What a weekend! This Saturday, Sept. 25, hundreds of U.S. museums are admission free for the Smithsonian’s yearly Museum Day.
Unlike previous Museum Day celebrations, you must sign up for a free ticket that admits two people to any of the participating museums.

If your kids love to read — and we hope they do! — be sure to sign them up for Barnes & Noble’s summer reading programs so they can earn a free book!
It’s easy for kids ages 12 and under to participate. For Barnes & Noble’s Passport to Summer Reading program, just download and print out your passport. Read any eight books, make a list of them on the back of the passport and bring it to any Barnes & Noble by September 7. Choose your free book from the list.

While the kickoff date is October 15, many of the theaters start releasing their free tickets by Oct.1 or in waves during the month of October for performance dates throughout the month. Ticket seekers are limited to two tickets for one performance.

Each time I see a balloon(气球), my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.
59．What would be the best title for the passage?
A．An unforgettable experience B． A great father
C．Fly to paradise D． The strong red balloon
60.When the girl asked her mother if they could write to her father, her mother _________.
A．believed it easy to do so B．thought her a creative girl
C felt it hard to answer D．found it easy to lie
61．When the girl was told that she could send a letter to her father, she _________.
A．jumped with joy B．became excited
C．started writing immediately D. was worried that it couldn't be delivered
62．In the eyes of the author, what was the rain like?
A．An incurable disease. B．An unforgettable memory.
C. The failures her father experienced D． The hard time her father had.
C
If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives－the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do－as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read－sports and international news，etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen of sound in the air. And as for the Internet，it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
63．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news. B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news. D．What you are interested in.
64．From the text，we can infer that________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B. some media will die out
C．television will take the place of newspapers
D. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
65．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means________.
A． compete with B．depend on C．fight with D．kill of
66．What is the best title for the text?
A．The Best Way to Get News B. The Future of Newspapers
C．Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Changes of Media
D
For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then, from across the street, someone came walking at a slow pace.
It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking: at most a soft, sliding sound. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses, and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly, but clearly enough the wrinkled skin of a woman’s small face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house.
She put a key into the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then close the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.
She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, and then went up the stairs, quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing. She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom band basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small wash-room, that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.
67. The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that _______.
A. a woman was walking by herself up the street
B. a man was walking up the street
C. a man was driving by himself up the street
D. a woman was driving the car
68. When she got into the house, the woman ______.
A. went upstairs at once B. seemed tired
C. started breathing again D. felt excited
69. What the woman was looking for was _______.
A. furniture B. a bathroom-basin C. a room D. a child
70. From the description above we can see that the woman was _______.
A. old and earnest B. energetic and cold
C. young and powerful D. weak and hopeless
第II卷 （共35分）
第一节 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。每空格1个单词。
If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses, would this make you feel good? The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or another—and some of us do it pretty often. It's a sure-fire recipe for a drop in self-confidence and for unhappiness. So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others? Here are some tips I've found useful.
Awareness.
Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we're doing it. It's a natural act, I suppose. So the solution is to become aware. If you focus on these thoughts for a few days, it will become much easier with practice, and soon it'll be hard not to notice.
Stop yourself.
Once you realize you're making these comparisons, stop yourself. Don't feel bad—just admit the thought, and gently change the focus.
Count your blessings.
Focus on what you do have, and on what you are already blessed with. Count what you have, not what you don't have. Think about how lucky you are to have what you have, to have the people in your life who care about you. If you always want what others have, you will never have enough. You will always want more. That's an endless cycle, and it will never lead to happiness. Instead, learn to realize that what you have is already enough.
Focus on your strengths.
Instead of looking at your weaknesses, ask yourself what your strengths are. Be proud of them. Work on using them to your best advantage.
No one is perfect—we all know that. But we seem to feel bad when we don't reach perfection. You aren't perfect and you never will be. Keep trying to improve, but don't think you'll ever be the "perfect person". If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are, you are already perfect.
Title: Tips ____71____ real perfection and happiness
____72____
It is unwise to compare others’ ____73____ with your disadvantages, for it may ____74____ in a decrease in confidence and happiness.
Detailed suggestions
Awareness.
Be ____75____ of the comparisons you are doing.
Stop yourself.
Admit the thought and ____76____ change the focus.
Count your blessings.
Focus on your ____77____ and your born advantages ____78____ than what others have.
Focus on your strengths.
Be proud of your strengths and make the ____79____ of them.
____80____
It is imperfection that makes you who you are and keep trying to improve.
第三节 书面表达（共1小题，满分25分）
A car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can keep your body strong, so you should take care of what you eat.
There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy products group has food like milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all the four main groups. With all these food together you will be given enough energy during the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired during these days and you can not think quickly.
Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.

