We stopped, bent down, talked gently to the dog and patted it. I checked and there was a collar with a phone number. I called but no one answered.The dog was painfully thin. So Julie ran home to get some of our dog’s food while I tried to encourage the dog. After Julie came back, we sat down on the sidewalk while our new friend made short work of the food. Eventually we got her home. After trying for many times we got a response from the number. A lady came around with a bunch of flowers for us. She explained that Tara had been her father’s dog. She was very old and got lost that morning. So, Tara was safely returned home.Here is the truth of the story:Actually Julie and I were out that morning because I was leaving. She was trying to persuade me to come back, but I wasn’t hearing anything that made that sound likely. I was about to turn and go when an old black dog walked between us and almost fell down. Suddenly we had something more important than our problem to worry about. There was a creature in need right before us and we had to work together to help it.We did help it. And here I am writing the story in my own home, in my own family.In the song “Love Is Not a Fight” Warren Barfield talks about marriage.

For the first time ever, we’ve increased the size of display (显示) by making the screen taller but not wider.You can see more of your content without the need to scroll. We are making scrolling the thing of the past. It is more comfortable to use and reduces tiredness from scrolling when you read long documents.Even with the larger display, it is the thinnest iPhone we ever built. To achieve the design this tall, we have to look at it and completely redesign the architecture inside. It’s 18% thinner and 79.5% taller than the previous iPhone. It makes everything you do on “iPhone5” easier. No more hidden menus, no confusing gestures. Everything is right at your fingertips.The panorama feature (全景拍照) is simply awesome. The ultra HD (超高清) widescreen display lets you get your entire shot in a single snap (快门). You can also use its creative design for picture stabilization.With an iPhone this tall, reception of signals has never been better. And of course, all your favorite applications are still available. In fact you will find your old favorites also benefit from the new experiencing handsome ultra HD widescreen. We found while many previous iPhone owners were using Facetime, they only used it for the faces. That’s why we are introducing Bodytime. With its ultra HD widescreen display, Bodytime lets you see a person’s entire body.It took all of our learning and all of our thinking to realize something so simple, so clear, and yet so tall. And I wish your pocket were tall enough to hold such a perfect invention!68. How is the screen of “iPhone 5” different from the previous ones?A. Wider. B. Taller. C. Easier. D. Thinner.69.

What can we infer about “iPhone 5” from the passage?A. It is really necessary for you to hide menus.B. The reception of signals is bad due to its length.C. Bodytime is popular with previous iPhone owners.D. New applications of “iPhone 5” are unbelievable.71. “iPhone 5” is introduced in a(n) ________ way in this passage.A. humorous B. objective C. scientific D. seriousEA recent study suggests that teens’ relationship with parents, friends and teachers may have a lot to do with why they don’t get a good night’s sleep.David Maume, a sociologist and sleep researcher, analyzed federal health data, which interviewed 974 teenagers when they were 12, and then again at 15. He found that family dynamics (动态) have much to do with how well kids sleep. Teens, who had warm relations with their parents and felt like they could talk to them or their parents were supportive of them, tended to sleep better. However, families that were going through a divorce or a remarriage tended to affect teens’ sleep. And problems at school also affected teens’ sleep. Feeling safe at school and having good relations with teachers tended to promote better sleep. As did good relationships with friends. Kids who took part in sports or other positive social activities or shared similar academic goals with their friends were also more likely to get a good night’s sleep. These add up to what makes lots of sense: a general feeling of well-being helps teens sleep. If we’re happy and contented, we’re much more likely to sleep better than if we’re sad and anxious.Now, of course, teens can hardly resist being drawn to their computers and social networking. Maume also found that when parents were strict not only about bedtime, but also about limiting technology, kids slept better. It’s a finding that seems obvious, but parents really do matter when it comes to health habits of their teenagers.Clearly, teenagers aren’t getting 9 to 10 hours a night, which puts them at risk for all the consequences of lack of sleep, including poor academic performance, colds and stress. 72. What is the passage mainly about? A. Teens’ sleep is linked to their relationship with people around them. B. Lack of adequate sleep puts teens at risk of many bad consequences. C. Modern technology has something to do with teens’ sleep problems.D. It is necessary for teens to join in sports and positive social activities.73. According to Maume’s analysis, who will probably have a poor night’s sleep?A. Teens who feel like talking with their parents. B. Teens who have friends sharing their dreams.C. Teens who feel contented about themselves. D. Teens who lack a sense of security at school.74. Para 5 functions as . A. a comparison B. an introduction C. a conclusion D. an addition 75. Parents are supposed to when their kids are growing up. A. continue their broken marriage B. allow children to decide when to sleepC. limit teens’ using new technology D. force teens to have 10 hours’ sleep daily第Ⅱ卷第四部分 写作(共两节,满分35分)第一节 任务型读写(共10小题;每小题1分,满分10分)阅读下面短文,根据所读内容在表格中的空白处填入恰当的单词。注意:每个空格只填一个单词。For years, researchers have looked into a possible relationship between heat and violence. There are conflicting results over whether there is an actual connection between rising anger and rising temperature, but the murder rate constantly increases during the months of July and August, according to the FBI’s annual crime report. Many police chiefs say they put more policemen on the streets when the heat rises. “Calls for service always increase from May, June, July and August,” said New Bedford’s Captain Richard Spiriet. “The longer period of time you have the heat, the worse it is. It’s just the opposite in the winter time.”Craig Anderson, a professor and specialist in social psychology at Lowa State University, argues the evidence is clear. “As the temperature goes up, people become more uncomfortable. They become easier to get angry,” he said. “That increases the possibility that a small conflict will be interpreted as more major.” Anderson conducted a couple of studies looking at crime rates over the course of several years within the same area to see when most violent crimes occurred. He found that violent crimes were more likely to occur on hot days and hot months - even hot years had higher violent rates than cold years, according to his research.Other research shows it is not so much the physical climate, but rather the social climate, that causes increased violence. “During the summer months, people stay up later. They talk with their neighbors. They party with their friends,” said Jack Levin, director of the Brudnick Centre on Violence at Northeastern University. “There are more likely to be large numbers of people interacting, and they are more likely to argue.” Perhaps the realization that there is a link will help people in an argument step back and say, “Let’s cool off” - both literally (字面上地) and figuratively (比喻地).Title Heat and ViolenceTheme Violence possibly has a (76) ___________ with heat.Facts ☆July and August witness the (77) ____________ increase of murder rate.☆More policemen are called in with the heat (78) ____________.☆People get angry more (79) ____________ as the temperature goes up.(80) __________ of the research ☆Fewer violent crimes occur on (81) ____________ days.☆The (82) ____________ climate causes increased violence.☆People usually go to (83) ____________ later during the summer months.☆There are more likely to be (84) ____________ when people chat with each other.Conclusion (85) ____________the link will help people in an argument cool off.

If you follow the plan and concentrate on what you’re doing, it helps you study effectively. Besides, don’t forget to include at least three hours of exercise each week to keep your mind sharp.What’s more, make the most out of class. Preview lessons before the class and it helps you follow the teachers in class and have a good knowledge of what is important but difficult. Do review what is done wrong and learn lessons from mistakes.Above all, building up confidence is essential to success. Only when you believe in yourself, can you keep up your spirits and be successful.Now, take some time to be with your family and enjoy yourself for Spring Festival, then get to work.Best wishes, Editor
