四、阅读理解(每小题1分，共10分)
A
American schools are quite different from those in China. In America, at the beginning of the term, students must select their subjects and teachers first.
Selecting is very important for your marks in America. So at the first term, don't select too many subjects, or you'll feel very nervous and tired. Then you have to ask for some teaching plans. There is some information about subjects, timetables, marks and textbooks. At the same time, you must choose the teachers. Different teachers have different teaching methods. If the teacher is called “killer” by th e last grade, many students will give up choosing him, because this kind of teacher will leave too much homework, too many exams and give too low grades. There is another thing after you select the subjects and the teachers. How to buy textbooks makes each student feel hard. The textbooks in America are very expensive. Each one is about $30－50. In order to save money, many students buy some used textbooks, and some students usually borrow textbooks from the school library.
In class, discussing is very important. The teacher encourages you to ask questions or show your own opinions. They don't usually ask you to sit well. Instead, they allow you to sit or stand everywhere you like.
()36. What does the underlined word “select” mean?
A. Choose.
B. Like.
C. Treat.
D. Take.
()37. According to the text, American students ________.
A. don't have to ask for teaching plans
B. don't have to choose teachers
C. would like to choose strict teachers
D. usually buy some used textbooks in order to save money
()38. Which of the following is NOT true?
A. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too much homework.
B. Students won't choose the teacher who leaves too many exams.
C. Students will choose the teacher who is called “killer”．
D. Students won't choose the teacher who gives too low marks.
()39. What is important in American classes?
A. Reading.
B. Writing.
C. Discussing.
D. Listening.
()40. The passage is mainly about ________.
A. the differences between American and Chinese schools
B. American schools
C. the differences between American and Chinese students
D. American school subjects
B
Most people want to be happy, but few know how to find happiness. Money and success alone do not bring lasting happiness. Happiness depends on ourselves. In other words, we make our own happiness.
Here are a few suggestions to help you be happier.
The first secret of happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life. Too often, we spend so much time thinking about the future—for example, getting into college or getting a good job—that we fail to enjoy the present. You should enjoy life's simple pleasures, such as reading a good book, listening to your favourite music or spending time with close friends. People who have several close friends often live happier and healthier lives.
Another secret of living a happy life is to be active. Having hobbies makes you forget your problems and time. Many people experience this by dancing, swimming or playing a sport. You can forget about your problems, and only think about the activity.
Finally, many people find happiness in helping others. Studies show that people feel good when they spend their time helping others. If you want to feel happier, do good things for someone. You can help a friend with his or her studies, go shopping to buy food for an elderly person or
simply help out around the house by washing the dishes.
()41. The passage gives us three pieces of advice on ________．
A. how to solve problems
B. how to find happiness
C. how to enjoy life
D. how to succeed
()42. The third paragraph tells us that ________．
A. the more friends you have, the happier you will be
B. we shouldn't think about our future
C. happiness is to enjoy the simple things in life
D. some people fail to help others
()43. The writer thinks that ________．
A. it's wrong to spend time on work
B. everyone knows how to live a happier life
C. hobbies take up too much time
D. doing good things for someone can make you happier
()44. Which of the following is NOT mentioned in the passage?
A. Reading a good book.
B. Travelling to a foreign country.
C. Playing a sport.
D. Spending time with close friends.
()45. The best title for this passage is “________”．
A. The secrets of happiness
B. Money makes you happy
C. Helping others makes you happy
D. Good friends make you happy
五、任务型阅读(每小题1分，共10分)
Four types of friends you need in your life
Do you know that people will die early if they have no friends during their lifetime? The survey shows if you want to live longer and more happily, you need to have some friends who can share your sadness and happiness or can be helpful when you are in trouble.
The following four types of friends are just what you need to keep the doctor away.
1. A loyal best friend
Everyone needs a friend who will support you in different situations. This kind of friend knows all of your deepest and darkest secrets, but still loves you all the same.
2. A friendly neighbour
These days, a lot of people don't know their own neighbours. It's a shame, because some neighbours can be the most helpful people. If you forget to lock the front door when you are on holiday, you can call your neighbours to lock it for you.So it's wonderful to have nice and helpful neighbours.
3. A workmate
You'll find it much easier to chat with someone than eating lunch alone every day. Your workmate doesn't have to be your best friend. If you two get along well with each other, you can always start going out with him/her outside the office.
4. A friend from a different culture
If everyone had a friend from a different culture, the world would be a much better place. Remember that don't be friends with someone just because he/she is from a different culture. Instead, keep your mind open, and if you meet some people from other places, try to learn about their customs, values, and traditions.
If you have such kinds of friends, you will surely live longer and more happily.

In the past, when students graduated from college and got jobs, only some of them went on with their study. But today, lifelong learning is becoming more and more common.
Lucy, who is forty, teaches physics at a colle ge in Boston. “Next term, I'll teach some of my classes by using the Internet. This is the way of teaching that I've never used before. These days, I am taking a class to learn how to teach in this way. If not, I will lose my job.” At the same time, Lucy's seventy－year－old parents, who live in New York, are taking an art history class online. “We love this subject，”says her father, “and we learn it to enjoy ourselves. You see we can study with people all over the world. What fun it is to learn like this！”

My ideal school life
I am a student in Grade 9. I have to get up at 6：00 a．m. every day, because we begin our classes at 7：00 a．m. There are four lessons in the morning and also four lessons in the afternoon.
I have too much homework to do every day.
I hope my ideal school begins at 9：00 a．m. and finishes at 4：00 p．m. After school, we can do many after－school activities. We can join many clubs at school, like Chess Club, Singing Club, Swimming Club and so on. We can have lessons not only in class but also on the Internet. At the same time, we can chat with our friends online and discuss our lessons with each other.
This is my ideal school life. I hope my dream will come true some day.。
