The village shops were in the other direction and, as far as I knew, this road went through the jungle.“It wont take long. Just half an hour! Theyre killing us! Its 3-0 already, we really need you,” I begged. It was unlike Decha to turn down a game of football.“Where are you going anyway?” I asked as I fell into step with him.“Its just a ” he was looking over his shoulder at the other boys, but they werent paying us any attention. “You can come if you like.” he whispered. I dont know what it was, but suddenly my interest was aroused. Decha was a football addict. I knew my friend was up to something.“OK,” I said casually, trying to hide my curiosity.We walked along in silence for a few minutes until we went into the jungle. The temperature dropped instantly. There were no pathways, but it was clear that someone had passed through recently.“We need to be really quiet.” Decha warned suddenly. “We dont want to frighten them.” He shifted a bag that I hadnt even noticed onto his shoulder. My heart was beating wildly.Eventually, we stopped at a pile of fallen leaves. Inside the pile, four small furry bodies lay there with their mouths wide open. Taking out some bread from his bag, Decha said, “Their mother is hurt and cant feed herself, but shes getting stronger every day.”28. What made the author think Dechas behavior was unusual?A.

UnfriendlyDScientists have been studying how people use money for long. Now theyre finding some theories may apply to one group of monkeys.Researchers recently taught six monkeys how to use money. They gave the monkeys small metal disks（圆片）that could be used like cash and showed them some yummy apple pieces. The monkeys soon figured out that if they gave one of the disks to a scientist, theyd receive a piece of apple in return.If you think that is all the monkeys can figure out, you are wrong. Two researchers, Jake and Allison, acted as apple sellers in the experiments. The monkeys were tested one at a time and had 12 disks to spend in each experiment. Jake always showed the monkeys one apple piece, while Allison always showed two pieces. But thats not necessarily what they gave the monkeys. The number of apple pieces given for a disk was determined at random.Experiment One: Allison showed two pieces of apples but gave both piece only half the time. The other half, she took one piece away and gave the monkey just the remaining piece. Jake, on the other hand, always gave exactly what he showed: one piece for each disk. The monkeys chose to trade more with Allison.Experiment Two: Allison continued to sometimes gave two pieces and sometimes one piece. But now, half the time, Jake gave the one apple piece he was showing, and half the time he added a bonus. Guess what? The monkeys chose to trade more with Jake.In the first experiment, the monkeys correctly figured out that if they traded with Allison, theyd end up with more treats. In the second one, when a monkey received two pieces from Jake, it seemed like a gain. When Allison gave the monkey only one piece instead of the two she showed, it seemed like a loss. The monkeys preferred trading with Jake because theyd rather take a chance of seeming to win than seeming to lose.We also sometimes make silly business decisions just to avoid the feeling that were getting less, even when were not. Would you have made the same choices?32. What conclusion might experts draw from the first experiment?A. People are smarter in terms of finance.B. Its easy to teach monkeys how to trade.C. Business theories can apply to all monkeys.D. The monkeys show certain business sense.33. What does “a bonus” in paragraph 5 refer to?A. A coin.B. A chance.C. A metal disk.D. An apple piece.34. Why did the monkeys choose to trade more with Jake in the second experiment?A. Because they didnt like the feeling of losing.B. Because they get more apple pieces from Jake.C. Because Jake always gave them two apple pieces.D. Because the apple pieces from Jake were yummy.35. What could be the best title for the passage?A. Disk for Apple: Who to Trade with?B. Shopping for Bargain: Same or different?C. Monekys Business Sense: Smart or Silly?D. Peoples Business Decision: Lose or Gain?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。Its an unquestioned truth of modern life: we are starved for time. We try our best to save bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally get to everything we want to do. But bits of time here and there. Add it up, and we will finally get to everything we want to do. But this idea has been completely backward. 36 We build the lives we want, and then time saves itself.Do we really have no time? “I dont have time, ”often means “Its not a priority (优先事项). ”Time is highly flexible. We cannot make more time. However, time will stretch (延展)to accommodate what we choose to put into it. No one will leave the broken water heater aside. So not doing something is not a matter of lacking time;37Actually, its a matter of choice.How do we treat our priorities? First, we need to figure out what our priorities are. Actually we may give ourselves a performance review. What three to five things did we do that made it so amazing? Next, we can write them into next years performance review. We will have a list of six to ten goals we can work on in the next year. 3839 Scientists find a really good time to do this is Friday afternoon. Friday afternoon is what an economist might call a “low opportunity cost” time. Most of us are not sitting there on Friday afternoons saying, “I am excited to make progress toward my personal and professional priorities right now. ”But we are willing to think about what those should be. So take a little bit of time Friday afternoon, and make ourselves a three-category priority list:career, relationships, self.Its about looking at the whole of ones time and seeing where the good aspects can go. There is time. 40 And when we focus on what matters, we can build the lives we want in the time weve got.A. its that Im too busy for it. B. its that I dont want to do it.C. When do we plan our priorities?D. Make sure theres time for the important things.E. We dont build the lives we want by saving time.F. Even if we are busy, we have time for what matters.G. And then we need to break these down into doable steps.第三部分 语言知识运用（共两节，满分45分）第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。“How dare you!” My anger finally burst out when my son 41 to go to the piano classes for the third time that day.
