    A
    One day when I was 5, my mother blamed me for not finishing my rice and I got angry. I wanted to play outside and not to be made to finish eating my old rice. When angrily opening the screen door (纱门 with my foot, I kicked back about a 12-inch part of the lower left hand corner of the new screen door. But I had no regret, for I was happy to be playing in the backyard with my toys.
    Today, I know if my child had done what I did, I would have blamed my child, and told him about how expensive this new screen door was, and I would have delivered a spanking (打屁股 for it. However, my parents never said a word. They left the corner of the screen door pushed out, creating an opening, in the defense against unwanted insects.
    For years, every time I saw that corner of the screen, it would constantly make me think about my mistake. For years, I knew that everyone in my family would see that hole and remember who did it. For years, every time I saw a fly buzzing (嗡嗡 in the kitchen, I would wonder if it came in through the hole that I had created with my angry foot. Iwould wonder if my family members were thinking the same thing, silently blaming me every time a flying insect entered our home, making life more terrible for us all. My parents taught me a valuable lesson, one that a spanking or stern (严厉的 words perhapscould not deliver. Their silent punishment for what I had done delivered a hundred stern messages to me. Above all, it has helped me become a more patient person and not burst out so easily.

    C. told him how expensive it was D. blamed him for what he had done 2. The experience may cause the author _______.

    B
    If our kids don’t fall, they don’t learn to get up. I still remember the day in high school that my mom forgot to pick me up from school. I’m the oldest of four children, and no doubt she’d had a long day with the other kids and it’d slipped her mind. After waiting at school for an hour, I walked the three miles home, and when I got to my house, I shut our front door with anger, stormed into the kitchen and screamed in my mom’s face that she’d forgotten me.
    Later that night, my dad told me I no longer had a ride to school the next day. I figured my mom would still take me, but when the morning came, she refused. It was midterm, and as a straight-A student ready to start college applications, being late wasn’t an option (选择. In my mind, missing these tests would have been the end of my academic career. I begged my mom. I told her she was ruining my future and everything I’d worked for. But sheheld her ground, and that day, I walked to school. And I missed my tests.
    My mom didn’t rescue me from failure. She let me suffer from it. She let me figure it out. She let me learn. Now, as a mom myself, I’ve realized that I want my kids to experience failure because failure is how we grow, learn and think outside of ourselves. It’s how we self-educate to learn what’s right and respectable, and what’s not. It’s how we become responsible and enthusiastic. Falling down makes us better because we learn how to get up. 4. What is one of the reasons that the author got angry that day? A. She was tired. B. She failed in a test.
    C. She was late for school. D. She had to walk home by herself. 5. How does the author feel about her childhood experience?
    A. Terrible. B. Meaningful. C. Embarrassing. D. Colorful. 6. The underlined phrase “held her ground” in Paragraph 2 probably means “________”. A. gave in to me B. said yes to me C. stayed in the place D. kept to her idea 7. What is the best title for the text?
    A. My Way of Growing B. The Value of Failure C. My Love for Mother D. Failure in My Life
    C
    In ancient times, Chinese used plant leaves or bird feathers as a fan during the summer time. This was the
    earliest form of the fan. The first real fan was made back in the era of Yao and Shun period thousands of years ago. Since then,Chinese-made fans have become a vital part of Chinese art and culture. At the beginning, the fan functioned as a tool to generate a current of air in the hot weather. Now electric fans such as ceiling fans and other technological breakthroughs have taken the place.
    Long ago, fans caught the attention of ancient Chinese artists by chance. Thereafter, a unique fan art gradually took shape in the history of Chinese culture. Fan art usually includes Chinese calligraphy, paintings, or poems on the sectors（扇区）. Special skills are needed to write or paint on them.
    Due to its history and partly because of its unique shape, Chinese would soon develop the tradition of using fans as ornaments（装饰品）. Fans are made in different sizes and different color1 s to meet the needs of each request. Other Chinese ornaments, such as the Chinese knot, the green jade, and the Spring Festival picture, are often combined in each design.
    The value of fans depends mainly on the materials used and the level of craftsmanship that is involved during the process. Feather, paper, jade, bamboo and silk have all been used as ideal materials to make fans. Ancient Chinese even made iron fans to serve as deadly weapons（武器）in Chinese martial arts. Fans made by famous craftsmen are often characterized by pretty designs and detailed workmanship, and thus become favorites of collectors. Fans with masterpiece fine art like calligraphy or paintings are even more valuable. 8.What is the first paragraph mainly about?
    A. The origin of fans. B. The materials of fans. C. The popularity of fans. D. The production of fans. 9. Why do Chinese use fans as ornaments? A. They are made of valuable materials. B. They reflect the beauty of Chinese culture. C. They convey literature works on the sectors. D. They are often combined with other ornaments.
    10. Which of the following makes a fan favored by most collectors? A. Its advanced function. B. Its complex character. C. Its artistic handicraft. D. Its various applications. 11. What can we infer about the fan from the text? A. Chinese send fans to their friends as gifts. B. Chinese ornaments can meet different requests.

