Ellie was a skilled gymnast (体操运动员). She could jump higher than her height. But she liked showing off. When she tried out for the gymnastics team, She put on a perfect performance. “See if you can do that!” She said proudly. The next Friday, the list was posted announcing (宣布) who had made the team. Ellie’s name wasn’t on it. “It’s unfair. I’m better than all the other girls!” she said. She went to see the coach.
“You are quite talented, but your attitude (态度) is terrible,” the coach said.
“I have the attitude of a winner,” Ellie shouted.
“Making the gymnastics team isn’t just about gymnastics,” the coach explained. “It’s also about being on a team.”
That night Ellie complained to her parents. Her mother was angry, but her father said that the coach had a point. They had a big argument. Ellie couldn’t sleep. She kept thinking about what the coach had said.
Ellie could not stay away from the gym, so she practised alone. One day, after watching Ann fall off the parallel bars (双杠) again and again, Ellie ran to her and explained to Ann what she was doing wrong. Ann did as Ellie suggested and improved. Ellie did not notice the coach was looking at her. Over the next few months, Ellie always helped the other girls. They did better and better and won many competitions. “We couldn’t have done this without Ellie’s help,” the girls said.
The following year, Ellie tried out for the gymnastics team again. This time, she was modest. When the girls praised her, she just smiled and thanked them. When the coach posted the list of who had made the team, her name was on it. Ellie and the other girls were all very happy.

Fishing is a popular activity and every fisherman knows the rule: keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back. The reason for it is simple—if you keep the smaller ones, fewer fish will be able to grow and reproduce（繁殖）, and the fish population will be in danger. But should we always keep the big ones
One scientist, Dr.David Conover, has spent the last 10 years studying the effects of the “keep the big ones” rule.
To set up his experiment, Conover and his team caught hundreds of silverside fish and divided them into six groups. For two groups, the scientist followed the “keep the big ones” rule and took out the biggest fish. For the other two groups, he removed only the small fish. For the last two groups, he removed fish randomly（随机地）.
After five years, he measured the fish in each group. In the two groups where the biggest fish were regularly removed, the average （平均）fish size was smaller than the average size in the other groups. That is to say, if only small fish survive to reproduce, then future generations of fish are likely to be small.
For the second five years of his experiment, Conover changed the rules and took fish randomly from each group. At the end of the experiment, he found that the fish that were in the “keep the biggest ones” group for the first five years had started to get bigger again, although he expected it would take at least 12 years for the fish in that group to return to their normal size. In other words, it takes less time to shrink（变小）than it does to recover.
30．Why do fishermen follow the “keep the big ones, throw the smaller ones back” rule
A．It helps to protect fish size. B．They are used to following it.
C．It helps to protect fish numbers. D．They will be punished if they don’t.
31．What did Conover find after the first five years of his experiment
A．It made fish smaller on average. B．It made no difference to fish size.
C．It made the fish bigger on average. D．It affected all fish groups similarly.
32．Which of the following is true according to the experiment
A．The whole experiment took Conover more than 12 years.
B．It takes fish more time to turn to their normal size than it does to grow smaller.
C．The fish in the six groups had the same average size at the end of the experiment.
D．The fish in the “keep the big ones” group grew to their normal size in the experiment.
33．What’s the author’s intention in writing this article
A．To ask people to catch big fish.
B．to describe a scientific experiment.
C．To tell people the danger fish are facing.
D．To introduce the rules of fishing to readers.

