ADear students,Most of us get some exercise walking or riding our bikes to school, but that just is not enough. Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world — soccer?Two weeks ago, Mr. Goldstein, the physical education teacher, posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 10-12). To join, all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings. Yo u‘ll make new friends and share information about famous teams and playersMr. Goldstein will teach, s o you‘ll learn basic skills and new techniques to improve your game. That‘s good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year. The only time you can‘t play is when there i s snow.However, it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club. Maybe kids don‘t want to give up their Saturday mornings. But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now, soccer looks good. Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends. If you didn‘t sign up because you‘ve never played soccer before, don‘t worry. Beginners are welcome and Mr. Goldstein will give you more help.Just act now! The equipment is cheap. All you have to bring is your feet.The Students‘ Union21. What can we learn about the club?A. It was probably started two weeks ago.B. It is available every day except on Saturdays.C. It was first set up for beginners.D. It is just open to students of Grade 12.22. What does the writer think of playing soccer?A. It is as interesting as watching TV.B. It makes people famous easily.C. It is a very dangerous game.D. It does students a lot of good.23. The writer writes the passage mainly to __________.A. talk about how to be an excellent soccer playerB. introduce Mr. Goldstein to the students of Grades 10-12C. advise the students to take more exerciseD. encourage the students to join a soccer clubBMy teacher, Mr. August J. Bachmann, was the most influential teacher I ever had.I had gotten into trouble in his class: Another student had pushed me for fun, and I became angry and began to hit him. Mr. Bachmann stopped the fight, but instead of sending me to the office, he sat me down and asked a simple question: "Penna, why are you wasting your life? Why aren't you going to college?"I didn't know anything about colleges or scholarships. No one had ever considered that a fatherless boy from the poorest neighborhood had a future. That day, instead of rushing off for lunch, he stayed and explained possible education options to me. At the end of our talk, he sent me to see a secretary who had a child at a state college. This was in 1962 at Emerson High School in Union City, New Jersey.Well, 53 years have passed, and what have I done with the knowledge he gave me? I gained a PhD from Fordham University when I was only 29. I taught English and social studies and then moved up the chain of command from teacher to principal(校长).I've sat on the board for Magnet Schools of America and represented that organization at the United Nations. I've won a number of great educational awards. But where would I be if a truly caring teacher had not taken the time out of his lunch period to speak to me? It was withoutquestion only his confidence in me that helped me forward.I have repaid his kindness hundreds of times by encouraging misguided youngsters to aim higher. If I have saved any children, it is because of him. If I have been a successful educator, it is because I had a great role model in Mr. Bachmann.24. The writer ________ before Mr. Bachmann talked to him.A. was an active boy.B. liked making troubles in class.C. was an aimless boy.D. would get punished by his teachers.25. Which of the following best describes Mr. Bachmann?A. Fair.B. Confident.C. Inspiring.D. Humorous.26. How did Mr. Bachmann influence the writer?A. He set the writer on the right path.B. He tried to set a good example to the writer.C. He was strict with the writer.D. He helped the writer with his study.27. What does the writer think of his achievement?A. He is very proud of himself.B. He feels his effort gets paid off at last.C. He owes his achievement to Mr. Bachmann.D. He thinks it an honor to be a successful educator.CA school in Nanjing plans to order Korean-style school uniforms for students, but parents were against the move, believing that the new uniforms looked too good and would encourage early romances among the students.Parents―My daughter was so excited about the Korean-style uniform, saying it‘s her dream to wear a miniskirt to school ev ery day,‖ a mom said. ―My daughter also called her classmates to talk about how handsome the boys looked in the uniforms! If the students wear such beautiful uniforms, how can they concentrate on their studies?‖SchoolWe had to stop the plan because many parents were strongly against it. Some parents thought it was just a way for the school to make money, and others thought the new uniforms would take students‘ attention away from their studies.StudentsThe students were very disappointed about the sch ool‘s final decision. They thought the sportswear uniforms made them look androgynous (兼具两性的). They said the Koreanuniforms had many advantages such as raising interest in class and lifting confidence.As for concerns about romance, the students believe that love is love and has no relationship to the uniforms.The Department of EducationWe don‘t have a unified standard for school uniforms. The schools can choose their own styles. Either sportswear or other uniforms are OK. Currently, most middle and elementary schools in Nanjing have sportswear uniforms.ExpertFashionable school