Europeans eat 365grapes on New Year's Day30.When eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day，people think ______ ．A. one pea brings one day of luckB. black-eyed peas are the best medicineC. the peas are too black and taste badD. the peas are helpful to count numbers．BFor years I went to school by bus，so I met many"familiar"strangers．We took the same bus but didn't know each other's names．I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends．How wrong I was！Smiles from the"nameless"people have changed my thoughts．The first time I got on the bus，I saw different faces．We met，greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces．As days went on，we chatted like old friends．But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus．Her old clothing suggested that she didn't have much money，but she always took a cup of water for the driver．I guessed she was a kind girl．But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us？Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings？Couldn't she smile？Then，one evening，I got the answer．I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree，lonely and sad．I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months，but this time her face turned red，then a shy smile appeared．As soon as she began her first words，I understood why she hadn't spoken to us before．Talking was hard for her．I learnt her story：Her parents worked hard somewhere．She lived with her disabled grandparents．She said，"I can't express myself very well．Most of the time，I can't say what I want to say．I have no friends but…you always smile to me like an angel…so I also want to smile．"That evening，we exchanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends．Smile is the key to opening the door of the heart；it can break the cold walls in front of us．31.All the following words can describe the girl except ______ ．A. silentB. kindC. proudD. poor32.The writer often met the girl ______ ．A. on the busB. in the parkC. at schoolD. under the tree33.The girl had difficulty in ______ ．A. listeningB. singingC. writingD. talking34.Which of the following is TRUE？______A. The girl is very rich．B. Smile is the key to closing the door of the heart．C. The writer knew the name of the girl that evening．D. The writer can't make friends with those nameless people on the bus now．35.The main idea of the passage is that ______ ．A. we should help those silent peopleB. smiles can deal with every difficulty we meetC. we should smile to the nameless people on the busD. smiles can help us get closer and understand each other better．CSoap operas from South Korea have been popular in China for more than twenty years now．So it is not the first time for the soap operas made in China to feel less popular．But this time，they are facing more difficulties，for The Heirs（继承者们）and My Love From the Star really made a full success，which even attracted some top officials．A senior official said he sometimes watched soap operas from South Korea，as well as House of Cards，an American opera about politics．These operas made both in South Korea and in America have a lot of lovers in China．Many people agree that China's soap operas can't be much loved by most Chinese，because they are not as interesting and exciting as those operas from South Korea and America，such as My Love From the Star，a South Korean love story between a time-traveling professor and a famous movie star．However，South Korea not only provides soap operas but also some variety shows（综艺节目）．Where Are We Going，Dad？is not an original Chinese show．We learned it from South Korea although not many in China are aware（意识到）of that fact．Actually，China has a closer culture with South Korea．Shows from this neighbor seem to do better with their exciting stories on the Cinderella theme（灰姑娘主题）．Yet they have created many popular shows whose stories tell there's no difference between men and women even though in their country men are certain to play a more important role．36.When might soap operas from South Korea become popular in China______A. 1991．B. 1971．C. 2010．D. 2001．37.Most people in China like watching shows made in ______ ．A. EuropeB. ChinaC. South KoreaD. Japan38.The soap operas made in China are not as popular as those in South Korea or America，because ______ ．A. senior officials don't allow us to watch themB. they are not very interesting and excitingC.

Europeans eat 365grapes on New Year's Day30.When eating black-eyed peas on New Year's Day，people think ______ ．A. one pea brings one day of luckB. black-eyed peas are the best medicineC. the peas are too black and taste badD. the peas are helpful to count numbers．BFor years I went to school by bus，so I met many"familiar"strangers．We took the same bus but didn't know each other's names．I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends．How wrong I was！Smiles from the"nameless"people have changed my thoughts．The first time I got on the bus，I saw different faces．We met，greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces．As days went on，we chatted like old friends．But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus．Her old clothing suggested that she didn't have much money，but she always took a cup of water for the driver．I guessed she was a kind girl．But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us？Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings？Couldn't she smile？Then，one evening，I got the answer．I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree，lonely and sad．I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months，but this time her face turned red，then a shy smile appeared．As soon as she began her first words，I understood why she hadn't spoken to us before．Talking was hard for her．I learnt her story：Her parents worked hard somewhere．She lived with her disabled grandparents．She said，"I can't express myself very well．Most of the time，I can't say what I want to say．I have no friends but…you always smile to me like an angel…so I also want to smile．"That evening，we exchanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends．Smile is the key to opening the door of the heart；it can break the cold walls in front of us．31.All the following words can describe the girl except ______ ．A. silentB. kindC. proudD. poor32.The writer often met the girl ______ ．A. on the busB. in the parkC. at schoolD. under the tree33.The girl had difficulty in ______ ．A. listeningB. singingC. writingD. talking34.Which of the following is TRUE？______A.

