Teaching my first child, Danae, to share her toys was the biggest challenge. To 1 this, we started inviting other children to play, which could help Danae discover that it’s fun to share with others — a lesson I needed to 2 myself as well, as it 3 .

One evening Danae had 4 a friend, Natalie, to play with her. Their favo rite was a children’s card game called Go Fish. That evening, after Natalie left, Danae came to me and said, ―Mommy, I’d like to give these to Natalie tomorrow. They’re her favorites.‖

She held up three cards from the Go Fish game. I tried to 5 that I didn’t want her to give them away because then our wouldn’t be complete. ―But I really want her to have them!‖ Danae7 . I thought perhaps she understand that when she gave something away, it was gone 8 . So I tried again, say ing, ―Once you give the cards to her, you can’t 9 them back tomorrow.‖

A look of 10 came over Danae’s face. For a moment I was happy that she seemed to 11 . But then she smiled and said. ―Well, that’s okay; I want her to have them anyway.‖

What could I say to that? I sat 12 for a moment and then I realized I had been trying for so long to ask her to share. Did it 13 that our Go Fish set would be 14 ?

Ground area of Hyde Park during a storm. Earlier, Joseph Wharton, 14, died as he was struck by lightning while camping in his friend’s backyard in the West Midlands.

The strike lifted the girls into the air and then dropped them to the ground, a witness reported.

A spokesman for the London Ambulance Service said paramedics risked their lives to treat the girls. ―The storm was still overhead and lightning was still coming down w hile they were treating the patients,‖ he said. ―All staff involved acted very professionally in providing fast treatment to these patients in very difficult circumstances.‖ Scotland Y ard said the incident was being looked into by officers from the Royal P arks’ Operational Command Unit.

The number of speakers of English in Shakespeare’s time is estimated(估计) to have been about five million. Today it is estimated that some 260 million people speak it as a native language, mainly in the United States, Canada, Great Britain, Ireland, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. In addition to the standard varieties of English found in these areas, there are a great many regional and social varieties of the language as well as various levels of usage that are employed both in its spoken and written forms.

In fact, it is impossible to estimate the number of people in the world who have acquired an adequate(足够的) working knowledge of English in addition to their own languages. The purpose for English learning and the situations in which such learning takes place are so varied that it is difficult to explain and still more difficult to judge what forms an adequate working knowledge for each situation. [来源:Z https://www.doczj.com/doc/973687940.html,] The main reason for the widespread demand for English is its present-day importance as a world language. Besides serving the indefinite needs of its native speakers, English is a language in whic h some of important works in science, technology, and other fields are being produced, and not always by native speakers. It is widely used for such purposes as meteorological and airport communications, international conferences, and the spread of information over the radio and television networks of many nations. It is a language of wider communication for a number of developing countries, especially former British colonies. Many of these countries have multilingual populations and need a language for internal communication in such matters as government, commerce, ind ustry, law and education as well as for international communication and for entrance to the scientific and technological developments in the West.

31. What would be the best title for this passage?

A. The Difficulties of Learning English

B. International Communications

C. The Standard V arieties of English

D. English as a World Language

32. Which of the following statements is NOT true?

D. People learn English for a variety of reasons.

33. According to the passage, what is the main reason for the widespread use of English?

A. It was popular during Shakespeare’s time.

B. It is used in former British colonies. [来源:状_元_源Z_y_y_100]

Have you ever heard the story of the four-minute mile? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in1954.

What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who does not know how to swim, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learned swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal does not.

Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on hour keyboard? Y ou might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam if the operator typed too fast.

These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Y our beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers a direct command to your nervous system.

I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are.

Students of a school in India, said sna kes were slippery, slimy (黏糊糊的) and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.

Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change.

If you have ever been rock climbing, then you will know that it is not a very easy sport. In fact you probably felt quite defeated when you first tried to do any serious climbing. Indoor and outdoor rock climbing are both extremely demanding and, like anything else, require practice, to get good at. What most people don’t know is that the sport of rock climbing is one of the most physically and mentally demanding sports there is.

There are three basic types of rock climbing. Top roping is probably one of the most common types and is basically climbing with a partner. The second type, which is very similar to top roping, is called lead climbing. In both of these types of rock climbing the climber can sit off the wall and rest on the rope.

