17、happened in the early part of the 19th century in the town of Sterling, Massachusetts, in the USA Mary Sawyer (18061889) lived on a farm with her familyOne day, when she was about nine years old, she saw a little lamb that had just been born and left behind by its motherIt was very weak and looked a

18、s if it would die at very momentMary took pity on the lamb and spent the whole night looking after itEventually, it grew strong and became a very close friend with Mary, following her everywhere she went One day, the lamb even followed Mary to schoolAt first she wanted to turn it back but her brothe

19、r suggested that it would be fun to take the lamb to schoolDuring the class, she hid the lamb under her deskBut when she was called to go to the front of the class, to her surprise, the lamb followed herThough the students and the teacher thought it was funny to see a lamb at school, the teacher had

20、 to ask Mary to keep the lamb outside of the school That very day, a young man called John Roulstone was visiting Marys schoolHe was so moved by the love between the child and her little pet lamb that he wrote a poem which he handed to Mary the next dayHis poem contained twelve lines Later, Sara Jos

21、epha Hale added another twelve lines to the poem and published it in 1930 under the title “Mary Had a Little Lamb”The poem has become a classic, loved by children all over the worldThe appeal (吸引力) of the poem lies not only in the funny idea of a sheep going to school but also in the true love betwe

23、igin of a Poem           D An Animal Friend32. The underlined word “eventually” in the second paragraph most probably means A fortunately B gradually    C finally  D kindly33. Why did the poem become a classic? AIt had another twe

27、ssible and head for safety. But there are a few people who will get into their cars and go straight for the center of the storm. These people are willing to risk being killed by floods or 100-kilometre-an-hour winds for the excitement of watching the storm close up.“Storm chasing (追趕)” is becoming a

28、n increasingly popular hobby, especially in the Midwest of the United States, where there are frequent storms between March and July. A storm chaser begins the day by checking the Internet for the latest weather reports, and then drives up to 1,000 kilometers to where the storm will be and waits for

29、 it to develop.Although anyone can do it, storm chasing is extremely dangerous. The power of a big storm can throw a cow into the air or destroy a whole house in seconds. Storm chasers are also often hurt in accidents caused by driving in a heavy rain. If you are a beginner, it is much safer to join

30、 a group for storm chasing vacations during the storm season.Even then, storm chasing is not all adventure or excitement. “Storm chasing is 95% driving,” says Daniel Lynch, who spends most of his summer storm chasing. Sometimes you can sit round for hours waiting for something to happen, and all you

31、 get is blue sky and a few light showers.”However, for storm chasers, it is all worth it. “When you get close to a storm, it is the most exciting sight you will ever see in your life,” says Jasper Morley. “Every storm is an example of the power of nature. It is the greatest show on Earth.”36. For st

32、orm chasing, the first thing storm chasers do is to A. head straight for the center of the storm B. get into the car for safety C. wait patiently for the storm to develop D. collect information about a coming storm37. Beginners of storm chasing are advised A. not to drive in a heavy rain B. to do it

33、 in an organized way C. not to get too close to a storm D. to spend more time on it in summer38. By saying “it is all worth it” in the last paragraph, the author means that A. storm chasing costs a lot of money B. storm chasing is worth hours of waiting C. efforts in storm chasing are well paid D. a

34、 storm presents the greatest show on Earth39. What can we learn from the text? A. Sometimes storm chasers get nothing but disappointment B. Many storm chasers get killed in the storms. C. Storm chasing is becoming popular around the world D. Storm chasing is only fit for young people. 40. According

35、to the passage, the right order in which the following things happen is_.a. collect information about a coming stormb. get into their cars and go a long way for the area where the storm will bec. determine on the months between March and Julyd. be patient and waits for the storm to developA. c, d, a

36、, b B. c, a, d, b C. a, c, d, b D. c, a, b, dCA popular saying goes，“Sticks and stones may break my bones，but words will never hurt me.” However，thats not really true. Words have the power to build us up or tear us down. It doesnt matter if the words come from someone else or ourselves the positive

37、and negative effects are lasting.We all talk to ourselves sometimes. Were usually too embarrassed to admit it，though. But we really shouldnt be，because more and more experts believe talking to ourselves is a healthy habit.This “self-talk” helps us motivate(激發(fā)) ourselves，remember things，solve problem

38、s and calm ourselves down. Be aware，though，that as much as 77% of self -talk tends to be negative. So in order to stay positive，we should only speak words of encouragement to ourselves. We should also be quick to give ourselves a pat on the back. The next time you finish a project，do well on a test，

39、or finally clean your room，join me in saying，“Good job！”O(jiān)ften，words came out of our mouths without us thinking about the effects they will have；but we should be aware that our words will cause certain responses to others. For example，when returning an item to a store，we might use warm and friendly l

40、anguage during the exchange. And the clerk will probably respond in a similar manner. Or we can use harsh (苛刻的)or critical language，which will most likely cause the clerk to be defensive.Words possess power because of their lasting effects. Many of us regret something we once said. And we remember u

41、nkind words said to us！Before speaking，we should always ask ourselves：Is it true？Is it loving？Is it needed？If what we want to say doesnt pass this test，then its better left unsaid.Words possess power：both positive and negative. Those around us receive encouragement when we speak positively. We can o

42、ffer hope，build self-esteem(自尊) and motivate others to do their best. Negative words destroy all those things. Will we use our words to hurt or to heal？The choice is ours.41The author argues in the first paragraph that _.Awords will never hurt us at all Bwords have lasting effects on usCinspiring wo

43、rds give us confidence Dnegative words may let us down42Why should not we feel embarrassed when it comes to talking to ourselves? _.ATalking to ourselves is believed to be good for our health.BAlmost everybody has the habit of talking to oneself.CTalking to ourselves helps us to solve all the proble

44、ms.DIt is harmful to have “self talk” when we are alone.43The underlined phrase “give ourselves a pat on the back” in Paragraph 3 means “_”Ablame ourselves Bpunish ourselves Ctalk to ourselves Dpraise ourselves44Which of the following statements would the author agree to? _.AUnkind words are unlikel

45、y to be forgotten.BPositive words may destroy all the good relations.CIt is better to think twice before talking to others.DKind words are sure to cause unfavorable responses.45Why should we talk in a friendly way when returning an item to a store? _.ABecause kind words destroy true relationships.BB

46、ecause the clerk in a store is hard to deal with.CBecause critical language may hurt your feelings.DBecause friendly words cause positive responses.DAngus MacLeod was fifty and he had spent his entire life as a shepherd（牧羊人） in the remote mountainous region of northwest ScotlandHe had never owned a
