Fern pushed a chair out of the way and ran outdoors. The grass was wet and the earth smelled of spring time. Fern's shoes were wet by the time she caught up with her father.
“Please don't kill it!” she cried. “It's unfair.”
Mr. Arable stopped walking. “Fern,”he said gently, “you will have to learn to control yourself.”
“Control myself?”shouted Fern. “This is a matter of life and death, and you talk about controlling myself.” Tears ran down her cheeks and she took hold of the ax and tried to pull it out of her father's hand.
“Fern,” said Mr. Arable, “I know more about raising a litter of pigs than you do. A weakling makes trouble. Now run along!”
“But it's unfair,” cried Fern. “The pig couldn't help being born small, could it? If I had been very small at birth, would you have killed me?”
Mr. Arable smiled. “Certainly not,” he said, looking down at his daughter with love. “But this is different. A little girl is one thing, a little runty pig is another.”
“I see no difference,” replied Fern, still hanging on to the ax. “This is the most terrible case of murderer I have ever heard of.”
A strange look came over John Arable's face. He seemed almost ready to cry himself. “All right,” he said.” You go back to the house and I will bring the runt(发育不全的矮小动物) when I come in. I'll let you start it on a bottle, like a baby. Then you'll see what trouble a pig can be.”

“The two nurses who put private locks on public-use bikes disturbed the public order,” said Liu Lin, a lawyer at Beijing Shuangli Law Firm, because it prevented other people from using the bikes.
Those who intentionally damage property(故意破坏财产) may face a 5-day administrative detention(行政拘留), according to the Law on Public Security Administration Punishments.
Tang Ke from the publicity office of OFO, the
company that owns the bikes, confirmed the news and
said further investigation(调查) was underway.
The market for public-use bikes, which are stored
along sidewalks and can be used through an app, has
developed in China since the middle of last year. The
new mode of transportation has brought a greener and
more convenient mode of city transportation, but the mode has also caused many problems including illegal(非法的) parking, theft and vandalism(故意破坏). Parking violations(违规) are
also a common problem, followed by violation of traffic rules.
“Once users scan the app and click 'accept' when they rent the bike, they have signed an agreement with the service provider and should follow the rules.” Liu said.
OFO has introduced a blacklist stopping users who break its rules.
Many cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen are preparing some laws to manage the market for public bikes. The Shenzhen traffic police department has also announced fines for the illegal parking of bikes.
31. Which of the following about two nurses is NOT true?
A. They put private locks on public bikes.
B. What they did disturbed the public order.
C. They faced a 5-day administrative detention.
D. What they did prevented others from using the bikes.
32. Using public bikes has caused many problems EXCEPT ___________.
A. renting through an app
B. stealing
C. breaking traffic rules
D. illegal parking
33. Why does OFO introduce a blacklist?
A. To allow someone to park the bike anywhere.
B. To stop someone in black from using the OFO bike.
C. To let people ride the OFO bike more safely during the night.
D. To stop someone who breaks its rules from using the OFO bike again.
34. In Shenzhen, if you park the public bikes in some wrong places, ___________.
A. you will be on the blacklist
B. you will be fined because of it
C. y ou can’t use public bikes any more
D. you will face a 5-day administrative detention
35. The best title of the passage might be __________.
A. The Service of Public Bikes
B. The Market for Public Bikes
C. The Importance of Public Bikes
D. The Problems in Using Public Bikes
D
Can dogs and cats live in peace in the same home? People who are thinking about keeping a dog as a friend for their cat are worried that they will fight. A recent study has found a new method to success. According to the study, if the cat is raised before the dog, and if they are introduced when still young (less than 6 months for cats, a year for dogs), it is highly possible that the two pets will get along peacefully.
However, it wasn’t all sweetness and light. There was a reported coldness between the cat and dog in 25% of the homes, while aggression(攻击) and fighting were noticed in 10% of the homes. One reason for this is probably that some of their body signals are just opposite. For example, when a cat turns its head away, it means aggression, while a dog doing the same means
kindness.
In homes with cats and dogs living peacefully, researchers found some surprising behavior —they are learning how to talk each other’s language. It is a surprise that cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.
What’s interesting is that bot h cats and dogs have appeared to develop their intelligence(智力). They can learn to read each other’s body signals, suggesting that the two may have more in common than what was thought before. Once familiar with each other’s presence and body language, cats and dogs can play together, greet each other nose to nose, and enjoy sleeping together on the sofa. They can easily share the same water bowl and in some cases have fun playing together.
The significance(意义) of this research on cats and dogs may go beyond pets—it may apply to people who don’t get along, includin g neighbours, workmates, and even world superpowers. If cats and dogs can learn to get along, surely people have a good chance.
36. In which condition is it possible that the two pets will get along peacefully in the same home?
A. The cat is adopted at 5 months and the dog is adopted at 1 year.
B. The dog is adopted at 5 months and the cat is adopted at 1 year.
C. The cat and the dog are adopted at the same time when they are 1 year old.
D. The cat is adopted one year after the dog is adopted by the same family.
37. Some cats and dogs may fight when _________.
A. they look away from each other
B. they are introduced at an early age
C. they don’t like each other and shout
D. they misunderstand each other’s signals
38. What is found surprising about cats and dogs?
A. They are able to eat and sleep together.
B. They learn to speak each other’s language.
C. They don’t fight with each other any longer.
D. They know something from each other’s voice.
39. It is suggested in Paragraph 4 that cats and dogs _________.
A. have many things in common
B. eat common food
C. have a common body language
D. have common interests
40. What is the significance of this research on cats and dogs?
A. More dogs and cats can learn to live together peacefully.
B. Cats can learn how to talk “dog”, and dogs can learn how to talk “cat”.
C. People who don’t get along can have a good chance to change themselves.
D. They can develop their intelligence and learn to read each other’s body signals.

