The following are a few study tips for exams, which will help you to answer your papers with confidence.32 . It is better to have all the study material with you before you start reading. This not only includes your texts and notes but also things like a dictionary and reference books with you.Study in advance. 33 . What most of the students do is to study only the so-called important points. As a result, even if the paper is easy, you get a low score. So start studying at least a month before the exams. If time does not permit you to learn your lessons, at least go through them regularly.Understand the lessons. Do not just recite the answers. Try to understand what you are reading for this is the best method for good recall at the time of exams. The major disadvantage of reciting the answers is that even if you forget one word of the answer during your examination, you are likely to go completely blank. 34 .Follow some effective study skills. There are some easy ways to study well, like reading the lesson casually, at least twice. 35 . When you start reading for the second time, read those underlined points first and then the rest of the text. Before going to exams, read only the underlined points. This is one of the last minute study tips for exams.A. Set down the study material beforehand.B. Collect the study material.C. But how do you deal with the pressure in study?D. This happens because of improper planning and too much stress.E. And while reading, mark the important points with a pencil and move on.F.

David Beckham was born in 1975 in London, at a place called Leytonstone. When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds Untied. During 1995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.His goals made him a household name. In the first game of the 1996-1997 season, he scored a surprising goal from beyond the halfway line; seeing the goalkeeper a little way out of his goal, Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score astonishing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.21.Which word can take the place of the underlined word “passion” in Paragraph 1?A. successB. interestC. prizeD. skill22.The unusually surprising way that he scored goals .A. helped him to gain many prizes for EssexB. kept him playing for Leeds UnitedC. offered him the chance to join the national teamD. made him popular and famous23.Which of the following shows the right order of what Beckham experienced?a.

Beckham played for the schools of EssexA. e, d, a, c, bB. b, e, d, a, cC. e, b, a, d,c D. b, d, e, c, a24.The passage mainly talks about .A. how Beckham became a successful football playerB. what abilities Beckham had to score so many goalsC. when Beckham became famous all over BritainD. why Beckham could win in football league gamesBIf you ever visit an English village, make sure to look out for morris dancing. Undoubtedly one of the strangest traditions of English culture, morris dancing is a form of folk dancing that dates back to the 15th century. If you ever get the opportunely, you really have to see it.Men and women wearing old-fashioned, shabby clothing dance in the streets of towns and villages across the country during the holiday periods. Women wear long, frilly(有褶皱边的) skirts and men wear short trousers with bells attached to them. They dance to traditional folk music which is often played on traditional musical instruments.Some groups carry heavy black sticks which they beat against each other while they dance. Other groups wave handkerchiefs in the air while they perform. The dances are usually performed near a pub so that when it’s over, the dancers and audience can sing some traditional folk songs over a pint of beer. The celebrations will often continue long into the night, by which point most people are too drunk to think about performing again.Morris dancing is a great English tradition but it’s facing a big crisis. Asthe years go by, fewer and fewer young people are joining morris dancing groups. The dancers are getting older and older and eventually, if nothing is done to change this trends, the tradition will die out within the next few decades.If you’ve ever had the fortune to see morris dancing, you may understand why teenagers aren’t rushing to sign up. Putting it to the point, it’s not exactly the coolest thing for an 18-year-old to be doing. Why dress up in bells and funny costumes when you could be going clubbing? Or playing sport? Or doing anything else?However, it would be a great shame to lose such a fun and lively part of England’s history and culture. It’s important to look after some traditions and customs especially when it’s something as harmless and happy as morris dancing. So here’s a toast to the next generation of would-be morris dancers! Let’s hope they don’t leave it too late.25.What is the passage mainly about?A. The origins of morris dancingB. The popularity of morris dancingC. The protection of morris dancingD. The introduction of morris dancing26.What to we know about morris dancers?A. They dance in pubs late into the nightB. They sing folk music while they danceC. They wear long dresses with bells attachedD. They perform with sticks or handkerchiefs27.What is the present situation of morris dancing?A. It is losing appeal among young peopleB. It is keeping pace with people’s demandC. It is witnessing great changes in historyD. It is being criticized by modern people28.What does the author think about morris dancing?A. It help stay healthyB. It is fun for teenagersC. It deserves mole attentionD. It is too old-fashionedCDogs Don’t Tell Jokes-By Louis SacharTwelve-year-old Gary Booneknows he was born to be aedian.