One cold frosty morning, Bear woke up from the middle of his long winter sleep. He walked around outside his home and noticed that the water in the lake had frozen over.
“Good thing I’m not made of water,” he said, “or I’d turn to ice.”
“But you are made of water,” said Hare, who was tumbling around on a snow bank beside him. “Over half your body is water.”
“You must be fooling,” said Bear. He looked at his body. His arms didn’t look like water. His legs didn’t look like water. His paws didn’t look like water.
“Think of all your blood,” said Hare. “Your blood’s made of water. In fact, all your parts are made of cells, and cells are made of water.”
Bear rubbed his paws together and blew on them to keep them warm. “I don’t want to freeze like the lake,” he said.
“Don’t worry,” Hare giggled. “We’re warm-blooded animals. That means our body temperature stays the same, even when it’s cold outside. Besides, our body water isn’t pure water. It contains organic molecules (分子) like sodium (钠) and potassium (钾) that make its freezing point lower than regular. We can only freeze in very extreme conditions.”
“Brrrrrr.” Bear shook because of the cold.
“See, when you shake like that, your body’s using energy to make more heat and warm you up.”
“I know a better way to warm up,” said Bear. “Let’s go inside.”
They walked into Hare’s house. Bear relaxed by the fireplace. A few minutes later, the snow on his fur melted and dripped into puddles on the floor.
A teapot whistled on the store. Bear looked at the teapot and saw a thick stream of steam shooting into the air.
“How are you feeling now ” Hare asked as he brought Bear a cup of black tea.
“I’m still afraid,” Bear said as he touched the steaming teacup in his paws.
“Don’t be silly,” Hare told him. “Even though you’re made of water, you know you aren’t going to turn to ice.”
“I know,” Bear said. “But now I’m afraid I’ll evaporate.”
34．Why did Bear have a difficult time believing his body is made up of mostly water
A．Bear looked at himself and didn’t see any water.
B．Bear just found the water in the lake turned into water.
C．Bear hadn’t drunk any water during his long winter sleep.
D．Bear couldn’t swim in the lake since the beginning of winter.
35．According to the story, how is the water in the animals’ blood different from the frozen water of the lake
A．The water in their blood is less salty than the water in the lake.
B．The water in their blood is much thinner than the water in the lake.
C．The water in their blood has chemicals that make it harder to freeze.
D．The water in their blood is pure water, while the water in the lake is not.
36．At the end of the story, Bear was afraid that ______.
A．he would turn into ice B．he would turn into steam
C．his body was mostly made of water D．his body couldn’t get used to the cold
37．The writer wrote the story to ______.
A．tell adults a story about Hare knows much more than Bear
B．show children the close relationship between Bear and Hare
C．offer adults some advice on how to warm up during winter
D．teach children some knowledge about the water in the body

1．句意：就读于中国传媒大学的澳大利亚学生Madelenie King上月与寄宿家庭度过了他的20岁生日。
twenty二十；twenties是twenty的复数形式；the twentieth第二十；twentieth第二十。根据“birthday”可知，应用序数词表示“20岁生日”，空前有his修饰，所以不用再加定冠词the。故选D。
2．句意：对他来说，生活在异国他乡使他享受到各种各样的特殊经历。
a不定冠词，表泛指，用在以辅音音素开头的单词前；an不定冠词，表泛指，用在以元音音素开头的单词前；the定冠词，表特指；/ 零冠词。根据“foreign land”可知，此处的land是可数名词，表示“地区，国家”，且foreign是辅音音素开头的单词，所以空处用不定冠词a。故选A。

9．句意：除了烹饪，种菜是中国人业余时间最喜欢的活动之一。
cooks是cook的三单形式；cook烹饪（v.）；厨师（n.）；cooker厨具；cooking现在分词/动名词。上文讲述的是学做饭的事情，所以此处指“烹饪”；besides是介词，其后跟动名词作宾语，故选D。

46．句意：学习它不仅能提高人的逻辑思维能力，还能培养人冷静的性格。根据“but also it...their calm personality”以及首字母可知围棋能培养人的冷静性格，develop“培养”，描述客观情况，用一般现在时，主语是it，谓语动词用第三人称单数。故填(d)evelops。

The Traditional Art I Prefer

36% of the students like paper-cutting. 26% of students like Chinese clay. 30% of the students like Chinese calligraphy. 8% of students like different kinds of operas. I like Chinese paper cutting. As we all know, paper cutting is one of the traditional Chinese Arts. It’s easy to learn this art. People only need to use scissors and paper, so they enjoy doing it in their daily life. Paper cutting can be made in different shapes, such as figures, animals, flowers and Chinese characters with good meanings and so on. People often put them up on the walls. Paper cutting often appears at festivals or weddings because people think it can bring them happiness and good luck. We should try our best to protect this traditional skill.
