I owe (亏欠) my father a huge thank-you! Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on. But this year I realized that his contributions (贡献) to my childhood were much more than that.
I grew up as Daddy's Little Girl. If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed answering, he was the one I ran to. He helped me get through everything from math homework as a student to career (职业) choices as a young adult . He always expected that I do my best in whatever I did, and he believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to. As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same standards (标准). He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself. It was something I'd taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of their self-worth. Having fathers that didn't believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.
As I was growing up, my father also showed to me how a woman should be lavished. He got along with my mom with love and respect. As a result, t Dad was a living picture of godliness (虔诚), honesty and responsibility. It was only recently that I realized what a deep influence fathers have on their daughters' lives. That is why I want to thank my dad for the example of love that he has been to me throughout my life.
34.From the second paragraph, the writer thinks it is the most valuable that ____.
A.her father was very strict with her
B.her father helped her a lot in every way
C.nothing was difficult if her father was on her side
D.father's trust deeply influenced her self-confidence
35.The underlined word "lavished" in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A.loved B.calmed C.treated D.talked
36.Who would the writer turn to when in trouble?
A.Her father. B.Her mother. C.Her husband. D.Her friends.
37.The feeling the writer wants to express to her father in this text is ____.
A.sad B.proud C.embarrassed D.grateful
C
Can knots be a form of art? It is in China. It is used for decoration (装饰) on clothing or to hang on a wall. Skilled knot artists make knots that you might see sold in stores that you can take back with you.
What Is a Chinese Knot?
A Chinese knot is a knot that is tied and woven (编织) from a single length of rope (绳子) to be different shapes. Most knots have two cords (粗线) entering the knot from the top and two leaving from the bottom. Each kind of knot is named after its shape or the symbolic meaning that it carries.
Knot artists can use different colors, but they prefer deep red ones. The color red means good luck in China.

Ancient and Modern Use of Artistic Knots
Even today, Chinese knots are rich in symbolic meaning, and they hold value when given as gifts or passed down through families. For example, in ancient times and even now, lovers may give a knot as a symbol of their love. The "true love knot" and the "double happiness knot" are given or used at weddings to express love and growing old together.

Delia was a young pianist with a kind, generous nature. Her husband Joe was a young painter who is honest and hardworking. They lived in a small flat after they got married.
Each of them was taking lessons—Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but... when you love your art, nothing is too much.
And soon the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more. Then one day Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano and he was going to pay her 50 dollars an hour.
“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you go on with your lessons.” Delia said that it didn’t matter. She said, “When I’ve earned some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing is too much.” But Joe decided that he was also going to stop his lessons and paint pictures and try to sell them.
A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took 200 dollars from his pocket. Delia laughed and asked him where he’d got it from. “A man from Vermont bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!” So the two of them were happy for a while. They didn’t have to worry anymore about finding the money to buy food and pay the bills. They missed their lessons, but that didn’t seem to matter.
Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was covered in a bandage(绷带). He asked her what had happened and if she was all right. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally asked me to make some coffee for her. So I did and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand. But she went straight to the medicine shop and got this bandage for me.”
Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he asked. She tried not to tell him, but then the tears began. “Oh Joe, I couldn’t get students so I got a job as a waitress in a restaurant. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can't work any more. I’m sorry, Joe, but we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”
Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been working in a medicine shop, and today someone came from the restaurant to buy bandages for a woman who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you—well, I guessed.”
They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art, ...” Delia stopped him. “No, Joe,” she said. “When you love someone, nothing is too much.”
42.Who does the underlined word “They” mean in the passage?
A.The young couple Joe and Delia. B.The rich man and his daughter Sally.
C.The art teacher and the German pianist. D.The man in Vermont and the waitress.
43.How did Joe feel when he heard Delia’s decision in Paragraph 4?
A.Worried. B.Excited. C.Interested. D.Happy.
44.Which is the correct order of the following?
a. Joe took painting lessons and Delia took piano lessons.
b. They decided to stop their lessons and earn some money.
c. Their money ran out so that they couldn’t afford the lessons.
d. Delia and Joe told the truth to each other and laughed happily.
e. Delia and Joe got married and lived in a small flat in New York.
A.e-a-c-b-d B.a-e-c-b-d C.a-e-d-b-c D.e-d-a-c-b
45.Why did Joe and Delia both laughed after finding out the truth?
A.They would go on with their lessons. B.They thought they did something interesting.
C.They didn’t have to worry about money. D.They told lies to care much about each other.

a song over and over. It sounds very 16. , which quickly caught our attention.
"The tune (曲调) is pretty pleasant," said Mareya happily. "Do you remember the 17. ?"
"Let me see..."Then Jasmine started singing this song ending with "Mar-eye-aaa, Mar-eye-aaa. They
called the 18. Mar-eye-aaa."
"That's so great!" said Ollie. "Mareya, how come you never told us you were the wind?"
"Hey, Mar-eye-a!" I 19. , "Can you use your power to blow that soccer ball over here to me?"
"No!" said Jasmine. "Please use your strong power to 20. the ball in my direction!"
Then Ollie started singing quite loudly. "Mar-eye-aaa, Mar-eye-aaa. They called the wind
Mar-eye-aaa."
His voice was so 21. that we couldn't help laughing like crazy. 22. , we paid no
attention to Mareya.
A couple days later, when Ollie and I went to the park for a 23. , Mareya and Jasmine
happened to be there, too.
"Hey there, friends!" Jasmine called to 24. .

Jasmine and I laughed and began to sing along.

