My heart was in the right place, but I couldn’t always follow the rules. I played many tricks on my schoolmates. Once, I even pulled a girl’s hair on the school bus to get her attention. As a result, I was repeatedly sent to the office of the principal(校长). Although I hated goingthere, I did not hate the principal, Mr. Ratcliff.Mr. Ratcliff was a kind, elderly man. When he spanked(打屁股)me for putting some ants into a classmate’s pencil box, it didn’t hurt at all, but it did hurt my feelings. I thought so much of him and moments like that seemed to prove I was hopelessly bad.When I got called to Mr. Ratcliff’s office for the sixth time, I had no idea what I had done. I felt disappointed as I walked down there. I went into his office, sat down, and looked at the floor. Then he said the last thing I expected to hear:“Kevin, I’ve heard you’ve been behaving really well lately. I want you to know how proud I am of you, and I just called you down to my office to give you a peppermint.”“Really?”I was surprised.“Yes. Now you can take that peppermint and go back to class.”I carried the peppermint with me as if it was a gold coin. When I got into my classroom, I bragged(吹嘘)to my classmates about my turnaround, excitedly. I wasn’t so bad after all.Mr. Ratcliff was really kind. He made me realize that I was just a kid who had problems with behavior. He bought some peppermints and took the time to notice me when I got something—anything—right. Mr. Ratcliff gave me some hope by giving me some love. I will just remember him for the rest of my life.1.In his seventh grade, the writer .A.hated the principalB.had problems behavingC.always followed the rulesD.often helped his classmates2.How did the writer feel when he went to the principal’s office for the sixth time?A.Lonely.B.Excited.C.Confident.D.Disappointed.3.The sixth time the writer went to the principal’s office, he got .A.a peppermintB.a model busC.a pencil boxD.a coin4.The writer will always remember Mr. Ratcliff, because the principal .A.talked with him in the officeB.played games with himC.expected him to be a teacherD.gave him some hope and loveCWhat is the difference between a fear(害怕)and a phobia?You might have a fear of dogs if you have ever been bitten by one. However, if you avoid walking down streets where you think there might be a dog, you may have aphobia, which is a strong unnatural fear. If the fear has started to change a person’s life, he or she probably has a phobia. Different surveys say that between 10 and 80 percent of us have at least one phobia.You can probably guess what some of the most“popular”phobias are. Flying may be the safest way to travel, but many people are scared of doing it. Fear of heights is also very common. For example, Spider-Man actor Tobey Maquire can’t stand high places. However, Tobey is not afraid of spiders that most people are afraid of. Rupert Grint, who plays in the Harry Potter mo vies, is in fear of spiders.“In one scene of the movie, we come into the large spider’s hole, and there we meet a spider that is the size of an elephant and really scary because he has these hairs. I’m really scared of spiders,”he said..For example, cats are very cute for most of us, but not for such powerful people in history as Alexander the Great and Napolean Bonaparte. Actor Nicole Kidman says,“I’m not scared of snakes or spiders, but I’m scared of butterflies. Sometimes when I came home from school, the biggest butterfly you had ever seen would be just sitting on our front gate. I would climb over the fence, move slowly to the side of the house, or do anything to avoid having to go through the front gate.”Clowns(小丑)are not so funny for actor Johnny Depp, whose childhood memory of the“painted faces and fake smiles”still makes him scared. Some other weird(怪诞的)phobias, including chewing gum, old doors or windows and footsteps, also fear some famous persons, such as Orah Winfred, Billy Bob and Sigmund Fred.1.Rupert Grint who acted in Harry Potter is scared of.A.dogsB.snakesC.spidersD.butterflies2.Which of the following behaviors can be a phobia for these persons?A.Cathy dislikes keeping a pet cat at home.B.Victor cannot sleep well before the exams.C.Linda feels very tired climbing the mountains.D.Doris shouts crazily whenever hearing footsteps at night.3.Which of the following is the best for“”in Paragraph 3?A.Some people have phobias that are more unusualB.No research has been reported what causes the phobiasC.Doctors say that most phobias can be treated successfullymon things are much easier to cause phobias4.We can infer(推断)from the passage that.A.people are born with phobiasB.phobias are common in our daily lifeC.famous people are easier to get phobiasD.phobias do not influence people’s life at allDDo you know what you’d like to be when you grow up? It takes most people many years to find this out. For the young artist Alexandra Nechita, it never really seemed to be a question. From the day she