朝阳（感动）We often have moving experiences in our daily life. They help us walk along the right road.I still remember that day. I was taking the final exam when I found I didn’t have my eraser with me. I was so worried that I almost cried. Just then, Mike, a boy next to me, understood what was happening. He quickly cut his eraser in half and handed me one part. With tears in my eyes, I finished the exam.I was deeply moved by what Mike did. He is a real friend. He cares others a lot. I want to learn from him to be the person in need.（109）通州（环保）As a student, I care about our environment very much.I think the most serious problem today is air pollution. Both the government and ourselves should take actions to improve it.Firstly, we should drive cars less. Cars produce lots of gases and they make the air worse. We can ride a bike or take the bus instead. Secondly, we should plant more trees. Trees can help to make our air clean. Thirdly, we should try to use new energy. Coal and oil should be used as little as possible.Fresh air is important to everyone. So it’s everyone’s duty to protect the environment.（104）海淀（感恩）There’s no doubt that parents have given me a lot since I was born. With their care, I grow up happily. So I think it is necessary to do something special for them to show my gratitude.Both of my parents love music. So it would be a great idea to buy a wonderful CD for them. Last Sunday, I went to a bookstore and chose one among the top 10. While we were having dinner together, I played the CD. It was beautiful. With great joy, they gave me a warm hug and a big smile. I felt very sweet.I was really proud that I did something for my parents. Their smiles were the best encouragement for me. I made up my mind to do things like this more often. （132）西城（赞美的力量）Praise is like sunlight to our spirit. It gives us confidence and hope. However, this heavenly gift usually shows up unexpectedly.In junior high, it seemed fashion was never my cup of tea, for I had neither a lovely face nor an attractive figure. I found it boring and even heart-breaking to go shopping.The time came when we had to dress up for the prom. Unwillingly, I joined my friends on the trip to Macy’s. Unsurely, I tried on a bright violet flowered dress and stepped out of the dressing room. A good-looking lady was standing there. She glanced at me, smiled and said, “I love your dress.” She had no idea how much her praise meant to me. These magic words touched my heart and I started to love my imperfect appearance.I appreciated that stranger’s words of praise, which are not often heard. Now I keep reminding myself of the power of praise, even strangers, because we never know where it might lead. (166)东城（压岁钱）The Spring Festival is the most important festival in China. Giving lucky money to children is a custom.I get lucky money every year. I put most of it in the bank, and spend the rest on some books.This year, I also got lucky money. With it, I bought some school things for several poor students in Ningxia.For you, I think it’s a good idea to buy a gift with the lucky money for your host family before you leave China. You can also buy some Chinese gifts for your parents and friends in England. Or, just keep it as good memories.（104）朝阳二模（生日聚会建议）Hi! Tom,I’m glad to hear from you. Yes, I sometimes have the same problem.I think you’d better go to Peter’s birthday party since he is your close friend. You can choose to play other games such as chess if you don’t like playing computer games. You don’t need to worry too much about the science report. You can finish it on Sunday. I’m sure you can manage it. But if you do n’t go to the party, I’m afraid you may lose the friend.Although it’s true that sometimes people’s needs are different, remember friends can always stand beside you. We must understand and care each other.I hope what I said can help you.来北京提的建议Dear Tony,I’m glad to know you are coming to Beijing. I can give you some advice about traveling in Beijing. Beijing is not only a beautiful city but also the capital of China. There are many famous places of interest, such as the Great Wall, Tian’an Men Square and so on.F irst of all, it’s a good idea to walk up to the Great Wall because it’s famous in the world. What’s more, the best I can suggest is that you can taste Beijing roast duck. It’s so delicious. Last but not least,you’d better go to visit Tian’an Men Square because it is one of the biggest squares in the world. Beijing is not only a big city but also an interesting place. Everyone in Beijing is both friendly and kind.All in all, follow what I said, I think you will have a perfect holiday.If you have more questions, please ask me．。

