One day a woman came into the store and bought some things. They added up to two dollars and six and a quarter cents.The bill was paid, and the woman was entirely satisfied. But the young storekeeper, not feelingquite sure as to the accuracy of his calculations, added up the things again. To his surprise he found thatit should have been but two dollars.“ I’ve made her pay six and a quarter cents more, ”said Abe, disturbed.It was an unimportant thing, and many clerks would have forgotten it, but Abe was too conscientious for that.“ The money must be paid back, ”he decided.At night, he closed the store, and walked to the home of his customer. He explained the matter, paid over the six and a quarter cents, and returned satisfied.Here is another story of young Lincoln’s strict honesty. A woman entered the store and asked for half a pound of tea. The young clerk weighed it out. This was the last sale of the day.The next morning, when beginning his duties, Abe discovered a four-ounce weight on the scales. It flashed upon him at once that he had used this in the sale of the previous night, and so, of course, given his customers short weight. I am afraid that there are many country merchants who would not have been much worried by this discovery. But Abe weighed out the balance of the half pound, shut up the store, and carried it to the defrauded customer. I think my young readers will begin to see that the name so often given, in later times to President Lincoln, of “Honest Old Abe, ”was well deserved. A man who begins by strict honesty in his youth is not likely to change as he grows older, and mercantile honesty is some guarantee of political honesty.21. We know from the text that Abe .A. charged less for the womanB. tricked the woman on purposeC. was careful and responsibleD. was confident of his calculations22. From the underlined sentence, we can see that the author .A. speak highly of Abraham LincolnB. learns how to succeed in the political fieldC. comes to understand the importance of honestyD. hopes to give readers some personal suggestions23. What does the author mainly intend to tell us?A. Better late than never.B. Honesty is the best policy.C. A good name is better than gold.D. Where there is a will there is a way.24. The author develops his idea mainly .A. by reasoningB. by making comparisonsC. by giving examplesD. by recalling what he had seenBThe Tropical Paradise HolidayWelcome to St Anna, our tropical paradise just off the coast of Latin America.

