Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 41 from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 42 for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as often 43 to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 44and ill health.The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more prim itive (远古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death.

Reading comprehension:Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D.

But it is getting 50 nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? 51 is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off 52 hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt 53 the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be more 54 : hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of 55 in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars?Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The 56 hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s still57 to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting —lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My 58 is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help 59 .The 60 of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharing organized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, 61 just to hold up my destination sign) and people —wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people — will stop.In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a62 of it.

Each 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 you have just read.(A)London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike.Transport for London, which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor B oris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found t hey couldn’t dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldn’t charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Som e other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hire the bicycles.Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, “My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”65. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order to ___________.A. reduce the air pollution of the cityB. encourage the citizens to take exercisesC. deal with the city’s traffic problemsD. increase employment opportunities66. If you want to hire a bike, what would you do first?A. Pay for the bike according to the time you use it.B. Pay for the key to a bike.C. Cycle in and around central London.D. Sign up as a member to get a key.67. All the following are the problems of the scheme EXCEPT___________．A. the high cost to hire a bikeB. not charging for the first day of the schemeC. not registering their usage of the bikesD. docking the bikes properly68. From the passage we can infer that __________.A. the London Mayor is confident in the schemeB. the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsC. all the citizens in London support the schemeD. the cycling revolution is not successful(B)Sabina Caste Franco Rome October 16,2011—The U.N. World Food program says there are growing concerns over food insecurity in the developing world. Some of those concerns are discussed in a report to agree with the anniversary Sunday of World Food Day.The theme for World Food Day 2011 is “Food Prices — From Crisis to Stability”. A ceremony to mark World Food Day will be held Monday at the headquarters of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. Rising food prices, weather emergencies and political instability are deepening the struggle of families trying to provide for their households in many developing nations. This year’s “State of Food Insecurity in the World”report, published last week, focuses on the impact of food price volatility, confirming that high, unpredictable prices are likely to continue. The report highlighted how poor consumers, small farmers and countries dependent on imports, especially in Africa, have been deeply affected by the food and economic crises.Gregory Barrow is with the World Food Program in Rome. “If you look at the places where World Food program works particularly in developing countries, you see populations of people who might be spending 60, 70, 80 percent of their salaries on purchasing food for their families”. Barrow added that if prices become changeful and generally start rising, even by a small amount, it means that many of these people are going to struggle to put nutritious food on their tables.The report also showed that even short-term fluctuations (波动) in prices can have a long-term effect on development, and that cutting back on nutritious food in the first 1,000 days of a child’s life can affect mental and physical development and finally, future earning capacity. The United Nations has programs in place aimed at reducing the number of hungry people by one-half by 2015. But most observers agree this target is unlikely to be reached.69. The U.N World Food program aims to __________.A. hold a ceremony to mark World Food DayB. provide food for developing nationsC. show concerns over food insecurity in the developing worldD. introduce the U.N Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome70. The underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 2 means __________.A. supplyB. instabilityC. qualityD. control71. According to the report, we can learn that __________.A. people in Africa have been influenced by the food and economic crisesB. the short-term change in prices has nothing to do with developmentC. food price changes have little effect on householdsD. children’s development can be affected by the taking of nutritious food(C)In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behaviour and organizational psychology has been that happy workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are moreproductive. Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair and his former PhD student Carrie Lavis recently conducted a series of four studies addressing the effects of experimentally induced (诱发的) happiness versus sadness on work productivity by asking the participants to build circuit boards (电路板). In the first study, sad people committed significantly fewer errors than did happy people (approximately half the number of errors) but there was no difference in the number of boards completed. Thus, sad people were more productive.In similar studies Sinclair and Lavis found the same results along with evidence that happy people might not devote as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods —they considered that task as something that might detract (减去) from their present feelings. Conversely, sad people appeared to be devoting energy to the task in order to divert themselves from their sad feelings. “It is important to know that the moods were unrelated to the task,” said Sinclair. “Unhappiness is coming from something else.”These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology demonstrating that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and, often, more thoughtful or accurate judgments.In Sinclair’s following studies, when people believed that the task would make them feel good, they devoted more energy to the job. The bottom line, said Sinclair, is that it is important for organizations to take into account the emotions of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good: this could cause increases in motivation and superior performance.72. The new research done at the University of Alberta shows __________.A. sadness leads to accurate judgmentsB. sad workers are less engaged in their workC. sad workers produce betterD. happiness can make people do well73. The purpose of the series of four studies conducted by Dr. Sinclair was __________.A. to find out the influence of happiness vs. sadness on workB. to ask the subjects to build circuit boardsC. to prove that happy workers are better workersD. to explore the ways how to produce happiness or sadness at work74. According to the third paragraph, the happy workers might not devote as much energyto the task because __________.A. they hate doing the same job for a long timeB. they never feel sadC. happiness diverts them from their taskD. they want to keep their happy moods75. It is suggested in the last paragraph that __________.A. increases in motivation and superior performance are importantB. companies should take into consideration employees’ emotionsC. companies should create situations that make workers feel goodD. employees should do the task that would make them feel goodSection CDirections:Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Tips for dealing with depression76.Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away. On your own, it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression. But the very nature of depression makes it difficult to reach out for help. However, isolation and loneliness make depression even worse, so maintaining your close77.Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter, and your expectations for the future. But you can’t break out of this pessimistic mind frame by “just thinking positive.” Happy thoughts or wishful thinking won’t cut it. Rather, the trick is to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.78.In order to overcome depression, you have to take care of yourself. This includes following a healthy lifestyle, learning to manage stress, setting limits on what you’re able to do, adopting79.When you’re depressed, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing. But exercise is a powerful tool for dealing with depression. In fact, studies show that regular exercise can be aseffective as antidepressant medication at increasing energy levels and decreasing feelings of fatigue. Scientists haven’t figured out exactly why exercise is such a potent antidepressant, but evidence suggests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain, increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins, reduces stress, and relieves muscle tension —80.If you find your depression getting worse and worse, seek professional help. Needing more help doesn’t mean you’re weak. Sometimes the negative thinking in depression can make you feel like you’re a lost cause, but depression can be treated and you can feel better!Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words. All over the world mentioning of English education suggests a picture of the “public schools”, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions — Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in reality form a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton. Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools. However, although the public schools are not important numerically, they have been England’s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure. For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking,insurance, high finance, some industries, the army, the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in no more than 12 words.)81. British public schools are not as their names suggests because they are ______________.82. The public schools are not important in certain senses because _____________________.83. Why must all British children between the age of five and sixteen attend a school?84. Why do people easily think of public schools when British education is mentioned?第II 卷(共45分)I.

