One day the Prince wanted to go hunting with his men. He told his dog to stay at home and look after his baby son. The baby was in a wooden cradle, which was like a small bed. When the Prince came back from hunting, Gelert ran out to meet his master. He wagged his tail and jumped up to put his paws on the Princes chest. Then the Prince saw the blood on Gelerts jaws and head. What have you done? the Prince said. He rushed into his house and looked for his baby son. The cradle was lying on its side on the floor. The clothes were torn and there was blood on them. So you have killed my son? the Prince said angrily. You unfaithful dog! He took out his sword and killed the dog. Just as Gelert was dying, he managed to bark. Then the Prince heard a baby call to the dog. The Prince ran out of the house and saw his son lying on the ground unhurt. Near him was a dead wolf. Then the Prince knew that Gelert had defended the baby and killed the wolf. The Prince ran back into the house but he was too late. Gelert was dead. The Prince was very sad indeed. Tears ran down his face when he realized he had killed his faithful friend. The Prince carried the body of his brave dog to the top of a mountain and buried him there. After this, the Prince never smiled again. Every morning at dawn, he walked up the mountain and stood by the dogs grave for a few minutes. If you go to Mount Snowdon in Wales, people will show you where Gelert is buried. There is a sign by his grave. It reminds people of a brave and faithful dog. 21.

Nobody encouraged her to study or paid for her special classes. This girl created her own future.The teen was abandoned by her family last summer, when her parents and two sisters moved to Tennessee. She found herself homeless and had to spend the night on friends sofas.The school bus driver learned about Dawns situation and invited Dawn to move in with her family. Soon, Dawn had a job at Burns High School. She worked from 6 a.m. to 7:40 a.m. before the first school bell rang. She swept floors and picked up trash again in the afternoons, before diving into her studies in the evenings.Dawns hard work paid off. She finished school with a 3.9 GPA and scored 2,110 on the SAT.There were times when I felt like it would be easiest if I gave up, the 18-year-old said.But it was never in me to give up, because I realized that I was never going to be successful unless I got an education.Even before Dawns family left her, she led a difficult life. Her family was poor and cups of noodles were often the only food. Dawn studied by candlelight because her parents couldnt afford to pay the electricity bill(电费).Dawn has now reconnected with her family. They are proud of her accomplishments(成就) and are attending her high school graduation.25.

What is the best title for the text?A. Another Harvard girl. B. A girl in candle light.C.The role of Tiger Moms. D. From homeless to Harvard.CThe idea that red means stop and green means go has influenced our lives in more ways than just traffic signals(信号). We have been taught from a young age that the color red means danger and green means its okay to move forward. But why were those colors chosen for traffic lights in the first place? For something we have to look at every day, why couldnt they have been prettier colors?Well, its important to know that before traffic lights for cars, there were traffic signals for trains. At first, railway companies used red to mean stop, white to mean go, and green to mean warn. As you could imagine, trains ran into a few problems with white meaning go. For example, one train mistook a bright star for a white light and something unexpected happened. Because of that, railway companies finally moved green meaning go and used yellow to mean warn. And its been that way ever since.Red has always been a color that mean danger, long before cars were even around. This most likely started because its the color with the longest wavelength (波长) so it can be seen somewhere farther than other colors.But, believe it or not, yellow was once used to mean stop. Back in the 1900s, some stop signs were yellow because it was too hard to see a red sign in a poorly lit area. Finally, highly reflective materials (高反射材料) were developed and red stop signs were born. Since yellow can be seen well at all times of the day, school zones, some traffic signs, and school buses continue to be printed yellow.So next time you are impatiently waiting at a traffic light, dont get so mad at them, theyve certainly come a long way.29. What were traffic signals for before traffic lights for cars?A. Trains B. Boats. C. Planes D. Bicycles30. Which of the following colors meant go at first?A. Red. B. Yellow. C. White. D. Green.31. Why does red mean danger?A. Because its the brightest color. B. Because it can be seen far away.C. Because railway companies say so. D. Because it has the shortest wavelength.32. What does the text mainly tell us?A. How important traffic lights are. B. Which color has the longest wavelength.C. What red, yellow and green can be used for. D. Why traffic lights are red, yellow and green.DDoes this situation seem familiar to you? Your English is progressing well, the grammar is now familiar, the reading comprehension is no problem, you are communicating quite fluently, but: Listening is STILL a problem! First of all, remember that you are not alone. Listening comprehension is probably the most difficult job for almost all learners of English as a foreign language. The most important thing is to listen as often as possible. The first step is to find listening resources. The Internet is really a useful tool for English students. You can download The RealPlayer from RealMedia. The RealPlayer allows you to use the Internet like a radio station.Once you have begun to listen on a regular basis, you might still be frustrated (懊恼) by limited understanding. What should you do?Here is some of the advice I give my students: Accept the fact that you are not going to understand everything.Stay relaxed when you do not understandeven if you continue not to understand for a long time.Do not translate what you hear into your native language.Listen for the general idea of the conversation. Dont concentrate on detail until you have understood the main ideas.I remember the problems I had in understanding spoken German when I first went to Germany. In the beginning, when I didnt understand a word, I insisted on translating it in my mind. This method usually resulted in confusion. Then, after the first six months, I discovered two very important facts. Firstly, translating creates a wall between the listener and the speaker. Secondly, most people repeat themselves constantly. By remaining calm, I noticed that even if I didnt pay much attention, I could usually understand what the speaker had said.33.The best way to improve our listening is to _ .A. practise as much as possibleB. use the Internet like a radio stationC. find as many listening resources as possibleD. speak naturally and read as much as possible34.Which of the following is a good habit when listening?A. Try to understand everything. B. Try to get the main ideas.C. Pay much attention to details. D. Translate each word in your mind.35.Why did the writer mention his/her experience in Germany?A. To prove the importance of translating.B. To tell us the importance of staying calm.C. To point out an ineffective method of listening.D. To show the problems of speaking a foreign language. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的七个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。Tips for cooking on a Tight ScheduleFrom my experience, there are three main reasons why people dont cook more often: ability, money and time. 36 Money is a topic Ill save for another day. So today I want to give you some wisdom about how to make the most of the time you spend in the kitchen. Here are three tips for great cooking on a tight schedule:Think ahead. The moments when I think cooking is a pain are when Im already hungry and there is nothing ready to eat. So think about of the coming week. When will you have time to cook? Do you have the right materials ready? 37 Make your time worth it. When you do find time to cook a meal, make the most of it and save yourself time later on. Are you making one loaf of bread? 38 it takes around the same amount of time to make more of something. So save yourself the effort for a future meal. 39 This may surprise you, but one of the best tools for making cooking worth your time is experimentation. It gives you the chance to hit upon new ideas and recipes that can work well with your appetite and schedule. The more you learn and the more you try, the more ability you have to take control of your food and your schedule.Hopefully that gives you a good start. 40 and dont let a busy schedule discourage you from making some great changes in the way you eat and live!A. Try new things. B. Ability is easily improved.C. Make three or four instead.D. Understand your food better.E. Cooking is a burden for many people.F.
