Trees fall over. Large holes form in the ground. Could Alaska be sinking? That’s what some villagers in Alaska have been asking themselves recently and scientists think they know why. Warmer temperatures may be causing Alaska’s frozen gro und to thaw (解冻).About 85 percent of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost (永久冻结带). Permafrost supports the ground above it—including trees, houses, and roads. But why is the permafrost thawing?Some scientists say that human-caused pollution is leading to global warming. And most scientists agree that Alaska has been getting warmer. They say that the warmer temperature is causing permafrost to thaw in some areas. The thawing permafrost can cause problems for people, plants, and animals.The collapsing (倒塌) is a problem in the villages in Alaska which are built on permafrost, and some of them may have to move to safer ground, where there is no permafrost.The Alaskan town of Glennallen saw its old post office collapse. And, according to James Walters, a permafrost expert at the University of Northern Iowa, house-moving companies have been very busy.“Melting permafrost can also destroy trees and forests,” Walters said. “When holes in the ground form, trees fall into them and die. This could turn a forest into a swamp (沼泽), and animals which need the forests will have to move elsewhere.”“The melting could cause severe problems.” Walters says, “This could take hundreds of years, but in the end Alaska will look quite different from what it looks like now.”【1】The main reason why permafrost is thawing is that ______.A．the temperature in Alaska is risingB．people in Alaska don’t take care of permafrostC．too many houses are built on permafrostD．people in Alaska polluted permafrost【2】The following are the results of melting permafrost EXCEPT ______.A．holes form in the groundB．a forest will be turned into a swampC．some animals have to go elsewhereD．more water will be needed by people and animals【3】Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A．When permafrost melts, houses will fall down.B．House-moving companies are busy because their houses are in danger.C．To stop permafrost melting is a very difficult problem.D．Most of Alaska’s land surface has permafrost.【4】Which of the following can be used as the best title of the passage?A．Alaska—A Frozen Land B．Pollution and Global WarmingC．Is Alaska Sinking?D．Alaska Is Polluted3.Sports can help you keep fit and get in touch with nature. However, whether you are on the mountains, in the waves, or on the grassland, you should be aware that your sport of choice might have great influence on the environment.Some sports are resource-hungry. Golf, as you may know, eats up not only large areas of countryside, but also tons of water. Besides, all sorts of chemicals and huge amounts of energy are used to keep its courses(球场) in good condition. This causes major environmental effects. For example, in the dry regions of Portugal and Spain, golf is often held responsible for serious water shortage in some local areas.There are many environment-friendly sports. Power walking is one of them that you could take up today. You don't need any special equipment except a good pair of shoes; and you don't have to worry about resources and your purse. Simple and free, power walking can also keep you fit. If you walk regularly, it will be good for your heart and bones. Experts say that 20 minutes of power walking daily can make you feel less anxious, sleep well and have better weight control.Whatever sport you take up, you can make it greener by using environment-friendly equipment and buying products made from recycled materials. But the final goal should be "green gyms". They are better replacements(代替物) for traditional health clubs and modern sports centers. Members of green gyms play sports outdoors, in the countryside or other open spaces. There is no special requirement for you to start your membership. And best of all, it's free.【1】Which of the following is the author most probably in favor of?A．Motor racing in the desert.B．Cycling around a lake.C．Playing basketball in a gymD．Swimming in a sports center.【2】The author uses power walking as an example mainly because_________.A．it is an outdoor sportB．it improves our healthC．it uses fewer resourcesD．it is recommended by experts【3】What do we know about golf from the passage?A．It is popular in Portugal and Spain.B．It needs water and electricity to keep its courses green.C．It pollutes the earth with chemicals and wastes.D．It causes water shortages around the world.【4】The author writes the passage to ________.A．show us the function of major sportsB．discuss the major influence of popular sportsC．encourage us to go in for green sportsD．