Practise English in Different WaysBPet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work ,a move scientists say can begood for productivity , workplace morale (士气), and the well-being of animals .A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet . Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets . “On the pets’ side , they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said .A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的) , while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington . “My customers love them. They are their favorites ,” she said . “They are not troublesome . They know when to go and h ave a sleep in the sun .”Little black BJ has spent nearly all his two years “working” at Punch Gallery in Balmain . Owner Iain Powell saidhe had had cats at the gallery for 15 years . “BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap on th e glass ,” he said .Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries because they enabled a point of conversation .

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying —holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems andsome other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).53. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not --ant her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. Tie author doesn’t give the explanation.54. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.55. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to Keep HealthyC. Why We CryD.

Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart!The earthquake occurred at night. We just felt the earth shook fiercely and it rose and fell sharply. Thousands of people came out of their house to find shelters! The walls of many buildings cracked and collapsed! When the earthquake was at an end, it ruined all the fortunes of the town, cutting off the supply of water and electricity! A great number of people got injured; some even were buried under the ruins! Luckily, the government called in the army and organized a lots of people to rescue the people, they sent the injured to hospital and dug out the buried, sending them to hospital too.Though the disaster causes huge damage, but after a storm comes a calm, everything here is now returning to normal, the government are preparing something to predict earthquake. By the way, I am rewarded with the honor of Brave Citizen for having helped the injured people to hospital I am excited though I wasfresh at that!How are you going? Hope to hear from you again!May everything of you go well!BThe earthquake that happened in Tangshan on July 28,1976 was recorded the greatest earthquake in the 20th century. The power of the quake was so great that two-thirds of the nation felt it and it produced an eight-kilometer-long and thirty-meter-wide crack that ran across the city, destroying everything in its course. Within fifteen minutes, the city fell into ruins. Steam could be seen rising from holes in the ground; fires were burning here and there and buildings lay in pieces. All the city’s hospitals, seventy percent of its factories and buildings and ninety percent of its homes were ruined, railways and bridges went out of use and the livestock suffered heavy losses. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. Many wives became widowers, husbands became bachelors and children became orphans. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters that we humans ever experienced. Earthquakes can’t be prevented or stopped but it can bepredicted. People can tell the coming of an earthquake, especially big ones, 16 through scientific equipment or by careful observation. As was the case in Tangshan, just three days before the earthquake, there were already signs that something was about to happen. The water in the village wells rose and fell for no obvious reasons and there were cracks in the walls of the village wells, out of which came smelly gases. Chickens, ducks and even pigs were too nervous to eat; fish jumped out of ponds; mice which usually stayed hidden in the fields ran out to look for places to hide. People at that time didn’t take these signs seriously just because they didn’t know what they really meant.It is very important to educate people to be careful observers. It not only helps people to make discoveries, but also save lives sometimes.VI．书面表达 (满分25分)北京市将举办主题为“Protecting Mother Earth”的中学生英语作文竞赛。

AA jobless man applied for the position of “office boy” at Microsoft. The HR manager interviewed him and then watched him cleaning the floor as a test.“You are employed，” he said. “Give me your e­mail address and I'll send you the application to fill in, as well as date when you may start.”The man replied, “But I don't have a computer, neither an e­mail.”“I'm sorry，” said the HR manager. “If you don't have an e­mail, that means you do not exist. And who doesn't exist cannot have the job.”The man left with no hope at all. He didn't know what to do, with only ten dollars in his pocket. He then decided to go to the supermarket and buy 10 kg tomatoes. He then sold the tomatoes from door to door. In less than two hours, he succeeded to double his capital. He repeated the operation three times, and returned home happily with 60 dollars.The man realized that he can survive in this way, and started to go every day earlier, and return late. Thus, his money doubled or tripled every day. Shortly, he bought a cart, then a truck, and then he had his own fleet of delivery vehicles. Five years later, the man is one of the biggest food retailers in the US.He started to plan his family's future and decided to have a life insurance. He called an insurance broker and chose a protection plan.When the conversation was concluded, the broker asked him his e­mail. The man replied, “I don't have an e­mail.”The broker answered cur iously, “You don't have an e­mail, and yet have succeeded to build an empire. Can you imagine what you could have been if you had an e­mail？” The man thought for a while and replied, “Yes, I'd be an office boy at Microsoft！”语篇解读：本文讲述了一个男子因为没有邮箱而没有获得工作。

