One possible version:“Lei Feng has no ID card, coming back in March and going away in April”, which is exactly the reflection of learning from Lei Feng nowadays. Thus, here come those poor old people bathing for seven times or having their hair cut for five times one day and the streets cleaned for eight times by different groups of volunteers, especially on March 5th.From my point of view, learning from Lei Feng should not be a show. We are social beings, depending on each other to live on. I firmly believe that nobody can survive without any help from others. So it is necessary for us to learn how to help others without paying back from Lei Feng.Also, I don’t think learning from Lei Feng means doing a good deed on that special day. As students, in our daily life, picking up the litter on the floor, helping the desk mate to solve one math problem, or fetching a glass of hot water for a sick classmate are all good ways to learn from Lei Feng.一、【评分原则】①本题总分为30分，按5个档次给分。

They say that we can learn standard English and improve ourselves in spoken English in the long run. What’s more, this is a good chance for us to know more about foreign countries.However, most students, about 70%, don’t think it a go od idea to have a foreign teacher in our class just because we are high school students who are too busy with our lessons. Besides, it doesn’t mean every foreigner will certainly speak good English. Just think, do all Chinese speak Putonghua well? In addit ion, we don’t need to spend too much time on oral English, which hasn’t been included in the college entrance examinations so far.As far as I’m concerned, to be frank, I’d like to have one period per week instead of two.Yours,Li HuaLISTENING TEXT: Text 1M: Hi, Jean.

They dug a hole in the wall of the house.There lived many mice in the house. The woman in the moonlight saw a mouse crawl into the house. "Look! In comes one," she said to the man in the house. The thief was so frightened that he hurriedly crawled out of the house and said to the one waiting outside, "She found me when I was just in.” But the thief outside didn't believe him, so he said, "Let us two try to crawl into the house together." At that time two mice happened to crawl into the house, too. The woman saw the mice and shouted, "In come two. Catch them!" The two thieves were terribly frightened. The man in the house said, "You saw them come in but where are they? I will catch them tonight." The two thieves started running away at once.The thieves waited to make it clear whether they had been found or not. The next day they acted as men selling sweet potatoes and came to the house. The man and the woman were ploughing in their fields. The rein (缰绳) broke and the woman came home for a rope. She saw two men selling sweet potatoes and wanted to buy some. She picked out two which looked like mice. At that time the man couldn't wait for her any longer in the fields and he ran back from the fields to hurry her up.

