One day, he climbed up to the top of a tree to get the sweetest mangoes, where the branches(枝条) were thin. He picked a few fruits. But when trying to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught a branch and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call for help. Some villagers immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then a wise man arrived. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous for solving peoples problems in the area. He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man. Everybody was surprised. The hanging man started to shout, “What are you doing? Are you crazy? If I could just come down, I would give you a good beat!”He then used all his skill and strength to reach the branches which were safe to land. Finally he made it! Everybody was amazed. “Where is the old man?”shouted the angry man. “Oh, he didnt wait for you to beat him,”said a villager. “I will beat him hard!”shouted the man. Then someone said, “Hey, wait a minute. He is the only one who helped you. He is the one who provoked you and led you to help yourself.”The man thought for a moment and admitted, “Yes, he led me to try my best and save myself.”4.

Which of the following can best replace the underlined word in Para.3?A. Excited. B. Surprised C. Angered. D. Cheered.CYour house may have an effect on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you pack on the pounds or keep them off. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of your diet plan.Open the curtains and turn up the lights. Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating, for people are often less self-conscious(难为情) when theyre in poorly lit places and so more likely to eat lots of food. If your home doesnt have enough window light, get more lamps and flood the place with brightness.Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors fuel our appetites. In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more appetizing, while cold colors make us less hungry. So when its time to repaint, go blue.Dont forget the clock or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories(卡路里) per meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin keeping track of the time, and try to make dinner last at 30 minutes. And while youre at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plants can easily make us fat. We eat about 22 percent more when using a 12-inch plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one, total intake(摄入) jumps by 14 percent. And well pour about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.8. The text is especially helpful for those who care about _.A. their body shape B. their home comforts C. house buying D. healthy diets9. A home environment in blue can help people _.A. digest food better B. reduce food intake C. burn more calories D. regain their appetites10. What are people advised to do at mealtimes?A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music C. Turn down the lights D. Use smaller spoons 11.What can be a suitable title for the text?A. Ways of Serving Dinner B. Effects of Self-ConsciousnessC. Is Your House Making You Fat? D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing?D The term “helicopter parents” refers to “a style of parents who are over focused on their children”Helicopter parents are always making a big effort to provide children with every opportunity to succeed，from baby steps at age 1，homework at age 8，college application at age 18，employment issues at age 25 to family problems at age 30,40 or even older.They constantly（不断地） shadow the child，always directing his behavior，allowing him zero alone time.Helicopter parenting can develop for a number of reasons. Worries about the economy，the job market，and the world in general can push parents toward taking more control over their childs life in an attempt to protect them. Adults who felt unloved or ignored as children can overcompensate(对.补偿过多) with their own children.When parents see other over-involved parents，it can cause a similar response. They feel that if they dont involve themselves in their childrens lives，they are bad parents.The main problem with helicopter parenting is that it can backfire.To give an example，the house where Mary lived with roommates was broken into and things were stolen. Mary called the landlord (房东) to install（安装） an alarm system，but before she could finish the negotiations (协商)，her mother rushed in and demanded action.“I felt like my mother ruined my communication with our landlord. We could have gotten it done ourselves. She was well intended but only made me feel annoyed and defeated，” says Mary.Obviously，overparenting is motivated with the idea of doing good things but it does the exact opposite. In the long run parents are in fact damaging their childs basic skills to deal with matters independently. It makes the child feel lacking in confidence，less competent in dealing with the stresses of life on their own. Theyre winning the battle，but in fact losing the war.12Whats the purpose of helicopter parents overparenting?ATo make their children not ignored. BTo do something good for their children.CTo help their children find a good job. DTo get rid of the pressure from other parents.13What can we learn from the passage?AChildren who have helicopter parents live a hard life.BHelicopter parenting only happens to very young children.CHelicopter parents do their children great harm in the long run.DHelicopter parents can protect their children against all problems.14What will possibly be discussed in the paragraph that follows?AThe bad effects of helicopter parenting.BDifferent opinions about helicopter parenting.CHow we can avoid being helicopter parents.DThe reasons for the development of helicopter parents.15What is the authors attitude towards “helicopter parenting”？AUninterested. BObjective.（客观的） CPositive DDisapproving.（不同意的）第二节（共5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。Understanding and appreciating art can be hard if you dont have much experience with art. Dont worry. The following can help you get an appreciation for artwork enormously. Relax as you look at work. _16_, its best to go to the gallery or view the art when youre in a relaxed mood so that the art affects you in a positive way. Limit distractions(分神) around you, like your cell phone, and try to clear your mind of negative or stressful thoughts. _17_. Avoid saying things like “Anyone could make that”and drop previous opinions you have about the artwork before you actually see it. Try to approach the art with an open mind and dont compare it with other works, especially if its not in the same style. Ask yourself how the painting makes you feel. Instead of trying to focus on the technical aspects of the art, ask yourself how the art makes you feel. _18_, it has an effect on you. Do be honest with yourself when you describe your real feelings. Research the artists life. Some galleries have an informational plaque(牌匾) near the artwork that describes the artist. Read the informational plaque next to the artwork. This is a great way to better understand the artist and his mind when they created the art. Most art tries to express a feeling like sadness, anger, or happiness. _19_. Speak and talk with artists. Only if you like, you can find artists at their art shows. _60_. Getting their thought may give you a deeper understanding and appreciation of their work. Well now, if you still dont get art and cant appreciate it, try to create some artwork yourself. If you dont know where to start, you can look up tutorials online or take a local art class.A. Look at the artwork as objectively(客观的) as you canB. If it makes you happy, sad, anxious, or excitedC. As long as you understand the techniques used to create the artD. Since being nervous can actually affect how you enjoy artE. Take the time to speak to themF. For example, if the artist saw a war, a sad feeling may be expressed in his art G. There are different styles and types of art for you to further research第三部分 英语知识运用（共两节， 满分45分）第一节 完形填空（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四个选项（A, B, C, D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My mother only had one eye.
