He was astonished to discover that it was a mouse trap! Running to the farmyard，the mouse shouted，warning everyone，“There is a mouse trap in the house，there is a mouse trap in the house”The chicken，with her head high，glared at the mouse and said，“Shut upLittle UglyThis is a great concern to you，but it has nothing to do with me：I cant be troubled by it” The mouse turned to the pig and told him“There is a mouse trap in the house”“I am so sorry，Mr Mouse，”said the pig sympathetically，“but there is nothing I can do about it but pray；you are always in my prayers” The mouse turned to the cow，who said，“A mouse trap，am I in great danger，huh?” Now the mouse had to face the farmers mouse trap alone That very night a sound was heard through the house，like that of a mouse trap catching its preyThe farmerwife rushed to see what was caughtIn the darkness，she did not see it was a big poisonous snake whose tail the trap had caughtThe snake bit the farmers wifeThe farmer rushed her to the hospitalShe returned home with a feverIt is said that drinking fresh chicken soup will help treat fever，so the farmer took his sharp knife to the farmyard for the soups main ingredientHis wifes sickness continued，so friends and neighbors came to sit with her around the clockTo feed them，the farmer killed the pigThe farmers wife did not get well，in fact，she died，and so many people came for her funeralThe farmer had the cow killed to provide for all of them to eat So next time when someone is facing a problem，dont say that it has nothing to do with you21We could see from the passage that the mouse was Agood at cheating others Bdishonest Ckind and warm-hearted Dfoolish22Which of the following is NOT TRUE according to the passage?

ATraps can always cause chain reactions BIt is better to be safe than to be sorry CSometimes when the least of us is threatened，we all might be at riskDTo keep the balance of nature is the duty of us all BIt was a Sunday and the heavy storm had lasted all night. The morning after the storm, though, was beautiful: blue skies, warm air and a calm, inviting sea touching the shore gently.My father realized it was a good day for fishing and invited my sister and me to go with him. I was only 14 and fishing had never been my thing, but I decided to go all the same. Im so glad I did.On the road to the harbor we could see the terrible destruction on the coast, but the harbor itself was in fairly good condition because it was protected by the arms of a bay that had only one tiny channel to the sea. As we got on board, we noticed two big humps(脊背) in the distance.On approaching them, we saw it was a mother whale with her baby. We couldnt believe itthere arent any whales along the coast here. The storm must have driven them across the ocean in the bay, in which the still water was so badly polluted that nothing could survive.The little baby whaleactually as big as our boatwas obviously stuck and could not move. The mother dived under the water and came up suddenly, making big whirlpools(漩涡) and waves. “Shes trying to help her baby, but on the wrong side,” my father said. At this point, my father moved our boat to the other side and, heading the boat toward the baby whale, pushed it gently. With our several gentle pushes the big hump turned over and disappeared under water. Then it swam up right beside its mum. They struggled in their desperate attempts to escape but missed the exit and started heading in the wrong direction. We hurried up to the whales and tried to lead them towards the bay channel. Slowly, they let us lead them, sometimes rising from the water right beside us to breatheand to give us a trusting look with those huge eyes. Once they hit their first part of clean water flowing straight form the sea, the mum gave us a wave with her tail and off they swam into the distance.In the excitement it had felt like only a few minutes, but we had been with those wonder animals for almost an hour and a half. That was the simple and lasting beauty of the day. Nearly four decades later, I still look back fondly to that golden day at sea.24. The author says “Im so glad I did.” (in Para.2) because _. A. he witnessed the whole process of fishing B. he enjoyed the beauty of the calm sea C. he experienced the rescue of the whales D. he spent the weekend with his family25. The harbor survived the storm because of _. A. the shape of the harbor B.the protection of the arms of the bay C. the still water in the channel D. the long coast line26. The mother whale failed to help her baby because _. A. she had stayed in the polluted water for too long B. the whirlpools she had made were not big enough C. she had no other whales around to turn to for help D. the waves made by her pushed her baby in the wrong direction27. What is the story mainly about? A. Saving lives brings people a sense of happiness. B. Fishing provides excitement for children. C. Its necessary to live in harmony with animals. D. Its important to protect the environment. CThe Ministry of Health has called for more awareness from the public on the mental health of the young, as part of efforts to mark World Mental Health Day.More than 15 percent of the Chinese youth have been found with mental problems, and about 30 million young people under 17 are suffering from