invisible wound that continues to cause incredible suffering long after the guns have fallen silent.“A lot of us come home without realizing we are bringing the war home with us,said Josh Marino,a veteran(退伍兵)of the Iraq war who suffered the effects of PTSD of suicide.“i didnt want to deal with it anymore,”Marino said.He wrote a goodbye note,grabbed a knife and went outside for a final cigarette in the rain.But then,from the deepest depth of despair came hope.Meowing out of the bushes next to him came a stray black and white kitten(小猫)which，according to Marino,“just walked up and started rubbing up against my leg and let me pet him.I came to life again and I broke down crying.I burst into tears.”From this accidental encounter everything changed.Marino found a new purpose in life through the friendly cat,who he named Scout,and who he credits with saving his life.I stopped thinking about all my problems,and started thinking about all his problems,and what I could do to help him,Marino said.The bond between them was instant，but that wasnt the end of the story Marino has made a video of his and Scouts remarkable story of healing and heartbreak which you can watch on the Internet.The story is dedicated to showing how animals can help humans through tough times,as well as humans can help them.It is a beautiful story that is sure to tug at your heart strings,showing just how powerful the bond between humans and animals can be.We love it,and we hope you do too!1、What can we get from the first two paragraphs?ATaking part in the Iraq war had bad effects on Josh Marino.BJosh Marino wounded badly during the Iraq war.CPTSD is a kind of disease which cannot be cured now.DPTSD usually happens after the soldiers drop their guns.2、Why did Josh Marino suddenly burst into tears according to the passage?AHe just couldnt help crying.BThe little cat gave him hope to treasure life.CThe wild little cat attacked him so badly.DHe suddenly realized that the cat came to help him on purpose.3、What is the best title for the passage?APTSD-a disease cured by a soldier.BThe man and the cat.CA rescue between a soldier and a cat.DHow can a cat be used to stop suicide.22（8 分）The note taped to the host stand at the Prime Rib says it all.“We fought the battle the longest,but we give in!”it reads.“Its now a completely informal world;they wear whatever they wish.They want a warm,easy,friendly atmosphere,even in“fine dining.So we decided to go with the flow.”Yes,after almost half a century,The Prime Rib has switched to business casual.It is among most of todays finest dining establishments-including Charleston,The Black Olive,and The Capital Grille-that have decided to lighten up.They have given up caring too much about what their guests are dressed in as before,adopting a come-as-you-are attitude.At these restaurants,youre likely to see casual clothes such as khakis(trousers made of khaki cloth)and Hawaiian shirts.“Were a business first,”says David Derewicz,general manager of the impressive dining establishment.“And we were losing business with our jacket requirements.”He kept a list of over 20 people who told him,“If you drop the jacket policy,well come back.”Once the dress code shift was seriously being considered,Derewicz made dozens of phone calls to long-time guests.Most said they didnt mind the change as long as the restaurant itself with its white table cloths,dark leather chairs,grand piano,and tuxedoed waitstaff-stayed the same.“Since the change was introduced last summer,weve not lost a guest,”says Derewicz.On a secret night at The Prime Rib,the scene was pretty much the same as its ever been lots of men in jackets and ties,some in shirts and slacks,but now the occasional khakis and polo shirts thrown in.It turns out that people are pretty capable of policing themselves,even without a formal dress code.While some traditionalists may argue that The Prime Rib9s reputation has been damaged a bit,Derewicz feels that the restaurant has moved ahead and finally strengthened their band.1、The Prime Ribs note mainly tells people about .Aits long history Bits pleasant atmosphere Cits change in dress code Dits battle with other restaurants 2、The underlined words“lighten up”in paragraph 4 probably mean“”.Afollow a long tradition Btake a matter less seriously Cmake something continue as before Dhelp each other to achieve something 3、According to Derewicz,following the formal dress code means .Afurther development Ba better reputation Clow efficiency Dfailing profits 4、What do we know about The Prime Rib now?AIt is praised by some traditionalists.BThe police come to protect its guests.CMost of its guests still wear formal clothes.DMost people go there in khakis and polo shirts.23（8 分）Imagine a cat that does not need someone to clean up after it keeps an older person company and help them remember to take their medicine.That is the shared dream of the toy maker Hasbro and scientists at Brown University in Providence,Rhode Island.The researchers received a$3-nillion-dollar award from the National Science Foundation for a special project.They want to find ways to add artificial intelligence,or AI.,to Hasbros“Joy for All”robotic cat.The cat has already been for sale for two years.Though priced over 1000 dollars,it sold quite well.It was meant to act as a“companion”for older people.Now the project is aimed at developing additional abilities for the cat.Researchers at Browns Humanity-Centered Robotics Initiative are working to decide which activities older adults may need the most.They hope to make the cat perform a small number of activities very well.Such activities include finding lost objects and reminding the person to take medicine or visit their doctor.They also want to keep the cost down to just a few hundred dollars.It is an idea that has appealed to Jeanne Elliot.Her 