introduce different types of environment-friendly sports4.About 70 scientists were working on a very busy project. All of them felt really desperate due to the pressure of work and the demands of their boss but everyone was loyal to him and did not think of quitting their job.One day, one scientist came to his boss and told him, “Sir, I’ve promised to take my children to the exh ibition going on in our township so I want to leave at 5:30 p. m.” His boss replied, “OK. You’re permitted to leave the office early today.”The scientist started working. He continued his work after lunch. As usual, he got involved to such an extent that he looked at his watch only when he felt he was close to completion. The time was 8:30 p. m. suddenly he remembered his promise to the children. He looked for his boss but he was not there. Having told him in the morning himself, he closed everything and left for home. Deep within himself, he was feeling guilty for having disappointed his children. He reached home. The children were not there. His wife alone was sitting in the hall and reading magazines. The situation was explosive; any talk would boomerang on him. His wife asked him, “Would you like to have coffee or shall I straight away serve dinner if you are hungry?” The man replied, “If you would like to have coffee, I too will have but what about the children?” His wife replied, “You don’t know? Your boss came here at 5:15 p. m. and has taken them to the exhibition.”What had really happened was the boss who gave him permission was observing him working seriously at 5:00p. m. He thought to himself: this person will not leave the work, but he’s promise d to take his children to the exhibition. So he took the lead in taking them there. The boss does not have to do it every time. But once it’s done, loyalty is established.That is why all the scientists at Thumba continued to work under their boss even though the stress was extraordinarily huge. By the way, can you boldly guess who the boss was? He was none other than the mastermind behind India’s successful nuclear weapons program, Dr. APJ Abdul Kalam, former president of India.【1】The scientist asked for an early leave because ________.A．he felt increasingly desperate about his workB．he’d promised to take his kids to a showC．the task at hand was close to completionD．he meant to accompany his wife at dinner【2】The underlined sentence implies that the scientist thought his wife was ________.A．ready to serve dinner for him B．dissatisfied with his coming home late C．grateful to his kind- hearted boss D．delighted to see him back home【3】The boss took children to the exhibition ________.A．when it was too late for the scientist to do soB．when the man’s wife asked him to do soC．because the scientist was absorbed in his workD．because he also wanted to see what was on show【4】All the scientists stayed loyal to their boss ________.A．because he had power over themB．to learn how to live under pressureC．out of gratefulness for his thoughtfulnessD．every time he took the children to the show三、其他Learning a second languageNowadays, more and more people are learning a second language. So why should we invest time in learning a second language? Is it worth it? What are the benefits of learning a second language? Let us see.【1】If your work involves regular contact with speakers of foreign languages, being able to talk to them in their own languages will help you to communicate with them better. It may also help you to make sales and to negotiate and secure contracts. Knowledge of foreign languages may also increase your chance of finding a new job, getting a promotion or a transfer overseas, or of going on foreign business trips.【2】Needless to say, being able to speak a foreign language, for example, the Japanese, would benefit you a lot when you are travelling to Japan. Being able to speak the language of the target country will save you a lot of communication trouble and inconvenience.【3】EducationIf you are a high school student or a college student who is interested in going abroad for further education, then you will, in all possibility, have to learn the language of the country where you wish to move to, for further studies. 【4】【5】Learning a second language can help in broadening one’s horizon, it can help in learning about the culture of that particular country and it can pave the way for new interests and hobbies. Not only can you enjoy forms of art and literature connected with the new language, but you can also meet new people, make new friends and develop long-lasting relationships…all on the basis of lea rning a new language.A．TravelB．CareerC．Personal GrowthD．Challenging YourselfE. You may be required to study a particular language at school, college or university.F. If you are fond of tourism, then knowledge of the local language is a must—have to avoid bad experiences or discomfort.G. In some cases or countries, being able to speak that country’s national language is a must for students wishing to pursue education in that country.四、完形填空The books in David’s schoolbag felt like bricks as he ran down the street.

