Until his final few days, I grew up completely lacking(缺少) hugs. Neither of my parents was the cuddly(令人想拥抱的) type. Greetings including kissing embarrassed me, and hugging generally just made me feel 1 .Then one hug changed all that. One month before my 40th birthday my dad had a heart disease. As he came round, days later, he grabbed me and 2 me so hard that I had to push to keep my head from pressing down on his chest.It was a hug to make up for all those we had 3 had. Days later as he slowly started to gain strength he told me for the first time that he loved me, and through my 4 I told him I loved him too.I began planning how to bake(烘焙) him better -- with carrot 5 , victoria sponges, jelly and ice cream. And I imagined wheeling him 6 the park and feeding him home-made goodies. Then he died.I felt cheated. All my life I had wondered whether my dad loved me -- I doubted it. Just as I got proof that he did, he 7 .My parents split up when I was two years old and, 8 I had monthly contact with my dad, usually, he, my bitter stepmother and I counted the hours until I could go home again.The weekends at my father's house felt 9 . I didn't have any clear close father- daughter 10 to cling (依恋) to and recall. Most of them were of uncomfortable times together, but I missed him being alive very much, To a child, a hug 11 so many things. It tells you that the person hugging you loves you, and12 for you. A hug also confirms that you are a lovable being. Months after dad's death I somewhat realized that his lack of hugs said more than about him than me. My father was not a(n) 13 man and I was, therefore, perhaps, a lovable being.Once I realized my feelings changed from those of a needy child to ones of a proud daughter. Looking at my father more objectively (客观) 14 me to view him clearly: he was a man of few words but kind and modest, Dad's hug had a deep effect on me. It carried me along a path from a 15 to an adult, at last I am my own woman and one who loves nothing better than a good old-fashioned hug.1．A．excited B．pleased C．proud D．uncomfortable2．A．beat B．kissed C．hugged D．praised3．A．once B．never C．ever D．often4．A．smiles B．tears C．laughs D．words5．A．cakes B．cream C．noodles D．vegetables6．A．on to B．out of C．through D．towards7．A．passed away B．passed out C．passed on D．passed down8．A．because B．while C．for D．as9．A．warm B．cold C．hot D．cool10．A．relations B．memories C．stories D．hugs11．A．speaks B．talks C．reminds D．says12．A．looks B．searches C．cares D．longs13．A．expressive B．talkative C．impressive D．attractive14．A．forced B．asked C．allowed D．ordered15．A．daughter B．father C．child D．studentⅢ. 语法填空12、A long time ago, there was an emperor.

There are many good books that will help you learn. To get started, ask your teacher or a librarian for some suggestions. You can also look at some good websites with information about the environment and climate change. Climate change may be a big problem, but there are many little things we can do to make a difference.Driving a car or using electricity is not wrong. We just have to be smart about it. Some people use less energy by carpooling . For example, four people can ride together in one car instead of driving four cars to work. Whenever we useelectricity, we put greenhouse gases (气体)into the air. By turning off lights, the television, and the computer when they aren't needed, you can help a lot.Don't buy products that use too much energy. Some products, like certain cars, are made specially to save energy. These cars can travel longer on a smaller amount of gasoline. They don't pollute as much, either. Products like computers, TVs, and VCRs with the ENERGY STAR label (标签) are made to save energy. Buying products with these labels will help protect the environment. Buy recyclable products instead of non-recyclable ones. Recyclable products are usually made out of things that have already been used. It usually takes less energy to make recyclable products than to make new ones. So when you go shopping, look for the recycle mark on the package-three arrows that make a circle. The less energy we use, the better.1．The passage is mainly written for .A．car producers B．school students C．parents2．The underlined word “carpooling” in Paragraph 2 most probably means .A．sharing a car B．pulling a car C．selling a car3．From the passage, we can learn that .A．turning off the electricity when it isn't needed can save a lot of energyB．electricity will cause great trouble to our environmentC．cars using less energy will not put greenhouse gases into the air4．If you use recyclable products instead of new ones, you can spend .A．more money B．less energy C．more energy5．Which of the following can be the writer's opinion?A．No pains, no gains.B．Rome was not built in one day.C．Little things can make a big difference.B14、There is an old story about a king and his daughter. The king asked his daughter how much she loved him. She said that she loved him as much as she loved salt. Her answer made the king sad. Salt is a simple thing, and it is very common. So the king thought his daughter didn't care about him. But the king was wrong. Salt might be common, but it is very important. Throughout history, salt has caused wars. So why do people care so much about salt?Salt has many uses. Our bodies need salt. If we don't have enough, our body can't work properly. We put salt on icy roads to make them safe. We also use salt to produce other products. Products like paper, glass, rubber and soap depend on salt. But for many years, salt's most important job was preserving(保存)food.Like other living things, most bacteria(细菌)that cause food to spoil need water to survive. Salt absorbs large amounts of water, so most bacteria cannot live in a salty environment. As a result, salt has the ability to preserve almost anything. For much of human history, this ability has made salt treasured. Every ancient culture from Egypt to China depended on salt. Even today, we compare hardworking, useful people to salt by calling them "the salt of the earth".For centuries, salt was also hard to get. The combination(组合)of usefulness and rarity made it extremely expensive. Since almost everyone needed salt, the salt trade was an important business. Salt could even be used like money. In fact, the word salary(工资)comes from the word salt. And valuable people are still described as being "worth their salt." Today, salt is easy to get. It is no longer expensive, but it is still both important and useful.1．In the first paragraph, the writer is trying to make readers .A．become interested in the old story B．understand the importance of saltC．fall in love with salt D．understand the daughter's love to salt2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A．Salt is very common, but it has many uses.B．Salt was so valuable that it was once used like money.C．Although salt is cheap now, it's still important and usefulD．We can use salt to produce all the products we need.3．What's the meaning of the underlined word "rarity"?A．the quality of being rare B．the quality of being importantC．the quality of being common D．the quality of being usefuC1．Which book is the most popular one among the buyers?A．