Some people even do not have time for a short sleep．They will not have enough time for pets, either．For good bird health it is very important to handle them and play with them as much as you can．‎ Also there are a lot of people who think that birds do not require a lot of space and they are wrong again．They also need to fly so if you do not have space for it, you’d better reconsider the things．‎ But do not forget the great advantage of having a pet bird．In the animal kingdom, birds rank near the top when it comes to smarts．You can have a friend for life if you take good care of it．It’s a real character and can bring joy and colour in your home．‎ ‎21．What is the text mainly about?‎ ‎ A．The advantages of keeping a pet bird． ‎ ‎ B．The reasons for keeping a pet bird．‎ ‎ C．Things to consider if you want to keep a pet bird．‎ ‎ D．Different types of pets for different people．‎ ‎22．We can learn from the second paragraph that ．‎ ‎ A．you have to be very rich to keep a pet bird ‎ ‎ B．some cost of keeping a pet bird is unnecessary ‎ C．it is very easy to calculate the cost of having a pet bird ‎ D．the cost of having a pet bird is unpredictable sometimes ‎23．If you want to have a pet bird, you needn’t consider ．‎ ‎ A．the knowledge about a pet bird B．the cost of having a pet bird ‎ ‎ C．the time taken to care for a pet bird D．the space a pet bird needs to fly B My decision to travel around China lay merely with my curiosity about the place. Before coming here, China seemed alien to me ----a place that expected to be hugely dissimilar from my own British culture.‎ After travelling from Beijing up to Xi'an, I wanted to challenge myself by choosing a smaller town---- Xiahe in Gansu‎ ‎Province. I arrived in Lanzhou at around 5 am, but there were no buses to Xiahe. I managed to spot a policeman and attempted to explain my destination to him in simple English, praying that he would understand. I wasn't sure that he did but I just followed him anyway as I had no choice. He took me on a bus and I didn't know where I was going. Luckily, I met a student who explained to me in English that the policeman was taking me to another bus station where I could take a bus to Xiahe. During this conversation a third man said he was also a policeman and would help me buy tickets. But as he was not in uniform, I was a little doubtful. The uniformed policeman told me it was OK to go with the third man, so I got off the bus with the so-called policeman who at this point, disappeared and I was left in the middle of nowhere. I stood panicking. Around one minute later a police car came and stopped right by me. It was the uh-uniformed policeman. I got into the car and he dropped me directly at the bus station, and helped me buy the ticket. ‎ This is one of many experiences that I have had in China. I realized that however different this culture was, there was one thing that would always stand out------ kindness. In the west we seem to lack the foundation of trust, yet in China it seems that there will always be someone to answer your questions and lead you the right way.‎ ‎24. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined word "alien"?‎ ‎ A. Unfriendly. B. Familiar. C. Strange. D. Attractive.‎ ‎25. What can we learn from the second paragraph?‎ ‎ A.

A police car took the un-uniformed policeman away.‎ ‎26. Why did the un-uniformed policeman disappear after the author got off the bus?‎ ‎ A. He hurried to buy a ticket for the author.‎ ‎ B. He went to get a car to pick the author up.‎ ‎ C. The author didn't behave in a friendly way.‎ ‎ D. The author found a uniformed policeman to help him.‎ ‎27.

People's kindness. ‎ C Below are four ads on the website．‎ Artful Experience It’s an artful experience even if you’re artistically challenged．Adults, teens, and children of all ages are welcome at Contemporary Art studio．We provide everything: stamps, idea books, a little coaching, and a lot of encouragement．Drop in anytime．It’s creative fun for everyone to paint your own pottery （陶器）!

They warn that anger can lead to heart disease, stomach problems, headaches, emotional problems and possibly cancer. ___36___ Some people express anger openly in a calm reasonable way. Others burst with anger, and scream and yell. But other people keep their anger inside. They can not or will not express it. This is called repressing anger. For years many doctors thought that repressing anger was more dangerous to a person’s health than expressing it. They said that when a person is angry, the brain releases the same hormones (荷尔蒙). They speed the heart rate, raise blood pressure, or sugar into the blood, etc. ___37___ Some doctors say that both repressing and expressing anger can be dangerous. They believe that those who express anger violently may be more likely to develop heart disease, and they believe that those who keep anger inside may face a greater danger of high blood pressure. ___38___ They say the first step is to admit that you are angry and to recognize the real cause of the anger, then decide if the cause is serious enough to get angry about. If it is, they say, “___39___ Wait until your anger has cooled down and you are able to express yourself calmly and reasonably.” ‎ ‎ Doctors say that a good way to deal with anger is to find humor in the situation that has made you angry. ___40___ A. In general the person feels excited and ready to act. B. They say that laughter is much healthier than anger. C. Expressing anger violently is more harmful than repressing it. D. Anger may cause you a cancer. E. Do not express your anger while angry. F. Anger is a normal emotion that we all feel from time to time. G. Doctors say the solution is learning how to deal with anger.‎ 第三部分：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，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。‎ A man wanted to become wealthy．He was told a story one day that there was a 41 pebble （鹅卵石） among the pebbles on the beach of the Black Sea．It could turn everything it touched into 42 ．This pebble could be 43 only by touching it: unlike the other pebbles it was 44 when touched．The man rushed to the beach of the Black Sea and began to 45 the pebble．‎ ‎ 46 he picked up a pebble that felt cold, he threw it into the sea．He 47 this practice day after day．Each pebble that felt cold was 48 thrown into the sea．‎ One morning, he 49 to take hold of a pebble that felt warm, unlike the other 50 ．The man threw the pebble into the sea．He hadn’t 51 to, but he had formed a habit．Habits can be hard to 52．‎ In fact, if we repeat any behaviour 53 enough, it becomes a habit．But some habits can work in our favour, such as 54 attitudes and healthy ways of life．Our habitual attitudes and behaviour can either 55 us or hinder （阻碍） us．‎ Is there behaviour or an attitude you would like to make into a 56 ?
