He had to spend all day in bed, unable to _31_. Because other children werent allowed to come near him, he suffered greatly, and spent his days feeling _32_ and blue.There wasnt much he could do except looking out of the window. Time passed, and his feeling of hopelessness just _33_. Until one day he saw a strange shape in the window. It was a tiny bear eating a sausage sandwich. The bear squeezed(挤进) in through the open _34_, said good afternoon to the boy, turned around, and left.Of course, the boy was very _35_. He was still trying to work out what had happened, when outside his window he saw a monkey in a suit, busy blowing up a balloon. At first the boy asked himself what that could possibly be, but after a while, as more and more crazy-looking characters appeared out the window, he started _36_ suddenly and found it hard to stop.Anyone who wanted to stop laughing would never be helped by seeing a pig playing a drum, an elephant jumping on a sofa, or a dog wearing a pair of glasses and talking about nothing except politics. The little boy didnt tell anyone about this because no one would believe him. Even so, those strange characters ended up putting _37_ back in his heart, and in his body. Before long, his health had improved so much that he was able to go back to school again.There he got to talk to his friends, and tell them all the _38_ things he had seen. While he was talking to his best friend, he saw something jumping out of his friends school bag. The boy asked his friend what it was, and he insisted and finally his friend had to _39_ him what was in the bag: There, inside, were all the fancy-dress suits that his best friend had been using to try to _40_ the little boy up!And from that day on, the little boy always did his best to make sure that no one felt sad andalone.31.

November to FebruaryBA Man of Vision(视觉)In 1809, Louis Braille was born in a small town in France. When he was three years old, he accidentally hurt one of his eyes. The sickness spread to his other eye. Later, Louis was unable to see.Louiss parents took him out of school two years later. They thought that there was nothing more for him to learn there. He could not read or write.When he was ten years old, Louiss parents sent him to a special school in Paris. It was one of the first schools for blind people in the world. Louis learned many skills at this school. One of them was reading.Back then, blind people read by feeling raised letters on the paper. But it was difficult. Too many letters felt the same, for they had similar shapes.Louis wanted to find a better way for blind people to read. He tried to create a touch system for reading and writing. He believed a system of raised dot（小点）could help. Night Writing-a writing system for soldiers was used. But he didnt think it was good enough. This system did not allow the fingertip（指尖）to cover a whole letter. The readers had to move their fingers to feel the letter.After years of hard work, he invented a shorter, easier form of this touch system. He used six dots to form each letter. It allowed a person to feel a whole letter without moving. Blind people could read much faster and easier.Today, we call this form of written language Braille in honour of Louis Braille.Louis died in 1852. However, his form of communication lives on. Though he became blind at a young age, he insisted a lot. Instead, he overcame the difficulty, and made a big difference.45. When Louis was three years old, he _.A. was sent to a special schoolB. moved to a town in FranceC. was taken out of schoolD. hurt one of his eyes46. For blind people, feeling raised letters on the paper was difficult because _.A. they needed to learn special skillsB. they couldnt feel a whole letterC. they could not see them clearlyD. too many letters felt the same47. With Louiss system, blind people could read _.A. slowerB. easierC. harderD. louder48. According to the passage, what can we learn from Louis?A. Always follow the rules.B. Be friendly with our friends.C. Never give up and work hard.D. Communicate more with others.CA workmate of mine lives in the same street as me. He drives about 5 kilometres to work every day while I cycle the same distance almost every day. I must say that I occasionally（偶尔地） take the car if the weather is very bad, or I am very tired or in a hurry. Imagine my surprise when I cycled to work one day, went for a shower in thesports centre and saw my neighbor in the gym on the cycling machine after driving to work! I share an office with another workmate who lives near to me. She drives to work every day and, the end of the day, she drives to a gym. I dont see the logic（逻辑）. It would be much easier to cycle to work so that you have some exercise every day as part of your daily routine.I try to advise them to cycle to work, so I did some research about the benefits of cycling to work. Of course, cycling has some advantages over driving. It is cheaper, it is better for the environment, and you dont have to find a parking space. The point about the parking space is an important one as the car parks are often full. I know that my workmate sometimes spends 15 minutes looking for a parking space! It is true that cycling is a little slower than going by car, but at rush hour it doesnt make much difference. The time it takes to cycle is generally easier to predict than the time it takes to drive. When there is heavy traffic, people on bicycles can get