Five interesting sportsOur most unusual sports from around the worldEvery country has a national sport and some popular sports are now played across the world, However, in most countries, people also play unusual sports, with strange or interesting rules. Here are our top five unusual sports from around the planet.Man vs. Horse MarathonThis race takes place in a small town in Wales, about 200 miles from London. It’s called a marathon (马拉松),but it's actually 35.4km, not 42.2km like a usual marathon.People race against horses across the hills and mountains.It started in 1981, but a human did not win until 2004.Camel WrestlingIn Turkey, camel（骆驼）wrestling is a very old sport. The largest camel wrestling competition takes place every year and thousands of people come. In the sport, two camels fight against each other. Sometimes the camels do not want to fight and they run through the crowds, which can be dangerous.Dragon Boat RacingEvery year in China, thousands of people watch dragon boat races. A dragon boat is a traditional Chinese boat with a painted dragon's head on one end. There can be up to 36 people or more racing in each boat in the water. Dragon boat racing is also popular in some other Asian countries.Caber TossIn this sport, players compete to throw a large piece of wood called a caber as far as they can. There is no rule about the size of the caber, but it’s usually the size of a small tree. It’s an ancient Scottish sport. Visitors to the UK can check it out. Chess BoxingA good chess boxer needs to be both strong and smart. Players play a round of chess, followed by a round of boxing. There are eleven rounds in total. Chess boxing was invented in 1992 by an English comic book writer. The sport is more popular in England and Germany.（1）What can we learn about Man vs. Horse Marathon?A.it is an outdoor sport.B.It first appeared 16 years ago.C.No human has ever won the game.D.It follows the rules of a usual marathon.（2）Which of the following is mentioned about Camel Wrestling?A.It should be stopped.B.It’s worth seeing.C.It s unfair to the animals.D.It’s sometimes dangerous to watch.（3）Which picture best describes Caber Toss?A.

What will astronauts （字航员） eat when a space trip takes years?"Lots of fresh vegetables," says Dr． Janet Williams, whose team have spent the last 10 years learning how to grow plants in a space station． And it's a good thing that she has already started her work, because space gardening can be really hard．As usual, astronaut George White looked into the closed plant room． He had planted Dr． Williams's quick﹣growing seedlings in it, but none of the stems were showing． He opened the room to check and found the problem． The stems weren't growing upward and the roots weren't growing downward． On Earth, gravity （重力） helps a plant's stems and roots to find"up" and"down"． However, in the space station,there was almost no gravity．Dr．Williams suggested a solution: give the plants more light,as plants also use sunlight to find their way． And it worked． When the plants had more light, the stems turned up and the roots went down．Now Dr．Williams was free to worry about the next problem: Would her baby plants live to flower? Can we grow food on a space journey?Many plants died in the space station． Dr．Williamns thought she knew why: the space plants were hungry for air． Plants live by taking up CO2 from the air． Since a plant uses it up in the air around, the plant needs moving air to bring more CO2 close to its surface． On Earth, the air is alwaysmoving． Gravity pulls down cold air, and warm air rises． And with these air movements,plants get enough CO2．Many earier experiments with plants in space hard used closed rooms． Dr Williams tried a new greenhouse that had a fan to keep the air move． The plants loved________． They flowered and even produced more seeds． Using Dr． Williams's method, astronaut George completed the first seed﹣to﹣seed experiment in space, and moved one plant closer to a garden in space．"And this," says Dr． Williams,"is good news for long﹣term space travel．"（1）Why have Dr． Williams's team tried to grow plants in space？________A. To produce fresh air for astronauts．B. To help astronauts relax themselves．C. To provide food for long space journeys．D. To make the space garden more beautiful．．（2）How did light help solve the problem mentioned in Paragraph 3？________A. It caused the gravity to change．B. It encouraged the plants to grow faster．C. It helped the plants to grow in the right direction．D. It showed the astronauts where to plant vegetables．．（3）Why did many plants die in the space station？________A. The light was too strong．B. There was too much CO2．C. There was not enough room to grow．D. The air condition was not good enough．．（4）The underlined word "it" in Paragraph 7 refers to________．A. the moving airB. the closed roomC. the space journeyD. the space garden．（5）What can we learn about Dr． Williams's team from the passage？________A. They mainly live on fresh vegetables．B. They have successfully built a space garden．C. They invented a special fan for their greenhouse．D. They have worked on space gardening for many years．．三、补全短文5选5)7. StorytellingStorytelling has caught the human imagination for thousands of years.