Ten Little Fingers. B．Bookmarks by Phillips.C．The Mystery of Breathing. D．The Best of the Song Books.2．You read this advertisement most probably _______.A．in a novel B．in a magazineC．on the Internet D．in a newspaper3．If you buy four books (one for each), how much can you save?A．$92.00. B．$26.00.C．$66.00. D．$110.00.4．Who is the writer of The Mystery of Breathing?A．Annie Keble B．Patricia CornwellC．Peril Klaus D．Harlan Cohen5．How much will you save if you buy The Best of the Song Books and Bookmarks by Phillips? A．＄39 B．＄13C．＄52 D．＄40D16、Spring is here. Did you plant trees on Tree-Planting Day? Everyone knows that climate change is a serious problem these days. People have a lot of work to do in order to prevent it. One of the best ways is to plant more trees.According to a study by NA SA, the Earth’s green leaf area has increased by 5 percent, or over 5 million square kilometers since 2000. China is responsible for 25 percent of the increase. That’s about one square of the size of the whole Amazon rainforest.Over the past twenty years, China has made great efforts to green the land in order to fight soil erosion (水土流失) and air pollution. It is one of the most successful countries in greening the desert.For example since 1962, China had been planting trees in Saihanba in Hebei province. It was once a barren(贫瘠) area. After overcoming many difficulties, foresters have turned the area into China’s largest man-made forest. Another example is the Kubuqi Desert, which is near the Y ellow River in Inner Mongolia. It was once the source(来源) of sandstorms in Beijing. But now, about one third of the Kubuqi Desert is covered with trees, and sandstorms are less common. Mu Us Desert was also known for its sandstorms many years ago. But now, one-quarter of the desert has been turned into forest.In a w ord, planting trees is really important to us. Let’s take part in planting trees to make our earth greener and more beautiful.1．The reason why China makes great efforts to green the land is to _____A．prevent climate change B．plant more treesC．reduce water pollution D．stop the soil from being washed away2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．China succeeds in greening the desertB．Planting tree is the best way to prevent the climate changeC．The green leaf area of China has increased by 0.25 million square kilometers since 2000.D．Mu Us Desert cause the sandstorms in Beijing3．It is _______ for foresters to turn Saihanba into the forestA．dangerous B．exciting C．difficult D．impossibleE17、There are many colors in nature. But do you k now if a color has weight? I think you’ll say “no”. But I am afraid you are wrong. If you don’t believe, you may do a small experiment.First, put two objects with the same weight into two boxes. Then cover the box. Third, wrap one box with a red piece of paper, the other with a white piece of paper. OK. Now hold the boxes with your hand one by one．It is certain that you will think the red one is a little heavier.Why do you think so? A scientist found that different colors have different weight in a man’s mind. So he did many tests and at last he got the result. That is to say, every color has its own weight in our mind' and their order is the same. The heaviest color is red, then blue, green, orange, yellow and white.The scientist told us that colors also have smell. Can you smell the color? Of course not. Then why did the scientist say so? That is because every color stands for a kind of light with a certain wavelength. It reaches our brain through sense organs.According to this discovery, scientists say that people accept the colors they like, and refuse the colors they hate. So your body and mind will be healthy by using the colors you like. Or you’ll be nervous or even get ill. For example, if you stay in a room with red windows, wallpapers and furni ture for two hours, you’ll feel you have been there for four hours. But if the room is blue, you’ll feel you have been there for only an hour. Another example, if a person walks out of a red room and into a blue room, his temperature will fall. That means our body temperature will change with different colors.1．The purpose of the second paragraph is to tell us __________.A．a red box is heavier than a white one B．a color has weight in one’s mindC．white paper is lighter than red paper D．you can know the weight of a color by holding it2．Why did the scientist say colors have smell?A．Because people can sense the light from colors.B．Because we can smell colors with our nose.C．Because every color has its own sweet smell.D．Because every color can give off light of the same length.3．If a person walks from a blue room to a red room, his body temperature will __________.A．rise B．fall C．stay the same D．change now and then4．It can be implied from the text that __________.A．colors have orders in weightB．colors can change the weight of an objectC．people would stay longer in a room with red windowsD．colors can affect our mood and health5．This passage is probably a __________.A．book review B．fiction novel C．fairy tale D．science reportF18、One morning Fan Xing discovered that her classroom had changed. The 13-year-old saw that the deskswere no longer in rows(排), but pushed together to make six bigger desks.The new arrangement(排列) was part of a reform(改革) at Fan's school, Changsha Daotian Middle School in Hunan. About five weeks ago, more than 2,000 junior students at the school began studying in this way, with six to eight students sitting in groups."This reform is designed to provide students with easier ways to study and more chances for discussion,"said Liu Xu,na school head teacher. "Our school hopes it can improve students' abilities(能力) for self-study as well as teamwork."The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to."I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days," said Fan. But soon she and her classmates got used to it." Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),"said Fan. "What's more,we can express our own ideas and learn others' through discussion. It's a better way to study."Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying. The 14-year-old said, "Group members first discuss,and then explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class.""The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,"said Feng."We can also improve our friendships."The reform has asked for more from teachers.They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class."It is a big challenge to teach in such short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes,"English teacher Wang Jing said."We have to improve methods to teach better. We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them."Wang said that some students always talk. The teachers have to move continuously in the classroom to keep them quiet and get them to concentrate on class."It demands more, but I believe it will pay off,"Wang added.1．From the first paragraph of the passage, we know________.A．Fan Xing was a 13-year-old studentB．Fan Xing's classroom was changed in rowsC．Fan Xing's desk was no longer in her classroom2．The purpose of the new classroom arrangement is to________.A．make the students feel fresh and interestedB．provide students with more chances for teamworkC．divide big classes into small classes3．How did the new classroom arrangement help the students' study according to the passage?A．By stopping loud students using simple gestures.B．By giving students more chances to work in groups.C．By making students explain difficult questions after school.4．What is the big challenge for the teachers in classroom teaching in the reform?A．The teachers have to improve their studying methods.B．The teachers must prepare more interesting topics for exercises.C．The teachers are only given 15 minutes to teach in one period(节) of the class.5．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The students in Changsha Daotian Middle School are sitting in groups when having classes.B．The reform in the school is aimed at improving the students' abilities for self-study.C．Studying in groups gives the students more confidence to concentrate on class.Ⅴ.书面表达19、我们每天都要做很多事情，有些还很棘手。