The mountain bikers from an international biking group sure have! Reporter Ricky caught up with three of them ― 18yearold Michael Castellanos, 13yearold Gerardo Mendez, and 16yearold Jackie Luevano ― to learn about their experiences with the group. Ricky：How often do you ride your bikes? Michael：Every day after school. But I ride on the weekend, too. Gerardo：I use my bike to get to and from school and to get to my afterschool program. I don't like to ride my bike if it's snowing, though! Jackie：I only ride my bike in the summer, but when I do, I like to ride three times per week. Ricky：What's the difference between riding in the city and in the mountains? Michael：You have to follow more rules and laws when you ride your bike in the city. In the mountains there are laws but not as many. Jackie：It's harder riding in the mountains, but it's quieter. The hardest part is learning to use your gears (挡). I was used to riding a city bike that doesn't have gears and then when I started to ride in the mountains I had to learn that gears make it easier to ride. Ricky：What is the best part of the mountainrides? Jackie：My favorite thing is getting a break from being indoors. After being inside all day, it's nice to enjoy the clean air and feel the wind. Gerardo：Our group is usually really loud, but when we ride in the mountains, we are quieter and we can hear the birds and the water. 31．Who goes to school by bike? A．Jackie. B．Michael. C．Ricky.

A．different kinds of riding B．an international biking group C．the skills of riding in the mountains D．an interview with three mountain bikers B There's a street in Harlem that comes alive every Saturday with the sound of gospel (福音)music. You won't tind any church there ― just a simple stone h ouse full of teenagers and the woman who draws them in. Her name is Vy Higginsen, a New York theater producer. Five years ago she created something called“Gospel for Teens”． If you're thinking that Higginsen thought up this program as a way to save the teens, you'd be wrong. She did it to save the music. The faces and voices of Gospel for Teens include kids between the ages of 13 and 19 who gather in Harlem each week from all over New York and New Jersey to study the tradition and the art of singing gospel. Higginsen runs an advanced (高级的) class, but each fall she brings in a new group, putting out a call for auditions (试音) in local papers, on radio, and in churches. She calls themher“beginners”． Yolanda Howard, age 14, had arrived by subway from the Bronx very early.“I was so happy because I was the first person，” she said. And she brought along her friendRhonda Rodriguez. Asked if she was nervous, Rodriguez told Lesley Stahl, a reporter，“I was really nervous.” “Did they really have to be great in the audition？” Stahl asked Higginsen. “No，”she replied.“We_don't_expect_them_to_be_great.They're teenagers.” One girl who auditioned only knew little about music. “That's why we have this school！” said Higginsen. So she and the teachers she calls music masters ― including her own daughter Knoelle ― want to accept as many kids as they can. And that next Saturday, there they were: the 46 kids Higginsen chose as her new beginners, including Yolanda Howard and her friend Rhonda Rodriguez, who thought she wouldn't get in, but Higginsen had decided to give her a chance. 35．Which of the following is the best title for the text? A．You don't need to know everything! B．Give nervous kids a chance! C．Go to the audition! D．Save the music! 36．Gospel for Teens was founded to________. A．help kids behave themselves B．raise money to build a church C．teach the tradition and the art of gospel music D．offer kids a chance to meet some new friends 37．Who was nervous during the audition? A．Lesley Stahl. B．Yolanda Howard. C．Rhonda Rodriguez. D．Knoelle. 38．By saying “We don't expect them to be great”，Vy Higginsen means________. A．few teenagers know how to sing gospel music B．she helps teenagers to develop their musical talent C．great teenagers can take advanced classes without auditions D．