2015中央电视台希望之星英语风采大赛市预赛试题（初中组）1. I have a dream school in my mind. We can choose our favorite lessons to learn. We can spend more time doing some outside reading. The students do after-school activities for one and a half hours every day. We needn’t do a lot of homework. Besides that, my dream school looks like a big garden. There are many kinds of flowers around the modern buildings. If I want to have a rest, I can lie on the grass, listen to music by the lake or look at the flowers from the classroom windows. The teachers here are not only our teachers but also our good friends. The students are polite and friendly. We all know how to keep our school clean and tidy. There is no litter around the campus. I love my dream school. We will grow up to be happier there.2. Bill and Jane were coasting on a hill. Down the hill went the sled. Bill steered. Jane held on tightly. The coasters on the hill watched them. Past trees they whizzed. Jane yelled, “Stop the sled! Stop the sled!” but Bill could not stop it. Su ddenly Jane had a feeling that she was a bird in flight. Was she dreaming? She landed in a big pile of snow. Where was Bill? He must have gone all the way down the long side to the end of the hill. Now, Bill came in sight plodding up the hill. Jane laughed as she called him. They were so glad to be together.3. Nothing can be more exciting than success to a man. But you must face many difficulties before you can succeed. No one can make it easier. And it`s harder for those who are in adverse conditions to succeed. However, everything has two sides. Just as someone said, in every adversity there lies the seed of an advantage and in every defeat there is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time. The most important isto show a brief, that is perseverance. The British minister Winston Churchill had a motto of "Never, never, never, never give up. Nothing can replace for hard work. Life is a process of struggle for success.4. When I was in grade four in primary school, my father taught me how to use computer. After that, I was very interested in playing on computer. I watched movies, played computer games, searched the Internet and listened to the music on computer. Because my father must work in his computer, so he bought another for me. I was very happy that I had my own computer. It was put in the study. I am always very careful to use my computer, because I am worried I would break it. I often chat with my net friends. Because of my computer, I make many friends who have many hobbies in common. Of course, I use my computer in study. There are resources on the Internet. I can learn more after class. It does great help to me.5. In 1929, three years after his flight over the North Pole, the American explorer, R.E. Byrd, successfully flew over the South Pole for the first time. Though, at first, Byrd and his team were able to take a great many photographs of the mountains that lay below, they soon ran into serious trouble. At one point, it seemed certain that their plane would crash. It could only get over the mountains if it rose to 10,000 feet. Byrd at once ordered his partners to throw out two heavy food sacks. The plane was then able to rise and it cleared the mountains by 4000 feet.6. What is the low carbon life? We can do a lot in our daily life to achieve the goal of living low carbon life. First, we’d better turn off lights if possible and spend less time watching TV or surfing the Internet. Saving water also matters much. Besides, weshould sort out the rubbish, hoping that we might recycle some, which will surely benefit us a great deal. In addition, we suggest using handkerchiefs instead of tissues so that we can prevent more trees from being cut down. More importantly, when we go out, walking, riding bikes or taking buses should be our first choice, which contributes to a cleaner world.7. As we all know, water is essential in our daily life. We drink water every day; we use water to wash things and cook food and we also use water to make machines. People can't live without water. Though about 75% of the earth is covered with water, only 3% of it can be used. So we must save water by having a shower instead of a bath. We can save water by fixing dripping taps immediately and we can also save water by not washing under a running tap. Just do everything that we can do to save water.8. That was a morning in the early of June. I took a bus to my school. The sky was gray with the gloomy clouds congregating gradually along the far eastern horizon. "There must be a heavy rain soon." I spoke to myself. When I hurried into the classroom, the sky, gray before, was replaced now by black clouds. Several minutes later, I saw the lightening split the clouds and heard the thunders following. Suddenly, the curtain of rain fell and the wind blew. With the rain forming like a fog, the sky became bright. I took several deep breathes. I felt comfortable. The heavy rain lasted three hours and stopped when the class was over. The air was so fresh and the sky was so clear. I felt like a new man myself.9. Everything begins to grow in spring. The trees turn green, and the flowers come out. On the playground, in the fields, on each side of the road, the young grassgrows everywhere. Spring also arrives in our school. Come and see, behind our teaching building, there are some small pear trees covered with white flowers, on both sides of it, there are some other flowers smiling at you, Some are yellow, some are red. Look, there are some kites flying in the sky. The spring wind is blowing. The sun is shining brightly. Some boys are playing games in the sun, Listen, a group of girls are singing "Where’s spring?" It sounds like the singing of lark birds. All these make me think that spring is here, spring is there, and spring is just in our school.10. Elephant is the largest animal on land today. It weights some ninety kilograms and is about one meter high when born. When it is 12 years old, it grows over three meters and does not grow any more. Elephant is usually gray in color, having a long trunk with large ivory tusks protruding from each side of its mouth. Usually moving in groups and caring for each other. For many years people have used the strength of these powerful animals to move trees and heavy logs. Elephant is a vital tool for people to do many things that would normally be impossible. Elephant will continue to be one of the greatest creatures that man has ever come into contact with. Its size, beauty, and power will forever be useful to man.11. We wouldn't believe that it was a village. The buildings for the farmers were very beautiful, the streets were very clean and there were many flowers in front of the houses. In the middle of the village there was a school with a wonderful building and a large playground. All the children in the village study there. The farmers got richer by planting vegetables and raising silkworms. In their houses there were color TV sets, fridges, washing machines, new furniture and even motorbikes. All these showed the farmers' life was getting better and better. The great changes had attracted foreigners.Today some of them would come to visit it. We were happy for the farmers. We hope the farmers will be richer and happier.12. The Yangtze River is the longest river in China. And it’s important and helpful to Chinese. But these few days the Yangtze River is bringing us serious floods. Many villages were destroyed by floods. The floods made millions of people lose their homes, relatives and friends. Many children can’t go to school as usual. Now the foods have drawn the attention of the whole world. People from abroad have offered their help too. In China, millions of soldiers are busy fighting against the floods. They are working very hard. Many of them have lost their lives in their attempt to save the villagers. I believe most of the people will return to their homeland in the near future.13. Nowadays, many Chinese can enjoy the luxury of owning a private car. Having a car of your own means no more traveling to work on crowded buses or subway trains, and you can drop off the children at school on the way. Moreover, it also means that you can enjoy the weekends and holidays better, because with a car you can go to places where the regular buses and trains can not go. However, there are drawbacks to own a car. For one thing, with the increase in car ownership in recent years, the roads are becoming more and more crowded, often making the journey to be a nightmare. For another, it is not cheap to run a car, the prices of gasoline and repairs are constantly rising, and you have to pay for a license and insurance coverage.14. Internet is coming into our life. It brings us not only a lot of convenience, but also troubles. Some students use Internet as a tool to study. They look up the meanings of the words, a translated form of a sentence, the information of a company or a famousperson etc. They also read news or send e-mails through it. Internet helps them learn more and study well. On the other hand，some students play games，chat with friends，see the pictures or films even the unhealthy ones on the Internet the whole day. They are not interested in their subjects. It’s very dangerous for them! The Internet advantages and disadvantages are shown clearly to us. I think we should make good use of it and stay away from the unhealthy websites.15. Suzhou is a beautiful place in Southeast of China. It was built over 2500 years ago. So Suzhou is an old city with a long