阅读下列短文，从每题所给的四个选项(A、B、C、D)中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。

A

Dear Mr / Ms,

I would like to suggest that the starting time be changed at our school. Classes at Sebastian Valley Middle School simply start too early in the morning. Getting eight to nine hours of sleep each night is almost impossible when classes begin at 7:30 am. In order to shower, dress, get organized, eat a quick breakfast, and meet the school bus by 6:45, I would have to get up at 5:45.

Early in the morning, students are too sleepy to learn well. Without enough sleep, young people cannot think clearly or enjoy learning. According to a report called “Are Students Getting Enough Sleep?” from Sebastian Valley Times, “Sleepiness disturbs concentration, reduces short-term memory, and causes bad feelings.”

Researchers have learned that teens normally fall asleep and wake up later than adults. Teens who stay up late at night have trouble getting up early in the morning. Studies show that some schools have already adjusted school hours to match the teen sleep cycle (周期) better; as a result, students in these schools are learning better on the new schedule.

Some of my classmates argue that starting school an hour later will prevent them from taking part in after-school athletic programs. A solution would be to carry out these programs before school instead of after school. The students who are involved in sports and clubs would continue to arrive at the usual time. The rest of the student body could get a little more sleep and arrive an hour later. Teens usually have a later sleep cycle, and learn and behave better when rested. So I would like to suggest that we have a meeting to discuss the problem and listen to all the students’ voice.

Thank you for considering this request!

Mary Frye enjoyed writing poetry very much. She wasn’t interested in publishing her poems, and once in a while she passed one on to her friends. “I don’t think I have any great talent,” she said. But many people would disagree. One of her poems, especially, has given hope and comfort (安慰) to people for over 50 years. When one of her friends lost someone close, Mary Frye wrote a poem, which seemed to spring(喷发) from her heart, and gave it to the sad woman. That poem was later passed on to others, who, in turn, passed it on until it became an American classic. “If it helps one person through a hard time, I am satisfied,” said Mary, who received no pay for her work. It has been used at countless funerals (葬礼), translated and used in foreign lands.

Here is her original text, which has moved so many for so long: Do not stand at my grave and weep, / I am not there, I do not sleep. / I am in a thousand winds that blow, / I am the softly falling snow. / I am the gentle showers of rain, / I am the fields of ripening grain. / I am in the morning hush, / I am in the graceful rush. / Of beautiful birds in circling flight, / I am the starshine of the night. / I am in the flowers that bloom (盛开), / I am in a quiet room. / I am in the birds that sing, / I am in each lovely thing. / Do not stand at my grave and cry, / I am not there. I do not die.

How many people are finding strength and comfort from a poem by a woman who always said she had no talent? And what if she had kept her poetry to herself? Don’t be afraid to use the talents you do have; it has been well advised. The woods would be very silent if only the birds with the sweetest songs were heard.

46. Which of the following can best describe Mary Frye? A. Brave and determined. B. Modest and talented. C. Caring and honest. D. Strict and patient. 47. What does the underlined word “I” in Paragraph 4 refer to?

A. The dead one. B. The living one. C. The sad woman. D. Mary Frye. 48. What does the last sentence of the text imply? A. Birds like to show off their talents in the woods. B. Few poems can give comfort like Mary Frye’s. C. We should not be too shy to show our talents. D. The woods would be very silent without birds.

Before I studied psychology, I used to think that people would laugh when funny

things occurred. While I was right about that, I discovered there are lots of other psychological factors that make people laugh other than the funny part of a joke. When someone laughs at a joke, there will usually be more than one reason that makes him laugh—and the more reasons there are, the more powerful the joke will be.

I was attending a stand-up comedy show in Egypt, and when the man started to make fun of pedestrians crossing streets, everyone laughed their hearts out. The main reason those people strongly laughed was that almost all of them felt angry towards pedestrians who crossed streets carelessly. The joke wasn’t only funny, it also made the audience feel that they were right about being angry at those pedestrians. That is, people were laughing both because of the funny joke and because of the happiness experienced as a result of the psychological support they got.

The better a joke makes a person feel, and the more it includes other psychological factors, the more the person will like it. For example, if you envy one of your friends, and someone tells a joke that is funny and, at the same time, makes your friend seem stupid, then you will probably laugh at it louder than if you weren’t jealous of him.

In short, we don’t laugh only when we hear something funny; we also laugh when we experience some kind of happiness that results from the other psychological factors involved in the joke. I strongly discourage making fun of anyone or belittling someone to make someone else laugh. All I want to explain is that if your joke supports a person’s emotions, he will certainly like it a lot.

52. What did the author find out after studying psychology? A. Only good jokes make people laugh. B. Many factors lead to people laughing. C. Funny things can make people laugh D. Laughter can make people healthy.

53. Why did the audience laugh loud at the pedestrians? A. They played a trick on the pedestrians. B. The pedestrians behaved in a funny way. C. They could feel the pedestrians’ happiness. D. Their emotion was approved of by the show.

54. What does the underlined word “belittling” probably mean? A. Annoy B. Blame C. Look down on D. Make up to 55. Which of the following best shows the structure of the passage?

How to Teach a Child to Respect

As a child grows out of being an infant(新生儿) and begins to notice and react to the world around him, you may find yourself wondering how you possibly impart（给予） all of the things that he needs to become a responsible, respectful adult. 56 A child who learns to respect all he meets not only receives respect from others, but also learns to respect himself as well.

●Show your child respect. This is perhaps the best way to teach your child how to respect others. Listen to your child by giving him your full attention and he will learn to listen to you, understanding how important this is in communication.

● 57 The more you say “Please” and “Thank you” to your child, the more likely he will learn to use them with you and others. Politeness then becomes a normal part of any conversation.

● Agree to disagree. 58 Explain your decision so that he will understand your reasoning and expect respectful responses. Disagreeing with you doesn't equate to disobedience.

● Control your impulse (冲动)to overact. When a situation arises between you and your child that requires calmness, keep in mind that you are supposed to be modeling correct behavior. 59

Praise, praise, praise! So much is focused on what a child does wrong and how to correct it that the accomplishments(成就) are not celebrated enough. 60

A. Teach manners by using polite requests and responses. B．Try to remember that a child won't always agree with you. C．Respect is necessary for a meaningful and successful life.

D．If he sees you lose temper, he is more likely to respond that way in future. E．A child may act like he pleases, but will respect being given limits. F．When you see your child exhibit respectful behavior, make sure he knows just how proud you are of him.

G．Setting a good example is the best way to start a child on the path to respect. 第四部分：完形填空（ 共20小题：每小题1.5分，满分30分）
