Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A，B，C and DChoose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.AThe early 1900s were very different from today.Toys，though they have evolved in many ways，were still the delight of children everywhere.Theodore Roosevelts Presidency marks the beginning of the “Teddy Bear”. In the year 1902，toy bears were named “Teddy” after the presidents nickname.The Teddy Bear became known worldwide，and is still known and loved today.It was only a few years later that the Teddy Bears were mass produced.In 1913，an item called the Erector Set was invented.It was a steel，motorized toy that children could use to build models of anything.Its creator was AC.Gilbert，a medical doctor.Charles Pajeau created a similar wooden set called Tinker Toys in the year 1914.Tinker Toys were made for younger children.Raggedy Ann dolls first came on the scene after newspaper cartoonist Johnny Gruelle reproduced the doll he made for his daughter.That was in 1915.The following year，an architects son named John Lloyd Wright，invented Lincoln Logs，which were interlocked to make structures.Two years after Mickey Mouse was created，stuffed(填塞)Mickey Mouse dolls were made by Charlotte Clark.This was the start of Disney merchandise.The yoyo became popular in the United States after Donald Duncan bought a yoyo company in 1929.The ViewMaster，a three dimensional viewer，was developed by a camera enthusiast named William Gruber.The toy became popular when Gruber licensed Disney characters to make still,3D images from Disney movies and television programs.Finally，in 1940，model airplanes were mass produced.They started out as a way for manufacturers to sell planes to the military，but later caught on as a toy.The toys that we know and love today have had their roots from these ancient times.Isnt it interesting to know that if it hadnt been for all these creative people，most of the games you know today would never have been?36Why were toy bears named “Teddy”？ATo be suitable for mass production.BTo be easily pronounced by children.CTo meet the advertisers needs.DTo memorize President Theodore Roosevelt.37In which aspect do the toys created by Gilbert differ from those by Charles?AShape.

Diagnosed with diabetes(糖尿病), Thomas would need to inject himself with insulin(胰岛素) three times a day for the rest of his life or risk nerve damage, blindness, and even death. And if that werent bad enough, he had no health insurance.After a month of feeling upset, Thomas decided hed better find a way to fight back. He left Canton, Michigan for New York, got a job waiting tables, nicknamed himself the Diabetic Rockstar, and created , a free online community for diabetics and their loved onesa place where over 1,100 people share personal stories, information, and resources.Jason Swenckis son, Kody, was diagnosed with diabetes at six. Father and son visit the online childrens forums(论坛) together most evenings. “Kody gets so excited, writing to kids from all over，” says Swencki, one of the sites volunteers. “They know what hes going through, so he doesnt feel alone.”Kody is anything but alone: Diabetes is now the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, with 24 million diagnosed cases. And more people are being diagnosed at younger ages.These days, Thomass main focus is his charity(慈善机构), Fight It, which provides medicines and supplies to people225 to datewho cant afford a diabetics huge expenses. F has raised about $ 23,000in products and in cash. In May, Thomas will hold the first annual Diabetic Rockstar Festival in the Caribbean.Even with a staff of 22 volunteers, Thomas often devotes up to 50 hours a week to his cause, while still doing his fulltime job waiting tables. “Of the diabetes charities out there, most are putting money into finding a cure，” says Bentley Gubar, one of Rockstars original members. “But Christopher is the only person I know saying people need help now.”46Which of the following is TRUE of Christopher Thomas?AHe needs to go to the doctor every day.BHe studies the leading cause of diabetes.CHe has a positive attitude to this disease.DHe encourages diabetics by writing articles.47D was created for _.Adiabetics to communicateBvolunteers to find jobsCchildren to amuse themselvesDrock stars to share resources48According to the text, Kody _.Afeels lonely because of his illnessBbenefits from Chelps create the online kids forumsDwrites childrens stories online49What can we learn about Fight It?AIt helps the diabetics in financial difficulties.BIt organizes parties for volunteer once a year.CIt offers less expensive medicine to diabetics.DIt owns a wellknown medical website.50The last paragraph suggests that Thomas _.Aworks fulltime in a diabetes charityBemploys 22 people for his websiteChelps diabetics in his own wayDtries to find a cure for diabetesPart Writing(45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions：Read the following passage.Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Happier people are generally healthier peoplenot only mentally, but also physically. So everyone tries to pursue happiness. Whats the pursuit of happiness? It means practicing happiness regularly, making it a habit, and reprogramming our brains by creating new emotional pathways.Psychologists studies have suggested that several factors contribute to our happiness. Its shown that only 10% of our ability for happiness depends upon external(外在的) circumstances! 50% of our happiness level is dependant on genetic genes and 50% is learned. Of the 50% learned, only 10% is determined by our circumstances. The other 40% is determined by our habitual thoughts, feeling, words, and actions. That 40% is what we have power to change!So how can we learn to be happy? It takes practice, practice, practice. Here are three ways to get started.Power of positive thinking: Our negative selftalk is so powerful; it overwhelms(覆没)all other input. It therefore takes numerous positive experiences to overcome a single negative one. For each negative thought, state three positive qualities that you possess and start creating a new positive thought.Open your heart and share the best of you with others: Happy people are more giving, outgoing, flexible and creative. Does serving others make you happy or does being happy better enable you to be of service? What difference does it make? Just reach out and start giving!Honor yourself: Be gentle and forgiving toward yourself. You need to unconditionally love and approve of your innermost(内心的)being, which is the keystone that supports all gateways toward personal growth, fulfillment, and happiness.True happiness isnt a short pleasure but a sense of wholeness and fulfillment. Happiness is our right as human beings and to pursue happiness is our duty.Title: 51._52._53._Making it a habitReprogramming our brains by creating new emotional pathways54._55._Determine 10% of happinessGenetic genesDetermine 50% of happinessHabitual thoughts，feeling, words, and actionsDetermine 40% of happiness56._57._Overcome negative selftalk by 58._.State your positive qualities.Create new positive thoughts.Open your heart and 59._ with othersBe giving, outgoing, flexible and creative.Reach out and start giving.Honor yourselfBe 60._ toward yourself.Love and approve of your innermost being.ConclusionHappiness is our right and it is our duty to purs
