It is said a fish head is good for brain. If you eat one, youll become cleverer indeed. Pay only three pounds for one fish head.” The boy paid him three pounds and the fisherman cut off a fish head and handed it to him. A raw fish head is not goodnot even for a hungry boy to eat but the boy ate it up intwo gulps. “Do you feel anything?” asked the fisherman. “Not in my head,” said the boy. The boy lay on the ground and thought. “One whole fish costs only two pounds. I have paid him three pounds for the fish head. Why couldnt I have the whole fish for soup, a head for brain and one pound left over?” He jumped up and shouted at the fisherman. “You thief! You are fooling me!” The fisherman laughed, saying, “The fish head works now, you see.”21.The boy ate up the raw fish head only in two gulps, because he _.A. took it as a good medicine B.wanted to taste itC.enjoyed it D.was a foolish boy22.The boy came to the fisherman in order to _.A.buy a fish head B.get fish from himC.buy a whole fish D.ask the fisherman a question.23.The boy paid three pounds.

White had two reasons for making this epic journey. First of all, he wanted to use the trip to raise money for charity, which he did. He raised 70,000 for the British charity, Oxfam. Whites second reason for making the trip was to break the world record and become the fastest person to cycle around the world. He is still waiting to find out if he has broken the record or not.White set off from Trafalgar Square, in London, on 19th June 2020 and was back 299 days later. He spent more than l,300 hours in the saddle（车座） and destroyed four sets of tyres and three bike chains. He had the adventure of his life crossing Europe, the Middle East, India, Asia, Australia, New Zealand and the Americas. Amazingly, he did all of this with absolutely no support team. No jeep carrying food, water and medicine. No doctor. Nothing! Just a bike and a very, very long road.The journey was lonely and desperate at times. He also had to fight his way across deserts, through jungles and over mountains. He cycled through heavy rains and temperatures of up to 45 degrees, all to help people in need. There were other dangers along the road. In Iran, he was chased by armed robbers and was lucky to escape with his life and the little money he had. The worst thing that happened to him was having to cycle into a headwind on a road that crosses the south of Australia. For l,000 kilometers he battled against the wind that was constantly pushing him. This part of the trip was slow, hard work and depressing, but he made it in the end. Now Mr. White is back and intends to write a book about his adventures.25When Phil White returned from his trip, he_.A. collected money for Oxfam B.broke the world recordC. destroyed several bikes D. travelled about 1 300 hours26What does the word epic in Paragraph l most probably mean?A. Very slow but exciting. B. Very lonely and depressing.C. Very smooth but tiring. D. Very long and difficult.27During his journey around the world, Phil White _.A. fought heroically against robbers in IranB. managed to ride against the wind in AustraliaC. experienced the extremes of heat and coldD. had a team of people who travelled with him28Which of the following words can best describe Phil White?A. Determined. B. Independent. C. Modest. D. Imaginative.CDo you often lose things? Dont worry. Now a new tool, which can be connected to any object you might lose, may be the way to solve your problem. The Tile, a small square linked up to your iphone or ipad by means of Bluetooth, lets you see how close you are to your missing item, within a 50-to-150-foot range (范围). If the item goes out of your phones 150-foot range, it can still be found on other smart phones with the same app.When you drive the app on your phone, it shows you, with green bars that increase or decrease, how close or far away you are from the Tile. You can also program it to make a sound when you get close to the Tile. And you can link up your phone with up to ten Tiles. And if your lost object a dog, for example, or a stolen bike go out of your own phones 150-foot Bluetooth range, you can set it as a “lost item”. If any of the phones with the Tile app comes within range of your lost item, a message will be sent to your phone, telling you its position. The Tile app also has the function to remember where it last saw your Tile, so that you can easily find where you left it.Since the Tiles use Bluetooth rather than GPS, they are never out of battery or neednt to be charged, and they work for one year before needing to be replaced. And the app works with all generations of iPhones and iPads.For further information, please visit www. .29What can the Tile app help you?A. To find other phone users. B. To use your phone more wisely.C. To save your phones power. D. To find your missing items.30What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. How the Tile app works. B.What the Tile app is.C. Why the Tile app was created. D. What the advantages of the Tile app are.31Where does the passage probably come from?A. A news report. B. Science fiction.C. A personal diary. D. An advertisement.DHow many times have you been to the doctors office and listen to an educated professional explain something to you that is just meaningless. These people keep asking you , “Do you understand ?”and sometimes out of embarrassment because you dont want to look like stupid, you tell them, “Yes, I do understand. ”This isnt a good way to communicate either.How do we communicate in a positive way to get our points across（使被理解）? Ask the person you are communicating with if they understand what you just said, if someone is talking to you, then use the statement ,“Just to make Sure That I Understand What You Just Said”and then repeat back your understanding of their conversation. Sometimes just asking a few simple questions and clarifying your understanding can bring great benefits to any communication.In some countries like Japan for instance , you might find them reading your body language more than the words you are communicating with. Sometimes just by the way someone stands or reacts to something you said, you can get a valuable insight to what the other person means in this conversation. Dont forget however this could lead to a misunderstanding also. Again if you think someone is communicating with their body language , try not to assume （假设）that you know for a fact what message they are trying to get across. Always ask them if they understand what you are talking about.A person is responsible for what he says and to make sure that the other person completely understands the point he is trying to get across. Why not start using some of the simple skills used in this article to help with your communication skill, you will start to see the benefits within a short period of time.32. According to the author , you cant catch a doctor because_A. he cant make himself understood.B. you are a complete idiot.C. he keeps asking you questions.D. you dont pay enough attention to him.33. As a listener , you should _to ensure（保证） a good communication.A. listen carefully and quietly.B. take some notes while listeningC. retell the conversation in your own words.D. ask the speaker to speak slowly and clearly34. Whats the main idea of the passage?A. How to Express Yourself PositivelyB .Communication and Body LanguageC. Simple Good Communication SkillsD. Communication and Misunderstanding35. From the passage we can learn that _A .communication skills in the passage need a long time to practiceB. youd better not ask any questions in communicating with othersC. one cannot completely understand a conversation only by body languageD. communication has nothing to do with the ability of reading and writing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How to Keep a Relationship Healthy and Strong Are you new to experiencing relationships Well, let me give you advice on having a healthy and possibly long-term relationship.36 Do not hide things from them. Do not lie. Dont be afraid to say things that isnt very flattering(令人愉悦的) about yourself. Getting them to trust you is the most important element in any relationship. If theres no trust, theres nothing there. So please be honest and theyll learn to open up to you. Make sure you give them respect. Now respect isnt just simply treating her or him nicely. Theres a lot more to it. You have to learn to adjust to their liking. 37 Dont just think about yourself, think about what your partner needs out of it as well. 38 Always be willing to help them and give them honesty and positivity at the same time.

Make sure you are encouraging your partner.C.Be an honest person with them.D.Dont start to neglect them and make them feel unwanted.E.Laughter keeps the relationship strong and lasting.F.If they did something that made you unhappy, tell them about it in a respectful manner.G.
