【正文】 got up and took a cookie with some other classmates. Now I felt more at ease. We laughed about how “greedy” we were. The “cookie crisis” had taught me a lesson. I would have to be less shy in the United States. Here was a mixed and various culture, and if I wanted to get anywhere I would have to brave its newness and difference and make myself heard, just as the teacher had said. Otherwise, “ Nobody is going to feed you.” It was something a person new to the US, such as myself, needed to learn. 21. The atmosphere in a US classroom is quite __________. A. lively B. lonely C. bad D. quiet 22. What does the underlined phrase “ aloof from” mean? A. in spite of B. instead of C. apart from D. away from 23. What prevented the writer from getting a cookie for himself at first? A. His bravery. B. His shyness. C. His strangeness. D. His weakness. 24. The “cookie crisis” in the last paragraph was __________ to the writer. A. an important problem B. a kind of valuable food C. a turning point in his life attitude D. a dream in his school life B Monday 2nd January I am in a small village in the Carpathian Mountains, north of Bucharest, the capital of Romania. I’ ve e to see the brown bears, which e to the villages at night to look for food. They walk 20 kilometres a night to get here. A farmer told me that some of his sheep have been killed by bears. But this is unusual. Usually, the bears just take bits of food which people have thrown away. Tonight I hope I’ ll see them. Tuesday 3rd January Last night I waited with a group of tourists and as it grew dark, we saw the huge black shapes of bears. It seems the bears don’ t go for people, unless they are attacked first. They were not afraid of the tourists, who took photos of them. Those clever bears knew where to go for their dinner. They jumped straight into the rubbish, where there was lots of food which people had thrown away. Wednesday 4th January Although it’ s wonderful to see the bears in the village, it can only mean one thing: their habitat is disappearing. They would prefer to stay hidden in the mountain forests, but the trees have been cut down for firewood. So they cannot find enough food any more. Thursday 5th January Today I met the head of the Carpathian Animal Protection Group. He says that there are only about 2,500 bears left, and is worried that they will soon bee extinct. Rich people from other countries pay a lot of money to e and shoot the bears for sport. The poor people from these villages need the money. But perhaps they could make more money from the tourists who want to e just watch the bears。 Every student has tests when they are at school. But have you ever been so worried about the tests that you can’t fall asleep at night? Have you ever felt sick or h a d a h e a d a c h e d u r i n g a t e s t ? 36 . This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, frustrated, scared, or afraid which can give you a stomachache or a headache. 37 . Good or normal stress might happen when you are called to answer a question in class or when you have to give a speech. This kind of stress can help you to get things better done. 38 . But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over a long time. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if a family member is ill, if you are having problems at school, or if you are going through anything else that makes you upset every day. 39 . 40 . That means making good decision about how to spend your time. If you are only dealing with school stuff and have no time to play, you can get stressed. Make sure you keep your SELF in mind: Sleep, Exercise, Leisure and Food. If you take care of yourself and get enough sleep and food, and if you exercise and leave time for fun stuff, you will probably be less stressed out! A. However, there are two different kinds of stress. B. Can you tell a kind of stress from another one? C. The best way to keep stress away is to have a balanced life. D. That kind of stress isn’t going to help you, and it can actually make you sick. E. Since bad stress is harmful for us, you’d better try to change it into good stress. F. If so, then you know what stress is. Stress is what you feel when you are worried or unfortable about something. G. For example, you may do a better job on your test if the stress pushes you to prepare well before the test. 第三部分 英語知識(shí)運(yùn)用（共兩節(jié)，滿分 45分） 第一節(jié) 完形填空（共 20小題；每小題 ；滿分 30分） 閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的四個(gè)選項(xiàng) (A、 B、 C、 D)中，選出可以填入空白處的最佳選項(xiàng)，并在答題卡上 將該項(xiàng)涂黑。 __61_ the improvement of life standards， there are a growing number of people travelling each year, ___62__ is a good way to enjoy life.
