Just then, a man walked by and looked at me. “Little one, are you lost?” he asked. I just wagged my tail, not able to answer. Then he took me to his nice and comfortable home. At his house, his wife asked, “John, where did this dog come from?” the man replied, “I found him in the park nearby. He seemed to need a place to stay.” John’s wife prepared a soft mat for me that night. I was really happy lying there. Every morning, I would walk with John to the park. I barked, “John, I’ll be right here waiting for you.” He smiled and said, “Good boy, Eric.” Everything was fine until a terrible felling struck me on a freezing cold morning. I barked more loudly than ever, trying to make John stay. I said, “John, don’t go today.” But he didn’t get it and left as usual. That day, John didn’t return. I waited and waited. People tried to take me away, saying, “Eric, your master is gone. Come with us.” I refused, “No, I have to wait for him.” I couldn’t believe he wouldn’t come back. Days passed, weeks passed, and years went by. I got old. My once shiny fur became dull and matted, and my steps were slow and unsteady. I had seen countless seasons change in the park, from the blooming flowers of spring to the snow-covered ground in winter. One spring day, as I was lying in the grass at the park where I always waited, a familiar figure showed up. I managed to lift my head. It was a man who looked a lot like John. He walked towards me, with his eyes full of love. He knelt down (蹲下) beside me and said, “Eric, it’s been such a long time. I’m sorry I left you. I had an accident and lost my memory. It took me years to recover and find my way back to you.” I was so surprised. I weakly wagged my tail and let out a little sound. He gently picked me up and held me close. As we left the park, I could feel my strength went away little by little with each step. My eyesight was getting poor, but I held tightly to the warm hug of John’s arms. I knew these were my last moments, yet I had no regrets. All the years of waiting had led to this reunion that was both happy and sad. 26. What was John’s wife’s attitude towards Eric? A. She was not sure of getting on well with Eric. B. She was curious about Eric’s hobby. C. She accepted and was kind to Eric. D. She hated and was jealous of Eric. 27. What can we probably know about the man who looked like John in the end? A. He was John exactly who finally remembered the dog and came back. B. He was not John but a kind person who felt pity for the old dog. C. He was a friend of John’s that came to take the dog away. D. He was a stranger with the same appearance as John. 28. Which of the following best describes Eric? A. Brave and strong-willed. B. Helpful and cheerful. C. Kind and humorous. D. Loving and patient. 29. What can we infer from the last paragraph? A. Eric thought it was worth waiting for John. B. Eric considered the reunion joyful simply. C. Eric was dying with nothing but regrets. D. Eric was too weak to hold John’s arms. （B） Students who achieve good grades in school can be provided with the opportunity to skip a grade (跳级). This enables them to take on more difficult academic (学业的) tasks together with older students. However, this choice also leads to a variety of challenges. What are your thoughts on it? Feel free to leave your comments below. Paul Students could be given the permission to skip grades, though it doesn’t mean that all of them should take this step. Students who achieve high grades might get more out of a higher level of study. At the same time, they might run the risk of being bullied due to their age. If there are kids who are really eager to skip a grade, they can give it a try. My grandfather, for example, started college at 16. Thanks to that, he managed to become a doctor by the age of 24. Skipping a grade truly has its advantages and disadvantages. Disha Students deserve to grow and develop at a natural pace, rather than being pushed through valuable life experiences too quickly. The sense of such pressure can have a harmful influence on student’s self-confidence. Social awareness and competence are as important as academic performance, since they play a vital role in helping us to discover and understand our true selves. Jerry If a student skips a grade, he/she may not only face challenges on learning, but also have a hard time finding friends. For instance, my sister skipped a grade but had trouble fitting in with older students. Instead, ________. My old school did this. I could make friends of my age and achieve my learning goals. This is a win-win situation. Li Wei Skipping a grade means taking more advanced and difficult classes and trying to build friendships with older students. There’s also a possibility of having to attend a different school. If grown-ups consider a student to be intelligent enough to skip a grade, in my view, the student should be given the freedom to make the decision on their own. They should carefully weigh the pros and cons and then decide if it’s something they want to do. 30. Which of the following students DO NOT support skipping a grade? A. Li Wei and Disha. B. Jerry and Li Wei. C Disha and Jerry. D. Paul and Jerry. 