Daily art.BWhen I was in my fourth year of teaching, I was also (and am still) a high school track and field coach(田径教练). One year, I had a student, John, who entered my class when he was a junior. John changed to our school from Greece, and seemed to be interested in sports, so I encouraged him to join our track team. I explained to him that even though he had never taken part in it before, I did believe that he could do well in any event, and I would be willing to coach him at whichever ones interested him. He accepted the offer, and began to work hard at every practice.About a month later, I had found out from other sources that John was a first-class tennis player, winning various junior awards in his home country. I went to him asking, "John, I really appreciate that you came out for the track team, but why didn't you play tennis instead? It seems that would interest you a lot more, sinceyou're so good at it." John answered, "Well, I like tennis, but you told me that you believed in me, and that you thought I could do well in track, so I wanted to try it for that reason."From then on, I often remember my student's reply. I told it to a friend and she suggested I write it down to share somewhere with more teachers. No matter how critical (不满的) students can be of them-selves, I've found that a simple "I trust that you can do it!" can go a long way!25. According to Paragraph 1, the author seems to think more about John's ________A. PE marksB. self-confidenceC. interest in sportsD. state of health26. Why did John take part in the track team?A. He had been an excellent runner.B. He was encouraged by his teacher.C. He liked running more than tennis.D. He had no tennis coach to train him.27. The purpose of this passage is probably _____.A. to build a close teacher-student relationshipB. to introduce a new way of sports trainingC. to explain the value of sports and gamesD. to show the importance of encouragement28. The passage is mainly written for _____.A. teachersB. parentsC. studentsD. playersC"How are you?" is a nice question. It's a friendly way that people in the United States greet each other. But "How are you?" is also a very unusual question. It's a question that often doesn't need an answer. The person who asks "How are you?" hopes to hear the answer "Fine", even if the person's friend isn't fine. The reason is that "How are you?" isn't really a question and "Fine" isn't really an answer. They are simply other ways of saying "Hello" or "Hi".Sometimes, people also don't say exactly what they mean. For example, when someone asks "Do you agree?" the other person might think, "No, I disagree. I think you're wrong…" But it isn't very polite to disagree so strongly, so the other person might say "I'm not sure." It's a nicer way to say that you don't agree with someone.People also don't say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people. For example, many talks over the phone finish when one person says "I have to go now." Often, the person who wants tohang up gives an excuse: "Someone's at the door." "Something is burning on the stove." The excuses might be real, or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn't want to talk any more, but it isn't polite to say that. The excuse is more polite, and it doesn't hurt the other person. Whether they are greeting each other, talking about an idea, or finishing a talk, people don't say exactly what they are thinking. It's an important way that people try to be nice to each other, and it's part of the game of language.29. When a person in the United States asks "How are you?, he or she wants to hear " _______".A. How are you?B. Hello.C. I don't know.D. Fine.30. When a person disagrees with someone, it is polite to say "_______".A. You're wrong. I disagree.B. I'm not sure.C. I'm sure I disagree.D. No, I disagree.31. When a person says "I have to go now" "Someone's at the door", the person may be _______.A. giving an excuseB. hurting someone's feelingC. ill in bedD. asking you a question32. What does the rule of the game of language probably mean?A. Be polite.B. Don't disagree with people.C.Always say what you mean.D. Never say exactly what you are thinking.DWhen other nine-year-old kids were playing games, she was working at a petrol station. When other teens were studying or going out, she struggled to find a place to sleep on the street. But she overcame theseterrible setbacks to win a highly competitive scholarship and gain entry to Harvard University. And her amazing story has inspired a movie, "Homeless to Harvard: The Liz Murray Story" shown in late April.Liz Murray, a 22.year-old American girl, has been writing a real-life story of willpower and determination. Liz grew up in the shadow of two drug-addicted parents. There was never enough food or warm clothes in the house. Liz was the only member of the family who had a job. Her mother had AIDS and died when Liz was just l5 years old. The effect of that LOSS became a turning point in her life. Connecting the environment in which she had grown up with how her mother had died,she decided to do something about it.Liz went back to school. She threw herself into her studies, never telling her teachers that she was homeless. At night, she lived on the streets. ".What drove me to live on had something to do with understanding, by understanding that there was a whole other way of being. I had only experienced a small part of the society,'' she wrote in her book Breaking Night.She admitted that she used envy to drive herself on. She used the benefits that come easily to others, such as a safe living environment, to encourage herself that "next to nothing could hold me down".She finished high school in just two years and won a full scholarship to study at Harvard University. But Liz decided to leave her top university a couple of months earlier this year in order to take care of her father, who has also developed AIDS."I love my parents so much. They are drug addicts. But I never forget that they love me all the time."Liz wants moviegoers to come away with the idea that changing your life is ''as simple as making a decision".33.

