Life is competitive—some kids can do something faster or better than other kids. This might not seem fair, but all people are different and how well you can do something is different from others. This means there are "winners" and "losers". and lots of people are neither winners nor losers but in-between. You can choose to be a good winner or an even better loser whether you are competing against others or yourself. Being a good winner No one likes a "show off". No one likes someone who takes all the praise for the efforts of a team. No one likes people who put others down to make themselves look good. To be a good winner you need to: ◆Be modest (谦虚的). ◆Thank those who helped you for their efforts. ◆Keep trying to improve your skills. ◆Aim for the next step up in whatever you are doing well. Being an even better loser Of course it's disappointing to lose, especially if you are close to winning. Behaving badly or angrily, name-calling and going on about things being "unfair" won't change the final result and will only make you look like a bad sport. And no one likes bad sports, either. To be an even better loser you need to: ◆Behave politely, nicely and kindly. ◆Congratulate the other team. ◆Keep any negative (消极的) thoughts to yourself—at least until you are away from the game. It's OK to let out your negative thoughts to your best friend or parents later. And if you don't do very well in a game, try harder to learn for the next one. Improving yourself makes you a winner, too.
31.What can we learn from the first paragraph
A. We are either losers or winners.
B. We should face winning and losing properly.
C. We can do nothing about winning and losing.
D. We are always competing with others not ourselves.
32.What should a better loser do when losing
A. Let out his anger to his parents at once.
B. Express his negative feelings in the game.
C. Try harder to improve himself in the next game.
D. Behave badly to his team members or competitors.
33.Which one is NOT proper if we succeed
A. Going on improving our skills.
B. Telling our team members to aim higher.
C. Thanking our team members for their efforts.
D. Putting down others to make ourselves look good.
34.Who is probably a bad loser
A. Tom keeps saying the game is unfair when he loses.
B. Jim encourages his teammates after their team loses.
C. Anna thanks her coach for what he has done though she fails.
D. Cindy shows her congratulations to other competitors even if she fails.
35.What is the passage written for
A. Telling us what we can learn from losing.
B. Offering advice on what we can do to win.
C. Encouraging us to become a winner instead of a loser.
D. Giving advice on how to deal with winning and losing.

36.阅读下面的短文，完成小题。
An 11-year-old boy from Germany has caused an event. He said he's the victim (受害者）of forced labor because his mother asks him to do the chores.
He even called the police station to complain (抱怨）he was being treated like a slave (奴隶）after his mother told him to do the chores.
Household tasks such as washing up and cleaning the home are boring for all but the tidiest among us. But this young boy's actions have made it clear just how much he hates housework.
Police say the boy from Aachen, who has not been identified, spoke to an officer on the 110 number. Clearly unwilling to carry out boring jobs, he said: "I have to work all day long. I haven't any free hobby."
His mum replied: "He plays all day long and when told to tidy up what he's done, he calls it forced labor." She also said that he'd been threatening (威胁）to call them having complained about having to lend a helping hand around the house during the summer holidays.
Lots of kids are unwilling to do it when it comes to cleaning. But how can they be encouraged so parents don't end up working hard Perhaps pocket money is a good encouragement. Money or reward is often a good way to get people to work hard.

2.【答案】A
【解析】句意——我可以坐在这儿吗？——不，你不能，它们只为老人和孩子提供。A. may也许，或许，可以；B. must必须；C. will将要。根据： I take a seat here？可知：我可以坐这里吗，表示委婉请求，用may，故选A。
3.【答案】D
【解析】句意：苏珊的妈妈今天很高兴，因为当她不在家的时候，苏珊照顾了她的小弟弟。A.agreed with同意；B.depended on依靠；C.worked on从事；D.took care of照顾。根据Susan s mother was very happy today.苏珊的妈妈今天很高兴。可知，应该是苏珊照顾了她的小弟弟，故选D。
4.【答案】B
【解析】句意：考试时，你越小心，犯的错误就越少。用the+比较级+主谓，the+比较级+主谓，意为"越……越……"，固定句型。根据During the exam可知，用形容词careful小心，比较级是the more careful；less较少的，little的比较级，修饰不可数名词；fewer是few的比较级，修饰可数名词复数。mistakes是复数，用fewer修饰。

【解析】句意：——你喜欢哪一个颜色，红色还是蓝色？——都不（喜欢）。我喜欢绿色。A.两者中任何一个；B.两者都；C.两者中任何一个都不；D.三者或者三者以上中任何一个都不。根据问句中的red or blue可知是两者，故排除选项D；根据后面的句子I like green.可知，此空用neither来说明红色和蓝色任何一个都不喜欢，故选C。

7.【答案】C
【解析】点拨：Not at all不客气；It is a big deal它是件大事；With pleasure很愿意；That's all right不客气。问句提出一个请求，回答应为肯定或否定；而交际用语语气要委婉。C项表示答应对方请求，符合语境。其他三项均不用于回答请求，故选C。

4. 根据文章倒数第三段句子Then one day Nancy got very surprised when she came home from work. The kitchen was clean. The children had cleaned it!后来有一天，南希下班回家时感到非常惊讶。厨房很干净。孩子们把它打扫干净了！由此可知，有一天，南希下班回家时感到非常惊讶，是因为孩子们把厨房打扫干净了。故选D。

2. 根据文中第三段“Household tasks such as washing up and cleaning the home are boring for all but the tidiest among us. 除了最整洁的人之外，诸如洗碗和打扫房间这样的家务活对我们所有人来说都是令人厌烦的。”可知，洗碗和打扫房间是两件令人厌烦的家务事，故填①washing up ②cleaning the home。

4. 句意：一名来自德国亚琛的11岁男孩不愿意做家务，于是他打电话给110的一名官员说，他不得不整天工作，没有任何自由的业余爱好。由文章第二段“He even called the police station to complain（抱怨）he was being treated like a slave（奴隶）after his mother told him to do the chores. 他甚至打电话给警察局抱怨说他的母亲要求他做家务，他认为他被当作奴隶一样。”可知他不想做家务；由文章第四段“...he said: “I have to work all day long.
