The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are among them. They are in Yancheng, Jiangsu Province. They are home for many different kinds of birds and animals. Th e world’s largest Milu Deer Nature Reserve is in them. More than 700 Milu deer live freely there. There are not manyred-Crowned cranes （丹顶鹤）in the world, but every winter you can see some in the red-Crowned Nature Reserve in the Yellow Sea Wetlands.The temperature in the wetlands is usually neither too high nor too low. There is a lot of rain and sunshine, too. They are really good places for wildlife. Offering food and home for some special kinds of animals and birds is not the only reason why we need to protect wetlands. Wetlands are important because they also prevent flood. But some people want to change the wetlands to make more space for farms and buildings. This means there will be less and less space for wildlife.Luckily, more and more people are beginning to realize the importance of wetlands and wildlife. Every year, on February 2nd, many activities are held to tell people more about wetlands.Judge the following sentences true(T) or false(F) according to the passage.( ) 51. The Chinese Yellow Sea Wetlands are in the west of China.( ) 52. Usually the weather in the wetlands is pleasant.( ) 53. February 2nd is the world’s wetlands Day.( )54 We must protect wetlands only because they can offer food to the animals and birds.( ) 55. Wetlands are valuable resources of land on the earth.( B)It was a sunny day, but the climate was enjoyable. Everyone in the railway station was waiting for the train to arrive. It was a station with juice shops, mobile restaurants, coffee and tea stalls and newspaper shops.A group of friends made loud noise to welcome the train as it entered the station. They ran to get their seats before anyone could get into the train. An old man with a young boy aged around 15 years came running to catch the train. They entered the train and the train started to move. They had their seats just next to the friends’ group.The young boy was so surprised to see everything. As the train started moving fast, the young boy screamed,“ Dad, the trees are gree n in color and run backward very fast. ” His father said “Yes dear” and smiled. Just like a kid,he was watching everything in surprise. A fruit seller passed selling apples and oranges. The young boy asked his dad, “I want to eat apples." His father bough t him apples. He said, “Oh, this apple looks sweeter than it tastes. I love this____.”The group was watching all the activities of this boy and asked the boy's father ,“Is your son having any problem? Why is he behaving very differently?” A friend from th e group made fun of him and shouted, “His son is mad, I think. ” The father of the young boy, with patience, replied to the friend-group. “My son was born blind. Only a few days before, he was operated and got the vision. He is seeing various things in his life for the first time. ”The young friends became very quiet and apologized to the father and son.( )56. The railway station was_______ .A. in the countrysideB. in a big cityC. a busy stationD. a quiet station( )57. According to the second paragraph, which of the following is TRUE?A.

Which can be properly put in the blank in Para. 3?A. color.B. taste.C. train.D. apple.( )60. What could the group of friends learn from the story?A. One is never too old to learn.B. Everything comes to him who waits.C. Think before you speak.D. You have to believe in yourself.( C )How quickly can you count from one to ten? Do you use ten different words to do it? Can you do it in English, or do you have to use your first languages? Do you count on your fingers?Many people think that numbers and math are the same all over the world. But scientists have discovered that it is not true.People in different parts of the world use different ways to count on their fingers. In the United States, people think begin counting with their first fingers, which they extend or stick out. They then extend the rest of their fingers and finally the thumb(拇指）to count to five. Then they repeat this with the other hand to get to ten. In China, people count by using different finger positions. In this way, a Chinese person can easily count to ten on only one hand.Besides ways of finger counting, scientists have found that cultures and languages are also different when it comes to numbers. Some languages have only a few words for numbers, and others have no words for numbers. A group of scientists studied aboriginal(土著的）people in Australia. These people don’t have hand movements to stand for numbers. They don’t even have word for numbers. However, they are still able to understand different ideas about numbers.In a similar study, researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology discovered that people of the Piraha tribe(部落）in northwestern Brazil don’t have words for numbers such as “one” or “three.”