Every previous year on Thanksgiving Day I’d woken up early, filled with excitement. But that Thanksgiving, for some reason I saw no reason to celebrate. None of my family were really thankful, I realized. The whole thing was a lie!During the dinner time, I left, hiding in the guest room and cried. My mom came to see what was wrong. “No one is really thankful!” I sobbed, “They just pretend for one day because that’s what they’re supposed to do!”After I finished talking, she nodded. “You’re right,” she told me. “It’s fake until you find the truth for yourself.” She said it was my choice whether to celebrate with them or not. She said Thanksgiving is a time to reflect because we don’t always get to see loved ones and eat a good meal. Then she left.I didn’t listen to her, thinking that every holiday was a lie and I could never find joy celebrating again. But giving in to my starving stomach, I went back to the dining room in a few minutes. I couldn’t believe what I saw. My entire extended family was waiting for me with wide smiles and concerned looks, and the table was covered with untouched plates.“Andy,” my aunt said, “We can’t eat without you. We’re waiting for your turn. Now you can start it.” I didn’t know what to say first. Finally, I said I was thankful for having a younger brother to teach, play with, and see grow.The family shared, and everyone had something beautiful to say. Listening to what they said, I suddenly understood what my mom meant about finding out my own reason for celebrating. For me, this holiday was a chance to pause and reflect on everything I cared about.And with that, I took a huge and satisfying bite of food.4.Why did the author hide himself and cry on the Thanksgiving Day? A. Because he got up too lateB. Because some of his family were absent.C. Because he thought the dinner was tasteless.D. Because he doubted the sincerity of others’ thankfulness.5.What can we know about the author’s mother according to the text?A. She is very understanding. B. She is strict with the author.C. She disagreed with the author. D. She showed great worry about the author.6.What does the underlined word “it” in Paragraph 5 refer to?A. Having dinner. B. Expressing thankfulness. C. Giving a performance. D. Making a wish.7.Which of the following can be the best title for the text? A. My loving mother B. Love and liesC. An inspiring Thanksgiving D. An unforgettable dinnerCSometimes people call each other “scared­-cat”. But have you ever thought about this expression? When a cat is frightened, its heart starts beating faster, its muscles get tense and there are changes in the chemicals in its bloodstream. Although the cat doesn’t realize this, its body is getting ready for action. If the danger continues, the animal will do one of two things. It will protect itself, or it will run away as fast as it can.Something like this also happens to people. When we are excited, angry or scared by other feelings, our bodies go through many physical changes. Our hearts beat faster，andour muscles get tense. All of these changes make us more alert and ready to react. We, too, get ready to defend ourselves or run.Human beings, however, have a problem that animals never face. If we give way to our feelings and let them take over, we can get into trouble. Have you ever said something in anger or hit somebody and regretted it later? Have you ever shouted at a teacher, told somebody you were lonely, or said you were in love, and then wished lateryou had kept your mouth shut？It isn’t always clever to express your feelings freely.Does this mean that it’s smarter to always hide our feelings？No！If you keep feelings of anger, sadness hidden away or bottled up inside, your body stays tense. Physical illness can develop, and you can feel disturbed badly inside. It can actually be bad for your health. It isn’t good to keep pleasant feelings inside either; all feelings need to be expressed.Feelings that you keep all bottled up inside, don’t just go away. It’s as if you bought some bananas and put them in a cupboard. You might not be able to see them, but before long you’d smell them. And if you opened the cupboard, chances are that you’d see little fruit flies flying all over them. They are bad.You can try to treat feelings as if they were bananas in the cupboard. You can hide them and you can pretend they don’t exist, but they’ll still be around. And at last you’ll have to deal with them, just like those bananas.8. When people and animals are aroused by fear, _ . A. they may get ready to attack or run awayB. their muscles get neither tense nor relaxedC. their hearts beat either faster or slowerD. they feel very regretful immediately9. Why do human beings get into trouble according to the passage? A. They are usually not as alert as animals.B. They always do something wrong to other people. C. They sometimes can’t control their feelings.D. They don’t pay attention to their physical changes.10. What can we infer from the passage?A. Feelings will gradually disappear when you hold them in. B. Bananas stay fresh longer when they are in a cupboard.C. Holding in your feelings may lead to unpleasant results.D. It’s good for your health to keep pleasant feelings inside.11. What is the purpose of this passage?A. To tell us that people’s feelings are like bananas in a cupboard.B. To give us some advice on how to express our feelings.C. To prove that it isn’t always wise to express our feelings freely.D. To help us deal with feelings in a wise and proper way.DJournalists need to be able to report the facts without unfairness and use only the right ways to get these facts. Unfortunately, not every journalist always does this.Sting (圈套) operations to get a story are causing a lot of argument. They involveleading a well-known person into a false situation with the hope that they will do something newsworthy.For example, in 2010 a newspaper accused the professional snooker player John Higgins of taking money to throw a game. Higgins and his manager met with two men who said they would give him money if he lost matches on purpose. The meeting, which took place in a hotel room, was planned and secretly filmed by the newspaper. Higgins agreed to do it but said later that he had only done so because he thought the two men were criminals and he had been frightened. It turned out that they were reporters from the newspaper itself.While sting operations might be legal, phone-hacking (电话窃听) is certainly not. In2007, the editor of a leading UK newspaper and a private detective had hacked into hundreds of voicemail messages of people who worked for the British royal family. The information they got was used in newspapers.Although the editor said he regretted doing this and apologized, the judge sentenced him to four months in prison. He warned other journalists not to make the same mistake. Since then though, many famous people such as Jude Law and Sienna Miller have been subjected to illegal phone-hacking by journalists.The paparazzi (狗仔队) are famous for following the rich and famous hoping to get aphotograph to sell to the papers. In the last years of her life, singer Amy Winehouse was followed by photographers everywhere she went, and it got so bad that in 2009 she went to court and asked a judge to stop them. The judge warned the journalists and ordered the photographers to stay away from her home. Many other famous persons also need similar court orders to protect themselves and their families.12. What happened to Higgins in 2010?A. He was tricked by two journalists. B. He was threatened by his manager. C. He lost a lot of money. D. He met two criminals.13. How was the UK editor punished?A. He was kept separate from the famous. B. He was asked to leave the newspaper. C. He was warned seriously. D. He was put into prison.14. Who was a victim of the paparazzi?A. Amy Winehouse B. Sienna Miller C. John Higgins D. Jude Law15. What would be the best title for the text?A. Good newspapers, heavy duties B. Being responsible reportersC. Making interesting news D. Bad ways, bad news 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。有两项为多余选项。阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，然后从题后所给的四个选项(A、B、C 和 D)中，选出 最佳选项，并在答题纸上将该选项标号涂黑。I got on the bus to go to school as normally do.