Most students think this is more convenient for them to keep in the touch with their parents and classmates. And what’s much, it’s a fashion. However, most teachers think middle school students are not old enough to control them. It is a waste of time for students to play games and sending messages on their mobile phones. Therefore, it is easy to make students contact with each other. In my opinion, following the fashion was understandable. But as middle school student, we should put all our energy into our study.Yours truly,Mary六、书面表达假如你是James，在收到祖父的戒烟建议信后，很受触动。

Now, away from the sea, in the hospital, his body just looked like a beached fish. His condition went from bad to worse. The doctor came from saying, “He’ll be home in a day,” “He’ll be home in a week,” to “He will be home in a month.”When Emanuel was a teenager, if he ever seemed bored with the pier(码头), his father would shout, “What ? This isn’t good enough for you?” And later, when he suggested Emanuel take a job at the pi er after high school, the boy almost laughed, and his father again said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?” And before Emanuel went to war, when he talked of marrying Maggie and becoming an engineer, his father said, “What? This isn’t good enough for you?”And now, here he was, Emanuel helped out at the pier, working evenings after his taxi job, doing his father’s labor.Parents rarely let go of their children, so children let go of them. They move on. They move away. It is not until much later that children understand: their stories and all their accomplishments sit on top of the stories of their mothers and fathers.One night his father, lying in hospital, was practically too weak to speak. Others comforted him. “Your old man will pull through. He’s the toughest man we’ve ever seen.”When the news came that his father had died, Emanuel felt heart-broken.In the following weeks, Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused state. She spoke to her husband as if he were still there .She yelled at him to turn down the radio. She cooked enough food for two .One night, when Emanuel offered to help with the dishes, she said. “Your father will put them away.” Emanuel put a hand on her shoulder. “Ma,” he said softly, “Dad’s gone.”“Gone where?” murmured Mum.【1】Which of the following shows the right order of the story?a．Emanuel’s father fell ill.b．Emanuel helped out at pier.c．Emanuel went to the war.d．Emanuel wished to be an engineer.e. Emanuel’s mother lived in a confused stateA．bacde B．dcabe C．bceda D．decba【2】In Paragraph 4, the writer inplies that .A．Children can never understand how much their parents have devoted to themB．Children wouldn’t have achieved so much without their parents’ supportC．Children often feel regretful because they leave their parentsD．Children like moving away from their parents【3】The underlined phrase “pull through” can probably be replaced by ________A．wake up B．give up C．pick up D．get up【4】The last paragraph mainly tells us that .A．Emanuel’s mother was at a loss at her husband’s death.B．Emanuel often helped his mother to wash the dishes.C．Emanuel lived with his mother and often comforted her.D．Emanuel’s mother doesn’t like t o listen to the radio.2.I do desire to help my Chinese students to find a better way of learning. I once divided my Chinese MBA students into six groups and set them an assignment: brainstorming on “two-hour business plans”, for example: a restaurant chain. Originality would be valued most. As a result, five groups proposed projects for restaurant chains. The sixth showed a catering service. I couldn’t help expressing my disappointment, though the time limit had been rather challenging.Those middle managers and financial analysts from state-owned enterprises and global companies were not untalented or without opinions, but they had been accustomed to an educational system that rarely rewarded critical thinking or Originality. Papers were often copied from the Internet and the Harvard Business Review. Students insisted that copying was a superior business strategy, better than inventing and creating.In China, you can see almost all kinds of products you can imagine have been made and sold, but so few well developed marketing and management minds have been produced that it will be a long time before most people in the world can name a Chinese brand!Partnerships with institutions like Yale and MIT have been established so as to solve the problem mentioneda bove. And there’s also the “thousand talent scheme”: this new government program is designed to improve technological modernization by inviting top foreign trained scientists to the mainland with large sums of money. But there are concerns about China’s re search environment, which is known for lacking in encouraging independent thinking and inventiveness, and even high salary offers may not be attractive enough to overcome this.If China wants to become a major world creator, it is no good just seeking partnerships with top Western universities or gathering a group of well-educated people and telling them to think creatively. It’s time to establish a rich learning environment for young minds.

