It is a completely normal and healthy emotion. However, it can be bad to both your emotional and physical health when you lose control of it. Then how do you know if your anger is good or bad? Defining (定义) good anger and bad anger: If you are angry about any kind of wrong-doing, for example, someone being mistreated, it is considered (认为) “GOOD” anger. Being angry when no wrong-doing happens, is considered “BAD” anger, because it is distorted (扭曲). What causes anger? Good anger is caused when you see someone breaks laws or rules. Bad anger is caused when you have unrealistic (不现实的) expectations of others. Or you are feeling stressed or tired. How to tell the difference between good anger and bad anger? Good anger: Can you make sure a wrong was done? Can you make sure you have all the facts you need to make that confirmation (证实)? Bad anger: Is your anger being caused by feelings of frustration (沮丧) or disappointment (失望)? ▲ Breathe deeply, and tell yourself that you are angry. Look for ways to process your anger, or decide to let it go. Physical activity can help reduce stress that can cause you to become angry. If you feel your anger escalating (加剧), go for a walk or run, or spend some time doing other enjoyable physical activity. 33. It is good anger when you are angry ________. A. about the laws B. about a good thing C. about a wrong D. at a difficult math question 34. Which of the following can cause your bad anger when you see or have it? A. The friendly tips. B. The stressful feeling. C. The wrong behavior. D. The sense of pride in something. 35. Which of the following can be put into ________ ? A. Why do you get angry? B. When is good anger helpful? C. Is anger really harmful to you? D. How to deal with your anger? B Everyone has got two personalities—the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep in. If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident. If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow. If you sleep curled up (蜷缩), you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own. If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry. 36. When does the sleeping position best show your secret personality? A. In the daytime. B. At the beginning of sleep. C. At night. D. During the deep sleep. 37. Tina hardly tells her secrets to her friends. She probably goes to sleep ________. A. on her stomach B. on her back C. on her side D. curled up 38. What does the passage tell us? A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping. B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems. C. Enough sleep makes people look better and healthier. D. Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities. C “Look in my eyes. Tell me why,” Have you ever wondered what Li Bai or Du Fu would say if they could speak to us today? Thanks to AI technology, creative vloggers are now bringing these ancient people “back to life”. They share stories in modern language, and their videos are taking the Internet by storm. In one video, Du Fu talks about his experience during the An Lushan Rebellion (叛乱) (755-763). In another, Ming Dynasty medical expert (专家) Li Shizhen jokes about modern lifestyles. He makes fun of how people try to be healthy by drinking goji berry (枸杞) water but still stay up late. “The videos make me want to learn more about important ancient people. I didn’t know much about their stories before,” said Wang Jiayi excitedly, 15, from Shandong. But the new trend isn’t for everyone. Some people may be annoyed by the way these ancient people speak, in high tones and always asking questions. “They’re too pushy, which is different from how they really were,” said a 14-year-old girl Wang Shuotong from Jiangsu. Xia Boen, 14, from Hubei, felt the same. But he was surprised to find that he remembered almost everything they said about their experiences and achievements, thanks to the speaking style in the videos. With AI the old images we see in textbooks come to life. Young audiences can experience history through funny and relatable conversations. In this way, culture finds new ways to connect with our lives today. 39. What event in history does Du Fu talk about in one of the AI videos? A. The Ming Dynasty’s medical achievements B. The An Lushan Rebellion C. The invention of goji berry water D. The life of Li Bai 40. Why does the writer mention Li Shizhen joking about modern lifestyles? A. To show that AI can create funny stories B. To explain how he became a medical expert C. To show how AI connects history with today’s life D. To make fun of modern people’s unhealthy habits 41. How do young people react (反应) to the AI videos of ancient people according to the article? A. All students find the videos annoying and pushy. B. Most students think the videos are against real history. C. Some enjoy experiencing history, while others dislike the speaking style. D. Some feel surprised to remember nothing about the video. 42. What is the main purpose of the article? A. To introduce a new way of spreading history and culture through AI B. To explain how AI technology works in creating videos C. To complain about some modern vloggers for using AI in an improper way D. To compare ancient poets like Li Bai and modern lifestyles D Caroline won the show jumping competition! She has never won it before! Sophie usually wins and she usually comes second. But this time, she did it! Everyone at home was happy, especially Fred, her brother. Seeing his smile, Caroline suddenly remembered Fred said he planned to do “a little help” to Sophie’s horse Blossom before the match. “Fred,” Caroline said. “I need to talk to you. What did you mean when you said: ‘with a little help Blossom can be sick’?” Fred told Caroline about Blossom and the sleeping pills. “Look! I’m sorry about Sophie and all that, but I did it for you.” “Fred!” Caroline cried. “Do you think I want to win like that? Do you really think that?” “But I only wanted to help you. Look Everyone is happy. You are, mum and dad are, your horse Apple wind is happy too, I think—and Sophie and Blossom will be okay in a few weeks.” “Fred! Sophie was lucky that she only broke a rib (肋骨). Thank goodness she didn’t break more!!! Thank goodness she’s not dead!!!” Fred started crying. “I’m sorry. I’m really sorry. I didn’t think …” “That’s alright, Fred,” Caroline said. “I know you did it for me. But we have to tell everyone the truth. I don’t want the Cup. Not like this!” “But Caroline, if you tell the truth, dad will sell Apple wind.” “I know,” said Caroline. And then she started crying. The next day at the stables (马厩), Caroline talked to Mr. Morley, the manager of the competition. “So you see, sir. I didn’t win because I was the best. I won because of the sleeping pills. I’m very sorry, sir. I didn’t know anything about it. And my brother is very sorry, too. He did it to help me. And he’ll never do it again. But I can’t accept the Cup. I don’t want to win the Cup like this.” “This is a very serious matter,” said Mr. Morley. “You know Fred committed a crime. If Sophie’s parents go to the police your brother will be in real trouble. Thank you for telling me, Caroline…” —Adapted from The Spring Cup 43. How did Fred help Caroline win the competition? A. By keeping encouraging Caroline. B. By making Sophie’s horse ill. C.

This policy aims to encourage primary and secondary schools to provide more fine music classes because a new study shows that music education is really important in school education. Here are some ideas on how music plays an important role in school education. Students learn a lot about languages through music. Many songs are written in foreign languages. Students must learn to translate these foreign works to understand what they are singing about. Students learn a lot of cooperation (协作) of body parts through music, so parts of the body can work better together. For example, students must use motor (肌肉运动的) skills in order to play an instrument. Singers and wind (管乐器) players must learn breath control and be in good shape to sing and play. Music education also brings higher thinking. Students have to be aware (知道的) of what every other musician does at every time. In this way, it develops cooperation as well. They tend to develop more ability for learning. 66. When did China start to include music tests in Senior School Entrance Exams? ________________________________ 67. How many good points about the importance of school music education are talked about? ________________________________ 68. Why can music help parts of the body work better together? ________________________________ 69. What do you think of school music education? In your daily life, what benefit (好处) do you think music brings to you? ________________________________ 八、书面表达（共10分） 70. 假如你是Daniel，你们学校正在招聘新的学生会主席，请你阅读以下招聘公告，并根据内容给校长写一封信，推荐你的好友Sandy。 We are looking for a chairperson of our Students’ Union.