回答问题宝山区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷George Washington Carver was a scientist who helped farmers learn how to grow new crops and take better care of the soil. He studied many different plants and crops, but some of his favourites were peanuts, sweet potatoes and pecans（美洲山核桃）.We don’t know exactly when George Washington Carver was born, but it was probably sometime in the 1860s. His mother was a slave（奴隶）owned by a farmer in Missouri（密苏里州）named Moses Carver. Young George Carver was fascinated by plants and flowers. He tended（照料）his own little garden. People began to see what a gift （天赋）he had for growing things. They called him the “the plant doctor” and asked him to help them grow their gardens better.George longed to go to school. But in those days most schools only taught white children. So, George had to move to a town eight miles away to attend a school for black children. At that time, some people wrongly believed that a black child should not get any education.His determination carried him all the way through college. In 1894, George Washington Carver graduated from Iowa State University. Soon he was invited to teach at Tuskegee Institute in Alabama, a college created especially for African-American students. It was just what Carver wanted: a place where he could study plants and agriculture, and help educate other black men and women.Carver wanted to help farmers in the South. They had been raising cotton for many years，and the crops weren't growing strong and healthy any more. Carver said they needed to improve the soil by growing other crops, like peanuts. People laughed and called peanuts monkey food. Nobody ate peanuts then. One evening a group of important people came to dinner at Tuskegee. George Washington Carver planned the menu. What do you think he served? Peanut soup, peanut bread, creamed peanuts, peanut cookies and peanut ice cream for dessert(甜点)！In his laboratory Carver learned how peanuts could be used to make shoe polish(鞋油)，ink, oil, shampoo(洗发精), soap(肥皂)，and shaving cream (剃须膏). Altogether, Carver discovered over three hundred ways to use the peanut. People started calling him “the Wizard (奇才）of Tuskegee”.93.What did George Washington Carver help farmers do?___________________________________________________________.94.People don’t know the exact birthday of George Washington Carver, do they?____________________________________________________________.95.Why did he study at a school far away?____________________________________________________________.96.How could the farmers in the South improve their soil?____________________________________________________________.97.How many things could peanuts be used to make in Carver’s laboratory?____________________________________________________________.98.Why did Carver serve some important guests with a lot of peanut food?长宁区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷HITTING the water with almost superman’s love and strength, Sun Yang has made history after his excellent performance at the London Olympic Games.The 20-year-old Sun became the first Chinese man to win gold in swimming. He took home four medals in total, two golds, one silver and one bronze.Sun said his success was down to hard work. For years he has made it a rule to swim 20km every day. “When I trained in Australia, it was winter. Although the weather was cold and I was tired, I started training at 4:30am,” he said. The post-1990 athlete is popular not only because of his victory in London, but also his sportsmanship.Nicknamed “Sun Mengmeng” online, which in Chinese refers to his innocent appearance and charming personality, Sun has gained more than 10 million followers on Sina Weibo. His first message about his trip back to his hometown, Hangzhou, after the Olympics, received thousands of responses. “The high-speed train on my way home has been blocked for three hours due to Typhoon Haikui,” it said. “Is it possible for me to arrive home tonight?” Some Weibo users even visited his page to give funny replies, such as, “Why not swim home?”Sun may dream of matching his idol, American Michael Phelps, who has won 22 Olympic medals. But as a third-year student in Zhejiang University, he says he has a long way to go.“Sun works hard in class. His diligence shows the choices o f a new generation of Chinese athletes, who are making more time for their education and not just focusing on sport,” said his professor, Zheng Fang.93.

There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met , yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading.After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything seen through the dirty window was unclear. I would say to myself, “I wonder why that woman doesn’t wash her wi ndow. It really looks terrible.”One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside.Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning, I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest. What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible (看得见的). Her window was clean!Then I realized that I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window, but all the time I was watching her window through my own dirty window.That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcoming?Since then, whenever I want to judge someone, I will ask myself first, “Am I looking at him through my own dirty window?”Then I try to clean the window of my own world so that I may see the world about me more clearly.93.

