Be positive.Chinese people will use two common sayings to tell you that there is always a road ahead. One of the sayings comes from a book called Civilian Mottos from Ancient China (《增广贤文》). It was published around the late 16th century. It says, "When a chariot(马车) arrives in front of a mountain, there's always a road there; when a boat floats towards a bridge, it will naturally go, straight." The meaning here is that when you drive a chariot to a mountain, there must be a road you can take to go forward, and water currents(水流) will naturally straighten a boat when it goes to pass under a bridge. In more common language: Don't worry about what's going to happen in the future because things will work themselves out. The second saying is two lines from a poem written by LuYou, a great Southern Song Dynasty historian and poet. The two lines are translated as, "Mountains multiply, streams（小溪） double back and I doubt if there's any road; willows cluster darkly, blossoms shine, and another village suddenly appears ahead." In easier language: Don't lose hope, and there's always a way. These popular expressions are often used to offer comfort and encouragement to people in difficult times and to encourage people to face the world calmly. There is a Western saying that follows the same idea,"When God closes one door, he opens a window.” 根据材料内容选择最佳答案。 31. How many famous sayings does the passage mention? A.Two B.Three. C. Four. D.Five. 32. How does the writer show his idea of being positive? A. By describing mountains and rivers. B. By telling some common sayings. C. By introducing a book by Lu You. D. By showing some famous Western sayings. 33.Which of the following idioms has the similar meaning to the two lines by Lu You? A.山高路远 B.山穷水尽 C.跋山涉水 D.峰回路转 34. What is the structure of the passage? 35. What is the best title for the passage? A. A Western Saying B. The Meaning of Culture C. Courage Leads to Success D. Be Positive About Trouble D A hobby is an activity that a person enjoys doing in the free time. Scientists say that hobbies can make kids smarter, healthier and even more successful when they grow up. 36.____________ They help you learn.

Last term, I faced great difficulties in English learning. I was extremely afraid of speaking English in class because I was worried about making mistakes. My pronunciation was also poor, and I often got nervous when answering the teacher's questions. As a result, I was far from interested in English, and my test scores kept dropping. It made me feel very frustrated and helpless. When Ms. Li noticed my problem, she talked to me patiently after class. She told me that making mistakes is a normal part of learning and encouraged me to be brave. She spent extra time helping me practice my pronunciation, correcting every word I pronounced wrong. She also created many small speaking tasks for me, like introducing my daily life or talking about my hobbies. Whenever I made progress, she would praise me loudly in class, which gave me great confidence. Gradually, I stopped fearing English and even started to enjoy speaking it. With her help, my English scores improved a lot in the final exam. Ms. Li’s kindness and patience helped me get through the hard time. She is not just my teacher, but also a friend who encourages me. I will always be grateful to her and keep working hard in English. 听力原文 一、听力理解（20小题，每小题1分，共20分） 第一节 听下面5段对话。每段对话后有一个小题，从题中所给的A、B、C三个选项中选出最佳答案。每段对话读两遍。 1．A: Is the panda your favorite animal, Linda?
