8．I have loved my mother's desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as Mother sat doing letters．Standing by her chair，looking at the ink bottle，pens，and white paper，I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world
Years later，during her final illness，Mother kept different things for my sister and brother．But the desk，"she'd said again，"is for Elizabeth．"
I never saw her get angry，never saw her cry．I knew she loved me，she showed it in action．But as a young girl，I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter．
They never happened．
As years passed and I had my own family．I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family．I wrote in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive（原諒） me．
I posted the letter and waited for her answer．None came．
My hope turned to disappointment，then little interest and，finally，peace，it seemed that nothing happened．
I couldn't be sure that the letter had even got to Mother．I only knew that I had written it，and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not．
Now the present of her desk told me，as she had never been able to，that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work．
Give me an answer，my letter ask，in any way you choose．Mother，you always chose the act that speaks louder than words．

12．What did the writer fail to do when she was young？B

B．Have her mother's desk．
C．Have her mother's good habit．

A．She missed her mother．
B．Her mother lived far away．
C．She asked her mother to forgive her．
D．Her mother couldn't speak．
14．What can we learn from this passage？C
A．Her mother talked too much in life．
B．Her mother received the letter．
C．The writer got the answer to the letter．

6．What is it that makes people laugh？More than two thousand years ago the ancient Greek philosopher Aristotle defined （定義） jokes as the pleasure that results from a feeling of triumph（勝利） by showing we're better than someone else in a certain way．According to Aristotle and many other philosophers，all jokes depend mainly on showing inferiority in another person or group of persons-that is，putting it clearly，on showing that they are worse off than ourselves．Jokes raise our good opinion of ourselves at someone else's expense．
Showing how much better than other people we are is only one reason we like jokes．Someone may also use a joke to express their anger or their cruelty or any other kind of action that is not acceptable to us．We feel free to laugh when we hear about someone sliding on a banana skin．The joke lets us express those attitudes which are usually unacceptable to society．This is probably the reason why some of the jokes，especially those involving cruelty，are so popular with certain people．
Besides，all jokes depend on our enjoyment of laughing at something that is strange and out of place because it's different from things which are happening around it．The same situation can be either sad or pleasant，depending entirely on how strange and out of place it is．If a girl in a bathing suit falls into a swimming pool，we don't laugh because nothing unusual has happened．But if a man in a smart suit falls in，the situation is at once unusual in a pleasant way and we laugh．A good joke-teller will always try to build up a situation in which one thing is expected until something unexpected suddenly happens，and so we laugh．
 
21．According to Aristotle，all jokes depend mainly onA．
A．showing inferiority in another person or group
B．resulting in a sense of success
C．having a good opinion of other people

22．The underlined word"inferiority"（in Paragraph 1）meansA
A．something that is not as good as something else
B．something that is better than something else
C．someone that is not as good as someone else
D．someone that is better than someone else
23．What's the main idea of Paragraph 2？D
A．Showing we are better than other people is the only one reason we like jokes．
B．When people are angry，they would like to hear jokes．
C．People who like jokes are usually cruel．
D．To express those attitudes usually unacceptable to society is one of the reasons we like jokes．
24．What will a good joke teller always try to do？C
A．Make a sad situation into a pleasant one．
B．Make different things happen at the same time．
C．Make an unexpected thing happen in an expected situation．
D．Make people laugh at something unusual and out of place．

13．The Intelligent Transport team at Newcastle University have turned an electric car into a mobile laboratory named"DriveLAB"in order to understand the challenges faced by older drivers and to discover where the key stress points are．
Research shows that giving up driving is one of the key reasons for a fall in health and well-being among older people，leading to them becoming more isolated（隔絕）and inactive．
Led by Professor Phil Blythe，the Newcastle team are developing in-vehicle technologies for older drivers which they hope could help them to continue driving into later life．
These include custom-made navigation（導航） tools，night vision systems and intelligent
speed adaptations．Phil Blythe explains："For many older people，particularly those living alone or in the country，driving is important for preserving their independence，giving them the freedom to get out and about without having to rely on others．"
"But we all have to accept that as we get older our reactions slow down and this often results in people avoiding any potentially challenging driving conditions and losing confidence in their driving skills．The result is that people stop driving before they really need to．"
Dr Amy Guo，the leading researcher on the older driver study，explains，"The DriveLAB is helping us to understand what the key points and difficulties are for older drivers and how we might use technology to address these problems．
"For example，most of us would expect older drivers always go slower than everyone else but surprisingly，we found that in 30mph zones they struggled to keep at a constant speed and so were more likely to break the speed limit and be at risk of getting fined．We're looking at the benefits of systems which control their speed as a way of preventing that．
"We hope that our work will help with technological solutions（解決方案） to ensure that older drivers stay safer behind the wheel．"

