It was nearly dark. The sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
“What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance,” his mother said. “But standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road,” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees and the sound was very sweet,” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture,” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said. “Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”
It is true that not every goal (目标) will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way.

阅读下面短文,简略回答问题。
Many social media posts (社交媒体贴子) may let you believe that everyone is happy all the time, but being happy all the time is not possible.
As a teenager, you probably hope to get good grades in an exam or to win the most important basketball game, but it doesn’t often happen. Good results make you happy and bad results make you sad. But sadness can drive you to improve yourself next time.
However, when people get into sadness for a long time and it starts to affect (影响) their lives, it’s called depression (抑郁). You don’t want to get out of bed. You don’t feel like studying or going out with your friends. I remember the same feeling when my dog Rebel died in an accident. I remember that he followed me to school. Now he was gone, and I lost all interests to do anything. My parents told me dogs don’t live forever. What was more, Rebel had a good life. If I had a good life, Rebel must be happy, too.
Depression is not a person’s mistake. It’s normal to feel sad sometimes. Many great people like the comedy actor Jim Carrey, once got depressed. But you should know what to do to stop depression or make yourself less depressed.
When you feel down, you must not keep yourself away from the world. Try to share your feelings with a family member or a good friend. Staying at home by yourself will make you more lonely. You should stand up, open the window, and throw away the sadness.
41. What can sadness drive teenager to do?
___________________________________
42. What happened to the writer after his dog died?
___________________________________
43. What does Jim Carrey’s example tell us?
___________________________________
44. What shouldn’t people do when they feel down?
___________________________________
45. 开放性设问What do you think depressed teenagers should do?
___________________________________
【答案】41. Sadness can drive teenagers to improve themselves next time.
42. He lost all interests to do anything.
43. Depression is not a person’s mistake and it’s normal to feel sad sometimes.
44. They shouldn’t keep themselves away from the world.
45. They should share feelings with trusted ones and seek professional help if needed.
【解析】
【导语】本文讨论了社交媒体可能营造的虚假快乐假象,指出持续快乐不现实。青少年经历考试失利等挫折时,悲伤能促使自我提升,但长期抑郁会影响生活。作者以爱犬去世后的抑郁经历为例,说明抑郁并非个人过错,并建议通过倾诉、社交等方式缓解,最后强调及时应对抑郁的重要性。
【41题详解】
根据第二段“Good results make you happy and bad results make you sad. But sadness can drive you to improve yourself next time.”可知,悲伤可以驱使青少年下次去提升自己。故填Sadness can drive teenagers to improve themselves next time.
【42题详解】
根据第三段“I remember that he followed me to school. Now he was gone, and I lost all interests to do anything.”可知,在作者的宠物狗死后,他失去了做任何事情的兴趣。故填He lost all interests to do anything.
【43题详解】
根据第四段“Depression is not a person’s mistake. It’s normal to feel sad sometimes. Many great people, like the comedy actor Jim Carrey, once got depressed.”可知,吉姆・凯瑞的例子告诉我们抑郁不是一个人的错,有时感到悲伤是正常的。故填Depression is not a person’s mistake and it’s normal to feel sad sometimes.
【44题详解】
根据最后一段“When you feel down, you must not keep yourself away from the world.”可知,当人们情绪低落时,不应该把自己与世界隔离开来。故填They shouldn’t keep themselves away from the world.
【45题详解】
根据文中内容,答案不唯一,回答合理即可。故填They should share feelings with trusted ones and seek professional help if needed.

【65题详解】
句意:40多年来,冰雪节一直为游客提供欢乐和乐趣。根据“For more than 40 years”可知,时态为现在完成时,结构为“have/has + 过去分词”,主语“Ice and Snow Festival”为单数,故填has provided。
第二节 用所给单词的适当形式填空(共10分)

A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him, and he said, “Excuse me too, I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, “You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue.”
When I heard this, I thought deeply: While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient. I felt sad and tears began to fall.
I quietly went to Betty’s bed. “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “I found them by the tree. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.” I said, “I am so sorry that I treated you that way today.” And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s okay—I still love you anyway.” I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.”
That day, Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn’t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.