写作
We are what we eat. What we eat depends on main food groups. When we have got enough energy from all the food together, we can keep fit. A good eating habit with some exercise is good for health.
However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. We need to develop good eating habits that will keep our lifetimes. Besides, we’d better have meals regularly. Mealtime is the ideal opportunity to set an example by creating a positive atmosphere in which healthy food attitudes can be developed. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.

What touched me too was that other people in the 51 close to me had seen what I did and 52 it was a nice thing to do. I hope I inspired in them the idea to do 53 things for others.

Each time I see a balloon(气球), my mind flies back to a memory of when I was a six-year-old girl. It was a rainy Sunday and my father had recently died. I asked my mom if Dad had gone to heaven. "Yes, honey. Of course." she said.
"Can we write him a letter?"
She paused, the longest pause of my short life, and answered, "Yes."
My heart jumped. "How? Does the mailman go there?" I asked.
"No, but I have an idea." Mom drove to a party store and returned with a red balloon. I asked her what it was for.
"Just wait, honey. You'll see." Mom told me to write my letter. Eagerly, I got my favorite pen, and poured out my six-year-old heart in the form of blue ink. I wrote about my day, what I learned at school, how Mom was doing, and even about what happened in a story I had read. For a few minutes it was as if Dad were still alive. I gave the letter to Mom. She read it over, and a smile crossed her face.
She made a hole in the corner of the letter where she looped the balloon string. We went outside and she gave me the balloon. It was still raining.
"Okay, on the count of three, let go. One, two, three."
The balloon, carrying my letter, darted upward against the rain. We watched until it was swallowed by the mass of clouds.
Later I realized, like the balloon, that Dad had never let his sickness get him down. He was strong. No matter what he suffered, he'd persevere, dart up, and finally transcend this cold world and his sick body. He rose into sky and became something beautiful. I watched until the balloon disappeared into the gray and white and I prayed that his strength was hereditary. I prayed to be a balloon.

A．An unforgettable experience B． A great father

If there is one thing I am sure about, it is that in a hundred years from now we will still be reading newspapers. It is not that newspapers are a necessity. Even now some people get most of their news from television or radio. Many buy a paper only on Saturday or Sunday. But for most people reading a newspaper has become a habit passed down from generation to generation.
The nature of what is news may change. What basically makes news is what affects our lives－the big political stories，the coverage of the wars，earthquakes and other disasters，will continue much the same.I think there will be more coverage of scientific research, though.It's already happening in areas that may directly affect our lives, like genetic(基因)engineering. In the future，I think there will be more coverage of scientific explanations of why we feel as we do－as we develop a better understanding of how the brain operates and what our feelings really are.
It's quite possible that in the next century newspapers will be transmitted(传送)electronically from Fleet Street and printed out in our own home. In fact, I am pretty sure that it will happen in the future. You will probably be able to choose from a menu，making up your own newspaper by picking out the things you want to read－sports and international news，etc.
I think people have got it wrong when they talk about competition between the different media(媒体)．They actually feed off each other. Some people once foresaw that television would kill off newspapers，but that hasn't happened. What is read on the printed page lasts longer than pictures on a screen of sound in the air. And as for the Internet，it is never really pleasant to read something just on a screen.
63．What will probably be on in the newspaper made by yourself?
A．Sports and international news. B．A menu of important news.
C．The most important news. D．What you are interested in.
64．From the text，we can infer that________.
A．newspapers will win the competition among the different media
B. some media will die out
C．television will take the place of newspapers
D. newspapers will stay with us together with other media
65．The underlined phrase “feed off” in the last paragraph means________.
A． compete with B．depend on C．fight with D．kill of
66．What is the best title for the text?
A．The Best Way to Get News B. The Future of Newspapers
C．Make Your Own Newspaper D. The Changes of Media
D
For some minutes, all was quiet in the street. Then, from across the street, someone came walking at a slow pace.
It looked like a man of middle height, dressed in a big raincoat, a soft hat and rubber soled boots or shoes, and making little sound while walking: at most a soft, sliding sound. No one was in sight. It was a street with two rows of about fifty small houses, and there were three lamps on either side. The lamp nearest the child’s house could be seen clearly, but the others were almost hidden by the smoky air. A car passed the end of the street and its lights showed faintly, but clearly enough the wrinkled skin of a woman’s small face. The car disappeared as the woman, wrapped up in her coat, reached the doorway of the child’s house.
She put a key into the lock quickly, pushed the door open and stepped inside, then close the door without looking round. She began to breathe hard.
She leaned against the door for a moment, then straightened up as if with an effort, and walked towards the door of the front room, the passage leading to the kitchen, and the narrow staircase. She hesitated outside the door, and then went up the stairs, quickly but with hardly a sound. There was enough light from the narrow hall to show the four doors leading off a small landing. She pushed each door open in turn and shone a torch inside, and the light fell upon beds, walls, furniture, a bathroom band basin, a mirror which flashed brightness back; but this was not what the woman was looking for. She turned away and went downstairs and hesitated again at the foot of the stairs, then turned towards the kitchen. Clearly there was nothing there, or in the small wash-room, that she wanted. Two rooms remained; the front room and a smaller one next to it. She opened the front room door. After a moment, she saw the child’s bed and the child.
67. The lights of the car passing the end of the street showed that _______.
A. a woman was walking by herself up the street
B. a man was walking up the street
C. a man was driving by himself up the street
D. a woman was driving the car
68. When she got into the house, the woman ______.
A. went upstairs at once B. seemed tired
C. started breathing again D. felt excited
69. What the woman was looking for was _______.
A. furniture B. a bathroom-basin C. a room D. a child
70. From the description above we can see that the woman was _______.
A. old and earnest B. energetic and cold
C. young and powerful D. weak and hopeless

