On the first day, when we were dancing and playing games, I noticed a boy under the tree who was small and thin. His shyness made him appear weak. I walked towards him, introduced myself and invited him to join in the activities and meet some new people. He quietly replied, "No, I really don't want to do this." I could understand that he was in a new world but I knew it wouldn't be right to force him, either. Actually, the boy didn't need a close talk but a friend.At lunch the next day, I was leading camp songs when I saw the boy under the tree sitting alone.I tried again with the same invitation, but he refused once again. That evening I was told the boy's name was Tommy. Then I asked the campers to pay special attention to the boy and spend time with him when they could.The days went by and the time came when we had to leave. We held a big, warm party to celebrate the closing of the camp. All the campers shared their wonderful moments. To my surprise. I found the boy from under the tree dancing joyfully with two girls. I couldn't believe it was the same person.In October of my second year, I received a phone call from Tommy's mother. She told me that Tommy was hit by a car and killed. I offered my deep sadness. The mother said: "Tommy mentioned you so many times. I want you to know that he went back to school and made new friends with confidence. You made a difference for Tommy during his last months."At that moment, I realized how easy it was to give a bit of yourself every day. You may never know how much each gesture may mean to someone else. I hope that everyone can pay attention to their own "boy under the tree".( ) 1.

It is also a great way to get rid of the unwanted things in your home, with a chance of making a little money for yourself.There are slight differences in running a 50/50 sale, but the result is the same: 50% of the money raised goes to the charity; 50% to the seller.One way is the auction（拍卖）.

For more money they can keep a place for your unwanted things. They should decide how to deal with the things if theyare unsold: return to them or the charity. In order to attract more buyers for the auction, organizers should do something to please them; they can prepare drinks and a little entertainment for the crowd. The auction then starts. For each thing sold, 50% goes to the charity and 50% to the seller. Remember, this is in aid of charity, if you want to make more money, try eBay, and similar sites where may be some good bargains（讨价还价）to be found for a buyer.Another kind of 50/50 sale is just to put a price ticket on the thing.

So, the way you speak is especially important. In fact, researchers have calculated that 80% of communication over the phone is through your tone of voice; and only 20% is from the words you use. Here are our top tips on how to speak over the phone.1．Facial ExpressionsYour facial expression can influence your voice. For example, if you smile, your voice will sound warm and friendly, just the opposite, if you have an angry look on your face' it can make 6you sound unpleasant.2．VolumeIf you speak too loudly, you could sound angry. And if you speak too softly, it'll be difficult to hear you. So, speak loudly enough to be heard clearly, but not so loud that you're shouting.3．PaceThe pace of your voice is how quickly you speak. And this can show how you feel. For example, an angry person might speak faster than normal. Or a downhearted person might speak very slowly. Try speaking a little more slowly than normal. This will make you sound confident, and it'll make it easier for the other person to understand you.4. GesturesGesturing can influence the tone of your voice. When you gesture, you bring more air into the lungs, which can make your voice sound warmer. Gestures are also useful to help you stress the right words or even find the words you need. The best thing about gesturing during a phone call is that no one can see what you're doing, so you can gesture as wildly as you like!5．MovementIf you're feeling nervous, stand up and move around. It will reduce the nervousness in your body and help your voice to sound more confident.6．Pauses (停顿)Using pauses every now and then can help you to slow down. This will make you sound more confident and in control. Also, if you pause after giving some new information, it'll give the other person time to understand it. At the same time, listen to how the other person uses pauses. They could tell you something about the speaker's feeling. For example, when a speaker is really angry, he might use pauses and says, "I... am... so... angry..."A.20%.B.40%.C.60%.D.80%.How much of telephone communication is from the words you use?（1）A.Gesture wildly.B.Move around.C.Raise their voices.D.Make facial expressions.What can people do to reduce their nervousness on the phone?（2）A.B.C.D.How can pauses help people talk on the phone?The speaker can show he is friendly.The speaker can tell more information.The listener will feel confident and in control.The listener will have time to understand the words.（3）A.B.C.What is the passage mainly about?How to control the speed of your speech.Different good ways of talking on the phone.Reasons of making gestures while talking.（4）D.How to improve communication among friends.A.B.C.D.What is the writer's opinion about telephone talk?Your voice on the phone will show what you're feeling.Using too many pauses while talking will annoy others.Speaking loudly makes it easier for others to understand you.The words you use are more important than the way you speak.（5）A.B.C.D.E.Thang-ga （唐卡） is a special kind of painting. It was found only in Tibet, China. Inrecent years, Tang-ga paintings have caught the public's attention. At the same time, theChinese government has also tried hard to protect the art.Because of the special environment of Tibet and the excellent skills of artists, thepaints （颜料）used in Thang-ga are different from other paints. The paints were made by hand and the beautiful colors could last for hundreds of years.However, with the development of technology （科技发展）, people now use cheaper and more easily-made chemicals to make Thang-ga paints. and they were made in many secret ways. Later people stopped making the paints and forgot about them. Thertraditional Thang-ga paintings are difficult to find now.It started from the Tang Dynasty （唐朝）. Thang-ga paintings show Tibetan people's lives.So the skills needed to make them were almost lost.The color of Thang-ga paintings looks wonderful and special.They were made from minerals like gold and silver, as well as some plants.The traditional paints used in Thang-ga paintings took a lot of work.7Doctor Smith worked late last night and got everything r for his speech.8You have helped me with the project so much.

