be able to表示＂能够＂，相当于can，常用来表示can不能表达的将来时或完成时的情况，可用于各种时态。

II. 阅读理解
When I was a kid in Minnesota, watermelon was expensive. One of my father’s friends, Bernie, was a rich businessman, who owned a large store in St. Paul.
Every summer, when the first watermelons arrived, Bernie would call. Dad and I would go to Bernie’s place. We’ d sit on the edge of the dock（码头）, feet dangling（摇晃）, and got ready for a big meal.
Bernie would take his knife, cut our first watermelon, hand us both a big piece and sit down next to us. Then we’d bury our faces in watermelon, eating only the heart—the reddest, juiciest, firmest, sweetest, most seed-free part—and throw away the rest.
Bernie was my father’s idea of a rich man. I always thought it was because he was such a successful business man. Years later, I realized that it was not Bernie’s wealth itself but his way of dealing with it that my father liked. Bernie knew how to stop working, get together with friends and eat only the heart of the watermelon.
What I learned from Bernie is that being rich is a state of mind. Some of us, no matter how much money we have, will never be free enough to eat only the heart of the watermelon. If you don’t take the time to dangle your feet over the dock and enjoy life’s small pleasure, your work is pro bably hurting your life.
For many years, I forgot that lesson I’d learned as a kid on the loading dock. I was too busy making all the money I could.
Well, I’ve relearned it. I hope I have time left to enjoy the success of others and to take pleasure in the day. That’s the heart of the watermelon. I have learned again to throw the rest away.
1. We learned from the second paragraph that the writer and his father were feeling ______.
A. relaxed
B. worried
C. hungry
D. proud
2. How did the writer and his father eat the watermelon?
A. They ate it in a polite way.
B. They only ate its best part.
C. They ate every part of it.
D. They shared only one piece.
3. In the eyes of the writer’s father, Bernie ______.
A. was just a rich businessman
B. worked hard all the time
C. lived a rich but healthy life
D. knew how to make money
4. The underlined part “the heart of the watermelon” in the last paragraph refers to ______.
A. the best part of the watermelon
B. the w riter’s busy life
C. the writer’s decision of making money
D. the writer’s hope of enjoying life
5. It can be learned from the passage that ______.
A. one has to work hard to reach his goal
B. a friend in need is a friend in deed
C. watermelon is the healthiest fruit
D. one should keep work-life balance
III. 填空
Hong Kong lies in the southeastern part of China. She returned to our motherland in 1997.
If you go to Hong Kong by air, you will arrive at Kai Tak Airport, because there was not enough land. This airport was built out into the sea. It is in the part of Hong Kong called Kowloon(九龙). Kowloon is one of the two big cities in Hong Kong.
The other city is Hong Kong itself. It is on an island. You can get there by ship or through a tunnel under the sea. Much of Hong Kong is farmland and mountains.
The population(人口) of Hong Kong is over six million. Chinese and English are spoken by many people there. Clothes, computers, radios and TVs are made in Hong Kong. You can buy all kinds of things, such as watches and computers.
People from all over the world travel to Hong Kong every year. You can watch horse racing or motor racing. Some places are quiet and beautiful. When you are hot and tired, there are small cool gardens to rest in. There are also a lot of buildings to live in. Hong Kong is also a good place for Chinese food. You can enjoy many kinds of cooking. For example, fish, meat and vegetables. Beijing duck is famous. There is certainly a lot to see and to do in Hong Kong.
IV. 多任务混合问题
A “clean slate” in English means having new start. It means we can forget the past and begin again. The beginning of the second term gives us a chance to have a clean slate. Some of us may have failed a subject in the first term. We may have spent Spring Festival feeling sad and (1) about the second term. But my advice is to forget about the past and think about the future. Many people have had trouble in school. Many people have failed exams. Chris, a second-year high school student remembers that clearly. In her first term she failed math. She says, “At first, I was very sad but then I studied hard and got good marks.” Penny, a high school teacher, also remembers failing math in middle school. But she improved by doing more exercises, and by asking her teacher and her classmates for (2) . After studying hard, she says, “I got almost full marks in the college entrance exams.”
Failing an exam isn’t the end of the world, we all fail sometimes. Whatever we face, it is important that we make an effort to do our best. Failing a test does not mean that we can’t go to university. It does not mean that we are stupid. It just means that we have to work harder and that we should ask for extra help from our teacher and our friends.
The first term is over, it’s history. Today，we have a clean slate，so be happy, be positive and be successful.

作为一个学生，没有百分之百绝对聪明的，任何人都会有考试失败的时候，这并没有关系。

一次的考试失败并不会证明什么，既不能表明你上不了大学，又不能说明你本来就很蠢，只是想告诉你，你需要更加努力才行，因为只有这样才能获得良好的成绩，只有这样才能上好的大学，也只有这样父母才会为我们感到骄傲。

【解析】(A)句意：如果你听一些轻音乐，你的麻烦(烦恼)很快就会消失。