31. Which of the following sentences can be put in the place of ________? A. students should improve their academic levels and make more friends B. students should pay more attention to studies but less to social life C. schools should put students into different groups by age D. schools should encourage students to skip grades 32. Where is the passage most probably from? A. A teenager web page. B. An education report. C. A fashion magazine. D. A fiction book. （C） According to the Global Times, two online videos showing children telling their parents “I love you” have spread widely in China. The first, filmed by an Anhui TV station, shows a number of college students telling their parents they love them. The responses are mixed. “Are you drunk?” asked one parent. In another video, shot by a Shanxi TV station, a 14-year-old teenager said “I love you” to his father, but received an even less patient response—“I’m heading for an important meeting, so cut the crap.” Then the father quickly turned his back and rushed out without saying another word. Why do Chinese seldom say “I love you” to families? Confucian teaching (儒家教义) takes the most responsibility. “The parents’ responses show that many Chinese are not good at expressing positive emotions,” Xia Xueluan, a sociologist from Peking University, told the Global Times. “They are used to educating children with negative language, just like their parents taught them in the past.” This isn’t the first time that China has done some soul-searching (深思) about family love—last year China Daily asked a number of people if they had said “I love you” to their parents or children. “I have never said ‘I love you’ to my family, and I don’t think I will in the future,” one 56-year-old man told the paper. “Saying it aloud is embarrassing for me.” Still, that doesn’t mean love can’t be expressed. In a separate article, China Daily spoke to Zhao Mengmeng, a 31-year-old woman who said she had never told her father she loved him face-to-face (“I find it a bit odd”). Sometimes actions speak louder than words. Zhao gave her father a photo album featuring photographs of them together on almost every birthday in June 2012. The pictures went viral (走红) online, being forwarded thousands of times on Weibo. “I didn’t sleep the night I heard about it,” her father told China Daily after the story attracted mainstream attention. “I have now memorized some of the comments on the collection of pictures.” 33. What does “cut the crap” mean in the first paragraph? A Stop talking right now. B. Talk at a slower speed. C. Repeat the sentence. D. Change the topic. 34 Why do Chinese parents hardly express “I love you” to their children? A. Because they are told to express negative language as teenagers. B. Because they are greatly influenced by Confucian teaching. C. Because they have no idea how to show positive emotions. D. Because they think it embarrassing and unnecessary. 35. Why does the writer tell the story of Zhao Mengmeng in paragraph 4? A. To support the view that love can be presented in another way. B. To give an example of how to become famous on the Internet. C. To explain the saying “actions speak louder than words”. D. To provide background information of Zhao’s family. 36. How does the writer mainly develop the passage? A. By making comparisons. B. By giving examples. C. By listing numbers. D. By reasoning. （D） Recently, food preservation (食品保鲜) has become a hot topic, and an American company has successfully made a remarkable breakthrough. They have developed an innovative new technique (技术) that has the potential to change the way we store bread. This cutting-edge technology can make bread stay fresh for an astonishing 60 days. Scientists, after extensive research, discovered that a particular kind of mould (霉菌) was the main factor causing bread to go bad quickly. The new technique targets and kills this mould, effectively keeping the food for a longer time. This means there will be less waste of food in the world in the future. Food waste is, in fact, an enormous problem in most developed countries. Take the US as an example, an average (普通的) family there throws away 40% of the food they buy, which adds up to $160 billion every year, about 330 million ton in weight. Similarly, in the UK, 32% of the bread bought ends up being thrown away while the bread is still perfectly edible. Typically, bread starts to go mouldy within around 10 days. However, the American company confidently claims that their novel technique can keep bread free from mould for a full two months. “We treated a piece of bread in a special machine. At 60 days it had the same amount of mould as it was first made,” elaborates Mr. Stull, the visionary leader of the company. Despite the fact that numerous bread makers have shown a keen interest in this new technique, it seems that it will not be an easy job to win over consumers. Few customers are fond of the idea as they firmly believe that a piece of bread that lasts for 60 days simply cannot taste good. “We’ll have to make our customers accept the idea. But it will take some time,” admits Mr. Stull, believing the challenges that lie ahead. 37. According to the first two paragraphs, the new technique can ________. A. prevent the world from wasting food B. make bread taste better than before C. stop the same amount of mould D. keep the mould from increasing 38. How much does an average family spend on food every year in the US? A. $330 billion. B. $400 billion. C. $160 billion. D. $64 billion. 39. What can we know from Mr. Stull? A. Food can stay fresh forever with the new technique. B. People prefer to buy bread which can last longer. C. Bread makers are in great need of customers. D. Few customers support the technique. 40. What is the main purpose of the passage? A. To suggest what people can do with a new technique. B. To introduce a technique to keep food for long. C. To encourage people to try long-lasting food. D. To share different ideas on killing mould. 第二节 阅读填空（共5小题，每小题1分，满分5分） 阅读下列短文及文后A-E选项，选出可以填入41-45各题空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 The 24 Solar Terms are part of the traditional Chinese calendar (日历).