People use them on trains and airplanes, in airports and hotels. These laptops connect people to their workplace. In the United States today, laptops also connect students to their classrooms. Westlake College in Virginia will start a laptop computer program that allows students to do schoolwork anywhere they want. Within five years, each of the 1500 students at the college will receive a laptop. The laptops are part of a $10 million computer program at Westlake, a 110-year-old college. The students will be able to use e-mail to “speak” with their te achers, their classmates, and their families. However, the most important part of the laptop program is that students will be able to use computers without going to computer labs. They can work with it at home, in a fast-food restaurant or under the trees-anywhere at all!Because of the many changes in computer technology , laptop use in higher education, such as colleges and universities, is workable. As laptops become more powerful, they become more similar to desktop computers. In addition, the portable( 便携式的) computers can connect students to not only the Internet, but also libraries and other resources（资源）. Statehigher-education officials are studying how laptops can help students. State officials are also testing laptop programs at other universities, too.At Westlake College, more than 60 percent of the staff(职员) use computers. The laptops will allow all teachers to use computers in their lessons. As one Westlake teacher said, “ Here we are in the middle of Virginia and we’re giving students a window on the world. They can see everything and do everything.”1．Why is the word “speak” in the second paragraph in quotation marks(引号)?A．They don’t really talk.B．They use the computer language.C．Laptops have speakers.D．None of the above reasons is correct.2．Which of the following is true about Westlake College?A．All teachers use computers.B．1500 students have laptops now.C．It is an old college in America.D．Students there can do everything.3．A window on the world in the last paragraph means that students can ________.A．attend lectures on information technologyB．travel around the worldC．get information from around the worldD．have free laptops4．What can we infer（推断）from the passage?A．The program is successful.B．The program is not workable.C．The program is too expensive to carry out.D．We don’t know the result yet.C15、All living things on Earth need water to live. Yet humans are facing serious water problems. According to the United Nations, today over 113 million people live without a safe water supply close to home.To remind people of the importance of water, the UN first set up World Water Day in 1443. It is on Mar 22 each year. From Mar 22 to 23 is also the China Water Week. The first year’s theme is “Waste water”. It tried to call people to reuse waste water instead of wasting it.In Australia people make good use of waste water. Most Australians have a grass lawn around their home instead of washing the car in the street. Many of them wash it on the lawn to keep the grass longer so that it covers the ground and reduce evaporation.Rainwater may seem useless to you. But you can also reuse it. People in Germany collect rainwater to wash their toilets. Most houses in the country that are built in the last few years have rainwater collection devices（设备）. Rainwater is collected from the root, and then linked to the toilet. But if you don’t have the device just put a bucket（桶）under your roof when it rains.Water makes up 21 percent of Earth’s surface. But we can only use a very small part of it. On ly about 3 percent of the world’s water is fresh water. It’s in lakes, rivers and underground.Over 30 percent of the waste water in the world goes back into the nature. It has not been cleaned and pollutes the rivers and lakes. Unsafe water makes around 342,000 people die each year.By 2030, about half of the world’s population could be facing water problem. By 2050, as many as seven billion people across the world could not have enough water supplies. The world’s population might be 4.3 billion by then.1．From paragraph 1, we can learn that___________ .A．people around the world are facing serious water problems.B．water is always the most important in our school livesC．saving water can help us better improve the environment.D．people in different places have different habits to use water.2．The China Water Week in 2012 tries to___________ .A．collect rainwater to wash their toiletsB．remind people of the importance of waterC．put a bucket under your roof when it rains.D．call people to reuse waste water instead of wasting it.3．The word “reduce” in Paragraph 3 most probably means “___________ .”.A．sit down B．cut down C．put down D．write down4．What’s the writer’s purpose of writing the passage?A．To share his rich knowledge about water.B．To warn more people to save water.C．To show how water problems change the world.D．To tell people how to discover safe water supply.5．Which of the following would be the title of the passage?A．Water in the world has become less and less.B．Unsafe water makes so many people die.C．Our planet will face serious water problems.D．Learning to save water to protect our planet.D16、In fact,almost every country in the world is named after one of these four things: a tribe (部落) ，a feature (特征)of the land,a place or an important person.Here are some examples.Tribe namesEngland is in good company with the lion's share (about one third) of the world's countries named after an early tribe.Important peoplePHILIPPEINES---Named by Spanish explorer(探险家Ruy Lopez de Villalobos,in honour of King Philip II of Spain in 1542.Land featuresICELAND---This name is translated as" Land of Ice",perhaps for clear reasons,from the ancient language of Old Norse.PlacesJAPAN- -Nippon,which is the name commonly used by Japanese,means" land of the rising sun" and its place being to the east of China.1．The names of most countries of the world are named afterA．important people B．tribe names C．land features D．places2．Which country is named after the land feature?A．Australia.