The writer can't make friends with those nameless people on the bus now．35.The main idea of the passage is that ______ ．A. we should help those silent peopleB. smiles can deal with every difficulty we meetC. we should smile to the nameless people on the busD. smiles can help us get closer and understand each other better．CSoap operas from South Korea have been popular in China for more than twenty years now．So it is not the first time for the soap operas made in China to feel less popular．But this time，they are facing more difficulties，for The Heirs（继承者们）and My Love From the Star really made a full success，which even attracted some top officials．A senior official said he sometimes watched soap operas from South Korea，as well as House of Cards，an American opera about politics．These operas made both in South Korea and in America have a lot of lovers in China．Many people agree that China's soap operas can't be much loved by most Chinese，because they are not as interesting and exciting as those operas from South Korea and America，such as My Love From the Star，a South Korean love story between a time-traveling professor and a famous movie star．However，South Korea not only provides soap operas but also some variety shows（综艺节目）．Where Are We Going，Dad？is not an original Chinese show．We learned it from South Korea although not many in China are aware（意识到）of that fact．Actually，China has a closer culture with South Korea．Shows from this neighbor seem to do better with their exciting stories on the Cinderella theme（灰姑娘主题）．Yet they have created many popular shows whose stories tell there's no difference between men and women even though in their country men are certain to play a more important role．36.When might soap operas from South Korea become popular in China______A. 1991．B. 1971．C. 2010．D. 2001．37.Most people in China like watching shows made in ______ ．A.

It was a handwritten letter thanking me for some Shanghai cookies I’d sent her. Aunt Lorraine is ninety-one years old and she has wonderful manners, which is why she sent me the “thank you”letter. She also has wonderful handwriting. Her penmanship is smooth and flowing with each individual letter and word perfectly formed. She is a pleasure to read.Aunt Lorraine was educated at a time when penmanship was considered an important skill. Today, in this age of e-mail and text messaging, few people have the time or incline to write letters or practice their penmanship. This is unfortunate, but good penmanship is still important, especially in school. If you want to get good grades on your essays, neatness counts. Your essay might be full of good ideas but messy handwriting can turn an A into a B. And illegible handwriting can get you a D.Good penmanship has other benefits, too. Since it’s a skill, it trains your brain and develops your learning abilities. It also helps you to organize your thoughts and ideas. And, believe it or not, that slow process of pushing a pen long paper improves your reading, spelling and even your pronunciation of English.Apart from (除了) all these educational benefits, good penmanship also has personal benefits.A neatly written letter to a friend is something they will treasure forever. A letter that looks as if a chicken had danced across the paper will be quickly tossed. I’ve kept the letter from my Aunt Lorraine, it’s a treasure!( )51. Aunt Lorraine thanked me because I sent her _______.A. Shanghai cookiesB. Shanghai giftsC. the map of ShanghaiD. a flower( )52.

The word “penmanship” in the passage means _______.A. skills or style in handwritingB. an articleC. a letterD. a piece of paper( )55. The passage is mainly about _______.A. the importance of handwritingB. Aunt Lorraine’s letterC. the writer’s Shanghai cookiesD. the writer’s grades（B）Spider-Man 3 (《蜘蛛侠3》) got $29.15 million on the very first day in 16 overseas markets and beat the first two Spider-Man movies.“The movie had the best opening day ever in some countries on Tuesday, including France, Italy and South Korea.” A man from Sony Pictures said.“Spider-Man 3 will open during the next few days in many other countries, including the United States on Friday. We certainly hope the same thing will happen in North America,” said Jeff Blake, Sony vice chairman, on Wednesday.2002’s Spider-Man opened with $114.8 million in its first weekend, a debut record that stood until Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Man’s Chest broke it last year with $135.6 million a weekend.Spider-Man2 opened on a Wednesday before the fourth weekend of July in 2004, and set a record of $180.1 million in its first six days.In France, Spider-Man 3 took in $6.8 million on the opening day, more than the first days for Spider-Man and Spider-Man 2 combined.It earned $4.6 million in Germany, $4 million in Italy, $3.7 million in Japan, $3.4 million in South Korea, $1.1 million in the Philippines and $1 million each in Hong Kong and Thailand.

