should pay attention to art study and it can develop students'skills．So they will be happier and have a better life in the future．Others disagree．They think we have too many subjects to study for the exams and we are much too tired．If Music and Art enter the Entrance Examination for the High School，there will be more things to do and we have to put into more energy．As a result，we will be more tired and stressed out，our other subjects will be influenced．In my opinion，Music and Art can enter the Entrance Examination for the High School．But only the students who are interested in music and art can have the exam rather than all of us．They we can go into different senior school to study．4．（2014•常州）过年燃放爆竹是中国人的传统，但是近年来越来越多的人赞同过年不放爆竹．假如你是Green

tradition to set off firecrackers at the Spring Festival．However，more and more people have realized that firecrackers are doing more harm than good．Setting off the firecrackers harms the environment．First of all，it gives off many harmful gases which will pollute the air．On the Eve of the Spring Festival，the noise of the firecrackers goes on all night and makes it impossible for people to fall asleep．The next morning the ground is all covered with rubbish from firecrackers．Besides，firecrackers can cause fires if people are not careful enough．Sometimes people will get injured or even

阅读表达一．填空题（共1小题）1．（2017•常州）The Internet nowadays opens a wide world to people，including teenagers，but many parents worry that their children may meet with something unhealthy when searching online．In order to solve this problem，a new search engine for children called Kiddle has appeared．Search results are filtered（过滤），so only safe website are shown and descriptions are written in simple language．Searches with bad words are shut off，too．Kiddles uses the same colors as Google in its logo and a similar design on its homepage，too﹣﹣with an extra robot picture．The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids，and those websites and pages are well chosen and checked by Kiddle developers．The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults．They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．Unlike on Google，most results appear along with large thumbnail pictures（缩略图）to make it easier for children to find what they are looking for．For example，when searching for"meow meow"．Google produces pages for information about a drug（毒品）that has"meow meow"as its nickname（绰号），but Kiddle lists information only about cats，even with some cartoon pictures．The company explained，"Websites which appear in Kiddle search results satisfy family﹣friendly requirements，as we filter websites with unhealthy content．"【解答】36：Few 考查形容词．根据文中的第二段：Searches with bad words are shut off，too带有粗俗的话也将关闭，及提示可知用Few修饰可数名词复数表否定意义，故答案是Few．37：specially 考查副词，根据文中的第四段：The top three Kiddle search results show safe websites and pages written specially for kids可知打开的前三句是专门的为孩子们写的安全网页，修饰动词要用副词故答案是specially38：trusting 考查动词．根据文中的第五段：The fourth to seventh results will be safe and trusted websites that are not written for adults，可知trusted指被信任的，be worth trusting值得信息，be worth doing，故答案是trusting．39：easy 考查形容词．根据文中的第六段：They provide expert content，but are harder for kids to understand．对于孩子们更难理解，结合句子结构用easy，与not构成否定的，不容易，与原文也相符，故答案是easy．40：Difference；考查名词．根据后面描述的是Kiddle与谷歌有区别的地方，也就是不同之处，故答案是用名词Difference．二．阅读理解（共6小题）2．（2015•常州）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词，每个空格里只填一个单词．Any time of the day you can devote to exercising is a good time for getting active，but if you want to make a healthy fitness plan，it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find out the best time to exercise．First，try to know what kind of person you are．Especially，are you an early bird who always wakes up early in the morning，or a night owl（猫头鹰）who almost never goes to bed before midnight？Once you are generally aware of what your sleep characteristics are，you will understand better when your body needs exercise，either early in the morning，sometime during the day，or later on in the evening．Second，consider your daily plan．When do you seem to be most busy，and when do you plan your most important tasks？Try to fit in your exercise before or at least around these events if possible，so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected（影响）as well．Third，think about when you feel you have the most energy．For most people，that time is usually in the morning after a good night's rest，or after a long day of work．After a busy or much stressful day，exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work．Lastly，find out the place you plan to do exercise．Your house provides exercise at any time if you own fitness equipment（设备），but if there is a gym（健身房）down the street or along the way home from work，it will make it more suitable for you to exercise．More importantly，you need to make a plan and try sticking to it for one week．If you do so and can get through the exercise without being pulled in another direction，make it a habit．And once you have set up your fitness plan，don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to．【解答】1．