One day Merlin received an invitation to go to an important party. He was very pleased and a little excited. As the day of the party came near, Merlin began to think. He wanted to find a way to make a wonderful entrance at the party. Merlin had an idea. He thought that he would attract a lot of attention if he could skate into the room.
Merlin tried different ways to make himself roll. Finally, he decided to put two wheels under each shoe. These were the first roller skate shoes. Merlin was very proud of them. He dreamed of arriving at the party and skating into the room while playing the violin. He was sure that everyone would be very surprised.
On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room, playing his violin. Everyone was really surprised to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skating. He rolled on, playing the violin. Then, with all eyes on him, Merlin hit into a huge mirror on the wall. The mirror broke into many pieces with a very loud noise.
Nobody forgot Merlin's wonderful entrance after that.

Frost's Descent: Time to say goodbye to autumn
Oct.23rd is the beginning of Shuangjiang or "Frost's Descent" in English, the 18th of 24 solar terms(节气) in the Chinese lunar calendar. It refers to the time when frost(霜) starts to fall across China, or "the dews(露水) were frozen into frost" because of the coldness, as recorded in ancient Chinese books.
By the time of Shuangjiang, most of the harvesting work is already completed in northern China. But in the south, the harvest is still on. After a year of farming, it is the time to plow the fields and prepare the soil for next year in both south and north.
Autumn might be the most colorful season in China with the leaves turning from golden yellow to red. Hiking has become popular since the ancient times as people can enjoy the special autumnal view. Du Mu, a well-known poet from the Tang Dynasty wrote the beautiful mountainous scenery in a poem: "I stopped the coach as charmed by the maple woods; Frosted autumn leaves outshine February flowers in redness."
"Keeping warm" becomes a most important thing at this time of the year as the weather is getting colder. Persimmon(柿子) is the favored fruit in many areas. The Chinese believe that persimmons could not only keep off the coldness, but strengthen the muscles and bones. Also, chicken or mutton soup is believed to be good for the spleen and advised for the diet.
For most Chinese, it is not necessarily a sad time, even though the autumn has come to an end. In winter, they are able to have a different but equally beautiful scenery.
28.Which of the following statement about Shuangjiang is true according to the text?
A. Farmers in the south of China can enjoy a great rest during the time of Shuangjiang.
B. Shuangjiang is the end of summer and the beginning of autumn.
C. People believe eating persimmons in Shuangjiang can help to get rid of coldness.
D. Shaungjiang is the best time for people who want to lose weight to take exercises.
29. Which season did the poet Du Mu describe in his famous poem?
A. Summer. B.Winter. C.Spring. D. Autumn.
30.What is the main idea of the text?
A. Introduce the traditional solar term Shuangjiang.
B. Tell the differences of the harvest in China’s south and north.
C. Explain why Shuangjiang gets its name.
D. Advise some proper food to eat during Shuangjiang.
第二节：（共5小题，每题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。
To forgive is a virtue(美德), but no one has ever said it is easy. When someone has deeply hurt you, it can be extremely difficult to let go of your hate. However, forgiveness is possible, and it can be surprisingly beneficial to your physical and mental health. People who forgive show less sadness, anger and stress and more hopefulness, according to a recent research.
31 Try the following steps:
Calm yourself. 32 You can take a couple of breaths and think of something that gives you pleasure: a beautiful scene in nature, or someone you love.
Don’t wait for an apology. Many times the persons who hurt you do not intend to apologize. They may have wanted to hurt you or they just don’t see things the same way. 33 Keep in mind that forgiveness does not necessarily mean becoming friends again with the person who upset you.
Take the control away from your offender (冒犯者). Rethinking about your hurt gives power to the person who causes you pain. Instead of piling your sad feelings in your heart, learn to look for the love, beauty and kindness around you.
34 If you understand your offender, you may realize that he or she was acting out of unawareness, fear, and even love. You may want to write a letter to yourself from your offender’s point of view.
Don’t forget to forgive yourself. 35 But it can rob you of your self-confidence if you don’t do it.
A. Why should you forgive?
B. How should you start to forgive?
C. Recognize the benefits of forgiveness.
D. Try to see things from your offender’s angle(角度).
E. For some people, forgiving themselves is the biggest challenge.
F. To make your anger die away, try a simple stress-management technique.
G. If you wait for people to apologize, you could be waiting an awfully long time.
