He named the place Costa Rica, which means “rich coast” in Spanish.Though little gold was found, Costa Rica today is indeed rich with coffee and bananas. Coffee is the most important product in Costa Rica and most of it is exported to other countries like America and West Germany. Bananas are the country’s second most important export.Costa Ricans also grow many other crops such as fruits, corn and beans for their own use. Costa Ricans love colors and their houses are painted in bright colors.Education is very important to the Costa Ricans. Almost every village has a school and education is a must for children between seven and fourteen years of age. Boys and girls go to separate schools. Classes begin in March and end in November. The other three months of the year are harvest time and the children have to help their parents to pick coffee beans.21．What’s the main idea of the first paragraph?A. How Columbus found Costa Rica.B. How Costa Rica got its name.C. What the Costa Ricans wore.D. What language the Costa Ricans spoke.22．The Costa Ricans may NOT paint their houses ______.A. pink and red.B. grey and blackC. blue and green.D. yellow and orange23．From December to February, school children in Costa Rica ______.A. have lessons every dayB. have their examinationsC. help their parents pick coffee beansD. go to separate schools24．This passage is mainly about ______.A. Christopher ColumbusB. Costa RicaC. some products from Costa RicaD. the education of Costa RicaBThe weather is getting hotter. You are thirsty playing basketball or riding home from school. A cold drink may be just the thing. But be careful what you are drinking. Something that looks cool may not be good for your health. There are plenty of “energy drinks” on the market. Most of them have beautiful colors and cool names. The lists on them tell you they are helpful to your health. Sounds great!But after a careful check you may find that most energy drinks have lots of caffeine(咖啡碱)in them. These drinks are especially aimed at young people, students, busy people and sports players. Makers sometimes say their drinks make you better at sports and can keep you awake. But be careful not to drink too much. Caffeine makes your heart beat fast. Because of this, the International Olympic Committee(IOC) has limited(限制) its use. Caffeine in most energy drinks is at least as strong as that in a cup of coffee or tea. Possible health dangers have something to do with energy drinks. Just one box of energy drink can make you nervous, have difficulty sleeping and can even cause heart problems. Scientists say that teenagers should be discouraged from taking drinks with a lot of caffeine in them.25．Many people like drinking energy drinks because of the following EXCEPT that ______.A. they have beautiful colors and cool namesB. they have lots of caffeineC. they can keep them awake and better at sportsD. they are said to be helpful to health26．The underlined word “discouraged” can be replaced(替换) with ______.A. encouragedB. stoppedC. helpedD. disliked27．From the passage we can know that ______.A. advertisements are important in getting people to buy energy drinksB. energy drinks are helpful to teenagers’ studyC. sports players need to drink a lot of energy drinksD. energy drinks are especially aimed at teenagersHarry is eighteen now. He studies in a middle school. His parents like him very much and hope he can become a famous man. So they often tell him to study hard and they do all for him. They call him at six in the morning, after breakfast his father takes him to school in a car and in the afternoon, as soon as the young man comes back, the supper is ready. Of course, he never washes his clothes or goes to buy something in the shops.Once Harry’s father was sent to London on business. He would stay there for half a year. Leaving, he told his wife to take good care of their son. The woman had to get up earlier and did all her husband did before. And two months later she was so tired that she was ill in bed. Now the young man got into trouble. He couldn’t do any housework. He had to do as his mother told him. Even he didn’t know where to get on the bus!Yesterday Harry’s mothe r found his shoes were worn out and told him to buy a new pair in the shop. But he didn’t know how to choose. The woman had a sigh(叹息) and gave him a shoe pattern(鞋样) and told him to buy a pair of shoes himself. It’s Saturday today and Harry doesn’t go to school. With a policeman’s help, he found a shop. The shopkeeper was friendly to him. The man brought a lot of shoes and asked him to choose. When he was trying on a pair, suddenly he remembered something and took them off. The man was surprised and asked, “What’s the matter, young man?”“I’m sorry, I’ve left the shoe pattern at home!”28．_______ always does some housework in the morning.A. Harry’s motherB.

Once a habit is formed, it is difficult, and sometimes impossible, to get rid of. 32Children often form bad habits, some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits as long as they live, and sometimes become ruined by them.33 Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life, such as early rising, honesty and thoroughness.Among the habits which children should not form are laziness, lying, stealing and so on. 34 Unfortunately older persons often form habits which ought to have been avoided.We ought to keep from all these bad habits. 35A. There are other habits which, when formed in early life, are of great help.B. Whether good or not habit are, they are easy to get rid of.C. Meanwhile, try to form such habits as will prove good for ourselves and others.D. Habits, whether good or bad, are gradually formed.E. It is very important for us to know why we should get used to good habits.F. These are all easily formed habits.G. It’s therefore very important for us to pay atte ntion to the formation of habits.第II卷（非选择题）四、语法填空（每空1.5分*10=15）阅读下面短文，在空白处填入适当的内容（不多于三个单词）或者括号内单词的正确形式。
