Last week was Road Safety Week at Jason‘s school. All the students had to take part in a talk on road safety which was given by a police officer. The following is what the police officer said.
―Most traffic accidents shouldn‘t happen. They happen because people are careless. A frequent cause of traffic accidents is speed. Some people drive too quickly. This means that if they have to stop suddenly, they cannot stop quickly enough to avoid hitting other vehicles or people. You need to remember this when you are crossing the street or walking along the sidewalk.‖
―It‘s not only drivers who cause accidents, however. People on foot-pedestrians, and bicycle riders often cause accidents, too. Pedestrians sometimes walk out into the street without looking. You should always look on both sides before stepping into the street.‖
―Do any of you ride a bike? Bicycle riders can cause accidents by changing directions suddenly or without warning other road users. Before you turn left, for example, you should check behind you to make
sure there aren‘t any cars, trucks or buses coming. You should show with your left hand to tell that you want to turn left. You should not turn until the street is clear.‖
―The rules of the road are very simple. If we learn them and obey them, we should not have accidents any more.‖

A famous study was done in a school by a professor (教授) from a university. At the start of the school year, the teachers were given the names of five children. They were told that these five were the most excellent students in the class. But the fact was that these students were only average (中等)，and they were not the best students at all. Well, guess what? At the end of the year, all the five average students scored among the highest in the class.
What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in their teachers‘ attitude (态度). Because the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. And so these five average students began to believe and expect more from themselves. So they worked harder to do as well as they could.
Do you know? If you expect the best from people, they‘ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, ―Treat (对待) a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you‘ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he‘s already a success, and you‘ll help make him the best he can be.‖ Like the true story of 7-year-old Johnny, his teacher got so angry with him that one day she said, ―Johnny, you‘re the naughtiest boy in this class. I‘m sure you‘ll never change.‖ The next year Johnny had a new teacher. And on the first day of class, she talked with Johnny after school and said, ―Johnny, I‘ve heard a lot about you! But do you know that I don‘t believe a word of it.‖ And every day after that, this new teacher treated Johnny as if he was one of the smartest students even when Johnny did naughty things. Later on, Johnny became a school leader. Because that‘s the power of our belief (信任) and attitude toward children.
61. The professor started his research by_________. A. telling the five students to work harder than ever before B. teaching the five children himself
C. telling the teachers the five students were the best in the class D. asking the five children to find a new teacher
62. The five average students became top students mainly because of_________. A. the professor‘s study
B. the change in the professor‘s attitude C. the teachers‘ hard work
D. the change in the teachers‘ attitude
63. Why did the writer tell us the story of 7-year-old Johnny? A. To show the importance of encouragement.
B. To show that the boy was clever enough. C. To let us know the famous boy.
D. To let us know how good his new teacher was. 64. According to the story, we can learn that_________. A. the research began at the end of the school year
B. the students scored highest only because they worked hard C. if you expect the most from people, you‘ll get the least D. little Johnny liked his new teacher very much 65. What does the passage mainly tell us?
A. If you want to get more, you should have new teachers. B. Attitude and belief can change a person. C. A professor‘s study can help you score highest. D. Only teachers can make you a top student. Ⅷ. 任务型阅读(共5小题;每小题1 分，满分5 分)

One night , the leader of Scots took his soldiers to the top of a hill. ―We will rest here tonight, my men,‖ he said. ―Tomorrow we will fight against the Romans again. We must win, or we will die.‖
They were all very tired, so they ate their supper quickly and fell asleep. There were only four guards (卫兵) on duty, but they too, were very tired, and one by one, also fell asleep. The Romans were not asleep. Quickly they arrived at the foot of the hill. Slowly they climbed up the hillside. Closer and closer they came to the sleeping Scots. They were almost at the top. A few minutes later, the war would be over. Suddenly one of them put his foot on a thistle (蓟：一种叶子带刺的野生植物). He cried out and his sudden cry woke the Scots. In a minute, the Scots were all ready to fight. They fought very bravely and won in the end.

Have you ever rubbed(搓) your hands together when they get cold? Why do we do that? We do that for friction. Friction happens when two things that aren‘t very smooth rub together to make heat energy. The faster you rub two things together, the more friction (and heat) you can make. Let‘s discover friction! WHAT YOU‘LL NEED: Soap Water Your hand s WHAT TO DO:
(2)Make sure your hands are dry.
(3)Rub your hands together until you feel the heat of your hands. (4)Now, use soap and water to get your hands very slippery (滑的).
(5)Try to make friction happen while your hands are slippery. (6)Please write down what has happened. LET‘S TALK!
Friction is an energy that happens when two things rub together. When friction happens, it makes heat! When your hands are slippery, they won‘t make very much friction and your hands won‘t get so hot. DO YOU KNOW?
1. Friction happens when you stop your fast running bike.
2. Ancient people made fires by rubbing two pieces of wood together. Friction happened though they didn‘t know it. ______?
Friction is everywhere. Have you ever noticed situations where friction is happening? If not, ask your parents to take you out in a car.

