I remember vividly that first English class in the last term of high school. We boys (there were no girls in the school) were 16 expectantly(期待地)for the new teacher to appear. Before long, through the door came a tall ordinary-looking man 17 about 40. He said shyly, “Good afternoon, gentlemen.”

Play is the important business of childhood, and more and more research in recent years has shown the great importance of play in the development of a human being. From infancy (婴儿期), every child needs opportunity and the right materials for play, and the main tools of play are toys. Their main fun_ction is to suggest, encourage and assist play. To succeed in this they must be good toys, which children will play with them often, and will come back to again and again. Therefore it is important to choose suitable toys for different stages of a child's development.
In recent years research on infant development has shown the standard a child is likely to reach is largely determined in the first three years of his life. So a baby's ability to profit from the right play materials should not be underestimated (低估). A baby who is encouraged and stimulated, talked to and shown things and played with, has the best chance of growing up successfully.
In the next stage, from three to five years old, curiosity knows no bounds (界线). Every type of suitable toy should be made available to the child, for trying out, experimenting and learning, for discovering his own particular ability.
By the third stage of play development — from five to seven or eight years old — the child is at school. But for a few more years play is still the best way of learning, at home or at school. It is easier to see which type of toys the child most enjoys.
Until the age of seven or eight, play and work mean much the same to a child. But once reading has been mastered, then books and school become the main source of learning. Toys are still interesting and valuable, and they lead on to new hobbies, but their significance has changed to a child of nine or ten years, toys and games mean, as to adults, relaxation and fun.
36. According to the passage, when a child grows up ______.
he should be given fewer toys
he should choose his own toys
he should be given different toys
he should be given more and more toys
37. Who have the best chance to grow up successfully?
Those who grow up all by themselves.
Those who are given a lot of toys to play with.
Those who have playmates to share the toys they have.
Those who are given a lot of toys, talked to and played with.
38. According to the passage, a child is very curious when he is ______.
A. two years old B. four years old
C. six years old D. eight years old
39. The passage is mainly about ______.
A. the importance of schooling B. the role of play in a child's development
C. the choice of toys for youths D. the importance of pre-school education

The year is 2094. It has been announced that a comet(彗星) is heading towards the Earth. Most of it will miss our planet, but two pieces will probably hit the southern half of the Earth.
On 17 July, a piece four kilometers wide enters the Earth's atmosphere with a massive explosion. About half of the piece is destroyed, but the remaining part hits the
South Atlantic at 200 times the speed of sound . The sea boils and a huge hole is made in the sea bed . Huge waves are created and spread outwards from the hole. The wall
of water, a kilometer high, rushes towards southern Africa at 800 kilometers an hour. Cities on the African coast are totally destroyed and millions of people are drowned.
Before the waves reach South America, the second piece of the comet lands in Argentina. Earthquakes and volcanoes are set off in the Andes Mountains. The shock waves move north into California and all around the Pacific Ocean. The cities of Los Angeles, San Francisco and Tokyo are completely destroyed by earthquakes. Millions of people in the southern half of the earth are already dead, but the north won't escape for long. Because of the explosions, the sun is hidden by clouds of dust, temperatures around the world fall to almost zero . Crops are ruined. The sun won't be seen again for many years. Wars break out as countries fight for food. A year later, no more than 10 million people remain alive.
Could it really happen? In fact, it has already happened more than once in the history of the Earth. The dinosaurs(恐龙) were on the Earth for over 160 million years. Then 65 years ago they suddenly disappeared. Many scientists believe that the Earth was hit by a piece of object in space. The dinosaurs couldn't live through the cold climate that followed and they died out. Will we meet the same end?
40. What is mainly described in the passage?
A. A history discovery. B. An event of imagination.
C. A research on space. D. A scientific adventure.41. When the first piece hits the South Atlantic, it causes _____.
A. an earthquake B. damages to cities
C. an Earth explosion D. huge waves
42. Why can't the northern half of the earth escape for long?
A.Because the land is covered with water.
B.Because the light and heat from the sun can not reach the earth.
C.Because people there can not live at the temperature of zero.
D.Because wars break out among countries.
43. By giving the example of dinosaurs, the author tries to prove _____.
A. animals could not live in the cold climate
B. what happened 65 million years ago was an invented story
C. the human beings will die out in 2094
D. the Earth could be hit by other objects in space