AA young woman carrying a three-year-old child got on a bus. The conductor hurried to give her a warm welcome and then kindly asked the other passengers to make more room for the woman and her child.

Now suddenly he has changed his bad behavior,” said a middle-aged man.“Yes, he should be praised and we must write a letter to the company,” said a second passenger. “That's right,” another lady said, “I wish a newspaper reporter were here so that more people could learn from this conductor.” Just then a gentleman who looked like a teacher turned to the conductor and said , “Excuse me, but can I know your name, please?

These were the first roller skates. Merlin was very proud of his invention and dreamed of arriving at the party on wheels while playing the violin.On the night of the party Merlin rolled into the room playing his violin. Everyone was astonished to see him. There was just one problem. Merlin had no way to stop his roller skates. He rolled on and on. Suddenly, he ran into a huge mirror that was hanging on the wall.

Apples, which are about 85 percent water, grow almost everywhere in the world but the hottest and coldest areas (地区). Among the leading countries in apple production are China, France and the United States.There are various kinds of apples, but a very few make up the majority of those grown for sale. The three most common kinds grown in the United States are Delicious, golden Delicious, and McIntosh.Apples are different in colour, size, and taste. The colour of the skin may be red, green, or yellow. They have various sizes, with Delicious apples being among the largest. The taste may be sweet or tart (酸的). Generally, sweet apples are eaten fresh while tart apples are used to make applesauce (苹果酱).Apple trees may grow as tall as twelve metres. They do best in areas that have very cold winters. Although no fruit is yielded during the winter, this cold period is good for the tree.8. It can be learned from the text that Delicious apples are_______________A. grown in France.B. sold everywhere.C. very big.D. quite sweet.9. Cold winter weather is good for _______________A.the growth of apple trees.B. producing large apples.C. improving the taste of apples.D. the increase of water in apples.10. China, France and the United States are considered to _______________A. be large producers of apples.B. be large producers of applesauce.C. have the longest history in apple production.D. have the coldest winter among apple producing countries.11.

They may let you surf the Internet, listen to music and snap photos wherever you are… but they also turn you into a workaholic（工作狂）, it seems.A study suggests that, by giving you access to emails at all times, the smart phone adds as much as two hours to your working day. Researchers found that Britons work an additional 460 hours a year on average as they are able to respond to emails on their mobiles. The study shows the average UK working day is between 9 and 10 hours, but a further 2 hours is spent responding to or sending work emails, or making work calls. Almost one in ten admits spending up to three hours outside their normal working day checking work emails. Some workers confess they are on call almost 24 hours a day. Nearly two-thirds say they often check work emails just before they go to bed and as soon as they wake up, while over a third have replied to one in the middle of the night. The average time for first checking emails is between 6 am and 7 am, with more than a third checking their first email in this period, and a quarter checking them between 11pm and midnight.Ghadi Hobeika, marketing director of Pixmania, said: “The ability to access millions of apps has made smart phones invaluable for many people. However, there are disadvantages. Many companies expect their employees to be on call 24 hours a day, seven days a week, and smart phones mean that people cannot get away from work. The more constantly in contact we become, the more is expected of us in a work capacity.”12．With a smart phone the average UK working day is ________.A．2 hours B．8 hours C．9 to 10 hours D. 11 to 12 hours 13．It could be inferred from the text that the British people ________.A．prefer to check emails in the morningB．are crazy about different smart phonesC．work extra hours with smart phonesD．shorten their normal working hours14．What does Ghadi Hobeika feel about smart phones?A．They are unimportant for most of people.B．They have disadvantages for some companies.C．They are useful to improve a work ability.D．They make it impossible for people to rest.15．What can we conclude from the text?A．Every coin has two sides.B．All that glitters is not gold.C．It never rains but pours.D．It’s no good crying over spilt milk.第二部分：英语知识运用（共两节，满分30分）第一节完形填空（共20小题；每小题1分，共20分）My name is Jane Eyre and my parents died when I was a baby．For ten years I lived a__16___life with my aunt and cousins who treated me unfairly．My cousins teased me and my aunt never showed me any___17_.
