A seaside Long Island village on Saturday honored the memory of a girl whose message in a

bottle was found after Superstorm Sandy, discovered by cleanup workers a dozen years after she threw it into the ocean.

A plate was placed on a rock near the bridge, where the bottle was discovered in December. It

reads: “Be excellent to yourself dude(朋友),” the same message inside the bottle. The note, a line

from the 1989 Keanu Reeves movie “Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure,” was written by Sidonie

Fery and threw into the ocean inside a bottle. She died in 2010 at the age of 18 in a fall from a cliff(悬崖) in Switzerland.

The bottle only traveled a mile or two westward from where it was likely deposited to the

location where cleanup workers found it. It was intermingled with broken clothes, boating equipment and a range of sea trash.

But because the note included the girl's New York City phone number, what otherwise would

have been a worthless piece of trash became a priceless souvenir. Workers in Patchogue, about 60 miles (100 kilometers) east of Manhattan, called the number and returned the bottle to her mother, Mimi Fery.

Fery said she sobbed when she heard workers had found the bottle and was grateful to them.

“It's unbelievable,” she said Saturday of the ceremony. “The town is amazing, my daughter was a lovely and lively person and very fun, she would do fun things. She always brought joy to everybody no matter how she felt.”

The plate also reads: “I learned that even though someone is very small they may have a big

heart” and bears a photo of a smiling, young Sidonie along with the date the bottle was found: Dec. 6, 2012.

1. The passage is mainly written to _____.
   1. tell us how to write a note B. inform us of some useful tips
      C. share with us a moving story D. introduce the bottle message
2. The underlined word “intermingled” in Paragraph 3 is closest in meaning to _____.

3. Keanu’s movie “Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure” came out.
4. A plate was placed to honor the memory of Sidonie.
5. Cleanup workers found the bottle and called Fery.

1. c-b-a-e-d B. c-b-e-a-d C. c-a-b-d-e D. c-a-b-e-d

1. Which of the following can best describe Sidonie?
   1. Helpful and optimistic. B. Small but promising.
      C. Lovely but pitiful. D. Smart and beautiful.
      C
      Ask people in the UK what the words “Sunday roast” mean to them, and they’ll probably take
      you back to their grandmothers’ dining rooms – maybe with a few stories of “the greatest puddings” and “the best ever steak”. But now the traditional Sunday roast seems to have been left back in the old days. According to the Daily Mail, just one in 50 British families sits down to this weekly meal together.
      There are many reasons why the roast is becoming less popular. In the busy modern world,
      where breakfast is a slice of toast eaten on the way to work or school and lunch is a quick sandwich in front of the computer screen, people just don’t seem to have the time or patience to make a roast.
      And Sunday was once a day when people could easily go to the kitchen to cook. Nowadays,
      people are often out shopping or at the cinema until it’s far too late to start thinking about heating the oven(烤箱) up.
      However, a recent article from The Telegraph warned against being carried away by our tight
      schedules: “It would be a shame to let this fine old tradition disappear.”
      The Guardian further explained that the eating of the big meal is only the half of it. The Sunday roast also makes for relaxed morning activities in the kitchen, and the table becomes the perfect place to share good food and chat with family and friends. “For busy moms and dads, even if you can manage to turn off your mobile phone and the TV only once a week and turn the Sunday roast into a real family event, children can have fun cooking the food and clearing up together.”
2. The best title for the passage is probably _____.
   1. Sunday—Best Time for Family B. Sunday Roast Dying Out
      C. It’s the Perfect Time for Us D. Let’s Sit Down Together
3. Why do people pay less attention to Sunday roast?
   1. They have a busy lifestyle. B. They have no interest in cooking.
      C. They don’t think it worthwhile. D. They are living in the modern society.
4. What does the underlined word “it” in the last paragraph refer to?
   1. A recent article. B. A traditional kitchen.
      C. The fine old tradition. D. Sunday morning activity.
5. How does the author feel towards Sunday roast’s dying out?
   1. Doubtful. B. Positive. C. Sorry. D. Uncertain.
      D
      Your alarm goes off on your phone, and instead of turning it off and going on sleeping, you pick it up and stupidly say, “Hello?”
      You are, to use the technical term, suffering sleep drunkenness(迷糊), those first few confused
      minutes people sometimes experience after waking, according to a just-published paper in
      Neurology( 神经学). For the first time, the phenomenon has been studied in a general adult population.
      In telephone interviews the researchers conducted with more than 19,000 healthy individuals,
      about 25 percent reported experiencing some sort of sleep-drunk episode(插曲) in the last year, and
      12 percent said this happens to them at least once a week.
      Most of their stories were actually pretty funny, said Stanford University School of Medicine psychiatrist(精神病学家) Maurice Ohayon. One man picked up his alarm clock and mistook it for his phone, holding a two-minute conversation on it. Another participant woke in the middle of the night and couldn’t find the bathroom in her own home. Other common examples are that foggy feeling you get when you first wake up with a start on a Saturday before realizing it’s the weekend, or when you wake up in a hotel room and can’t immediately figure out where you are.
      Ohayon explains that an abrupt awakening, to our poor, half-asleep brains, signals an
      emergency — a time for action, not reason.
      “For most people, and especially if this only happens to you every once in a while, it’s nothing
      to worry about. But for people who experience sleep drunkenness once a week or more, you might as well refer to professional help to have a sound sleep.”
6. The intended readers of the passage are probably _____.