Fresh Spring Around
“S.H.E. is going to sing at the CCTV annual Spring Festival Evening Party, is that true?” cried out Peng Weiye, a Senior 2 girl in Shanghai and die-hard S.H.E. fan.
After checking it on the Internet, Peng quickly phoned friends to spread the news. For fans like her, S.H.E's performance is perhaps the only part of the old fashioned evening to get excited about.
The Taiwanese band is made up of Selina, Hebe and Ella. Their name comes from the first letter of each of the singers' English names.
Last week S.H.E. announced they will perform in Las Vegas, US, over Christmas and then in Guangzhou on January 15.
At their Shanghai show on October 30, hundreds of parents waited outside the Hongkou Statdium. Inside, thousands of teenagers sang, cried and shouted as the band performed.
“I love their music, healthy image and everything related to them. Thank god that, although my parents don't understand why I love them so much, they still bought me a ticket for that show,” said Peng about the Shanghai performance.
It is not just on the mainland that the three girls have thrilled (使……兴奋) audiences. In the past year the band has passed through Taiwan, Hongkong and even Singapore and Malaysia.
When the three high school girls entered a singing contest in Taiwan in 2000, none of them ever dreamed of being a superstar. “We had never met before, and we didn't talk at all at the beginning,” recalled Ella.
When asked about the secret of their success, she said, “Our average looks and not-so-expensive clothes keep us close to our fans. We are happy to be the girl next door, your singing sisters.”
“It's really a magical journey, from day-dreaming high school girls to singers performing on the same stage as our idols. Nothing but magical,” she said.
44. Why was Peng Weiye, a senior 2 girl, so excited? ________.
A. Peng Weiye will be met by S.H.E.
B. S.H.E. will perform in Las Vegas over Christmas.
C. Her parents bought her a ticket for S.H.E's Shanghai show.
D. S.H.E. will perform on the annual CCTV Spring Festival Evening.
45. How did the Taiwanese band get the name? _______.
A. Their fans gave the name to them.
B. Their idols had a deep influence on them.
C. A singing contest gave their idea of the band name.
D. The first letter of each of the singers' English names forms the band name.
46. What do you know about Peng Weiye?
A. She stayed outside the Hongkou Stadium to listen to S.H.E.'s performance.
B. She will watch the performance in Guangzhou on January 15.
C. She pays close attention to everything about S.H.E..
D. She was grateful that her parents understood her.
47. Which is true about S.H.E.?
A. The secret to their success is their pretty faces and expensive clothes.
B. They were close friends when they entered a singing contest.
C. They caused a storm of excitement in Southeast Asia.
D. They have well prepared to perform with their idols.
D
Now, we're always hearing about road accidents(事故), and when we're in a car we try to drive carefully, but how many of us take the same degree of care in our homes? Any large hospital will tell you the number of accidents that happen in the home is almost the same as those on the road. I don't pretend to be an expert, but I've thought a lot about how and why these accidents happen and what we can do to prevent them.
One of the commonest and most dangerous causes of home accidents is wrong and careless use of electrical equipment(设备). People will continue to use a loose plug or pull out a plug without first turning off the power. In spite of warnings, one will carry an electric heater (电炉) into the bathroom when he is going to have a bath. Sometimes one forgets to cut off the power before mending a lamp or something else. All these will cause accidents. So the rule about anything that works by electricity is: Switch off before you touch anything and don't pretend you know when you actually don't.
If you've got children in the house, it's always best to keep medicines of any kind out of their reach. Otherwise, they may be taken for candies or a new kind drink. When there are older people living with you, you have to take particular care in a number of ways in order to make them safe and happy.
Fire, of course, is always a risk. So, remember not to dry clothes in front of fires, or leave stoves in the middle of rooms where they can easily be knocked over. And don't forget to keep the children away from fire. Smoking, too, may cause fire. So you'd better give it up.
Safety First may mean a little more time and care, but it may save you a lot of trouble.
48. The writer thinks the reason why there are so many accidents in our homes is that we are ___.
less careful in homes than in a car
B. more careful in our homes than in a car
C. as careful in our homes as in a car
D. not so careful in a car as in our homes
49. One of the most dangerous and commonest causes of home accidents is _____.
A. continuing to use loose plugs
B. taking a bath with an electric heater in the room
C. mending a lamp without cutting off the power
D. using electrical equipment in an improper way
50. The writer advises you ______ about the use of electrical equipment.
A. to appear as if you know everything
B. to pretend that you don't know anything
C. to pretend that you know everything
D. not to think you know everything
51. It's best to keep medicines in places that children can't _____.
A. get on B. get to C. get in D. get over

