The best way of learning a language is 1 it. The best way of learning English is 2
in English as much as possible. Sometimes you'll get your words mixed up and people will not
understand you. Sometimes people will say things 3 and you can't understand them. But if
you 4 your sense of humor, you can always have a good laugh at the mistakes you make.
Don't be 5 if people 6 to be laughing at your mistakes. It's better for people 7 at

I first started playing the piano when I was three. My parents are musicians, so they were
both very encouraging. It was their dream, I think, to raise a child who could one day become a
world-class pianist. So they asked an expensive personal teacher to teach me, and I practiced
every day, sometimes for five or six hours at a time. Despite（尽管）the long hours and frustration
（挫折）, I did enjoy it, especially at first, and I was good. According to my parents and my
teacher, I was really excellent, and I was on the road to becoming a professional musician, just
like my mother and father.
The trouble was, my head really wasn't in it. My real interest was something quite
different—mathematics（maths）. Numbers were the things that really shone brightly in my mind.
I found more beauty in a mathematical equation（相等）, I told my parents, than in a piano sonata
（奏鸣曲）. So when I went to college, I chose to study mathematics, not music. Then I got a job,
working as an accountant.
Now I work with numbers every day. My parents couldn't understand, and even now I guess
they are still angry with me. They say I wasted a special gift. But I still believe what I did was
right for me.
1．It cost the writer's parents a lot to ________.
A．help him with his lessons
B．raise their son to be an excellent pianist
C．become professional musicians
D．practice playing the piano
2．At first what the writer did showed that ________.
A．he was hopeful in music
B．he hated playing the piano
C．he didn't have a gift for music
D．he liked mathematics better
3．The writer's parents felt very sorry for their son because they thought ________.
A．his heart wasn't really in music
B．they didn't like his job of an accountant
C．he wasted a special gift
D．he didn't realize his mistake
4．Which is the best title of this story?
A．Nobody Understood Me
B．The Road to My Career
C．My Parents' Dream
D．Don't Be Sorry for Me

Matt Mason has seen the future—and it's fun. Mason likes thinking about how machines can
make our lives easier by doing the work we hate, such as cleaning. He shows a hard floor
cleaning system（系统）that's built into the wall: it will blow dirt to a part of the room where it will
be collected by a vacuum（吸尘器）. Then the system will drop some cleaner on the floor and an
arm will mop（用拖把擦）it up. “This may trouble you,” says Kara, an expert in Mason's
company. “But you can program it to come on at 3 a. m., and it will just wet-mop the floor for
you.”
When it comes to the kitchen, Bruce Beihoff, another expert at Whirlpool, is sure that in a
few years, robots will be doing most of the boring work, freeing us to relax. “More than just fun,
future kitchens will be environmentally friendly,” he says. “A new system will be built in the
house which can recycle energy（能量）lost from your kitchen to make the whole home warm.”
“The fridge will be the center of the home,” says Daniel Lee, a market expert. The fridge
will have a touch screen（触摸屏幕）where you can watch TV, surf the Internet, check your e- mail,
keep a shopping list and order vegetables. “Your fridge is the first place you go in the morning
and the last place at night,” says Lee.
Ever wonder why a 1.9-meter man and a 1.6-meter woman have to cook meals on counters
（工作台）of the same height. “The height was decided over 50 years ago, according to the
height of ordinary women,” says Jane Langmuir, an expert of cooking machines. “But times
have changed. We have made a new counter where you press a button and it moves to whatever
height you want.” At the same time, Ted Selker at MIT's Counter lab has made the Dishmaker
which lets you make dishes and bowls out of plastics at home. After each meal, the dishes are
changed straight back into plastics.
1．How many inventions are mentioned in the passage?
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.
2．In future, if you want to clean your house, you will ________.
A．have a recycling system built in the wall
B．get up early to start your cleaning system
C．use your fridge to give orders to a cleaner
D．leave the work to a kind of cleaning machine
3．What is future kitchen work like?
A．Terrific and relaxing. B．Easy and interesting.
C．Enjoyable and exciting. D．Funny and amazing.
4．From the passage, we know ________.
A．people will have more and more time enjoying themselves
B．future kitchens can provide all the energy for our life every day
C．the fridge can be found in the center of a future house
D．people must be expert at computers to use these inventions

Mr. Klein told the class that a new student, Inez, would join them soon. He 1 that Inez
was deaf. She “talked” with others by using sign language. Mr. Klein knew sign language,
and he decided to teach 2 students so that they could also “talk” with Inez.
First, they learned to sign the letters. Some letters were hard to 3 . Other letters, such
as C, were easier because the shape（形状）of the hand was the same as the shape of the letter.
The 4 thing they learned was fingerspelling. They signed one letter after another to
spell a word. They 5 with two-letter words such as ‘at’ and ‘on’. Then they spelled 6
words.
Finally, Mr. Klein showed that 7 one sign could be used for a whole word. To make
the sign for the word fine, a person spreads out（张开）the fingers on one hand, 8 the thumb
（拇指）to the chest（前胸）, and moves the hand away from the chest. Signing is not just 9
with the hands. Expressions on the face are also 10 The students learned to sign a question
mark by using expressions on the face.
When Inez first entered the classroom, she looked 11 . But the students signed, “Good
morning, Inez.” She gave the class a big smile and signed back, “What a wonderful 12 !”

五、阅读与表达
阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
Jason Queally is one of the fastest men in the world on a bicycle. But do you really call the
thing in the picture a bicycle? Well, yes. Jason's human- powered（人力的）machine, with its two
wheels, is, of course, a bicycle.
Every year, a very important human-powered bicycle race is held in Nevada, USA. The
speed of the bike is measured（测定）for only 200 metres, but players take more than a kilometre
to get their bikes going fast. Jason Queally's fastest speed for the 200-metre race was 103.5
kilometres an hour.
At this year's race, Jason failed to reach the finishing line. He was speeding along at about
seventy kilometres an hour when he began to lose control（控制）of his bike. When he tried to
slow down, it began to smoke. Soon the inside of his bike was filled with smoke. He couldn't see,
and he couldn't breathe. At seventy kilometres an hour, a crash（撞击）could be very serious.
Jason was frightened, but he managed to stop the bike safely. He would repair his bicycle and try
another time to be the world's fastest man on a bike. Better luck next time, Jason.
Maybe you're surprised that these bikes go so quickly, but is it useful? It could be. Cars are
becoming more and more popular, and they are very safe, comfortable and easy to drive, but they
also pollute the air in our cities. Scientists and engineers are learning from fast racing bikes how
to make human-powered vehicles（车辆）that might be useful for daily travel.

Dear Li Ling,
These days Tom Cruise, the film star, always comes into my mind. I think of him night and
day. I just sit in my room and watch videos of his films again and again. I've written hundreds of
letters to him and sent e-mails to his fan club, but all I get back are only photos with his names on
them. I dream that some day I'll meet him and that he'll feel the same way about me. I don't want
to learn my lessons any more, and I'll have final exams next month. I'm thinking of running away
to Hollywood to meet him. Can you help me with the problem?
Yours,
Lucy

三、阅读理解
A
In 1608 an Englishman named Thomas Coryate visited Italy. He liked the country and wrote
down every interesting thing he found. But there was one thing which he found the most
interesting. In his diary Thomas wrote, “When the Italians eat meat, they use small forks. They
do not eat with their hands, because people do not always have clean hands.”
Before leaving for England, Thomas Coryate bought a few forks.
At home Thomas had a dinner party to show the invention to his friends. When the steak（牛
排）was brought out, he took out a fork and began to eat as they did in Italy.
Everybody looked at him in surprise. When he told his friends what the fork was, they all
wanted to take a good look at the strange thing. All his friends said that the Italians were very
strange people because the fork was not easy to use at all.
Thomas Coryate tried to prove（证明）that his friends were wrong. He said it was not nice to
eat meat with one's fingers because they were not always clean.
Everybody got angry at that. Did Mr. Coryate think that people in England always had dirty
hands? And weren't the ten fingers we had enough for us?
Thomas Coryate wanted to show that it was very easy to use the fork. But the first piece of
meat he took with the fork fell to the floor. His friends began to laugh and he had to take the fork
away.
People in England began to use forks only fifty years later.
1．Why did Thomas Coryate bring forks to England?
A．He wanted to surprise his friends.
B．He believed that it was not nice to eat meat with fingers.
C．Forks were beautiful.
D．He wanted to make business selling forks.
2．Why did everybody look at Thomas when he began to eat like the Italians?
A．They believed that was bad manners.
B．Nobody ate meat with hands in England.
C．Everybody thought it was an amazing invention.
D．Nobody had seen a fork before.
3．People were ________ when Thomas said that they shouldn't eat meat with their fingers.
A．unhappy B．sorry C．sad D．worried
4．The first piece of meat fell to the floor when Thomas took it with the fork because ________.
A．the fork was very difficult to use B．the fork was bad
C．Thomas could not use it quite well D．the steak was too hard

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself”（DIY）trend（趋势）in the U.S.
continues to grow.
“We needed furniture（家具）for our living room,” says John Ross, “and we just didn't
have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got
married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are trying to make a home at
a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week lesson for $ 280 at a night
school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a
shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. “I was surprised and
worried about it. Now I've finished a car repair class, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they
can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a
“do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don't have time to take a lesson,
there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
1．We can learn from the text that many newly married people ________.
A．find it hard to pay for what they need
B．have to learn to make their own furniture
C．have DIY lessons with their friends
D．never go to a store to buy things

D．keeps house and looks after his children

B．You Can Do it Too!
C．Welcome to Our DIY Class!
D．John and Jim: Believers in DIY

Sometimes, people are not clear about what kind of food is healthy, and what kind of food
may do harm to our health. The USDA has prepared a food guide to help people learn about
which kind of food is the healthiest to eat. The food guide describes six main food groups: meat
（like fish and chicken）, dairy（like milk and cheese）, grains（like bread and rice）, fruit, and
vegetables. The last group is fats and sweets. The USDA also suggests（建议）how much of each
food group is healthy to eat daily. Though this guide was prepared by the US government, it is
very useful for people all over the world.
As a result of years of study, we know that too much animal fat is bad for our health. For
example, Americans eat a lot of meat and only a small amount（量）of grains, fruit and vegetables.
Because of the way they eat, they have a high rate（率）of cancer（癌症）and heart disease. In
Japan, people eat large amounts of grains and very little meat. The Japanese also have a very low
rate of cancer and heart disease. The Japanese live longer than anyone else in the world. However,
when Japanese people move to the US, the rate of heart disease and cancer goes up as their eating
habit changes. And as hamburgers, ice creams and other high-fat foods become popular in Japan,
the rate of heart disease and cancer is going up there as well. People are also eating more meat
and dairy food in other countries, in which the disease rate is going up along with the change of
the way people eat. Doctors everywhere suggest people eat more grains, fruit and vegetables and
less meat and dairy food.
Eating healthily is important for children as well as their parents. When parents have poor
eating habits, their children usually do, too. After all, children eat the same way as their parents.
When parents eat healthy food, the children will learn to enjoy it, too. Then they will develop
good eating habits. Doctors suggest parents give their children healthier food such as fruit,
vegetables and juice.
Everyone wants to live a long, healthy life. We know that the food we eat affects（影响）us in
different ways. For example, doctors believe that fruit and vegetables can really protect people
from many different diseases. On the other hand, animal fat can cause（引起）diseases. We can
change our eating habits now and enjoy many years of healthy living.
1．What is the USDA in the passage?
A．A group of doctors in the US.
B．An office of the US government.
C．A report on diseases in the US.
D．An order given by the US president.
2．The second paragraph mainly tells us that ________.
A．Japanese are always healthier than Americans
B．living in the US is not good for people's health
C．if you eat too much fat you will have cancer
D．the way we eat may cause some health problems ________.
3．Which of the following is true according to the passage?
A．More and more people have good eating habits now.
B．Parents' eating habits are important to their children.
C．Good eating habits develop only when you are young.
D．The more fruit and vegetables we eat, the longer we will live.
4．The greatest help the passage gives us is ________.
A．to introduce a food guide to the world
B．to provide us with knowledge of six food groups
C．to suggest a way of eating for a healthy life
D．to find the main cause of some serious diseases

Nobody knows when or where kite flying began, but there are some stories about the history
of kites. Early kites may have been simple flat shapes such as leaves. Later, kite designs
improved as people discovered how to put lightweight coverings over frames. Silk and paper are
lightweight materials that were invented in China. China is the earliest known center of kite
making. Chinese kites date back（追溯）at least 2,000 years.
The first Chinese kites may have been used by armies, perhaps as signals. As time passed,
kites took on other uses. They were flown during special ceremonies and for sport. Then there
were kite-flying holidays, such as the one held on the ninth day of the ninth month. According to
legend（传说）, that was the day a family went kite-flying on a hilltop. Returning to their house,
they saw that it had collapsed（倒塌）. Kite-flying had saved their lives!
After a while, travelers and traders spread kite-flying from China to Japan. Before long,
Japanese kite-flying took on a new purpose. Kites flew to celebrate happy things and good luck.
Soon, kite-flying reached many other Asian countries. In each land, kites were designed for
ceremonies and sport.
Later, knowledge of kites traveled west, to northern Africa, to Europe, and finally to America.
There may have been early kite inventors in these lands, but their creations did not spread as
widely as the kites of Asia.

