If we are wise, having enough experience and know-ledge, we regard these failures as a necessary and 1 part of the learning process. But often as parents and teachers, we don't give this 2 to our children.Donnie was a third-grader. His 3 about failure kept him from classroom games that other children enjoyed. He didn't often answer my questions — he was afraid of 4 mistakes. I tried my best to build his self-confidence. But nothing changed 5 midterm, when Mary, a new teacher, came.She was young and pretty, and she was loved by every student, 6 Donnie. It was her who made a big difference to Donnie later.One morning, we were working on math problems on the blackboard , Donnie had copi-ed the problems clearly and 7 , But he'd missed the fourth problem and began to cry with his head in his arms. I didn't know what to do. Suddenly, a smile 8 on Mary's face from her desk she got a box 9 pencils. "Look, Donnie, "she said gently, kneeling (蹲在) beside him. “I've g ot something to 10 you. "She removed the pencils, one at a time, and placed them on his desk. "See these pencils,Donnie,”she continued, "They 11 Mrs Landon and me. See how the erasers are worn?, That's because we make mistakes too. But we erase the mistakes and try again. That's what you 12 learn to do, too. "She kissed him and stood up. "Here. she said, "I'll leave one of these pencils on your desk,so you will remember that everybody makes mistakes, even teachers. Donnie looked up with 13 in his eye s and a smile.The pencil became Donnie's 14 . That, together with Mary's encouragement, gradually made him understand 15 the meaning of making mistakes is — it's all right to make mistakes, as long as you erase them and try again.1．A．similar B．active C．important D．interesting2．A．field B．present C．left D．right3．A．doubt B．worries C．hopes D．happiness4．A．creating B．correcting C．making D．receiving5．A．since B．after C．until D．when6．A．including B．include C．without D．with7．A．simply B．carefully C．carelessly D．hurried8．A．appeared B．recalled C．disappeared D．refused9．A．made of B．covered with C．full of D．written by10．A．show B．interest C．pass D．find11．A．come to B．listen to C．belong to D．go to12．A．might B．must C．could D．may13.

