arrange（排列） the 26 English letters in order and use numbers to represent each of them，for example， 1 for a， 2 for b， 3 for c…26 for z， you can change an Eng1ish word into a number． So hard work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11＝98， meaning 98 is its mark； knowledge： 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5＝96； love：12+15+22+5＝54， and luck： 12+21+3+11＝47，a small mark．None of these words can give one a full mark． What about money？ It can't，either．Then what else？ Don't be worried．You can always find an answer to a problem in your life，when you change your way of looking at things or doing things， or your attitude．Yes， attitude is the word．See for yourself：attitude： 1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5＝100， a full mark．Different attitudes lead to different courses of life． Most time people hope for a better life． It is possible that they will have a better life if they change their attitudes． When you change your manner and became friendly toward others， you'll meet more smiling faces toward you． In the same way，if you take a positive attitude toward failure， you'll find it's also rewarding（有益的） though it has caused you losses．（1）The writer thinks is the most important thing in a person's life．A.hard work B． knowledge C． money D． attitude（2）What is the mark of the word "money" according to the passage？A． 73．B． 72．C． 75．D． 62．（3）From the passage we can learn that． A．different attitudes come from different coursesof lifeB.sometimes failure can bring you good if you take a positive attitude C．math can solve every problem easily in our daily lifeD．none of the English words except "attitude" is 100 or more2.Dear Mr Price，I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service．What happened last Saturday evening made me very angry． It was my son's birthday so

They live next to each other and their farms are both at the foot of the mountain. So they can help each other. But neither of them likes to use his head. They're both poor though they work hard. Most villagers have built new houses, but they still live in the low and broken houses. They never find out why.Once Uncle Li went to town to buy some medicine for his wife. In the town he heard the apples in a city were expensive. He told Uncle Wang about it as soon as he went back. They decided to carry some apples to the city. They borrowed some money from their friends and bought nearly 1,000 kilograms of apples in the villages and carried them to the city on a tractor. Bad luck! A lot of apples has already been carried there when they arrived. A few days later they had to sell them at a low price (价格). They felt unhappy and returned to their village."I can't understand why we sustained (蒙受) losses in business while others always profit (盈利)" Uncle Li asked one day."The tractor was too small " Uncle Wang said without thinking. "We'll carry more apples on a truck next time!""I agree!" said Uncle Li. "How foolish (傻的) we were !"( )1.

Which of the following is true?A. The two farmers found out why they were poor.B. The two farmers will soon get rich.C. Neither of the farmers is clever.D. The two farmers decided to buy a truck.BAlthough I had left school against the advice of my teacher, I had, without telling anyone, tried to continue my studies in literature at evening classes. It was a tiresome walk from one end of the city to another and to sit among adults was uninteresting. I was the youngest in the class, so the friendship I knew at school was absent, I put up with it for a short period. It was too long a walk on cold winter’s nights and it was hard to put my heart into Shakespeare with wet shoes and trousers. So I continued reading books and startedwriting poetry at home.By chance, I won some prizes and rewards for literature. A young woman from a TV company came to the college one day. She wanted to make a short film about me, to which I said, “No, I couldn’t do that.” Not that I had any real excuse, I was just frightened. In the end she advised me that I should do it the following day.So I did. They made a short film of me reading one of my poems and I became more interested in literature than ever. I wondered what I should do after this, and decided some weeks later that I could not imagine myself spending the rest of my days dealing with machines. So one evening, I hesitatingly（支吾其词地） told my parents that I wanted to return to school. They wanted to know if I was sure, if I knew what it meant and whether I realized that if I gave up my job training, it would be very difficult to get a good job. But nothing could stop me, and they asked about the matter on future.( )5. Which of the following has most probably been discussed in the paragraphs above this text?A. The writer’s unhappy childhood.B. The poor teaching quality of the writer’s school.C. The writer’s leaving school against his teacher’s advice.D. Whether it was worth leaving school for job training.( )6.