【答案】Remember；信息转换．根据"it may be helpful to keep several points in mind and find o ut the best time to exercise．"中的"keep several points in mind"的句意：记住几点；可知该句可转换为动词remember．2．【答案】understanding；原词重现．根据第二段"you will understand better when your body needs exercise"，句中的understand better 可以改为have a better understanding of．故填understanding．3．【答案】from；信息转换．根据第三段"so that you can keep exercising and your life won't be affected（影响）as well．"可改为词组keep …from doing…（使…免受…）．故填from．4．【答案】less；信息转换．根据文中"exercising can reduce your working stress from hard work．"的句意：锻炼可以减轻你的工作压力；句中的reduce your working stress 可改为make you less stressed，（使你压力不那么大）；故填less．5．【答案】agreement；信息转换．根据最后一段"don't make any great changes to it unless your doctor allows you to"除非医生同意才可以改变健身计划，根据搭配选择使用reach an agreement（同意）．故填agreement．3．（2014•常州）In modern society（社会）there is a great deal of argument about competition．Some value it highly，for they believe that it is helpful for social progress and richness．Others say that competition is bad，and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendliness between people．I have trained many children who held the belief（看法）that their self worth came from how well they performed at tennis and other skills．For them，playing well and winning are often life and death matters．Sadly，they forget to develop many other human qualities．However，while some seem to be lost in the strong wish to succeed，others think quite the opposite．In a culture which values only the winner and pays noattention to the ordinary（普通）players，they strongly blame competition，especially youngsters who have suffered under competitive pressures（压力）from their parents or society．Teaching these young people，I often find that they even choose to fail．They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse，"I may have lost，but it doesn't matter because I really didn't try．"In fact，they are worried that if they had really tried and failed，the failure would mean that they were worth nothing．Clearly，this belief is the same as that of the true competitors who try to prove themselves．Both are based on the mistaken belief that one's self worth comes from how well one performs in comparison（比较）with others．Both are afraid of not being valued．We can only discover a new meaning in competition as such worries and fear begin to disappear．【解答】36．forward．根据for they believe that it is helpful for social progress可知一些支持竞争的人认为，竞争对社会是有帮助的，这里的意思是推进社会向前发展，故填forward．37．causes．根据Others say that competition is bad，and that it sets one person against another and leads to unfriendliness between people．可知反对竞争的人觉得他会挑起人们之间的斗争，给人们之间带来不友好，句中lead to意为；导致，即引起某种结果，它的同义词是cause，故填causes．38．only just．根据For them，playing well and winning are often life and death matters．可知一些孩子们觉得表现好，赢经常是事关生死的大事，因此这样的孩子只知道争强好胜，只关心输赢，故填only just．39．failing．根据They seem to choose failure by not trying to win or achieve success．By not trying，they always have an excuse可知有些孩子选择不去尝试，是因为他们害怕输，害怕失败，如果他们不尝试，他们就可以为自己找到一个借口，句中prevent sb from doing sth 阻止某人做某事，故填failing40．suggestions 或advice．根据We can only discover a new meaning in competition as such worries and fear begin to disappear可知作者觉得我们能够发现竞争的新意义，这是作者给我们的建议，故填suggestions 或advice．4．（2013•常州）How important is music？When they are asked this question，students and parents usually answer that music is nice，but not very important．It is often considered only as entertainment，but not the first choice for education．This opinion is shortsighted．In fact，music education is necessary and important for all students．Music tells us who we are．Music reflects the creators'thinking and values，as well as the social environment it came from．For example，just as Mozart music represents a lifestyle，rock music represents a lifestyle，too．The jazz influence that George Gershwin and other musicians introduced into their music is obviously American because it came from American musical traditions．Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way．Science explains how the sun rises and sets．Music explores the emotive meanings．We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all．Music is a form of thought，as powerful as science．It is a way we human beings"talk"to each other．Through the language we expresses our feelings，our discoveries，our ideas，our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others．When we do not let our children receive good music education，we take away from them the meanings that music expresses．Science does not tell us what it means to be human．Music does．So music education is much more necessary than people generally realize．Title：Music education is of （36）importance【解答】36．importance 细节理解题．根据Title：Music education is of （36）importance 可知这是文章的标题，结合文章内容可知本文主要讲述的是音乐的重要性，故填importance，名词，重要性．37．values 细节理解题，根据第二段第二句Music shows people's thinking and values，as well as the social environment it came from．可知音乐反映了人们的思想和价值观，以及它产生的社会环境，故填values，价值，可数名词．38．works 细节理解题．根据Science explains how the sun rises and sets，太阳的升落属于自然的运作，the sun是第三人称单数，故填works，第三人称单数形式．39．express 细节理解题，根据Through the language we expresses our feelings，可知通过音乐我们可以表达自己的情感，故填express．40．