       For Kylie Jacobs, a young cancer patient, even a slight fever meant a stay in hospital; when she did go home, her health was so poor that she couldn’t play or go to school. While the seven-year-old often felt hopeless, a visit from a special guest helped her forget, just for a moment. “Seeing Petie helps take her attention away from what she’s been missing. And, Petie is very special because there’s only one Petie,” said Eric Jacobs, Kylie’s dad.

       Petie is a little therapy（治疗）horse. He’s bigger than a therapy dog, but much smaller than a horse. The 25-year-old horse visits children in Akron Children’s Hospital and Rainbow Babies & Children Hospital in Cleveland. He’s been volunteering for eighteen years and has no plans to stop.

       “A visit from Petie is kind of fun and something they weren’t expecting,” owner Sue Miller said. “It just takes away why they are there.” Miller and her husband, who own a horse therapy center, got Petie more than eighteen years ago. They first let him visit schools and nursing homes. Then Miller wondered if Petie could help at children’s hospitals and she came to the hospital in Akrn. At first the officials were uncertain about his performance, but they decided to allow Petie to visit in a nearby building. As trust grew, he moved to the main hospital.

       Petie is not just able to make children cry with joy and forget their problems. Miller remembers a moment when Petie walked up to the bedside of an unconscious boy, then dropped his head to gently rub the boy’s hand. Without waking, the boy started petting Petie. As everyone watched in silence, a doctor noticed that Petie slowed his breathing to match the boy’s.

       “It was just a beautiful moment,” said Miller. “I am just so lucky that I get a chance to be part of this horse’s life and what he gets to do for others.”

58. What can we learn from the Paragraph 1?

   A. Petie is a friend of Kylie Jacobs.

   B. Petie can cure Kylie of her illness.

   C. Petie’s visit is helpful to Kylie.

   D. Kylie always forgets something.

59. What does Miller mean by saying the underlined words in Paragraphs 3?

   A. Petie has found happiness at hospital.

   B. Petie helps kids forget their suffering.

   C. Kids give much comfort to Petie.

   D. Kids are expecting Petie’s visits.

60. What was the hospital’s attitude to Petie at first?

   A. Satisfied.                    B. Hopeful.                   C. Doubtful.                 D. Disappointed.

61. What can we infer from the moment mentioned by Miller?

   A. Petie hoped to help the boy get better.

   B. Petie brought the boy back to consciousness.

   C. Petie was afraid of the boys’ unconsciousness.

   D. Peite helped improve the boy’s breathing ability.

How to keep a nearly lost friendship alive（七选五）

  There are times when a friendship has to go through huge tests. It is a battle between staying together and moving away from each other.   36    More often than not, it is pride that destroys a friendship.

  Relax your pride. This is easy to say, but very difficult to do. You may ask yourself, “Why should I say sorry when he does not show any regret for what he has done?”   37   If you find yourself saying any of these things, you should understand that it is your pride talking. Allowing your pride to control your feelings will leave you bitter and confused.

  Talk about the problem. Face the problem calmly.   38   it may sound silly, but it could certainly heal the wounds that you have caused each other. If you avoid facing the problem, your pain will only grow. Remember, you want to keep the friendship and not worsen the problem.

  Laugh about it.   39    After some time, when both of you have become calm and renewed your confidence in each other, go back to the time when you had nearly fallen apart. Laugh about your foolishness, and promise to never let pride take over your friendship.

  Friendship is a valuable thing.   40   Rapport（融洽的关系）is what creates a friendship. Love, understanding, acceptance and forgiveness are what lead to a long-lasting friendship.

A. Try to save your friendship.

B. It cannot be bought or demanded.

C. It is often said that laughter is the best medicine.

D. Do not wait for the other person to make the first move.

E. There are many complex reasons why a friendship falls out.

F. Write a letter and read it out loud to the other person.

G. You may also say, “I have not done anything wrong, and I don’t want to say sorry.”

What time is it? Most people are pretty accurate in their answer. And if you don’t know for sure, it’s a very likely that you can find out. There may be a watch on your wrist, there may be a clock on the wall, desk, or computer screen; or maybe you’re riding in a car that has a clock in the dashboard (仪表板).

