1．It's wise that students sometimes step out of the classroom-after all，they can learn  a lot from the world we see outside the school windows．Let's take a look at what some teenagers got up to recently when they took a break from their textbooks．
Lu Runqiu，17，Shanghai No.3Girls School
Earlier this month our class had a week away from the campus to work in a field in the suburbs （郊区）．We learned how local farmers grow their vegetables and prepare watermelon plants so they will survive the winter．We helped the farmers harvest cotton and soybeans and weed the field．But in the evenings we couldn't just fall into our beds and talk away the time till sleep．We had the mid-term exams to think about-we would sit them just five days after we left the farmers．
However，to tell the truth I would really like to go back．I really miss-the food-the potatoes，tomatoes，cabbages，come and eggs are delicious，much better than anythin8； we can get in the city!All in all，I'd say it was a great experience．
Luo Sai，16，No．I High School Attached to Central Chin a Normal University in Wuhan  Imagine having to walk for five hours!But that's exactly what we did two weeks ago for our out-of-school experience．At the beginning，we were laughing and talking all the time，so excited were we．But we soon learned we needed strength to keep going，and singing"Unity Is Strength"really helped with that．We walked for 22km，stopping just a handful of times before we reached the military center．In the end our feet were swollen（肿胀的）．We had had little experience walking such a distance，but I think the day taught us something：how important it is to presevere!We sweated，but we grew
15．Which of the following can be the best title for the text？A

18．A poor shepherd，whose name was Tony Barbara，lived in Scotland．It was his business to take care of the sheep which belonged to a rich landholder（地主）．Sometimes he had several hundreds of lambs to look after．He drove these lambs to the pastures（牧场） on the hills and watched them day after day．
He had a dog which he called Hugo．This dog helped him watch the sheep．He would drive them from place to place as his master wished．
One dark night Tony Barbara was on the hill with a flock of seven hundred lambs．Hugo was with him．Suddenly a storm came up．The wind blew hard； the rain poured heavily．
The poor lambs were frightened．The shepherd and his dog could not keep them together．Some of them ran towards the east，some towards the west，and some towards the south．
The shepherd soon lost sight of them in the darkness．With his lighted lantern in his hand，he went up and down the rough hills calling for his lambs．
Two or three other shepherds joined him in the search．All night long they looked for the lambs．At last Tony Barbara said，"It's of no use； all we can do is go home and tell the master that we have lost his whole flock（群）．"
They had walked a mile or two towards home，when they came to the edge of a narrow and deep valley．They looked down，and at the bottom they saw some lambs huddling（挤作一团） together among the rocks．And there was Hugo standing guard over them．They counted them and were surprised to find that not one lamb of the great flock of seven hundred was missing．
54．The underlined word"He"in Paragraph 2probably refers toA．
A．Hugo    
B．Tony Barbara
C．one of the sheep 
D．the rich landholder
55．What happened suddenly one night？D
A．Tony Barbara lost his way
B．Tony Barbara met his close friends
C．Hugo left Tony Barbara alone

56．Tony Barbara decided to go back home probably because he thoughtC
A．his dog had brought the sheep back home
B．all the sheep must be safe with his dog
C．it was impossible for him to find the sheep
D．his dog was taking care of the sheep for him
57．When Tony Barbara saw all the sheep in the valley，he feltB
A．worried
B．thankful
C．pessimistic   
D．disappointed．
5．Are you an optimist？Do you look at your glass and see it as half full？Do you believe that every cloud has a silver lining and that things generally turn out for the best？Do you believe that if something is meant to be，it will be？If you reply"yes"to all of these questions，then you are an optimist．You probably are enthusiastic，cheerful and outgoing．You may be successful at work and in love．
But you may be misguided because things don't turn out for the best．You may believe that when one door closes another one opens （for example，you may fail to obtain a new job； another chance will come around soon）．Wrong．When one door closes，another door slams （砰然关上） in your face．That's bitter reality．
Now a book has been published which confirms what pessimists （悲观者） have suspected all along．It's called The Positive Power of Defensive Pessimism．Its author argues that defensive pessimism can lead to positive results．Defensive pessimism is a strategy used to manage fear，anxiety and worry．Defensive pessimists prepare for the things by setting low outcomes for themselves．They carefully consider everything that may go wrong and plan for ways to handle these problems．And this gives them a sense of control．Lawrence Sanno，a psychology professor，says，"What's interesting about defensive pessimists is that they tend to be very successful people，so their low opinion of the situation's outcomes is not realistic．They use it to motivate themselves to perform better．"
So far，so good．This is not rocket science．Defensive pessimists prepare carefully and consider what might go wrong，whether at work，on date or even in a sports game．It makes sense to have a back-up plan．There are many sayings in English urging caution．For example，"Don't put all your eggs in one basket．"And"Don't count your chickens until they hatch．"To have a confident and optimistic approach to life's problems is good．But listen to what Woody Alien，the American comedian says，"Confidence is what you have before you understand the problem．"
There are pros and cons（利与弊） to being an optimist and a pessimist．Don't feel bad if you see the glass half empty．You are a realist．But lighten up and hook up with someone who sees the same glass half full．

