However, I had a different experience in Berkeley, a beautiful city in California, US. I didn’t know what to do when I had to cross the roads   46  my first couple of days there: I wondered whether I should let the car go first or not? Based on my old experience back in China, I would certainly let the car go. “Who wants to be knocked down by a car?” I thought to   47  . One day, I was checking for cars while I was waiting to go to the other side of the road. An SUV came fast toward me, so I stopped and   48  . However, to my great surprise, the car stopped right in front of me. To be honest, I was a little confused because in China drivers usually try hard to drive as   49  as possible to cross the road before people step out. Not knowing what to do for a moment, I saw no sign the car was going to move, so I offered a “signal’ to let him go first. A. Because of B. peace C. again and again D. safe E. After The driver waved to me with a gentle smile, seemingly saying: “Go buddy! You first!”   50  a polite battle, I gave in and walked onto the crossing first. This took place nearly six months ago, but the scene still comes back to my mind   51  .

Choose the best answer（根据短文内容，选择最恰当的答案): ( 12分) One day, early in the morning on my way to work, I saw a little girl carrying a small Cambridge schoolbag. I could imagine that she must be proud of her schoolbag. The bag is designed for students, which can hold a lot of things, such as textbooks, pens and pencils, snacks and water! Students just carry it on their shoulders, and it is easy for them. I was really amazed by the wisdom of businessmen. I remembered I had a green cloth bag, which was very rough, but strong. At that time I was short, so my mom made the bag rope shorter. After eating all the meals prepared by my mother, I said to her, “I will go to school now. Bye!” I ran to school with my classmates. At that time, this schoolbag was so light. When I jumped, it jumped. All things in this bag had a collision (碰撞). They gave out cheerful sounds all the way along. At the time I was so happy. As I grew older, the schoolbag became heavier and heavier. My green schoolbag could not be used any longer. The bag was worn down, the mouth was opened, and finally it came to an end. My mother bought me another bag, and it was very big. I liked the Mickey Mouse pattern. The bag had a few pockets and both sides of the bag could carry a bottle. It was convenient! I was happy to go out every day with the new bag. Five or six miles of the trip to school seemed as if it were a few steps away. That year I was 12 years old. Though my first schoolbag wasn’t made in the UK, and it was made by my mother herself, it was still a real Cambridge schoolbag in my mind. 69. ________ caught the writer’s attention on his way to work.

I can tell you now that it is a   75  . The rain in Spain seems to fall mostly on me. I am spending a year in Galicia and, although it is certainly a beautiful part of the world, I think it rains more than in England. There are no plains here. It is a coastal area, and clouds and storms directly get pushed in from over the ocean with force. As I write, there is a heavy rain outside. I have three umbrellas. Two big ones and a little one which I keep on me   76  ,  just in case. Believe me what I tell you is all true. The problem is that very often, umbrellas offer no help at all. The wind is so strong that even the best umbrella in the world becomes useless.   77  , I often arrive at work with a dry head and shoulders (protected by my umbrella), but with wet feet and legs. The rain falls hard and fast, and there is no escaping it. When people from England think of Spain, they imagine beaches and sunshine. Those things are a world away from my experiences here in Galicia. But I’m not   78  . It is because of all this rain that the countryside here is so green and beautiful. In the town a very nice white wine is made. And there are beautiful beaches here in Galicia, although there probably is   79  on them at the moment. And most important of all is the people. They are very friendly here. Most people I have spoken to are helpful. So I think that’s worth having a bit of   80  for. Anyway, I love my life here in Galicia. 75.

When facing an exam, EQ helps us to manage our feelings. When getting along with friends or parents, EQ helps us to c  81  well. EQ is shaped partly by genetics（基因）. You can see some babies are quiet, while others are not. B  82  , EQ is something you can learn for yourself. You can learn what different feelings might mean and how they relate to yourself and others. If we learn in the right way, our EQ can get better as we get older. Children with a high EQ usually have greater success with making friends. Having a high EQ needs a few different skills. Learning about these skills can help us to i  83  our EQ. But what are they? Let’s take a look! 1. Know yourself Most people feel many different feelings t  84  the day. Some feelings like surprise last just a few seconds. Others, like happiness and sadness, may stay around much l  85  . Being able to recognize these everyday feelings is the most basic of all EQ skills. 2. Manage yourself We all get angry. We all have disappointments. But we need to control it. It is not always the right time or place to express our feelings. When you are angry with someone, take a deep breath and s  86  count to 10. This way, you can calm down. 3. Encourage yourself When you fail an exam, you may be disappointed. But there is something more effective you can do—learn to encourage yourself. It gives you the energy and c  87  to move on. It helps you to build a strong heart. D. Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题): ( 12分) Ms. LaRosa is a great teacher. She can answer almost any question that you have about any history topic and if she cannot, she will try her best to help you find the answer. Although she has a hearing aid(助听器), she does not let that prevent her from being a great teacher. She told the class about it on the first day and told us not to let it get in the way of our learning and not to treat her differently. We all like her class, especially an activity which is called the station. Stations are when our tables of four or five become our groups and we go through four various activities, such as Ancient China, in which we need to put together a sentence and write it using ancient symbols. Each station needs about 40 minutes to complete. Ms. LaRosa has a policy that not many teachers give a second thought to. That is writing in cursive (草书的)letters. She will provide you with various resources so that your cursive handwriting is the best that it can be. Ms. LaRosa always says that she has a reason for everything that she does. Recently we just understood her reason for supporting cursive handwriting. Cursive writing can force you to think in words but not in letters. Also it has been proven that people who write in cursive letters do better on tests.
