Students and teachers at a Los Angeles high school missed their lunch break after a mountain lion walked into the school and tried to join them.

“The big cat was seen to walk across the schoolyard at John F. Kennedy High School shortly after noon on Friday. Instead of sitting down to eat, students and teachers quickly hid themselves in classrooms and called the police. The police sealed off the area until a wild animal expert could arrive and knock the animal out with a couple of tranquilizer darts(麻醉飞镖),” said Andrew Hughan, the spokesman of Department of Fish and Wildlife.

When officers arrived, the mountain lion ran into a nearby backyard but quickly grew sleepy and confused after the darts hit it. “It’s on its way back to the Santa Susana Mountains,” said Hughan. He added that the animal appeared to be healthy and about 2 or 3 years old. The department later posted a photo on Twitter of the sleeping big cat that was being taken to the wilderness.

Kennedy High School is in the city’s Granada Hills section, on the edge of mountain lions’ habitat. Still, it had to travel a couple of miles through a large neighborhood, across a golf course and around a freeway to get there. “Probably what happened was that it was running after a deer, a rabbit or a dog late last night for food. It looked up this morning, saw the school and thought, ‘Oh, oh, I’m in trouble now.” said Hughan. “Mountain lions wander in cities every few weeks, but this one got more attention because it broke the school’s quietness.”

A famous mountain lion known as P-22 has been wandering in the Hollywood Hills near Griffith Park for some time and P-22 killed a bear in the park’s Los Angeles Zoo last month, but it remains popular enough to have its own Facebook page.

How would you like an easy way to earn $2,500? All you have to do is to sit around and wait for your meals. There's a catch however. You have to stay in a chicken cage with a stranger for a whole week. There are no books or television or radio for amusement. You can't leave until the week is up. And a camera will be recording your every move.

  Two people actually took the job. The idea came from Rob Thompson, a video artist. He wanted to make a film about the way animals are  treated. His goal was  to raise people's awareness of the living conditions of animals that are raised for food.

He decided to pay $5,000 out of his own savings to two people who were willing to live like chickens for a week.

  To Rob’s surprise, quite a few people answered his advertisement. He had interviewed and selected Eric, a 24-year-old restaurant worker, and Para, a 24-year-old chemist. The plan was for them to spend seven days together in a chicken cage that was six feet long and three feet wide. A camera would record their experiences, which would take place in an art museum.

  The week was long and difficult. They slept on a hard wooden floor. They couldn't stand up without hanging their heads. They ate vegetables and drank water from a garden hosepipe. Their only privacy was a toilet surrounded by a curtain. There were no sinks, mirrors, or toothbrushes in the cage. Their only inspiration was the two framed checks that hung on the wall outside the cage. Visitors who came here were warned, “Do not feed the humans.”

   Finally it was over, and Para and Eric appeared from their cage. They had survived the week, and they each had a $2,500 check in their hands. When Rob Thompson opened the cage,  Eric  came  out,  changed  into  clean clothes, and ate a chocolate bar right away. “It's great to be able to stand up,” he said. Para just changed her clothes and left. After a week of visitors and reporters watching her, she

didn't want to talk to anyone.

46. What kind of person is Rob Thompson?

   A. He is curious about people's personal life.

   B. He is kind-hearted to animals.

   C. He hates people around.

   D. He likes to help poor people.

47. The underlined word “catch” probably means _____.

   A. unsolved problem                  B. surprising wonder

   C. unbelievable fact                     D. hidden difficulty

48. Rob offered the money because he wanted _____ .

   A. to see if there were any people who would like to live in a cage

   B. to show the public how terrible animals' life could be

   C. to make more money by publishing the recorded videotapes

   D. to improve housing conditions of working people like Eric

49. Which of the following would be the best title for this passage?

   A. Easy Way to Earn $ 2,500.             B. Do Not Feed the Humans.

   C. Living Like a Chicken.            D. Getting Along Well Anyway.

根据短文内容，从短文后的七个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet, chat and go where we’ve never been before.