Does it make sense to make people retire at a particular age, say, 55? 60?Some people work well into their 70s and 80s, running families, countries or corporations while other people, despite being fit and highly talented, are forced to retire in their fifties or even earlier. Here I will examine whether people should be allowed to continue working as long as they want or whether they should be encouraged to retire at a particular stage.Some people think there are several reasons for allowing older people to continue working. Firstly, older employees are more experienced and their knowledge can be lost to his company or business if they are madeto retire. Secondly, older employees are often extremely loyal and more willing to carry out company policiesthan younger staff. Another point is related to our society’s attitudes to th e old. To force someone to retire at 50or 60 indicates that the society does not value the contribution of these people, which may be regarded as age discrimination.However, others believe that allowing older people to work indefinitely(无限期) is not a good policy. Age alone is no guarantee of ability. Old people are ambitious workaholics. Many young employees are more skillful than older staff, who may have been stuck in one area or unit for most of their working lives. Having compulsory retirement encourages new ideas in an organization. In addition, without age limits, many people would continue to work purely because they did not have any other plans. Another reason is that older people should be rewarded by society for their life’s labor by being given generous pensions and the freedom to enjoy their leisure. We now have youngsters who can’t find jobs because old people refuse to retire. This new generation of “old people” may think they will never die due to modern advances in medicine.With many young people unemployed or frustrated in low-level positions, older workers are expected to retire. However, this can affect their right to work. I feel that giving workers more flexibility and choice over their retirement age will benefit both society and the individual.【1】All the following statements are reasons for allowing old people to continue working EXCEPT that _______. A．their contributions should be valuedB．their experience should be appreciatedC．they can be ambitious workaholicsD．they are extremely loyal employees【2】The underlined sentence in the fourth passage suggests that _______.A．retired people support the young to be creativeB．more fresh employees mean more fresh ideasC．retired people are unwilling to praise new ideasD．young employees are forced to be creative【3】The structure of the passage is arranged as __________【4】The author is likely to agree that ________’A．it’s not wise to suggest lengthening the retirement ageB．it does make sense to set a particular retirement ageC．having different retirement age sounds unreasonableD．when to retire should depend on the employees themselves5.Australia’s Northern Territory became the first legal authority in the world to perform euthanasia(安乐死)—that’s to say, doctors are permitted to take the lives of incurably ill patients who wish to die. Word that the law was passed by the vote of 15 to 10 immediately flashed on the Internet and was picked up by John, the director of the Right to Die Society of Canada, who posted it on the group’s homepage online, saying, “This isn’t merely something that happened in Australia. It’s world history.”The NT Rights of the Terminally Ill Law has left physicians and citizens trying to deal with its moral and practical influence. Some have breathed sighs of relief; but others, including churches, right to life groups and the Australian Medical Association, bitterly attacked the law. But the tide is unlikely to turn back. In Australia--where an aging population, life-extending technology and changing community attitudes have all played their part—other states are going to consider making a similar law. In the U. S. and Canada, where the right to die movement is gathering strength, observers are waiting for the dominoes (多米诺骨牌) to start falling.Under the new Northern Territory law, an adult patient can request death--probably by a deadly injection or pill--to end suffering. The patient must be diagnosed as incurably ill by two doctors. After a "cooling off" period of seven days, the patient can sign a certificate of request. After 48 hours the wish for death can be met. For Lloyd, a 54-year-old Darwin resident suffering from lung cancer, the NT Rights of Terminally Ill Law means he can get on with living without the disturbing fear of his suffering: a terrifying death from his breathing condition. "I' m not afraid of dying from a spiritual point of view, but what I was afraid of was how I'd go, because I've watched people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen and clawing at their masks," he says.【1】According to the text, which of the following statements is TURE?A．Patients will ask their doctors for euthanasia if they are afraid of illness.B．Australia, Canada and the US speak highly of the law of euthanasia.C．All people in Australia don’t share the positive attitude to euthanasiaD．If a patient requests death, he should sign a certificate after 48 hours.【2】The underlined sentence in Para 2, “observers are waiting for the dominoes to start falling.” means that observers are prepared to learn the news that .A．some other countries pass similar lawsB．Australia has to put an end to euthanasiaC．