. They are not able to say “five trees” or “ten trees” but can say “some trees,” “more trees,” or “many trees.” Professor Edward Gibson said that m ost people believe that everyone knows how to count, “but here is a group that does not count. They could learn, but it’s not useful in their culture, so they’ve never picked it up.”Although all humans are able to understand quantities(数量）,not all languages have numbers and not all people use counting. Number words in a certain language are a result of people needing numbers in their daily lives. Now we know that people have different ideas about numbers and math, too.( )61.The writer begins with the four questions in order to______.A．make a survey B．interest readersC．tell a story D．solve math problems( )62.What do we learn from the difference in finger counting between the US and China? A．People from China count much faster than people from the US.B．People from China need two hands to count from one to ten.C．People of different cultures may use different ways of finger countingD．People of different cultures use the same way of finger counting.( )63.Which of following is true about aboriginal Australians?A．They have only a few words for numbers B．They have hand movements to stand for numbersC．They can only count to five on their fingersD．They can understand different ideas about numbers( )64.The study of the Piraha tribe shows that____A．people all over the world know how to countB．People of the tribe have words for numbersC．Some groups of people are not smart enough to countD．Counting is not useful in the culture of the tribe( )65.What is the main idea of the passage?A．people from different cultures have different ideas about numbers and mathB．Chinese people can count more easily on their fingers than AmericansC．In some aboriginal cultures, people don’t even know how to countD．Some languages don’t have number words because people don’t need numbers.(D)When I was a child, my parents often took me to an old house in the thick forest. No other children ever stayed there. I didn't even have the choice of playing with a brother or sister.I could never understand what the attraction (吸引) of the house was, even for my parents, who enjoyed nothing better than to sit in silence with a good book. The woman in the house, my father's distant cousin, was a terrible cook and her food was inedible.One day, when I was wandering around the garden behind the house, I noticed a wooden house which had clearly been abandoned (被遗弃的) .As I walked towards it, I heard a noise, like an animal moving hurriedly away. Then I saw a man with a long beard standing at the door. I was greatly surprised.“Please don't tell them you saw me,” he said.“ They never use this place, and I have nowhere els e to live. ” “Don’t worry ,” I said. “I won’t tell anyone. But are you all right out here?

In the modern world, we can’t live without energy. But do you know where energy comes from?Nearly all energy comes from the sun, either in a roundabout (不直接的) way or straight from it, in the form of heat rays（光线）and light rays. The light from the moon also comes from the sun. The moon can be said to be like a large mirror which throws back the sun’s light to the earth.Electrical energy comes from the sun in a roundabout way. For example, it can come from the power of water falling down a mountain. The water falls there as rain, and we know that rain is made by the sun’s heat evaporating on the earth’s surface. This water steam rises, condenses (凝结) on cooling, and falls as rain. The light and heat energy from coal also comes from the sun in a roundabout way. Coal was made by the rocks pushing on trees and plants which died millions of years ago. Those trees and plants grew with the help of sunlig ht, changing the sun’s energy into chemical energy. When we burn coal, some of this energy is set free.Energy which we use to drive cars comes from petrol, which was also made with the help of the sun in a roundabout way. Plants and animals which ate the plants, died millions of years ago, and the parts of them that were left were pushed under the rocks in the earth. These parts left from dead animals and plants made petroleum (原油), from which petrol and oil are now formed.In this way, we can say that the sun is the place where nearly all energy comes from, and that without the sun’s heat and light, there could be no life on earth.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

For some, it means power; for others, it means wealth; for others still, it means fame. But I have my own understanding of it.I think success means trying your best. Many people believe that success means winning. 36 , in my opinion, it means trying your best and do 37 you can, no matter if you will win or lose.

Y ou have showed your best to 39 , and you have made your greatest effort to win.I think success means working hard. 40 can succeed without hard work. Thomas Edison succeeded because he had experimented thousands of times to find the 41 material to make an electric light bulb. Every success calls for hard work. So, 42 you want to succeed, work hard first!Lastly, I think success means not losing heart. No one can win all the time. Y ou will certainly lose or fail some day, but what’s important is not to lose heart. A person who 43 his or her heart is just like a tree without roots(根). It will be 44 blown down by thewind.