Two old men lived in a room on the third floor of an old people‘s home. Both men were very old and badly ill, and they spent 24 hours a day in bed in the room.
Luckily, one of the old men had his bed by the window, and every day he spent hours telling his friend far from the window what he could see through the window. He told him about the traffic going by, the children playing in the park opposite, and the birds flying in trees. The old man far from the window got a lot of pleasure from hearing about the world outside, but after a time he began to get rather unhappy. How nice it would be, he thought, if he had the bed by the window and could see everything for him, instead of just hearing about it.
One night, the man by the window called to his friend, ―Quick! Pull the alarm by your bed, I don‘t think I can get through the night!‖ But his friends, expecting an empty bed by the window, did nothing---he just closed his eyes and went back to sleep.
The next morning, the nurse found the man dead in his bed by the window.

You may be a top student, but imagine if you have to leave alone, will life be as easy as when your parents are around? Few teenagers are able to give a positive answer to this question. The first thing that worries Xiao Hua is where to find food. The 14-year-old student says that she knows little about cooking. ―The only thing I can make to fill my stomach is tomato and egg soup, and I think many of my classmates are the same，‖ she said.
Although she believes that basic(基础)living skills such as cooking and washing clothes are a must in creating a self-made person, the girl doesn‘t think teenagers are given enough opportunities to practice. ―I would like to learn in summer holidays before I enter high school. But when we are in junior middle school, parents do almost everything for us.‖ She said.
For most teenagers like Xiao Hua, it‘s only when they have to leave home do they decide to learn some living skills. They are too busy with their heavy schoolwork to think about such stuff.
However, Xiao Ming, a 15-year-old boy, doesn‘t think so. ―We should develop these skills day by day, just in case of unexpected situation,‖ he said.
A few days ago, his mother broke her leg and Xiao Ming started to cook for the family. Luckily, he had learned to cook a few dishes from his mom before the accident.
Xiao Ming‘s school is going to start an elective course(选修课)in cooking, in which lots of special cooking skills will be taught. It has interested many students and Xiao Ming wishes he had time to take it. ―I‘m afraid it‘s too much for most of the students because as far as I know, few have simple kitchen knowledge,‖ he said.
In his opinion, many teenagers depend too much on their parents, and there is much more to learn than cooking, like ―cleaning up your room or even dressing yourself in a right way.‖ 51. In Xiao Hua‘s opinion, many of her classmates know . A. much about cooking B. a little about cooking C. little about cooking D. more about cooking

A. Learning to Cook B. Learning to Do Housework C. Learning to Wash D. Learning an Elective Course 七、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分) 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。
Very often, new-born babies are not beautiful. They are wrinkled (多皱的) or hairless, or they have an angry look on their faces. They seem to say, ―Get away! I hate everybody.‖ But to a parent, that hairless, wrinkled, angry-faced baby is the most beautiful and perfect (完美的) child in the world. When that proud father or mother asks you, ―Well, isn‘t she beautiful?‖ What are you going to say? Is this the time for the truth? Of course not!
You look that proud father in the eye and say, ―Yes, she is! She is really a beauty. (83) She is one in a million. She‘s as beautiful as a picture! I can tell!‖
In English this is a white lie. White lies don‘t hurt people. They are not cruel (残忍的) or angry words. People use them to make a difficult thing a little easier. When people don‘t want to meet someone, or eat something new that they really don‘t like at their friend‘s house. They tell a white lie. They are trying to be kind. They don‘t want to hurt someone.

Everyone needs friends. There is an old saying ―Friends are God's way of taking care of us.‖ But how do you find real friendship and keep it?
The American writer Sally Seamans tells young students some smart ways to find friends. Sally says finding friendship is just like planting a tree. You plant the seed and take care of it to make it grow. First, you should choose a friend. What makes a Good friend? It is not because a person has money or good looks. A good friend should be kind and patient. For example, if you have a bad day, a good friend should listen to your complaints and do his or her best to help. To make a friend, you can not be too shy. You should make each other happy and share your lives. But things cannot always be happy. Even the
best have fights. What should you do when you have a fight with your friend? You have to talk to him or her. When there is no one around, have an honest talk. If he or she doesn't want to talk, you could write a letter.
There are three steps to being friends again:
Tell him or her how you are feeling ; say what your friend has done wrong, and explain why you did this or that. Remember that friendship is the most important thing in your life. 41.The world ―patient‖ in the first paragraph means________. A.友好 B.大方 C.耐心 D.热情