Due to being laughed at by his classmates, Gary Boone thought winning the school talent show would be his dream of proving himself to be a real edian, but on the big night his dream went wrong with funny results.Winners Never Quit-By Mia HammMia Hamm, American soccerchampion, tells atrue-to-life inspiring story of learning that winning and losing aren't as important as being part of a team.

The name of the festival comes from the Arabic month in which it is celebrated. Ramadan is celebrated in countries all over the world, especially in Africa and the Middle East. The time for celebrating Ramadan varies each year. People celebrate it in the ninth month of the Arabic lunar calendar. During Ramadan, people must not eat during the day:from when the sun comes up to when the sun goes down, people celebrating Ramadan will not eat or smoke. When the sun has gone down, however, the celebration begins. People often stay up all night eating, singing and dancing.EasterIn late spring, many people around the world celebrate Easter. The festival is a celebration of spring and it is also a religious holiday. It is the time for Easter bunnies and egg hunts, and of course for eating lots of delicious foods. Easter is celebrated in late March or early April but the exact dates are different from year to year. People celebrate Easter in different ways:in some countries, the Easter Bunny-a big rabbit-will visit people and children will go on egg hunts, looking for eggs and candy that have been hidden by their parents. In other countries, Easter is a time for children to dress up like witches and go from door to door asking for candy---muchlike Halloween in the US.

Sometimes I play computer games. But my parents hate to see me playing games on the computer. Maybe they have heard too much news about how QQ and computer games harm children. Once I went toa net bar(网吧) to play games after school. But after that I told my parents that I was playing basketball at school. I said so because I didn't want to make them unhappy.

Do foreign parents do the same to their children?Please help me.Li Ping, BeijingLetter TwoDear Li Ping,I don't think it's strange for parents to keep their children away from anything bad.

All my friends, in middle school went to other schools. I wanted to make some new friends. However, I was shy and wasn’t good at making new friends.On my first day at school, I looked at others who were talking in groups happily. How I wish I were one of them! I guess I was very lucky then. At lunch in the dinning hall, when I was eating at a table alone, a girl came to me. “Excuse me, is this seat taken?” she asked. I immediately shook my head. She smiled and sat down opposite to me. I felt a little awkward and didn't know what to say at all, but I really wanted to communicate with her. It was a good opportunity to make friends, with her. When I looked up, I found she was smiling at me. Her smile calmed me down. “I really like this school. It’s beautiful, but I don't know anyone here. All my friends w ent to other schools,” said the girl. Hearing her words, I immediately said, “My friends are not here either. Can we be friends?” I was surprised. I couldn't believe I would say something like that, and to my surprise, that girl immediately said “yes”. We both smiled. We became very good friends.Now it’s the beginning of a new term again. Many students may have no friends at their new schools. If you are also as shy as I used to be, please don’t be afraid to talk to others. You may get a surprise and make a new friend. After all, others want to make new friends, too.9.We know on her first day at school, the author ________.A.only knew a few people at her schoolB.hoped she could make some new friendsC.met some old friends at her new schoolD.hoped she could go to her old friends schools10.The underlined word“awkward”in Paragraph 2 is close in meaning to “__________”.A.boredB.excitedC.embarrassedD.interested11.What did the girl do after the author asked if they could become friends?A.She agreed at once.B.She thought for a long time.C.She felt a little down.D.She sat down in no time.12.What’s the author’s purpose in writing the passage?A.To show that high school is really exciting.B.To tell us how lucky she was in high school.C.To encourage shy people to talk to others.D.To advise us to have a good first day in high school.DIn 1978, I was 18 and was working as a nurse in a small town about 270 kms away from Sydney, Australia. I was looking forward to having five days off from duty. Unfortunately, the only one train a day back to my home in Sydney had already left. So I thought I’d hitch a ride (搭便车).I waited by the side of the highway for three hours but no one stopped for me. Finally, a man walked over and introduced himself as Gordon. He said that although he couldn’t give me a lift, I should come back to his house for lunch. He noticed me standing for hours in the November heat and thought I must be hungry. I was doubtful as a young girl but he assured (使…放心) me I was safe, and he also offered to help me find a lift home afterwards. When we arrived at his house, he made us sandwiches. After lunch, he helped me find a lift home.Twenty-five years later, in 2003, while I was driving to a nearby town one day, I saw an elderly man standing in the glaring heat, trying to hitch a ride. I thought it was another chanceto repay someone for the favour I’d been given decades earlier. I pulled over and picked him up. I made him comfortable on the back seat and offered him some water.After a few moments of small talk, the man said to me, “You haven’t changed a bit, even your red hair is still the same.”I couldn’t remember where I’d met him. He then told me he was the man who h ad given me lunch and helped me find a lift all those years ago.