Anything a culture wanted to protect一its beliefs, its history, and its traditions—had to be told out loud. Each generation would tell the culture’s stories to the next.【小题2】Knowledge passed on in this method is called the spoken tradition. Even cultures that know how to write still pass along some information in this way.【小题3】In other cultures only special storytellers were trusted to do this important job.A culture’s best storytellers had good memories. They could also make the stories very interesting, so people would listen and remember them. Sometimes people would sing the stories or tell them in the form of poems.【小题4】However, stories told aloud change over time as different people tell them. A storyteller might change a story in order to make it better. Or a teller may simply not remember all the details of a story. Unlike written stories, the spoken tradition is not created by any one person. 【小题5】Sometimes the stories are collected and written down long after they have been created.A．In this way the stories were passed along.B．In some cultures everyone would pass along the stories.C．Songs and poems can both make stories easier to remember.D．Instead, a whole culture helps shape the changing stories throughout history.E．Today stories are also written down in books and acted out in movies, TV shows, and plays.四、根据首字母填空)8.

Last winter, he became a hero for saving the lives of 30 children. It was all because of a smart decision he made.It was an unforgettable afternoon for Dustin and the kids. He was driving 30 students home. Suddenly, the school bus broke down. It lost power(动力)but thankfully, Dustin was able to pull it over. Seeing that the school bus was not pletely out of the road, Dustin felt a need to do more to keep the students away from danger. So he guided the students out of the bus and took them to a safe place nearby.“It is just instinct(本能)for people to go far away from the school bus and wait in the grass until help es,”Dustin explained. He then made calls and asked the parents to pick up their kids. Just about five minutes after they got off the bus, something terrible happened. A big truck passed too close and hit the bus! The accident caused serious damage(破坏)to the school bus. Thanks to Dustin's getting the kids off the school bus, none of them were injured(受伤的).Parents called Dustin a hero for his smart decision.

Which of the following can best describe this event(事件)?A. Never too old to learn.B. You can't be too careful.C. No pains, no gains.D. Where there is a will, there is a way.重点句型及难句分析:Seeing that the school bus was not pletely out of the road, Dustin felt a need to do more to keep the students away from danger.句意:看到校车并未完全离开公路,Dustin 觉得有必要做更多的事情来让学生们远离危险.Seeing that the school bus was not pletely out of the road是动名词短语作伴随状语.答案解析:1.A 画线词上文提到校车失去了动力,但是同时很幸运;并且下文也提到校车并未完全离开公路,且Dustin 还指挥学生下车,说明校车在失去了动力之后一直处于静止状态,所以推测此处pull it over 意为＂把车停在了路边”.故选A.2.A 根据第三段中的“＇It is just instinct for people to go far away from the school bus and wait in the grass until help es,' Dustin explained.”和最后一段中的“My job is to take care of these young students. I’ll do whatever it takes to take care of them.”可知,Dustin很谦虚,他认为这是他的工作,是他应该做的.故选A.3.A 根据全文内容可知,第一段概述事件内容,第二、三、四段详细展开叙述,所以本文结构为总分结构.故选A.4.B根据全文内容可知,Dustin 因为足够小心谨慎,注意到校车并未完全离开公路,并且及时作出了一个明智的决定,拯救了30名学生.所以B选项“再怎么小心也不为过.”符合文意.A选项意为“活到老学到老.”;C选项意为“没有付出,就没有收获.”;D选项意为“有志者事竟成.”.故选B.Two friends两个朋友体裁记叙文难度★★★词数169Little Jimmy is happy because he has a good friend called Sally. She is one of his neighbours(邻居). They often talk with each other and play hideandseek.Now, the two friends are 1 games in the garden of Jimmy's home.

