The following experiment(实验) will show you. What you need: ·12 grapes ·A clean plate or dish ·A dry and sunny place What you should do: Step 1: Wash the grapes and put them in a dish or a plate. Step 2: Leave it in a dry and sunny place, such as a balcony. Step 3: Make sure the dish or the plate uncovered(无覆盖的) and check it each day for two weeks. What happens: ※The round, wet grapes slowly dry out and become shrivelled(干瘪的). ※They turn into raisins, which are just dried grapes. ※The water inside each grape moved through the grape's skin(皮) and disappeared into the air. We call that evaporation. ( )56. How long should we keep the grapes in a dry and sunny place? A. For a day. B. For two days. C. For a week. D. For two weeks. ( )57.

B Yang Zhen was an honest and clean(廉洁) official during the Eastern Han Dynasty (A.D.25~220). One day, Yang met his old workmate Wang Mi on a trip. They had fun talking about their life experiences and good wishes to the nation. In the past, Wang's ability and political ideas were not accepted by the people around him. Yang found Wang's talent and promoted(提拔) him. The chance helped Wang to be successful. Wang never forgot Yang's help and invited him to stay over for the night. It was near midnight when Wang knocked on the door of Yang's bedroom. He handed Yang a bag and said, "This is to thank you for helping me." Yang opened the bag. It was full of gold(金子). "Do I look like a person who accepts bribes(贿赂) from others? I thought you knew me well," Yang said angrily. “It’s late at night. No one will know if we keep it a secret,” said Wang. “What do you mean by saying no one will know that? Heaven knows, earth knows, you know and I know,” said Yang. “You can cheat(欺骗) anyone but not your own heart.” Finally Wang left the room in shame(羞愧地). ( )59. How did Yang feel when he saw the bag of gold? A. Sad. B. Excited. C. Angry. D. Surprised. ( )60. What's the correct order according to the text? a. Yang opened the bag. b. Yang met his old workmate. c. Wang left the room in shame. d. Wang invited Yang to stay over for the night. e. Wang knocked on the door of Yang's bedroom. A. b-d-e-a-c B. b-d-a-e-c C. b-a-d-e-c D. b-c-e-a-d ( )61. What is the best title for the text? A. Follow Your Heart B. A Secret C. Learn to Accept D. Be Honest and Clean C It's always easier to say "Yes" because most of us want to make other people happy. Somebody asks you to help them although you are busy at the moment, or to join in the activities you have no interest in. Even though your heart is crying "No", you find the word "Yes" comes out of your mouth. Lisa Messenger, a CEO, said in her first few years of business, many people asked her to talk over a coffee. Actually, she usually ended up having 20 coffee meetings a week and didn't have time to do her own work. Messenger finally learnt to refuse. She believes if you always say "Yes", you will regret(后悔) later. Or your heart will be filled with guilt(内疚), fear or anger because you feel bad for agreeing to do something you never want to do. So you need to be strong enough to say "No" when you're asked at first. Janine Garner, another CEO, believes we need to get very clear about our goals. Unless we work towards our goals, nobody else will care about our time. Garner said, "We may say 'Yes' because we feel sorry for somebody who needs us. But it will make us have a bad feeling in our heart. You can only achieve the best of you by stopping doing the things that take up your time and not adding anything towards your goals." ( )62. What can we infer(推断) about Lisa Messenger? A. She likes drinking tea in her work time. B. She thinks there is no need to say "No" to others. C. She knows how to refuse others now. D. She feels angry when she can't help others. ( )63. Which opinion would Janine Garner probably agree with? A. Offering help is the key to making friends. B. Helping others may make you successful. C. People who need us will care about our time. D. You'd better learn to say "No" if necessary. ( )64. What does the underlined word "it" in the last paragraph refer to? A. Saying "Yes". B. Getting clear about our goals. C. Working towards our goals. D. Refusing to help others sometimes. ( )65. Why does the writer write this text? A. To explain why people find it hard to refuse others. B. To encourage readers to learn to say "No" for their own goals and happiness. C. To share the successful stories of two CEOs. D. To discuss the negative effects of too many coffee meetings. D In a village, there stood a huge tree that was over 200 years old. The villagers believed it was magical because it never lost its leaves, even in winter. Children loved playing under it, and the old people often sat under it, sharing stories. One day, a young boy named Leo got close to the tree, looking upset. “Old Tree,” he said, “I didn’t pass my