Some of these phrases are easy to understand, but others are not really about the weather at all. If you say you “ hit rough weather”, you may not be stuck by a real storm, but you do experiencedifficulties or problems. If you dont know what such phrases mean, they might leave you “in a fog (雾)”！In English, you can “shoot the breeze”, or have an imformal chat. But things can also be a breeze. If you take an exam and find it very easy, youd tell your friends: “It was a breeze!” The wind can also bring information. You can “get wind of ” a piece of news, and if someone “know which way the wind blows”, they have a good idea about how things will work out. But dont “throw caution to the wind”that means taking a great risk!Clouds sometimes bring rain, and in English they often represent problems or difficulties. If someone “sees a cloud on the horizon(地平线)”, there may be problems ahead. And if someone is “under a cloud”, then people think the person might have done something wrong. But clouds are not always bad: in fact, people say that “every cloud has a silver lining”. This means that there is a good side to every situation, no matter how bad it may seem. You may even end up “on cloud nine”, which means you are very happy! But some people have their “heads in the clouds”, not paying attention to reality.No one likes to be stuck in the rain or storm, so its no surprise that phrases about them are generally negative. When someone says “it never rains but it pours”, they are complaining (抱怨) that when things go wrong, they go very wrong. People who talk about “ weathering a storm” just want to get through a difficult period or situation. 21. What does the underlined part “such phrases”in the first paragraph refer to？A. The old phrases about the weather.B. The funny phrases about the weather.C. The simple phrases about the weather.D. The confusing phrases about the weather.22. It may be dangerous when you _A. throw caution to the wind B. find that something is a breezeC. get wind of a piece of news D. know which way the wind blows23. if you look at something in a positive way, you may say _A. you are under a cloud B. every cloud has a silver lining C. your head is in the clouds D. you see a cloud on the horizon24. Phrases like “it never rains but it pours” and “weathering a storm” are related to something_A. changeable B. acceptable C. unfavorable D. unbelieveableBWhen asked to point out one or two things that are most important to themselves, many put friends ahead of homes, jobs, clothes and cars.A true friendship carries a long history of experience that determines who we are and keeps us connected. It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably youll have disagreements. And the result can be what you dont want - an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships can be mended. First, dont let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when youre wrong even if youve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friends point of view. And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyles change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture.25. What would be the best title for the text?A. Easy Ways to Make Friends B. Ups and Downs in FriendshipC. How to Take the Lead in Making Friends D. How to Mend a Troubled Friendship 26. The “wronged person” underlined in the text refers to a person _.A. who has been blamed unfairly. B. who has been mistaken for another C. who has treated friends badly D. who has admitted his mistakes27. According to the text a friendship can last long only if _.A. we have much in common B. we know our friends mistakesC. we treat our disagreements wisely D. we have known one another for long28. What should we do if we follow the authors second suggestion?A. Make an apology first B. Avoid making mistakesC. Stick to our own prints of view D. Change our lifestyles CLast week I was riding my special motorbike and then stopped at a convenience store. As I was getting my wheelchair off the back, a man watched me from his car and I noticed a wheelchair in his back seat. We spoke for a moment and I asked him about the wheelchair. He answered that it was for his daughter. “Well, do you think she would like to go for a ride on my motorbike with me?” I asked. He seemed shocked that a total stranger would ask him this. He thought about it for a second and said, “OK, as long as I can follow you.” He introduced me to Amy and he sat her on my back seat. Her father followed me for a few miles and she talked non-stop about what she wanted for Christmas. As we came back to the convenience store, she said, “This ride is the best Christmas present I could ever receive. I have been in a wheelchair my whole life and didnt know I could do this.” I told her about some of the other things I do (ski, travel the world by myself, etc.).As her father was taking her off my bike, she turned to him and said, “Oh Daddy, Im going to be OK. Mr. Bryant does all kinds of things, and I will too.” Her father turned away as a tear of joy rolled down his cheek. He hugged me and said, “I was sitting here praying for a gift for Amy that would encourage her. She often felt that her life was dull compared to other children. God answered my prayer just now. Now I pray that God will bless you for your gift to Amy today.” I believed what he said. Being kind and thoughtful to others, we can be an answer to prayer.29. According to the passage, the girl _.A. was inspired by the authors experiencesB. used to be a completely healthy personC. was satisfied with her lifeD. was unwilling to communicate with a stranger30. What was the authors gift to Amy according to the girls father?A. The motorbike B. The wheelchair C. The ride D.The blessing31. What can we infer from the passage?A. The author usually drove too fastB. The author was a man with disabilityC. The author worked in a convenience storeC. The author often offered strangers a ride on his motorbikeDWould it surprise you to learn that, like animals, trees communicate with each other and pass on their wealth to the next generation?UBC Professor Simard explains how trees are much more complex than most of us ever imagined .Although Charles Darwin thought that trees are competing for survival of the fittest, Simard shows just how wrong he was. In fact, the opposite is true: trees survive through their co-operation and support, passing around necessary nutrition “depending on who needs it”.Nitrogen（氮） and carbon are shared through miles of underground fungi（真菌） networks, making sure that all trees in the forest ecological system give and receive just the right amount to keep them all healthy. This hidden system works in a very similar way to the networks of neurons（神经元）in our brains, and when one tree is destroyed, it affects all.Simard talks about “mother trees”, usually the largest and oldest plants on which all other trees depend. She explains how dying trees pass on the wealth to the next generation, transporting important minerals to young trees so they may continue to grow. When humans cut down “mother trees” with no awareness of these highly complex “tree societies” or the networks on which they feed, we are reducing the chances of survival for the entire forest.“We didnt take any notice of it.” Simard says sadly. “Dying trees move nutrition into the young trees before dying, but we never give them chance.” If we could put across the message to the forestry industry, we could make a huge difference towards our environmental protection efforts for the future.32. What would be the best title for the passage?A .Old Trees Communicate Like HumansB. Young Trees Are In Need Of ProtectionC. Trees Contribute To Our SocietyD. Trees Are More Complex Than You Think33. In Simards opinion, trees _A. compete for survival B. depend on each other C. protect their own wealth D. provide support for dying trees34.We can learn from the passage that _.A. “mother trees” are usually of no use to other trees.B. Charles Darwin had the same thought as Simard.C. people know much about the complex “tree societies”.D.“mother trees” affect the survival for the entire forest.35. The underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refers to _ .A .how “tree societies” work B. how trees grow oldC. how forestry(林业) industry develops D. how young trees survive第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）根据根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能坡入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多于选项。（请将此部分答案填涂到答题卡71-75题相应位置）Sports for a new generationIntroductionWe often hear adults complaining that teenagers arent active enough and spend all their time sitting in front of computers, but one reason for this might be that teenagers are tired of doing the same sports we want something a bit more lively.The same old .For a lot of teens, the idea of hitting a ball over a net, throwing a ball through a hoop or hitting a ball with a stick, is no longer that interesting. 36 Why Teenup?The good news for teenagers is that this is exactly what we provide at Teenup! 37 The best thing about it is that we also provide experienced trainers to help you learn the sport and get the most of it. 38 So, come along today and pick from a range of different sports.