If you walk slowly through downtown Helsinki(赫尔辛基) during the day, taking in the splendid 19th century buildings, white boats and noise of passing trams(有轨电车), you will start to understand why it is called a city of two colors: white and blue.
The sea is always present in Helsinki. When you take a walk over the great open space of the central square, you will hear seabirds screaming. When you take the tram, suddenly and unexpectedly, you are faced with a calm, shining blue sea. You may notice that people in Helsinki do not rush about as in other cities. Instead, they walk along the roads, politely letting other people by.
A usual way to see Helsinki for the first time is to start out by the boats. You will walk by the elderly women selling fish and vegetables in the market square and find yourself in front of a beautiful park. You may enjoy a pleasant walk in the park for a few hours and then take the tram. Trams are the perfect way to get around in Helsinki. Watching the old houses, parks, theatres, churches, shops, restaurants and people in the streets, you may have a slightly sad film feeling to it.
The pale summer nights are another wonder in the city. Following the waterfront(滨水区) of the city after sunset, you couldn't help stopping and listening to the sweet silence, interrupted only by the screaming seabirds and leaving fishing boats.
However, in some way, Helsinki is also the most modern city in northern Europe. You will surely want to visit the white Glass Palace, the modern art museum, and all those extremely popular cafes and design stores.
52. Helsinki is called a city of two colors mainly because of the colors of its ______.
A. 19th century buildings, boats and parks
B. 19th century buildings, boats and seabirds
C. old houses, parks and trams
D. old buildings, boats and the sea
53. The best way to see most of Helsinki is to go ______.
A. by boat B. by bus C. by tram D. on foot
54. The 19th century buildings, the white Glass Palace, popular cafes and design shops in Helsinki all show that Helsinki is _____.
A. both splendid and traditional B. both quiet and noisy
C. both historical and modern D. both old and new
55. This passage is most likely to be found in ______.
A. a story-book B. a geography textbook
C. a research report D. a travel magazine

Super Girls' Voice
Last year many people especially high school students were fascinated by a singing competition “Super Girls' Voice”, which was held by Hunan TV Station. Last weekend students in our class had a heated discussion about it .
Some students supporting it think highly of the competition. They think it has offered a wonderful stage to ordinary but well-singing girls to show their singing talents in public, and encourages people to pursue their dreams. What's more, they can also develop their sense of competing during competitions .
On the other hand, the others don't agree with them. They think a series of competitions costs lots of time and money. As most of girls are still students who should concentrate on their study at present, taking part in it is not good for their further progress .
In my opinion, it is just a successful program, which has attracted lots of audience's attention. But seeing a bunch of girls with passion try hard to realize their dreams in the competition, we are inspired to study harder to be super girls too, just as competitors .

