So is the idea of making New Year"s resolutions.A resolution is a promise to or do something different in the coming year.Making New Year resolutions is a common American tradition.Today, popular resolutions might include the promise to lose weight,stop smoking,or be more productive at work.Some people offered New Year resolutions of their own. One person decided to get a new cat to replace a beloved one that recently died.Another promised to stop telling storis about other people. And another one may promise to spend more time with his family.Other peop[le use New Year resolution to make major changes in their lives. One such resolution might be to "stop and smell the flowers." This means to take time to enjoy simplepleasures instend of always being too busy and in a hurry.Anotherresolution might be"don"t sweat the small stuff." This means not ot worry or get angry about unimportant things.Another resolution might be to be happy now and to forget about bad things that happened in the past.Or,to be thankful for the most important things in life,like family and friends.36.Ancient Egyptians began their new year in summer because-------.A. they hated the cold weatherB. they thought summer time brought them good luckC.. it was the time their king would give up his crownD. they could celebrate it by swimming in the Nile37.From the information given in the paasage we can conclude that-------.A.New Year celebrations have their traditionsB. the people of ancient Egypt had floods instead of New Year celebrationsC. the ancient Babyloinans would have a new king every New Year"s DayD. making New Year"s resolutions started as an American tradition38.If you were frequently bothered by unimportant things last year, which of the following NewYear resolutions should you make?A.Lose weight.B.

Stop and Smell the Flowers( B )Bicycles are very popular around the world nowadays.People ride their bicycles for exercise and enjoyment.In some places people use a bicycle to get to work.In other places,bicycle riding is very popular exercise to people who live in cities.But who invented the first bicycle?In1791,a Frenchman named Comte de Sivrac invented and owned the first bicycle.Mrs.Sivrac rode the first bicycle in Paris.The handle and the seat were wooden.This bicycle was very difficult to move.A rider even had to pick up the front wheel to change direction. Finally,the bicycle had no brakes for stopping or pedals for the feet! Riding a bicycle was a great a risk.In 1817,a german named Baron von drais de Sauerbrun made the bike better. The seat became more comfortable. The wheel could now change direction.His ride in the forest took only one hour instead of three hours on foot,which surprised people at that time.Sauerbrun broght this kind of bicycle from Germany to France.Then Denis Johnson, an English man,made a bicycle for women.It had space for the dresses to hang down.But these bikes still had no brakes or pedals,and cyclists often got hurt.These bikes and the people who rode them were not very popular.It took another forty-five years for bikes to become popular than ever.In fact,in India and China,there still many more bikes than cars.41.Which of the following best describes the first bicycle?A.Easy to carry.fortable to sit on.C.Heavy but fastD.Difficult to ride42.Why was it a risk to ride the first bicycle?A.because it had no pedals for the feet.B.because it was difficult to control.C.because people would laugh at you.D.because handles and the seat were wooden.43.Which of the following was NOT an improvement made by Sauerbrun to the first bicycle?A.Brakes were added to it.B.It was made to go faster.C.the wheels could now change direction.D.The seat was made more comfortable.44.What"s the major differnce between Denis Johnson"s bicycle and the earlier ones?A.It was more comfortabl.B.It was faster and safer.C.It had space for the rider"s dress.D.It had metal handles and seat.45.The best title for the passage would be-------.A.Bicycles around the WorldB.How to Ride a BicycleC.The Greatest invention C.The First Bicycle( C )Green is an important color in nature.It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees.It is also the color of the most growing plants.Sometimes,the word green means young,fresh and growing.Sometimes,it describes something that is not yet ripe finished.For example,a greenhorn is someone who has no experience,who is new to situation.In the fifteenth century,a greenhorn was a young cow or ox whose horns had not yet developed.A century or so later,a green horn was a soldier who had not yet had any experience in battle.By the eightteenth century,a greenhorn had the meaning it has today---a person who is new in his job.Someone who has the ability to grow plants well is said to have a green thumb.The expression comes from the early nineteen hundreds.A person with a green thumb seems to have a magic touch that makes plants grow quickly and well.You might say that the woman next door has a green thumb if her garden continues to grow long after your