Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.
Be calm (冷静的). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished (惩罚), no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight.
Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker (攻击者) calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
▲ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.
54. The writer gives ________ ways to keep away from a fight in the passage.
A. one B. two C. three D. four
55. If someone wants to fight with you, you’d better ________.
A. run to home as fast as possible B. gather (召集) your friends to fight
C. call the police up for help D. try to make the attacker calm down

C. Advise students to help each other D. Get all students to work hard
(D)
People throw trash (垃圾) on the beach and even into the ocean. The trash has become the “home” of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). Believe it or not, it is happening all over the world. Scientists have seen hermit crabs using bottle tops, parts of old light bulbs (灯泡), and even broken glass bottles.
Unlike other crabs, hermit crabs are born with soft bodies, so they need to look for shells (壳) for protection. They first look at the shells’ type, size, and color. Then, they use their legs to check the inside of the shells to make sure they are the right size. As they grow, they give up their old shells and find bigger ones to live in.
However, “trash shells” can bring danger to hermit crabs. Different from natural shells, plastic waste (塑料垃圾) is often brighter in color. It might stand out against the background, so predators (捕食者) can find hermit crabs more easily. The crabs could also get stuck and die when they go into plastic bottles. When they get inside of old tires (轮胎), they may find it difficult to get out and starve to death (饿死).
Why choose a “trash shell”?
Hermit crabs find shells by a smell that other crabs leave when they die. Ocean plastic has a similar (相似的) smell.
There is too much trash in the ocean. More than 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year. In other words, we’re throwing a garbage truck of plastic into the ocean every minute.
New, man-made “shells” might be interesting to female (雌性的) hermit crabs.
Plastic trash is lighter than natural shells. The hermit crabs can go around easily in them.
59. According to Paragraph 1, what has become a problem?
A. People cannot leave trash on the beach. B. There are more hermit crabs than ever.
C. Hermit crabs are using trash as homes. D. Scientists have a problem finding hermit crabs.
60. Why do hermit crabs stay in shells?
A. Because they like the colors of the shells.
B. Because they need to look after the shells.
C. Because they can grow faster inside the shells.
D. Because their soft bodies need shells for protection.
61. How do hermit crabs check the size inside a shell?
A. They use their legs. B. They use their eyes to look.
C. They check the type of the shell. D. They put an old shell into the new shell.
62. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why hermit crabs like to use trash shells as homes.
B. Why trash shells are not safe homes for hermit crabs.
C. Why it is difficult for hermit crabs to find natural shells.
D. Which type of trash shell makes better homes for hermit crabs.
63. Why might the writer write this passage?
A. To tell interesting stories about hermit crabs.
B. To show the trash problem for hermit crabs.
C. To have people make new homes for hermit crabs.
D. To show the importance of having hermit crabs.
(D)
Life is always full of stress these days. How do you usually solve your stress? Do you know doing housework is helpful in solving stress? In fact, doing something like washing dirty clothes may really make people relaxed. “Doing some housework such as folding clothes or cleaning the room is a good way to face our stress without taking any medicine,” says Carol Clark, a successful psychologist (心理学家) in New York. She often advises people who are under lots of stress to try doing housework every day. “While washing something,” she says, “you can imagine you’re washing away some trouble in your life.”
Do people all agree with her idea? Here are some ideas about it.
“Housework is the main reason for the stress in my life, ” says Linda in France. “Get me out of doing the housework and then I’ll really be relaxed.”
Gary is a single (单身的) father. “So, a man pays a psychologist $200 an hour for his problem about stress. However, he is just told to go back home and do some housework. I really don’t know who is crazier, the psychologist or the man!”
64. What does Carol Clark advise people under stress to do?
A. To take some medicine. B. To call on a psychologist.
C. To be as tidy as possible. D. To do some housework.
65. Linda thinks that doing housework will make her ________.
A. relaxed B. stressed C. helpful D. healthy
66. What does the underlined word “it” refer to?
A. Taking medicine. B. Doing housework. C. Making money. D. Solving trouble.
67. Gary’s stress is probably from ________.
A. his work B. his wife C. the psychologist D. the housework
68. Which of the following could be the best title of the passage?
A. Work and Life B. The Reason for Stress
C Housework and Stress D. A Successful Psychologist

Fights at school sometimes happen. But how can you keep away from a fight? Here’s something you can do.
Be calm (冷静的). Sometimes, you feel so angry that you really want to teach somebody a lesson. But being angry can’t solve problems. Neither can a fight. Instead, it may bring you more problems. In school, everyone involved (卷入) in a fight will be punished (惩罚), no matter who started it. There are no winners in a fight.
Shout loudly. If you know someone is coming up behind you to attack, turn toward the person with your hands up in front of your body and loudly say “stop” before walking away. Loud voice can usually make the attacker (攻击者) calm down. If the person doesn’t stop, cry for help by calling out the name of a teacher whose office is nearby.
▲ Your friend may ask you to join in a fight. Learn to say no. Helping him fight is not really helpful to him. If you really want to give him a hand, try to ask him to give it up. Also, you can tell him if he gets involved in a fight, he may get hurt and be punished. Then, try to learn why he wants a fight and help him find a right way to deal with the problem.

