Four of my friends and I gathered at our favourite restaurant for Anna’s birthday party. We were all having a good time when suddenly Julia said, “Hey! Let’s go to 35 house and party on!”“I’m not sure if it’s a good idea,” I said. I looked to the others for support (支持), but it seemed they were 36 going to Julia’s house, for they didn’t know 37 to say “no” to Julia. Julia always tries to bully (欺负) the rest of us. She knew that we would all get into trouble with our parents if we left the restaurant. But that didn’t 38 her.“Don’t forget Anna’s mother will bring the birthday cake at 8:30,” I said, “W e should wait 39 Anna’s mother arrive s!”“Don’t be silly. She’ll find us,” Julia said, laughing, like it was no big deal.“My mother is coming here to pick me up,” I lied, not wanting to tell her I knew my mother wouldn’t 40 me to go.“Stay here by yourself,”Julia said, “The rest of us are going.”Then she began calling me names.I felt tears coming to my eyes, so I ran to the bathroom. I felt so childish, crying alone. It’s really 41 to go against your friends, especially when you’re hoping to be popular with them. A moment later, Amanda came in and said, “Julia is just that 42 . I agree with you. If we get out right now, maybe we can persuade (劝说) the others to stay.”“I’m staying here with Susan,” Amanda said as soon as we 43 to the table. Then she said something I hadn’t 44 . “If I leave, I’ll get in to trouble with my parents, s o let’s take Susan’s 45 .”Anna looked happy again as she said, “My mother wouldn’t agree, either. I’ll stay with you two.”“Okay, I’ll stay, too,” Ellie added.“Well, I’m not going alone. I have to stay! Oh!” Julia said.I was surprised it was so 46 . None of the girls left and I knew it was because Amanda sided with me.I guess it’s true that t here’s strength in numbers. Friends can influence each other, for good or bad.35.

With many consumers streaming in, I knew another long business day began. And I had to serve far into the night.As I rushed among the tables, suddenly, a 36 asked if I could mind a child. I was quite 37 but I could tell the man was quite desperate. So I had to make a 38 with him that if he wanted his son to stay and wait for him he had to 39 something in the shop.This was quite 40 for the man to do; I could 41 he was quite poor by the 42 he was dressed.

Looking down I could see his 45 were also a bit torn and the heels were in a terrible state. I thought he was going for a job interview. In the end he bought a small box of 46for his little son and seated him down in the corner. I could tell the boy was feeling down and only could 47 with a bit of cheering up.Seeing that the kid sat there for quite a while, I was a bit 48 as the poor little kid was sitting 49 his own. People watched him and some kids even came over to pick on him. I was 50 to see one of them even knocked his cookies off the table. He quickly went and got them back without saying a word. I was hoping his father would 51 up and come back for his son’s 52 .At closing time, the only person left was the little boy. After a while, the father finally came in with a tiresome look. I 53 he didn’t get any job. As they were leaving, I offered the kid a little cake, but the man rejected it. I 54 he felt as if I had just abused him. Of course I didn’t mean to.

Years ago, like you, I found myself extremely frustrated with my pillow going flat. Most pillows are designed to break down. I would wake up in the morning with a sore arm, my neck would hurt, my fingers would be numb, and I would toss and turn all night not knowing why. I tried many different pillows on the market and none of them worked. So, I started to research pillows and study sleep disorders. I was determined to create the world’s healthiest, most comfortable, and strongest pillow. My Pillow uses our unique, patented medical fill that stays cool, corresponds to your exact individual needs regardless of sleep position, and stays healthy for your full 10-year guarantee. It is non-allergic, and you can wash and dry it as easily as your favorite jeans.My Pillow is not available in stores. I have spent the last seven years selling My Pillow face-to-face at fairs, expos and events. Hundreds of experts and medical doctors carry and recommend them for their patients. I have been featured on medical talk shows that air around the world. I have sold hundreds of thousands of pillows and have received great gratitude from satisfied customers regarding how My Pillow has changed their lives and provided a more comfortable, restful sleep.And, My Pillow comes in different sizes and is fit for your size and sleeping pattern. So you can be assured that you will have the most comfortable pillow for you.I truly believe it is the best pillow in the world and that if everyone had one and got better sleep, the world would be a much nicer place.56. What makes My Pillow unique?A. It is easily washed and dried.B. It suits your sleeping position.C. It contains special cooling medicine.D. It helps you stay healthy for 10 years.57. Where can people probably buy My Pillow?A. At fairs.B. In stores.C. In markets.D. On the Internet.58. What is the author’s purpose in wr iting this article?A. To introduce a comfortable pillow.B. To encourage people to buy My Pillow.C. To give some advice on sleeping problems.D. To tell us how to select a comfortable