Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with kinds of situations．
Love plays an important role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care, they teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we always tend to take this for granted (认为理所应当). It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to others’ feelings.
Happiness achieved by bringing a smile on other's face gives a certain level of fulfillment(成就)．Peace of mind makes you feel happy. No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are sad．Sadness comes from the death of a loved one or the failure .But all of these things will pass away.
Failure is the way to success, and it helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, fame, pride and self-respect.
Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.
Life teaches us not to regret over yesterday, for it has passed and is beyond our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dull. So what we can choose is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow.
43. In which section can readers probably read the passage?
A. Education B. Travel C. Lifestyles D. Business
44. In the passage，the author compares life to _________.
A. package B. happiness and sadness
C. failure and success D. hope and despair
45. What does the underlined word “despair” mean in Chinese?
A. 颓废 B. 遗憾 C. 悲伤 D. 绝望
46. What’s the general meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage?
A. What you only can choose is to work hard every day.
B. If you work hard today, you will have a better life in the future.
C. When choosing between “today” and “tomorrow”, you’d better enjoy tomorrow better.
D. Enjoying a better tomorrow is your only choice.
47. What’s the purpose of the passage?
A. To encourage people to love each other.
B. To tell people how to deal with happiness and sadness.
C. To remind people of working hard for a better tomorrow.
D. To give readers some information about life.
第Ⅱ卷（非选择题，共41分）
五、任务型阅读：（共3小题，满分6分）
When you passed your exam and you felt happy, that feeling came from your brain. The time your friend was ill and you were worried, that was your brain again! And when your parents didn’t allow you to go to that cool party, you were angry. That feeling, just like the others, came from your brain too, or rather a small almond — shaped section of cells which is hard at work whenever you feel an emotion.
Some emotions are seen as good, like happiness, and others are seen as bad, like anger and sadness, but actually, all emotions are good because they are our natural reaction to situations and they are part of what makes us human. Wouldn’t it be strange if someone stole your bicycle and you didn’t feel angry?
Our emotions allow us to show our actions to situations and help us deal with them. But that doesn’t mean to say that we should act any way we want. After all, it wouldn’t be a good idea to jump for joy when you learn you have passed your exam just as your best friend next to you finds out that he has failed. Similarly, if you are angry, it is not OK to shout at someone, or even worse, hit them. But it is OK to allow yourself to have those feelings. The feelings are natural. It is our actions that we must control.
48. Which part of our body controls our emotions?
49. Why are all emotions good?
50. Can we control our actions? What do you think would happen if we don’t control our actions?
六、根据中文或上下文填入适当的单词，每空一词（共10小题，每题1分，满分10分）

52. Dr. Bethune, with his_______________（医疗的）team, set off for the front at once.
53. The new _______________ (秘书) are taking a training course this week.
54. He asked me to put the chair ______________ (紧靠着) the wall.
55. The more she makes up, the______________ (丑的) she becomes.
56. Someone has ______________ (粗心大意地) left a window open.
57. Do you mind _____________ a hole for me? I want to plant a tree here.

I want to be a volunteer of protecting animals
Hello everyone. I'm Amy. I want to be a volunteer of protecting animals. I'm glad to make a speech here. I am kind to others. I like looking after homeless animals. I am generous and often donate my money to the local charities. I have ever organized a charity show to raise money for WWF. What’s more, I hand out leaflets to ask people to protect animals.
We should make friends with animals. I think protecting animals is protecting ourselves, so it is important for everyone to protect them.
If I can be a volunteer, I will work harder and do more meaningful things to protect animals. I will call on more people to love animals like me. I must try my best to make the world more beautiful.
