You probably see at least one of them every day. If your dad worships(崇拜) the Pittsburgh Stealers, youre likely to grow up being a big fan of that football team. And if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just like she does.Here are four ways you can stay close and build a strong relationship with your parents.(1)Spent time together. How much time do you spend just enjoying each others company?Instead of playing a computer game or watching TV, maybe you can ask your mom and dad to play with you. Go outside together, try a board game, or read a book out.(2)Share your feelings and ask for help. Your mom or dad might not know that youre having a problem. Tell a parent if youre sad or struggling with something.(3)Show your care. Some families are always kissing, hugging, and saying “I love you”. Its important to show that you care for each other. In addition to kisses and hugs, kids and parents show their love by respecting each other, being caring, polite, and thoughtful.(4)Whatever you do, do your best! You dont have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to see how youre turning into such a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know theyre doing a good job.1.The first paragraph mainly tells us_.A. the Pittsburgh Stealers is a famous football teamB. the kid will like reading if his or her mother likesC. parents influence their kids greatlyD. we should follow our parents hobbies2.In the third paragraph, the author suggests that_.A. you keep your parents company all the timeB. you stay at home with your parentsC. you enjoy games when your parents watch TVD. you do something together with your parents3.The underlined part “theyre doing a good job” means_.A. they have very good jobs B. their jobs can bring the family much money C. they make you become a great kid D. they make you find a good job4.The text intends to tell us_.A. parents are important to everyone B. how we get along with our parentsC. to respect our parents D. to share feelings with our parentsBOwning a smart phone may not be as smart as you think. They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you arebut they also turn you into a workaholic (工作狂). A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the all-singing, all-dancing mobile phone adds as much as two hours to your working day.Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study by technology retailer Pixmania, shows the average UK working day is between nine and ten hours, but a further two hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess (坦白) they are on call almost 24 hours a day, with nine out of ten saying they take work emails and calls outside their normal working hours. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said, “The ability to access millions of apps, keep in contact via social networks and take photos and video as well as text and call has made smart phones valuable for many people. However, there aredrawbacks. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity (容量).”5. The text is probably taken from _.A. a scientific report B. a financial reportC. a newspaper D. a travel journal6. The underlined word “drawbacks” in the last paragraph probably means _.A. disagreements B. disadvantagesC. mistakes D. features7. Ghadi may agree that _.A. employees are supposed to be on call 24 hours a dayB. the ability to access many apps made smart phones worthlessC. smart phones might turn a person into a workaholicD. People cannot get away from work without smart phonesCWe all have found memories of taking a few lazy months off after the stress of A-levels. As we draw to the end of an academically and socially packed year, the idea of doing the same again is appealing.But after graduation, therell be few occasions when we can enjoy such extended holidays, free to do as we wish. So now that summer has arrived, lets take full advantage. It goes without saying that summer vacations are the perfect time to go traveling, especially if you avoid the pricey school holiday period.Tickets go up greatly when you turn 26, so make the most of cheaper rates while youre eligible. Finding a reliable company that wont cheat you is extremely important, as is discovering a program that appeals to your own interests. There are plenty of websites where you can see other peoples recommendations.Of course for most of us, money is tightbut to avoid overspending you can combine employment and adventure. Hannah Warn, a psychology student at the University of Winchester, is spending her summer at Camp America, an increasingly popular venture where British students enjoy a good time on a summer camp.”Being thrown into something where I dont really know what to expect is exciting.” she says, ”It gives me a chance to experience being away from home in a different way.”Those with a talent for languages might also consider working abroad as an au pai(家庭打工留学生). The work may be challenging, but its a chance to involve yourself in a new culture while your employer pays most of the bill. If you have an idea about the sort of career youd like, getting work experience is wise. In many careers, graduating with only your degree to show for your three or four years just wont make it. Send applications off early and to as many places as possible. Make sure you take a well-earned break this summer.8.The author intends to tell us in the passage_.A. ways to make money in summer B. good memories of the school daysC. stress goes away during the summer holidaysD. tips on how to spend the summer vacation9.The passage implies that_.A. students can enjoy beneficial price when traveling B.

Four steps will help you get the most out of each failure and more on._16_When you feel bad after failing, talk with your parents or good friends, or any other adult. Then decide to take the duty to improve yourself. Read the teachers comments on your test carefully.Ask yourself what you were trying to do and why you failed._17_Maybe you didnt have all the information you needed; maybe you made a mistake or a poor decision. If so, give yourself a pat on the back. Fewer people ever get something right the first time they try it, and often it takes them many times. _18_Sometimes the failure isnt because of something you did or didnt do; it is someone elses fault. But dont spend time blaming them; instead, move on toward your goals._19_. Review the situation to see what your choices are. There is a different between making a decision and giving up. Deciding to follow a better way is one thing; simply walking away means you really have failed.Keep trying again.

No pains, no gains.B. Dont give up easilyC. Failure is unavoidableD. Remove your bad feelingsE. If it isnt, do your best on something elseF. Actually it was because you were very lazyG. Usually it was because you were trying out a new skill or learning a new subject.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分60分）第一节：完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分） 请认真阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A,B,C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。My fianc (未婚夫) and I were excited about shopping for our first home.
