lifeC. to enjoy lifeD. to teach poetry34. The underlined word “make room” probably means _A. to build a boothB. to provide equipmentC. to learn a certain amount of timeD. to set aside enough space35. The passage is mainly about _.A. teaching poetryB. discussing poetryC. reading a poemD. reciting a poem第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分,满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。 How to be safe when you are travelling on your own1.Be sure to arrive during daytime _36_ People looking to prey (欺骗)on tourists can do it with ease at night.
