Our chemistry teacher，Mr. Langford，takes us to 34 science lectures about four times a term，and these are 35 very interesting，as the lecturers are people who have made real discoveries in 36 area of science. The fact is，Canada has 37 first-class scientists. In the last twenty years，seven Canadian scientists have 38 the Nobel Prize! The Nobel Prize is the highest scientific prize，so we should be very 39 of that.I’m becoming more and more interested 40 physics，and have decided that I want to 41 it at university.

Suddenly I had to 48 my toys andthere were no more bedtime stories or my own choice of food.Finally，I felt my 49 at my brother. The poor baby had no idea what had made me so unhappy. Maybe he found me strange，the only person in this house 50 did not like him. Whatever the reason was，he loved 51 me around. However，I seldom talked to him and 52 asked him to leave me alone.Then all that changed. I hardly remember everything of that day six years ago，53 I do remember that I was feeling very angry. Somehow my feet led me to my brother’s bed. My hand，completely 54 from my mind，reached through the bars. At once，he reached his small hand and softly touched 55 . And that was all I needed. Through all the unhappiness of the day，that one moment changed 56 . How could I hate someone who made me feel so important? For the 57 time，I saw my brother，not through the eyes of a child who was no longer favored，but through the eyes of a 58 .To this day，I can’t imagine life 59 my brother.

Our English teacher，Miss Wang，has taught us a good way of remembering things to make our own yearbook. What is a yearbook? A yearbook is a kind of book which is used to keep the memory of exciting moments. It’s usually made at the end of the year.Last December，we began to make our yearbook. First we chose the persons who had done something special，then some students interviewed (采访) them，some wrote down their stories，others took photos of them. Everyone in our class had something to do. Finally our teacher helped us to put the things together. We had our first yearbook.All of us put a lot of love into making the yearbook. It is so wonderful that not only the students but also our parents and teachers will remember the special time for ever.61.

In all the big cities，television and newspaper reporters interviewed him.He travelled with fifteen kilogrammes of equipment，which he pulled behind him on a homemade trailer. His equipment included a tent，a change of clothes and a video camera.A friend，David Lai，made a web site (), and Fabrice sent regular news to the site. He wrote in English so that people all over the world could understand. Thousands of people sent emails to Fabrice during his journey. People saw him on television and read about him，and many readers and listeners offered to help him. Fabrice asked them to send money to a medical research organization. In this way，he raised a lot of money for important medical research.Between stops，he travelled 100 kilometers on good days．But there were also bad days and problems：bad weather，broken skates，dangerous drivers，snakes on the roads in Mexico，and a wolf attack in Mongolia.

