Everyone who chooses not to take the final exam will get a ‘B’ for the course.” Most of the students jumped out of their seats. They thanked the teacher happily, and walked out of the classroom. Only a few students stayed. The teacher looked at them. “This is your last chance,” he said. “Does anyone else want to leave?” All the students there stayed in their seats and took out their pencils.

The children would answer like they did below. “When my grandmother hurt her knees (膝盖), she couldn’t bent (弯腰) over and paint her toenails (脚指甲) any more. So my grandfather does it for her all the time, even when his hands hurt too. That’s love.” Rebecca–age 8 “Love is when someone hurts you. And you get so mad but you don’t shout at them because you know it would hurt her feelings.” Samantha–age 6 “Love is what makes you smile when you’re tired.” Terri–age 4 “I let my big sister pick on (捉弄) me because my mum says she only picks on me because she loves me. So I pick on my baby sister because I love her.” Bethany–age 4 “I know my older sister loves me because she gives me all her old clothes and has to go out and buy new clothes.” Lauren–age 4 “Love is when Mommy gives Daddy the best piece of chicken.” Elaine–age 5 “My mommy loves me more than anybody.

It’s different for everyone, but the pain is often sharp (严重). If the break is small, however, the person may not feel much pain at all. If you think that you or someone else has broken a bone, the most important things to do are to stay calm, make the hurt person comfortable, and call the doctor. Do not move the injured body part since movement could make it worse. To treat the break, the doctor will need to take an X-ray. This gives the doctor the information he or she needs to set (接上) the bone: to put it back to its normal place. If the bone is large or it is broken in more than one place, the doctor may need to use metal pins (钢钉) to set it. After the bone has been set, the next step is usually putting on a cast, the special, hard thing that will keep the bone in place for a month or two. Your bones are excellent at healing themselves. Broken bones will produce many new cells (细胞) and tiny blood vessels (血脉). These cover both ends of the broken part, and close up the break until the bone is as whole and strong as before. 61. Which of the following is the best title for the passage? A. How to Know if a Bone is Broken B. How Broken Bones Heal Themselves C. Common Causes (原因) of Broken Bones D. What You Should Know about Broken Bones 62. When someone breaks his bone, the following should be done except ______. A. asking the doctor for help B. comforting the hurt person C. moving the injured part D. staying calm 63. Which is the correct order to treat the break? a. take an x-ray b. use metal pins to set it c. put it back to its normal place d. put on cast A. a→b→c→d B. a→c→b→d C. a→d→c→b D. d→a→b→c 64. The underlined word “heal” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to “______”. A. break again B. become worse C. wound or hurt D. become healthy again 65. Where would you probably read this passage? A. In a story book. B. On a poster. C. In a health care book. D. In a chemistry book.

It is a very good manner. You should say “Thank you” (77) others help you or say something kind to you. For example: when someone (78) the door for you, when someone says you have done your work well, when someone says you have (79) a nice shirt, or your city (80) very beautiful, you should say “Thank you”. “Thank you” is used not only between friends, (81) between parents and children, brothers and sisters, husbands and wives. “Excuse me” is (82) short polite usage. We use it as the same as “Thank you”. When you hear someone say so behind you, you’d got to know that somebody wants to walk past you without (83) you. It is not polite to interrupt (打断) others while they are (84). If you want to have a word with one of them, please say “Excuse me” (85), and then begin to talk. You should also do so when you want to cough or make any unpleasant noise before others. Let’s say “Thank you” and “Excuse me” on the right occasion. 得 分 评卷人 第二节 任务型阅读（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 阅读下面的短文，并完成短文后的任务。 Draw a giraffe in your mind. How did you draw your giraffe? Does it have a long neck? Does it have long legs? Is it really tall? When people think of giraffes, they think of their long necks. A long neck and four long legs make the giraffe the tallest land animal on earth. A giraffe is 1.8m tall when it is born, and some giraffes get up to 6m tall when they are all grown up. But did you know that giraffes also have long tongues? Have you seen the tongue of a giraffe before? A giraffe has a very long tongue which can hold and wrap (包) around objects. The tongue is designed for feeding, but it can be used in many different ways. For example, a giraffe can close its nose with its long tongue completely to keep out sand and dust. Also, a giraffe’s tongue is long enough to clean its owner’s ears as well! The tongue is black in colour to protect it from getting sunburnt (晒 伤). It is nearly 56cm long. Giraffe only eat plants, and a full grown giraffe can eat 33kg of leaves a day. When giraffes look for some tall trees to eat, they sometimes fight with elephants for food. Giraffes use their tongue to eat leaves from some tall trees. The giraffe’s tongue is a helpful tool for reaching leaves and breaking off branches. 任务一：根据短文内容回答下列问题。(注意：每题答案不超过 10 个单词) 86.