People throw trash (垃圾) on the beach and even into the ocean. The trash has become the “home” of hermit crabs (寄居蟹). Believe it or not, it is happening all over the world. Scientists have seen hermit crabs using bottle tops, parts of old light bulbs (灯泡), and even broken glass bottles.
Unlike other crabs, hermit crabs are born with soft bodies, so they need to look for shells (壳) for protection. They first look at the shells’ type, size, and color. Then, they use their legs to check the inside of the shells to make sure they are the right size. As they grow, they give up their old shells and find bigger ones to live in.
However, “trash shells” can bring danger to hermit crabs. Different from natural shells, plastic waste (塑料垃圾) is often brighter in color. It might stand out against the background, so predators (捕食者) can find hermit crabs more easily. The crabs could also get stuck and die when they go into plastic bottles. When they get inside of old tires (轮胎), they may find it difficult to get out and starve to death (饿死).
Why choose a “trash shell”?
Hermit crabs find shells by a smell that other crabs leave when they die. Ocean plastic has a similar (相似的) smell.
There is too much trash in the ocean. More than 8 million tons of plastic enter the oceans each year. In other words, we’re throwing a garbage truck of plastic into the ocean every minute.
New, man-made “shells” might be interesting to female (雌性的) hermit crabs.
Plastic trash is lighter than natural shells. The hermit crabs can go around easily in them.
59. According to Paragraph 1, what has become a problem?
A. People cannot leave trash on the beach. B. There are more hermit crabs than ever.
C. Hermit crabs are using trash as homes. D. Scientists have a problem finding hermit crabs.
60. Why do hermit crabs stay in shells?
A. Because they like the colors of the shells.
B. Because they need to look after the shells.
C. Because they can grow faster inside the shells.
D. Because their soft bodies need shells for protection.
61. How do hermit crabs check the size inside a shell?
A. They use their legs. B. They use their eyes to look.
C. They check the type of the shell. D. They put an old shell into the new shell.
62. What is the last paragraph mainly about?
A. Why hermit crabs like to use trash shells as homes.
B. Why trash shells are not safe homes for hermit crabs.
C. Why it is difficult for hermit crabs to find natural shells.
D. Which type of trash shell makes better homes for hermit crabs.
63. Why might the writer write this passage?
A. To tell interesting stories about hermit crabs.
B. To show the trash problem for hermit crabs.
C. To have people make new homes for hermit crabs.
D. To show the importance of having hermit crabs.

Life is always full of stress these days. How do you usually solve your stress? Do you know doing housework is helpful in solving stress? In fact, doing something like washing dirty clothes may really make people relaxed. “Doing some housework such as folding clothes or cleaning the room is a good way to face our stress without taking any medicine,” says Carol Clark, a successful psychologist (心理学家) in New York. She often advises people who are under lots of stress to try doing housework every day. “While washing something,” she says, “you can imagine you’re washing away some trouble in your life.”
Do people all agree with her idea? Here are some ideas about it.
“Housework is the main reason for the stress in my life, ” says Linda in France. “Get me out of doing the housework and then I’ll really be relaxed.”

【解析】
【导语】本文讲述了一个没有双手的女孩Sarah,通过不懈努力学会写作,并赢得英语写作比赛一等奖的感人故事。
【69题详解】
句意:因为她是唯一一个没有双手的参赛者。根据空前“the only”可知,此处需用单数可数名词作表语,表示“参赛者”,动词compete的名词形式是competitor,故填competitor。
【70题详解】
句意:莎拉出生时没有双手。根据“Because she is the only competitor who doesn’t have hands.”可知,她出生时没有手,without“没有”,介词,此处表示伴随。故填without。
【71题详解】
句意:幸运的是,一对美国夫妇非常喜欢莎拉。分析句子结构可知,此处使用副词修饰整个句子;根据“Her family didn’t like her”和“an American couple liked Sarah very much”可知,莎拉的家人不喜欢莎拉,但是这对美国夫妇很喜欢莎拉,说明她很幸运,luckily“幸运地”,副词。放在句首,首字母也要大写。故填Luckily。
【72题详解】
句意:她比萨拉大两岁,她也喜欢莎拉。old形容词,根据“than”可知,此处使用形容词比较级形式older。故填older。
【73题详解】
句意:她比萨拉大两岁,她也喜欢莎拉。该句为肯定句,结合“an American couple liked Sarah very much. There was another girl in the family.”和语境可知,这个女孩也喜欢莎拉,too“也”,副词,置于句末。故填too。
【74题详解】
句意:他们教她说英语,把她当作一个普通人。根据“treated (对待) her…a common person”可知,此处是treat sb. as…“把某人当作”,表示“把莎拉当作普通人对待”。故填as。
【75题详解】
句意:她非常聪明,以至于一年内就能说英语。根据“so smart...she could speak English in just one year.”可知此处使用so…that…“如此……以至于……”,引导结果状语从句。故填that。
【76题详解】
句意:她决定参加它。take是动词,根据“decided”可知,此处是decide to do sth.“决定做某事”,所以此处使用动词不定式。故填to take。
【77题详解】
句意:笔一次又一次地从她的手臂上掉下来。根据“She began to learn to write”可知,句中时态为一般过去时,所以动词fall使用过去式fell。故填fell。
【78题详解】
句意:然而,她没有放弃。根据“however”可知,前后意思转折,结合下文“After two months, she could write very well.”可知,她坚持了两个月之后能够写得很好,说明她没有放弃,give up“放弃”。故填up。

I hope you and your mom will forgive each other soon.
Yours,
Liu Bin
