My teacher held up a piece of broken glass and asked, “Who broke this window ”
Thirty boys tried to think about not only what they had done, but also what our teacher may have found out. She seldom became angry, but she was this time.
“Oh,” I thought. I was the one who broke the window. But I didn’t mean to do it. Actually, it was caused by a naughty throw of a baseball. If I admitted guilt, I would be in a lot of trouble. How would I be able to pay for a big window like that I didn’t even get pocket money. “My father is going to be extremely angry.” I thought. I didn’t want to raise my hand, but some force much stronger pulled it upward. I told the truth. “I did it.” It was hard enough to say what I had.
My teacher took down a book from one of our library shelves and I knew my teacher had never struck a student, but I feared she was going to start with me.
“I know how you like birds,” she said as she stood looking down at my guilty face. “Here is a field guide about birds. It is yours now. It’s time we got a new one for the school. You will not be punished as long as you remember that I am not rewarding you for your misdeed, I am rewarding you for your honesty.”
I couldn’t believe it! I wasn’t being punished and I was getting my own bird field guide — the very one that I had been saving money to buy.
What my teacher taught me that day is about a lesson, which remains in my heart every day, and I will appreciate it forever.
24. From the story, we can learn that the boy _____.
A. didn’t break the window on purpose B. lacked the strength to admit his guilt
C. tried to discover who broke the window D. knew what the teacher would find out
25. The boy thought the following would happen EXCEPT that________ if he admitted guilt.
A. He would be punished by the teacher B. He would make his father angry
C. He would pay for the broken window D. He would get a bird field guide
26. Which of the following best describes the changes in the boy’s feelings
A. Afraid — Surprised — Thankful. B. Frightened — Amazed — Proud.
C. Regretful — Guilty — Excited. D. Nervous — Afraid — Satisfied.
27. Which of the following is the best title of this text
A. Every coin has two sides. B. Honesty is the best policy.
C. Bad luck never comes alone. D. It’s never too late to be careful.
C
If you’ve ever had trouble getting your teens up in the morning or you’ve seen your teens fall asleep during the school day, you’re not alone. Many teens have difficulty in waking up early for school, and that’s because they sleep late at night.
The American Academy of Pediatrics’ Adolescent Sleep Working Group made studies about sleep in teens. Researchers studied the possible harmful effects of not getting enough sleep on young people. They discovered not getting enough sleep may cause poor grades at school. Not getting enough sleep has also been connected to a higher risk of car accidents in teens.
It may seem as though the way to solve the problem for teens would be to go to sleep earlier. But researchers say that isn’t likely to work. Teens experience physical changes that make falling asleep earlier difficult. Their biological clocks just won't allow them to fall asleep at 8 p.m., even when they’re tired.
Studies have shown that just delaying(推迟)school by 30 minutes can have a great effect on a teen's health and performance. So most researchers suggest the school start time be delayed until at least 8:30 a.m. for teenagers.
Some of the benefits could include:
—Teens may be more likely to get the necessary amount of sleep.
—The delayed start time could help teens sleep during their natural sleep.
—Teens may be less likely to depend on coffee to stay awake during the day.
—Enough sleep could help teens study better in class, which could help them do better in exams.
—Sleeping longer could reduce health problems caused by a lack of sleep in the long run.
—Getting home later in the afternoon may reduce the amount of time when some teens are home alone, and could reduce the possibility that teens will take part in unhealthy activities.
But doing that can also cause some problems.
28. What does Paragraph 1 show
A. Many teens find school too boring. B. Many teens fail to get enough sleep.
C. Today’s teens have many difficulties. D. Today’s teens are too lazy to get up early.
29. What do researchers of the Adolescent Sleep Working Group find
A. Today’s teens have poor grades at school.
B. Teens should get at least 8.5 hours of sleep daily.
C. Today’s teens are in danger because of car accidents.
D. Teens can badly affected by not getting enough sleep.
30. Why can’t teens fall asleep earlier
A. Because their homework is too much.
B. Because they love staying up late at night.
C. Because their physical changes make it hard.
D. Because they have unbalanced biological clocks.
31. What would the text most probably talk about next
A. The disadvantages of starting school later.
B. The benefits of getting enough sleep for students.
C. The way of helping students get enough sleep.
D. The advantages of putting off the school start time.
D
Starbucks recently made plans to build nearly 3, 000 new stores in China over the next five years. That almost doubles the number of stores here now. The company just opened its largest stores in Shanghai, China, which often has a long line of people waiting. It is opening a new store in China every 15 hours, and it now has plenty of competition. That marks an important change in the tastes and buying power of the growing market.
It’s no secret there’s a lot of tea in China. But coffee, not tea, is increasingly becoming the choice for China’s rapidly growing middle class.
Starbucks keeps opening hundreds of new stores here mainly because of China’s young people who are accepting coffeehouse culture. “You have a very young population that has got in touch with Western cultures easily,” Dave Seminsky said. He owns Sumerian Coffee in Shanghai.
There’s still a lot of room for the bean business here to grow. The ordinary person in China drinks just 3 cups of coffee every year, while the ordinary person in the U.K. drinks 250 cups and in the U.S., the number is 363. But that need and the influence of climate change on the world’s supply could lead to fewer beans and higher prices.
In the next 30 years, China could be bringing two to three million tons of coffee into the nation and the world’s supply of coffee now is 6.9 million tons. If coffee really does take off here, is there enough supply Luckily, there’s still all that tea in China.
32. Why are China’s young people fond of drinking coffee
A. They can afford Western products.
B. They want to look more international.
C. Their taste gradually changes as they grow up.
D. They grow up influenced by Western cultures.
33. What is a cause of the world’s coffee supply going down
A. Competition in the coffee market. B. Changes in natural conditions.
C. More new drinks coming out. D. Terrible taste of coffee beans.
34. What may be the problem for the coffee market in China in the future
A. The supply of coffee cannot meet people’s needs.
B. Tea will be the main drink for the Chinese.
C. Coffee beans cannot be grown in China.
D. Fewer companies will offer coffee.
35. The phrase “take off” in the last paragraph means ________.
A. leave the ground and begin to fly B. become popular
C. go away in a hurry D. remove clothing from the body