history. It’s famous for its gardens and Hanshan Temple. We are all proud of them. Many foreign tourists come to see them. In Suzhou, There are lots of old constructions like Tiger Hill, Bessie Pagoda and so on. After visiting them, you’ll be tired. But don’t be worried. There are also lots of snack shops in Suzhou. They are different from those in Western countries. Suzhou is a modern city as well as an old city. There are lots of tall buildings and many other modern constructions in Suzhou, too. You can find hundreds of people in smart clothes in the street. What a beautiful city it is!16. Everybody has a dream, because we’re dreamers. Sometimes the dream is perfect, sometimes it’s special, sometimes it’s sweet. In my dream, there are some children. I always play games with them and enjoy ourselves. In my dream, there is a special sky. In our world, the sky is blue, but the sky of my dream is pink and some angels are having fun there. In my dream, white bird can fly high, flowers can sing songs, frogs have a jump race, tomatoes are blue, potatoes are yellow and all the things are different. In my dream, Chinese people, Korean people, Japanese people, Italian people, Spanish people, American people and Russian people are hand in hand. All thepeople smile forever. It is a peaceful world. In my dream, everything is wonderful, but our world is not. So we should make our world get more beautiful!17. In current society, people have known the importance of keeping healthy and good life habit. In the past, people ate three meals at home, and they ate more vegetables and less meat and fish. They were very strong and seldom went to see doctors. Now life is better, people eat more meat, fish, eggs and other food with more fat. They often go out for good meals with their families and friends. But they get easy to be ill, Why? I think more meat and fish, less exercise are bad for health. Good rest, less meat and fish, more vegetables and enough exercise are good for health. We should eat fruit and drink milk every day. So the better we get into good eating habits, the happier our life becomes.18. I like Christmas, it is just like our Spring Festival. Because we can spend time with our families, friends and classmates during Christmas. When it is snowy, Christmas becomes much more lovely. I can imagine I am in a fairy tale, the girl who sold the matches is my friend, the ugly duck becoming more and more beautiful and so on. What a beautiful place! So we can also call Christmas “snowy lovely day.”On Christmas day, shops are red and green. There are so many Christmas cards, Christmas hats, Christmas dolls and many colorful things. We can give a card or a doll to our friends and say “M erry Christmas.” By the way, I think studying can also become much more interesting.19. Chinese Lunar New Year, or Spring Festival falls on January 1st according to the lunar calendar, usually around the late January or early February. As the start ofspring as well as a new year, it is the most important celebration of the year. On the Eve, there is a big dinner for the family when each member returns to get together. The biggest New Year party is held on CCTV. Hundreds of people gather there, meanwhile millions of others all over the country were sitting in front of the screen to watch excellent performances. The bell strikes twelve at midnight to welcome the coming of the New Year or Spring. People start to set off firecrackers and say "Happy New Year" to each other.20. With the development of the modern technology，private car is no longer a luxurious thing for ordinary people. More and more people drive to work instead of going by bus. The popularization of private car has many advantages. First，it is very convenient and time-saving and you can drive your own car to the workplace instead of waiting for the crowded bus and afraid of being late for working. Second，it can also improve the traffic structure，and help mitigate the stress of the traffic. Third，the popularization of private car can help to promote the car industry and any other interrelated industries. I believe that in the future the private car will become the most important vehicle and we can't live without it.21. Smile, how warm the word is! It can make anyone happy and this happiness is from the bottom of heart. It’s not like enthusiastic laughter, but just warm, makes your heart warm. Mother’s smile is like a spring wind, so gentle when you are sad and it can make you happy again; when you fail, it can make you stand up and work hard again; when you give up, it can make you try your best again…Smile, so easy, but also so useful. So, let’s learn to smile. Everyone needs others smile. When we give others a smile, we will feel happy, too. And maybe next time, when you need a smile, the personwho received your smile will give it to you. Let’s learn to smile often. I believe it can even make the whole world warm. Living with a smile, every day will be sunshine.22. Everybody knows that there is the serious problem of water pollution on the earth. Yes, water pollution is increasing. Look! The water in the river is getting dirtier and dirtier. Most of fish in the water have died, and we can’t swim in the water. My grandfather says, when he was very little, the water in the river was very clean. He often swam in the river with his friends. That was before, but now we can’t see such clean rivers. Let’s protect the water from pollution, because we can’t live without water. The water is really important to us all.23. The way of life that a group of people builds up over a long period of time becomes the people's culture. Culture includes the people's values and beliefs as well as their technical competency. Some aspects of culture are learned in a formal setting, such as a school, while other aspects are learned informally in the process of day-to-day living. A culture is always changing. Changes in some culture often come about by borrowing form another culture and by invention. To enrich the culture of our nation, we are constantly adapting new inventions and new ideas into our way of life.24. Although the world develops much faster and better，the resources on the earth get fewer and fewer. In order to protect them，something must be done. Save water as water is the source of life. No water，no life. So it's very important for us to do so. Not only should we protect drinking water and stop polluting it，but also make full use of it. Save electricity as it is crucial. We can't imagine what the life will be likewithout it. Don't forget to turn off lights or other electric machines when we finish working. Save forests . Please stop cutting them down and use recycled paper instead. Make our world a green one to live in. We can save resources in this way. I believe we can make the world a better place to live in.25. One afternoon in September, 1993 in Datong, Shanxi Province, a two-year-old boy happened to fall into a deep ditch, which is only 40 centimeters wide but 45 meters deep. The ditch is so narrow that the adults are not able to go down. At that time, an 11-year-old Young boy named Zhang Tianxi, who is a miner's son decided to save the little boy. Zhang is thin enough to go down to the bottom of the ditch. He was brave enough and made an effort to carry the little child to the surface of the ground. It took him about 45 minutes to finish the job. People sang high praise for his brave behavior. And Zhang was awarded the prize for the National Ten Finest Children.26. Last year, I visited Beijing. I always looked forward to visiting there. So I was so excited that I couldn’t fall asleep on the night before I started. I got up early and packed my backpack for the journey. In my pack, I put a camera, some clothes, a cell phone and so on. It took me 15 hours to go there by train. I visited some places of interest in Beijing, such as the Great Wall, the Ming Tombs and so on. They are very beautiful. I enjoyed myself. I felt tired but excited because I have learned a lot about the history of the city. As soon as I arrived home, I phoned my classmates and told them about the trip.27. I was born in a beautiful town with high mountains around it. The mountains are covered with all kinds of green bamboos. Through the town runs a small stream. It'ssaid that a new railway is going to be built to the east of the town and a bamboo factory to the west. All the children of the school age can go to school. If anyone is ill, he can go to see the doctor in the newly-built hospital. People in the town are hard-working and never take the backwardness lying down. Though they are having a richer and better life, they are not satisfied with what they have got. They are working hard to build their town into a modern one.28. Our class has made a survey. "Don't keep your worries." About fifty percent of the students in our class are worried about their homework and studies. And they feel stressed too much. About thirty percent of the students think their parents are too strict with them. They don't often talk with their parents. The other twenty percent of them say they are weak in health. They complain that they almost have no time for their hobbies or exercise. So I hope that our teachers will give us less homework. And I advise our parents to allow us to spend some time with our parents doing outdoor activities. I think our teachers should give us less homework to do. And our parents are supposed to talk with us often. In this way, we will be happier.29. It’s hard to make friends if you