When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.Carla Fonseca – Rio de JaneiroI spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!Alvin Chen – Hong KongStudying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I had English classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day.

Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared, eating an apple. Tom pretended (假装) not to see him.“Tom!” Ben said. “Why are you working?”“Oh, it’s you, Ben,”Tom said, “I didn’t notice you.”“I’m going for a swim,” Ben said, “but you don’t’ want to come. You want to work, don’t you? It’s much nicer!”Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said. “What is work? What do you call work?”“Isn’t that work?” Ben asked.“Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You’ve never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!’“Please, Tom. Let me do a little,” said Ben.“No, Ben. If you do, you’ll do it wrong. You can’t paint very well. If it was the back fence, it wouldn’t mind, but it isn’t.”“I won’t do it wrong. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you my apple.” Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad, His trick had worked.After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them.

Aunt Polly gave Tom a lot of pocket money for what he had done.B. Ben and the other boys might feel unhappy when they found out the truth.C. Tom believed that he had discovered how to deal with different people.D. Everyone thought Tom clever when they realized what had happened.DCan trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees can communicate with each other. Not long ago, they learned some surprising things. First, a willow(柳树)which had been attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛毛虫)changed the chemistry(化学物质)of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars soon stopped eating them. Then even more surprising, the willow sent out a special vapour (雾气)—a kind of message causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds and movements. A bee does a little dance in the air, telling other bees where to find food. A dog barks when a strange comes near. So why shouldn’t trees have their ways of sending their messages?( )34. From the passage, we can make a conclusion that caterpillars do not feed on leaves that __________ .A. are turning yellowB. have a bad tasteC. are near beesD. are lying on the ground( )35.

People often said Thomas Edison was the greatest genius（天才） of his age．There are only a few men in all of history, who have changed the lives of other men as much as the inventor of the first useful electric light．But Edison could never be pleased only because someone said he was a genius．"There is no such a thing as genius, "Edison said．He thought what people called genius was mostly hard work．But Edison was a thinker as well as a worker．From his earliest days as a child he wondered about the secrets of nature．He tried to understand them, and then he tried tolearn what he could usefully do with them．Edison enjoyed thinking．He knew that most people would do almost anything instead of the difficult work of thinking, especially if they do not think very often．But heknew, too, that thinking could give men enjoyment and pleasure．Edison could not understand why anyone could not be interested in life．As he loved to think, he also loved to work．On the day he became 75years old, someone asked him what idea he had about life．"Work, "he answered, "Discovering the secrets of nature and using them to make men happier．"He said he had enough inventions in his mind to give him another 100years of work．（1）．What is genius according to Thomas Edison？________A Hard thinking．B Hard work．C Useful ideas．D Useful inventions．．（2）．How did Edison always deal with the secrets of nature after exploring them？________ A To write down what he had learned． B To carry out a new experiment． C To make them useful in life． D To share them with others．．（3）．What does the last sentence in the passage mean？________A Edison was born to be a great inventor．B Edison was able to live another100years． C Edison was ready to make his 100th invention． D Life was too short for Edison to work for human beings．18. My parents quarreled a lot, and I was really worried about it．I didn't know who I should talk with about how I was feeling．So I asked Mom to allow me to stay the night at my best friend's house．Though I knew I wouldn't tell her about my parents'situation, I was looking forward to getting out of the house．I was packing up my things when suddenly the power （电） went out in the neighborhood．Mom came to tell me that I should stay with my grandpa until the power came back on．I was really disappointed（失望的） because I felt that we did not have much to talk about．But I knew he would be frightened alone in the dark．I went to his room and told him that I'd stay with him until the power was restored（恢复）．He was quite happy and said．"Great chance．""What is?