These strategies（策略）will help you learn how to take tests and show what you know.
MULTIPLE-CHOICE（选择题）TEST
Mark the best answer from a list of choices for a multiple-choice test.
1．Read Test Directions（说明）Carefully. Directions tell what you need to do. Words like best,
always, only, all, and never will help you find the correct answer. Sentences with those words
are usually not true.
2．Plan Your Time. Pass over hard questions. If you have time, you can go back to them later.
3．Read Items（题干）Again. If you are not sure about an answer, read the item again. Think about
all the answer choices. Which one seems best?
SHORT-ANSWER TEST
In a short-answer test, write a word, a group of words, or a sentence to answer a question. Look
for key words like who or what that tell you what to write in the answer.
PASSAGE-WRITING TEST
For a passage-writing test, write one or more paragraphs to answer one question.
1．Study the Item and Key Words. Read the question twice or more. Look for key words that tell
you exactly what to do. You might see prompts（提示）like these:
2．Plan Your Answer. Think about the key words and the topic. Write everything you know about
the topic on a piece of your own paper. This can help you organize（组织）your writing.
3．Write the Passage. Use the words in the prompts to write a beginning. Then use what you
know about the topic to write your passage.
·Write a topic sentence for each paragraph.
·Write the important information in the body.

C
We do some strange things when we don't like the way our life is going. Too often we blame
（埋怨）someone else.
“I wish my parents were more understanding.”
“I have such a bad Chemistry teacher!”
“My friends are so boring and self-centred. They make my life worse and worse.”
Blame! Blame! Blame!
It seems natural to sing this self-pitying song, but the truth is, if you don't like your life, you
should do something about it. No one else knows exactly how you feel or what you need. No one
can read your mind correctly. You are the only one with the power（能力）to check your life, and
if you want it to be different, you can change what you're doing. This means asking... “What
do I need? What do I want to do?” instead of trying to meet others' needs. For example, try to
decide how you want to spend your evening instead of asking somebody else for advice. We teach
other people how we want to be treated. If we don't think of our own needs, no one else will
either.
When you're in trouble, don't give away your power to decide how you feel about yourself.
Choose how you want to think and act（行动）. Other people can't make you unhappy or angry.
They only act in their own way and then it's up to you to decide how you will respond（回应）. For
example, your friends go out to lunch without you. You feel angry. How are you going to act?
You may blame your friends... “They're not kind. Who needs them anyway?” or you may tell
your friends how you feel, listen to their explanation（解释）, and let them know you'd like to be
invited next time.
When you decide everything in your own way, you're getting hold of your own life and
shaping it according to your tastes and feelings. You can choose to be happy, to make friends and
to build an interesting life. When you blame others for what is or isn't happening in your life, you
have stopped growing or learning.
One of the most important rules is that you can never change another person by your direct
action. The only person you have the right and power to change is yourself. Once you change,
the other person then has something different to respond to and change is possible. If you want
change in your life, begin with yourself...put love into your power to take action.
1．What should we do if we don't like our life?
A．Sing that self-pitying song. B．Read our minds correctly.
C．Change what we're doing. D．Tell others what we want.
2．If the writer's friends have dinner together without him, he may ________.
A．forget it and be still friendly with them B．talk to them and try to find out why
C．do the same thing to them in return D．ask somebody else to talk to them
3．What's the writer's idea about how to change others?
A．He thinks it's impossible to change others.
B．He believes our love can change everything.
C．He chooses to talk with others directly.
D．He prefers to change ourselves first instead.
4．How many points of view（观点）are mentioned in the passage?
A．Three. B．Four. C．Five. D．Six.

homework, and arguing with my 6 a lot. And if they tried to talk with me about what was
wrong, I'd tell them they didn't understand me. 7 I didn't feel that the children I stayed with
understood me either. Most of them 8 listened to music all the time and didn't talk much.”
“I was really going downhill until an old friend visited me from Toronto—we were the best

It's Saturday morning and Tony's sitting at the kitchen table, staring（凝视）into space and
playing with a piece of bread. He's not even hungry. Is he ill? No, but he does have a problem.
He has nothing to do and there's a simple reason: the Internet is down and Tony has nothing to do.
When he woke up this morning, Tony was feeling great. He jumped out of bed full of plans
for the weekend ahead. It would be a weekend like any other—a great weekend. But that was
before he turned on his computer and was unable to go online. No Internet changed everything.
Just as Tony is wondering how he can possibly have a normal（平常的）weekend without the
Internet, his mum walks into the kitchen. “Is everything OK?” she asks. “No, mum,
everything is definitely（的确）not OK,” her sad son replies. “I can't go online and I have
homework to finish.” His mum laughs, “The word program is still working, so what's the
problem?”
What's the problem? Tony can't believe his own mother is unable to see how serious the
problem really is. To start with, he still needs to do research for his homework. He knows his
mum will tell him to go to the library but he hates the library. It's so dark and uncomfortable.
And forget homework—what about the rest of his weekend! Every weekend, he goes online to
email friends. Then he reads the news to catch up on what's happening in the world. He plays a
few online games and finishes the weekend off with an online chess game with his cousin Helen.
The wonderful weekend-online! Now it's Saturday morning and he's not going to have access to

A washing machine helps us to wash clothes. A printing machine helps us to 4 a
lot of books, newspapers, magazines and many 5 things quickly.
Bicycles, cars, trains and planes are all 6 , too. They help us to travel faster than on
foot.
The computer is a wonderful machine. It was 7 not long ago. It not only stores
information but also numbers millions of times as 8 as a scientist does.
Let's study hard and try to use all 9 of machines. I think we can build China into a
10 country in the future.

My First Job
I was six when I joined my father and two elder brothers at sunrise in the fields of Eufaula,
Okla. 1 the time I was eight, I was helping dad fix up old furniture. He gave me a cent for
every nail I 2 out of old boards.
I got my first 3 job at JM's Restaurant in town when I was 12. My main
responsibilities were 4 tables and washing dishes, but sometimes I helped cook.
Every day after school I would 5 to JM's and work until ten. Even on Saturdays I 6
from two until eleven. At that age it was difficult going to work and 7 my friends run off to
swim or play. I didn't necessarily like work, but I loved what working allowed me to have.
Because of my 8 I was always the one buying when my friends and I went to the local
Tastee Freez. This made me 9 .
Word that I was trustworthy and hard-working got around the town. A local clothing store
offered me credit 10 I was only in the seventh grade. I immediately charged a $ 68 sports
coat and a $ 22 pair of shoes. I was making only 65 cents an hour, and I already owed the
storekeeper $ 90! So I learned early the danger of easy credit. I paid it 11 as soon as I
could.
My first job taught me self-control, responsibility and brought me a level of personal
satisfaction few of my friends had experienced. As my father, who worked three jobs, once told
me, “If you 12 sacrifice（奉献）and responsibility, there are not many things in life you
can't have.” How right he was!

Do You Go To Sleep In Class?
The “Acronym”, our student newspaper, reports that most students go to sleep at 1: 30 a.
m. Even if that's an exaggeration（夸张）, it's too close to the truth. Scientists say teenagers
should sleep nine hours each night. But that's hard to do.
Some even “pull all-nighters”. These are lazy students who have homework due（到期）
the next day that they haven't done. In the morning they don't look healthy and you can tell who
has been doing it.
One of my classmates did a survey（调查）on the problem. She found that most kids pull
all-nighters to finish homework, but some do it for other reasons, such as playing computer
games!
Maybe our lack of sleep is because of laziness—I think I'm a lazy student—or maybe it's
because we have too much to do in American high schools.
I usually go to bed around midnight. If I stayed up past 1: 30 a. m., I wouldn't get any work
done. I'd be falling asleep at my computer. My classes begin at 7:30 a.m. I'm partly awake in
my first class. By the second, I'm slightly tired and sleepy. By my third class, I'm sleepy. By
midday I'm finally wide-awake. But by 3: 00 p. m., I'm slowing down again.
Most American high schools seem to have such a problem.
High school classes start at 7: 30 a. m., so students have to wake up one and a half hours
before that to get ready and catch the bus. It's believed that lack of sleep can damage both grades
and health.
Some schools are paying attention. Classes in those schools start at 8:30 a. m.
1．What's the problem talked about in the passage?
A．Many kids have too much homework to do.
B．Many teenagers don't have enough sleep.
C．Many children are crazy about playing computer games.
D．Many kids are too lazy to finish their homework on time.
2．The underlined expression “pull all-nighters” most probably means ________.
A．开夜车 B．上夜班 C．睡懒觉 D．补作业
3．Which of the following is NOT a reason mentioned in the passage?
A．Laziness. B．Homework.
C．Housework. D．Computer games.
4．What's the idea suggested at the end of the passage?
A．Later start of classes. B．Less homework.
C．Going to bed early. D．Eating healthy food.

Will Chips One Day Be Planted In Our Bodies For Identification?
A US doctor has planted under his skin a computer chip（芯片）that can send personal
information to a scanner（扫描仪）. It's a technology that may someday be widely used as a way
to identify（识别）people. The chip gives off information which will be scanned by a hand-held
reader.
The chip is similar to that planted in more than 1 million dogs, cats and other pets in recent
years to track（跟踪）and identify them.
The doctor decided to test the chip himself after the World Trade Center disaster（灾难）. The
dead could have been identified if their names and other important information had been chipped.
Officials of the company said they hope to sell the chips to patients with man-made arms or
legs or other body parts. The idea is that the chip will provide immediate and correct medical
information when it is needed.
The information can contain（包括）name, telephone number and other information. Or it can
send out a message that, when connected to a computer, can call up records. The scanner can read
it through clothes from over a meter away. The new product also could be used to control
prisoners. Workplaces of great importance may want to use the chips for employees, too. Some
parents may consider planting chips in young children or elderly relatives who may be unable to
say their names, addresses or telephone numbers.
Some medical and technology specialists（专家）said the product raises new questions about
the relationship between humans and computer technology and could cause problems if it is used
against someone's wishes, or if your personal information is read by those who should not see it.
1．According to the passage, computer chips have already been used to ________.
A．catch escaped prisoners B．find missing children
C．follow lost animals D．treat sick people
2．The doctor decided to test the chips himself because he believed that ________.
A．nobody would dare to try it
B．they can be used for identification purposes（目的）
C．it has been proved successful on animals
D．his patients expected him to experience it first
3．Which of the following statements is best supported by the text?
A．This chip has been proved to be very successful.
B．The use of this chip will be favored by everybody.
C．There will be a great market for chip planting in humans.
D．Doctors will make good money by using chips.
4．What problem may be caused by planting chips in the human body?
A．People will be controlled by computers.
B．Computers could send out wrong information.
C．Chips can be the cause of diseases.
D．Information may be used improperly.