Below is some advice on how to sleep better.
1．Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule
Go to bed at the same time every night.Choose a time when you normally feel tired，so that you don't toss or turn.Try not to break this routine on weekends when it may be tempting to stay up late.If you want to change your bedtime，help your body adjust by making the change in small daily increments，such as 15 minutes earlier or later each day.As with your bedtime，try to maintain your regular wake-time even on weekends.
2．Fight after-dinner drowsiness (睡意)
If you find yourself getting sleepy before your bedtime，get off the couch and do something mildly stimulating to avoid falling asleep，such as washing the dishes，calling a friend，or getting clothes ready for the next day.If you give in to the drowsiness，you may wake up later in the night and have trouble getting back to sleep.
3．Keep your room dark and cool
When it's time to sleep，make sure that your environment is dark.Even dim light－especially those from TV or computer screens－can confuse the body clock.Heavy curtains or shades can help block light from windows，or you can try an eye mask to cover your eyes.The temperature of your bedroom also affects sleep.A bedroom that is too hot or too cold can interfere with quality sleep.
4．Turn off your television
Many people use the television to fall asleep or relax at the end of the day.You may even have a television in your bedroom.However，television actually stimulates the mind，rather than relaxing it.Part of this is due to content.Late night news and prime time shows frequently have disturbing，violent material.Even non-violent programming can have commercials that are jarring and loud.
5．Exercise early
Exercise helps promote restful sleep if it is done several hours before you go to bed.Exercise can help you fall asleep faster and sleep more soundly－as long as it's done at the right time.Try to finish exercising at least three hours before bed or work out earlier in the day.
6．Consult your doctor
Use a sleep diary and talk to your doctor.Note what type of sleep problem is affecting your sleep or if you are sleepy when you wish to be awake and alert.Try these tips and record your sleep and sleep-related activities in a sleep diary.If problems continue，discuss the sleep diary with your doctor.There may be an underlying cause and you will want to be properly diagnosed.Your doctor will help treat the problem or may refer you to a sleep specialist.
【解题导语】　如果你难以入睡，假如你睡意难消，切莫惊慌失措，本文的作者为你支招。

Decision-making can be extremely difficult.Decision-making styles are significantly different in different cultures.
In any approach to a problem and in any negotiations，the Western world turns to the“I to you” approach while Japan，the “you to you” approach.The former means both sides present their arguments openly from their own point of view.Naturally，often comes a confrontation (冲突) situation，which the Westerners are very skillful in dealing with.The latter is based on each side trying to understand the other person's point of view.Thus，the direction of the meeting is a mutual (相互的) attempt to reduce confrontation and achieve harmony.
Besides，Western decision-making goes mostly from top management and often does not consult middle management or the workers.However，in Japan great consideration is given to the thoughts and opinions of everyone at all levels.Based on “bottom-up direction”，ideas can be created at the lowest levels，travel upward through an organization and have an effect on the final decision.
Difference in decision-making also comes from different communication styles.The Japanese business person works to achieve harmony，even if the deal falls through，and will spend whatever time is necessary to determine a “you to you” approach，communicating personal views only indirectly.They put a thorough job above the Western deadline approach.So the Japanese is thorough in their meetings.Thus Americans are often annoyed by the many meetings in many Japanese businesses.But where the American is pressing for a specific decision，the Japanese is trying to think up a rather broad direction.
On the other hand，once a given agreement is made，it is the Japanese who sometimes wonders at the slow pace in which the Westerners carry out the decision.The Japanese is eager to move forward and the Westerners，perhaps，lag (落后于) behind as they take the time for in-depth planning.

Computer programmer David Jones earned ￡35，000 a year designing new computer games，yet he cannot find a bank prepared to let him have a check card.Instead，he has been told to wait another two years until he is 18.
He works for a small firm in Liverpool，where most young people of his age are finding jobs.David's biggest headache is what to do with his money.Though he has high payment，he cannot drive a car，or get credit cards(信用卡)．
David got his job four months ago，a year after leaving school with six O-levels(普通成绩)and working for a time in a computer shop.“I got the job because the people who run the firm knew I had already written some programs，”he said.
“I suppose ￡35，000 sounds a lot but I hope it will come to more than that this year.”He spends some of his money on records and clothes，and gives his mother ￡20 a week as he lives with his parents.But most of his spare time is spent working.
“Unfortunately，computing was not part of our studies at school，”he said.“But I had been studying it in books and magazines for four years in my spare time.I knew what I wanted to do and never considered staying on at school.Most people in this business are fairly young，anyway.I would like to earn a million and I suppose early retirement(退休)is a possibility.You never know when the market might disappear.”

