sheets around the base of his tree where he kept his bird feeder(喂鸟器). i didnt understand why until another neighbor explained to me that harold was trying to keep the squirrels（松鼠） from eating the bird food. by putting the metal sheets around the base, harold thought the squirrels wouldnt be able to climb up the tree. the next morning, the food was gone. the following week harold figured hed put the bird feeder on a string and hang it from the tip of one of the branches. i believe his thinking as that the squirrel couldnt go out to the edge of the branch because the branch wouldnt support the weight thereby（因此） not allowing the squirrel to get to the feeder. next day, you got it, the food was gone, too.i felt sorry for harold. although harold was stronger and smarter than the squirrel, he lacked the one quality that would guarantee him victory-focus. you see harold thinks about ways of preventing the squirrel from getting the food on occasion, when he has time. the squirrel, on the other hand has its mind on getting that food 24 hours a day. the squirrels survival depends on it. survival brings about, not just focus but an intense focus on solving a problem by removing an obstacle.success is not about who is stronger. success is not about who has a better gpa(平均分数). success is about who is more focused and committed to achieving their objectives. you, the reader, can compete with any person no matter who they may be. the only thing you have to do is commit yourself to focusing on the very subject that interests you. 21. harold was worried because the squirrel _. a. ate his bird food b. hurt many of his birds c. could climb the tree quickly d. reached the end of the branches22. what made the squirrel succeed according to the passage? a. its cleverness. b. its fixed attention. c. its strength. d. its very survival.23. what does the writer advise you to do if you want to succeed? a. to be brave enough to compete with others. b. to try to keep your body healthy. c. to work much harder than others. d. to put your heart into what interests you.bhalloween is a holiday celebrated on the night of october 31, before all saints day. the word “halloween” is

spring break stories.in my april holidays, i was lucky enough to take part in a school trip to vietnam. on the first part of our adventure we went on a challenging four-day trek(长途旅行) across many mountains. luckily, there were many of my classmates and teachers around. we relied on each other for support and encouragement when things got really tough. even though the trek was hard, ill never forget how beautiful the landscape was. during our trek, we got to visit a local tribe. the best part was when we played with the young kids. we showed them how to use toys like a soccer ball. they loved being with us and always had such big smiles on their faces. we left them many gifts like coloring books and sporting goods. they were so thankful and happy. i think we really made their day. by annalee del vecchio, 18,university of sydney, australiaduring spring break, i went to florida with my host family.“i want to get a tan (晒成古铜色) there!”my host sister said excitedly.it was really warm down there. my host sisters and my host brothers spent most of the daytime lying on the beach, enjoying the sun and reading a book. i didnt want a tan at all, so i wore a long sleeved shirt to hang out with them on the beach. that was kind of weird (怪异的). my host sister kelly has sensitive (敏感的) skin. her skin got burned after just a few hours in the sun. she felt sad!we went to a dance club one night. i didnt really dance a lot, but my sisters were so energetic that they danced until midnight. by li tongtong, 16, lexingtonchristianacademy in massachusetts, usamerican high school goers call

are turning eighteen during the break and will be having parties to celebrate. they tend to be held in either church halls or nightclubs. in the uk, the legal age for drinking alcohol is eighteen years old, so i am sure there will be plenty of beer, wine or even vodka (a firm favorite of mine) being drunk at the party. by miriam clark, 17, turnbullhigh school, glasgow,uk28. what did annalee

designer mikhail belvacv doesnt think that forgetting to check the weather forecast before heading out should result in you getting wet. thats why he created lampbrella, a lamp post with its own rain sensing umbrella.the designer says he came up with the idea after watching people get wet on streets in russia. “once, i was driving on a central saint petersburg street and saw the street lamps lighting up people trying to hide from the rain. i thought it would be appropriate to have a canopy(伞蓬) built into a street lamp.” he said. the lampbrella is a standard-looking street lamp fitted with an umbrella canopy. it has a built-in electric motor which can open or close the umbrella on demand. sensors(传感器) then ensure that the umbrella offers pedestrians shelter whenever it starts raining.in addition to the rain sensor, theres also a 360 motion sensor on the biberglass street lamp which detects whether anyones using the lampbrella. after three minutes of not being used the canopy is closed.according to the designer, the lampbrella would move at a relatively low speed, so as not to cause harm to the pedestrians. besides, it would be grounded to protect from possible lighting strike. each lampbrella would offer enough shelter for several people. being installed at 2 meters off the ground, it would only be a danger for the tallest of pedestrians.while there are no plans to take lampbrella into production, belyacv says he recently introduced his creation one moscow department, and insists this creation could be installed on my street where a lot of people walk but there are no canopies to provide shelter.32. for what purpose did belyacv create the lampbrella?a. to predict a heavy rain. b. to check the weather forecast. c. to protect people from the rain. d. to remind people to take an umbrella.33. what do we know from belyacvs words in paragraph 2?a. his creation was inspired by an experience.b. it rains a lot in the city of saint petersburg.c. street lamps are protected by canopies.d. he enjoyed taking walks in the rain.34. what does paragraph 5 mainly tell us about the lampbrella?a. its moving speed. b. its appearance.c. its installation. d. its safety.35. what can be inferred from the last paragraph?a. the designer will open a company to promote his product.b. the lampbrella could be put into immediate production.c. the designer is confident that his creation is practical.d. the lampbrella would be put on show in moscow.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。注意：e，涂ab；f，涂ac；g，涂ad。the internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where weve never been before.but just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when online. 36 imagine how youd feel if you were in the other persons shoes.for anything youre about to send: ask yourself, “would i say this to the persons face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread. 37 if someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. 38 you should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages. if it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room. 39 offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. when someone makes a mistake, whether its a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. if its a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. having good manners yourself doesnt give you license to correct everyone else. 40 at the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.it is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, dont ask such questions.a. everyone was new to the network once.b. the basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.c. but try not to do so. d. when you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear. e. repeat the process till you feel sure that youd feel comfortable saying the words to the persons face.f. if you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.g. its natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.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）things have been kind of tough lately for shannon baker and her little family. they have each others parents and young daughter
