You dial the number, and then you forget it! Your short-term memory last about 30 seconds. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it. This information is in your long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years.Why do you forget things sometimes? There are several reasons. An important reason for forgetting something is that you didn‘t learn it well in the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and soon you forget their names. You hear the names but you do not learn them, so you forget them.You can help yourself remember better. Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. You can do this if you practice the new information for more times.66. According to the passage, you forget the telephone number that you don’t call often because________.A. the telephone number is too longB. the telephone number is very strangeC. you use your short-term memory to remember itD. you look it up in the telephone book67.

Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Do you talk with your parents about your problems or the day’s events? Do you want to improve your family’s communication skills? Here are three simple ways.Insist on family mealsIn addition to bringing your parents together for a full day’s activities on weekends, you should insist on a few family meals every week. Use the family dinner table as an opportunity to share some interesting things that happened in the school, your pressure before exams or your favorite teacher with your parents.Remember the L/T rule (listen and talk)When trying to improve any relationship, listening is far more important than talking. So when it comes to family communication, listen four times longer than you speak. Think twice about what you want to say before you say it Sometimes your first reaction (反应) is angry, especially to bad news. Do your best to avoid this, and if you do, apologize to your parents quickly.Create family traditionsSetting up a family movie night, attending social services or creating special holiday presents are all examples of family traditions. Family members come to expect these traditions, seeing them as opportunities to come together as a unit. If your family is short on traditions, there’s no reason you don’t start some now. Why not go shopping with your mother or play basketball with your father once a week? Or you can prepare a special gift on mother’s Day.All family members develop effective(有效的)communication styles that can improve the quality of the relationships. Why not start talking today?Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Last Sunday, the sky was grey when I woke up. The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldn’t stay home just because of rain.At around 8:00am I had a doctor’s appointment. It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctor’s office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had togo about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a school, where I could stay until the rain stopped. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was flooded, and my car stopped in the middle.“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers(车灯). I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was raining. My best decision that day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter(躲避处).Before long, a tow truck(拖车) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I really needed my car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car out and drove me home.Although many years have passed, I still remember that stormy day and the warm-hearted stranger clearly.81. What did the author do at around 8:00am?

The pictures were all bright.The boy sitting next to me was painting a heart, but it was dark and lifeless. It didn’t have bright colors that his fellow 39 had used.I thought maybe he took the only paint that was left and it just happened to be dark. But when I asked him about it, he said his 40 was that color. I asked him why and he told me that he was sick. He looked 41 into my eyes and said, “There is nothing anyone can do that will help.”I certainly understood why he was sad. I said, “It isn’t 42 that there is nothing anyone can do to help. Other people may not be able to make you 43 better but we can do things, like giving bear hugs, which will help when you are feeling sad.” I also told him that I’d be happy to give him one so that he could see what I meant.

He wonders Can I communicate with Americans? Can they understand me? Learners of English often ask What are the differences between British English and American English? How important are these differences?Certainly! There are some differences between British and American English. There are a few differences in grammar. For example, speakers of British English say “in hospital” and “have a pen?” Americans say “in the hospital!” and “Do you have a pen?”. Pronunciation is sometimes different. Americans usually sound theirs in words like “bird”and “hurt”. Speakers of British English do not sound theirs in these words. There are differences between British English and American English in spelling and vocabulary. For example, “colour”and “honour”are British English, “color” and “honor” are American.These differences in grammar, pronunciation, spelling, and vocabulary are not important, however. For the most part, British and American English are the same language.( )56. According to the passage, a student who is learning to speak American English might be afraid that ________.A.

