My 16-year-old son, Anton, had gone to the local swimming hole. Most kids swam there, and there were plenty of rocks for them to use as safe harbors, so I had no fears for his safety.
Still, the firefighter’s first words “You need to come up here to the Stillwater River” made me catch my breath and his follow-up words gave me relief: “Your son is OK.”
When I got to the river, I immediately saw the firetruck, ambulance and Anton, wrapped with a towel about his shoulders, sitting quietly on a low platform of the fire engine.
I hurried over to him. “You OK?” I asked.
“Yeah,” was all that he said. But my eyes begged for an explanation, I didn’t get it from my son, however, who tends to play his cards close to his vest.
The story was this: A woman was being swept under water. Hearing the cries, Anton and his friend Tyler, without hesitation, swam out to her, and brought her safely to shore.
In an age in which the word “hero” is broadcast with abandon and seemingly applied to anyone who make it through the day, I realized the real thing in my son. The teens are stubborn and self-centered, but that didn’t mean they have no desire to do good.
Still shocked by my son’s daring, I drove him home. Along the way, I tried to dig out some more information from him－but he had precious little to say. The only words he said were, “What’s for supper?”
I spent some time alone that evening, thinking about the tragedy that might have been. The next morning, when Anton got up, I half expected him to tell me the story. But all he did was toast some bread, pull himself together, and head for the door to start a new day. Watching from the window, I was reminded that still water often runs deep.
5.Why did the mother allow her son to swim there?
A. Because he was an excellent swimmer.
B. Because the water of the river was shallow.
C. Because he was old enough to swim.
D. Because the rocks could be of help if there is danger.
6.The underlined part “who tends to play his cards close to his vest” probably means ______.
A. Anton is a boy fond of swimming with other kids
B. Anton is unwilling to tell others what he thinks
C. Anton always has a desire to help others
D. Anton seldom changes his mind
7.In the mother’s eyes, what her son did was _________________.
A.dangerous but interesting B. unexpected and courageous
C. meaningful but difficult D. awful and absurd
8. What might be the best title for the passage?
A. My son, my hero B. Anton, a silent boy C. A good deed D. A proud mother
C
Staying positive through cold season could be the best defence against getting sick, a new American study suggests.
In an experiment that exposed healthy volunteers to a cold or flu virus, researchers found that people with a generally sunny character were less likely to fall ill. The findings, published in the journal Psychosomatic Medicine, build on evidence that a “positive emotional style” can help keep away from the common cold and other illnesses.
“People with a positive emotional style may have different immune responses to the virus,” explained lead study author Dr. Sheldon Cohen of Carnegie Mellon University in Pittsburgh. “And when they do get a cold, they may experience their illness as less severe.”
Cohen and his colleagues had found in a previous study that happier people seemed less susceptible to catching a cold, but some questions remained as to whether the emotional quality itself had the effect.
For the new study, the researchers had 193 healthy adults complete standard measures of personality qualities, physical health and “emotional style”. Those who tended to be happy, energetic and easy-going were judged as having a positive emotional style, while those who were often unhappy, tense and hostile had a negative style.
Afterwards, the researchers gave them nose drops containing either a cold virus or a particular flu virus that causes flu-like symptoms. Over the next six days the volunteers reported on any aches, pains, sneezing they had. Cohen and his colleagues found that happy people were less likely to develop a cold. What’s more, when happy folks did develop a cold, their symptoms were less severe than they would be expected based on objective measures.
In contrast, people with negative characters were not at increased risk of developing a cold based on objective measures, though they did tend to get down about their symptoms.
“We find that it’s really positive emotions that have the big effect”, Cohen said, “not the negative ones.”
So can a bad-tempered person fight a cold by deciding to be happy?
9. The purpose of Cohen’s new study was to _______________.
A. find effective ways to fight illnesses
B. test people’s different immune responses to cold virus
C. tell differences between happy people and unhappy people
D. examine whether health was related to emotional styles
10. How did Cohen reach his conclusion?
A. By comparing the experimental results of different groups.
B. By asking the volunteers to complete a form.
C. By collecting data among people with a cold.
D. By observing the volunteers’ symptoms.
11. We can conclude from the text that_______________.
A. success is the twin of positive spirits
B. we get more by being more positive
C. the happier we are, the fewer colds we will suffer
D. physical health is more important than mental health
D
Eco-friendly Vauban, located in the southwest of Germany, is a city where less than 20% residents(居民) own cars, since parking spots are a no-no on private property. Most of the residents get around Vauban by walking or biking, according to a report from ABC news. Can an eco-friendly city like Vauban be a model for Americans to stop their over-reliance on the cars?
