You can then tell her she was your favorite teacher------ everyone is happy to know that they are liked!If she has left the school, it will be more difficult to meet her. It will be hard, but remember people always come and go in their lives. We can’t rely on them to be with us all the time.You may be sad to say goodbye to her, but we can remember and learn from her. Think of her best qualities.You could also try looking for similar qualities in your other teachers. Study hard and give your new teacher a chance.

She got dementia and so she had been in the hospital twice. In November I was finally able to get her back to her “home”.Alice had thought her daughter was coming to visit her on Christmas day and that they were going to have the whole family together like the old days. When she finally realized that that happy moment was not going to happen, she was very sad. Knowing that her daughter was coming after Christmas was not enough to make her feel happy, I hated the idea of her being alone on the holiday!On Christmas Eve, I gave her a surprise by asking if she would like to go to a candlelight service at church that night.Instead of taking her to my church, I took her to her old neighborhood church where all her friends were. We got there early and I got her a seat where her friends could see her as they came in. Then soon some of her friends came to the church and they rushed over to greet her and sit with her.The candlelight service was beautiful and Alice got a lot of love from her old and new friends there.The truth of the story is that I am the one who got the best gift: the smile on Alice’s face.39.

The dream of an old lonely ladyC. A real presentD. The true loveC.New research shows sheep are cleverPeople often make jokes about how dull sheep are, but new research shows they may be cleverer than we think. Researchers at the University of Cambridge discovered that Welsh mountain sheep have brainpower that equals rodents (啮齿动物). Tests found that the sheep can map the area they live in, and some may even be able to plan ahead.Young fish prefer noisy neighbors X k b 1 . c o mA new study has shown that young fish like to live on reefs with noisy neighbors! Researchers from the universities of Auckland and Bristol found that young fish looking for a home choose areas where other noisy fish live. The scientists produced all kinds of sounds which had been recorded in different natural environments. The young fish seemed to prefer the sounds of natural reefs, complete with noisy animals! The scientists compared the choice to a music fan wandering around at a music festival, choosing to set up a tent closest to the music they like best!Butterflies are disappearingA new study has shown that 17 species (物种) of butterfly found in Europe have dropped by 70% in the last 20 years. The information collected from 3,000 sites across 15 countries shows it may be caused by the loss (减少) of grasslands covered withflowers. You can encourage butterflies to come into your garden by planting flowers.42. What is the passage mainly about?A. Some new studies about animals.B. People’s wrong ideas about animals.C.

Nature.DHave you ever heard the story of the four-minute miles? Many years ago, people believed that it was impossible for a human Being to run a mile in less than four minutes until Roger Banister proved it wrong in 1954.What happens if you put an animal in a pond? Any animal, big or small, will swim its way through. What happens when someone, who doesn’t know how to swi m, falls in deep waters? They drown. If an animal who has not learnt swimming could escape by swimming, why not you? Because you believe you will drown while the animal doesn’t.Have you ever wondered why the letters are organized in a particular order on your keyboard? You might have thought it is to increase the typing speed. Most people never question it. But the fact is that this system was developed to reduce the typing speed at a time when typewriter parts would jam（堵塞）if the operator typed too fast.These three cases show the power of our beliefs. There is no other more powerful directing force in human behavior than belief. Your beliefs have the power to create and to destroy. A belief delivers command to your nervous system.I used a snake in my workshops for children to show them how unrealistic some of their beliefs are. Students of a school in India, said snakes are slippery and slimy and poisonous. After doing an exercise for changing beliefs, they handled my snake and found it to be dry and clean. They also remembered that only three types of poisonous snakes exist in India.Did this story end the way you thought? Review your beliefs now and find out which ones you need to change?46. In the author’s opinion, if a person in deep water doesn’t know how to swim, he will drown because______A. he is afraid of water. B .he believes he will drown.B. he hasn’t learnt to swim before.

Changing your beliefs now is necessaryD. People should always believe in themselves.E节根据短文内容，从短文后的选项（A B C D E F）中,选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项(请将此题答案写在第Ⅱ卷答题卡上，涂卡要求注意：A B C D 对应涂卡，E涂AB，F 涂AC, G涂AD)Although many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit(承认) that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese stud ent, they always say, “My spoken English is poor.”51 I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English.First, they fail to find suitable(合适的) words to express themselves due to a limited (有限的)vocabulary. 52. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if you choose a positive attitude. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know.53 . Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY(准确). Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim(目标) is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense（时态）, but i t doesn’t m atter. 54 .The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two ears! All that hearing is necessary for you to start speaking.Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking(寻求) out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively(被动的) wait for speaking opportunities to come to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. 55 .A. The person you are speaking to wi ll understand you and make allowances(允许)for any mistakes he hears.B. They may try to avoid making similar mistakes next time.C. Obviously(明显的) the better answer is to expand(拓展) their vocabulary.D. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunitieswherever you go.E. However, their spoken English does not have to remain“poor”!F. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes.G. The second reason lies in the reluctance (勉强) of using what has just beenlearned.英语试题第二卷（非选择题，共两节：满分35分）第一节：短文改错（不分行共10处错误每处1分：满分10分）英语课上,老师要求同桌同学相互修改作文。
