We would be going to see The Matinee?” We had a bath and all dressed up (打扮). It was like getting ready for a birthday party. We hurried outside the house, not wanting to _the bus. At the bus stop, Mom said, “Girls, we are not going to the movies today.”“What?” we said. “What do you mean? Arent we going to The Matinee? Mom, you said that we are going to The Matinee.” Mother gathered us in her arms. I couldnt understand why there were tears in her eyes.

I dont ever want to lie again and Im sure you dont want to lie again either. People must be able to _ each other. Do you understand?”We understood. We would never forget.

The best title for the passage isALOVE IS ALLBHELP PRODUCES LOVECFRIENDS IN NEEDDTWO LOVELY MICEI try to avoid things that can cause me pain, especially things that require heavy lifting. Moving is one thing. We were preparing to move recently, to a new home, which was within a stones throw from my new office. Although moving requires heavy lifting, I have to move on occasion, physically and emotionally, to a new home, a new job, a new relationship or a whole new stage of life. Its called change, and it has two stages. The first stage of change is letting go. Its hard, especially letting go of something or someone you love. But one day you realize that you cant keep holding on to whatever is holding you back. So you give thanks for the gift that it has been. Then you open your arms and your heart and simply set it free. See what I experienced. I did that for months, every time I groaned with pain going up or down the stairs. I like my knees and Id like them to keep serving me for as long as I need them. So I decided to say goodbye to those stairs, and to the house I loved. Its entirely exhausting. But you pack up all your memories and take them to a new place, a new chapter of your life. The second stage of change is finding joy. For a few days after we moved, I kept searching for things I couldnt find. Getting ready one morning for an appointment, I needed to wash my hair, but couldnt find the hairdryer. I knew all the things like that were probably in one of a dozen boxes in our garage. But which box? We kept opening boxes until we found the dryer. It was like opening Christmas gifts. Besides, our new place is half as big as the old one, with a thousand times the view. I like to look at mountains in the new house. They remind me of the place where I grew up, and make me feel at home. Meanwhile, we are surely finding joy: the joy of living in the present; the joy of welcoming family and friends to our new home; the joy of delighting in simple things like stars. Were especially thankful for the joy of knowing that moving was the right decision. At least it seems so at the moment.40 . Which advice would the author give according to the third paragraph?AKeep the past time in mind when you are leaving.BHold on to something you love when you are extremely tired.CWrite a thank-you note when something in your life holds you back.DLet go of something or someone you value when you are moving on.41 . How does the author explain the two stages of change?ABy comparing situations.BBy giving examples.CBy listing data.DBy asking questions.42 . What is the passage mainly about?ATips on how to make preparations for moving.BIdeas on how to view changes in life.CInformation on how to find joy in moving.DAdvice on how to make a right decision.43 . What is the authors attitude towards “moving”?AAnxious.BUninterested.CGrateful.DUncertain.Lions are opportunists. They prefer to eat without having to do too much work. When resting in the shade, they are also watching the sky to see what is flying by, and even in the heat of the day they will suddenly start up and run a mile across the plains to find out what is going on. If another animal has made a kill, they will drive it off and take the kill for themselves. A grown lion can easily eat 60 pounds of meat at a single feeding. Often they eat until it seems painful for them to lie down.The lionesses (母狮) , being thinner and faster, are better hunters than the males. But the males dont mind. After the kill they move in and take the test share.Most kills are made at night or just before daybreak. We have seen many, many daylight attempts but only ten kills. Roughly, its about twenty daytime attempts for one kill.When lions are hiding for an attack by a water hole, they wait patiently and can charge at any second. The kill is the exciting moment in the day-to-day life of the lion, since these great animals spend most of their time, about 20 hours a day, sleeping and resting.Lions are social cats, and when they are having a rest, they love to touch each other. After drinking at a water hole, a lioness rests her head on anothers back. When walking, young lions often touch faces with older ones, an act of close ties among members of the group.44 . By describing lions as “opportunists” in the first paragraph, the author means to say that lions _.Aare cruel animalsBare clever animalsClike to take advantage of other animalsDlike to take every chance to eat45 . According tothe text, which of the following is true?ALions make most kills in the daytime.BMales care more about eating than active killing.CLions are not interested in things happening around them.DIt doesnt take lions too much time to make a kill.46 . How can we know that lions are social animals?AThey depend on each other.BThey look after each other well.CThey readily share what they have.DThey enjoy each others company.47 . What would be the best title for the text?APowerful LionsBLions at Work and PlayCLions, Social CatsDLions, Skilled Hunters五、根据首字母、中文提示填空填空题48 .