You have worked all school term on your classes and now it‟s the time to prove what you have learned. With so much at stake (处于成败关头), it is easy to get stressed about your exams. However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease.When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened! Take the middle path -- stay calm, eat healthy and get a rest. Pushing yourself too hard is just as dangerous as not studying enough. A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That‟s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome. You have overcome all kinds of difficulties in you life so far. With the right amount of work and focus, you will pass your exams with flying colours! High school is right around the corner!93.

But I‟ve discovereda way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and excitingway to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don‟tclimb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,schools and camps have one.You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually notexpensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing isone reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I‟m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can‟t stop grinning. I did it!Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip. But make sure your partner knows how to use this equipment. And if you are a first-timeclimber, get some instruction before you begin.93. Is indoor climbing cheaper and safer than real rock climbing?94. On what do indoor climbers climb?95. What are the reasons that make the indoor climbing so popular?96. Who should always be with you when you climb?97. What does your partner do as you climb?98. Which do you think sounds more fun, rock climbing or indoor climbing? Why?2012崇明县初三英语第一学期期末试卷D.

They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation.I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15 a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don‟t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn‟t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend‟s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn‟t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. It soon became clear that they didn‟t know much. They couldn‟t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald‟s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe t hey have too much money.

His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu Niu grew up listening to his father's student playing the piano. At just threeyears old, Niu Niu asked his father to teach him to play, too."I gave Niu Niu some sheet music(活动乐谱)and helped him find the eight notes(琴键)when he first played the piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct," said the father. He used to think that 3 years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.Playing for funZhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four.

He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can memorize about 80 pages.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题)：(12分)Green is an important color in nature. It is the color of grass and the leaves on trees. It is also the color of most growing plants.Sometimes, the word green means young, fresh and growing. Sometimes, it describes something that is not yet ripe (成熟) or finished.

What does a greenhorn now refer to?94. Is the person with a green thumb good at growing plants?95. Who works hard and helps to develop new kinds of rice and other grains?96. People don't use green to describe people's feeling, do they?97. When was the expression "the green-eyed monster" probably firstly used?98.

And for the youngstars who have spent half their lives filming the movie, the pain of saying goodbye could not begreater. But there are several things Tom Felton---also known as Harry's school nemesi s (复仇者)Draco Malfoy --- is looking forward to. And from the moment you see him, it is clear why."For the past ten years we haven't had much free time to do other things. I certainly haven't had much free time to keep my own hair color, or lie in the sun, or do anything with only a little danger like skiing. It was nice to go on holiday and not have to make up on the SPF50 and sit under an umbrella with three caps on," Tom said.For all the fame and wealth that Harry Potter has brought its young stars, there have been plenty of downsides, too.Tom is now 23 but talks like he is ten years older, and his co-stars have been working since they were young children. And while he says he has no regrets about being in the movies, he also says that at the same time he had to grow up fast."One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up fax missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous(可笑的). You will never get those years back. Don't you think you can put a price on them?""And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality."The youngest of four brothers brought up in a middle-class home in Epsom, Surrey, he honestly says that no one in the family knew what to do with all the money he was making. His mother invested some of it in property(不动产) but told him the rest was his to do with what he wanted.93. Who is Tom Felton known as in the film Harry Potter?94.

