When you are happy, especially when you laugh hard, tears will also come down from your eyes. But tears have a more important job than showing your feelings. Tears keep your eyes clean and healthy. They wash away dirt and germs(细菌) just like bath. Your eyes also need tears to keep them wet. And eyes must be wet so that they can move smoothly. Your eyes are busy looking here and there all day long. They move quickly from one thing to another. If you didn’t have tears, your eyes couldn’t move, and soon you would be blind. Maybe you don’t like tears, but your eyes can’t do without them. ( )46. The story tells us ____.

The sentence “your eyes can’t do without them” means ____. A. your eyes like having baths very much     B. your eyes like tears very much C. your eyes can’t work without tears           D. your eyes can’t open without them B Tuesday, 1st September I had mixed feelings today, nervous, worried, happy, excited… My heart went down when Miss Chan, our head teacher, said that Matthew and Beth, two students from England, would spend three months with us! I was worried that I had to speak English so much! But at the end of the school day, I was happier than I thought: the morning with them today was more enjoyable than I expected. Today is the most unforgettable first day I have had! Matthew is fantastic! His English is clearer and easier to listen to than I thought. The other English student, Beth, is the most helpful girl I’ve ever met. There were lots of things to do on the first day. Beth offered to help Miss Chan put up all the notices. Of course, some of the credit (功劳) should also go to ME because I translated some of the notices for her. Miss Chan praised us! We finished all the preparations 10 minutes earlier than expected, then Beth and I talked for a while, Matthew sang several English songs and did some stand-up comedy (单人喜剧表演) at the party. We all praised him. When the bell rang to end the first school day, none of us wanted to leave. When I went back home, I had a little headache. I have probably spoken more English today than the whole of last year. It was really a happy day! I hope our friendship can continue, even after they gone back to England! ( )51. The writer felt ______ when he heard the news from Miss Chan. A. excited B. angry C. fantastic D. worried ( )52. Beth helped Miss Chan with the ______. A.

Matthew and Beth ______ on the first day. A. spoke much Chinese B. got lots of praise C. had a little headache D. forgot to leave the school ( )55. From the passage, we know that the writer ______. A. caught a bad cold that day B. went back home with Beth C. expects to travel to England D. likes the two English students C Did you dream about sending a letter to yourself or your friends in the future? While express mail(快递) is a fast way to send your letters, there is another type of mail appearing in China as a new business—future mail. "The letter should be sent next Mother's Day and not a day earlier!" Lin Xiaofan, a college student in Shanghai, tells one of the companies providing the service. Lin Xiaofan wrote the letter to her mother almost a year earlier to show her love to her mother for next Mother's Day. "Providing this service makes people slow down and lets them understand the meaning of 'time' in another way," said Zheng Zhimin, manager of a "future mail" company. Zheng thinks "future mail" letters help remind (提醒) us of care, friendship and love. While "future mail" is becoming more and more popular, some people are wondering what will happen if the address changes or if the company goes broke before the letters arrive. Zheng said customers are glad to sign a contract(合同) to make sure that they can be compensated if their letters are lost or damaged. Most of the customers are college students and young white-collar(白领) workers. Scientists said that young Chinese might have a new way to show their feelings through this service. Most people put their hopes and wishes in the letter so that they can experience the connection (联系) between the past and the present when they receive the letter. ( ) 56.How does the writer begin the topic? A. By giving examples. B. By asking questions. C. By listing numbers. D. By sharing facts. ( ) 57.The "future mail" service is popular among . A. college students B. junior students C. young children D. blue-collar workers ( ) 58.Which of the following is NOT true? A . People can express their thoughts and feelings to themselves or others through a "future mail". B. Some people think the "future mail" business is not perfect. C. Only young people accept the new "future mail" service. D. "Future mail" service can let people understand the meaning of "time". ( ) 59. What does the underlined word "compensated" in Paragraph 4 mean in Chinese? A.赔偿 B.完成 C.送达 D.抛弃 ( ) 60.Who may use "future mail"? A. Sam, who wants to save money from sending express mail. B. Danny, who needs to send a birthday gift to his friend quickly. C. Sally, who hopes to talk with her friends about her life freely. D. Beth, who plans to send her best wishes to herself on January 1, 2025. D Just like a movie，a dream has a story to tell and it has something to do with your life. So, take a closer look at your dreams, and they can open doors into your world. Martha,35 years old, said that last night she had an unusual dream. She dreamed that she was flying. When she moved her arms up and down, she moved higher into the sky. She felt as free as a bird. Flying is a good symbol in a dream. Flying in dreams may mean success(成功), and “being on top of it all”. Jason, a 14-year-old boy, said that he had a bad dream that kept coming back. He walked out of his bedroom, and a monster (怪物) came out and ran after him. Monsters in dreams often show fears. For Jason, the monsters may stand for the adults who control his life. Or it may mean Jason's fears about growing up and he is very sad. Here are some other common symbols in dreams. Mountains are difficulties, so to dream of successfully climbing a mountain can show a true feeling of success. Water is peaceful in life. But a big wave(波浪) in dreams means an emotional worry. Food is a symbol of knowledge, because it nourishes (滋养) the body just as information nourishes the brain. However, it could just be food. Dreaming is a way to make a memory (记忆) of your emotions. You may dream the same things again and again. They are like a bridge which connects your experience with your emotions and memories. They will help you get a better understanding of yourself. ( )61. What may Martha's dream tell her? A. She may want to be a bird. B. She may like flying a lot. C. She may be very successful. D. She may be a top student when she was young. ( )62. ________ might happen to Jason before he slept according to his dream. A. Being asked to take after-school classes B. Reading a book about making soup C. Feeling very confident about his schoolwork D. Playing computer games with his friends ( )63. According to the passage,Picture ________ is a symbol of knowledge. A. B. C. D. ( ) 64. The structure(结构) of the passage is ________. (①=Paragraph 1) A.①/②③④/⑤ B.①②③/④/⑤ C.①/②③/④⑤ D.①②/③④/⑤ ( ) 65. What's the purpose of the passage? A. To show us how important dreams are. B. To tell us the way to make good use of dreams. C. To tell us the meaning and advantage of dreams. D. To ask us to pay less attention to our dreams. 第二节 阅读下面短文，从短文后所给的五个选项中选出能填入短文空白处的最佳选项，使短文通顺、连贯，意思完整。（共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E If you find yourself feeling a little less cheerful than you were when days are going from summer to autumn, it's not your imagination(幻觉). 66  “It's real,” said Kathryn Roecklein. “The changes don't always affect everyone in the same way. But seasonal mood changes often include less energy, feeling less social (社交的), losing interest in favorite activities and changes in sleep. 67 ” There are a lot of reasons why our moods change with the season, but a big factor (因素) is light. “The hours of day, which are shortest in winter and longest in summer, are the main reason,” Roecklein said. 68 So it's not surprising if you feel those mood changes around the same time. We should remember that “winter blues” is not something we can't get over. 69 First, get yourself bathed in the sun. A walk outside in the sun in the morning will surely make you feel better. Second, eat healthily. 70 Besides, make time for your friends. A good chat with your best friends makes your day. A. Here are a few things you can do. B. Try more fruit, vegetables and drink lots of water. C. Sunsets are getting earlier and earlier when autumn begins. D. You may have trouble sleeping or want to sleep more than usual. E. There is a science backed reason why you feel unhappy easily in the cooler months.