1. adults who don’t sleep well
2. teenagers who don’t have enough sleep
3. people who suffer sleep drunkenness
4. researchers who are fond of sleep disorder

1. We can know from the first 3 paragraphs that _____.

1. it’s stupid to leave the alarm on when sleep
2. after waking all people struggled for awareness
3. there are many studies on adults’ sleep patterns
4. it’s common for adults to suffer sleep drunkenness

1. The fourth paragraph tells us that sleep drunkenness _____.
   1. occurs in different occasions B. comes without any reason
      C. hits when people are sleeping D. attacks those who are clouded
2. What will be talked about after the last paragraph?

1. Something to expand your sleep time.
2. Ways to improve your sleep pattern.
3. Methods of curing sleep drunkenness.
4. Tips on how to help you to sleep better.

第二节 （共5小题；每小题2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。

Americans use many expressions with the word dog. People in the United States love their dogs

and treat them well. They take their dogs for walks, let them play outside and give them good food

and medical care. 36 The expression, to lead a dog’s life, describes a person who has an

unhappy existence.

Some people say we live in a dog-eat-dog world. 37 They say that to be successful, a

person has to work like a dog. This means they have to work very, very hard. Such hard work can make people dog-tired. And, the situation would be even worse if they became sick as a dog.

Still, people say every dog has its day. This means that every person enjoys a successful period

during his or her life. To be successful, people often have to learn new skills. Yet, some people say

that you can never teach an old dog new tricks. 38

Some people are compared to dogs in bad ways. People who are unkind or uncaring can be described as meaner than a junkyard dog. Husbands and wives use this doghouse term when they are angry at each other. For example, a woman might get angry at her husband for coming home late or

forgetting their wedding anniversary. She might tell him that he is in the doghouse. 39

However, the husband may decide that it is best to leave things alone and not create more problems. He might decide to let sleeping dogs lie.

40 The dog days of summer are the hottest days of the year. A rainstorm may cool the

weather. But we do not want it to rain too hard. We do not want it to rain cats and dogs.

1. She may not treat him nicely until he apologizes.
2. Dog expressions also are used to describe the weather.
3. They firmly belief that dogs are the best friends of human beings.
4. She will drop a line to remind him of it or ring him back at once.
5. However, dogs without owners to care for them lead a different kind of life.
6. That means many people are competing for the same things, like good jobs.
7. They believe that older people do not like to learn new things and will not change the way they do things.

Many of us enjoy music because of the way it makes us feel. But for chimps (黑猩猩), it’s nothing more than a lot of noise.

Scientists from the University of York, UK, found that chimps don’t appreciate listening to

music, despite their DNA 61 (be) 96 to 98 percent similar to that of humans.

In the study, a “jukebox (自动唱机)” 62 (create), which allowed chimps to select their

favorite classical, pop or rock music, or 63 (simple) to choose silence. The animals walked

away from the music they seemed to dislike the most. The study found they were less likely 64

(walk) away from classical music like Mozart than fast-paced pop songs like those of Justin Bieber’s.

Emma Wallace from the University of York told the Daily Mail that the fast-paced rhythm may

have been 65 turned the chimps off.

“66 it’s more possible for the chimpanzees to leave to the faster music, they did not show

67 actual preference for the slower classical music,” said Wallace. “In fact, they seem to be

Howtodevelop a betterparent-childrelationship

Nowadays many young parents are addicted to their electric devices like smart phones orcomputers, paying less or no attention to their kids.

Then how does it come about? Admittedly, the smart phone indeed dramatically changes our

life. With it, people can do nearly everything they want, such as surfing the Internet for information, watching films or videos, doing some online shopping and playing games as well. Thus, a smart phone serves as a platform for them to get fun in a comfortable and convenient way. As a result, more and more young parents are being attracted.

However, nothing can replace face-to-face communication between parents and kids, which

requires parents to think about the real meaning of life, spend more time with the children and share the fun together. Only in this way can a better parent-child relationship be developed.
