"I'll tell you a story.It's about love.And heartbreak."I tell my class.
All eyes look up and widen.Nothing quiets a chatty group of teenagers faster than the promise of a story.
This is a story I've told every February since I started teaching.
"In sixth grade,"I begin."I fell in love.His name was David.He had no interest in me,but I wrote his
name all over my diary.You get the idea."
They get the idea,laughing.
"So it was Valentine's Day.I saw an envelope on my desk.With shaky hands,I opened it.There was a
shiny picture of a queen with the heading,To a Queen of a Valentine.I excitedly turned the valentine(
over.At the bottom I saw the signature:David.Then my eyes travelled up to the writing above his
20
signature.It read,'TO THE UGLIEST GIRL IN OUR CLASS.'"
Mouths drop open.
"It destroyed my Valentine's Day.But I got over it.Now it has encouraged me to undo the cruelty of
David."I smile."And that's why we'll exchange Valentine cards to celebrate kindness.
"What should we write?And do we have to sign our names?"Someone asks when I handout the cards.
"Of course you sign your names.You can write something nice to anyone in the class.Remind them of
something fun you remember about them."
Watching them write is always fun.But the real fun comes when they read what people wrote to them.A
student drew me a valentine of a queen with the words "TO THE PRETTIEST GIRL IN THE ROOM,and
everyone signed it.That one still hangs next to my desk.
After 20 years of teaching,perhaps few students remember the grammar I taught them.But if one student
remembers the class they received one long-ago February,to me that makes it all worthwhile.
)16.How does the writer draw her students'attention?
A.By telling a story.
B.By making a card.
C.By reading a diary.
D.By drawing a picture.
)17.What happened on Valentine's Day when the writer was in sixth grade?
A.She broke David's heart.
B.She was made fun of by David.
C.She sent David a Valentine card.
D.She accidentally took someone else's card.
)18.Why does the writer ask the class to exchange Valentine cards?
A.To help her students to write better.
B.To train her students to work together.
C.To educate her students to spread kindness.D.To enable her students to remember quickly.
(
)l9.What can be inferred(推断)from the passage?
A.The writer felt embarrassed when receiving the Valentine card from her students.
B.The students have a difficult time doing the Valentine card exchange activity.
C.The students have no interest when the writer is talking about Valentine's Day.
D.The writer keeps sharing her experience with her students on Valentine's Day.

Did you know that humans aren't the only species (that use language?Bees communicate by
dancing.Whales talk to each other by singing.And some apes talk to humans by using American Sign
Language.
21
A female gorilla(大猩猩),Koko,was born at the San Francisco Zoo on July4th,1971.Koko learned
sign language from her trainer,Dr.Penny Patterson.Patterson began teaching sign language to Koko in 1972,
when Koko was one year old.Koko must have been a good student,because two years later she moved onto the
Stanford University campus with Dr.Patterson.Koko continued to learn on the campus until 1976.That's
when she began living full-time with Patterson's group,the Gorilla Foundation.Patterson and Koko's
relationship has been very close ever since.
Dr.Patterson says that Koko has mastered sign language and known over 1,000 words,and that Koko
makes up new words.For example,Koko didn't know the sign for ring,so she signed the words finger and
bracelet ()Dr.Patterson thinks that this shows meaningful and constructive use of language.
Not everyone agrees with Dr.Patterson.Some argue that apes ()like Koko do not understand the
meaning of what they are doing.Some people who don't believe that say that these apes are just performing
complex tricks ()For example,if Koko points to an apple and signs red or apple,Dr.Patterson will
give her an apple.They argue that Koko does not really know what the sign apple means.She only knows that
if she makes the right movement,one which Dr.Patterson has shown her,then she gets an apple.The
argument is not solved,but one thing is for certain:Koko is an extraordinary ape.
It seems like Patterson and Koko have a good relationship,but not everyone agrees with it.Some people
believe that Patterson is humanizing the ape.They think that apes should be left in the most natural state
possible.Even Dr.Patterson struggles with these feelings.When she was asked if her findings could be
duplicated by another group of scientists,she said,"We don't think that it would be ethical (to do
again."She went on to argue that animals should not be kept in such unnatural environments.
As for the future,Dr.Patterson and the Gorilla Foundation would love to get Koko to an ape preserve
in Maui,but they are having trouble getting the land.So unless you have a few million dollars to give,
Koko's going to be spending her time in Woodland,California with Dr.Patterson.Koko probably doesn't mind
that.If she moved to Hawaii,she'd have to give up her Facebook page and Twitter feed,and she's got 50
thousand "likes".Some may deny (that she knows sign language,but nobody says that she doesn't
know social networking.
)21.What is the writer's main purpose in writing the second paragraph?
A.To describe the environment in which Koko lives.
B.To tell readers how Dr.Patterson developed Koko's living skills.
C.To advise Patterson to free Koko after she learnt on the campus.
D.To make an introduction about Koko and Dr.Patterson's background.
)22.What do we know from the passage?
A.Koko has mastered sign language without a doubt.
B.Everybody likes how Dr.Patterson has raised Koko.
C.Some people think that Koko only signs to get food.
D.The Gorilla Foundation has got a land for Koko to stay naturally.

)23.Which of the following may best describe the structure of this passage?
B
C.②③④⑤
⑤6
)24.What does the underlined word "duplicated"in Paragraph 5 probably mean?
A.To disagree with someone.
B.To fool them.
C.To copy something.
D.To be disproved through debate.
)25.Which may be the main idea of this passage?
A.Bees,whales,and apes like Koko all use language to communicate.
B.Koko uses sign language but some think it's just a trick.
C.It is natural for gorillas to learn sign language like humans.
D.If you want a lot of "likes"on Facebook,get a talking gorilla

In order to become a better version of ourselves,we

people in need of help,we should lend a hand in time.
Second,we should get close to nature.We should protect
