13．We spent a day in the country，picking wild flowers．Our car looked like a flower shop inside!On the way home we had to stop at traffic lights，and then my wife noticed the cupboard．It was tall and narrow，and it stood outside a furniture shop．"Buy it，"she said at once"We'll carry it home on the roof rack （行李架）．I've always wanted one like that．"What could I do？Ten minutes later I was $20 poorer，and the cupboard was tied on to the roof rack．The police even stopped traffic to let us through．Carrying furniture was a good idea．
After a time my wife said，"There are a line of cars behind．Why don't they overtake（超车），I wonder？"
In fact a police car did overtake．The two officers inside looked at us seriously as they passed．But then with great kindness，they led us through the rush-hour traffic．The police car stopped at our village church．One of the officers came to me．
I was puzzled．"Thanks，officer，"I said．"You've been very kind．I live just down the road．"
He was staring at our load：first at the flowers，then at the cupboard．"Well，well，"he said，laughing，"It's a cupboard you've got here!We thought it was…er，something else．"
My wife began to laugh．Then the truth hit me like a stone between the eyes．I smiled at the officer．"Yes，it's a cupboard，but thanks again．"I drove home as fast as I could．

21．The writer writes the story in order toD．
A．praise the police officer                B．thank the other drivers
C．show people are kind to each other       D．tell us their funny experience
22．The drivers behind didn't overtake becauseA．
A．they wanted to show their special kindness
B．they were afraid the cupboard would fall down
C．they were admiring the flowers in the writer's car
D．they wondered what was inside the cupboard

14．Some people are like homing pigeons； Drop them off anywhere．and they'll find their way around．Other people．through，can't tell holding a map upside down．Are the directionally challenged just bad learners？
Not all of your navigational（导航的）skills are learned．Research shows that your sense of direction is innate．An innate ability is something you are born with．Your brain has special navigational neurons--head-direction cells，place cells，and grid cells（网格细胞）--and they help program your inside compass when you're just a baby．
In 2010．scientists carried out an experiment to study baby rates'activity in their brains．Although the rats were newborns．the researchers discovered that their head-direction cells（which help them recognize the direction they're facing） were fully grown and developed．The rats．it seemed．were born with a sense of direction．And they hadn't even opened their eyes yet!
Humans．of course，are not rats．But the hippocampus--the brain we use for navigation--is similar in most mammals．If the rat's compass develops this way．then it's likely a human's compass does，too．
If we're born with a sense of direction．then why are some people so good at getting lost？The scientists found that the two other cells---place and grid cells--developed within the first month．Place cells are thought to help us form a map in our mind．while gird cells help us navigate new and unfamiliar places．The two cells work together，and that's where the trouble might be．
People who took part in a 2013study played a video game that required them to travel quickly between different places．Monitoring their brains．the scientists．According to researcher Michael Kahana，differences in how gird cells work may help explain why some people have a better sense of direction than others．

32．What did the 2010 research find？A
A．Rats have a natural ability to recognize directions
B．Rats'hipppcampus is different from that of humans
C．Rats usually find their way without opening their eyes
D．Baby rats have as many head-direction cells as grown-ups
33．What do we know about our navigational neurons？D
A．Place cells let us know how to read a map
B．Grid cells help us reach the place we are going to
C．They help us use a compass when we lose our way
D．Place and grid cells grow later than head-direction cells
34．Why are some people so good at getting lost？B
A．They can't remember landmarks
B．Their grid cells can't work very well
C．They are unfamiliar with new places
D．Their ability to follow directions is poor
35．What is the text mainly about？A
A．Human navigational skills           B．The compass in rats'body
C．Why grid cells are useful           D．How homing pigeons work．
11．In a small village，there lived a potter （陶工） who had a donkey．Every day his donkey would carry soil （61）from the field to his house．As the field was quite far off，the potter forgot （62）to take（take） the rope with which he tied the donkey every day，so he decided to lie down holding the donkey's ears while sleeping．But this way，neither the donkey （63）nor the potter was able to take a good rest．A saint （圣人），（64）who happened to be passing by，saw them．When the potter told the saint （65）what the problem was，the saint said，"Take the donkey to the place where you tie him every day．Pretend to tie him using an imaginary rope．I promise you he won't run away．"The potter did so．
He （66）left（leave） the donkey and went to take a rest．When he woke up，he was （67）surprised （surprise） to find the donkey （68）standing（stand） at the same place．Soon the potter prepared to leave for home．But the donkey did not move．（69）Luckily（lucky），the potter saw the wise saint again and told him about the problem．The saint said，"You tied up the donkey，but did you untie （松开） him？Go and pretend to untie the rope．"The potter followed the saint's advice with （70）pleasure（please）．
Now the donkey was ready to leave for home．The potter went home happily with his donkey．
18．假定你是李华，这周末你参加了一个志愿者活动．请根据下列提示写一封邮件与你的美国朋友Jack分享你的这次经历；

