3.(8分)Numbers are used everywhere.In Chinese culture,some numbers are believed to be lucky or unlucky based on the Chinese characters that the numbers sound similar to.
For example,the word for the number 8 sounds similar to the word for "making a fortune".So,people consider it a very lucky number.Some people will even spend a lot of money having 8s in their phone numbers or vehicle license plate(车牌照)numbers.The opening ceremony of the Beijing Olympics began at 8:08 p.m.on August 8,2008.
The number 9 is also a lucky number because of its connection to the emperors of China.There were nine dragons on emperors' robes (龙袍) and Chinese myth held that the dragon had nine children.The number9 also stands for "long﹣lasting".That's why a man always proposes to a woman with 99 or 999 roses.
So what's a "bad luck" number in China?It might be 4.Many Chinese people see 4 as a bad luck number because it sounds similar to the character for "death".
Because of this,many buildings skip the fourth floor and simply call it the fifth floor.In Hong Kong,some buildings even skip all floors numbered with 4.

In ancient times,there was a king who wanted a special kind of horse.This horse could run 1,000 li a day.It was called qianlima.He sent many people to find these horses and buy them for him.After three years,nobody found him such a horse.
One day,someone new volunteered to help.Within three months,he heard about a qianlima.He rushed to find it,but the horse was already dead.Still,he bought the bones of the horse with 500 pieces of gold.
The king was very angry. "What I want is a live horse,not the bones of a dead horse!"
The man answered calmly, "Imagine this.You're willing to pay a high price for a dead horse,let alone a live one.This shows people that you truly wish to buy the horses.Just wait and the horses you want will come very soon."
Indeed,within a year,many qianlima owners brought their horses to the king.
Guo told the king that he could see himself as the bones of the horse. "If I am valued,more talent will be willing to serve the state," he said.The king built houses for Guo and treated him as a teacher.Soon,talented people across the state came to help the king.His state finally beat the State Qi.

5.(8分)①Are you emotional?Do you often have strong feelings?How do you deal with bad emotions?
②We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve,about the things we cannot have,and many other things.It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions.But neither guilt nor anger can help us.Over time, .
③These bad emotions don't do anything good for us at all.So you might ask yourself—is it possible to put down this heavy burden and give yourself a break?It is quite possible.Start by actually looking at your feelings.How do they get inside of us?Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down?Can we live without them?
④By thinking about our bad emotions,we can find healthy ways to deal with them.Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this.They provide no relief.Instead,there are better ways to handle them.One of the best ways is forgiveness.
⑤Forgiveness is a powerful tool.We should forgive ourselves first.We shouldn't keep bad emotions inside.We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry.This is not always easy.But when we learn to forgive ourselves,it becomes easier to forgive others as well.
⑥There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens.By forgiving ourselves and others,we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves.The moment you do this,you will start to feel a lot lighter.Years of heaviness will be magically lifted!You'll start to feel like you have more energy and you'll be much happier with your life.

5.(8分)①Are you emotional?Do you often have strong feelings?How do you deal with bad emotions?
②We feel angry or guilty about the things we did or did not achieve,about the things we cannot have,and many other things.It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions.But neither guilt nor anger can help us.Over time, B .
③These bad emotions don't do anything good for us at all.So you might ask yourself—is it possible to put down this heavy burden and give yourself a break?It is quite possible.Start by actually looking at your feelings.How do they get inside of us?Why do we carry them for so long instead of putting them down?Can we live without them?
④By thinking about our bad emotions,we can find healthy ways to deal with them.Unhealthy behaviors are not the way to do this.They provide no relief.Instead,there are better ways to handle them.One of the best ways is forgiveness.
⑤Forgiveness is a powerful tool.We should forgive ourselves first.We shouldn't keep bad emotions inside.We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry.This is not always easy.But when we learn to forgive ourselves,it becomes easier to forgive others as well.
⑥There is nothing good about carrying years of emotional burdens.By forgiving ourselves and others,we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves.The moment you do this,you will start to feel a lot lighter.Years of heaviness will be magically lifted!You'll start to feel like you have more energy and you'll be much happier with your life.

【分析】本文主要介绍了坏情绪带给我们的坏处,并引导我们思考如何去应对坏情绪,最后介绍了应对坏情绪的方法。
【解答】(1)推理判断题。根据前文It seems that everyone carries their own bad emotions.But neither guilt nor anger can help us.(好像每个人都带着自己不好的情绪。但是内疚和愤怒都帮不了我们。)可知,似乎每个人都有自己的坏情绪,但无论是内疚还是愤怒都帮不了我们,这些坏情绪会带给我们负担,B项"他们可能是我们肩上的重担",符合语境,故选B。
(2)细节理解题。根据第四段One of the best ways is forgiveness.(最好的方法之一是宽恕。)和第五段We should forgive ourselves first.We shouldn't keep bad emotions inside.We must also forgive others who have made us guilty or angry.(我们应该先原谅自己。我们不应该把不好的情绪藏在心里。我们也必须原谅那些让我们感到内疚或愤怒的人。)可知,原谅自己和别人是应对坏情绪的一个方法,故选C。
(3)词义猜测题。根据第六段By forgiving ourselves and others,we can abandon our burdens and feel better about ourselves.(通过原谅自己和他人,我们可以______负担,对自己感觉更好。)可推知,通过原谅自己和别人,我们就可以放下负担,让我们感觉更好,所以"abandon"的意思是舍弃、放弃,故选D。
(4)篇章结构题。根据第一段Are you emotional?Do you often have strong feelings?How do you deal with bad emotions?(你情绪激动吗?你经常有强烈的感觉吗?你如何处理不好的情绪?)文章第一段是引出话题,询问你是否有坏情绪,如何应对,第二、三段是分析坏情绪带来的坏处,是否可以去除他们,第四至六段介绍了应对坏情绪的方法,故选B。