Sometimes when I watch a news report what’s in the back of my mind is what isn’t being reported or stressed. While this eco-friendly city is inspiring in that it shows residents getting exercise and fresh air through the majority use of bicycles, as well as good old fashioned walking, common sense would tell you that even for a place like Vauban, Germany, it owes its existence to the cars.
Do you think that bicycles were able to transport all the construction materials that were needed to build and maintain the eco-friendly homes and businesses in Vauban? It took cars to help build this utopia. It is one of the paradoxes(矛盾) of life that sometimes in order to get away from relying on something like the car, you actually have to rely on that very thing at the beginning and into the foreseeable future to some degree.
I myself haven’t owned a car for more than 14 years, and mostly get around town running, walking, or using public transportation. There are times I wish I had one, since it would make many things easier, but overall I’m glad not to have to deal with the headaches of owning a car, which caused me to get rid of it in the first place. And all the walking and running has helped to keep me fit and healthy.
To get even close to being like eco-friendly Vauban, Americans will need to absolutely change the way they live. Commuting (乘车上下班) patterns will have to change, public transport will have to be invested in, etc. And though ending our love affair with the car will be impossible during my lifetime, we may at least start to see more Vauban-like areas in the USA.
We can hope that Americans will consider using their feet more to get around, cutting down on pollution, and giving themselves some more exercise.
12. Why don’t over 80% of the residents in Vauban own a car?
A.The streets there are very narrow. B. They don’t have private parking spots.
C.The government limits the number of cars. D. They are too poor to buy cars.
13. How does the author feel about not owning a car?
A. Angry. B. proud. C. Great. D. Regretful.
14. What should be done to build a utopia-like Vauban in the USA?
A. Throwing away the cars. B. Forbidding using the cars.
C. Producing more electric cars. D. Improving public transportation.
15. What is the purpose of the text?
A. To warn Americans not to use cars any more.
B. To introduce the eco-friendly Vauban to Americans.
C. To call on Americans to build more eco-friendly cities in the USA.
D. To compare the differences between Vauban and cities in the USA.
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。
Your homework habits might be affecting your grades. 16 However, you can change the way you feel by taking better care of your mind and your body.
Use a planner.
Do you know that poor organization skills can reduce your final scores by a whole letter grade? 17 Who can afford to score a big fat “0” on a paper, just because we get lazy and don’t pay attention to the due date? Nobody wants to get an “F” because of forgetfulness.
Communicate with parents.
It sounds simple enough, but students don’t always realize how much parents can stress out about this. 18 Whenever parents see a small sign of potential failure, they may be afraid of its potential to become a big failure.
19
Studies show that teens’ natural sleep patterns are different from those of adults. This often causes them to have trouble going to sleep at night, and have trouble waking up in the mornings. You can avoid some of the problems by changing some of your night time habits.
Improve your memory.
A great way to improve homework habits is to improve your memory with brain exercise. 20 Ancient accounts show that early Greek orators used the “loci” method of remembering long speeches. You may be able to use this method to enhance your memory at test time.
A. Get the sleep that you need.
B. Parents are concerned about your success.
C. Never sleep later than your parents at night.
D. There are many ideas about improving memories.
E. You may feel bored when it comes to homework time.
F. Students often do their homework late at night every day.
G. That’s why you should learn how to use a day planner the right way.

Last week our class has a heated discussion on Earth Hour. Different students hold different opinion about this activity. About 60% of the students are in favor of it. Which is known to us all, global warming is a big problem in the world. Earth Hour can raise people’s awareness of global warming. However, turning off lights for an hour is energy-saving. Only through our joint efforts can we make it our earth a better place to live. However, about 40% of the students say this activity is not very meaningful. They think it is only a show or that it makes no difference. What’s more, turning off lights for an hour may cause inconvenient to people’s life, work and study. In our opinion, this activity is of great importance. But one activity alone is not enough if we want to save energy and protecting our earth. Let’s act through our day-to-day habits.

第三节 书面表达（满分25分）
How to Communicate with Our Parents
Hello, everyone! I’d like to share my ideas about the topic of communicating with our parents.
Parents are the people who are most concerned about us, so it’s necessary for us to establish a good relationship with them. Here are my ideas on how to make it easier to communicate with parents.
First of all, we should respect and trust our parents. Don’t come into conflict with them even if they have misunderstood you. They have experienced more and always try their best to protect us from dangers. Second, if we often share with them our life and experiences, we will know each other better. What’s more, we can often tell our parents how much we love them. If sometimes we don’t agree with our parents’ decisions, we should try to put ourselves into their shoes. Keep in mind that what they really want is only the best for us.
Thank you for listening.
