He was one of the rudest (粗鲁的) people in the world. The whole village was tired of him; he was always unhappy; he was always complaining (抱怨) and was always in a bad mood (情绪). When people tried to cheer him up, he would rudely turn them away.The longer he lived, the more bad-tempered he became. People stayed away from him because his bad mood was contagious (传染性的). It was even unusual and impolite to feel happy around him. By behaving like this, he made the rest of the village feel unhappy as well.But one day, the day he turned 80 years old, in fact—an unbelievable thing happened. The villagers said among themselves:“The old man is happy today. He hasn’t complained about anything, he is smiling, and his faced looks kind.”The whole village went to see the old man. One of the villagers asked the old man, “What happened to you?”“Nothing special has happened, in fact,” the man said. “For 80 years I’ve been looking for happiness, and it was no use. And then I decided to live without happiness and just enjoy life. That’s why I’m happy now.”It is important to realize that your mood can affect (影响) the moods of those around you.Everyone has bad days sometimes. If someone tries to cheer you up, don’t be rude to them. Just try to accept (接受) their help.5. The old man would ________ when the villagers tried to cheer him up.A. accept their helpB. turn people awayC. complain a lotD. feel happier6. What does the underlined word “bad-tempered” mean?A. Having bad luck.B. Being in a good mood.C. Being polite and usual.D. Becoming angry easily.7 What happened on the day when the old man turned 80 years old?A. He found happiness.B. He let go of his happiness.C. He got a contagious disease.D. He accepted help from others.8. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. not everyone knows what they’re really looking forB. we should know that our moods can affect othersC. bad moods can be contagious, while good moods can’tD. don’t bother (打扰) people who are in a bad moodCWhat training do astronauts need?In 2003, Yang Liwei became the first Chinese astronaut in space. Since then, another 17astronauts have reached for the stars. Do you dream of being an astronaut? How did they do it?In space, changes in the environment and loneliness test the minds and bodies of astronauts. So, the training (训练) for astronauts is very hard. “Astronauts take over 200 different training subjects before going to space,” Huang Weifen, chief designer of the astronaut system for China’s manned space project, told CCTV News. These include science and mental health (心理健康) classes.The most tiring one is underwater training. Astronauts stay under the water in clothes heavier than 100 kilograms for six hours at a time. The heavy clothes make every move hard. “An astronaut once said he lost two kilograms after one underwater exercise,” said Huang. Each astronaut does training for at least three and a half years before getting the chance to go to space.New chances for allThis year, China is finding new people to be the fourth group of astronauts. The first and second groups of Chinese astronauts were all from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air Force (中国人民解放军空军). However, in the third group, civilians (平民/非军人) could also become astronauts. They are experts (专家) and can do science studies in space. They don’t need to have “perfect (完美的)” bodies like pilot astronauts (航天驾驶员).9. What do we know about Yang Liwei from Paragraph 1?A. He was the first Chinese astronaut to go into space.B. He went into space with 17 astronauts in 2003.C. He helped many people become astronauts.D. He dreamed about other astronauts in space.10. What does the underline word “these” refer to?A. science and mental health classes.B. changes in the environment and lonelinessC. the minds and bodies of astronautsD. over 200 different training subjects11. What is Paragraph 3 mainly about?A. Astronauts” clothes.B. Underwater exercisesC. The training plan for a day.D. Astronauts’ feelings.12. What kind of people can be astronauts in China in the future?A. People only from the Chinese People’s Liberation Army Air ForceB. Everyone of all ages in ChinaC. Experts who can do science studies in space.D. Only pilot astronauts with perfect bodiesD①Are you shy? If you are, you are not alone. In fact, about 50 percent of people are shy, Almost 80 percent of people feel shy at some points in their lives. Now, scientists have some interesting ideas about why people are shy.②Scientists say 15 to 20 percent of babies behave shyly. These babies are a little quieter than other babies. Interestingly, these shy babies usually have shy parents. Scientists believe some shyness is genetic (遗传的).③Family size may be another factor. Scientists at Harvard University found 66 percent of shy children hadolder brothers and sisters. These children were often bullied (欺负) by their brothers and sisters. As a result, they became shy. However, children with no brothers or sisters can be shy, too. Growing up alone, they often play by themselves. It’s hard for them to develop social skills as children from big families.④ You may also be shy because of your birthplace. In Japan, most people are shy. But in Israel (以色列), only one third of people are. In Japan, when people fail, they blame (责备) themselves. In Israel, people often blame other things, such as family, friends, or bad luck.⑤ For shy people, it can be difficult to make friends, speak in class, and even get a good job. But scientists say you can overcome your shyness. They suggest trying new things and talking with others more.13. What is the passage mainly about?A. Happiness.B. Shyness.C. Loneliness.D. Kindness.14. How many people feel shy at some points in their lives?A. Almost 80 percent of people.B. Less than 30 percent of people.C. Fifteen to twenty percent of people.D. Six percent of people.15. What suggestion do scientists give to shy people?A. Blame their failure on others.B. Try to find out why they are shy.C. Stay away from other shy people.D. Try new things and talk more.16. Which of the following shows the structure (结构) of the passage? (①-Paragraph 1...)A. B. C. D.第二节还原句子阅读短文, 从方框内所给的选项中选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项, 并将其代表字母涂在答题卡(纸) 的相应位置。

