Answer the questions. (12’)As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want every day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.1. What does Andrew Matthews do?______________________________________________________________2.

She found thatthe desks were no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make eight bigger desks. She was too excited about it for the first two days and she couldn't listen to the teachers carefully. But soon she and her classmates got used to this new classroom arrangement (安排). “Now our class is quieter,” said Wu. “What's more, we can come up with our own ideas and learn mor e through discussion. It's a better way to study.”Li Yu liked it, too. He said, “Group members first discuss, and then show ourselves in front of the whole class. It makes us believe in ourselves.” It was part of a reform (改革) at Li's school—Baita Secondary School. The school made this reform because they wanted to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances to discuss. “Our school hopes it can improve students' abilities (能力) to study by themselves and work in groups,” said Zhang Yong, the principal of the school.However, the reform has demanded (要求) more from teachers. Now they have only about 15 minutes to give the lesson which should be taught in 45 minutes before. It is difficult to teach in such a short time. The teachers have to find better ways to teach more effectively.“The reform demands more, but I'm sure it is helpful,” added Mr Zhang.（1）After the new classroom arrangement it was easier for Wu Li and her classmates to ______ in class.A . discuss with each otherB . sit in the classroomC . push desks togetherD . teach a lesson（2）The school made the reform to provide students with _______ to study.A . noisier classesB . easier waysC . more seatsD . fewer chances（3）The Chinese meaning of the word “effectively” in this passage is _________.A . 简单地B . 明确地C . 有效地D . 认真地（4）The teachers __________ after the reform.A . have to find better ways to teachB . find it easier to teachC . spend 45 minutes explaining to the studentsD . are happy to explain for only 15 minutes（5）The best title of this passage may be “________”.A .

But there are still some people who don’t believe family life can be an enjoyable experience.Some people already accepted the idea of the “me generation” so they fail to understand that there is a time in life when they have to give up their time to something more valuable.At a time when adults need to think about the needs of their family, they will be doing other important things. Some people will spend too much time working for a more powerful car or a bigger house so that they can proudly say that they have them. Some will be doing dangerous things so that they may tell their stories to their friends, and others will recite things like “ I must become the best I can be.” or “I don’t want to be at the bottom.” The needs of their family will be forgotten and they never seem to have time for the family.Many people have not experienced a strong helpful perfect family life, so they have never discovered its worth. Many people have always experienced family life as a flight, so they can’t find time and energy for work.But it is really very important that we all expect good family relations. We need to realize and value the importance of what can be achieved by loving each other in the family. It is also important for our society to encourage family members to create happiness.（1）What does the writer expect family life to be like?A . Happy experience.B . A strong societyC . Too much workD . A flight（2）What is meant by “me generation”?A . I will do whatever the family want me to do.B . Nothing is more important than myself.C . I always agree with people around.D . The generation is my age group.（3）Why haven’t some people discovered the wort h of family life?A . They are not married.B . They grow in a happy family.C . They don’t live with the family.D . They have never enjoyed family life.（4）What is the writer’s purpose of writer the passage?A . To ask people to study family life.B . To tell people to work hard for the family.C . To advise people to create happy family life.D . To give people some examples of family members.15. （5分）任务型阅读This is my family tree. My name is Jack. I'm English. I have a big family.

The film was about the love between a mother and her son. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt 4 that I didn't listen to my mother before.

These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream, what do you do with it Do you ever try to make your dream realFollow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want eve ry day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.1. What does Andrew Matthews do______________________________________________________________2.

On the steps of a building, a group of engineering students were waiting for the last exam. On their faces was confidence.They knew the exam would be easy. The professor had said they could bring any books or notes during the test.Right after they came into the classroom, the professor handed out the papers. There were only five questions on it.Three hours passed. Then the professor began to collect the papers. The students no longer looked confident. On their faces was nervous expression. The professor watched the worried faces before him, and then asked, "How many of you have completed(完成) all five questions?" No hand was raised. "How many of you have answered four?" Still no hands. "Three? Two?" The students moved restlessly in their seats. "One, then? Certainly somebody has finished one. "But the class kept silent. The professor said, "That is exactly what I expected. I just want to make you know clearly that even though you have completed four years of engineering, there are still many things about the subject you don't know. These questions you could not answer are common in everyday practice. "Then, smiling, he added, "You will all pass this course, your education has just begun."The years have obscured the name of this professor, but not the lesson he taught.（1）Why did the students think the exam was easy at first?A . Because it was their last exam in the college.B . Because they knew there were only five questions.C . Because they thought they were clever and talented.D .