stay alone all the time. It’s easier to make friends when you have similar interests. Don’t be afraid to show people what you are really good at. Talk about the things you like and do your best. Look at people in the eyes when you talk to them. Be a good listener. Let people talk about themselves before talking about yourself. Be friendly to a lot of people. Try to help your friends when they are in trouble because a friend in need is a friend indeed. That way you’ll have a bigger group to choose from and have more chances to make friends.30. Opportunity is one of the elements of success. But opportunities don't come often. And not all the opportunities can certainly lead to success. Moreover, opportunities are usually disguised as hard work, therefore most people don't recognize them. So if you want to achieve something, you must make efforts and get prepared. Otherwise, you will take no advantage of opportunities when they come to you. In my opinion, there are plenty of opportunities for everyone in our society, but only those who have made enough preparations and are highly talented can make use of them to achieve their purpose.31. The lucky-number has become popular in daily life of modern society. For example, the number eight means big money which people like most, while the number four means unlucky. Some people believe lucky numbers so deeply that they will afford a telephone with numbers without four and others which is bad in their mind. They argue that the lucky-number really can bring good luck, and, at least, no evidence testify that they can not. As far as I am concerned, there is no relationship between the numbers and luck, for the reason that numbers themselves are given certain meaning for the purpose of application of mathematical. And, in addition, man should not depend on luck which, in their mind, the numbers give them.32. Nowadays more and more programs are shown every day. My favorite program is "Discovery" which is broadcasted by CCTV at 5' o’clock every other afternoon, except weekends. The program provides us with knowledge in natural and scientific aspects. I like to know about the secrets of animals and some scientific research. I acquire some knowledge about nature and science of the past, present andeven the future. It is an interesting as well as instructive program. Besides, the pictures are very vivid and beautiful. It' s really a great joy to watch it. If you don't believe what I said, just watch it by yourself, and then you will know I am right.33. The proverb "Haste makes waste" means that one may delay the time to complete one thing if he rushes to do it, because he may neglect something important in the process and has to do it again from the beginning. So we should do every step well. Take remembering English words for example, every student wants to enlarge his vocabulary. But this aim cannot be achieved in one or two days. You should stick to remember some words a day and review the words every few days. In this way you can keep the words in your mind firmly. There is no shortcut. If you want to put all the words into your brain and not to review them, you will remember nothing. So don't be hasty. Haste makes waste.34. Panda is one of the scarcest animals. People in the world like it very much. There used to be many pandas in China long ago. As the balance of nature was destroyed and the weather was getting warmer and warmer, pandas became less. But at present, the number of pandas is increasing year by year. There are now so many pandas that some are being sent to other countries so that people there can enjoy them. Nowadays, the biggest nature park for panda in China is in Sichuan. There is a research center for nature and wild life there. Scientists hope that one day they will have enough pandas to be set free and let them live in the wild again.35. Friendship is one of the greatest pleasures that people can enjoy. It is very difficult to find a better definition of friendship. A true friend does indeed find pleasurein our joy and share sorrow in our grief. Knowing how valuable friendship is, we should be very careful in our choice of a friend．We must choose someone who has a good character, whose activities are good and who shows kindness of heart. A true friend can always be trusted, loved and respected. If you tell a friend your secrets, he or she won’t tell anyone else. Friends share each o thers joys and sorrows. They help each other when they are in trouble，and cheer each other up when they are sad. The most important thing is that a friend always understands you.36. Our environment is very important for our lives . We need the fresh air, the clean water and so on. In the past, there were many trees around us, the air was fresh and the river was clean. But now, people cut down many trees. Air pollution and water pollution are very serious. The environment around us becomes very terrible. We should protect our environment. First, we should plant many trees to keep water. Second, we can ride a bike or walk to the school and work. Third, we shouldn’t throw the dirty water into the river. Fourth, we shouldn’t use the plastic bags. Finally, we can ask more people to join us.37.Almost everyone knows the famous Chinese saying：A young idler，an old beggar. Throughout history we have seen many cases in which this saying has again and again proved to be true. It goes without saying that youth is the best time of life, during which one’s mental and physical states are at their peaks. It takes relatively less time and pain to learn or accept new things in an ever-changing world. When one is young they do not have the stresses or burdens that can come from a career, family and health problems. To ensure success in different aspects of life one must always keep learning, asking questions, and be excited to live. Of course we all know：no pain, nogain. If we don’t make every effort to make good use of the advantages youth brings us，it will be impossible to achieve one’s goals. As students we should try our best to learn all our subjects so we can be prepared for the challenges we will face in the future.38. Many wild animals are facing the danger of extinction, because the environment they are living in has changed greatly. Examples of these changes are the development of cities, the use of chemicals on crops, increasing pollution, and their living areas are becoming smaller. Many of these wild animals are now confronted with a food crisis because not only are their habitats smaller, they are competing with man for resources. Man is killing off species just for gathering animal’s fur, skin, horns, teeth and meat. In order to protect our natural resources people should realize that the loss of any species is not only a loss of knowledge but of beauty. Therefore, measuresof the following should be taken: pollution standards should be stronger and heavily enforced; killing of certain rare species prohibited; and national parks should be set up as wild life reservations. Only if we human beings take some drastic measures can our beautiful mother nature preserve and flourish once again.39. Time flies like an arrow before we realize it .It is known that nothing is more precious than time. The good old proverb "time is money" reminds us that time is valuable. When time goes by, it will never return. However, it is a pity that some people don't make full use of their time .They spend a lot of time in sleeping, chatting, playing computer games or other unmeaning matters. . They don't realize that wasting time is actually equal to killing themselves. They always regret not having made great achievements. One of the reasons may be they do not make good use of time. Therefore,in order to be successful, they should first get into the habit of being on time. It’s a sign of cherishing time. Don't put off what can be done today until tomorrow. Being lazy will eventually lead to failure. Don't wait, because you don't know how long it will take when you put off your plan.40. Newspapers and websites are two major new media in the world today, both of which can provide us with lots of news and informati on. But they’re different in some ways. Newspapers enjoy a longer history and often come out daily with more reliable news and information. They can be carried and read almost anywhere you like. So many people like reading them. But they can only contain texts and photos. On the other hand, websites are quite new and popular, especially among young people. Websites have not only texts with pictures but also audios and videos, which makes stories more interesting. What’s more, they are updated from time to time. So the latest news is always seen on websites instead of in newspapers. But it is not quite convenient for people without a computer connected with the Internet to get information from websites.41. I dream that one day, I could escape from the deep sea of thick schoolbooks and live my own life with my favorite fictions: I lie freely on the green grass, smelling the spring, listening to the wind singing, breathing the fresh and cool air and dissolve my soul in nature at last. Simple and short enjoyment can bring me great satisfaction. I dream that one day the adults could throw their prejudice of comic and cartoon away. They could keep a lovely heart that can share sorrow and happiness with us while watching cartoon or doing personal things. That’s the real communication of heart to heart. I have the belief that my dreams should come true. I am looking forward to some。