Every year earthquakes are responsible for (对……负责) a large number of deaths and a great deal of destruction in different parts of the world. There are about a million earthquakes a year. Luckily, however, not all of them are destructive. The biggest earthquake recorded to date is 8.9. A terrible earthquake happened in T angshan in 1976. All the houses and buildings fell down. About 242 000 people lost their lives in the earthquake. Why do earthquakes happen? Scientists explain that the outside of the earth is made of a number of different plates. When some plates of the earth move suddenly, an earthquake happens. Many earthquakes begin under the sea. Earthquakes may happen anywhere on the earth. They often happen near the mountains.During an earthquake the shakings, make rocks rise suddenly and even crack(断裂) open. Houses fall, people are killed or hurt and sometimes the whole villages or cities are destroyed. Can we do anything to keep ourselves safe from earthquakes? Scientists have studied earthquakes and made maps that show the “earthquake belts”. In areas in these belts, it’s possible for earthquakes to happen. In these areas we should build strong houses to tight against earthquakes. In the future, scientists will be able to tell when and where an earthquake will be before they happen. They can also tell people what to do and how to do.根据短文内容选择最佳答案。

(本题共20分,每小题1分)(A)Scientists say that people are only animals that can cry. We cry when we are sad, when we are happy. We cry for thousands of different reasons. When someone dies, we cry. When a baby is born, we cry, too. But crying is mystery. What are tears? Where do they come? Why do we get them? Modern science does not have all the answers to these questions.There are two different kinds of tears—emotional tears and reflex(反射的) tears. Emotional tears come from feelings, happiness or sadness. Reflex tears are the kind that comes when we get a piece of dirt in our eyes. But nobody knows where tears come from. William Frey is s tudying tears. Frey‟s study shows that women cry more often than men. However, his study does not tell us why women cry more. He also has a theory(理论) about why people cry, but it is only a theory, and he has not proved it yet. Crying can remove the poisons(毒素) produced by emotional stressor physical stress in the body and helps people stay healthy.Psychologists also believe that crying is good for us. They say it helps reduce stress. Stress can cause high blood pressure, heart disease, and other illness. Crying can help prevent these illnesses and keep us well. For our health and happiness, it may be good for all of us, men and women, to have a good cry more often.根据短文内容判断句子正（A）误（B）( )36. When someone dies, we cry. This is a kind of reflex crying.( )37. It is known that women cry more often than men.( )38. According to the passage, we know that tears can produce poisons in the body.( )39. Scientists have already found out the reasons for crying.( )40. Only emotional tears are good for us.(B)There are traffic and road signs all around us when we drive. We have known them well, but when you are driving in Australia or New Zealand, the road signs will have different meanings. When you see a red sign with white text, they usually tell you forbidden actions. Even whenyou feel it is not necessary to make a full stop, doing so is the safest choice as you drive. Most of signs that are green with white letters are informational signs. These signs usually tell you directions, distances and places. Brown signs with white text are usually signs for parks, historic sites, ski areas, forests and campgrounds. These signs areusually found first on the freeway(高速的) and as you follow them off the freeway they will guide you to your destination.A blue background with white text will usually means rest areas, food, gas or petrol and other services.Warning signs are usually posted with a yellow background and black text or signs. Some of these signs simply have pictures of something that the driver needs to be careful about. In many places of the USA there are yellow diamond shaped signs with a deer jumping. We understand that this means we need to be careful of deer jumping into the road as we are driving. Drivers in Australia often see a kangaroo jumping. It means they need to be cautious of kangaroos jumping into the road. These yellow and black signs are not always for animals. They may show a sign of children playing or just tell you that there is a school zone ahead.( )41. Which of the following road signs mean directions, distances and places? A. Brown sighs with white text B. Green signs with white letters C. Red signs with white text D.Blue signs with white text( )42．