As Christmas is coming, there are presents to be bought, cards to be sent, and rooms to be cleaned. Parents are faced with difficult jobs of hiding presents from curious young children. If the gifts are large, this is sometimes a real    11 . On the Christmas Eve, young children find the excitement almost unbearable. They are torn between the wish to go to bed early so that Father Christmas will bring them presents quickly and the wish to   12  up late so that they will not   13  the fun. The wish for gifts usually proves stronger. But though children go to bed early, they often lie   14  for a long time, hoping to get a short look at Father Christmas.
Last Christmas, my wife and I   15  hid a few large presents in the storeroom. I   16  the moment when my son, Jimmy, would ask me where that new bike had come from, but fortunately he did not see it.
On Christmas Eve,   17   took the children hours to go to sleep. It must have been nearly   18  when my wife and I went quietly into their room and began   19  stockings. Then I pushed in the   20  I bought for Jimmy and left it beside the Christmas tree. We knew we would not get much sleep that night, for the children were   21  to get up early. At about five o’clock the next morning, we were   22  by loud sounds coming from the children’s room—they were shouting excitedly!   23   I had time to get out of bed, young Jimmy came riding into the room on his new bike, and his sister, Mary, followed close behind pushing her new baby carriage.   24  the baby arrived. He moved on the hands and knees into the room dragging a large balloon. We were woken up   25  by them at this time.

本文是记叙文。全文叙述了圣诞夜父母忙着给孩子准备礼物孩子们收到礼物时喜欢、雀跃的喜气景象。
小题1:C父母藏礼物不让孩子们发现是一个难题因此如果礼物很大父母能把它藏好确实是个麻烦事problem。
小题1:B “他们要在早去睡觉以便能尽快得到圣诞老人礼物及熬会儿夜以便不错过这个乐趣之间作出艰难选择。”torn between 意思是“在……中作出痛苦选择”。stay up late 意思是“熬夜”。
小题1:C A有较大干扰性。lose 意思是“丢失”而miss 意思是“错过”在这里作者是说“孩子们不想早睡以便不错过得到礼物的乐趣。”
小题1:A 从后文hoping to get a short 6 look at Father Christmas 我们得知孩子想亲眼看看圣诞老人是什么样子因此刚躺下时他们不想睡。
小题1: D 作者在前文讲到圣诞夜为孩子藏礼物是很难的事情从后文我们得知孩子们的礼物一直没有被他们事先发现因此说藏得很成功。
小题1:B “我”把新自行车藏在储藏室“我”真害怕他问“我”新自行车是从哪里来的。显然如果他这样问那就证明他已经发现了他的礼物。
小题1:D、it在这里作形式主语。
小题1:B 从下文We knew we would not get much sleep that night得此答案。
小题1:A 联系上下文我们可以得知妻子和“我”把礼物装进他们的stockings。
小题1:C A有较干扰性空前的pushed in 决定了A不正确从上文我们得知“我们”给Jimmy买的是一辆自行车。
小题1:B 为了及早看到自己得到的礼物孩子们是不会睡懒觉的因此“我们”确信孩子们会很早起床。
小题1: C第二天早五点钟“我们”就被孩子们的喊叫吵醒。其它答案均有一定干扰性。从前文我们得知孩子们在第二天早早晨醒来兴奋地大喊大叫是“我们”意料中的事因此其它答案不合题意。
小题1:A “我还没有来得及起床……”before 在这里是“没有来得及”的意思。
小题1:A 大孩子们都跑到了“我”的卧室“即便是婴儿也来了”。
小题1:D 孩子们的吵闹就让“我们”无法入睡气球的炸响让“我们”睡意全无。

How to improve my life? Many people think that they have to accept whatever life throws at them. They'll say, "This is my fate, my destiny. I cannot change it."
Of course not! You don't have to suffer needlessly. Your destiny depends on you, not on any other external factors.
I know someone who says she just accepts what life gives her because she has done everything she can to improve it. Guess what her lifestyle is? She wakes up in the morning, goes to work, comes back home, relaxes, chats with people, watches TV, then goes to sleep. Next day, the same routine cycle follows.
Huh! Is this what she calls "doing her best"? She believes she has tried her best and just accepts it in her heart that this is the life that God has intended for her to live; that her luck can only change if God wills it.  Of course God wants us to be happy and live our life to the fullest, but we have to do our share of exerting(运用) the effort to live the life of our dreams.
Remember that you reap what you sow. You just don't sit around and wait for a million dollars to fall from the sky. You have to get off the couch, get your eyes off the TV screen, get your hands off the phone. Don’t expect your luck to change unless you do something about it. If something goes wrong, don't just regard it as a temporary setback; but use it as feedback. Learn your lesson, make the most of the situation, and do something to solve the problem. It's not enough to think positively; you also have to act positively.
If someone's life is in the trouble, do you just hope and pray that things will turn out fine? Of course not! You get to do anything you can to save the person. So it is with your own life. It is not enough to hope for the best, but you have to do your best. In other words, don't just stand (or sit ) there, do something to improve your life.
小题1:According to the woman mentioned in Para.3, her life ____________. 
A.Doesn't need improvingB.couldn't be improved
C.will be better some dayD.Will be worse in the future
小题2:What does the author think of the woman's life?
A.positiveB.satisfyingC.colorfulD.passive
小题3:Which of the following statements is the author's opinion?
A.Your temporary problem is not discouraging.
B.Your luck can be changed by your efforts
C.You can only achieve success when God wills it.
D.You should treat yourself in the way you treat friends.
小题4:In Para.5, the author emphasized the importance of _____________.
A.positive actionB.positive thinkingC.hope for the bestD.intention to succeed
小题5:The text is mainly written to advise you to ____________.
A.understand yourselfB.improve your life