Geography is the study of Earth and its climates. Scientists use it to study global（全球的）
warming and track（跟踪）the weather. Governments use it to learn where people live and work
and to plan what to do with the land. It is now easier than ever to use geography because of a
science called space technology.
The United States launched its first satellite in 1958. Some space missions （使命）that
followed were geographical studies. In fact, earth science is a big part of the work of the National
Aeronautics and Space Administration（NASA）.
Astronauts looked out of the space shuttle（航天飞机）. They decided to take photographs of
Earth from their vantage point. Over the years, picture quality improved. Shuttle photography
now shows land features, such as rivers. It can even show the streets of large cities. Photos of the
same places at different times show how the land is changing.
NASA does not use just photographs, though. In 1958 it launched TIROS（the Television
Infrared Observation Satellite）. This first use of a satellite to study Earth was effective（有效的）
in giving weather forecasts. It led to the creation of new space tools to use in geography.
The Landsat Program began in 1972. This satellite sent detailed（细致的）views of Earth
from space. The pictures were so precise（精确）that scientists could count the number and kinds
of crops in a field. Landsat showed where Earth's surface had faults along which earthquakes
might happen. This information helped in the planning of new cities and factories. Landsat also
made discoveries. In Antarctica it located ranges of unknown mountains. It pinpointed small
lakes. in Virginia that were not on maps. Landsat, now more advanced, still flies today.
Another space tool is Earth Observing-1（EO-1）. This spacecraft flies right behind Landsat.
It takes pictures of the same sites. The two sets of pictures, viewed together, show how cities
grow and how other places, such as rain forests, become smaller over time. This helps scientists
learn how people affect（影响）geography.
One of the newest space tools is the Geographical Information Systems （GIS）. GIS is
computer software that helps scientists to study Earth. GIS is different from earlier space tools.
Businesses, schools, and even average people——not just the government——can use it to show
them how changes in the planet might affect them.
1．Why do governments study geography according to the passage?
A．To improve the environment. B．To make the land use plan.
C．To make new discoveries. D．To count the crops in a field.
2．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The U.S. satellite program began in 1972.
B．Landsat was able to take pictures of other planets.
C．TIROS was successful in giving weather forecasts.
D．GIS can only be used by the government.
3．EO-1 takes photographs of the same places as Landsat because ________.
A．the two groups of pictures can show the changes of Earth
B．EO-1 is practicing for future photography missions
C．Landsat is out of date and new pictures are needed
D．Landsat can't send detailed views of Earth from space
4．From the passage, we can infer that ________.
A．GIS is the newest computer to study Earth
B．NASA only depends on photos to study Earth
C．satellite pictures can give more detailed information
D．recent U. S. satellites are as advanced as the old ones

Eating in space is different from eating on Earth. The food that astronauts carry with them
does not look like the food you eat.
Some food is carried in closed bags. It is cooked and frozen（冷冻）before the astronauts get
it. All the water is removed from the food. In the spaceship, the astronaut puts the water back.
He “shoots” hot or cold water into the food bag with a special gun. He eats the food through a
small hole in the bag. Other foods come in bite sizes. The astronaut puts a whole piece in his
mouth at once. There can be no crumbs（碎屑）. Crumbs would float（漂浮）around the spaceship
and get in the way. Meat and cake often come in bite-size pieces.
Astronauts cannot drink water from open cups. The water would float in drops in the air.
The water is put in the special gun. The astronaut shoots the water into his mouth.
Eating in space is not easy. Astronauts must learn to eat in their way.
1．What is the food carried in closed bags by astronauts like?
___________________________________________________________________
2．How do the astronauts eat food in space?
___________________________________________________________________
3．How do the astronauts drink water in space?

I think life will be very different in a hundred years' time. Some things will be better and
some things will be worse.

Washington D.C. is the capital of the United States. It's the center of national government.
It's a busy, working city with a large population. But what is more, Washington is also a city of
history and culture.
Washington was created in 1790, when Congress（the highest law-making body of the USA）
decided to place the nation's new capital in the east of the country. It was built half-way between
the northern and southern states of America. And of course it was named after George
Washington, the first President of the United States.
There are many tourist sights in Washington. Perhaps the most important tourist sight is the
Capital Building. This house is the Congress.
Another world-famous building in Washington is the White House. This is the home and
office of the President of the United States. Most visitors are, however, surprised by how small
the White House actually is.
Washington is also a great culture city. The Library of Congress contains one of the largest
library collections in the world. The Smithsonian Museum holds the nation's largest collection of
cultural materials. And the John F. Kennedy Center is a famous center of art and culture. There
are many great musical and theatre performances throughout the year.
1．The writer mainly talks about ________.
A．Washington B．the history of Washington

While it is expected that students come to university with the ability to take a good set of
notes, this is not always the case（情形）. High school may not have asked for it, so good listening
and note-taking skills may need to be developed.
TRY Being a possible, active listener.
HOW?
Sit down in front and do not read or talk. Pay special attention during the second 20
minutes（when you probably lose it）and to the last minute when a summary （总
结）might be given.
TRY Being a confident, active learner.
HOW?
Come to class with an interest in the material（材料）and with questions to be
answered. You can develop these by thinking about and preparing for the lesson and
by pre-reading the text （ This is especially helpful if you find yourself haying
difficulties keeping up with the material）.
TRY Getting correct notes, with special attention to the main ideas.
HOW?
There may be an overhead projector（投影仪）; if so, get that material down.
Besides, look for important points from the teacher’s verbal（文字）language, or
careful reading of his notes. If you still feel you’re missing the main points, try
showing your notes to classmates or to the teacher.
TRY Leaving lots of space between ideas.
WHY?
Because you want to continue to add notes in your own words; this will help you
learn the material on a deeper level by integrating（整合）it with what you already
know. Also, more space will make it easier for you to find material when you are
studying.
TRY Going over new notes—10 minutes for each class—within 24 hours.
WHY? Because you lose 50％—80％ of the material if you don't.
TRY Setting your notes up so you can study effectively（有效地）from them.
HOW?
Leave wide left space at the side of page; here you will write questions from which
to study your notes．Leave the back of the page empty, so you can fold （折） the
page, cover the notes and answer the questions when studying.
1．During a listening lesson, ________.
A．students prefer to talk to each other
B．most students might be absent -minded
C．the students might lose interest after 20 minutes
D．students don't have to pay attention to the last part of the lesson
2．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．You should learn to go over your lessons often.
B．Taking notes in class can help you master the main idea better.
C．Pre-reading what you read might help you understand the material better.
D．The writer is not quite satisfied with high school education.
3．The article is probably written for ________.
A．high school students B．English teachers
C．university students D．grown-ups
4．The best topic for the passage should be ________.
A．How to Learn English Well B．How to Be a Confident Learner
C．Being an Active Listener D．Listening and Note-taking skills

Jan Mela isn't like most kids. Two years ago, he lost an arm and a leg. But that didn't stop
him.
On Saturday, the 15-year-old boy from Poland walked to the North Pole without any help.
“If I can do it, other people can do great things, too.” Mela said before he went.
Polish newspapers said Mela was the youngest person and the first handicapped（残疾的）
person to walk to the North Pole.
How did Mela lose an arm and a leg? He had an electrical accident. Now he walks with the

The earth is our home; we must take care of it. This means keeping the land, air and water
clean.
Pollution is a dirty word. To pollute means to make things unfit or unclean to use. Pollution
comes in many ways. We see it, smell it, taste it and drink it. Pollution is beginning to threaten
（威胁）our health, our happiness and our life.
Man has been polluting the earth from the time he first made fire, washed his clothes in the
river and threw his waste on the ground. When land was used up or water became dirty, men
moved on to another place. At first, the problem was not so serious because there was plenty of
clean air, land and water. There weren't so many people then and their wants were fewer. All the
dirty things could be absorbed（吸收）by nature and soon covered over. But this is no longer true.
The increase of population and the development of industry（工业）have changed that. Man is
slowly poisoning（毒害）his environment.
Through the use of poison, man has polluted the land, killing the animals. By putting dirty
water and chemicals into rivers and lakes we have polluted our drinking water, killing the fish.
Our increasing population is part of the problem. More people, more waste.
Where is this all to end? Are we turning the world into a big rubbish dump（堆存处）, or is
there any hope that we can get rid of（摆脱, 除去）the pollution? Luckily, millions of people have
been warned of the danger of pollution. Large numbers of people are now working hard to bring
pollution under control.
1．Which of the following sentences is NOT true according to the passage?
A．We live on the earth, so we should look after it.
B．To pollute means to make air, water and land unfit for use.
C．All the waste produced by modern industry can be absorbed.
D．Man is now fighting against different kinds of pollution.
2．In this passage the word “chemicals” means ________.
A．化学 B．化学物质 C．化学的 D．医学的
3．Through the uncontrolled use of poison man has ________.
A．made the drinking water dirty
B．polluted the land
C．killed the animals
D．all of the above
4．From the sentences “More people, more waste”, we know that ________.
A．because of the increase of population and the development of industry, more and more
waste is produced
B．we need more people, not more waste
C．there isn't any hope that we can get rid of the pollution
D．more people have been warned of the danger of more waste
5．From the passage we can know that now man ________.
A．doesn't know how to control pollution
B．still doesn't realize how serious pollution is
C．is doing something to control pollution
D．begins to understand the pollution

Imagine that you are the first person ever to see Hawaii. What would be the first thing you
would set foot on?
The beach, naturally. There are hundreds of miles of beaches on the twenty islands of
Hawaii. These is lands cover 1, 600 miles and are about 2, 300 miles west of California. Most of
them are covered with fine white sand. They are thought to be among the finest beaches in the
world.
Another wonderful thing about the beaches of Hawaii is the water temperature. The
year-round average（平均）temperature of the water at the famous Waikiki Beach is 23℃!
The same is true of air temperature. In fact, there are no real seasons in Hawaii. There is a
difference of only two or three degrees between the hottest day of summer and the coldest day of
winter. That's why the Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language.
Perhaps the nicest thing about Hawaiian beaches are the waves. The earliest settlers（定居
者）in Hawaii, the Polynesians, quickly learned how much fun it was to ride the waves. They
developed a sport which is now very popular on the islands called body surfing. You go out into
the ocean, wait for a big wave to come towards you, jump on it, and ride it all the way to the
beach.
Now imagine once again that you are the first person ever to set foot in Hawaii. What do you
think would be the second beautiful thing you would notice?
Would it be those strange triangles（三角形状物）rising out of the water hundreds and
hundreds of meters high? What are those beautiful things? They are volcanoes（火山）, of course.
These volcanoes are not just a part of the islands. They made the islands at first. Because of them
the islands are still growing.
The most famous volcano on Hawaii is Mauna Loa. It is the world's most active volcano. It
has been erupting（喷发）for thousands of years. Even when it isn't erupting, smoke comes out of
the earth from a thousand little holes.
In 1950 Mauna Loa erupted for twenty-three days. That erupting produced the greatest
amount of lava（熔岩）in modern history. In 1960 it erupted again. That time it added a kilometer
of beach to the island. Because Mauna Loa has erupted so often, it has become the biggest（but
not the tallest）mountain in the world.
These volcanoes could be dangerous to the population of Hawaii. In fact, Hilo, the second
largest city in Hawaii, is built just under Mauna Loa. The volcano could erupt at any time. Most
people believe that it will erupt sometime in the next twenty-five years. But the people of Hilo do
not seem worried. They live with the banger as part of their lives.
1．According to the passage, what are the two most beautiful things in Hawaii?
A．Waves and cities. C．Beaches and language.
B．Volcanoes and beaches. D．Volcanoes and people.
2．Which is NOT the reason why the Hawaiians don't have a word for weather in their language?
A．There are no real seasons in Hawaii.
B．The temperature of the water at one of the beaches is always 23℃.
C．The Hawaiians feel almost the same in the hottest day and coldest day.
D．There is not much difference in air temperature all the year round in Hawaii.
3．What should be the meaning of “body surfing”?
A．Riding waves. B．Body-building.
C．Sea bathing. D．Jumping into the sea.
4．It can be inferred that ________ according to the passage.
A．volcanoes are more active because the area of the island is enlarging
B．the visitors to Hawaii can probably see more than one active volcano
C．Mauna Loa is the tallest mountain in the world because it has erupted so often
D．people in Hilo are sure that more visitors will come because of volcanoes
七、阅读与表达
Each year, a half-million people die from smoking in China which in 1990 overtook the
United States in the number of such deaths. And by the year 2025, 2 million Chinese will die each
year from smoking and related diseases, Professor Wang said when he talked about a report from
the World Health Organization.
With westerners increasingly（日益）dropping the habit, the smoking population in China is
on a constant increase. “In 1964 the smoking population in America was 54 percent, which
dropped to 26 percent by the year 1996,” Wang said smoking has become a popular game,
especially among young people and women. Wang pointed out that women are more and more the
targets（目标）of tobacco selling. “As China sees repaid changes in women's role（角色）,
smoking among women is increasing, with most new smokers being educated women.”
Wang said that in countries such as the United States and Britain where female smoking was
popular long ago, there were more lung cancers caused by smoking than breast cancers（乳腺癌）,
becoming the largest cancer-killer of women.
“At present only some 8 percent of Chinese women smoke, which has kept the total
smoking population below 40 percent. If women in China insist on demanding the same rights as
men, the figure will at least double in the present one.” Wang said.
1．What does the underlined word “overtook” mean in the first paragraph?
____________________________________________________________________
2．Why is smoking among women increasing?

3．Why do more Americans give up smoking?