When you see a red sign with white text along the road, you‟d better_______. A.drive your car fast B.make a full stop C.ignore it D.get off your car( )43.The underlined phrase “be cautious of” in the last paragraph can be replaced with________.A. be careful aboutB. be afraid ofC. be tired ofD. be worried about ( )44.The yellow and black signs don‟t mean____________.A.there may be animals aheadB.there may be children playing aheadC.there may be a school zone aheadD.there may be policemen ahead ( )45. What is the text mainly about?A.How to drive your carB.What to do when you got lostC.When to stop your carD.What some road signs mean （C ）There was once a spider that lived in a cornfield . She liked this home and planned to staythere for the rest of her life. One day, the spider caught a little bug(虫) in her web. Just as the spider was about to eat him, the bug said: “If you let me go, I will tell you something important that can save your life.” The spider thought for a little while and listened. “You‟d better get out of this cornfield,” the little bug said. “The harvest is coming!”“I think you are just telling me a story,” the spider said with a smile.“Oh no ，it is true,” the little bug said. “All the stalks （茎杆） will be knocked down, and the corn will be gathered up. You will be killed by the giant machines if you stay here .” “I don‟t believe you,” the spider said as she ate the little bug for lunch.A few days later, the spider was laughing about the story the little bug had told her. She thought to herself: “A harvest! What a silly idea. I have lived here all of my life ，and nothing has ever disturbed me.”The next day was a beautiful sunny day. The sky above was clear, and there was no wind at all. That afternoon, as the spider was about to take a nap , she noticed some thick dusty clouds moving toward her. She c ould hear the noise of a great engine , and she said to herself: “I wonder what that could be?”( )46.The little bug tried to get free by _______.A. telling the spider some important newsB. fighting against the spiderC. destroying the webD. turning to his friends for help ( )47.The spider didn‟t believe the little bug because ________.

As students, we can not only use them to relax, but also study online. Do you have any online classes? It is possible to take classes at home. All you need is a computer and an earphone.However, most students don’t seem to like online classes. Recently, over 2,000 students from 10 cities took part in a survey. According to the survey, only about 35 percent of the students like taking such classes.Many students said it was hard to focus on studying while taking online classes. This was true for Li Jing, 15, at No. 1 High School. “There are no classmates and no real teachers watching me. I can surf the Internet or do other things if I want to. It’s harder to always stay focused,” she said.Li Jing prepares a lot before taking her classes to make sure she will keep her attention. She also pushes herself to communicate with teachers. Students can come up with or answer questions while taking online classes.Tian Lishan, 14, at No. 7 High School, thinks online interaction(互动) isn’t enough. “The online teachers don’t really get to know me. When I don’t hand in homework, all I get is a short message instead of real concern,” she said.However, online classes still have advantages. “It saves time and money compared with taking offline classes. Also, if I don’t understand some parts of a lesson, I can watch it over again,” Li Jing said.11．Many students think ________.A．it is impossible to take online classes at homeB．they can’t communicate with the teachers onlineC．they have to prepare a lot before taking online classesD．it’s hard to focus on studying while taking online classes12．What can we learn from the passage?A．Tian Lishan is a student from a high school in Beijing.B．Li Jing pushes herself to communicate with teachers in online classes.C．Li Jing thinks that online interaction isn’t enough.D．Li Jing thinks it is easy to always stay focused.13．The passage is mainly about ________.A．what the students think of online classesB．where the students take online classesC．why the students like taking online classesD．how the students take online classes at homeSitting in front of the television may be relaxing, but spending too much time in front of it may takes years off your life. Watching less television may help you live a much longer life.Australian researchers surveyed more than 11,000 people over the age of 25. Their study showed that if people watched TV for six hours a day, they lived about 4.8 years less than those who didn’t watch any television. Also, people who are over the age of 25 lose 22 minutes of life for each hour of TV that they watch.Sitting in front of the television isn’t healthy. The more TV you watch, the less exercise you’ll get. And the less exercise you get, the more likely it is that you’ll get sick.Lennert Veerman, the researcher who led the study, says watching too much TV will influence people’s life expectancies (预期寿命), even for people who have a good diet. He thinks it’s reasonable for doctors to start asking their patients about how much TV they watch, as it can be an indicator (指标) of someone’s overall health.Therefore, Veerman has called on people to turn off the TV and get off the sofa to get some exercise.