People knew very little about them. They didn’t know how old they were，where they lived or what their favorite sports were. Most people didn’t even know their names.Then came the 1980s，the era (时代)of the super model. This was when some models became so famous that they became as well known as Hollywood film stars. Most people today have heard of Naomi Campbell，Kate Moss，Elle Macpherson，Claudia Schiffer and the other supermodels. Stories about them appear in magazines. Journalists interview them. Television documentaries have been made about their lives. There are also hundreds of supermodel websites created by fans. On these websites，fans include information about the model’s weight，shoe size and hair color.One of the reasons these models became so famous was the huge amounts of money they were paid. Canadian supermodel Linda Evangelista once said, “I won’t get out of bed for less than $10,000(£6,500) a day.” Claudia Schiffer had a four-year contract (合同) with the cosmetics (化妆品)company revlon. The company paid her £ 4,000,000 for just thirty day’s work per year－that’s more than 130,000 per day!Supermodels don’t make their money just from posing for the camera or walking down the catwalk. They have discovered many other areas where they can market themselves: films，television shows，exercise videos，calendars，and even the lingerie (女内衣) business. Elle Macpherson has her own underwear company which makes millions of pounds a year.Supermodels have many other things in common, too.They travel all over the world to work. They own houses and flats in many different places.71．Before the 1980s，．Ａ．supermodels didn’t existＢ．models were as well known as Hollywood starsＣ．some models were called supermodelsＤ．People knew the names of many models72．How do people get to know about the lives of supermodels？Ａ．By watching their shows Ｂ．By calling their mobilesC．By surfing their websites Ｄ．By sending presents to them73．For one day’s work，Linda Evangelista expects to be paid________ ．Ａ．￡6，500 more Ｂ．less than￡6，500Ｃ．￡4 million Ｄ．more than￡130，00074．which of the following is not true？Ａ．Supermodels are paid too much money．Ｂ．Nowadays supermodels are just as famous as Hollywood stars．Ｃ．Supermodels don’t just make money from modeling．Ｄ．All the supermodels have their own underwear companies ．75．What makes supermodels so famous？Ａ．Stories，interviews，TV documents，etc Ｂ．Their physical appearance．Ｃ．The modeling jobs they do. Ｄ．The businesses they run．（D）Cara Lang is 13. She lives in Boston，Massachusetts，in the US. Last Thursday，she didn’t go to school. She went to work with her father instead. Every year，on the fourth Thursday in April，millions of young girls go to work. This is Take Our Daughters to Work Day. The girls are between the ages of 9 and 15. They spend the day at work with an adult，usually a mother or father. They go to offices，police stations，laboratories，and other places where their parents or other family members work.The Ms Foundation，an organization for women，started the programme about ten years ago. In the US，many women work outside the home. The Ms Foundation wanted girls to find out what many different kinds of jobs were. Then, when the girls grow up, they can choose a job they like.Cara′s father is a police officer. Cara says，“It was very exciting for me to go to the police station with my dad. I saw a lot of people doing different jobs.”Many businesses have special activities for girls on this day. Last year，Cara went to work with her mother at the University of Massachusetts. In the engineering department，the girls learned to build a bridge with toothpicks （牙签）and sweets. In the chemistry department，they learned to use a microscope. They learned about many other kinds of jobs, too.76. Why didn’t Cara go to school last Thursday?A. Because she didn’t feel well.B. Because she wanted to find a job.C.

Oil is now the 33 important export of several desert countries in the Middle East, and it has been 34 in the western Sahara; Saudi Arabia, Iraq and Kuwait are sometimes called oil kingdoms.Man has 35 the desert in many ways to make it a better place 36 to live. But the greatest problem of the deserts 37 .That problem is the 38 water over large areas. Man is turning to the sea 39 water.Scientists are constantly 40 methods of 41 the salt from water so that it can be used in industry and agriculture. This is called desalinization(脱盐).Perhaps the use of atomic power will make desalinization 42 expensive in the future. Some people believe that man will one day be able to 43 the climate and produce rainfall over the desert when it is wanted. This would be a simple 44 to the water problem, but we need to know much more about the atmosphere 45 that will be possible.31.A rarely worthless B nearly useless C almost of no use D rarely invaluable32.A. brought up B has brought C have led up to D has caused up33.A most B very C little D least34.A uncovered B discovered C unearthed D founded out35.A altered B changed C transformed D reformed36.

Sports are fun, and children keep healthy while playing with others. However, playing sports can have 46 effectson children. It may produce feelings of poor self-respect or aggressive behavior in some children. According to research on kids and sports, 40,000,000 kids play sports in the US. Of these, 18,000,000 say they have been 47 at or called names while playing sports. This leaves many children with a bad 48 of sports. They think sports are just too aggressive.Many researchers believe adults, especially parents and coaches, are the main 49 of too much aggression in children′s sports. They believe children 50 aggressive adult behavior. This behavior is then further strengthened through both positive and negative feedback. Parents and coaches are powerful teachers because children usually look up to them. Often these adults behave aggressively themselves, sending children the message that 51 is everything. Many parents go to children′s sporting events and shout 52 at other players or cheer when their child behaves 53 . As well, children arc even taught that hurting other players is 54 or are pushed to continue playing even when they are injured.55 , the media makes violence seem exciting. Children watch adult sports games and see violent behavior replayed over and over on television.As a society, we really need to 56 this problem and do something about it. Parents and coaches 57 should act as better examples for children. They also need to teach children better 58 . They should not just cheer when children win or act aggressively. They should teach children to 59 themselves whether they win or not. Besides, children should not be allowed to continue to play when they are injured. If adults allow children to play when injured, this gives the message that60 is not as important as winning.46. A. restrictive B. negative C. active D. instructive47.