Street Markets Around the World
There are many ways of shopping. You can shop by telephone, by post or through your home
computer, but for many people, the most exciting way to shop is also the most traditional—at a
street market. You can find markets anywhere in the world. Here are four of them:
There are many “floating markets” in Asia; perhaps the most unusual is in Thailand, at a
place called Dannoen Saduak. It's open from six in the morning to the noon every day. People
sell fresh fruit from their boats.
Many Belgians say that the Grand Place is the most beautiful square in the world. It is the
home of a colorful flower market. It's open every day except Monday. On Monday, instead of
flowers, there's a wonderful bird market!
One of the world's most famous markets is in Mexico City the Sonora Market. You can buy
toys, birds, herbs and medicines. There are all kinds of things. It's open every day from early in
the morning till late at night.
In England, every weekend thousands of young people from all over London travel to the
Camden Market—it's the place to go for street fashion, CDs and tapes. Many people also go there
for fun.

of the earth. Australia is big, but its population is small. The population of Australia is nearly as
large as that of Shanghai.
Enough laws have been made to fight against pollution. The cities in Australia have got little
air or water pollution. The sky is blue and the water is clean. You can clearly see fish swimming
in the rivers. Plants grow very well.
Last month we visited Perth, the biggest city in Western Australia, and went to a wild flowers'
exhibition. There we saw a large number of wild flowers we had never seen before. We had a
wonderful time. Perth is famous for its beautiful wild flowers. In spring every year Perth has the
wild flowers' exhibition. After visiting Perth, we spent a day in the countryside. We sat down and
had a rest near a path at the foot of a hill. It was quiet and we enjoyed ourselves. Suddenly we
heard bells ringing at the top of the hill. What we saw made us pick up all our things and run back
to the car as quickly as we could. There were about three hundred sheep coming towards us down
the path.
Australia is famous for its sheep and kangaroos. After a short drive from any town, you will
find yourself in the middle of white sheep. Sheep, sheep, everywhere are sheep.

Does reading really matter?
Some people say that today, reading is not as important as it was. These days we have
photographs, films, radio and television. Why read a description of something when you can look
at a photograph? Why read a newspaper when the latest news is brought to us every hour on radio
and TV?
Photography was certainly a wonderful invention. Photographs can give a very clear idea of
places and of people that we have never seen. An encyclopedia（百科全书）, for example, is
always better when it has good illustrations. But we also need words to explain the photographs
and drawings. A photograph of an elephant may give us a very good idea of what an elephant
looks like, but it tells us nothing about the different sorts of elephants there are and where they are
found, their exact size and weight, how they can be useful to man and so on.
In the same way, a good film has action, movement, color, and maybe music. These are
things we do not find on the printed page. But reading a novel has certain advantages over
watching even an excellent feature film. Reading a novel requires imagination. Each of us
imagines a story differently.
Watching news on television can certainly be exciting. But we need newspapers as well.
Some important news stories happen when there are no cameras around. More importantly, a
newspaper does not just report the news. It explains why something has been happening. It also
contains interesting articles on different subjects. Newspapers are an important part of our lives, if
we want to understand what is going on in the places we live as well as in other parts of the
world.
Reading is very important for information and pleasure. We need to be good readers to enjoy
a full life as human beings. Reading is a skill and like other skills, it needs practice. The more we
read, the better readers we become. And the better readers we become, the more we enjoy reading!
The secret is to get the reading habit. Read at least a little every day.
1．What does the author think photographs can give us?
A．Enough information about people and places.
B．No information about things.
C．Some information about things but not enough.
D．The wrong information about things.
2．What does the author think newspapers can give us?
A．More information than television.
B．Less information than television.
C．More news from other countries.
D．Less information about important events than TV.
3．What does the “illustrations” mean?
A．Inventions. B．Pictures C．Words. D．Ideas
4．What are the advantages of novel over a feature film?
A．There are more interesting subjects in novels.
B．We do not hear any music in a novel.
C．Novels always explain what is happening.
D．Novels make us use our imagination.
5．What does the author think about reading?
A．It is a wonderful invention.
B．It is an important part of our lives.
C．It requires no practices.
D．It is not as important as television.

Moving out, Moving back
In the countries all over the world, people are leaving the countryside in large numbers to
find jobs in the cities. They leave because the countryside is much poorer than the city, and often
there isn't much work there. Services such as hospital and transport are usually much better in
cities than in the countryside. People hope that their lives will improve when they move to the
city.
But in the big cities of Europe and America—London, Pairs, New York, people are moving
out of the city. These are usually families who have some money and want to live a quieter life.
They are tired of the noise and the dirt of the city, tired of the crowded streets, trains and buses.
They don't want to sit in traffic any more. They want a house with a garden, and clean air that
isn't polluted. So they move out. Some don't go very far, just a little way out of the city, to the
town near the cities, and other people move to the real countryside with sheep, cows and green
fields! There, they start new lives and try to make new friends.
Not all those who move from the city to the countryside are happy. After two or three years,
many people who have done this feel that it was a big mistake. They don't make so much money
and there isn't much to do. Country people are very different and aren't always very friendly.
As a result, quite a lot of people who have moved to the countryside move back to the city.
“It's wonderful to see crowds in the streets and cinema lights.” they say, “I'm so glad I'm back
in the city!”

From Monday to Friday most people are busy working or studying, but in the evenings and at
weekends they are free and 1 themselves. Some watch television or go to the movies, others
take part in sports. This is decided by their own 2 .
There are many different ways to spend our free time. Almost everyone has some kind of
3 . It may be something from colleting stamps to 4 model planes. Some hobbies are very
expensive, but others don't cost anything at all. Some collections are worth 5 of money,
others are valuable only to their owners.
I know a man who has a coin collection worth several 6 dollars. A short time ago he
bought a rare fifty-cent piece which cost him $ 250! He was very happy about this collection and
thought the price was all right. On the other hand, my youngest brother collects match boxes. He
has almost 600 kinds of them, but I wonder 7 they are worth any money. However, to my
brother they are quite valuable. 8 makes him happier than to find a new match box for his
collection.
That's what a hobby means, I think. It is something we 9 to do in our free time just for
the fun of it. The value in dollars is not 10 , but the pleasure it gives us is.

六、阅读理解
A
Do you know why different animals or pests have their special colours? Colours in them
seem to be used mainly to protect themselves.
Some birds like eating locusts, but birds cannot easily catch them. Why? It is because locusts
change their colours together with the change of the colours of crops. When crops are green,
locusts look green. But as the harvest time comes, locusts change to the same brown colour as
crops have. Some other pests with different colours from plants are easily found and eaten by
others. So they have to hide themselves for lives and appear only at night.
If you study the animal life, you'll find the main use of colouring is protecting themselves.
Bears, lions and other animals move quietly through forests. They cannot be seen by hunters.
This is because they have the colours much like the trees.
Have you ever noticed an even more strange act? A kind of fish in the sea can send out a kind
of very black liquid when it faces danger. While the liquid spread over, the enemies cannot find it.
And it immediately swims away. So it has lived up to now though it isn't strong at all.

A．are small animals

Hi, my name is Christina Baum. I'm a fourteen-year-old German students. I'm writing to tell
you about an experiment we are doing at school with our Science teacher. At the beginning of this
school year, Frau Keller showed us films and we read articles about problems in the environment.
One day she said: “I want to know what you think. Please don't tell me what we should do or
must do. Tell me what each of you will do to protect the environment.”
She asked us to choose a topic, make a weekly plan and tell the class about it. Then we had
to do things to be “green” and write a report about our achievements. Some students said that
they thought it was impossible for a single person to contribute to the protection of the
environment. Someone else said that scientists should work harder to find new ways to produce
energy.
Frau Keller said that it is everyone's job to care for the health of the planet. After the first
week everybody in class was excited about the project and wanted to continue to improve their
results. Someone suggested telling the other classes in the school. Now all 768 students at
Hermann Stein School are working on the project. At the end of the year, our class will write a
report about what we have achieved.
Next week I'll think about how not to waste water or make it dirty. I'm planning to try and
use less water every day, and also not use so much of the things that make it dirty. Every time I
turn on the tap I must think about how much water and soap I use.
To use less water, this is what I'll do:
—take a shower instead of baths;
—turn off the tap while brushing my teeth;
—use less washing-up liquid when washing dishes.
If you want to know more or join us, please write an email to the following address:
k.keller@hermannsteinschool.edu

23 seamen in the South China Sea yesterday.
The container ship, the “Krameria”, registered in Panama, was on its way to Hong Kong
from Singapore when it sent out a distress（求救）call at 1: 30 p.m. The ship reported that it was
sinking after it had a serious damage when hit by Typhon Jasmine earlier in the morning.
Working together, two helicopters from Shunde and an aeroplane from Hong Kong were sent
to the ship, located about four hundred and fifty kilometres south-west of Hong Kong. The
helicopters winched（用绞盘拉）the crew to safety, while the aeroplane provided air refueling
support.
The rescue of the crew took over one hour, as the hard work was interrupted by strong winds
and high seas. Five crew members were injured. All crew members were taken to hospital in
Shunde for treatment, but only one stayed overnight.
Yesterday's rescue was the second joint mission involving air-sea rescue units from Shunde
and Hong Kong this year. Last May, the units successfully found a missing fishing boat.
The “Krameria” reported that a water pipe had burst in the engine room. Early reports
around noon suggested that the crew had the flooding under control, but later the captain radioed
that the ship was filling with water. The rough seas made it impossible for lifeboats to be used.
The Director of Joinst Missions, Ma Jinshan, was delighted with the success of the rescue.
“It was a major rescue in very dangerous conditions. We are pleased that it went so well.”
The “Krameria” is believed to have sunk shortly after the rescue. Yesterday evening, ships
in the area reported seeing containers floating on the water.
Read and put the events in the order they happened.
A．The crew were winched to safety.
B．The reporter wrote the newspaper article.
C．The captain reported that the flooding was under control.
D．The reporter interviewed Ma Jinshan.
E．The crew members were taken to hospital.
F．The missing fishing boat was found.
G．The helicopters left Shunde.
H．The ship was hit by Typhoon Jasmine.
I．The captain sent out a distress call because the ship was sinking.
J．The joint rescue system was introduced.

doing many things. He liked dancing most and wanted to join a dancing group. But Bob's high
school didn't have a boys' dancing group but a girls' group. He tried to join the girls' group. And
he made it.
Bob thought his problem was over after he had been one of the dancers in the dancing group.
But a bigger problem was just beginning. The school didn't allow Bob to stay in the girls' group.
“If we let Bob stay in the group,” the school said, “other boys will want to join. Soon, there

Ever since we became pen pals, Julien has sent me strange things. Once, she sent her sneeze
in a jar.（“I have a cold, can you tell?” she wrote.）Then she sent her fingerprint.（“So you'll
recognize me in a crowd.”）
Julien sent me breakfast, all right: cornflakes. Soggy, milky, grainy, crumbly, limp cornflakes
scraped from the bottom of her cereal bowl. I lost my appetite, but I read the letter.
Dear Caitlin,
These cornflakes were so nutritious that I wanted to share this high-fiber, low-sodium, just-
three-calories, balanced breakfast with you.
Enjoy,
Julien
P. S. Next week I'm sending you a sunset.
“She's mistaken,” I told my mom. “No one can send a sunset, not even Julien. It's
impossible.”
“I don't know,” Mom said. “Julien might find a way. After all, she did send you her
sneeze.”
A week later I checked the mail and found a box with air holes and the words
“FRAGILE-THIS SIDE UP” printed in bold black letters on the top. It was from Julien.
I stroked the box with my fingers. It was perfectly dry. I smelled it. It didn't smell. I held
my breath and started opening the package. What if sunbeams spring out and hit me in the face
like those fake snakes in a can; I thought? My hands shook as I lifted the last flap and peeked
inside. Where in the world was the sunset? All I could find was a letter and a twisty, gray, papery
shell. It looked like a submarine. I read the letter.
Dear Caitlin,
The sunsets at my house are so beautifu l that I had to give you a piece. I counted at least
five different colors in one yesterday. Can you find more?
Hugs and smoochies,
Julien
I looked again at the gray shell. That's no sunset, I thought. “You must mean the
submarines at your house, Julien,” I said. Without reading the postscript, I laid the letter and the
submarine on the kitchen table. Then I left the room to find a pen so that I could cross out
“sunset” and write “submarine” above it.
When I returned, I stared in shock at the submarine. A creature was oozing out of it ! Was it a
sea monster? I looked closer. It was a winged creature… an insect…a butterfly. An orange, blue,
purple, red, and gold butterfly. It looked like…a sunset!
While the sunset opened and closed its wings to dry them, I read Julien's postscript. It said,
“P. S. Next week I'm sending you Japan.”
1．What does the underlined word “oozing” probably mean?
A．moving B．jumping C．swimming D．flying
2．What did Julien really want Caitlin to see in the fourth mail?
A．The setting sun. B．Colors of a sunset.
C．A colorful butterfly. D．A new submarine.
3．We can learn from the passage that Julien was ________.
A．strange and clever B．honest and friendly
C．creative and giving D．funny and inventive
4．What can be inferred from the passage?
A．Caitlin was from Japan and had never seen Julien.
B．Caitlin's mom thought Julien's gifts were fantastic.
C．Caitlin was pleased with the cornflakes that Julein sent.
D．Caitlin was expecting another unusual gift from Julien.