According to this passage, British people and Americans have ________ difficulty inunderstanding each other.A. littleB. muchC. someD. greatBWhen the musical sound rings you, you immediately reach for your pocket ready to have a chat. But although you probably use it all the time, have you ever thought about the manners related to talking on the phone? If you haven’t, here are some tips to guide you.●Always give the person you are calling plenty of time to get to the phone before you hang up. If the person who answers is not the one you want, give your name and ask if you may speak to the person you want.●Think about the time you call people. Try not to call too early in the morning (before about 900) or too late at night (after about 930). Also try not to call at mealtimes.●If you go by plane to visit your relatives at Christmas, remember to follow airline instructions. Cell phone must be turned off as soon as the plane doors are closed and remain so until the doors open again on arrival.●When you’re face to face with someone, do not talk on the phone. It is rude to be on the phone when a waiter is trying to take your order in a restaurant, or when you are returning the shoes you have just been trying on in a shop. Finish any face-to-face business before taking a call. Continuing to use the phone while nodding to the person in front of you is quite impolite.●When in a restaurant with your friends, keep phone conversations short. Make a call only if it is important. Practice speaking in a low voice. If no one turns to your way, you’ve got it.●If you go to a theatre, a concert or a cinema, consider the other people around you. Check that your phone is “off” before you enter. If you are expecting a very important call, put your phone on “vibrate”(振动) and run for the exit as soon as you feel it. If you forget both “off”and “vibrate” and your phone rings, don’t answer it, turn it off straight away.( )61. Which is TRUE according to the passage above?A. You may call people anytime you like.B. You may talk loudly on the phone at dinner in the restaurant.C. You may keep on talking on the phone while greeting somebody.D. You may call people as soon as you get on the plane, but not after the doors are closed. ( )62. We may infer from the tips that ______.A. some people didn’t pay much attention to manners while making cell phone calls.B. You must hang up quickly if the person you are calling is not the one you want.C. calling people too early or too late is not polite.D. almost everyone has got a cell phone.( )63. What does the underline sentence “… you’ve got it.” mean in the passage?A. You have succeeded in making a call without disturbing others.B. You have made the phone call short and interesting.C. You have got the message you are waiting for.D. You have made a phone call secretly.( )64. From the tips given above, we can decide the writer must agree with the opinion that ______.A. like the saying “clothes make a man”, nowadays cell phones make a manB. as the old saying goes, money talks, nowadays cell phones talkC. the way we use the cell phones tells what we are likeD. we are what cell phones we use( )65. From the tips given above, how do you consider the other people around you at a theatre?A. Talk with them and make friends with them.B. If you forget both “off” and “vibrate” and your phones rings, answer it immediately.C. If it is an important call, you can answer it on your seat.D. Check that your phone is not turned on before you enter.C.We are all busy talking about and using the Internet, but how many of us know the history of the Internet?Many people are surprised when they find that the Internet was set up in the 1960s. At that time, computers were large and expensive. Computer networks didn’t work well. If one computer in the network broke down, then the whole network stopped. So a new network system had to be set up. It should be good enough to be used by many different computers. If part of the network was not working, information could be sent through another part. In this way, computer network system would keep on working all the time.At first, the Internet was only used by government, but in the early 1970s, universities, hospitals, and banks were allowed to use it too. However, computers were still expensive and the Internet was difficult to become cheaper and easier to use. Scientists also developed software that made “surf ing” the Internet more convenient.Today it is easy to get-on-line and millions of people use the Internet every day. Sending e-mails is more and more popular among students.The Internet has now become one of the most important parts of people’s life.( )66. The Internet has a history of ______ years.A. more than 40B. less than 30C. more than 60D. more than 50 ( )67. Scientists set up a new network system to ______.A. make the computer cheaperB. use the computer widelyC. make the computer go wellD. develop new software( )68. When did the Internet begin to be used in hospitals?A. In the 1960s.B. In the 1970s.C. In the 1980s.D. In the 1990s. ( )69. In the 1960s, if one computer in the network broke down, the whole network ______.A. still workedB. stopped to workC. stopped working.D. began to work ( )70. The best title of the passage is ______.A. How to Surf the InternetB. How to Use the InternetC. When was the Internet set upD. The History of the InternetPart IV Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passage.Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Maybe you are an average student. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily so, however. Anyone can become a better student if he or she wants to. Here’s how.1).Plan your time carefully. When you plan your week, you should make a list of things that you have to do. After making this list, you should make a schedule of your time. Don’t forget to set aside enough time for entertainment. A weekly schedule may not solve all your problems, but it will force you to realize what is happening to your time.2).Find a good place of to study. Look around the house for a good study area. Keep this space, which may be a desk or simply a corner of your room, free of everything but study materials. No games, radios, or television! When you sit down to study, concentrate on the subject.3) Make good use of your time in class. Listen to everything the teachers say. Really listening in class means less work later. Taking notes will help you remember what the teacher says.4). Study regularly. When you get home from school, go over your notes. Review the importantpoints that your teacher mentioned in class. If you know what your teacher is going to discuss the next day, read that material. This will help you understand the next class. If you do these things regularly, the material will become more meaningful, and you will remember it longer.5). Develop a good attitude about tests. The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. They help you remember your new knowledge. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t be over worried.There are other methods that might help you with your studying. You will probably discover many others after you have tried these.Section B (10 marks)Directions Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Sally Ride was born on May 26th, 1951, in California. She started to play tennis at the age of10 and became a good tennis player.