Bob and his family get up later than usual, because he isn’t going to school and his father isn’t going to work. They are all staying at home, but they are not idle.

Others are made for trains to use. In the state of Washington, There is a very unusual bridge – it was built for squirrels.The town of Long-view has a very busy street. Many cars use it every day. Squirrels were being killed as they tried to cross the street. Mr. Peter built a bridge for squirrels – one that would pass above the traffic. For years now, the squirrels have been able to cross safely from one side of the street to the other.4. School in airMike is nine years old and Jane is seven. They live at Mount Ebenezer.

Some English books are on the bookshelf. A picture is on the wall. Some people are in the picture, the man is his father. The woman is his mother. Who is the boy? Do you know?15. The SunThere is nothing more important in life than the sun. Without the sun all living things on Earth would die.The sun is a star. In the sky there are thousands of stars like the sun. They are as large as the sun and as hot as the sun. At night you can see many stars, but in day-time you can only see one star- the sun. The sun is much nearer to us than any other stars. That is why it looks like the biggest and brightest of all the stars. The distance of the sun from the Earth is as much as 150 million kilometers. Most of the stars are thousands of light years away form the Earth. Do you know what a light year is? Nothing in the world travels faster than light. It travels 300,000 kilometers a second. One light year is the distance that light travels in one year.16. Air JordanMichael Jordan is one of the most famous basketball players in the world. He was born in Brooklyn, New York. He didn’t like to talk about himself. He was also very short. He didn’t play very well when he joined the basketball team in his high school at first. But the next year things changed greatly for him, as he grew much taller. Michael Jordan became famous when he joined the university basketball team in North Carolina. Michael used his quickness and strength to reach the basket again and again. He played so well that people call him Air Jordan. After college, Michael became a member of the Chicago Bull basketball team. The NBA was very surprised at this high-flying player. He was named Rookie of the year in 1985 and the most Valuable Player in 1987. He once set a record by getting 63 points in one game.17. The Strongest Power in the World.One day a great general asks his soldiers, “What is the strongest power in the world?” Four of his soldiers put up their hands. They want to answer the question. The generalasks the first man to speak. The first man is younger than the other three, and he’s not strong. He says, “My gun is the strongest. It can kill anyone.” “Thank you. Next, please.” The second man is very strong. He says,” I don’t think that’s true. Soldiers use guns. So a soldier is the strongest.” The third man says,” Soldiers use guns, but our general gives orders. So I think our general is the strongest.” The fourth man is the oldest. He says,” Love is the strongest. With love, people don’t need guns.” The general says nothing. He takes out a medal and gives it to him.18. Who is the God?Tom likes sweets very much. But his mother never gives him any, because she thinks they are bad for his teeth. But when Tom’s uncle gives him some, she always lets him eat the sweets. She wants to make her brother happy.One evening, a few days before Tom’s birthday, he was praying in his bedroom. “Please, God,” he shouted. “Let them give me a bog box of sweets as my birthday present.” His mother heard this and came into the room. “Why are you shouting, Tom?” sh e asked. “God can hear you quite well, even when you talk quietly.” “I know,” answered the clever boy, “but my uncle in the next room can’t.”19. Kites.Do you know how to fly a kite? Do you know how to make a kite? Can you describe the shapes of kites? Today, people all over the world make and fly kites for fun. Kites were the first flying machines. People in China used kites as fly machines more than 2000 years ago. In Marco Polo’s report, the Chinese used big kites to carry people up into the sky. The idea of kites helped people to make planes. In 1894 in Australia, Lawrence grave made four very big kites. These four kites lifted him 5 metres into the air. Today, the wings of planes are just like kites.Now people around the world use kites in festivals. Kites can have all kinds of colors and shapes, but the most important thing is to fly well.20. An interesting newspaperEvery morning Mike goes to work by train. As he has a long trip, he always buys a newspaper. It helps to make the time pass more quickly.One Tuesday morning, he turned to the sports page. He wanted to read the report about an important football match. The report was so interesting that he forgot to get off at his station. He didn’t know it until he saw the sea. He got off at the nex t station, and had to wait a long time for a train to go back. Of course, he got to the office very late, His boss was very angry.21. FallIn the fall, leaves drop to the ground. Many trees have nuts or fruits. Animals may begin to store food. Some birds collect nuts and corns to store. Other birds fly to a warmer place for the winter. They won’t return until the spring. Days become shorter. Cold weather is coming. The fur of many animals gets thicker because they need a thick coat to protect them. People also wear warmer clothing and prepare for winter. In some areas there may be rain or even snow, but in fall farmers harvest their crops. People look forward to fall for many reasons. The most important one is that fall is the harvest season.22. PandasPandas are lovely animals. Most of them live in the deep forests of Sichuan Province in China. They have white fur, though their shoulders, legs, ears and eyes are black. Pandas are usually very heavy, some of them can be about 1.5 meters tall and weigh about 100 kilograms. However, pandas are very agile, they can climb trees as easily as some other creatures do. Pandas have big, sharp teeth and live mainly on bamboo leaves. Every dayeach grown-up panda eats about 15-30 kilograms of bamboo leaves and they usually spend 10-12 hours eating. Pandas also have spare-time hobbies. Two of their hobbies are climbing trees and sleeping. Sadly, there are not many pandas left in the world because some people keep cutting down trees, and bad hunters are trying to kill them for money. The Chinese government is doing its best to protect pandas from being harmed or killed.23. Books on “How to”Books on how to do things are very popular in America today. There are about four to five thousand kinds of books about the money. Another may tell you how to save or spend it. And another may explain how to give your money away.Some “How to” books tell you how to choose a way of making a living and how to succeed in it. However, if you fail, you can buy a book which is called “How to turn a Failure into a Success.” If you would like to become very rich, you can buy the book “How to make a Million.” If you never make any money at all, you may need a book called “How to live on nothing.”If you are unhappy with your life, you can rea d “How to Love Every Minute of Your Life.” There is even a book called “How to kill yourself.”24. The Pianist and an Old WomanJohn was a very famous pianist. When he was a small boy, he once played at a party in the home of a rich man. He was only eight years old, but he had played the piano for several years. At the party he played a famous piece by Beethoven. He played wonderfully. The famous piece has several long rests in it. In each of