“Exercise is good,” he said. “Even light activity is good for health.”14．According to the study, if a 35-year-old man watches TV for two hours, he will lose________ of life.A．6 hours B．4.8 years C．22 minutes D．44 minutes 15．What’s the main idea of Paragraph 3?A．How watching TV can affect people’s diets.B．Why watching TV can be bad for our health.C．Why people don’t exercise enough.D．How long people should exercise to stay-healthy.16．According to Veerman, ________.A．say NO to TVB．the more exercise we take, the healthier we will beC．the more TV we watch, the shorter life we will liveD．watching less TV and taking some exercise may help us live a longer lifeRich or poor, young or old, we all have problems. And unless we deal with our problems, we can easily become unhappy. Worrying about our problems can affect how we do at school. It can also influence the way we behave with our families. So how do we deal with our problems? There are many ways.By learning to forgetMost of us have probably been angry with our friends, parents or teachers. Perhaps they said something you didn’t like, or you felt they were unfair. Sometimes, people can stay angry for years about a small problem. Time goes by, and good friendships may be lost. When we are angry, however, we are usually the ones affected. Perhaps we have seen young children playing together. Sometimes they have disagreements, and decide not to talk to each other. However, this usually does not last for long. This is an important lesson for us: we can solve a problem by learning to forget.By regarding problems as challengesMany students often complain about school. They might feel they have too much work to do sometimes, or think the rules are too strict. We must learn how to change these “problems” into “challenges”. Education is an important part of our development. As young adults, it is our duty to try our best to deal with each challenge in our education with the help of our teachers.By thinking of something worseBy comparing yourself to other people, you will find your problems are not so terrible. Think about Stephen Hawking, for example, a very clever scientist, who regards his many physical problems as unimportant. He can’t walk or even speak, but he has become very famous and successful. We are probably quite healthy and smart. Let’s not worry about our problems. Let’s face the challenges instead.17．From the passage we know that ________.A．our problems can affect what we do at schoolB．our problems can affect the way we behave with our familiesC．our problems can affect how we do at school and at homeD．our problems can do nothing to us18．The writer thinks it is ________ in our education.A．our duty to try our best to deal with each challengeB．impossible to deal with each challengeC．difficult to deal with each challengeD．easy to deal with each challenge19．We can learn from the passage that ________.A．we can solve a problem by learning to forgetB．we must learn how to change these “problems” into ‘‘challenges’’C．by comparing yourself to other people, you will find your are not so terribleD．all above20．Which is the best title for this passage?A．Our problems can affect how we do at school and at homeB．How to deal with our problemsC．By regarding problems as challengesD．Everyone has to face many kinds of problemsFor as long as humans have appeared, we have been the most intelligent species（种类）on Earth. Monkeys know how to use simple tools. Elephants can be taught how to count. But things like art, literature（文学）, the Internet, and space travel have only been made possible by the amazing intelligence of humans. And yet, there are some who believe that we can create machines that can think and feel just like we do. Artificial intelligence（人工智能）, or AI, is defined（定义为）by Merriam-Webster as “the capability of a machine to imitate intelligent human behavior”.AI is around us every day. From Apple’s voice-activated assistant Siri to the software algorithms（算法）that shipping companies use to deal with deliveries（投递）, AI is very much a part of our lives.But why do we put so much effort into creating machines that can think the way we do? For one thing, AI can make our lives much easier. Imagine being able to be in a car, tell it your destination, and sit back in comfort as the AI-guided self-driving car takes you there.We’re already getting there—Changsha became the first city in China to roll out self-driving taxis in April 2020.However, there are risks. What if we somehow produced an artificial intelligence that was smarter than us? How would it behave toward us? These are the kinds of difficult questions that AI researchers ask themselves all the time.Apart from the risks, it is already clear that AI is here to stay. Only time will tell if it will lead us into a new age of prosperity（繁荣）, or be our end.21．