pillow.BFor or Against? — That Is the QuestionAndy is the most unreasonable and he makes me so angry that I could even scream sometimes! Of course, I sort of have to love him because he is my twin brother. Andy and Amy (that is me) have the same curly hair and dark eyes and are equally stubborn. Yet, on most issues we usually take opposite positions.Just this week in our school, there was a heated discussion on whether to adopt a school dress code. Every student would be required to wear a uniform. The teachers are divided: Some are in favor of the uniforms while others are opposed. The principal has asked the students to express their opinions by voting on the issue before decisions are made. But she will have the final word on the dress code.I think a dress code is a good idea. The reason is simple. The less I have to decide first thing in the morning, the better. I can’t tell you how many mornings I look into my closet and just stare, unable to decide what to wear.Andy is shocked at my opinion. Last night, he even dragged out my parents’ high schoo l photo albums to show me how brilliant they looked without uniforms! He also declared, “Bruce Springsteen never wore a school uniform. Bob Dylan wouldn’t have been caught dead in a school uniform! Besides, when I am feeling political, I want to be able to wear clothes made of natural, undyed fibers, sewn or assembled in countries that do not pollute the environment or exploit child labor. If I have to wear a uniform, I won’t feel like me!”To that I replied, “So your personal heroes didn’t wear school unif orms. But they went to high school about a million years ago! I feel sorry for you since I had no idea that your ego(自我) is so fragile that it would be completely destroyed by a uniform.” That really made him angry and he shouted, “You’re just copying what you hear that new music teacher saying because you are crazy about him!”Fortunately, the bell rang before we could do each other physical harm, and we went to our separate classes. The vote for or against uniforms took place later that day. The results o f the vote and the principal’s decision will be announced next week. I wonder what it will be. I know how I voted, and I’m pretty sure I know how Andy voted. How would you vote—for or against?59. Amy and Andy often get angry with each other because______.A. they’re both stubbornB. they like different teachersC. they always hold different viewsD. they don’t like each other very much60. Amy holds the idea that _______.A. school clothing should reflect parents’ valuesB. teenagers should never follow the latest clothing fashionC. wearing school uniforms means one makes less decision every morningD. the way one dresses should be an expression of one’s personality61. Who will decide whether the students should wear uniforms?A. The principal.B. Their parents.C. Their teachers.D. Students themselves.62. In Paragraph 5, Amy aims to say that______.A. Andy shouldn’t look up to his heroes so muchB. our clothes should decide people’s attitudes towards usC. Andy’s lack of self-confidence is reflected in his clothingD. our clothes shouldn’t determine how we feel about ourselvesCMany factories and businesses around the globe have been struggling to deal with the severe economic realities of the recession (衰退), so they are having their employees take compulsory unpaid leave to save money. For some workers, their salaries have been cut by 20 percent, forced to stay home one out of every five working days. For some businesses, though, the economic downturn is actually a goldmine.Instead of going out to fancy restaurants to dine with the whole family, many choose to stay at home. “People are eating out less and staying home more, which is driving our sales,” reports Domino’s Pizza chief manager Chris Moore. Pizza is very popular, and it is also very affordable for a family that has little extra money to spare. Domino’s business in England rose 15 percent in the first six weeks this year compared with the previous year. Moore believes that the customers now will remain loyal when the financial situation rights itself. “By exceeding (超越) their expectations in terms of product quality and speed of delivery... these customers will stay with Domino’s when the economy becomes better.” said Moore.Delivered pizza is not the only winner in the stay-at-home economy. Almost all online games have been reporting record-high income since the middle of 2008. Online games are designed to enable players to let off steam by interacting with each other socially in the comfort of their own homes. A Shanghai-based online game producer recently joked: “The game businesses are worried about economic recovery.”Another business that has boomed during the recession is camping equipment. Luxury vacations for families are down, but people still want to get away from their dull lives. This means that sales of tents, sleeping bags, and other outdoor equipment has gone up as families are trying to still have fun even though their bank accounts aren’t as good as they once were. There have been reports that sales of fishing equipment are on the rise because many people believe this can help lower their grocery bills.63. What is true about Domino’s in economic hard times?A. It is giving its employees a 20 percent cut.B. It has added four or five new cheaper pizzas.C. It has to close 15 