different 细节理解题．文章倒数第二段最后一句主要讲科学和音乐的差异，要表示差异不同的意思，又因为题中有from，所以我们想到用different，be different from固定词组，和…不同．5．（2012•常州）阅读下面短文，并根据所读内容在文章后表格中的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词．每个空格里只填一个单词．The 2012London Olympic Games are around the corner．If you have the chance to visit Britain yourself，you can see at every bus stop the British people form a queue．You may have read about it，but you will still feel amazed to see it with your own eyes．It's an amazing social behavior；it brings the British to a higher level of civilization（文明）．At least that is what one German professor thinks．The professor named Joseph Heinrich and his workmates say that standing in line is the"highest form of cooperative（协作的）group behavior"．The social rules（细则）of standing in line are also interesting．For example，you need to be able to decide the correct distance to the person in front of you．Get too close and there is a danger of entering other people's personal space．This is a serious mistake and often makes other people angry．However，when you leave too much space，the next person is likely to ask："Are you in the queue？"This may sound polite but in fact it means："Can't you stand in line properly？"In no other countries can you see the one﹣man queue except in Britain．If a British person arrives at a bus stop and no one else is there，he will not simply wait．Instead，he stands at the head of the queue．Tourists are often unfamiliar with local customs（习俗），and if they do not get in line behind the British person，he or she will tell them strictly："This is a queue．"Though it might seem that the British people take their queues too Seriously，one thing is certain：queues can save lives．In dangerous situations，standing in line has prevented them from getting very frightened．In the serious train accident in 1999，people who were hurt formed a queue as they escaped from their trains．One writer later wrote about a polite man who let her pass with a quiet"after you"．【解答】34．答案：opinions/thoughts/ideas．细节理解题．考查名词opinions/thoughts/ideas．根据第2段内容，特别是"At least that is what one German professor thinks"一位德国教授如此认为．表格右面的内容是教授的观点．故填opinions/thoughts/ideas．35．答案：reached．词义理解题．考查动词reach及过去式．根据第2段"it brings the British to a higher level of civilization"它使英国人达到了一个比较高的文明水平．故填reached．36．答案：neither．词义理解题．考查连词词组neither…nor．根据第3段中"Get too close and there is a danger of entering other people's personal space"一句，距离太近，则有侵犯私人空间之嫌．再根据本段中"However，when you leave too much space，the next person is likely to ask"一句，如果距离太远，后面之人就会不乐意．所以要保持适当的距离．故填neither．37．答案：follow．句意和细节理解题．考查动词follow及其搭配．根据第5段"Tourists are often unfamiliar with local customs，and if they do not get in line behind the British person，he or she will tell them strictly：‘This is a queue．'如果外来游客不按照当地习惯排队，后面的英国人会严厉提醒，要入乡随俗．follow 遵循．follow the local custom入乡随俗．故填follow．38．答案：danger．细节理解题，考查名词danger．根据第6段中"In dangerous situations，standing in line has prevented them from getting very frightened"一句，在某些危险情况下，排队是英国人避免遭受严重的恐慌．in face of danger面对危险（时）．故填danger．6．（2011•常州）The way in which we communicate with others can be greatly improved by building a better vocabulary．In our personal life，we communicate and share experiences with others．However，how well we do it depends on（取决于）our ability to express ourselves through spoken and written language．Luckily，increasing（增加）our word power can make us own the skills we need to communicate better with others and can also help us get better results in our study．When you see a new word，whether through reading or hearing someone say the word，just be ready to take out your dictionary and look it up﹣learn about the word and anything that relates （与…相关）to it．If you understand the word，you'll hopefully remember it well．Meanwhile，you'd better write down words to learn．You can go through the dictionary，magazine and newspaper or even take down the unknown words you hear．Try to review them every day﹣look at the words and speak them out loudly．Copy the words over and over

developed．They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting．Attracting the attention of students is always difficult，but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn．For example，an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard．It allows the teachers to show images and provide sound as well．If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sound added in，you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom．Various audio （声音的）tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say．In the past，if a teacher said something that a child missed，perhaps the child was too timid （胆小的）or nervous to ask them to repeat it．Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they're sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them．The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing．For example，imaginea history lesson is given in a modern classroom．How is it different from a classroom setting inthe past？The answer is simple．The students will not only learn about history itself，they will also learn how to use the modern equipment （设备）that helps the teacher get their messageacross．Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier．Student response （应答）system makes everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up．Since everyone can do it，the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways．It's clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms．【解答】34．Advantages．推理题．结合右格可知这里是在描述现代科技在课堂上的优点，故用advantage优点，这里用复数，故答案是Advantages．35．attention．细节题，结合第二段Attracting the attention of students is always difficult，but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn．可知让引起学生的注意力更容易，故用名词attention，故答案是attention．36．words．细节题．根据第四段Various audio （声音的）tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say．…．Now

