66．Dear Tom,
Knowing that you are anxious about high school life, I feel sorry for you. But it is something every teenager will go through. Here I am writing to give you some advice on how to get used to your new life.
It always comes first to manage your time wisely, which helps to balance your study and life. Making some new friends as soon as possible is also helpful. For example, to make friends you could try to smile at everyone you meet. Last but not least, why not do more exercise In this way you can free yourself from the study pressure.
I hope you will benefit from my advice, and wish you will adapt to high school life soon.
Yours,
Li Hua
67．When Teachers’ Day came around, Tom had a plan. It was the tradition of the school to have a concert for the teachers. Every class had to contribute an item. Tom convinced the class to let Bruce perform. Short of ideas, the class agreed. On the day of the concert, all the teachers and students were surprised to see the school’s most awkward student walking on stage with a violin. Some of the students started to talk about all the funny things Bruce did.
When Bruce started to play, the audience fell silent. Their jaws dropped open. As the last note ended, there was a moment of silence. Then the audience responded with thunderous applause. Bruce became a popular icon and had many fans in his final year of school. Today, Bruce and Tom are still best friends. Bruce is on a scholarship pursuing music in Austria. Some days he still comes to class wearing an inside-out shirt or a pair of mismatched shoes.

Students can sign up for as many classes as they like, but they must pass the skill level test. For example, students who sign up for Level 4 must show their certificate for completing Level 3. Children cannot sign up for a level they are not ready for. Children who have never attended Community Pool classes must show up on April 29th or 30th for a swim skill show. Instructors will rate the students and assign them to a particular skill level.

Americans often try to say things as quickly as possible. So, for some expressions, we use the first letters of the words instead of saving each word. Many common expressions or long names are shortened this way.
B-Y-O-B is a short way of saying, “Bring Your Own Bottle.” The letters BYOB are often found at the bottom of a written invitation to a simple social, event or gathering of friends. For example, let’s say I had a New Year’s Eve party. I might include on the invitation. “Please come to my party and BYOB．” The bottle each person brings is what the person wants to drink at the party or wants to share.
However, an invitation to a special event -such as a wedding-would never say BYOB．An invitation to an official or very special event often has other letters written at the bottom. The letters are R-S-V-P. These letters represent the French expression “Repondez S'il Vous Plait.” In English the words mean “Respond If It Pleases You.” Americans use the letters as a short way to say, “Please answer this invitation.”
Another expression usually used for business and not parties is A-S-A-P. So, a colleague might say she needs something done ASAP. It means as soon as possible. She might also need something done by C-O-B．That means she wants to finish it by “Close Of Business” or the end of the work day.
Beginning letters are often used to represent the names of universities. A famous one is MIT. That is short for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. Another major university is UCLA．Almost no one ever says its real name, the University of California at Los Angeles. That takes way too long!
24．Why do Americans like using the first letters of the words
A．They want to save time. B．They think it interesting.
C．They like doing things differently. D．They love creating new expressions.
25．Which of the following may a couple use in their wedding invitations
A．B-Y-O-B． B．B．R-S-V-P. C．A-S-A-P. D．C-O-B．
26．How is the text mainly developed
A．By analyzing causes. B．By listing examples.
C．By following time order. D．By making comparisons.
27．What is the main purpose of this text
A．To describe the unpopularity of the formal language.
B．To explain the usage of some daily expressions.
C．To advise people to speak more simple English.
D．To introduce one of the Americans’ language habits.
C
Every day in the morning I make different sounds, starting with an “oomph” as I move to an upright position, then an “ahhh” as I swing my legs off the bed, followed by an “arrrrrrrgh” as I get to my feet. Then there’s an “oh God” as I realize that my knees are unequal to the task they’ve been set.
My wife Jocasta believes in positive thinking. “All sighing and complaining will simply make you feel worse,” she says. “If you act like a young gazelle (羚羊), then you’ll feel like a young gazelle. “I’m guessing Jocasta doesn’t know many young gazelles, at least not ones with aching knees and tired ankles. I then decide to follow her instructions, but to the power of ten.
I draw the curtains open, allowing sunlight to flood the room. “What a beautiful morning!” I say in a too-cheerful voice. “I’m planning a pot of Sri Lanka’s finest tea for you. It is picked on the cool slopes of the country’s mountainous central district and will be served with milk given by a diligent young cow.”
“Oh, God! Can you give it a rest ” says Jocasta. “Sure, your knee aches, but you can still get around. Pull your shoulders back, lift your head high, and highlight the positive. The science about positivity is that the body responds to signals sent by your brain. When you spend 23 hours a day sounding like a miserable old man, you’ll turn into a miserable old man.”
I take a sip of tea before raising another case. “Yes,” I say, “but the research published in the Scandinavian Journal of Pain shows that people can bear pain if allowed to swear. So,” I continue, “when I limp off to work, yelling ‘Oh God, my knee’, I’m just acting on the latest science.” This is replied with Jocasta’s dark looks. “I’m not anti-swearing; I’m just anti-complaining.”
There’s enough tea in the pot for a second cup. It is somehow more delicious for the way I imagine out loud where it is picked and how the milk is produced. The sunlight streaming in, I find myself humming a happy tune when a “horrific” thought hits me—Jocasta seems to have made it!
28．Why does the author make various sounds when getting up
A．To grab his wife’s attention. B．To express his dissatisfaction.
C．To complain of his discomfort. D．To get himself totally refreshed.
29．What can we learn about the man from paragraph 3
A．He has been to Sri Lanka. B．He is expert at making tea.
C．He unwillingly follows his wife’s advice. D．He agrees with his wife’s way of thinking.
30．What is the science about positivity according to the wife
A．Swearing to relieve the pain. B．Behaving like young gazelles.
C．Following signals sent by the brain. D．Focusing on the positive part of life.
31．What does the man try to convey in the last paragraph
A．He shouldn’t hum a tune. B．His wife has been proved right.
C．What the journal says is wrong. D．He can’t bear the pain any more.
D
I grew up with a four-year gap between myself and my younger brother. It was a distance (距离) in age to keep us close as we got older, but also an age gap to make sure we lived our own lives in completely different ways. Having a younger brother while I was a girl was a lot of work, for there was a lot of fighting.
However, as we’ve got older, we’ve become closer, and I’ve learned several things in life from my younger brother that I didn’t realize I needed before.
My younger brother is one of the most talented and creative souls (灵魂) I’ve known. He’s continually feeding his creativity with new art forms and new instruments. He always seeks to understand and learn more about the world around him. He’s helped remind me through his actions and words that giving up on creativity is something a person should never do.
My younger brother has also been through hard times, but he’s able to focus on learning from the hard times, unlike me, who tends to hold on to every little thing from my life. It’s always been difficult for me to let things go and move on, but my younger brother has been an inspiration (灵感来源) for me to try harder at letting go.
My younger brother has always been a more introverted type, and if you speak to him, you’re lucky to get over three words out of him at a time. Because of this, he’s certainly learned the whole “actions speak louder than words” thing. But, I’ve realized from my brother that I needn’t speak to fill the silence. Sometimes, it’s necessary to spend some of your time in silence and reflect in it.
32．What does the author think of growing up as the older sister
A．Boring but warm. B．Peaceful and easy.
C．Troubling but inspiring. D．Enjoyable and exciting.
33．What do the author’s little brother’s actions suggest to her
A．Trying to learn new instruments.
B．Focusing on little details of everything.
C．Moving on with the past kept in mind.
D．Keeping feeding her creativity.
34．What might the introverted people be like according to paragraph 5
A．They are talented. B．They are quiet.
C．They are positive. D．They are friendly.
35．What is the main idea of the text
A．It talks about the relationship between his brother and the author.
B．It introduces the great spirits of the author’s brother.
C．It is about lessons learned from the author’s brother.
D．Tell some advice provided by the author’s brother.