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。
You don't have to travel far away to write a travel journal. You can begin your writing with a family holiday or a weekend trip. All you need is a destination or a place of departure(出发).
36 Your travel journal can begin before your trip has started. Your journal is helpful for you to plan the things you want to do. It can be a cool restaurant where you want to eat, a hike you want to go on or different sights you want to see.
Write about what you imagine it will be. Sometimes when you travel, your destination is quite different from what you expected. Maybe you expected the local food to be bad but it turned out to be delicious. 37 Maybe you thought you would not be comfortable with the climate while you adapted to it. Whatever, try to write it down before you arrive. It will be interesting to compare these predictions to what you have actually experienced.
38 It is always easier to remember things when they are fresh in your brain, but it may be forgotten with time going by. So try to write as much as you can during travelling every day if you can. Your journals don't have to be long, but letting them express your feelings is the most important.
Add pictures to your journal. 39 Combining pictures with your first-hand accounts of what they represented, or what happened when they were taken, will make for a better travel journal.
Write about your trip after you leave. It is important to reflect(反思) on your travels, so you can have a new understanding. 40
A. Ask a parent for help.
B. Travel journal is necessary for your trip plan.
C. Write as much as you can during your trip.
D. Use your journal to plan your trip properly.
E. Maybe you imagined the town to be smaller than it actually is.
F. Even though your journal is meant for writing, pictures are still worth a thousand words.
G.This is also a great way to learn about your-self and other people who you have travelled with.

书面表达：
Dear schoolmates,
Nowadays, many students don’t do sports for kinds of reasons. They think that it is a waste of time and that they may get injured in the process.
In my opinion, it is of great necessity to take part in sports activities. First, by doing sports during the intervals, like playing football or Ping-Pong, we can get refreshed after concentrating for so long. Therefore, when we go back to class, our study can probably be more efficient. Second, doing sports is beneficial to our health and make us less likely to fall ill. Third, doing sports can help us form new hobbies, such as swimming, making our life more colorful.
Since we can benefit so much from doing sports, I strongly recommend that we set aside some time for it every day. (119).
Yours sincerely,
Li Hua

W: If you’ve been on campus for a while, then you probably already have heard about this course. Since this is a composition class, I expect my students follow certain rules. For example, I take off points if there is a kind of mistake. A misspelled word will cost two points. If you write an incomplete sentence, you’ll lose five points. This class meets on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. You will have a total of three major tests throughout the semester. Your final grade will be the average of these major tests. If you have any questions, you can see me on Tuesdays. The task for Wednesday is to read Mark Twain’s short story on page 28. Friday will be the last day of class each week. So you can expect to write a short essay during class time. That’s all for today. I hope to see you on Wednesday.