wordsPoetry（诗歌）is the forgotten child of literature．Few people read it for pleasure．In Western highschools，poetry is seldom taught because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the life of today's students．In China，however．poetry is still an important part of the curriculum（课程）．Recently，the Ministry of Education has increased the number of ancient Chinese poems for students to memorize and recite，from 14 to 72．Why is it important to learn poems？First of all，poetry is a necessary part of learning traditional Chinese culture．It is a path to understanding your history and your society．It is also the key to understanding the thoughts and feelings that are common to everyone but that we may be unable to express﹣the joy of Li Bai dancing with the moon，for example．Everyone has feelings of joy，love，loneliness，sadness and even anger，and a good poem can put those feelings into words and bring us self﹣understanding．Poems can also express beauty．In a few short lines，even something common can become beautiful．Here is a poem called Fog by Carl Sandberg：The fog comes/on silent haunches（弓腰）/and then moves on．Yes，fog does move smoothly，silently and like a cat，and Sandberg catches that feeling and image（形象），and makes it beautiful．Of course，to really enjoy poetry，it has to be read aloud．After all，a poem is really just a song without music．Most ancient poetry，like Homer's Epics（《荷马史诗》）and China's Book of Songs，was spoken for hundreds of years before it was written．The American poet Robert Frost said，"Poetry is when an emotion has found its thoughtand the thought has found words．" You are lucky that you now have seventy﹣two poems to learn!【解答】1．different．考查搭配．句意"大多数人认为诗歌和当今学生的生活是__"．根据第二段because it is considered to be out of date and have little to do with the

society它是一条了解你的历史和社会的途径．可知，应该是"了解"．help sb do sth帮助某人做某事．填动词原形understand．4．common．考查形容词．句意"诗歌可以用几行表达__事物的美"．根据倒数第三段Poems can also express beauty．In a few short lines，even something common can become beautiful 诗歌也可以表达美，在短短的几行中，即使是普通的东西也会变得美丽．可知，应该是"普通的"．修饰名词things．用形容词common．5．Reading．考查动名词．句意"___是诗歌欣赏的最佳方式"．根据倒数第二段Of course，to really enjoy poetry，it has to be read aloud当然，要真正欣赏诗歌，就必须大声朗读．可知，应该是"朗读" read aloud．这里用动名词短语做主语．Read的动名词是Reading．。

BWe are excited when we reach our goals, and at that moment we laugh, clap, even are over the moon. Without doubt, good results make us joyful. However, we can not always get what we want and be the winner all the time. Some people can't help doubting, "Are our efforts in vain?" The answer is "No". We should remember that we are not only measured by how many goals we've reached, but also by how we've acted, which means the process(过程)is also important.Here is an example. Fruit is delicious. It takes trees a long time to bear it. In the process of growing, trees have to suffer from bad weather, insect bites and also intentional destruction(故意破坏) from human beings. So it is with us. Our life is like a journey. At the beginning, we set a destination（目标）, dreaming of it every night, but we should never forget that we spend most of our time on the journey. Unfortunately, many people only complain about the failure and then give up hope. In fact, it is failure that teaches us to be brave and stand on our own feet.I myself deeply believe that only those who have experienced a lot can own the highly-valued character; only those who have taken a lot of adventures can have the chance to succeed. As the saying goes, "No pains, no gains." We are still young, still full of energy, so why are we afraid of failure and why do we hesitate(犹豫) to take an adventure?Young men, let's forget results, leave out pains, and just look forward and don't miss any chance on the journey!（1）Reaching our goals will make us ________.A. laugh at othersB. be over the moonC. asset another goalD. forget our efforts （2）What does the underlined phrase "in vain" mean in Chinese?A. 值得B. 益处C. 高效D. 徒劳（3）The writer gives an example of fruit in order to say _________.A. fruit is deliciousB. people can also suffer a lot in lifeC. it's hard for a tree to bear fruitD. we should grow trees to get good fruit（4）Only those who __________ will get the good character.A. have gone through a lotB. work very hardC. believe that things will be better and betterD. believe in themselves（5）What's the best title for this passage ?A. Stand on Our Own FeetB. Process Is Also ImportantC. Don't Doubt YourselfD. Failure Is the Mother Of Success【答案】（1）B（2）D（3）B（4）A（5）B【解析】【分析】本文属于说明文阅读，作者通过这篇文章向我们介绍了做任何事情的过程对我们来说也很重要。