注意：每个空格只填一．个．单词。
The hardest thing in the world is saying yes to the world. Do you say yes to the world? Most of us have a habit of going through our days saying no to the things we don’t like and yes to the
things we like, and yet, everything we face is our life. We won’t say yes to the things we do not like, because we are afraid that we will not remove them forever.
But in fact, it is only through accepting the existence(存在) of what’s not working for us that we can begin the process(过程) of change. When we say yes to the world, we begin to believe that whatever our situation is, we can work with it. We express belief in ourselves, and the world, and we also express a willingness to learn from whatever happens to us, rather than running and hiding when we don’t like what we see. Therefore, in one word, saying yes is really good for our life.
The question we might ask ourselves is what it will take to get to the point of saying yes. For some of us, it takes dealing with something we can’t run away from or refuse, and so we have no choice but to say yes. For others, they might make a decision to say yes to life no matter what happens to them. Saying yes to life might be difficult at first, and even painful at times, but if we continue to say yes to life, it will be far less difficult in the end. And we will find the joy of being in a positive(积极的) talk to the world with a very powerful word ‘yes’. We should accept everything life puts in front of us.
Title Talk to the World with a 56

For thousands of years, poetry(诗歌) has been the favorite type of literature for many people in China. Chinese poetry is just l 66 the greatest treasure in our culture’s house.
There were many famous poets from di?erent periods of time in Chinese h 67 , and thousands of their poems are still read and appreciated today. To r 68 people of those classical Chinese poems and to promote cultural heritage(遗产), China
Central Television (CCTV) has produced a TV show – Chinese
Poetry Competition. B 69 of it, more and more people have

Poetry (诗经), the e 71 collection of poems in China: “In
July, the crickets are in the field; In August, they are in the yard; In S 72 they are at the door; In October, the crickets enter and crawl under our beds.”
“I r 73 admire her knowledge of poems,” said Huang Zijin, 16, a senior 2 student from Ningbo High School in Zhejiang province. “The first time I saw her w 74 traditional Han clothing on TV, I was very impressed by her classical looks.

One possible version:
Dear Tom,
It’s a pity that British pupils were 3 years behind Chinese in Maths. I think Maths is of great importance to us and we must try to study it well.
In fact, learning Maths well is not so difficult. First, listen to your teacher carefully and take notes in class. This is the most important for you. Then, you’d better do some exercises to practice sums in your spare time. Last, believe yourself. If you keep trying, nothing is impossible. Of course, you’ll face some difficulties. Don’t worry! Surely your teacher and classmates can give you a helping hand.
Follow these steps, you’ll love Maths and finally be good at it.
Best wishes
Lin Tao
