One day，feeling very sad and lonely，she was walking through a grassland when she noticed a small butterfly caught in a thorn(荆棘)bush.The young girl carefully released the butterfly.Instead of flying away，the little butterfly changed into a beautiful fairy(仙女)The young girl rubbed her eyes in disbelief.“For your wonderful kindness，” the good fairy said to the girl，“I will give you any wish you would like.” The little girl thought for a moment and thenreplied，“I want to be happy.” The fairy leaned toward her and whispered in her ear.Then the fairy disappeared.As the little girl grew up，there was no one in the land as happy as she.Everyone asked her the secret of happiness.She would only smile and answer，“The secret of my happiness is that I listened to a good fairy when I was a little girl.”When she was very old and on her deathbed，the neighbors all gathered around her，and feared that her unbelievable secret of happiness would die with her.“Tell us，please，” they begged，“Tell us what the good fairy said.” The lovely old woman simply smiled and said，“She told me that everyone，no matter how secure they seemed，no matter how old or young，how rich or poor，had need of me.”（21）_ the girl felt sad and lonely.A.There were many friends but B.There was nobody to love her soC.There was nothing to do so D.Seeing the butterfly was caught（22）Noticing the butterfly was caught by the thorn，the girl _.A.helped the butterfly escaped from the thornB.felt sorrow，but she didnt go up to help itC.fell down on it tooD.failed to help it release from the thorn（23）The butterfly _ after it was saved by the little girl.A.flied away B.still diedC.changed into a fairy D.was more beautiful than before（24）The only thing that the girl wanted was_.A.to be rich B.to have her own parentsC.to have a lot of friends D.happiness2.（8分）Ereading and ebooks are slowly conquering the world.Compared to traditional paper books，ebooks in some schools and universities attract more interest because the information flow seems much easier to manage and comes in a greatly higher quantity. Japan is known for the reformminded attitude towards the gadget(精巧装置)world and for the fact that it is one of the first countries that encouraged in the educational system the emailing of homework. The digital textbook looks like the logical step in the world of learning.It is natural but it is also completely untraditional. The plan of the largest publishing companies to get in line with the trend is to save a large quantity of paper and make the kids become interested in learning using a cool gadget.Many USA universities and colleges have made students be used to the procedure of downloading the courses and of course the procedure involves interactive software and also the chance of using the computer. The traditional education system is still unwilling when it comes to giving up books.The standard approach of information taught out of a book and Shakespeare read out of an old school novel makes studying English as traditional as it can be. In a world where kids would rather see the movie than read a book，the digital age has brought along a completely different flavor to reading.Bringing that flavor in school will make teaching a greener and also a completely different matter.（25）Why are ebooks so popular in the world?A.Its cheap to buy. B.Its effective to use.C.Its convenient to bring. D.Its the latest fashion.（26）Which of the following words can best take the place of the word “reformminded” in the second paragraph?A.Oldfashioned. B.Aggressive. C.Rejecting. D.Progressive.（27）In America，the students are encouraged to_.A.apply the procedure of downloading the coursesB.communicate with their teachers using computersC.research some interactive software for their studiesD.do their homework in computer instead of in paper（28）Whats the authors attitude to the digital textbooks?A.Being against. B.Being for. C.Not mentioned. D.Being neutral.3. （6分） Dolphins are not fish，but warmblooded animals.They live in groups，and speak to each other in their own language.In this way they are like other animals，such as bees and birds.But dolphins are very different from almost all land animals.Their brain is nearly the same size as our own，and they live a long timeat least twenty or thirty years. Like some other animals，dolphins use sound to help them find their way around.They also make these sounds to talk to each other and to help them find food.We now know they do not use their ears to receive these sounds，but the lower part of the mouth，called the jaw. Strangely，dolphins seem to like man，and for thousands of years there have been stories about the dolphin and its friendship with people.There is a story about sailors in the 19th century.In a dangerous part of the sea off the coast of New Zealand，they learnt to look for a dolphin called Jack.From 1871 to 1903 Jack met every boat in the area and showed it the way.Then in 1903 a passenger on a boat called the Penguin shot and wounded(伤害)Jack.He recovered and for nine years more continued to guide all ships through the areaexcept for the Penguin. Today，some people continue to kill dolphins，but many countries of the world now protect them and in these places it is against the law to kill them.（29）Dolphins are different from many other animals in that they _.A.live in groups B.have large brainsC.are warmblooded D.have their own language（30）Why did the sailors off the coast of New Zealand look for Jack?A.He was lonely and liked to be with people.B.They enjoyed playing with him.C.He was seriously wounded.D.They wanted his help.（31）By telling the story of Jack the writer wanted to show that _.A.dolphins are friendly and cleverB.people are cruel to animalsC.Jack is different from other dolphinsD.dolphins should be protected by law4. （8分）Without proper planning，tourism can cause problems.For example，too many tourists can crowd public places that are also enjoyed by the inhabitants of the country.If tourists create too much traffic，the inhabitants become annoyed and unhappy.They begin to dislike tourists and to treat them impolitely.They forget how much tourism can help the countrys economy.It is important to think about the people of a destination country and how tourism affects them.Tourism should help a country keep the customs and beauty that attract tourists.Tourism should also advance the wealth and happiness of local inhabitants. Too much tourism can be a problem.If tourism grows too quickly，people must leave other jobs to work in the tourism industry.This means that other parts of the countrys economy can suffer. On the other hand， if there is not enough tourism，people can lose jobs.Businesses can also lose money.It costs a great deal of money to build large hotels，airports，firstclass roads，and other support facilities(配套设施)needed by tourist attractions.For example，a major international class tourism hotel can cost as much as 50 thousand dollars per room to build.If this room is not used most of the time，the owners of the hotel will lose money. Building a hotel is just a beginning.There must be many other support facilities as well，including roads to get to the hotel，electricity，sewers(下水道)to handle waste，and water.All of these support facilities cost money.If they are not used because there are not enough tourists，jobs and money are lost.（32）Which of the following do you think has been discussed in the part before this selection?A.It is extremely important to develop tourism.B.Building roads and hotels is important.C.Support facilities are highly necessary.D.Planning is of great importance to tourism.（33）The underlined word “inhabitants”(in Paragraph 1)probably means _.A.citizens B.passengers C.population D.tourists（34）Too much tourism can cause all these problems EXCEPT _.A.a bad effect on other industries B.a change of tourists customsC.overcrowdedness of places of interest D.pressure on traffic（35）It can be inferred from the text that _.A.the author doesnt like tourism developing so fastB.local people will benefit from tourist attractionC.other parts of a countrys economy wont benefit from tourism muchD.we cant build too many support facilities三、七选五(共10分）5.（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。Kids health：Four steps for fighting stress Everybody gets stressed from time to time.（36） Some ways of dealing with stresslike screaming or hitting someonedont solve(解决)much.But other ways，like talking to someone you trust，can lead you to solving your problem or at least feeling better. Try taking these four steps the next time you are stressed： (1)Get support.When you need help，reach out to the people who care about you.Talk to a trusted adult，such as a parent or other relatives.（37） They might have had similar problems，such as dealing with a test，or the death of a beloved pet.