Best Language Learning Methods
Are you struggling(斗争)to pick up a foreign language Or probably looking for language learning methods 36 Read on to find the best way that can help you with language learning!
Learn a language by using the 80/20 Rule. What is the 80/20 Rule It is a rule that suggests 20 percent of your efforts will bring about 80 percent of your results. Or 80% of our efforts get only 20% of the results. 37 It can help you know the most important and high result-oriented(高导向的)activities in your life while quitting the unnecessary, low result-oriented activities. It will also free up more time for language learning.
Break down your learning materials into smaller pieces. If you have enough time to learn your new language, you should make good use of it. 38 For example, there are ten short stories of 100 words each and a story of 1000 words. Which would be easier to memorize Of course, it’s number one, if you guess correctly.
39 Most people master a new language by translating. It is one of the causes of failure in learning a second language. Instead of translating everything you listen to, think in the language you’re learning. You’ll discover your most important words, expressions, and sentences quickly if you continually think about them.
Don’t forget listening and speaking. Learning a new language includes listening, speaking, reading, and writing. 40 However, people usually struggle most with listening and speaking. Keep in mind we learn a language just for practical use. So do master these two skills!
A．It is very simple but useful.
B．These skills are all very important.
C．Start by translating when you study.
D．Learn to think in the foreign language.
E．In fact, short reading materials are easy to get.
F．What is the most effective way to learn it well
G．Try dividing the learning materials into smaller parts.

67．阅读下面材料，根据其内容和所给段落开头语续写两段，使之构成一篇完整的短文。
The whole class burst out laughing as Bruce rushed into the classroom. He was a strange sight. His half-buttoned white shirt revealed a red pajama top(睡衣上衣) underneath and instead of white school shoes, he had on a pair of bright green shoes that were two sizes too big.
Bruce said quietly, “Sorry teacher”and walked to his seat. Mr. Tan looked at the rest of the students. The laughter quickly turned to silence. Bruce’s classmates always looked forward to Mondays. Nine times out often, they would be entertained by Bruce’s late arrival and his odd appearance which usually included inappropriate clothing.
Bruce lived just a street away from the school. He walked to school daily. Students passing by in buses would shout his name together just to see him jump and stop in his tracks. When he spotted the merry bunch in the bus, he would wave good-naturedly. Although Bruce was likable, he was too lost in his own thoughts to make friends. His classmates found him amusing but they ignored him most of the time. Only Tom, who sat next to Bruce, tried to be his friend.
The following Monday, Bruce did not turn up at school. His classmates were a little disappointed but quickly forgot about him. After school, Tom decided to walkover to Bruce’s house to check on him. As he approached the gate, he could hear violin music. Bruce must be listening to music, he thought. The gate was not locked. Tom let himself in. He called Bruce’s name a few times but there was no response. The music played on. Tom looked in through a window. His eyes widened in surprise. In the middle of the living room, Bruce was playing the violin. His eyes were closed in concentration as he drew the bow (琴弓) over the strings expertly. He played beautifully, so much so that it sounded like a recording. Tom left quietly.
注意：1.续写词数应为150左右;
2.请按如下格式在答题卡的相应位置作答。
When Teachers’ Day came around, Tom had a plan.
