Happiness is for everyone, and you don’t need to care about those people who have beautiful houses with 35 and swimming pools or those who have nice cars 36 a lot of money and so on. Why Because those who have big houses may often 37 lonely and those who have cars may want to walk on the country roads in their free time.
In fact, happiness is always around you if you put your heart into it. When you are in 38 at school, your friends will help you; when you study at your lessons, your parents are always 39 good care of your life and your health; when you get 40 , your friends will say congratulations to you; when you do something wrong, people around you will help you to 41 it. And when you do something good to others, you will feel 42 , too. All these are your happiness. If you notice those things, you can see that happiness is always 43 you.
Happiness is not the same as money. It is a feeling of your heart. When you are 44 , you can also say you are very happy because you have something else that can’t be bought with money. When you meet difficulties, you can say loudly you are very happy because you have more chances to 45 yourself. So you cannot always say you are poor or you have bad luck. As the saying goes: Life is like a revolving(转动的)door. When it 46 , it also opens. If you take every chance you get, you can be a happy and lucky person.
( )35. A. trees B. flowers C. gardens D. cars
( )36. A. and B. with C. but D. for
( )37. A. be B. feel C. seem D. live
( )38. A. wrong B. trouble C. problem D. danger
( )39. A. making B. talking C. feeling D. taking
( )40. A. regret B. trouble C. decision D. success
( )41. A. correct B. forget C. change D. know
( )42. A. lonely B. sorry C. happy D. beautiful
( )43. A. before B. around C. follow D. for
( )44. A. poor B. lucky C. healthy D. angry

Ronaldo Luiz Nazario de Lima was born on 22 September 1976 in a poor suburb of Rio de Janeiro. Like most of his childhood friends, Ronaldo began his soccer career playing barefoot in the streets of his neighborhood. At the age of 14, he joined S Cristovo soccer club and only two years later became the star of Cruzeiro Belo Horizonte scoring a total of 58 goals in 60 matches and earning himself a reputation for his explosive pace and outstanding finishing skills. His goal-scoring record and unusual agility led him to be included in the Brazilian World Cup winning team the following year. After the World Cup, many top European football clubs were trying to sign him. Many people, including Brazilian football legend Pelé, referred to him as the most promising footballer of his generation.
Since his transfer to Dutch team PSV Eindhoven, Ronaldo’s biography is one of success after success. Two Copa América s, a UEFA Cup, a Dutch Cup, a Spanish League Cup, and two awards as best player in the world, all in the space of two years, are some of Ronaldo’s impressive achievements. On arrival to Inter-Milan in 1997, Ronaldo became the idol of the local fans who refer to him as “il Fenomeno.”
Since the 98 World Cup he has suffered two serious knee injuries that have severely limited his appearances. Just when people began to wonder whether Ronaldo would be able to continue with his football career, he proved to the world that he still could play. In the World Cup held in Korea and Japan, the magical striker won the Golden Shoe award and tied Pelé's Brazilian record for career World Cup goals with 12. He helped Brazil capture its fifth World Cup championship on June 30 with a 2-0 win over Germany. It was the third time that Ronaldo has ever played in the World Cup.
( )53. We can infer from the passage that Ronaldo _________.
A．comes from a rich family
B．began to play soccer at the age of 15
C．won a total of 58 goals when he was 20 years old
D．became a star of Cruzeriro Belo Horizonte in 1992
( )54. Why did so many top European football clubs try to sign Ronaldo
A. Because he had played in the World Cup.
B. Because he often played in very important matches.
C. Because he was the most promising footballer of his generation.
D. Because he could play hard though he suffered two serious knee injuries.
( )55. From the passage we can infer that Ronaldo took part in ________big international soccer matches in all.