When I Met Chow Yun Fat
Very few people get to meet their idol, but I was lucky. I was waiting for a taxi in a busy area
of Hong Kong. I was meant to take my grandmother to see her doctor and was running late. A
taxi pulled up and as I was about to get in, another guy suddenly appeared in front of me.
“Hey,” I shouted, “that's my taxi.” The guy smiled. He looked familiar. It was Chow
Yun Fat! I've seen every one of his films. He always looks great and his characters are totally
convincing. “You first,” Chow said, apologetically（充满歉意的）.
I could barely speak. “You're my idol. You go first,” I said.
“Please, go first. It looks like you're in a hurry,” replied Chow. So I got in and he waved to
me as the taxi left. I'd forgotten to get his autograph but I'd spoken to Chow Yun Fat, the
gentleman.

仔细阅读文章，回答后面的问题。
When I was in Scotland last year, I visited a special hydroelectric （水电的） power station.
It is inside a mountain. It rains a lot in the mountains of Scotland and there are huge lakes high
up. The water falls down through large pipes to a generator （发电机） in the power station. The
energy of the moving water tums the generator and this produces electricity. A big transformer
（变压器） then increases the number of volts to over 400, 000. The electricity goes through
cables to different parts of Scotland, England and Wales.
The inside of the power station was very clean because it doesn't burn coal or gas. It was
also very quiet. I was very surprised. It was just like being in a hospital, really.
I think hydroelectric power stations are much safer than nuclear power stations. They are also
better for the Earth than coal or gas power stations. Some countries like Sweden and the
Netherlands have said they aren't going to build any more nuclear power stations. They are going
to try to make ‘clean' electricity using water or wind! I think we should do the same and spend
more money on building hydroelectric power stations.
1．Write the names of three parts of UK that get electricity from this power station.
________________ ________________ ________________
2．Write two reasons why the power station is ‘like a hospital'.
________________________________________________________________
3．Why are mountains good places for hydroelectric power stations?
Because ____________________________________________________________.
4．Find the words in the text for these.
Something that makes electricity when it turns ________________
Something that changes the number of volts ________________
Thick wires that carry electricity ________________
5．What is the best titile for this text?
A．Dangers of nuclear power
B．Electricity in Scotland
C．Electricity from water

Hello, listeners. Welcome to Henton Hospital Radio. Before our music program at 4: 00, I'm
going to repeat some of our hospital rules.
The hospital can sleep 800 patients. There are 8 beds in each ward（病房）. The visiting
hours are in the afternoon from 2:30 to 3:30 and in the evening from 7:00 to 8: 00. But remember
only two people can see you at the same time. Sorry about that, but you can see what would

The other rules are about our hours. We start quite early—you might not be used to that. We
wake you up at 6 o'clock, and breakfast is at 8 o'clock, lunch is at noon. There is tea at 3:30 and
supper is at 6 o'clock.
You can see the no smoking sign—we don't allow smoking in the wards. I'm sure you
understand why. However, if you do need to smoke, there are some smoking-rooms where it is
allowed. You will find the radio switch on the wall near your bed, with your own headphones, if
you want to listen. It's our own hospital radio. Wishing you a quick recovery（康复）.

A small piece of fish each day may help keep the heart doctor away. That's the finding of an
extensive study of Dutch men, in which deaths from heart disease were more than 50 percent
lower among those who consumed（消费）at least an ounce（盎司）of saltwater fish per day than
those who never ate fish.
The Dutch research is one of the three human studies that give strong scientific backing to the
long held belief that eating fish can provide health benefits, particularly to the heart.
Heart disease is the number one killer in the US, with more than 550,000 deaths occurring
from heart attacks each year. But researchers have previously noticed that the incidence（发生
率）of heart disease is lower in cultures that consume more fish than Americans do. There are
fewer heart disease deaths, for example, among the Eskimos of Greenland, who consume about 14
ounces of fish a day, and among the Japanese, whose daily fish consumption averages more than 3
ounces.
For 20 years, the Dutch study followed 852 middle-aged men, 20 percent of whom ate no fish.
At the start of the study, the average fish consumption was about two-thirds of an ounce each day
with more men eating lean fish than fatty fish. During the next two decades（a decade=a period of
ten years）, 78 of the men died from heart disease. The fewest deaths were among the group who
regularly ate fish, even at levels far lower than those of the Japanese.
1．How much fish did most of the people in the Dutch study consume every day at the beginning?
A．One ounce. B．14 ounces. C．Less than one ounce. D．3 ounces.
2．According to the Dutch study, how many people could probably be saved each year in the US
by eating fish?
A．852. B．110,000. C．275,000. D．550,000.
3．The reason why the heart disease is the most dangerous killer in the US is that
A．Americans eat too much fatty fish
B．the passage doesn't give us a definite answer
C．Americans drink too much saltwater
D．there are a great number of fat people there
4．What is this passage mainly about?
A．The high incidence of heart disease in some countries.
B．The great changes in people's diet.
C．The daily fish consumption of people in different cultures.
D．The effect of fish eating on people's health.
5．Which of the following statements is TRUE according to the passage?
A．If you consume some saltwater fish per day, you won't need a heart doctor.
B．According to the Dutch research, eating fish gave no benefits to certain people.
C．More than 550,000 people suffered from heart attacks each year in the US.
D．Besides the Dutch research, another two human studies proved the health benefits of eating
fish.

All my friends at school smoked. My dad smoked, he didn't want me to smoke, but my
friends kept saying I was stupid. They asked when I was sixteen and after a month I couldn't stop.
But two years later I could feel what smoking was doing to me. I couldn't run far, and I coughed
every morning. I got very ill and decided to stop. It wasn't easy, but now I've done it, and I feel
better. Now I have money for other things.
If you smoke, you are twice as likely to die from a heart attack. And the more you smoke,
the earlier the heart attack is likely to be. For example, a 50-year-old person who smokes more
than 20 cigarettes a day, is four times more likely to have heart disease than a non-smoker of the
same age.
What does smoking do to the heart? First of all, it makes the heart beat faster and increases
the blood pressure. The cigarette smoke also reduces the amount of oxygen in the blood.
Consequently, the heart has to work harder, with less oxygen. Finally, your arteries（动脉）will
narrow faster if you smoke.
So if you want to reduce your chances of getting heart disease, the answer is easy, not to
smoke. Don't copy your friends and other people who smoke. If you smoke, find out how to stop.
Stopping isn't easy, but you'll be healthier, and…
1．Who is more likely to have heart disease?
A．A smoker. B．A non-smoker. C．A 50-year-old person.
2．What does the writer think of smoking?
A．It is good for his health.
B．Smoking is bad for him.
C．It is neither good nor bad for his health.
3．What happens after the writer stopped smoking?
A．He becomes rich.
B．He has more friends.
C．He becomes healthier and has money to do other things.
4．Which is TRUE according to the passage?
A．The writer started smoking when he was twenty.
B．Smoking makes the heart beat faster and increases the blood pressure.
C．The writer thinks stopping smoking is easy.
5．What's the writer's purpose to write the passage?
A．To persuade people not to smoke.
B．To tell us his story at school.
C．To tell us the harm of a heart attack.

look at the back seat, she saw that the present box had fallen on the floor. Judy opened up the box
and saw a beautiful vase（花瓶）, broken into several pieces.
Judy was afraid to see what she had done. How could she tell her neighbour that she had
broken the vase? Then she noticed that the name of the store was written on the side of the box.

knew it was the right thing to do.
After buying the vase, Judy decided that she should call her neighbour and tell her what
happened. However, before she had a chance to explain, her neighbour said, “Oh, by the way, I
forgot to tell you. I bought a vase for my aunt's birthday yesterday, but when I got home I noticed
that it was broken. I left it in the car as I was planning to return it to the store today. What time
will you return my car? I'd like to get there before it closes.”

The Beginner's Guide to Coffee
Going into cafes like Starbucks can be daunting. There's so much choice, it's difficult to
know what to order. Here is our guide to coffee.
1．Types of coffee:
Black—coffee without milk.
Regular—Normal hot coffee.
Decaffeinated—Coffee without the caffeine that stops coffee drinkers getting a good night's
sleep. Generally it doesn't taste as good as caffeinated coffee.
Espresso—Finely ground（磨）coffee packed into a small cup. Strong!
Cappuccino—One third espresso, one third hot milk and one third foam from the hot milk.
Usually served in cups that look more like bowls.
Latte—Shot of espresso with hot milk and foam. Milkier than cappuccinos.
Mocha—Like a latte with chocolate.
Iced—Basically, it's all the above coffees served on ice. Great in summer.
Frappuccino—The latest craze. This has iced coffee, milk and a highly sweet mix that
Starbucks keeps secret.
2．Size:
Coffee shops don't say small, medium and large. Instead, you can buy short, tall and grande
cups. A grande will keep you up all night!
3．The extras:
Milk—You can choose full cream, low fat or, if you're on a diet, no fat milk.
Sugar—Brown or white, brown being better for coffee.
Powder—Chocolate, cinnamon, nutmeg, vanilla or almond powder put on top of
cappuccinos.
Now you can ask for a “double iced decaffeinated latte with low fat milk”!
Exercise:
Match the word with the correct meaning.
1．espresso a．in the middle
2．powder b．a chemical that can stop people getting sleepy
3．caffeine c．for example, flour
4．frappuccino d．a cold and sweet coffee drink
5．medium e．a strong and hot coffee drink
6．tall f．the word given to middle-sized coffee cups
B
Sugar is so much a part of our modern life that we only really think about it when, for some
reasons, we can't obtain（获得）it. It has been known to man for at least 300 years, but has come
into common use only in modern times.
But what exactly is sugar? Of course, most of us recognize it immediately as the sweet
material which we put in coffee or cakes. But there are in fact many types of sugar, and the
chemist recognizes hundreds of different forms, each coming from a different source.
About 90% of the sugar produced is used as food, only 10% is used in industry for purposes
other than food production. Yet sugar has great possibilities for use as the bases of chemicals. It
can even be used for making plastics. In the future these potential uses will certainly be developed
more than in the past.
There are many reasons why we should increase the production of sugar. The most important
one is that it is one of the most highly concentrated energy foods.
1．What's the meaning of the first sentence of the passage?
A．We can't obtain sugar in our modern life.
B．For at least 300 years sugar is part of our life.
C．Sugar is so widely used in our life that we seldom think about it.
D．For some reasons we can live without sugar.
2．What is sugar according to the chemists?
A．The sweet material we put into coffee or cakes.
B．A material hardly found in nature.
C．A chemical discovered in coffee.
D．A material which may take on many different forms.
3．How much sugar is not used for food?
4．What does “potential uses” in the third paragraph refer to?
A．Making plastics.
B．Producing highly concentrated energy foods.
C．Being used as the basis of chemicals.
D．Being used in food production.
5．Where does this passage seem to be taken from?
A．A story book. B．A paper for entertainment.
C．A medical paper. D．A popular science magazine.

City traffic is a great problem. More cars are produced every year and the streets are getting
more and more crowded. So during rush hours, when people are going to or from their work,
traffic is brought to a standstill. It has been suggested that people should share their cars and give
each other lifts. So each car would carry four or five people instead of only one. It is a good idea,
however, so far nobody has been able to think of a way to make people do so.
When you park at a meter, you must put a coin in the slot. This pays for a certain amount of
time. The meter records this and it shows the time that you have paid for is finished. If the car is
still there then, you have to pay a fine.
Traffic wardens look after the meters. They walk around the streets and check that every
meter shows that money has been paid for the car parked there. If a meter shows “TIME
EXPIRED”, the motorist who has left his car there is fined.
Of course, the traffic warden cannot wait for the owner of the car to return, he carries a pile
of paper, and on one of these he writes down all the details, such as the number of the car, where it
is parked, how much the driver must pay and where he must send the money. He leaves this form
on the car where the driver will be able to see it easily. When the driver comes back, he gets an
unpleasant surprise, but it is his own mistake to park his car too long at a parking meter.

Recently, a professor of Philosophy in the United States has written a book called Money and
the Meaning of Life. He has discovered that how we deal with money in our day-to-day life has
more meaning than we usually think. One of the exercises he asked his students to do is to keep a
record of every penny they spend for a week. From the way they spend their money, they often
see what they really value in life.
He says our relation with others often becomes clearly defined when money enters the picture.
You might have wonderful friendship with somebody and you think that you are very good friends.
But you will know him only when you ask him to lend you some money. If he does, it brings
something to the relationship that seems stronger than ever before. Or it can suddenly weaken the
relationship if he doesn't.
Since money is so important to us, we consider those who possess a lot of it to be very
important. The author interviewed some millionaires in researching his book.
Question: What is the most surprising thing you have discovered about being rich because
you are a self-made man?
Answer: The most surprising thing is how people give me so much respect. I am nothing. I
don't know much. All I am is rich.
In his book, the professor uncovered an important need in modern society: to bring back the
idea that money is an instrument rather than the end, and expecting money to give happiness may
be missing the meaning of life.