第一节 任务型阅读（共10小题，每小题1分，满分10分）
请认真阅读下列短文，在文章后表格中的空格里填入最恰当的单词。每空格1个单词。
If you took the strengths of others and compared them to your weaknesses, would this make you feel good? The funny thing is that this is what most of us do at one time or another—and some of us do it pretty often. It's a sure-fire recipe for a drop in self-confidence and for unhappiness. So how can we stop comparing ourselves with others? Here are some tips I've found useful.
Awareness.
Most often we do these social comparisons without realizing we're doing it. It's a natural act, I suppose. So the solution is to become aware. If you focus on these thoughts for a few days, it will become much easier with practice, and soon it'll be hard not to notice.
Stop yourself.
Once you realize you're making these comparisons, stop yourself. Don't feel bad—just admit the thought, and gently change the focus.
Count your blessings.
Focus on what you do have, and on what you are already blessed with. Count what you have, not what you don't have. Think about how lucky you are to have what you have, to have the people in your life who care about you. If you always want what others have, you will never have enough. You will always want more. That's an endless cycle, and it will never lead to happiness. Instead, learn to realize that what you have is already enough.
Focus on your strengths.
Instead of looking at your weaknesses, ask yourself what your strengths are. Be proud of them. Work on using them to your best advantage.
No one is perfect—we all know that. But we seem to feel bad when we don't reach perfection. You aren't perfect and you never will be. Keep trying to improve, but don't think you'll ever be the "perfect person". If you realize that imperfection is what makes you who you are, you are already perfect.
Title: Tips ____71____ real perfection and happiness
____72____
It is unwise to compare others’ ____73____ with your disadvantages, for it may ____74____ in a decrease in confidence and happiness.

It is imperfection that makes you who you are and keep trying to improve.
第三节 书面表达（共1小题，满分25分）
A car needs gas to run and your body also needs food to work for you. Eating the right kind of food is very important. It can keep your body strong, so you should take care of what you eat.
There are four main food groups altogether. The dairy products group has food like milk. The other three groups are the meat and fish group, the fruit and vegetable group, and the bread and rice group. Each meal should have at least one food from all the four main groups. With all these food together you will be given enough energy during the day.
It is easy to get into bad eating habits. You may eat your breakfast in a hurry to get to school on time. Or you may not have time for a good lunch. It may seem easy to finish your supper with fish and chips all the time. But you will find yourself tired during these days and you can not think quickly.
Watching what you eat will help keep your body healthy and strong. It is also good to take some exercise. It will help you eat more if you take a walk or play games in the open air. Having a good eating habit with some exercise is the key to your health.

We are what we eat. What we eat depends on main food groups. When we have got enough energy from all the food together, we can keep fit. A good eating habit with some exercise is good for health.
However, bad eating habits are still very common among us students. Some of us often go to school without breakfast; some like to have snacks; some others are particular about food; and still some eat or drink too much. All these bad habits will surely do harm to our health.
To keep fit, we should have various healthy diets, which generally include proper amounts of fish, meat, vegetables, fruit as well as main food. We need to develop good eating habits that will keep our lifetimes. Besides, we’d better have meals regularly. Mealtime is the ideal opportunity to set an example by creating a positive atmosphere in which healthy food attitudes can be developed. Only in this way can we have enough energy to study better.