A Lesson from the Elder
Grandfather was an elder Cherokee Native American who had a wrinkled, nut brown face and kind dark eyes. His grandson often came in the evening to sit on his knee and asked the many questions that children would ask.
One day the grandson came to his grandfather with a look of anger on his face and the following story. “Father and I went to the store today and because I helped him, he bought me a present---a jack-knife. I went outside to wait for father and to admire my new knife in the sunlight. Some town boys came by and saw me. They surrounded me and started saying bad things. They called me dirty and stupid and said that I should not have such a fine knife. The largest of these boys pushed me back and I fell over one of the other boys. I dropped my knife and one of them picked it up and they all ran away laughing. I hate them. I hate them all."
The elder Cherokee, with eyes that had seen too much, lifted his grandson's face so his eyes looked into the boy's face. Grandfather said, "Let me tell you a story. I, too, at times, have felt a great hate for those who have taken so much with no sorrow for what they do. But hate wears you down and does not hurt your enemy. It is like drinking poison and wishing your enemy would die. I have struggled with these feelings many times. It is as if two wolves are inside me.... It is a terrible fight.
One wolf is good and does no harm. He lives in harmony with all around him and does not take offense when no offense was intended. It will only fight when it is right to do so and in the right way. This wolf stands for joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, modesty, kindness, friendship, sympathy, generosity, truth, and faith.
The other wolf is full of anger. The least thing will set off his fiercest temper. He fights everyone, all the time, for no reason. He cannot think because his anger and hate are so much. It is helpless anger, for his anger will change nothing. This wolf represents fear, envy, greed, self-pity, guilt, lies, false pride and superiority.
Sometimes, it is hard to live with these two wolves inside me for both of them try to control my spirit. This same fight is going on inside you and inside every other person too.”
The boy looked into his grandfather's eyes and asked, "Which wolf will win " The old Cherokee simply replied.... "The one you feed."
( )56. The boy was angry because __________.
A. he was not satisfied with his present
his back was badly injured in a fight
he had waited for his father for too long
his jack-knife had been taken away by some boys
( )57. How does the good wolf do things in the story
A. He never fights against others.
B. He tries to get on well with others.
C. It is hard for him to live with other wolves.
D. Sometimes he had a terrible fight because some one hit him.
( )58. We can learn from the third paragraph that _________.
“hate” is healthy
“hate” hurts oneself
“hate” is complicated
“hate” harms one’s enemies
( )59. What did Grandfather mean by saying "The one you feed" in the last paragraph
We should feed the two wolves equally.
Living in harmony with others is important.
Our feelings should be expressed at the right time.
The choices we make determine who we will become.

八、阅读短文，根据其内容回答下面的问题。（共10分，每小题2分）
Lights, cameras, action! It’s movie night with your friends. And you’re looking for something to snack on during the movie. What better snack to choose than popcorn In American culture, popcorn and movies are closely tied together. It is one of the most popular snacks offered at a movie theater. Popcorn is a popular treat made out of corn kernels that have been ‘popped’ by heat. Often times, the popped corn is covered with melted butter and salt to give the snack more flavor.
Popcorn has a history that goes back about 5,000 years ago to the American Indians. Corn was a major part of their diet, so they had many different ways of preparing it. They made popcorn by tossing prepared corn kernels onto a bed of hot stones over a fire. As the popcorn shot out in various directions, people made a game to see who could catch the most popcorn. Naturally, the prize was being able to enjoy this delicious snack. In fact, people loved the snack so much that they began to serve it with cream and sugar for breakfast.
In the late 19th century, popcorn carts began appearing on almost every American street corner. These carts were big hits at fairs, carnivals, and expositions. Later on, home version of popcorn poppers became available, and the snack became even more popular. Not to mention, this was also around the time when popcorn was introduced to the movie theaters.
One of the biggest innovations for popcorn was microwaveable popcorn. For people who did not want to go through the trouble of making popcorn at home, microwaveable popcorn was nice alternative. Today, there are many variations for eating popcorn. There’s the classic buttered popcorn, the sweet alternative of caramel corn (where the popcorn is covered in a light coat of molasses), and others such as cheesy popcorn (popcorn covered in a layer of cheese dust).
64. Where do people often eat popcorn in America

Studies and Sports
As we all know, sports are very important in our life. Sports not only help build up our muscles, but also help us do well in our lessons. Although I am busy with my lessons, I can still have time to do my favorite sports. I usually play basketball with my friends for twenty minutes after school and go swimming on Saturday afternoon. Of course we do morning exercise during the break at school, but it is not enough. I think we should practice running in the morning or after school. It doesn’t take much time. Ten minutes will be enough and you’ll study in high spirit. Try it and it’ll make you happy and healthy.

Now machines are widely used all over the world. Why are machines so important and necessary for us Because they can help us do things better and faster. A washing machine helps us to wash clothes quickly. A printing machine helps us to print a lot of books, newspapers, magazines and many other things quickly. Bikes, cars, trains and planes are all machines. They help us to travel faster than on foot. The computer is a wonderful machine. It was invented not long ago. It not only stores information, but also stores numbers millions of times as fast as a scientist does.
Let’s study hard and try to use all kinds of machines to build China into a modern country.