Sadly, the young man was not so clever, and his teacher and the other apprentices were always telling him he had no talent for making puppets, and that he would achieve nothing in making puppets.Even so, he enjoyed it so much that he worked day after day to improve. Despite his efforts, they would always findsomething wrong with his puppets, and the poor puppets ended up being thrown out of the workshop.The you ng man wasn’t going to give up, so he decided that from then on he would spend all his time making just one kind of puppet. Whenever he found a fault in his puppet he would throw it away and start again. Years passed, and with each new attempt his puppet became a little bit better. By that time, his puppet was much better than anything that the other apprentices could make, but he kept making improvements. Living like that, the man wasn’t making any money, and many people laughed at how poor he was.By the time he was an old man, his puppet was truly wonderful. Finally, after so many years of work, he finished work on his puppet, and said, “I can’t find anything wrong with it. This time it is perfect”. And for the first time in all those years, instead of throwing his puppet away, he put it up on the shelf, feeling truly satisfied and happy.It is well-known that perfect puppet, Pinocchio, came to life after that, had a thousand adventures, and gave that old man — whose name was Geppetto — more joy than any other famous puppet-maker had ever got from any of their creations.1．Why did the young man want to learn to make puppets according to Paragraph One?A．Because he liked it.B．Because everyone thought he was talented.C．Because his teacher told him to do so.D．Because he was not clever, he had to make a living2．What was the ending of the poor puppets made by the young man?A．They were kept by the young man.B．They were thrown by the young man.C．They were shared by others.D．They were collected by his teacher.3．What can we learn about Geppetto from the third paragraph?A．He was laughed at by the others.B．He could only make one kind of puppet.C．He had collected all the puppets he made.D．He made a lot of money by selling puppets.4．When the puppet, Pinocchio, was made, ________.① Geppetto was already an old man② Geppetto was satisfied with it③ Geppetto was much happier④ Geppetto planned to throw it awayA．①②③B．①②④C．①③④D．②③④5．What is the main idea of this passage?A．Many hands make light work.B．No one can do two things at once.C．A good beginning makes a good ending.D．Nothing is impossible to a willing heart.B14、Buying Is Doing?How important is shopping to you? How much time do you spend buying things? And how much time do you spend organizing these things in your home? In the future, how much time will you spend in movie theaters, at amusement parks, at shopping malls, or at convenience stores? When you add it all up, you will probably see you spend a lot of your life consuming（消费）things. Consuming products is not necessarily bad. However, if we spend too much time doing it, we should look at it carefully.Imagine that you have a week off from school. Y ou don’t have to go to class. However, in this week, you cannot spend any money — no shopping, no movies, no eating out. How would you spend your time?What things would bring you happiness? Perhaps you would take a walk with your best friend. Perhaps you would help a child read. Or you might spend time with your family.When we look back, it is likely that non-consuming experiences like these will be our most important memories. Why? Non-consuming activities are active, not passive. They don’t come in a package. Y ou make the experience yourself. For example, each person who reads to a child will have a different experience. The experience changes with the reader, the child, and the book. Similarly, when you have a conversation with a friend, you are actively creating an experience. The conversation that you have with your friend cannot be experienced or recreated by anyone else. However, if you watch a movie with a friend, you will each have a package experience. It requires no action and little interaction between the two of you.The environment we live in encourages us to have packaged experiences. We feel that we must consume because we believe that buying is doing. However, we can start a personal revolution（变革）against consumerism. How? By consuming less, we can ask ourselves what experiences bring us the greatest satisfaction. Then we can organize our lives so that we have more of those kinds of experiences.1．If consuming products takes too much time, we should ____________.A．spend less money B．think about it carefullyC．organize our things D．go to convenience stores2．According to the passage, the writer believes that _____________.A．we can say no to consumerism by consuming lessB．buying things can bring us the greatest satisfactionC．the environment seldom influences our shopping choicesD．consuming experiences will be our most important memories3．What is the writer’s main purpose in writing this passage?A．To introduce some ways of enjoying our spare time.B．To encourage people to have more active experiences.C．To explain reasons behind people’s shopping behavior.D．To share his personal experience in consuming products.C15、I grew up in New Hampshire, a small town in South Canada, where in my father’s words for the seasons were “Spring, Summer, Fairtime and Winter!”At that time, a week-long fair was held in the town every autumn. Thousands of people from other towns came to sell and buy things. It was the busiest time of the year.When “Fairtime” came, my grandma became the busiest person of the family. Grandma was a kind old lady. She was good at cooking. All her relatives li ked the food she cooked. During “Fair time”, they would come to live in her house and have meals there. Grandma was always happy to look after them.Year after year, many people moved to big cities. There was no longer “Fairtime”. Grandma became very old and was gradually going blind. My parents and I moved to live with Grandma. We did our best to make her life comfortable.I was at high school then. What I often did at home was to help Grandma with the daily newspaper’s crossword puzzle. However, she didn’t look happy. She often sat in her room for hours, without saying a word.To attract（吸引）people to move back, the Town Hall decided to reopen the fair. One day, when I came back from school, I saw Grandma wearing her glasses, washing the dishes in the kitchen. With a big smile on her face, she looked much younger. She told me that her two nieces(侄女) would come. “They said the food I cooked was very delicious and they wanted to stay in my house again,” Grandma said happily. “They will stay here for one week and we can have a big party. That must be the busiest week I’ve had in years!”I suddenly realized that Grandma didn’t want to be looked after. She wanted to be “useful” and helpful.根据短文内容，选择最佳答案。

We’ve learned to respect people who work very hard to do 1 things, like learning to tie shoes.My eight-year-old son, Brian, wanted to win an award(奖，奖金) by learning to tie his own shoes. He was given ten days to prepare for the goal. Because Brian has Down syndrome(唐氏综合症), our whole family 2 him. Days passed and he could not do it and he cried. We cried with him. The day came for the meeting. We were worried about our lack of ability to teach such a simple task and spoke 3 about not taking him to the meeting that night.

