When my family moved to Ohio over the summer, I feared going to another new school and knowing no one because I was able to expect what was coming. I had bright red hair and huge glasses. Besides, I was 14 and not very popular.

The following day was even worse.

Why do people love pandas so much? Perhaps it is because they look very cute, or perhaps it is because there are not many left.
Pandas are actually called giant pandas. Many people also call them panda bears because they are mammals (哺乳类) classified from the bear family. Giant pandas originate in China. Pictures of both the dragon and the giant panda are often regarded as the symbols of China.
Giant pandas look different from other bears because they are white with black patches around their eyes, over their ears, and across their bodies. Although they look adorable and move slow, they can be as dangerous as any other bear when they are angry. Pandas mostly eat bamboo, but they may also eat other food like eggs, fish, oranges and bananas.
Many people think that giant pandas have few babies, and that is one of the reasons that there are not many of them left. But scientists say that a female panda may have about five or six cubs during her life. The female panda gives birth to one or two panda cubs, but she is only able to take care of only one of her cubs. As a result, one of her cubs dies soon after birth because of a lack of intense care.
The giant panda is an endangered species, and there are only about 2,000 giant pandas left in the world. People have been trying hard to protect giant pandas. It looks like their work is paying off because the number of giant pandas is increasing.
29. Why do some people call “pandas” panda bears?
A. Because they look like bears.
B. Because they like to live with bears.
C. Because they are often regarded as bears.
D. Because they are mammals classified from the bear family.
30. What do pandas like eating most?
A. Bamboo. B. Fish. C. Bananas. D. Oranges.
31. How many baby pandas can a female panda have in her life?
A. Three. B. Four or five. C. Five or six. D. More than seven.
32. What does the phrase “paying off ” mean in the last paragraph?
A. To result in success. B. To pay money on it.
C. To stop working. D. To make it work.

Dear Mr. King,
Your supermarket chain is excellent in many ways. I enjoy the things you sell, such as the selection of produce (农产品) and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time supermarket shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to your supermarket, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place.
To tell the truth, I have never been able to purchase nacho (烤干酪辣味玉米片) cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers (馄饨皮), while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.
I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive.
Yours truly,
Bob Watson
33. According to the passage, who often buy things in the supermarket?
A. Mr. King. B. Bob Watson.
C. Regent Brand. D. Mrs. Watson.
34. From the first paragraph, we know the supermarket chain ________.
A. meets all the writer’s needs B. is the best in every way
C. offers good customer service D. is far from the writer’s home
35. How does the writer present his point in Paragraph Two?
A. By giving examples.
B. By using some sharp words.
C. By providing scientific findings.
D. By comparing two different stores.

五、阅读短文回答问题。（共10分，每小题2分）

What do you write down? For most of us, writing consists of emails, task lists and perhaps the odd work project. However, making time to write down certain things, such as our daily experiences and feelings, can help us in our life.
The following are some different ways that writing things down can change your life.
It clears your mind for higher-level thinking.
David Allen, productivity speaker and author of Getting Things Done, recommends doing what he calls a “core dump”. This involves writing down every task, activity, and project you need to address. This could range from picking up milk on the way home, to a multi-person project at work. Writing down every ‘to-do’ item you can think of clearing space in your head for more important topics.
It helps you process your emotions.
Writing down what’s on your mind is a great way to work through inner conflict or process your feelings around a particular situation. It’s similar to talking a situation through with a friend, and it’s a useful way of strengthening your self-soothing (自我安慰) abilities.
It gives you a record of the past.
If you keep a diary and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings, you’ll soon have a record of your experiences that you might otherwise have forgotten. Keeping a diary can also enhance your levels of self-trust. When you can look back and see how successfully you’ve done in the past, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to do so in the future.
You gain a sense of achievement.
If you write down everything you need to do in a particular day or week, you gain an additional sense of satisfaction. When having completed the task, you can cross the item off our list. Feeling productive enhances your productivity and fosters a sense of achievement and progress.
41. Can writing down things help us in our daily life?
42. How many ways can writing down things help us change our life?
43. According to David Allen’s idea, what does a “core dump” mean?
44. What is the advantage of keeping a diary?
45. What is the passage mainly about?
六、文段表达。(共17分)
46. 根据中文和英文提示，写一封意思连贯、符合逻辑，不少于50词的文段。