people begin to change attitudes to euthanasiaD．different effects result from the game of dominoes【3】Which is NOT the reason for Australia to become the first country to pass the law of euthanasia? A．Australia has advanced technology of extending life.B． Australians realize suffering from a terrible disease is worse than death.C．Australia is faced with a growing ageing population.D．Australians find it easy to deal with the moral and practical influence.【4】It can be inferred from the text that .A．Australia passed the law of euthanasia by the vote of 15 to 10B．John and his group are in favor of the law of euthanasia in Australia.C．an adult patient can request euthanasia by a deadly injection or pillD．Lloyd has seen many people die in the hospital fighting for oxygen.【5】What’s the author’s attitude to euthanasia?A．Negative B．Critical C．Doubtful D．Positive四、单词拼写阅读下面短文，根据以下提示：1）汉语提示; 2)首字母提示；3）语境提示，在每个空格内填入一个适当的英语单词，并将该词完整地写在右边相对应的横线上。

Sadly, she went to the holy man and asked, “What magical things do you have to bring my son back to life?”Instead of sending her away or reasoning with her, he said to her, “Fetch me a mustar d (芥菜) seed from a home that has never known sadness. We will use it to drive the sadness out of your life.” The woman happily went off at once in search of that magical mustard seed.She first came to a splendid house, knocked at the door and said, “I am looking for a home that has never known sadness. Is it such a place? It is very important to me.”They told her “You’ve certainly come to the wrong place” and began to describe all the tragic things that had happened to them recently.The woman said to her self, “I have had misfortune of my own. Who is able to help these poor, unfortunate people?” She stayed to comfort them, and then went on in search of a home that had never known sadness. But wherever she went, she found one tale after another of sadness and misfortune. She became so involved in other people’s sorrow that finally she forgot about her search for the magical mustard seed, never realizing that it had, in fact, driven the sadness out of her life.【1】Which of the following does the story lead us to believe?A．Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst.B．Time passed cannot be called back again.C．You can’t feel happy unless compared with others.D．You can’t expect to know the result until you have tried.【2】Instead of sending the woman away, the holy man .A．asked her to help him firstB．tried to comfort her with kind wordsC．asked her to look for a thing that didn’t exist at allD．tried to encourage her by talking with her【3】Leaving the holy man, the woman .A．was full of hope B．was filled with sadnessC．was determined to try again D．became discouraged【4】The best title for the text would be “”.A．A woman’s misfortune B．A nice surpriseC．The holy man’s faith D．Cure for sadness2.Gwendolyn Brooks wrote hundreds of poems during her lifetime. She was known around the world for using poetry to increase understanding of black culture in America.During the 1940’s and the 1950’s, Gwendolyn Brooks used her poems to describe conditions among the poor, racial (种族的) inequality and drug use in the black community. She also wrote poems about the struggles of black women.But her skill was more than her ability to write about struggling black people. She combined traditional European poetry styles with the African American experience.Gwendolyn Brooks once said that she wrote about what she saw and heard in the street. She said she found most of her materials through looking out of the window of her second-floor apartment in Chicago, Illinois.In her early poetry, Gwendolyn Brooks wrote about the South Side of Chicago, where many black people live. In her poems, the South Side is called Bronzeville. It was “A Street in Bronzeville” that gained the attention of literary experts in 1945. Critics praised her poetic skills and her powerful descriptions about the black experience during the time. The Bronzeville poems were her first published collection.In 1950, Gwendolyn Brooks became the first African American to win the Pulitzer Prize for Literature. She won the prize for her second book of poems called “Annie Allen”. “Annie Allen” is a collection of poetry about a Bronzeville girl as a daughter, a wife and a mother. She experiences loneliness, loss, death and poverty (贫穷). Gwendolyn Brooks said that winning the prize changed her life.Her next work was a novel written in 1953 called “Maud Martha”. “Maud Martha” attracted little attention when it was first published. But now it is considered an important work by some critics. Its main ideas about the difficult lives of many women are popular among female writers today.【1】Gwendolyn Brooks became world-famous because .A．she was an expert on the language of poetryB．she introduced black culture by writing poemsC．she fought for black rights by writing poemsD．her poems showed the lives of black women【2】Which of the following can we learn from the text?A．Gwendolyn Brooks’ poems focused on black people in Afr ica.B．Winning the Pulitzer Prize for Literature was important to Brooks.C．Gwendolyn Brooks used to suffer a lot from drugs.D．Gwendolyn Brooks was very strict with herself.【3】How did Gwendolyn Brooks get ideas for most of her poems?A．By observing life.B．By having talks.C．By reading widely.D．By traveling.【4】We can infer that the book “Annie Allen” mainly deals with .A．family life B．inequality C．adventure D．