But before I did that, his older sister 5 a new idea.＂Brian,＂she softly asked, ＂why don’t you try closing your eyes? See if you can tie your shoes in your imagination.

People often use it to describe very active children. But today we tell about an invention called the soccket, that is a real soccer ball of energy. Julia Silverman explains that in fact the soccket is a portable generator(便携式发电机).Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews developed the soccket as part of a group project for an engineering class at Harvard University.There are mechanisms(装置) in a soccket. When you kick, hit or throw it, energy is then kept in it by these mechanisms instead of disappearing into the environment.Then the user can put something directly into the ball, like a lamp, or a mobile phone charger so that they can get energy from it.For every fifteen minutes of the game play, the soccket can provide enough electricity(电) for an LED lamp for three hours, and the ball can store(储藏) up to 24 hours’ electricity.The International Energy Association reported last year that nearly one and a half billion people in the world had no electricity to use, and most of them live in sub-Saharan Africa and in India and other countries in Asia.Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews both had experiences in developing countries before they began the project. They knew that power shortages are a serious problem in really areas.There’s an energy crisis in the world. One out of every five pe ople in the world don’t have any electricity. And besides that, there are a lot of health problems because what people use instead of the electricity are harmful choices like kerosene(煤油) lamps, which produce a lot of smoke.Julia Silverman says the soccket ball is one small solution(解决方法) to a big problem.Jessica Matthews and Julia Silverman hope their soccket ball will shine more light on the problem of power shortages. It offe rs people a chance to put their energy into the world’s most popular sport and get some energy in return.1．From the passage, we know the soccket is ________.A．an active child B．an invention C．a lamp D．a mobile phone2．If you play the soccket for half an hour, it can provide an LED lamp with electricity for ________.A．fifteen minutes B．half an hour C．six hours D．three hours3．The underlined word ＂crisis＂in the passage means ________.A．a time of safety B．a time of difficulty C．a time of success D．a time of pride4．We can infer(推断) from the passage that ________.A．Julia Silverman has never been to developing countries beforeB．Active children like to play soccketC．kicking a soccket can let the energy disappear into the environmentD．people are expected to get some energy by playing soccket5．The best title for the passage should be ＂________＂.A．The only way to produce electricity B．The best way to solve energy crisisC．A soccer ball that gives energy D．An invention changing the worldB14、Clara sits at her desk deep in thought. She stares at the math problem in front of her desperately trying to remember how to solve it, but as she sits there her long list of homework plays over in her head, and she becomes overwhelmed. She bites her lip thinking and thinking. Then she hears a song on the radio. As she turns up the music, a wave of calm spreads over her body, she closes her eyes and listens to the music.When the song ends, Clara’s eyes open and she turns off the radio. She looks again at the troublesome question and sighs, “I remember how to do this now,”she says to herself. Then she finishes the problem, but this time calmer than before.According to NPR news, 45% of teens say they are stressed by school pressures, such as homework and grades. High school, and all of the honors and AP courses, can stress out teens like Clara to the point of exhaustion, but it doesn’t have to be this way. Lots of students can use stress relievers to simmer down during their school day. Music can be one of those reliefs.When the body is stressed, it releases cortisol (释放皮质醇), a life sustaining adrenal hormone (肾上腺荷尔蒙) nicknamed “the stress hormone”. By playing music, students stop the flow (流动) of cortisol released from their body, therefore returning to their normal, non-stressed self quicker than someone who didn’t hear or play any music.When returning to this state, teens can think more clearly, with their stress gone. Music does not only calm the stressed mind, it develops creativity, as well as improving math and reading skills. A music class can help students who are stressed and give them an hour of relaxation during their day. This can help high schoolers have a clear mind to concentrate on their schoolwork. Adding music to a teen’s day can help them become less str essed and finally help them with their courses, making a smarter generation.Now, I know you’re thinking, “What about kids who find playing a musical instrument hard or boring? How would taking a music class help them?” Well, even though playing an instrument doesn’t necessarily help all teens, it is agreed that there are very few teens who do not listen to music. This shows that all students, in their own way, like hearing music throughout their day. The music that they listen to calms them and gives them reassurance (保证) that they can make it through their schoolwork. That being said, all schools should have a required hour of ‘relaxation’ time when high schoolers would listen to music, do easy homework, and calm themselves down after their long school day.Music helps kids in their education, providing them with a brighter future and ensuring that they take care of their generation, the generation before them, and the generations to come.1．The words “becomes overwhelmed” in Paragraph 1 probably mean “________”.A．loses confidence B．feels disappointedC．can not think clearly D．isn’t sure about the answers2．What can we learn from the passage?A．Music helps students to be more creative.B．Few students can relax themselves at school.C．Adding music to a teen’s day stops them from studying.D．Music speeds up the flow of cortisol released from the body.3．According to Paragraph 5, we know that ________.A．taking a music class is hard and boringB．all teens listen to music in their own wayC．playing an instrument is necessary for all teensD．all schools have a required hour of ‘relaxation’ time4．What is the best title of the passage?A．The Bright Future of MusicB．The Way of Calming DownC．The Calming Power of MusicD．The Way of Solving ProblemsC15、Have y ou ever thought about seeing the world for free? Although it may sound impossible, there’s a growing community that is making that dream one step closer.The community is called Couchsurfing. The idea is that people open their homes up to travelers for free, and in exchange both people will learn from each other.Instead of paying a lot of money staying in hotels, living with locals is both cheap and authentic(正宗的). Maybe you’ll find a hidden attraction in the city. It may be a good place where people like to visit. This is also your chance to ask what life in their country is really like.It also works as a culture exchange. For example，if you play the guitar and your host is a great cook, teach him or her how to play to say thank you for the dinner. This type of exchange is popular.But what are some manners of being a good Couchsurfer? First, be careful about cultural taboos(禁忌). For example, if you eat with Indians, never use your left hand. In Indian culture, left hands are used for the toilet. Also, when you are going to leave, it’s a good idea to prepare a sma ll gift.

