阅读下列短文，从文后各题所给的四个选项中选出一个最佳答案。
Growing up at a distance from my unfriendly father meant I always doubted his feelings for me. Until his final few days, I grew up completely lacking(缺少) hugs. Neither of my parents was the cuddly(令人想拥抱的) type. Greetings including kissing embarrassed me, and hugging generally just made me feel l6 .
Then one hug changed all that. One month before my 40th birthday my dad had a heart disease. As he came round, days later, he grabbed me and 17 me so hard that I had to push to keep my head from pressing down on his chest.
It was a hug to make up for all those we had 18 had. Days later as he slowly started to gain strength he told me for the first time that he loved me, and through my 19 I told him I loved him too.
I began planning how to bake(烘焙) him better -- with carrot 20 , victoria sponges, jelly and ice cream. And I imagined wheeling him 21 the park and feeding him home-made goodies. Then he died.
I felt cheated. All my life I had wondered whether my dad loved me -- I doubted it. Just as I got proof that he did, he 22 .
My parents split up when I was two years old and, 23 I had monthly contact with my dad, usually, he, my bitter stepmother and I counted the hours until I could go home again.
The weekends at my father's house felt 24 . I didn't have any clear close father- daughter 25 to cling (依恋) to and recall. Most of them were of uncomfortable times together, but I missed him being alive very much,
To a child, a hug 26 so many things. It tells you that the person hugging you loves you, and 27 for you. A hug also confirms that you are a lovable being. Months after dad's death I somewhat realized that his lack of hugs said more than about him than me. My father was not a(n) 28 man and I was, therefore, perhaps, a lovable being.
Once I realized my feelings changed from those of a needy child to ones of a proud daughter. Looking at my father more objectively (客观) 29 me to view him clearly: he was a man of few words but kind and modest,
Dad's hug had a deep effect on me. It carried me along a path from a 30 to an adult, at last I am my own woman and one who loves nothing better than a good old-fashioned hug.
16. A. excited B. pleased C. proud D. uncomfortable 17. A. beat B. kissed C. hugged D. praised 18. A. once B. never C. ever D. often 19. A. smiles B. tears C. laughs D. words 20. A. cakes B. cream C. noodles D. vegetables 21. A. on to B. out of C. through D. towards
22. A. passed away B. passed out C. passed on D. passed down 23. A. because B. while C. for D. as 24. A. warm B. cold C. hot D. cool 25. A. relations B. memories C. stories D. hugs 26. A. speaks B. talks C. reminds D. says 27. A. looks B. searches C. cares D. longs 28. A. expressive B. talkative C. impressive D. attractive 29. A. forced B. asked C. allowed D. ordered 30.

After breakfast Martha went to visit her mother for the day. Mary felt lonely in the house without her so she went outside into the bright sunshine. She ran round and round the fountain and soon she started to feel better. Ben Weatherstaff was in the vegetable garden. He didn’t look cross that day so she went to speak to him.
“The spring’s coming,” he said to her. “Can you see those green points in the earth?” Mary looked.
“What are they?” she asked.
“They’re spring flowers.” Then the robin appeared and sat on the ground near them. “Is spring coming in the secret garden, too?” Mary asked Ben.
“Ask the robin,” said Ben, “He’s the only one who knows.” And he went back to work.
The robin was hopping around on the ground. Mary was watching him when she saw something in the earth. She picked it up. It was an old key.
Mary looked at the key for a long time. Then she put it in her pocket and walked back to her room. The next morning Martha was there as usual. She told Mary about her day at her mother’s house. She brought a skipping rope as a present to Mary. Mary was not good at skipping at first. But she tried and tried and soon she didn’t want to stop.
The sun was shining and the sky was blue. Mary skipped and counted and counted and skipped around the big garden. She decided to skip along her favourite path outside the walled gardens. It was very long and she had to stop before she arrived at the end of it because she was tired.
Then she saw the robin sitting on a long branch of the ivy on the wall. He chirped. Mary went up to him.
“You showed me the key yesterday,” she said. “Can you show me the door today?”
The robin flew to the top of the wall. Suddenly the wind blew the long branch of ivy to one side. Mary held it in her hand because she could see something under it ---- a door!
Mary took the old key out of her pocket and put it in the lock of the door. It worked. She was inside the secret garden!
( Taken from The Secret Garden )

