There was a famous church(教堂) in London. It was 110 meters high. The center of the church was like a bell. The ceiling of the church was painted by a famous artist. A platform (平台) was built so that the artist could put up a ladder on it and paint the ceiling. The platform was about 70 meters over the ground.
One day the artist was working hard and had nearly finished one popular corner of the ceiling. Also on the platform was his assistant（助手）, who was mixing paints. The artist stepped back so that he could see how his work was doing. To have a better look at his painting, he stepped back again. Suddenly, his assistant shouted, picked up a small bowl of paint and started to paint the artist's work on the top. The artist was very angry and rushed forwards to stop him.“What do you think you are doing?” he shouted angrily. “Are you mad(疯的)?” His assistant replied, “I saw you walking backwards to have a better look at your painting. But you didn't notice that you had reached the very edge(边缘) of the platform. You were in great danger. I wanted to make you move forwards. If I had not made you run forwards, you would have fallen backwards off the edge of the platform.”
36．The story happened in _______.

Life comes in a package. This package includes happiness and sadness, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in life teach us new lessons and make us a better person. With each passing day we learn to deal with various situations.
Love plays a main role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel(残忍的). In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with love and care. They teach us about what is right and wrong, good and bad. But we don’t always care about it. It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands others’ feelings. Happiness can bring people a peaceful mind. No mind is happy without peace. Sadness is the cause of the death of a loved one or the failure. But all of these
things will pass away.
Failure is the way to success. It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Success brings in money, pride and self-respect. Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. Life teaches us not to despair even in the darkest hour, because after every night there is a day.
Life teaches us not to regret(后悔) over yesterday, for it has passed and is out of our control. Tomorrow is unknown, for it could either be bright or dark. So the only choice is to work hard today, so that we will enjoy a better tomorrow. 41．We usually have to accept _______ if we want to be successful.
A． love B． failure C． sadness D． hope 42．In which section can readers probably read the passage?
A． Business. B． Travel
C． Lifestyles. D． Education.
43．What does the word “despair” mean in Chinese?
A．颓废 B．遗憾 C．悲伤 D．绝望44．What’s the meaning of the last sentence of the whole passage?
A．When choosing between “today” and “tomorrow”,you’d better enjoy tomorrow.
B． If you work hard today, you’ll have a better life in the future.
C． What you can only choose is to work hard today rather than tomorrow. D． The only choice you make is that you should enjoy a better tomorrow. 45．What’s the purpose of the passage?
A． To encourage people to love each other.
B． To tell people how to deal with happiness and sadness.
C． To give readers some information about life.
D． To remind people to keep having a beautiful dream.
任务型阅读（10分）（共10题，每题1分）
阅读下面短文，根据所读内容，在文章后第1～10小题的空格里填入一个最恰当的单词。

注意：每个空格只填一个单词。

Now students’ English handwriting gets worse and worse. Their teachers worry
about that. Is your English handwriting beautiful? If not, here are four steps that really work.
Use paper with lines
Using paper with lines can keep you writing straight instead of up or down when you write English words or sentences. Those lines on the paper can help you to write words in the right size. Be sure to fill the lined space completely. And remember to write those capital(大写) letters properly.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. For some kids, going a little slowly makes the handwriting clear. If you write too fast, it’s hard for you to stop where you should, and even worse, you may make more mistakes. Hold your pencil correctly
When you hold your pencil correctly, writing is much easier. Some kids press down really hard when they write. That makes the handwriting not nice. Try to be relaxed and don’t hold the pencil so hard. Let your writing appear nice and clean. If you do so, people will guess you are a student with a good habit. Draw more pictures
Drawing can make your handwriting better. You need to use the skills to control your pencil better when you are drawing pictures. Even though（即使）you have no chance to draw at school, you can practice by yourself at home. Handwriting is very important. Imagine（想像）you are a world-famous movie star or a well-known sports player, what do you do when your fans run up to you? Give them your autographs（亲笔签名）, of course!