74．What's the passage mainly about？A
A．The benefits of defensive pessimism．
B．A book that has recently been published．
C．The dangers of being too optimistic．
D．How to become successful in life．
75．The underlined sentence"This is not rocket science"（Para.4）meansB．
A．there is no real proof              
B．it is quite simple to understand
C．the cost is not so high  
D．it's not a dangerous thing to do
76．Which of the following English expressions would a defensive pessimist believe？C
A．Whatever will be，will be．
B．The glass is half full not half empty．
C．Don't put all your eggs in one basket．
D．Every cloud has a silver lining．
77．We can infer from the passage that the writer is probablyA．
A．a realist    B．an optimist    C．a defeatist  D．a scientist．
15．Children are always taught not to argue with adults for generations． However，new research shows that young teenagers who are taught to argue（36）Aare more likely to resist peer pressure to use drugs and alcohol later in（37）C．
"It turns out that what goes on in the（38）Bis actually a training ground for teens in terms of how to（39）Dagreements with other people，"said Joseph Allen，the lead author of the study． He added that teens should learn they can be taken（40）Bthough discussions with their parents．

    Allen recommended parents should teach their children how to effectively（51）Dtheir thoughts and emotions during conflicts，which in turn teaches children to stand up to （52）Binfluence outside of the home．（53）Atheir viewpoints don't line up，the teens are going to be able take those skills into other environments． Parents should also teach by examples and（54）Cgood discussion practices for their children．

2．Although cats may be one of the most popular pets today，little is known about how and when humans and cats set up their close relationship．
The earliest evidence for human-cat interaction dates back to prehistoric Cyprus（史前塞浦路斯），where the remains of a wild cat and a human-dated 9，500years old-were found buried together．
A new study in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences has confirmed the first direct evidence of a human-domestic cat relationship among Chinese farmers 5，300years ago．Researchers studied the bones of cats，dogs，deer and other animals unearthed in an excavation （挖掘） near a village in Central China．By using some ways，scientists showed that the cats were living on a mostly millet（黍）-based diet，just like the domesticated dogs and pigs from the site．
"The most reasonable explanation for a high consumption of millet-based food is that the cats had formed a stable and mutual relationship with humans and could easily feed on rodents （啮齿动物） around human villages，find leftover food or even have been fed by people intentionally，"said Hu Yaowu from the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Beijing，whose research focuses on the relationship between humans and domesticated animals．
"It is very interesting for us to find the consumption of millet-based foods by the cats，since this kind of evidence had long been missing．"Hu explains．Since cats usually eat meat，such a diet would be unexpected，unless the cats were being fed by people，the study argues．The researchers also found that one of the cats survived to reach old age，implying that it had a safe place to live and enough to eat．
Why the farmers wanted to keep cats nearby or make them"pets"could be answered by other evidence．Chinese archaeologists found some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents-a vermin （害兽） that cats could certainly have helped with．
The simplified theory is that rats were attracted to the food of farmers，and so were harmful to farmers．Cats were attracted to the rats，and so farmers formed a mutually beneficial relationship with cats，taking care of them in return for pest control．

66．The evidence found in the remains dating back to prehistoric Cyprus meansB．
A．human made cats pets as early as 9，500years ago
B．human interacted with cats very early
C．cats didn't appear until prehistoric Cyprus
D．when cats became domesticated

A．the preventions of pests from grains         
B．the history of Chinese farming
C．the dogs and pigs                        
D．the ways to keep pets

A．Cats didn't feed on meat．
B．The cats consumed large amounts of millet-based foods．
C．One of the cats survived to reach old age．
D．Some storage containers were specifically designed to keep out rodents．
69．What are the reasons for farmers to keep cats？D．
A．Helping keep other domesticated animals
B．Not letting cats eat food．