Fifteen ounces(盎司)of silver had the same value of oneounce of gold.These values did not change until after 1860 when mines(银矿)in the west of the United Statesbegan to 80 large amounts of silver. This extra amount of silver caused the price of silver to 81 . Then fifteen ounces of silver would no longer buy one ounce of gold. In 1871 Germany declared(宣布)that it would not support its paper money with silver any more. Instead, it would use only gold. Other countries of Europe quickly 82 the same. The United States passed a law in 1973 that prevented the government from using silver as money. Western silver producers protested(抗议)loudly and put much pressure on the 83 makers.

It was really my wife's idea."I know that you love her," she said one day. "But I love you," I said. "I know, but you also love her."The 80 woman that my wife wanted me to visit was my mother. She has been a widow(寡妇) for 19 years. That night I called to invite her to go out for dinner and a movie."What's wrong, are you well?" she asked. My mother thought that a late night call, or a surprise 81 is a sign of bad news. "I thought that it would be pleasant to pass some time with you," I answered. She thought about it for a moment and said, "I would like that very much."That Friday after work, I drove over to 82 her up. When I arrived at her house, I found herwaiting in the door with her coat on. She looked very old and thin. "I told my friends that I wasgoing to go out with 83 son, and they were impressed," she said, as she got into the car.We went to a restaurant that was very nice and comfortable. My mother took my arm as if she were the First Lady. After we sat down, I began to read the menu. Then I lifted my eyes and saw Mom sitting there smiling at me.

Napkin （餐巾）etiquette has developed over time.According to proper etiquette today, one should put one’s napkin on one’s lap （膝盖）as soon as everyone is seated at the table. When one excuse oneself and leaves the table for a few minutes, one should leave one’s napkin on one’s chair. When one is finished with one’s meal and is leaving the table, one should 81 one’s napkin to the right of one’s plate.What was napkin etiquette like before it developed into what it is today? In ancient Egyptian, Greek and Roman times, the etiquette was quite different. Napkins were much 82 . Often, they were as large as bath towels. Banquets （宴会）usually lasted for hours, and people ate with their hands. Although finger bowls filled with83 would sometimes be available, the large napkins were necessary if one wanted to stay reasonably clean.A second use for the napkin developed in the sixth century B.C. Roman society. At thattime, 84 were expected to take food home. The uneaten food was wrapped up and carriedin one’s napkin. It was considered not polite to leave empty-handed.Napkin size changed 85 with an invention. The invention that caused this size change was the fork. Since people began to use forks, their hands no longer get as dirty as before. Although napkins became smaller in size, many Europeans did not use them. The custom was to wipe one’s hands on the tablecloth. At that time, tablecloths were so large that one could use a part of it to cover one’s lap. Covering one’s lap with the tablecloth served two purposes （目的）. One could wipe one’s hands on it, and one could protect his lap from getting dirty.80.

He did not know that was coming for every big dog in California. Men had found gold in the Yukon, and these men wanted big, strong dogs to work in the cold and snow of the north.Buck lived in Mr. Miller's big house on the sunny farm. There were large gardens and fields of fruit trees around the house, and a river nearby. In a big place like this, , there were many dogs. There were house dogs and farm dogs, but they were not important. Buck was chief dog and this was place. He was four years old and weighed sixty kilos. He went swimming with Mr. Miller's sons, and walking with his daughters. He carried the grandchildren on his back, and he sat at Mr. Miller's feet in front of the fire in winter.But this was 1897, and Buck did not know that men and dogs were hurrying to north-west Canada to look for gold. And he did not know that Manuel, one of Mr. Miller's gardens, needed money for his large family. One day, when Mr. Miller was out, Manuel and Buck left the garden together.

C嘉定区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷Tim Becker and his neighbors are doing something to make their neighborhood a trouble-free area.When Tim Becker gets in his car to go shopping, he doesn't just drive to a store and back home. He always looks 80 up and down the streets of his neighborhood. He looks for anything unusual such as strange cars, loud noises, 81 windows, or people gathering on street comers.Tim belonged to a neighborhood watch group in Stoneville, Indiana, USA. The neighborhood watch group meet on the third Wednesday of every month. That's 82 Tim gets together with about ten of his neighbors to discuss community safety. Members of the neighborhood watch group want to help the police 83 their homes, streets, and families safe.Tina Stedman, president of their neighborhood watch group, agrees with Tim. "People seem to think that crime happens to other people but not to them. Well, it's 84 happened to me," she said, "but I don't think anyone has the right to steal from other people or to make them feel unsafe sitting in their own homes."Alex, a member of the group, said that all the neighbors look out for one another, "We watch each other's homes. We keep watch out the neighborhood at night and on weekends. Usually a group of four or five of us goes out together. If something doesn't look right, then we call the police. For example, if we notice a group of teenagers who seem to be looking someone destroying property, we report to the police."Alex feels the neighborhood watch groups help a lot in keeping crime down. Her husband Jim agrees, "Police are good people, but they can't do everything."80. A) carefully B) clearly C) happily D) widely81. A) dirty B) nice C) old D) broken82.

