第一节（共15小题；每题2分，满分30分）阅读下列短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。
A
Owning pet birds is not just feeding them when necessary. You have to be very responsible if you have decided to keep birds as pets．If you really want to acquire a companion, think in advance whether you are able to handle it．
Depending on what pet bird you are going to have and how big it is, the cost is different．For example, the cost of a comfortable cage, the cost for nutritional food and the money for some additional things should be taken into consideration．There are also some unexpected cost．For example, when your pet bird gets sick, you have to send for a vet（兽医）.
You may think that you do not have free time to have a dog so you’d better have a pet bird because it doesn’t require a lot of attention．You are wrong! Some people even do not have time for a short sleep．They will not have enough time for pets, either．For good bird health it is very important to handle them and play with them as much as you can．
Also there are a lot of people who think that birds do not require a lot of space and they are wrong again. They also need to fly so if you do not have space for it, you’d better reconsider the things．
But do not forget the great advantage of having a pet bird．In the animal kingdom, birds rank near the top when it comes to smarts. You can have a friend for life if you take good care of it．It’s a real character and can bring joy and colour in your home．
21．What is the text mainly about?
A．The advantages of keeping a pet bird．
B．Things to consider if you want to keep a pet bird．
C．The reasons for keeping a pet bird．
D．Different types of pets for different people．
22．We can learn from the second paragraph that ．
A．you have to be very rich to keep a pet bird
B．some cost of keeping a pet bird is unnecessary
C．the cost of having a pet bird is unpredictable sometimes
D．it is very easy to calculate the cost of having a pet bird
23．If you want to have a pet bird, you needn’t consider ．
A．the space a pet bird needs to fly B．the cost of having a pet bird
C．the time taken to care for a pet bird D．the knowledge about a pet bird
B
Sydney—A shark savaged a schoolboy's leg while he was surfing with his father at a beach in Sydney on February 23．It was the third shark attack along the coast of Australia's largest city in a month．
The 15-year-old boy and his father were in the water off Avalon, on Sydney's northern beaches, around dawn when he was attacked．The city's beaches are packed with locals and tourists during the summer months．
"The father heard a scream and turned to see his son trashing（扭动）about in the water," police said．"Fortunately, the shark swam away and the boy was helped to shore by his father．
Lifesaving Club spokesman Nick Miller: "It got him around the top of his left leg and the father came and dragged him out of water．" He said the boy was bleeding heavily when he was brought to shore．"There was a lot of pain, as you can imagine"．The teenager was airlifted to hospital for treatment for leg injuries．
Police said the bites" cut through to the bone" , but the boy did not appear to have sustained any fractures （骨折）．He was in a stable condition now．
Several beaches were closed after the attack．Water police and lifeguards were searching for the shark, while police hoped to identify its species by the shape of the bite marks．But they said it was too early to say what type of shark attacked the boy．"I don't even know if he saw it," Miller said．
Many shark species live in the waters off Sydney's beaches, but attacks on humans are still relatively rare．However, there were two attacks on successive days earlier this month, one on a navy diver in Sydney harbor, not far from the famous Opera House, and the other on a surfer at the city's world-famous Bondi beach．
Fishermen say shark numbers are on the rise．There is a ban on commercial fishing in the harbor, which has increased fish stocks.Marine experts also claim environmental protection has created a cleaner environment, attracting sharks closer to shore as they chase fish．Many shark species, including the Great White—the man-eater made famous in Steven Spielberg's Jaws—are protected in Australian waters．
24．The report mainly tells us _______．
A．a boy was attacked by a shark at a Sydney beach
B．sharks attacked humans three times in one month
C．shark attacks on humans are on the rise
D．shark numbers are increasing in the waters off Sydney's beaches
25．The underlined word" savaged "in the first paragraph probably means _______．
A．attracted B．dragged C．packed D．bit
26．What do we know about the city of Sydney from the passage?
A．It is one of the largest cities in Australia．
B．Sydney harbor is not far from the famous Opera House．
C．There are many locals and tourists on its coast all year round．
D．There are few shark species in the waters off Sydney's beaches．
27．All the follwings are the causes of Australia's sharks increasing EXCEPT that_______．
A．environmental protection has created a cleaner environment
B．a ban on commercial fishing has increased fish numbers
C．the film Jaws made the Great White famous
D．many shark species are protected in Australia waters
C
Living and dealing with kids can be a tough job these days, but living and dealing with parents can be even tougher.
If I have learned anything in my 16 years, it is that communication is very important, both when you disagree and when you get along with any relationship, you need to let the other person know how you are feeling. If you are not able to communicate, you drift apart. When you are mad at your parents, or anyone else, not talking to them doesn’t solve anything.
Communication begins with the concerns of another. It means that you can’t just come home from school, go up to your room and ignore everyone. Even if you just say “Hi”, and see how their day was for five minutes, it is better than nothing.
If you looked up the word “communication” in a dictionary, it would say “the exchange of ideas, the conveyance of information; means of communication: a letter or a message”. To maintain a good relationship, you must keep communication strong. Let people know how you feel, even if it’s just by writing a note.
When dealing with parents, you always have to make them feel good about how they are doing as a parent. If you are trying to make them see something as you see it, tell them that you’ll listen to what they have to say, but ask them politely to listen to you. Yelling or walking away only makes the situation worse.