As space science develops, man has learned more and more about space. Space is not only amazing but also dangerous. While working in space, spacemen are facing danger as well as success. Scientists have found out that radiation(辐射) is the greatest danger to spacemen in space. When spacemen are working in space, they are. in danger of radiation from the sun and other stars, which is bad for their health. The damage(危害) done by radiation won't be discovered until their children or even grandchildren are born. Some special medicine may work a little, but no really helpful medicine has been.
Space junk(垃圾) is also thought a great danger to spacemen. It's reported that there are 9,000 man-made things flying in space. About 30% of these are satellites, 10% are spaceships, and the rest are space junk. An explosion(爆炸) in 1996 made a cloud of 300,000.fragments, each at least 4mm in size, and even a small piece of these knocked against a spaceship window and did some damage. Scientists are watching and reporting any possible danger all the time. They are working on helpful ways to do with space junk.
Although space is really dangerous, it interests everyone on the earth. In the near future, it may become usual for people to spend a few days in a space hotel. We may even choose to leave the earth and live m space in a few years. So we should care for space and do something to help improve the space environment.
46._________shows the man-made things in Space in the correct way. 47. Space junk and radiation in space are dangerous to______. A. spacemen working in space B. people only on the earth C. all the people except children D. All the spacemen 48. The underlined word ―fragments‖ means ―_______‖. A.碎片 B.泡沫 C.烟雾 D.粉末
49. Which of the following about the passage is TRUE'?
A. The spaceships ,are not dangerous in space. B. Every one of us can make a trip to space now. C. Scientists have found out ways to solve any problem in space.
D. The passage tells us that radiation in space comes from the sun and other stars. 50. The best title of the passage is______.
A. Space Radiation B. Space Danger C. Space Junk D. Space explosion D
In one way, it may be thought that failure (失败)is a part of life. In another, failure may be re¬garded as a step towards success.
The \"spider-story\" is often told as an example of this. Robert Bruce, leader of the Scots in the 13th century, was hiding in a hole on a hill from the English. He watched a spider(蜘蛛) making a web. Bruce is said to have got confidence from this and to have gone on to beat the English. Edison, too, the inventor of the light bulb(电灯泡) , made hundreds of models that failed before he found the right way to make one.
So what? First, always think about your failure. What caused it? Were you in high spir¬it then? What can you change so that things will go right the next time?
Second, is the goal(目标) you are trying to reach the right one? Try to do some thinking about what your real goals may be. Think about this question: \"If I am successful in this, where will it get me?\" This may help to prevent failure in the things you shouldn't be doing anyway.
The third thing to remember about failure is that it's a part of life. Learn to \"live with yourself‖ even though you may have failed. Remember, \"You can't win them all. ― 51.Robert Bruce was mentioned in the passage to show that .
A. people who fail are not lonely B. animals can help people sometimes
C. nature will help us if we are hard-working D. confidence is important for one to be successful 52.Edison's example shows us that .
A. he liked to do other kinds of work B. he invented many kinds of light bulbs
C. failure may be a way towards success D. he was a man of many important inventions 53.If you are not sure about what success will get you, you'd better . A. change your goal B. go on with your goal
C. not care for that D. work even harder on your goal 54.It can be learned from the passage that .
A. one should try not to fail B. one's failure is another's success
C. one should take failures seriously D. one should learn lessons from failures 55.This passage is mainly about . A. two great men B. two sides of failure
C. ways to keep away from failure D. the right attitude(态度) towards failure 七、阅读表达 (共5小题，计10分) 阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

From old times, India has been a good friend to China.
Premier Wen Jiabao‘s visit to India this week takes this friendship to a new high. He said 2006 will be the ―Year of China-India Friendship‖. The two big Asian countries now work more closely on border problems, trade (贸易) and IT.
India is an interesting and mysterious country with a long history. Around 2,000 BC, Indian civilization(文明)，was born. It is one of the four oldest civilizations in the wor ld. India is also the birthplace of Buddhism(佛教).
A famous Chinese novel, ―A Journey to the West‖, is about a Chinese monk who tried very hard to learn about Buddhism from India. The book comes from a true story. Xuanzang, a Buddhist monk, was sent to India by the King of the Tang Dynasty. After many years, he brought back lots of Buddhist books. The name ―India‖ was first used by Xuanzang in his work.
Today, religion is still an important part of Indian culture. There are many religions there. Most Indian people believe in Hinduism (印度教).In India, cows are very special animals because Hinduism says they are holy (神圣的). So Indians don‘t sell or eat beef.
Like China, India is a developing country with a large population. It has about 1.03 billion people compared to China‘s 1.3 billion. More than two thirds of the Indians still live a poor life in the countryside. India has no birth control so its population is growing fast. By 2030, India could even have more people than China.