But just as in face to face communication, there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.    71     Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself, “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no, rewrite and reread.     72    

If someone in the chat room is rude to you, your instinct (本能) is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.    73     If it was caused by a disagreement with another member, try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.

  74     Offer advice when asked by newcomers, as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake, whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer, be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake, you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it, think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.    75     At the same time, if you find you are wrong, be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.

It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age, sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well, and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information, don’t ask such questions.

A. It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.

B. Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the person’s face.

C. Everyone was new to the network once.

D. The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.

E. When you send short messages to a person online, you must say something beautiful to hear.

F. You should either ignore the person, or use your chat software to block their messages.

G. If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake, point it out politely.

   “Have a nice day!” may be a pleasant gesture or a meaningless expression. When my friend Maxie says “Have a nice day” with a smile, I know she sincerely cares about what happens to me. I feel loved and secure since another person cares about me and wishes me well.

   “Have a nice day. Next!” This version of the expression is spoken by a salesgirl at the supermarket who is rushing me and my groceries out the door. The words come out in the same tone with a fixed procedure. They are spoken at me, not to me. Obviously, the concern for my day and everyone else’s is the management’s attempt to increase business.

    The expression is one of those behaviors that help people get along with each other. Some- times it indicates the end of a meeting. As soon as you hear it, you know the meeting is at an end. Sometimes the expression saves us when we don’t know what to say. “Oh, you just had a tooth out? I’m terribly sorry, but have a nice day.”

    The expression can be pleasant. If a stranger says “Have a nice day” to you, you may find it heart-warming, because someone you don’t know has tried to be nice to you.

    Although the use of the expression is an insincere, meaningless social custom at times, there is nothing wrong with the sentence except that it is a little uninteresting. The salesgirl, the waitress, the teacher, and all the countless others who speak it without thinking may not really care about my day. But in a strange and comfortable way, it’s nice to know they care enough to pretend they care when they really don’t care all that much. While the expression may not often be sincere, it is always spoken. The point is that people say it all the time when they like.

32. How does the author understand Maxie’s words?

A. Maxie shows her anxiety to the author.

B. Maxie really wishes the author a good day.

C. Maxie encourages the author to stay happy.

D. Maxie really worries about the author’s security.

33. What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?

   A. The salesgirl is rude.

 B. The salesgirl is bored.

C. The salesgirl cares about me.

 D. The salesgirl says the words as a rule.

34. According to the last paragraph, People says “Have a nice day” ______.

   A. sincerely          B. as thanks         C. as a habit       D. encouragingly

35. What is the best title of the passage?

   A. Have a Nice Day——a Social Custom

   B. Have a Nice Day——a Pleasant Greeting

C. Have a Nice Day——a Heart-warming Greeting

D. Have a Nice Day——a Polite Ending of a Conversation

Yesterday I attended a classmate party．I was very happy to see my old friends, that I hadn’t met

for years．So I drank a lot．After the party, I drive home though my classmate had tried to persuade

me not to．I always believed that as a skilled driver, drinking a little did no harm to driving．On the

way to home, the wine began to take effect．All of sudden, I cracked my car against a sign on the road．

Luckily, a policeman came towards me．He fined me and said: “Drunk driving is a terribly thing．

You can end up hurt yourself, and other innocent people life．” Till then, I realized that the effects of

drunk driving could be deadly for all those involved．Many people who drink and drive do not think

of the serious consequences of their action unless it is too late．So I appeal to everybody never to

drink and drive! Cherish your life!

 –More than 13.7 million Americans were unable to find work in April.

Customers rarely have an opportunity to watch the cooks doing the cooking on the ____ although it sounds quite normal for any cook.

A. kitchen     B. floor    C. condition   D. spot

  What is the first thing you notice when you walk into a shop? The products displayed(展示)at  the entrance? Or the soft background music?

