Many people would think of Confucius, whose birthday was September 28. Although he lived over 2000years ago, people still remember and respect him for his contribution to the education today.Confucius lived in the Kingdom of Lu, which lies in today's Shandong Province. He lived during the Spring and Autumn Period. He had a hard childhood. His father died when he was only 3years old. His mother brought him up. As a child, he had to work to help his mother, but young Confucius didn't give up studying. He visited many famous teachers and leaned music, history, poetry and sports.Later, he became a teacher and started the first public school in Chinese history.At that time only children from noble families could go to school, but Confucius believed everyone should go to school if they wanted to learn.He had about 3000students in his lifetime.Today, people still follow Confucius'lessons. He told us that we have something worthy to be learned."When I am with three people, one of them must be better than me in some areas. I choose their good qualities and follow them."He also taught us that thinking is very important in study."All study but no thinking makes people puzzled.All thinking but no study makes people lazy."Confucius is not only a great teacher, but also a famous thinker with wise thoughts about the world and society. His most important ideas are about kindness and good manners. He said young people should take care of the old. People should give up only thinking of themselves and work for others.Some of his popular words are:"A kind person should care for others"and"A person should be strict with himself, but be kind to other.

I thought if I asked for help, I would be a problem to other people.I walked into the supermarket near my house, not buying anything. I just wanted to stay there quietly. The pain of losing my husband was still too great. And this supermarket held so many sweet memories.He often came with me. and almost every time he'd pretend to go off and look for something special. He always bought me yellow roses. He knew I loved roses.Now, standing by the meat, I searched for the perfect small steak because my husband used to love Steak. Suddenly a woman came up beside me I watched as she picked up a large pack of T-bone steaks dropped them in her basket, hesitated(犹豫不决), and then put them back.She saw me watching her.and she smiled "My husband loves T-bone steaks,but they're so expensive." "My husband passed away eight days ago "I told her.I fought to control the sadness in my voice.Buy him the T-bone steaks And cherish every moment you have together."Surprised by my words, she placed the T-bone steaks in her basket and walked away silently. However, several minutes later that woman came towards me again. In her arms she carried a package. On her face was the brightest smile I had ever seen.As she came closer, I saw what she held, and I couldn't hold back my tears."These are for you, "she said and placed three beautiful yellow roses in my hands. I wanted to tell her what the roses meant for me, but, still unable to speak. I watched as she walked away.I looked down at the beautiful roses. How did she know? Suddenly the answer seemed so clear, I wasn't alone. There were still many people caring for me and willing to help me.

Unluc kily, Mrs. Bartlett, our teacher, didn't put me in the group with any of m y friends. Instead, I was with Mauro, who never spoke English, Juliette , who always wore thick glasses and Rachel, who wore strange clothes.I had never talked to them. Oh, how badly I wanted to be with my friends!I was so sad that I walked up to Mrs. Bartlett. "I know what you want, Karina," she gently patted me on my shoulder, "but your group needs a leader. I need you to help them get a passing grade on this project. Only you can m ake it."I was shocked."Will you help them?" she asked."Yes," I replied. I couldn't believe it came out of my mouth, but it did.I bravely walked to my group and started our project. We had different t asks according to our interests. Gradually, 1 felt myself enjoying their co mpany. I found out Mauro was struggling with English.Behind Juliette's thi ck glasses were her sparkling eyes.Rachel was so creative that she wantedto be a fashion designer. I realized that they were not strange;they were just people that no one cared enough for-except Mrs. Bartlett.Her thoughtfulness brought out the best in the four of us.I learned something that week. I was given a chance to see other peopl e in a new light. I learned that who weare is more important than what we are or seem to be.Mrs. Bartlett gave us an A on that project, butthought we should have handed it right back, for she was the one who truly deserved it.(1)Karina badly wanted to be with her friends because she thought____.A. her friends took great interest in historyB. her group mates knew little about world cultureC. it would be easy for her friends to create newspapersD. it would be hard to communicate with her group mates(2)What can we learn about Karina's group?_______A.

