No card or 21 came with it. Calls to the 22 were always in vainit was
13、 a cash purchase. After a while I stopped trying to discover the senders 23 and just delighted in the beauty and perfume of that magical, perfect white flower.

23、短文，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项。 A The brown widow spider became established in Southern California in early 2000 and has become part of the local spider family in urban Los Angeles and San Diego. The brown widow spider is continuing its expansion in Southern California and could possibly move northwar
24、d into central California.The brown widow is suspected to have evolved in Africa although it was first described from South America, which adds confusion as to where it might have originated. It is a tropical and subtropical spider having established populations in Hawaii, Florida, parts of Australi
25、a, South Africa and Japan. In North America, the brown widow spider was restricted for many decades to the Florida peninsula. However, around the year 2000, it started showing up in other Gulf Coast states. Brown widows are now known from Texas to Georgia and South Carolina.The brown widow builds it
26、s web in protected sites around homes and in woody vegetation with branches. Some typical sites selected by brown widows for web building are empty containers such as buckets and nursery pots, mail boxes, entry way corners, under caves, storage closets and garages, undercarriages of motor vehicles t
27、hat are stationary for long periods, and the undersides of outdoor furniture. They choose places that are more exposed than sites chosen by black widows and therefore, appear to be at higher risk for interactions with humans as far as bites are concerned.One recent study demonstrates that the brown
28、widow spider is less poisonous than other widow species. The reason for the weaker effect of brown widow bites on humans is possibly because the brown widow does not have much poison as its large relatives, but it is really a threat to humans as to its poison. The two major symptoms of a brown widow
29、 bite are that the bite hurt when it is given and it leaves a red mark. These two symptoms are not much different from the bite of normal household spiders.There is no specific information regarding the control of brown widows by farm chemicals. Most current advice is what is used for controlling sp
30、iders in general. Therefore, most commercially available farm chemicals should work on brown widows. Avoiding a mess of the house and the garage should reduce nest sites for them. Also, one should store garage items in plastic bags where there might be interactions with spiders. These items include
31、rarely worn garments such as gardening clothes and gloves, recreational items like sports equipment (i.e. ,baseball gloves) and other items where spiders can crawl up into holes where fingers can be inserted.41. The author wrote this article to _.A. announce the result of a research on spidersB. int
32、roduce the ways to get rid of the spidersC. report a new finding of the widow speciesD. warn readers against the brown widow42. From the passage we can conclude that _.A. brown widows are possibly spreading northwardB. brown widows originated from AfricaC. brown widows now can be found in all countr
33、iesD. there used to be no brown widows in North America43. The third paragraph is mainly about _.A. the brown widows web building B. the characteristics of the brown widowsC. the habitat preferences of the brown widowsD. the brown widows threat to human beings44. It can be inferred that _.A. brown w
34、idows can be killed with any farm chemicals B. at present people can only control brown widow spidersC. the brown widow has more poison than the black widowD. victims bitten by the brown widow neednt see the doctor B At Blossom End Railroad Station, 22-year-old Stanley Vine sat, waiting for his new
35、employer. The surrounding green fields were so unlike the muddy landscape of war-torn France. After four horrible years as an army private fighting in Europe, Stanley had returned to England in February 1946. Armed now with some savings and with no prospects for a job in England, he answered a newsp
36、aper ad for farm help in Canada. Two months later he was on his way.When the old car rumbled toward the tiny station, Stanley rose to his feet, trying to make the most of his five foot and four inches frame. The farmer, Alphonse Lapine, shook his head and complained, “Youre a skinny thing.” On the w
37、ay to his dairy farm, Alphonse explained that he had a wife and seven kids. “Money is tight. Youll get room and board. Youll get up at dawn for milking, and then help me around the farm until evening milking time again. Ten dollars a week. Sundays off.” Stanley nodded. He had never been on a farm be
38、fore, but he took the job.From the beginning Stanley was treated horribly by the whole family. They made fun of the way he dressed and talked. He could do nothing right. The humourless farmer frequently lost his temper, criticizing Stanley for the slightest mistake. The oldest son, 13-year-old Arman
39、d, constantly played nasty tricks on him. But the kind-hearted Stanley never responded.Stanley never became part of the Lapine family. After work, they ignored him. He spend his nights alone in a tiny bedroom. However, each evening before retiring, he lovingly cared for the farmers horses, eagerly a
