   Since 1989, Dave Thomas, who died at age 69, was one of the most recognizable faces on TV. He appeared in more than 800 commercials (商业广告) for the hamburger chain named for his daughter, “As long as it works ,” he said in 1991, “I’ll continue to do those commercials.”
   Even though he was successful, Thomas remained troubled by his childhood. “He still won’t let anyone see his feet, which are out of shape because he never had proper-fitting shoes,” Wendy said in 1993. Born to a single mother, he was adopted (收养) as a baby by Rex and Auleva Thomas of Kalamazoo in Michigan. After Auleva died when he was 5, Thomas spent years on the road as Rex traveled around seeking construction work. “He fed me,” Thomas said, “and if I got out of line, he’d beat me.”
   Moving out on his own at 15, Thomas worked, first as a waiter, in many restaurants. But he had something much better in mind. “I thought if I owned a restaurant,” he said, “I could eat for free.” A 1956 meeting with Harland Sanders led Thomas to a career as the manager of a Kentucky Fried Chicken restaurant that made him a millionaire in 1968.
   In 1969, after breaking with Sanders, Thomas started the first Wendy’s Old Fashioned Hamburgers, in Columbus, Ohio, which set itself apart by serving made-to-order burgers. With 6,000 restaurants worldwide, the chain now makes $ 6 billion a year in sales.
   Although troubled by his own experience with adoption, Thomas, married since 1954 to Lorraine, 66, and with four grown kids besides Wendy, felt it could offer a future for other children. He started the Dave Thomas Foundation (基金会) for Adoption in 1992.
   In 1993, Thomas, who had left school at 15, graduated from Coconut Greek High School in Florida. He even took Lorraine to the graduation dance party. The kids voted him Most Likely to Succeed.
   “The Dave you saw on TV was the real Dave,” says friend Pat Williams. “He wasn’t a great actor or a great speaker. He was just Joe Everybody.”
   21. What is the article mainly about?
   1. The life of Dave Thomas.B. The dream of Dave Thomas.

C. The schooling of Dave Thomas.D. The growth of Dave Thomas’s business.

22. Choose the right time order of the following events in Thomas’s life.

1. graduated from high schoolb. started his own business
   c. became a millionaired. started a foundation
   e. met Harland Sanders
   1. e,b,c,d,aB. a,e,c,b,dC. e,c,b,d,aD. a,e,b,c,d

23. “He was just Joe Everybody.” (in the last paragraph) means ________.

A. Dave was famousB. Dave was ordinary

C. Dave was showyD. Dave was shy

B

For those that enjoy tricks, there is no better day than April 1. Known as April Fool’s day, it is the day of a year when light-hearted tricks are not just accepted but welcomed! Nobody knows how this fun tradition started. Some think it began in 1582 when the world moved away from the Julian calendar to the current Gregorian calendar. Others think it was to celebrate the beginning of spring.

No matter what the reason is, April Fool’s Day is a worldwide celebration, one that is celebrated by both individuals and organizations. Here are some of our favorites.

Autonomous Officer Chair

Last year, German car producer Audi showed their latest engineering---- an autonomous chair that could not only transport employees around the office, but also sense when they needed to go to the bathroom or wanted to drink a cup of coffee. Its face recognition technology would allow owners to avoid people they did not wish to meet. However, the video of the chair was released on April 1!

Food Creator

In 1878, the front page of the Daily Graphic published an article about Thomas Edison’s latest invention---- an invention that could change soil into vegetables and meat, and water into wine.

Given that the inventor was the genius behind the world’s first phonograph, the article was nothing but the truth. In fact, several newspapers wrote follow-up articles that praised the scientist’s intelligence. It was only a few days later that they realized that the invention had been shown on April 1!

Smell-Through-Vision

The British Broadcasting Company (BBC)is known for its serious programming, which is why it has been fooling people for decades. In 1961, the television station broadcast an interview with a professor who said he had created a machine that would make viewers test food’s smell through their television. He asked the audience to test the “smell-through-vision” by letting him know if they could smell the coffee and onions that were in the television studio. Sure enough, thousands of people called in. Some even said that the strong onion’s taste was making their eyes water!

24. What can we infer about the autonomous office chair?

A. It could be used as a robot. B. It could sense how people feel.

C. Office workers liked it very much. D. It would be widely used in the office.

25. Why did people say they smelled the onions through TV?

A. They believed what the BBC said. B. Onions have a very strong taste.

C. They could use a special machine. D. They had a good sense of smell.

26. What does the author think of these organizations’ behavior?

A. Annoying B. Boring C. Unfriendly D. Interesting

C

A hospital has been forced to ban Pokemon Go players from the site after a monster hub(妖怪枢纽站) was found in the A&E department. Royal Stoke University Hospital discovered that its casualty unit(急诊室) is on the same spot as a Pokemon Go ‘gym’ —— where players can train their newly caught Nintendo creatures.

The University Hospitals of North Midlands Trust agreed last week that patients can play Pokemon Go on wards because walking around is healthy. But the Trust has been forced to post a warning on its website about public access to A&E. It said if Pokemon Go becomes a major annoyance it would ask Nintendo—— which decides on the locations of the virtual gyms according using GPS——to have it removed from the premises(道馆).

Kevin Parker, associate chief nurse, said, “Members of the public who do not need to be at Royal Stoke should not attempt to enter A&E or any other part of the hospital building to play the game. The A&E department is incredibly busy this summer. We want the public to understand that anybody who visits the hospital solely to play the game will provide an unwanted distraction to the important work of the hospital. I’m also aware of various reports in the media of unsafe areas that the game has been played in.”

