第二部分 阅读与写作（共四节, 满分 55 分）

第一节（共 10 小题, 每小题2分, 计 20 分）

阅读下面两篇短文, 根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

A

Jonny, a 15-year-old student, is checking his dad’s old jacket. He says, “You’re 45. Dad, you’re never going to wear this again. Can I have it?”

Keith has had a bad day at work, and he is feeling old. And Jonny has hit his pain. Keith raises his voice and says, “What? You mean I’m too old to wear the jacket again?”

Jonny feels like this has come out of nowhere, and now he feels hurt. But I only asked, “Why are you shouting at me?”

“But I don’t like being treated as though I’m too old.” Both of them feel a bit upset.

Have you ever had a similar argument with the people around you? Here are some tips for you to remember when you’re getting mad.

● Accept your feelings and consider the other person’s feelings. That means not always making yourself “right” or “clever” and the other person “wrong” or “stupid”.

● Explain yourself and not the other person, so you can speak out your ideas by starting with “I” but not “You”.

● Don’t always have to reflect before reacting（回应）. If you feel angry, I think it’s a good idea to stop for a moment and understand why.

●Don’t decide the purpose of the other person by your guessing. Try to work out what he or she is feeling, and admit（承认）it if you were wrong.

Don’t forget that it’s never too late to start the ways of communicating.

B

When we first moved here, we didn’t have a garden. Mike and I talked about making a large vegetable garden somewhere in our yard, but we couldn’t agree on where. Before we went ahead and dug up the grass, we spent some time thinking about where it would work best. At last, we chose an old sandbox（沙坑）in our front yard to become our garden.

We dreamed about a lively garden with lots of vegetables. We asked many people what we should do to turn this sandbox into a space, then plants can grow in it. And they gave us lots of ideas. My sister was the most knowledgeable, so we listened mostly to her. At first, Mike made a wood fence（栅栏）and I painted it with the kids. We chose a darker color because it would fit our light grey house.

Next Mike dug 17 holes. Then we filled them with soil（土壤）. It was still too cold to plant anything, so for days I just stared out the window at these holes. To me, it looked much too untidy. I advised to fill those holes back and dig new ones. This time we ended up with 10. Much better.

Over the next few weeks, I worked on getting everything planted in my garden. I started by planting green onion. But I was too excited and planted it too early. Right away it was clear that it wasn’t going to survive. I had to give it up and try something else. Then my next door neighbor gave me red roses to put in my garden. A few days later we went to a greenhouse and came back not with green onion but peppers, tomatoes and so on. Clearly the vegetable and flower garden was slowly becoming our dream garden. Oh well!

I love the way it turned out. This garden will always remind me of my sister.