There are a lot of myths about the human brain.One of the biggest myths is that we only use 10 percent of our brains. The next part of the myth is that if we can learn to use the rest of our brains, then we’ll be much smarter. People say this all the time, but it’s absolutely not true! The truth is that although we don’t know everything about the human brain, we know that each part of it has an important function (功能) . Modern scientists think the "10 percent myth" ridiculous (荒谬的) .The other most popular myth is about being "right brained" or "left brained". According to this myth, people who use the right side of their brains are more artistic and creative. People who use the left side of their brains are better at math and science. This is as popular as the 10 percent myth, and it’s also wrong. In 2013, a study at an American university examined the right brain and left brain myth. According to the study, we use both sides of our brains equally (相等地). "It’s true that we use different parts of our brains for different things. We use our left side for language more, and our right side when we need to pay attention. But there is no evidence (证据) that creative people use the right side more or that scientific people use the left side more.We’ve talked about myths, so let’s look at a few interesting facts about the brain. First of all, the brain feels no pain. Second, about 75 percent of the brain is made of water. It’s also the fattest organ in your body. Here’s another interesting fact about the brain. Around the time you turn 18 years old, it stops growing.6.What do modern scientists think of the "10 percent myth"?A.It is humorousB.It is correctC. I t is wrongD. It is creative7. The underlined word "This" in Paragraph 3 refers to ______________.A. the left brain mythB. the right brain and left brain mythC. the use of human brainsD. the study of an American university8. According to the facts mentioned in the passage, __________ may use the left brain more.A. Robert, who is learning EnglishB. Kate, who is drawing picturesC. Jenny, who is designing clothesD. Jacob, who is doing research9. Which of the following is TRUE about the human brain?A. It is growing all life long.B. The right side is used more by artists.C. Some parts of it are not used at all.D. Three quarters of it is made of water.10. The passage mainly tells about _____________.A. the growing of the brainB. different functions of the brainC. right brain and left brainD. myths and facts about the brainCA computer program that could help catch and ever translates from aliens in outer space has been started by a British scientist.If aliens are discovered one day, scientists fear their language may make it possible tounderstand them. But John Elliott of needs Metropolitan Univer sity in Britain has come up with a program that can figure out the structure(结构)of their language. He thinks that’s the first step in understanding what they are saying. Dr.Elliott’s program would compare an alien language to a database(数据库)of 60 differentlanguages in the world to look for a similar structure. He believes that even an alien language will have its own nguage has to be structured in a certain way, or it will be harder to use,he told New Scientist magazine.Research had shown that it is possible to know if a signal carries a language rather than apicture or music. Dr.Elliott has gone a step further by finding a way to pick out what might be words and sentences. Because languages have different word orders, Dr.Elliott has set up a library of the sentence structures of 60 human languages.If a message is received from outer space, it could be compared against this database.Scientist would then be able to see if it’s similar to any human language, or a mix of the language.However, Dr.Elliott also said that in order to translate what the aliens are actually saying, it may still be necessary to have a code book.11.Why did Dr.Elliott come up with the program?A. To learn more about outer space.B. To develop a new language.C. To help translate the messages for aliens.D. To compare an alien language to human languages.12.According to Dr.Elliott, what’s the first step of understanding an alien language?A. Coming up with a program.B. Knowing a structure.C. Understanding aliens.D. Discovering aliens.13.What does paragraph 4 mainly tell us?A. Some necessary conditions for making the program work.B. Dr.Elliott’s findings about different kinds of languages.C. Three important functions of the program.D. The number of sentence structures of human languages.14.How does the program work when it receives a message from aliens?A. Mix the message with 60 human languages.B. Translate the message and send it to the database.C. Pick out the sentence structure and translate it.D. Compare the message to the database of 60 human languages.15.What can we infer from the story?A. Not all languages have their own structure.B. The structure of alien languages is similar to that of human languages.C. To translate alien languages, there is much work to do.D. Alien languages are signals carrying pictures and music.四．七选五Have you ever counted the number of digits in your mobile phone number? Your number has 11 digits. You may sometimes find it hard to remember your number. 1.Why is that?The 11 digits can be divided into three parts. 2.The first three numbers tell you which mobile phone service provider you are using. For example, 135 is for the China Mobile Communication Corporation and 188 is for China Unicom. The fourth to the seventh digits tell you which area the number is recorded in. And the last four digits are random(随机的).3.We once had 10 numbers. But as our population grew, there were not enough numbers for us to use. So we began to use 11 digits starting from 1999.Eleven digits can be used to make tens of billions of mobile phone numbers, according to Xinhua News Agency. That's enough for each person to have seven or eight phone numbers to use in China. ually, the service provider will reuse a canceled number after three to six months. If you call a number that you haven't contacted for a long time, you may find that its owner has changed.Besides China, Britain and Japan also use 11 digit mobile phone numbers. But their numbers always startwith zero. 5.Countries like the United States, Australia and India use phone numbers with 10 digits. Canada's mobile phone numbers are perhaps the world's shortest: they use seven digits.A.Each part has a different meaning.B.So they cannot create as many numbers as we can.C.That's because China has the longest mobile phone numbers in the world.D.Also, mobile phone numbers can be recycled.E.We should use different mobile phone numbers when we are in different places.F.The longer the mobile phone number is, the safer the mobile phone will be.G.The main reason for using 11 digits is that we have the largest population in the world.五．书面表达学校是否有必要设立“无作业日”？对此，你在班中进行了调查。

American magician David Blaine left the glass box in which he had lived for 44 days without food on October 19. Hundreds of people came to watch the end of his starvation experiment, which had become o ne of London’s main tourist attractions.Looking thinner and darker, 30 year-old Blaine was taken out of his box over the River Thames(泰晤士河) and sent to hospital at once. Doctors said he had to eat food slowly, or he would risk losing his life. He had been drinking only water since September 5.Blaine was brought up by his grandparents in Brooklyn, New York since he was born. He first became known as a street magician in the early 1990s. He soon found himself doing magic tricks in bars for the likes of American actor Leonardo DiCaprio and his super model friends.Over the last ten years Blaine has become famous with a combination of breathtaking magic and clever tricks aimed at getting a lot of attention.In 1999, he was buried in a coffin (棺材) for one week and, in 2000, he spent 62 hours in a giant block of ice. Last year he stood on the top of a 25-meter pillar(柱子) in the center of New York for 35 hours before jumping into a pile of boxes.“I think a lot of people are unable to accept that they’re able to do what they can do,” he said. “They don’t realize we can survive. The human being is an amazing creation.”But he seemed to have suffered from spending so long in the glass box. He said that sometimes he was unable to see, had serious back pains and lost his sense of taste.( ) 1.