D金山区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷You're standing with your classmates. Everyone is talking except you. Perhaps you're afraid they will laugh at you when you say. Maybe you just aren't 80 enough to speak.Shyness is like a snake that crawls(爬进) into our mouth and stops us 81 . But we shouldn't let it stay there.I am 29 years old. Even today, that snake still sometimes visits me. When I was in high school, I was so shy that I wouldn't talk to anyone except my parents and best friends. If a 82 asked me the way to a local shop, it was as if I'd forgotten how to talk. One summer, I got a job in a 83 and that helped a lot. It meant I had to talk to customers(顾客). I had to tell them how much their meal cost. I had to ask them 84 they want to drink Coke or Sprite. This job taught me how to speak with people.You may be too young to find a part-time job. But you can look for other chances to speak with people. You can offer to help an old woman carry her heavy bag. Or you can go to get a newspaper for your family.If you do these things 85 , the 'shyness' snake will soon begin to leave you alone. It'll look for another mouth to crawl into.80.

A PhD student with not a lot of money, I had hurried into the store to pick up someflowers.I found myself at a checkout counter(柜台) 80 an elderly woman who was going to payfor her groceries（食品杂货）.The woman stopped emptying her basket and looked up at me. She smiled. It was a nice smile–warm and reassuring –and I smiled back.“It must be a special lady to get those beautiful flowers,” she said.“Yes, she’s special,” I said, and then to my surprise, the words kept 81 .“It’s only our second date to meet, but somehow I am just having the feeling she’s ‘the one’. Jokingly, I added, “The only problem is that I can’t figure out 82 she’d want to date a guy like me.”“Well, I think she’s very lucky to have a boyfriend who brings her such lovely flowers and who is clearly in love with her,” the woman said.” “My husband used to bring me flowers every week –even when times were 83 and we didn’t have much money. Those were unforgettable days; he was very romantic and – of course – I miss him since he’s passed away.”I paid for my flowers as she was 84 her groceries. Almost immediately，I walked up to her and said, “You were right, you know.

Many Indians never learned any languagee__86__ their own. Do you know how Indians from different tribes talked to each? They had twoways to talk without sound. One way was by sign language; the other was by signals.Sign language is a way talking by signs. Indians used it when they met strangers. In this way,they could find out w__87__ the stranger was a friend or an enemy.Indians usually used signals when they wanted to send messages to someone far away. To makesignals, an Indian might use a pony(小马). He might use a blanket. Or he might use smoke, a mirror or fire arrows(箭) .To signal that he had seen many animals, an Indian r__88__ his pony in a large circle. Sometimes the Indian gave a signal like this and then went away to hide. This meant that there was danger.The blanket signal was visible from far away. An Indian held two c__89__ of a blanket in his hands. Then he began to swing (摇动)the blanket from side to side in front of him. An Indian could send many different signals with his blanket.He could also send many signals with a mirror to w__90__ someone or to get the attention of a person far away. But he also used it to send messages in code. Of course, mirrors could be used o__91__ when the sun was shining. At night, Indians used fire arrows for signaling.An Indian also sent signals with smoke. He made a small fire of dry wood. Then he put grass or green branches on i t. He held a blanket over the fire for a minute. When he r__92__ the blanket from the fire, there was a cloud of smoke. The number of clouds of smoke told his message in code.Now you can see that Indians didn't need to learn each other's language. They could talk to one another by using signals or sign language.普陀区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):(14分)Anyone who has a dog as a pet will tell you why the dog is called 'man's best friend'. "They are loyal, funny andloving. They seldom complain and always o 86 their owners," said Mary Smith of Washington D.C.Doctors will also tell you that people who have dogs seem to be happier and healthier than those who live a 87 . One reason for this is that people with dogs lead more active lives. Who can say no to a lovely dog when he pulls on your arm and asks yon to take him for a walk?Dogs are really amazing animals.

Think about guide dogs for blind people, or dogs that help people in wheelchairs.However, it is the emotional side of owning a dog that has been studied in detail by Dr Julie Davis of Chicago University.

"Dr. Davis has studied the r 90 between dogs and people for the last ten years. "I have spoken to people in parks, pet stores, and veterinary (兽医的) offices, as well as stopping people in the street. I have interviewed office workers and farmers, policemen and construction workers," says Dr Davis. "E 91 wants to talk about their dogs. Many people said they cried much more when their dogs died than when their parents did. They said the sadness was much d 92 . People are finding animals are more reliable than human beings. People tell me all the time that they get more emotional support from their dogs than they do from their husbands or wives."青浦区初三英语第一学期期末质量抽查试卷Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给)：(14分)Carla was riding the bus with her elder brother, Brian.

