In his spare time he liked to play the violin. Joseph Merlin was a man of ideas and dreams. People called him a dreamer. One day Merlin received an invitation to attend a fancy dress ball. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think how to make a grand entrance at the party. He had an idea. He thought he would get a lot of attention if he could skate into the room. Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin. On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates.

Looking out to the sea carefully, he saw a couple of kids in a rowboat were being pulled out to sea. Two 12yearold boys, Christian and Jack, rowed out a boat to search for a football. Once theyd rowed beyond the calm waters, a beach umbrella tied to the boat caught the wind and pulled the boat into the open water. The pair panicked and tried to row back to shore. But they were no match for it and the boat was out of control. Tim knew it would soon be swallowed by the waves. “Everything went quiet in my head，”Tim recalled (回忆)“I was trying to figure out how to swim to the boys in a straight line.” Tim took off his clothes and jumped into the water. Every 500 yards or so, he raised his head to judge his progress. “At one point, I considered turning back，” he says.“ I wondered if I was putting my life at risk.” After 30 minutes of struggling, he was close enough to yell to the boys, “Take down the umbrella！”Christian made much effort to take down the umbrella. Then Tim was able to catch up and climb aboard the boat. He took over rowing, but the waves were almost too strong for him. “Lets aim for the pier (码头)，” Jack said. Tim turned the boat toward it. Soon afterward, waves crashed over the boat, and it began to sink. “Can you guys swim？” he cried. “A little bit，” the boys said. Once they were in the water, Tim decided it would be safer and faster for him to pull the boys toward the pier. Christian and Jack were wearing life jackets and floated on their backs. Tim swam toward land as water washed over the boys faces. “Are we almost there？” They asked again and again. “Yes，” Tim told them each time. After 30 minutes, they reached the pier.28Why did the two boys go to the sea?Ato go boat rowing.Bto get back their football.Cto swim in the open water.Dto test the umbrella as a sail.29What does “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to?Athe beach.Bthe water.

That is why the word heart is used in so many expressions about emotional situations.One such expression is to lose your heart to someone. When that happens, you have fallen in love. But if the person who won your heart does not love you, then you are sure to have a broken heart. In your pain and sadness, you may decide that the person you loved is hard-hearted, and in fact, has a heart of stone.You may decide to pour out your heart to a friend. Telling someone about your personal problems can often make you feel better.If your friend does not seem to understand how painful your broken heart is, you may ask her to have a heart. You are asking your friend to show some sympathy for your situation. Your friend has her heart in the right place if she says she is sorry, and shows great concern for how you feel.Your friend may, however, warn you not to wear your heart on your sleeve. In other words, do not let everyone see how lovesick you are. When your heart is on your sleeve you are showing your deepest emotions.If your friend says my heart bleeds for you, she means the opposite. She is a cold-hearted person who does not really care about your situation.In the ever-popular motion picture, The Wizard of Oz,（绿野仙踪） the Tin Man seeks a heart. He wanted to feel the emotion of love, and was seeking help from the powerful Wizard of Oz to find a heart.The Cowardly Lion, in the same movie, did “have a heart”. But he lacked courage and wanted to ask the Wizard of Oz to give him some. You could say that the cowardly lion was chicken-hearted. That is another way of describing someone who is not very brave. A chicken is not noted for its bravery. Thus, someone who is chicken-hearted does not have much courage.When you are frightened or concerned, your heart is in your mouth. You might say, for example, that your heart was in your mouth when you asked a bank to lend you some money to pay for a new house. 32What is the main idea of the passage?AThe heart was the center of a persons emotions.BThere are many expressions about heart and what do they mean.CWe should learn some expressions about “heart”.DIt is important to learn some expressions about “heart”33How many expressions about “Heart” are mentioned in the passage?A.10 B.8 C.9 D.1134If you hear one of your family members is hurt in a traffic accident, you will feel _.A.heart is in your mouth. B.have your heart in the right place C. wear your heart on your sleeve D.lose your heart35Why did the writer mentionThe Wizard of Oz,in the passage?A.To show that it is ever popular.B.To introduce a film to the readersC.To give some more examples about the phrases.D.To show that the Tin Man is not brave.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。Stress is a normal part of life and usually comes from everyday occurrences. _36_Try physical activityWhen you are nervous, angry or upset, try releasing the pressure through exercise or physical activity._37_38_You should make every effort to eat well and get enough rest.

I take the problem more and more seriously for the following reason. First of all, as it is known to people, pets make so much noise that trouble residents a lot. Whats more, it is widely accepted that animal waste pollutes the environment, where makes people quite uncomfortable. Many owners like taking their pets to public place where they may frighten children or even bite people. The mostly important is th