The nose, eyes and ears have been carved in the accurate proportions(比例). That's not easy for an object 180 meters long, 64 meters high and 35 meters wide. The Sphinx was built about 2600 BC. But no one knows what tools were used or by whom. The Egyptians wrote very little about the building of the Sphinx. No one knows what the Sphinx looked like when it was first finished because both natural erosion(侵蚀) and people's damage have changed its shape. Many earlier pictures of the Sphinx show it with wings, the body of a lion, and the face of a man.Today only the man and the lion can be seen. To this day, people can't agree with each other on the true role of the Sphinx.21.The writer wrote this text to tell us.A. some information about the SphinxB. something about the Great Pyramid in EgyptC. what the Sphinx looks like todayD. to visit the Sphinx22.Many parts of the Sphinx is mentioned in the passage except.A. the noseB. the mouthC. the eyesD. the ears23.Which of the following about the Sphinx is known to people?A.

The Sphinx today looks the same as what it used to be.D. People protected the Sphinx very well.BHow to know yourself betterMost of us believe we know ourselves better than anyone else in the world. In fact, many people are still strangers to themselves. From now on, know yourself better.Take a moment to write down the things that you know about yourself — your interests, likes, dislikes, strong points, weak points, hopes, fears, dreams, etc. Think carefully and find out how they affect(影响) your life.Another way is to take personality and psychological(心理的) tests. By answering the questions, you will understand how you think, make decisions, do things, communicate with people, live your life, etc.Pay attention to what your family, friends, teachers and classmates say about you.

Five.CSherlock Holmes is probably the best-known detective character in the world, but do you know that there was a Chinese detective who had similar skills?He was Detective Dee — Di Renjie. Di Renjie appeared as the main character in a number of novels and films. In these novels and films, Detective Dee solved many cases. "The first rule of solving cases is that you need a good memory. The second is that you need to closely watch people's facial (面部的) expressions and judge (判断) their speeches," explained Detective Dee in a movie.Although there were always made-up stories in movies and novels, Detective Dee was a real person in history. This is unlike Holmes, who was created by the UK writer Arthur Conan Doyle. Di Renjie was a prime minister (宰相) of the Tang Dynasty. Di Renjie is known for his wisdom. In some films, he is also a kung fu master who is good at fighting.The written history of Dee can date back to the 1950s, when Robert Hans van Gulik from the Netherlands wrote a series of detective novels which tell stories of Detective Dee. In history, however, Dee was more than a detective, he was also a judge (法官). It was said that while working as the head of the Supreme Court, he was a great judge. During that time, he judged 17,000 cases in a year and nota single person complained(抱怨).31.In Di Renjie's opinion, a good detective should do the following except .A. watch people carefullyB. have a good memoryC. judge the speechesD. be a kung fu master32.From the third paragraph, we can learn that .A. Di Renjie was only a judgeB. Di Renjie was good at fightingC. Di Renjie was very cleverD. Di Renjie was created by Arthur Conan Doyle33.What kind of novels did Robert Hans van Gulik write?A. Adventure stories.B. Love stories.C. Detective stories.D. Horror stories.34.Why was Di Renjie a great judge?A. Because he was the head of the Supreme Court.B. Because he judged lots of cases in a year and no one complained.C. Because he was not only clever but also strong.D. Because he was a detective and judge.35.Which is the best title of the passage?A. A Great Chinese Detective and JudgeB. Di Renjie and Robert Hans van GulikC. Sherlock Holmes and Di RenjieD. The Head of the Supreme Court四、任务型阅读(每小题1分,共10分)Is there something strange high up in the world's tallest mountains? If so, is it a big bear? Is it a monkey?36No one knows. This mystery has puzzled(困惑)the world for years.In 1887, a mountain climber found large footprints(脚印)in the snow.37But men don't walk without shoes in the snow!In 1906, another climber saw more than footprints. He saw a very large animal standing on two legs. 38Fifteen years later newspapers had new stories about the "something". A mountain climber said he had seen the "Snowman" walk slowly across the snow, far below him.39From then on, more and more people had stories to tell. But not until 1951 did a mountain climber bring back pictures of large footprints.40So it was not a bear or a monkey. Could it be anape(猿)man? The mystery keeps growing.