these rests he took his hands away from the piano and waited. To him this was very exciting, but the mother of the rich man thought differently. Finally, during one of these rests she came over to him. She touched him on the head, smiled and said, “My boy, why don’t you playus what you know well?”25. The favorite coat.Mr. Smith had a nice, blue coat. He loved it very much, but his wife didn’t like it because it was old. She often said, “Give it to a poor man.” Mr. Smith always said, “No, I like this coat.” Then one day a cigarette fell on it and made a hol e in it, so Mrs. Smith said, “Please don’t wear it again.” Mr. Smith took it to a small tailor’s shop and said to the tailor, “Please make another coat just like this one.” The tailor made the coat very carefully, then he lit a cigarette and made a hole in it in the same place.26. NoiseMiss Gray lived alone in an apartment house. She was old and did not like noise at all. One day a young man moved into the room above her. He looks quiet, Miss Gray thought. However, at three o’clock the next morning, Mis s Gray was woken up by the barking of a dog. She thought, I’ve never heard a dog here before. It must belong to the new man in the room above me. So he telephoned the young man, said some nasty things to him about the dog, then hung up the telephone befor e he could answer. At three o’clock the next morning, Miss Gray’s telephone rang. When she answered, the young man said, “I’m the man upstairs. I’ve called to tell you that I haven’t got a dog.”27. The Diet.Mrs. Tan is worried about her weight, so she goes to see a doctor. “Oh, I’m too fat, I need to lose a lot of weight.” “It isn’t difficult to lose weight,” the doctor says. “All you need to do is go on a diet. I’ll give you one.” The doctor takes out a piece of paper and writes “Eat lots of fruit and vegetables. Also, eat a lot of lean meat and grains.” The doctor hands the paper to Mrs. Tan. “Eat all those things and you’ll soon lose weight.”A few weeks later, Mrs. Tan’s friend visits her. Her friend is surprised to see that Mrs. Tanis even fatter than before and she is eating a huge sandwich with chocolate and ice cream. “I thought you were on a diet,” her friend says. “Oh, I am.” Mrs. Tan answers. “I’ve already had all the food on my diet today. Now I’m having my dinner.”28. A Cheap MeaA man goes into a restaurant and sits down at one of the tables. A waiter comes up to him and gives him the menu. The man reads it carefully, then he orders all the most expensive dishes. Then a small boy comes into the restaurant and sits at the man’s table. T he waiter comes up and says to the man, “What will your little boy like, sir?” “Oh, just an ice cream,” the man tells him. After he finishes his meal, the man stands up and says to the waiter, “I’m just going out to buy a newspaper.” He leaves the restaura nt. The waiter gives the boy an ice cream. The boy eats it, and then stands up and walks to the door. The waiter runs towards him. “Excuse me,” he says, “but your father hasn’t come back and he hasn’t paid for his meal or your ice cream. You’d better stay here until your father comes back and pays his bill.” “He’s not my father,” the boy says. “The man came up to me in the street and asked me if I liked ice cream. I told him I did. The he told me to come into the restaurant at nine o’clock and sit at his ta ble. He said he would give me one.”29. ComputersMany people know what a computer is and what it can do. The computer is fast and never makes mistakes, while people are slow and often make mistakes. That’s what people often say when they talk about computers. For many years, scientists have improved computers. Now a computer can do a lot of everyday work quite well, and people can use a computer in many ways. Many computer scientists are now thinking of making the computer “think” like a man. With th e help of a person, a computer can drawpictures, write music, talk with people, and so on. Maybe a computer will think and fee one day.30. Two American PresidentsThere are stories about two U.S. presidents, Andrew Jackson and Martin Van Buren. They t ry to explain to people how the word “OK” came from. We don’t know if either story is true, but they are both interesting. Some said that President Jackson could hardly read or write. When important papers came to Jackson, he tried to read hem or asked his men to tell him what they said. If he agreed, he would write “All correct” on the Paper. The problem was that he did not know how to spell. So he wrote “OL Korekt” instead. Later it was shortened to “OK”. Others said that President Van Buren was born in Kinderhook, New York. Van Buren’s friends organized a club to help him become president. They called the club Old Kinderhook Club. Anyone in the club was called “OK”.31. A second language.One day, the mother rat and her babies were having a good time in the open air when a cat came to catch them for dinner. The mother rat noticed the cat coming near. The mother rat and her babies all tried to run away at once. They hurried to their home. It was under the tree. But the baby rats were afraid of the c at. They couldn’t run very fast. The cat came closer and closer. She would come at them. “What shall I do?” thought the mother. Just at that moment the mother rat stopped running, turned around and shouted at the c at, “Bowwow. Bowwow!” just like an angry d og. The cat was so surprised and afraid that she ran away. The mother rat turned to her babies,“Now you see how important it is to learn a second language!”32. The snowmanIt's winter now. It’s very cold in the morning. It's all white outside because it snowed yesterday. Mr. Dog wants to watch TV. But Miss Cat says, "Oh dear! It's very nice outside. Let's make a snowman." Making a snowman isn’t very easy, so they work hard. Oh, how nice the snowman! Mr. Dog puts his hat on the snowman's head. After that, they are very hungry. Their lunch is some fish, some bones and a big cake. Mr. Dog says, "It's the middle of the day. The snowman must be hungry. Let’s give the cake to him." "All right!" says Miss Cat. But the snowman isn't there. They can only see the hat. Where is he?33. Lucky or unluckyWhen Barbara was fishing, she dropped her watch.It fell into the water. Barbara was sad because it was her best watch.The next day, Barbara went fishing again. She put her hook into the water. When she pulled it up, there was her watch! It was caught on her hook.Barbara didn’t catch but she was happy. She had her watch back.34. The Great Wall of ChinaThe Great Wall of China is the longest wall in the world. It is about 6,000 kilometers long, 7 meters high and 5 meters wide. The Great Wall was built more than twenty centuries ago. It was very difficult to build such a great wall without any modern machines. Thousands of men died while they were building the wall. Have you ever been to the Great Wall? It is very famous in the world. Many foreigners come to visit it every year. They like it very much.35. Helen’s glassesHelen’s eyesight was not very good, so she usually wore glasses. But when she was seventeen years old and began to go out with a young man, she never wore her glasseswhen she was with him. When he came to the door to take her out, she took her glasses off, and when she came home and he left, she put them on again.One day her mother said to her, “But Helen, why do you never wear your glasses when you are with Jim? He takes you to beautiful places in his car, but you don’t see anything.”