When something goes wrong, it can be very satisfying to say, "Well, it's so﹣and﹣so's mistake．"or"I know I'm late, but it's not my mistake; the bus was late．"It is probably not your mistake, but once you form the habit of blaming somebody or something else for a bad situation, you are a loser．You have no power and could do nothing that helps change the situation．However, you can have great power over what happens to you if you stop paying attention to whom to blame and start paying attention to how to improve the situation．This is the winner's key to success．Winners are great at overcoming（克服） problems．For example, if you were late because the bus was late, maybe you need to leave home early．Or, you might call a taxi or call friends for help when in need．For another example, if your workmate causes you problems on the job for short of responsibility（责任心） or ability, find ways of dealing with his irresponsibility or inability rather than simply blame the person．Ask to work with a different person, or leave this person with some simple jobs．You should accept that the person is not reliable（可靠的） and find creative ways to work successfully regardless of how your workmate fails to do his job well．This is what being a winner is all about﹣creatively using your skills and talents so that you are successful no matter what happens．Winners don't have fewer problems in their lives; they have just as many difficult situations to face as anybody else．They are just better at seeing those problems as challenges（挑战） and chances to develop their own talents．So, stop paying attention to"whose mistake it is．"Once you are confident about your power over bad situations, problems are just stepping stones for success．（1）．According to the passage，winners________．A have responsible and able workmatesB meet with fewer difficulties in theirlives C blame themselves rather than others D deal with problems rather than blameothers．（2）．When your workmate brings about a problem，you should________．A blame him for his lack of responsibilityB find a better way to overcome theproblem C tell him to find the cause of the problem D ask a more able workmate for help．（3）．When problems happen，winners take them as________．A excuses for their mistakesB difficulties to greater powerC chances for self﹣developmentD challenges to their workmates．（4）．Which of the following is the best title for the passage？________A A Winner's SecretB A Winner's ProblemC A Winner's ChanceD A Winner's Achievement．四、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）（1）根据句意和汉语注释，写出所给单词的正确形式．20.

I really blew that __17_.“Well,” she said with a __18_ smile. “I’ve always liked Texas.”She turned out to be the best speech specialist I’ve ever had, not like those who told me to clap my hands while speaking. She was __19_ . She spent the first several weeks just talking to me—asking me all kinds of questions about myself, especially my feelings. And she __20__. She then began to teach me about the speech. Not just about my speech, but about everybody’s.I _21__ in my old school and was a pretty good tenor（男高音）, but I learned that the new school’s singing group was all filled up. It was such bad news, for I thought that was the one thing I could really do well –and I could do it __22__ stuttering. Somehow Mrs. Claussen finally got me in the group.