But we can also work outRule No. 1: Justice (正义) is most important.No matter how smart he or she is, the most important quality for a detective is being good. Inthe movie, Lord Blackwood and Sherlock Holmes are both very intelligent. The difference is thatLord Blackwood is a bad man and he does bad things. Holmes can beat him on the side of justice.Rule No. 2 Have sharp eyesEvery bad man tries to cover up what he did. But not all things can be covered up easily. Agood detective can discover clues hidden at crime scenes with sharp eyes. For example, Holmescan simply look at a man’s footprints and quickly find out his personal information like age and habits.Rule No. 3: A good assistant is a great help.Even though Holmes has knowledge about many subjects , such as chemistry, botany(植物学) and anatomy, he still needs Dr Watson’s help to fight with him. We should also have someoneto help you, especially if you don’t know as much as Holmes.Rule No. 4: Logic (逻辑) is the key.A good detective never jumps to conclusions. When all the necessary clues are put together,you’d better think carefully. If you can’t work it out, don’t be afraid. Just take a deep breath and concentrate on thinking. Logic can help you discover missing clues.93. Who created “the most famous detective in the world”-Sherlock Holmes?__________________________________________________________________________94.

Venice was a city of beautiful buildings and water canals(运河). Many businessmen did business in Venice. Marco Polo’s father and uncle were businessmen. They had traveled to a far-off country called Cathay. (Cathay is now called China.) There they had friends with the great ruler, Kublai Khan(忽必烈). He i 87 them to return to Cathay.When Marco Polo was seventeen years old, he began a journey to China with his father and uncle. They sailed the Indian Ocean and crossed the desert and mountains of Asia on camels. The journey to China took three years.Kublai Khan greeted the Polos and sent them lots of gifts. He was especially impressed (留印象) with Marco, who could speak four l 88 including Chinese and others.Khan sent Marco on many trips t 89 China. On these trips, Marco saw many amazing things that he had never seen in Europe, such as coal used as fuel, paper moneyi 90of coins, and papermaking and printing processes. Marco made many notes about life in China.After almost twenty years in China, the Polos began their journey home to Italy. Kublai Khan gave them many gifts of ivory, silk, jewels, and jade.When they returned to Venice, they found their city at war. Marco Polo was put in prison.

Perhaps this will be true one day, b ut if the world had no schools, I couldn’t imagine how our society would be.In fact, we should learn how to use new technology to make schools b 87 . We should invent a new kind of school that is l 88 to libraries, museums, science centers, labs and even companies. Companies should create learning programs for schools. Scientists could give talks t 89 the Internet. TV networks and local TV stations could develop programs about the students who are studying at school. Labs could set up websites to show new technology so that students could see it on the Internet.Is this a d 90 ? No. This is beginning to happen in many cities. In those cities, learning can take place at home, at school and in the office. Businesses provide programs for schools and society.

Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 41 from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 42 for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as often 43 to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 44and ill health.The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive (远古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death. The 47 we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it 48 the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health becomes 49 . Since we can’t remove stress from our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.A. advanceB. similarC. destructionD. ceaseE. increaseF. definedG. approachesH. miserableI. populatedJ. shiftsPeople rarely feel as helpless as they do when attacked by the threat of severe storms. There is nothing that can prevent a hurricane (飓风) or tornado from causing destruction if it reaches a 41 area. History offers numerous examples of storms that have destroyed large numbers of homes and killed many people. But today things are not as 42 as they were in the past. By studying the conditions that cause storms, weather forecasters are better able to predict them and give people in their paths the warning needed in 43 to keep away from tragedy.A storm is 44 as a sudden, extreme change in the normal conditions of Earth’s atmosphere. Examples include a large flood of moisture(湿气) or a sharp increase in wind speed. These types of 45 are generally caused by a dramatic change in air pressure. In fact, air pressure often affects weather more than anyother factors.Hurricanes are somewhat 46 to tornadoes because both produce atmospheric vortices. Vortices are cone-shaped depression(低气压) of high-speed winds that can cause a large lot of 47 if they touch the ground. When a storm 48 shore, it brings not only fierce winds but also large amounts of ocean water. Storms require moisture to exist, so they quickly 49 over land. As the storm dies, it creates large thunderclouds that can cause heavy rain, thunder, lightning, and flooding. Tornadoes can also form from the breakup of storms and are often one of their most dangerous consequences.A. complicatedB. seldomC. aimedD. dangerousE. changeF. relativeG. simpleH. qualityI.inexperiencedJ. ignoreThere are more than almost two million cars on the streets of Shanghai. That’s not a big number _41_ to the city’s population of 23 million, but everyone agrees that traffic is a big problem here. And many people would argue that it’s not the number of cars on the road, but the _42_ of the drivers that is the main cause of concern.According to one survey, 37% of Shanghai drivers have less than three years of driving experience. Many of these drivers are middle-aged and have never operated machinery more _43_ than a washing machine. On the road, they drive fast when they should drive slow, _44_ use turn signals, and make right turns on red lights without stopping first. And in the past year, there have been several incidents that resulted in pedestrian deaths when _45_ drivers mistook the gas pedal for the brake (刹车)pedal.There are new regulations _46_ at making it more difficult for people to get a driver’s license, but that is only a partial solution to Shanghai’s traffic problems. What is really needed is a _47_ in drivers’ attitudes. There seems to be a lack of concern for safety on the part of drivers: their own safety and the safety of others. You can see this every day as drivers change lanes aggressively and _48_ pedestrians at crosswalks and intersections.A car is a great convenience, but it can also be a _49_ weapon. Drivers will have to realize that before Shanghai’s streets can become truly safe.A. inappropriateB. questionC. inexperiencedD. changesE. trendsF. job-relatedG. assessH.dissatisfactionI.professionJ. occursNursing, as a typically female profession, must deal constantly with the false impression that nurses are there to wait on the position. As nurses, we are licensed to provide nursing care only. We do not have any legal or moral obligation to any physician. We provide health teaching, __41__ physical as well as emotional problems, coordinate patient-related services and make all of our nursing decisions based upon what is best or suitable for the patient. If, in any circumstance, we feel that the physician’s order is __42__ or unsafe, we have a legal responsibility to __43__that order or refuse to carry it out. Nursing is not a nine-to-five job with every weekend off. All nurses are aware of that before they enter the __44__. The emotional and physical stress, however, which __45__ due to hard working hours is a prime reason for a lot of the career __46__. It is sometimes required that we work overtime and that we change shifts four or five times a month. That disturbs our personal lives, disrupts our sleeping and eating habits, and isolates us from everything except __47__ friends and activities. The quality of nursing care is being affected dramatically by these situations. Most hospitals are now staffed by new graduates as experienced nurses finally give up trying to change the system. Consumers of medically-related services have evidently not been affected enough yet to demand __48__ in our medical system. But if __49__ continue as predicted, they will find that most critical hospital care will be provided by new, inexperienced and sometimes inadequately-trained