Even if you don’t have a timepiece of some sort nearby, your body keeps its own beat. Humans have an internal clock that regulates (调节) the beating of our heart, the pace of our breathing, the discharge (排出) of chemicals within our bloodstream, and many other bodily functions.

Time is something from which we can’t escape. Even if we ignore it, it’s still going by, ticking away, second by second, minute by minute, hour by hour. So the main issue in using your time well is, “Who’s in charge?” We can allow time to slip by and let it be our enemy. Or we can take control of it and make it our ally.

By taking control of how you spend your time, you’ll increase your chances of becoming a more successful student. Perhaps more importantly, the better you are at managing the time you devote to your studies, the more time you’ll have to spend on your outside interests.

The aim of time management is not to schedule every moment so we become slaves of a timetable that governs every waking moment of the day. Instead, the aim is to make informed choices as to how we use our time. Rather than letting the day go by, largely without our awareness, what we are going to discuss next can make us better able to control time for our own purposes.

21. The underlined word “ally” in Para. 3 more likely means somebody or something that is _________.

   A. your slave and serves you               B. your supporter and helps you

   C. under your control and obeys you   D. under your influence and follows you

22. The author intends to tell us that time _____________.

   A. could be regulated by a timepiece such as a clock or a watch

   B. could be managed by the internal clock of human bodies

   C. should be well managed for our own interest

   D. should be saved for outside interests

23. In the next part, the author would most probably discuss with you ________.

   A. how to keep up with the times          B. how to make up for lost time

   C. how to have a good time                  D. how to make good use of time

Younger students experience school bullying (欺凌) more frequently than older ones, and male students are bullied more than their female peers, a survey found.

It also found that nearly half of students had been intentionally hit or knocked down by classmates. About 6 percent said they are targeted by bullies on campus every day. The survey also found that students from ordinary schools experienced more bullying than peers from key institutions, and children from poor families are more likely to be bullied at school.

Being bullied can have a negative impact on a child’s personal development and academic performance, according to Zhou Jinyan, a researcher who led the study at Beijing Normal University. “Children being bullied will find it hard to trust others,” Zhou said. “They may often feel anxiety, anger, resentment or depression. These emotions will further undermine their ability to control their own life.”

In recent years, bullying on Chinese campuses has been frequently reported and has attracted widespread attention and concern. The most recent incident to arouse heated discussions took place in December at Beijing’s Zhongguancun No.2 Primary School. A fourth-grade student was bullied and laughed at by classmates, causing him acute stress disorder.

The Supreme People’s Procuratorate (最高人民检察院) received about 1,900 cases related to school bullying in 2016. Meanwhile, there was a notable increase in bullying reports involving middle school students from 14 to 18 years old.

Zhou came up with some ways to solve the problem, including boosting communication between teachers, parents and students and trying to establish more harmonious relationships among children. She said it was strongly suggested that parents try to be involved in their children’s educational experience, as their presence and companionship have proved effective in reducing bullying and its negative effects.

32. Who is the most likely to become the target of bullying?

A. A 10-year-old boy from a poor family B. A 17-year-old boy from a rich family

C. A 17-year-old girl from an ordinaryschool D. A 10-year-old girl from a key school

33. Being bullied will cause students to go through the following EXCEPT _____.

34. We can learn from the text that _____.

A. bullying on campus has been brought into sharp focus by the media

B. students who enjoy parents’ companionship will be bullying-free

C. the government should consider taking further action against bullying at school

D. bullying at school usually leads to acute stress disorder

35. What can be the best title for the text?

A. Negative effects on children caused by bullying

B. Is anything we can do about bullying?

C. The reasons for bullying on campus

D. Bullying affects half of students

    Among my peers, the most common reasons to sit in front are: poor vision, poor hearing, and harder to fall asleep (my main reason).

    That’s about it. I’ve sat in the back and I’ve sat in the front, and I’ve seen no difference in how professors treat me. In fact, I sat in the front of my math class and still fell asleep a lot. I went to office hours for that class regularly and asked the professor if it bothered him and he said he understood completely. I put in the work outside the classroom and performed well on exams, and that’s what ends up on the transcript (成绩单).

