19．The relationship between humans and animals has always been complex．Some cultures have developed entire belief systems around favored animals．Even in cultures with less formal belief systems，connections between people and animals still lead to commonly accepted opinions about animals．
These belief systems usually develop around the animals that interact （互動(dòng)） with humans most frequently．Therefore，it should not be surprising that so many stories surround the most common of animals：rats．Rats live side by side with humans all over the world and regularly interact with people．Human-rat coexistence may be common all around the world，but different cultures respond to that closeness in different ways．
In the United States and Europe，one typical attitude is that the rat is a pest．This could be due to the common belief that rats spread disease．Actually，they don't，at least not directly，but many people don't know that．The Pied Piper of Hamlin，a well-known children's story，is one example of how rats have been described in Western literature：in that story，rats cause such a problem that a town has to hire a piper to call them all away．
In many Latin American countries，the rat is described in a very different way．The story of the tooth fairy （a fairy believed by children to leave money while they sleep in exchange for a tooth that has come out） is common all over the world，but in Latin America，the"fairy"is a rat!Rats do have very strong teeth，which could explain the association．Clearly，this shows another attitude toward rats that is much more positive．
Yet another attitude toward the rat can be seen in the Chinese Zodiac （生肖）．The Rat is one of the animals of the Zodiac．Like the other zodiac animals，the Rat is neither entirely good nor entirely bad．It's described as clever and friendly，but also tricky and not entirely honest．That may be the most accurate description of the rat so far．Whether you like rats or not，it's hard to deny their reputation for cleverness．
As many people are discovering these days，rats can even make excellent pets，so long as you remember to close the cage carefully!

31．What does the passage mainly talk about？B
A．A trend of keeping rats as pets．
B．How different cultures look at rats．
C．How humans get along with animals．
D．Favored animals in different cultures．

B．rats look very frightening
C．rats are welcome in Latin American countries
D．the story of the tooth fairy is common all over the world
34．According to the author，ratsC．
A．don't spread disease                
B．should be treated as pests
C．a(chǎn)re fairly described in the Chinese Zodiac     
D．a(chǎn)re kept as pets by more and more people

10．閱讀下面短文并回答問(wèn)題，然后將答案寫(xiě)到答題卡相應(yīng)的位置上（請(qǐng)注意問(wèn)題后的詞數(shù)要求）．
[1]The health of our children and young people matters to us，and it matters to them．We should help them understand what makes and keeps them healthy and what to do when they have worries，are not feeling so good，or are simply ill．
[2]While health promotion，the process of enabling people to manage and improve their own health，plays a key role．a(chǎn) key significant and early point of private contact with health services for a teenager is their GP．While GPs continue to improve in terms of their confidence and ability to make a child patient feel comfortable，it is not yet a guaranteed good experience for teenagers-they may not always．while talking to a doctor and some express feeling embarrassed while seeking advice from their GP
[3]Thus，two changes are required  Firstly，better professional development．GPs do have some training in child development but it is not enough After all，learning how to talk to 12-18 year olds，and even more importantly，how to listen to what they have to say and encourage them to speak up； and to be confident that they understand what is said to them before they leave，takes time  Secondly，we can include young people as the"teachers"here to help GPs learn how to interact effectively with their younger patients．GPs would benefit from feedback about their manners，the quality and simplicity of their communication and their way of explaining treatments and next steps-going beyond theory to learning by doing．
[4]In addition．children and young people are those with the time and energy to put into making our communities healthy．As enthusiastic learners，teenagers contribute through voluntary activities far more than adults and are deeply interested in the health services．And in doing so they are able to educate themselves in ways which can change lives．
76．What's the author's purpose of writing this passage？（no more than 15 words ）To give suggestions on how to help children/teenagers improve their health
77．Fill in the blank in Paragraph 2 with proper words．（no more than 3 words）
feel comfortable/be comfortable/be relaxed/take things easy/take it easy
78．What's the meaning of the underlined word"interact"in Paragraph 3？（no more than 3 words）communicate/exchange ideas/have a talk
79．Complete the following statement according to Paragraph 4．（no more than 5 words）Young people can make contributions to the health services byParticipating in/taking part in voluntary activities 
80．Du you think teenagers should participate in the health services？State your reasons．（no more than 20 words）yes，I do．Because health services are important to teenagers and the best way of promotion is learning by doing．

