There was a farmer who grew corn all his life. Each year he took his corn to the market. Then each time his corn was chosen as the 37 and won the first prize. One year, a newspaper reporter interviewed him and learned something 38 about how he grew it. The farmer offered his seed (种子的) corn to his neighbors. “How can you share your best seed corn with your neighbors?” the reporter asked. “You know they are taking part in the 39 with you each year.”“Why, sir,” said the farmer, “didnt you know? The 40 picks up pollen (花粉) from the corn and moves it quickly from field to field. If my neighbors grow 41 corn, cross-pollination (异化传粉) will influence the quality of my corn. So if I want to grow good corn, I must 42 my neighbors to grow good corn.”The farmer knows much about the connection of life. His corn cannot improve 43 his neighbors corm doesnt improve.As a great man says, “We make a living by what we 44 ; we make a life by what we give.” We cant live without food, clothes and many other things. However, a meaningful life is not decided by how much we can get, 45 by how much we can give others. Giving, instead of taking, makes us 46 from other animals. So those who choose to live well must help others to live well and those who choose to be happy must help others to find 47 in their life.

Norman Cousins was the editor of a magazine called “Saturday Review” for a;most forty years. He also wrote and spoke about world peace and anti-nuclear (反核的) and anti-war issues (问题). And he traveled to many different countries to share his ideas. In the 1960s, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe, Mr. Cousins got sick. He discovered he had a rare disease, known as ankylosing spondylitis, which caused the joint between his bones to stiff (僵硬的).In less than a week after he got sick, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night. The doctors told Mr. Cousins that they did not know how to cure his illness and he might never get over (摆脱) it. Mr. Cousins, however, refused to stop hope. Mr. Cousins thought that illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness. He began to experiment on himself while still in that hospital by watching comedy (喜剧) shows on TV. Mr. Quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free (无痛苦的) sleep at night.Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into (入住) a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy show on TV, reading amusing books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to take a holiday to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise. After a few months, Mr. Cousins was able to carry on his work. He had laughed himself back to good health. ( ) 48.What is the main topic of the passage? A funny story.B. An interesting cure.C. An amazing lifeD. Why people laugh.( ) 49.What is NOT true about the underlined words “ankylosing spondylitis”? A. It is uncommon.B. It makes walking difficult.C. It is easily cured.D. It is painful.( ) 50.What did the doctors think about Mr. Cousins disease? A. It could be cured if he slept more.B. It might be cured. C. It could be cured by taking medicine.D. It would take a week to get over it.( ) 51.What did Mr. Cousins think cured him? A. Laughter. B. Running on the beach.C. Medicine.D. Taking a holiday.( ) 52.What did Mr. Cousins do after he got better? A. He went back to the hospital.B. He continued his job.C. He wrote amusing books. D. He went on relaxing by taking a holidayB Idioms (习语) are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you dont understand the culture behind it.For example, if an American boy asks his mother whats for dinner tomorrow, she may say“Ill play it by ear”, that means she doesnt have plans for dinner and she will decide later.“Play by ear”used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when theyre not talking about music.There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you dont necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? Its not about the color of your hand! Youre a green hand when you are very new at your work and dont have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?( ) 53.An idiom is _.A.a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words sayB.a phrase or a sentence that doesnt mean exactly what every word saysC.so difficult that nobody can understandD.something to do with parts of your body( ) 54.If a mother says“Ill play it by ear”to talk about the dinner, she means _.A.she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same timeB.she doesnt hear what others are talking about.C.she will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinnerD.She doesnt have plans for dinner and will decide later( ) 55.When one says“Can you give me a hand?”, he means _.A.he needs to hold your hand. B. he works well with youC.he needs your help D. he is a new comer and cant help with the situation( ) 56.Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A.People use English idioms more in spoken English than in written English.B.To understand the culture behind an idiom is important in understanding the idiom.C.Idioms make your English more vivid and colorful so they are easy to remember.D.You may not understand an idiom even though you know the meaning of each word.( ) 57.Here are 4 common English idioms to do with parts of your body and their meanings. Can you match (匹配) them?1)to learn something by heart a. to depend on oneself2)to have sticky fingers b. to know something very well3)to stand on ones own feet c. to do something secretly4)to go behind someones back d. to have the habit of stealingA. badc B. bdac C. cbad D. cdba四、阅读表达（共5分，每小题1分）阅读下面短文，并根据所读短文内容在文章后的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。In Britain, people have a strange hobby. Whenever there is a Bank Holiday weekend, a certain (某个) kind of shop always gets very busy, and its not what you might thinkclothes shops or music shops. The British people go to DIY stores and garden centers. Large numbers of people spend their days doing home improvement (改善) instead of relaxing. Ding DIY is very popular in Britain, and there are lots of DIY programmes which show people how to improve their homes. Some people just do some simple decoratingputting up wall-paper and painting walls. There are all kinds of DIY projects that some people decide to do, like laying a new carpet (地毯), tiling (贴瓷砖) walls or putting in a new shower. Unluckily, some people start doing a job which ends in DIY disaster. For example, electrical things should be done by a special worker, but many people dont care about this warning and putting themselves in danger. Gardening is also popular, and a good way to enjoy the weather on a sunny Bank Holiday. But its not as simple as planting plants and doing some watering. More difficult work such as building a new garden or some decorations can cause backache.So why do people do it? Who knows? Maybe they are so used to working that they are not very good at relaxing. One thing is for sure, though a lot of DIY or gardening projects will be started with the best plans, many of them may not get finished.