Readers who had a happy time in their childhood.(B)Everyone has got two personalities（性格）--the one that is shown to the world and the other that is secret and real. You don’t show your secret personality when you’re awake because you can control yourself, but when you’re asleep, your sleeping position shows the real you. In a normal night, of course, you often change your sleeping positions. The important position that best shows your secret personality is the one that you go to sleep.If you go to sleep on your back, you’re a very open person. You normally trust people and you are easily influenced by new ideas. You don’t like to make people unhappy, so you never express your real feelings. You’re quite shy and you aren’t very confident.If you sleep on your stomach, you are a person who likes to keep secrets. You worry a lot and you’re always easily becoming sad. You never want to change your ideas, but you are satisfied with your life the way it is. You usually live for today not for tomorrow.If you sleep on curled up（蜷缩）, you are probably a very nervous person. You have a low opinion of yourself and often protect yourself from being hurt, so you are very defensive. You’re shy and you don’t usually like meeting people. You like to be on your own.If you sleep on your side, you have usually got a well-balanced personality. You know your strengths and weaknesses. You’re usually careful. You have a confident personality. You sometimes feel worried, but you don’t often get unhappy. You always say what you think, even if it makes people angry.28.You may find the passage in ________.A. a science magazineB. a guide bookC. a sports newspaperD. a story book29、What does the word “defensive” mean in the passage?A. 易怒的B. 攻击性的C. 外向的D. 有戒心的30、What does the passage tell us?A. Sleeping on your side is the best way of sleeping.B. Changing positions will cause sleeping problems.C. Sleeping positions show people’s secret personalities.D. Enough sleep make people look better and healthier.（C）Reading Oliver James’ Affluenza, I thought about what often happens at home. My 12-year-old daughter英语模拟3-2is in tears. “I have to take a test tomorrow. I don’t understand any of it,” she cries out. After shouting and shutting her door, she calms down enough to go through her notes. The following day I ask her how the test went and she just says “OK, I got a nine”.“Wow, well done!” I say, before she finishes with “But I never get a ten.”According to James, this obsession with getting top marks has been a bad development, which encourages people to think of education in terms of work and money. To test this, I asked my daughter why she was so worried about her tests. She looked at me as if I was sick. “well, if I don’t get good grades, I won’t be able to afford nice things like a car and stuff.”I was quite surprised, because I don’t consider myself a pushy parent. But James suggests showing any interest in grades sends the message that what is important is results and it leaves students feeling failures even if they are very bright. He points to the Danish system（体制）of education as a better model. Creating happy citizens who have good social skills is seen as more important than high achievements at school or the needs of business.For me, I cannot remember the last time I had to work out the area of a circle, recite a Shakespeare poem or grammar rules, yet I have lived a happy life. What I really needed to learn at school was how to make polite conversations, or how to avoid getting into debt or how to develop good personality.This is in fact similar to what Oliver James really has in mind. And he is looking for schools where students are encouraged to find and follow their own interests, something more like Tongjon. Tongjon has been developed in some Korean private schools. It is quite different from the more rigid system of learning things by heart that is used in Korea, and indeed in many other school systems around the world. As the Russian poet Pushkin said, “Inspiration（灵感）is needed in geometry（几何学） just as much as in Poetry”, and inspiration does not come from endlessly revising for tests or getting worried about them.31. What does the writer probably think of his/ her daughter?A. She sets herself a goal too high to reach.B. She should be more polite to her parents.C. She is hard-working but not very bright.D. She takes her grades much too seriously.32. What can we infer from the passage?A. Social skills are as important as high grades.B. Interest in grades can shake self-confidence.C. The writer regrets not having studied hard at school.D. Danish educational system is for very smart students.33. The writer wants to tell us that ________.A. learning happily is the key to self-developmentB. top marks may be helpful to increase one’s interestC. tests should be improved to give children inspirationD. education should meet one’s needs for work and money(D)He was struggling to tie his shoes. I was struggling with whether I should help him.I did, and he was grateful.“Thank you,” he said.“I’m glad I could help. I just thought it would be easier for me to reach,” I said.He was a disabled man, and forced to look down most of the time. His arms and legs were twisted（扭曲的） terribly, and he couldn’t do what the rest of us would consider easy tasks. He always managed to look up to see how you reacted（反应的） to his words, however. He had a big smile, making me feel comfortable.I was still on my knees by his wheelchair.“Nice shoes,” he said.“Thanks. No one ever complimented me on them before,” I said.“No one has the same view of the world as I do,” he replied.“Tell me about the world as you see it,” I said smiling.“Most people can see if someone is comfortable with them or not in their eyes. I see it in their feet,”he said. “If people keep moving their feet, I just let them go, because I know they’re impatient with me. I don’t want to make people uncomfortable.”“What about me?” I asked.“I could see your compassion. And then you came down to my level. I was the one who was nervous,”he said. “I don’t normally have someone look me in the eyes.”“They don’t know what they’re missing,” I told him.“My old face is nothing to brag（自夸） about.” He said.“But that smile is so big.”Yes, and it’s not only a big smile but an attitude.34. The disabled man knew people were impatient mostly by their ________.A. wordsB. eyesC. feetD. smile35. We learn that the disabled man ________.A. had great difficulty looking after himselfB. always asked people for helpC. couldn’t have a big smileD. liked to talk about people’s shoes36. The writer felt comfortable because ________.A. he had a nice talk to the manB. the man looked him in the eyesC. he didn’t move his feet before the manD. the man had a big smile on the face37. We can infer from the passage that ________.A. the disabled man had something wrong with his mindB. not many people went down to the man’s levelC. the man was good at telling people about the worldD. the writer would not give the man more help四、单词拼写（共8分，每题1分）(A)根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。

When I got home, my friends all said that I had improved so much! I hope to go back again in the future.Carla Fonseca – Rio de JaneiroI spent last year studying English in London. I’m from a small town, and London is a very big city. Sometimes I felt it was too big. There were so many people to talk to, but I always felt bad about my English. I missed my family, and I really missed my two cats. My roommate was always using our telephone, so I hardly had the chance for a nice long talk with my parents. I think it was a good experience for me, but I’m glad to be home!Alvin Chen – Hong KongStudying in New Zealand was a fun experience for me, but it was also lots of hard work! I hadEnglish classes six hours a day, five days a week——with lots of homework. I also kept a diary of my experience. I like to write, and I wrote two or three pages in my diary every day.

