My parents divorced and I moved to a new town with my father, far from my old family and friends. I was terribly lonely and would cry myself to sleep each night. To ease my sadness, my father purchased an old horse for me at a local auction. I named him Cowboy.‎ Cowboy was undoubtedly the ugliest horse in the world. But I didn’t care. I loved him beyond all reason.‎ I joined a riding club and suffered rude comments and mean snickers about Cowboy’s looks. I never let out about how I felt, but deep inside, my heart was breaking. The other members rode beautiful, registered horses.‎ When Cowboy and I entered the events where the horse is judged on appearance, we were quickly shown the gate. No amount of preparation and love would turn Cowboy into a beauty. My only chance to compete would be in the speed events. I chose the jumping race.‎ One girl named Becky rode a big brown horse in the race events. She always won the blue ribbons. Needless to say, she didn’t feel threatened when I competed against her at the ‎ next show. She didn’t need to. I came in next to last.‎ The stinging memory of Becky’s smirks(得意的笑) made me determined to beat her. For the whole next month I woke up early every day and rode Cowboy five miles to the arena(运动场). We practiced running and jumping for hours in the hot sun and then I would walk Cowboy home totally exhausted.‎ All of our hard work didn’t make me feel confident by the time the show came. I sat at the gate and sweated it out while I watched Becky and her horse charge through the course and finish in first place.‎ My turn finally came. I put on my hat, rubbed Cowboy’s neck and entered the arena. At the signal, we dashed toward the first fence, jumped it without trouble and raced on to the next one. Cowboy then flew over the second, third and fourth fences like a bird and I turned him toward the finish line.‎ As we crossed the line the crowd was shocked into silence. Cowboy and I had beaten Becky and her fancy horse by two seconds!‎ I gained much more than a blue ribbon that day. At thirteen, I realized that no matter what the odds, I’d always come out a winner if I wanted something badly enough to work for it.‎ ‎25．The underlined expression “shown the gate” (paragraph 4) most probably means “_________”.‎ A．told how to enter the arena . ‎ B．shown how to make the horse beautiful.‎ C．removed from the competition early. ‎ D．told to enter the timed-speed events.‎ ‎26．Why was the writer NOT confident of beating Becky?‎ A．He had not practiced enough.‎ B．He was an inexperienced rider.‎ C．He believed he was unpopular with the crowd.‎ D．Becky and her horse performed well in their turn.‎ ‎27．What did the writer learn from his experience?‎ A．Life can sometimes be unfair.‎ B．A positive attitude will bring success.‎ C．Anything is possible if one tries hard enough.‎ D．One should not make judgments based on appearance.‎ ‎28．The best title for the story is ________.‎ A．A Run to Remember. B．A Horse’s Tale.‎ C．Neck and Neck. D．A Difficult Age.‎ C Cooking programmes and classes for children seem to positively influence children’s food preferences and behaviours, according to a recent review. And, although the review didn’t look at longterm effects of such programmes, the findings suggest that such programmes might help children develop longlasting healthy habits.‎ This research comes at a time when childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly. More than onethird of adolescents(青少年) in the United States were obese in 2012, according to the US Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This trend has been caused, at least in part, by a significant decrease in the amount of meals that people consume at home since the 1980s, according to background information in the study. ‎ Cooking education programmes, such as Food Explorers, teach children about new healthy foods and how to prepare them. They also stress the importance of eating five fruits and vegetables every day. A volunteer parent explains a new food to the group, and the kids make something based on the lesson, such as fruit or vegetable salad. Depending on the programme, kids may be sent home with information about healthy foods to bring to their parents, the review explained.‎ The study team reviewed eight other studies that tested different types of cooking education programmes. Children in these classes were between 5 and 12 years old, according to the review. The goal of the study team was to learn more about developing an efficient programme to encourage healthy food choices that last a lifetime. The study found that it is particularly important to expose kids to healthy foods on a number of occasions. This makes them feel comfortable with the new foods, which helps them build healthy habits.‎ The study stressed the importance of getting parents involved in(参与) their children’s ‎ eating habits. Parents who are unable to enroll their kids in a cooking class can achieve similar benefits by having their kids help them while they prepare meals at home. Children are more comfortable at home, which makes them more receptive to new foods because they will make the connection to a positive experience.