teenagers are always too nervous to show their talent in the auditions C Everybody hates rats. But in the earthquake capitals of the world ― Japan, Los Angeles, Turkey ― rats will soon be man's new best friends. What happens after an earthquake? We send in rescue dogs. Why? Because they can smell people. Dogs save lives. They help rescuers to find living people. But dogs are big and they can't get into smallspaces.So now a new research project is using a smaller animal to save lives: the rat. How does it work? First, the rat is trained to smell people. When this happens, the rat's brain gives a signal(信号). This is sent to a small radio on its back, and then the rescuers follow the radio signals. When the rat's brain activity jumps, the rescuers know that someone is alive. The rat has smelled that person. Although there are already robots which can do this job, rats are better. Christian Linster at Cornell University, New York, says，“Robots' noses don't work well when there are other smells around. Rats are good at that.” Rats can also see in the dark. They are cheaper and quicker to train than dogs, and unlike robots, they don't need electricity! The “rat project” is not finished, but Julie Ryan of International Rescue Corps in Scotland says，“It would be fantastic. A rat could get into spaces we couldn't get to, and a rat would get out if it wasn't safe.”Perhaps for the first time in history, people will be happy to see a rat in a building (but only after an earthquake, of course.) 39．From the third paragraph we know the rescuers can judge a person is alive by________. A．the noise made by the rat B．the rat's unusual behaviour C．the signal sent by the radio on the rat's back D．the smell given off by the person 40．In doing rescue jobs，________. A．rats smell better than dogs B．dogs don't need to be trained to smell people C．robots' sense of smell can be affected by other smells around D．rats can see in the dark and are smaller than robots 41．Rats have all the following advantages EXCEPT that________. A．they are more fantastic than other animals B．they are less expensive to train than dogs C．they don't need electricity D．they are small and can get into small places 42．After reading the passage we know________. A．at present rats have taken the place of dogs in searching for peopleB．the“rat project” has been completed C．people are now happy to see a rat in a building D．now people still use dogs and robots in performing rescues D Most people prefer to stay indoors during a snowstorm, but Kenneth Libbrecht is not most people. When snow starts falling down from the winter sky, the scientist's work begins. Taking a magnifying glass(放大镜), a paintbrush, and a camera with him, he heads out into the cold. Outside, Libbrecht waits for snowflakes(雪花)that are just right. Sometimes he waits for hours. Finally, he sees the snowflakes he's been waiting for. As the snowflakes fall, Libbrecht carefully catches them on his paintbrush. Then he points his camera and shoots. The scientist's shiny pictures recently earned him a prize, which is given to top science photographers around the world. Libbrecht takes pictures of snowflakes to learn more about their shapes. The snowflakes form when water steam(水蒸气) in a cloud freezes. Every snowflake grows into a hexagon. That is a sixsided shape. However, no two snowflakes look the same. Experts are not sure why. To find the answer, Libbrecht has traveled to snowy places around the world. He has taken pictures of snowflakes in Canada, Alaska, and Vermont. The work takes patience, Libbrecht explained.“It doesn't snow all the time, and when it does, the snowflakes aren't always good，” he said. Once he's collected enough pictures, he returns to his science lab in California to do research. Since developing his interest in snowflakes, Libbrecht has collected nearly 10,000 snowflake pictures. He will spend most of this winter studying them. The scientist's outdoor work is far from over, though. Libbrecht plans to one day go to other snowy places to take more photos. “I really enjoy watching the snow fall and trying to see what I can find，” he said.“There is a lot of fun.” Kenneth Libbrecht also gavesome good advice to kids who want to study snowflakes. “You don't need a lot of things. With a simple magnifying glass on a snowy day, you can really see quite a bit if you just stop and look.” 43．Kenneth Libbrecht is different from most people in that________. A．he likes to take pictures B．he likes to research snow C．he doesn't like warm weather D．he doesn't like life indoors 44．Paragraph 2 is mainly about________. A．how snow forms B．what snowflakes look like C．how Libbrecht takes pictures of snow D．what Libbrecht plans to do next 45．Why does Libbrecht take pictures of snowflakes? A．To study their shapes. B．To enjoy the snow. C．To find pleasure. D．To win a prize. 46．Libbrecht advised kids who want to study snowflakesto________. A．watch carefully B．buy a good camera C．be patient D．spend much time E A little knowledge about earthquakes can increase your chance of surviving. The keys are education and preparing in advance(提前).

Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets . “On the pets’ side , they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely and unhappy,” she said . A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的) , while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington . “My customers love them.

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laugh turned into crying.. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, andcrying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering —can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It'sa natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).53. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not --ant her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C.

Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart!The earthquake occurred at night. We just felt the earth shook fiercely and it rose and fell sharply. Thousands of people came out of their house to find shelters! The walls of many buildings cracked and collapsed! When the earthquake was at an end, it ruined all the fortunes of the town, cutting off the supply of water and electricity! A great number of people got injured; some even were buried under the ruins! Luckily, the government called in the army and organized a lots of people to rescue the people, they sent the injured to hospital and dug out the buried, sending them to hospital too.Though the disaster causes huge damage, but after a storm comes a calm, everything here is now returning to normal, the government are preparing something to predict earthquake. By the way, I am rewarded with the honor of Brave Citizen for having helped the injured people to hospital I am excited though I was fresh at that!How are you going? Hope to hear from you again!May everything of you go well!BThe earthquake that happened in Tangshan on July 28,1976 was recorded the greatest earthquake in the 20th century. The power of the quake was so great that two-thirds of the nation felt it and it produced an eight-kilometer-long and thirty-meter-wide crack that ran across the city, destroying everything in its course. Within fifteen minutes, the city fell into ruins. Steam could be seen rising from holes in the ground; fires were burning here and there and buildings lay in pieces. All the city’s hospitals, seventy percent of its factories and buildings and ninety percent of its homes were ruined, railways and bridges went out of use and the livestock suffered heavy losses. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. Many wives became widowers, husbands became bachelors and children became orphans. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters that we humans ever experienced.Earthquakes can’t be prevented or stopped but it can be predicted. People can tell the coming of an earthquake, especially big ones, 16 through scientific equipment or by careful observation. As was the case in Tangshan, just three days before the earthquake, there were already signs that something was about to happen. The water in the village wells rose and fell for no obvious reasons and there were cracks in the walls of the village wells, out of which came smelly gases. Chickens, ducks and even pigs were too nervous to eat; fish jumped out of ponds; mice which usually stayed hidden in the fields ran out to look for places to hide.

Learn Different Kinds a/EnglishD. Practise English in Different WaysBPet owners are being encouraged to take their animals to work , a move scientists say can begood for productivity , workplace morale (士气), and the well-being of animals .A study found that 25% of Australian women would like to keep an office pet . Sue Chaseling of Petcare Information Service said the practice of keeping office pets was good both for the people and the pets . “On the pets’ side , they are not left on their own and won’t feel lonely andunhappy,” she said . A study of major US companies showed that 73% found office pets beneficial (有益的) , while 27% experienced a drop in absenteeism (缺勤).Xarni Riggs has two cats walking around her Global Hair Salon in Paddington . “My customers love them. They are their favorites ,” she said . “They are not troublesome . They know when to go and h ave a sleep in the sun .”Little black BJ has spent nearly all his two years “working” at Punch Gallery in Balmain . Owner Iain Powell said he had had cats at the gallery for 15 years . “BJ often lies in the shop window and people walking past tap on th e glass ,” he said .Ms Chaseling said cats were popular in service industries because they enabled a point of conversation .