Years ago，when I started looking for my first job，wise advisers urged，“Barbara，be enthusiastic！Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.”
How right they were.Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
“Nothing great was ever achieved without enthusiasm，wrote Ralph Waldo Emerson.It is the paste that helps you hang in there when the going gets tough.It is the inner voice that whispers，I can do it！”when others shout，“No，you can't.”
It took years and years for the early work of Barbara McClintock，a geneticist(遗传学家) who won the 1983 Nobel Prize in medicine，to be generally accepted.Yet she didn't let_up on her experiments.Work was such a deep pleasure for her that she never thought of stopping.
Author and poet Samuel Ullman once wrote，“Years wrinkle the skin，but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul”．
Enthusiastic people also love what they do，regardless of money or title or power.If we cannot do what we love as a full-time career，we can treat it as a part-time interest，like the head of state who paints，the nun(修女) who runs marathons，the official who handcrafts(手工制作) furniture.
We can't afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”．We need to turn the tears into sweat as we go after “what-can-be”．
We need to live each moment whole-heartedly，with all our senses—finding pleasure in the fragrance of a back-yard garden，the crayoned(蜡笔的)picture of a six-year-old，the enchanting beauty of a rainbow.It is such enthusiastic love of life that puts a sparkle in our eyes，a lilt in our steps and smoothes the wrinkles from our souls.
13.What can be the best title of this passage?
A．Find pleasure in what you are doing
B．Wake up your life
C．To give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul
D．No pains，no gains
14.What conclusion does the writer draw through the experience of finding a job?
A．Enthusiasm will take you further than any amount of experience.
B．Years wrinkle the skin, but to give up enthusiasm wrinkles the soul.
C．We can't afford to waste tears on “might-have-beens”．
D．Enthusiastic people can turn a boring drive into an adventure，extra work into opportunity and strangers into friends.
15.Which of the following statements is WRONG according to the passage?
A．No one can achieve great success without enthusiasm.
B．Enthusiasm will take a person further than any amount of his experience.
C．We should make great effort to do the thing that can be done instead of regretting for the past.
D．Barbara McClintock was generally accepted many years before she won the Nobel Prize.
16.Which of the following can replace the underlined phrase “let up”？
A．continue B．make less effort
C．make great effort D．stop

Many years ago，when I was fresh out of school and working in Denver，I was driving to my parents' home in Missouri for Christmas.I stopped at a gas station about 50 miles from Oklahoma City，where I was planning to stop and visit a friend.While I was standing in line at the cash register，I said hello to an older couple who were also paying for gas.
I took_off，but had gone only a few miles when black smoke poured from the back of my car，I stopped and wondered what I should do.A car pulled up behind me.It was the couple I had spoken to at the gas station.They said they would take me to my friend's.We chatted on the way into the city，and when I got out of the car，the husband gave me his business card.
I wrote him and his wife a thank-you note for helping me.Soon afterward，I received a Christmas present from them.Their note that came with it said that helping me had made their holidays meaningful.
Years later，I drove to a meeting in a nearby town in the morning.In late afternoon I returned to my car and found that I'd left the lights on all day，and the battery was dead.Then I noticed that the Friendly Ford dealership—a shop selling cars—was right next door.I walked over and found two salesmen in the showroom.
“Just how friendly is Friendly Ford？” I asked and explained my trouble.They quickly drove a pickup truck to my car and started it.They would accept no payment，so when I got home，I wrote them a note to say thanks.I received a letter back from one of the salesmen.No one had ever taken the time to write him and say thank you，and it meant a lot, he said.
“Thank you”—two powerful words.They're easy to say and mean so much.