failure3.In Canada you can find dogs, cats, horses, etc. in almost every family. These are their pets. People love these pets and have them as their good friends. Before they keep them in their houses, they take them to animal hospitals to give them injections(注射) so that they won’t carry diseases. They have special animal food stores, though they can get animal food in almost every kind of stores. Some people spend around two hundred Canadian dollars a month on animal food.When you visit people’s houses, they woul d be very glad to show you their pets and they are very proud of them.You will also find that almost every family has a bird feeder in their garden. All kinds of birds are welcomed to come and have a good meal. They are free to come and go and nobody is allowed to kill any animal in Canada. They have a law against killing wild animals. If you killed an animal, you would be punished. If an animal happened to get run over by a car, people would be very sad about it.People in Canada have many reasons to like animals. One of them might be: Their family ties are not as close as ours. When children grow up, they leave their parents and start their own life. Then the old will feel lonely. But pets can solve this problem. They can be good friends and never leave them alone.【1】The passage mainly talks about ______.A．how to keep diseases from pets B．Canadians have pets as friendsC．how to take good care of pets D．life of the old in Canada【2】Pets are given injections in animal hospitals ______.A．in order to keep them safe B．after being taken homeC．because they carry diseases D．because they are sick【3】The word “bird feeder” in the second paragraph probably means ______.A．a person who gives food to birds B．a container that has food for birds C．something that catches birds D．an animal that eats birds【4】In Canada, children leave their parents when they grow up because ______.A．they don’t love their parents any moreB．they can only find jobs far from their parentsC．their parents’ houses are too smallD．they wouldn’t depend on their parents any more【5】Which of the following is TRUE?A．Peoplebuyanimal foodonlyattheanimalfood stores.B．Pets eat better than people.C．Almost every family has a birdcage(鸟笼) in his house.D．Any bird can come to the bird feeders to eat.4.History is full of examples of leaders joining together to meet common goals. But rarely have two leaders worked together with such friendship and cooperation as American President Franklin Roosevelt and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. They both were born in wealthy families and were active in politics for many years. Both men loved the sea and the navy，history and nature.Roosevelt and Churchill first met when they were lower-level officials in World War One. But neither man remembered much about that meeting. However，as they worked together during the Second World War they came to like and trust each other. Roosevelt and Churchill exchanged more than one thousand seven hundred letters and messages during five and a half years. They met many times，at large national gatherings and in private talks. But the closeness of their friendship might be seen best in a story told by one of Roosevelt’s close advisors，Harry Hopkins. Hopkins remembered how Churchill was visiting Roosevelt at the White House one day. Roosevelt went into Churchill’s room in the morning to say hello. But the president was shocked to see Churchill coming from the washing room with no clothes at all. Roosevelt immediately apologized to the British leader for seeing him naked. But Chur chill reportedly said: “The Prime Minister of Great Britain has nothing to hide from the president of the United States.” And then both men laughed.The United States and Great Britain were only two of several nations that joined together in the war to resist Hitler and his Allies. In January,1942，twenty-six of these nations signed an agreement promising to fight for peace，religious freedom，human rights，and justice. The three major Allies，however，were the most important for the war effort: the United States，Britain，and the Soviet Union. Yet，Churchill and Rooseveltdisagreed about when to attack Hitler in western Europe. And Churchill resisted Roosevelt’s suggestions that Britain give up some of its colonies. But in general，the friendship between Roosevelt and Churchill，and between the United States and Britain led the two nations to cooperate closely.【1】What can be inferred from the passage?A．Roosevelt and Churchill had much in common.B．Roosevelt and Churchill had nothing in common.C．Roosevelt and Churchill had no difference but cooperation.D．Roosevelt and Churchill always joined together to meet common goals.【2】Which of the following about Roosevelt and Churchill is TRUE according to the passage?A．Since World War One they had believed in each other.B．They exchanged just 27 letters and messages per month during the 5.5 years.C．Harry Hopkins never let out the closeness of their friendship.D．Roosevelt and Churchill hadn’t been presidents before World War One.【3】We can know from the passage that________.A．Roosevelt and Churchill did not always agree with each otherB．over two differences between Churchill and Roosevelt were mentionedC．Churchill urged Roosevelt to give up some of its coloniesD．