Last week the Organization for Economic Co-operation Development (经济合作与发展组织) picked the best students in the world. They are Finnish (芬兰的). The OECD gave a test to 280 000 15-year-old students from more than 40 countries and regions (地区) last year. The OECD wanted to know how well students were doing at school.Finnish students were No. 1 in the reading test and second in maths after Hong Kong students. Those from Japan and Finland were top in science. In the problem solving, Finnish students came second to those from South Korea. The test also showed Finland had more top students than the other countries.Finns (芬兰人) of your age have done a really good job but don't have a sense of envy. You can learn from them. Most Finnish students make good use of the Internet. Of course not for computer games, but for doing more exercises and finding out more information.Libraries are also important. Finland spends a lot of money on them. Many students have a free card. They read for at least one or two hours a day.What do you usually do on the Internet? How often do you go to libraries?（1）Students from which country or region did best in the reading test?A . South Korea.B . Hong Kong.C . Finland.D . Japan.（2）Which of the following is NOT true?A .

Japanese students were top in science.（3）From this passage we know that_________.A . the test can make the students lose their interest in learningB . the test is designed to find out good ways to use the InternetC . it's hard to tell who the best students in the world areD . Finnish students make better use of the Internet and libraries21. （8分） Scientists who study the climate are still arguing about how fast the earth is warming and how much it will warm, but they do agree that the earth is warming and that it will keep warming if we don't do anything about it.Scientists agree that the burning of fossil fuels (化石燃料) like oil and coal cause greenhouse gases to escape into the air and that these gases are causing most of the warming. Another cause is deforestation (cutting down trees) . Trees soak up carbon dioxide, one of the greenhouse gases, from the air.There are already some changes happening because of global warming. Sea level is rising and some animals are already moving to new homes. It's already too late to stop global warming completely.If the warming gets worse, as scientists expect, there may be some kinds of plants and animals that is disappearing because they can’t move to new homes. There may be more storm s and floods. Sea level may rise so much that people have to move away from the coasts. Some areas may become too dry for farming.Global warming is a very difficult problem to fix. People are having a hard time agreeing on what to do about it. For example, everyone agrees that wasting energy is a bad thing to do. But some people think that the federal government (联邦政府) should make laws about it, while other people think it should be up to each person or business to decide what to do.Many states and businesses in the United States are not waiting until the federal government decides what to do. They have already started working on the problem.（1）What are the scientists arguing about in the passage?A . How fast is the earth warming?B . How much will the earth warm?C . The earth will keep warming if we don't do anything about it.D . Both A and B.（2）What does the underlined phrase “soak up” mean?A . take inB . grow upC . take offD . set up（3）What may be the causes of global warming?A . The disappearance of plants and animals and the wasting energyB . The burning of fossil fuels and storms and floodsC . The burning of fossil fuels and deforestation.D . The rising of sea level and deforestation.（4）What is the best title of this passage?A . The reason for global warmingB . How to stop global warmingC . The changes to the worldD . The global warming五、语法填空 (共1题；共10分)22. （10分）阅读下面材料，在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词或括号内的单词的正确形式)。

Li Jie knew all about that but he said 3 to me.One weekend, Li Jie invited me to watch a film. I liked films very much so I went to the cinema with him happily. The film was about the love between a mother and her son. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt 4 that I didn't listen to my mother before.

Then we talked there u 3 it got dark. I asked the girl why she was so sad.

These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream, what do you do with it Do you ever try to make your dream realFollow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want ever y day and then your dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.1. What does Andrew Matthews do______________________________________________________________2.

Li Jie knew all about that but he said 3 to me.One weekend, Li Jie invited me to watch a film. I liked films very much so I went to the cinema with him happily. The film was about the love between a mother and her son. After watching it, I began to know how great the love of the mother was. I felt 4 that I didn't listen to my mother before.

Then we talked there u 3 it got dark. I asked the girl why she was so sad. She looked at me a nd said with a sad face, “Because of the hump.”“But, you make me think of an angel (天使), sweet and friendly,” I said. She looked at me and asked, “Really?” I said, “Yes, I think you are an angel and you come here to watch over all those people walking by.” When she h 4 this, the little girl jumped up. “I am!

Answer the questions. (12’)As young students, you have many dreams. These dreams can be very big, such as winning the Nobel Prize; they can also be small, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.Once you find a dream, what do you do with it? Do you ever try to make your dream real?Follow Your Heart by Andrew Matthews, an Australian writer, tells us that making our dreams real is life’s biggest challenge. You may think you’re not very good at some school subjects, or that it is impossible for you to become a writer. Those kinds of ideas stop you from realizing your dream, the books says.In fact, everyone can realize his dream. The first thing you must do is to remember what your dream is. Don’t let it leave your heart. Keep telling yourself what you want ev ery day and thenyour dream will come true faster. You should know that a big dream is, in fact, made up of many small dreams.You must also never give up your dream. There will be difficulties on the road to your dreams. But the biggest difficulty comes from yourself. You need to decide what is the most important. Studying instead of watching TV will help you to get better exam results, while saving five yuan instead of buying an ice cream means you can buy a new book.As you get closer to your dream, it may change a little. This is good as you have the chance to learn something more useful and find new hobbies.1. What does Andrew Matthews do?______________________________________________________________2.
