Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.‎ When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.‎ Now, I am no longer too shy to ask people for directions, but I often receive helpless or even wrong information. So I try to avoid giving people wrong directions. If anyone ever asks me the way somewhere, I would say, “Sorry, I am a stranger here.”‎ Once on my way to work I was stopped by a man. He asked me if I could tell him the way to the Friendship Building. I gave him my usual reply. But just as I walked on only a few steps, I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn’t want to keep him waiting.‎ When I just got to my office, the secretary(秘书) showed in the man who had asked me for directions. Imagine how embarrassed I was and how surprised he was when we saw each other at the first sight.‎ ‎24．The writer always refuses to give people directions because _____________.‎ A．she is a stranger to the city B．she doesn’t know the people C．she has no time to help others D．she’s afraid of giving wrong directions ‎25．A man stopped the writer on the way to _____________.‎ A．sell her something B．ask her the time C．make friends with her D．ask for the direction ‎26．The Friendship Building is the place where the writer ______________.‎ A．lives B．studies C．works D．teaches ‎27．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?‎ A．The writer is too shy to give others directions.‎ B．The writer has a very poor sense of direction.‎ C．The writer never got lost when she was young.‎ D．The man was quite nervous when he saw the writer.‎ C ‎ Cowboys, policemen, princesses and superheroes are all characters kids choose to be on any given ‎ day. Putting on a play can be a fun activity that lets them act out their favorite characters as well as use their artistic ability to create the stage.‎ Best of all, they will be able to use their favorite line “ look at me” as the audience sits down to enjoy the production.‎ Help your kids decide on a play they would like to act out. Use the Internet or the library to find scripts (剧本) for older reading kids. For younger kids, they can act out a favorite story or a fairy tale. Of course, you could always help them write their own scripts.‎ Decide how many characters are needed. Invite neighbors and friends to be in your play or let your kids play more than one character. Make sure you teach them to change the way they look, move and speak so the audience can tell the difference.‎ Search for costumes and props (道具) supplies. Find clothes from your closet or attic (阁楼) , or go to a garage sale. Help everyone make a mask or put on makeup to represent their characters.‎ Get creative. Make tickets, invitations, movie posters and props for your kids’ play. You can even decorate a curtain and hang it in front of the stage. Set up chairs for the audience.‎ Choose your music. Pick something that goes with the theme of the play. Ask someone to play the piano or have the kids make up songs and help them make homemade instruments.‎ Rehearse the play. The more the play is practiced, the better it will be. Try starting early in the summer and practicing once a week. Set out a snack after rehearsal and make it light-hearted and fun. Then perform the play at the end of the summer vacation.‎ Invite the audience to sit down and enjoy the play.‎ ‎28．Which of the following characters may not be chosen by kids?‎ A．Policemen. B．Princesses.‎ C．Superheroes. D．Beggars.‎ ‎29．What can we learn from the passage?‎ A．Putting on a play can improve kids’ imagination.‎ B．Kids of different ages should choose the same script.‎ C．A kid can act out different characters in the same play.‎ D．Different costumes and props are not important on stage.‎ ‎30．The underlined word “ Rehearse” has the closest meaning to “___________”.‎ A．research B．review C．practice D．remember ‎31．Which is the best title for the passage?‎ A．How to Help Kids to Put on a Play B．How to Give Kids Useful Advice on Performances C．How to Get Kids Interested in Performing D．How to Teach Kids to Show Their Character D ‎ As Simon Kindleysides, 34, took his first step in the London Marathon in April, he felt as if magic was in the air.‎ ‎"As we were walking toward the first mile, we actually started joining all the runners," he said. "Everyone was on the streets, cheering, and that was a magical moment." As time went on, the crowds and other racers spread around. Kindleysides and his team of eight supporters continued walking.‎ Kindleysides, who is paralyzed(瘫痪的)from the waist down and typically uses a wheelchair, was equipped with an exoskeleton(体外骨骼)to help him walk. His supporters walked with him to change the batteries in his exoskeleton so he could keep moving.‎ In 2013, Kindleysides was diagnosed with a brain tumor (肿瘤) that was growing in a way that pressed on certain nerves, leading to him losing feeling in his legs. He was told he would never walk again. Before his ‎ paralysis, the London-based singer and dancer had "always wanted to run a marathon," he said, but he never made the plan to do so--until this year.‎ During the London Marathon, the last two miles were the hardest. "At that point, I was exhausted. It was freezing cold, and I was hurting emotionally," Kindleysides said. But he kept going. "I didn't want to let people down. I had a team of eight, and I was raising money for The Brain Tumour Charity," he said. "I didn't want to let them down, myself down, and I thought if I would get this far, I would have to continue."So he continued and made history as the first paralyzed man to complete the London Marathon on foot.‎ Then, recovering at home, he shared his accomplishment with his three children. "They used to say I'm the only dad in their whole school who's in a wheelchair, and now they say I'm their dad, the only one who has walked a marathon," he said.‎ Kindleysides is training to complete three more marathons next year, including the London Marathon again.‎ ‎32．Why did Kindleysides' supporters accompany him all the way?‎ A．To help change the batteries. B．To inspire him as a team.‎ C．To guide him along the road. D．To assist him with the wheelchair.‎ ‎33．What caused Kindleysides' disability?‎ A．An operation on his brain for the tumor. B．An accident in the previous marathon.‎ C．Some nerves produced out of the tumor. D．The pressure from the brain tumor on the nerves.‎ ‎34．What partly supported Kindleysides to finish the hardest two-mile race?‎ A．The prize money for the winner. B．The strong desire to recover.‎ C．The kindness to help the charity. D．The belief to beat others.‎ ‎35．What can we learn about Kindleysides?‎ A．He was once a successful actor.‎ B．He is ambitious for joining in London marathons once more.‎ C．His children feel a pity for him in the wheelchair now.‎ D．He was the first disabled man to complete the London Marathon.‎ 第二节 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to avoid a boring conversation What excuse should you use to avoid talking to people you don’t want to talk to? Here are tips and non-offensive ways to get out of unwanted conversations.‎ ‎1. Go for a refill.‎ It is natural for anyone at a party to be excused to get a refill. 36． And once you excuse yourself, make a move fast before the person requests you to get a refill for him as well.‎ ‎2. Pretend bad mood.‎ Cut off the conversation before it starts by saying something along the lines of “I’m not in a good mood. Can I talk to you later if you don’t mind? 37． Say it firmly so that people get the message loud and clear.‎ ‎3. Ask your friend to save you.‎ ‎38． Simply text your friend and ask him or her to come for apparently something important.
