三、閱讀理解(共26分，每小題2分)閱讀下面短文，從短文后各題所給的A、B、C、D四個(gè)選項(xiàng)中，選出最佳選項(xiàng)。

It’s normal for parents to disagree and argue from time to time. Parents might disagree about money, housework or how to spend their time. They might even disagree about little things that don’t important at all—like what’s for dinner or what time someone gets home.
So, many times when parents disagree, they argue, an argument is a fight using words.
Most kids worry when their argue. Loud voices and angry words can make kids feel afraid, sad or upset. Even silent arguments, like parents not talking to each other at all can upset kids.
What does it mean when parents argue? First, just like kids, when parents get upset, they must cry, shot or say things they really don’t mean to. Sometimes an argument might not mean anything. Second, just like kids, parents might argue more if they are not feeling well, or if they have other worries.
If your parents argue more often, you can talk to someone, like relatives, a teacher or any adult you trust. They can help by telling family members to listen to each other and talk about their feelings without shouting. Though it takes some work, time and practice, people in families can always learn to get along better.
No family is perfect. Even in the happiest ones, things happen and people argue from time to time.
Being part of a family means everyone joins in and tries to make life better for each other. When an argument happens at home, like to your parents and use love and understanding to solve the problems that have come up. Families can solve almost any problem.

An old English saying goes, “Laughter is the best medicine.” One person who certainly would have agreed with this is Norman Cousins.
Norman Cousins was the editor of a magazine called “Saturday Review” for a;most forty years. He also wrote and spoke about world peace and anti-nuclear (反核的) and anti-war issues (問題). And he traveled to many different countries to share his ideas.
In the 1960s, after returning to the United States from a busy and tiring trip to Europe, Mr. Cousins got sick. He discovered he had a rare disease, known as ankylosing spondylitis, which caused the joint between his bones to stiff (僵硬的).
In less than a week after he got sick, he could not stand. Every move that he made was painful. He was not able to sleep at night. The doctors told Mr. Cousins that they did not know how to cure his illness and he might never get over (擺脫) it. Mr. Cousins, however, refused to stop hope.
Mr. Cousins thought that illness could be caused by unhappy thoughts. He did not want to take medicine to cure himself. Instead, he felt that happy thoughts or laughter might cure his illness.
He began to experiment on himself while still in that hospital by watching comedy (喜劇) shows on TV. Mr. Quickly found that ten minutes of real laughter during the day gave him two hours of pain-free (無痛苦的) sleep at night.
Deciding that the doctors could not help him, Mr. Cousins left the hospital and checked into (入住) a hotel room where he could continue his experiments with laughter. For eight days, Mr. Cousins rested in the hotel room watching comedy show on TV, reading amusing books, and sleeping whenever he felt tired. Within three weeks, he felt well enough to take a holiday to Puerto Rico where he began running on the beach for exercise.
After a few months, Mr. Cousins was able to carry on his work. He had laughed himself back to good health.

Idioms (習(xí)語) are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don't understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what's for dinner tomorrow, she may say“I'll play it by ear”, that means she doesn't have plans for dinner and she will decide later.“Play by ear”used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they're not talking about music.
There are many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, “Give me a hand”, you don't necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It's not about the color of your hand! You're a green hand when you are very new at your work and don't have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well.
Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body?
( ) 39. An idiom is _______.
A.a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words say
B.a phrase or a sentence that doesn't mean exactly what every word says
C.so difficult that nobody can understand
D.something to do with parts of your body
( ) 40. If a mother says“I'll play it by ear”to talk about the dinner, she means _______.
A.she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same time
B.she doesn't hear what others are talking about.
C.she will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinner
D.She doesn't have plans for dinner and will decide later
( ) 41. When one says“Can you give me a hand?”, he means _______.
A.he needs to hold your hand. B. he works well with you
C.he needs your help D. he is a new comer and can't help with the situation
( ) 42. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A.People use English idioms more in spoken English than in written English.
B.To understand the culture behind an idiom is important in understanding the idiom.
C.Idioms make your English more vivid and colorful so they are easy to remember.
D.You may not understand an idiom even though you know the meaning of each word.
( ) 43. Here are 4 common English idioms to do with parts of your body and their meanings. Can you match (匹配) them?
1)to learn something by heart a. to depend on oneself
2)to have sticky fingers b. to know something very well
3)to stand on one's own feet c. to do something secretly
4)to go behind someone's back d. to have the habit of stealing
A. badc B. bdac C. cbad D. cdba
四、閱讀表達(dá)(共5分，每小題1分)閱讀下面短文，并根據(jù)所讀短文內(nèi)容在文章后的空格里填入一個(gè)最恰當(dāng)?shù)膯卧~。
In Britain, people have a strange hobby. Whenever there is a Bank Holiday weekend, a certain (某個(gè)) kind of shop always gets very busy, and it’s not what you might think—clothes shops or music shops. The British people go to DIY stores and garden centers. Large numbers of people spend their days doing home improvement (改善) instead of relaxing.
Ding DIY is very popular in Britain, and there are lots of DIY programmes which show people how to improve their homes.
Some people just do some simple decorating—putting up wall-paper and painting walls. There are all kinds of DIY projects that some people decide to do, like laying a new carpet (地毯), tiling (貼瓷磚) walls or putting in a new shower.
Unluckily, some people start doing a job which ends in DIY disaster. For example, electrical things should be done by a special worker, but many people don’t care about this warning and putting themselves in danger.
Gardening is also popular, and a good way to enjoy the weather on a sunny Bank Holiday. But it’s not as simple as planting plants and doing some watering. More difficult work such as building a new garden or some decorations can cause backache.
So why do people do it? Who knows? Maybe they are so used to working that they are not very good at relaxing. One thing is for sure, though a lot of DIY or gardening projects will be started with the best plans, many of them may not get finished.