A
I came to study in the United States a year ago. Yet I did not know the real American society
until I was injured in a car accident because after the accident I had to see a doctor before going to
court（法庭）.
After the accident, my roommate called a doctor for me. I was very grateful（感激的）and
determined to repay him one day. But the next day, he asked me to pay him $200 for what he had
done. I was surprised. He had good reason to charge me, he said. And if I wanted to collect
money from the person who was responsible for my injury, I'd have to have a good lawyer. And
only a good doctor can help me get a good lawyer. Now that he had helped me find a good doctor,
it was only fair that I should pay him.
But every time I went to see the doctor, I had to wait about 50 minutes. He would see two or
three patients at the same time, and often stop treating one so as to see another. Yet he charged me
$115 each time. The final examination report had ten lines of words, and it cost me $ 215.
My lawyer was all smiles the first time we met. But after that he avoided seeing me at all.
He knew very well the other party was responsible for the accident, yet he hardly did anything.
He simply waited to collect his money. He was so irresponsible that I decided to dismiss（解雇）
him. And he made me pay him $ 770.
Now I had to act as my own lawyer. Due to my inexperience, I told the insurance company
the date I was leaving America. Knowing that, they played for time...and I left without getting a
cent.
My experiences taught me two things about America: Firstly, in a country like America
money is everything. It is more important than friendship, honor or professional morality（职业道
德）. Secondly, foreigners are still being unfairly treated. So when we talked about America, we
should see both its good and bad sides.
1．The writer's roommate offered to help him because ________.
A．he felt sorry for the author
B．he thought it was a chance to make some money
C．he knew the doctor was a very good one
D．he wanted the author to have a good lawyer
2．A good doctor is necessary for the author to ________.
A．be properly treated
B．talk with the person responsible for the accident
C．recover before he leaves America
D．eventually get the responsible party to pay for his injury
3．The underlined word “charge” in the second paragraph means ________.
A．be ready B．cost C．ask as a price D．pay
4．Both the doctor and the lawyer in this passage are very ________.
A．friendly B．greedy（贪婪的）
C．professional D．busy
5．What conclusion can you draw from the story?
A．Going to court is something very common in America.
B．One must be very careful while driving a car.
C．There are more bad sides in America than good sides.
D．Money is more important than other things in the US.

Motorola set out a special training program for children last week with the aim of developing
children's business skills and preparing them for a future as entrepreneurs.
Eighty-seven children aged between 12 and 16 from Beijing and Tianjin attended the one-
week training program called “Youth Discovery”. They were directed by Motorola University's
（MU）instructors（教员）and marketing specialists（专家）. The children learned about dealing
with a practical problem-marketing and worked out a marketing plan by themselves. Last week
26 children of Motorola employees in Tianjin completed their training in the MU-Tianjin Learning
Center.
Through the training program, children learnt how to get information through different kinds
of sources, determine end-user（直接用户）needs, make up messages of value to customers, and
communicate using various means and equipment.
Educators acted only as team “directors”, providing children with help to discover their
own answers. The children gave their solutions（解决方案）to Motorola's management and their
parents were also present on the last day of the program.
The children, most of whom were primary and middle school students, presented themselves
freely.
The students said that they preferred the open and practical way of learning.
“Youth Discovery”, started by Motorola's former president Robert Galvin, designed and
carried out by Motorola University, aimed to bring the talents（才智）of young people into full play
and encouraged them to discover how their skills can contribute to a team to help it reach an aim
（目标）.

C
Voluntary Work
Do you give money to charity（慈善事业）? A lot of people work for charities, many as
volunteers. This is not only a good thing to do. It can also help you find a job as you will see in
this article.
How do you really know what career you want? You can do research and do personality tests
but it's still hard to really know for sure. For many jobs, as well, employers are looking for
experienced candidates. You need to have a job to get experience but can't get a job without
experience.
So why not do some voluntary work? Yes, that means doing a job without pay. You can help
people and gain experience at the same time, even if you have a job. One other advantage is that
there are thousands of foreigners doing charity work in China. Working with them is an excellent
chance to improve your English.
The Chinese Government is a great supporter of voluntary work. It has helped set up more
than 24,000 volunteer service centres where people can go to find out how they can help their
community. Millions of people in China already do so. Here are some examples of how you can
help:
Teach English in a rural area. Believe it or not, teaching is also a great way of improving
your English. You have to think about how to explain grammar and vocabulary, which motivates
you to understand it more. You'll be helping people and finding out if you would like to be a
teacher.
Do office work for a charity. You can get office experience and often training on using
computer software.
Help in a hospital. If you're thinking about becoming a nurse or doctor, there's no better way
to find out what it's like. You may find you hate the sight of blood.
Protect the environment. The Chinese Government launched a “green movement” of
young volunteers, named Protect the Mother River. Young recruits have been planting trees to
fight against desertification（沙漠化）and water pollution in important sections along the Yellow
River.
1．Why can it be difficult for people to find jobs after they graduate?
A．They don't know which job they want.
B．They are too experienced.
C．Companies want people who have worked before.
D．They only have experience of doing personality tests and research.
2．Which sentence is TRUE?
A．There are four types of voluntary work in China.
B．There are more foreigners than Chinese doing voluntary work in China.
C．The government of China wants people to do voluntary work.
D．Foreigners run volunteer service centres for the Chinese government.
3．Teaching English helps ________.
A．just the teacher get experience.
B．just the students learn English.
C．both students and volunteer teachers improve their English.
D．both students and volunteer teachers find out if they want to be teachers.
4．Protect the Mother River helps ________.
A．plant trees near all rivers in China.
B．improve the area near an important river.
C．move sand away from the Yellow River.
D．volunteers who do not like blood.
5．What is NOT a reason to do voluntary work?
A．Find out more about careers.
B．Get a job with a government service centre.
C．Help people less well-off than you.
D．Meet people from different places.
6．What would be the most suitable title for this passage?
A．Working without pay!
B．What to do when you cannot find a job?
C．Do voluntary work with Westerners.
D．Help poor people learn English.

六、阅读短文并填空
There once was a King who offered a prize to the artist who would paint the 1 picture
of peace. Many artists tried. The King looked at all the pictures, but there were only two he really
liked and he had to choose 2 them.
One picture was of a calm lake. The lake was a perfect mirror, for peaceful towering
mountains were all around it. Overhead was a blue sky with fluffy（羽毛似的）white clouds. All
who 3 this picture thought that it was a perfect picture of peace.
4 picture had mountains too. But these were rugged and bare. Above was an 5
sky from which rain fell and in which lightening played. Down the side of the mountain tumbled
a foaming waterfall. This did not look 6 at all. But when the King looked, he saw behind
the waterfall a tiny bush 7 in a crack in the rock. In the bush a mother bird had 8 her
nest. There, in the midst of the rush of angry water, sat the mother bird on her nest, perfect peace.
Which picture do you think 9 the prize?
The King chose the second picture. “Because,” explained the King, “peace does not
10 to be in a place where there is no noise, trouble, 11 hard work. Peace means to be in
the midst of all those things and 12 be calm in your heart. That is the real meaning of
peace.”

A popular destination for families is a zoological park, or zoo. There are many zoos located
all over the world. Here is a look at two popular zoos in the United States, the San Diego Zoo and
the National Zoo.
The San Diego Zoo is located in Balboa Park in San Diego, California. The zoo first opened
in 1916 with a small number of animals. Today, there are more than 4, 000 animals, including 800
different species（种类）.
The San Diego Zoo is open every day, and the hours of admission change according to the
season. The zoo is open from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p. m., but the grounds close at 6:00 p. m. An
average of three million people visit the zoo every year. The price for general admission is
$19.50. The zoo charges $11.75 for children aged three to eleven. There are also deluxe
admission packages（豪华套票）, which include guided bus tours and admission to the Wild
Animal Park. The San Diego Zoo is a 100-acre park, and it offers many services for its visitors.
There are guided bus tours so that visitors can get an introduction to the zoo by an expert. There
are also express buses that allow visitors to get around the zoo more quickly. In addition, there are
tours available in Spanish and French. When visitors get hungry, they can eat at five different
restaurants or at the food carts and stands, which are all over the zoo. There are seven gift shops,
where visitors can buy T-shirts, films, guidebooks, hats, and other merchandise（商品）.
The National Zoo is located in Washington, D.C., on 163 acres. The United States Congress
established the zoo in 1889. The zoo has more than 3,600 animals, and almost 130 of the species
of the zoo's animals are endangered. An average of three million people visit the zoo every year.
The zoo is open every day except Christmas Day, December 25.
Because the National Zoo is part of the group of national museums called the Smithsonian,
admission is free. In the spring and summer, the grounds are open from 6:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.
to visitors. The zoo buildings are open from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In the fall and winter, the
grounds close earlier.
There are many facilities for visitors at the National Zoo. For hungry visitors, there are four
restaurants plus many food stands. Education and community are very important to the zoo, and it
offers a number of special programs for children and adults. There is a summer camp for children
aged nine to twelve. There is a day camp with 52 different classes, including a bilingual
Spanish-English class. The zoo also has special events for the community such as
African-American Family Celebration and the Young Professional Events Series. One of the
Young Professionals Events was Swinging with the Primates, an evening of music and dance
instruction for young professionals and other adults.

Hi Lucy,
Nice to hear from you. Everyone has his favorite stars and there's nothing wrong with
that. I understand you. But I don't think what you do is right since you are a student. You'd
better read more interesting books and have more sports in your free time. Stop writing to
him and watching his films. You may also tell your problem to your parents and teachers.
I'm sure they'll help you. Running away to Hollywood is a wrong idea. Work hard on your
lessons and get ready for the exams. Your future is in your hands.
Yours,

An Unforgettable Experience
Everyone has some unforgettable experiences.
Last term, my leg was badly hurt in a football match, and I had to stay in bed for two
weeks. While I was worrying about school work at home, my classmate, Tom came to help
me. He told me what the teacher taught in class, and helped me a lot with many math
problems. I was deeply moved because he kept teaching me until I returned to school. I was
glad that I caught up with my classmates.
From then on, we became best friends. I truly understood that a friend in need is a
friend in deed.

It is reported that the world's population was 6 billion in the year 2, 000, and it is
growing faster and faster. The world's population problem is the greatest one because it
brings lots of problems, such a water resources problem, more and more people losing their
jobs and so on. These problems are mainly in the developing countries because the
population of the developing countries is over 4／5 of the world's population. So China, the
largest developing country, has kept the policy “one couple, one child.”

As well as having some lessons of Chinese painting and traditional Chinese music in my

places of interest, like the Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Great Wall, and the

We are looking forward to seeing you here in Beijing. We hope you can have a
wonderful time here.
Yours,
David

This past Christmas was one of the best I have ever had. This was made possible by my

My sister bought me three wonderful gifts, 1 only one would stay in my heart forever.
First she handed me the smallest. Because Laura was careful with her actions, I knew this was her
2 favorite. It was a bag of sweets. I was happy with it, but I wanted to know about what lay
ahead. Next she handed me a box. After tearing（撕）away the wrapping paper, I 3 a
fashionable and expensive sweater. I was deeply moved that my sister was so 4 . Then she
handed me the last gift. Judging（判断）by the familiar size and 5 , I knew it was a CD．It was
the record of music from the movie “Rocky”, with encouraging songs to all players,

be with my teammates and suffered（遭受痛苦）each minute when I sat on the bench. I tried hard,
hoping my knee injury would heal（治愈）soon. This was what led my sister to 8 .
After mentioning what was 9 the gift, Laura played the CD for me. Even though I had
heard those songs a thousand times, each note struck（撞击）me as if it was new. It played in my
soul（灵魂）and on my emotions, I 10 breathlessly, as the words “Trying hard now. It's
hard now” sounded through the room. It 11 me in a way beyond the happiness most gifts
could bring. I couldn't help crying and hugged my sister. Knowing that my sister had 12

Just like the planners for the Beijing Olympics in 2008, the planners for the London
Olympics in 2012 are making sure that the Games will benefit the people of their city. London is
planning to hold the most environmentally friendly Olympic Games ever. For example, a wind
turbine（涡轮机）is going to be built to the north of the Olympic Park. London's Olympic planners
say that it will have blades（叶片）about 40 meters and that they plan to use it after the Games to
deliver（传送）energy to homes and businesses in the local area for at least 20 years.
The Olympic Delivery Authority（ODA）plans to use the turbine to produce energy for the
Olympic Park in East London. It is expected to produce the same amount of energy that 1,200
hones use in a year. They're also hoping to make a big impression on the thousands of visitors
expected in London for the Games. It's planned to be 120 metres high over the Olympic Park in
East London when the Olympic Games take place in 2012．
The ODA is also hoping to use other ‘green’ energy sources（来源）. Solar energy from the
summer sun and hydro（水的）power from the River Thames are also possible future energy for
this part of the capital.
London also plans to provide a clean modern transport system for the Games. A train called
Javelin（which will travel at up to 225 km per hour）is going to link（连接）the Olympic Park with
central London in just seven minutes.
The organizers hope to use the new Channel Tunnel Rail Linkat St. Pancras in central
London to bring even more people to the Games. Eurostar trains between London and Paris and
between London and Brussels will be often and these high-speed trains are going to reduce the
number of flights from Europe needed to deliver the sportsmen and audience to London. In
addition, with new railway lines and stations in the local area, transport planners are aiming for the
rail network to deliver 240, 000 passengers an hour to the Park with a train arriving every 15
seconds. In this way planners hope to reduce the need for planes, cars and buses and therefore
make London “greener” in 2012．
4．From the passage we know that “benefit” probably means “________”.
A．do harm to B．do good to C．show D．teach
5．People will go to the Olympic Park from central London by ________.
A．Javelin B．Eurostar C．Channel Tunnel D．plane
6．According to the passage, which statement is NOT true?
A．A wind turbine will be built to deliver energy.
B．The River Thames may be the source of hydro energy.
C．With the use of new railways, London will be greener in 2012．
D．The ODA is an engineer who can build things for the Olympic Games.
7．What is the main idea about this passage?
A．The transport in London will be modern and perfect.
B．The ODA is hoping people will use solar energy and hydro power.
C．London will hold the most environmentally friendly Olympic Games.
D．After the Games the energy will be used for businesses.