C．To use the rubbish again.D．To stop sea pollution.
Have you ever thought how important T-shirts are in your life? I don’t mean expensive designer T-shirts, After all, just because you spend a lot of money on a shirt doesn’t mean that it looks good. I’m talking about the T-shirts that say something about you, like where you’ve been, what you like, or what you think. Those are often the T-shirts that we feel the most comfortable in and that we wear again and again. I’m going to tell you about two T-shirts that I really, really love and explain why.
When we got closer, we saw that there was a piece of plastic（塑料）around the turtle’s legs. “Let’s help it,” I said. So Dad jumped into the water, swam to the turtle and brought it back to the boat. “There you go, little turtle; now you can swim to your family, “Dad said as he cut the plastic off. Then Derek and I put it back in the water. “I know! We should make a sign about not throwing rubbish into the sea, and put it in the sand on the beach,” I said. “I’ll help, too,” said Derek. “Great idea, boys. If we don’t all do something to stop sea pollution, these sea animals will die.”

It was terrible.On the next day，the headmaster came and told my two teachers what had happened.I was taking a rest that day. I knew it had something to do with my mother. I kept thinking that she either died or had gotten better. How I wished that she had gotten better. When my teacher took me outside，my sister ran up to me. She started crying，“She‘s gone. Teresa，mommy’s gone. She‘s dead.” I couldn’t’t believe it. We jumped into the car and drove straight to the hospital. Most of my family were there. The silence was terrible. I knew I had to say goodbye.Today when I look back，I still miss my mother very much，but I know that I will live. My mother was a strong mother，who had the biggest heart. My mother was an angel walking on the earth. I will always remember her as living. When someone is asked who their hero （英雄） is，they usually say someone famous，like Michael Jordan or Britney Spears. When someone asks me who my hero is，I tell them，my mother. My mother lives every day. That is what makes her a true hero.依据以上短文内容，然后从每题所给的四个选项中选择最佳选项。

