"Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?" "When I got that great job did Jerry really feel good about as a friend? Or did he envy my luck? " When we lookback, doubts like these can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it's too late.Why do we go wrong about our friends or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meaning. And if we don't really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words, Suppose someone tells you, "You're a lucky dog.” Is he really on your side? If he says, "You're a lucky guy." or “You're a lucky gal. " That's being friendly. But "lucky dog" ? There's a bit of envy in those words. Maybe he doesn't see it himself. But bringing in the "dog" bit puts you down a little. What he may be saying is he doesn't think you deserve your luck.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone's words? One way is to take a good look at theperson talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Does what he says square with the tone of voice? His posture(体态)? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. Spend some time thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you, and you may save another mistake.1. The questions in the first paragraph tell us that the speaker___________.A. feels happy because his friends were nice to himB. feels he may not have "read” his friends true feelings correctlyC. thinks it was a mistake to have broken up with his girl friend HelenD. is sorry that his friends let him down2. From the example "You're a lucky dog", we can learn that___________.A. the speaker of the sentence is friendlyB. it means the same as "You're a lucky guy. " or "You're a lucky gal.”C. sometimes the words used by the speaker give a tip to the feeling behind the wordsD. the word "dog" shouldn’t be used to describe a person3. The passage tries to tell you how to ___________.A. avoid mistakes about money and friendB. bring the "dog" bit into our conversationC. be friendly to other peopleD. avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell you4. What is important in listening to a person?A. To notice his tone, his posture and the look in his eyes.B. To listen to how he pronounces his words.C. To check if his words go well with his manner, his tone of voice and his posture.D. Don’t believe what he says.5. If you follow the writer’s advice, you would ___________.A. be able to get the real me aning of people’s wordsB. avoid any mistakes while talking with the people who envy youC. not lose real friends who say things that do not please youD. be able to observe people as they are talking to you四、阅读填空Marth 20th is World Water Day every year.

You don't need to care about those who have beautiful houses with large gardens and swimming pools or those who have nice cars and lots of money and so on. Why? .Because those who have big house may often feel lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roadsat their free time.In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in trouble at school, your friends will help you; when you study hard at your lessons, your parents are always taking good care of your life and your health; when you get success, your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something good to others, you will feel happy, too.All these are your happiness. If you notice them, you can see that happiness is always around you.Happiness is not the same as money.It is a feeling of your heart. When you are poor, you can also say you are very happy, because you have something else that can't be bought with money. When you meet with difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy, because you have bad luck. As the saying goes, life is like arevolvingdoor. When it closes, it also opens.

And now! you can google it and find the answer immediately!Google is the most popular Internet search engine in the world. It was invented by two students, Larry Page and Sergey Brin. They met in 1993, when they were studying computer science at Stanford University, USA．They dreamed of producing something that could also answer any question in seconds.Internet search engines at that time were slow and gave many websites that weren't useful. In January 1996, Page and Brin decided to make a better and faster search engine. They thought the results should be based on the most popular websites.Nobody would give them money for their project, so they used their own money. They also borrowed money from family and friends. Then, in 1998, they were given a cheque for $100,000, and they started their own company. Their first office was in a friend's garage. The company's name is Google, a word which comes from mathematics. A “google” is a very high number---- 1 followed by a hundred zeros.The google search engine was soon used by thousands of people worldwide because it was fast, easy and correct. By 2002 it was the biggest search engine on the Internet. Now, more questions have been answered by Google than any other Internet service, from sport to science, and from music to medicine. Google hopes that in the future all the world's information will be put on the Internet, so that everybody can find everything.1．The writer began this passage by asking you a question because ___________.A．Shakespeare is one of the most famous people in the worldB．he or she was afraid that the readers didn't know this questionC．he or she wanted to make the readers interested in this passageD．he or she liked to begin this passage by asking readers a question2．The underline word “cheque” in the fifth paragraph means _______ in Chinese.A．楼房B．帐单C．订单D．支票3．From the passage we know that at the beginning of their project,__ ____.A．there was not any search engine on the Internet.B．nobody supported them except their family and friendsC．one of the most popular websites gave them a cheque for $100,000D．Larry Page and Sergey Brin dreamed to produce something to answer any question4．Which statement is NOT true according to the passage?A．Now the Google search engine is widely used in the world.B．The google search engine was the biggest one after 2002.C．Larry Page and Sergey Brin named google after a hundred zeros.D．The service of the Google search engine is very popular.C15、“Father, do you see Mother in your dreams?” the young girl asks. “You know sometimes I do.”“Mother comes to see me a lot, you know. We sit and talk.” The father smiles. “How is your homework coming along?”“Why do I have to study so hard?”“It is what your mother would have wanted!”She regrets speaking her mind. “I’m sorry, Father, I shouldn’t have said that.” She looks up and sees his eyes well up with tears.“It’s okay, love,” he gets up and pours himself a drink. “I’ll just sit outside for a while. You finish up your work, okay?”“I’m sorry, Father; Mother did love you very much. She told me all the time.”“Homework, first, eh? Then we can chat about your mother.”He heads off outside and sits in his usual chair, looking around the courtyard. The whole area relaxes the mind and somehow soothes the soul.“All finished, Father. May I get a drink and sit with you? I have some questions.”She comes with two drinks one for him and one for herself. He looks surprised. She never really liked him having a drink.