Two Clever ThievesD. A Clever CoupleBOK, I admit it: emoticons(表情符号)are popular. Some people even think they are fun. Many seem unable to getthrough an e-mail or Instant Message chat sentence without using one. Some feel that they add feeling and character to otherwise cold digital communications.Some people, such as a Hollywood scriptwriter John Blumenthal, however, blast the use of emoticons as "infantile(幼稚)just like the people who use them". He believes that words themselves should be enough. "If you're funny, happy or sad, that should be apparent from the comment that goes before the emoticons," he argues.In the eyes of Blumenthal, the use of emoticons is a gender issue. "Men don’t use emoticons very much. Maybe not at all," he said, "Teenage girls and women seem to use them a lot. Maybe there’s an emoticon gene."It’s an interesting opinion, but it is not shared by all.In an interview with The New York Times, Dacher Keltner, professor of psychology at the University of California, said that emoticons are popular because our brains are programmed "to seek out representations of humanity". He believes that they are popular not because they are shortcuts for the lazy, but because they bring in something beyond language. They satisfy our needs to be with and communicate with people.All of these arguments may be somehow valid(正确). Each one of us will choose to communicate in our own way.I tried to use one once and felt like I was stealing into a primary school class that I had no place being in. I'd rather let my words do the talking.Friends, however, send me messages and e-mails full of emoticons. I have no problem with this. I don't regard any of my friends as lazy or immature. It's just a question of individuality.56. What does the underlined word "blast" in the second paragraph mean?A. clarifyB. criticizeC. supportD. approve57. Which of the following views would John Blumenthal agree with?A. It’s enough to use language in digital communication.B. Instant Message chatters are childish.C. Men never use emoticons.D. There is an emoticon gene in everybody.58. From the text, we can conclude that the author ______.A. feels he has no difficulty using emoticonsB. th inks emoticons don’t suit himC. encourages his friends to use emoticonsD. believes that emoticons are suitable for everyone59. What is the main point of the article?A. Advice on language used over the Internet.B. Arguments over the use of emoticons.C. The history of emoticons.D. Reasons for the popularity of emoticons.CWith spring fast approaching, the flu season is here. People can easily catch the flu bug and they try to fight against it with western medicine, traditional Chinese medicine or some homemade secret recipes. Yet some of these strategies are ineffective or even harmful, and the best way to fight the flu is to protect us from infection. So here are some good habits to protect people from being infected with flu from the very beginning．·During the day, keep the bedroom window open to let fresh air in．·Wash your face with cold water in the morning and wash your feet with hot water in the evening. This practice can help boost blood circulation and improve the body's resistance．·Do some exercises in the morning, such as jogging or shadowboxing for 10 minutes．·Rinse your mouth with salt water or tea every morning and every evening. This can help kill flu bacteria, clear phlegm and keep the mouth fresh．·Wear more clothes when it's cold and take some off when it's warm.·Get a bottle of vinegar or Chinese white wine at hand and smell it now and then. Their pungent smell can help people get refreshed and improve their body's resistance．·Drink two kinds of beverages before going to bed, which can help people stay away from the flu: soup made of radish(萝卜)and vinegar, and tea made of fresh ginger.·Close the doors and windows and put a pot of boiling vinegar in the room. Vinegar steam is a good way to kill flu bacteria in the air．60. Some people like washing their face with cold water in the morning and washing their feet with hot water in the evening perhaps because _______.A. they want to make themselves handsome or prettyB. they know it is the best way to kill flu bacteriaC. they have developed the good habit of livingD. they think it can strengthen blood circulation and improve their resistance61. According to the passage, we can know that the best way to fight the flu is to .A. avoid getting it from the very beginningB. take western medicine or traditional Chinese medicineC. use some homemade secret recipesD. drink two kinds of beverages before going to bed in winter62. What would be the best title for this passage?A. Spring And The FluB. The Causes Of Catching The FluC. Eight Habits To Keep The Flu AwayD. How To Cure The FluDThere seems never to have been a civilization without toys, but when and how they developed is unknown. They probably came about just to give children something to do.In the ancient world, as is today, most boys played with some kinds of toys and most girls with another. In societies where social roles are rigidly determined, boys pattern their play after the activities of their fathers and girls are being prepared, even in play, to step into the roles and responsibilities of the adult world.What is remarkable about the history of toys is not so much how they changed over the centuries but how much they have remained the same. The changes have been mostly in terms of craftsmanship, mechanics, and technology. It is the universality of toys with regard to their development in all parts of the world and their persistence to the present that is amazing. In Egypt, America, China, Japan and among the Arctic people, generally the same kinds of toys appeared. Differences depended on local customs and way of life because toys imitate their surrounding. Nearly every civilization had dolls, little weapons, toy soldiers, tiny animals and vehicles.Because toys can be generally regarded as a kind of art form, they have not been subject to technological leaps that characterize inventions for adult use. The progress from the wheel to the cart to the automobile is a direct line of ways up. The progress from a rattle(拨浪鼓) used by a baby in 3,000 BC to one used by an infant today, however, is not characterized by inventiveness. Each rattle is the product of the artistic tastes of the time and subject to the limitations of available materials.63. The reason why the toys most boys play with are different from those that girls play with is that ______.A. boys like to play with their fathers while girl with their mothersB. they like challenging activitiesC. most boys would like to follow their fathers' professionsD. their social roles are rigidly determined64. One aspect of "the universality of toys" lies in the fact that ______.A. the basic characteristics of toys are the same all over the worldB. technological advances have greatly improved the durability of toysC. the exploration of the universe has led to the creation of new kinds of toysD. the improvement of craftsmanship in making toys depends on the efforts of universities65. Regarded as a kind of art form, toys ______.A. reflect the pace of social progressB. changes a lot as time goes byC. are not characterized by technological progressD. also appeal greatly to adults66. The author uses the example of a rattle to show that________.A. it often takes a long time to introduce new technology into toy--makingB. even the simplest toys can reflect the progress of technologyC. even a simple toy can mirror the artistic tastes of the timeD. in toy--making there is a continuity in the use of materialsE"In wilderness(荒野) is the preservation of the world." This is a famous saying from a writer regarded as one of the fathers of environmentalism. The frequency with which it is borrowed mirrors a heated debate on environmental protection: whether to place wilderness at the heart of what is to be preserved.As John Sauven of Greenpeace UK points out, there is a strong appeal in images of the wild, the untouched; morethan anything else, they speak of the nature that many people value most dearly. The urge to leave the subject of such images untouched is strong, and the danger exploitation(开发) brings to such landscapes(景观) is real. Some of these wildernesses also perform functions that humans need — the rainforests, for example, store carbon in vast quantities. To Mr.Sauven, these "ecosystem services" far outweigh the gains from exploitation.Lee Lane, a visiting fellow at the Hudson Institute, takes the opposing view. He acknowledges that wildernesses do provide useful services, such as water conservation. But that is not, he argues, a reason to avoid all human presence, or indeed commercial and industrial exploitation. There are ever more people on the Earth, and they reasonably and rightfully want to have better lives, rather than merely struggle for survival. While the ways of using resources have improved, there is still a growing need for raw materials, and some wildernesses contain them in abundance. If they can be tapped without reducing the services those wildernesses provide, the argument goes, and there is no further reason not to do so. Being untouched is not, in itself, a characteristic worth valuing above all others.I look forward to seeing these views taken further, and to their being challenged by the other participants. One challenge that suggests itself to me is that both cases need to take on the question of spiritual value a little more directly. And there is a practical question as to whether wildernesses can be exploited without harm.This is a topic that calls for not only free expression of feelings, but also the guidance of reason. What position wilderness should enjoy in the preservation of the world obviously deserves much more serious thinking.67. John Sauven holds that_____.A. many people value nature too muchB. exploitation of wildernesses is harmfulC. wildernesses provide humans with necessitiesD. the urge to develop the ecosystem services is strong68. What is the main idea of Para. 3?A. The exploitation is necessary for the poor people.B. Useful services of wildernesses are not the reason for no exploitation.C. Wildernesses cannot guarantee better use of raw materials.D. All the characteristics concerning the exploitation should be treated equally.69. What is the author’s attitude towards this debate?A. Sceptical.B. Disapproving.C. Objective.D. Optimistic.70.
