二、阅读理解
I had a lot of teachers that I loved. However，the teacher that I remember most was Mrs Green from Marianna，Florida. She was my 5th grade teacher. Since I was a new student，not only in her class，but at the school，she made my time there much more pleasant. I immediately began to like her. She was really funny and I knew that she liked me. She made learning fun. I remember one day for Christmas holidays，she taught us how to make ornaments (装饰物) from eggs. My parents still have some of the ornaments I made.
She made me leader for many group projects and that made me feel special. I think that would make any child feel special，especially when a child is in a new place with no friends. She made me want to be like that. Not to pick a “favourite” student，but to make every student feel that they are special. That year，I received the Presidential Academic Award (美国总统学术奖). I was really proud and so were my parents.
Looking back at it，I think the reason why I did so well was that I felt important. Students do better when they feel like they are important or loved. Mrs Green always gets to know her students and forms personal relationships with them，which I will try to do some day. I just hope that there will be a student who finds me to their favourite teacher as I found her to be mine.
1．The author's life in the new school was very________.
A．happy B．common
C．hard D．boring
2．What can we learn from the second paragraph
A．The author was once received by the president.
B．The author was Mrs Green's favourite student.
C．The author was the pride of her parents.
D．The author always felt lonely in Mrs Green's class.
3．What will the author probably do in the future
A．Become a leader.
B．Become a teacher.
C．Become an artist.
D．Become the President.

What Does Wi Fi Stand for
Long gone are the days of dial up and waiting for your turn to use the computer.It's easier than ever to connect to the Internet in the digital world today.1.
Wi Fi is a wireless network that uses radio frequency signals to connect to the Internet or send messages between devices without wires.Everything from your phone and laptop to tablets and printers can use Wi Fi，thanks to these waves.2. Two years later，a group of companies formed the Wireless Ethernet Compatibility Alliance (WECA，now the Wi Fi Alliance)，a global non profit organization created to promote the new Wi Fi standard.
None of that history explains what Wi Fi stands for，because the phrase doesn't stand for anything.Wi Fi is a trademarked term describing the device or technology based on the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) wireless communication standard 802.11，according to the Wi Fi Alliance.3. So the Wi Fi Alliance hired the marketing company Interbrand to come up with a shorter name：Wi Fi，according to one of the founding Alliance members.
4． The rumor that it stands for “Wireless Fidelity (无线保真)” is thanks to the Alliance.Some members didn't understand the branding or marketing for Wi Fi.They felt consumers would want an explanation for the name.So the Alliance agreed to include a tagline：The Standard for Wireless Fidelity.That's why so many people assume Wi Fi stands for wireless fidelity，but the tagline came after the name.5. Don't add to the confusion and stop associating these phrases by learning the real meaning behind these acronyms (首字母缩略词).
A．That's a mouthful.
B．This is mostly thanks to Wi Fi.
C．The name caused a misconception about Wi Fi.
D．There is some debate surrounding the question what Wi Fi stands for.
E．In 1997，a committee of industry leaders approved a common Wi Fi standard.
F．Several years ago，a common standard of Wi Fi was set up by several companies.
G．Plus，the Alliance removed the tag，although the confusion it brought still lives on today.
四、短文改错
Nowadays，many middle school students are taking all kinds of after school class.There are two opinions about it.Some think that students can get good exam results and go to better schools if they took these classes.They also believe that students can avoid to watching too much TV or playing computer games by taking more after school classes.But other think students need more time to rest.If they take too much classes，they might feel stressed out.Besides，putting too much pressure on them can have the opposite effect.As for me，I don't think take extra classes is necessary.How we learn in class is enough.We can improve our efficient in class and learn to teach ourselves instead relying on extra lessons.

