Some of us think it is necessary, because the student's listening and oral English can be improved in this way. Meanwhile, this kind of arrangement can also promote our school's communication and cooperation with foreign schools, which will provide a chance for us to know more about the western cultures. What's more, the foreign teachers can improve the English teaching in our school. Especially, it is a good way to arouse students’ interest in learning English.But on the other hand, some students are strongly against it. They say they can’t understand the foreign teachers in class. Besides, some of them feel what they have taught has little to do with the National English Matriculation Test/ the College Entrance Examination. And they think it’s better to do some English exercises or have an exam for a change.In my opinion, as an old saying goes: every coin has two sides. It's good for us students in the long run, although foreign teachers may take up our valuable time.评分标准：方案一：要点14 + 观点3 +层次1 + 连贯1 + 高级词汇、亮点词句2 +词数2 + 卷面2 = 25分注：1.每个要点2分2.词数至少不得少于90词或9—10 行否则扣2分方案二：1.优秀21--25分①要点全面②观点表达充分③层次分明④能有效地使用连接成分⑤丰富的语言结构和亮点。

He’s being called the next Mozart because of his amazing abilities.He has only been having piano lessons for four months, and practices four hours a week, but he has already played difficult classical pieces. He was just seven when he sat down at the piano, and could play at once. He also says he never gets nervous.When Shane was three years old, he said that he could play the piano, but nobody took him seriously. At school, he could listen to the teacher and do his work while composing (作曲) in his head. Shame remembers all the melodies（旋律）,and when he gets home he plays them on the piano, while his father records them. Shane loves playing the piano, and when he grows up he wants to be a composer.His tutor, Richard Goffin-Lecar, says he is like Amadeus Mozart, who lived during the 18th century in Salzburg, Austria, and was one of the most famous composers ever. Mr. Goffin-lecar says, “I don’t teach Shane very much. I just give him directions, then sit back and watch.”His father, a single parent with two other children, says that although he has little money, he wants to send Shane to a good music school. “I’m a single father, but I have this gifted child. I don’t have much money, but I want to give him the best teachers, and also take him into a studio to record.”21. When did Shane tell others that he could play the piano?A. At age three.B. At age ten.C. At age seven.D. At age four.22. Which of the following is TRUE about Shane?A. He feels nervous while playing the pianoB. He can compose in his head while doing his work.C.

He’s a single father with two children.C. He believes in Shane’s talent f or music and will support him.D. Not having enough money, he will ask the teachers for helpBOne Canada, Two LanguagesCanada is one of the few nations in the world to have two official languages: English and French. There are 10 provinces in the country but only one of these—Quebec is known as “French Canada”. This is because it was founded by French explorers while British adventurers discovered the rest.Canada left the British empire(帝国) in 1867 to become an independent country and English and French have been recognized as the official languages ever since.Most people speak English as their first language and the two national television networks broadcast in English throughout the country. Apart from in Quebec and a few places on the east coast, French television is very rare.The same goes for traffic signs and menus, for example, outside of Quebec, there are only a few places where you’ll see traffic signs in French. In restaurants, it’s almost impossible to find French on the menu unless you are in the heartland (中心地带) of French Canada. However, all products sold in Canada must, by law, have labels (标签) and instructions in both languages.In Canada’s English speaking provinces, official bilingualism (双语) means that students can choose to complete a special French language course. Under this program, they are taught most of their subjects in French.If a student begins the course in kindergarten (幼儿园) or Grade One, it is likely that all their lessons will be in French. However, if they start at junior high school, 25 percent of the teaching will continue to be in English.24. How many provinces are there in Canada?A. Ten.B. Nine.C. Eleven.D. Two.25. Which country controlled Canada before its independence?A. France.B. Britain.C. America.D. Germany26. Where can you watch French television programs?A. Only in Quebec.B. In Quebec and a few other places.C. From the two national television networks.D. All over Canada27. What do we know about the education in Canada?A. In English speaking provinces only English courses are offered.B. If you choose a special French language course, most of the subjects are taughtin French.C. The courses in primary school are