the differences between Roosevelt and Churchill had an effect on their cooperation5.We can make mistakes at any age. Some mistakes we make are about money. But most mistakes are about people. “Did Jerry really care when I broke up with Helen?” “When I got that gre at job, did Jim, as a friend, really feel good about it?” “And was Paul friendly just because I had a car?” When we look back, these thoughts can make us feel bad. But when we look back, it is too late.Why do we go wrong with our friends, or our enemies? Sometimes what people say hides their real meanings. And if we do not really listen, we miss the feeling behind the words. When someone tells you, “You’re a luckydog!” Is he really on your side? If he says, “You’re a lucky guy!” that is being friendly. But “a lucky dog”? There is a bit of envy (嫉妒) in those words. What he may be saying is that he does not think you deserve (应得) your luck. “Just think of all the things you have to be thankful for” is another phrase that says one thing and means another. It could mean that the speaker is trying to get you to see your problem. But this phrase contains the thought that your problem is not at all important.How can you tell the real meaning behind someone’s words? One way is to take a good look at the person talking. Do his words fit the way he looks? Is what he says shown by the tone of voice? The look in his eyes? Stop and think. The minute you spend thinking about the real meaning of what people say to you may save your another mistake.【1】When the writer thinks of some of the things that happened between him and his friends, he . A．feels happy, thinking how nice his friends are to himB．feels he might not have understood his friend’s true feelingsC．thinks it a mistake to have broken up with his girl friendD．is sorry that his friends let him down【2】When the writer talks about the saying, “You’re a lucky dog!” he is saying that .A．the speaker is just friendlyB．this sentence suggests the same as “You’re a lucky guy!”C．the word “dog” should not be used to apply to peopleD．sometimes the words show that the speaker is a bit envious【3】This passage tries to tell you how to .A．avoid mistakes about money and friendsB．get an idea of friendly peopleC．avoid mistakes in understanding what people tell youD．keep people friendly without trusting them【4】The writer suggests that should be trusted.A．everybody B．nobody C．all the people D．not all the people四、其他It is a beautiful day here and I am sitting under the big tree at the e of the【1】garden.

But her writing 41 was something she picked up by herself. After her first 42 , teaching disabled children, she became a part-time writer for IBM. 43 , writing stories was simply a 44 interest. Tracy sent three of her stories to a publisher(出版商). 45 , they immediately suggested that she put them together to make a single one long 46 and paid Tracy a $50,000 in advance. “A pretty money,” said the publisher, “for 47 writer.”48 Tracy’s characters (人物) are interesting, her stories sometimes 49 readers uneasy: those about the supernatural. “My mother believed I could 50 the afterlife world,” she told a close friend. “She used to have me speak with my grandmother, who died many years ago.”“Can I?

The schools and the educators made it easy for us. They taught that it as all right to be parents who take a let-alone policy. We stopped making our children do homework. We gave them calculators, turned on the television, left the teaching to the teachers and went on vacation.Now teachers, faced with children who have been developing at their own pace for the past 15 years, are realizing we’ve made a terrible mistake. One such teacher is Sharon Klompus who speaks of her students “so passive” and wonders what has happened. Nothing is demanded of them, she believes. Television, says Klompus, contributes to children’s passivity. “We’re talking about a generation of kids who've never been hurt orhungry. They have learned somebody will always do it for them, instead of saying 'go and look it up’, you tell them the answer. It takes greater energy to say no to a kid.”Yes, it does. It takes energy and it takes work. It’s time for parents to end their vacation and come back to work. It's time to take the car away, to turn the TV off, to tell them it hurts you more than them but it's for their own good. It's time to start telling them no again.【1】Children are becoming more inactive in study because _______.A．they watch TV too often B．they have done too much homeworkC．they have to fulfill too many duties D．teachers are too strict with them【2】By “permissive period in education” (L.1, Para. 2) the author means a time _______.A．when everything can be taught at schoolB．when every child can be educatedC．when children are permitted to receive educationD．when children are allowed to do what they wish to【3】The main idea of the passage is that _______.A．parents should leave their children aloneB．kids should have more activities at schoolC．it's time to be more strict with our kidsD．