Each word can only be used once. Note that there is one word more than you need.As the pace of life continues to increase, we are fast losing the art of relaxation. Once you are in the habit of rushing through life, being on the 41 from morning till night, it is hard to slow down. But relaxation is 42 for a healthy mind and body.Stress is a natural part of everyday life and there is no way to avoid it. In fact, it is not the bad thing as often 43 to be. A certain amount of stress is vital to provide motivation and give purpose to life. It is only when the stress gets out of control that it can lead to poor 44 and ill health.The amount of stress a person can stand depends very much on the individual. Some people are not afraid of stress, and such characters are obviously prime 45 for managerial responsibilities; others lose heart at the first sign of unusual difficulties. When 46 to stress, in whatever form, we react both chemically and physically. In fact we make choice between “flight or fight” and in more primitive (远古的) days the choices made the difference between life or death. The 47 we meet today are unlikely to be so extreme, but however little the stress, it 48 the same response. It is when such a reaction lasts long, through continued exposure to stress, that health be comes 49 . Since we can’t remove stressfrom our lives (it would be unwise to do so even if we could), we need to find ways to deal with it.III. Reading comprehension:Section ADirections:For each blank in the following passage there are four words or phrases marked A, B, C and D. Fill in each blank with the word or phrase that best fits the context.We all remember seeing hitchhikers, standing by the side of the road, thumb sticking out, waiting for a lift. But it is getting 50 nowadays. What killed hitchhiking? 51 is often mentioned as a reason. Movies about murderous hitchhikers and real-life crime have put many drivers off 52 hitchhikers. That no single women picked me up on my journey to Manchester no doubt 53 the safety fear: a large, strangely dressed man is seen as dangerous.But the reason may be more 54 : hitchhiking happens where people don’t have cars and transport services are poor. Plenty of people still hitchhike in Poland and Romania. Perhaps the rising level of 55 in the UK means the few people left hitchhiking are usually considered strange. Why can’t they afford cars?Three-quarters of the UK population have access to a car; many of the remainder will be quite old. The 56 hitchhiking population is therefore small. Yet my trip proves it’s s till 57 to hitchhike. The people who picked me up were very interesting —lawyer, retired surgeon, tank commander, carpenter, man who live in an isolated farmhouse and a couple living up in the mountains. My 58 is that only really interesting people are mad enough to pick up fat blokes (家伙) in red, spotted scarves. Most just wanted to do someone a good turn; a few said they were so surprised to see a hitchhiker that they couldn’t help 59 .The 60 of hitchhiking most likely lies with car-sharingorganized over the Internet, via sites such as hitchhikers. org. But for now, you can still stick your thumb out (actually, I didn’t do much of that, 61 just to hold up my destination sign) and people — wonderful, caring, sharing, unafraid people — will stop.In the UK, with its cheap coaches and reasonable rail service, I don’t think I’ll make a 62 of it. But having 63 it so much, I’m ready now to do a big trip across Europe and beyond. In the 1970s a female friend of my wife’s hitchhiked to India. How wonderful it would be to have another go, though Afghanistan might be a(n) 64 . I wish I’d got that tank commander’s mobile number.50. A. frequent B. meaningless C. rare D. unbelievable51. A.