all taught in English.D. Most of the courses in junior high schools are taught in English.CThe Los Angeles Zoo has many public programs that aim to teach the public about animals and natural protection.Safari shuttle(旅游电车)While you’re here, take the Safari shuttle for a quick trip fr om one end of the Zoo to theother. All day long, seven days a week (from 10 am to 5 pm), the Safari Shuttle picks up passengers, circles the Zoo, and returns to the main flamingo (火烈鸟) exhibit near the front entrance. You can get on and off the shuttle as often as you like. FoodSafari Café (at the Zoo entrance) offers Starbucks coffee, fresh-baked cookies, and icecream. Gorilla Grill is the spot for grilled (烤的) food, kids’ meals, refreshments (点心), and ice cream. La Casita serves a variety of Mexican food and refreshments. Silverback's Cafe offers sandwiches, salads, bread bowls, cold beer, and refreshments.HourThe Zoo is open from 10 am to 5 pm every day of the year except Christmas Day. Special summer long hours are until 6 pm from July 1 to September 7. Please remember, the Zoo starts putting animals in for the night at 4 pm during regular hour, and at 5 pm during summer hours.Admission Prices(票价)Adults (aged 13 and above):$9Seniors (aged 62 and above):$6Children (aged 2 to 12):$4Children (under 2):freeItems Not Allowed on Zoo GroundsAlcohol, Glass bottles, Pets, Bicycles, Skateboards, and In--line skate.If you are planning a picnic while visiting the Zoo, please do not bring any glass items or other things that are easy to break.

When visiting the Los Angeles Zoo, people can___.A. ride a bike through the ZooB. have a picnic on the Zoo groundsC. take food with plastic bagsD. take their pets alongDIt has always been said that women are not good drivers, because they simply don't have very good driving ability. On the other hand, most car accidents happen to men; very few happen to women.From this, we can see that women are much more careful while driving. Another very interesting fact that we should point out is that in the past, women preferred to let their husbands be the only driver in the family rather than have a driving license. Somehow they were prevented from making this step in their lives, but nowadays there are many women that want to pass their driving tests from an early age.However, we have to admit that men are more skillful drivers than women, but this does not mean that a woman cannot become a good driver by accumulating (积累) experience. So more and more teenagers and women around the age of thirty now want to pass their driving tests. While taking their driving lessons, they also have a number of special lessons with their parents or somebody in the family that has a driving license, this is just to improve their driving abilities and help them to pass the tests more easily.To conclude, we can say that women are not such bad drivers. They just need more experience than men in order to be able to drive well. And on the other hand, there are a number of women that show better driving skills than the men around them.32. Compared with the past, nowadays many women___.A. prefer to have a driving licenseB. have more accidents while drivingC. are somehow prevented from drivingD. are the only driver in the family33.What advantage do women have over men in driving?A. They have more skills.B. They are much more carefulC. They know more traffic rulesD. They have more driving experience34.What can we infer from the passage?A. Teenage girls cannot take driving tests.B. Men didn't allow women to drive in the past.C. With enough experience, women can become good drivers.D. Women can easily pass their tests by taking driving lessons.35.The passage mainly talks about___.A. women and their driving ability.B. men and their driving ability.C. why men are better drivers than women.D. why more women like to have a driving license第二节七选五. 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

In short, things have been improving since the school began to carry outexploring study. In the past, the teachers always kept on explaining the knowledge points in class. We students just listened and took notes.But now we often discuss and try to solve the problems raised by the teachers or ourselves. After class, we enjoy different kinds of activities instead of doing endless homework. For example, we can read what we are interested in. We can go to the library or surf the Internet for various kinds of information.In my opinion, exploring study can not only help us learn much,but also make us enjoy study and become masters of study.Best wishes,YoursLi Hu。