Some parents try to get rid of half of the candy after their children go to bed, but dentists say parents also need to separate the good kinds of treats from the bad.It is not exactly what a child eats that truly matters, but how much time it stays in his mouth. According to pediatric dentist Dr. Kaneta Lott, the most damaging stuff is something that is sticky or very hard and thus stays in the mouth for a long time. This is because we all have bacteria in our mouths. When we eat, the bacteria take our food as their food and produce an acid that destroys the surface of the teeth, causing cavities to form. The longer the food stays in the mouth, the morelikely cavities will develop. Therefore, potato chips are worse than candy because they get stuck between teeth. For the same reason, raisins and crackers are not the best choice. Hard candies take a long time to consume and are also a bad choice for Halloween treats.If children really love candy, dentists recommend that they eat chocolate instead. Unlike hard candies, chocolate dissolves quickly in the mouth. Besides, chocolate contains tannins, which help to kill some of the bacteria in the mouth. But mo matter what a child eats ,brushing after each meal is still the best way to fight cavities.66.What is the main purpose of this passage?A.T o discuss how cavities can be treatedB.To point out the problems with Halloween celebrationsC.To tell parents what sweets are less damaging to their children’s teethD.T o teach parents the meaning of Halloween candies for their children67.Why are hard candies especially bad for teeth?A.They may break the child’s teethB.they contain too much sugarC.They help bacteria to produce tanninsD.They stay in the mouth for a long time68.According to the passage, which of the following is a better choice for Halloween treats?A. ChocolateB. CrackersC. RaisinsD. Potato chips69.According to the passage, which of the following is true of tannins?A.They are produced when the bacteria digest the foodB.They help to get rid of some bacteria in the mouthC.They help chocolate to dissolve more quicklyD.They destroy the surface of the teeth（C）On December 26,2003, the worst earthquake in more than a decade devastated Bam, a historicity in Iran. At least 25,000 people died in the quake---nearly a third of the city’s population. And thousands more were left homeless, hungry, and grieving.Bam was a city of mud-brick houses, old monuments and an ancient castle. But nearly everything crumbled in the disaster. One reason the earthquake caused such damage was that Bam’s buildings were made mostly from baked mud. These buildings collapsed in heaps of dust and sand.Bam was best known for its 2,000-year-old castle built out of mud, straw, and the trunks of palm tress. The castle was so big that it was once the city of Bam itself. Public dwellings lined its ground level; a marketplace and two mosques also fit comfortably inside.Bam once blossomed as a trading post on the Silk Road. In the 16th and 17th centuries, treasures from the Far East were carried along the road into the capital cities of Europe. Fifty years ago, teams of architects began restoring the historic treasures of the city. Ever since, thousands of visitors have come to admire them.In the face of this tragedy, food and other supplies from around the world landed in the provincial capital of Kerman on Sunday. With such support, spiritual leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei vowed, “We will rebuild Bam stronger than before.”70.This passage is most likely taken from a(n) .A. newspaperB. history textbookC. book review D .magazine on international trade71.What was Bam most famous for?A. Beautiful palm treesB. Frequent earthquakesC. An old mud and straw castleD. Treasures from the Far East72.The use of baked mud for buildings explains .A. why the earthquake occurredB.why Bam collected so many treasuresC.why Bam developed into a trading postD.why the earthquake caused such damage73.Which of the following is CORRECT about the earthquake in Bam?A. About 50,000 people survived the earthquakeB. Not many countries sent food and supplies to BamC. The 2003 earthquake was the first one in its historyD. The city of Bam would be deserted after the earthquake（D）Twenty years ago, I drove a taxi for a living. One night I went to pick up a passenger at 2:30 AM. When I arrived to collect, I found the building was dark except for a single light in a ground floor window.I walked to the door and knocked. “Just a minute,”answered a weak, elderly voice.After a long pause, the door opened. A small woman in her eighties stood before me. By her side was a small suitcase.I took the suitcase to the car, and then returned to help the woman. She took my arm and we walked slowly toward the car.She kept thanking me for my kindness. “It′s nothing,”I told her. “I just try to treat my passengers the way I would want my mother treated.”“Oh, you′re such a good man,”she said. When we got into the taxi, she gave me an address, and then asked, “Could you drive through downtown?”“It′s not the shortest way,”I answered quickly.“Oh, I′m in no hurry,”she said. “I′m on my way to a hospice（临终医院）. I don′t have any family left. The doctor says I don′t have very long.”I quietly reached over and shut off the meter（计价器）.For the next two hours, we drove through the city. She showed me the building where she had once worked, the neighborhood where she had lived, and the furniture shop that had once been a ballroom where she had gone dancing as a girl.Sometimes she′d ask me to slow down in front of a particular building and would sit staring into the darkness, saying nothing.At dawn, she suddenly said, “I′m tired. Let′s go now.”We drove in silence to the address she had given me.“How much do I owe you?”she asked.“Nothing,”I said.“You have to make a living,”she answered. “Oh, there are other passengers,”I answered.Almost without thinking, I bent and gave her a hug. She held onto me tightly. Our hug ended with her remark, “You gave an old woman a little moment of joy.”74. The old woman chose to ride through the city in order to ______.A. show she was familiar with the cityB. see some places for the last timeC. let the driver earn more moneyD. reach the destination on time75.

