He then said, “Come before me again tomorrow. I shall then know which of you is the thief because the stick given to the thief will be one inch longer than the others.”
The thief was afraid of being found out, and so he cut an inch off his stick. The next day the thief’s stick was found to be one inch shorter than any of the others. In this way the thief was found out, and was at once taken away to prison.

Years ago, I lived in a building in a large city. The building next door was only a few feet away from mine. There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.
After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn't wash her window. It really looks terrible."
One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.
Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by
her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean!
Then it dawned on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window.
That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcomings?
24. The writer couldn't see everything clearly through the window because_____.
A. the woman's window was dirty B. the writer's window was dirty
C. the woman lived nearby D. the writer was near-sighted
25. The writer was surprised that_____.
A. the woman was sitting by her window B. the woman's window was clean
C. the woman did cleaning in the afternoon D. the woman's window was still terrible
26. The underlined sentence "It dawned on me" probably means "____".
A. I began to understand it B. it cheered me up
C. I knew it grew light D. it began to get dark
27. From the passage, we can learn ______.
A. one shouldn't criticize others very often
B. one should often make his windows clean
C. one must judge himself before he judges others
D. one must look at others through his dirty windows
C
When I was a child, I often dreamed of the time when I could leave home and escape to the city. We lived on a farm, in the winter especially, we were quite cut off from the outside world. As soon as I left school, I packed my bags and moved to the capital. However, I soon discovered that my life has its problems too.
One big disadvantage is money. It costs so much to go out, not to mention basics like food and housing. Another disadvantage is pollution. I suffer from asthma(哮喘), and at times the air is so bad that I am afraid to go outside. Then there is the problem of traveling round. Although I have a car, I seldom use it because of the traffic jams. One choice is to go by bicycle, but that can be quite dangerous.
Of course there are advantages. First, there is so much to do in the city, whatever you tastes in culture or entertainment(娱乐活动). Besides, there are wonderful jobs and greater chances of moving to a more important job or position. Finally, if you like shopping, the variety of goods is very surprising --- and , what is more, shops are often only a short walk away.
Is life better then, in the city? Perhaps it is , when you are in your teens(十几岁)or twenties. However, as you get older, and especially if you have small children, the peace of the countryside may seem preferable. I certainly hope to move back there soon.
28.What was the writer always thinking about when he was a child?
A.Staying on the farm. B.Moving to the countryside.
C.Leaving home for the city. D.Running away from the school.
29.What can we learn from the text?
A.He is very old now. B.He is in good health.
C.He prefers driving a car. D.He lives in the city now.
30.In the passage, the writer tries to __________.
A.express his opinions about way of life B.describe his life in the countryside
C.an interest in the outside world D.persuade the reader to live in the city
31.How is the passage mainly developed?
A.By questioning. B.By comparing.
C.By listing examples. D.By giving explanations.

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。
36
Today,kids have more worries and face more pressures than ever before. Here are a few tips to help your child focus on and do well in school.
●Create a personal schedule
Recording everything that must be done on a calendar or “to do” list will help him to keep track of important dates and deadlines. If he keeps it in a visible place he will have no problem acknowledging upcoming events and will be better able to plan how and where to spend his time.
●Watch the clock
37 I also recommend setting his clock or watch five minutes ahead since it's always easy to run late. When it comes to something like catching a bus,just five minutes can make a significant difference.
●Focus
He should train himself to be able to concentrate alone on one specific task. This is much easier in a noise-free environment. No TV or radio should be on to distract him.
● 38
Lack of sleep is proven to harm us physically. The more sleep we get,the more alert we are. We thus have more energy to handle life's daily tasks. The average adult needs at least six hours of sleep a night and the average child needs at least eight.
●Stay in shape
Through spending time outdoors or playing sports with friends,he can “blow off some steam” so to speak,as well as re-energize. 39
●Talk through your problems
Be able to share his concerns with you. 40 If you make it clear that you understand him and are willing to help,not only will you contribute to his emotional health but you'll help build an open and honest relationship as well.
A.Sharing feelings often makes them easier to deal with.
B.Help your child work better to realize his aim.
C.Setting an alarm for the morning is a must.
D.Get enough sleep.
E.Help your child do better in school.
F.Encourage your child to be positive.
G.Encourage him to get outside.
III.完型填空 (共20小题;每小题1.5分, 满分30分)
Pressure means that people are expecting a lot of you. It also means that you sometimes have to do a lot of things in a 41 period of time. Pressure seems to be a 42 of modern life; everyone feels it.

The worst way to handle “negative” pressure is to keep 55 ; it will only make things 56 .
Your attitude has a lot to do with how you 57 pressure. When faced with a problem, try to look at it as a challenge 58 an annoyance (烦恼).

Your letter reached me yesterday. It said in your letter that you were punished using cellphones, which puzzled you. There is no doubt that cellphones can bring us much convenience. We can keep in touch with friends and families wherever they are. Besides, the cellphone is a way to fun.
However, there are some problems with using cellphones. The ring of phones can disturb teachers and students in the class. It has been proved that often using cellphones does harm to health. Another problem is that some students can spend too much time and money on cellphones and sending messages, which will result in bad results in study.
As a student, he should concentrate on study. It is right for school to prevent you from using cellphones.