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.

Answer the questions (根据短文内容回答下列问题) （5分）The Mariana Trench (马里亚纳海沟) -- the deepest part of the world’soceans -- extends about 11 kilometers down in a farway part of the PacificOcean. But if you thought the trench could hide from plastic waste, youwould be wrong.A recent study showed that a plastic bag, found at a depth of more than10 kilometers in the trench, is now the deepest known piece of plastic waste.Scientists found it by looking through a collection of photos and videos taken from 5,010 dives over the past 30 years.Plastic can enter the ocean directly. It can be brought into the sea from a beach by tides(潮汐) or be thrown into the sea by people on ships. Of the rubbish shown in the photos and videos, plastic was the most often seen waste, and plastic bags in particular made up the greatest source of plastic waste.While the Mariana Trench may seem like a dark, lifeless deep hole, it is home to more lives than you might think such as coral and jellyfish. Many photos have shown some of these sea animals being caught in the plastic waste.The new study is just one among many showing that plastic pollution has become worldwide. What’s worse, it may take the waste hundreds of years or more to break down once it is in the wild.The ocean clearly contains much more plastic waste than a single plastic bag, and the recent study shows once again the deep influence humans can have on the planet.80.Where did scientists find the plastic bag, according to the recent study mentioned in the passage?81. How did scientsits find the plastic bag?82. What kind of waste can be seen most often in the ocean according to the photos and videos?83. How long does it take plastic waste to break down in the wild?84. What can you learn from the recent study mentioned in the passage?X．Writing (作文)（共10分）85.

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.

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. The moon itself is never really blue．D. A blue moon has to do with the shape of the moon．C36.Lucky's House needs some things EXPECT ______ ．A. foodB. moneyC. towelsD. animals37.Who was Mr．Joseph Brown？______A. He was an animal doctor．B.

(A)Some members of an International V oluntary Organization (国际志愿组织) arrived at a small village of an African country.The villagers lived in small houses, which were built with wood and leaves. There was no school or hospital. The villagers didn't know how to grow crops. They only went to kill some wild animals and pick some fruits in the mountains as their food. The volunteers (志愿者) came here to help the village kids. They brought with them many textbooks and some medicine. They taught the kids how to play volleyball and also tried to learn their language so that they could talk with the kids better.Because of their hard work, the International V oluntary Organization gave the villagers the money to carry electricity to the village.

In the English language, there are many expres sions using the word “mouth”. But some of them are not so nice.For example, if you say bad things about a person, the person might protest and say “Do not bad mouth me”.Sometimes when one person is speaking, he says the same thing that his friend was going to say. When this happens, the friend might say, “You took the wo rds right out of my mouth!”Sometimes a person has a bad or unpleasant experience with another person. He might say that experience “left a bad taste in my mouth”. Or the person has possibly had a very frightening experience, like being chased b y an angry dog. She might say, “I had my heart in my mouth”.Some people have lots of money because they were born into a very rich family. There is an expres sion for this, too. You might say such a person “was born with a silver spoon in his mouth”.This rich person is the opposite of a person who lives from “hand to mouth”. This person is very poor and only has enough money for the most important things in life, like food.( )46.When a man says "I had my heart in my mouth", usually he means he was ___________.A. excitedB. frightenedC. surprisedD. satisfied( )47.Your best friend Tony said what you were going to say, you might say,"_____________".A.