past, while people in cars have to wait.There are clear health benefits to cycling. According to one expert, if you cycle regularly you should be as fit as a younger person. I am 47 and I still play football in a team, so I would say that his opinion is true. As well as being good for your health, cycling can reduce stress. I also find that when I cant solve a problem at work, the answer often comes to me when I am cycling.Sometimes the harder you think about a problem, the harder it is to find the solution. And you really need to pay less attention to the problems. Cycling relaxes the mind.I am going to say to my workmates two wheels good, four wheels bad every day until they get on their bikes!49. From the passage, the writer drives to work if _.A. he goes to the gymB. there is a parking spaceC. he feels very tiredD. he meets his workmate50. The writer gives the example of his neighbor to show _.A. driving to work is not logicalB. cycling to the gym is not easyC. driving to the gym is necessaryD. cycling to work is much cheaper51. We can learn from the passage that _.A. cycling makes people think harderB. cycling always saves peoples timeC. exercise on cycling machine is helpfulD. cycling regularly makes people feel young52. What is the best title of the passage?A. Get on Your Bike NowB. Get Away from the GymC. Two Ways of Going OutD. Health Benefits of CyclingDAre “Basics” Enough for Students?An American education expert says many schools are spending too much time teaching thebasics reading, math and writing. That might be different from what educators have been saying in America. But U.S. Education Secretary John King says children really need a well-rounded（全面的）education that includes music and the arts.King spoke about his own education when explaining why schools need to teach more than math, reading and writing. His parents died when he was young. He said things in his house were frightening. It was his teacher in Grades Four, Five and Six Mr. Osterweil who helped him escape fromhis difficult life at home. Each day in Mr. Osterweils class, students would read a newspaper. The teacher took him and his classmates to the theater, the zoos and famous museums.Those were powerful, life-changing experiences, King says. After he graduated from Harvard University, he took charge of New York State public schools from 2011-2015. Im alive today, Im doing the work that I do today because I had Mr. Osterweil during that period of my life, King says. Students need to connect their studies to things that matter to them, such as music, if they want to become a thinker.A 2013 report by UNESCO（联合国教科文组织）, says world needs people to be able to solve new and unusual problems now. It says arts can help students find those answers. In the report, UNESCO says teaching the arts in China, South Korea and Japan is different from that in many western countries. The educators in those three countries pay more attention on joyful experiences and childrens interests, the report says. In the West, educators are more likely to connect the arts to reading, writing and math.Comparing countries is hard because they have different ways to define success. For example some people may think getting high marks in exams is success, while others may hold different views. A 2014 survey by the Program for International Student Assessment tried to compare how well countries teach children how to solve problems. It found Singapore, South Korea, Japan, and China with the highest scores. Singapore was the top one with a score of 562 out of 1,000. The average（平均的） score was 500. The United States had a score of 508, one point behindGermany.So it may be worth rethinking what we should focus on in our class. The basics is not the only part of education.53. We can learn from the passage that _.A. Kings family life was warm and happyB. Kings teacher focused on basics moreC. educators in the West teach music for joyD. arts can help students solve new problems54. The word define in Paragraph 6 probably means_.A. get the pleasure ofB. make full use ofC. give the meaning ofD. take the place of55. The writer probably agrees that _.A. students need more than basics to learnB. getting high marks in exams is successC. education depends a lot on the hobbiesD. we need more time to learn basics七、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳 选项。每个选项只能用一次。（共 10 分，每小题 2 分）Eating habitsEating habits are different in different countries.

Lunch is taken laterin UK, at about 1 p.m. While Chinese people like a hot, filling lunch, many British people may just have a sandwich. There are also differences in the way schoolchildren eat lunch. In the past, British children ate hot lunches at school, as most children in China do now, although the food was different. Today, British schoolchildren bring their own lunches to school. They usually eat a sandwich and a piece of fruit.The evening meal is the most important meal in both countries. 59 , and so do many people in UK. After work they will have more time to eat a big dinner. In most families in UK, there is meat with two or three vegetables and then something sweet. But in China people often have more dishes, and usually with some soup.And of course, in both countries people look forward to their most important festivals: Christmas in UK, and the Spring Festival in China. 60 , there is one thing in common the happiness of being with their families and loved ones.A.