The first paragraph is written to ________.A．explain how animals are intelligent B．show what fields AI can be used inC．prove the possibility of space travel D．explain how intelligence makes humans special22．Which of the following might not take advantage of AI?A．V oice-activated assistants.B．Software algorithms for deliveries.C．Machines that produce goods.D．Self-driving taxis.23．What is one of the risks about AI?A．We might not be able to live without it in the future.B．We can’t say for sure how AI will behave toward us.C．AI will never be as smart as humans.D．It is not easy to put AI into daily use.24．What does the underlined word “destination” in Paragraph 4 refer to?A．An end point.B．A name.C．A wish D．A feeling. 25．What’s the writer’s attitude towards AI?A．It will be good.B．It will be bad.C．It’s going to be part of our future.D．It’s risky and horrible.三、阅读还原7选5There is a kind of sport. It’s different from racing and ball games. It isn’t hard.too. Can you guess what it is? It’s Taijiquan.27 . When you practice it, you need to move your arms, your legs, your shoulders and your neck often. So if you practice often, it’s good for your health.Taijiquan is also an art. 28 . People play it to the soft music. It can make you relaxed and calm. You will enjoy yourself when you play it. Tajiquan is one of Chinese National Intangible Cultural Heritages (非物质文化遗产).Taijiquan is also a kind of wushu. You use your hands to pull and push, you use your legs to move, and you use your shoulders to get out of the way of danger. 29 .Now Tajiquan is not only famous in China, but also in other countries. 30 . Why not turn on the music and play Taijiquan with me now?A．Taijiquan is a kind of sport.B．More and more foreign people enjoy playing Taijiquan.C．It’s popular with old people in China.D．Tajiquan is good for people to keep healthy.E．Besides (除……之外) sport, it’s also like dancing.F．You can enjoy it with music.G．It isn’t so quick as common wushu, but it is also strong and powerful (有力量的).四、完形填空Did you hear of “comfort zone”(舒适区)? It is like a place where you feel comfortable with yourself and do things without feeling 31 .For example, you feel very comfortable and relaxed to speak in front of ten people, however, it 32 you feel uncomfortable and stressed when you have to give the speech to more than ten people. Then ten people would be the comfort zone for your public(公共的) speech. When Lisa started in eighth grade with new classmates, she thought she was not going to have a wonderful school life. She only had three friends. And she was 33 afraid to speak in front of class. She had a lot of negative(消极的) ideas when she noticed people34 her. She was always thinking about if people liked her or if 35 thought she was cool.This all changed when she went out of her comfort zone and started communicating more with her classmates. 36 she found surprised herself. Her classmates actually really liked her and enjoyed playing with her. Now she has become more outgoing and she is37 than she ever was before. She says she wishes she has done it earlier.Going out of the comfort zone and trying some new things could be difficult for some people at first, like Lisa.That’s because they are afraid to fail and dislike getting uncomfortable. If they always stay 38 their comfort zone, they will stop making progress. So let’s be brave enough to take 39 in life and challenge ourselves. 40 we push ourselves to change, we can’ be who we want to be. Remember progress begins at the end of our comfort zone.31．A．excited B．comfortable C．stressed D．scary 32．A．makes B．causes C．decides D．helps33．A．just B．hardly C．always D．never 34．A．looking for B．looking at C．looking after D．looking around 35．A．they B．we C．he D．she 36．A．Where B．Which C．Who D．What 37．A．taller B．happier C．quieter D．sadder 38．A．in B．out of C．on D．away 39．A．care B．exercise C．breaks D．risks 40．A．Because B．Unless C．If D．