Wohlgemuth, noticed that the hats he worked with turned their heads to the side when hu nting. "It's a lovely behavior, and I was curious about the purpose," he said. "I wanted to know when bats were doing this and why. It seeme d to happen as hats were targeting prey(瞄准猎物), and that turned out to he the case."Wohigemuth's team found that a bat's head and ear movements went with the animal's sonarvocalizations(声纳发声)to help it hunt. The findings show how movements can strengthen signals u sed by senses like sight and hearing-not just in bats, but in dogs and cats , and even in humans.Bats' use of echo-location(回声定位)to find, locate and catch prey is well documented.But the lead author Woh lgemuth and his team are the first to show how the mysterious head and ear movements influence the hunt.The researchers used a novel method to study the head and ear moveme nts of the big brown bat,a common bat species. First, researchers trained the bat to sit on a platfo rm while tracking moving prey.After that, the researchers fixed markers to the top of the bat's head and both ears.The markers allowed the team to m easure the head and ear positions as the bat tracked the prey moving in vari ous directions.They found the head movements took place when the prey changed direct ion or moved unpredictably.The ear movements happened as the prey grew closer, which helped the bat hear the echoes it used to track and catch the prey. Most notably, these head and ear movements went with the bat's v ocalizations,allowing the animal to locate where the prey exactly was.Co-author Cynthia F. Moss said other similar studies missed the importa nce of head and ear movements, because laboratories usually observed the subject with a fixed head position. That's not how animals operate in the real world, when their heads are free to move.Moss compared the bat's head and ear movements to those of other spec ies that use active sensing to process important information."By studying th ese movements," she said,"we as humans can get insight into how movements help animals sense their environment."(1)The research of Wohlgemuth and his team is the first to prove that____.A. head and ear movements help bats locate the preyB. animals send signals to help them hunt more quicklyC. humans learn to hunt by copying animals' movementsD. sonar vocalizations can work for both animals and humans(2)The fourth paragraph is mainly about_____.A. how the bat uses head and ear movements to track moving preyB. how the researchers studied the head and ear movements of the bat C. how the bat is trained to track the prey by moving its head and ears D. how the researchers measured the moving hat's head and ear positions (3)Which is the best title for the passage?______A. Bats: A Master of Night HuntingB. Bats: A Model of Fast MovementsC. Bats: An Expert of Exact LocationD. Bats: An Example of Mysterious Animals29.Our brains believe information automatically(自动地)-even if it's false-because we can learn efficiently this way. "We're learning false information not because we're poor learners or not working hard," says David Rapp, a psychology and education professor at Northwestern University. "In many cases, it's a useful skill for us to accept what people tell us, because often what people tell us is true."When we hear new information, those fresh facts don't cover what we k new before. We'll draw on old or new information when the situation comesup.. Short-term memories are easier for our brains to access than facts we heard longer ago, because they're fresher in our minds-even if they're wrong. Since we have to think back further to remember old infor mation, we will often ignore it in favour of new inaccurate(不准确的)information. New information is what we're currently thinking about or has b een recently presented to us, while the old one isn't as readily available.We also buy into the facts that seem more reasonable. Often, this mea ns they fit better with what we want to believe, which can explain why peopl e quote different facts in political debates. Both candidates said something that was objectively true or not, but people would go with what they hope to be true.Things get even trickier when truth and falsehood coexist in the informati on.For instance,our brains aren't sure whether to believe the descriptions of London in Harry Potter."Don't look for that train station to Hogwarts, but there might be str eets mentioned that are real," says Dr.Rapp.In fact,our brains can keep track of what's true or false by mentally tagging(标记)facts as either true or false,but sorting all that information takes time. In many cases, we are unlikely to think critically to get information, especially when we are reading for ple asure.However, it's worth putting in the extra effort to have a second thought about the information that seems doubtful. "With the ease that we can look things up on the Internet," says Dr. Rapp, "there's no reason not to." "Seek out reliable sources," he adds.