nurses.A. energeticB. tryingC. establishedD. releasedE. originatedF. consumeG. enjoyingH. fashionableI. produceJ. discoveredSome people cannot imagine starting the day without a cup of coffee. From the most __41__ cafes of Paris to the breakfast stands lining the streets of Taipei, coffee has firmly __42__ itself as one of the world’s favourite beverages. For such a well-loved drink, however, few people are aware of its curious origins.As a legend goes, coffee berries were first __43__ in 850 by an Ethiopian goat herder who noticed his goats were much livelier after having eaten the red berries of a local bush. After __44__ the berries himself, the goat herder felt much more __45__ than usual. The news about the wonderful berry was __46__ quickly, and soon monks were looking on it as an elixir（仙丹妙药）and eating it to help stay awake during evening prayers.Although coffee __47__ on the plateaus of Ethiopia, it was the Arabs who first cultivated it around 1100. They were also the first people to roast it and boil it. By 1475, people in Constantinople were __48__ a cup of coffee in the world’s firstcoffee shop. Coffee spread to Europe around 1600 and to the New World seven years later.These days, it seems you can get a cup of coffee just about everywhere you go. Every year, coffee lovers __49__ more than 400 billion cups of coffee and make it one of the world’s biggest commodities—second only to oil.A. basedB. scheduleC. individualD. determinedE. achievingF. ambitiousG. successH. studyingI. marvelJ. smarterThe Secret of SuccessThe secret of success is that there is no secret. Some people succeed because they are just __41__ than other people. Some people succeed because they just work harder than other people. And some people succeed because they are just plain lucky.Ma Donghan is a student at Tsinghua University who is __42__ to be successful and she’s not going to leave it to luck.Ma is obviously smart because she’s a student at the best university in China, but her plan for success is __43__ on the old fashion value of hard work. You can see that by the weekly schedule she’s set up for herself which was recently posted online.Every hour of every day is accounted for. There is her classroom __44__, of course, but then blocks of time are set aside for __45__ each subject and also for a few activities like playing sports. There are no hours set aside for just relaxing and there are only five hours allotted (分配) each night for sleeping. She has set a very __46__, almost punishing schedule for herself, but it seems to be working.Other students __47__ at Ma’s diligence and discipline but doubt that they could achieve the same level of success. Perhaps not, but Ma is obviously a unique and special __48__. She has set high goals, made a plan to achieve those goals, and worked hard to keep to her plan.

The camera __42 the other person’s facial expressions and 43 them up with 24 known features which convey 44 . How long and how often 24 “feature points” appear on the subject’s face are then analyzed by software developed by a team of Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). This data is then compared with a bank of expressions and the computer tells the wearer through an earpiece(耳机) and lights on the glasses what their date is thinking. In a traffic light-style system, a red light means 45 , yellow means they are a little 46 and green means your date is happy.The glasses are currently under development by researchers at MIT’s Media Lab. They say that wearing them during a conversation with another person is like having an “extra sense”.The glasses were developed for people suffering from autism(自闭症) who have genuine 47__ interacting with others, but now the team behind it has seen wider 48 .So far the glasses are still a work in progress and have been 49 just 64 percent of the time, a figure which is expected to improve with further tests.A. majorityB. involvingC. associationD. visibleE. wearingF. distractionG. attentivelyH. fatalI. specificallyJ. neededPeople who wear headphones might want to throw them away while walking outside. A study finds that accidents involving walkers 41 the devices have increased three times in recent years.Researchers combed several sources to find incidents in the U.S. of crashes 42 walkers and vehicles from 2004 to 2011. Searching the National Injury Surveillance System, the U.S. Consumer Product Safety Commission, Google News archives and Westlaw Campus Research, they found 116 cases of death or injury involving walkers wearing headphones. Cases in which people were using mobile phones (including hands-free devices) were not included.Over the years the number of cases increased, from 16 in 2004 and 2005 to 47 in 2010 and 2011. The victims’ average age was 21, and most (68 percent) were male. The 43 ( 67percent ) were under the age of 30. Most (55 percent) were hit by trains, and 70 percent of the crashes, most of which were in urban areas, were 44 .In 74 percent of the cases, police or eyewitness reports said the walker had headphones on when hit. And 29 percent of reports made mention of horns or warning bells going off before the crash.The study authors pointed to two likely causes that may be a factor in what they call “the possible 45 between headphone use and walker injury”: sensory deprivation（感官剥夺）and 46 . The latter is more 47 called “inattentional blindness,”referring