Each passageis 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 you have just read.(A)London has become a cycle friendly zone after the launch of a new bike hire scheme. It has been designed to encourage more people to cycle in and around central London.So how does it work？First you have to sign up to the scheme to be sent a key. The key will unlock one of the bikes，which are kept at docking stations in and around central London. You have to pay an access fee for the key and then you pay as you go for the length of time you use the bike.Transport for London, which runs the scheme，are hoping to have 6,000 bikes and 400 docking stations in place by the end of the year. The new hire system is hoping to ease congestion (拥挤) in London and is expected to create up to 40,000 extra cycle trips a day into the city centre. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the scheme and said London had been “filled with thousands of gleaming machines that will transform the look and feel of our streets and become as commonplace on our roads as black cabs and red buses”.However，there have been a few problems since the scheme was launched last Friday. On the first day some people found they cou ldn’t dock their bike properly and their usage of the bike had not been registered. Transport for London did admit they had been expecting a few “teething problems” and have said they wouldn’t charge for the first day as a “gesture of goodwill”. Some other people have criticized the lack of docking stations and locks for the bikes as well as the price it costs to hirethe bicycles.Despite the comments，the green-thinking London Mayor still seems very positive about things, saying, “My campaign for the capital to become the greatest big cycling city in the world has taken a big pedal-powered push forwards.”65. London Mayor Boris Johnston launched the new bike scheme in order to ___________.A. reduce the air pollution of the cityB. encourage the citizens to take exercisesC. deal with the city’s traffic problemsD. increase employment opportunities66. If you want to hire a bike, what would you do first?A. Pay for the bike according to the time you use it.B. Pay for the key to a bike.C. Cycle in and around central London.D. Sign up as a member to get a key.67. All the following are the problems of the scheme EXCEPT___________．A. the high cost to hire a bikeB. not charging for the first day of the schemeC. not registering their usage of the bikesD. docking the bikes properly68. From the passage we can infer that __________.A. the London Mayor is confident in the schemeB. the scheme will be cancelled because of the problemsC. all the citizens in London support the schemeD. the cycling revolution is not successful(B)Sabina Caste Franco Rome October 16,2011—The U.N. World Food program says there are growing concerns over foodinsecurity in the developing world. Some of those concerns are discussed in a report to agree with the anniversary Sunday of World Food Day.The theme for World Food Day 2011 is “Food Prices —From Crisis to Stability”. A ceremony to mark World Food Day will be held Monday at the headquarters of the U.N. Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome. Rising food prices, weather emergencies and political instability are deepening the struggle of families trying to provide for their households in many developing nations. This y ear’s “State of Food Insecurity in the World”report, published last week, focuses on the impact of food price volatility, confirming that high, unpredictable prices are likely to continue. The report highlighted how poor consumers, small farmers and countries dependent on imports, especially in Africa, have been deeply affected by the food and economic crises.Gregory Barrow is with the World Food Program in Rome. “If you look at the places where World Food program works particularly in developing countries, you see populations of people who might be spending 60, 70, 80 percent of their salaries on purchasing food for their families”. Barrow added that if prices become changeful and generally start rising, even by a small amount, it means that many of these people are going to struggle to put nutritious food on their tables.The report also showed that even short-term fluctuations (波动) in prices can have a long-term effect on development, and that cutting back on nutritious food in the first 1,000 days of a c hild’s life can affect mental and physical development and finally, future earning capacity. The United Nations has programs in place aimed at reducing the number of hungry people by one-half by 2015. But most observers agree this target is unlikely to be reached.69. The U.N World Food program aims to __________.A. hold a ceremony to mark World Food DayB. provide food for developing nationsC. show concerns over food insecurity in the developing worldD. introduce the U.N Food and Agriculture Organization in Rome70. The underlined word “volatility” in paragraph 2 means __________.A. supplyB. instabilityC. qualityD. control71. According to the report, we can learn that __________.A. people in Africa have been influenced by the food and economic crisesB. the short-term change in prices has nothing to do with developmentC. food price changes have little effect on householdsD. children’s development can be affected by the taking of nutritious food(C)In the past few decades, the popular belief in the area of organizational behaviour and organizational psychology has been that happy workers are better workers. However, new research at the University of Alberta shows that sad workers are more productive.Psychologist Dr. Robert Sinclair and his former PhD studentCarrie Lavis recently conducted a series of four studies addressing the effects of experimentally induced (诱发的) happiness versus sadness on work productivity by asking the participants to build circuit boards (电路板). In the first study, sad people committed significantly fewer errors than did happy people (approximately half the number of errors) but there was no difference in the number of boards completed. Thus, sad people were more productive.In similar studies Sinclair and Lavis found the same results along with evidence that happy people might not devote as much energy to the task in order to maintain their happy moods — they considered that task as something that might detract (减去) from their present feelings. Conversely, sad people appeared to be devoting energy to the task in order to divert themselves from their sad feelings. “It is important to know that the moods were unrelated to the task,” said Sinclair. “Unhappiness is coming from something else.”These findings are not surprising, said Sinclair, since there has been a growing body of literature in the area of social psychology demonstrating that sad moods lead to more calm lengthy intent consideration and, often, more thoughtful or accurate judgments.In Sinclair’s following studies,when people believed that the task would make them feel good, they devoted more energy to the job. The bottom line, said Sinclair, is that it is important for organizations to take into account the emotions of their employees. It seems it could be beneficial to creating situations that lead people to believe that performing their jobs will cause them to feel good: this could cause increases in motivation and superior performance.72. The new research done at the University of Alberta shows __________.A. sadness leads to accurate judgmentsB. sad workers are less engaged in their workC. sad workers produce betterD. happiness can make people do well73. The purpose of the series of four studies conducted by Dr. Sinclair was __________.A. to find out the influence of happiness vs. sadness on workB. to ask the subjects to build circuit boardsC. to prove that happy workers are better workersD. to explore the ways how to produce happiness or sadness at work74. According to the third paragraph, the happy workers might not devote as much energyto the task because __________.A. they hate doing the same job for a long timeB. they never feel sadC. happiness diverts them from their taskD. they want to keep their happy moods75. It is suggested in the last paragraph that __________.A. increases in motivation and superior performance are importantB. companies should take into consideration employees’ emotionsC. companies should create situations that make workers feel goodD. employees should do the task that would make them feel goodSection CDirections:Read the following passage and choose the most suitable heading from A-F for each paragraph. There is one extra heading which you do not need.Tips for dealing with depression76.Getting the support you need plays a big role in lifting the fog of depression and keeping it away. On your own, it can be difficult to maintain perspective and sustain the effort required to beat depression. But the very nature of depression makes it difficult to reach out for help. However, isolation and loneliness make depression even worse, so maintaining your close77.Depression puts a negative spin on everything, including the way you see yourself, the situations you encounter, and your expectations for the future. But you can’t break out of this pessimistic mind frame by “just thinking positive.” Happy thoughts or wishful thinking won’t cut it. Rather, the trick is to replace negative thoughts with more balanced thoughts.78.In order to overcome depression, you have to take care of yourself. This includes following a healthy lifestyle, learning to manage stress, setting limits on what you’re able to79.When you’re depressed, exercising may be the last thing you feel like doing. But exercise is a powerful tool for dealing withdepression. In fact, studies show that regular exercise can be as effective as antidepressant medication at increasing energy levels and decreasing feelings of fatigue. Scientists haven’t figured out exactly why exercise is such a potent antidepressant, but evidence suggests that physical activity triggers new cell growth in the brain, increases mood-enhancing neurotransmitters and endorphins, reduces stress, and relieves muscle tension —all things that can have a positive effect on depression.80.If you find your depression getting worse and worse, seek professional help. Needing more help doesn’t mean you’re weak. Sometimes the negative thinking in depression can make you feel like you’re a lost cause, but depression can be treated and you can feel better!Section DDirections:Read the passage carefully. Then answer the questions or complete the statements in the fewest possible words.All over the world mentioning of English education suggests a picture of the “public schools”, and it suggests in particular the names of certain very famous institutions — Eton, Oxford and Cambridge; but people do not always realize what place these institutions occupy in the whole educational system. Oxford and Cambridge are universities each having about 12,000 students out of a total of over 250,000 students at all British universities. Eton is a public school, and the best known of the public schools, which, in spite of their name, are not really public at all, but independent and private secondary schools taking boys from the age of thirteen to eighteen years. The public schools in realityform a very small part of the whole system of secondary education; only about one out of forty English boys go to a public school, and one out of 1,500 goes to Eton.Apart from the so-called public schools there is a complete system of state primary and secondary education, which resembles in its general form the state education in most other countries. All children must, by law, receive full-time education between the ages of five and sixteen. Any child may attend, without paying fees, a school provided by the public authorities, and the great majority attend such schools. They may continue, still without paying fees, until they are eighteen. In presenting an overall picture of English education it would be reasonable to concentrate on the state system alone and refer briefly to the public schools. However, although the public schools are not important numerically, they have been England’s most peculiar and characteristic contribution to educational methods, and they have an immense influence on the whole of English educational practice and on the English social structure. For a hundred years most men in leading positions in banking, insurance, high finance, some industries, the army, the church and conservative politics have been educated at public schools.(Note: Answer the question or complete the statements in no more than 12 words.)81. British public schools are not as their names suggests because they are ______________.82. The public schools are not important in certain senses because _____________________.83. Why must all British children between the age of five and sixteen attend a school?84. Why do people easily think of public schools when Britisheducation is mentioned?第II 卷(共45分)I.

