As we all know, English is an important subject in middle school. Everyone knows that they must learn English well, but some people don't know how to learn it well. Here are some suggestions which may help you with your English.
The biggest problem is people's own fear. They worry that they won't say things correctly or that they will look foolish so that they don't speak English at all. Don't be afraid of being laughed at. Only if we aren't afraid of making mistakes can we learn English well.
The fastest way to learn something is to do it again and again until you get it right. Learning English needs practice. Don't let a little fear stop you from getting what you want.
The best way to learn English is to have a good environment. Take notes in English, put English books around your room, listen to English radios, watch English news, movies and TV programs. Speak English with your friends whenever you can. The more English materials that you have around you, the faster you will learn it.
Many people think that exercises and tests aren't much fun. However, by doing exercises and taking tests you can really improve your English. If you never test yourself, you will never know how much you are making progress.

A. not knowing how to learn B. being afraid of being laughed at

C
I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact, I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather(继父)and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
8. How did the author get to know America
A. From radio programs B. From books and pictures
C. From her mother D. From her relatives

A. often lost her way B. did not think about her future

A. She worked as a translator. B. She attended a lot of job interviews.
C. She paid telephone bills for her family. D. She helped her family with her English.
11. The author believes that ________.
A. her future will be free from troubles B. it is difficult to learn to become patient
C. there are more good things than bad things D. good things will happen if one keeps trying
D
Your house may have an influence on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you put on weight or lose weight. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains (窗帘) and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps (灯) and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors increase our appetites (胃口). In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed (消耗) 33% less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more delicious, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So, when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） each meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin paying attention to the time and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates (盘子) can easily make us fat. We eat about 22% more when using a 12-inch (英寸) plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14%. And we’ll pour (倒) about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
12 The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape
C. house buying D. healthy diets
13. A home environment in blue can help people_________.
A. enjoy food better B. eat less food
C. burn more calories D. have bigger appetites
14. What are people advised to do at mealtimes
A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.
C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.
15. What can be a suitable title for the test
A. Is Your House Making You Fat
B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Influence of Colors
D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing

I began to grow up that winter night when my parents and I were returning from my aunt’s house, and my mother said that we might soon be leaving for America. We were on the bus then. I was crying, and some people on the bus were turning around to look at me. I remember that I could not bear the thought of never hearing again the radio program for school children to which I listened every morning.
I do not remember myself crying for this reason again. In fact I think I cried very little when I was saying goodbye to my friends and relatives. When we were leaving I thought about all the places I was going to see—the strange and magical places I had known only from books and pictures. The country I was leaving and never to come back was hardly in my head then.
The four years that followed taught me the importance of optimism(乐观), but the idea did not come to me at once. For the first two years in New York I was really lost—having to study in three schools as a result of family moves. I did not quite know what I was or what I should be. Mother remarried, and things became even more complex for me. Some time passed before my stepfather(继父)and I got used to each other. I was often sad, and saw no end to “the hard times.”
My responsibilities in the family increased a lot since I knew English better than everyone else at home. I wrote letters, filled out forms, translated at interviews with immigration officers(移民局官员), took my grandparents to the doctor and translated there, and even discussed telephone bills with company representatives.
From my experiences I have learned one important rule: Almost all common troubles go away at last! Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.
8. How did the author get to know America

C. From her mother D. From her relatives
9. For the first two years in New York, the author ________.

10. What can we learn about the author from Paragraph 4
A. She worked as a translator. B. She attended a lot of job interviews.
C. She paid telephone bills for her family. D. She helped her family with her English.
11. The author believes that ________.

C. there are more good things than bad things D. good things will happen if one keeps trying

推理判断题。由第四段的“I knew English better than everyone else at home.

【11题详解】
推理判断题。由最后一段的“Something good is certain to happen in the end when you do not give up, and just wait a little! I believe that my life will turn out all right, even though it will not be that easy.”可知，只要你不放弃，很多好的事情一定会到来。尽管生活不会很容易，但最终一定会好起来的。由此判断出作者相信如果继续努力，好事就会发生。故选D。

Your house may have an influence on your figure. Experts say the way you design your home could play a role in whether you put on weight or lose weight. You can make your environment work for you instead of against you. Here are some ways to turn your home into part of diet plan.
Open the curtains (窗帘) and turn up the lights . Dark environments are more likely to encourage overeating , for people are often less self-conscious（难为情）when they’re in poorly lit places-and so more likely to eat lots of food . If your home doesn’t have enough window light, get more lamps (灯) and flood the place with brightness.
Mind the colors. Research suggests warm colors increase our appetites (胃口). In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed (消耗) 33% less than those in a yellow or red room. Warm colors like yellow make food appear more delicious, while cold colors make us feel less hungry. So, when it’s time to repaint, go blue.
Don’t forget the clock-or the radio. People who eat slowly tend to consume about 70 fewer calories（卡路里） each meal than those who rush through their meals. Begin paying attention to the time and try to make dinner last at least 30 minutes. And while you’re at it, actually sit down to eat. If you need some help slowing down, turn on relaxing music. It makes you less likely to rush through a meal.
Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates (盘子) can easily make us fat. We eat about 22% more when using a 12-inch (英寸) plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14%. And we’ll pour (倒) about 30 percent more liquid into a short, wide glass than a tall, skinny glass.
12. The text is especially helpful for those who care about_______.
A. their home comforts B. their body shape
C. house buying D. healthy diets
13. A home environment in blue can help people_________.
A. enjoy food better B. eat less food
C. burn more calories D. have bigger appetites
14. What are people advised to do at mealtimes
A. Eat quickly. B. Play fast music.
C. Use smaller spoons. D. Turn down the lights.
15. What can be a suitable title for the test
A. Is Your House Making You Fat
B. Ways of Serving Dinner
C. Influence of Colors
D. Is Your Home Environment Relaxing
【答案】12 B 13. B 14. C 15. A