percent of its stores.D. Its business is increasing quite rapidly.64. What does the phrase “let off steam” mean in the third paragraph?A. Save money.B. Free one’s feelings.C. Kill another player online.D. Make money from an online game.65. How does the author present his point?A. By giving examples.B. By showing a sequence.C. By explaining causes and effects.D. By making comparisons and contrasts.66. Which is the best title for the passage?A. Domino’s PizzaB. In-house EconomyC. Booming BusinessesD. Economic RecessionDAll around the world, shoppers flock to Wal-Mart to buy everything. In Texas, they come for another reason: to see the wind turbine(涡轮机), which supplies 5% of the store’s electricity. It along with other facilities, such as exterior walls coated with heat-reflective paint, makes this Wal-Mart a green giant.The laws of economics suggest that Wal-Mart, with 5,200 stores worldwide, influences everything including the price of all kinds of goods. It throws its weight behind environmental responsibility, and the impact could be amazing. “One little change in product packaging could save 1,500 trees,” says Wal-Mart CEO Lee Scott. “If everyb ody saves 1,500 trees or 50 barrels of oil, at the end of the day you have made a huge difference.”Scott wants Wal-Mart to do its part too. He has promised to cut the existing greenhouse-gas emissions(排放) over the next few years and promised to construct new stores that are more efficient. He wants Wal-Mart’s fleet (车队) of more than 7,000 trucks to get twice as many miles per gallon by 2015. Factories that show Wal-Mart they’re cutting air pollution wil l get preferential treatment in the supply chain. Wal-Mart says it’s working with consumer-product manufacturers to reduce their packaging and will reward them if they do so.Some people may doubt it is a bid to attract attention from Wal-Mart’s controver sial labor and health-insurance practices. But it’s not just window dressing, because Wal-Mart sees profits in going green. Scott says, “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy. We don’t go where we don’t think there’s a great interest in change.”Like Bill Gates, who started his charitable foundation, Scott happens to be promoting Wal-Mart’s image at a time whenhis company’s reputation is declining. He acknowledges that he launched the plan partly to shield(保护，庇护) Wal-Mart from bad press ab out its contribution to global warming. “By doing what we’re doing today, we avoid the headline risks that are going to come for people who did not do anything,” he says. “At some point businesses will be held responsible for the actions they take.” Meanwh ile, should Wal-Mart succeed at shrinking its environmental footprint and lowering prices for green products, both the planet and the company will profit.67. We can infer from the passage that_______.A.Lee Scott is Wal-Mart’s CEOB.there are 5,200 stores in the worldC.Wal-Mart has a great influence on the world marketD.Wal-Mart has more than 7,000 trucks all over the world68. What does the underlined sentence “This is a business philosophy, not a social philosophy.” mean in the fourthparagraph?A.Wal-Mart predicts huge profits in its green activity.B.Wal-Mart’s green activity is just window dressing.C.Wal-Mart aims to solve its health-insurance practices.D.Wal-Mart doesn’t have any social responsibility at all.69. What will Wal-Mart probably do in the future?A. Reduce air pollution in its present stores.B. Give favorable treatment to its consumers.C. Ask the factories to reduce their packaging.D. Demand the fleet of trucks to use more fuel than before.70. What is the main idea of the last paragraph?A.Provide the background of the green plan.B.Stress the purpose of Wal-Mart’s green plan.C.Present the risk that Wal-Mart is facing nowadays.D.Analyze the similarity between Bill Gates and Scott.第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）The word “diary” comes from the Latin word “diarium”, which me ans “daily allowance”. 71 And it is used for business notes, planning activities, keeping track of scheduled appointments, or documenting what has already happened. Some doctors suggest that writing in a diary is a good form of self-study.In America, from the 1940s through the 1980s, a diary was thought of mostly as a way to privately express one’s deepest thoughts while keeping notations about the day. 72 Many times, movies would show a teenage girl beginning to write in her diary while she said aloud, “Dear diary…”.73 A diary kept by a young German Jewish girl by the name of Anne Frank provides us with invaluable lessons about history, for she documented her experiences while she hid from the Nazis during their occupation of the Netherlands in World War II. Her diary became one of the world’s most widely read books and is the basis for many film s.a.Samuel Pepys, who lived during the 17th century, is the earliest diary keeper that is famous today. His diary is also an important documentation of history, for it gives personal insight(洞察力) into London’s Great Pla gue and the Great Fire. His diary is being published on the Internet, and i t’s interesting to note that there has been a new entry every day since January of 2003. It will continue over the course of several years to come. 74Today’s electronic version of the diary,the web log or “blog”has once again stretched the diary to be much more than a personal account of the day’s events. There are blogs to document recipes,traveling, movies,independent news, product announcements,photos, and anything else that needs to be recorded over time. Search engines like have been created to keep track of the more than 112 million blogs that are currently public. 