“Well, Mother,” said Helen, “I look prettier to Jim when I am not wearing my glasses and he looks better to me, too.”36. A desertA desert is a very dry place. It does not rain there very much. A desert is very hot, too. Only a few plants can grow in deserts. Only a few animals can live there. Those plants and animals don’t need much water to live. And don’t mind when it is hot. Can you live in a desert? Why or why not?37. Animal’s homeEverybody has a home. People live in many different kinds of houses. Animals have different kinds of homes, too. Some animals live in holes under the ground. The woodchuck lives under the ground. His home has two doors. If an enemy comes into one door, the woodchuck goes out through the other. Some animals live in holes in trees .Some squirrels build nests high in trees. Some birds live in holes in trees. Most of the birds live in nests. Crows build their nests high in trees. But hawks build their nests high in the mountains.38. A Broken Mirror and Bad Luck.Will you have bad luck if you break a mirror? Many people believe this. There is an old story about breaking mirrors.Long ago, people happened to see their faces in ponds and lakes. Some people were frightened. "That must be my soul," a person would say.The mirrors were made of shiny metal. Later, people used glass mirrors. They were careful not to break them. Breaking a mirror would harm the soul. That is how a broken mirror came to mean bad luck.The bad luck is supposed to last for seven years. You may not believe this story. You may have no bad luck with mirrors. But you should handle mirrors carefully. A broken mirror could cut you.39. Go fishingOne summer holiday I was in the forest by myself. I went down to fish in the river. Soon I got a big fish. Then I heard a great noise. There, right behind me, sat a big black bear! Wild animals are afraid of any quick move. So I moved very slowly. The bear watched me. But he sat still. I took the fish and threw it to him. He ate it at once. Now what was I going to do? I’d better go on fishing, I thought. The bear thought so, too. Soon I got another fish. I went over to him and put the fish into his big red mouth. I fished and fished-all for him. At first I was afraid to stop. Then I began to like doing it. He was so friendly. When evening came, the bear stood up and turned away from me.40. The Candy KingOnce candy was not made for children. In one country, almost 5,000 years ago, candy was made only for kings. Today, children are the candy kings. Have you ever eaten licorice? People in ancient times ate licorice, too. They did think of licorice as candy at first. They ate licorice to keep them strong and well. In some countries, people ate licorice to make them beautiful! Later, people ate it just because it tasted good! All candy was made by hand until 1845. In that year, a man made a candy machine. By the 1900s, candy was sold all over the world. Today, candy companies say a person eats from 15 to 30 pounds of candy a year. More than 2,000 different kinds of candy are made!How many kinds do you eat, candy king?41. YawnSometimes people feel sleepy. They can't stay interested in what they are doing and they open their mouths wide quickly. We call this a yawn. It makes a pretty silly face. Why do people do it? Scientist do not know much about yawns. But they have some ideas. Our bodies get tired. Our minds get tired, too. A tired mind needs air. So we yawn. The quick yawn takes in air. And the air wakes up our mind, but not for long. Watch out! Here comes another yawn.42. Two thievesMike was taken to the police station and put in a room with another thief, an older man. This man looked at Mike and said, "Why have they brought you here?" "I stole a small radio one day after my lessons," said Mike. The man laughed rudely at Mike. "You should steal something which is worth a lot if you want to be a thief. You ought to steal something really valuable, which you can be proud of, so that your name is put in the newspaper. Go and steal a lot of money from a bank next time!" Mike thought for a few seconds and then said, "I can't do that." "Why can't you?" said the old thief." Are you afraid?" "No," said Mike. "I am not afraid, but the banks all close at three o'clock, and my lessons don't finish till four."43. A Giant KiteDavid always liked kites. When he became eighteen, his father gave him a giant kite. It was so large that he thought it could carry him up into the air.David tied a rope from the kite to a boat. He grabbed onto the kite and told the person in the boat to start pulling. Soon David was gliding through the air.The boat pulled David and his kite for four hours. When the boat stopped, David splashedinto the water. He said that it had been a lot of fun.44. Once a yearTom finished school when he was eighteen years old. He wanted to work at a bank in the city. He went to the bank and asked for work there.A man took him into a small room and gave him questions on a piece of paper. Tom wrote the answer on the paper in a hurry. The man looked for a few minutes, and then said, "Was your birthday on the 12th of December, Tom?" "Yes, sir." Tom said. "What year?" the man asked. “Oh, once a year, sir. " Tom said.45. A new DietAlma and her mother were walking home when a small dog began following them. There was a note tied to the dog's collar. Alma read the note, it said, "My name is Lady. My owner cannot keep me. May I be your pet?"Alma showed the note to her mother. "May I keep the dog?" she asked. The puppy looked like a nice dog. Mother said that they could keep it. Alma and Lady were happy. Alma had a new pet, and Lady had a new home.46. The Frog That Changes colorBirds live in trees. Squirrels live in trees. But do you know that some frogs live in trees, too? The tree frog is hard to find. This frog can change color. On green leaves, it stays green. On a brown branch, it turns brown. Some tree frogs can change from green to gold or blue. Tree frogs have legs and wide feet. They have sticky pads at the ends of their toes. These sticky toe pads keep the tree frogs from falling. Tree frogs have different colors and markings on their skin. Their eyes are different, too. Some green eyes, some gray. Some frogs' eyes are gold, and some are bright red.The sounds they make in spring and summer are different, too. One frog makes a soundlike a dog barking. Another frog makes a loud noise like a snore. There is even a frog that whistles!47. The City of San FranciscoSan Francisco is a beautiful American city. It lies on the western coastline of the United States. It has lovely views and beautiful scenery. The Golden Gate Bridge, for instance, is a beautiful place to visit. Every day, thousands of people come to visit and enjoy its views.San Francisco is a hilly city. The lovely hills in the middle of the city make it the most attractive place. Many people walk up and down the hills, and some of the visitors also like to drive on the paths. They can see more places then. There are also visitors who like to take cable cars. They can get a better view of the city while the cars are moving along the tracks.Besides the Golden Gate Bridge and the hills, Chinatown is also a place worth seeing. Every day many people come to visit Chinatown. Some of them are coming to taste Chinese food, Others are coming for Chinese articles. You can buy wonderful Chinese objects in Chinatown.48. Benjamin FranklinBenjamin Franklin liked to study and learn about new things. One day he heard a friend say that something black in color absorbs the heat better than something white in color. Franklin wanted to see if this was true.There was snow on the ground at that time. So he put two large pieces of cloth on the snow. One piece of cloth was black in color, while the other was white. Then he waited. The sun began to shine. After several hours, he looked under the pieces of cloth. He saw that the snow under the black cloth melted much faster than the snow under the white。

The passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage.On August 5 10:31 p.m. PST, a rover（探测器）named Curiosity touched down safely on the surface of Mars, and I was lucky enough to have a front-row seat.My name is Clara, and when I was in Grade 6, I won the essay contest（征文比赛）NASA held to name its next Mars rover. The essay I wrote was not even 250 words long, but somehow it was enough to change my life.I still remember that cold December day, sitting in a science class. I’d finished a worksheet early and decided to get a Time for Kids magazine off Mrs. Estevez’s bookshelf. It was the 2008 Invention Issue, but that wasn’t the only thing that caught my eye. In the magazine, there was an article about a girl who named the Mars Exploration Rovers, Spirit and Opportunity. The article also talked about the essay contest NASA was holding to name its next Mars rover. Before I even knew anything else about it, a single word flooded my 11-year-old mind: Curiosity.I couldn’t wait for the bell to ring so I could get started o n my essay. That afternoon, I raced home from the bus stop, sat down at the computer, and typed until my fingers ached. It turned out that I was just in time. A few days later, and the contest would have closed.Five months later, shortly after I had turned 12, I was watching a National Geographic special on mammoths when the phone rang. My mom answered, and immediately, a wide smile spread across her face. When she told me that I had won, I was happier than I could ever remember being. I screamed and ran up and down that stairs and all around the house. I completely forgot about the mammoths and did not even remember to turn off the TV until it was really late.Curiosity is such an important part of who I am. I have always been fascinated by the stars, the planets, the sky and the universe. I remember as a little girl, my grandfather and I would sit together in the backyard for hours. He’d tell me stories and point out the stars.My grandfather lived in China, thousands of miles away from my home in Kansas. I loved the stars because they kept us together even when we were apart. They were always there, yet there was so much I didn’t know about them. That’s what I love so much about space. No matter how much we learn, it will always possess some mystery.In the past, space exploration may have been a competition to see who got somewhere first or the fastest. But now, it is one of the few things that bring people together. Science is a language that needs no translation. It doesn’t matter where you’re from or what you look like ----you just have to have a thirst for knowledge and a passion for learning in order to succeed.People often ask me why we go to faraway places like Mars. Why do we explore? My answer to that is simple: because we can; because we’re curious; because we as human beings do not just stay holed up in one place. We are constantly wondering and trying to find out what’s over the hill and beyond the horizon.The Curiosity rover is more than just a robot. It is more than just a titanium body and aluminum wheels. Curiosity represents the hard work, passion, love and commitment of thousands of people from all over the world who were brought together by science. Science is so awesome. It is breathtaking and mind-blowing; and sometimes, it’s jus t a little bit crazy. The discoveries we make about our world are incredibly humbling. They move us forward and have the potential to benefit all of mankind.This December it will be four years of my life that have been tied to Curiosity in some way. I’ve met so many amazing people through this experience, form scientists to engineers to administrators to volunteers. Their devotion and enthusiasm inspire me greatly. My journey with Curiosity and the MSL mission team has shaped the person that I am today, as well as the person I would one day like to become.I am deeply grateful to everyone who made it possible for me to have this amazing adventure.And to you, I hope your curiosity take you far.( )11. The method the writer uses to begin the passage is ____.A. telling a storyB. giving an exampleC. offering an explanationD. describing a scene( )12. Why did the writer hurry home to finish the essay for the contest NASA held?A. She had just gathered enough information from Time for Kids.B. She wanted to write down what flashed through her mind in time.C. She knew from Mrs. Estevez the deadline for the contest was approaching.D. She was afraid she might miss the chance to compete with the former winner.( )13. The writer mentions her grandfather in order to show that ____.A. she missed him very muchB. he knew a great deal about spaceC. he influenced her to love the starsD. she treasured their happy moments( )14. Which of the following serves as a summary of Paragraph II?A. The writer was inspired to be a volunteer by the people she met.B. The writer owed her success to her team members’ encouragement.C. The writer met many difficulties in her four-year life with Curiosity.D. The writer has benefited a lot from her experience tied to Curiosity.( )15. Which best describes the writer’s tone in the passage?A. SharpB. ProudC. AggressiveD. Enthusiastic( )16. What is conveyed in the passage?A. Curiosity is important to human beings.B. A thirst for knowledge helps one grow up.C. Entering a contest is a way to achieve success.D. Curiosity changes people’s attitude toward science.SECTION C （30 marks）Directions: Complete the following passage by filling in each blank with one word that best fits the context.One afternoon I toured an art museum while waiting for my husband to finish a business meeting．I was looking forward to a quiet view of the splendid artwork．A young _17_ viewing the paintings ahead of me _18_ nonstop between themselves．I watched them a moment and decided the lady was doing all the talking．I admired the man's_19_ for putting up with her_20_stream of words．_21_ by their noise, I moved on．I met them several times as I moved to the various rooms of art．Each time I heard her continuous flow of words, I moved away_22_.I was standing at the counter of the museum gift shop making a purchase when the couple approached the_23_.Before they left, the man reached into his pocket and pulled out a white object．He lengthened it into a long stick and then_24_ his way into the coatroom to get his wife's jacket．"He's a_25_ man, " the clerk at the counter said．" Most of us would give up if we were blinded at such a young age．During his recovery, he made a promise his life wouldn't change．So, as before, he and his wife come in_26_ there is a new art show．""But what does he get out of the art?"