Householders are being made to collect their own mail because postmen are not bothering（费
力）to deliver parcels（包裹）and letters that must be signed for. Instead, they simply leave cards
saying “Sorry you were out” without even ringing the doorbell to check. Customers then have
to collect their mails from their local Post Office.
Consumer Watchdog Postwatch said it had received 150 complaints（投拆）from Royal Mail
customers across Britain who received “Sorry you were out” notices when they were actually at
home.
Most parcels and all recorded delivery letters need to be signed for. But some postmen do
not seem to want to wait for householders to answer a knock at the door. Others, employed（雇
用）as short-term workers, have been known only to deliver the cards.
“We have had complaints that postmen are leaving these cards even when people are in,” a
spokesman for Postwatch said. “And we have also had customers telling us that short-term
postmen are not allowed to take signed mail to the door, so they had to drop these notices through
the letterbox instead. It is completely unacceptable that this mail is not being delivered. The
recorded mail service is more expensive and is meant to be a top quality（品质）delivery service,
but this is not the case.”
Musician Adrian Bradbury, 38, complained to Postwatch after he received two cards through
the letterbox at his South London home while he was there caring for his baby daughter. He ran
after the postman, only to find he did not have the parcels with him. The postman told him that he
was a short-term worker and said the parcels could be picked up from the sorting office at New
Cross Gate. More than three weeks later, Mr. Bradbury has not had a chance to pick up his
parcels. “I am so busy looking after the baby,” he said, “The parcels are probably presents for
her.”
The Royal Mail said it knew about the situation in Mr. Bradbury's area of New Cross Gate
and it was a way “to simplify（简化）things for new short-term workers that came in”.
The Communication Workers Union criticized（批评）the Royal Mail. “If the managers are
encouraging this practice, the CWU condemns（谴责）it. For the Royal Mail to deliver the service
customers deserve（应得）, the company needs to spend money on properly trained and paid
long-term workers.”
8．Customers complain that the postmen leave cards saying “Sorry you were out” ________.
A．when there is nobody in
B．after they ring the doorbell
C．without checking if there is someone in
D．to save time and money
9．The underlined sentence “but this is not the case” means that ________.
A．customers get a very good delivery service without paying so much
B．the Royal Mail spends much money on a top delivery service
C．customers have to pay more money for better delivery service
D．the Royal mail doesn't provide the service customers deserve
10．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A．Some of the complaints have to do with the short-term workers.
B．The recorded mail is more expensive and should be signed for.
C．Mr. Bradbury is so angry because the parcels for his daughter are lost.
D．The Royal Mail should be condemned if it doesn't change the situation.
11．From the passage, we can infer（推断）that Postwatch is probably a（n） ________.
A．householder B．postman
C．letterbox D．organization

六、阅读与表达
阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
When children are faced with problems, they may not be able to deal with them. Children
need to learn how to solve（解决）problems. You can help them to learn it. The best way is to take
the time to talk about problems as they happen. Of course, this is not easy to do. Problems have a
way of bursting upon（突然发生）someone at the worst time. But even if the time is not the best,
you should try to help.
There are many things you can do to help children learn problem-solving skills. One good
way is to find out what made the problem happen. This is a skill that children won't learn without
help. A child may knock over a glass of milk at the dinner table, but he may not realize that the
glass was too close to the edge. You can show the child what the problem is. Then it can be
solved.
The next step for children is to learn how to solve the problem alone. This step takes
courage. Some of them are so afraid of being wrong that they cannot solve problems. You can
help them by talking about some possible answers. Then two of you can decide which answer is
the best. Let the children try it out. Now the children will see that problems can be solved, and
you can praise them for choosing an answer.
Another step to problem-solving is to help children see the laws of cause and effect（因果规
律）. If a glass is knocked over, it will fall and break. If children might like to write on the wall,
the pencil always leaves a mark. Soon the children will see the link between cause and effect, and
then they are on the road to growth. When children see someone else knock over a glass. They
now know that it will break. When they see writing on the wall, they can tell how it got there.
The ability to solve problems is not easy for children to learn. It is not easy for adults either.
It takes patience for you, and it takes practice for the child. But problem-solving can be taught.
All you need is time and effort.
1．Is it the best way to talk about problems in time?
________________________________________________________________________
2．What is an adult going to do first when a child knocks over a glass at the table?
________________________________________________________________________
3．Why is it difficult for children to solve problems alone?
________________________________________________________________________
4．What do adults need to help children solve problems?
________________________________________________________________________
5．How can people help children learn problem-solving skills?

Everybody knows Amadeus Mozart, the world's most famous child piano prodigy（天才）.
He was a composer, pianist, and performer—a total musician. He was born in Salzburg, Austria,
but nobody really knows where he was buried. Even his real name is not popular. People know
him as Amadeus but few know he was born as John Chrysostom Wolfgang Theophilus Mozart,
and his father called him Woferl.
As a child, Mozart was very popular. That was because he was doing things unusual for little
children. While everyone else was having fun playing, Mozart was already composing,
performing and touring for concerts. His father was always behind him.
Some really amazing stories about Mozart include the one when he heard an “oink” of a
pig and recognized it as a G-sharp. When somebody duplicated（复制）the tune on a piano, it was
indeed G-sharp. And he was only two years old at the time!
He also kept interfering with his sister's piano lessons at the age of three and that was when
his father knew he wanted lessons too. But it wasn't until he was four years old when he finally
got formal lessons. But at that time, he could already learn a minuet（小步舞曲）within thirty
minutes! Who wouldn't be amazed?
At the age of six, while performing, he must have found his audience getting bored that he
thought of performing a trick. But nobody knew he had the entire keyboard covered with a cloth
so he could not see the keys and still played the music perfectly. He was still a child having fun at
that time.
It was told that he suffered many disappointments and hardships. He didn't even have a
stable job when he got married and he died really poor. There is a widespread story that a friend
visited him one winter day, and found Mozart and his wife waltzing round the room. “We were
cold,” they explained, “and we have no wood to make a fire.” They were cold, but they still
chose a romantic way to get rid of the cold. His music spoke of life, love and laughter.
All in all, Mozart didn't only leave great music but a great lesson too: that no matter how
difficult life is, there is always room for smiles, laughter and fun.
4．His father called him ________.
A．Mozart B．Woferl C．Amadeus D．Austria
5．As a child, Mozart was so popular because ________.
A．his music spoke of love and laughter
B．he was interested in learning dancing
C．he often made jokes when having music lessons
D．he always did things unusual for little children
6．What were Mozart and his wife doing to get rid of the cold?
A．Jumping. B．Walking. C．Singing. D．Dancing.
7．Which of the following is true according to the text.？
A．Mozart had a poor life when he was married.
B．Mozart was very good at teaching music.
C．Mozart got a good job when he grew up.
D．Mozart's real name is very popular
C
There was one shop in the town of Mufulira which was widely known for its racial
discrimination（种族歧视）. It was a drugstore. While Europeans were served at the counter, a
long line of Africans queued at the window and often not only were kept waiting but were rudely
treated by the shop assistants. One day I was determined to make a public protest（抗议）against
this kind of thing, and many of the schoolboys in my class followed me to the store.
I simply went into the shop and asked the manager politely for some medicine. As soon as he
saw me standing in the place where only European customers were allowed to stand, he shouted at
me in a bastard language which is only used by a boss when speaking to his servants. I stood at
the counter and politely requested in proper English that I should be served. The manager became
angry and said, “Even if you stand there till Christmas, I will never serve you.”
I went to the District Commissioner's office. Luckily, he was out, for he was one of the old
school; however, I saw a young District Officer who was a friend of mine. He was very concerned
to hear my story and told me that all I had to do was to come to him personally and he would buy
my medicine for me. I protested that that was not good enough. I asked him to accompany me
back to the store and to make a protest to the manager. This he did, and I well remember him
saying to the manager, “Here is Mr. Kaunda who is a responsible member of the Urban
Advisory Council, and you treat him like a common servant.” The manager of the drugstore
apologized and said, “If only he had introduced himself and explained who he was, then, of
course I should have given him proper service.”
I had explained once again that he had missed my point. Why should I have to introduce
myself every time I went into a store...any more than I should have to buy my medicine by going
to a European friend? I want to prove that any man of any color, whatever his position, should
have the right to go into any shop and buy what he wants. After all, the money which I paid across
the counter was exactly the same money as was paid by a European customer.
8．The writer was, at the time of the story, ________.
A．a European officer B．an African servant
C．a drugstore assistant D．a black school teacher
9．The manager of the drugstore shouted at the writer in dirty words because ________.
A．he could not speak English in a polite way
B．he thought the writer wouldn't understand English
C．that was the language he used when speaking to Africans
D．that was the only language he could speak when he was angry
10．The underlined sentence “he was one of the old school” means ________.
A．he didn't give up those racial ideas
B．he was an old official in the government
C．he didn't graduate from a new white school
D．he was one of the leaders in an old black school
11．Why didn't the writer wait at the window of the drugstore like other Africans?
A．He believed his friends would help him out.
B．He wanted to fight for equal rights of all people.
C．He thought he was well educated and should be treated differently.
D．He thought, being an important person, he shouldn't be kept waiting.

阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
You are sitting at home doing your homework when your mom comes home early from her
job at the factory. “Is anything wrong?” you ask her. “I just lost my job to a robot,” she says
sadly.
Does this sound impossible？ Already many thousands of robots are being used in factories
all across the country. More are being put in every day. Some new factories are completely run
by machines.
One result of increasing robots in many factories is that more people lose their jobs in
industrial areas. Factory workers in these areas are worried. Even when jobs are kept, workers
say that robots change the nature of the work. They say their jobs become much less interesting.
Some people are not satisfied that now they only “baby-sit” for the new machines.
Other people think that robots will help both factory owners and the work force. Company
spokespersons are quick to point out that robots often perform jobs that people would rather not do,
for example, jobs that can be uninteresting or dangerous. The use of robots for dirty work can
improve the working conditions for humans.
For factory work, robots are simply cheaper to operate and can do better jobs than humans.
Many factory owners think that they must either use robots or lose business to companies that do.
Some industry experts feel that robots will offer many new jobs. After all, people will have to
build and fix the machines. But other experts point out that although using robots may bring about
more jobs in the long run, they certainly cause job losses in the short run.
1．Did the mother lose her job to a robot?
____________________________________________________________________________
2．Are many new factories completely run by machines or workers?
____________________________________________________________________________
3．Why are factory workers in industrial areas worried?

