It’s a time to get together with friends or family and welcome in the coming year. New Year’s Eve parties can take place at a number of different places. Some people hold a house party; others attend street parties, while some just go to their local for a few drinks with their mates. Big cities, like London, have large and wonderful fireworks shows. There’s one thing that all New Year’s Eve parties have in common: the countdown(倒计时) to midnight. When the clock strikes(敲)twelve, people give a loud cheer, and give each other a kiss. They then link arms and sing a song called Auld Lang Syne, by a Scottish poet called Robert Burns. Not many people can remember all the words of the song, but the tune(旋律) is well known, so lots of people just hum along. The parties then continue into the early hours of the morning with lots of dancing and drinking. Other people might spend the day visiting relatives or friends they haven’t managed to catch up with for a while. Whatever happens, New Year’s Day tends to be very relaxed. In Britain, it’s popular to make a promise to yourself about something you are going to do, or want to stop doing, in the New Year. This is called a New Year’s resolution. Typical resolutions include giving up smoking and joining a gym to get fit. However, the promise is often broken quite quickly and people are back into their bad habits within weeks or days. New Year’s Day is the last bank holiday of the festive season, which means most people have to go to work the next day: bright and fresh and ready for the new year ahead! 21. New Year’s Eve parties in Britain ________. A. end at midnight                        B. can only be held indoors C. only take place in big cities            D. include countdown to midnight 22. The underlined word “hum” in Paragraph 2 probably means________. A. dancing to the music                    B. singing with your mouth closed C. learning to sing                        D. keeping silent 23. What does the author think of the New Year’s resolution? A. It can help people keep fit.                B. It’s a promise to your family. C. It’s often hard to keep.                 D. It’s a joke played on New Year’s Day. 24. What is the main idea of the passage? A. New Year parties in Britain.            B. New Year countdown in Britain. C. New Year’s resolution in Britain.        D. New Year celebration in Britain. B Goedeker's loves to see happy customers, so every year we host a drawing competition in January and July, and one lucky person receives an iPad Mini. Goedeker’s customers can enter the competition through many ways, such as sending product or customer reviews. When I spoke to July’s drawing winner, I couldn’t believe the encouraging story behind her efforts. Sari Bailey entered the drawing competition in hopes of winning the iPad Mini for her blind granddaughter, Aubrey. Aubrey, soon-to-be 4 years old, was born with a rare condition called Septo-Optic Dysplasia. The condition, also known as De Morsier’s Syndrome, happens when the optic(视觉的) nerves do not develop fully before the baby is born. Aubrey once had an iPad Mini, given to her by the Gia Foundation, which provides an iPad Mini to the blind once a year. However, it was stolen, and her family did not know how they could replace it. The iPad was extremely important to Aubrey’s development, as she uses it for intensive therapy(强化治疗). Each week, Aubrey works through an hour of physical and speech therapy. While Aubrey may struggle with her sight, she loves music and plays the piano and sings fairly well for a three-year-old! As one can imagine, the iPad plays a huge role in this. She also finished her first year of school in May. Sari says, "We are very happy for her progress. We like to have as many tools for learning as possible available to Aubrey, thus, my desire for the winning of the iPad Mini! She is a very special little girl and I love her dearly." Here at Goedeker’s, we wish Aubrey the very best, and we hope she loves the new iPad Mini! 25. Why did Sari take part in the drawing competition? A. To win an iPad Mini for her granddaughter. B. To make customers at Goedeker’s happy. C. To encourage her granddaughter to draw. D. To prove her drawing talent to her family. 26. How long has Aubrey been suffering from her illness? A. More than 1 year.                    B. Around 2 years. C. Less than 3 years.                    D. Almost 4 years. 27. The iPad Mini is special to Aubrey because________. A. it’s a prize received by her grandmother B. it’s a tool for the treatment of her illness C. it’s something her family can’t afford D. it teaches her to sing and play the piano 28. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage? A. The Yearly Competition at Goedker’s.    