I would join them now and then, but I preferred watching.Every day, we would see an old man walking by our playground, carrying an umbrella. He had big ears and a bald head. The moment my friends saw him pass by, they would shout, "Hey, deaf and dumb, what's the time?" They told me that he could neither hear nor speak.It was early evening. I was standing at the gate of my house, when I saw the old man coming. I was alone. There were no friends around to shout the usual words of 'greeting'.But how could I let this man walk by without saying anything? So for the first time, I asked in a soft voice, "Hey, deaf and dumb, what's the time?”The old man looked at me.

She received a text message and looked down at her phone for seconds, but the next thing she knew--Colin Lambert was gone. Looking around for the 18-month-old boy, she quickly noticed the youngster climbing inside of a claw machine(夹娃娃机).With his feet hanging out of the door at the bottom of the machine, Colin kicked back when Mrs. O'Neill tried to grab his legs and made his way inside. He then sat among the soft toys.Mrs. O'Neil dialed 911, but she quickly felt at ease, realizing that the youngster wasn't hurt. She told WBIR: 'My biggest fear that he was going to try and climb back over and try and get out because the piece of glass that keeps the toys in was broken. 'It was the funniest thing because he was the kid in the box. He was hitting the sides trying to find out how to get out.'Mrs. O'Neil then called the boy's mother,who had been sleeping after a long day at work. Fearing for her son, she asked if he was alright. Mrs. O'Neill sent her a photo of Colin on her cell phone and she burst out laughing.It is not the first time in recent months a child has been caught inside one of the machines. In April a little girl from Fort Lauderdale was able to climb into the claw machine and gain access to a pile of stuffed animals which she handed out to all who desired to claim a prize. The same month Karl Ireland went missing from his apartment in Nebraska. His worried parents then found him cuddling the soft toys in a nearby arcade.51.Why didn’t Mrs. O’Neil notice Colin was climbing into a claw machine?A. Because she was busy washing clothes.B.

He needed to have someone to play with and to take care of him. After she told me that he looked like a blonde fox, I was sold.

不参加此环节都不知道你原来如此会演。

评委老师说了，你那么能演，说不定未来的奥斯卡得主就是你了，还等什么？来挑战吧！
B: 不战不勇
一方唱罢，一方登场。

此环节考得就是你的勇气加才识。

两人一组的你们将对一个问题各自展开自己的阐述后进行激烈讨论。

评委老师将根据你们的整体表现来进行评判。

尽管你们口若悬河可还是要注意时间的限制，此环节计时是在读题后开始，先计30秒共同思考时间，再依次每人有60秒的阐述时间。

最后90秒的自由讨论时间里你们可以使出浑身解数尽显各自才华。

谁能笑到最后，且看粉墨登场。