Departure time.CCotton farmers in some Indian villages are busily buying Coca-Cola and Pepsi, believing that the sugar in the fizzy(有泡沫的) drinks kills pests.Farmers say scientists advised them to mix pesticides with a sugary juice to control pests, and they found the mixture cheaper and more effective than pure chemicals—although soft drink makers and scientists dismissed the remarks. N. Hamunayya, who has become a famous person in his village in the southeastern state of Andhra Pradesh, said his crop survived an attack of pests which had resisted other pesticides. “We found that all the colas had uniform effect on pests. The pests became dead and fell to the ground, ”he said. He said the drinks had all the elements they needed : they were cheaper, sticky, fizzy, and attracted ants, which ate the young of the pests. But Thinupathi Reddy, assistant director of the Regional Agri-Research Station, Guntur, says tests had proved such results wrong. “We conducted some field trials on cotton crop at our research station. There was no obvious productivity or de struction of pests, ”he says.Statements from Pepsi and Coca-Cola said there was “ no scientific basis” for this practice. But their dealers are enjoying increasing sales. Mantan Wall, who sells soft drinks in 17 villages in the region, said sales rose up, thanks to the farmers. “ For the 10 days between August and September I had successful business. Instead of just 30 cases( each containing a dozen one-litre bottles) of cola, I started selling almost 200 cases, ”he said. “ We expected the sales to drop af ter the news over pesticide residues(残留) in the cola drinks. Now I have to keep extra supply for the cotton farmers, ”he said.In February, an Indian environment group made a report saying drinks made by Coca-Cola and Pepsi contained pesticides and called for tougher safety standards. The U. S firms strongly rejected the findings of the New Delhi-based Centre for Science and Environment and said their products were safe.28. The writer’ s purpose of writing this passage is to .A. tell an interesting incidentB. warn people that some drinks might be dangerous to healthC. suggest using Coca-Cola to kill pests.D. announce a new discovery of Coca-Cola29. The drink makers would not accept the fact that their drinks could kill pests because .A. they thought it went against scienceB. they believed that the farmers didn’t tell the truthC. they might fear that it could bring harm to their businessD. they insisted that no poison was left in their products30. The underlined part in Para. 3 “ this practice” probably refers to .A. testing the mixtureB. selling more drinks in IndiaC. mixing the drinks with the pesticideD. attracting ants to eat the young pests31. The drinks can kill pests because .A. there is some pesticide left in themB. they are sticky and fizzyC. they have elements that kill pestsD. they made the pesticide more effectiveDCertainly, a well-rounded education is the foundation from which all of us spring forth. I am grateful to the many incredible teachers who have inspired me to do greater things, and have fired my enthusiasm for everlasting learning!I have also been honored to have the most amazing teachers in all of my children’ s lives. These are extraordinary people who not only teach our children, but love them, challenge them, and provide an environment where a child learns how to learn.But, sometimes I wonder if the outline of our educational plan is lacking something. I watched the movie Easy A with my older daughter. The main character’ s parents were loving, supportive, and built great confidence in their daughter and developed her ability to handle her own problems.There was a scene where the mother was speaking to the younger child and he announced that he received an “ A” on his spelling test. She replied, “ That’s great, honey, but everything has spell check these days. ”It was funny —but TRUE!I don’t mean that we shouldn’t teach our children how to spell, but maybe some of our time should be spent educating them about the dangers of posting things on Facebook.Maybe we might want to spend time showing them how real life works—the credit card isn’t free money— you will have to pay it back at sometime. Oh, and get this—they charge you for borrowing that money. Perhaps, we should spend some time on interpersonal relationships. I worry that our kids do not know how to relate to one another.Choosing a career is a daunting task. My daughter is in her second year in college and has changed her major twice. It’s not that she didn’t know what she wanted to do. What she “ wanted to do”and the degree she chose did not match.I have learned many college students do not know what they want to do because they haven’t seen what it looks like in the real world. Being a journalist in the real world looks very different from writing stories. Maybe if we spent some time exposing them to real life experience— maybe two or three courses in areas of interest in high school that give them a “ feel’for what that particular field would look like, they might be better prepared. I do not know the solution, but it seems that it should at least be a topic of discussion.32. Why does the author mention the movie Easy A?A. To prove the importance of book learning.B. To show the parents’ ignorance of spelling.C. To lead to the topic he is going to talk about.D. To share with the readers his feeling about the movie.33. The author believes that .A. students need to focus on the skills in learningB. parents and school should be consistent in educationC. his daughter is smart enough to make her own choiceD. courses in areas of interest in high schools will benefit students34. The underlined word “ daunting” in Paragraph 6 probably meansA. specificB. discouragingC. rewardingD. regular35. What is mainly discussed in the passage?A. Schools should prepare students for the real life.B. What students learn in school should be practiced in life.C. Life experience is of greater importance than school education.D. Students should spend more time discussing practical problems.第二节(共5 小题;每小题2 分,满分10 分)根据短文内容,从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项｡选项中有两项为多余选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑｡Tips on buying outdoor solar lightsAs solar lighting is becoming useful for homes, many different such outdoor lights can now be found in supermarkets. Here are some helpful tips for customers.Does your area receive enough direct lighting?36 So you shouldn’t even give it a thought if you live in an area that doesn’t get much sunlight. These lights need di rect sunlight, or they just won’t work very well.37The expensive one usually means good quality. Choosing the cheapest ones will result in many problems. For once, it’s best to buy more expensive lights of high quality. 38 At least you should know the difference between a $ 10 light and a $ 45 light.Buy lights that require less installation(安装) .Most solar lights are simply driven into the ground. Therefore, you shouldn’t deal with the difficulty in installing a system that involves anything mor e than that. 39 You don’t need to buy lights that require half an hour each to plant into the ground because that’s just a waste of time.Make sure the lights can store enough energy.Different solar lights can store different amounts of energy. 40 Therefore, you should choose lights that are able to store enough energy to last for a few hours or more, at least those that will last from nightfall throughout most of the night and part of the morning.第三部分:英语知识运用(共两节,满分45 分)第一节:完形填空(共20 小题;每小题 1. 5 分,满分30 分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后所给的A､B､C､D 四个选项中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项,并在答题卡上将该项涂黑｡People often lose their driving license because of driving after drinking.

Second, ants think about winter and summer. They are always gathering in their winter food in the middle of summer and they are making 65 ( prepare)for the long cold winter.

During the winter, they remind 67 ,“ This won’ t last long and we’ll soon be out of here. ”On the first warm day, the ants are out. If it 68 ( turn)cold again, they’l l dive back down. But they come out again if it is warm. Last, how much will an ant gather during the summer to prepare for the winter?

The main problem was that I always thought in Chinese and tried to translate into my own language everything which I came across while I was reading. My teacher advised myself to keep a diary. I followed his advices and put down 100 words or so each day.Soon I began to enjoy talk to myself as I was learning to express myself with simple English.

Nowadays, students can get convenient access to much information they need on the Internet.On the one hand, students find it convenient to surf the Internet for useful information, where problems can be solved with the help of several clicks. On the other hand, turning to the Internet too much may cause students to use their heads less. As a result, it’s likely that students will not develop their potnetials to the full, which is not beneficial to their overall development.In my opinion, it is vital that students should be aware of the advantages and disadvantages. They should know clearly when and where to turn to the Internet. Most importantly, they should learn to be creative.。