Food festivals around the world
Stilton Cheese Rolling
May Day is a traditional day for celebrations, but the 2,000 English villagers of Stilton must be the only people in the world who include cheese rolling in their annual plans. Teams of four, dressed in a variety of strange and funny clothes, roll a complete cheese along a 50-metre course. On the way, they must not kick or throw their cheese, or go into their competitors’ lane(赛道). Competition is fierce and the chief prize is a complete Stilton cheese weighing about for kilos(disappointingly, but understandably the cheeses used in
the race are wooden ones). All the competitors are served with beer or port wine, the traditional accompaniment for Stilton cheese.
Fiery Foods Festival ---- The Hottest Festival on Earth
Every year more than 10,000 people head for the city of Albuquerque, New Mexico. They come from as far away as Australia, the Caribbean and China, but they all share a common addiction ---- food that is not just spicy, but hot enough to make your mouth burn, your head spin and your eyes water. Their destination is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival which is held over a period of three days every March. You might like to try a chocolate-covered habanero pepper ---- officially the hottest pepper in the world---- or any one of the thousands of products that are on show. But one thing’s for sure ---- if you don’t like the feeling of a burning tongue, this festival isn’t for you!
La Tomatina ---- The World’s Biggest Food Fight
On the last Wednesday of every August, the Spanish town of Bu hosts La Tomatina ---- the world’s largest food fight. A week-long celebration leads up to an exciting tomato battle as the highlight of the week’s events. The early morning sees the arrival of large trucks with tomatoes ---- official fightstarters get things going by casting tomatoes at the crowd.
The battle lasts little more than half an hour, in which time around 50,000 kilograms of tomatoes have been thrown at anyone or anything that moves, runs, or fights back. Then everyone heads down to the river to make friends again ---- and for a much-needed wash!
38. In the Stilton cheese rolling competition, competitors on each team must ________.
A. wear various formal clothes B. roll a wooden cheese in their own lane
C. kick or throw their cheese D. use a real cheese weighing about four kilos 39. Where is the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival held?
A. In New Mexico. B. In the Caribbean. C. In Australia D. In China. 40. The celebration of La Tomatina lasts ________.
A. three days B. seven days C. less than three days D. more than seven days 41. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. The chief prize for the Stilton cheese rolling competition is beer or port wine. B. More than 10,000 Chinese take part in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. C. Thousands of spicy foods are on show in the Fiery Food and BBQ Festival. D. An exciting tomato battle takes place at the beginning of La Tomatina.
D
In ancient Egypt, a shopkeeper discovered that he could attract customers to his shop simply by making changes to its environment. Modern businesses have been following his lead, with more tactics(策略).
One tactic involves where to display the goods. For example, stores place fruits and vegetables in the first section. They know that customers who buy the healthy food first will feel happy so that they will buy more junk food later in their trip. In department stores, the women’s shoe section is generally next to the women’s cosmetics(化妆品) section: while the shop assistant is going back to find the right size shoe, bored customers are likely to wander over and find some cosmetics they might want to try later.
Besides, businesses seek to appeal to customers’ senses. Stores notice that the smell of baked goods encourages shopping, so they make their own bread each morning and then fan the bread smell into the store throughout the day. Music sells goods, too. Researchers in Britain found that when French music was played, sales of French wines went up.
When it comes to the selling of houses, businesses also used highly rewarding tactics. They find that customers make decisions in the first few seconds upon walking in the door, and turn it into a business opportunity. A California builder designed the structure of its houses smartly. When entering the house, the
customer would see the Pacific Ocean through the windows, and then the pool through an open stairway leading to the lower level. The instant view of water on both levels helped sell these $10 million houses. 42. Why do stores usually display fruits and vegetables in the first section?
A. To save customers time. B. To show they are high quality foods. C. To help sell junk food. D. To sell them at discount prices. 43. According to Paragraph 3, which of the following encourages customers to buy?
A. Opening the store early in the morning. B. Displaying British wines next to French ones. C. Inviting customers to play music. D. Filling the store with the smell of fresh bread. 44. What is the California builder’s story intended to prove? A. The house structure is a key factor customers consider. B. The more costly the house is, the better it sells. C. An ocean view is much to the customers’ taste. D. A good first impression increases sales. 45. What is the main purpose of the passage?
A. To explain how businesses turn people into their customers. B. To introduce how businesses have grown from the past. C. To report researches on customer behavior. D. To show dishonest business practices.

Communication is important for strong family relationships. However, if you don’t truly listen to others, it can be difficult to communicate. Working on the following listening skills can help you communicate better.
Listening Actively
Focus on the speaker’s words and not what you'll say next. When listening to a family member, pay attention to what’s being said. When talking to someone, pay attention to the speaker and his thoughts, you can think of how you will reply later.
Make sure the speaker has finished talking before you talk. Instead of starting your reply at once, a couple of seconds of silence is not a bad thing.
Communicating Effectively(有效的)
Retell what has been said. Try to briefly conclude what you have heard when the speaker finishes. It
will really show you're listening and allow you and your family to communicate better.
Reflect on what's been said. After talking, reflect briefly on the subject. Try to work out not just what's being said, but also why it is important.
Accept you don' t always have to solve someone's problems. Avoiding Negative Habits
Do not cut in on others. Interrupting can break effective conversation. Do not start talking until the other person has finished.
Stop from offering advice. Unless you are asked, do not offer advice. Offering advice can make it seem like you're not really listening but to hear what you want.
Do not change the subject early. Never change the subject before the speaker has got their words out, even if a subject makes you bored.
Avoid hurrying the speaker. Never say words like, \"Can you get to the point?\" This will make it seem like you're not interested in the conversation. How to be a good listener to your family Introduction ●56 ▲ listening skills, you can communicate with your family better. ●You should understand how the speaker thinks 58 ▲ Listening actively you reply. ●It’s not a bad thing to keep 59 ▲ for seconds. ●Brief conclusion can 60 ▲ you of what the speaker How to develop Communicating has said 57 ▲ effectively ●Work out both the words talked by the speaker and the of being a good 61 ▲ of the subject . listener ●Interrupting can make the conversation 63 ▲ effective. 62 ▲ ●Even if you find the subject 64 ▲ , just let the negative habits speaker express himself completely. ●It's impolite to 65 ▲ the speaker before your conversation. 六、缺词填空（共10空；每空l分，计l0分） 根据短文内容和首字母提示，在下文空格处填入适当的词使短文完整。在答题卡标有题号的横线上，完整地写出空缺处各单词的正确形式。（每空一词）

Dear classmates,
I think kindness is a special gift to everyone. How can we show it to others in our daily life?
When we’re at home, it’s important to show our respect to our parents. Helping them do some housework will make us close to each other. We should also be kind enough to our neighbours in our neighborhood. While they’re away from home, we can keep an eye on their houses. At school, tell our classmates to ask for help whenever they need. If one of them is absent from school, we can help them with the lesson. On the bus, we should take care of the elderly by giving them our seats. And once there is someone who tries to fight with the bus driver, it’s better for us to stop him.
I hope everyone can be kind to others so that we can live in a world full of love. That’s all for my speech. Thank you!
