At times my mom has been uncomfortable seeing these qualities in me. For example，when I was 12，I went to Puerto Rico all by myself to stay with my grandmother for the summer. My mom was extremely nervous about it. She kept telling me how things were different in Puerto Rico，to always put on sunscreen，not to wander away from my grandmother，and other warnings. She helped me pack and did not leave the airport until she saw my plane take off.
But despite her worries，she let me go on my own. As I moved into my teens，she continued to give me space to grow and learn，even when it might have been difficult for her. When I reached my senior year，I decided to move away for college. Once again I found that I differed from my peers:While many of them wanted to stay close to home，I couldn’t wait to be out in the world on my own. While my mom may not have been happy at the thought of my going away，she was supportive and excited for me.
One big thing I realized during my senior year，as my mom granted me more freedom，was that she actually believes in me and trusts me. That means a lot. Most of my life，and especially when I was little，the main person I tried to impress in my schoolwork or other things was my mother. I knew she expected nothing but the best from me. Sometimes it was hard to live up to her standards: getting a single B on my report card would make me feel bad because I knew she wanted me to have all A’s.
I know that her high standards have helped me stay focused on what’s important，like education，and made me who I am. I am thankful for her support and involvement in my life .Most of all I respect her. She is the strongest woman I know and that’s why I have turned out so strong and independent.

It’s a popular belief that a fish’s memory lasts for only seven seconds. It may seem sad to think that they don’t remember what they’ve eaten or where they’ve been， and they don’t recognize you or any of their friends —every moment in their life would be like seeing the world for the first time.
But don’t be so quick to feel sorry for them. A new study has found that fish have a much better memory than we used to think. In fact， certain species of fish can even remember events from as long as 12 days ago.
In the study， researchers from MacEwan University in Canada trained a kind of fish called African cichlids to go to a certain area of their tank to get food. They then waited for 12 days before putting them back in the tank again. Researchers used computer software to monitor the fish’s movements. They found that after such a long break the fish still went to the same place where they first got food. This suggested that they could remember their past experiences.In fact， scientists had been thinking for a long time that African cichlids might have a good memory. An earlier study showed that they behaved aggressively（挑衅地） in front of certain fish， perhaps because they remembered their past “fights”. But until the latest findings， there was no clear evidence.
Just as a good memory can make our lives easier， it also plays an important part when a fish is trying to survive in the wild.“If fish are able to remember that a certain area contains safe food， they will be able to go back to that area without putting their lives at risks，” lead researcher Trevor Hamilton told Live Science.For a long time， fish were placed far below chimpanzees， dolphins and mice on the list of smart animals. But this study has given scientists a new understanding of their intelligence.
28.What is the article mainly about?
A.Fish having very bad memories.
B.Fish being smarter than we thought.
C.How fish improve their memory.
D.What we can learn from fish.
29.According to the article， people used to believe that _____.
A.fish could only remember part of their past experiences
B.fish could remember things that happened 12 days ago
C. a fish’s memory lasted for only seven minutes
D.fish didn’t recognize any of their friends
30.How can fish benefit most from a good memory? They can remember _____.
A.where to get food and survive
B.their enemies and fight
C.where to escape to when in danger
D.their friends and help each other
31.Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A.Fish behave aggressively in a fight.
B.Fish can remember more.
C.Fish don’t belong to the list of smart animals.
D.Only African cichlids have a good memory.
D.
Businesses are witnessing a difficult time， which has in turn produced influence on consumers’ desire to go green. However， shoppers are still laying stress on environmental concerns.
Two thirds of customers say that environmental considerations inform their purchases to the same degree as they did a year ago， while more than a quarter say that they are now even better aware of the environmental effect on what they buy.
This may help to influence how shops store goods on their shelves. And the companies should still make efforts to become more environmentally friendly. Two out of three people think it is important to buy from environmentally responsible companies， with about one in seven saying that they had even decided to take their custom elsewhere if they felt a company’s environmental reputation was not good enough.
Harry Morrison， chief executive（主管） of the Carbon Trust， sympathizes: “I understand this situation where survival is very important now. But from environmental considerations， the clock is ticking—we don’t have much time. In addition， cutting carbon has an immediate effect as costs drop and a medium term benefit for the brand.”
Larger companies have an extra motivation to look at reducing their carbon footprint， as new rules next year will require businesses to buy carbon allowances to make up for their emissions（排放）. Those that have taken early action will have a head start. More than two thirds of consumers are not clear about which companies are environmentally responsible. This suggests that firms that are able to relay clearly their message to the public will be in a pole position to attract shoppers.
The Carbon Trust believes that it can help by informing customers about the good work companies are doing. “When companies are granted（授予） the standard， they can use a logo in all their marketing which makes it clear that they are working towards cutting emissions，” Mr. Morrison said.
32.What’s the main idea of the passage?
A. Businesses are finding ways to send their message to the shoppers.
B. Companies will soon get information about cutting carbon emissions.
C. Firms are making efforts to encourage customers to keep goods at home.
D. Firms are urged to cut carbon emissions by shoppers’ environmental awareness.
33.The underlined word “inform” in Paragraph 2 probably means “ ”.
A.affect B.change C.disturb D.reject
34.According to Harry Morrison， businesses .
A.will benefit from cutting carbon emissions
B.should buy carbon allowances for shoppers
C.are required to make up for their carbon emissions
D.have encouraged shoppers to take their custom elsewhere
35.We can learn from the passage that businesses will .
A.have a strong desire to reduce costs
B.use the same logo in their marketing
C.gain advantages by taking early action
D.attract more shoppers by storing goods