The third type of rock climbing is called bouldering. Bouldering is a type of free climbing without any ropes. This is the most demanding of all climbing types. The climber must be able to complete the climbing without taking a rest on the rope.

Believe it or not, climbing is said to be about 75% legs and only 25% arms. To climb efficiently and successfully, a person needs to have a wonderful technique. One of the major rules of rock climbing is to always have three points touching the w all, whether it is both feet and one hand, or one foot and both hands, as it is much easier to have your weight rest on three points than on two. Another important idea to grasp is that your arms in most cases will do the climbing; they only hold you into the wall so that your legs are actually pushing you upward. Also, the closer you are to the wall, the easier it is to climb.

Rock climbing may sound a bit too extreme for the everyday person but it really is an amazing workout. Once you get into the sport, and learn how to position your body and rest your weight, then you can begin to deal with some difficult problems. The great thing about rock climbing is that it is mentally challenging as well. Y ou are constantly analyzing the way your body moves and how to do certain moves on the wall. For anyone who wants to get into shape, rock climbing is a fun and effective way to exercise muscles.

41.What does the author think of rock climbing?

A.It is an easy sport. B.It is challenging.

C.It is quite dangerous. D.It is extremely difficult.

42.According to this passage, we know that __________.[来源:状元源]

A.indoor rock climbing is much easier than outdoor rock climbing

B.while rock climbing, people depend mainly on their arms

C.ordinary people can practise rock climbing

D.during climbing, the climber can always stop for a rest

43.It is much easier for a rock climber if he ___________ while climbing.

A.takes a rope B.has a partner[来源:状元源]

C.has three points touching the wall D.uses feet more often

44.___________ will make rock climb easier.

A.Keeping the body closer to the wall B.Resting more often on the arms

C.Resting more often on the feet D.Pushing forward without thinking of the problems

45.By rock climbing, one can _____________.

A.get more weight and stronger muscles B.get both physical and mental exercises

We spend hours, days and years of our lives in education. But how perfect do you think your school is? Imagine you could decide your ideal school. What would it be like? What would you be doing? We wanted to find out what teenagers around the world thought. Here is what they said.[来源:状元源zyy100K]

Sonia from Italy: I’d like a room where we can go and relax and play computer games and chat with friends.

Some older pupils in the school have this but I think there should be a place for everyone to go when they want to

switch off from the lessons.

Richard form USA: I think it would be great to have a day off every week, as well as the weekend. If that day was a Friday or a Monday, we would have a long weekend every week. I’m sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours.

David from UK: The school dinners are absolutely disgusting. There is a little shop called a ―tuck shop‖ which we can go to in our breaks but it just sells rubbish. I’d like to be able to buy fruit and healthy snacks.

Hannah from Australia: My school environment is great – especially the sports facilities. We’ve got a swimming pool and tennis courts. It’s teachers I’d change. I think they should give us more freedom and choice about how we study and what we s tudy. I also think it’s ridiculous that we have to wear a school uniform.

I par ticipated in a fantastic English talent show in People’s Park on January 25, 2010. Middle school students from all over Guangzhou performed all kinds of programs, like English songs, English short plays and English stories. The purpose of this show is to encourage students to introduce Guangzhou and the 2010 Asian Games in English and to arouse students’ interest in English as well.

I was very excited because I was the leading actor/actress in an English short play at the show. Though I was

a little bit nervous at the beginning, later on I felt relaxed and the performance was a great success.

读写任务

The passage presents what the five students from different countries think about their own schools and describe what their dream school should be like. Their ideas vary.

My school has a beautiful large campus with a variety of advanced teaching facilities. What makes me feel very proud is that the teachers here are friendly and knowledgeable. Whenever I am puzzled by the problems, whether in study or in life, I can turn to them for help. However, on the other hand, there exists something that disturbs me a lot. Too much everyday homework and frequent tests always keep me too busy to have a good rest and develop my interests.

If I could make a school, in my mind, the school should provided more hands-on, personalized, engaging subjects or activities that preserve students’ curiosity and joy of learning. The teachers would focus on teaching the students how to learn, not what to learn, creating lifelong learners, explorers and discovers. In addition, I think it would be great to have a day off every week, as well as the weekend. I am sure we could learn just as much in fewer hours if we improved our learning efficiency.
