A

   Vehicles often come into conflict with other vehicles and pedestrians when their intended courses of travel intersect(交叉), and end up being in each other's way. The general principle that establishes who has the right to go first is called “right of way”，or “priority”. It determines who has the right to use the conflicting part of the road and who has to wait. Signs, signals, markings and other features are often used to make priority clear.

   A driver must yield(让行) the right of way to other drivers：

●When approaching a YIELD sign. Slow down or stop to avoid a crash.

●Even after the light turns green when there are vehicles in the intersection.

●When approaching emergency vehicles using sounding or flashing sirens.

●After coming to a complete stop at an intersection where there is a stop sign or a flashing red signal. If there is no stop line, stop before the crosswalk.

●When making a left turn on a red light after a stop from a one­way street to another one­way street with traffic moving to the left. (See Figure A．)

●When two vehicles on different roadways arrive at a four­way stop intersection at the same time, the vehicle should yield to the vehicle on its night. (See Figure B．)

●When coming out of an alley, building, private road or driveway after coming to a complete stop. (See Figure C．)

●When crossing traffic at the end of a “T” road with no traffic control signs or signals. (See Figure D．)

1．What's the purpose of the text?

   When I was a boy, our extended, immigrant family would sometimes gather at my aunt's tiny house over the summer. Relatives from all over the country would come to visit. The adults would crowd together in the living room to talk and catch up on each other's lives. And the kids would be sent out into the front yard to play when dinner was slowly cooked for all of us.

     Those were the days before video games, smart phones, and motorized toys, so we often ended up playing an old game. I remember one of those moments especially. As I was the youngest and smallest of all the kids there, I got caught first and couldn't catch anyone else. My brothers and cousins were all too fast for me, and I grew more and more frustrated. Finally my face fell first into the dirt. I got up with tears forming in my eyes. Then I saw one of my female cousins Susan standing there. She started to run but was going much slower than before. I easily caught up and seized her. Then she turned to me, smiled, and said，“I'm it! You'd better run！” I ran off laughing with glee while she turned and started to chase others.

      Now I see how her act of kindness that day saved me from sadness and made my joy return. It didn't matter that we hardly ever saw each other. I know we are family and she loves me.

     In her wonderful book Box of Butterflies, Roma Downey writes, “We are all one, we all belong to each other, and we are one big, beautiful family.” Perhaps it is time we all started to treat each other that way. Perhaps it is time we shared our love, our kindness, our laughter, and our joy with everyone without fear. Perhaps it is time to finally and forever bring this world together in one big family reunion.

4．When the adults were chatting, the kids would ________.

A．play video games   B．sit in the front yard

C．learn to cook dinner  D．play traditional games

5．The author was able to catch Susan because ________.

A．the others ran too fast  B．the author was good at running

C．Susan gave her a chance  D．Susan wanted to chase others

6．What can be inferred from the passage?

A．The author is grateful for what Susan did to her.

B．The author can't meet Susan any more.

C．The author urges others to love their family.

D．The author believes the world will become a big family.

7．What could be the best title of the passage?

A．A memory of my childhood  B．Sharing of goodness unites us

C．Kindness brightens our life  D．A good deed is invaluable

C

     Most dog owners are convinced that their four­legged friends know exactly what they mean when they use certain words like “sit”， “stay” or “treat”. However, researchers have always wondered whether dogs really understand human speech or if they rely on other information to get the meaning. For example, does the word “fetch” form a picture of a stick or ball in the dog's mind, or does the dog bring back the object based on the owner's voice or gesture? A new study by scientists at Atlanta's Emory University seems to indicate that “man's best friend” does indeed know what the owner is saying.

      The researchers began by asking the owners of twelve dogs of various kinds to train their pets to identify two toys of different materials, such as a toy animal and a ball. Once the dogs had mastered the task, they took turns inside a special scanner. The owners then tested their dog's language skill by first calling out the names of the toys they had been trained to recognize and then saying meaningless words such as “bobbu” and “bodmick” while holding up random objects the dogs hadn't seen before.

   The scans suggested that the parts of the dogs' brains responsible for processing sounds showed different brain patterns when they heard words they were familiar with, compared with the ones they had never heard before. While that was not enough to prove that the dogs were picturing their toys when they heard the word, it did indicate some sort of recognition. The researchers believe this is an important step in understanding how dogs process language.

     Something even more interesting was that the dog's brains showed a higher level of neural(神经的) activity at the sound of unknown words. This is the exact opposite of what happens in human brains, which get more active at the sound of familiar words. The researchers say the dogs may become cheerful at the sound of new words to try to understand them in the hope of delighting their masters. “Dogs want to please their owners, and perhaps also want to receive praise or food，” says Emory neuroscientist Gregory Berns, senior author of the study.

      However, though your pet may understand human speech, the scientists recommend using visual signals and smell for training. “When people want to teach their dog a trick, they often use spoken commands  because that's what we humans prefer，” Prichard says. “From the dog's view, however, a visual command might be more effective, helping the dog learn the trick faster.”

8．What's the purpose of the new study?

A．To convince dog owners to understand their dogs.

B．To advise dog owners to treat their dogs kindly.

C．To prove dogs follow owners' order by listening.

D．To test out how dogs get information from owners.

9．What does the author intend to do in Paragraph 2?

A．Inform the result of the research.

B．State the process of the research.

C．Stress the importance of the research.

D．Introduce the subjects of the research.

10．How do human brains and dog brains react to words?

A．Human brains become active in unfamiliar words.

B．Dog brains become delighted at unfamiliar words.

C．Human brains are not sensitive to familiar words.

D．Dog brains show no response to familiar words.