参考答案：
I 单项选择
1. B. 本题考查冠词。keep an eye on 为固定搭配，意为“照看，密切注视”；复数名词humans前不加冠词。
2. B 本题考查的是-ing分词作状语的用法。完成时态的否定形式,注意所有非谓语动词的否定都是在前面直接加not.3. C 本题考查动词辨析题。dedicate… to sth. /doing sth. 致力于，献身于；promote促进；devote献身于，但需用“devote … to sth.”结构。故答案C为正确答案。
4. C 本题考查动词用法。Adore sth./doing sth.非常喜爱某事/做某事，也可以说Most of the students in our school adore the cinema.
5. D 本题考查动词词义辨析。由后半句agreed to cut down the price by 15%可知，空白处应表达“讨价还价”之意。Bargain讨价还价；洽谈条件；debate辩论，讨论，争论；talk（说，谈话）和discuss(讨论)显然不符合题意。
6. C 本题考查动词用法。Demand的宾语从句应用“should + 动词原形”或“动词原形”，prevent与such things之间是被动关系，因此应用be prevented。
7. C 本题考查动词搭配与语态。“教某人某事”应用instruct sb. in sth. 或teach sb. sth.，instruct 与children之间存在被动关系，所以要用被动语态。
8. D本题考查介词短语。at a loss困惑，不知所措，常与for words/what to say/what to do搭配，表示说不出话来，不知说什么或做什么才好。
9. D 本题考查名词词义辨析。zone常指较大的地区或区域；section 部分，部门；location位置；district通常指行政区域。
10. C 本题考查介词与动词的搭配。React against反对，起反作用，在此句中意为“反抗”；react on/upon对……产生影响，反过来影响；react to对……做出反应，对……有效。
11. D本题考查的是-ing分词作结果状语的用法。
12.C 本题考查状语从句。as long as“只要，如果”；now that“既然，由于”；as if“好像，似乎”；even though“即使”。
13. D 本题考查状语从句。Where it occurs作地点状语，it指this kind of disease。
14. B 本题考查动词短语。care for 愿意，喜欢，关心；care about 在乎，忧虑，关心；care of（信件）由某人转交；take care of照顾，照料。
15. A 本题考查形容词辨析。 respectable 正派的；值得尊重的；respectful 恭敬的；尊敬人的；respectful of other's opinions尊重他人的意见。
16. D 本题考查短语词义辨析。前三个词都有“毫无疑问，无可争辩”之意；out of the question不可能的，不再考虑之列的。句意为：你不能穿那件旧衬衫去参加婚礼，那可不行。
17. D 本题考查动词词义辨析。contradict 同……矛盾/抵触；contact与……联系/来往；contract缩短；contrast对比。
18. A 本题考查动词短语辨析。give away泄漏，暴露出来；give up放弃；give in屈服，让步；give out发出，放出。句意：她脸上的表情保露出了她的心情。
19. C 本题考查动词短语辨析。pack up打包，整理；turn up出现，到来；look up 往上看，查阅；make up化妆；组成，编造。
20. A 本题考查宾语从句及交际用语。Whatever引导宾语从句或让步状语从句；no matter what只引导让步状语从句；I can't agree more.表示“我再同意不过了”。

Dear Editor,
I'm writing to tell you about the great changes that have taken place in one corner of my residential district in/over the past two years.
In the past, the corner was very dirty full of a variety of wastes such as broken bottles, old papers, plastic bags everywhere, especially, with a broken and deserted car in the center, so that few people came here. However, with great support from the government and hard work of many people, the corner is becoming more and more beautiful, with a large flowerbed surrounded by green trees and nice flowers. Now birds come here to sing, children come here to play, and adults come here to enjoy their peaceful life. It has taken on a new look.
I really like my residential district now!
Yours,
Li Hua
