A
I bought a jasmine plant for my office. When I bought it, I was told it would bloom （开花） and the sweet smell would fill my office. I had the plant for two months, and every day I looked at it, but there weren’t any flowers or pleasant smell. I was not happy, so I gave the plant to my friend Linda.
One day, another friend Mary called and invited me to her office. When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. I reached out to touch the flowers. Mary cut some and gave them to me. I couldn’t help smelling them. Surrounded by the sweet smell of only a handful of these flowers, I suddenly understood something.
Mary bought her plant the same time I did. It took a year for her jasmine to bloom. I was so impatient for mine to bloom; regretfully, I gave it away.
In a way my life is like the jasmine plant. I need to be patient and let things happen.
Last Sunday Linda told me that she was going abroad the next week. Before she left, she returned the plant to me. This time I am going to wait. I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. I am slowly learning to have that patience to wait for my jasmine to bloom.

A. one day B. one year
C. two weeks D. two months
47. When the writer saw Mary’s jasmine, she felt .

Deep down in the sea，Oliver, a little octopus (章鱼) sat on the floor covered with sand，bored and upset. He watched pretty fish swimming in and out of rocks，which were laughing and dancing in the sea. “Why am I so different?” he said to himself sadly.
“You are an octopus，Oliver. That’s special. ” The sweet voice of Cherub, a beautiful purple angelfish (神仙鱼)，always made Oliver feel better. Oliver looked up at the purple angelfish and smiled. Cherub suggested，“Let’s play hide-and-seek (捉迷藏). ” They were having so much fun that they didn’t realize they had swum far from home. Suddenly，Cherub saw a large shark(鲨鱼)swimming above them. “It was Big White. . . the biggest，scariest shark in the sea,” she shouted to Oliver. Cherub looked at Big White hopelessly. She was too frightened to swim. Just at this moment, Big White rushed down toward them. An idea came to Oliver. He quickly sprayed (喷射) a very dark cloud of black water to the shark’s eyes. Then Oliver and Cherub escaped and got home safely.
“Are you OK?” asked Oliver. Cherub laughed happily，“That was the most interesting trip ever! You saved me just now，Oliver. I am lucky to have you as my friend!” Oliver’s face turned red. “I guess being different can be pretty cool in some situations,” Oliver said. “That is what I tried to tell you，” Cherub smiled.