(1)The missing sentence in Paragraph 2 might be "____ ".A. We always find the information updating fast nowadaysB. Oftentimes, we use the information we heard most recentlyC. From time to time, we fail to remember unimportant thingsD. We hardly see old information that is different from the truth(2)The underlined phrase "buy into" in Paragraph 3 can be replaced by___.A. believe inB. learn fromC. come up withD. care about(3)Why does the writer mention Harry Potter in Paragraph 4____A. To prove people are unable to think critically when reading.B. To show the information we get can be a mix of true and false.C. To warn readers of the negative influence, of false information.D. To explain how individual facts are mentally tagged as true or false.(4)What can we learn from the passage?_______A. Our brains can do very little with false information.B. Short-term memories can cover long-term memories.C. Dr. Rapp calls on people not to depend on the Internet.D. People need to double-check the information they question.七、阅读短文,根据短文内容回答问题.(共10分,每小题10分)30.It is reported that tea has helped poor farmers in Yunnan find a way out of poverty(贫穷)thanks to the efforts of a man, who had a chance to come across some loca l farmers there.Ren Huaican was suffering mass mouth takers(溃疡)when he first visited the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er city in the spring of 2006. However, after picking off several leaves from the old tea trees and che wing them, he felt amazed to find the pain was gone the next morning.The fact that the green leaves worked magic for him made Ren begin to show gr eat interest in the tea from Yunnan.During his search for tea production bases in the mountains across Yunn an, he found that the local tea business was scattered(分散的)and most of the tea farmers were living in extreme poverty. Ren realized w hat led to the tea industry problem was not only the underdeveloped tea mar ket, but also the poverty of the local tea farmers. So he made up his mind to change things in the tea industry in order to help the local people get out of poverty.In September 2006,he established the Kunming Colorful Yunnan King-Shine Tea Industry Co.It hired poor peasants from neighboring areas to remove weeds and pick tea le aves.Professional technicians were invited to teach the peasants how to do their jobs scientifically.Besides,for the farmers who lived off the old tea trees,the company taught them how to scientifically manage their trees and produc e the best tea.As a result,their tea quality has greatly improved, and the price has gone up. In this way, the tea company has helped many people get out of poverty.One manager in the company turned down higher incomes and job opport unities in Beijing.He found it hard to leave because of all the things they ha d done and all the people he had known."We are a big family," he said.(1)When did Ren Huaican first visit the Jingmai Mountain in Pu'er city?(2)How did Ren Huaican feel when he found the pain was gone?(3)What led to the tea industry problem?(4)What is the fourth paragraph mainly about?(5)Why did the manager turndown higher incomes and job opportunities in Beiji ng?八、文段表达(10分)从下面两个题目中任选一题,根据中文和英文提示,完成一篇不少于50词的文段写作.文中已给出内容不计入总词数‘所给提示词语仅供选用.请不要写出你的校名和姓名.32.题目2无奋斗,不青春!某英文网站正在开展以"越努力越幸福(The Harder I Work, the Happier I Will Be)''为主题的征文活动.请你用英文写一篇短文投稿,谈谈你在初中生活中的一个小目标是什么,你是如何努力去实现的,以及你从中学到了什么.提示词语:strive for(奋斗), make a plan, stick to, satisfied, pleasure 提示问题:What did you do to strive for your goal?What have you learned from your experience?Key:13.D 14.B 15.D 16.C 17.A 18.A 19.C 20.A 21.B22.D 23.C 24.B25.DCDABBCA26.BDC27.DCA28.ABC29.BABD30.

We can see differences when we pay attention to the way words are used. Let’s look at some words about animals and plants. Most expressions in Chinese about the dog, for example, “a homeless do g”, “a mad dog”, “a running dog” and “a dog catching a mouse”, have negative meanings. But in Western countries, dogs are considered to be honest and good friends of humans. In English, people use the dog to describe positive actions. For example, “you are a lucky dog” means you are a lucky person. And “every dog has its day” means each person has good luck sometimes. To describe a person’s serious illness, they say “sick as a dog”. The word “dog-tired” means very tired. However, Chinese love cats very much. But in Western culture, “cat” is often used to describe a woman who is cruel(冷酷的). There are many other examples of how “cat” is used differently as well.The rose is regarded as a symbol of love in both China and some Western countries. People think the rose stands for love, peace, courage and friendship. And the rose is the national flower of England, America and many other countries.The words about plants and animals are used in positive or negative ways in different cultures. We can learn about many differences in cultures by comparing how some words are used.阅读短文,根据短文内容判断所给句子正(T)误(F)。