The new arrangement took some time for students to get used to."I was too curious(好奇) about it for the first two days,"said Fan.But soon she and her classmates got used to it."Now our class is quieter because we can stop loud students with some simple gestures(手势),"said Fan."What's more,we can express our own ideas and learn others' through discussion.It's a better way to study."Feng Yu likes this new classroom arrangement very much and has made some progress studying.The 14-year-old said,"Group members first discuss,and then explain the solutions or answers to difficult questions in front of the whole class.""The discussion gives us more confidence to make speeches,"said Feng."We can also improve our friendships."The reform has asked for more from teachers.They have no more than 15 minutes to teach in class."It is a big challengeto teach in such short time the lessons which should be taught in 45 minutes,"English teacher Wang Jing said."We have to improve methods to teach better.We must prepare some interesting topics and exercises before class so that students can discuss them."Wang said that some students always talk.The teachers have to move continuously in the classroom to keep them quiet and get them to concentrate on class."It demands more,but I believe it will pay off,"Wang added.1．The purpose of the new classroom arrangement is to________.A．make the students feel fresh and interested B．divide big classes into small classesC．make more room for new students D．provide students with more chances for teamwork2．How did the new classroom arrangement help the students' study according to the passage?A．By stopping loud students using simple gestures.B．By giving students more chances to work in groups.C．By making students explain difficult questions after school.D．By giving students more confidence to improve friendship.3．What is the big challenge for the teachers in classroom teaching in the reform?A．The teachers have to improve their studying methods.B．The teachers must prepare more interesting topics for exercises.C．The teachers are only given 15 minutes to teach in one period(节) of the class.D．The teachers have to move about in the classroom to keep the students quiet.4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．The students in Changsha Daotian Middle School are sitting in groups when having classes.B．The reform in the school is aimed at improving the students' abilities for self-study.C．Studying in groups gives the students more confidence to concentrate on class.D．The new classroom arrangement also brings some new challenges to the teachers.F18、What do you do when you feel unhappy? Do you listen to music? Do you talk to a friend?Maybe next time you feel sad, you should try going outside if it is sunny. Doctors know that how much sunlight we get can change how we feel. Scientists learned this by interviewing people who live in different parts of the world. In the far north, in Alaska or Finland, for example, the days are very short in the winter. People living in these places say that they often feel unhappy in the winter. In the south, where there are more daylight hours, few people say they are unhappy in the winter. The reason is the amount of sunlight these people get each day. Sunlight changes the chemicals in our bodies, and these chemicals can change the way we feel. A couple of hours of strong light or light from a special lamp can helpyour body make the chemicals that make us feel happy.Another way to feel happier is to get some exercise. Just like sunlight, regular exercise helps our bodies make certain chemicals, which make us feel happier. In addition, exercise helps people sleep better and lack of sleep often makes people feel unhappy. Exercise also helps you get rid of stress. When you are angry or upset about something, exercise is a good way to get those bad feelings out of you.1．Why do people in the far north feel unhappy more often than people in the south?A．Because they can’t go outside.B．Because they get less sunlight.C．Because the weather is too cold.D．Because the summer is too short.2．How can sunlight change the way you feel?A．On a sunny day, you can play outside.B．Sunlight makes you less tired.C．Sunlight increases your body temperature.D．Sunlight helps your body make certain chemicals.3．What does Paragraph 2 mainly tell us?A．It is better to live in the south.B．Southern people feel much happier.C．More sunlight can make us happier.D．Northern people often feel unhappy.4．What is the best title for the passage?A．Why Is Sunlight Good For Y ou?B．How Can Exercise Help You?C．Ways to Feel Happier.D．Functions (功能) of Exercising More.Ⅴ.书面表达19、第二部分书面表达上星期，学校就学生的作业量问题要求各班召开家长会进行讨论。