to the use of electronic devices and how they decrease attention to things going on around us.Hearing what’s going on in the environment, they point out, could be moreimportant than 48 clues for walkers. But the authors add that this study doesn’t show cause or relationship of headphone use and walker risk, and other factors could have been involved in the accidents, such as walkers being intoxicated（陶醉）or drivers being at fault.More comprehensive information on such accidents is 49 , the researchers said, to see which groups of people may be most at risk.A. losingB. influenceC. originalD. identifiedE. futureF. regularlyG. attractedH. convincingI. carefullyJ. processSome people are happy to believe in ESP (超感官知觉) while others are firm disbelievers.Parapsychologists (灵学专家), who lend a certain seriousness to the subject, have 41 four types of ESP: One type called clairvoyance describes the act of being able to obtain knowledge of a person or event without the use of the normal senses; Another type, telepathy, is the 42 by which a person is able to read another person’s thoughts without the use of any of the normal senses; Still another type, psychogenesis, is the ability to43 a physical object just by thinking about it; The last type, precognition, is the term applied when somebody is able to foresee44 events.Over the years there have been many ESP experiments conducted by serious scientists in serious institutions. Joseph Banks Rhine, a botanist at Duke University published a famous book in 1934 called " Extra-Sensory Perception" in which he claimed to have overwhelming（压倒的）evidence of ESP. However, other scientists have been unable to repeat his results exactly in the same way, which has resulted in the book45 much of its original reliability.The Granzfield experiments are considered to have been the most 46 examined ESP experiments. The experimenters had their eyes covered and ears blocked while a "sender" attempted to transmit messages. Later the experimenters would compare the messages received to the 47 messages sent out. There was a great deal of excitement and interest at the time but the research failed to produce 48 results.Human beings are 49 to the supernatural phenomena. ESP will always continue to fascinate human beings. Some of the most successful films in recent years have fuelled interest among the younger generations who are starting to ask the same questions and to look for explanations for the same phenomena as their parents and grandparents before them.

Choose the best answer根据短文内容,选择最恰当的答案 12分A mother in Australia was told by a doctor that her newborn sonwas “dead”, but she helped bring him back to life by holding thebaby against her body. She used a method known as “kangaroo care”袋鼠护理法. The child, named Jamie, was born after only 27 weekswith his twin sister, Emily, at a hospital in Sydney. Her birth went well, but his was a different story. The doctor struggled for 20 minutes to save Jamie before declaring 宣布him dead.“His little arms and legs were just falling down away from his body,” Kate Ogg said, “I took my coat off and put him on my chest with his head over my arm.” She and her husband, David, spoke to the child as she continued to hold him for nearly two hours. During that time, the two-pound baby showed signs of life. She said, “ I told my mom, who was there, that he was still alive. Then he held out his hand and grabbed抓住 my finger.” Their tiny baby grew stro nger and stronger in his mother’s arms, and their final goodbye turned into a hello. The doctor at first ignored忽视the baby’s movements, but when he put the stethoscope 听诊器 to its chest, his mouth was wide open and he said, “It’s my fault. It’s a miracle 奇迹”.“The ‘kangaroo care’helps the baby keep body warmth,”Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said. “It also regulates调节 heartbeat and breathing rates and is believed to help weight gain and improve sleeping habits. Fathers can also use ‘kangaroo care’. The key to the method is skin-to-skin contact.”The practice began in less developed nations. It has become a recognized practice in helping premature早产的babies. The technique技术 is good for babies, and is used in many baby care centres.69. Jamie and Emily are ______________.A twin sistersB twin brothersC twinD twins70. After hearing what the doctor said, the mother ______________.A chose to believe the doctorB didn’t give up and tried to bring her baby to lifeC became so sad that she almost became madD became angry at what the doctor did to her son71. When the baby first showed signs of life, the doctor ________________.A didn’t believe a miracle had happenedB was too shocked to do anythingC was cheered and tried to save the baby at onceD was moved by what the mother did to the baby72. From what Dr Pinchi Srinivasan said, we learn the baby came back to life mainly becauseof ________________.A the mother’s soft wordsB the doctor’s careful careC the father’s “kangaroo care”D skin-to-skin contact with the mother73. According to the passage, premature babies refer to babies that are born _____.A with diseasesB before their timeC deadD heavy74. What’s the main idea of this passageA A baby was almost killed by a doctor’s wrong decision.B A doctor in Australia announced a baby was dead by mistake.C A mom in Australia saved her baby with “kangaroo care”.D A mom in Australia invented a new method of saving babies.B.