I have learned from your letter that you are concerned about the smog which frequently appears in some areas of China. Thank you for your concern.There are some factors contributing to smog. For one thing, industry has developed so fast,which has made the environment more and more serous. For another, with the development of economy, an increasing number of people have their own cars, giving too much waste gas. Worsestill, both the government and individuals pay little attention to it, for lack of the awarenessof environmental protection.I’m also very worried about such terrible weather because it has broughtmuch inconvenienceor rather harm to people’s health such as traffic jam, road accidents, badcoughs, throat hurts andeven lung cancers and so on.As everybody knows, a good environment comes from good protection. So we should do whatwe can to make a difference. Try to drive less and choose air-friendly products. Only when every-one has the environmental awareness can wehave cleaner air.Hoping to hear from you soon and share your good ideas.。

It has already become the most popular show of 2013.In each episode of the program, five fathers spend 72 hours with their children in the countryside, taking care of them without help for the whole three days, while also taking part in a series of activities for the children and their dads to do together.“It is great fun to see them living in a new environment. There are a lot of funny moments,” said Liu Liping, a 28-year-old fan of the show living in Beijing. “Some parts of the program are touching too. The fathers are always busy working and seldom have time to be with their kids. The time they spend together during the program is especially sweet and unforgettable,” said Liu.Just what is it about the show that makes it so popular? “It pays close attention to social reality. Dads always focus on earning more money. They put more weight on making a better life for their families than they do spending time with their kids,” said Xie Dikui, general director of the show. As the father of a 3-year-old daughter, Xie said, “After making this program, I feel I really should spend more time with her. Busy as these fathers are being famous people, they are able to spare time for their kids. We can do better than that.”Most of fathers say that they know this is a problem but that they are helpless when it comes to changing it. “I often have to work overtime in the evening. When I get home late at night, my daughter is already asleep, ”said Tang Jun, father of a 2-year-old girl in Beijing. “I wish I could have more time to be with my daughter. She is so lovely. No matter how tired I am when I come home from work, all that goes away when I see her,” said Tang, “But I have to keep working like this if I want to stay in this position or get a promotion.”36. Which of the following is TRUE about the program Where Are We Going, Dad?A. It is a TV show where fathers teach how to educate kids.B. It is a program produced by five father and their kids.C. It is a TV show sweeping the country.D. It is the most popular film of 2013.37. How does Liu Liping feel about the TV show?A. Surprised.B. Touched.C. Doubted.D. Disappointed.38. From what Tang Jun said, we can learn _____.A. children are not willing to stay with fathersB. father have to spend much time on their jobsC. mothers should work harder instead of fathersD. fathers don’t realize this is a problemPassage BThere was a story many years ago of a school teacher—Mrs Thompson. She told the children on the first day that she loved them all the same. But that was a lie. There in the first row was a little boy named Teddy Stoddard. He did not play well with the other children and he always needed a bath. She did not like him.Then Mrs Thompson got to know that Teddy was actually a very good boy before the death of his mother. Mrs Thompson was ashamed of herself. She felt even worse when, like all her other students, Teddy brought her a Christmas present too. It was his mother’s perfume(香水).Teddy said, “Mrs Thompson, today you smell just like my Mom used to.” After the children left she cried for at least an hour. On that very day, she stopped teaching reading, writing and math. Instead, she began to teach children.Mrs Thompson paid particular attention to Teddy. The boy’s mind seemed to come alive.The more she encouraged him, the faster he improved. By the end of the sixth grade, Teddy had become one of the smartest children in the class.Six years went by before she got a note from Teddy. He wrote that he had finished high school, third in his class, and she was still the best teacher he ever had in his whole life. He went to college. Mrs Thompson got two more letters from him with the last one signed, Theodore F.Stoddard, M.D.(医学博士)The story doesn’t end there. On his wedding day, Dr Stoddard whispered in Mrs Thompson’s ear,“Thank you, Mrs Thompson, for believing in me. You made me feel important and showed me that I could make a difference.”Mrs Thompson, with tears in her eyes, whispered back, “Teddy, you have it all wrong. You were the one who taught me that I could make a difference. I didn’t know how to reach until I met you.”39. What did Mrs Thompson do on the first day of school?A. She made Teddy feel ashamed.B.