A rabbit is running into its hole. You may ask, ―What happened?‖
Well, when a rabbit sees something dangerous, it runs away. Its tail moves up and down as it runs. When other rabbits see this tail moving up and down, they run too. They know that there is danger. The rabbit has told them something without making a sound. It has given them a signal. Many other animals use this kind of language. When a bee found some food, it goes back to his home. It cannot tell the other bees where the food is by speaking to them, but it does a little
dance in the air. This tells the bees where the food is.
Some animals say things by making sounds. A dog barks, for example, when a stranger comes near. A cat purrs (发出呼噜呼噜的声音)when pleased. Some birds make several different sounds, each with its own meaning.
But human beings have something that no animals have –-- a large number of words about things, actions, feelings or ideas. We are able to give each other information, to tell or inform other people what is in our mind or how we feel. By writing words down we can remind ourselves of the things what have happened, or send messages to people far away. No animals can do this. No animals has the wonderful power of language.
No one knows how man learned to make words. Somehow he learned to make them. As centuries went by , he made more and more new words. This is what we mean b y language. People living in different countries made different kinds of words. Today there are about fifteen hundred different languages in the world. A very large English dictionary, for example, contains four or five hundred thousand words. But we do not know all these. The words we know are called vocabulary. We should try to make our vocabulary larger. Read as many books as possible. When we meet a new word, look it up in the dictionary. A dictionary is the most useful book.
66. When a rabbit gives the other rabbits a signal of danger, it _______. A. runs into its hole B.stops to move its tail

67. It has been proved that no animal is able to _______. A. give the others information

69. Generally speaking, what we mean by ―vocabulary‖ is _________. A. all the words that we know B.more and more words we use C.all the words we need

The word ―day‖ has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using ―day‖ to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using ―day‖ to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning(旋转) of the earth. At the equator(赤道) day and night are sometimes the same length. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 in the morning and sets at 6 in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted(倾斜) toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere(半球) gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than night. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.

You speak, write a letter, make a telephone. Your words carry a message. People communicate with words. Do you think you can communicate without words? A smile on your face shows you are happy or friendly. Tears in your eyes tell others that you are sad.
When you put up your hands in class, the teacher knows you want to say something or ask questions. You shake your head, and people know you are saying \"No\". You nod and people know you are saying \"Yes\". Other things can also carry messages. For example, a sign at the bus helps you to know which bus to take. A sign on the door helps you where to go in or out. Have you ever thought that there are a lot of signs around you and that you receive messages from them all the time? People can communicate in many other ways. An artist can use his drawing to tell beautiful mountains, about the blue sea and many other things. Books are written to tell about all the wonderful things in the world and also about people and their ideas. Books, magazines, TV, radio and films all help us communicate with others. They can help us to know what is going on in the world and what other people are thinking about. 54. People communicate ________. A.with words only B.in many different ways

What do people do with their old, out-of-date but still useful computers? Most people don‘t know what to do with them. Many old computers are put away in homes. Many more are simply thrown out with the rubbish.
Finally, some companies are thinking of ways to bring down the number of old computers. Sony has agreed to help recycle old Sony products(产品). Dell, Hewlett-Packard and other companies now also take back some old computers.
In some countries, laws are being passed, too. Computer compan ies will have to collect and recycle their used products. And 70% of computer waste must be recycled. The idea behind the laws is that computer companies themselves should pay the cost. That will encourage them to make computers that are easier and cheaper to repair and upgrade(升级).
Yet while many people are throwing away good computers, others cannot afford them at all. Hundreds of organizations are working to solve this problem. They collect and repair old computers. Some also teach others how to repair computers.
The computers then go to schools, charities and people who need them. Giving a used computer to one of these organizations can turn one person‘s rubbish into someone else‘s useful things—and cut down on waste, too.

Thanksg iving Day was near. The first grade teacher, Miss Rainbow, ask her class to draw a picture of something that they thank for.
Just as the teacher th ought, most of her students drew something like turkey, pumpkins and other traditional things of the season.
But Douglas made a different kind of picture. Douglas was a different kind of boy. He was weak and unhappy. Usually when other children played, Douglas stood close by her side. She could feel his sadness and loneliness. When asked to draw a picture of something for which he was thankful, he drew a hand. Nothing else, just an empty hand.
His special picture woke up the imagination of his classmates. Whose hand could it be? One child guessed it was the hand of a farmer, because farmers raise turkeys. Another said it was from a police
officer, because the police protected people. The teacher went to Douglas‘ desk and asked him whose hand it was. The little boy looked away and said, ―It‘s yours, Miss Rainbow.

