i had to find a way to make peace with this lady.the very next day i bought some nice chocolates going to see her again and when i caught sight of her, i went straight to her and apologized telling her “i am so very sorry, but if i angered you, i had no such intention; please accept my apologizes”, and handled her the chocolates. surprised, she told me not to mind her, and apologized too. it was an awkward moment, but we made peace and the grimaces (苦相) are replaced by smiles now.i am very grateful for this experience. it shows me i still have plenty of work to do with my mind. i learned how

guitar strings. the long, thin strings on a guitar can vibrate(振动). they move back and forth, or from side to side. so do webs made by spiders. the lines of silk they produce can carry vibrations. this movement gives the small creature information about what landed on the web.spiders have eight legs and usually eight eyes. the animals build webs with their own soft, naturally-made silk. spiders catch their food, usually insects, in their web. they make small movements, which spread across their web. the vibrations can tell the spider what is theremaybe something tasty to eat.vibrations give the spider details about what is caught in the web. they can tell the spider where that next meal is, and what it might be. but vibrations are not just used to identify what is for dinner. a spider makes its own vibrations to find out the condition of the web.how do the researchers know that? they used special equipment to send out laser pulses into the web of a garden cross spider. then they used a laser to measure the very small vibrations, which spread through the web.using computer models, the scientist could show how a spider can change the size of a wave vibration. the spider does this by changing the tightness of the silk lines. the spiders then can control how information is getting to them where they hang out in the middle of the web. in a way, spiders can move their silk threads, much like a musician plays the strings of a guitar.engineers might be able to learn a thing or two from spiders. this information could help engineers better understand how structures react to energy, and how vibrations affect a building.32. what do spider webs and guitar strings have in common?a. they both shake.b. they are both strong.c. they both convey information.d. they both have the same shape.33. what does the underlined word “they” in paragraph 2 refer to?a. webs.b. spiders.c. insects.d. vibrations.34. why do spiders shake their own webs?a. to repair them.b. to check them.c. to find out insects.d. to connect with other spiders.35. what does the author think of the finding of spiders?a. it might benefit engineers.b. spiders are clever creatures.c. it helps improve playing guitar.d. humans should learn from animals.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。 have you ever wondered why people drive on a different side of the road? it might seem strange that u. k. drivers stay on the left, but theyre not the only ones. 36 originally, almost everybody traveled on the left side of the road. however their way of transport was quite different from today: 37 for medieval swordsmen on horseback, it made sense to keep to the left to have their right arms closer to their enemies. getting on or off was also easier from the left side of the horse, and safer done by the side of the road than in the center. 38 things changed in the late 1700s when large wagons pulled by several pairs of horses were used to transport farm products in france and the united states. in the absence of a drivers seat inside the wagon, the driver sat behind the left horse, with his right arm free to use his whip to keep the horses moving. since he was sitting on the left, he wanted other wagons to pass on his left. 39 the british government refused to give up their left-hand driving ways, and in 1773 introduced the general highways act, which encouraged driving on the left.when henry ford unveiled his model t in 1908，the drivers seat was on the left, meaning that cars would have to drive on the right hand side of the road to allow front and back passengers to exit the car onto the roadside. 40 and this is highly unlikely to change.a. think four legs instead of four wheels.b. do people get used to driving on the right?c. however, british drivers remain on the left.d. so why did people stop traveling on the left?e. therefore, he kept to the right side of the road.f. around 35 percent of the world population does the same.g. this was later made law thanks to the highway act of 1835.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节（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a、b、c和d四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。im proud of myself for this kindness i did last night. i did