One of the most important taxes is income tax which a person pays according to the amount of his income. 49 he is a merchant , a shopkeeper, a miner. or anything else. This is called a "direct" tax, because it is paid in money direct 50 the government.

A media forum between China and NigeriaBAbout ten hundred, the European nations began to grow. They developed armies and governments. By the 15th century, European countries were ready to explore new parts of the world.The Portuguese took the first step. The leader of Portugal' s exploration efforts wasPrince Henry, a son of King John I. Portuguese sea captains led their ships around the west coast ofAfrica hoping to find a path to India and East Asia. They finally found the end of the African continent, the area called the Cape of Good Hope. It took the Portuguese only about fifty years to take control of the spice trade. One improvement was a new kind of ship. It could sail more easily through ocean storms and winds. Other inventions like the compass permitted them to sail out of sight of land. The Portuguese also armed their ships with modern cannon which they used to battle Muslim and East Asian traders.The other European nations would not permit Portugal to control this trade for long, however. Spain' s Queen Isabella and King Ferdinand agreed to provide ships, crew and supplies for an exploration by an Italian seaman, Christopher Columbus.Columbus and a crew of eighty-eight men left Spain on August 3rd, 1492 , in threeships. On October 12th ,they stood on an island that Columbus named San Salvador. Columbus was considered a national hero when he reached Spain in March, 1493. Columbus returned across the Atlantic Ocean to the Caribbean area five months later. Seven months later, Columbus sent five ships back to Spain. Columbus also sailed back to Spain leaving behind some settlers who were not happy with conditions. Christopher Columbus made another trip in 1498, with six ships. In 1502 , Columbus made his final voyage to what some were calling the New World. He stayed on the island of Jamaica until he returned home in 1504 .Columbus' voyages, however. opened up the new world. Others later explored all of North America. An Italian explorer, Amerigo Vespucci, visited the coast of South America in 1499. He wrote stories about his experiences that were widely read in Europe. In 1507, a German mapmaker read Vespucci's stories. He decided that the writer had discovered the new world and suggested that it be called America in his honor .61.