Spider-Man 3 is very popular all over the world( )60. You should probably read this passage from ________.A. a talk showB. a movie magazineC. an adD. a notice（C）Did you ever wonder why your favorite foods taste so good? Well, you should thank yourtaste buds (味蕾) for letting you enjoy the saltiness and the sweetness.Taste buds are sensory organs (感觉器官) that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they’re replaced (替换) every 2 weeks or so. But as a person grows older, some of those taste buds don’t get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That’s why certain foods may have a stronger taste for children than they do for adults. Smoking can also reduce the number of taste buds a person has.But before you give taste buds all the thanks for your favorite flavors (滋味), it’s important to thank your nose too. The upper part of your nose can receive the chemicals that make your brain create the sensation (感觉) of flavor. If you hold your nose while eating, your taste buds are able to tell your brain something about what you’re eating —that it’s sweet, for instance—but you won’t able to pick out the exact flavor until you let go of your nose.So next time you enjoy an apple or some soup, thank your tongue and your nose! Without them, life wouldn’t have any flavors.( )61. How many working taste buds may an old man have?A. 10,000B. 5,000C. 2,000D. 8,000( )62. What does the underlined word “reduce” mean in Chinese?A. 减少B. 增加C. 改变D.失去( )63. What can we learn from the passage?A. The same food has a stronger taste for children than for adultsB. Adults can enjoy some foods more easilyC. A person can’t smell things that are sweet, salty, sour, and bitterD. People’s taste buds will not work when they hold their noses( )64. What will happen if you catch a bad cold and your nose is stuffy?A. You can’t taste anything at allB. Things will taste the sameC. You won’t be able to tell the exact flavorD. Your brain will create a stronger flavor( )65. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. How to enjoy delicious foodB. What are taste budsC. How do taste buds workD. We should thank our noses（D）Here are some tips on how to talk with your parents.Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask your parents questions about their day. They love this!Make it clear what you want to tell your parents. If they have an opinion, let them finish and don’t disturb. Ask them to do the same for you.Show them respect by listening to them carefully. Look at their eyes sincerely.Be honest. Honesty builds trust (信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.If your parents don’t understand, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you or they’re not trying. Sometimes you have to explain things to them again or in a different way.When you finish the talk, thank them for listening. Say something like, “thanks! Thathelped.” It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do more often.If you feel there are still things to talk about, set up a time with them to talk about it another day.( )66. What’s the main idea of this passage?A. We should show respect to our parentsB. I t’s important to trust our parentsC. We should be thankful to our parentsD.

Understanding the love of parents．B. Getting gifts from children．C. Feeling the love inside．D. Expressing your love to your families．BHave you ever heard someone use the phrase"once in a blue moon"？People use this expression to describe something that they do not do very often．For example，someone might say that he tries to avoid eating sweets because they are unhealthy，but will eat chocolate"once in a blue moon"．Or someone who does not usually like to go to the beach might say"I visit the shore once in a blue moon．"While many people use this phrase，not everyone knows the meaning behind it．The first thing to know is that the moon itself is never really blue．This is just an expression．In fact，the phrase"blue moon"has to do with the shape of the moon，not the color．As the moon travels around the earth，it appears to change shape．We associate names with certain shapes of the moon．For example，when we can see a small part of the moon，it is called a crescent moon．A crescent is a shape that looks like the tip of a fingernail．When we cannot see the moon at all，it is called a new moon．When we can see the whole moon，it is called a full moon．Usually，there is only one full moon every month．Sometimes，however there will be two full moons in one month．When this happens，the second full moon is called a blue moon．Over the next 20years，there will only be 15blue moons．As you can see，a blue moon is a very rare event．This fact has led people to use the expression"once in a blue moon"to other very rare events in their lives．31.You can most probably read the passage in ______ ．A. a science bookB. a story bookC. a history bookD. a writing book32.Which of the following would be a good example of using the phrase"once in ablue moon"？______A. Simon often tells jokes．He tells jokes once in a blue moon．B. Tom rarely remembers to do exercise．He does exercise once in a blue moon．C.