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填人空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
The Internet has opened up a whole new online world for us to meet， chat and go where we’ve never been before.
But just as in face to face communication， there are some rules of behavior that should be followed when on line.36Imagine how you’d feel if you were in the other person’s shoes.
For anything you’re about to send: ask yourself， “Would I say this to the person’s face?” if the answer is no， rewrite and reread.37
If someone in the chat room is rude to you， your instinct （本能） is to fire back in the same manner. But try not to do so.38If it was caused by a disagreement with another member， try to fix the situation by politely discussing it. Remember to respect the beliefs and opinions of others in the chat room.
39Offer advice when asked by newcomers， as they may not be sure what to do or how to communicate. When someone makes a mistake， whether it’s a stupid question or an unnecessarily long answer， be kind about it. If it’s a small mistake， you may not need to say anything. Even if you feel strongly about it， think twice before saying anything. Having good manners yourself doesn’t give you license to correct everyone else.40At the same time， if you find you are wrong， be sure to correct yourself and apologize to those that you have offended.
It is not polite to ask others personal questions such as their age， sex and marital status. Unless you know the person very well， and you are both comfortable with sharing personal information， don’t ask such questions.
A.Everyone was new to the network once.
B.If you do decide to tell someone about a mistake， point it out politely.
C.It’s natural that there some people who speak rudely or make mistakes online.
D.The basic rule is simple: treat others in the same way you would want to be treated.
E.You should either ignore the person， or use your chat software to block their messages.
F.When you send short messages to a person online， you must say something beautiful
to hear.
G.Repeat the process till you feel sure that you’d feel comfortable saying the words to the
person’s face.

书面表达:
High school is always considered as the most cherished period of one’s life. As a Senior 3 student， it won’t be long before I graduate. Considering what the past three years has taught me， I have much to share with my fellow students.
As I look back on my experience in the past three years， time rewinds. Firstly， I would like to show my appreciation of help from those standing by me all the way， teachers， parents and friends included. Without their help and advice， my life would be different. Secondly， it's high time to say sorry to classmates whom I hurt or misunderstood. Communication and smiles act as bridges to friendship. Above all， I've made up my mind to make every effort to study， for I believe hard work is the key to success. Just as the old saying goes， "No pains， no gains."
Finally I hope that all the younger fellows can make full use of time， because time and tide wait for no men.