2010年江苏省常州市初中毕业升学考试英语卷学校:___________姓名：___________班级：___________考号：___________一、阅读单选Why do you think people who live in some hot countries eat very spicy(辛辣的)food? Is it because the spices make the food taste better? Is it just because their parents and grandparents and great-grandparents liked hot food，or is there some connection between spices and healthy food?Researchers from Cornell University think that it is because spice plants have some important chemicals(化学物质)．These chemicals can kill bacteria(细菌)which spoil food．“Most common spices can kill 75 to 100 percent of the bacteria in food，”explains one of the scientists．The bacteria grow more easily and spoil food more quickly at higher temperatures．For this reason，it is more difficult to keep food from spoiling in hot climates，Do you like your food spicy? Your answer probably tells something about the country you come from．If you like spicy food，it is possible that hundreds of years ago，when there were no fridges，people in your country started using spices to keep the food from spoiling．The traditional spicy dishes helped those people to live longer，healthier lives．Today，in a time of fridges，the spices just make the food taste good．1．The chemicals in spices keep food from spoiling by_________．A．making food taste betterB．making food hotterC．killing bacteria in foodD．preventing bacteria getting into food2．Food goes bad more quickly in hot climates because_______．A．high temperature makes more bacteriaB．high temperature helps bacteria grow fasterC．bacteria get used to hot foodD．bacteria spoil food only at high temperature3．According to the passage，spices are useful in an the following things except_______．A．replacing fridgesB．helping you to live longerC．helping to keep you healthierD．making your food taste betterA new TV series in England，Away from it all，has surprised everyone by becominga huge success with young people across the country．Its success is surprising because the series is about the relaxing lifestyles of people who live in the country．There is none of the action that we usually see on TV today．There are also no stressful moments，busy offices or crowded cities．Away from it all is set in the peaceful English countryside and tells simple stories about people’s kindness．The director of the TV series says that its success is a sign of teenagers suffering from stress．They say that watching Away from it all helps teenagers forget about the pressures(压力)of exams and homework，and the troubles that fill the world today．They also say that it’s a good sign of today’s young people switching to(转到)happier TV series as it shows they would like a happier and healthier world． Although the series’success might have a good side，many teachers and parents are worried，however．They say that some of their students and children are becoming couch potatoes(终日泡在电视机前的人)and are using Away from it all as an excuse for not completing homework．Some children have even refused to learn for exams because they say that they can only achieve personal happiness by avoiding(避免)stressful situations completely．And what do the experts(专家)say? Paula Ray，a doctor of education，says that TV can influence children’s lifestyles．But she says that if a child reacts strongly，it’s likely that there are other reasons for his change in behaviour．She says that there is nothing wrong with watching Away from it all but suggests that parents should make sure their children know TV is not the same as real life，4．The success of the new TV series is surprising because________．A．it is different from other successful TV seriesB．it is the same as other successful TV seriesC．it is about the English countrysideD．it is about life in busy offices5．The director of Away from it all believes that the series helps young people deal with______．A．simple storiesB．stressC．couch potatoesD．exams6．The success of the series shows that young people would like________．A．a world with no homeworkB．English TV seriesC．relaxing jobsD．a happier and healthier world7．Who are worried about the effects of the series?A．Experts and teenagers．B．Teachers and experts．C．Teachers and parents．D．Young people and parents．A group of swans flew down to a beach where a crow (乌鸦) was jumping around. The crow watched them with disdain (笔试).“You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!”One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge (挑战). The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan.Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water.The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? ““No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (自大) ! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...”The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach. 8．What’s the correct order of the following events?a. The crow followed the swan and got into trouble.b. The swan felt pity for the crow and saved it.c. The crow had to ask the swan for help.d. The swan accepted a challenge of performing flying tricks.A．