It had been stuck there for more than ten years.‎ Every night between 6:50 and 7:50,the alarm clock stuck in the living room wall rang. Sylvia and Jerry Lynn heard the alarm ring at the same time every evening for 13 years. And they finally had the clock removed after their story gained national attention.‎ Keith Andreen and Dawn Michelucci work for Low-Cost Heating and Air Conditioning. They came to get the clock out of the wall through the couple’s garage.‎ ‎“This is the first time that I had to remove a clock from inside a wall,” Andreen told CBS Pittsburgh.‎ Jerry accidentally dropped the clock down an air vent (通风口)while making home repairs in 2004. The couple expected the clock to die after a few months. However, its battery remained undamaged even as it was pulled from the wall. Jerry said they finally got used to the nightly alarm and even considered it “kind of cute”. So he chose to leave it in the wall as a conversation starter. “You’re sitting around playing cards and it goes off,” he told Inside Edition. “Is that an alarm clock? Why is the alarm clock going off? It’s in the wall.”‎ After 13 years, Jerry said the clock looked almost exactly how he remembered it when he dropped it in the wall. “It is a travel alarm clock,” he said.

The autumnn colours are also amazing. It is quiet at tourist attractions for most of the month, as the summer holiday travel crowds have gone. But try to avoid October 1 st -7 th, which is the Chinese National Day holiday, as attractions, transport and hotels are packed with Chinese tourists and prices go up a lot.‎ Late Spring (April to May)‎ ‎ Things to do: appreciate flowers, Li River cruise, ethnic festivals ‎ Places to visit: Beijing, Xi’an, Guilin, Huangshan, GuiZhou, Zhangjiajie ‎ The second-best time to travel to China is probably in April and May, when the flowers are in bloom and the temperatures are warming up. In late spring, temperatures across China are getting into the 20s (℃), except the extreme northwest and northeast. While the North of China is still dry, the summer rains have already begun in the South. This could actually improve the view in the form of mountain fog in mountainous areas like the Li River and the Yellow Mountains.‎ ‎ Ethnic festivals in GuiZhou are concentrated in April and May, such as the Sisters’ Meal Festival. If you are interested in Miao and Dong ethnic cultures, this is a good time to visit.‎ ‎ Travel prices are average: cheaper than June to October, but more expensive than the lower season from November to March.‎ ‎25. Which time is best if you want to attend the ethnic festivals in GuiZhou?‎ ‎ A . April 25 th. B. June 17 th. C. October 1 st. D. November 9 th.‎ ‎26. Which are the best places to visit in both October and late spring?‎ ‎ A. Beijing and Zhangjiajie. B. Shanghai and GuiZhou. ‎ ‎ C. Xi’an and Guilin. D. Huangshan and Jiuzhaigou.‎ ‎27. Why is late spring the best time to visit Huangshan?‎ ‎ A. Because the summer rains haven’t come yet.‎ ‎ B. Because the wet weather adds to its beauty.‎ ‎ C. Because there are several special festivals there.‎ ‎ D. Because the prices are the lowest of the year.‎ ‎ C Have you ever lost your temper? Did you yell and scream or want to hit someone? If so, you are angry.‎ Everyone gets angry. Maybe you “lose your cool” or “hit the roof.” Anger can even be a good thing. When kids are treated unfairly, anger can help them stand up for themselves. The hard part is learning what to do with these strong feelings.‎ Don’t lose control if you get angry. Taking it out on others never solves anything. Instead, admit to yourself that you are angry and try to figure out why. What can you do to keep the situation from happening again?‎ It helps to talk about your anger with an adult, such as a parent, teacher, or relative. Once you talk about anger, those bad feelings usually start to go away.‎ Here are some other things you can do when you start to feel angry.‎ ‎ talk to a friend you can trust ‎ count to 10‎ ‎ get or give a hug ‎ do jumping jacks or another exercise ‎ draw a picture of your anger ‎ play a video game ‎ run around the outside of the house five times as fast as you can ‎ sing along with the stereo ‎ pull weeds in the garden ‎ think good thoughts (maybe about a fun vacation or your favorite sport )‎ ‎ take a bike ride, go skateboarding, play basketball —do something active!‎ Never getting angry is impossible. Instead, remember that how you act when you are angry can make the situation better or worse. Don’t let anger be the boss of you. Take charge of it!‎ ‎28.