“Royal Stoke University Hospital is a safe area where gamers can enjoy Pokemon Go.” Michelle Harris, the Trust’s manager, said the game could still be played by those already in hospital. “We recognize that the Pokemon Go game encourages walking and exercise, which is something that the Trust is equally keen to promote,” she said.

There are a number of “walking routes” established throughout the Trust that can be used to combine walking and playing the game. “Walking just 30 minutes, five times a week, can help reduce the risk of preventable illnesses such as obesity, diabetes, and heart disease.”

There have been several warnings about the game since its UK release. Last week a group of teenagers in Wiltshire were left stranded almost 100ft underground after they got carried away searching for Pokemon Go characters. The four boys, aged 16 and 17, ended up getting lost and had to wait to get a phone signal before they could call for help. Eventually, they contacted Dorset and Wiltshire Fire and Rescue team, who took them to safety. Damien Bence, of the fire and rescue team, said: “Pokemon Go is obviously leading people into dangerous situations.”

27. It seems that Pokemon Go is a game______.

A. designed to help patients in hospital recover sooner

B. helping cure such diseases as obesity, diabetes and heart disease

C. encouraging players to walk and exercise instead of staying indoors

D. warning teenagers of the places easy to get lost or attacked

28. The A&E department is incredibly busy because________.

A. more patients’ arrival increases the workload of the A&E department

B. doctors’ playing the game makes the A&E department less efficient

C. players’ injury increases the workload of the A&E department

D. players’ arrival disturbs the work of the A&E department

29. The underlined word in the last paragraph probably means_______.

A. hurt B. disturbed C. trapped D. threatened

30. The passage is mainly about________.

A. the negative effects of Pokemon Go since its UK release

B. the applications of Pokemon Go in hospitals since its UK release

C. the popularity of Pokemon Go since its UK release

D. the establishment of Pokemon Go virtual gyms since its UK release

第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）

Have you ever lost your temper? Did you yell or scream at those around you, even people you like or love? Did you want to break something or hit someone?

Everyone gets angry. We have lots of emotions. At different times, we may be happy, sad or jealous. 31.

It’s perfectly okay to be angry at times--- in fact, it’s important to get angry sometimes. Anger can even be a good thing. When we are treated unfairly, anger can help us stand up for ourselves.

32 Some people keep their anger buried deep inside. If you do this, you might get a headache or your stomach might start to hurt. You may just feel crummy (糟糕的) about yourself or start to cry. It’s not good to hide your anger, so you should find a way to let it out without hurting yourself or others.

When you start to feel angry, you can count to 10, draw a picture of anger, play a video game, run as fast as you can or do something active. An effective way is to talk to a friend you can trust. 33.

34Instead, admit to yourself that you are angry and try to figure out why you are angry and what you can do to keep the situation from happening again.

Never getting angry is impossible. But, you should always remember that how you act when you’re angry can make the situation better or worse. 35Take charge of it!

A.  Once you talk about anger, those bad feelings usually start to go away.

B.  Taking it out on others never solves anything.

C.  Anger is just another way we feel.

D.  Here is an important way to deal with anger.

E.  But anger must be released in the right way.

F.  Every coin has two sides.

G.  Don’t let anger be the boss of you.

第四部分：读后续写（满分25分）

阅读下面短文，根据所给情节进行续写，使之构成一个完整的故事。

Christmas Day was coming. I was just a kid then, and my big sister told me there was no Santa Claus. I fled to my Grandma because she would be straight with me. I knew Grandma always told me the truth. Grandma was home, and I told her everything. She was ready for me. “No Santa Claus!” She shouted. “Ridiculous! Don’t believe it.” That rumor has been going around for years, and it makes me mad, plain mad.

“Now, put on your coat, and let’s go.”

“Go where, Grandma?” I asked. “Where” turned out to be Kerby’s General Store, the one store in town that had a little bit of just about everything. As we walked through its doors, Grandma handed me ten dollars. “Take this money, ” she said, “and buy something for someone who needs it. I’ll wait for you in the car.” Then she turned and walked out of Kerby’s.

I was only eight years old. I’d often gone shopping with my mother, but never had I shopped for anything all by myself. The store seemed big and crowded, full of people competing to finish their Christmas shopping. For a few moments I just stood there, confused, holding that ten-dollar bill, wondering what to buy and who to buy it for. I suddenly thought of Bobby Decker, who was a kid with bad breath and messy hair. He sat right behind me in Mrs Pollock’s grade-two class. Bobby Decker didn’t have a coat. I knew that because he never went out for recess(放假)duringthe winter. His mother always wrote a note, telling the teacher that he had a cough, but we kids knew that Bobby Decker didn’t have a cough, and he didn’t have a coat. I would buy Bobby Decker a coat! I settled on a red one, which looked really warm, and he would like that.

“Is this a Christmas present for someone?” the lady behind the counter asked kindly, as I laid my ten dollars down. “Yes.”

The nice lady smiled at me, put the coat in a bag and wished me a Merry Christmas.

One possible version:

Paragraph 1:

That evening, Grandma helped me wrap the coat in Christmas paper. She wrote “To Bobby, From Santa Claus” on it, after which she drove me over to Bobby Decker’s house, explaining I was officially one of Santa’s helpers. Grandma parked down the street form Bobby’s house, and I took a deep breath, and dashed for his front door. Seeing no other people notice us, I put the Christmas present down, pounded his doorbell and then Grandma and I hid in the car.

Paragraph2:

Grandma and I waited breathlessly for Bobby Decker’s front door to open and finally it opened. Out went Bobby Decker. Seeing the coat in the bag, he looked very astonished and then called his mother to go out. After hearing them say “Thanks” to Santa Claus, I felt very proud of what I had done. At that time I decided to be Santa’s helper for ever. It was on that night that I realized the truth that he who has no Christmas in his heart will never find Christmas under a tree.
