There’re some important days in April to remember.
Fools’ Day
April Fools’ Day falls on the fist day of April. It’s the only of the year when you can play tricks on others and needn’t worry about them getting angry. You must make sure the jokes are good for both sides. Don’t make your tricks mean or dangerous.
First Modern Olympics
On April 6,1896, King George I of Greece welcomed people to the modern day Summer Olympic Games in Athens.
Back then, Athens was just a small village, and news about the Games was unable to reach many people. As a result, only 245 athletes took part in the games. They weren’t chosen by their countries like they’re now. Instead, they came by themselves and paid for the journey themselves. Ever since then, the Summer Olympic Games have been held every four years in a different city around the world.
Healthy Day
April 7 is World Health Day. This day is not just about hand-washing and healthy eating. Each year a different them is selected. For example, the theme of 2012 Healthy Day was Ageing and Health.
This year, Healthy Day will focus on high blood pressure. The main causes of blood pressure include stress, too much salt in your food and too little exercise.
Earth Day
We call the Earth our “mother”; however, our mother is facing lots of problems. April 22 this year marks the 43rd Earth Day. It’s a day to remind us to care about the planet. On this day people do things to help improve the environment and cut down their energy use. Earth Day comes only once a year, but it reminds people to live in a green way every day. If we truly care about the planet, everyday can be Earth Day!
25. What can people do on April Fools’ Day
A. They can fight with each other.
B. They can play with fireworks.
C. They can play tricks on each other.
D. They can make others angry.
26. Why did only 245 athletes take part in the first Olympic Games
A. Because most people weren’t interested in it
B. Because communication wasn’t developed
C. Because King George I didn’t allow the news to be spread
D. Because the journey to Greece was too long and expensive
27. Which of the following isn’t the reason for high blood pressure
A. Too much drinking B. Too much stress
C. Too little exercise D. Too much salt

Five years ago, I was sent to a better middle school. For me, everything there was new and strange. After I had been there for two months, there was an important test in the middle of the term. It covered all my courses. In that test, I didn’t get a good grade, but most of my classmates got an A.
It made me upset for a long time. I felt everything in the world was changing. I thought my classmates were all better than me. During those days I was very unhappy.
One day, my aunt, after talking with my teachers, talked to me. She told me to think about what I had done in the past and what I should do in the future. I was shocked by her words. I thought about what I had done during the past months, and I found I had done nothing to improve my grades. I thought I should work harder.
After that, I paid more attention to the teachers’ talking in the classes, and I asked my teachers or my classmates when I didn’t understand something. I studied very late at night when I met with difficult problems. Most of all, I came to understand the importance of taking notes in class. As a result, I did better in some tests.
About three months later, the most important test came at the end of the term. This time, I stood out not only in my class but also in the grade. From then on, I have tried to do my best when I do something because I know if I want something, I should work hard for it.
32. Why did the writer fall behind in the new middle school _________
A. Because the teachers didn’t treat him well enough.
B. Because the subjects were becoming more difficult.
C. Because he hated the life in the new school.
D. Because he didn’t put his heart into study.
33. What did the writer’s aunt do to help him out _________
A. She punished him for not working hard.
B. She helped him find out the reasons for his poor performance.
C. She forced him to work harder.
D. She asked his teachers to talk with him about his problems.
34. Which of the following studying methods helped the writer most _________
A. Asking teachers for help when in difficulty.
B. Working deep into the night every day.
C. Making notes in class.
D. Listening to every word his teachers said.
35. What does the underlined sentence in the last paragraph mean __________
A. The writer failed again in the exam.
B. The writer did very well in the exam.
C. The writer became the cleverest in the class.
D. The writer was very proud of his progress.
第二节 七选五（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）
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。 并将正确答案填在答题卡上36-40的位置。
Five Steps to Better Handwriting
Some kids love handwriting，but others hate when it’s time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them？ 36__ Here are five steps that really work!
Get a great grasp
Try this—hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard？But when you hold your pencil the correct way，writing is much easier. 37_ Hold it in place with your thumb（大拇指），and your index(食指) and middle fingers.
Let the lines be your guide
Lined paper is your friend！Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion(均衡)． 38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one.
Slow down
If your writing is hard to read，try slowing down a little. If you rush，it’s hard to control where you stop and start your letters.
Lower the pressure
39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and don’t hold the pencil too tightly.
40
Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though it’s not schoolwork，you’re still using the skills you need to control your pen better.
A．Play games.
B．Ask for more advice.
C．So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”．
D．You’ve been writing since you were a little kid.
E．Some kids press down really hard when they write.
F．The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting.
G．The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb.

作文范文：
Dear Li Hua，
I'm glad to offer you some advice.
In my opinion, forming good habits to learn English is vital and essential, such as reading aloud, listening to English songs and communicating with native speakers of English. Fortunately, you have easy access to English because there are English programmes on TV and English films. Also, reading can often build your vocabulary, which may be the biggest challenge for you. In addition, you should have confidence in yourself. Try to speak English whenever possible, just as a proverb goes, practice makes perfect. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. In this way, you are sure to improve your English.
Hopefully, my advice will be helpful.
Yours,
Deanne