We would la ugh together at your love stories.”He listens without uttering a single sound.“Why didn’t you come and take her away with you? She really wanted that. Did you know that?”Her father looks at his daughter lovingly. “Circumstances(情况) were difficult back then. It was just the way things were. When it came time to…” he sighs. “To visit her it was too late.”The girl smiles. “I hope I will have the same kind of love you and mother had.”“Without all the heartache,” her father adds.“She always knew you loved her. She told me every day,” the child mentions cheerfully. “I saw her crying sometimes when she read your letters.”“Did she make you promise to look after me?” she inquires.“She asked me to take care of you.”“You promised her, didn’t you?”“Yes, I did.”“It is nice out here, isn't it? Mother would have been very happy here.”She talks with some authority. Her father remains silent. A smile comes to his weary brow. He nods his head.“Mother wanted me to give you something. I think now the time is right.” She runs to her room. Upon returning she hands her father a book. “It’s mother’s diary! She wanted me to give it to you.”He takes the book and holds it in his trembling hands, “Thank you.”“Mother said you would understand things better.”“Wise woman, your mother.”He places the book on the table as he gets up. The girl gets up and wraps herself around her father.“I love you.” she looks up at his face.He picks her up and hugs her. “I love you, too.” His voice trembles.“It’s okay, Father. We have each other now and mother is in both of us.”He kisses her head.“Time you went to bed,” her father softly says.He puts her down and she scampers off to get washed and ready for bed.Clearing up everything he checks on his daughter. She is in bed waiting for her good night kiss. He tucks her in and bids her goodnight.Just as he is to leave, she tells him. “Mother told me she adopted (收养)me when I was a baby.”He stands at her bedroom door. Words fail him. Yes, he knew she was adopted.“I am really lucky for being loved by my parents, even if I am not really theirs.”“You trying to bring on the water works?” he tells her.She giggles, “Goodnight, Father. I love you.”“Love you, too.”His face lights up as he wipes his dampened eyes.The door closes and the child falls asleep dreaming of her mother.Sitting outside he pic ks up the diary and opens it and reads the first line: “I love you, my dearest, if only things could have been different…”1．What can we know about the couple’s relationship?A．They understood each other very well.

We cannot see them because they are so small, but they are everywhere.They live in the soil, the air, and in rivers and oceans. They grow on mountains and in caves. Some live in the ice at the north and south poles; some live where it is very hot. They are found throughout cities and in the country. They grow on other plants and animals. Some are even living on you, on your skin, hair, and inside your body, in your mouth, nose, and all through your intestines(肠).These tiny plants and animals are called microbes. The word microbe is made from two other words: micro, meaning small, and bios, meaning life. So, microbe means small life.Microbes have been on earth for a very long time.

They saw food that they kept too long change color and begin to smell bad. They saw cuts and wounds grow red and painful and become infected(感染). They saw old plants and leaves andtrees______on the forest floor and disappear into the soil. Such changes were a natural part of the world, but people did not understand them.