40、waiting him at the field gate. He called them his gentle giants. On Saturday nights he hitch-hiked into the nearest town and wandered the streets or enjoyed a restaurant meal before returning to the farm.Early one November morning Alphonse Lapine discovered that Stanley had disappeared, after only s
41、ix months as his farmhand. The railway station master, when questioned later that week, said he had not seen him. In fact no one in the community ever heard of him again. That is, until one evening, almost 20 years later, when Armand, opened an American sports magazine and came across a shocking hea
42、dline, “Millionaire jockey, Stanley Vine, ex-British soldier and 5-time horse riding champion, began life in North America as a farmhand in Canada.”45. Stanley Vine decided to go to Canada because _.A. he wanted to escape from war-torn France B. he wanted to serve in the Canadian armyC. he couldnt f
43、ind a job in EnglandD. he loved working as a farmhand46. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. Stanley joined the French army when he was 18 years old. B. On the farm Stanley had to milk the cows 14 times a week.C. The Lapine family were rich but cruel to Stanley.D. Stanely read
44、 about the job offer in a newspaper.47. What can we infer from the passage?A. When he first met his employer, Stanley tried to impress him but failed. B. Stanley had never worked on a farm, so he made a lot of mistakes.C. Stanleys weekly salary was not enough for him to live on.D. Stanley left the f
45、arm by train, without telling anyone why he did so.48. What did Stanley like doing after work each day?A. Hitch-hiking to different towns. B. Caring for the farmers horses.C. Wandering around the farm alone. D. Preparing meals on the farm.49. Why was Armand so astonished when he read about Stanley i
46、n the magazine?A. He didnt know Stanley had been a British soldier. B. He had no idea Stanley had always been a wealthy man.C. He didnt know his father paid Stanley so little money.D. He didnt expect Stanley to become such a success. COne of the main challenges facing many countries is how to mainta
47、in their identity in the face of globalization and the growing multi-language trend. “One of the main reasons for economic failure in many African countries is the fact that, with a few important exceptions, mother-tongue education is not practiced in any of the independent African states.” said Nev
48、ille Alexander, Director of the Project for the Study of Alternative Education in South Africa at the University of Cape Town.In response to the spread of English and the increased multi-language trends arising from immigration, many countries have introduced language laws in the last decade. In som
49、e, the use of languages other than the national language is banned in public spaces such as advertising posters. One of the first such legal provisions was the 1994 “Toubon law” in France, and the idea has been copied in many countries since then. Such efforts to govern language use are often consid
50、ered as futile by language experts, who are well aware of the difficulty in controlling fashions in speech and know from research that language switching among bilinguals is a natural process.It is especially difficult for native speakers of English to understand the desire to maintain the “purity”
51、of a language by law. Since the time of Shakespeare, English has continually absorbed foreign words into its own language. English is one of the most mixed and rapidly changing languages in the world, but that has not been a barrier to acquiring superiority and power. Another reason for the failure
52、of many native English speakers to understand the role of the state regulation is that it has never been the Anglo-Saxon way of doing things. English has never had a state-controlled authority for the language, similar, for example, to the Academic Francaise in France.The need to protect national la
53、nguages is, for most western Europeans, a recent phenomenon- especially the need to ensure that English does not unnecessarily take over too many fields. Public communication, education and new ways of communication promoted by technology, may be key fields to defend.50. Neville Alexander believes t
54、hat_. A. mother-tongue education is not practiced in all African countries B.globalization has resulted in the economic failure of Africa C. globalization has led tothe rise of multi-language trend D. lack of mother-tongue education can lead to economic failure51. The underlined word “futile” (in pa
55、ragraph 2)most probably means “ _” . A.workable B. practical C. useless D. unnecessary52. Why do many English-speaking countries not support the language protection efforts describedin the passage?A. They have a long history of taking words from other languages.B. They want their language to spread
56、to other countries. C. They think language protection laws are ineffective.D. It reduces a languages ability to acquire international importance.53. Whatcan we infer from the last paragraph? A. English has taken over fields like public communication and education. B.Many aspects of national culture
57、are threatened by the spread of English. C. Most language experts believe it is important to promote a national language. D. Europeans have long realized the need to protect a national language.54.The best title for the passage is_. A. Fighting against the rule of English B. Protecting local languag
58、es and identitiesC. Globalization and multi-language trendD. To maintain the purity of language by law DReal-life Friends Most people know the saying: A mans best friend is his dog; and that Diamonds are a girls best friend. However, dogs cant offer advice or make you a cup of tea when you need one;