Cindy hates to stay up，but she stays up every day．She stays up once in a blue moon．33.When does a blue moon happen in nature？______A. When the moon has a blue moon．B. When we can only see a small part of the moon．C. When we cannot see the moon at all．D. When there are two full moons in one month．34.How often will a blue moon happen over the next twenty years？______A. Once a year．B. Less than once a year．C. More than once a year．D. At least twice a year．35.What does the underlined part"This fact"in the last paragraph refer to？______A. A blue moon is a very rare event．B. The moon appears to change shape．C.

It was a handwritten letter thanking me for some Shanghai cookies I’d sent her.Aunt Lorraine is ninety-one years old and she has wonderful manners, which is why she sent me the“thank you”letter. She also has wonderful handwriting. Her penmanship is smooth and flowing with each individual letter and word perfectly formed. She is a pleasure to read.Aunt Lorraine was educated at a time when penmanship was considered an important skill. Today, in this age of e-mail and text messaging, few people have the time or inclination to write letters or practice their penmanship. This is unfortunate, but good penmanship is still important, especially in school. If you want to get good grades on your essays, neatness counts. Y our essay might be full of good ideas but messy handwriting can turn an A into a B. And illegible handwriting can get you a D.Good penmanship has other benefits, too. Since it’s a skill, it trains your brain and develops your learning abilities. It also helps you to organize your thoughts and ideas. And, believe it or not, that slow process of pushing a pen along paper improves your reading, spelling and even your pronunciation of English.Apart from(除了) all these educational benefits, good penmanship also has personal benefits.A neatly written letter to a friend is something they will treasure forever. A letter that looks as if a chicken had danced across the paper will be quickly tossed. I’ve kept the letter from my Aunt Lorraine, it’s a treasure!51.

Spider-man 3 is very popular all over the world60. Y ou would probably read this passage from ______.A. a talk showB. a movie magazineC. an adD. a notice（C）Did you ever wonder why your favorite foods taste so good? Well, you should thank your taste buds(味蕾) for letting you enjoy the saltiness and the sweetness.Taste buds are sensory organs（感觉器官）that are found on your tongue and allow you to experience tastes that are sweet, salty, sour and bitter. The average person has about 10,000 taste buds and they’re replaced（替换）every 2 weeks or so. But as a person grows older, some of those taste buds don’t get replaced. An older person may only have 5,000 working taste buds. That’s why certain foods may have a stronger taste for children than they do for adults. Smoking can also reduce the number of taste buds a person has.But before you give taste buds all the thanks for your favorite flavors(滋味), it’s im portant to thank your nose too. The upper part of your nose can receive the chemicals that make your brain create the sensation(感觉) of flavor. So when you have a cold, and your nose is stuffy, you might notice that your food doesn’t seem to have much flavo r. If you hold your nose while eating, your taste buds ar e able to tell your brain something about what you’re eating —that it’s sweet, for instance —but you won’t be able to pick out the exact flavor until you let go of your nose.So the next time you enjoy an apple or some soup, thank your tongue and your nose! Without them, life wouldn’t have any flavors.61. How many working taste buds may an old man have?A. 10,000.B. 5,000.C. 2,000.D. 8,000.62. What does the underlined word ― reduce‖ me an in Chinese?A. 减少B. 增加C. 改变D. 失去63. What can we learn from the passage?A. The same food has a stronger taste for children than for adults.B. Adults can enjoy some foods more easily.C. A person can’t smell things that are sweet, salty, sour, an d bitter.D. People’s taste buds will not work when they hold their noses.64. What will happen if you catch a bad cold and your nose is stuffy?A. Y ou can’t taste anything at all.B. Things will taste the same.C. Y ou won’t be able to tell the exact flavo r.D. Y our brain will create a stronger flavor.65. What does the second paragraph mainly tell us?A. How to enjoy delicious food.B. What are taste buds.C. How do taste buds work.D. We should thank our noses.(D)Here are some tips on how to talk with your parents.Try to start your talk with something fun. This will make talking easier. For example, ask your parents questions about their day. They love this!Make it clear what you want to tell your parents. If they have an opinion, let them finish and don’t disturb. Ask them to do the same for you.Show them respect by listening to them carefully. Look at their eyes sincerely.Be honest. Honesty builds trust(信任). Life is good when your parents trust you.If your parents don’t understand, that’s OK. It doesn’t mean they don’t love you or they’re nottrying. Sometimes you have to explain things to them again or in a different way, When you finish the talk, thank them for listening,. Say something like, ―thanks! That helped.‖ It will let them know this is important to you, and make them want to do i t more often.If you feel there are still things to talk about, set up a time with them to talk about it another day.66.