（2）你的收获．
注意：（1）词数100左右；
（2）可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯．
Dear Jack：
I'm writing to share with you my experience at the weekend．（点明书信目的）I took part in a volunteer activity．My duty was to clean a busy street which is about four hundred meters long．After I got up at seven o'clock，sleepy，I went out without a second thought．Cleaning the street seems easy，but sometimes it is very dangerous as you have to be careful of passing cars and bikes．I threw myself onto the bed as soon as I got back home in the afternoon．（记叙活动过程）It was not until then that I realized how great street cleaners are．So I hope everyone should keep our surroudings clean so as to reduce cleaners abandon．All drivers must have an eye on cleaners cleaning the street especially at dawn．（（自己的收获）
What about your weekend？Please tell me in your next email．
Regards，Li Hua．
8．All through history，people from many different countries and cultures have lived together in Britain．The English language （61）consists （consist） of the grammar and vocabulary these people brought to Britain．That is （62）why English has so many difficult rules that confuse people．
The （63）development（develop） of English experienced three periods-Old English，Middle English （64）and Modern English．From the 5th to the 9th centuries，Britain was occupied by different groups from other countries，which led to Old English replacing Celtic．Old English，a mixture of different languages，differs （65）from today's English．Middle English is the name （66）given （give） to the English used from （67）approximately （approximate） the 12th to the 15th centuries．During this period，French，though it didn't replace English，still made many （68）contributions （contribution） to Middle English．This resulted in more words with similar meanings．The words for the meat of these animals which （69）was served （serve） to the Normans，came from Old French．Modern English appeared in the 16th century，which went through many changes during this period．The question of （70）whether English will keep on changing in the future is easy to answer．It is certain that this process will continue．
15．Never take me to a horror film again．I wasscared （恐吓的）to death．

13．Traveler
My fifteen-year-old son has just returned from abroad with rolls of exposed film and a hundred dollars in uncashed traveler's checks，and is asleep at the moment．His blue duffel（粗呢） bag lies on the floor where he dropped it．Obviously，he postponed as much sleep as he could：when he walked in and we hugged，his electrical system suddenly switched off，and he headed directly for the bed，where I imagine he beat his old record of sixteen hours．
It was his first trip overseas，so weeks before it，I pressed travel books on him，and a tape cassette of useful French phrases； drew up a list of people to visit； advised him on clothing and other things．At the luggage store where we went to buy him a suitcase，he headed for the duffels，saying that suitcases were more for old people．
During the trip，he called home three times：from London，Paris，and a village named Ullapool．Near Ullapool，he climbed a mountain in a rainstorm that almost blew him off．In the village，a man spoke to him in Gaelic，and，too polite to interrupt，my son listened to him for ten or fifteen minutes，trying to nod in the right places．The French he learned from the cassette didn't hold water in Paris．The French he talked to shrugged and walked on．
When my son called，I sat down at the kitchen table and leaned forward and hung on every word．His voice came through clearly，though two of the calls were like ship-to-shore communication．When I interrupted him with a"Great!"or a"Really？"，I knocked a little hole in his communication．So I just sat and listened．I have never listened to a telephone so attentively and with so much pleasure．It was wonderful to hear news from him that was so new to me．In my book，he was the first man to land on the moon，and I knew that I had no advice to give him and that what I had already given was probably not much help．
The unused checks are certainly evidence of that．Youth travels light．No suitcase，not much luggage and a slim expense account，and yet he went to the scene，and came back safely．I sit here amazed．The night when your child returns with dust on his shoes from a country you've never seen is a night you would gladly turn into a week．

21．During the trip，the author's sonA．
A．didn't have enough sleep B．ran out of money
C．forgot to call his motherD．failed to take good pictures

A．Polite and careless．
B．Considerate and independent．
C．Creative and stubborn．
D．Self-centered and adventurous．
23．What does the underlined word"that"in the last paragraph refer to？D
A．It is important to listen to your child's story．
B．It's easy to interrupt the chat with your child．
C．The author is proud of her son landing on the moon．
D．The son no longer needs much help from his mother．
24．What can we infer from the passage？D
A．Good parents should protect their children from potential dangers．
B．The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page．
C．Communication between parents and children is extremely important．
D．It's a win-win choice to give a child space to experience and explore．
