“dad, you know ive never 39 with you before. i begged you but you 40 wanted to. how about right now?” i waited for the 41 refusalbut instead, he considered thoughtfully and then said, “lets hit the floor and ill 42 you just what kind of moves an old guy like me can still make.” my father took me in his 43 and i felt overcome by emotion. as we danced i looked up at my father carefully but he 44

hard on people. sometimes owners forget that their cats are just as used to the warm shelter (住所) as they are. some owners will leave their animals outside for a long period of time, thinking that all animals are used to living outdoors. this can put their pets in danger of serious illness. there are things you can do to keep your animal warm and safe.keep your pets inside as much as you can when the weather is bad. if you have to take them out, stay outside with them. when youre cold enough to go inside, they probably are too. if you must leave them outside for a long time, make sure they have a warm, solid shelter against the wind, thick bedding, and plenty of non-frozen water.if left alone outside, dogs and cats can be very smart in their search for warm shelter. they can dig into snow banks or hide somewhere. watch them closely when they are left outdoors, and provide them with shelter of good quality. keep an eye on your pets water. sometimes owners dont realize that a water bowl has frozen and their pet cant get anything to drink. animals that dont have clean and unfrozen water may drink dirty water outside, which may contain something unhealthy for them.56. what do we learn about pets from paragraph 1?a. they are often forgotten by their owners.b. they are used to living outdoorsc. they build their own shelter.d. they like to stay in warm places.57. why are pet owners asked to stay with their pets when they are out in cold weather?a. to know when to bring them inside.b. to keep them from eating bad food.c. to help them find shelters.d. to keep them company.58. what is the purpose of this text?a. to solve a problem.b. to give practical advice.c. to tell an interesting story.d. to present a research result. (b)you may think that sailing is a difficult sport, but it is really not hard to learn it. you do not need to be strong. but you need to be quick. and you need to understand a few basic rules about the wind.first, you must ask yourself, “where is the wind coming from? is it coming from ahead or behind or from the side?” you must think about this all the time on the boat. the wind direction tells you what to do with the sail.lets start with the wind blowing from the behind. this means the wind and the boat are going in the same direction. then you must always keep the sail outside the boat. it should be at a 90 angle (角度) to the boat. then it will catch the wind best.if the wind is blowing from the side, it is blowing across the boat. in this case, you must keep the sail half way outside the boat. it should be at a 45 angle to the boat. it needs to be out far enough to catch the wind, but it shouldnt flap (摆动). it shouldnt look like on a flagpole. if it is flapping, it is probably out too far, and the boat will slow down.sailing into the wind is not possible. if you try, the sail will flap and the boat will stop. you may want to go in that direction. it is possible, but you cant go in a straight line. you must go first in one direction and then in another. this is called tacking. when you are tacking, you must always keep the sail inside the boat.59. what should you consider first while sailing?a. sailors strength.b. wave levels.c. wind directions.d. size of sails.60. what does the word “it” underlined in paragraph 4 refer to?a. the boat.b. the wind.c. the sail.d. the angle.61. what do you have to do when sailing against the wind?a. move in a straight line.b. allow the sail to flap.c. lower the sail.d. tack the boat.62. where can you probably find the text?a. in a popular magazine.b. in a tourist guidebook.c. in a physics textbook.d. in an official report. (c)facial expressions carry meaning that is determined by situations and relationships. for example, in american culture (文化) the smile is in general an expression of pleasure. yet it also has other uses. a womans smile at a police officer does not carry the same meaning as the smile she gives to a young child. a smile may show love or politeness. it can also hide true feelings. it often causes confusion (困惑) across cultures. for example, many people in russia smiling at strangers in public to be unusual and even improper. yet many americans smile freely at strangers in public places (although this is less common in big cities). some russians believe that americans smile in the wrong places; some americans believe that russians dont smile enough. in southeast asian culture, a smile is frequently used to cover painful feelings. vietnamese people may tell a sad story but end the story with a smile.our faces show emotions (情感), but we should not attempt to “read” people from