To make room for the new station, much of the city’s original Chinatown was leveled. The station’s design, conceived by the father-son architect team of John andDonald Parkinson, mixes Streamline Moderne and Spanish Colonial styles, along with Moorish accents here and there.

Then again, teenagers have 1 feelings about their parents, saying that it is not easy living with them. According to a recent research, the most common 2 between parents and teenagers is that regarding untidiness and daily routine tasks. On the one hand, parents go mad over 3 rooms, clothes thrown on the floor and their children’s refusal to help with the 4 . On the other hand, teenagers lose their patience continually when parents blame them for 5 the towel in the bathroom, not cleaning up their room or refusing to do the shopping at the supermarket.The research, conducted by St. George University, shows that different parents have different 6 to these problems. However, some approaches are more 7 than others. For example, those parents who yell at their children for their untidiness, but 8 clean the room for them, have fewer chances of changing their children’s 9 . On the contrary, those who let teenagers experience the 10 of their actions can do better. For example, when teenagers who don’t help their parents with the shopping don’t find their favorite drink in the refrigerator, they are forced to 11 their actions.Psychologists say that 12 is the most important thing in parent-child relationships. Parents should 13 to their children but at the same time they should lend an ear to what they have to say. Parents may 14 their children when they are untidy but they should also understand that their room is their own private space. Communication is a two-way process. It is only by listening to and 15 each other that problems between parents and children can be settled.1. A. natural B. strong C. guilty D. similar2. A. interest B. argument C. link D. knowledge3.

She passed out paper and pieces of cloth.Mary looked for a while at the blue cloth and began to cut it. Then she 31 her paper in half and began writing. When Mary finally looked at the message the teacher gave on the paper, she noticed something else. She felt her 32 grow hot---she hadn’t heard that anyone who didn’t have a mother could make one for a grandmother or an aunt.As her teacher 33 to her, Mary tried covering her card with her arm, but Mrs. Berry gently lifted it so that she could 34 it. Mary sat 35 , waiting for her to say something, but she saw a 36 roll down Mrs. Berry’s face. She had never made Mrs. Berry so 37 .When school was over, Mary 38 until all the other kids left so that she could apologize . “I’m sorry for not listening. I’ll make another card 39 you want.

And I remember one night in particular when she had made breakfast after a long, hard day at hospital.On that evening so long ago, my Mom placed a plate of eggs, sausage and extremely burned toast in front of my dad. I remember waiting to see if anyone noticed! Yet all my dad did was reach for his toast, smile at my Mom and ask me how my day was at school. I don't remember what I told him that night, but I do remember watching him spread butter and jelly on that toast and eat every bite!When I got up from the table that evening, I remember hearing my Mom apologize to my dad for burning the toast. And I'll never forget what he said: "Honey, I love burned toast."Later that night, I went to kiss Daddy good night and I asked him if he really liked his toast burned. He took me in his arms and said, "Your Momma put in a hard day at work today and she's really tired. And besides – a little burned toast never hurt anyone!"You know, life is full of imperfect things and imperfect people. What I’ve learned over the years is that learning to accept each other’s faults is one of the most important keys to creating a healthy, growing, and lasting relationship. This good quality is the base of any relationship --- husband-wife or parent-child or friendship! As far as I’m concerned, I’m not the best engineer as expected. However, I have made my efforts. That’s enough.So learn to take the good, the bad, and the ugly parts of your life. Burnt toast isn’t a deal-breaker! Don’t put the key to your happiness in someone else’s pocket but into your own.51. When his mother put the burnt biscuit on the table, the author _____.A. wanted to see how his father reactedB. pretended not to notice itC. pretended to enjoy the burnt foodD. stopped his father eating the burnt toast52. We can infer from the passage that the author’s mother .A. She was not good at cooking.B. She hardly had time to cook at home.C. She felt sorry for the burnt food.D. She spent more time on breakfast than dinner.53. How did the author feel when his father said he loved burnt toast?A. Moved.B. PuzzledC.Surprised.D. Disappointed.54. According to the text, to get a happy life, one should______ .A. give help to people in needB. try to be a perfect personC. learn from one’s mistakesD. learn to be understandingBYou may not pay much attention to your daily elevator ride. Many of us use a lift several times during the day without really thinking about it. But Lee Gray, PhD of the University of North Carolina, US, has made it his business to examine this overlooked form of public transport. He is known as the “Elevator Guy”.