Is your neighbour, Mrs Lu, bringing you enough books to read? I hope so. You’d love our school library, Grandma. There are so many books on all kinds of subjects. The other day I found a book about engineering. I couldn’t really understand it but I hope to learn more about th is topic sometime. This term I have three new subject classes, so I think I’ll tell you about them.I study biology. It is a very interesting subject. I’m learning all about the human body, where everything is and what it doe s. Did you know that we have a kissing muscle? It’s called ‘orbicularis’ and it’s a circle muscle that closes your mouth and moves your lips forward. I love biology. It’s so interesting! Another new subject is religion (宗教). I didn’t think I would like this one, but actually it is very interesting to hear how different people worship (崇拜). We are learning about lots of religions from all over the world, not only Asia. My other new subject is Spanish. It’s really difficult to learn a new language but I know it will b e useful for me in the future, if I want to travel around the world. Spanish is one of the official languages of the European Union and the United Nations. I’ve learnt that Spanish is not only spoken in Europe but in South America too. Countries like Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and M exico also speak Spanish. You know I’ve always wanted to go to Mexico, so if I can speak Spanish it would be really useful.Did you study these subjects when you were at school? I suppose subject choice changes over time, doesn’t it? I’ll come to vi sit you again in the next holiday, which I think is in eight weeks’ time. I’ll bring you some of my new books if you like. I hope you can write back soon and tell me all the village news. I miss you very much.Lots of love,Sara1．From the letter we can know that Grandma’s leg was ________.A．improving B．lost C．getting worse D．hurt2．The writer has learnt a lot except ________ since she began to study biology.A．the human body B．a kissing muscleC．orbicularis D．circles3．Which of the following is Not True according to the passage?A．Sara knows little about engineering.B．Sara thinks Spanish is useful but not easy to learn.C．Grandma probably doesn’t like reading books very much.D．The subjects Sara learns are different from the ones her grandma did.B14、The Chinese are very generous when it comes to educating their children. Not caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or foreign countries. They also make their children take after-school classes. The Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it is. In the countryside, even poor parents are willing to buy computers for their children.But in fact, the best early education that parents can give their children is usually very cheap. They should teach their children the most important skills to help them become confident, happy and clever.Parents can achieve this by teaching children practical skills like cooking, washing and doing other chores. Teaching children to cook will improve many skills that the y will need later in life. Cooking needs patience and time. It’s an enjoyable but difficult experience. A good cook always tries to improve his cooking skills, so he will learn to work hard and finish his job successfully. His result, a great dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence.Some old machines, such as a broken radio or a TV set that you give your child to play with, will make him interested. He will spend hours looking at them and trying to fix them. Perhaps your child will become an engineer when he grows up because these activities can teach a child to think. And that is the most important.1．How do Chinese parents usually deal with their children’s education?A．All of them send their children abroad.B．They all buy computers for their children.C．They all let their children study in the best schools.D．They always try their best to give their children a better education.2．What does the underlined word “this” refer to?A．Teaching children the most important skills.B．Providing children with a better education.C．Helping children become confident, happy and clever.D．Providing children with enjoyable and relaxing experiences.3．What can we know from the passage?A．In China, most children are interested in after-school classes.B．For children, cooking is one of the most important skills.C．All parents like to use old machines to teach children to think. D．Most parents educate their children by teaching them to do the chores. 4．What’s the main idea of the passage?A．Parents should know how to educate their children better. B．Parents should pay attention to their children’s school education. C．Paren ts are used to spending lots of money on their children’s education. D．Chinese children need to learn to do the chores when they are young.C15、1．What time do the competitors have the kite competitions?A．10:00 a.m. and 11:00 a.m. B．12:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m.C．1:00 p.m. and 3:00 p.m. D．2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m.2．From the poster, we know that the kite celebration __________.A．gets money from Piedmont Middle SchoolB．is not only enjoyable but also meaningfulC．will be held on Sunday May 27th on the playgroundD．gives people a chance to see kites from around the world3．The poster is made for __________.A．school staff B．school experts C．students and parents D．kite companiesD16、Yesterday,I overheard our 9-year-old son,Aaron,talking to his friend,Zach.“Oh，God！”Zach began，looking in Aaron’s closet “Where are all your toys？”“Oh，we are doing something called Simplicity plan，so I basically got rid of 80% of my stuff（物品）. ”“What Did your mom and dad make you do this？”“No，Idecided to do it because I wanted to.When I give away a lot of my things，I make room for family activities. I did it because I wanted to live differently and have less stuff in my life.”“But still,why would you choose to get rid of most of your toys？”“Part of the reason is that my parents were doing it with their stuff .And my mom talked to me about it and explained how the y felt happier afterwards. And I thought maybe I really had spent a lot of my time in my room playing with toys instead of spending time with my parents and sister.”“Seriously”“I feel proud because I am a person who has just what I need and not more. And I’m startingnew activities like writing how I feel,reading more,and spending more time doing housework around the house.”“OK.Let me get this. You have fewer toys，more housework,and you feel happier？”“Well, it’s not that the housework is fun ,But I do it with my parents. We talk and connect while we are doing it, so that is the fun.And we’ve been doing more activities together, like reading aloud at night. And on weekends,we have conversations(交谈)or go out together, instead of my dad being at his computer,my mom cleaning and me playing with my toys.”1．Why did Aaron give away most of his toys?A．Because he didn’t like them.B．Because his parents made him do it.C．Because he had no time to play with them.D．Because he wanted to spend more time with his family.2．After Aaron’s parents got rid of some of their stuff,they .A．hoped Aaron wouldn’t do itB．decided to buy some new stuffC．found it was good for themD．felt upset and wanted it back3．We can learn from the passage that Aaron .A．used to enjoy readingB．will get his toys back soonC．used to write a lot about his feelingsD．enjoys doing housework with his parents4．What can infer(推断)from the passage?A．Zaron will not get rid of his toys.B．Aaron doesn’t like going out with his parents.C．