depression, the Shanghai-based Wenhui Daily reported.The World Health Organization predicted that before 2020, the rate of children with mental problems will increase to 50 percent, and mental problems will become a major factor behind death and illness in the young worldwide.Deng Xiaohong, the spokesperson for the Beijing Municipal Health Bureau, said rapid social change is one of the reasons behind the rising number of youngsters with psychological problems. If these mental diseases are not addressed on time, occurrence of crime, drugtaking and other dangerous behavior is expected to rise.Experts said mental disease could be caused by many factors, such as the inability to handle interpersonal relations well, unstable (不稳定的) emotions and pressure from the heavy burden of study. A number of experts have also said the one-child policy is another reason leading to poor mental health in the young.Children were said to be too “spoiled” and “selfish” in one-child families. Schools in many cities were reported taking measures to help students maintain（保持）their mental health. Yin Jingmiao, a teacher of the Beijing No. 105 Middle School, told China Daily that the school invites psychologists(心理学家) to provide counseling (咨询) to students three times a month. “Students can be arranged to have 40minute counseling lessons,” Yin said. The school also gives lectures on mental health to senior grade students before they take the national college entrance exams, to help ease any anxiety arising from the tests.28. What is the purpose of the passage?A. To call for awareness on mental health of the young.B. To give details of the problems the Chinese youth are facing today.C. To recommend that schools should invite more psychologists to help students.D. To show us causes of the mental problems among students.29. The underlined word “addressed” in the fourth paragraph most probably means _.A. talked about B. dealt with C. decided D. introduced30. From the passage we can know that the causes of mental problems are mainly the following EXCEPT _. A. one-child policy B. lack of ability to handle interpersonal relations well C. lack of special training in mental health D. heavy burden from study31. We can learn that to bring down the occurrence of mental problems among the youth, _.A. special attention should be paid to the mental health of the youngB. psychologists must be a necessary part of schoolsC. there shouldnt be any tests to ease the pressure on the studentsD. parents must try their best to meet all the needs of their children DHonesty may seem to be the best policy and a value that parents teach their children.However，a new study has suggested that parents lie to their children more often than we think.“We are surprised by how often parenting by lying occurs to our children，”said researcher Kang Lee of the University of Toronto，Canada.“Our findings showed that even the parents who attached much importance to honesty with their children got involved in it.”Researchers ran two studies in which parents and students commented on nine situations where a parent lied to a child to either shape behaviour or make it happy.For instance，a parent is embarrassed by a childs crying and says，“The police will come to make sure that you behave if you dont stop crying now.”To control the emotion of the child，the parent told the child，“a favorite uncle has just died and become a star to watch over you.”The researchers tested about 130 parents，mostly moms，asking whether they had told similar lies.More than 70 percent said they taught their children that lying is unacceptable.Even so，nearly 80 percent of the parents admitted they had told at least one similar lie.Researcher Heyman suggested the reasons can be benefiting the parents themselves or protecting the child from scary issues，such as lying about a murder in the news.“Children sometimes behave in ways that are likely to harm their longterm interests，”said Heyman.“It is common for parents to try out a number of strategies，including lying.When parents are dealing with the demands of getting through the day，concerns about possible longterm negative influences on childrens beliefs about honesty are not necessarily at the front position.”32What can we learn from Paragraph 2?AMost parents dont lie to their children. BMany parents get used to teaching children by lying.CHonesty is no longer important in educating children.DTheres no doubt that children often lie to their parents.33Which of the following is NOT a reason for parenting by lying according to the text?AChildren may feel happy with the lies. BParents want to free themselves from trouble.CParents need to protect the children from bad things.DChildren sometimes dont want to know the truth.34According to Heyman，_.Anegative effects of lying arent paid enough attention toBchildren wont be misled about honesty by lyingCits unusual for parents to use lying to educate childrenDits strange that some people worry about childrens beliefs35The purpose of this text is to _.Ashow that children learn to lie from their parents Btell parents the importance of childrens honestyCshow how to educate children by lying Dshow parenting by lying is common第二节（共小题；每小题分，满分10分）根据短文内容，从短文后的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。How to keep healthy?
