For example, if in the past, someone in Dad’s family had been arrested for stealing a horse, it would be ‘a skeleton in his family’s closet’. He really wouldn’t want any neighbor to know about it.”‎ ‎“Why pick on my family?” Jessica’s father said with anger. “Your family history isn’t so good, you know. Wasn’t you great – great grandfather a prisoner who was transported to Australia for his crimes?” “Yes, but people these days say that you are not a real Australian unless your ancestors arrived as prisoners.” “Gosh, sorry I asked. I think I understand now,” Jessica cut in before things grew worse.‎ After dinner, the house was very quiet. Jessica’s parents were still quite angry with each other. Her mother was ironing clothes and every now and then she glared at her husband, who hid behind his newspaper pretending to read. When she finished, she gathered the freshly pressed clothes in her arms and walked to Jessica’s closet. Just as she opened the door and reached in to hang a skirt, a bony arm stuck out from the dark depths and a bundle of white bones fell to the floor. Jessica’s mother sank into a faint (晕倒), waking only when Jessica put a cold, wet cloth on her forehead. She looked up to see the worried faces of her husband and daughter.‎ ‎“What happened? Where am I?” she asked. “You just destroyed the school’s skeleton, Mum,” explained Jessica. “I brought it home to help me with my health project. I meant to tell you, but it seemed that as soon as I mentioned skeletons and closets, it caused a problem between you and Dad.” Jessica looked in amazement as her parents began to laugh madly. “They’re both crazy,” she thought.‎ ‎56．According to Jessica’s mother, “a skeleton in the closet” means .‎ ‎ A．a family honor B．a family secret C．a family story D．a family treasure ‎57．What can we learn about some Australian’s ancestors from Paragraph 2?‎ ‎ A．They were brought to Australia as prisoners.‎ ‎ B．They were the earliest people living in Australia.‎ ‎ C．They were involved in some crimes in Australia.‎ ‎ D．They were not regarded as criminals in their days.‎ ‎58．Jessica’s mother fell down into a faint because she was .‎ ‎ A．knocked B．frightened C．injured D．surprised ‎59．Why did Jessica bring a skeleton home?‎ ‎ A．She was curious about it.

Most people, and many animals, like eating it. However, the only way for them to get that honey is to find a wild bees' nest and take the honey from it. Often, these nests are high up in trees, and it is difficult to find them. In parts of Africa, though, people and animals looking for honey have a strange and unexpected helper - a little bird called a honey guide.‎ The honey guide does not actually like honey, but it does like the wax in the beehives (蜂房). The little bird cannot reach this wax, which is deep inside the bees' nest. So, when it finds a suitable nest, it looks for someone to help it. The honey guide gives a loud cry that attracts the attention of both passing animals and people. Once it has their attention, it flies through the forest, waiting from time to time for the curious animal or person as it leads them to the nest. When they finally arrive at the nest, the follower reaches in to get at the delicious honey as the bird patiently waits and watches. Some of the honey, and the wax, always falls to the ground, and this is when the honey guide takes its share.‎ Scientists do not know why the honey guide likes eating the wax, but it is very determined in its efforts to get it. The birds seem to be able to smell wax from a long distance away. They will quickly arrive whenever a beekeeper is taking honey from his beehives, and will even enter churches when beeswax candles are being lit.‎ ‎64.

Although our "act" would last only for a short time, we could see quite a number of interesting things.‎ ‎ We all stood at the far end of the studio as workmen prepared the scene, setting up trees at the edge of a winding path.Very soon, bright lights were turned on and the big movie-camera was wheeled into position. The director shouted something to the camera operator and then went to speak to the two famous actors nearby. Since it was hot in the studio, it came as a surprise to us to see one of the actors put on a heavy overcoat and start walking along the path. A big fan began blowing tiny white feathers down on him, and soon the trees were covered in "snow". Two more fans were turned on, and a "strong wind" blew through the trees. The picture looked so real that it made us feel cold.‎ ‎ The next scene was a complete contrast(对比).The way it was filmed was quite unusual. Pictures taken on an island in the Pacific were shown on a glass screen. An actor and actress stood in front of the scene so that they looked as if they were at the water's edge on an island. By a simple trick like this, palm trees, sandy beaches, and blue, clear skies had been brought into the studio!‎ ‎ Since it was our turn next, we were left wondering what scene would be prepared for us. For a full three minutes in our lives we would be experiencing the excitement of being film “Stars”!‎ ‎68. Who is the author? ‎ A. A cameraman. B. A film director.‎ C. A crowd-scene actor D. A workman for scene setting ‎69. What made the author feel cold?‎ A. The heavy snowfall. B. The man-made scene.‎ C. The low temperature. D. The film being shown.‎ ‎70. What would happen in the "three minutes" mentioned, in the last paragraph?‎ A. A new scene would be filmed.‎ B. More stars would act in the film.‎ C. The author would leave the studio.‎ D. The next scene would be prepared.‎ 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。‎ We are humans, and we all make mistakes. The mistakes that we make are not usually on purpose, whether it is breaking a vase, or not completing a task. 71 This article will provide you with ideas as to what to do once a mistake has been made.‎ ‎ Admit that you make a mistake as soon as you discover it. Delaying it longer will only make you feel worse, or may drive you toward making the wrong decision to try and cover it up.‎ ‎ 72 Do not play the “blame game”. Most people are smart enough to realize that this is just a poor attempt to protect yourself. Perhaps you gave a task to another person and it was never completed. But is it really the entire fault of the person you gave the task to or is it partially your fault for not following up? Keep this in mind before placing the blame on someone else.‎ ‎ 73 Maybe you broke your mother’s favorite vase, or even forgot a friend’s birthday. Just an apology can sometimes be viewed as a “quick fix”, and apologizing and asking to be forgiven gives the person and opportunity to forgive you.‎ ‎ Offer some compensation (补偿) for loss, damage, or injury caused. 74 By doing this, it may 11‎ ‎ soften the blow to the person we’ve disappointed.‎ ‎ Learn from your mistakes. In the case of a job or a task, write a “to-do” list with the deadline before leaving the meeting. As for forgetting a birthday, put the birthday on an electronic calendar for next year.‎ ‎ Do better next time. 75 We should try to understand what happened and try to make sure that it won’t happen again.‎ A. Take responsibility.‎ B. Never repeat your mistakes.‎ C. Apologize and ask for forgiveness.‎ D. People’s faith in us can reduce quickly.‎ E. So sometimes it is necessary to write a letter to say sorry.‎ F. But not everyone knows how to admit to making a mistake.‎ G. Offer to immediately complete the late task or pay for the vase.‎ ‎ ‎ 第四部分 写作（共三节，满分 45分）‎ 第一节：单词拼写并填在横线上（共10分）。‎ 1. He raised his arms to p__________________(保护) his head from blows.‎ 2.