WhenThomas one day discovered that other children had someone theycalled Mum and asked why he must call her grandma instead of Mum. She told him gently about his mother’s death before he wasthree months old. There was not the same reaction反应 when he asked why he had 75 to call Dad. Then his grandma glared at瞪了一眼 him and got angrier than he had 76 seen and the sharp reply was, “He was a bad man. He didn’t want your mother, and he didn’t want you when you were born.” Thomas never asked about his father any more.Shortly after his fifth birthday and two days before Christmas Day, Thomas was woken up by his grandma’s calling to him from her bedroom. Running into the old lady’s room, he found her 77 for breathlessness喘不过气, and between gasps喘气,trying to tell him to fetch the next-door neighbour. As soon as the neighbour arrived,she sent Thomas to call another neighbour. Next Thomas was told he must stay downstairs, so he sat in the kitchen, trying to give all his 78 to his toys. He was there to see the doctor arrive, and to see him leave a few minutes later. This eased减轻Thomas’s worry. A doctor would stay a long time with someone who was seriously ill. The fact that the doctor left so 79 after his arrival meant that Grandma was going to be all right again. He expected to be told he could go upstairs and see her. But the first neighbour came down and explained that Grandma was 80 and the doctor had said she couldn’t be disturbed打扰. Shortly afterwards the second neighbour came down, helped Thomas put his toys in a box, and then took him to have lunch with her and her two children.75. A none B someone C no one D anyone76.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words 在短文的空格内填入适当的词,使内容通顺, 每空格限填一词,首字母已给 14分There are different ways of telling a story. It can be told in words, in pictures, in music, and acted o 81 , or it can be told by still another way---by dancing. Dancing that tells a story is called a ballet芭蕾舞. The dancing in a ballet is done to music, but the story is told by the movements of the dancers. There is no singing and speaking in it. A ballet is a work of art just as a beautiful picture .The origin起源of ballet d 82 back about 600 years ago,which began as a kind of entertainment in the courts of the rulersof Italy. Two hundred years later ballet was popular in the Frenchcourt. The French King Louis XIV founded a ballet school. Later therulers of Russia became interested in ballet. They offered largeamounts of money to the best ballet masters and dancers of France.They also set up their own ballet schools and dance companies舞蹈团. Soon Russians produced many famous ballets. “Swan Lake”wasone of them. Russians transformed the world of dance, music, art, theatre and even f 83 .The basic positions姿势and techniques of ballet were developed long ago. Over the centuries, choreographers编舞者 have revised修改the classical techniques, but the basic positions have remained the same. When you begin learning the steps and poses舞姿 of ballet, you will realize that most of them have French names. For example, a part of a ballet that is danced by just two people is called pas de deux芭蕾双人舞. Most of the French terms have been c 84 throughout the years. Such French words remind us that France was once the leader in ballet.Ballet dancing is known for its grace and elegance, as ballerinas芭蕾舞女演员 seem to glide 滑行across the stage almost effortlessly不费力地. Probably the most important part of a ballet dancer’s equipment is ballet shoes. After several years of proper t 85 , female ballet dancers wear pointe shoes足尖鞋 to raise themselves even higher and lighter by going up on their toes. Pointe shoes make it possible for ballerinas to dance on the tips of their toes.The first ballet was performed over 500 years ago. Men t 86 danced the leading roles, as women were considered too weak to perform the challenging and sometimes daring choreography 大胆的舞蹈动作. But now a girl has as good a chance as a boy of being a famous ballet dancer. Many of the most famous ballets were adapted from fairy tales and folk stories. Some ballets are based on historical events and bible stories. In a ballet, you can find the most beautiful and graceful of all dance styles. If you’ve ever seen a l 87 ballet on stage, you are aware of a ballerina’s amazing ability to transport an entire audience into another world. All ballet dancers have one thing in common: a love of the grace, beauty and discipline有素养of ballet.D. Answer the questions 根据短文内容回答下列问题 12分Music not only gives you something to sing and dance to, but also can make you feel happier. Scientists say that music can help to relax people’s mind and even help to relieve pain. How does music work its magic It is the fact that music can adjust调节 our mood. Recently, there is a scientific research to back up what we have always known about music. The