another culture as we would “read” someone from our own culture. the fact that members of one culture do not express their emotions as openly as do members of another does not mean that they do not experience emotions. rather, there are cultural differences in the amount of facial expressions permitted. for example, in public and in formal situations many japanese do not show their emotions as freely as americans do. when with friends, japanese and americans seem to show their emotions similarly.it is difficult to generalize about americans and facial expressiveness because of personal and cultural differences in the united states. people from certain cultural backgrounds in the united states seem to be more facially expressive than others. the key is to try not to judge people whose ways of showing emotion are different. if we judge according to our own cultural habits, we may make the mistake of “reading” the other person incorrectly.63. what does the smile usually mean in the u.s.?a. love.b. politeness.c. joy.d. thankfulness.64. the author mentions the smile of the vietnamese to prove that smile can _ .a. show friendliness to strangers b. be used to hide true feelingsc. be used in the wrong placesd. show personal habits65. what should we do before attempting to “read” people?a. learn about their relations with others.b. understand their cultural backgrounds.c. find out about their past experience.d. figure out what they will do next.66. what would be the best title for the test?a. cultural differencesb. smiles and relationshipc. facial expressivenessd. habits and emotions(d)make up your mind to succeedkind-hearted parents have unknowingly left their children defenseless against failure. the generation born between 1980 and 2001 grew up playing sports where scores and performance were played down because “everyones winner.” and their report cards sounded more positive (正面的) than ever before. as a result, stanford university professor carol dweck, phd, calls them “the overpraised generation.”dweck has been studying how people deal with failure for 40 years. her research has led her to find out two clearly different mind-sets that have a great effect on how we react to it. heres how they work:a fixed mind-set is grounded in the belief that talent (才能) is genetic youre a born artist, point guard, or numbers person. the fixed mind-set believes hes sure to succeed without much effort and regards failure as personal shame. when things get difficult, hes quick to blame, lie, and even stay away from future difficulties.on the other hand, a growth mind-set believes that no talent is entirely heaven-sent and that effort and learning make everything possible. because the ego (自尊) isnt on the line as much, the growth mind-set sees failure as a chance rather than shame. when faced with a difficulty, hes quick to rethink, change and try again. in fact, he enjoys this experience.we are all born with growth mind-sets. (otherwise, we wouldnt be able to live in the world.) but parents, teachers, and instructors often push us into fixed mind-sets by encouraging certain actions and misdirecting praise. dwecks book, mind-set: the new psychology of success, and online instructional program explain this in depth. but she says there are many little things you can start doing today to make sure that your children, grandchildren and even you are never defeated by failure.67. what does the author think about the present generation?a. they dont do well at school.b. they are often misunderstood.c. they are eager to win in sports.d. they are given too much praise.68. a fixed mind-set person is probably one who _ .a. doesnt want to work hardb. cares a lot about personal safetyc. cannot share his ideas with othersd. can succeed with the help of teachers69. what does the growth mind-set believe?a. admitting failure is shameful.b. talent comes with ones birth.c. scores should be highly valued.d. getting over difficulties is enjoyable.70. what should parents do for their children based on dwecks study?a. encourage them to learn from failures.b. prevent them from making mistakes.c. guide them in doing little things.d. help them grow with praise.第二节:（共5小题, 每小题2分，共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。 friends play an important part in our lives, and although we may take the fact of friendship for granted, we often dont clearly understand how we make friends. while we get on well with a number of people, 71 .moreover, a great many relationships come under the general term “friendship”. in all cases, two people like one another and enjoy being together, but beyond that, the degree of closeness between them and the reasons for their interest in each other change greatly. at the beginning, much depends on how people meet, and on good first impressions. as we get to know people, 72 . although these factors are not of the greatest importance, it is more difficult to have a good relationship with people when there is a big difference in age a