Marianne looked for stories from around the world to awaken admiration for different peoples and cultures. Most important, Cricket would never talk down to children.Marianne knew that children were filled with fun, and she wanted Cricket to be, too —“humor from the heart that makes you laugh out loud. ” And so. she named her literary magazines after a funny group of bugs（虫子）, such as Lady bung and Spider.Over the years. Cricket has been read by millions of children and given many writers and artists their start Marianne kept a special box of “love letters” to the magazine. Shetreasured these letters from Cricket readers, including long-ago readers. They told her that their interest in reading had begun with Cricket.▲ She considered other names, such as Troubadour or Taliesin, the singers and storytellers of old who traveled from one place to another to share their songs and stories. Then one night, she was reading Isaac Bashevi Singer’s memoir（回忆录）A Day of Pleasure about his childhood in Warsaw. In it he wrote∶“There was a stove in Shosha’s apartment behind which there lived a cricket. It chirped the nights through all winter long I imagined the cri cket was telling a story that would never end. ” That’s exactly what Marianne wanted her children’s magazine to do—to tell stories that would never end! So the name Cricker became her best choice.Thank you for everything, Marianne. May the stories, and the laughter, never end! 19．Cricket is a magazine most probably for ________.A．writer B．children C．artists D．teachers 20．According to the passage, Marianne ________.A．made an effort to find the best storiesB．raised many bugs as her petsC．replied to long-ago Cricket readersD．started Cricket 39 years ago21．Which of the following can be the best to fill in “▲ ” in Paragraph 5?A．How was the life of cricketsB．When was the magazine Cricket born?C．What did Marianne think of crickets?D．Why did Marianne name her magazine Cricker?22．The best title for the passage can probably be ________.A．The Life of a Cricket B．Admiration for Different Cultures C．Best Stories for the Young D．Achievements in Marianne’s LifeThe Youth Climate Summit (气候峰会) a week-long festival of climate action for primary and middle schools in the UK, starts on 9 November. It aims to create a fairer, more environmental world and make promises that will help the planet. Climate change is thelong-term changes in the world’s weather patterns that are mostly caused by human activity. “Unlike world leaders,” say the summit’s organizers, “young people are refusing to let it dropoff the plan.”Each day has a topic, which includes food and fashion, looking at how humans harm the environment and how to save the planet. Organizations are leading some on line activities. For example, the Marine Conservation Society is hosting meetings on protecting sea fish. Separately, the environmental organization Greenpeace is running a workshop on how to turn worn-out clothing into something new and wearable.The summit will finish on 13 November, when youth ambassadors (大使) wants schools to stop paper waste. Max, another 16-year-old ambassador wants schools to organize more trips and activities that get students outside to experience the beauty of nature. As part of the summit, hundreds of schools across the country are signing up to the Let’s Go Zero activity, aiming to become carbon-zero (零碳的) by 2030.Carbon-zero schools are ones that promise to stop emitting carbon in seven areas, including where they get their food and how they use water and recycle their waste. The activity is run by Ashden, a charity working towards climate solutions. Ashden hopes that schools will be able to help each other by sharing ideas and methods. It is also calling on the Government to back the promise. Head over to where you can find out more.23．The writer develops the first sentence in Paragraph 2 mainly by ________.A．telling stories B．comparing facts C．giving examples D．listing numbers 24．Max advises schools to ________.A．recycle and reuse old clothesB．prevent students from wasting paperC．have meetings on saving endangered sea fishD．provide more chances for students to enjoy the nature25．The underlined word "emitting" in Paragraph 4 is the closest in meaning to “________”. A．using up B．taking in C．sending out D．cutting down 26．The purpose of the passage is mainly to ________.A．explain the problems with climate changeB．develop children’s ability to solve social problemsC．introduce the environmental organizations to schoolsD．encourage young people to care more about climate changeIf we want to grow as people, we can’t just depend on our own e valuation (评价) of how we’re doing. We also need to know what other people think about our performance. Receiving feedback (反馈) from others can help us see the larger picture and show us a way forward to success. However, someone has to give that feedback, and sometimes, that someone will be you. How should you deal with this?First things first—if you notice a situation in which some feedback would be helpful, give it as soon as you can. If you wait until the matter disappears from the person’s mind, they might not understand what you’re trying to tell them. Take the person to a safe, comfortable place and offer your advice in private.When you’re giving feedback, it’s important to keep in mind that no one likes to be told they’re doing a bad job. Make sure you give an equal (相等的) amount of good feedback to balance out (平衡) any thing bad. Like the saying goes, “A spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down.”All good feedback shares something in common. First, it should help achieve a goal. It’s less useful to tell your friends that their dish tastes “interesting” than it is to suggest adding a little salt. Feedback should also look toward the future. You can’t change what’s already happened, but you can prevent it from happening again. Tell your friends they should take more notes in class instead of talking about how they should have studied harder for the big history exam they failed.Finally, don’t think your suggestion is the only correct way to deal with a situation. You might even end up with some feedback on your feedback. Don’t take it personally — it can only help you give better advice next time27．What does the underlined word “this” in Paragraph 1 probably mean?A．Seeing the picture. B．Giving feedbackC．Receiving feedback. D．Showing a way to success28．Why is it important to give feedback in time according to Paragraph 2?A．You might forget to tell the person later on.B．Perhaps the person wants the feedback right away.C．Maybe the person needs time to understand your advice.D．If you wait too long, the person might forget what’s happened.29．What can we infer (推断) from the underlined saying in Paragraph 3?A．It’s helpful to keep on giving bad feedback.B．It’s difficult to do a good job all the time.C．It’s better to balance good and bad feedback.D．It’s important to think twice before giving feedback.30．The passage is mainly about ________.A．what characters good feedback includesB．how people should give feedback properlyC．the differences between good and bad feedbackD．the importance of giving and receiving feedback三、补全短文5选5下面是宇航员Jose Hernandez的采访页面。

