A. Pride and Prejudice (Jane Austen)

   The classic love story explores the lives of the five Bennet sisters at the turn of the 19th century in rural England. At that time women were not allowed to get their father’s wealth after his death, so their mother is desperate to marry them off into wealthy families. Therefore various love stories start with the question — whether marriage is for love or for money.

B. The Red and the Black (Stendhal)

   Julien has a strong desire for power and glory, and for ridding himself of his low social status as the son of a tradesman. Thus, he tries every means to achieve his goal.

   The two colors, red and black, symbolize his inner struggle between being sincere and false. And this conflict in his character finally brings about his downfall.

C. Jane Eyre (Charlotte Bronte)

   There is great kindness and warmth in this love story. Poor and plain as Jane Eyre is, she has a strong will, sharp wisdom and great courage. She is forced to battle against a harsh employer and a rigid social order. Yet she is never defeated. Standing on her feet, she gains her own happiness in the end.

D. Oliver Twist (Charles Dickens)

It reflects people’s tragic life in Britain in the 18th century. In the story, Oliver Twist, a mild young boy, is born in the workhouse and stays there until he is made to leave. What waits for him next is the falseness of the wealthy and the depths to which poverty pushes the human spirit.

E. Gone with the wind (Margaret Mitchell)

   This is an all-time best-seller by Margaret Mitchell. The story takes place during the American Civil War. It records the tragic love stories of Katie Scarlet O’Hara, a southern beauty. In the end of the story, Scarlett is left only with her Tara, a plantation which symbolizes the culture of the Old South, a place where she could ever gather her strength.

F. The Adventure of Tom Sawyer (Mark Twain)

   Tom Sawyer, a naughty boy in the quiet town of St. Petersburg, unexpectedly witnesses the murder of Dr. Robinson. At first he is frightened and keeps it a secret.

Bloodsucking bed bugs (臭虫) have made a comeback in recent years. But as victims of affection have become increasingly desperate to rid their homes of the disturbing pests, many have only done themselves more harm.

Bed bugs do not transmit disease or cause illness — but the insecticides used to make them do. A total of 111 illnesses associated with bed bug-related insecticides were reported in seven states between 2003 and 2011, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) said on Thursday. Most cases of poisoning were not severe, but the data included one death.

That case involved a 65-year-old woman in North Carolina who died in 2011. After she complained to her husband about bed bugs, the CDC report said, he sprayed the inside of their home, including the baseboard, walls, and the area around the bed, with the insecticide Ortho Home Defense Max. He then applied a different product, Ortho Lawn and Garden Insect Killer, to their bedding. Neither insecticide is registered for use against bed bugs, the CDC said. That day, the couple also emptied nine cans of Hot Shot Fogger in their home. Two days later, they reapplied the insecticides and released nine more cans of Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer. The woman then applied the insecticide Hot Shot Bedbug and Insect Killer directly to her arms and chest, and wet her hair with it before covering her head with a plastic cap.

Two days later, her husband found her. She was taken to the hospital where she remained on a ventilator (呼吸器) for nine days until she died. The woman had had a history of health problems, including kidney (肾) failure, heart disease, high blood pressure and, and depression, the CDC report said. She had been taking at least 10 kinds of medicine at the time of her death.

Aside from the one reported death, most other cases of poisoning were mild. Commonly reported symptoms of exposure included headache and dizziness, breathing difficulties.

When a first-time father saw his newborn son, he immediately noticed the baby's ears obviously standing out from his head. He expressed his concern to the nurse that some children might tease his child. A doctor examined the baby and reassured the new dad that his son was healthy- the ears presented only a minor problem with its appearance.

But the nervous father persisted. He wondered if the child might suffer psychological effects of ridicule, or if they should consider plastic surgery(整形手术). The nurse assured him that it was really no problem, and he should just wait to see if the boy grows into his ears.

The father finally felt more optimistic about his child, but now he worried about his wife's reaction to those large ears. She had been delivered by operation, and had not yet seen the child.

“She doesn't take things as easily as I do,” he said to the nurse.

By this time, the new mother was settled in the recovery room and ready to meet her new baby. The nurse went along with the dad to lend some support in case this inexperienced mother became upset about her baby's large ears.

The baby was in a receiving blanket with his head covered for the short trip through the cold air-conditioned corridor. The baby was placed in his mother's arms, who eased the blanket back so that she could look at her child for the first time.

She took one look at her baby's face and looked to her husband and gasped, “Oh, Honey! Look! He has your ears!”

No problem with Mom. She married those ears...and she loves the man to whom they are attached.

The poet Kahlil Gibran said, “Beauty is not in the face; beauty is a light in the heart.” It's hard to see the ears when you're looking into the light.

C. She suggested having an operation on the baby immediately.

D. She found something similar between the baby and its father.

After three years on horseback, Tim Cope has followed the route of Genghis Khan(成吉思汗) and other Asian nomads(游牧民族) who crossed into Europe over the centuries.

The 28-year-old Australian arrived in Hungary on Saturday, Sept. 22, ending a 6200-mile travel through Mongolia, Kazakhstan, Southern Russia and Ukraine. Surrounded by his traveling companions — his dog and three horses, Cope said,“I’m very happy to be here. Sometimes I didn’t think I would ever arrive.”

Cope was inspired to make the horseback journey during a bicycle trip from Moscow to Beijing. Trying to push his bike through the sands of the Gobi Desert, Cope watched in frustration as nomad horsemen appeared out of nowhere and disappeared over the horizon.