maths test today. I work so hard, but I keep making mistakes. Maybe I’m just not smart enough.” The tree shook its leaves and replied, “Leo, do you see the scars (疤痕) in my body? They’re all from storms, droughts, and even lightning. Yet, here I stand—taller and stronger than ever.” Leo thought about it carefully. “But how does that help me? I’m not a tree.” The tree smiled. “Every scar taught me to become strong. Every storm made my roots (根) grow deeper. Failure isn’t the end—it’s a lesson. If I gave up after the first storm, I wouldn’t be here today.” "So... my mistakes are like your scars? They make me stronger?" "Right" the tree said. " Remember-even the strongest tree was once a small and weak tree that refused to give up." Leo smiled and ran home, beginning to try again. Months later, he returned, holding a perfect maths test. "Old Tree, I did it!" he cheered. Life's challenges, like storms, shape us into stronger people. Every failure is a step towards success—if we keep going. ( )66. What can we know from the tree's scars? A. The tree was easily hurt. B. The tree was sick and needed help. C. The villagers often harmed the tree. D. The tree experienced many difficulties. ( )67. What happened months later when Leo returned to the tree? A. He brought a new friend to meet the tree. B. He showed the tree his perfect maths test. C. He was sorry for not visiting earlier. D. He asked the tree for more advice. ( )68. Which words best describe the tree according to the story? A. Kind but weak. B. Strong and helpful. C. Wise but impolite. D. Friendly and funny. E When talking about the butterfly effect(蝴蝶效应), people would think of Ray Bradbury's short story A Sound of Thunder. In the story, a group of people travel back in time. One of them steps on a butterfly by accident. When he returns to the present, the world has changed greatly! The butterfly effect came from Edward Lorenz, an American scientist, who came up with it during his weather prediction research in the 1960s. In one of his weather models(模型), Lorenz found that small changes in starting conditions created greatly different results. He compared it to the wind created by a butterfly flapping(扇动) wings in Brazil causing a storm in Texas. Lorenz's findings changed how scientists understand predictions. In the past, scientists thought causes (A) and effects(B) were direct and simple(A→B). But the butterfly effect shows that real-world system is not simple. And it can often change because of something unexpected(不可预料的). Therefore, it's hard to make predictions accurately(准确地). At the heart of the butterfly effect is that everything is connected. The butterfly effect can be found in many areas. In business, a small decision can bring great changes, like drawing the interest of buyers. In nature, hurting one part of nature might destroy the whole planet. The butterfly effect reminds us that the world is deeply connected. As the saying goes, " ▲ " We must think carefully because what we are doing can shape the future! ( )69. How does the writer start the text? A. By giving an example. B. By using a saying. C. By telling a story. D. By asking a question. ( )70. What did scientists realize because of Lorenz's findings? A. Humans could predict the weather accurately. B. Causes and effects are directly connected. C. Butterflies are in control of the weather. D. The world can often change because of the unexpected. ( )71. What does Paragraph 4 mainly tell us? A. The first person who found the butterfly effect. B. The special reminding of the butterfly effect. C. The real-life examples of the butterfly effect. D. The possible causes of the butterfly effect. ( )72. Which of the following sayings is right for ▲ ? A. A healthy man is a happy man. B. Small actions make a big difference. C. A friend in need is a friend indeed. D. Many hands make light work. 第二节 阅读下面短文，并用英语回答问题 (请注意每小题的词数要求)。 F In the Qing Dynasty, there were two neighbours in a small village. One was named Zhang and the other was named Wu. But one day, when they wanted to build a wall on the land between their houses, a big problem appeared: They both thought the land was theirs. So they started to argue. The argument got worse and worse. Then the Zhang family thought of a way. They wrote a letter to Mr Zhang, a very important person in the big city from their family. They told him about the problem with the land and the wall. Mr Zhang read the letter. He didn't get angry at all. Instead he wrote a poem and sent it back to his family. The poem said, "Writing a letter from home just for a wall. Why not give them three feet more? The Great Wall is still there today, but where is the First Emperor now?" After reading the poem, the Zhang family understood what Mr Zhang meant. They were so ashamed(羞愧的) that they told the workers to move the wall back three feet.