But that night when my dad tried to cheer me up, my laughturned into crying.. So it came as no surprise to learn that researchers believe crying and laughing come from the same part of the brain. Just as laughing has many health advantages, scientists are discovering that so, too, does crying.Whatever it takes for us to reduce pressure is important to our emotional (情感的) health, and crying seems to study found that 85 percent of women and 73 percent of men report feeling better after crying.Besides, tears attract help from other people. Researchers agree that when we cry, people around us become kinder and friendly and they are more ready to provide support and comfort. Tears also enable us to understand our emotions better; sometimes we don't even know we' re very sad until we cry. We learn about our emotions through Crying, and then we can deal with them.Just as crying can be healthy, not crying — holding back tears of anger, pain or suffering — can be bad for physical (身体的) health, Studies have shown that too much control of emotions can lead to high blood pressure, heart problems and some other illnesses. If you have a health problem, doctors will certainly not ask you to cry. But when you feel like crying, don't fight it. It's a natural — and healthy — emotional response (反应).53. Why didn't the author cry when her grandmother died?A. Because her father did not --ant her to feel too sad.B. Because she did not love her grandmother.C. Because she was too shy to cry at that time.D. Tie author doesn’t give the explanation.54. According to the author, which of the following statements is true?A. Crying is the best way to get help from others.B. Fighting back tears may cause some health problems.C. We will never know our deep feelings unless we cry.D. We must cry if we want to reduce pressure.55. What might be the most suitable title for the text?A. Power of TearsB. How to KeepHealthyC. Why We CryD.

Thank you from the deepest bottom of my heart! The earthquake occurred at night. We just felt the earth shook fiercely and it rose and fell sharply. Thousands of people came out of their house to find shelters! The walls of many buildings cracked and collapsed! When the earthquake was at an end, it ruined all the fortunes of the town, cutting off the supply of water and electricity! A great number of people got injured; some even were buried under the ruins! Luckily, the government called in the army and organized a lots of people to rescue the people, they sent the injured to hospital and dug out the buried, sending them to hospital too.Though the disaster causes huge damage, but after a storm comes a calm, everything here is now returning to normal, the government are preparing something to predict earthquake. By the way, I am rewarded with the honor of Brave Citizen for having helped the injured people to hospital I am excited though I was fresh at that!How are you going? Hope to hear from you again!May everything of you go well!BThe earthquake that happened in Tangshan on July 28,1976 was recorded the greatest earthquake in the 20th century. The power of the quake wasso great that two-thirds of the nation felt it and it produced an eight-kilometer-long and thirty-meter-wide crack that ran across the city, destroying everything in its course. Within fifteen minutes, the city fell into ruins. Steam could be seen rising from holes in the ground; fires were burning here and there and buildings lay in pieces. All the city’s hospitals, seventy percent of its factories and buildings and ninety percent of its homes were ruined, railways and bridges went out of use and the livestock suffered heavy losses. The number of people who were killed or injured reached more than 400,000. Many wives became widowers, husbands became bachelors and children became orphans. It was one of the most destructive natural disasters that we humans ever experienced. Earthquakes can’t be prevented or stopped but it can be predicted. People can tell the coming of an earthquake, especially big ones, 16 through scientific equipment or by careful observation. As was the case in Tangshan, just three days before the earthquake, there were already signs that something was about to happen. The water in the village wells rose and fell for no obvious reasons and there were cracks in the walls of the village wells, out of which came smelly gases. Chickens, ducks and even pigs were too nervous to eat; fish jumped out of ponds; mice which usually stayed hidden in the fields ran out to look for places to hide. People at that time didn’t take these signs seriously just because they didn’t know what they really meant.It is very important to educate people to be careful observers. It not only helps people to make discoveries, but also save lives sometimes.VI．书面表达 (满分25分)北京市将举办主题为“Protecting Mother Earth”的中学生英语作文竞赛。