Surprised, Ollie, Jasmine and I stopped.
"I couldn't 26. why I felt so angry the other day," Mareya said. " 27. when it happened
again just now, I got it. I can't stand it!"
Only then did we realize that we 28. her without meaning to. "We're really 29. ! Could

I owe (亏欠) my father a huge thank-you! Sure, I need to thank him for all those years of paying my
bills, fixing my bikes, and providing a shoulder to cry on. But this year I realized that his contributions (贡献)
to my childhood were much more than that.
I grew up as Daddy's Little Girl. If I had a problem that needed fixing or a question that needed
answering, he was the one I ran to. He helped me get through everything from math homework as a student
to career (职业) choices as a young adult . He always expected that I do my best in whatever I did, and he
believed I could succeed in anything I put my mind to. As a result, I learned to hold myself to those same
standards (标准). He always showed me unconditional love, which helped me learn to love myself. It was
something I'd taken for granted until I realized from talking with my friends that they had no similar view of
their self-worth. Having fathers that didn't believe in them left them to grow up not believing in themselves.
As I was growing up, my father also showed to me how a woman should be lavished. He got along with
my mom with love and respect. As a result, t Dad was a living picture of godliness (虔诚), honesty and
responsibility. It was only recently that I realized what a deep influence fathers have on their daughters' lives.
That is why I want to thank my dad for the example of love that he has been to me throughout my life.
34.From the second paragraph, the writer thinks it is the most valuable that ____.
A.her father was very strict with her
B.her father helped her a lot in every way
C.nothing was difficult if her father was on her side
D.father's trust deeply influenced her self-confidence
35.The underlined word "lavished" in Paragraph 3 means ____.
A.loved B.calmed C.treated D.talked
36.Who would the writer turn to when in trouble?
A.Her father. B.Her mother. C.Her husband. D.Her friends.
37.The feeling the writer wants to express to her father in this text is ____.
A.sad B.proud C.embarrassed D.grateful

Can knots be a form of art? It is in China. It is used for decoration (装饰) on clothing or to hang on a
wall. Skilled knot artists make knots that you might see sold in stores that you can take back with you.
What Is a Chinese Knot?
A Chinese knot is a knot that is tied and woven (编织) from a single length of rope (绳子) to be
different shapes. Most knots have two cords (粗线) entering the knot from the top and two leaving from the

Delia was a young pianist with a kind, generous nature. Her husband Joe was a young painter who is
honest and hardworking. They lived in a small flat after they got married.
Each of them was taking lessons—Joe with a famous art teacher, and Delia with a great pianist from
Germany. They were the best teachers, so lessons were expensive, more than they could really afford, but...
when you love your art, nothing is too much.
And soon the money began to run out and they couldn’t afford the lessons any more. Then one day
Delia came home and told Joe that she had met a man. The man’s daughter, Sally, wanted to learn the piano
and he was going to pay her 50 dollars an hour.
“Delia,” Joe said, “I’d be much happier if you go on with your lessons.” Delia said that it didn’t matter.
She said, “When I’ve earned some money, I’ll start again. When you love your art, nothing is too much.” But
Joe decided that he was also going to stop his lessons and paint pictures and try to sell them.
A few days later, Joe came home and proudly took 200 dollars from his pocket. Delia laughed and asked
him where he’d got it from. “A man from Vermont bought one of my paintings. And he wants to buy more!”
So the two of them were happy for a while. They didn’t have to worry anymore about finding the money to
buy food and pay the bills. They missed their lessons, but that didn’t seem to matter.
Then, one day, Joe came home and saw that Delia’s hand was covered in a bandage(绷带). He asked her
regret, take up, crazy, test, bright
what had happened and if she was all right. “Oh,” said Delia. “My student, Sally asked me to make some
coffee for her. So I did and I dropped the coffee and burned my hand. But she went straight to the medicine
shop and got this bandage for me.”
Joe sat down and told Delia to sit down too. “Delia, what have you been doing the last two weeks?” he
asked. She tried not to tell him, but then the tears began. “Oh Joe, I couldn’t get students so I got a job as a
waitress in a restaurant. And today I burned my hand with hot water. So I can't work any more. I’m sorry,
Joe, but we'll still have money from the man in Vermont, won’t we?”
Joe looked at her. “There’s no man in Vermont,” he said. “I haven’t sold any paintings. I’ve been
working in a medicine shop, and today someone came from the restaurant to buy bandages for a woman
who’d burned her hand. So when I saw you—well, I guessed.”
They both laughed. “So we’ve told each other lies,” said Joe. “But when you love your art, ...” Delia
stopped him. “No, Joe,” she said. “When you love someone, nothing is too much.”
42.Who does the underlined word “They” mean in the passage?
A.The young couple Joe and Delia. B.The rich man and his daughter Sally.
C.The art teacher and the German pianist. D.The man in Vermont and the waitress.
43.How did Joe feel when he heard Delia’s decision in Paragraph 4?
A.Worried. B.Excited. C.Interested. D.Happy.
44.Which is the correct order of the following?
a. Joe took painting lessons and Delia took piano lessons.
b. They decided to stop their lessons and earn some money.
c. Their money ran out so that they couldn’t afford the lessons.
d. Delia and Joe told the truth to each other and laughed happily.
e. Delia and Joe got married and lived in a small flat in New York.
A.e-a-c-b-d B.a-e-c-b-d C.a-e-d-b-c D.e-d-a-c-b
45.Why did Joe and Delia both laughed after finding out the truth?
A.They would go on with their lessons. B.They thought they did something interesting.
C.They didn’t have to worry about money. D.They told lies to care much about each other.