plants have died.The green revolution is the name given some years ago to the development of new kinds of rice and other grains.The new plants produced much large crops.The Green Revolution was the result of hard work by agricultural scientists who had green thumbs.Green is also the color used to describe the powerful emotion,jealousy.The green-eyed monster is not frightening creature from out space.It is an expression used about four hundred years ago by British writer William Shakespeare in his play "Othello".It describes the unpleasant feeling a person has when someone has something he wants.A young man may suffer from the green-eyed monster if his girlfiend begins going out with someone else.Or,that green-eyed monster may affect your friend if you get a pay raise and she does not.46.The underlined word "ripe"in the second paragraph is closest in meaning to----.A.oldB.gigedD.grow47.What does the word"greenhorn"refer to now?A.A person who is new in a job.B.A new soldier.C.A young cow.D.Someone who is good at growing plants.48.A person who has a green thumb is a person--------.A.who is good at growing plantsB.whose thumbs are in green colorC.whose garden is greener than others"D.who is younger than his neighbors49.If you are jealous of someone"success,then we can say you are suffering from------.A.a greenhornB.a green thumbC.the green-eyed monster C.the Green Revolution50.The author is actually talking about ----------.A.colorsnguageC.politisD.agriculture( D )Parents should stop blaming themselves because there is not a lot of they do about it.I mean the teenager problem.Whatever you do or however you choose to deal with it,atcertain times a wonderful,reasonable and helpful child will tun into a terrible animal.I have seen friends deal with it in all kinds of different ways.One strict mother insisted that her son,right from a child,should stand up whenever anyone entered the room,open doors and shake hands like a gentleman.I saw him last week when I called round. Spreading himself on the sofa in full length,he made no attempt to turn off the loud TV he was watching as I walked in,and his greating was no more than a quick glance at me.His mother was ashamed."I don"t know what to do with him these days,"she said."He has forgotten all the manners we taught him."He hasn"t forgotten them.He has just decided that he is not going to use them.She confessed that she would like to come up behind him and throw him down from the sofa onto the floor. Another good friend of mine let her daughters climb all over the furniture,reach across the table,stare at me and say,"I don"t like your dress;it is ugly."One of the daughters has recently been driven out of school.The other has left home."Where did we go wrong?"her parents are now very sad.Probably nowhere much.At least,no more than the rest of that unfortunate race,parents.51.The text is most probably written by--------.A.a specialist in teenager studiesB.a headmaster of a middle schoolC.a parent with teenager childrenD.a doctor for mental health problems52.The underlined word"it" in the second paragrapg refers to--------.A.the change from good to bad that happens in a childB.the way that parents often blame themselvesC.the opinion that a child has of his parentsD.the advice that parents want their children to follow53.The boy on the sofa would most probably be described as -------.zyB.quietC.unusualD.rude54.From the second example we can infer that the parents of the two daughters-----.A.pay no attention to themB.are too busy to look after themC.have come to hate themD.feel helpless to do much about him55.What is the author"s opinion about the sudden change in the teenager children?A.Parents have no choice but to try to accept it.B.Parents should pay still more attention to the change.C.Parents should work more closely with school teachers.D.Parents are at fault for the change in their children.第四节阅读表达（15 分）（用英语回答每小题，每题不超过15个单词）Playing is serious business for children.In fact,it is what they do best.Ask them why they do it,and kids will probably say,"Because it is fun."But it is much more than that.It is also good for them.Studies show that from first babies begin learning through play.They use their five senses to getto know their new world.Touching allows them to discover how different things feels. Brightly colored toys and clothing help develop a baby's sight.When small children choose which toy to play with ,they begin developing their abilities in making decision.Children love toys that allow them to use their imagination. Sometimes an empty box is more fun than a high-tech toy. That's because a box can become anything a children imagines it to be. Crayons ,paints and Play-Doh (彩色塑泥)are also good because they allow children to crate .Traditional building blocks teach important pre-math skills like problemsolving.Playing doesn't become any less important once children start school . Many valuable lessons about life are learned on the school playground. Kids learn how to share ,take turns and play by rulers.56.