It was nearly dark. The sun was dropping down the mountains far away. Little Tom came back home, with tears in his eyes.
“What’s the matter, Tom? How’s your trip?” his mother asked with a big smile. “I failed. The mountain is so high and full of big or small stones on the way. I still went ahead. But I was tired and it was so late that I had to come back.” Tom cried. “It doesn’t matter. You are only 14 years old after all. You will have another chance,” his mother said. “But standing at the top of the mountain is my dream!” Tom said. His father came over and asked, “Did you see the green trees on your way to the mountain?” “Sure, and there are a lot of beautiful flowers by the side of the road,” Tom replied. “Did you hear the birds singing?” his father asked. “There were many kinds of birds singing in the trees and the sound was very sweet,” Tom said. “Did you feel the beauty of nature?” his father asked. “Yes, the blue sky, the white clouds, the green trees and the colorful flowers made a nice picture,” Tom answered. “That’s enough!” his father smiled and said. “Please remember, son. For often, achieving what you expect is not the most important thing. Although you didn’t reach the top of the mountain, you got a lot on the way.”
It is true that not every goal (目标) will be achieved, not every job will end up with a success, and not every dream will come true. The most beautiful scenery (风景) is on the way.
根据短文内容判断正、误。(正确的写 A,错误的写 B)
26. Before it was dark, Tom returned home with happiness.
27. Tom didn’t reach the top of the mountain because he was tired and it was so late.

Are you sorry for not travelling during the National Day? If you stay at home at that time, I think you are very lucky. Why? Because there are too many people everywhere. In many places of interest in China, it’s too crowded to do anything.
It was too crowded in the West Lake on October 1st, 2013. You even couldn’t take photos for you or your friends. All what we could see were people. It was reported that there were about 13 people per meter by the lake. My friends told me they could see nothing but many tourists on the Broken Bridge. “We couldn’t walk if the people in front of us didn’t walk,” he said. He showed us a photo near the West Lake. In the photo, we hardly found him out, there were too many people.
So some people give the advice that we should not have the gold week (黄金周) any more. But other people say no about this advice. What’s your idea of it? Are you sorry now for not traveling during the gold week? I love staying at home more than traveling next National Day.

Many social media posts (社交媒体贴子) may let you believe that everyone is happy all the time, but being happy all the time is not possible.
As a teenager, you probably hope to get good grades in an exam or to win the most important basketball game, but it doesn’t often happen. Good results make you happy and bad results make you sad. But sadness can drive you to improve yourself next time.
However, when people get into sadness for a long time and it starts to affect (影响) their lives, it’s called depression (抑郁). You don’t want to get out of bed. You don’t feel like studying or going out with your friends. I remember the same feeling when my dog Rebel died in an accident. I remember that he followed me to school. Now he was gone, and I lost all interests to do anything. My parents told me dogs don’t live forever. What was more, Rebel had a good life. If I had a good life, Rebel must be happy, too.
Depression is not a person’s mistake. It’s normal to feel sad sometimes. Many great people, like the comedy actor Jim Carrey, once got depressed. But you should know what to do to stop depression or make yourself less depressed.
When you feel down, you must not keep yourself away from the world. Try to share your feelings with a family member or a good friend. Staying at home by yourself will make you more lonely. You should stand up, open the window, and throw away the sadness.
41. What can sadness drive teenager to do?

42. What happened to the writer after his dog died?

A few days ago, I ran into a stranger as he passed by. I said sorry to him, and he said, “Excuse me too, I wasn’t even watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. Then we went on our way after saying goodbye.
Later in the kitchen at home, as I cooked our meal, my daughter Betty walked up to me, very quietly. When I turned around, I nearly knocked her down. “Get out of the way!” I shouted angrily. She ran away, crying.
That night, when I lay in bed, my husband said to me, “You were so rude to Betty. Go and look around on the kitchen floor, and you’ll find some flowers there. Betty brought those for you. She picked them herself—pink, yellow, and your favorite blue.”
When I heard this, I thought deeply: While meeting with a stranger, I was calm and polite; but with my daughter, I was not patient. I felt sad and tears began to fall.
I quietly went to Betty’s bed. “Wake up, my dear,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” She smiled, “I found them by the tree. I knew you’d like them, especially the blue.” I said, “I am so sorry that I treated you that way today.” And she whispered, “Mommy, that’s okay—I still love you anyway.” I kissed her and said, “I love you too and I do love the flowers.”
That day, Betty gave me a lesson on how to get along with each other in the family. I spent much time on work before and didn’t realize how important family life was. I decided to do better in the future.