Imagine Los Angeles without cars. Every Sunday, major roads in the city were closed to cars. And people were invited to spend time riding on the roads. It sounds like impossible in such a car-heavy city. But a group called cicLAvia wants to make it come true. In the group, there are bicycle lovers, transportation experts(专家) and artists. They want to change busy Los Angeles roads into large bike lanes every Sunday to create public space that joins every neighborhood in the city together.
―Air pollution is terrible and children become heavier and heavier, but it‘s difficult to make people get out of their cars. People really need exercise, but building new parks for people to exercise can be much too expensive. So we are thinking about using the space we have already had——our roads.‖ said a member of cicLAvia.
Although it seems like a great challenge in such a city, the members of cicLAvia are very confident. They have got the support from the Mayor. They are trying to make the car-free day successful in Los Angeles. 66. Why is Los Angeles considered a dangerous city for bike rider? ___________________________________________________________ 67.

In the past twenty years, riding bicycles has become increasingly popular among people of all ages. Bicycles have long played an important part in the lives of American youths.

on their bicycles. It is also wise to ride in single line on busy streets and to walk bicycles across the busy intersections (交叉路口). By following these rules, bicycle riders will not only stay healthy but also be safe.
In one recent year, the National Safely Council reported that 34 thousand bicycle riders were hurt in highway accidents. In that same year, another six hundred riders were killed. Since the introduction of crash helmets (头盔) in 1980, the number of injuries (伤者) and deaths from bicycling accidents had gone down. Today, more and more riders realize the dangers of bicycling. They arc wearing helmets and paying closer attention to cycling rules.

After a serious earthquake happened, a father left his wife safely at home and rushed to his son‘s school, only to find that the building where his son studied had collapsed and looked like a pancake.
He was shocked. He didn‘t know what he should do for a while, then he remembered the words he had said to his son, ―No matter what happens, I‘ll always be there for you! ‖And tears began to fill his eyes. He started digging through the ruins (废墟).
As he was digging, other helpless parents and the firemen arrived and tried to pull him off the ruins, saying, ―It‘s too late! They‘re all dead! There‘s nothing you can do! ‖ To them he replied with one line, ―Are you going to help me now? ‖ And then he kept on digging.
No one helped, however. He went on alone be¬cause he needed to know for himself: ―Is my boy alive or is he dead? ‖ He dug for eight hours. . . 12 hours. . . 24 hours. . . 36 hours. . . then, in the 39th hour, he pulled back a rock and heard his son‘s words. He shouted his son‘s name, ―ARMAND! ‖ He heard back, ―Dad!?! It‘s me, Dad! I told the other kids not to worry. I told them that if you were alive, you‘d save me and when you saved me, they‘d be saved. You promised, ‗No matter what happens, I‘ll always be there for you!‘ You did it, Dad! ‖
―What‘s going on in there? How is it? ‖ the father asked.
―There are 14 of us left out of 33, Dad. We‘re frightened, hungry, thirsty and thankful you‘re here. When the building fell down, it made a triangle (三角) , and it saved us. ‖ ―Come out, boy! ‖

Idioms are phrases and sentences that do not mean exactly what they say. Even if you know the meaning of each word you see or hear, you may not understand the idiom because you don‘t understand the culture behind it.
For example, if an American boy asks his mother what‘s for dinner tomorrow, she may say ―I‘ll play it by ear‖, that means she doesn‘t have plans for dinner and she will decide later. ―Play by ear‖ used to mean playing music using the sheet music, but now people often use it when they‘re not talking about music. There‘re many idioms in English. If you learn to use them, your English will be more vivid and colorful. English idioms are more common in spoken English. They can be difficult to remember sometimes. Next time when you hear somebody saying to you, ―Give me a hand‖, you don‘t necessarily stretch out your hand to him/her, but you do need to be helpful. And when the situation is out of hand, you usually can do very little to manage all that. What about a green hand? It‘s not about the color of your hand! You‘re a green hand when you are very new at your work and don‘t have much experience. If you and your partner always work together hand in glove, you two definitely work together very well. Can you guess the meanings of some common English idioms to do with parts of your body? 51. An idiom is _______.
A. a phrase or a sentence that means exactly what the words say
B. a phrase or a sentence that doesn‘t mean exactly what every word says C. so difficult that nobody can understand D. something to do with parts of your body
52. If a mother says ―I‘ll play it by ear‖ to talk about the dinner, she means _______. A. she will cook dinner while listening to music at the same time B. she doesn‘t hear what others are talking about.
C. she will play music using the sheet music instead of cooking dinner D. She doesn‘t have plans for dinner and will decide later
53. When one says ―Can you give me a hand?‖, he means _______. A. he needs to hold your hand. B. he works well with you
C. he needs your help D. he is a new comer and can‘t help with the situation 54. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?
A. People use English idioms more in spoken English than in written English. B. To understand the culture behind an idiom is important in understanding the idiom.
C. Idioms make your English more vivid and colorful so they are easy to remember. D. You may not understand an idiom even though you know the meaning of each word.
55. Here are 4 common English idioms to do with parts of your body and their meanings. Can you match them?
1) to learn something by heart a. to depend on oneself 2) to have sticky fingers b. to know something very well 3) to stand on one‘s own feet c. to do something secretly 4) to go behind someone‘s back d. to have the habit of stealing A. badc B. bdac C. cbad D.cdba

He learned a new word every day while brushing his teeth. Another student used the time to remember biology terms while practicing running.