    From my experience, going to office hours regularly, emailing questions that may be beyond the scope of class just out of your own curiosity, and reading ahead of time so you can ask good relevant questions are the best ways to give a professor a good impression. Where I’ve sat in the classroom hasn’t noticeably affected a professor’s opinion of me in the slightest.

    Typically, sitting at the front indicates to me that you want to hear everything I say and want to have more one-on-one questioning with me. Sitting in the middle suggests that you want to fit in, and will be better at group work. Sitting in the back usually means that you want to play with your phone. The people in the front seats will often get the highest grades, dropping as the rows go back. Yes, of course, this is a tendency and not a law, and there are exceptions. But I must point out that for some older professors, they actually can’t see the people in the back well.

    I have not noticed where to sit has any effect on attentiveness, participation and respectful behavior. I have noticed though, that students who sit in the back row are almost always disrespectful and inattentive. I have not observed any correlation between achievement and seat location, even though when I was a student myself, I usually preferred to sit in the front.

12. According to the author, the best ways to impress professors do NOT include _____.

  A. preparing for the class in advance                       B. asking questions through emailing

  C. going to office hours regularly                                   D. sitting in the front in every class

  A. They may be better at group work.               B. They may want to stay awake in class.

  C. They want to play with their phones.                    D. Their grades are always the highest.

15. What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?

  A. To persuade students to sit in the front.              B. To analyze the advantages of sitting in the back.

  C. To show the effect of seating on study results.  D. To discuss different seat locations in the class.

I was in a strange city I didn’t know at all， and what’s more， I could not speak a word of the language. On my second day I got on the first bus that passed， rode on it for several stops， then got off and walked on. The first two hours passed pleasantly enough， then I decided to turn back to my hotel for lunch. After walking about for some time， I decided I had better ask the way. The trouble was that the only word I knew of the language was the name of the street in which I lived， and even that I pronounced badly. I stopped to ask a newspaper-seller. He handed me a paper. I shook my head and repeated the name of the street and he put the paper into my hands. I had to give him some money and went on my way. The next person I asked was a policeman. He listened to me carefully， nodded and gently took me by the arm. There was a strange look in his eyes as he pointed left and right and left again. I nodded politely and began walking in the direction he pointed.

About an hour passed and I noticed that the houses were getting fewer and fewer and green fields were appearing on either side of me. I had come all the way into the countryside. The only thing left for me to do was find the nearest railway station.

A company’s logo (徽标) is a recognition tool for the public to link their services or products to the company. Let’s have a look at the most well-known companies in the world and see how their logos have changed over the years.

Microsoft

    Think “Microsoft” and you might think up an image of the billionaire Bill Gates or a Windows PC, or perhaps a bold, italic typeface (粗斜体) bearing the company’s name. But in the early 1970s, the founders of the company had quite a different brand image. Back then, it was all curves (曲线) and capital letters－even separating ‘micro’ and ‘soft’ into two levels.

Canon

   The camera giant was founded in Japan in 1934 as Kwanon－named after a Buddhist goddess. The following year it rebranded as Canon to coincide with the launch of its first ever 35mm camera. Exactly half a century later, the company launched its first digital camera. In 2016, Canon enjoyed a 20% share of the digital camera market, more than any other brand.

McDonald’s

   McDonald’s once had no iconic yellow ‘M’. In 1940, brothers Dick and Mac McDonald opened their McDonald’s barbecue restaurant in San Bernardino, California. The logo was made up of the words: McDonald’s FAMOUS BARBECUE. Ray Croc joined the business in 1955, bought the chain from them and oversaw its worldwide expansion.

Apple

   The first Apple logo was created in 1976, where it featured the famous scene of how Issac Newton discovered gravity－sitting beneath an apple tree. In the same year, the logo was changed into the shape of an apple with rainbow stripes, and it took a bite out of the apple, which made it different from others. It was then further simplified into an apple image consisting of only black. Since the year 2000, the apple logo has been recognized as a monochrome (单色的) apple.

