It was $29.95. Unluckily, Jenny didnt even have the 95 cents. As she crossed the street, she thought about doing her brothers housework, cleaning the floor, washing the dishes all month, but even then she would have only eleven dollars.

Jennys heart was suddenly filled with love and warmth when she thought of her. She put the doll down and answered the phone. “Hi, Grandma! Im going to be a little bit late tonight.Alright.I love you, too.” Jenny left the store and walked all the way to 301 West Street. The woman who answered the door looked sad.“Here, I found this in the snow,” Jenny said.“Oh, good God! This is the money for the orphanage (孤儿院)! Thank you!” After doing her brothers housework for three months, Jenny finally got a Happy Hannah doll. She was so happy because she could play with her doll and look her grandma in the eye. 34.

CIf I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat, would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it? Of course, you could. Your tongue (舌头) helps you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose? What You Need a friend to help small pieces of any food like carrot, orange, bananawhatever you have small pieces of apples, raw (uncooked) potato and (if you are brave) onion (洋葱) What You DoThere are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other. Experiment 1: Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly. Experiment 2: While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around, and she will think she is eating a potato, or, perhaps, she wont be able to name what she is eating. Experiment 3: (for the brave) Take a piece of raw onion. You dont have to close your eyes this time. Press your nose closed with your other hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now eat a small piece of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion. The Science SecretYou already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter, sour, and sweet. All of the other “tastes” are actually “smells”, and you need your nose to taste them. Oh, you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you dont like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you wont “taste” it at all. 38. According to this article, what could a person know about food? A. People hold their noses to eat onions.B. If you close your eyes, food will taste better.C. People need a sense of smell to taste some food.D. If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.39. What is the most probable reason Experiment 3 is called “for the brave”? A. You have to eat a raw onion.B. You keep your eyes open.C. You have to hold your nose.D. You do the experiment alone.40. What can we learn from the passage? A. Knowledge comes from personal experience. B. Team work helps us to find out science secrets. C. We should have courage while doing experiments. D. We cant draw a conclusion simply from the feeling.41. Whats the passage mainly about? A. Why different foods can smell the same. B. How smell influences the way food tastes. C. Why some things smell better than others. D. How smell changes the way we see things. DWhen you make a mistake, big or small, cherish (珍视) it like its the most valuable thing in the world, because in some ways, it is. Most of us feel bad when we make mistakes, beat ourselves up about it, feel like failures, get mad at ourselves.And thats only natural. Most of us have been taught from a young age that mistakes are bad, and we should try to avoid mistakes. Weve been blamed (责备) when we make mistakesat home, school and work. Maybe not always, but probably enough times to make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious (无意识的) reaction.Yet without mistakes, we could not learn or grow. If you think about it that way, mistakes should be cherished and celebrated for being one of the most amazing things in the world. They make learning possible; they make growth and improvement possible.By trial and errortrying things, making mistakes, and learning from those mistakeswe have thought about how to make electric light, to paint the ceiling of the Sistine Chapel, to fly.Mistakes make walking possible for the smallest toddler, make speech possible, and make works of talent possible.Think about how we learn: We dont just use up information about something and know it at once or know how to do it. You dont just read about painting, or writing, or computer programming, or baking, or playing the piano, and know how to do them right away. Instead, you get information about something, from reading or from another person or from watching, then you build a model in your mind.then you test it out by trying it in the real world.then you make mistakes.then you make a mistake and repeat, making mistakes, learning from those mistakes, until you have pretty much learned how to do something. Thats how we learn as babies and toddlers, and how we learn as adults. Mistakes are how we learn to do something newbecause if you succeed at something, its probably something you already knew how to do. You havent really grown much from that successat most its the last step on your journey, not the whole journey. Most of the journey is made up of mistakes, if its a good journey.So if you cherish learning, if you cherish growing and improving, then you should cherish mistakes. They are amazing things that make a world of great brightness possible.42. According to the passage, what is the right attitude (态度) to mistakes? A. We should try to avoid making mistakes.B. We should treat mistakes as good chances to learn.C. We should connect a great invention with lots of mistakes.D. We should make feeling bad about mistakes an unconscious reaction.43. The underlined word “toddler” in Paragraph 6 probably means _. A. a small child learning to walkB. a primary pupil learning to readC. a school teenager learning to writeD. a kindergarten child learning to draw44. We can learn from the passage that _. A. most of us can really grow from successB. we learn to make mistakes by trial and errorC. growing and improving are based on mistakesD. we read about something and know how to do it right away45. What is the best title of this passage? A. Cherish Mistakes.B. Mistakes Make Things Possible.C. Try to Avoid Mistakes.D. Life is a Journey Full of Mistakes.第卷（非选择题 共60分）第II卷共36小题，请按要求将答案写在答题纸上。四、词汇（本题共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分）A. 请根据括号中的中文提示、英文释义或句意，写出句中所缺单词，使句子通顺。46. Luckily, neither the driver nor the _ (乘客) was hurt.47.