Department stores sell ready- to-wear clothing, which is also called ready-made clothing. Such clothing is made in fixed sizes. Those people who find that ready-made clothing fits them well can save money by buying it. Most often, people do not fit exactly into a producer’s size. Their clothing must be altered to make it fit better. However, most alterations are not very expensive. The small cost of most alterations means that ready-made clothing can meet the needs of most customers.
Those who can afford it often get someone to design and make their clothing. Such clothing is called custom-made. The person who makes it measures the customer, and then sews it so that it fits perfectly. Alterations are not needed. Custom-made clothing is largely sewn by hand, has better quality, better material, and is of the style you have chosen. Of course, it costs much more than ready-to-wear clothing. You need to pay the difference for the special fitting and better skill that you are receiving. This often means that you spend double or more than you would for a ready-made garment.
Custom-made clothing is not always that much better than ready-made clothing. It costs more partly because only one garment has been made, just for you. Companies that produce ready-made products make thousands of garments at a time. This means they can buy large quantities of material. Workers cut each size by the hundreds. Companies work out ways to make the garments quickly by machine and pay workers according to their skill. Thus they can sell the finished products at a low price while still making money. Most of the clothing sold in the United States is made in this way. Customers gain from the lower prices which are made possible by mass production. It may or may not give them high quality.
小题1: According to the passage, people who buy ready-made clothing ______.
A.wish to make alternationsB.will spend less money
C.want to make it betterD.can fit into the sizes
小题2:We can learn from the passage that custom-made clothing is_______.
A.specially made  B.fashionably designed
C.chosen by few people  D.made with difficulties
小题3:Which of the following is true about ready-made clothing?
A.It is of poor quality.  B.It suits all people.
C.It is labor-saving to make it.  D.It takes more time to make it
小题4:The purpose of the writer is _______.
A.to explain why custom-made clothing costs more
B.to show the advantages of mass production
C.to tell readers how to make money from ready-made clothing
D.to provide information about different kinds of clothing

Basketball is a sport enjoyed by millions of people in at least 100 countries. It’s one of the  26  sports in the world. It began in 1891.
Dr. James A. Naismith, the father of basketball, was a teacher of YMCA training school. It trained the people to work in YMCAs. Officials at the school were   27  about the low attendance during the   28  months. They   29  that people didn’t attend then   30  the school did not have a good sports program in winter. So they asked Dr. Naismith for   31 . He came up with a new indoor game.
Naismith studied games being played at that time. He found that all the most   32  games used a ball. So a ball would be part of his new game, he decided. But   33  the ball or hitting it would be too   34 for indoors. So he put two   35  up on the poles. The players had to try to   36  a ball into them. Naismith then made thirteen   37  for the game. Twelve of them are still in   38  today. Just seven   39  after the game began professional basketball teams were   40 . And that’s how basketball was born.

Dash of Hope
"Dash" is a symbol which represents every day we’ve spent alive on earth.Therefore, how you spend your "dash" is important.
Recently I   36  about a little girl named Hope.After learning more about her life, I couldn’t help but feel it was not by   37  , nor happenstance, that she had been named "Hope".The strong feeling of sympathy and generosity  38  in her young heart made a lasting impression on me and countless others 39   I never had the opportunity to meet her, I wish I had.It seems as though she was wise beyond her tender years and very, very special.

  Does your pet have a slim figure? According to the Association of Pet Obesity Prevention (APOP), about half of all dogs and nearly 60% of all indoor cats are overweight. Larry Kornegay, president of the American Veterinary Medical Association, says he sees an overweight pet nearly every day, and unusually the owner is overweight. So talking about the topic can be touchy. “I talk about their pet’s health. Still, some clients take it personally.”
Here are some tips for pet weight loss:
See the vet(兽医). Have your vet put together a plan and treat any existing medical problems. Pain relief and diet changes may be required for arthritic(患关节炎的) pets, which will allow for exercise to at least begin.
Skip the crash diet (an attempt to lose weight quickly by strictly limiting the diet). A special weight-loss diet may be suggested. For example, look for the supplement which burns fat and builds muscle mass in foods. Never place any pet on a crash diet, especially cats, which can suffer a potentially fatal liver disease as a result. There’s a safe weight-loss drug for dogs you can ask your vet about.
Dine alone. “Cut out treats and resist temptation by keeping pets out of the room you’re dining in,” says Chicago vet Sheldon Rubin. You can buy low-calorie treats for dogs and cats. Rubin also recommends mini carrots, small apple slices or blueberries for dogs. What’s important is finding other ways, aside from food, to show your love. Play with your cat using an interactive toy, and take your dog for walks. Walks are great for bonding, and good for you. Studies show people are actually more willing to lose weight themselves if it also will help their pet.
Feed pets at special times. Pre-measure food carefully—don’t give them a larger meal than ever—and leave it in various places, so pets sniff it out and use the stairs. It’s fun, and it’s good exercise.
小题1:. The underlined word “touchy” in Paragraph 1 probably means__________
A.sensitiveB.excitingC.movingD.pleasant
小题2:. What can be inferred from the passage?
A.Overweight people usually like overweight pets.
B.Pets’ weight is easier to lose than humans’.
C.Cats have a greater chance of serious liver disease.
D.Overweight people often ignore their pets’ weight.
小题3: Which of the following methods is healthy for your pets?
A.Providing them with mini carrots or blueberries.
B.Keeping them with you when you’re dining.
C.Supplying them with larger meals or drinks.
D.Leaving the food in a fixed place for your pets.
小题4:. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A.How to feed pets without a crash diet.
B.The importance of pet weight loss.
C.How to help pets lose weight.
D.The problems that pets will meet.
