They are long cloths on which pictures of horses and scriptures（经文）are printed. People often put these flags on top of houses, or leave them where a vehicle accident happened. They prevent evil spirits from injuring people again.A wind-horse flag can be white, yellow, red, green or blue. These five colors symbolizethe five elements that form the world; earth, water, fire, wind and sky. Another explanations that red is the sun, green is the grassland, yellow is the earth, blue is the sky, and white is the cloud.The wind-horse flag originated with a monk who obtained a scripture from India. When he crossed a river, he carelessly dropped the scripture into the water. He quickly saved the scripture and spread it out on a big rock to dry as he sat in meditation（默想）. Suddenly violent thunder sounded like drums. The monk felt liberated（解放的）from all of his sadness, and when he opened his eyes he saw that the scripture had been blown into the sky by a strong wind. Finally, he went straight to heaven.In order to honor the spirit of the monk and the Buddhist scripture, people printed the scripture on a piece of cloth and hung it up between the sky and the earth as though the scripture was flying in the sky.We also know why people put the wind-horse flag on the top of mountains and houses.The Tibetan ancestors had a very great idea about chanting scripture. They thought people not only could chant scripture, but also the five elements. The wind-home flag is a good example of how they use the wind to blow the flag, which means that the wind also chants scripture.56. The second paragraph is mainly about the wind-horse flag’s ________.A. colorsB. stylesC. materialsD. functions57. What happened when the monk meditated?A. He felt very sad about his mistake.B. The scripture was blown into the sky.C. He was punished by the gods.D. Many wind-house flags were flying.58. According to the passage, the origin of the wind-horse flag is based on ________.A. a historical eventB. an ancient customC. a religious taleD. a vehicle accident59. Why do people put wind-horse flags on the top of mountains and houses?A. The wind-house flags are safer there.B. The wind-house flags can be nearer to the sky.C. People can see the wind-house flags more clearly.D. People believe the wind can also chant scripture.BThe Booking Notes of the Play "the Age of Innocence"Price: $10BOOKINGThere are four easy ways to book seats for performance:------in personThe Box Office is open Monday to Saturday, 10 a. m. -8 p. m.-------by telephoneRing 01324976 to reserve your tickets or to pay by credit card (Visa, MasterCard and Amex accepted)------by postSimply complete the booking form and return it to Global Theatre Box Office.------on lineComplete the on-line booking form at www.

That is why some friendships don’t last very long. To have a friend, you must learn to be one. You must learn to treat your friend the way you want your friend to treat you. Learning to be a good friend means learning three rules: be honest; be generous; be understanding.Honesty is where a good friendship starts. Friends must be able to trust one another. If you don’t tell the truth, people usually find out. If a friend finds out that you haven’t been honest you may lose your friend’s trust. Good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.Generosity means sharing and makes a friendship grow. You don’t have to give your ideas and feelings. These can be very valuable to friends. They tell your friends what is important to you. By sharing then you help your friend know you better.Sooner or later everyone needs understanding and help with problems. Something may go wrong at school. Talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. Turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. So to be a friend you must listen and understand. You must try to put yourself in your friend’s place so you can understand the problem better.No two friendships are ever exactly alike. But all true friendships have three things in common. If you plan to keep your friends; you must practice honesty, generosity and understanding.63. Some friendships don’t last long because __________.A. there are too many people who want to make friendsB. those (who never give others friendships) receive no friendship from othersC. those who give others friendship receive friendship from othersD. they don’t know friendship is something serious64. Which of the following isn’t mentioned in the passage?A. Always tell your friend the truth.B. Sharing your mind with your friend is of great value.C. Discussing your problems with your friend often helps to solve the problem.D.A friend who gives you his lunch money is a true friend.65. The best title of this passage is __________.A. Honesty Is the Best PolicyB.A Friend In Need Is a Friend IndeedC. How To Be a FriendD. Three Important Points In Life第四部分：单词拼写（每小题1分，共20分）1. Why is everything my fault？Can I d_____ for myself?.2.

Being very short of 2 and wanting to do something 3 I applied (申请), 4 as I did so, that without a degree and with no 5 of teaching my chances of getting the job were 6 .However, three days later, a letter arrived, calling me to Croydon for a meeting with the headmaster. It proved to be a 7 journey: a train to Croydon station, a ten-minute bus ride and then a walk of at 8 a quarter of a mile. As a result I arrived there, feeling too hot to be nervous. It was clearly the 9 himself that 10 the door. He was short and round."The school," he said, "is made up of one 11 of twenty-four boys between seven and thirteen." I should have to teach all the subjects except art, 12 he taught himself.