However, with the right amount of hard work and focus you can pass your tests with ease.When I was in school, I used to get very stressed over my exams. So did my friends. Some people stopped eating and others ate too much! Some gave up and others burned themselves out! The most important thing to remember when studying is not to feel frightened!

A tired, overworked brain is just as useless as a lazy, empty one!So, what should you do ?Arrange a time each day for study and a time for relaxation .You may have less time to relax than usual, but you still need to let your brain rest for a few moments. Get plenty of sleep .If you are tired, information will not stick in our memory. Finally eat healthy foods that fuel your body and mind.It does no good to think too much about your exams. Some students may think that the rest of their life depends on them .That’s not true. Instead, just view the exams as another difficulty you will overcome.

But I’ve discovereda way to experience the thrill(兴奋，紧张) of climbing rock. Indoor climbing is an easy and excitingway to get a taste of rock climbing. And it is also much cheaper and safer! Indoor climbers don’tclimb on real rock, but on a plastic wall. You can probably find a climbing wall near you. Many gyms,schools and camps have one.You can climb in doors at any time of the year, no matter how the whether is. It is usually notexpensive. Most gyms provide the equipment you need. The convenience of indoor climbing isone reason why it has become so popular. But the main reason people climb is for rush(刺激感) they get. When I stand at the roof of the wall and look up, I’m always scared, but once I start climbing, fear changes to determination. With my heart pounding(心剧烈跳动), I reach the top and look down. I can’t stop grinning. I did it!Indoor climbing is a great workout(锻炼). Climbing uses muscles(肌肉)that are hard to exercise, especially those in the shoulders, arms, chest and back. Many people say climbing makes exercise fun. Most gyms have several climbing walls with various degrees of difficulty. The easier ones are like climbing a ladder. The difficult ones bulge out(凸出)in places so that climbers must sometimes climb parallel(平行的)with the floor.Although gym climbing is easier and safer than real rock climbing, you should still be careful. Always climb with a partner. As you climb, your partner pulls you climbing rope through something called a belay device(绳索控制器). The belay catches you if you slip.