11．What do scientists advise the owners to do in dog training?

A．Give dogs oral commands.  B．Teach dogs new tricks.

C．Involve sight and smell.  D．Encourage faster learning.

 Every year around the world, humans waste an estimated 1.3 billion tons of food. This happens even though many people go hungry. So some people have made it their life's work claiming food before it goes to waste and then giving it to people who are hungry.

       One of those people is Brett Myers. In 2011, Myers started Nourish Now, a food recovery and food bank in the U．S. state of Maryland. This non­profit organization collects food and then gives it to the poor and organizations that support them.

     “Nourish Now is a food recovery­based food bank that recovers food from restaurants, catering companies, grocery stores, hotels, farms and more. And then donates that food directly to families in need, kids in need at local schools.”

    Each month, it recovers more than 20,000 kilograms of food and serves 700 needy families, schools and social organizations. Every day, staff and volunteers repackage the donations and distribute them to recipients(接受者)．

   A woman named Rhoda is one of the recipients. She describes the quality of the food delivered to her family by Nourish Now. “It consists of fresh food, fruits and vegetables. You will get bread. Sometimes you get dairy Products such as yogurt or milk. And you will get some meat items also. And if you get lucky you might get cooked food, or prepared salads, and stuff like that.”

      The supplies can feed a family for five days. Each recipient is able to receive food every 30 days. And the packages are made to fit the dietary needs of each family.

     Besides families, the organization also donates small meals called snacks to several nearby schools and social organizations.

   Nourish Now has grown considerably since it opened. Brenda is one of them. Part of her job as a volunteer is to make sure that none of the food goes to waste.

      “In the morning, I make sure that all the things that came late yesterday get put away so that we use that last, and we used the things that came the day before first, so that we're always giving fresh food and we're not throwing out anything.”

12．What do we know about Nourish Now?

A．It donates money to the poor.  B．It benefits from collecting food.

C．It gets food from many places.  D．It distributes food only to the poor.

13．What does the underlined word “them” in Paragraph 2 refer to?

A．Nourish Now.  B．Food banks.

C．The poor.  D．Organizations.

14．What does the author want to clarify with the example Rhoda in Paragraph 5?

A．She can get food donations every five days.

B．She isn't satisfied with the food supplied.

C．Eating better can keep people healthier.

D．The recovered food is fresh and rich.

15．What is the best title for the text?

A．A Group Uses Leftover Food to Feed the Hungry

B．The Poor Are Suffering from Starvation

C．Nourish Now Calls on People to Save Food

D．People Should Take Care of the Weak

 Whoever wrote the song “It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year” must have never experienced the holiday blues. Fortunately, psychological research suggests some effective ways you can use to beat the holiday blues. The key point is that sadness and other tough emotions are not what we should try to avoid. __16__. Here are four strategies to help you make your own happiness recipe this holiday season.

Don't force cheer

      At family gatherings with cousins you secretly can't stand, you tend to put on a happy face. Indeed, that might even seem like the most mature response－no drama, no conflict. But a 2011 study followed dozens of bus drivers, looking to see when they gave forced or honest smiles at their passengers. The results showed when the drivers pretended to have a good mood, their actual moods got worse. __17__.

Let out sadness

    The results of the bus­driver study can be explained by researchers, who find that negative feelings like sadness or anger only increase when we try to control them. __18__. We don't like contradictory behavior.

Respond cautiously

      Recently, scientists have been paying special attention to the benefits of caution. When you respond cautiously to an emotional trigger, you pause rather than react at once. __19__. Besides, it is associated with less anxiety, and may even carry physiological benefits.

__20__

      Of course, the holidays will bring a mix of highs and lows, but the most important lesson to keep in mind is that this variety of emotions might be the best thing possible for your overall well­being. In other words, sadness, anger, and other difficult emotions are nothing to fear. Just make sure you're balancing them with lighter experiences. And don't forget to give yourself a break.

A．Relax your mind

B．Enjoy a mix of emotions

C．We tend to deny the important function emotions serve

D．Instead, they can help contribute to a healthy and happy life

E．So trying to force happiness seems to have the opposite effects

F．A cautious response to a negative event reduces sadness we experience

G．We feel bad when our appearance contradicts how we truly feel inside

This girl, however, __29__ a big smile, saying “Thank you”. It's a tiny thing and she probably didn't even __30__ its effect. But I could suppose she __31__ appreciated it. It wasn't until she was in the __32__ and walking past that I found she was a beautiful girl, so I'm not the first person to open a door for her. I just got back from Florida, was dirty and __33__  and hadn't even showered yet. I am 99% sure it had nothing to do with my __34__. I can only assume she was actually grateful.

阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。

Monty Roberts owns a horse ranch  (牧场)  in San Francisco. He is willing to help the young who want to pursue their dreams. We were always curious about the reason behind it and one day he told us his story.

When Monty was young, he was the son of an itinerant (四处奔波的) horse trainer who would go from stables to stables, racetracks to racetracks, farms to farms and ranches to ranches, training horses. As a result, his high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.

That night he wrote a seven－page paper describing the goal of owning a horse ranch some day.  He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200－acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the tracks. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4, 000－square－foot house that would sit on a 200－acre dream ranch.

He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to the teacher.  Two days later he received his paper back.  On the front was a large red F with a note that read，“See me after class.”

The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked,  “Why did I receive an F？”

The teacher said,  “This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you.  You have no money.  You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money.  You have to buy the land.  You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you'll have to pay large stud(种马) fees. There's no way you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “If you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade. ”

注意：1.续写词数应为150左右；

2．请按如下格式作答。