【13题详解】
细节理解题。根据第三段“In one study, people who ate meals in a blue room consumed 33 percent less than those in a yellow or red room.（在一项研究中，在蓝色房间吃饭的人比在黄色或红色房间吃饭的人少消耗33% 的食物。）”可知，在蓝色房间用餐的人们比在黄色或红色房间用餐的人们吃得少。故选B项。
【14题详解】
细节理解题。根据最后一段“Downsize the dishes. Big serving bowls and plates (盘子) can easily make us fat. We eat about 22% more when using a 12-inch (英寸) plate instead of a 10-inch plate. When we choose a large spoon over a smaller one ,total intake（摄入） jumps by 14%.（使用小号餐具。大碗和盘子很容易使我们发胖。当我们用12英寸的盘子而不是10英寸的盘子时，我们会多吃22% 。当我们选择一个大勺子而不是一个小勺子时，总摄入量会增加14% 。）”可知，用小号的餐具会使我们吃得少。故选C项。
【15题详解】

Public Speaking Training
Get a coach
___16___, so get help. Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses, here are some things to look for when deciding the training that's right for you.
Focus on positives
Any training you do to become more effective at public speaking should always focus on the positive aspects of what you already do well. Nothing can hurt confidence more than being told that you aren't doing well. ___17___, so good public speaking training should develop those instead of telling you what you shouldn’t do.
___18___
If you find a public speaking course that looks as though it’s going to give you lots of dos and don'ts, walk away! Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about. ___19___. As far as we’re concerned, there are basically no hard and fast rules about public speaking. Your audience can be your friends.
You are a special person not a clone.
Most importantly, good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits. ___20___. Your training course should help you bring out your personality, not try to turn you into someone you're not.
A. You aren’t like anybody else
B. You already do lots of things well
C. Turn your back on too many rules
D. Check the rules about dos and don’ts
E. Whatever the presentation, public speaking is tough.
F. The one thing you don’t want is for them to fall asleep
G. So trying to force a whole set of rules into it will just make things worse
【答案】16. E 17. B 18. C 19. G 20. A
【解析】
【分析】这是一篇说明文。文章讲述了进行公共演讲的训练要点。你可以找到一个教练帮助你进行公众演讲训练也可以参加公众演讲训练课，并且指出应该找到适合自己的培训机构。
【16题详解】
根据本段小标题Get a coach以及设空处后句so get help（所以寻求一些帮助）可知，E项“不管是什么演讲，公开演讲都很难”符合此处语境，引起下文Since there are about a billion companies out there all ready to offer you public speaking training and courses。故选E。
【17题详解】
根据下文 so good public speaking training should develop those(好的公共演讲培训应该培养这些能力，而不是告诉你你不应该做什么事。)与空格形成因果关系，所以空格中应表达“你已经做得很好了＂的含义。故选B。
【18题详解】
本题位于段首，为整段的主旨大意。本段第一句中提到 lots of dos and don’ts,walk away!可知，如果有的培训讲太多的条条框框的话，要对条条框框说不。故选C（要对条条框框说不）作为本段主旨，符合题意。故选C。
【19题详解】
根据上一句 Your brain is so full of what you’re going to be talking about(你的脑子里满是你要讲的内容。)可知后一空与前一句形成因果关系，脑子里装满了条条框框只会使情况变得更糟。故选G。
【20题详解】
根据上一句good public speaking training should treat you as a special one, with your own personal habits.(良好公开演讲培训应该是把你视作一个特殊的人，有着自己个人的习惯。)可知，本段讲的是“与众不同”，故选A项。

【答案】Dear Tom,
You have asked me for my advice on how to get along well with other students. My suggestions are as follows.
To begin with, we should keep it in mind that any good relationship is based on understanding, trust and respect. As long as we treat them sincerely, we are sure to gain their respect in return. What’s more, we should be broad-minded, which means that we should respect opinions and behavior that are different from ours. Last but not least, it is also necessary to stand in others’ shoes and learn to forgive their faults.
I hope you will take my suggestions into serious account. Looking forward to your early reply.
Yours,
Li Hua