75A. It refers to a book for writings by date.B. In its newest form, the diary has become more popular than ever.C. Reading his diary is fascinating, and it makes his life all the more real to us.D. People love to write diaries, so whenever they are free, they will write a few lines.E. Those private reflections may have historical significance long after the author’s death.F. Nowadays, the blog has taken the place of the diary and becomes more and more popular.G. In those times, and even continuing on today, writing in a diary was like writing to a specialfriend.假设你是红星中学高三（1）班的学生李华。

Ndebele women wore necklaces around their necks andbracelets around their arms. Rings were 16 worn on their legs. The rings showed wealth. A woman with many rings had a 〔 n 〕 17 husband. In the past, women only took the rings off when their husbands died. Today Ndebele women still wear the rings , but not all of the time.People in India have been wearing jewelry for more than 5,000 years. In the past , both men and women wore a lot of jewelry. Women wore as many as 50 bracelets at a time!Over time , men 18 wearing so much jewelry , but for women jewelry continues to be very important.In India , jewelry means safety. If a family has trouble with money , they can always 19 their jewelry. And , as with the Ndebele tribe , jewelry means wealth. Indian women can expect to receive jewelry as gifts for each important life event , such as birth, marriage, and becoming a mother.In ancient China , people wore jewelry not just to show wealth but also for 20 .

Over the years , teens have invented excellent things that solve problems and have changed the ways people do things.Take fourteen-year-old Eliott Sarrey for example. He invented Bot2Karot , a gardening robot that can take care of a small vegetable garden. The robot is controlled by an app on a smartphone. It helps people grow and take care of vegetables. It also saves water and energy, and makes gardening easy for people who are very busy or have difficulty getting around.Brooke Martin is an animal lover who missed her dog when she was away. So she invented iCPooch when she was just twelve years old. The iCPooch lets pet owners check on their pets from anywhere in the world using asmartphone. It also allows owners to use their smartphone cameras to video chat with their pets.Fourteen-year-old inventor Robert Saunt was tired of buying or borrowing different video-game controllers for each game console 〔操 控器 〕.So he invented a controller called Game Blox. It can be used with four of the most popular game consoles. His invention will save players a lot of money and space, and it will save 330 million kg of materials every year.Kids all over the world find ways to solve problems every day. Who knows?Maybe the next time you have aproblem , you'll come up with the next amazing idea!21. If you have no time to take care of your vegetable garden , can help you.16. A. stillB. never 17.

According to the passage, Robert Saunt .A. is an animal loverB. was tired of playing gamesC. invented a controllerD. helps with gardeningBParisian architect〔建筑〕Paul Andreu has designed so many landmark buildings in China.Among his best known are the National Grand Theatre in Beijing , the Jinan Grand Theatre and Shanghai Pudong International Airport. Andreu is nearly 80 and he continues to develop projects in China. The world famous architect, writer and painter held his first art show last summer in Beijing where he sat down for this interview.气；itEnniil； lirsriJ TTiuut rcJit Lini rjraitai Tlth训r 防闻卬犀I mem nriunjl 'ifjn 匕nHow was it that you went from architecture to writing —and more recently to painting?I have a desire to create, for continuous renewal. While I can't say that I know everything about architecture, I no longer have much to prove or discover. For me , painting is just as important , creatively , but it's something you do alone in your workshop , with a piece of paper and a pot of ink — it's totally refreshing.Why did you wait so many years to start painting?It was a kind of need. I was tired off in my field and wanted to try something new and I tried to improve this situation by writing. But writing is a very long process ——it takes at least a year to write a book. Painting is faster. Being alone with yourself during the day , in the light , and then putting yourself in a situation where you produce something of which you know nothing and for which no one has asked— it's a kind of freedom you seldom have in life.What is your project in China right now?There's a project in the Zhuhai Macao area. The Chinese engineering and building company Zhuhai Da Heng Qin asked French architect Thomas Coldefy to think about the project , suggesting that he work with an architect who's already known in China. He asked me if I'd be willing to do some of the work. We'll present the project some time before December;the planned completion date is in 2021.24. Paul Andreu has gone from architecture to painting because .A. he likes paper and inkB. he thinks painting