Fill in the numbered blankets by using the information from the passage . Write NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer .In today's digital age, our lives have become filled with noise and distraction (分心) from emails, text messages, web media , televisions and radios, etc, so that we are forgetting how to be still and silent, and to find solitude. which is a state or quality of being alone or remote from others. Therefore it' s difficult for us to mentally shut ourselves off, and then we ' re lacking attention toward our inner self.Actually, silence and solitude can benefit us greatly. For example, when we are silent and still, we can listen to our inner voice and hear our own spirit guiding us. We can dream and create in our mind. and we can receive messages through our imagination and thoughts. In silence and solitude , we nourish(滋养) our soul. Recharge our energy, and receive life-giving power.Then , how can we be still and silent in a life that we are so busy living'? Well,when we have too many tasks to do, we react by engaging in some action which is an outward use of our energy. But if we remain silent and still and make time to think it over, we are strengthening our potential by keeping our energies within. So we’ll have more outward power when we go inward first.Also we need to give ourselves permission for non-doing and make time to just feel content in that space, instead of feeling guilty that we should be doing something else, or serving someone who needs us. We must feel satisfied with the stillness and the moment of doing nothing.In addition, being still and silent takes practice. Don' t get impatient and set yourintention on being still. We can sit or lie down, close our eyes, quiet our mind and slowour breath. We can do this almost anywhere.Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Write your answers on your answer sheet .David Jones is probably not somebody you want to hang out with. Not because he isn't a cool person, but because he is living with 40 deadly snakes.Jones is living in a room for 121 days with more than three dozen constrictors. green mambas, boomslangs and other deadly snakes in an attempt to set a Guinness world record. The record for most days spent confined to a room with this particular number of snakes is 113, set by Martin Smit in 2008."I am hoping people will realize that we can live with these fantastic creatures without fearing and killing them. People come and see me here and are constantly amazed at how I am interact with these animals. The snakes are not restrained in any way and make the full use of the entire room including my bed, shower and toilet." Jones explains. They mainly hide out in cupboards or on the various makeshift (临时的) branches or bushes that Jones has in their shared quarters. Once a week, someone brings captured mice and rats to offer as a sacrifice to the snakes.David Jones is forced to move the snakes with a “hook stick ” throughout the day, so that he can do things like sitting at his desk or typing on his laptop，his only means of contacting the outside world The snakes often drop on his pillow or shoulders as he's trying to work or sleep, but there have so far been no instances of Jones being bitten by one of these deadly snakes .

Records show 48 every year a lot of people die in traffic accidents. Some of the accidents are due 49 mechanical problems. However, most of them are the results of careless 50 reckless driving, and could be avoided. A lot of people disregard traffic signals and rules. They drive regardless of speed limits, run through 51 lights, drive in the wrong direction, talk and laugh while 52 , and turn as they wish without giving signals. They 53 slow down while approaching(接近) crossroads. So many people violate traffic regulations that we cannot put too much emphasis on 54 importance of traffic safety. Only when everybody thinks traffic safety is everybody's business can we be safe driving on roads and walking55 sidewalks（人行道）.IV.阅读理解（30 marks）ASome time ago I discovered that one of my chairs had a broken leg. I didn’t think there would be any difficulty in getting it mended, as there are a whole lot of antique(古董) shops near my home. So I left home one morning carrying the chair with me. I went into the first shop expecting a friendly reception (接待). I was quite wrong. The man wouldn’t even look at my chair.The second shop, though slightly more polite, was just the same, and the third and the fourth－so I decided that my approach must be wrong.I entered the fifth shop with a plan in my mind. I placed the chair on the floor and said to the shopkeeper, "Would you like to buy a chair?" He looked it over carefully and said, "Yes, not a bad chair. How much d o you want for it, sir?" "Twenty pounds," I said. "OK," he said, "I’ll give youtwenty pounds." "It’s got a slightly broken leg," I said. "Yes, I saw that, it’s nothing."Everything was going according to plan and I was getting excited. "What will you do with it?" I asked. "Oh, it will be easy to sell once the repair is done." "I’ll buy it," I said. "What do you mean? You’ve just sold it to me," he said. "Yes, I know but I’ve changed my mind. I am sorry. I’ll give you twenty-seven pounds for it." "You must be crazy," he said. Then, suddenly the penny dropped. "I know what you want. You want me to repair your chair." "You’re right," I said. "And what would you have done if I had walked in and said, “ Would you mend this chair for me?”. “I wouldn’t have agree d to do it," he said. "We don’t do repairs, not enough money in it and too much trouble. But I’ll mend this for you, shall we say for a fiver (five pounds)?" He was a very nice man and was greatly amused (感到有趣) by the whole thing.56. We can learn from the text that in the first shop the writer _____.A. was rather impoliteB. was warmly receivedC. asked the shopkeeper to buy his chairD. asked the shopkeeper to repair his chair57. The underlined word "approach" in the second paragraph means _____.A. plan for dealing with thingsB. decision to sell thingsC. idea of repairing thingsD. way of doing things58. The expression "the penny dropped" in the last paragraph means the shopkeeper _____.A. changed his mindB. accepted the offerC. saw the writer’s purposeD. decided to help the writer59.