He thought of the other boys out for the day enjoying themselves and he felt very unhappy. Then he had an idea! He picked up the brush and started painting slowly and carefully. Soon, his friend Ben Rogers appeared, eating an apple. Tom pretended (假装) not to see him.“Tom!” Ben said. “Why are you working?”“Oh, it’s you, Ben,”Tom said, “I didn’t notice you.”“I’m going for a swim,” Ben said, “but you don’t’ want to come. You want to work, don’t you? It’s much nicer!”Ben laughed loudly. Tom looked seriously at Ben and said. “What is work? What do you call work?”“Isn’t that work?” Ben asked.“Well, no. Does a boy get the opportunity to paint a fence every day? You’ve never painted a fence, have you? Auntie says I have to do it with great care!’“Please, Tom. Let me do a little,” said Ben.“No, Ben. If you do, you’ll do it wrong. You can’t paint very well. If it was the back fence, it wouldn’t mind, but it isn’t.”“I won’t do it wrong. I’ll be really careful. I’ll give you my apple.” Tom gave him the brush and paint with a sad face, but in his heart he was glad, His trick had worked.After Ben got tired and left, other boys came along and Tom said the same things to them. Soon, the whole fence was painted white, but not by Tom. He felt very clever because he had discovered something important about the way people are. People only want what they can’t have or want to do what they shouldn’t do.( )31. Which of the following has the closest meaning to the underlined word “opportunity”on this passage?A. rewardB. interest.C. ability.D. chance.( )32. Why did Tom pretend not to see Ben?A. Because he wanted Ben to believe that he was enjoying the work.B. Because he would like to try his best to attract Ben’s attention.C. Because he did not want Ben to see the fact that he had to work.D. Because he was afraid that Ben might laugh at him if the saw him.( )33. What can we infer (推断) from the story?A. Aunt Polly gave Tom a lot of pocket money for what he had done.B. Ben and the other boys might feel unhappy when they found out the truth.C. Tom believed that he had discovered how to deal with different people.D. Everyone thought Tom clever when they realized what had happened.DCan trees talk? Yes, but not in words. Scientists have reasons to believe that trees cancommunicate with each other. Not long ago, they learned some surprising things. First, a willow(柳树)which had been attacked in the woods by caterpillars(毛毛虫)changed the chemistry(化学物质)of its leaves and made them taste so terrible that the caterpillars soon stopped eating them. Then even more surprising, the willow sent out a special vapour (雾气)—a kind of message causing its neighbors to change the chemistry of their own leaves and make them less tasty.Communication, of course, doesn’t need to be in words. We can talk to each other by smiling, raising our shoulders and moving our hands. We know that birds and animals use a whole vocabulary of songs, sounds and movements.

But one night, a lady asked him to sing a song.“I don’t sing,” said the man.But the lady told the w aiter, “I’m tired of listening to the piano. I want the player to sing!”The waiter shouted across the room, “Hey, friend! If you want to get paid, sing a song!”So he did. He had never sung in public before. Now he was singing for the very first time! Nobody had ever heard the song Mona Lisa sung so beautifully!He had talent he was sitting on! He may have lived the rest of his life as a no-name piano player in a no-name bar. But once he found, by accident, that he could sing well, he went on working hard and became one of the best-known singers in the US. His name was Nat King Cole.You, too, have skills and abilities. You may not feel that your talent is great, but it may be better than you think. With hard work, most skills can be improved. Besides, you may have no success at all if you just sit on your talent.28.

