It was the first day of the summer vacation, and I planned to take a hiking trip with my fiend Ollie. That must be exciting! But my mixed feelings started when another friend Mareya called me. She would go on a vacation in Hawaii. That’s the vacation I always   9   for! I was happy for Mareya, but also a little envious （嫉妒的） of her.

Something worse happened when I answered Ollie’s phone. Ollie told me we had to   10   our trip because he would visit his uncle in Mexico. "I’m really sorry. But you understand, right?"Ollie said.

"Sure, no problem," I said, trying to smile   11   I felt quite unhappy. For the rest of the day, I could find   12   to cheer me up and felt really down. Finally, my mum asked me to   13   clippers （剪刀） to Mrs. Nishikawa. When I got to Mrs. Nishikawa’s house, she was working in her garden. "Would you like me to help?"I handed her the clippers and asked.

"That would be great!" she said. "You know, I am too old to look after this big, overgrown garden. I clip, and you water the plants."It felt good to help, but I   14   wished that I was going on a vacation.

"Oops!"Mrs. Nishikawa said. "Step back! That's poison oak （毒橡树）. I need to cut it down immediately!"

"Yikes!"I said. "I was so busy feeling sorry for myself. I didn't realize   15   I was watering."

"Exactly," Mrs. Nishikawa smiled."Whether it’s plants or   16   , we have to pay attention to what we’re watering. If we feed the poisonous plants or negative （消极的） thoughts, that’s what grows."

"That makes sense," I said. "But I can't just tell my mind to stop being sad."

"It's important to let   17   feel all feelings," she said. "But more importantly, you can try to feed your mind with happier thoughts later. Read a book, listen to music, or   18   enjoy the beauty of a flower."

"You mean like this one?" I asked, smelling a red rose.

Mrs. Nishikawa nodded. "That's exactly what I mean!"

9. A. searched            B. looked             C. wished            D. asked

10. A. worry about         B. call off            C. think of            D. go on

12. A. something          B. anything            C. everything         D. nothing

13. A. take               B. pay                C. bring              D. teach

14. A. once               B. already             C. seldom            D. still

15. A. what               B. where              C. how              D. when

16. A. problems           B. thoughts             C. decisions          D. habits

三、阅读理解（共18小题,每题2分,满分36分）

A

It is generally neither too hot not too cold in Suzhou. Sometimes summer can be hot and wet. Winter can be a little cold, but not too cold if the wind is not blowing too strongly.                   Many of the classical gardens in the city are designed with the change of seasons in mind. They show different features during different months. The Master of Nets Garden is full of different kinds of trees. Each of them blooms （开花） in a different season. The view of this garden changes according to the time of year. Rain should not be a problem. It shouldn't stop you from enjoying your stay in Suzhou. Instead, many would say the classical gardens are at their best in rain or heavy fog.

A. 2-10℃.           B. 7-13℃.            C. 12-24℃.           D. 5-17℃.

Are you an "E person" or an "I person"? These two personality labels （个性标签）are widely discussed online. They are part of a popular personality test called the Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, or MBTI. There are 16 results in total of the test.

Usually, an "I person" is quiet, while an "E person" is outgoing. But an "I person" can still act outgoing sometimes. For example, when an "I person" is with a group of "I" friends, they might want to change and become more social like an "E person".

According to psychologists（心理家）, this idea of personality changing is called "masking". That is hiding your true personality in certain situations. "Humans want to be welcomed, and they might change their personalities within a short time," wrote the Master Class website.

Using the MBTI result to describe someone’s personality seems fun. However, I realized I was deeply influenced by the result once. My sister was excitedly making a travel plan. But I remembered from an article that a "P person" doesn't like to make or follow plans. So I said to her, "You don't seem like a ‘P person’." "Why?"She asked back. "Because the personality test tells a ‘P person’ doesn’t like to make plans!" At that moment, I realized I’d taken the result too seriously.

The MBTI personality test may show something you don't know about yourself. And it can even be a fun way to start a conversation when meeting new friends. And that’s all for fun. Knowing someone’s MBTI result doesn't mean you really know this person. And those results of yours don’t define （定义） who you are.

22. An "I person" is usually _____ than an "E person".

A. quieter         B. more popular        C. more outgoing        D. more typical

23. Humans change their personalities within a short time to _____.

A. be welcomed                         B. make new friends

C. be a psychologist                     D. laugh at others

24. What can we infer（推断）from Paragraph 4?

A. A "P person" doesn’t like to make plans.

B. The writer’s sister may take a trip soon.

C. The writer’s sister was influenced by the test result.

D. It's not fun to use the MBTI result to describe someone.

25. If you know a person’s MBTI personality test result, you _____.

A. can't see it as a fun game

B. may still not know this person well

C. can't find an interesting way to communicate