parents should always set a good example to their kids3.Bicy cles are a great way to get around. They’re fun to ride, especially down hills. And, as you speed along the road, you might also think of ways in which you could improve your bike— make it safer, more efficient, or more comfortable. In fact, the two-wheeled machines make for some cool science projects.This year's Intel International Science and Engineering Fair (ISEF), held last May in Cleveland, featured（had）three bicycle projects from three countries. Like many of the other experiments presented at ISEF, the bike projects showed that some of the most interesting scientific research often begins by taking a closer look at things you care about.Renato Angulo Chu had even grander ambitions. The 12th-grader from Lima, Peru, wanted to address some of his country's economic troubles."I see a problem in my country," Renato said. "If you go to the forests in Peru, in some places you cannot find electricity. If you go with my bicycle, you can turn on the lights."Renato, 16, spent 3 years designing his special Multibike. The device looks like a fixed exercise bike. It has wires fixed along the frame and a blender strapped (fastened) to the back. Turning the pedals operates the blender. The same principle can be used to sharpen knives or sweep city streets.The Multibike can work either as a fixed bike or as a bicycle able to travel city streets and country roads. It's made from inexpensive materials, and the user gets exercise while pedaling to operate a machine."You pedal the bike, and you can mix any drink you want," Renato said. More importantly, he added, the same concept could be used to bring light to houses in remote regions of the rainforest.【1】What can we learn from the first paragraph?A．Bikes should be made more comfortable to ride.B．You can improve your bicycle for science research.C．Many inventions are connected with the bicycle.D．Bicycles are the best way to go about【2】Which of the following is true according to the passage?A．ISEF is an exhibiton displaying bicycle experiments designed by students.B．Looking closely at things you are concerned about can lead to scientific research.C．Renato’s improvement of the bicycle has solved the country’s great problem.D．Renato’s special bicycle will soon be put into use in remote areas.’【3】The underlined word “address” in the third paragraph probably has the same meaning as _______. A．make address written B．give up C．work at D．speak at【4】Renato’s special Multibike has all the following EXCEPT ________.A．making knives sharp B．mixing any kind of drinksC．producing electricity D．operating a machine with its own electricity【5】It can be inferred that Renato’s special bicycle is mainly designed for ________.A．distant areas in the rainforest without electricity.B．the use of his own family to make life easier.C．the competition of ISEF to win money to support remote rainforestsD．enough exercise by pedaling it4.I’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to see above the top of it as mother sat doing letters. Standing by her chair, looking at the ink bottle, pens and white paper, I decided that the act of writing must be the most wonderful thing in the world.Years later, during her final illness, mother kept different things for my sister and brother. “But the desk,” she said again, “is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry, never saw her cry. I knew she loved me; she showed it in action. But as a young girl, I wanted heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter.They never happened. And a gulf opened between us. I was “too emotional (易动感情的)”. But she lived “on the surface”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.I posted the letter and waited for her answer, none came.My hope turned to disappointment, then little interest and, finally, peace it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it, and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.Now the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been ab le to, that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside — a photo of my father and a one-page letter, folded (折叠) and refolded many times.Give me an answer, my letter asks, in any way you choose, Mother, you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.【1】The writer began to love her mother’s desk _______.A．after Mother died B．before she became a writerC．when she was a child D．when mother gave it to her【2】The passage shows that _______.A．Mother was too serious about everything her daughter had doneB．Mother cared much about her daughter in wordsC．Mother wrote to her daughter in careful words.D．Mother was cold on the surface but kind in her heart to her daughter【3】The world “gulf ” in the passage means _______.A．deep understanding between the old and the young.B．different ideas between the mother and the daughter.C．free talks between mother and daughter.D．part of the sea going far in land.【4】What did Mother do with her daughter’s letter asking for forgiveness?A．She had never received the letter.B．For years, she often talked about the letter.C．She didn’t forgive her daughter at all in all her life.D．She read the letter again and again till she died.【5】What’s the best title of the passage?A．My letter to Mother B．Mother and ChildrenC．My Mother’s Desk D．Talks between Mother and me.四、单词拼写1.单词拼写.(根据首字母或汉语提示，每空填写一词)（10分）【1】There is no (可能) that the crisis will be over in a short time.【2】It is u to treat girls and boys differently.【3】His first speech as president made a strong i on his audience.【4】In front of the village lives a foreign j (记者).【5】I bought this house for it’s .(方便)【6】She lives in a pleasant neighborhood and enjoys her s (环境).【7】When I saw the new freshmen, my own first day at high school (闪现) into my mind. 【8】He’s (连续不断）disturbing me.【9】A medical team c of fifteen doctors has been sent to the front.【10】The old man who happened to see the accident gave a brief （描述）of what happened.2.完成下列句子，每空一词（18分）【1】Our classroom should be ________ (打扫) after class every day.【2】 (担心着)the time available, she made a list of the sitesshe wanted to visit.【3】Playing games on the Internet (占用) most of his time .【4】 (暴露) the wind and rain, the car looks quite old.【5】We can’t (专注地) studies with the cars’ noises going on.【6】除了几个单词外，我对法语一无所知。