is fasterC. he has a desire to createD. he has to prove that he is great25. Where is Paul Andreu's project in China now?A. In Beijing.B. In Jinan.C. In Shanghai Pudong.D. In the Zhuhai Macao area.26. What do you know about Paul Andreu from the passage?A. His achievements.B. His challenges.C. His worries.D. His habits.CAfter the holiday season , our guess is that you are tired from visiting the store and buying gifts. It is easy to get stuck, both spiritually and physically by having too much. This is why minimalism and living simply should be your resolution for 2021.Economic development results in a lot of consumerism〔消费〕:get a good job, get a nice car, and settle into a beautiful house. But some people say that our lives could use a little lightening these days:We work and workand work to only buy and buy and buy — but does all that material wealth really lead to our happiness?Are we filling our time with unnecessary things , when we should be filling our time with friends , value, and service?An article from the website , Becoming Minimalist , points out the problem with this cycle〔循环〕 in the best way, 'Nobody really believes happiness is directly tied to the number of things we own.Yet almost all of us live like it. We get stuck in it. We work more hours than ever before , earn more income, but save less.〞Minimalism isn't all about ridding〔摆脱〕consumerism and products from your life. Minimalism is about finding your own sense of self and focusing on the things you love. It is about creating a lifestyle that is focused on only those people and things that enrich you.These days, minimalistic living can come in many forms. We think the most practical form of minimalistic living for us is to follow our list:How You Can Live Lighter in 2021.Purge Your Closet:Take a day and clear out all of your drawers and closets. If something doesn't have special meaning or adds no value to your life ——give it away. Have only what you need and what you can see.Test Those Limits:See how long you can go without shopping. Give yourself a limit , whether it be two weeks or six months , whether it be avoiding a certain mall or buying clothes. Then put your self will to the test. After your allowed time , chances are you will realize all those extra blouses weren't worth it and you will set yourself up for future spending control.Cut the Cord:This sometimes means giving up your modern technology:TV , cell phone , computer, etc. Limit yourself to only a few hours of TV per week , or only 30 minutes of social media per day. You'll make more time for the things and people that you love and clear out some unnecessary noise from your life.Live to Your Goals:Find out what your life goals and values are. Then , see what may help you or stop you from achieving this goal. Cut out that which doesn't lead to your happiness and success and add more of what does. Remember, a pared down lifestyle doesn't mean less success or less happiness. It represents your freedom to focus on the things in life that really matter.27. The cycle 'people work and work only to buy and buy " shows.A. people get stuck physically and spirituallyB. people don't believe wealth leads to happinessC. people don't want to save moreD. people fall in love with buying28. To practise minimalistic living , you shouldA. give away your drawers and closetsB. go to the shopping mall every six monthsC. have 30 minutes of social media per dayD. discover your life goals and values29. The words “ pared down " in the last paragraph probabl y mean . 〞A. freeB. lightC. popularD. convenient30. Which of the following best explains the writer's opinion?A. It might take you a long time to wait for the “ right “ thing.B. Clear out the unnecessary so that the necessary may speak.C. Change yourself with the development of society.D. Freedom is more important than success.DA research study has looked into what happens inside your brain while you read and listen to music. You know that thrill〔兴奋〕you get when listening to your favorite music?That exciting feeling when you hear your favorite songs?According to a recent study , it seems the same thing can happen while you are reading , but not with every kind of text. This opens up interesting questions around how music, reading and emotions are connected in the brain.The study“ We decided we woulddo a comparison between four or five different kinds of texts to see how the brain reacted, “ explains Adam Zeman a scientist. " The participants 者〕lay in an MRI scanner reading the texts, and then we compared brai n activity for those five texts. xts ranged “ The te 〔涉及〕from deadly boring ones to highly exciting ones , including the Highway Code , parts from novels, and poems.So what happened in the participants brains while they were reading? Emotional reactionAs the researchers observed, participants found some texts more emotional than others. When reading these emotional texts, there was higher activity in brain areas related to pleasure and reward—the same areas related to the thrill we get when we listen to music. As Zeman says , “ it perfectly shows that the emotional reaction to literature〔文学〕and to music has quite a bit in common. So it doesn't seem to matter whether you are listening or reading if you get a thrill. That was one quite strong finding. 