When I was growing up in America, I was ashamed of my mother‘s Chinese English. Because of her English, she was often treated unfairly. People in department stores, at banks, and at restaurants did not take her seriously, pretended not to Understand her, or even acted as if they did not hear her.
My mother has realized the disadvantages of her English as well. When I was fifteen, she used to have me call people on phone to pretend I was she. I was forced to ask for information or even to yell at people who had been rude to her. One time I had to call her stockbroker (股票经纪人).I said in a voice that was not very convincing, ―This is Mrs.Tan.‖And my mother was standing beside me, whispering loudly, ―Why he doesn‘t send me the cheek. It‘s already two weeks late.‖
And then ,in perfect English I said : ―I‘m getting rather anxious .You agreed to send the check two weeks ago, but it hasn‘t arrived.‖ Then she talked more loudly. ―What does he want? I‘ll come to New York and say it in front of his boss.‖And so I turned to the stockbroker again, ―I can‘t accept any more excuses. If I don‘t receive the check immediately, I have to speak to your manager when I am in New York next week.‖
The next week we ended up in New York. While I was sitting there red-faced, my mother, the real Mrs.Tan, was shouting to his boss in her broken English.When I was a teenager, my mother‘s broken English embarrassed me. But now, I see it differently. To me, my mother‘s English is perfectly clear, perfectly natural. It is my mother tongue. Her language, as I hear it, is clear and direct. It was the language that helped me form the way I saw things, expressed ideas, and made sense of the world. 41.Why was the author‘s mother poorly served? A.She was unable to speak good English

When I was younger, bedtime was always my favourite part of the day. Wearing soft pajamas and with Lan, my stuffed monkey, in my arms, I felt no pressure at all.
I named Lan after my uncle when I compared Lan‘s long arms and legs to his. One night I ran up to Uncle Lan at a family party and told him I had named my monkey after him. His eyebrows wrinkled in confusion, then a chuckle(哈哈笑)escaped his lips. I guess he didn‘t understand how important it was to me. Even if Uncle Lan didn‘t think my monkey was special, I certainly did. I dressed him in a white baby nightgown. My mother thought that Lan was the best-dressed stuffed animal in the world. Yes, he was certainly a fashionable creature. The strong cologne(科隆香水)I used on him years ago makes him still smell ―pretty‖.
For a long time, Lan went everywhere with me. He was my best friend, and I told him everything. But when I turned twelve, I realized I was too old for stuffed animals. I thought people would think I was babyish, so I put him in the cupboard with the rest of my teddy bears and dolls. I begged him to understand why I was doing this, but at the same time I longed to talk to him again.
It took me several years to realize that it was OK to miss Lan. I know now that maturity(成熟)doesn‘t only mean growing up and taking on more responsibility. It also means holding on to your childhood and acting young sometimes.
Lan has been with me since I was six years old. Holding him in my arms connects me to my past and my present as I continue to grow and understand myself. 46. Which of the following is not true according to the text?