This is an example: one night, Sophie went to a street party with her friends. She knew she had to be home by midnight after the fireworks, but she didn’t feel she could just ask to go home. That would be rude. After all, they had been nice enough to take her along with them. Needless to say, she was late getting home. Her parents were mad at first, not when Sophie explained why she was late, they weren’t as mad and let the incident go. Communication is the key factor here. If Sophie’s parents had not been willing to listen, Sophie would have been in a lot of trouble.
Communication isn’t a one-way deal: it goes both ways. Just remember: if you get into a situation like Sophie’s, telling the other person how you feel — listening is the key factor to communication.
28. In the writer’s view, dealing with parents is _______ than with children.
A. more difficult
B. easier
C. more uninteresting
D. more interesting
29. The underlined phrase “ drift apart” in Paragraph 2 means __________.
A．keep up with others B．move along smoothly
C．distance yourself form others D．come closer to each other
30. The example in this passage proves that _______.
A. communication is the solution to misunderstanding
B. Sophie is very polite to her parents
C. Sophie did well in explaining her being late
D. Sophie’s parents are willing to listen to her
31. All the following statements are correct except _______.
A. If you don’t agree with others, you’d better let them know
B. If you are not able to communicate, walk away
C. It is better to say “Hi” to others than say nothing
D. Communication is a two-way deal
D
I always figured that comedians were the best kind of people to hang around with as a kid. They tell funny stories, make joke after joke, and happiness seems never to leave them. But time goes on, and we come to see these same people as clowns on the outside, but crying a river in the inside. Comedy from these people comes from a deep pain and sadness in their lives, or out of a deep-seated anger they have at the world around them.
Look at Richard Pryor, need I say more? Richard seemed to have everything. For Superman , he ended up getting more money than Christopher Reeve did. Yet he said while he was in his forties that the last truly happy moment he remembered in his life was when he was jumping around in the dirt while pretending to be a cowboy at the age of 10. This guy set himself on fire, and he played that for laugh while performing live at the Sunset Strip! Comedy was his constant weapon against pain, and he never held anything back.
The movie Funny People understand very well this gloomy field many comedians have to survive in. It stars Adam Sandler as George Simmons, a famous comedian in the movie. Simmons has it all: a beautiful mansion overlooking the sea, a swimming pool, great cars, and so on. But in his eyes, we see that he is a sad man who has come to truly look down upon himself for what he has become. All the wealth he has collected only serves to separate him from the rest of the world and it makes him defensive when around total strangers who cannot see him as a normal person. But now , he hears from his doctor that he has a terminal disease and has only months left to live. Simmons reacts to this news as if someone took away his blood in the heart, and it makes him clearly see just how much he hates his life. So now he has to make every minute count. Then come a series of funny stories.
Comedy is just life as it is , isn’t it?
32. What can we infer about “comedians” according to the text?
A. Comedians like to get along with kids.
B. Comedians’ life is full of jokes.
C. Comedians often cry in their daily life.
D. Comedians often use their sad experience
33. When was the happiest moment for Richard Pryor?
A. When he played the part of Superman Ⅲ.
B. When he got more money than Christopher Reeve.
C. When he performed live at the Sunset Strip.
D. When he pretended to be a cowboy in the childhood.
34. Why was George Simmons unhappy?
A. He had no friends at all
B. He wasn’t accepted by the outside world
C. He spent too much on his house
D. He was hated by all the strangers around
35. By saying “Comedy is just life as it is, isn’t it?”，the author means__________.
A. comedy comes from the sadness in real life
B. life like comedy will make you happy
C. there is no happiness at all in real life
D. life is full of comedy in reality

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。
Although problems are a part of our lives,it certainly doesn’t mean that we let them rule our lives forever. One day or the other, you’ll have to stand up and say ----- problem, I don’t want you in my life.
36 Problems with friends, parents, girlfriends, husbands, and children – the list goes on. Apart from these, the inner conflicts within ourselves work, too. These keep adding to our problems. Problems come in different shapes and colors and feelings.
But good news is that all problems can be dealt with. Now read on to know how to solve your problems.
Talk, it really helps. What most of us think is that our problem can be understood only by us and that no talking is going to help. 37 Talking helps you move on and let go.
Write your problems. 38 When you write down your problems, you are setting free all the tension from your system. You can try throwing away the paper on which you wrote your problems. By doing this, imagine yourself throwing away the problems from your life.
Don’t lose faith and hope. No matter what you lose in life, don’t lose faith and hope. Even if you lose all your money, family… you should still have faith. 39
Your problems aren’t the worst. No matter what problem you get in life, there’re another one million people whose problems are huger than yours. 40 Your problems might just seem big and worse, but in reality they can be removed. Go about and solve your problems because every problem, however big or small, always has a way out.
A．We can often overcome the problem and achieve the goal by making a direct attack.
B．When we have a problem, a pressing, critical, urgent, life-threatening problem, how do we try and solve it?
C．But the truth is that when you talk about it, you’re setting free the negative energies that have been gathering within you.
D．Tell yourself: when they can deal with them, why can’t I?
E．Of course, we’ve been fighting troubles ever since we were born.
F．With faith and hope, you can rebuild everything that you lose.
G．Having a personal diary can also be of huge help if you don’t want a real person to talk with.