After the first week, Harry's parents took him to hospital, but it took another week for the doctors to cure his attack.Harry, who is now back at school, described what happened to him.“When I began to hiccup, I drank a glass of water but that didn't do any good. That evening I had hiccups every four seconds. We tried everything to stop them. I held my breath and drank cold drinks. My father even tried to give me a shock but that didn't work either.”After a week of sleepless nights, he went to hospital. The doctors took an X-ray of his chest but they couldn't find anything wrong.“They gave me some medicine and my hiccups slowed down, but it was another week before the medicine worked completely and my hiccups stopped.”Harry was very lucky. The world record holder is the American farmer Charles Osborne, who hiccupped for sixty-eight years. He stopped in 1990 at last, but nobody knows why.()46.Harry's hiccups lasted ____.A. a weekB. fourteen daysC. twenty-eight daysD. one month ()47.His hiccups started after he ____.A. drank a glass of waterB. went to hospitalC. ate an Indian mealD. finished his homework()48.His parents decided to take him to hospital when he ____.A. hiccupped for four secondsB. held his breathC. hiccupped at nightD. couldn't stop hiccupping()49.His hiccups completely stopped one week after the doctor ____.A. gave him some medicineB. took an X-ray of his chestC.gave him a shockD. let him drink cold drinks()50.What does “shock” in this passage mean?A.震惊B. 休克C. 喷嚏D. 哈欠BCome and see the Indian elephants and the new tigers from America.

Looking a little tired, Yang stepped out of Shenzhou V, smiling and waving at the waiting people. “I feel very good.” Yang said to Premier Wen Jiabao on the phone. Yang said to a newspaper, “For our motherland and me, this is a great moment.”China’s launch of Shenzhou V shows a higher starting point. It has two special systems(系统)to protect the spaceman, but neither Russian rockets(火箭)nor American ones have.Yang didn’t know that he was chosen as China’s first spaceman until just before the launch. Although Yang was excited at the news, he still slept at 8p.m. as usual and was woken up at 8p.m. the next morning. Before the launch, Yang ate Chinese traditional food-dumplings. We all know that travelers usually eat them before going on a journey for good luck.A stamp Success of China First Manned Space Flight was issued(发行)on October 16, 2003, making China the third country to send a spaceman into outer space.( )56.

China issued the stamps to _________.A. leave them in spaceB. give them to Yang Liwei as a rewardC. celebrate the successD. give them to Russian and American spacemen.DExperts(专家) say that students usually need eight to ten hours’ sleep at night, but most Chinese students do not get enough sleep. Some Chinese parents are usually glad to see their children studying late. They will think their children work very hard, but not all parents are happy about this. Once a mother told us that every morning her 10-year-old boy put up one finger (手指) with his eyes still closed, begging(请求) for one more minute to sleep. Like thousands of students “ early birds” in China, he has to get up before six every morning.A report shows that without a good night’s sleep, students seem to be weaker (虚弱) than they should be. Many students have fallen asleep during class at one time or another. Too muchhomework is not the only reason why students stay up late. Some watch TV or play the computer games late into the night.Experts have ever said that the students should develop good study habits. So some clever students never study late, they are able to work well in class.( ) 61. The 10-year-old boy begged for more minute to sleep because__________.A. he didn’t have enough sleepB. it wasn’t time for him to get upC. he didn’t want to go to schoolD. he wanted his mother to wake him up( )62. In this passage we know if students don’t get enough sleep, they may________.A. become too weak to sleepB. not work well in classC. go to bed earlyD. be weak in English( )63.

According to the passage, which of the following is right?_________A. If you want to study better, you must work hard at night.B. Sleeping less means working hard.C. Some clever students are able to work well in class because they have good study habits.D. Students don’t have enough sle ep because they have lots of homework to do.第二卷笔试部分(共35分)五、首字母填空(共5小题,计5分)66.I want to travel, e______________to English-speaking countries.67.Keeping p__________, such as dogs and cats is more and more popular among young and old.68.Have you ever h_______________ of the interesting story?69.Would you m_______________ turning down the music?70.He has been c________________ stamps for five years.六、短文选词填空(共10小题,计10分)But、become、go、and、wok、meet、wake、watch、copy、wear、lie、doMr Beckman 71 in a company for nearly twenty years.