People celebrate birthdays in almost every country. And they celebrate them in many
different ways.
In China and Japan, for example, the arrival of the New Year is more important than a
person's birthday. So, everyone adds a year to their ages on New Year's Day, instead of on their
birthdays.
In Brazil the special birthday food isn't cake, but special candies. In China, it's long
noodles—for long life. In Iceland, pancakes with candies rolled inside them are served on
birthdays.
In Great Britain, a birthday is an all-day celebration. At school, the birthday kid is lifted up
and “bumped” by his classmates. This means the person is lifted by the ankles and arms and
bumped on the ground, once for each year and once for growth. In Israel, the same custom is
followed, except the birthday person is raised and lowered while sitting in a chair.
In Holland, children not only get gifts, but they give things out, too. It's customary to give
cakes, cookies, and candies to your classmates and teacher on your birthday.
In Mexico, it's good luck to give birthday greetings as early in the day as possible. So it's not
unusual to be awakened at midnight by friends singing birthday songs.
In Thailand, two tall candles are lighted the night before a birthday. One is as tall as the
birthday person. It stands for how long the birthday person will live. If it goes out early, it's bad
luck. Another Thai custom involves buying live fish and birds. The birthday person frees the
animals, which brings good luck.
In Nigeria, people don't celebrate individual birthdays. Instead, everyone in a certain age
group celebrates together on a certain day.
In many countries, birthday customs are changing. Old customs are giving way to Western
style birthdays, complete with candle-topped cakes. But one thing never changes—Birthdays are
special days for everyone!
4．It's a custom to lift and lower the birthday person in chair in ________.
A．Britain B．Israel C．Brazil and Israel D．Israel and Britain
5．In Mexico the birthday greetings are usually given at midnight because ________.
A．birthday celebrations must begin before the sun rises
B．the birthday person must be awakened at midnight
C．it will cause good things to happen to the birthday person
D．the candles must be lighted at midnight before a birthday
6．According to the passage, which of the following is NOT true?
A．In Western countries a birthday cake is always prepared for a birthday person.
B．In Western countries people eat a candle-topped cake at the end of the birthday party.
C．Every Chinese and every Japanese adds a year to their ages on New Year's Day.
D．More and more people celebrate their birthdays in Western style.
7．How many countries are mentioned in this passage?
A．Eight. B．Nine. C．Ten. D．Eleven.
C
One of the greatest killers in the Western world is heart disease. The number of people who
die from the disease has been increasing at an alarming speed for the past thirty years. Today in
Britain, for example, about four hundred people a day die of heart disease. Medical experts know
that people can reduce their chances of getting heart disease by exercising regularly, by not
smoking, by changing their diets, and by paying more attention to the reduction of stress in their
work.
However, Western health-care systems are still not paying enough attention to the prevention
（预防）of the disease. There is a need for more programs to educate the public about the causes
and prevention of heart disease. Instead of encouraging such programs, however, the U. S.
health-care system is spending much more money on the surgical（外科的）treatment of the
disease after it develops. This emphasis（强调）on treatment clearly has something to do with the
technological advances that have taken place in the past ten to fifteen years. In this time, modern
technology has made doctors be able to develop new surgical techniques. Many operations that
were considered impossible or too dangerous a few years ago are now performed every day in
U.S. hospitals. The result has been a huge increase in heart surgery.
Although it is true that heart surgery can help a large number of people, some people point
out that the emphasis on the surgical treatment of the disease has three clear disadvantages. First,
it attracts interest and money away from the question of prevention. Second, it causes the costs of
hospital care to rise. After hospitals buy the expensive equipment that is necessary for modern
heart surgery, they must try to recover the money they have spent. To do this, they raise costs for
all their patients, not just those patients whose treatment requires the equipment. The third
disadvantage is that doctors are encouraged to perform surgery—even on patients for whom an
operation is unnecessary—because the equipment and expert skills are there. A government office
recently said that major heart surgery was often performed even though its chances of success
were low. In one type of heart surgery, for example, only 15 percent of patients improved their
states of health after the surgery. However, more than 100, 000 of these operations are performed
in the United States every year.
8．According to this passage, what influence has modern technology had on medicine?
A．It has reduced the costs of medical treatment.
B．It has helped save the lives of most patients.
C．It has educated people about the prevention of disease.
D．It has encouraged doctors to do more heart surgeries.
9．“To do this”（in Paragraph 3）means ________.
A．to increase the number of heart surgeries
B．to help patients to get well as soon as possible
C．to get back the money spent on the equipment
D．to buy new equipment for the treatment of heart disease
10．The author would agree that ________.
A．more money should be spent on the prevention of heart disease
B．heart surgery has helped most patients improve their states
C．modern technology has made heart surgery more dangerous than before
D．the public has known a great deal about the causes of heart disease
11．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．The Greatest killer in the West.
B．Heart Disease: Treat or Prevent.
C．Modern Technology and Heart Surgery.
D．Heart Surgery: Advantages and Disadvantages.

五、阅读与表达
阅读短文，根据其内容回答问题。
If you are lost in the mountains, do not be nervous in the face of darkness, loneliness, and the
unknown. It will greatly increase your chances of survival（going on living）. Many people think
that preparing necessary equipment and knowing how to use it are very important, but actually
eighty percent of mountain survival is your reaction（反应）to fear.
Find a hiding place.
Unnecessary labor will make you feel tired and make you cold. Try to find a hiding place
around you first. If you are in a snow-covered area, you may be able to dig a cave in deep snow
for protection from the wind. You should try to hide yourself in the middle of the mountain if
possible. Stay out of the valleys（山谷）—cold air falls, and the valley floor can be the coldest area
on the mountain.
Signal（向……发信号）rescuers for help.
The best time to signal rescuers is during the day. Signal for help from the highest point
possible—it will be easier for rescuers to see you, and any sound you make will travel farther. If
you take a box of matches and a special blanket for traveling, build three smoky fires and put your
blanket—gold side facing out—on the ground.
Do not walk away.
It will make finding you more difficult, as search teams will be trying to follow your path and
may miss you if you have gone off in a different direction. Searchers often end up finding a car
with no one in it.
If you get frostbite（冻伤）, do not rewarm the affected area until you' re out of danger.
You can walk on frostbitten feet, but once you warm the area and can feel the pain, you will
not want to walk anywhere. Try to protect the frostbitten area and keep it dry until you are
rescued.
1．Do you need to find a hiding place if you are lost in the mountains?
____________________________________________________________________________
2．According to the passage, what is the best time to signal rescuers?
____________________________________________________________________________
3．How many ways can you learn from the passage to survive when you are lost in the mountains?
____________________________________________________________________________
4．What does the underlined word “rescuers” mean in English?
____________________________________________________________________________
5．What does the passage mainly talk about?

Dear Li Ming,
How is everything？
As you know, I like eating hamburgers and drinking Coke. But my parents have stopped
giving me pocket money. They don't allow me to have that kind of things any more only because
I'm getting a little heavier and getting tired easily. So I feel unhappy and I don't want to talk with
them at home. I'm now even thinking of asking for some money from my grandparents without
telling them. What should I do? I'm looking forward to your advice.
Yours,
John

“No man is an island” is a well-known line from John Donne's Devotion, written more
than three hundred years ago. Even now people still agree with him. No one can live a
completely isolated life. Without other people, life became empty and sad. We all need friends.
For some of us, though making friends is not difficult, feeling shy, we may not want to make
the first move. It is also difficult at times to keep the friends we already have.
There are many books about friendship, but Dale Carnegie's How to Win Friends and
Influence（影响）People, written in 1936, is the most famous. This “How to” book about
getting along with other people became a best-seller. It was later put into 28 languages.
Dale Carnegie's advice seems to be simple, but can his advice help you? Do you need to
change the way you act? Here is the list of advice from his book.
1．Be friendly and polite.
Always greet with a smile. Begin with “excuse me” or “would you please”, when you
want to ask somebody. Remember to say “thank you” and try to be as helpful as you can.
2．Go out of your way to be nice.
Find some time to do special things for other people. Making some soup for a sick neighbour
may seem like a little thing to you, but it will make your neighbour feel a lot better.
3．Remember names.
They say that the sweetest music to a person's ears is the sound of his or her own name.
4．Be open-minded.
Try to understand other people's ways and ideas and learn something from them.
5．Listen patiently.
When someone is talking to you, look at him or her, listen carefully and say something when
necessary.
4．The first sentence “No man is an island” means ________.
A．no one can live on an island B．everyone needs friends
C．man enjoys living alone D．we all should be friendly
5．We can learn from this passage that ________.
A．John Donne learned something from Dale Carnegie
B．the writer mainly tells people to behave politely
C．Carnegie's book was read by a small number of people
D．the writer agrees with John Donne and Dale Carnegie
6．Dale Carnegie advises you ________.
A．not to visit your neighbour too often
B．not to say anything when someone talks to you
C．not to forget other people's names
D．not to spend time doing something for others
7．The best possible title for this passage should be “________”.
A．Friendship B．Make Friends
C．Neighbourhood D．Keep Friends
C
It was two months before Christmas, when nine-year-old Almie Rose told her father and me
that she wanted a new bike. Her Barbi bike was just too old, and it needed repairing as well.
As Christmas came nearer, her dream for a bike seemed to disappear, so we thought, for she
didn't mention it again. We were busy buying some beautiful story books, a doll house, a holiday
dress and toys. Then much to our surprise, on December 24, she said she really wanted a bike
more than anything else.
Now we didn't know what to do. It was just too late. We were busy with Christmas dinner
and packing children's presents, parents' presents, a brother's present and friends' presents till
midnight. So there was no time to take to buy the “right bike” for our little girl. Thinking that
we were parents who would make their child unhappy, we felt ashamed and sad.
Suddenly my husband had an idea. “What if I make a little bike out of clay（泥土）and write
a note that she could trade（交换）the model bike for a real one？” So he spent the next five hours
carefully working with clay to make a small bike.
On Christmas morning, we were so excited for Almie Rose to open the little box with the
beautiful red and white clay bike and the note. She opened and read the note loudly. She looked
at me and Ron and said, “So, does this mean I can trade in this bike for a real one？” Smiling, I
said, “Yes.” Almie Rose had tears in her eyes when she replied, “I would never trade in this
beautiful bike that Daddy made me. I prefer to keep it rather than get a real bike. ”At that
moment, we would have moved the God to buy her every bike on the earth.
8．What did Rose want most on Christmas Day?
A．A new bike. B．A doll house.
C．A holiday dress. D．A story book.
9．They didn't buy the bike before December 24 because ________.
A．they forgot it for Rose didn't mention it again
B．they were busy preparing for the Christmas
C．they thought Rose didn't want it any longer
D．they bought many other presents for her
10．Which of the following is TRUE?
A．Rose's father liked making things.
B．Rose's father decided to buy her a bike later.
C．Rose's parents forgot to buy her a present.
D．Rose's parents paid little attention to her.
11．From Rose's words in the last paragraph, we can learn that she ________.
A．still wanted to get a real bike
B．didn't know the meaning of the note
C．preferred a real bike to the model one
D．was moved by what her father had done

Twenty-three-year-old Michael Phelps has become a phenomenon（神话）in swimming.
At the 2008 Summer Olympic Games, he won eight gold medals. That was more than the
whole Australian team could put together. He beat Mark Spitz's 1972 record of seven wins in the
pool at the one Games. Phelps has put his name next to seven world records.
Nine days, 17 games, morning and night he competed and won. He had to beat former（从前

Michael Phelps started to swim at the age of 5. Guess which stroke（动作）he first tried? The
backstroke. It's because he didn't want to put his face in the water.
By the age of 7, he had taken part in a lot of swimming contests. At 11, he met coach Bob
Bowman who saw the kid's great talent.
How did Phelps become so good？ He was born with the body of a swimmer. He stands
1.87 meters high and has a wide wingspan（臂展）. He knows how to use his body to full
advantage. His hands and feet are like paddles（踏板）in the water and he has a strong kick.
But that's not all; he also has the heart and will to win. He thinks that anything is possible as
long as you put your mind to it.
Swimming is Phelps' life. Every day he spends five hours in the water, swimming about 11
kilometers. He never takes a day off. This is a young man who knows what he wants.
“If I didn't swim my best, I'd think about it at school, at dinner, and with my friends. It
would drive me crazy,” he said.
“There are no limits. The more you dream, the further you get.”

Last year I had a wonderful winter vacation. I traveled with my parents to visit my
grandparents. We played games together and spent a lot of time talking about my schoolwork.
They were proud of me and our time together was very special.
However, I'm going to do something different this winter vacation. First of all, I will
study harder than before because I want to make great progress in all subjects next term,
especially in English. I am weak in English listening. I'll listen to the English radio program
every day to improve my listening skills. Besides, I'd like to volunteer some time to visit the
sick kids in the local hospital to cheer them up. I'm good at singing and dancing so I'll spend
more time on them.
I'm sure I'll have a busy but colorful winter vacation.

六、书面表达
Dear John,
Nice to hear from you. I can understand you. But I don't think you are right since all
the parents in the world love their children. In fact, it's a good idea to stop eating hamburgers
and drinking Coke because they are bad for your health. You'd better eat more fruit and
vegetables. You should drink water instead of Coke. I think you can also make a plan for
keeping fit and ask your parents' advice. They will agree with you if your plan is good
enough. Don't ask for money from your grandparents. If you don't give up the bad eating
habits, you will feel even worse. I'm sure you can help yourself with the problem.
Yours,
Li Ming

七、书面表达
Dear Lily,
Please don't worry. There are lots of things you can do to help yourself fall asleep. Go
to bed at the same time every night and get up at the same time every morning, even on
weekends. Music and books are good, but choose wisely—rock music or reading an exciting
story won't relax you. If you're restless because you are worrying about something, talk
about it with a friend or parents. You will sleep a lot better. Sweet dreams!