uniforms can increase students‘ interest in learning.Parents don‘t need to worry too much about early romances. Today‘s primary and middle school students have strong personalities and their appreciation of beauty is rapidly forming. A fashionable uniform can foster (培养) their sense of belonging to the school and reduce their resistance (抵抗) to the school‘s management.But we don‘t have to follow Korean or Japanese styles. W e should design our own Chinese style uniforms.28. Which of the following is NOT the parents‘reason for being against Korean-style school uniforms?A. The uniforms will encourage early romances.B. It is a way for the school to make money.C. The new uniforms don‘t wash well.D. The new uniforms will affect the students‘ studies.29. Students think the new uniforms will _____.A. make them have good taste in fashionB. make them feel confidentC. make them feel proud of their schoolD. reduce their fear of teachers30. The opinion of the expert is to _____.A. forbid the students to wear fashionable uniformsB. encourage the students to wear sportswear uniformsC. design uniforms in a Chinese styleD. wear new uniforms in a foreign style31. We can infer from the passage that _____.A. school uniforms are mostly blue or blackB. few students are willing to wear school uniformsC. school uniforms are a waste of moneyD. schools are encouraged to choose their own uniformsDSome people are so rude!Who sends an e-mail or a text message that just says “Thank you”? Who leaves a voice mail message rather than texts you? Who asks for a fact easily found on Google? Don't these people realize that they're wasting your time?Maybe I'm the rude one for not appreciating life's little politeness. But many social agreed standards just don't make sense to people drowning in digital communication.In texts, you don't have to declare who you are or even say hello; E-mail, too, is slower than a text; Voice mail is a now impolite way of trying to connect.My father learned this lesson after leaving me a dozen voice mail messages, none of which I listened to. Exasperated, he called my sister to express his dissatisfaction that I never returned his phone calls. ―Why are you leaving him voice mails?‖ my sister asked. ―Just text him.‖In the age of the smartphone, there is no reason to ask once-acceptable questions about: the weather forecast, a business's phone number, or directions to a house, a restaurant, which can be easily found on Google Maps. But people still ask these things. And when you answer, they respond with a thank-you e-mail.How to handle these differing standards? Easy: Consider your audience. Some people, especially older ones, appreciate a thank-you message. Others, like me, want no reply.The anthropologist(人类学家) Margaret Mead once said that in traditional societies, the young learn from the old. But in modern societies, the old can also learn from the young. Here's hoping that politeness never goes out of fashion but that time-wasting forms of communication do.32. What does the underlined word "exasperated" mean in the fifth paragraph?A. Worried.B. Annoyed.C. Surprised.D. Tired.33. Why didn't the writer reply to his father?A. He didn‘t want to talk with his father.B. He liked text messages better.C. He didn‘t receive any voice mail messages.D. He enjoyed checking his voice mails.34. Which of the following does the writer agree to?A. Dealing with voice mail should vary with each individual.B. Declaring who they are or saying hello in texts is necessaryC. People needn't learn from one another in traditional societies.D. People needn‘t turn to Google for help when in trouble.35. What's the best title of this passage?A. Nowadays: what means should we use in communicationB. Nowadays: do you like leaving others a voice messageC. Nowadays: what should we do with text messagesD. Nowadays: do you need a thank-you message第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）With the development of science and technology, mobile phones have been an important communication tool in our modern life. 36____First, 37__ Mobile phones make it convenient for people to keep in touch with each other wherever they are. If we have a mobile phone, it is possible for us to contact anyone at any time and anywhere. We could call our clients and customers for business. And we can send messages, including text and picture messages to our friends for personal affairs.In addition, mobile phones have been multifunctional nowadays since their advanced development. We can use them to take photos instead of using digital cameras. We can also use phones to surf the internet, update our personal micro-blog, and upload our latest pictures at any place, anytime. Mobile phones can be used as radios or recorders or for playing music. 3839 Sometimes we would not like to be available to anybody at any time; sometimes we receive so many rubbish messages.In conclusion, 40 They are really a great invention, which makes our life more convenient and colorful.A. But mobile phones often place you in a dilemma进退两难.B. mobile phones bring us more benefits than disadvantages.C. mobile phones really bring great convenience to our lives.D. mobile phones play an important part in our work.E. However, some small troubles would visit you after using it for some time.F. And they can also be game players.G. Thanks to them, our life becomes easy and colorful.第三部分完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）“Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words can never hurt me.‖A long time ago, my friend Joan believed it.