We’d passed several other elderly custom­ers but our daughter, Norah seemed drawn to a man. Her face lit up like the sun and she waved excitedly saying, “Hi, old person! It’s my birthday today!” “He llo, little lady! And how old are you today?” He asked. They chatted for a few seconds.We said goodbye and carried on shopping. A few minutes later, Norah asked me, “Can I take a picture with the old man for my birthday?” I thought he couldn’t have go ne very far. So we quickly found him. “Excuse me, sir? She*d like to know if you*d take a photo with her for her birthday,” I asked. He looked surprised and then happy. uA photo? With me?” He asked. “Yes! For my birthday!” Norah cheered. And so they posed together and then they hugged each other like they were long lost friends.We thanked Mr Dan for sparing a few minutes of his day with us. He teared up and said, “No, thank you. This is the best day I’ve had in a long time. You’ve made me feel so happy and valuable, Ms Norah.”Now, Norah and Mr Dan often visit each other. While they don’t, Norah makes sure to call him at least once a week. Norah worried about Mr Dan being alone and brought Mr Dan a dog on his 82nd birthday.

AThe Healthy Habits Survey shows that only about one third of American seniors have correct habits. Here are some findings and expert advice.1. How many times did you brush your teeth yesterday?Finding: A full 33% of seniors brush their teeth only once a day.Step: Remove the 300 types of bacteria in your mouth each morning with a battery-operated toothbrush. Brush gently for 2 minutes, at least twice a day.2. How many times did you wash your hands or bathe yesterday?Finding: Seniors, on average, bathe fewer than 3 days a week.