“The lift becomes this interesting social space where etiquette (礼仪) is sort of odd (奇怪的),” Gr ay told the BBC. “Elevators are socially very interesting but often very awkward (尴尬的) places.”We walk in and usually turn around to face the door. If someone else comes in, we may have to move. And here, according to Gray, lift users unthinkingly go through a set pattern of movements. He told the BBC what he had observed.He explained that when you are the only one inside a lift, you can do whatever you want –it’s your own little box.If there are two of you, you go into different corners, standing diagonally (对角线地) across from each other to create distance.When a third person enters, you will unconsciously form a triangle（三角形）. And when there is a fourth person it becomes a square, with someone in every corner. A fifth person is probably going to have to stand in the middle.New entrants to the lift will need to size up the situation when the doors slide open and then act according to their decisions. Once in, for most people the rule is simple – look down, or look at your phone.Why are we so awkward in lifts?“You don’t have enough space,” Professor Babette Renneberg, a clinical psychologist at the Free University of Berlin, told the BBC. “Usually when we meet other people, we have about an arm’s length of distance between us. And that’s not possible in most elevators.”In such a small, enclosed space it becomes very important to act in a way that cannot be understood as threatening or odd. “The easiest way to do this is to avoid eye contact(接触) ,” she said.55. According to Gray, when people enter an elevator, they usually _____.A. turn around and greet one anotherB. look around or examine their phoneC. try to keep a distance from other peopleD. make eye contact with those in the elevator56. Which of the following describes how people usually stand when there are at least two people in an elevator? (Thepoint in the chart refers to one person.)57. The underlined phrase “size up” in Paragraph 7 is closest in meaning to _____.A. ignoreB. judgeC. put up withD. make the best of58. According to the article, people feel awkward in lifts because of _____.A. the lack of spaceB. someone’s odd behaviorsC. their unfamiliarity with one anotherD. their eye contact with one anotherCSome people think that success is only for those with talent or those who grow up in the right family, and others believe that success mostly comes down to luck. I’m not going to say luck, talent, and circumstances(环境) don’t come into play because they do. Some people are born into the right family while others are born with great intelligence, and that’s just the reality of how life is.However, to succeed in life, one first needs to set a goal and then gradually make it more practical. And, in addition to that, in order to get really good at something, one needs to spend at least 10,000 hours studying and practicing. To become great at certain things, it’ll require even more time, time that most people won’t put in.This is a big reason why many successful people advise you to do something you love. If you don’t enjoy what you do, it is going to feel like unbearable(不可忍受的) pain and will likely make you quit(放弃) well before you ever become good at it.When you see people exhibiting some great skills or having achieved great success, you know that they have put in a huge part of their life to get there at a huge cost. It’s sometimes easy to think they got lucky or they were born with some rare talent, but thinking that way does you no good, and there’s a huge chance that you’re wrong anyway.Whatever you do, if you want to become great at it, you need to work day in and day out, almost to the point of addiction, and over a long period of time. If you’re not willing to put in the time and work, don’t expect to receive any rewards. Consistent(坚持不懈的), hard work won’t guarantee(保证) you the level of success you may want, but it will guarantee that you will become really good at whatever it is you put all that work into.59. What can we learn from paragraph 1?A. the meaning of successB. the reasons for successC. the standards of successD. the importance of success60. Paragraph 2 tells us .A. how to succeedB. why to set a goalC. how to get good at somethingD. how to practice61.That successful people suggest doing what one loves is