These lion statues lie at the sides of the entrances to restaurants and shopping malls as well (the pair in the picture stand guard within the Forbidden City). They are also found in Chinese communities around the world. In Chinese culture, the lion is a symbol of strength and good luck and defends against something bad.Whether made of stone or metal, these big and heavy statues are always used in pairs, one on each side of a door or gate. Looking out on the left (your right as you move towards the entrance) is the male lion, with his right front paw on a ball that stands for the world. On the other side, the female lion rests her left paw on a baby lion, standing for the raising of life. The two lions show us the Chinese idea of yin and yang: opposites that create one whole. In the mouths of some lion statues is a big pearl, a symbol of wisdom and power. These statues are designed so that the pearl can move around but not be removed.Historians believe lions were brought to China during the Han Dynasty (206 B．C．-220 A．D．), a time of increasing trade along the Silk Road. The lions were from Central Asia and were smaller than the more familiar African lion. Interestingly, in China, unlike in the West, these statues are never called “fu dogs”. Here are some interpretations: some think the lions are like Chinese dogs, such as the shih tzu (狮子狗), chowchow and so on. Others say that “fu” sounds like the Chinese word for “success” and the word for “Buddha”.11．People place the lion statues at the sides of the entrance because ________.A．they are from the Forbidden City B．they can fight against bad peopleC．they are important buildings in China D．they stand for strength and good luck 12．Paragraph 2 is mainly about ________.A．what the lion statues are made of B．what the lion statues stand forC．how much people like the lion statues D．where the lion statues come from13．The underlined words “interpretations” in Paragraph 3 mean ________.A．agreements.B．collectionsC．explanations D．translations14．The passage was probably written by ________.A．a person who likes animals very muchB．a businessman who runs shopping mallC．a foreigner who designs stone or metal lionsD．a researcher who is interested in historical treasure（2022·辽宁·铁岭县莲花第一初级中学一模）Gourds (葫芦) have a history of 7,000 years in China. These special-shaped plants are used for cooking delicious dishes as well as making musical instruments. But today we are talking about the pyrography craft (烙画工艺) on gourds.The craft began during the Han Dynasty and entered its golden age during the Qing Dynasty. Many cities of China like Tianjin and Beijing are well-known for their production of such gourds. Take the craft from Beijing as an example. As the family’s fourth-generation inheritor (继承人) of Beijing’s gourd-pyrography craft, Niu Chengguo has worked hard on the craft for about 40 years. With his great love for beautiful things, Niu has kept improving his artistic skills and created many works of art.“When I was a little boy, I was deeply touched by the lively patterns on gourds which were created by my grandpa. I began studying how to create the artworks under my grandpa when I was 11,” said Niu.Niu’s efforts to improve his ability to create wonderful artworks succeeded, as his works have become popular both at home and abroad. His artworks have sold well in many countries in Southeast Asia, Europe and America. Many of his works have appeared in different cultural exchange activities held by the government of Beijing. As a result, the popularity of the gourd-pyrography craft has increased.In 2014, Niu started Beijing Gourd Art Manor to provide a platform (平台) to help visitors enjoy the beauty of the gourd craft. “I just want to make the traditional pyrography craft known and liked by more people.” Niu said.15．What can gourds be used for according to Paragraph One?A．Holding dishes.B．Making music.C．Creating artworks.D．Playing games.16．We can infer Niu Chengguo is _________.A．about 35 years old B．about 39 years oldC．about 41 years old D．about 55 years old17．Whose lively patterns on gourds touched Niu Chengguo?A．His grandpa’s.B．His grandma’s.C．Niu Chengguo’s.D．His father’s.18．His works have sold well in many countries EXCEPT _________.A．Asia B．Europe C．Africa D．America19．What's Niu’ purpose of providing a platform?A．To make money.B．To help visitors enjoy the beauty of the gourd craft.

It’s the capital city of Austria and the center of European classical music. In the eighteenth century, a lot of musicians came to study and work in Vienna.In the Strauss family, there were two composers（作曲家）called Johann Strauss: the father and the son. The father, Johann Strauss, the elder, wrote and played music for traditional dances, called the waltz. His dance music made him famous all over Europe. The son, Johann Strauss the younger, was also very successful and popular. He wrote over 150 waltzes. In 1867 he wrote The Blue Danube waltz.Mozart was another very important composer. He was born in Austria in 1756. Before he was six, he played not only the piano but also the violin. His family took him around Europe and he gave concerts in many cities. He wrote hundreds of pieces of music. But he became very poor and died in 1791 when he was only thirty-five. Like Johann Strauss, father and son, he was a great European musician, and many people still think his music is perfect. 1．Where is Vienna?A．In Australia. B．In Austria.