Every day when I enter the classroom, I will take a look at the wall beside my seat. You will find nothing special about this old wall if you just look at it. But for the students in my class, it is a special wall. Take a good look at it, and you will get to know the real feelings and thoughts of us, the 9th graders. In the middle of the wall, there is a big ―VICTORY‖. It was written in pencil. I guess it must have been written by someone who got a good mark in an exam.
A little higher above the formulas, there is a poem. It only has two sentences. It reads: All those sweet memories have disappeared. Like tears dropping in the heavy rain.
Oh! It must have been written at the end of the last semester in middle school. Classmates had to leave school and good friends had to part. What a sad poem!
If you ―explore‖ the wall more carefully, you will find many other interesting things, like a crying face, or a happy face, and other patterns(图案). There are still some patterns and letters that I can‘t understand, but they all show the feeling of the students who drew them.
For years, the wall has witnessed(目睹) all the things that have happened in the classroom. I don‘t know how it will be next year, two years from now, or even ten years from now. But I hope more smiling faces will be drawn on it.
46. There is ____ special on this wall.
A. something B. anything C. nothing D. everything
47. What was the ―VICTORY‖ written in? A. Chalk B. Pencil C. Pen D. Brush 48. When has the poem been written?
A. At the beginning of the last semester. B. At the end of the year. C. At the end of the last semester. D. At the beginning of the last month. 49. What‘s the meaning of the underlined word? A. 部分 B. 分离 C. 和好 D. 聚集 50. What‘s the title of the passage?
A. The Pictures of the Wall B. The Feelings of the Students C. The Patterns of the Classroom D. The Hope of the Writer B
No one is glad to hear that his body has to be cut open by a surgeon(外科医生) and part of it is taken out. Today, however, we needn‘t worry about feeling pain during the operation. The sick person falls into a kind of sleep, and when he awakes, the operation is finished. But these happy conditions are fairly new. It is not many years since a man who had to have an operation felt all its pain.
Long ago, operations had usually to be done while the sick man could feel everything. The sick man had to be held down on a table by force while the doctors did their best for him. He could feel all the pain if his leg or arm was being cut off, and his fearful cries filled the room and the hearts of those who watched. Soon after 1770, Josept Priestley discovered a gas which is now called ―laughing gas‖. Laughing gas became known in America. Young men and women went to parties to try it. Most of them spent their time laughing, but one man at a party, Horace Wells, noticed that people didn‘t seem to feel pain when they were using this gas. He decided to make an experiment on himself. He asked a friend to help him. Wells took some of the gas, and his friend pulled out one of Well‘s teeth. Wells felt no pain at all. As he didn‘t know enough about laughing gas, he gave a man less gas than he should have. The man cried out with pain when his tooth was being pulled out.
Wells tried again, but this time he gave too much of the gas, and the man died. Wells never forgot this terrible event.
51. It is ____ since a man being operated felt all the pain. A. a few more years B. not very long
C. few years D. two thousand years
52. Long ago, when the sick man was operated on, he ____. A. could feel nothing B. could not want anything C. could feel all the pain D. could do anything
53. Using the laughing gas, the people did not seem to ____. A. be afraid of anything B. feel pain C. want to go to the parties D. be ill
54. If a man took less laughing gas than he should have when an operation went on, he ____. A. felt nothing B. felt very comfortable C. still felt pain D. would die 55. One who took too much of the laughing gas ____. A. would laugh all the time B. would die
C. would never feel again D. would be very calm

At 2:30 on December 5, 1945, five US Navy (海军) training planes took off in clear weather from the base Lauderdale, Florida. The planes flew east over the coast--- and disappeared. The group was Flight 19, on a run between Florida and Bahamas. Taylor was the group leader. At about 3:40, Taylor reported that his compasses(指南针) were not reading properly. The other planes followed their leader aimlessly, firs east, then west, then northeast over the ocean, as Taylor tried to make sure of the direction by radio. Then, suddenly Taylor was heard to give orders to dive.
Quickly, two giant (very large) Martin seaplanes were sent up to search for Flight 19. Several hours later, the wind became strong and visibility(能见度)dropped. A return to base was ordered. But only one of the Martin seaplanes landed. Four days later, the Navy and Coast(海岸部队)combed a 100,000 square-mile area with more than 100 planes and ships. No sign was ever shown of the missing planes. Today, people have noted the disappearance of many ships and planes in the southwest part of the North Atlantic and began to call this area the Bermuda Triangle(百慕大三角).

E. Answer the question(根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(14分)
Quite a few people believe that the phases of the moon(月相)affect the behavior of human and other creatures. That is known as the lunar effect(月相效应). The lunar effect has been around for many centuries. The power of the moon is often used to explain a wide range of events, such as human insanity(精神错乱), and increases in violent crimes(暴力犯罪) and traffic accidents. According to some traditions, for example, before the coming of modern techniques, surgeons(外科医生) would refuse to operate on the full moon nights because of the increased risk of death of the patient through blood loss. The idea behind the lunar effect ahs even found its way into the news. For example, it has been said that the full moon may have influenced voters‘(选民)behavior in the 2000 U.S. presidential election(总统大选). Does the moon affect our behavior at all? Some people say it does. They say the moon causes the tides, so surely that the moon has an effect on people and we ourselves are full of the water, too. But scientists point out that the moon only affects unrestrained(不受控制的) waters, such as oceans. The water in our bodies isn‘t even comparable(可比较). And over fifty years of research has shown nothing to prove the existence(存在) of a causative(引起联系的) link between the moon and areas such as mental illness, birth rates, crime, or accidents.
There is an explanation for why people link the full moon to unusual human behavior. The reason is that people have selective memories(选择性记忆). When something unusual happens and there is a full moon, people might notice the moon and think it is to be blamed. 99. What do quite a few people believe?
100. What is used to explain wide range of events?
101. Why would surgeons refuse to operate on the full moon nights? 102. Do some people say that the moon affect our behavior?
103. Scientists hardly agree that the moon affect people‘s behavior, do they? 104. How long has the research on the lunar effect been done? 105. Why do people link the full moon to unusual human behavior? 答案：
99. They believe the phases of the moon. 100. The power of the moon.
101. Because they thought that it might increase the risk of death of the patients through blood loss. 102. Yes, they do. 103. No, they don't. 104. Over fifty years. 105. Because they have selective memories.