the Asian Culture Carnival(嘉年华),tears filled my eyes.It’s Zhang Yixing,the singer and dancer standing there for us young people in China,and the very one who stopped me from falling.Three years ago,my new school life began.As a junior boy from the countryside,I could hardly keep up.I tried,but still felt like an outsider.Nobody would pick me for teamwork.So I stayed in the corner,hanging my head low as if I didn’t care.There was a fear in me that all my school life would be colorless.Then on May4,I was“colorless”in Yixing’s book about his life.How could this be true for someone just named the youth idol(青年偶像)?I read the book again,smiling with the fun part of his childhood and touched by his pormise to his mum.Something wet my eyes when he joked about his trianing years in Korea.He doubled his practice,pushing himself so hard as to be called“the trainee(练习生)like god”.He said it probably meant“the trainee like mad”.I might have tried,but not as hard as he did.“Whenever I feel I might be falling,I tell myself to hold on until I find my moment.”Says Yixing.For me,this moment means a better self inside and a larger world outside.So I told myself I would also make a difference if I could hold on for a longer time.Luckily,every Youth Day after that,Yixing would be there on CCTV,encouraging me with his prograss.When someone asked him what color his training life was,Yixing smiled,“It’s colorless.I don’t know what color effort is.”But effort pays.Not he’s standing at the Asian Culture Carnival,and I know he is looking forward to something even bigger.27．When the writer just moved to the city,he__________________.A．enjoyed his new school life B．had a hard time at his new school C．stood outside the classroom D．wanted to go back to the countryside 28．Zhang Yixing was called“the trainee like god”because___________.A．he kept his promise to his mum B．he pushed everything away from him C．he was really good at telling jokes D．he spent so much time in practicing 29．The writer mainly wants to tell us that______________.A．sometimes people choose to live a life without colorB．we can make a difference if we work hard enoughC．great effort can make you a great singer and dancerD．school life can be full of colors if we read more books30．We can infer(推断)that the writer_____________.A．is ready for a trip around the world B．is leaving to sing and danceC．is expecting a better future for himself D．is writing a book about himselfCThis painting is called The Fighting Temeraire.Temeraire is the name of the big,old sailing ship that you can see on the left of the picture.People chose this picture to be the greatest painting in Britain.J.M.W.Turner painted it in1839.It shows the old sailing ship,the Temeraire,on the River Thames near London.There’s a small tugboat pulling the old ship.It’s in fact taking the Temeraire on its last journey.The old ship is going to the breaker’s yard.In the background we can see the sun setting.The picture,however,is more than just a painting of two boats in the evening.The artist wanted to show the end of an era(时代).The time of the beautiful,old sailing ships is coming to an end.That’s why we see this happening at sunset.In the little,brown tugboat we can see the new industrial era starting.The tugboat is small and dark and it’s making a lot of smoke,but it’s very strong,because it’s pulling the much bigger ship.The painting shows a real event.Turner watched the Temeraire taking its last journey up the Thames,but he changed some of the details.He painted the old ship white and gold so that it looks like a ghost.In fact,the real ship was black and yellow.We also see the sun setting behind the ship,but in fact,the ship travelled towards the sunset.However,Turner wanted to show the sun setting on the time of the beautiful old sailing ships.Turner painted The Fighting Temeraire when he was quite old,so perhaps he wanted to show the sun setting on his own life,too.He loved the painting and he never sold it.You can see it today in the National Gallery in London.31．The Fighting Temeraire_______.A．is the name of a big sailing ship B．was thought the best painting in Britain C．shows two nice new ships D．was painted by a famous young artist 32．The old ship was pulled to the yard______.A．to be painted new B．to be repaired C．to be broken up D．to be sold 33．What does the tugboat stand for according to the passage?A．The new industrial era.B．The beautiful old era.C．The painter’s own life.D．The white and gold ghost.34．What can we learn from the last two paragraphs?A．The color of the real sailing ship was white and gold.B．In the painting the sailing ship was going towards the sunset.C．Finally Turner sold this painting because he didn’t like it.D．Today the painting is kept in the National Gallery in London.DIn the state of Qin(秦国),there was a man called Shang Yang(商鞅).He was a statesman(政治家)and worked out many reforms(改革)for the state,like paying more attention to farming and giving rewards(报酬)to soldiers who were successful when at war.But these reforms were not easily carried out(执行)at first.Most people didn’t trust Shang Yang.In order to solve this problem,Shang Yang

pole to the north gate will get10gold pieces.”It was a simple job and the reward was so large.However,some time passed and no one stepped forward.They all thought S hang Yang was making a joke.Hearing no answer,Shang Yang stepped forward and said,“The reward now goes to50gold pieces.”This reward was unbelievably large.Finally,a man from the crowd came forward.He put the pole on his shoulders and walked to the north gate.True to his word,Shang Yang gave the man 50gold pieces.After that,the people of Qin were all talking about what Shang Yang did about the pole.