studies have shown that when people are excited or happy they are more helpful. The opposite相反的情况 happens when people feel aggressive 好斗的 or under stress. The use of music can influence how helpful people can be.Dr. Adrian North made a study with 256 university students. Half the group took exercise in the gymnasium listening to music which can bring happiness and the other half exercised to aggressive music. When leaving the gym, the students were asked to hand out flyers 传单in support of the local disabled athlete’s foundation残疾运动员基金会.The results showed that nearly half of the group that listened to happy music were willing to愿意hand out flyers. But less than 20% in the group that heard the aggressive music were willing to do so. This study suggests that our choice of music can influence our willingness to cooperate 合作.While a study also shows that productivity 生产效率 can be increased with the right choice of background music in the workplace. As music stimulates 刺激workers’ mind, job satisfaction is often positively influenced. Other studies have shown that workers who are in a good mood have more job satisfaction than those in a bad mood.These studies show that music can have a powerful influence on a person’s ability to cooperate. Moods have a direct influence直接影响on cooperation and job satisfaction, These factors因素also have a direct relationship to the success of a business.88.

He grew up in the state of Connecticut and he showed great interest in pop music since he was a child. At the age of thirteen, one of his neighbors introduced him to the blues布鲁斯音乐. Mayer started taking music lessons from a local guitar shop owner. He loved blues so much that he began to perform with his guitar at some local blues bars while he was still in high school.In 1998, Mayer left school after two terms and moved to Atlanta. He became a frequent performer in local coffee houses and clubs. In 1999, his first CD “Inside Wants Out’ was released. The album is filled with his energetic songs. His newest album “Room For Square”came out in 2002. Mayer was enjoying the success of these albums.At that time, he wanted to become the best guitar player in the country.

It has been the most played CD in Chicago, Boston and several other American cities. The album “No Such Thing” was so popular that it attracted more than 10 million listeners a week.

In this winter holiday, I want to polish my English. Compared with some top students’ English, my English is not very good in my class.

I think we should put down the devices in our hands and go back to the real world at once.Nowadays, with the fast development of science and technology, more and more electronic devices are coming into our life and people also are spending more and more time on them. Take my own experience as an example. Lastweek, I invited my classmates to celebrate my birthday party, but at the party, almost all of them were using their electronic products to surf the internet, play games, or write blogs. What a shame it was! If we could stay away from the electronic devices and have more time to talk face-to-face with our friends and parents, what a wonderful life it would be!普陀区Dear classmates，As proverb goes, books are the ladder of human’s progress. However in our class, most of you, unlike top students, often play computer games instead of reading books during your spare time. There are many advantages of reading books, on one hand it can enrich our knowledge that can’t be learned from classes, on the other hand, it will open our mind to the wider outside world. In my opinion, reading is just like making friends, few but good. All in all, as junior school students, we should get into the good habit of reading books every day.宝山It a common belief that we can’t depend on our parents forever, therefore, my viewpoint is that we should go to a boarding school,First of all, we can learn to be independent if we study in a boardingschool and therefore our parents will not worry about us so much in the future life. What’s more, we can make friends and push ahead the friendship in such an environment. In a word, it all depends on ourselves whether we should go or not.A recent survey shows that 70% of the students have so much homework that they have to burn the midnight oil to finish it. This, however, has done harm to teenagers’health. Undoubtedly, a certain amount of homework can help enhance their study at school. But with too much homework, students tend to get anxious and tired. Also, they are easy to feel sleepy because of the lack of sleeping time. As a result, they can’t get focused in class. Therefore, instead of doing loads of homework, students should be given more time to do outdoor activities and develop their interests and hobbies. Thus, they can be healthy both physically and mentally.作文解析：黄浦区作文还是以议论文为思路。
