If you see a cub, move away immediately – you can be certain the mother is nearby.‎ Make noise. Typically, bears avoid humans. You can make this easier for them by making noise when hiking in the backcountry – talk with your companions, sing a song, whistle.‎ Watch for carcasses（兽类的尸体） and stay away from them. Report all dead animals found near a trail or campsite to a park employee. If you smell rotten meat, ‎ leave the area immediately. Never approach or camp near a carcass. A bear may be out of sight, guarding its food. ‎ Avoid carrying items with strong smell. Bears are attracted by smells of food and other items with strong smell. Leave food like bacon, tuna, ham, and scented personal products at home. Bears have a great sense of smell and can detect smells miles away. We recommend using dry, sealed foods; they are lighter and less fragrant.‎ Keep a clean camp and store food items securely. For the protection of bears, park visitors and employees, it is very important that bears do not gain access to human food. Never eat or store food in your tent. Get rid of food left after a meal properly (pack it in, pack it out) and don’t leave food, dishes, or stoves unattended.‎ In areas where bears are known to be active, keep your sleeping area away from your cooking and food-storage area. Store food, garbage, and other items in vehicles or in bear-proof containers. If these are unavailable, hang food and other items with strong smell in a strong bag as high as possible in a tree.‎ ‎21. What does the underlined word “cub” mean in paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A. a place where a bear lives B. a young bear ‎ C. a male bear D. a bear’s paw ‎22. To avoid meeting with bears, we should_____.‎ ‎ A. make loud noises B. take no human food ‎ ‎ C. cook and store food in our sleeping area D. have meals in tent ‎23. Where does this passage probably come from?‎ A. A history textbook. B. A science fiction.‎ C. A traveler’s diary. D. A travel magazine.‎ B It was a mid-winter’s day. My Mom had ordered me and my two brothers outside so she could get a little housework done.‎ My brothers were seven and five years older than me and much bigger as well. Still, it was I who decided to start the snowball fight. I hit one of them when they weren’t looking and soon we were all making and throwing snowballs as fast as we could. Being little helped me avoid the first dozen or so snowballs that came my way until the ‎ one that caught me in the back of the head and sent me sliding into the two-foot-deep snowdrift. I felt two hands grasp my shoulders as my oldest brother lifted me out safely. I laughed as I dusted the snow off.‎ Later Mom called us back inside for a lunch of hot chicken soup. I drank it slowly and then sat near the old, wood stove in our living room and let the warmth quickly dry my damp socks and jeans. It felt so nice. I couldn’t describe the feeling back then but I know now that it was pure happiness.‎ In those innocent days of childhood there was no regret for the past or worry for the future. Each moment could be enjoyed just the way God intended. Each day could be filled with fun, laughter, and love. I think that we all need to re-experience that feeling in our lives. We need to live with childlike joy while keeping our adult wisdom. We need to throw a few snowballs and drink a few bowls of soup afterwards. We need to trust in our Heavenly Father's love for us and share our love with others as well. Life here is too brief not to enjoy all of its precious moments.‎ ‎24. The writer’s mother ordered the boys outside because ______‎ A. she wanted to punish them.‎ B. she wanted to do some housework.‎ C. she wanted them to do more outdoor exercises.‎ D. she wanted them to help her do housework outside. ‎ ‎25. Why could the writer avoid so many snowballs?‎ A. Because his figure was small.‎ B. Because he was the youngest.‎ C. Because he had quick reaction.‎ D. Because he was good at avoiding.‎ ‎26. What is the writer’s purpose in writing the text?‎ A. To show love between brothers.‎ B. To recall an experience in his childhood.‎ C. To show life should be enjoyed to the fullest.‎ D. To sing high praises of his mother’s greatness.‎ C It’s 4:35 p.m. You feel like the bottom of a marathoner’s shoe, flat and sore. It’s been a day of fighting anxiety, racing to meetings, staying awake, endless work, and trying to get stuff done. You are so upset and disappointed about your whole day’s productivity. It causes you unwilling to stay for one more minute at the office. But how to improve your productivity of your entire work on the end of the day?‎ The biggest step in this end-of-day process is to respond to as many emails as possible in thirty minutes of time. The majority of emails hit your inbox during workday hours. By responding to 80% of these or so, you can effectively reduce tomorrow’s workload. This is one of the biggest gains you can make towards your productivity. If you can get this done before tomorrow begins, you’ll be ahead of the game.‎ If you use your computer or mobile phone for scheduling your day or taking notes, you’ll want to keep them on. But please close whatever programs that are allowing email or chat messages to ruin your end-of-the-day productivity. Before turning off your computer, you should also exit your Internet browser, and close the web pages you had opened. If you start your new day by seeing those articles you were reading, you are starting in the wrong frame of mind. Each day deserves a fresh start. ‎ It's important to plan your day before it starts. Write down everything that’s on your mind that you need to do. A day that starts without a plan is like an engine that needs to warm up before it's safe to drive. Perform your planning the day before, because a day planned in advance allows you to jump in fully prepared, fully planned, and fully ready to get stuff done.