I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there were a whole lot of antique (古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception. I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair. ‎ The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth—so I decided that my approach must be wrong.‎ I went into the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, “Would you like to buy a chair?” He looked it over carefully and said, “Yes, not a bad chair. How much do you want for it, sir?” “Twenty pounds,” I said. “OK,” he said, “I’ll give you twenty pounds.” “It’s got a slightly broken leg,” I said. “Yes, I saw that, but it’s nothing.”‎ Everything was going according to the plan and I was getting excited. “What will you do with it?” I asked. “Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done.” “I’ll buy it,” I said. “What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me,” he said. “Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I’m sorry; I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it. ” “You must be crazy,” he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. “I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair. ” “You’re right,” I said. “And what would you have done if I had walked in and said would you mend this chair for me?” ‎ ‎“I wouldn’t have agreed to do it,” he said. “We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (五镑钞票)?” He was a very nice man and was greatly amused by the whole thing.‎ ‎21.

A web-building spider without its web is like a man cast away on an island of solid rock, totally out of touch and destined to starve to death. ‎ ‎ So important is the web to an orb-web spider’s survival that the animal will continue to construct new webs daily even if it is being starved. For 16 days the starving spider builds completely normal webs. Then, as the animal gets scrawnier (憔悴的), it constructs a wider-meshed web using fewer strands (线). Such webs would only trap larger prey, which is more economical from the perspective of a starving spider. ‎ ‎ The spider stores energy by recycling web protein. It simply eats its own web each evening and re-uses it to produce new silk. In studies with radioactively labeled materials, it was found that 95 percent of web protein reappears in the next day’s web. Most of the energy needed for web-building is used in walking over the strands as they are laid down. ‎ ‎ Scientists are impressed by the adaptability of the spider’s highly preprogrammed brain, which is larger for its size than the brain of any other invertebrate (无脊椎动物). If web-building is interrupted, or if some of the existing strands are destroyed, the spider simply goes back to see where the web is left off and then finished building a normal web. One spider will even finish building the incomplete web of another. ‎ ‎32. What is probably the best title for the passage?‎ A. Secrets of Spiders’ Adaptability B. Importance of Webs to Spiders C. Secrets of the Spiders’ Life D. Spiders’ Highly Preprogrammed Brain ‎ ‎33. According to the passage, which of the following statements is TRUE? ‎ A. Web-building spiders have good eyesight.‎ B. One web-building spider usually conducts one web.‎ C. Most spiders will stop conducting webs when hungry. ‎ D. Web-building spiders will probably die without their webs.‎ ‎34. A spider conducts a wider-meshed web when _______. ‎ A. it is 16 days old B. it is getting weaker C. it has fewer strands D. it hunts for food ‎35. A spider’s ability to finish an incomplete web proves that _______. ‎ A. it has a highly preprogrammed brain ‎ B. it reuses its web protein to reproduce new silk ‎ C. the web is everything for a spider ‎ D. it is able to rebuild a destroyed web ‎ 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。选项中有两项为多余选项。（如果所用的答题卡没有E、F、G选项，则选E涂A、B，选F涂A、C，选G涂A、D）‎ Anger Is Dangerous to Your Health Doctors say anger can be an extremely damaging emotion, unless you learn how to deal with it. 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 said 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中（A、B、C和D）, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。 ‎ I often read of incidents of misunderstanding or conflict. I’m left 41 . Why do these people create mistrust and problems, especially with those from other 42 ?‎ I was growing up in Kuala Lumpur in the early 1960s, 43 children from different races and religions played and studied 44 in harmony. At that time my family lived a stone’s 45 from Ismail’s. And no one was bothered that Ismail was a Malay Muslim and I was an Indian Hindu – we just 46 our differences.

It was Ismail! Even after two 56 we still recognized each other. Grasping his shoulder, I felt a true affection, something 57 to describe. ‎ If we can allow our children to be 58 without prejudice, they’ll build friendships with people, regardless of race or religion, who will be 59 their side through thick and thin.