Almost 20 percent of this area is well below sea level, and Badwater, a salt water pool, is about 280 feet below sea level and the lowest point in the United States.Long ago the Panamint Indians called this place “Tomesha”— the land of fire. Death Valley’s present name dates back to 1849, when a group of miners coming across from Nevada became lost in its unpleasantness and hugeness and their adventure turned out to be a sad story. Today Death Valley has been declared a National Monument(纪念碑) and is crossed by several well-marked roads where good services can be found easily. Luckily the change created by human settlement has hardly ruined the special beauty of this place.Here nature created a lot of surprising, almost like the sights on the moon, ever-changing as the frequent wind moves the sand about, showing the most unusual colors. One of the most astonishing and variable pa rts of Death Valley is the Devil’ s Golf Course, where it seems hard for one to tell reality from terrible dreams. Sand sculptures(沙雕) stand on a frightening ground, as evening shadows move and lengthen.1. _______ is the lowest place in the desert.A. TomeshaB. Death ValleyC. NevadaD. Badwater2.

It crossed New York from Buffalo on Lake Erie Troy to Albany on the Hudson River. It joined the Great Lakes with the Atlantic Ocean. The canal served as a route over which industrial goods could flow into the west, and materials could pour into the east. The Erie Canal helped New York develop into the nation’s largest city.The building of the canal was paid for entirely by the state of New York. It cost $ 7 143 789, but it soon gained its price many times over. Between 1825, when the canal was opened, and 1882, when toll charges(过运河费) were stopped, the state collected $121 461 891.For a hundred years before the Erie was built, people had been talking about a canal which could join the Great Lakes and the Atlantic Ocean. The man who planned the Erie Canal and carried the plan through was De Witt Clinton. Those who were against the canal laughingly called it “Clinton’s Ditch(沟)”. Clinton talked and wrote about the canal and drew up plans for it.

She had a difficult time when she first bega n college. She said, “I was always well prepared for my examinations. But when I go into class to take the exam, I would fall apart. I could just blank out because of nervousness and fear.” Hitoshi Sakamoto, an anthropology(人类学) student at Temple University in Tokyo reports similar experiences.These two young students were experiencing something called test anxiety. Because a student worries and is stressed(加压力于) about a test, his or her mind does not work as well as it usually does. The student cannot write or think clearly because of the severe tension and nervousness.Now there are special university courses to help students. In these courses, advisors and psychologists try to help students by teaching them to manage test anxiety. Such a course helps students learn to live with stress and not fail because of it. First students take a practice test to measure their worry level. If the tests show that their stress level is high, the students can take a short course to manage the fear. These courses teach students how to relax their bodies. They get training to become calm in very tense situations. By controlling their nervousness, they can let their minds work more easily. Learned information then comes out without difficulty on a test.Doreen Sykora saw immediate results after taking such a course. She now has enthusiasm about the relaxation methods. “Mostly, what I do is imagine myself in a very calm place. Then I imagine myself picking up a pencil. I move slowly and carefully. I breathe easily and let all the tension out. With each breath, more worry leaves me. It really works too. My grades have improved greatly! I’m really doing well at McGill now. This relaxation method works not only on examinations, but it has improved the rest of my life as well.”For Hitoshi in Tokyo, the results were much the same. He is enjoying school a lot more and learning more.18. What is the similarity between Doreen Sykora and Hitoshi Sakamoto?A. They are students from the same university.B. They failed in all the examinations.C. They both had experiences of test anxiety.D. They both had the same poor studying habits.19. The phrase “blank out” in Paragraph 1 refers to “_______.”A. lose interest in the examB. refuse to take the examC. get an extra paperD. be unable to think clearly20. What’s the purpose of some special university student-help courses?A. To help students to reduce test anxiety.B. To show a stress level experienced by students.C. To learn more knowledge about test anxiety.D. To have a better understanding of test anxiety.第四题:短文改错(共10个错误,每个错误1分,共10分)We'll never forget the day which my classmates and I paid a visit to a chemistry factory last week.