‎ Your office space is known as an “environmental factor”. So it is important to have a cleaner. As Inc. com reported, dirty office can actually ruin your job performance. Then tiding up your office, you will become more productive. It’s just that simple. By doing so, you feel good with a peaceful state of mind, a sense of refreshment and energy, which will be enough for the following day.‎ ‎27. Which sentence has the closest meaning with the underlined sentence in paragraph 1?‎ ‎ A. Your feet hurt.‎ ‎ B. You feel tired out.‎ C. Your shoes are worn out.‎ ‎ D. You need a pair of marathoner’s shoes.‎ ‎28. How to deal with the emails in your inbox according to the passage?‎ ‎ A. Respond to 80% of the emails on weekends.‎ ‎ B. Respond to all of the emails during your workdays.‎ ‎ C. Respond to 80% of the emails before you finish your whole day’s work.‎ D. Respond to 80% of the emails at the beginning of your whole day’s work.‎ ‎29. What might be the author’s favorite way of starting a new day?‎ ‎ A. Reading a favorite book.‎ ‎ B. Making a plan for the day.‎ ‎ C. Cleaning up the workplace.‎ D. Doing a new task planned the day before.‎ ‎30. What’s the best title of the passage?‎ ‎ A. How to improve your productivity.‎ ‎ B. How to start a new working day.‎ ‎ C. How to make full use of your working day.‎ ‎ D. How to become more productive on the end of the day.‎ 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。‎ Practical Ways to Manage Stress at Home Most of us usually think home is our place of comfort. However, just in the workplace, there are a lot of things at home that get us stressed and anxious. 31 So how do you manage stress at home? Here are some practical ways to help：‎ ‎1. Treat your personal space as your temple of comfort. ‎ We easily get stressed because of lack of organization of the things around the house. Indeed，you may not have full control of what’s going on at home, but you ‎ do have control over your personal space, such as your room. It is recommended that you make it a habit to clean up your room regularly and decorate it to your own taste. ‎ ‎2. 32 ‎ When we are stressed, it is common for us to buy certain things, such as food and shopping items. Sure, you may feel like that retail therapy(购物疗法)is effective, but storing various items into your home creates a new kind of stress that’s difficult to deal with. 33 Find ones that allow you to feel good without taking anything home. ‎ ‎3. Have some friends over once in a while. ‎ Throwing a small house party is also a good way to set aside the stress you feel at home. 34 You also get different views on various topics, and you may use these in handling the same issues you feel at home. ‎ Stress can be effectively managed using the right methods. So yes, whenever you’re at home, you may want to look at your stressors(压力源) in a more positive light. From there you can find ways to get rid of them one by one, step by step. 35 ‎ A. Make it a point to get rid of the mess.‎ B. Spend time with the people you live with.‎ C. Keep yourself from storing stuff into your home.‎ D. This is because with them over, you see new faces.‎ E. These include the household tasks, the bills, the repairs, and the people we live with.‎ F. Therefore, it is better to look for other ways to relieve yourself of stress and anxiety.‎ G.

He was at home with his elder sister Jane. Tom was doing his homework ‎ when he heard raised voices. At first he thought nothing of it since customers in the motorcycle shop directly below their flat often became loud, but he soon realized this time it was different.‎ ‎“Quick! Quick! Remove the motorcycles from the shop.” someone yelled.‎ Then a thick burning smell filled the air. When Tom opened the front door of their flat to investigate, a thick cloud of smoke greeted him. The motorcycle shop had caught fire and people were running and crying.‎ Jane, who had been playing the violin in her room, hurried to the living room. They rushed out of the door and along the corridor（走廊）through the smoke.‎ They were heading towards the stairway at the far end of the corridor when Jane stopped in her track. She turned around and headed back the way they came. Tom had no idea what she was doing, but he followed suit.‎ Jane had suddenly remembered the lady in her 70s who lived next door to them, who they called Makcik, Malay for auntie. Jane began banging on Makcik’s door, but got no answer. As the smoke thickened around them, Tom could see many of their neighbors—some still in their pajamas —running for safety. The thought of fear crossed his mind.‎ ‎“She would have run for safety like everyone else!” Tom cried. However, Jane refused to give up. “I know Makcik’s still inside.” She said she was familiar with Makcik’s daily routine and was certain she would still be sleeping. She pounded(击打) the door. “Go downstairs. Go now!

Time seemed to stand still, though they were probably there for only two or three minutes. Tom begged Jane to run for safety as ‎ quickly as possible. Jane tried to protect her nose from the choking smoke and shook her head. She kept pounding against the door. Tom burst out crying.‎ Paragraph 2:‎ Luckily, some neighbors passing by stopped and offered help. A sense of strength immediately replaced the mounting fear and anxiety in Jane’s mind. She told them Ms. Makcik must be still in the room. They forced the door open with all their strength. Sure enough, Makcik was lying in bed, unconscious. She was carried downstairs and then rushed to the hospital, where she finally came to herself. People in the neighborhood felt relieved. Jane and Tom were praised for their bravery.‎