began drawing at the age of two, she was an artist.Alexandra Nechita was born in Romania in 1985 and moved to California when she was still a baby. As a little child, she loved colouring in her colouring books. Her parents hoped she could spend more time playing with other children, so they took away her colouring books. Alexandra began drawing her own pictures and colouring them in.By the time Alexandra was seven years old, she had begun painting with oil paints. When Alexandra took a local art class, her teacher was amazed at the young artist’s unusual style of painting. Alexandra’s work was similar in some ways to the paintings by famous artists like Picasso. These artists did not use a realistic style of painting. They allowed their imaginations to play an important part in their work. The interesting thing was that little Alexandra had never seen the work of these artists. People called her “Little Picasso”. This was a great honour, but Alexandra’s style of painting was all her own.Alexandra’s first public show was held at a Los Angeles public library when she was only eight years old. People were amazed at how young Alexandra was, but mostly they loved her imaginative artwork. It did not take long for Alexandra and her work to become famous. She appeared on television programs and in newspapers and magazines all over the world. The sale of a single piece can earn the young artist thousands of dollars. But that is not why Alexandra creates artwork. She just cannot imagine doing anything else that would bring her such joy and satisfaction.Today, Alexandra is a full-time artist. She also works to help support the arts in schools. Alexandra is a strong believer in the power of art as a tool of communication and a bridge to building peace throughout the world.1.When did Alexandra begin drawing pictures?A.At the age of eight.B.At the age of seven.C.At the age of two.D.In the year of 1985.2.Alexandra was called “Little Picasso” because .A.she learned to paint from PicassoB.her style of painting was like Picasso’sC.she was one of Picasso’s big fansD.her style of painting was unusual3.What can we learn from the underlined sentence in Paragraph 4?A.Only painting can make her so happy and satisfied.B.Only money can make her so happy and satisfied.C.Anything can make her feel happy and satisfied.D.Nothing can make her feel happy and satisfied.4.According to the passage, which word can best describe Alexandra?A.Polite.B.Generous.C.Patient.D.Creative.EChip was in first grade when I arrived at his school as a counselor(辅导员). It was shocking to me that he was described as an angry, uncontrollable and evil(惹人厌的)boy. How could such a little boy, after being in school only one year, be considered “evil”?Over the next several months, I came to know Chip well enough to see that he was neither evil nor uncontrollable.But, one day, Chip threw a chair at his teacher and was sent to my office. I asked him what made him do this. He replied that his teacher hated him. He felt there was no way to ever get her to like him. I asked him if he would tell his teacher this. He nodded, and we called her into my office.When the teacher came,.He then said that he knew he was a very, very bad boy, and he didn’t think anyone could ever like him. His teacher listened to him with heartfelt compassion. Then she gave him a big warm hug, telling him she didn’t hate him at all and, actually, she cared very much about him. Only sometimes Chip’s behavior really scared her. It was clear to both Chip and me that she really meant it.I put my left arm on his shoulders and the right hand on his heart. I told him how wonderful and lovely I saw him to be. I praised how special and brave he was to express his hurt feelings.As I was speaking to him,his whole body came to rest on my right hand next to his heart. It was a moment in time unlike anything I had experienced before. From then on, I’m pleased to see his behavior improved through therest of school years.A child’s mind is clear and sensitive(敏感的).He receives whatever others say without protection. It is as easy to consider someone hopeless as it is to consider him able in his own special way.1.The first paragraph mainly tells us.A.Chip was very popular at schoolB.the teacher didn’t care about Chip at allC.Chip had no way to get others to like himD.the writer thought differently about Chip2.Which of the following is the best sentence to fill in the blank in the passage?A.she couldn’t control her feelingsB.I advised her to be more patientC.Chip became angry and crazy againD.I encouraged Chip to express his feelings3.The underlined sentence in Paragraph 5 shows that Chip.A.accepted the writerB.wanted a restC.was quite afraidD.felt a little nervous4.What can we learn from the passage?A.No pains, no gains.B.Love me, love my dog.C.Expect higher, act better.D.Where there is a will, there is a way.第二部分四、语法填空（共10小题, 每小题1分，满分10分）用所给单词的适当形式填空，未提供单词的限填一词，将答案写在答题卷上。