93-year-old mother Mary Derr lives with her in South Kingstown.Derr has dementia（痴呆）.The boy for All cat that Elliot bought this year has become a true companion for Derr.The cat stays with Derr and keeps her calm while Eliot is at work.Elliot said a robotic cat that helps her mother to remember to take her medicine and be careful when he walks would be greater.The researchers are trying to learn how the improved cats will complete helpful activities and how they will communicate.They say that they do not want a talking cat,however.Instead they are trying to design a cat that can move its head in a special way to successfully communicate its message.In the end,they hope to create an exchange between the human and the cat in which the human feels the cat needs them.By doing so,the researchers hope they can even help prevent feelings of loneliness and sadness among elderly people.1、Whats the purpose of the project?ATo relieve the pain of the elderly.BTo promote the sales of a medicine.CTo help make the robotic cat smarter.DTo invent a robotic cat for the elderly.2、Compared with the old model,the new robotic cat will be _.Acheaper Bsmaller Cmore talkative Dmore expensive 3、What does Paragraph 3 intend to tell us?AThe more functions of the cat,the better.BThe cat gives much help to the elderly.C There is no cure for dementia at present.D Mary Derr would have died without the cat.4、What can we infer from the last paragraph?AThe feeling of being needed is vital to the elderly.BEach family can afford such a cat in the future.CA talking cat is quite popular among the elderly.DFeelings of sadness among the elderly are unavoidable.24（8 分）Wearing a red nose for a day may seem like a strange way to raise money for charity.However,it seems to work in Britain.Red Nose Day(RND)is a well-known event in the UK.The aim of the day is to raise money for a charity called Comic Relief which helps people in need in Africa and in the UK.Comic Relief was started in 1985 by Richard Curtis.He wrote the series“Blackadder”as well as the famous films“Four Weddings and a Funeral”and“Notting Hill.Richards idea to start Comic Relief was as a response to the severe lack of food in Ethiopia.Its called Red Nose Day as on this day many people buy a plastic red nose to wear!The money made from selling red noses goes to the charity.Red Nose Day takes place every two years in the spring and is now so well developed that many people consider it to be an unofficial national holiday.For example,many schools have non-uniform days.The slogan for the last RND was“Do Something Funny for Money”and the money collected was used to help fund projects in the following areas:treating malaria,education,maternal health and mental health.The BBC Red Nose Day telethon raised 74.3 million!Money-raising events take place all over the country and many schools join in.People also donate money by post,in banks,by phone using a credit card and online.Getting sponsored to do something is a common way to raise money on RND If someone sponsors you it means that they agree to give you a certain amount of money for your actions.Here are some ways that people raise money:wear their pyjamas(睡衣)all day at work or in school,or grow a moustache or beard for a month.So,if you are ever in the UK on Red Nose Day,now you know why you may find normal people wearing red noses and doing silly things!It is all for a good cause!1、The purpose of Comic Relief is .Ato celebrate Red Nose Day Bto help those in need in Africa and Britain Cto warn people against some diseases Dto raise money for Mr.Curtiss films 2、Red Nose Day got its name mainly from its .Acreator Bbirthplace Caid receivers Dproducts for sale 3、Which of the following is TRUE about Red Nose Day?AIt is celebrated in the spring every other year.BPeople celebrate this day to bring happiness to others.CRichard Curtis,the famous writer,started Red Nose Day.DSome people raise money by growing a beard for a week.4、Paragraph 4 is mainly to show that in Britain RND .Ais considered an official holiday Blasts for a long time Cis popular with people Dis well designed for TV 25（10 分）As providers and caretakers（监护人）,adults tend to view the children as happy and free.After all,kids dont have jobs to keep or bills to pay,so what do they possibly have to worry about?Plenty!Even very young children have worries and feel stressful to some degree.Stress is a function of the demands placed on us.These demands often come from outside sources,such as families,jobs,friends,or schools.But they can also come from our feelings,for example,what we think we should be doing versus what were actually able to do.Stress can affect anyone who feels at a loss,even kids.For kids in the kindergarten,separation from parents can cause anxiety.As kids get older,academic and social pressures also create stress,especially those who want to fit in their school are probably to get more stress.Many kids are too busy to have time to play creatively or relax after school.Kids who complain about all their activities or who refuse to take part in them might be too tired and full of stress.Talk with kids about how they feel about the activities related to their courses.If they complain,you should consider stopping one activity for a period of time,or you can explore,ways to help them manage their time and lessen their anxiety.Another source of stress is world news.Kids who see scary images on TV or hear someone talk of natural disasters or ways may worry about their own safety and the people they love.Talk to them about what they see and hear on TV to help them understand whats going on.Whats more,be aware of some negative factors,such as an illness,or death of a loved one.When these are added to the everyday pressure kids face,the stress may appear.Separated or divorced parents should neve
