The Scots，a brave people，loved their country very much. They fought hard to drive the enemy out of Scotland，but there were too many Romans. It looked as if the Romans would win.One night，the leader of Scots marched his soldiers to the top of a hill. “We will rest here tonight，my men,” he said. “Tomorrow we will fight one more battle. We must win or we will die.”They were all very tired，so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were four guards on duty，but they，too，were very tired，and one by one，also fell asleep.The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they gathered at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside，taking care not to make a sound. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes more，the war would be over. Suddenly，one of them put his foot on a thistle(蓟). He cried out and hissudden cry woke the Scots. In a moment，they were on their feet and ready for battle. The fighting was hard but it did not last long. The Scots wiped out the Romans and saved their country.The thistle is not a beautiful plant. It has sharp needles all over it. Few people like it.

Adders have the most highly developed poison injecting mechanism of all snakes, but they are not aggressive animals. Adders will only use their poison as a last means of defence, usually if caught or trodden on. No one has died from adder bites in Britain for over 20 years. By far the most common snake in Britain is the adder. In Scotland, in fact, there are no other snakes at all. The adder is also the only British snake with a poisonous bite. It can be found almost anywhere, but it prefers sunny hillsides and rough open country, including high lands. In Ireland there are no snakes at all.Most people regard snake bites as a fatal misfortune, but not all bites are serious, and very few are fatal . Sometimes attempts at emergency treatment turn out to be more dangerous than the bite itself, with amateurs heroically, but mistakenly, trying do-it-yourself surgery and other unnecessary measures.All snakes have small teeth, so it follows the tall snakes can bite, but only the bite of the adder presents any danger. British snakes are shy animals and are far more frightened of you than you could possibly be of them. The adder will attack only if it feels threatened, as can happen if you take it by surprise and step on it accidentally, or if you try to catch it or pick it up, which it dislikes intensely. If it hears you coming, it will normally get out of the way as quickly as it can, but adders cannot movevery rapidly and may attack before moving if you are very close.The effect of a bite varies considerably. It depends upon several things, one of which is the body-weight of the person bitten. The heavier the person is, the less harmful the bite is likely to be, which is why children suffer far more seriously from snake bites in Britain , andpeople think these bites can make some people very ill, and there are probably just as many cases of bites having little or no effect, as there are of serious illness.28. What does the underlined phrase“trodden on”probably mean?A. Found out B. Stepped on C. Heard from. D. Robbed of.29. Where are adders to be found?A. In fertile fields in Scotland. B. In many parts of Britain and Ireland.C. On wild land throughout Britain.D. Everywhere in Britain except Scotland30. What should you do if you are with someone who is bitten by an adder?A. Catch the biting adder at once. B. Dont worry about the bitten person.C. Operate on the person as soon as possibleD. Dont try to treat the bite by yourself.31. Whats the best title of the passage?A. Poisonous SnakesB. Take Care of Snake Bites C. Adders in BritainD. Protect Endangered AddersDThe best and worst part about being a twenty-something is that every decision you make can change the rest of your life. Once youre in your 30s or 40s, it gets harder and harder to reinvent yourself. So I made an interview with Dr. Meg Jay, the clinical psychologist. He explains why the twenties matter, and how to make the most of them.InDr. Meg Jays opinion, our20s are thedefiningdecade of adulthood. 80% of lifes most important moments take place by about age 35. And 2/3 of lifetime wage growth happens during the first ten years of a career. More than half of Americans are married or are dating or living with their future partner by age 30. Personality can change more during our 20s than at any other decade inlife. Female fertility(生育能力) peaks at 28. The brain caps off (结束) its last major growth. When it comes to adult development, 30 is not the new 20. Even if you do nothing, not making choices is a choice all the same. Dont be defined by what you didnt knowor didnt do.On the other hand, I also ask him how the 20s track their progress toward their future goals and whether milestones like 21 and 30 are really important. Dr. Meg Jay think it absolutely important. Milestones-21, 25, 30, New Years, birthdays, reunions-are important because they cause self-reflection. What he mentioned are as follows: Am I where I wanted to be by this age? Did I do what I said I would do this year? If not, why not. And if not now, when? A 20-year-old girl who interviewed me recently told me about a question she was advised to ask herself as she moved through adulthood: If you keep living your life exactly as it is, where will you be in 3 years? If you dont like the answer, now is the time to change course.Surely the 20s are for experimenting, but not just with philosophies(人生观) and vacations and substances(物质). The 20s are your best chance to experiment with jobs and relationships. Then each move can be more intentional and more informed than the last.32. Once you make a decision in your 20s, it will _.A. be thebest partB. be the worst partC. change your whole lifeD. affect your future life33.What does the underlined word in Paragraph 2 mean?A. Decisive B. Describing C. Explaining D. changeable34. What is the most changeable during the 20s according to the passage?A. Career? B. Marriage C. Character D. Philosophies35.What is the passage mainly about?A.The 20s are of importance, and how to make use of them.B.The 20s can change the rest of your life.C.The 20s are milestones to reach their future goals.D.The 20s are thebest chance to experiment.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。What Teenagers Can Do To Earn More RespectAs teenagers continue to grow and develop into young adults, the transition(过渡) into adulthood has begun. With so many physical and emotional changes going on, certain manners are often forgotten and other adult traits are not yet accepted as a way of life. 36 By doing the following things, you will earn more respect.1. Contribute to the householdAt the very least, clean up after yourself. As a teenager, you are old enough to clean up after yourself. When you make a mess, clean it up. 37 All chores that you do help to reduce the load of the person who did them before. Now that youre old enough and capable, why shouldnt you contribute to the household? 382.Be responsible 39 Whether they are basic things, like brushing your teeth or doing your homework , or more involved chores that contribute to the household, simply fulfill your responsibilities on time. When adults know that they can rely on you, their trust and respect for you will increase.3.Solve more of your own problem without asking for helpInstead of taking the easy approach and asking for help, make an effort to solve your problems on your own first. The “easy way ” is only easy for you, but it is an extra task for the person from whom you are seeking help. Seek help only after you have make an honest effort to solve your own problems. 40 .