After his success, he __________.A. decided to get a good jobB. decided to continue his studies in literature at the evening schoolC. decided to return to the school he once leftD. began to feel very important and proudCFor a long time, humans have used technology (科技) to study the world around us, and Mars is the latest place we’re using machines to explore. Besides the earth, the “red planet” is seen, as the one place in our solar system most likely to have life.Early last month, the first American robot, Spirit, landed on Mars without any problem. Opportunity, the second robot, landed on the planet more than a week ago. Scientists are very excited about these machines’ safe landing on Mars. It means that now we have an excellent chance to look for water and other signs of life. So far, the rob ots have found some stones that could show Mars was once a wet and warm planet.But the trips made by Spirit and Opportunity were dangerous. Mars is often called the “death planet”, because in the past its environment has been unfriendly to the robotexplorers. Before Spirit and Opportunity, nearly forty spaceships had been sent to Mars since the 1960s. Two-thirds of them failed. The first spaceship, Korabl, sent in 1962 by Russia was among them. It broke apart (分裂) near the earth.( )8. ________ is the latest place we’re using machines to explore.A. MarsB. SunC. EarthD. Moon( )9. For a long time humans think ________.A. they can surely find life on MarsB. there may be life on MarsC. it’s too late for them to explore Mars nowD. Mars is the only planet that has life on it( )10. The two robots ________.A. have found out that it is warm and wet on MarsB. were sent to Mars to find some stonesC. were the first two American robots that landed on MarsD. are the only machines that have landed on Mars so far( )11. The third paragraph mainly tell us ________.A. it’s a very hard and dangerous trip for spaceships to MarsB. two-thirds of the spaceships sent to Mars have failedC. Spirit and Opportunity landed on Mars successfullyD. Mars is called the “death planet”DIn the 1920s and 30s the airlines were just beginning. It was unusual for people to travel by air because it was expensive and dangerous. In those days, there were no flight attendants to look after the passengers. Young men ,or “stewards” helped the passengers onto the airplane and carried the passengers’ luggage(行李)but they did not provide food and drinks. But then in 1930,a woman called Ellen Church invented the “stewardess”.Ellen Church was born in 1904 on a farm in Iowa. She was a different child. She didn’t want to work on a farm or marry a farmer —she wanted a more adventurous(冒险的)life. Ellen studied to be a nurse at the University of Minnesota and then got a job in a hospital. For the next few years she stayed at the hospital but also took flying lessons and got her pilot’s license.Ellen was twenty-five years old when she first got in touch with Boeing Air Transport. She loved flying but she understood that airlines were a man’s world. Although women like Emelia Earheart were becoming famous, she realized it was impossible for a woman to have a career as a pilot .But she had another idea. Most people were frightened of flying because. flying was still an unreliable(不可靠的) way to travel. There were often delays(延误),many crashes and the bad weathers made many passengers sick. Ellen thought nurses could take care of passengers during flights and B.A.T. agreed.The young woman from Iowa and seven other nurses became the first air stewardesses.At first pilots were unhappy because they did not want stewardesses on airplanes, but passengers loved the stewardesses. In 1940 there were around 1000 of them working for differe nt airlines. The early “stewardesses” had to be under twenty-five-year-old, single and slim. When a woman joined an airline, she had to promise not to get married or have children. It was hard job and not well paid. They worked long hours and earned ＄1 an hour.In the 1970s, stewardesses were unhappy in their job and airlines had to make some changes. Since the 1970s, “stewardesses” have been called flight attendants. They are well paid and work fewer hours than in the past.（）12. The last sentence of the first paragraph suggests that _________.A. the word “stewardess” was made up by Ellen ChurchB. Ellen Church was the first woman who flew a planeC. Ellen Church was the first woman who worked on a planeD. Ellen Church was the first woman passenger on a plane（） 13. From the second paragraph, we learn that ________.A. Ellen did not behave in the same way as most other girlsB. Ellen’s family was not rich enough to support her educationC. Ellen was fond of working as a nurse in the hospitalD. Ellen has an unhappy childhood that changed her completely（）14.The main reason for Boeing Air Transport offering Ellen the job was ________.A. her flying experienceB. her university educationC. her nursing experienceD. her life attitudes（）15 .The passage mainly talks about _______.A. the background of early flying pilotsB. the experience of flying passengersC. the history of early flight attendantsD. the development of airplanes第II 卷（非选择题共60分）四、词汇运用（共15分，每小题1分）A) 根据括号中所给的汉语写出单词，使句子意思完整正确。

A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health.There are plenty of "energy drinks" on the market. Most of them have beautiful colours and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great! But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡因） in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much.Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee has limited(限制）its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.（）1.