A medical research paper says cancer was once thought of as a problem mostly in the developed world. But now cancer is a leading cause of death and disability in poor countries as ‎ well. Experts from Harvard University and other organizations urge the international community to fight cancer actively, saying it should be fought in the way HIV/AIDS has been fought in Africa.‎ Cancer kills more than 7.5 million people a year worldwide. Almost two thirds are in low-income and middle-income countries.‎ They discover cancer kills more people in developing countries than AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. But the world spends only 5﹪ of its cancer resources in those countries.‎ Felicia Knaul from Harvard Medical School was one of the writers of the paper. She was in Mexico when she was found to have breast cancer. She received treatment there and her experience showed her the sharp difference between the rich and the poor in treating breast cancer.‎ Felicia Knaul says, “ And we are seeing how this is attacking young women. It’s the number two cause of death in Mexico of women thirty to fifty-four. All over the developing world, it’s the number one cancer-related death among young women. I think we have to again say that there is much more we could do about it than we are doing about it. ” ‎ Professor Knaul met community health workers during her work in developing countries. They were an important part of efforts to reduce deaths from the cancer. They were able to persuade people to get tested to prevent the illness. The experts say cancer care does not have to be costly. For example, patients can be treated with lower-cost drugs.‎ ‎32. Felicia Knaul’s experience in Mexico shows that_____________.‎ ‎ A. many Mexico women suffer from breast cancer ‎ B. patients with breast cancer are treated differently ‎ C. there is not enough medicine for cancer there ‎ D. many Mexico women can’t afford medical care ‎ ‎33. From what Felicia Knaul says, we can draw the conclusion that ______________.‎ ‎ A.people don’t pay enough attention to breast cancer ‎ B. breast cancer is a great threat to young women ‎ ‎ C. breast cancer is the second killer among women in Mexico ‎ D. patients can be treated effectively in developing countries ‎34. Who plays an important part in preventing the cancer in developing countries?‎ A.The cancer patients B. The health experts C. Young women D. Community health workers ‎35. What would be the best title for the passage? ‎ A. Experts urge more efforts to fight cancer.‎ B. Cancer—a leading cause of death in poor countries.‎ C. What makes the first killer in developing countries?‎ D. What should we do in preventing and treating cancer? ‎ 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中存两项为多余选项。 ‎ If your child is being bullied(欺负), there are ways to help him or her deal with it on a day-to-day basis and lessen its lasting effect.‎ If your child tells you about a bully, focus on offering comfort and support, no matter how upset you are. Kids are not willing to tell adults about bullying because they feel embarrassed and ashamed. 36 ‎ Sometimes kids feel like it’s their own fault. 37 Some kids are afraid that if the bully finds out that they have told others, it will get worse. Others are worried that their parents won’t believe them or do anything about it.‎ ‎ 38 Remind your child that he or she isn’t alone. Emphasize that it’s the bully who is behaving badly — not your child. Comfort your child and say that you will find out what to do about it together.‎ Take it seriously if you hear that the bullying will get worse if the bully finds out that your child has told someone. 39 But in most cases, teachers are the best ones to contact first. If you’ve tried that and still want to speak to the bullying child’s parents, it’s best to do so in a context where a school official, such as a teacher, can mediate.‎ ‎ 40 Find out about the laws in your community. In certain cases, if you have serious concerns about your child’s safety, you may need to contact legal authorities.‎ A. Praise your child for being brave enough to talk about it.‎ B. They also worry that their parents will be disappointed.‎ C. Many kids don’t tell anyone because they feel ashamed.‎ D. They think that if they acted differently it wouldn’t be happening. ‎ E. A bully can turn something into a serious thing for kids.‎ F. Many countries have bullying laws and pocilies.‎ G. Sometimes it’s useful to find the bully’s parents.‎ 第三部分英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项.‎ ‎ It is not often that a person has sympathy for someone who stole from him / her.