a, d, b, c B．a, b, d, c C．d, a, c, b D．d, c, a, b 9．What does the underlined word “exhausted” in Paragraph 4 mean?A．Tired.B．Bored.C．Nervous.D．Frightened. 10．What do we learn from the passage?A．Practice makes perfect.B．The early bird catches the worm. C．No pains, no gains.D．Pride goes before a fall.Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金丝雀). If someone looks very proud and satisfied with himself, we say “he looks like the cat that ate the canary.”Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, it means that you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it.Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow” or “the cat’s pajamas(睡衣)” to describe something that is the best or finest. “A copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person’s work. “A fat cat” is a person with a lot of money.If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask you if “the cat has got your tongue(舌头)”Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision (监管).You may have heard the expression “curiosity killed the cat”. This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems.If you have ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding (放牧) cats “11．What can we learn from the passage?A．The expression “a fat cat” is used to describe someone who is very fat.B．The expression “play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on others”.C．It is more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats.D．There are more expressions about cats than those about dogs.12．In which of the following situations do we most probably use the expression “curiosity killed the cat”?A．Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry.B．Someone promised to keep a secret but he failed to do so.C．Someone won the first prize in an English singing competition and he felt very excited. D．Someone tried to swim across the Yangtze River with his newly broken legs. 13．Where can you most probably find the passage?A．In a scientific research paper about cats.B．On a website telling people how to keep cats.C．In a magazine telling various jokes and funny stories.D．In a language book that teaches students how to use American slang.Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things.But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.”These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time.No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work.Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new.And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.14．Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph?A．To compare these two famous persons.B．To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.C．To show that the two persons were treated unfairly.D．To prove that failure is the mother of success.15．Which of the following statements is NOT true?A．No one can be successful without working hard.B．Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.C．Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help.D．One should try his best to make his dream come true.16．Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?A．One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.B．One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.C．One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times.D．One doesn’t have to take others’ advice when they get away from him.For hundreds Of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well.People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D．Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D．Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two!The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather.17．Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one’s emotions?A．Weather. B．Actions of others.C．Personality. D．Age.18．Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage?A．It is a kind of artificial chemical.B．It makes us worried by affecting our brains.C．It is needed by us all to keep fit.D．It is in the sunlight.19．What can we infer (推断) from the passage?A．We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather.B．We will be happy when we are caught in the rain.C．All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter.D．The more vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be.20．What may be the best title for this passage?A．Why Do We Feel Sad?B．The Weather Influences People’s EmotionsC．People Need More Vitamin DD．We Can Hardly Change the Weather二、根据句意填空21．根据下列句子及所给汉语注释，在答题卡上标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处各单词的正确形式．每空只写一词．1．Please ▲(切)me a piece of cake．2．He has always been a big ▲(迷)of Michael Jackson．3．Charlie tried to ▲(使平静)the frightened children．4．It wasn’t very ▲(有礼貌的)of you to serve yourself without asking．5．Smoking is not ▲(允许)in this restaurant．6．Is the fire still ▲(燃烧)?7．The baby’s first front ▲(牙齿)are just coming through．8．Phone me ▲(今晚)when you get there．9．▲(幸好)，she was in when I called．10．It was ▲(明显的)that she was not going home．22．根据句子意思，用括号中所给词的正确形式填空，每空填一词。
