B One sunny weekend, Lucy’s aunt brought her a small plant. “This is a jasmine (茉莉花) plant,” her aunt said with a warm smile.“If you take good care of it, it will grow and bloom (开花) with the sweetest smell.” Lucy looked at the small green plant, feeling doubtful (怀疑的). “But I don’t know how to keep plants,” she said. “I’m afraid it will die.” Her aunt said, “Don’t worry. Just water it a little every morning and make sure it gets enough sunlight. Watching something grow because of your care is one of life’s greatest joys.” Though not sure, Lucy decided to try. She put the plant near her window where there was sunlight. Every morning, she watered the plant carefully. Weeks passed, but the plant stayed the same. Lucy sighed (叹息) “Maybe it’ll never bloom.” One evening, her mother felt Lucy’s disappointment. “Growing plants is like reading a story,” she said. “You can’t rush the ending. Just wait a little longer” Encouraged, Lucy kept taking care of the plant. Then one day, she saw small white buds (芽) on the plant! After a few more days, the buds opened into pretty white flowers, filling her room with a soft, sweet smell. Lucy’s heart filled with pride (自豪). When her aunt visited again, Lucy led her to the flowers and said, “Look! It bloomed!” “You did a wonderful job,” she said. “This is the gift of patience and care.” Lucy smiled. She learned that some of the best things in life take time and effort, and that makes them even sweeter. 31. What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 2 refer to? A. The water. B. The sunlight. C. The jasmine plant. D. The smell. 32. Why did Lucy sigh after weeks of taking care of the plant? A. She forgot to water the plant one day. B. The plant died because of her wrong care. C. She was tired of watering the plant every morning. D. The plant didn’t change at all and had no flowers. 33. Which of the following is TRUE according to the text? A. The plant bloomed quickly. B. Lucy’s mother told her to be patient. C. Lucy’s mother gave her the plant. D. Lucy’s aunt gave her a book about planting. 34.

Time waits for no man. C. Life is not always perfect. D. Plants need lots of water to grow. C Did you hear of “conscious (清醒的) spending?” According to Ramit Sethi, conscious spending is all about spending as much as possible on the things you love and cutting costs as much as possible on the things you don’t need. It’s about knowing what you really want and then spending your money on the things you love. The term “conscious spending” suggests that people experience unconscious spending nowadays. It’s almost like unconscious eating. We’re just without a plan, and we’re not really paying much attention, especially when using credit cards. The most important way to deal with unconscious spending is asking yourself some questions. Where did my money go? What do I love spending money on and why? How much do I need for the things I must have, such as food and bills? How much do I want to save and why? How much do I want to set aside for unimportant buys, such as coffee with a friend or a movie ticket? Answering these questions can help you feel excited and clear about your money, know what you care less about, and live according to what’s important to you. “Then, it’s a lot easier to cut down your spending in areas that you don’t need so much,” Klontz said. Your answers to these questions agree with what Sethi calls your “rich life”—the life of your own, free from what anyone else thinks you should do. When you think about what you really want, you will no longer have to feel anxious (焦虑的) or doubtful about how you spend your money. 36. What is conscious spending? A. It means cutting the cost of the things you like. B. It means buying a lot of things you really like. C. It means spending money as much as possible. D. It means spending money on the things properly. 37. Why does the writer mention “unconscious eating” in Paragraph 2? A. To explain how people spend money without thinking. B. To show that eating without a plan is healthy. C. To compare two different ways of saving money. D. To suggest that people should eat more consciously. 38. The writer develops his idea in Paragraph 3 by ________. A. listing numbers B. raising questions C. explaining differences D. giving examples 39. What can we infer from the last two paragraphs? A. People will feel excited after buying what they really want. B. People are easily influenced (被影响) by others. C. Spending money can make people feel anxious and doubtful. D. Conscious spending can make people know how to spend their money. 40. Where can we probably read the text? A. In a storybook. B. In a travel guide. C. In a life magazine. D. In a sports newspaper. D Do you know meerkats (猫鼬)? They are small. Their bodies are about 29cm long. They mainly live in the dry areas in Africa, with enemies everywhere. So how do meerkats stay alive in such a challenging environment? Well, they have developed many skills: They’re good at hunting, they can see enemies from far away. But the most important is that they live and work together as a team. Meerkats live underground in groups. Everyone has a role to play. Usually, one meerkat watches for enemies, and the others are responsible for tasks like looking after the baby meerkats and looking for food. When danger comes, the guard meerkat will make a loud warning sound so that all the others can run and hide. Sometimes, if there is a direct fight, meerkats will work together to drive away the enemies. Meerkats demonstrate the importance of teamwork. It is the key to their safety and survival (生存) in the wild. They show us that together we are stronger. For humans, teams are groups of people with different skills. They work toward a common goal. When everyone in a team uses their own strengths (力量), the team can achieve more. However, teamwork is not always perfect. It has problems. For example it sometimes takes longer to make a decision, as there might be disagreements (分歧). That’s why a great leader is needed. He or she can help make decisions and keep the team moving forward. 41. What is the most important reason for meerkats’ survival? A. Their good eyesight. B. Their hunting skills. C. Their scary looks. D. Their teamwork. 42. What is the third paragraph mainly about? A. Why meerkats live in groups. B. What meerkats do when they face danger. C. How meerkats work together. D. When meerkats come out from underground. 43. What does the underlined word “demonstrate” probably mean? A. Sense. B. Show. C. Explore. D. Realise. 44. Which of the following is a problem of teamwork described in the text? A. Team members may not trust each other. B. It is hard to find a great leader. C. Disagreements can slow down decision-making. D. Sometimes, members refuse to listen to others’ opinions. 45. What is the best title for the text? A. Meerkats: a lesson in teamwork B. Meerkats: a special animal in Africa C. Small bodies, smart minds D. Small animals, big achievements 第二节 （共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分） E 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。 Can’t you stop thinking about yourself? ____46____ If you’re worried about being a self-centred person, that’s great!

If you always feel lonely, it may not be easy for you to become more sociable. ____49____ Start with small steps to step out of your social comfort zone.
