This kind of food is 37 .We begin toget knowledge even when we are young. Small children are 38 in everything around them. They learn something while they 39 and listening.

Like most skills, it improves with practice. If you wantto meet people and make friends, you must be willing（乐意） to take some action. Youmust first go where there are people. You won’t make friends staying home alone.Join a club or group, talking with those who like the same things you do is much easier. Or join someone in some activity.Many people are nervous when talking to new people. After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown. And it’s human nature to feel a bit uncomfortable about the unknown.Most of our fears about dealing with new people come from doubts about ourselves. We imagine other people are giving an opinion about us-finding us too tall or too short, too this or too that. But don’t forget that they must be feeling the same away. Try to accept(接受)yourself as you are, and try to put the other person at ease(不拘束). You’ll both feel more comfortable.Try to keep self-confident(自信)even when you don’t feel that way when you enter a room full of strangers, such as a new classroom, walk tall(趾高气扬)and straight, look directly at other people and smile.If you see someone you’d like to speak to, say something. Don’t wait for the other person to start a conversation.Just meeting someone new does not mean that you will make friends with that person-friendship is based on each other’s liking and “give and take”. They take time and efforts to develop. And there are things that keep a new friendship from growing.46. If you want to meet people and make friends, what should you do?A. Join a club or group.B. Talk with those who like the same things.C. Join someone in some activity.D. All of the above(上面)47. In the sentence “After all, meeting strangers means facing the unknown.”, the word “unknown” means _____.A. without somebody knowingB. without somebody likingC. unfriendlyD. unpleasant48. How do you feel more comfortable when you are with new people?A. Shake hands with othersB. Accept yourself as you are, and put the other as easeC. Don’t talk with those who don’t like.D. Walk tall and straight.49. If you’d like to speak to someone, what should you do?A. You should wait until the person says something.B. You should stay home alone.C. You should cough until the person notices you.D. You should say something at first.50. Friendship is based on______A. meeting for the first timeB. each other’s liking and “give and take”C. keeping self-confidentD. facing the unknownBAs 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.51. Your dreams can be very ____, such as becoming one of the best students in your class.A. bigB. smallC. highD. low52. Follow Your Heart is a ______ .A. movieB. songC. bookD. dream53. What idea stops you from realizing your dream?A. I can’t be a writer.B. I am good at some school subjects.C. I think I am very greatD. I am the best student in our class.54. Don’t let ____ leave your heart.A. your ideaB. your decisionC. your dreamD. your book55. Studying TV will help you to get better exam results ____ watching TV.A. withB. instead ofC. withoutD. byC"The Chinese Dream" is a hot topic of this year. Many Chinese young people are inspired by the Chinese Dream. Everyone has their own dreams. They give us courage and confidence to keep us going through difficulties. Here are some pieces of advice on how to realize our beautiful dreams.Never giving up is the key to make our dreams come true. We may fail from time to time, but we can learn from failure, correct our mistakes and try again until we achieve our goals. Our life is like a long journey which is not all roses. It sometimes has wind and rain. We believe rainbows will appear after storms.Cooperation is also necessary. Everyone likes a person who is good at cooperating with others. Besides, in our society most problems can't be solved by one person alone. Cooperation is becoming one of the most important ways for people living in the developing society.At the same time, we should learn to examine our abilities because it helps us know our advantages and disadvantages as well as get a full control of ourselves. Then we may be confident enough to face challenges.Follow the suggestions above, and our dreams are sure to come true.( )56. What can dream give us?A. Success.B. Confidence and courage.C. Happiness.D. Rights (权力).( )57. How can we achieve our dreams?A. Work hard.B. Have a long journey.C. Never give upD. Make fewer mistakes.( )58. How many suggestions of making dreams come true are mentioned in this passage?A. OneB. Two.C. Three.D. Four.( )59. The underlined word "It" in the second paragraph refers to________.A. never giving up our dreamsB. our lifeC. a long journeyD. learning from failure( )60. Which is the best title for this passage?A. The Chinese DreamB. Cooperation is NecessaryC. Examine Our AbilitiesD. Advice on How to Realize Our Beautiful Dreams四. 口语交际。

单选题—This is________useful dictionary, I think. So it is. And it's________ unusual one.A.a, anB.a, aC.an, anD.the, an【答案】A【解析】句意：——我认为这是一本有用的字典。

的确是。

它也是一本不同寻常的字典。

考查冠词辨析。

两空均表示泛指，所以用不定冠词。

useful以辅音音素开头，第一空用不定冠词a；unusual以元音音素开头，第二空用不定冠词an。

故选A。

单选题ZhuGuangquan's followers prefer ________jokes that can bring________ happiness.A.him, themselvesB.their, himC.his, themD.himself, their【答案】C【解析】句意：朱广权的跟随者们更喜欢他讲的那些能带给他们快乐的笑话。

考查代词。

jokes是名词，前面应为形容词性物主代词，排除A、D；第二空前面为动词bring，此空应填宾格。

根据句意，可知此处是带给跟随者们快乐，所以应用复数他们them。

故选C。

单选题Take more exercise, ________you will be healthier.A.butB.forC.andD.so【答案】C【解析】句意：多做锻炼，你将变得更健康。

考查连词。

but但是，表转折；for因为；and表顺接；so所以。

根据句意，此空应是表顺接。

故选C。

单选题—How long have you________?—For 10 years, we got married in 2005.A.marriedB.got marriedC.been marriedD.were married【答案】C【解析】句意：——你们结婚多久了？——十年了，我们2005年结的婚。