based on the fact that .A. work makes one feel painB. one tends to enjoy his workC. it takes a lot of time to succeedD. one gives up his work easily62. What is the main idea of the passage?A. Having a goal is important to success.B. Luck, talent and family help to achieve success.C. Being good is different from being great.D. One cannot succeed without time and practice.DEnough sleep is important to health. The amount of sleep needed depends on the age of the person and the conditions in which sleep takes place. The young may need more sleep than the old, but usually eight hours are enough for the health of grown-ups. Some can do with less than this amount, but others may need more. Every person knows his own need. It is then a matter of good judgment(判断) to satisfy his need. Sleep should always be enough to make one bring back his strength and get ready for a day’s work.Fresh air is necessary to sound sleep. It is not without reason for some people to think that it is practicable to sleep in the open air. When one can keep himself warm, out-of-door sleeping probably gives the body its most complete relaxation(松弛).Ability(能力) to sleep is largely a habit. The conditions referred to only lead to sleep. Out-of-door exercises, a good habit of regular hours and the avoidance(避免) of late eating and worry, which are largely within the control of any person, are all helpful to sound sleep.A bath at bedtime, neither hot nor cool but of body temperature, may be helpful to sleep. Sleep-producing drug(药) should never be taken except when suggested by a doctor.63. We know from the passage is enough for the health of a pupil.A. equal or more than eight hoursB. seven hours or soC. Eight hours or soD. Less than eight hours64. If you want to have a good sleep, is helpful.A. forming the habit of taking sleep-producing drug.B. keeping good habits.C. staying up late night.D. eating something at bedtime.65. The amount of sleep a person probably needs has something to do with .A. his characterB. his controlC. his ageD. his habit66. Before going to bed, you’d better not .A. take a bathB. do any houseworkC. go out for relaxationD. think a lotEChildren who spend more time reading with their parents have a greater chance of becoming better readers than those who don’t. With help from their parents, children can learn techniques(技巧) to improve their reading skills.“A lot of parents think after their child learns to read, they should stop reading to them,” Donna George said. “They are sadly mistaken.”George offers her services to parents at the Title I Learning Centers. She said reading aloud to children may be the most valuable(有价值的) thing parents can do. “It is better for children to hear things at a higher level than where they are,”George said. “Parents are their child’s first teacher.”Parents help their children build listening, phonics(拼读法), comprehension(阅读理解) and vocabulary skills when they read aloud to them.Before parents can identify reading problems, they should escape the enemy----television and limit the time their children spend watching television. George suggested not allowing kids to have a TV in their bedrooms, setting a schedule of when kids can watch or keeping a list of how many programs children watch. Louise Joiners said while her 14-year-old daughter and 10-year-old son enjoy reading, the television sometimes becomes a distraction. So she tries to build the situation by suggesting books the entire family will enjoy reading together, like the Harry Potter series.Parents who do not read themselves should not depend on their children being enthusiastic about it. If parents would read to their children at least 15 minutes every day, children would not have so many problems in school. It is the parents’job to help build that desire in their children, and of course to know what kind of books to read is also important.67. The underlined word “distraction” means something that .A. can improve children’s reading.B. can make children interestedC. can make children not pay their attentionD. can help children’s right way of reading68. In the fourth paragraph is the most important.A. reading speedB. reading environmentC. reading skillsD. reading materials69. If the passage is not completed, what will be written after the passage?A. What TV programs children can watch during reading.B. Advice is given to control their children.C. Parents choose reading materials for their children.D. How children improve their reading by themselves.70. Which one would be the best title for the passage?A. Parents Are Their Child’s First Teacher.B. How to Improve Children’s Reading Ability.C. Children Spend More Time Reading with Parents.D. How Parents Make Their Child a Better Reader.21-25CBCAD 26-30 CAABC31-35 CCCCA 36-40 ABADC 41-45 CABAB 46-50 CBDBA51-54ACBD 55-58 CCBA 59-62 BACD 63-66 ABCD 67-70 CBCD。