But the truth is that you can have last night’s leftovers in the a. m. if you want to.I know lots of women who skip breakfast, and they have a ton of different excuses for doing it. Some say they don’t have time, others think they’re “saving”calories（卡路里）, still others just don’t like breakfast food.But the bottom line is that eating in the morning is very important when you’re trying to lose weight. “Eating just about anything from 300 to 400 calories would be better than nothing at all，”says Katherine Brooking, R. D.，who developed the super-easy eating plan for this year’s“SELF CHALLENGE”. And even pizza can be healthy if it’s load ed with vegetables, and you stick to one small piece.Breakfast is one meal I never miss, and the same goes for most weight loss success stories. Research shows that eating breakfast keeps you from overeating later in the day. Researchers at the University of Southern California found that breakfast skippers have a bigger chance of gaining weight than those who regularly have a morning meal.So eat something in the morning, anything. I know plenty of friends who end up having no breakfast altogether, and have just cof fee or orange juice. I say, try heating up last night’s leftovers-it m ay sound crazy, but if it works for you, do it! I find if I tell myself', “You can a lways eat it tomorrow, ”I put away the leftovers instead of eating more that night. Try it…you may save yourself some pre-bedtime calories. And watch your body gain the fat-burning effects.61. The word “leftovers” in Paragraph 1 probably means __________.A. pizza topped with fruitB. things left undoneC. meals made of vegetablesD. food remaining after a meal .62. According to the last paragraph, it is important to__________.A. eat something for breakfastB. be careful about what you eatC. heat up food before eating itD. eat calorie-controlled food63. What can we infer from the text?A. Working women usually have breakfast in a hurry.B. Many people have wrong ideas about breakfast.C. There are some easy ways of cooking a meal.D. Eating vegetables helps save energy.64. The text is written mainly for those__________.A. who go to work earlyB. who stay up lateC. who want to lose weightD. who eat before sleep65. What does the author advise the readers to do?A. Better eat up all the food at dinner in the night.B. Better eat less in the night.C. Better eat leftovers in the morning.D. Better get up late and eat nothing in the morning in order to burn more calories.C66. The Dragon Boat Festival _______.A. is also kept by South KoreaB. comes from South KoreaC. was created by South KoreaD. is South Korea’s cultural heritage67. What is the reaction of the Ministry of Culture to South Korea’s intending to make the DragonBoat Festival its own culture heritage?A. Fighting against South KoreaB.

The students were all eyes and ears as they listened.She told the students that she didn’t always feel good about the choices her family was making. Some years ago, when she was working and living with her family in Chicago, Mrs Obama realized she had to make changes in her family’s lifestyle.“We were eating out too much, buying a lot of things, and drinking a lot of sugary drinks,” she said. So Mrs Obama started talking to her kids about eating healthily and exercising more. Soon they were cooking more, eating fewer desserts, and spending less time watching TV.

You dial the number, and then you forget it! Your short-term memory last about 30 seconds. However, you don’t need to look in the telephone book for your best friend’s number because you already know it. This information is in your long-term memory. Your long-term memory has everything that you remember through the years.Why do you forget things sometimes? There are several reasons. An important reason for forgetting something is that you didn‘t learn it well in the beginning. For example, you meet some new people, and soon you forget their names. You hear the names but you do not learn them, so you forget them.You can help yourself remember better. Move information from your short-term memory to your long-term memory. You can do this if you practice the new information for more times.66. According to the passage, you forget the telephone number that you don’t call often because________.A. the telephone number is too longB. the telephone number is very strangeC. you use your short-term memory to remember itD. you look it up in the telephone book67. Which is easier to forget?A. Something that you understand.B. Your best friend’s name.C. The new information that you have practiced a lot.D. Something that you didn’t learn well in the beginning.68.