The underlined words “sitting on” in the passage probably mean ___________.A. fail to realizeB. forget to useC. try to developD. manage to showCIt’s in the 2010s.You feel sick, so you go to the doctor. She checks your fever, looks at your throat, and asks what you’ve been thinking about lately. When you leave, she gives you some medicine, but also a list of thinking skills that you are supposed to practice daily. She says that the way you think is causing some of your illness.Doctors and other scientists who study the human mind and try to explain why people act in the way that they do, called psychologists (心理学家), are starting to believe it. You know that your brain (脑) is connected to every part of your body through your nervous system (神经系统). Now scientists have proved that how you think and feel can have an influence on the health of your body.Stress is caused whenever there is a problem or a change in your life. Of course, everybody has stress more or less; nobody’s life is perfect. In fact, stress is necessary. Without stress, we wouldnever learn anything or grow or change. We would probably be bored to death. But too much stress can hurt you. It can weaken your body’s protection so that you are more likely to catch diseases. It can even make you more likely to have an accident.When you feel stressed, your brain sends a message to your body to produce a chemical called adrenaline (肾上腺素). Adrenaline speeds up your breathing and your heartbeat. Today you have a different kind of stress. Problems like endless homework or troubles with your family are the kind of things you can’t fight or run away from, so you don’t use up all that adrenaline. It just stays bottled up inside you, and that’s what can do something bad to you.What can you do about stress? First, you can try to find ways to change things so you aren’t under so much stress. You can set up a plan to finish homework or go to a doctor or a psychologist to try to work things out with your family or your friends. But sometimes you can’t change a stressful situation. Sometimes you don’t even want to. A big change might be a good change, but it will still be stressful.The link (关联) between your body and brain works in two ways. Your body can help your mind deal with stress. If you are under stress, you need to take especially good care of your body. It’s important to get enough sleep and eat nutritious (有营养的) meals. Some people take a vitamin-mineral pill every day. Another thing that you can do is daily exercise. If you go walking or do aerobic dancing or work out at the gym (体育馆), you give your body a chance to burn up some of that adrenaline. Of course, a person who isn’t used to much physical activity should start slowly. Anyone with a continuing physical problem should check with a doctor before starting any exercise programs.31. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A. You shouldn’t go to the gym if you are under stress.B. One can do his homework to burn up adrenaline.C. Disease and accidents are caused by stress.D. Everyone needs stress to improve himself.32. From the last sentence of Paragraph 5 we can infer (推断) that _____________.A. it’s difficult to change a stressful situationB. it’s not stressful when a good change takes placeC. a big change will cause another stressful situationD. a stressful situation can’t be changed without any effort33. What is probably the best title for this passage?A. The Body-Brain LinkB. The Causes of StressC. The Advice on HealthD. The Nervous SystemDLONDON—Scientists have found an unusual way to prevent our planet from overheating: move it to a cooler spot. All you have to do is to send a few comets (彗星) in the direction of Earth, and its orbit (轨道) will be changed. Our world will then be sent moving into a safer older part of the solar system.This idea for improving our climate comes from a group of US NASA (美国航空航天局) engineers and American astronomers. They say their plan could add another six billion years to the useful lifetime of our planet—hopefully doubling its working life.The plan put forward by Dr. Laughlin, and his colleagues Don Korycansky and Fred Adams, needs carefully directing a comet or asteroid (小行星) so that it passes close by our planet and sends some of its gravitational energy (重力势能) to Earth.“Earth’s orbital speed would increase as a r esult and we would move to a higher orbit away from the s un,” Laughlin said.Engineers would then direct their comet so that it passed close to Jupiter (木星) or Saturn(土星). The comet would pick up energy from one of these giant planets. Later its orbit would bring it back to Earth, and the process would be repeated.In the short term, the plan provides an ideal way to worldwide warming, although the team was actually worried about a much greater danger. The sun is certain to heat up in about a billion years and so “seriously compromise” our biosphere (生物圈)—by cooking us.That’s why the group decided to try to save Earth.The plan has one or two worrying sides, however. For a start, space engineers would have to be very careful about how they directed their asteroid or comet towards Earth. The smallest miscalculation (误算) in orbit could fire it straight at Earth—with deadly results.There is also the question of the moon. As the present issue of Scientific American magazine points out, if Earth was pushed out of its present location, it is “most likely the moon would be stripped (剥离) away from Earth,” it states. This would greatly change our planet’s climate.34. What makes the scientists plan to move Earth?A. A few comets are moving to the direction of Earth.B. Earth’s working life is coming to an end soon.C. Earth will become too hot for mankind to keep alive.D. The moon is moving farther and farther away from Earth.35. If the plan is successful, Earth will have a working life of ________ years.A. 12 billionB. 6 billionC. 18 billionD. 24 billion36. What serious problems might the plan cause according to the passage?A. The comet might hit Earth and man might lose the moon.B. Earth might be moved too far away and man might die because of the coldness.C. The comet might hit Jupiter or Saturn and never return to Earth.D. Earth’s working life might be greatly shortened.37. What does the underlined word “compromise” mean?A. provideB. benefit (受益)C. shareD. endanger第二卷主观题(共40分)四、单词拼写(本大题共8分，每小题1分)(A) 根据句意和汉语注释，写出单词的正确形式。