B. The Brave Girl Fighting Rare Disease C. iPad Mini Winner Shares the Love        D. The New iPad Mini from Grandmother C It has long been thought that first-born children are more successful than their younger brothers and sisters and often have qualities of being more organised and responsible as well as being eager to be in charge. But a new study has shown that the elder child's achievements can help improve their younger siblings(兄弟姐妹) exam results by helping them to raise their game. For the first time ever, researchers from the University of Essex examined how the success of first born children in school affected their younger brothers and sisters by studying primary school test results. And the data showed that having an older brother or sister improved a child’s learning with the equal effect of spending an extra ￡670 on the younger sibling's schooling. One of the study’s authors Birgitta Rabe explained, the older sibling’s achievement may have a direct effect on the younger sibling’s school grades if the older sibling teaches the younger sibling or helps with homework; the younger sibling imitates(模仿) the older sibling, for example in their work style, or tries to be different, for example to avoid competition; the older sibling passes on important information about educational choices or school and teachers to the younger sibling. The effect is even more noticeable in less well-off families showing poorer children benefit more from a successful older sibling. “We find that the effect is larger for siblings in families relying on free school meals, living in poverty and speaking a language other than English at home. This means that children who live in poverty benefit more from a successful older sibling than children who live in well-off families.” 29. The study is mainly based on the children’s ________. A. exam results                    B. work style C. family background                D. educational choices 30. According to the study, ________ tend to benefit more from a successful older sibling. A. the children who live in rich families B. the children who live in poor families C. the children whose parents are successful D. the children whose mother language is English 31. What can we conclude from the study? A. Younger siblings are more successful than first borns. B. First-born children are as successful as their younger siblings. C. First-born children are more successful than their younger siblings. D. The success of first borns has positive effects on their younger siblings. 32. The passage is likely to appear in ________. A. a newspaper advertisement         B. a high school textbook C. a science magazine                 D. a news report 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。 Be Your Own Best Friend Why would you want to become your own best friend? There are a number of benefits of creating your own support system from within rather than relying on your partner, friends or family to be there for you when you’re suffering. We all have it in us to give ourselves what we need, without seeking it from outside.    33    Here’s how to become your own best friend. 1.Be nice to yourself The first step in becoming a friend to yourself is to treat yourself like you would treat a friend.    34    Start by accepting your good qualities, talents and abilities and begin to appreciate yourself. 2. Imagine how you would support a friend in the same situation Think about a loved one, a friend, a family member, or someone dear to you and imagine that they are in the same situation you are facing.  35  Then consider how to best offer help and advice to them. Allow yourself to feel supported, and give yourself what you need. Write down the words that you would say to your greatest friend and then say them gently to yourself. 3.  36  Following the theme of considering how you would help a dear friend, you need to start taking your own advice and putting your own needs first. Do you need a day off from work?  37    Whatever it is that you need, allow yourself to put it at the top of the list rather than the bottom. Use these methods to become your own best friend and start being there for yourself! A. Honor your needs B. Believe in yourself. C. A long hot bath? D. Help them first and then they will help you. E. That means that you need to stop being doubtful of yourself. F. Think about how they’re struggling, suffering with this problem. G.

Sitting beside me was a  38  gray-haired woman. I thought she might be a  39  English teacher because she impressed(给…留下印象)me as a person with knowledge and confidence. And as I  40  my library book to read, I could feel her eyes carefully looking in my direction(方向). My thoughts kept moving from the beautiful  woman to thoughts of  41  . My classmates had been  42  presents to buy for each other upon graduation. It had never  43  me that kids bought presents for graduation. I had no money. And I couldn’t ask my parents: they had no money either. My mind was still in thought when  44  I heard some noise at the entrance doors. There was an elderly woman in a wheelchair and another older woman trying to  45  her along. People coming into the lobby were too busy to help them,  46  them to struggle alone. I jumped to help them. I eased them both sets of doors and rode with them on the  47  . Then I made sure they found the right office. They thanked me. I told them it was my  48  . I was on my way down in the elevator  49  I realized that I had left my backpack on the lobby chair. My backpack had  50  of value in it. But then I remembered that my library book was also on the chair. Luckily they were both safely on the chair, just as I had left them. As I sat down, I could feel the beautiful gray-haired woman’s  51  eyes on me. She seemed proud for some  52　. Then her taxi arrived, and, without a word, she was  53　. I opened my backpack. To my surprise,  54  inside my backpack was a fifty-dollar bill!