‎ ‎29. What can we infer from the second paragraph? ‎ A．Childhood obesity is totally caused by eating habits.‎ B．Eating out frequently causes obesity.‎ C．Childhood obesity rates have been rising rapidly since 2012.‎ D．Food consumption has decreased significantly since the 1980s.‎ ‎30. Which of the following is TRUE according to the study?‎ A．Parents should let their kids cook independently at home.‎ B．Children who participate in cooking programmes are less likely to become obese.‎ C．A greater willingness to try new foods helps build healthy habits. ‎ D．Children who take cooking courses are more likely to choose fruits and vegetables as ‎ adults.‎ ‎31. Which of the following does this passage belong to?‎ A．Education Systems. ‎ B．Public Health Research. ‎ C．Parentchild Relationship. ‎ D．Science and Technology. ‎ ‎32. The purpose of the passage is________．‎ A．to inform the readers ‎ B．to entertain the readers C．to discuss with the readers ‎ D．to warn the readers D ‎“Clothes Swapping”has become an increasingly popular activity for women in the United States. The women can give away unwanted clothing at a clothes swap event and get something different in return.‎ Recently about 300 women went to a clothes swap at a high school in Springfield，Virginia. It was the largest crowd ever for the area's popular clothesswapping group.‎ Daphne Steinberg was having a good day.“For anyone who knows Ann Taylor LOFT，Ann Taylor is a really nice women's designer and I will totally wear this to work. So I love that I can equip myself for work，have a good time in doing it，and not totally bankrupt myself.”‎ Sandy Van Dusen likes the idea that clothes are finding new homes instead of being thrown away，because it helps to keep the Earth green.“In my opinion，there's no point in continuing to buy new clothes when we can reuse what's already here. Give it a new home—let somebody else love what you used to love and no longer love. ”‎ Kim Pratt organized the clothesswapping event in Springfield. She also organized a moneyraising activity for the high school's debate team.It is one of several ways that her group gives to charitable causes. Another is by donating all of the “unswapped” clothing to shelters for victims of domestic violence.‎ ‎“I started doing this four years ago，and we've been doing it for four years，and it's getting bigger and bigger each time we have a swap.”‎ She used the social media website meetup.com to help publicize the events. The website has helped her group grow from 30 members to 1,300. Mrs. Pratt says most of the members respect the clothing swap rules. But she says competition for desirable fashion can be strong.‎ ‎“We have to tell people sometimes not to hover over the new people coming in with their clothing. As they put it out, some people tend to grab the stuff right out of their hands and it becomes like a freeforall. We try to avoid that as much as possible. ”‎ ‎33．At a clothes swap women can ________.‎ A．make some money by giving away unwanted clothing B．buy whatever clothing they like C．have a social gathering and make friends D．exchange unwanted clothing for something different ‎34．What is Paragraph 5 mainly about?‎ A．How Kim Pratt started the clothesswapping event.‎ B．What Kim Pratt did with the unswapped clothes.‎ C．How Kim Pratt raised money to help charitable causes.‎ D．What Kim Pratt did to help people in need.‎ ‎35．It can be inferred from the last paragraph that________.‎ A．clothes swaps often go out of control in the end B．clothesswapping is becoming increasingly popular with women C．improper behavior at clothes swaps needs to be controlled D．more clothesswapping events need to be organized 第二节：(共 5 小题；每小题 2 分, 满10分 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ How to Be a Good Listener to Your Family Communication is important for strong family relationships, 36 Working on your listening skills can help you communicate better and form stronger bonds.‎ Listen actively.

Never think about other things when someone is talking. 37 ‎ Repeat what has been said. Briefly summarizing what the speaker has said can go a long way towards effective communication. Everyone wants to feel valued and heard, so repeating a family members’ point can show you were listening. 38 It can really allow you and your family to communicate better as well.‎ ‎ 39 Interrupting can put breaks on effective conversation. Always allow a few seconds of silence after someone finishes talking before offering your response. This allows you to make sure the speaker has finished talking. Do not talk over someone either. No matter how curious you feel about a subject, do not start talking until the other person has finished.‎ Avoid hurrying the speaker. 40 Do not break in before the speaker is finished just to hurry the speaker along.