25. Back in the early 1970s, Microsoft had its logo ________.

  A. divided into two levels                                   B. in a bold, italic typeface

  C. with two capital letters                                   D. with some curves

26. What can we learn about Apple from the text?

  A. Its logo has been changed twice at the most.

  B. Its logo was linked with Newton’ s gravity brainstorm.

  C. The color of its logo used to be only light red.

  D. The logo was first invented by Newton.

27. What is the text mainly about?

Whenever we turn on the TV or radio, read the newspapers, or surf the Internet, we’ll be surrounded by the word “diet” everywhere. We have so easily been attracted by the promise of diet products that we have stopped thinking about what diet products are doing to us. We are paying for products that harm us psychologically and physically.

It’s obvious that diet products weaken us psychologically. They allow us to jump over the thinking stage that our weight problems lie not in actually losing the weight, but in controlling the consumption of fat. All we have to do is to swallow or recognize the word “diet” in food labels.

What’s more, diet products have greater psychological effects. Every time we have a zero-calorie drink, we are telling ourselves that we don’t have to work to get results. Diet products make people believe that gain comes without pain, and that life can be without resistance and struggle.

As a matter of fact, the danger that diet products bring not only lies in the psychological effects they have on us, but also in the physical harm they cause. Diet foods and diet pills contain zero calories only because the diet industry has created chemicals to produce these wonder products. And they can indirectly harm our bodies because taking them instead of healthy foods means we are stopping our bodies having basic nutrients. Diet products may not be nutritional, and the chemicals that go into diet products are potentially dangerous.

Losing weight lies in the power of minds, not in the power of chemicals. Think twice before buying diet products. Once we realize this, we will be much better able to resist diet products, therefore, prevent the psychological and physical harm that comes from using them.

8. What does “gain comes without pain” in Paragraph 3 mean?

A. Losing weight is effortless.    B. It costs a lot to lose weight

C. Diet products are free of fat.    D. Diet products cause no pain.

9. What can be inferred from the first paragraph?

A. Diet products are cheap and healthy.

B. People enjoy paying for diet products.

C. Diet products are misleading people.

D. People are surrounded by “diet”.

10. Which is true about “psychological effect of diet products”？

A. People would hesitate before they enjoy diet foods.

B. People would pay more attention to their daily diet.

C. People would care about results instead of efforts.

D. People would try out varieties of diet products.

11. Why would diet products indirectly harm people physically?

A. Because they are over-consumed.

B. Because they lack chemicals.

C. Because they provide too much fat.

D. Because they lack basic nutrients.

 — It seems that people are becoming more and more selfish.

— How much happier life would be if we ________ to the values of the past!

 (33)_______ (found) by Louis Cartier in Paris France in 1847, Cartier is well known in the fashion world. It is recognized as one of the world’s most distinguished luxury brands. Most early years of Cartier were devoted to (34) __________ (serve) royal families and celebrities. King Edward VII of England referred to Cartier (35)_________ “ the jeweller of kings and the king of jewellers.” The company remained under family control (36)__________ 1964 when an investment group bought the business.

Many of Cartier’s famous products were produced by chance. In 1904, the Brazilian pioneer pilot, Alberto Santos-Dumont complained to Louis Cartier about the unreliability and impracticality of using pocket watches while flying.  In result, Cartier designed a flat wristwatch named “Santos”. (37)____ ____ ____ it was available on the market, the watch was loved by not only Alberto Santos-Dumont but also other customers. It wasn’t long (38)________ the Santos watch became the most popular men’s wristwatch then.

        In 1907, Cartier began to work with a businessman named Edmond Jaeger, (38)____  agreed to exclusively supply the movements for Cartier watches. By that time, Cartier (40)________ (establish) branches in many cities. It was these earliest shops that witnessed Cartier’s amazing development into today’s leading jewelry and watch brand.

First aid is of   34  (important) in our life. There is no doubt   35   it is necessary to know some knowledge of first aid as dangers lie everywhere and accidents happen from time to time. If a person has an accident, he needs medical care before a doctor can  36  (find). But in the process of first aid,   37   the injured will be properly treated  38  (depend) on your knowledge of first aid. As  39   famous journalist, Yan Song leads a very simple life. But he not only has a good nose   40  news, but also has  41  (admire) professional first aid skills, because he thinks if we know something about first aid, perhaps we can save a life.

Everybody should know some first aid   42  (save) other people's lives. Let’s take delight in  43  (acquire) the skills of first aid.