The writer mainly wants to tell us some ideas on ________.A. how to keep something in mind longB. how to learn English wellC. how to make a telephone callD. how to remember a person’s namePart IV .Writing (45 marks)Section A (10 marks)Directions: Read the following passage. Fill in the numbered blanks by using the information from the passageWrite NO MORE THAN THREE WORDS for each answer.Do you talk with your parents about your problems or the day’s events? Do you want to improve your family’s communication skills? Here are three simple ways.Insist on family mealsIn addition to bringing your parents together for a full day’s activities on weekends, you should insist on a few family meals every week. Use the family dinner table as an opportunity to share some interesting things that happened in the school, your pressure before exams or your favorite teacher with your parents.Remember the L/T rule (listen and talk)When trying to improve any relationship, listening is far more important than talking. So when it comes to family communication, listen four times longer than you speak. Think twice about what you want to say before you say it Sometimes your first reaction (反应) is angry, especially to bad news. Do your best to avoid this, and if you do, apologize to your parents quickly.Create family traditionsSetting up a family movie night, attending social services or creating special holiday presents are all examples of family traditions. Family members come to expect these traditions, seeing them as opportunities to come together as a unit. If your family is short on traditions, there’s no reason you don’t start some now. Why not go shopping with your mother or play basketball with your father once a week? Or you can prepare a special gift on mother’s Day.All family members develop effective(有效的)communication styles that can improve the quality of the relationships. Why not start talking today?Section B (10 mark.)Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage.Last Sunday, the sky was grey when I woke up. The weather report said rain was coming, but I couldn’t stay home just because of rain.At around 8:00am I had a doctor’s appointment. It wasn’t raining then. At 9:00 I left the doctor’s office to drive to work, and it was raining hard. I just had togo about 5-6 miles down one main road to get to a school, where I could stay until the rain stopped. Unfortunately, the road in front of the school was flooded, and my car stopped in the middle.“Who is going to save me?” I wondered. I shut off the engine and turned on my flashers(车灯). I called 911. They were not helpful. I called my husband, even though he couldn’t come and help me. I was also very close to a police station. But I never saw even one police car. I decided to get out of the car, since it was raining. My best decision that day had been to wear rain boots. I took my umbrella and quickly got out and ran across the street to a shelter(躲避处).Before long, a tow truck(拖车) happened to pass by the street. The driver kindly offered to help me. At that moment, I really needed my car pulled out quickly, so I trusted the stranger. He pulled my car out and drove me home.Although many years have passed, I still remember that stormy day and the warm-hearted stranger clearly.81. What did the author do at around 8:00am?

AMr and Mrs Stokes were sitting in the garden of their London home when I arrived to interview（采访）them and their fourteen-year-old son Carl．But Carl was working upstairs．“He doesn't often leave his room,” his mother explained．At the moment Carl is working on a program（程序）for a new computer game. Computers have become his whole life. In the last year Carl has earned over ￡25,000 from writing programs. “When did he buy the computer？”I wondered. “We bought it for him eighteen months ago for his birthday, ”said Mr. Stokes. “We didn't know what we were doing. Our son has changed. Eighteen months ago he didn't see a computer. Now he doesn't talk about anything else. And we don't understand a thing about computers.” “And do you think it's good for him?” was my question. “No, we don't. We worry about him,” said Mrs. Stokes. “He doesn't have any other interests now. And he hasn't done any work for school exams.”Carl's parents don't understan d computers. But Carl certainly does. “I love computers,” he said, “I soon got tired of playing games though. I like writing programs much better. I've got three computers now. I bought two more, I didn't earn much at first, but now I do. My parents make m e put most of it in the bank.”21.

They believe that their family members don’t know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they go to their friends for some ideas.It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication (交际) is very important in children’s growing up, because friends can talk about something, and these things are difficult to say to their family members.However, parents often try to choose friends for their children. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends.