7．People are being lured（引誘） onto Facebook with the promise of a fun，free service，and don't realize that they're paying for it by giving up loads of personal information．Facebook then attempts to make money by selling their data（資料） to advertisers that want to send targeted （目標(biāo)的）messages．
Most Facebook users don't realize this is happening．Even if they know what the company is up to，they still have no idea what they're paying for Facebook，because people don't really know what their personal details are worth．
The biggest problem，however，is that the company keeps changing the rules．Early on，you could keep everything private．That was the great thing about Facebook-you could create your own little private network．Last year，the company changed its privacy rules so that many things-your city，your photo，your friends'names-were set，by default（默認(rèn)），to be shared with everyone on the Internet．
According to Facebook's vice president Elliot Schrage，the company is simply making changes to improve its service，and if people don't share information，they have a"less satisfying experience．"
Some critics think this is more about Facebook looking to make more money．Its original business model，which involved selling ads and putting them at the side of the page，totally failed．Who wants to look at ads when they're online connecting with their friends？
The privacy issue has already landed Facebook in hot water in Washington．In April，Senator Charles Schumer called on Facebook to change its privacy policy．He also urged the Commission to set guidelines for social-networking sites．"I think the senators rightly communicated that we had not been clear about what the new products were and how people could choose to use them or not to use them，"Schrage admits．
I suspect that whatever Facebook has done so far to invade（侵犯）our privacy，it's only the beginning，which is why I'm considering deactivating（撤銷(xiāo)） my account（賬號(hào)）．Facebook is a handy site，but I'm upset by the idea that my information is in the hands of people I don't trust．That is too high a price to pay．
71．What do we learn about Facebook from the first paragraph？C
A．It is a website that sends messages to targeted users．
B．It makes money by putting on advertisements．
C．It earns money by selling its user's personal data
D．It provides a lot of information to its users
72．What does the author say about most Facebook users？B
A．They don't know their personal data enriches Facebook
B．They are unwilling to give up their personal information
C．They don't identify themselves when using website
D．They care very little about their personal information
73．Why does Facebook make changes to its rules according to Elliot Schrage？A
A．To help its users make more friends
B．To obey the Federal guidelines
C．To make money by attracting more users
D．To offer better service to its users
74．What does Senator Charles Schumer argue for？C
A．Setting guidelines for advertising on websites
B．Setting rules for social-networking sites
C．Stopping sharing user's personal information
D．Removing ads from all social-networking sites
75．Why does the author plan to stop using his Facebook account？C
A．He is dissatisfied with its service．
B．He finds many of its users untrustworthy．
C．He doesn't want his personal data badly used．
D．He is upset by its frequent rule changes．

4．After commuting，cooking dinner and doing household chores，the average parent has just 30minutes to devote to their children in the evenings，according to a new study．One in four working parents worry that half an hour simply isn't enough，while almost half fret that they aren't a good enough parent during the week．
However，parenting experts believe just 12minutes a day may be enough for mothers and fathers to fully   reconnect with their child-as long as they ask the right questions．Child psychologist Dr Claire Halsey said asking a series of open-ended questions can help improve parents'relationship with their children．
Among the questions recommended in the research are："How many times have you smiled today-what made you laugh？"；"Can you act out what you did at breaktime？"；"Who is taller-mummy or your teacher？"and"What are the names of the toys you played with today？"Parents of older children are advised to start up a conversation with："I've got a great story for you but I want one in return…you first!"or"Tell me some school gossip …I'm all ears!"
Dr Halsey，working with the makers of Ribena Plus，who commissioned the research，said："There is no one as tough on their own parenting skills as a parent-but this study shows there is no need for parents to be so harsh．It's hard for working parents to juggle all their responsibilities and it can feel like guilt is simply a parent's lot-but it's absolutely not．By using clever tactics such as a little preparation alongside use of open-ended questions-such as‘Tell me what the best bit about your day was？'-parents can reduce the time worrying about chores and work and spend more time learning about their children's day．"

40．What does Dr Halsey intend to tell us in this passage？B
A．It is not necessary for parents to spend too much time with their children．

11．Most of the time，people wear hats to protect themselves from harsh weather conditions．Hats are also worn to show politeness and as signs of social position．But nowadays，hats，especially women's hats，are much more than that．More exactly，hats have changed into fashion and style symbols by many movie stars．What's more，people now consider many different features （特點(diǎn)）when choosing even a simple hat．Many designers point out that，when choosing the right hat，it's important to consider the color of your skin as well as your hair，your height，and the shape of your face．

First of all，the color of the hat should match the color of your skin and hair．For instance，black hats should be avoided if you are dark skinned．If a purple hat is placed on top of red hair，one will look as attractive as a summer flower．Second，the height of the hat is also an important point．Tall women should not go for hats with tall crowns，just as short women should choose hats with upturned brims to give the look of height．Third，and most importantly，the shape of the face decides the kind of hat one should pick．A small，gentle hat that fits the head looks good on a small face．However，women with big，round faces should choose a different style．

As the saying goes，"Fine feathers make fine birds．"A good hat can not only help your dress but also support your features，so why not choose the best possible one next time you want to be in public？
44．What does the underlined word"harsh"in Paragraph 1 probably mean？C