But have you ever noticed the smell? Unless it is bad，the answer is likely to be no．But while a shop’s scent may not be outstanding compared with sights and sounds，it is certainly there．And it is providing to be an increasing powerful tool in encouraging people to purchase．

A brand store has become famous for its distinctive scent which floats through the fairly dark hall and out to the entrance via scent machines．A smell may be attractive but it may not just be used for freshening air．One sports goods company once reported that when it first introduced scent into its stores，customers’ intension to purchase increased by 80 percent．

When it comes to the best shopping streets in Pairs，scent is just as important to a brand’s success as the quality of its window displays and goods on sales．That is mainly because shopping is a very different experience to what it used to be．

Some years ago，the focus for brand name shopping was on a few people with sales  assistants’ disproving attitude and don’t-touch-what-you-can’t-afford displays．Now the rise of electronic commerce(e-commerce)has opened up famous brands to a wider audience．But while e-shops can use sights and sounds，only bricks-and-mortar stores(实体店)can offer a full experience from the minute customers step through the door to the moment they leave．Another brand store seeks to be much more than a shop，but rather a destination．And scent is just one way to achieve this．

Now a famous store uses complex man-made smell to make sure that the soft scent of baby powder floats through the kid department，and coconut(椰子)scent in the swimsuit section．A department store has even opened a new lab，inviting customers on a journey into the store’s windows to smell books，pots and drawers，in search of their perfect scent．

32．According to the passage，what is an increasingly powerful tool in the success of some brand store?

  A．Friendly assistant    B．Soft background music

  C．Unique scents．          D．Attractive window display．

33．E-shops are mentioned in the passage to________．

  A．urge shop assistants to change their attitude

  B．show the advantages of brick-and-mortar stores

  C．push stores to use sights and sounds

  D．introduce the rise of e-commerce

34．The underlined word  “destination”  in Paragraph 5 means_____．

  A．a place where customers love to go        B．a spot where travelers like to stay

  C．a platform that exhibits goods               D．a target that a store expects to meet

35．The main purpose of the passage is to______．

  A．compare and evaluate          B．inform and explain

  C．argue and discuss                     D．examine and assess

Rediscovery

    I used to be a happy child with a loving family and many friends. I had a   36    that cold brighten a could winter day and I had a special love for life.

At twelve, my life had a huge breakdown. It was then that I    37    OCD（强迫症）. I started to wash my hands ten times an hour, and I constantly    38    my kitchen oven to make sure that it was off. This way of life continued for four painful years, and by then, my OCD had led to depression（抑郁）. I was no longer the    39    little girl I had been.

In the tenth grade I finally    40    to my mother that I was suffering from depression along with my OCD. My mom took me to a doctor and I started taking    41    . Over a few months, the medicine did help the OCD, but I still was struggling with depression.

One autumn evening, I hit rock bottom. I thought suicide（自杀）was the only    42    to my depression problem, so I decided to write a suicide note. As I was    43    it, my eyes fell on a photo. It was a     44    of an adorable little girl, wearing her red soccer uniform and holding a bike helmet. She had a bright smile that showed she was full of life.

It took me a few minutes to    45    who the girl in the photo was. The photo had been taken when I was seven years old. I almost couldn’t believe that smiling child was me. I felt a chill go down my spine（脊柱）. It was like my younger self had sent me a    46    . Right then and there I knew I couldn’t kill myself. Once I had been a strong little girl, and I had to become    47    like that again.

I tore up my suicide note and    48    that I would not rely only on my medicine. I would have to fight the depression with my mind, too. I could make myself happy again.

It has been two years since I    49    myself. The real reason I am healed is that I took action and refused to let depression    50    my life. I learned a lifelong    51    : Never give up. Everyone has challenges in life, but everyone can    52    . I am living proof of that.

Now I am prepared for whatever    53    life may bring. I have a role model to    54    up to for strength, and who is guiding me    55    life. My hero is a seven-year-old girl, smiling back at me from a photo on my desk.