59、 and precious stones are cold comfort when you need a hug, and a shoulder to cry on.What are Friends? There are many ways to describe a friend. Friends are the family you can choose for yourself. Friends are a much better medication（医疗）than medication is, and people who spend time with friends are h
60、appier with their lives as they are less lonely. A good friend will put you to bed when youre lost consciousness. Ensure youre not laid on your back, and remember to remove your shoes. You should be able to tell a true friend anything without being judged by them.How do Friendships Begin? This is an
61、 easy question. Find someone else who has similar interests with you. You now have another person to talk to about your shared interest but remember they like to talk too, so be prepared to shut up and listen once in a while. Hopefully they will have other friends and will introduce you to them, the
62、reby expanding your circle. Friendships which begin due to location, for example, next-door neighbors or school classmates, rarely survive transitions such as moving to other neighborhoods, schools, colleges, jobs, immigration, and so forth. Attend a school reunion and youll wonder what on earth you
63、 ever had in common with these people other than your age, although it is possible to have a friendship with someone you met at school. Mutually maintain it, and eventually become godparent or “uncle” to each others children.How Friendships are Maintained To have a friend you must also be a friend a
64、nd be prepared to be there for them should they need you. Failure in this respect would label you a fair-weather friend and you would most probably be abandoned.Boundaries Like every other relationship you have in your life, there are boundaries you shouldnt cross with your friends. One of those is
65、money: Dont lend to your friend and dont ask for a loan yourself. Friends are unpaid counselors（顾问）,but phoning them at 2 am because youre awake and would like a chat is not a good idea. Neither is phoning them at 10 am if you know theyre a shift-worker. Friends are people who need some space and qu
66、iet time. Generally, it all boils down to mutual respect and understanding. Its not a good plan to interrupt your friend while theyre on a date/on holiday/attending an orchestral recital/at a funeral.Trust Trust is the most vital element in any relationship. If youre not trustworthy then you probabl
67、y dont deserve friends, so try to remember that you promised to see that dull film with them or applaud them at their first attempt at a karaoke or an Open Mic night. If you have promised to look after their clothes while they go for a bet, then make sure you do. You might like to carry enough cash
68、to help them out too, as you never know when that situation might be reversed. Dont lie to your friend: if they know you well theyll know youre lying or will at least be suspicious. If you find out something that you know will hurt your friend, be tactful（圆滑）. Do they need to know? Would they apprec
69、iate knowing? Can you tell their mum so she can break the news? Cowardly, yes, but mums usually have a much better way with words. Remember, if you do decide to tell them and its painful, they will probably need some time alone, after lashing out at（抨击）the closest thingyou. In that case, play the wa
70、iting game. Then dont beat them up about it afterwards.A Friend for Life Strong friendships can last a lifetime with care and consideration. The benefits are multi-folds; youve got someone to share birthday cake with, and especially for single people, a pub meal or a trip to the cinema is no fun alo
71、ne, is it? Plus its always nice to know theres someone there for you, as youre there for them, through the bad times as well as the good. Altogether now: Oh I get by with a little help from my friends. Mm, I get high with a little help from my friends.55. According to the passage we can learn that g
72、ood friends should be _. A. paid counselors B. money lendersC. good listeners D. next-door neighbors56. The author brings in the topic by _. A. giving negative examples B. raising a relative questionC. describing a natural fact D. explaining what friends are57. The underlined phrase “a fair-weather
73、friend” in Para 6 probably refers to a friend who _. A. likes only fine weather B. will always stand by youC. likes to make friends in fine weatherD. will run away from you when you need help badly58. What can be inferred from the passage? A. The more friends you have, the happier you will be.B. Med
74、ication is also a better way to maintain strong friendships.C. You may lose a friend if you are always telling lies to him or her.D. We should only make friends with those having similar interests.59. From the last paragraph we can learn that the author _. A. doubt whether there are true friends and

Dont put unreasonable expectations on yourself either Being A Good Father61._ Research has found that children with emotionally available fathers do much better in school, relate better with teachers and generally have better peer relationships than children whose fathers are mo
78、re emotionally distant.

Let them see

80、e mistakes over and over again.63. _ Mutual respect is very important.

Encourage them to meet their full potential but avoid living vicariously through them by expecting them to achieve what you had achieved or hoped to have achieved.65. _