What can we learn from the story?A. Giving is always a pleasure.B. People should respect each other.C. An act of kindness can bring people great joy.D. People should learn to appreciate others′concern.（E）Sandra Cisneros was born in Chicago in 1954 to a Mexican American family. As the only girl in a family of seven children, she often felt like she had “seven fathers,”because her six brothers, as well as her father, tried to control her. Feeling shy and unimportant, she retreated（躲避）into books. Despite her love of reading, she did not do well in elementary school because she was too shy to participate.In high school, with the encouragement of one particular teacher, Cisneros improved her grades and worked for the school literary magazine. Her father encouraged her to go to college because he thought it would be a good way for her to find a husband. Cisneros did attend college, but instead of searching for a husband, she found a teacher who helped her join the famous graduate writing program at the University of Iowa. At the university′s Writers′Workshop, however, she felt lonely—a Mexican American from a poor neighborhood among students from wealthy families. The feeling of being so different helped Cisneros find her“Creative voice.”“It was not until this moment when I considered myself truly different that my writing acquired a voice. I knew I was a Mexican woman, but I didn′t think it had anything to do with why I felt so much imbalance in my life, but it had everything to do with it! That′s when I decided I would write about something my classmates couldn′t write about.”Cisneros published her first work, The House on Mango Street, when she was twenty-nine. The book tells about a young Mexican American girl growing up in a Spanish-speaking area in Chicago, much like the neighborhoods in which Cisneros lived as a child. The book won an award in 1985 and has been used in classes from high school through graduate school level. Since then, Cisneros has published several books of poetry, a children′s book, and a short-story collection.77. Which of the following is TRUE about Cisneros in her childhood?A. She had seven brothers.B. She felt herself a nobody.C. She was too shy to go to school.D. She did not have any good teachers.78. The graduate program gave Cisneros a chance to _____.A. work for a school magazineB. run away from her familyC. make a lot of friendsD. develop her writing style79. According to Cisneros, what played the decisive role in her success?A. Her early years in college.B. Her training in the Workshop.C. Her feeling of being different.D. Her childhood experience.80. What do we learn about The House on Mango Street?A. It is quite popular among students.B. It is the only book ever written by Cisneros.C. It wasn′t success as it was written in Spanish.D. It won an award when Cisneros was twenty-nine.答案1~10 AABDC BCDBC11~20 DCCCA BADCD21~30 DCBAB ACDBC31~40 ABABB CDBAB41~50 CCABD BDABC51~60 ADCAB BACDC61~70 CDBBA CDABA 71~80 CDABA CBDCA *61~80为2分。

That’s 6 they’re invisible. They’re the mysterious dead stars called black holes. You might find 7 hard to imagine that stars die. After all, our Sun is a star. Year after year we see it up in the sky, burning brightly, giving us heat and light. The Sun certainly doesn’t seem8 getting old or weak. But stars do burn out and die after billions of years. As a star’s gases burn, they give off light and heat.

