Just then he heard slight, hesitant （犹豫不定的）knocks on his door that sounded clear in the 7 night.“Who’s it?” he wondered, since Tom had no 8 in the new city. And this was the moment he especially disliked being disturbed. 9 , he went reluctantly(不情愿地) to the door and opened it impatiently. At the door was a little girl, shyly asking, “Sir, do you have 10 ?

Mind三、阅读理解（每题2分*15=30）AWhen Christopher Columbus landed on the then unnamed Costa Rica in 1502, he saw many Indians wearing gold earrings. So he thought the land must be rich in gold. He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.21．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.22．The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and red.B. grey and blackC. blue and green.D. yellow and orange23．From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. go to separate schools24．This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicaBThe weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.25．Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ______.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health26．The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced(替换) with ______.A. encouragedB. stoppedC. helpedD. disliked27．From the passage we can know that ______.A. advertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinksB. energy drinks are helpful to teenagers’ studyC. sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinksD. energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagersHarry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in the shops.Once Harry’s father was sent to London on business. He would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!Yesterday Harry’s mothe r found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. The woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today and Harry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man?”“I’m sorry, I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”28．_______ always does some housework in the morning.A. Harry’s motherB. Harry’s fatherC. HarryD.

Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. 32Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.33 Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. 34 Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided.We ought to keep from all these bad habits. 35A. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help.B. Whether good or not habit are, they are easy to get rid of.C. Meanwhile, try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.D. Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habits.F. These are all easily formed habits.G. It’s therefore very important for us to pay atte ntion to the formation of habits.第II卷（非选择题）四、语法填空（每空1.5分*10=15）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于三个单词）或者括号内单词的正确形式。

Under its bark(树皮) , a tree adds a layer（分层）of new wood each year it lives．If you look at a tree stump (树根）, you can see the layers. They are called annual rings (年轮)．On some trees, all of the rings are of the same width. But the ponderosa (美国黄松) that grow in the African southwest have rings in different width. The soil in the southwest is dry．The pines depend on rainfall for water．In a year of good rainfall, they form wide rings．In a dry year they form narrow ones．Scientists do not have to cut down a pine to study its rings．With a special tool, they remove a narrow piece of wood from the trunk without harming the tree．Then they look at the width of each ring to see how much rain fell in the year it formed．Some pines are hundreds of years old and have hundreds of rings．These rings form an annual record of past rainfall in the southwest．61.We could infer from the passage that ＿＿＿＿．A．a tree grows faster when it has a lot of waterB．scientists cut down trees to study tree ringsC．pine trees form rings of the same width every yearD．the ponderosa grows in the southeast62.A tree grows a new layer of wood ＿＿＿＿．A．each week B．whenever it rains C．every year D．every season63.On the whole, this passage is about ＿＿＿＿．A.why the tree trunks grow bigger B．why scientists study tree ringsC．trees that lived hundreds of years ago D．the ponderosa in the US64. The scientists ＿＿to know how much rain fell in a certain area in the past．A．climbed up the trees B．moved the pine treeC．removed a piece of wood D．studied the width of the tree rings 65．Which of the following does the passage lead you to believe﹖A．Young trees have fewer annual rings than old ones．B．The trunk of a tree never changed in size．C．Trees in the southwest do not need rain．D．The soil in the southwest is fit for the growth of trees．CSimply saying “thank you” may benefit both the person who is thanked and the person who expresses gratitude(感激)，according to the results of studies conducted by researchers at Florida State University in Tallahassee.The studies were published in the latest issue of Psychological Science. It was found that saying “thank you” strengthens relationships by causing the person expressing thanks to feel more responsible for the person who is being thanked.To understand how expressing gratitude helps strengthen relationships，the researchers conducted three different studies.In one study,137 college students completed a survey regarding how often they expressed gratitude to a friend or partner .Results showed that gratitude was positively linked with the person's perception(看法)of the relationship between him and his friend or partner.In another study involving 218 college students，the expressers believed that expressing gratitude made the relationships become closer.In the third study, 75 men and women were divided into four groups. Over a three-week period, one group expressed gratitude to a friend；another thought grateful thoughts about a friend，while a third thought about daily activities and a fourth had positive interactions(互动)with a friend. Those who expressed gratitude reported stronger relationships at the end of the study than those in the other groups.Gratitude，when expressed，strengthened relationships，according to the studies' lead author，Nathaniel Lambert .He said the findings make sense because when youexpress gratitude to someone，you are focusing on the good things that person has done for you. It makes you see them in a more positive light and helps you to focus on their good qualities.Although the studies only looked at the people expressing gratitude，Lambert thought that those who are being thanked will often want to express their gratitude back，which helps form a harmonious(和谐的)atmosphere among people.66.Researchers at Florida State University believe that expressers of gratitude may________.A．receive better education B．care more about othersC．know the benefits of saying “thank you” D．know the benefits of being thanked 67.In the third study，why did researchers divide the participants into several groups? A．To prove a conclusion. B．To test a theory.C．To compare research results. D．To collect more information.68.How many people were involved in the first two studies?A．137. B．218. C．75. D．355.69.Which of the following would Lambert agree with?A．Appreciating a person's good points helps build a good relationship. B．Expressers of gratitude are more likely to succeed in their careers. C．Expressers of gratitude forget an unhappy experience quickly.D．Expressing gratitude is easy to do for everyone.70.Which would be the best title for the passage?A．Saying “thank you” helps defeat your enemiesB．Saying “thank you” to create a sweet atmosphereC．Simple “thank you”，high expectationsD．Simple “thank you” has new benefitsPART FOUR WRITINGSECTION ADirections: Read the following passage.

However, there are certain basic rules that can prove to be effective（有效的）in studying for an exam.Make a plan for how to develop good study habits that last long. A plan should include a schedule on when to study. It doesn't have to be fixed and can be changed in case something more important and unexpected comes up.

Write your answers on your answer sheet.The computer makes doing schoolwork easier for me than it was for my mom and dad. For example, when writing book reports and stories, I use Microsoft Word instead of a pen and paper. That way, after my teacher checks my work, I can go back and make revisions without having to rewrite the whole thing. And Microsoft Word has a spell check! I use it all the time.For English class, we are reading The Outsiders by S. E. Hinton. As pre-reading homework, my teacher asked us to research teenage groups on the Internet. I tried Google, Encarta, and Yahoo first, and finally found an article on Time. com .For geography homework on the United States, I used Encarta to learn about the Mississippi River. I needed to find out how deep the river is, how its widths and depths are different, what states it runs through, and what kinds of fish live in it. I used the information to show how the geography of a country influences its economy. For example, the river’s trade paths, the number of fish caught in it and the tourists it attracts directly affect Southerners’ jobs and incomes.I never go to the library to do research. It takes too much time. Since I live in New York City and both my parents work, getting to the library isn’t always easy. For a big task or research project, I used to stay at the library to read, or sign out whatever books or magazines I needed. Now being able to find the information in my own living room makes everything a lot simpler. Online dictionaries and encyclopedias (百科全书) also save time.Sometimes, I think the computer spoils my generation because it is so easy --- at least physically. But computers are not like television, which does the thinking for you. You still have to use your mind. I prefer using a computer, easy, fun, and fast.81. What does the writer use when he writes book reports and stories? (no more than 3 words)82. Why doesn’t the writer go to the library to do research? (no more than 6 words)83.