He would walk near his house with his eyes focused on theground, hoping something interesting would present itself at his feet. Lester had found many things this way.On day, Lester was walking home from school. Just as he turned the corner to his street, Lesternoticed something on the ground. When he bent down to pick it up, he was amazed! It was a small rock, shining in the sun. “It is a diamond(钻石)!” he thought. He could not be sure, though.Lester picked the rock up and carefully put it into his pocket. When he reached his house, he ran to his bedroom. He pulled a magnifying glass and began to examine his find. Lester had heard that diamonds can cut glass, so he rubbed (划) the rock on the mirror and there was a small cut in the mirror's surface.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题): (12分)This letter was sent to a newspaper in Germany.13 October Dear EditorI am writing to ask what has happened to our youth. They are not as polite, hard-working or clever as my generation.I will give you two examples.Last Friday, I got on the underground at 9.15 a.m. It was very busy so there were no free seats. There were some teenagers sitting on the seats nearest me. I don’t know why they were not at school. They were talking loudly and laughing. It was difficult to read my newspaper with all the noise. A heavily pregnant(怀孕的)woman and her daughter got on at the next stop, with lots of shopping bags. I expected the teenagers to let them sit down. They saw the woman but did nothing. I had to ask them to give her a seat. They reluctantly(勉强地)did so but gave me a rude look. I got off at the next stop and was glad that the teenagers didn’t follow me.Last Saturday, I had dinner with my friend’s family. I was looking forward to meeting his children, who I hadn’t seen for ten years. During dinner, we started talking about world po litics. It soon became clear that they didn’t know much. They couldn’t tell me the name of the King of Spain or the President of Italy. All they knew about was the internet and which singers were the most beautiful. In my day, students knew the kings, queens and presidents of every country in Europe.I worry about the future of Germany. How could these young people become responsible workers and parents? They sit around Mcdonald’s after school instead of going to the library like I did at their age. Maybe t hey have too much money. Perhaps another reader can give us an idea about what to do with this ‘lost generation’.Franz V ogtsHamburg93. Who was the letter sent to?It was sent to ____________ of a newspaper in Germany.94.

As an eleven-year-old boy, he became the youngest pianist ever to perform a concertat the theater.Never too young to learnNiu Niu was born into a musical family in Xiamen. His father Zhang was a piano teacher. Niu Niu grew up listening to his father's student playing the piano. At just threeyears old, Niu Niu asked his father to teach him to play, too."I gave Niu Niu some sheet music(活动乐谱)and helped him find the eight notes(琴键)when he first played the piano. To my surprise, he played nearly 80 percent correct," said the father. He used to think that 3 years old is too young an age to learn piano, but Niu Niu changed his mind. He continued to allow Niu Niu to watch his teaching of other students and gave him more sheet music to play.Playing for funZhang started teaching Niu Niu standard piano lessons when he was four. Unlike many other piano teachers, Zhang didn’t insist that Niu Niu play strictly with the correct finger positioning(指法). He said that the strict finger positioning would rob some kids of fun of playing. So Niu Niu could play in his own way. He could play the tone successfully. But Niu Niu was required to play the music without looking at the sheet music. Now he can memorize about 80 pages. Rising to fameIn 2003, at the age of 6, Niu Niu successfully held a sole concert(独唱音乐会) in his hometown Xiamen. At the age of 8, he gave a performance at the International Piano Festival in France.

I certainly haven't had much free time to keep my own hair color, or lie in the sun, or do anything with only a little danger like skiing. It was nice to go on holiday and not have to make up on the SPF50 and sit under an umbrella with three caps on," Tom said.For all the fame and wealth that Harry Potter has brought its young stars, there have been plenty of downsides, too.Tom is now 23 but talks like he is ten years older, and his co-stars have been working since they were young children. And while he says he has no regrets about being in the movies, he also says that at the same time he had to grow up fast."One thing that people keep on saying to me is that the wealth and the fame must have made up fax missing out on my childhood," he says. "But the idea of money ---putting a price on your childhood--- is ridiculous(可笑的). You will never get those years back. Don't you think you can put a price on them?""And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality."The youngest of four brothers brought up in a middle-class home in Epsom, Surrey, he honestly says that no one in the family knew what to do with all the money he was making.