    C. Traditional fans have lost their functional value. D. The fan plays different roles with the change of time.
    D
    Cuckoos don’t bother building their own nests—they just lay eggs that perfectly imitate those of other birds and take over their nests. But other birds are wishing up, evolving some seriously impressive tricks to spot the cuckoo eggs.
    Cuckoos are often know asparasites, meaning that they hide their eggs in the nest of other species. To avoid detection, the cuckoos have evolved so that eggs seem reproduction of those of their preferred targets. If the host bird doesn’t notice the strange egg in its nest, the little cuckoo will actually take the entire nest for itself after it comes out, taking the other eggs on its back and dropping them out of the nest.
    To avoid this unpleasant fate for their young, the other birds have evolved a few smart ways to spot the fakes, which we’re only now beginning to fully understand. One of the most amazing finds is that birds have an extra colour-sensitive cell in their eyes, which makes them far more sensitive to ultraviolet wavelengths and allows them to see a far greater range of colours than humans can. This allows cautious birds to detect a fake egg which might be exactly the same to our eyes.
    Fascinatingly, we’re actually able to observe different bird species at very different points in their evolutionary war with the cuckoos. For instance, some cuckoos lay their eggs in the nests of the redstarts. The blue eggs these cuckoos lay are practically alike to those of the redstarts, and yet they are still sometimes rejected. Compare that with cuckoos who target dunnocks. While those birds lay perfectly blue eggs, their cuckoo invaders just lay white eggs with brown irregular shaped spots. And yet dunnocks barely ever seem to notice the obvious trick.
    Biologists suspect these more easily fooled species like the dunnocks are on the same evolutionary path as the redstarts, but they have a long way to go until they evolve the same levels of suspicion. What’s remarkable is that the dunnocks fakes are so bad and the redstart ones so good, and yet cuckoos are still more successful with the former than the latter.
    It speaks to just how thoroughly a species’ behavior can be changed by the pressures of natural selection, or it might just be a bit of strategic cooperation on the part of the dunnocks. Biologists have suggested that these birds are willing to tolerate a parasite every so often because they don’t want to risk accidentally getting rid of one of their own eggs.
    12. This passage can be most likely found in a ________.

    A. science survey B. nature magazine C. zoo advertisement D. travel journal
    13. What does the underlined word “parasite” in paragraph 2 most probably refer to? A. Animals that work together to raise young. B. Small harmful animals such as worms or mice. C. Animals that can adapt to changing environments. D. Animals which live on or inside other host animals.
    14. Which of the following is TRUE about the dunnock according to the passage? A. It is colour-blind and therefore cannot identify foreign eggs in the nest. B. It can easily remove cuckoo eggs from the nest because fakes are so bad. C. It is a host bird that is more likely to raise a cuckoo chick than the redstart. D. It is unable to evolve and hence accepts cuckoo eggs that appear in the nest. 15. Which of the following can be inferred from the passage? A. Dunnocks may eventually learn to recognise foreign eggs. B. Redstarts seem to be less suspicious compared to dunnocks. C. Cuckoo birds are good at taking responsibility for their own young. D. It is very easy for cuckoos to imitate the colouring of the dunnock’s egg. 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
