A
Farah was sitting in the kitchen going over the party list with her mother. The exams were over and Farah wanted to invite her friends for a party.
“Farah，aren’t you goin g to invite Hafsa？” her mother asked. Hafsa had been her best friend since childhood. “Mother，you know I am now a part of Purple Girls Club and we have some rules about people we can be friends with.” Farah answered. “Really? And what are the rules?” her mother asked. “Well，only very pretty girls can be part of our group. And Hafsa is so...you know...dark.” “I cannot believe it，”her mother said angrily.
As Farah left the kitchen，her father called her from the living room. Farah went to her father and pal ed when she saw the exam report in his hands. “Farah，what has happened to your grades? You have failed in Mathematics.” her father said. Farah had no answer. The truth was that the activities of Purple Girls Club left her with very little time for studies.
“Farah，it says that you can take part in supplementary exams(补考). If your grades don’t improve then，I’ll cancel(取消) your trip to Spain.”
Farah went to her room and called Gina，the leader of Purple Girls Club，“Gina，can you help me to complete my notes before the exams?” Gina laughed，“Exams? Who cares about exams?” One by one，Farah called her friends in the club but no one seemed to care or wanted to help.
Farah knew Hafsa would help her. Farah also knew Hafsa had been hurt by her，but Hafsa said，“If you need any help，just let me know. We can study together till your exams.”
Next Monday，as two friends entered the school together，Gina called out，“Farah，you know our rules. You cannot be friends with those who do not belong to our club.”
“Gina，I hav e a new rule about friendship.” Farah replied.
21．After Farah became a member of Purple Girls Club，she chose a friend according to a person’s________.
A．grades B．usual activities C．looks D．favorite colors
22．Farah became pale after going to her father because________.
A．he didn’t allow her to go to Spain B．she didn’t do well in her exams
C．she had to leave Purple Girls Club D．he asked her to improve her grades 23．Which word can best describe Hafsa?
A. Silly
B. Beautiful
C. Rude
D. Kind
24．What lesson can we learn from the passage?
A.A friend in need is a friend indeed.
B. A perfect friend will never be found.
C. Be slow in choosing a friend.
D. Friendship can be developed easily.
B
Have you ever thought of such questions as “Why do I have to study math?” or “I am not interested in history at all. My dream is to be an actor. Should I give history up?”
Maybe you are right. After y ou leave school, it’s not necessary for you to understand everything. But please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things.
First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find what you like and what you don’t like. This may be helpful to you in the future.
Second, maybe you don’t like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. At school, you should practice your brain by thinking.
Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn French at school, but you don’t need to speak French at all. But learning French can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a good job well. At school I learned French well, and now I must be able to learn German. But if you have no confidence, what will happen?
Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because it is hard for us to get the highest mark. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greater progress.
25．At school you should .
A. stop learning the subjects you don’t like
B. both get knowledge and improve your ability
C. pay more attention to math and French
D. learn French instead of English
26．Math can improve one’s .
A. logical thinking ability
B. skills in computer
C. interest in other subjects
D. ability of finding a job
27．Learning French can help us .
A. make greater progress
B. go to France
C. get a good result in the exam
D. have confidence in learning languages
C
First Day at School
It was my first day at school in London and I was half-excited and half-frightened. On my way to school I wondered, what questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers: "I am nine years old.
I was born here but I haven't lived here since I was two. I was living in Farley. It's about thirty miles away. I came back to London two months ago." I also wondered if it was the rule for boys to fight strangers like me, but I was tall for my age. I hoped they would decide not to risk it.
No one took any notice of me before school. I stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say "hello", but no one spoke to me.
My teacher was called Mr. Jones. There were 42 boys in the class, so I didn't stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. Mr. Jones was very fond of Charles Dickens, so he asked several boys if they knew Dickens' birthplace, but no one guessed right. A boy called Brian, the biggest in the class, said: "Timbuktu” and Mr. Jones went red in the face. Then he asked me. I said: "Portsmouth” and everyone stared at me because Mr. Jones said I was right. This didn't make me very popular, of course. “He thinks he's clever," I heard Brian say.
After that, we went out to the playground to play football. I was in Brian's team, and he obviously had Dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. No one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.
"He's big enough and useless enough;" Brian said when someone asked him why he had chosen me.
As the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, I threw myself down quickly and saved it. All my team crowded round me. My bare knees were grazed and bleeding. Brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me.
"Do you want to join my gang (team)?" he said.
At the end of the day, I was no longer a stranger.
28．The writer prepared to answer all of the following questions EXCEPT "__________".
A. How old are you?
B. Where are you from?
C. Do you want to join my gang?
D. When did you come back to London?
29．The underlined part "I didn't stand out" in paragraph 3 means that the writer was not ______.
A. noticeable
B. nervous
C. important
D. outstanding
30．The writer was offered a handkerchief because _________________.
A. he was in Brian’s team
B. he was no longer a new comer
C. he was beginning to be accepted
D. he pushed a player on the other team
第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
阅读下面短文。

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。

选项中有两项为多余选项。

Perhaps you are an average student with average intelligence（智力）. You probably think you will never be a top student. This is not necessarily the case, however. You can receive better grades without additional work if you follow these tips:
Plan your time carefully. Make a list of your weekly tasks. Then make a schedule of your time and decide on good, regular times for studying. 31 It’s important to set aside time for relaxation, hobbies, and entertainment as well. This weekly schedule will ensure that you have enough time for both work and play.
Skim before you read. This means looking over a passage quickly before you begin to read it more carefully. Get some idea of the content and how it is organized first. 32
Make good use of your time in class. 33 Sit where you can see and hear well. Take notes to help you remember what the teacher says.
Study regularly. Go over your notes as soon as you can after class. 34 And regular review also leads to improved performance on test.
35 The purpose of a test is to show what you have learned about a subject. The world won’t end if you don’t pass a test, so don’t worry about a single test. Tests provide grades, but they also let you know what you need to spend more time studying.
There are other techniques that might help you with your studying. Improving your study habits will improve your grades.
A. Take tests seriously.
B. Develop a right attitude towards tests.
C. Listening to what the teacher says in class means less work later.
D. Of course, studying shouldn’t take up all of the free time on the schedule.
E. This helps double your reading speed and improves your understanding as well.
F. Be sure to set aside enough time to complete your normal reading and work assignments.
G. If you review your notes and textbook regularly, the material will become more meaningful.