11～15 CACBA
16. Summer 17. 8 a. m. 18. school 19. bus 20. sunny
21. B arrive意为“到达”，是不及物动词，到达大的地方用介词in，到达小的地方用介词at；表示在具体的某一天或某个特定的上午、下午或晚上时，要用介词on，故选B项。
22. C 由today可知后面用现在的某种时态，while从句中的谓语动词应用延续性动词，用现在进行时。故选C项。
23. A 句意：我将一直等待你的来信。until意为“直到……”。
24. B be full of意为“充满”，为固定搭配。
25. D else副词，意为“另外，其他”，常置于不定代词或疑问词之后。
26. C 由句意“当我到达电影院时，电影已经上演五分钟了。”可知空格处应用过去完成时，且句中有for five minutes，故句中谓语动词应用延续性动词，故选C。
27. A hundred，thousand，million等数词与具体数字连用时，用单数形式；若与of连用表示约数时，常用复数形式，且不可与具体数字连用。hundreds of意为“成百上千的”，故选A项。
28. C 某时刻前用介词at；具体到某天的上午、下午或晚上用介词on。故选C项。
29. B 句意：我非常饿，请给我三片面包吃。bread为不可数名词，不能用数词直接来修饰，同时不可数名词没有复数形式，排除A、D两项。piece为可数名词，其复数形式为pieces。a piece of…表示“一张/一件/一片/一首/一条……”，常用来修饰不可数名词，表达数量。故选B项。
30. C get married to sb. 意为“嫁给某人；跟某人结婚”，为固定短语，故选C项。
31. A because“因为”；though“尽管；虽然”，均与句意不符，可排除C、D两项；while 引导的时间状语从句通常用进行时态，表示主句的动作发生的同时，从句的动作也正在发生，可排除B项；when“当……的时候”，常用来引导时间状语从句，谓语动词的动作可与主句动作同时发生，也可先后发生，故选A项。
32. C put on“穿上；戴上”；turn off “关闭”；get to“到达”；get on“上车”。画线部分arrive in表示“到达”，相当于get to。故选C项。
33. D forget to do sth.为固定短语，意为“忘记要做某事”，排除A、C两项；由句意“当别人帮助你时，不要忘记说谢谢”可知选D。
34. B run off “逃跑”；go off “发出响声”；give out “分发”；give up “放弃”。由句意“我今天迟到了，因为我的闹钟没有响”知选B。
35. C “leave sth. at/in+someplace”意为“把……忘在某地”，为固定用法。
36. B chance“机会”，advice“建议”，excuse“借口”，business“商业”。根据文章最后一段的“So my advice is this: If a snake bites you, pick up your phone. ”可知选B。
37. A suddenly“突然”，nearly“几乎”，especially“尤其”，fortunately“幸运地”。根据文章叙述，应该是“突然”一条蛇出现了，咬到了杰克逊先生的手。
38. C 通过前文“…Henry Jackson was working in a restaurant kitchen. ”可知故事应该是发生在一家饭馆里，所以本题选择restaurant。
39. B 根据文章含义可知应该是这条蛇爬出了箱子然后“藏”在盘子底下，故选择hid（原形hide“隐藏”）。其他三个hung（原形hang“悬挂”），jumped（原形jump“跳”），ran（原形run“跑”）均与文意不符。
40. D under “在……下面”，into “进入”，towards “朝”。不能将蛇扔到厨房下面，故排除under；根据前文我们知道这条蛇本来就在厨房内，所以throw…into “扔进（厨房）”和throw…towards“扔向（厨房）”均不符合逻辑。故只有D符合题意，throw it across the kitchen意为“把它从厨房的这一边扔向那一边”。
41. A stay cool意为“保持冷静”，说的是杰克逊先生保持镇静，用手机给蛇拍了一张照片。其他形容词noisy（吵闹的），pleased（满意的），afraid（害怕的）都与文章前面的anyway（无论如何）不符。
42. C 从前文“bit him on the hand”可知“Soon his hand began to ache…（很快他的手开始疼……）”，所以选hand。
43. D 通过“Doctors couldn’t say what was wrong”和“they didn’t know what kind of snake it was”可知“医生说不清楚状况”的原因是“他们不知道这条蛇的种类”，所以选because。
44. B send sth. to…意为“把某物送/寄到……”，根据文章含义，医生把杰克逊先生拍摄的照片发送到伦敦动物园。
45. C 从全文可知杰克逊先生给大家的建议是如果蛇咬了你，给它拍照。所以本题应用it（蛇）的形容词性物主代词its。
46. D 由第一段中的I had the plant for two months…so I gave the plant to my friend Linda. 可知，在把这盆茉莉花送人之前，作者已经养了它两个月。
47. D 由第二段的第二句When I walked in, her jasmine flowers surprised me. 可知，当作者看到玛丽的茉莉花时，她感到很惊讶。
48. A 由最后一段中的I have learned that when we want something in our life, we have to be patient. 可知，作者从自己的经历中总结出的结论是：生活中需要耐心。
49. D 在第六段中，Helen向Holmes介绍了自己的继父及她的家庭。故选D。
50. B 由第七段Holmes is sitting in his chair. His eyes are closed. He is listening carefully to Helen’s story. He hears every detail. 可知，当Helen 讲述她的故事时，Holmes在认真听。
51. D 由倒数第三段中He talks to no one except the gypsies. They are poor people who travel from place to place. 可知，吉普赛人到处流浪。故选D。
52. A 由短文的内容和写作风格可知，这篇文章不是来自一本指南、一首诗或一则广告，可能来自一篇小说，故答案为A。
53. B 通读第一段可知，bored and upset，sadly是描述Oliver的词语。而第二句He watched pretty fish swimming in and out of rocks，which were laughing and dancing in the sea. 中的which 一词指代的是pretty fish，故laugh动作的发出者是pretty fish，而不是Oliver。此句表述错误。
54. A 由第二段中They were having so much fun that they didn’t realize they had swum far from home. Suddenly，Cherub saw a large shark swimming above them. 可知此句表述正确。
55. B 由第二段中Cherub looked at Big White hopelessly. She was too frightened to swim. Just at this moment, Big White rushed down toward them. An idea came to Oliver. He quickly sprayed a very dark cloud of black water to the shark’s eyes. Then Oliver and Cherub escaped and got home safely. 可知神仙鱼Cherub看到大白鲨后很绝望，小章鱼Oliver想出了主意，并让他们两个成功脱险，故可推知Oliver面对危险表现勇敢和平静而不是Cherub，故此句表述错误。
56. A 由第二段中An idea came to Oliver. He quickly sprayed a very dark cloud of black water to the shark’s eyes. Then Oliver and Cherub escaped and got home safely. 可知此句表述正确。
57. B 由第三段中I guess being different can be pretty cool in some situations…（我想与众不同在某些情况下会比较酷……）可知，是在某些情况下每个人都有自己的优点，而不是在所有情况下，故此句表述错误。
58. C 由下文Why？What happened？可知，“我”度过了糟糕的一天。
59. G 由下句 “你有时间找人修理它吗？”可知，此处指的是“在上学的路上，自行车坏了”。
60. D 由下面的You mean you walked to school?可知是没有时间找人修理自行车，故选D项。
61. A 由下面的You were late for a test. 可知，此处说的与考试有关，故选A项。
62. B 由上面的… I went to the library to study for the math test… 可知，是把数学书忘在家里了。
63. west 64. fool 65. discovery
66. cancelled 67. disappear 68. believable
One possible version:
Dear Tom，
I really had a bad day today! This morning my alarm clock went off at the usual time. I thought it was the weekend, so I turned off the alarm clock and then continued to sleep. I woke up about two hours later. I love to have a lazy Saturday morning. But when I opened my eyes and saw my sports bag, I remembered I had planned to go running with Jane. But in fact, it was a school day! By the time I got to school, the first class had been over. What a bad day!
Yours,
Linda