Colorful creations of different shapes and sizes filled the skies like beautiful birds flying and dancing. As the strong winds blew against the kites, a string kept them in control.Instead of blowing away with the wind, they rose against it to achieve great heights. They shook and pulled, but the restraining (控制的) string and the cumbersome (笨重的) tail kept them in control, facing upward and against the wind. As the kites struggled against the string, they seemed to say, “Let me go! Let me go! I want to be free!” They rose beautifully even when they fought therestrictionof the string. Finally, one of the kites succeeded in breaking loose(松散的). “Free at last,” it seemed to say. “Free to fly with the wind.”Yet freedom(自由) simply put it in the control of an unkind wind. It fell down to the ground and landed in a mass of weeds and string against a dead bush. “Free at last”, free to lie powerlessly in the dirt, to be blown helplessly along the ground, and to stop lifelessly against the first obstacle (障碍物).How much like kites we sometimes are. The Heaven gives us adversity (逆境) and rules, rules to follow from which we can grow and get strength. Some of us break away from the rules so hard that we never reach the heights we mightget to. We keep part of the rules and never rise high enough to get our tails off the ground.Let us each rise to the great heights, knowing that some of the rules that we may be angry about are in fact the strong force that helps us achieve.1．Why does the writer write the first paragraph?A．Because it was the first time that he had seen young people flying kites.B．Because he wants to share his feelings in nature with the readers.C．Because he wants to tell the readers how to make beautiful kites.D．Because he wants to use reade rs’ similar life experience to understand the article better.2．By writing the second and third paragraphs, the writer seems to let the readers know__________.A．anyone who wants no restraints is sure to be a sad endB．what a pity it is that one kite flew down to the groundC．man with freedom can’t be like that kite which fell downD．the unkind wind is the cause of the fallen kite’s failure3．What does the underlined word “restriction” in the second paragraph probably mean?A．control B．freedom C．shake D．guide4．In the writer’s opinion, ____________.A．without restrictions and rules we can make endless progressB．kites are good examples to those who want to get freedomC．restrictions are necessary for us human beingsD．we don’t need any freedom at allC15、Books are our best friends. They are very quiet, but we can always find both fun and knowledge when we open them. We can find quite a lot of interesting things and ideas in books. Here are two good books you can read during the holiday.To Succeed on One’ s OwnWriter Denny Liu who was born in China wrote this book for his daughter.

It takes most people many years to find out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved coloring in her coloring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, sothey took away her coloring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and coloring them in.By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints.When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist's unusual style of painting. Alexandra's work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her "Little Picasso". This was a great honor, but Alexandra's style of painting was all her own.Alexandra's first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single-piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to build peace throughout the world.1．When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures?A．At the age of eight.B．At the age of seven.C．In the year of 1987.D．In the year of 1985.2．Alexandra was called" Little Picasso?" because__________A．she learned to paint from PicassoB．her style of painting was much like Picasso'sC．she was one of Picasso's big fansD．her style of painting was unusual3．What can we learn from Paragraph 4?A．Always appearing in public brought Alexandra much joy.B．Alexandra felt very satisfied with her work.C．Alexandra became famous when she grew up.D．In order to make much money, Alexandra made many artworks.4．What can we know about Alexandra from the passage?A．She is polite. B．She is faithful. C．She is patient. D．She is creative.5．The passage can be described as a(n)______A．interesting adventure storyB．good comedyC．teenager's life experienceD．poster of famous paintingsE17、Everybody in this world is different from one another. But do you know that understanding differences can help you better manage your money?As we grow up, we gradually develop a set of our own values or beliefs. These are influenced by society, our family, the education we receive and so on. Once this value system is set up, it's not easy to change later in life.Financial experts say that everyone also has their own belief of how to manage their finances. This is part of our value system and it has a great impact on the way we look after our money.According to our different values, experts put us in three categories. They are: the ant, the cricket and the snail(蜗牛). The ant－works firstJust like ants who work heart and soul in summer in order to store food for winter, these people don't care about enjoying the moment. They work very hard and save money they earn so that they can enjoy life when they get old and retire. The ant loves to save but they could make more out of their money if they were willing to invest in some funds and stocks with low risk.The cricket－fun firstThe cricket wants to enjoy everything now and doesn't think too much about the future. They even borrow money when they really want something. Many young people now belong to this group. These people have little savings. When they get old, they might have problems. They should learn to save and buy insurance.The snail－lives under pressureThe snail refers to people who make life difficult for themselves.