27．What is the purpose of the Drivel AB？C
A．To explore newmeans of transport．
B．To design new types of cars．
C．To find out older driver′s problems．
D．To teach people traffic rules．
28..Why is driving important for older people according to Phil Blythe？A
A．It keeps them independent．
B．It helps them save time．
C．It builds up their strength．
D．It cures their mental illnesses．
29．What do researchers hope to do for older drivers？B
A．Improve their driving skills．
B．Develop driver-assist technologles．
C．Provide tips on repairing their cars．
D．Organize regular physical checkups
30．What is the best title for the text？B
A．A new Model Electric Car
B．A Solution to Traffic Problem
C．Driving Service for elders
D．Keeping Older．

4．I learned Japanese a few years ago．I can say that learning a language is a huge challenge to me．（26）BHere are a few tips from experts which can help you become fluent．
Know why you're studying a language．
Learning a language is not something you can just pick up and put away as you please．As Language Testing International points out，some languages can take up to 2，760 hours to learn well．Even easier languages，like French and Spanish，will take 720 hours．No one can do that much work on their own without serious motivation （動力）．（27）EWrite it down where you can see it to keep yourself motivated．
Practice．
You can't just do a lot of practice for one day and then take three days off．（28）F Set a regular schedule and stick to it．If you can make learning a language a routine（常規(guī)，慣例），the battle is partly won．
Speak with native speakers．
Talking with a native speaker is the single best way to improve your language skills．But how can you find one？（29）G Also ask your friends and family to see if they know someone who speaks your aim language
（30）A
A language represents people and their culture．If you don't value the people or the culture，then you don't value the language．So make efforts to learn about the native culture if you want to know the native language．Films and TV shows are a good place to start．Newspapers and news shows can also teach you what the people you are studying are interested in．

A．Look into the foreign culture．
B．But it is also quite worthwhile．
C．Don't be afraid of making mistakes．
D．No one can master every word in a language．
E．So make sure you have a real reason to learn a language．
F．The knowledge you learn in one day will be forgotten in those few days．
G．Websites，like italki and weSpeke，can help you connect with others across the globe．

11．Thousands of people were attracted to a 2-meter-wide lane in Tongcheng，Anhui proving this spring festival．Although （61）it was impossible to count the exact number，at least 5，000people visited it each day．
This narrow lane，（62）called （call） Liuchi Lane in Chinese，won greater popularity after the story behind it was broadcast on a CCTV show．At first glance it may seem unimportant，but to those（63）who  know its history，Liuchi Lane means much more than its（64）appearance （appear）．In the early Qing Dynasty it served （65）as the boundary between Zhang family and Wu family．They quarreled （66）fiercely （fierce） over which family had the right to build a wall on the dividing line．After（67）failing （fail） to make a compromise，the Zhangs turned to Zhang Ying，a family member of Zhangs and also a top official in the emperor's court．To（68）their （they） surprise，Zhang Ying did not provide the support they needed．He called for his family to step back I meter from the boundary．Seeing that，the Wus （69）agreed （agree） to move back another meter．Thus Liuchi lane was born．
In reality，the story of Liuchi Lane is not only about how to get along with others，（70）but  also a guideline for all the officials in China．

8．I want to talk about Miss Smith，a history teacher I had at secondary school （41）when  I was about 15．Most of the teachers I had were OK，（42）but they gave the feeling that it was just a job．It seemed that Miss Smith really （43）loved  （love） both history and teaching it．
One of the （44）best  （good） things about her lessons was that we didn't always have to study in an ordinary way．For example，rather than write an article for homework，usually we were allowed   （45）to work  （work） with a friend to write an imaginary dialogue between two historical  （46）figures （figure）．Then we could perform it for the class．I think Miss Smith influenced me in two important ways．Firstly，she made me （47）interested （interest） in history．Now I still read books on history and watch TV programs about it when I get the chance．（48）secondly    （second），she showed me how a teacher can use the students'own creativity o help them learn．Instead（49）of  just being a kind of audience for lessons，we were involved in  （50）deciding （decide） what happened in the lessons．

Firstly，take time to notice and appreciate the beauty in your own surroundings．（17）D"There is a great big world of wonder and beauty around us!"And as Brodersen explains．"Look for the beauty of the sunrise and of a friend's smile that brightens your day．Open your eyes to see the beauty you might not normally see．Doing so helps to cheer you up．"
Secondly，taking time to experience some simple pleasures also can bring joy to your heart and ease your stress．Take me for example．（18）A One universal simple pleasure is finding things that make you laugh．Make time to laugh every day．
Thirdly，don't take your family and friends for granted．Rich，rewarding relationships add greatly to the enjoyment of life．When you think of someone，why not call，e-mail or write them？（19）F As Wayne Lawton explains，"Invest time in relationships．Remove the attitude，what's in it for me？Happiness is found in putting other's interests，desires and concerns ahead of our own whenever possible．Selfishness is a dead-end street（死胡同）． （20）C

A．I delight in simple things like my favorite tea drink，a bubble bath or family photos．