When五、语法填空Fill in each blank with a proper from of the word given or a proper word.For many Chinese people, White Rabbit Candy brings back memories of childhood. It is hot in more than 50 countries all over the world.White Rabbit Candy was created by a company called ABC (short for “Anybody Can”) in Shanghai, China in the 1940s, 41 it was called “ABC Candy”. At first, the candy had a picture of Mickey Mouse on the package. It became a favorite among children. Later, the candy was renamed as “White Rabbit Candy”, and the company put a cartoon rabbit on the package instead. This change made the candy 42 (popular).The candy tastes sweet, 43 (milk) and creamy. It wears rice paper and the paper can also 44 (eat). In recent years, White Rabbit Candy has also been produced in different flavors, including chocolate, strawberry, and coffee. With so many 45 (choose), everyone will 46 (sure) find his favorite.White Rabbit Candy is more than just a delicious treat, it also 47 (hold) an important place in Chinese culture. It is often as a gift during holidays and important occasions. US president Richard Nixon got some when he made 48 (he) visit to China in 1972. And it is also used in traditional Chinese medicine to help people 49 (cough) less.White Rabbit Candy brings a smile to people who tries it. So next time when you’re looking for a sweet treat 50 a rich history and a delicious flavor, give White Rabbit Candy a try.六、阅读补全句子Self-esteem (自尊) is made up of the feelings and opinions we have about ourselves. It can change, depending on the way we think. If you want to feel better about yourself, try some of these suggestions.See mistakes as learning chances. Accept that you will make mistakes. Everyone does. They are part of learning. Instead of thinking “I always mess up”, tell yourself you are not always like that. Just learn your lesson and try to avoid the same mistake next time.Know what you can change and what you can’t. If you realize that you are unhappy with something about yourself that you can change (how heavy you are), start today. If it’s something you can’t change (how tall you are), accept it.Reduce thoughts that make you feel bad. Do you often compare yourself with others? Notice what you are thinking. Something like “She’s much better than me. I’m not better at basketball. I should just stop playing.” causes that you feel bad about yourself.Accept praise. When self-esteem is low, you may fail to see or notice the good things people say about you. You don’t believe it when someone says a nice thing about you. You think “... yeah, but I’m not all that great...” and you pay little attention to the praise. However, it’s better for you to accept the praise, enjoy it and take it seriously.Use words with proper meanings and grammatical rules to the blanks.(Only one word for one blank)51．are part of learning and we just need to learn our lesson and try to the same mistake next time.52．We can’t change everything. As a result, we can change it, accept something that we can’t change, such as our .53．We should thoughts like “She’s much better than me.” because they lead to feelings about ourselves.54．We’d better accept the enjoy it and take it seriously, instead of paying attention to it.55．The article gives us pieces of advice in all to help build our .七、讲稿56．学校英语角即将开展一次以“朋友”为主题的演讲活动，请你写一篇演讲稿参加活动，包括以下内容：1.你最好的朋友是什么样的？2.你的朋友曾给予过你什么？3.你准备为你的朋友做什么？词数90左右；可以适当增加细节，以使行文连贯；文中不能透露考生身份的任何信息。

This week, we saw a real one—the AirCar from a company called Klein Vision.The AirCar completed a test flight between the airports of Nitra and Bratislava. It flew at a height of 2,500 meters and a speed of 185 kilometers per hour (kph) by the company’s CEO Stefan Klein. The 90 kilometers journey took 35 minutes to complete—about half the time it takes by car. After landing it at Bratislava Airport, Stefan then pushed a button to turn it into a sports car. The process took only two minutes and fifteen seconds. Then he drove it into the city. He described the experience as “normal” and “very pleasant”.The AirCar is not the world’s first flying car, but it has the greatest potential (潜力). Like any other old car, the AirCar runs on gas from the pump (油泵), but it can turn into an aircraft in such a short time. It can ascend from the road directly and reach heights of around 5486 meters—about half of the height of a plane.Although the AirCar can allow people to avoid the traffic, they would likely increase noise and air pollution. However, it still opens a new page of transportation and turns science fiction into a reality. As the customers, we can just wait for a ride in a super cool flying car.4. The writer leads to the topic by ________ in paragraph 1.A．telling a reason B．giving an opinionC．asking a question D．comparing two facts5. It takes less than ________ minutes for the flying car to turn into a sports car.A．185 B．35 C．3 D．26. The underlined word “ascend” has the similar meaning to move ________.A．up B．down C．back D．forward7. The purpose of the passage is to ________.A．show the effects of the AirCar B．tell people how to fly a flying carC．explain how to test the AirCar D．introduce a new way of transportationLi Bai and Du Fu, two of the greatest poets in Chinese history, formed a lasting friendship.