That got him interested in nomad life and the journey by ancient Asian groups. He set off from Mongolia in 2004 for a trip he thought would take 18 months. It ended up taking three years, and in late 2006, he had to return to Australia for several months when his father died in a car crash.

Cope quickly learned to trust the wisdom of locals. “In Mongolia, the nomads always told me that wolves were the most dangerous things and I didn’t believe them at first.” he said. Then one night he found himself surrounded by wolves. “When you hear that cry alone at night in the forest, it’s one of the most frightening sounds you’ll ever hear,” Cope said. “After that I took their advice and threw firecrackers out my tent door every night to keep the wolves away.”

Cope says he probably spent about half of his nights in his tent and the rest in farm houses and huts of strangers along the way. “In Kazakhstan, they believe that if you invite a guest, luck will fly into your house.”

Cope wants to write a book and shoot a film about his voyage, and is already imagining future adventures in northwest China and the Middle East.

“It’s my way of life. It was not just a trip,” Cope said. “I’ll be back in the saddle(马鞍) as soon as I can.”

31. Tim Cope decided to make the horseback journey because      .

A. it was impossible to make the journey by bike

B. Genghis Khan was the person he admired most

C. he wanted to visit Hungary where he had never been

D. he was fascinated by the life of nomad horsemen

32. What is the correct time order of the following events?

a. Tim Cope went through the Gobi desert.

b. Tim Cope arrived in Hungary.

c. Tim Cope left Mongolia.

d. Tim Cope returned to Australia.

A. a-c-d-b

B. c-d-b-a

C. b-a-c-d

D. c-a-d-b

33. Tim Cope arrived in Hungary in         .

A. March, 2004

B. March, 2006

C. September, 2006

D. September, 2007

34. Cope’s words underlined in the last paragraph mean that he will       .

A. come back to Australia

B. devote his life to adventures

C. travel on horseback soon

D. take this journey again

35. The passage is mainly about         .

A. an Australian’s ambition to take adventures

B. a rider who completes a horseback journey

C. a modern young man who lives nomad life

D. following Genghis Khan to cross into Europe

Whether we’re 2 years old or 62, our reasons for lying are mostly the same: to get out of trouble, for personal gain and to make ourselves look better in the eyes of others. But a growing body of research is raising questions about how a child’s lie is different from an adult’s lie, and how the way we deceive changes as we grow.

“Parents and teachers who catch their children lying should not be alarmed. Their children are not going to turn out to be abnormal liars,” says Dr. Lee, a professor at the University of Toronto and director of the Institute of Child Study. He has spent the last 15 years studying how lying changes as kids get older, why some people lie more than others as well as which factors can reduce lying. The fact that children tell lies is a sign that they have reached a new developmental stage. Dr. Lee conducted a series of studies in which they bring children into a lab with hidden cameras. Children and young adults aged 2 to 17 are likely to lie while being told not to look at a toy, which is put behind the child’s back. Whether or not the child takes a secret look is caught on tape.

For young kids, the desire to cheat is big and 90% take a secret look in these experiments. When the test-giver returns to the room, the child is asked if he or she looked secretly. At age 2, about a quarter of children will lie and say they didn’t. By 3, half of kids will lie, and by 4, that figure is 90%, studies show.

Researchers have found that it’s kids with better understanding abilities who lie more. That’s because to lie you also have to keep the truth in mind, which includes many brain processes, such as combining several sources of information and faking that information. The ability to lie — and lie successfully — is thought to be related to development of brain regions that allow so called “executive functioning”, or higher order thinking and reasoning abilities. Kids who perform better on tests that involve executive functioning also lie more.

26. What’s the purpose of children telling lies?

A. To help their friends out.

B. To get rid of trouble.

C. To get attention from others.

D. To create a popular image.

27. The underlined word “deceive” in Paragraph 1 can be replaced by “　　　 ”.

A. tell lies

B. handle troubles

C. raise questions

D. do research

28. From the second paragraph we can know that 　　　.

A. which factors can reduce lying

B. why some lie more than others

C. it is normal for kids to tell lies

D. how lying changes as kids grow

29. It can be inferred from the passage that 　　　 .

A. children’s lies are the same as adults’

B. the better kids are, the more they lie

C. the older kids are, the more they lie

D. kids always keep the truth in their mind

30. What is NOT included in the passage?

A. The reasons why kids tell lies.

B. Which kind of kids tells more lies.

C. Experiments about lying of young kids.

D. What to do with lying children.

I was feeling sad because my mother was out of job. It left me wondering 　16   was going to happen to us.

I got off the college shuttle bus and started walking. Then I heard piano music and singing rising above the noise of the people and the traffic. I walked much　17   (slow) so I could find out where it was coming 　18  . Through the crowd I saw a young lady sitting at a piano with a carriage next to her.  She was singing songs　19    love and keeping on trying, and not underestimating（低估） the power within yourself. The way she was singing comforted me a bit. I stood there 　20  (watch) her play for about fifteen minutes, thinking that 　21   must take courage to perform on her own in the middle of a crowd. 

She must have felt my presence because she would occasionally look in my direction.

I walked over，　24   (put) some money in her carriage and said, "Thank you. I have been going through a rough time lately, but you've made me 　25  (hope) again."

       Mr. Whitson taught six-grade science. On the first day of class, he gave us a lecture about a creature called cattywampus, an animal that died out during the Ice Age.