The text probably comes from______.A. a guide bookB. a book reviewC. a popular magazineD. an official document (文件)BCatalin Baciu from Romania wanted to make money in Germany. So, he and his wife, Oltita, went to Bucharest, the capital city of Romania, to get legal papers to move toGermany.However, when they arrived, they were surprised by what they saw.“Hundreds of street children were living in a busy and dirty city of two and a half million people. Many of them were using drugs. They all seemed lost. Most of them were under ten years old. Oltita had tears in her eyes," Catalin said.Many of these streets children were orphans (孤儿)。
They had grown up in the government orphanages, but had run away. They thought any place would be better than the orphanages. But the streets were cold and hard. The winters were freezing. The children had to sleep in warm sewers (下水道) under the ground. Many of the children even became involved with crime and violence (暴力).The Baciu's did not like the sight of so many pitiful children in Bucharest. They wanted to leave immediately and go to Germany. However, that night, Catalin and Oltita stayed with a friend in Buchares. "The friend we were staying with was working with street children. I was deeply touched by what he and his follows were trying to o...they were sacrificing (牺牲) their jobs and lives to save street children," Catalin said.After that visit, the Baciu's completely changed their life plan. Instead of moving to Germany, they began working with street children in Bucharest. They started by opening a home called House of Hope, which provided a warm and loving place for children who needed to get away from the streets. Many hospitals and business workers called House of Hope when they found troubled kids. Everyone knew the House of Hope would help.4. Oltita had tears in her eyes because_______.A. she felt pity for the street childrenB. she almost lost her way in BucharestC. she didn't get legal papersD. she would leave Romania5. We can infer that the orphans in the orphanages__________.A. liked to run aroundB. lived a very busy lifeC. didn't receive good careD. were under ten years old6. Which of the following can best describe the couple's friend?A. Kind-hearted.B. Short-sighted.C. Hard-workingD. Self-confident.7. The Baciu's opened House of HopeA. at the risk of losing their homeB. under the influence of their friendC. in support of be local hospitalD. with the help of the Germany governmentCHave you ever been afraid to talk back when you were treated unfairly? Have you ever bought something just because the salesman talked you into it?Many people are afraid to assert (坚持)themselves. Dr. Robert Albert, author of STAND UP, SPEAK OUT and TALK BACK, thinks it is because their self-respect is low. "There's always a superior around--- a parent, a teacher, a boss who knows better" But Albert and other scientists are doing something to help people assert themselves.They offer assertiveness training courses, A. T. for short. In the A. T . course people learn that they have a right to be themselves. They learn to speak out and feel good about doing so. They learn to be aggressive without hurting other people.In one way, learning to speak out is to get rid of fear. A group taking an A. T. course will help the timid person to lose his fear. But A. T. uses an even stronger motive to share the need. The timid person speaks out in the group because he wants to tell how he feels.Whether or not you speak up for yourself depends on your self-respect. If your face ismore important than you, you may feel less of a person. You start to doubt your answers to problems. However, once you get to feel good about yourself, you can learn to speak out.8. The problem the writer talks about is that______.A. some people buy things they don't wantB. some people are afraid to speak up for their rightsC. there are 1oo many superiorsD. some people don't think enough of themselves9. The cause of the problem talked about in the text is that.A. some people have a low self-respectB. there is always someone around who knows betterC. salesmen talk people into buying things they don't wantD. people don't share enough10. The underlined word“timid" probably means“_______”in Chinese.A.胆小的B.优秀的C.勇敢的D.无知的11. One thing the AT. course doesn't do is to________.A. share the need of peopleB. show people they have a right to be themselvesC. help people overcome fearD. help people to assert themselves even if others sufferDBefore a new airliner goes into service, every part of it is tested again and again. But there are two tests more important than all the others. One of them is very strange and the other is very dangerous.The first of these is called the"tank test". A modern airliner must fly at very high altitudes. Air must be pumped into the plane so that the passengers can breathe. The metal structure of the plane has to be very strong for this reason. When the plane is filled with air, the air presses against the skin of the plane inside. The pressure on a small window, for example, is like a huge, giant foot that is trying to get out. If a small part of the plane were to crack, the plane would explode in the sky. In order to test the structure of the plane, it is lowered into a huge tank of water. Then it is filled with air. The pressure inside the plane is greater than it ever will be when it is in the air. Finally, there is an explosion. This does not cause so much damage inside the water tank as it would anywhere else. Engineers can discover which part of the plane has cracked. This part will be made stronger.The most dangerous test happens when the new plane is going through test flight in the air. The test pilot must find out exactly what happens when the engines are all shut off at once. He takes the plane up very high. Then he shuts the engines off. The plane begins to fall like a stone. It is the pilot's job to find out how he gets control of the plane again. These two tests are examples of how planes are made safe before they ever carry passengers.12. The purpose of the tank test is to find out_______.A. how much air can be pumped into a planeB. how much air passengers need to breathe at certain altitudesC. what would happen if the plane crashed in the waterD. if there are any weak parts in the plane that would burst under pressure13. The test is carried out under water because______.A. the pressure of water is greater than airB. the first Comets crashed in the waterC. there is less damage when the explosion happens under waterD. this is the only way engineers can find out which part has cracked14. Why the second important test which the author refers to is most dangerous one is probably that_________.A. the metal structure of the plane is not very strongB. too much air may get into the planeC. the pilot may lose control of the planeD. the plane begins to fall like a stone15. This passage is mainly about______.A. the plane structureB. the importance of flying safelyC. the way of pumping air into the planeD. two important tests on airplanes第二节.七选五(共5小题:每小题2分,满分10分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。