〞Introspection〔内省〕There were more interesting findings. Reading poetry is often considered an activity that requires us to use the brain, but did the study find any truth of this?When the participants were reading poems, the team found there was more activity in a particular group of brain areas called the Default Network. " These areas seem to be related to things we do with our minds when we are resting, like thinking about what's happened to us recently , thinking about what's going to happen in the near future, about other people, and that network seems to be more strongly related to poetry than with other texts , “ explains Zeman. This connection between poetry and introspection could be the subject of further research. ConclusionsThe study shows that the different texts activate different areas of our brains when we read. Zeman says, “ the study did support what we thought:reaction to literature was going to be a bit like the one to music in terms of emotion. We felt that we ended up with a great deal of unanswered questions which we hope somebody will conti nue to ask. 〞31. What did the research try to find out?A. How music helps us read different kinds of texts.B. What kind of texts most people like while listening to music.C. Why reading different texts causes different reactions in emotion.D. Whether reading can cause similar emotional reaction like music does. 32. What did the participants do inthe study?A. They listened to music.B. They read different texts.C. They answered many questions.D. They compared brain activities. 33. What can we learn from the study?A. The emotional texts work better for the research.B. Poetry reading can activate the Default Network.C. Music helps to bring pleasure and reward.D. People think about the past when resting.四？阅读短文,根据短文内容答复以下问题？〔共10分,每题2分〕Mom's Recipe for LifeI have a lot of Mom's recipes in a blue box where all my special ones were put , like the pumpkin pie she made during my growing up years. Even so , the recipe I treasure most is not on any index card , nor did she send it to me in a letter. Instead , she lived this recipe all of her life.My mother grew up in a small coal mining town in southwest Iowa. My grandfather once told me that she knew no stranger;she considered everyone in that community her friend. That attitude continued wherever she lived for the rest of her life.As a teen, I was embarrassed尴尬的〕every time my mother talked to strangers and offered a smile to everyone in the store or on the city bus. Almost all of them responded〔回应〕with a bright smile of their own. Some spoke , others nodded their heads at this elderly woman who brought a little light into their day.What really sold me on Mom's approach to life was her experience on the senior bus. The weeks I could not be there , she used this low cost transportation to the grocery store. After her first trip , I asked her how it went."Ha! " she said' I got on that bus and what did I see?Thirteen little old ladies and one old man, and not one word was spoken. 〞I wondered how long it would be until the silence on that bus would change. On my next visit , Mom mentioned the 13 little old ladies on the bus and something one of them had told her.“Oh are you talking with them now?〞 I asked.“Of course " she said. " One day I climbed up the steps of t he 〔bibefoire I looked for a seat, I gave them a big smile and I said , ' Isn't it a wonderful day? I noticed a few shy smiles. 〞Mom didn't give up. She greeted them all each time she got on the bus and before long , thewhole group was laughing and talking to one another. The bus became more than just transportation.When we went to the various stores , I watched as she smiled and chatted with perfect strangers. Some of them looked like the poorest person you'd ever met , but once Mom smiled at them and started a conversation, most responded favorably. My mother didn't embarrass me any longer. I found myself admiring her.She's been gone for ten years but I've carried on her recipe for life. It was me who had done the smiling first and all those people had responded. My mother didn't lecture but taught me by example. She'd given me a recipe for life.34. Where did the writer's mom grow up?35. Did the people talk on the bus on Mom's first trip?36. What did Mom do to make the bus more than transportation?37. How did the writer feel about Mom in the end?38.

This book is special because I worked with a close foreign friend to translate some Chinese poems into English , which was very challenging. In order to make them better accepted andeasier to understand, we collected lots of materials from the library and the Internet. It took me and my friend one year to translate them.During the process of translating the poems and working with my friend , I learned a lot about the world around me and really got in touch with my soul. Furthermore , I think my English is better than it used to be. Most importantly , I learned the value of teamwork. My friend and I were determined to finish this huge task and that's exactly what we did. I feel so proud of my achievement and I hope I can publish my book soon. 书面表达评分标准第一档：〔10 ~ 9分〕完全符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全？句式多样,词汇丰富？语言准确, 语意连贯, 表达清楚,具有逻辑性？第二档：〔8 ~ 6分〕根本符合题目要求,观点正确,要点齐全W法结构和词汇根本满足文章需要？语言根本通顺,语意根本连贯,表达根本清楚？虽然有少量语言错误,但不影响整体理解？第三档：〔5 ~ 3分〕局部内容符合题目要求,要点不齐全W法结构和词汇错误较多,语言不通顺,表达不够清楚,影响整体理解？第四档：〔2 ~ 0分〕与题目有关内容不多,只是简单拼凑提示词语,所写内容难以理解？。
