angry. someone might say or do something that hurts us. but instead of controlling the anger, we keep it deep inside. before long, a bitter feeling begins to grow. we may think were hurting that person by criticizing (指责) him or her often, but were really only hurting ourselves.bitterness can not only lead to serious health problems such as heart disease, but also hurt our relationships with friends and family members. no one enjoys being around an angry person for very long.if you see bitterness in your life, here are some ways to deal with it. accept itinstead of trying to deny your anger, make it clear to yourself and accept it. see your anger for what it is and quickly deal with it. stop making excuses for ityou may feel you have a right to be angry. you may think youre right and the other person is wrong. you may even secretly enjoy making the other person look bad. but in the end, bitterness hurts you much more than the other person. the bitterness will hold you back, and the other person will go on with his or her life. forgive and forget it you probably cant completely put the anger out of your mind. but you can decide to forgive the other person. forget it and move on. youll enjoy better health and peace of mind. 28. bitterness comes from _. a. our health problems like heart disease b. the anger that lives deep inside our mind c. the person who says

person.clittle stream ran down from a high mountain through many villages and forests. then it reached a desert. “ i went through so many difficulties. i should have no problem crossing the desert,” she thought. as she started, she found herself slowly disappearing into the sand. after many times, she still failed. “maybe i cant reach the ocean.” she said sadly to herself.at this time, a deep voice said, “if a breeze (微风)can cross the desert, so can a river.” it was the voice of the desert. but the little stream answered, “ thats because a breeze can fly, but i cannot.”“thats because you cant give up what you are. let yourself evaporate（蒸发） into the breeze, and it can take you across,” said the desert. “give up what i am now? no! no!” the little stream could not accept this idea. “the breeze can carry the vapor（水汽） across the desert and let it leave as rain. the rain will form a river again,” said the desert, “ and whether youre a river or vapor, your nature never changes.” hearing this, this little stream went into the open arms of the breeze. it carried her to the next stage of her life.the course of our lives is like the experience of the little stream. if you want to go through difficulties in your life to head for success, you should also change the way you are.31.the little stream _ before she got to the desert. a. didnt meet much difficultyb. was worried about herself c. knew well about the desertd. was confident about herself32. the little stream finally crossed the desert by _.a. evaporating into the breezeb. forming a riverc. disappearing into the sandd. changing her nature33. what does the story mainly tell us? a. the road to success is not always easy and smooth. b. whatever others say, we should always be ourselves. c. to succeed, we should change the way we are if necessary. d. we may experience difficulties in life just like the little stream.d everyone gets sick of hearing. “put on your seat belt!”but its good advice. people who wear seat belts are 45 percent less likely to be killed while riding in the front seat of a car. the us government wants more seat belt laws. it says children aged 4 to 15 are often killed in car accidents. in 2005, there were 1,627 children aged 4 to 15 killed in car accidents. more than 1,000 of those children were not wearing seat belts. if they had been wearing seat belts, 500 of those children could be alive today. these children are too old to be in car seats, but they often sit in the back seat. seat belt laws in many states, including wisconsin, only require people in the front seat to wear seat belts. children who arent wearing seat belts can be thrown from the car. the risk of dying in an accident is three times greater if the person is thrown from the car. new laws could require children aged 4 to 8 to be in booster seats in the car. booster seats help seat belts fit children properly. right now, only 5 percent of children aged 4 to 8 are seated in booster seats(儿童座椅). while parents have the choice of whether wearing seat belts or not, children are too young to make that choice. even if you decide not to wear a seat belt, make sure you children are in seat belts and car seats. its the law and it will save their lives.34. the underlined sentence “everyone gets sick of hearing”in the first paragraph means“_”. a. there is something wrong with everyones earsb. all people fall ill when they hear somethingc. many people dont pay attention to wearing seat beltsd. none of the people knows it is a piece of good advice35. more than two-third of 1,627 children were killed because _.a. they werent using seat beltsb. they were too careful when they walked on the roadc. they were not old enough to sit in the card. they wore seat belts36. you must get your children to put on seat belts in order to _.a. keep them comfortable in the car seatb. keep them safec. keep them awake in the car all the timed. prevent all kinds of traffic accidents37. what would be the best title of this passage?a. children should put on seat belts.b. too many traffic accidents happened recently.c. traffic laws are very important.d. parents are important to children.第ii卷主观题（共40分）四、词汇运用

vegetables are grown from seeds(种子) that have been taken to and brought back from outer space. the seeds are affected by radiation and low gravity in outer space. when they are brought back to the earth, these seeds produce vegetables that are bigger, healthier and more nutritious (有营养的)than normal vegetables. however, some people worry about eating space vegetables. they think that space vegetables might not be good for us and could give us cancer as a result of their exposure (暴露)to radiation in space. people should not be scared, as space vegetables are actually perfectly healthy.here are some facts that you should know about space vegetables:space vegetables are grown from seeds that are carefully selected. when seeds are brought back from space, they are tested to make sure that the vegetables they grow will be safe to eat. there are no traces of radiation after testing.space vegetables are better for you than normal vegetables. for example, space tomatoes stay fresh for twenty days, which is one week longer than normal tomatoes. another popular space vegetable is the pepper(辣椒). space peppers contain 20 per cent more vitamin c than normal peppers.after genetically modified(改进的) foods come onto the market, people worry that they are eating unknown things. for example, if nut genes are put inside potatoes, people allergic(对.过敏) to nuts might get very sick from eating these potatoes because they do not know they are also eating nuts. unlike genetically modified foods, space vegetables have not been genetically changed. this means that no new genes are put into the vegetables. therefore, they wont damage your health.space vegetablesspace vegetables are healthy, good and safe for you to eat.steps taken to ensure the quality of space