1.B　根据上文的“The Great Depression started in 1929 and lasted until about 1939. During that time, many people lost their...”可知，经济大萧条时期很多人失去“工作”。
2.C　根据语境可知，作者的父母也在失业大军“当中”。

4.B　根据下文的“after dinner”以及“kitchen”可知，作者晚饭后正在厨房洗“碗碟”。
5.D　根据下文的“A mailman saw him and asked him what was wrong.”可知，父亲脸色应该是“忧虑的”。
6.B　根据上下文对一家人生活状况的描述可知，父亲告诉邮递员他的食物票券已经“用完”了。
7.C　根据下文的“My dad said he needed $33 for the rent.”可知，这里指“房租”逾期。
8.B　根据上文的“He had tried to work as a laborer through the Works Progress Administration, but he...”可知，父亲尝试通过这个组织找苦力活，可是他“失败”了。
9.A　根据上文的“as a laborer”以及下文的“The work was too hard for him.”可知，因为父亲不是一个非常“强壮的”人。
10.A　根据下文的“... having seen newspaper pictures of people being... out of the apartments with all their belongings.”可知，作者想象自己一家也会像报纸上描写的一样被赶出来，所以很“害怕”那种情况的发生。
11.D　根据下文的“... out of the apartments with all their belongings.”可知，没钱付租金很可能就会被“赶”出住所。kick sb. out of a place意为“将某人赶出某地”。
12.A　根据语境可知，那位邮递员“温和地”问：“你需要多少钱？”
13.D　根据语境可知，那位邮递员毫不犹豫地从钱包里拿出50美元并将钱“递”给父亲。
14.D　根据下文邮递员所说的话可知，那位邮递员搂着父亲并“鼓励”他。

二、阅读理解
1.A　细节理解题。根据第一段的句子“Since I was a new student, not only in her class，but at the school，she made my time there much more pleasant.”可知，作者在新学校的生活很愉快，所以A项符合原文之意。选A项。
2.C　推理判断题。根据第二段的句子“I was really proud and so were my parents.”可以推断出作者是她父母的骄傲。C项是作者的言外之意，而A、B、D项的描述都不符合第二段原文的意思，更谈不上言外之意了。选C项。

三、七选五
1．B　根据第一段前两句可知，拨号上网的日子早已成为过去，和以往相比更容易连接网络，且空处下文紧接着介绍了Wi Fi的相关方面，由此可知，B项“这主要感谢Wi Fi”承上启下，符合语境。
2.E　根据空后一句可知，两年后，几个公司成立了无线以太网兼容性联盟，目的是推广新的Wi Fi标准。与新的标准相对应则是一般的、普通的标准，E项中的“a common Wi Fi standard”与空后的“new Wi Fi standard”对应，再结合常识和语境可知答案选E项。
3．A　根据前一句可知，根据Wi Fi联盟的说法，Wi Fi是一个商标术语，用来描述基于IEEE无线通信标准802.1l的设备或技术，下文表明Wi Fi联盟聘请了营销公司Interbrand为它起了一个短一点的名字：Wi Fi；由此可知，上文的那个名字又长又拗口。故A项符合语境。mouthful意为“又长又拗口的词(或短语)”。
4．D　根据下文中的“The rumor that”和“Some members didn't understand”可推知，人们对于Wi Fi是什么这个问题还有一些争议，故选D。
5．G　根据空后一句可知，作者建议不要混淆两者；空前两句又表述该联盟的标签带来了混淆。由此可知，G项“而且，虽然该联盟去除了这个标签，但它带来的困惑到现在仍然存在”符合语境。
四、短文改错
①第一句：class改为classes。考查名词的单复数。class是可数名词，根据该句中的“all kinds of”可知，这里表示各种各样的课外课程，应用名词复数。
②第三句：good改为better。考查比较级。根据and后的“go to better schools”可知，此处应用形容词比较级，表示取得更好的考试结果。
③第三句：took改为take。考查时态。根据语境可知，此处为一般性描述，应用一般现在时。
④第四句：删除avoid后的to。考查固定用法。此处考查固定用法avoid doing sth.“避免做某事”，故to多余，应删除。
⑤第五句：other改为others。考查代词。根据上文中的“Some think”可知，此处应用others，用于泛指“别人，其他人”。
⑥第六句：much改为many。考查限定词。被修饰词classes是可数名词复数，因此应用many修饰。
⑦第八句：take改为taking。考查非谓语动词。根据该句中的谓语动词is可知，此处应用动名词短语作主语，故把take改为taking。
⑧第九句：How改为What。考查名词性从句。分析句子结构可知，此处引导主语从句，引导词在从句中作及物动词learn的宾语，表示“……的事物”，故用What引导该从句。
⑨第十句：efficient改为efficiency。考查名词。根据其前的our可知，此处用名词形式。
⑩第十句：instead后加of。考查固定短语。instead of是介词短语，其后接名词、代词、动名词。