People say that the first chopsticks were used in China 5,000 years ago. The practice became popular in Korea, Vietnam and Japan. Today they are a symbol (象征) of Asian culture. Of Asian countries, Japanese have a day to celebrate them. August 4th is Chopsticks Day in Japan. The different cooking traditions of Asia lead to different kinds of chopsticks. For example, the Japanese use sharp chopsticks because they eat a lot of fish. Sharp chopsticks are good for picking the fish from the bones. Chopsticks are made from different kinds of material. Bamboo chopsticks are common because the material is easy to break apart and doesn‘t burn easily. People also use wood and bone for chopsticks. Some rich people had theirs made from precious metals. Many kings used silver chopsticks, for it was believed that they would turn black if there was poison (毒) in the food.
There are also many table manners connected with chopsticks. For example, never stick your chopsticks upright in your rice bowl or tap on your bowl with your chopsticks. People believe this is impolite to the host.

It‘s 2021. You feel sick, so you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you‘re thinking these days. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.
Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people believe in the way that they do, called psychologists, are starting to believe it. You know that your brain is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system (神经系统). Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel have an influence on the health of your body.
Stress (压力,紧张) is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody‘s life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we would never learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body‘s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.
When you feel stress, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素). Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heart beat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can‘t fight or run away from, so you don‘t use up all that adrenaline. It just stays inside you. And that‘s what can do something bad to you.
What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren‘t under so much stress. You can make a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can‘t change a stressful situation. Sometimes you don‘t even want to. A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful. 78. According to the passage, when you leave the hospital, the doctor gives you some medicine and _______ as well.
A. checks your fever B. looks at your throat
C. tells you the reasons of your illness D. advises you to practice thinking skills
79. Why do the scientists believe that the way you think may be the cause of your illness? A. Because your brain is a part of your body. B. Because you always think in a wrong way.
C. Because your nervous system is the most important.
D. Because the way you think has connection with the health of your body. 80. Which of the following is TRUE according the passage? A. You shouldn‘t go to the gym if you are under stress. B. One can do his homework to burn up adrenaline. C. Diseases and accidents are caused by stress.
D. Stress can sometimes be helpful.
81. A chemical called adrenaline can speed up ________. A. your breathing and heart beat B. your blood running C. your brain thinking D. your body relaxing
82. Which of the following can NOT reduce stress according to the passage? A. Making a plan about your homework. B. Asking a psychologist for help. C. Going to your family or friends for help. D. Eating some sweet food.
83. From the last sentence of this passage, we can know that ________. A. it‘s difficult to change a stressful situation B. it‘s not stressful when a good change take place C. a big change can also cause another stressful situation D. a stressful situation can‘t be changed without any effort 84. This passage mainly talks about _________. A. stress and illness B. the importance of thinking C. the advice on health D. the nervous system 答案：

A long time ago, Milton S. Hershey, the creator of the popular chocolate bars, was dipped in (浸入) warm chocolate. I know all about it. My grandfather was there!
At nineteen, Hershey opened a candy business in Philadelphia (费城). Although it failed, he tried again in several other cities and succeeded with Crystal A Caramels. But Hershey was not satisfied with it. He did
some experiments with chocolate and managed to sell his first chocolate bars in 1900. They were a great success. Three years later, Hershey built a factory to sell his chocolate bars.
Hershey was usually pleasant, kind and enjoyed a good joke. However, in his chocolate factory, he was serious with the workers. He was both respected and feared. His anger would burst out when things didn‘t go as he‘d expected, and workers would be fired (解雇) for mistakes.
My grandfather began working in the factory as a young man. His job was to push the vats (大桶) of warm chocolate to a storage area. To do this, he had to push the heavy vats up a ramp (斜坡) and across the walkway. One day, Hershey was taking a walk while my grandfather was pushing a vat of chocolate up the ramp. Suddenly, Hershey fell into the vat. Everyone else held their breath and ran up to pull him out. Grandfather was very frightened. Was he going to lose his job?
However, Hershey wasn‘t angry. He said something in a low voice. Then he smiled. ―It‘s not your fault, son,‖ he said. ―I need to watch where I‘m going.‖ He put some chocolate in his mouth. ―Mmm, that‘s good,‖ he said. Everyone laughed. Hershey kept walking with the dripping chocolate. And Grandfather kept his job.
Now when you enjoy the taste of ―Kisses‖ chocolate, do you think about the funny story of Mr. Hershey—my grandfather‘s father?