A healthy lifestyle is one that doesn’t take extremes（极端）as a way of life. Be moderate in what you do.Eat wellIt is important to pay attention to both what you eat and how you eat. As Socrates said : “ You should eat to live ;not live to eat.” A different diet（饮食）with vegetables and fresh fruits is good for the brain. Also take time off for meals.ExerciseStudents must know the value of exercise because it plays a necessary part in counterbalancing（抵消）the stress（压力）responses produced in our bodies by having to meet exams.SleepStudents are getting less and less of sleep which might lead to more stress. The hours of sleep before midnight are thought to be the most helpful. For this reason students mustre-regulate their body clock and go to bed and get up at regular time.Express yourselfThe way students feel about their work and other issues in their life plays a huge part in how they deal with stress. It is advisable that students should be realistic whatever happens in their lives.To sum up, studies are really very important, but never at the expense（代价）of students’ physical and mental well-being. Besides, if students feel well they will be ready to face the challenges（挑战）of exams alive and kicking.5．What food is good for the brain according to paragraph two?A．Vegetables and fruits.

But walking around the park would take more time, and it was raining so hard that I couldn’t even see clearly what wasright before me. So I entered the park. And that was the first stupid thing I did tonight.Soon after I walked into the park. I saw a man under a tree up ahead. My heart fell. The stories I’d heard about the park were all coming into my head at this moment. Anyone with a clear mind would just turn back. But me? No. I did another stupid thing: I decided to hurry past him.Just when I was passing the man, he raised his head and gave me the strangest smile ever.I got scared and started running. “Hey” the man shouted from behind. “Wait” He was running after me!I ran like crazy. I had hoped the trees would keep some rain off. And they did. But they also made the park look even darker. I couldn’t see what was ahead of me. Then, I ran into something. It was the man!“Don’t kill me!” I cried.“What? I was trying to give back your bag! You dropped it” The man gave me my bag.Now, I felt saying that to the man was the stupidest thing I did tonight.9．Why did the writer enter the park?A．It was safer to go across the park.B．To go across the park would save time.C．The trees in the park could keep the rain off.10．What did the writer mean by “the first stupid thing” “another stupid thing” “the stupidest thing”?A．He felt proud of himself.B．He regretted what he had done.C．He felt ashamed of making so many mistakes.11．The “drop” in ________ has the same meaning as the underlined one in the last but two paragraph.A．He dropped off from his bike.B．Oh, they have had to drop their prices.C．Excuse me, Miss, you’ve dropped your umbrella.12．What’s the bet title for the passage?A．A Strange Man B．A Scary Park C．A Brave CrossIn Darayya, a city in Syria, there’s a library and it has 15,000 books on almost every subject you can think of. However, it is different from any libraries you know: It is a secret underground library, and only people in Darayya know where it is.Over the years, war has shaken Darayya badly. △Stores are closed one after another, and so are schools. To help the kids in Darayya with their learning, Anas Ahmad, a 19-year-old student, and his friends decided to build a library. They built the library under the ground to keep it safe from bombing. But it is dangerous to collect books for the library. Often, Ahmad and his friends look for books in houses that were bombed. They need to be careful because they may be killed in another bombing.You may ask, “In a place like Darayya, would people be interested in books?” “Just like the body needs food, the mind needs books, “says one library user. In the library, people enjoy their time of reading and forget about the terrible world above, so their life doesn’t seem so hard. Through reading, they are able to dream of a better life after war.13．What do we know about Darayya’s library?A．It was built during the war.B．It has been bombed many times.C．Most of its books are from outside of Darayya.14．Which can best replace “△” in the passage?A．Every day, houses are bombed and people are killed.B．Every night, people come to help to build the library.C．Every Monday, kids come to the library to read different books.15．Why do people in Darayya go to the library even during the war?A．They can get free food.B．They find joy and hope in reading.C．They want to learn how to win the war.16．The sentence—“Just like the body needs food, the mind needs books, ”says one library user. is used ________.A．to answer the question aboveB．to offer a solution to a problemC．to give a supporting example for a topicMy name is Alice Black.

We are all pupils at the School of the Air.The School of the Air is a school for children who live far from the cities, and who are in a place which does not have a local school. So we have “air” lessons ov er the radio or on the computer. Our teachers are at Port Augusta, a city which is about 160 kilometers away.In the morning, we go to our school at 8:45. △When we get there, we turn on the radio or computer and listen to what we should do. From then until twelve, we just do our usual lessons. In the afternoon, our mum makes us do some homework—well, not homework, but more work around the house.We send our exercise “books” to our teachers by email on Friday night. They mark them on Monday and Tuesday, and then send them back. We get them on Wednesday.The Internet and the telephone help us get in touch with our teachers quickly and easily. We talk to our teachers once a week for about ten minutes. They tell us if we are making progress. Next year I will start at a new school in Port Augusta. I will spend the weekdays there and come home at weekends. It will be good to be with teenagers of my age, but I will miss my family.

