Once a farmer got in fight with his neighbour. During the fight, the farmer got so angry that he said many bad and 36 things to his neighbour.
After some time, the farmer realized his mistake and wanted to take his words back but didn’t know 37 to do. Just then, he got to know that a saint (圣人) was visiting his village. So, he decided to go to the saint and ask for 38 .
He went to the saint and told him 39 and asked him to tell him a way to take his words 40 .
The saint said to the farmer, “First, go and collect a lot of feathers in a(n) 41 basket and then keep them in the middle of the village and go home.”
The farmer did the same and the next day went to see the saint again.

The saint told him, “The same thing happens to the words spoken by you. You can 44 say them but can not take them back even if you want to. Before saying something bitter and bad to someone in anger you should always remember that your words can not be taken back. Therefore, it is better to keep 45 when you’re angry.”

Someone is playing a murderer (凶手), and the murderer is among you. Everybody is keeping secrets. Who can you trust Seven hours later, 21-year-old Li Xiang is still playing Live Action Role.
Live Action Role Playing (LARP) is a game. It’s just like you’re playing in a film. The film is about a murder mystery (谋杀案). People like to call it “Jubensha”. It usually takes place among a group of 4-12 players in a real scene (场景). The players choose their characters (角色) and stories first. And then, they dress up and play their story. But each player only knows his or her own story. They try to find out who is the murderer in the game. The game usually lasts for 3-5 hours per time.
The number of players of LARP grew very fast from 2016 to 2020.Why Maybe there are not enough colourful social activities open to young people today. “I feel relaxed. It gives me a rest from my busy life. The feeling is like watching a movie, but the experience (经历) is more exciting,” Li Xiang says.
For a growing number of players, role-playing is also a way of making friends. Players talk with each other and work together to find out the murderer.
Huo Xin, a lover of LARP, says, “We often watched films and went for drinks or shopping. There weren’t many fun activities out there. But now LARP can offer a new social experience to people to make new friends.” It is young people’s way of living another life out of their busy work.
( )52. The second paragraph tells us ________.
A. how a murderer should be B. why people love LARP
C. how helpless Li Xiang is D. what LARP is like
( )53. Why does LARP get popular
A. Young people need more friends. B. Many people join in the game each time.

D
My new master’s name was Jeremiah Barker, but everyone called him Jerry. His wife was called Polly and they had two children, a boy called Harry and a little girl called Dolly. The Barkers were a very happy family.
Jerry had a cab (出租马车)of his own, and two horses, which he drove by himself. His other horse was a tall, white, large-boned animal called “Captain”. He was old now.
I never knew a better man than my new master. He liked singing to himself. One of the songs was this: “Come, father and mother. And sister and e, all of you, turn to. And help one another.”
And so they did; Harry was as clever as a much older boy at stable-work, and always wanted to do what he could. Then Polly and Dolly used to come in the morning to help with the cab while Jerry was giving us a cleaning in the yard, and Harry was rubbing the harness (擦马具).
The next morning Harry and Dolly came into the yard to see me and make friends. I loved it when they patted me and spoke in gentle voices.
“Let’s call him ‘Jack’, shall we, Harry ” said Dolly. “Yes, Let’s,” said Harry.
The first week of my life as Jack, the London cab horse was very hard. The noise and the people and the traffic on the streets frightened me. But Jerry was a very good driver, and that helped a lot. Jerry soon found that I was ready to work hard and do my best, and he didn’t whip (鞭打) me.
He kept us clean, and gave us as much food as we wanted. But the best thing was that we had Sundays off. (Adapted from Black Beauty)
( )56. Who is the Jack’s new master
A. Jerry B. Polly C. Harry D. Dolly.
( )57. How many people are there in Jack’s new master’s family
A. 3 B. 5 C. 4 D. 6
( )58. The underlined word “He” is ________.
A. Jerry B. a cab C. Captain D. Harry.
( )59.We can infer (推断) that Jack’s master is ________.
A. kind B. an American C. a singer D. old
( )60.What can we learn from the passage
A. The master didn’t like singing.
B. Harry was foolish.
C. The two horses could only eat little food every day.
D. The horse could have a rest after a week’s work.
B. 根据短文内容，从文后选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。（5分）
Sometimes it may seem like that you’re always getting into trouble with your classmates, your friends or even your teacher and that no matter what you do you just can’t get things right. The best thing to do is to stop trouble before it starts. 61
Firstly, if you say something bad about other people, it will certainly reach them in the end. They will surely get angry. 62 You should say something positive(积极的) about people if you want to stay out of trouble.
Secondly, Don’t try to reason with unreasonable (不讲道理的) people. 63 So keep away from unreasonable people, and you’ll be much more likely to stay out of trouble.
Thirdly, 64 If someone is trying to drive you mad or call your names, learn to take deep breaths, walk away and keep you cool. Remember yourself that it may feel good to fight (战斗，打架) with those who drive you mad for a few seconds, but in the long term, it’ll only do you harm.
Finally, Take good care of yourself. You may not think that getting enough rest, eating three meals and getting some exercise have anything to do with staying out of trouble, but you’re wrong. Taking care of your body means you’re taking care of your mind, and if your body and mind are in good shape, you’re less likely to get into trouble. 65
A. Explaining (解释) something to people who don’t want to listen is a waste of both time and energy. B. Working hard is important to everyone. C. Here are some things you can do to stay out of trouble. D. Also, if you’re paying attention to your own health, then you won’t have time to cause trouble. E. And you may be in some big trouble. F. Avoid (避免) getting into fight.