Members in the writer’s family now feel closer.D．His father still likes being at his computer on weekends.E17、Can you remember a world before the Internet? If your answer is "no," then you are probably a millennial. Millennials are the new generation(代) of young Americans. They were born between 1982 and 1992. There are 33 million of them, and they are just starting to enter the workforce(劳动力). Many experts(专家) believe that millennials are different from young Americans of past generations. They also believe that millennials will change the workforce in important ways.How are millennials different? They are the first generation born in the computer age. The Internet has always been a part of their lives. They spend about 16 hours a week on the Internet, and this doesn't include e-mail. And they spend 72 hours aweek using other electronic media(媒体), including mobile phones and video games. They are "native speakers" of the language of the computer age. People who were born earlier will never be native speakers of that language. Why not? They did not grow up "speaking" it.How will millennials change the workforce? To answer that question, it is important to understand how the millennials use the Internet. They use the Internet to communicate. They visit websites such as FaceBook and MySpace every day. They share(分享) ideas, music, information, games, and friendships with people all over the world. When they start working, they will want to share their work and ideas with others.It is also important to understand the way millennials grew up. Their parents and teachers gave them a lot of attention. They taught them that their opinions were valuable(有价值的). As a result, many millennials are very confident. At work, they will expect their co-workers and bosses to listen to their opinions.Millennials also grew up with lots of structure in their lives. Many of them went to school at the age of two or three and played on sports teams. At work, they will expect the rules to be clear. They will also expect a strong but fair boss, like a coach on a sports team. They will follow the person in charge(主管) if he or she is fair. But they will not follow an unfair boss. They will also expect their work to be fun and creative, similar to their experiences on a sports team.These are a few of the changes that experts believe that millennials will bring to the American workforce. But the world is changing very fast. There will probably be more changes that are difficult to imagine today.1．According to the first paragraph of the passage, which of the following in NOT true?A．Millennials belong to a new generation.B．Millennials were born about ten years ago.C．Millennials are entering the workforce.D．Millennials know little about the world before the Internet.2．Which is the main reason that makes the experts believe milennials are different from young Americans of past generations? A．Millennials can speak a better native language.B．Millennials grow up with computers and the Internet.C．Millennials use mobile phones and e-mails often.D．Millennials spend long hours playing video games.3．Why do the Millennials expect to share their work and ideas with others?A．Because they know how to use the Internet to make new friends.B．Because they understand how to communicate with new friends.C．Because they grow up sharing ideas, music, information with others by the Internet.D．Because the Internet can provide all the information they need.4．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?A．Millennials grow up with more attention from their teachers and parents.B．Many millennials are showing more confidence than the others at work.C．Many millennials give more valuable opinions to their co-workers and bosses.D．Many of the millennials have had fun and creative experience when they are on sports teams.5．From the passage we know that ________.A．the number of the millennials had come to 33 million by the end of 1982B．most of the millennials learn their native computer languages in schoolsC．millennials require their bosses to be healthier and the rules clearer at workD．more changes will probably be brought to the American workforce by millennialsF18、America is a mobile society. Friendships between Americans can be close and real, yet disappear soon. They don’t feel hurt. If the same two people meet again, even years later, they____the friendship .This can be quite difficult for us Chinese to understand .Friendships between us develop more slowly but may become lifelong feelings, extending(延伸)deeply into both families.There is another difficult point for us to understand .Although Americans treat friends warmly in their personal everyday lives, they don’t show their politeness to them if it requires a great deal of time. But in China, we are usually generous with our time. We, as hosts, will appear at an airport even in the middle of the night to meet a friend. We may take day off from our work to act as guides to our friends. It is opposite in America, Americans can not manage the time to do a great deal with a visitor outside their daily plans. They will probably expect the visitors to get themselves from the airport to the hotels. And they expect the visitors will phone them from there. Once the visitors arrive at their homes, the welcome will be full, warm and real.For Americans, it is often considered more friendly to invite a friend to their homes than to restaurants, except for business matters. Americans are ready to receive us foreigners at their homes, share their holidays, and their home life. So accept their hospitality(好客)at home and enjoy your visit in America!1．The underlined phrase “pick up” in Paragraph 1 may mean “_______”.A．keep out B．give upC．pay no attention to D．continue2．Which of the following is the typical (典型的)way of American hospitality?A．Treating friends at home.B．Taking days off to be with friends.C．Meeting friends at the airport at midnight.D．Sharing everything they have.3．Which of the following statements is True according to the passage?A．Americans are always generous with their time.B．Americans don’t feel hurt if their f riendships disappear soon.C．Chinese friendships develop more slowly but will never disappear.D．Chinese friendships are more sincere than American friendships.4．The way that Americans and Chinese treat friendship are different, how many differences are mentioned in the passage?A TwoA．Three B．Four C．Five5．This passage is most probably written for _______.A．American studentsB．Chinese studentsC．Chinese visitors to AmericaD．American visitors to ChinaⅤ.书面表达19、书面表达假如你是李华，上周六上午，你们班全体同学在特殊教育学校做了一次志愿者活动。