He is，even today，believed to have courage and adventure（冒险）. But what was the life of a cowboy really like？The cowboy's job is clear from the word "cowboy”. A cowboy，according to dictionary explanation，is a man who rides a horse and whose job is to care for cattle（牛）. The cattle were in the West and in Texas. People in the cities of the East wanted beef from these cattle. Trains could take the cattle east. But first the cattle had to get to the trains. Part of the cowboy's job was to take the cattle hundreds of miles to the railroad towns.These trips were called cattle drives. A cattle drive usually took several months. Cowboys rode for sixteen hours a day. Because they rode so much，each cowboy brought along about eight horses. A cowboy changed horses several times each day.The cowboys had to make sure that the cattle arrived safely. Before starting on a drive，the cowboys branded（给……烙上印）the cattle. They burned a mark on the cattle to show who they belonged to. But these marks didn't stop rustlers（盗窃牲口的人），or cattle thieves. Cowboys had to protect the cattle from rustlers. Rustlers made the already dangerous trip even more dangerous.Even though their work was very difficult and dangerous, cowboys did not earn much money. They were paid badly. But cowboys liked their way of life. They lived in a wild and open country. They lived a life full of adventure and freedom.33．A cowboy's job is __________.A．to send beef to the city peopleB．to be a hero in moviesC．to take care of cattleD．to brand the cattle34．During a cattle drive, cowboys took the cattle __________.A．to the East from the WestB．onto the trainsC．to the people in the citiesD．to the railroad towns35．Cowboys branded the cattle to __________.A．keep them from being stolenB．make the cattle drive dangerousC．show their courageD．protect their beef36．Cowboys enjoyed themselves because __________.A．they could live a free life with excitementB．they made a lot of moneyC．they loved the difficult and dangerous jobD．they were heroes in moviesIn our culture, the ability to make one's own decisions is important. John F. Kennedy's quote(引语）"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." shows an unpleasant truth.Much of what we know and believe has been taught to us by others, and we often accept this information without spending much time thinking it over for ourselves.In today's world, we are being presented with information, ideas and beliefs, but many of them are against each other. Psychology(心理学）tells us that if we hear an idea enough times, or心t comes from someone we respect(尊敬), we will probably believe that idea. In these cases, we base our opinions on the opinions of others. If each of us does not think about this information for ourselves and come to our own conclusions , we will become nothing more than parrots（鹦鹉）quoting the opinions of others.Examples of spreading fake news without thought can be seen on the Internet. Some people believe whatever they read and then share the story without thinking about the facts. All it takes is one quick click(点击）of the "share" button, and the story travels on its way to influence even more unthinking readers. This can cause serious problems.If we just stop for a moment to think about what we read and hear, and form our own opinions, we will be more thoughtful, more independent, and more creative people, but fewtake that time. Yet we need not lose heart over this bad habit. In fact, simply becoming aware (意识到）of it is the first step towards correcting it. Once we become aware that we tend(趋向）to hold opinions and beliefs without thinking them through, we can change that pattern of behavior. Hopefully, we can learn to experience and enjoy the "discomfort of thought" and form our own opinions.37．What's the purpose of this passage?A．To describe how Internet news spreads.B．To explain why people don't have their own opinions.C．To tell people that they should have their own thoughts.D．To warn people not to believe other people's ideas.38．The underlined word "fake" in Paragraph 4 probably meansA．untrueB．unhappyC．unfairD．unusual39．How can we have our own opinions according to the passage?A．By spreading the information we receive.B．By learning more about psychology.C．By quoting others' opinions like parrots.D．By thinking about what we read and hear.40．We can probably find this passage in a book aboutA．historyB．educationC．sportsD．languagesIf I were to ask you to close your eyes and I gave you a piece of apple to eat，would you be able to tell me what it is just by tasting it？Of course，you could. Your tongue（舌头）helps you know what different foods taste like. Do you know that foods would taste different if you did not have a nose？What You Need☆a friend to help☆small pieces of any food like carrot，orange，banana-whatever you have☆small pieces of apples，raw（uncooked）potato and（if you are brave）onion（洋葱）What You DoThere are actually three different experiments. You and your friend should take turns trying them on each other.Experiment1:Have your friend close her eyes and open her mouth. Give her a piece of the food and ask her to taste it. Then, ask her what she thinks it is. She will probably guess correctly.Experiment2:While your friend has her eyes closed, give her a piece of raw potato. At the same time, hold a piece of apple right under her nose. Ask her to eat the potato and tell you what she thinks it is. She will say it is a piece of apple! You can even do it the other way around, and she will think she is eating a potato, or, perhaps, she won't be able to name what she is eating.Experiment 3:(for the brave)Take a piece of raw onion. You don't have to close your eyes this time. Press your nose closed with yourother hand so that no smells can get into your nose. Now eat a small piece of the onion. Surprise! As long as you hold your nose, you will not be able to taste the onion.The Science SecretYou already know the science secret. Your nose and your tongue work together to make food taste the way it does. Your tongue, however, can taste only certain flavors like salty, bitter,sour, and sweet. All of the other"tastes"are actually "smells", and you need your nose to taste them.Oh, you might use this science secret the next time you are forced to eat something you don't like the taste of. If you hold your nose while you eat it, you won't"taste"it at all. 41．According to this article, what could a person know about food?A．People hold their noses to eat onions.B．If you close your eyes, food will taste better.C．People need a sense of smell to taste some food.D．If you can smell potatoes, you will taste apples.42．What is the most probable reason Experiment 3 is called"for the brave"?A．You have to eat a raw onion.B．You keep your eyes open.C．You have to hold your nose.D．You do the experiment alone.43．What can we learn from the passage?A．Knowledge comes from personal experience.B．Team work helps us to find out science secrets.C．We should have courage while doing experiments.D．We can't draw a conclusion simply from the feeling.44．What's the passage mainly about?A．Why different foods can smell the same.B．How smell influences the way food tastes.C．Why some things smell better than others.D．How smell changes the way we see things.四、根据首字母填空根据汉语提示写出相应的单词。