What do you know about the examinations taken at English secondary (中级的)schools ? Here are a few facts about some of them.Pupils who remain at school until they are sixteen normally take what is called the General Certificate (合格证) of Education at Ordinary Level. The examination is a subject examination. This means you can take a number of subjects. Some pupils take as many as ten. The more subjects the better chance a pupil has of getting a job on leaving school. For short, this examination is called G.C.E."O" Level. This certificate in five or six subjects is, if you like, the required starting point for types of work and also for many types of professional (职业的)training.Pupils who remain at school until they are eighteen or nineteen generally take the General Certificate of Education at Advanced Level popularly known as G.C.E."A" Level. This examination is usually taken in two, three or four specialized subjects. And because it is for the specialist, you have to study each subject intensively (深入仔细地) . A pupil who has passed two or three "A" levels can apply for (申请) admission(准许进入) to a university. These two examinations are written ones. Many English children take one or the other or both. Not all of them pass.1. The passage tells us something about _________ .A. English teachingB. English studiesC. until life in EnglandD. school education in England2. Pupils in England mustn't leave school ______________.A. until they pass G.C.E."O" Level examsB. until they pass G.C.E."A" Level examsC. until they are sixteenD. before they get a job3. In G.C.E."O" Level exam, the pupils _____________.A. must take ten subjectsB. must take more than ten subjectsC. must take five or six basic subjects at leastD. must take five or six basic subjects at most4. Usually pupils take G.C.E."O" Level exam _________.A. to make moneyB. go to collegeC. when they finish middle school educationD. when they reach the age of eighteen or nineteenPassage twoI strongly believe that it is rather important to be a good listener．And although I have become a better listener than I was ten years ago，I have to admit I'm still only an adequate (尚可的) listener.Effective listening is more than simply avoiding the bad habit of interrupting others whilethey are speaking or finishing their sentences. It's being content to listen to the entire thought of someone rather than waiting impatiently for your chance to respond (回答)．In some ways，the way we fail to listen is symbolic (象征性的) of the way we live. We often treat communication as if it were a race．It's almost like our goal is to have no gaps between the conclusion of the sentence of the person we are speaking with and the beginning of our own. My wife and I were recently at a cafe having lunch，overhearing the conversations around us. It seemed that no one was really listening to one another；instead they were taking turns not listening to one another．I asked my wife if I still did the same thing．With a smile on her face she said，“Only sometimes”.Slowing down your responses and becoming a better listener aids you in becoming a more peaceful person. It takes pressure from you. If you think about it，you'll notice that it takes an extremely large amount of energy and is very stressful to be sitting at the edge of your seat trying to guess what the person in front of you (or on the telephone) is going to say so that you can fire back your response. But as you wait for the person you are communicating with to finish，as you simply listen more carefully to what is being said，you'll notice that the pressure you feel is off. You will immediately feel more relaxed，and so will the people you are talking to．They will feel safe in slowing down their own responses because they won't feel in competition with you for “air time”! Not only will becoming a bett er listener make you a more patient person，it will also add to the quality of your relationships．Everyone loves to talk to someone who truly listens to what they are saying.5. According to the passage，an effective listener should __________.A. accept the speaker's thought critically (批评地)B. respond to the speaker's words slowlyC. wait for the chance to respond patientlyD. reply the speaker's question patiently6. My wife's words mean that sometimes I ___________.A. overhear other people's conversationsB. may enter a cafe for having lunchC. await patiently my chance to respondD. do not really listen to other's statement7. When talking with others，you will feel relaxed by ____________.A. sitting at the edge of the seatB. slowing down your responsesC. guessing the speaker's thoughtD. responding to the speaker quickly8. From the passage，we can NOT infer that ____________.A. the author was not an effective listener in the pastB. a person who only wants to respond is not welcomeC. the author's wife must always be an effective listenerD. both sides in a talk can benefit (得益) from effective listening1 vocabularyD B B A B C A A B DCBBDA ACBDDACBBB2 cloze1.
