Passage 2 We all know that the Chinese words have many different meanings. So is English. If we can’t understand all the meanings of a word, we’ll meet with some embarrassment(尴尬) or even some dangers. Once there were three men who got lost in the forest. They sent one of them to look for food. A few hours later, the man came back with a rabbit in his hand. When the other two asked him how he caught the rabbit, he told them to follow its tracks. A week later, the second man set off for food and caught a deer. He also caught the deer by following its tracks. Another week later, it was the third man’s turn to look for food. He thought it was a piece of cake and decided to catch a wild ox! He set off confidently. But quite a few hours passed, the man didn’t come back. Finally, he came back with wounds( 伤 ) all over his body. When they asked him what happened, he said, “I also found tracks and followed the tracks, but I was hit(撞) by train”. On hearing these words, the other two men laughed loudly. What the third man suffered（遭受） is because he didn’t know the different meanings of the word “track”. One of them means the footprint of the animal. The other means railway where the train runs on. ( ) 29. What can we learn from the first paragraph? A. Learning English is as easy as learning Chinese.

I could tell he was cycling a little slower than me and decides to catch up with him. I had about 1 kilometer to go on the road before turning off. So I started cycling faster and faster. After a few minutes I was only about 100 meters behind him, so I really picked up the pace(步调) and pushed myself. Finally, I caught up with him and passed him by. I felt so good. “I win,” I thought. “Even though(即使) he didn’t even know we were racing(比赛).” However, after I passed him, I realized that I had been so focused on( 集 中 注 意 力 于 ) competing against him that I had missed my turn. I had gone nearly six blocks(街区) past it and had to turn around and go back. Isn’t it just like life? We often focus on competing with others, trying to show that we are better than them. We spend our time and energy chasing after them and we miss out on our own paths in life. The problem with unhealthy competition is that it’s a never-ending cycling. There will always be somebody ahead of you. So stay focused and live a healthy life. Run your own race and wish others well. ( )33.The writer decided to ______ when he noticed a man in front of him.

VI．阅读理解（二）（本题共 6 小题，每小题 2 分，共 12 分） 阅读下面短文，根据短文内容，回答下列问题。 Passage 5 This is a true story. Once there was a father who bought a new car. When he came to see his new car, he saw his three-year-old son happily scraping(刮) the bright paint of the car with a sharp knife. He was very angry. Then he ran to his son and drove him away at once. The boy was so scared that he ran away as fast as he could. Unluckily, the boy fell down and hurt his right hand seriously with the knife sticking( 刺 入 ) into his fingers( 手 指 ). The father rushed his son to the hospital immediately. Although the doctor tried hard to save the boy’s fingers, he finally had to cut them off. When the boy woke up from the operation(手术), he said, “Daddy, I’m sorry about your car.” Then he asked, “But when are my fingers going to grow back?” On hearing these words, the father began crying sadly with his head down. His car can be repaired, but his son’s fingers will never grow back. Think about this story the next time someone makes you angry before you break out. Think first before you lose your patience with someone you love. Cars can be repaired, but broken fingers and hurt feelings can’t. Too often we fail to realize these lessons. We forget that forgiveness(原谅) is greater than revenge(报复). 62.What was the son doing when his father went out? _____________________________________________________________________ 63.
