　　I’m Tim and I had three friends.I asked them how they had changed since they came to our middle school.And here are their answers.
Robin 　　I didn’t do well in my study before,but since I began to study in this school,things have changed.The teachers here are all energetic,active and helpful.They always encourage me by saying “I’m sure you can make it” or “You are one of the cleverest students I have ever met”.These words really mean a lot to me.Now I’m one of the top students in my class,and I like studying as well.
Dick 　　I used to be a fat boy who could hardly run 500 meters.When I entered the middle school,my father worried that I would be laughed at by my new classmates,so he decided to do morning exercises with me every day.It really worked.Now I’m used to running and exercising in the morning,and I am slim and strong.Besides,my P.E.teacher thinks I can be a good runner in the future!
Jason 　　I used to like to be alone and didn’t feel like talking to anyone.But when I met Robin and Dick,I found that they were really good people.Then gradually we became closer and finally became good friends.Thanks to them,I’m talkative and outgoing now,and I have made many other friends.I talk and play with my friends every day and each day I feel happy.
56.Who always encourages Robin after he came to the middle school
A.His teachers. B.His friends.
C.His parents. D.His classmates.
57.Why did Dick’s father do exercise with him
A.Because he wanted to lose weight.
B.Because he wanted his son to be healthy.
C.Because he worried that his son would be laughed at by other students.
D.Because he didn’t want his son to be lonely.
58.What do you think of these friends’ changes

　　There was once a little boy with a bad temper(脾气).He often had fights with his friends.One day,his father gave him a bag of nails(钉子) and told him to hammer(敲) a nail into the fence every time he lost his temper.The boy listened to his father and did what his father told him to do.
　　The first day,the boy drove 17 nails into the fence.Then the number of nails became less and less in the following days.The boy found that it was easier to keep his temper than to drive the nails into the fence.Finally,the day came when the boy didn’t lose his temper at all.He told his father about it and his father asked him to pull out one nail each time he was able to keep his temper.
　　The days passed and the young boy was finally able to tell his father that all the nails were gone.The father took his son by the hand and led him to the fence.He said,“You have done well,son,but look at the holes in the fence.The fence will never be the same as it was before.When you say some words in anger,your bad temper will leave a scar just like the hole.Even if you say you’re sorry,the wound is still there.If you h... a person with words,the wound is as bad as a physical one.Friends are rare(稀有的) jewels(珍宝).They make you smile and feel happy.So never hurt your friends.”
　　Since then the boy had never fought with his friends.He learned how to get on with others and he never lost his temper again.
59.What did the father ask the little boy to do each time he lost his temper
A.To have fights with his friends.
B.To hammer a nail into the fence.
C.To listen to light music.
D.To eat much chocolate.

