One day Mr. White gave his wife ten pounds for her birthday — ten new pound notes. So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an o1d 1ady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old lady’s handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad（叠）of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag —the notes had gone! Mrs. White was sure that the o1d lady next to her had stolen them. She immediately thought of calling the police. But as she disliked making a fuss（小题大作）, she
decided to take back the money from the old lady’s hand bag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching. Then she carefully put her hand into the o1d lady’s bag, took the notes, and put them into her own handbag.
When she got home that evening, Mrs. White showed her husband the beautiful hat she had bought.
“How did you pay for it?” Mr. White asked.

In Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard “craze(热潮)”. People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards. Even Queen Victoria
had her own private collection.
When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were coming for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Drop me a card” was as common then as “give me a ring” as now.
In 1902 an important step was taken. The government said that half of the side that was used for the address on the postcard could be used for messages, and the whole of the other side could be used for a picture. It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created.

I used to think education was the most important thing in my life.
Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing i n front of audience, I was trembling. I didn’t remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school, but they don’t show anything about me. I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to communicate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.
I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.

A. comes to know how important it is to make some money

C. does not think education is the most important thing in his life any more
D. thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education
10 . The author believes the awards he has received ____.
A. show that he is a top student
B. show how much time he has spent in learning
C. mean that he knows how to learn
D. d on’t necessarily show he is excellent in many ways
11. The author feels fearful that he will be of no use to society mainly because______.
A. he is unable to develop himself
B. studying takes too much of his time
C. he does not know how to communicate with others
D. he feels that he is a failure

Ever wondered why fresh fruits and vegetables are the first thing you see in stores or why the bread and milk are so far away? Supermarkets spend millions of dollars researching consumer (消费者) behaviour in order to develop ways to make you buy more in their stores.
CHOICE magazine takes a look at some of the more common tricks to help you avoid spending more money next time you go shopping.
Experts (专家) say turning to the right when you walk into a shop is connected with most people’s preference for using their right hand.
Dr Paul Harrison, expert at Deakin University, says a store’s entry (入口) is not the only important point. “Research in the US has shown that shoppers who travel in an anti-clockwise (逆时针方向的) direction will spend about two dollars more per trip than clockwise shoppers.”
Research made on shoppers’ in-store movements suggests people travel to some aisles (过道) only. The most common trip to travel in stores is around the outside circle, walking in and out of the aisles as needed. As a result, the ends of each aisle are where the store makes the most money.
When you enter a big supermarket fresh fruits and vegetables are in the first shopping area. Although it’s not wise to first put frui ts and vegetables into your shopping basket, this department is set to make the shoppers feel that it’s fresh and healthy. People who us e the fresh food areas are also likely to spend more money in the store.
By setting up different “marketplace” areas, it feels as though we’ve visited several different stores where we can get everything we
need rather than a single big shop. Each of these areas has different lighting and floor coverings. “It’s all about creating a market-like feel,” says Harrison. “Areas m aking and selling bread, apart from smelling good, give the impression that the supermarket can be trusted. It’s like they’re saying, ‘You can trust us because we make food.’”
12. Why do people turn to the right when entering a shop?
A. People are mostly right-handed.
B. It’s easier for them to walk in a circle.
C. Fresh food is often placed on the right.
D. Shopping baskets are usually on the right.
13. What does the research in the US find?
A. Most shoppers walk anti-clockwise.
B. Clockwise walkers are often big shoppers.
C. A store’s entry is the most important point.
D. Walking directions influence consuming behaviour.
14. As for aisles, what do supermarket managers most care about?
A. The ends.
B. The middle.
C. How long they are.
D. How wide they are.
15. What impression does a supermarket try to give shoppers by making each area different?
A. It is fresh.
B. It is healthy.
C. It covers a big area.
D. It offers a wide choice.

Living in a dorm (宿舍) this year? Here are some survival suggestions: Don’t just shout. Talk it out.
Even if you knew your roommate before, living with him or her will be completely different. The key to making it work is communication. 16 If you still have problems after talking, turn to your teacher for help —especially if you think you need to change rooms or roommates.
Make your room represent (代表) you.
Your dorm room isn’t just the place where you sleep or study. It’s your home. 17 Show your personality. Put up the posters your mom never let you put up at home. Do whatever you can to make your room a comfortable place so you feel right at home.
A clean room is a happy room.
Cleanliness is important. Whether you share a space with one person or seven, you should have a cleaning plan. 18 Draw up a plan that can be stuck to by everyone so that your room is always clean.
19
One of the great things about living in a dorm is that you’ll probably meet people from other places who were raised differently than you were. Don’t laugh at people because of their differences. 20 You never know that guy or girl in your dorm might turn out to be one of your lifelong friends!
A. Be open to differences.
B. Make it as you as it can be.
C. You may see students who dress differently.
D. If there’s a problem, always talk it out with your roommate first.
E. Instead, try to get to know these students and learn something new.

第二节（共10小题；每小题1.5分，满分15分）

的正确形式。

Keeping a diary in English is a 41 (use) way to improve our English writing abilities.
Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes 42 (little) time than them. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking
in English. If we insist on this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express 43 (we) in English. Keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many difficulties. In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble in 44 (find) proper words and phrases
to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 45 (be) many
idiomatic（惯用的） words in Chinese. And 46 is extremely hard for
us to put them into English 47 (proper).
As far as I am concerned, my suggestion is 48 we should always have a notebook and Chinese-English-dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look up our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is very useful to keep diary 49 English for the development of our writing 50 (skill).

Dear Headmaster,
I’m very glad to write a letter to you. These days we are talking about how to have a better school life. Here are some of my suggestions.
First, I hope our school will open the library more often. Reading more books can help us open up our eyes to the outside world. Second, I think our school can organize more after-class activities. And I think we should be allowed to have longer vacations because we need more time to do things like volunteering.
As for our teachers, I hope they will be our friends and make classes more interesting. And if they can talk less but more clearly in class, we will be more interested in studying and have more time to practice. What’s more, I hope they will give us less homework and finish class on time.
Hope my suggestions will be helpful. Thanks for reading my letter.
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua。