　　One day,while I was waiting for my father,I saw a little boy,around two years old,running freely on the grass as his mother watched from a short distance.The boy had a big smile on his face as if he had just been set free from some sort of prison(监狱).The boy would then fall to the grass,get up,without looking back at his mother,and run as fast as he could,again,still with a smile on his face,as if nothing had happened.
　　At that moment,I thought to myself,“Why aren’t most adults this way ” Most adults,when they fall down,make a big deal out of it and don’t even make a second attempt.They would be so embarrassed that they would not try again if someone saw them fall.Or,because they fall,they would find a good excuse for themselves that they’re not fit for it.They would end up being too afraid to attempt again for fear of failure(失败).
　　However,with kids,when they fall down,they don’t consider their falling down as a failure;instead,they treat it as a learning experience.They try again and again until they succeed.The answer must be that they have not connected “falling down” with the word “failure”.What’s more,they probably think to themselves that it’s quite OK to fall down and that it’s not wrong to do so.In other words,they allow themselves to make mistakes,so they remain energetic.
　　I was deeply impressed by the boy’s persistence(坚持不懈) and the manner in which he did.
62.What did the little boy do when he fell down
A.He cried and lay on the grass.
B.He asked his mother for help.
C.He got up and went on running.
D.He got up and stood there crying.
63.In the writer’s opinion,what might the little boy regard his falling down as
A.A failure. B.A joke.
C.An interesting game. D.A learning experience.
64.In the writer’s opinion,why can’t many adults succeed
A.Because they are afraid of being embarrassed.
B.Because they can’t find a good excuse.
C.Because once they fail,they won’t attempt again.
D.Because they don’t allow themselves to make mistakes.
65.What does the writer want to tell us
A.Practice makes perfect.
B.Failure is the mother of success.
C.All roads lead to Rome.
D.Each coin has two sides.
D
　　I was fourteen years old and I just came to the junior high school.It seemed that I would have difficulties finishing high school because I was a troubled teenager.However,one person came into my life quietly and then completely changed everything.
　　The first year in my school,Mr.Brown taught me history.He was quite different from the other teachers I had known.But I had to say that he was sure a great teacher.
　　One day,Mr.Brown called me aside(到旁边) and asked why I was a B student in his class but a C student in the rest of my classes.I passionately(情感强烈地) told him about my divorced(离婚的) parents,the gangs(尤指滋事的青少年团伙),the fights,the police—all of the evil things I had experienced.It was then that Mr.Brown patiently explained that the only person responsible(有责任的) for my situation was me.And the only person with the ability to change my situation was me,too.He told me that I failed not because I was a failure as a student.He encouraged me to become a better student.
　　Ten years later,I was preparing to graduate(毕业) from a university.The first person coming to my mind was him.So I tried to reach him and wanted to tell him that I really wished him to come to enjoy this important moment together with me.
　　I’ll never forget his reply.He said,“Who is this again ”
　　At that moment,I came to realize that I was just one of hundreds of the students whose lives were changed by him but he had no idea of his influence.
　　Mr.Brown never came to my graduation,but his absence taught me another important lesson.His final lesson for me was that we will never know or understand the influence we have on other people’s lives.And he also taught me that we all have the chance to influence people’s lives for the better or for the worse.
66.Why did the writer have difficulties finishing high school
A.Because he was too young.
B.Because he was poor.
C.Because he was a troubled teenager.
D.Because he disliked his teachers.
67.What can we learn from Paragraph 1
A.The writer used to be a troubled student and no one cared about him.
B.The writer finished high school because of someone’s influence.
C.The writer was a good student before he came to junior high school.
D.The writer always failed the exams because he disliked studying.
68.What does the underlined word “evil” in Paragraph 3 mean
A.Private.　 B.Dangerous.
C.Bad.　 D.Special.
69.What can we infer from the passage
A.The author used to like history less than other subjects.
B.The author kept in touch with Mr.Brown all the time.
C.Mr.Brown forgot to come to the author’s gradu-ation.
D.Mr.Brown had influenced a lot of students for years.
70.Which of the following can be the best title
A.Influence Is Everywhere
B.Troubled Teenager’s Turning Point
C.A Valuable Lesson
D.Get Control of Your Own Life

第二部分　语言运用
【语篇解读】本文主要讲述了作者因为耳聋戴着助听器在学校被人嘲笑,所以很伤心,但是因为乔丹老师的三个字,生活发生了改变。作者决定以后不管面临多少困难,都能克服它们。
31.C　解析:句意:在恰当的时间,恰当的话语可以改变一个人的一生。finish“结束”;stop“停止”;change“改变”;create“创造”。根据上文“I believe that we can have an important influence on anyone we meet.”可知,此处表示在恰当的时间,恰当的话语可能会改变一个人的一生。故选C。
32.D　解析:句意:在询问了许多医生和其他耳聋孩子的父母后,他们决定把我送到一所普通学校。yard“院子”;house“房子”;community“社区”;school“学校”。根据下文“On my first day,the other kids made fun of me...my hearing aid(助听器) and the way I talked”可知,作者去了一所普通学校。故选D。
33.A　解析:句意:第一天,其他孩子因为我的助听器和我说话的方式取笑我。because of“因为”;with the help of“在……的帮助下”;instead of“而不是”;except for“除了”。根据“the other kids made fun of me...my hearing aid(助听器) and the way I talked”可知,他们取笑“我”是因为“我”的助听器和“我”说话的方式。故选A。
34.B　解析:句意:虽然我看起来很外向,但我的自尊心很低。Unless“除非”;Although“虽然”;When“当……时”;Whether“是否”。根据“I seemed outgoing,my self-esteem(自尊) was quite low”可知,前后两句是让步关系,用Although引导让步状语从句。故选B。
35.B　解析:句意:我认为自己是一个丑陋的孩子。turned down“调低,拒绝”;thought of“认为”;took after“像”;brought up“培养”。根据上文及“...my self-esteem(自尊) was quite low.I...myself as an ugly kid.”可知,“我”很自卑,所以认为自己是丑陋的。故选B。
36.C　解析:句意:我的老师乔丹夫人用一个简单的三字短语改变了这一切。easy“容易的”;little“小的”;simple“简单的”;last“最后的”。根据空后的“three-word phrase”以及下文“those three simple words”可知,此处表示用简单的三个字。故选C。

The Change Made Me Better
　　I have changed a lot since I was in Grade 9.In the past,I used to be weak and had difficulty in learning English.I felt tired when I learned for the exams.
　　Then my friend Tom offered me help.Following his advice,I changed my learning methods.Firstly,I listened to the teacher carefully and took notes in class.Secondly,I kept on practicing the new words by repeating after the tape.What’s more,I took part in the soccer club.I felt relaxed when playing soccer.It made me stronger than before.
　　What great changes! I get to know it’s never too late to change ourselves for the better.
