I had my first job at the age of thirteen，when a friend of my mother who owned a bookshop hired me for six hours a week to help her in the shop. I was very 1 to earn my own pocket money and my parents 2 interfered (干涉) with how I spent it，even when I was spending it 3 . They believed that by earning money，spending it，and learning from the 4 ，I would become more mature (成熟的) and 5 about how to handle work，relationships with others，and money．
Like many 6 parents，my parents also let me and my brothers do things over which they 7 a great deal．When I was sixteen，for example，after I finished high school and before I entered university，I wanted to spend the summer months traveling around 8 . My mother was against the idea of my traveling alone at such a young age，but my father felt that it would be a great 9 for me．In the end，my father won the 10 on the condition that I limited my traveling to France，my mother’s home，where l had many uncles，aunts and cousins who 11 through the country who could 12 shelter and help if I needed them．
Three years later，my younger brother decided to 13 a year off after his first year in university and travel through the United States and the Caribbean．Again my mother was very worried and not 14 to see my brother leave school，but my father encouraged him and my brother had a(n) 15 year working his way on trains and ships to 16 passage to different ports and cities，and discovering many fascinating places and people．
These kinds of experiences are probably 17 for children in many countries but in the US they are fairly common．Most parents start 18 their children at a young age to do small things by themselves．By the time they have finished high school，many American kids have already had 19 jobs，traveled around the US or other countries on their own，have selected the university they plan to attend and maybe even decided on their future 20 ，and so on．

If I were writing a history of my family, some of the darkest moments recorded would be those surrounding Christmas trees. One would certainly think otherwise; selecting and putting up our trees have always been filled with risk. For example, one afternoon dangerously close to Christmas Eve my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain, a glorious tree that was so full and tall that we could hardly get it into the house. Once we did, my father immediately realized that we would have to hire a carpenter to build a stand for it. Another December, perhaps the very next one, we bought a tree earlier than we ever had before. We were happy with its shape and delighted that its size was manageable. We easily placed it in a stand, decorated it from top to bottom, and then self-satisfiedly sat back by the fire in its soft light. Two or three days passed and the truth could not be hidden; we had bought a tree cut so long ago that its needles were coming off. There was nothing to do but undecorate it, take it down, and begin tree shopping again. Our most recent Christmas tree offered still another difficult task. When we brought it home, once again it seemed larger than it was in the great outdoors. To complicate matters, we had bought a new stand, one whose nuts (螺帽) and bolts (闩子) worked more mysteriously than those of our old stands. I persuaded two young neighbors to stop playing basketball and to help us get the tree into the house and set it correctly in the stand. Unfortunately, no one noticed the mud on our helpers' shoes, so only after removing several reddish brown spots from the carpet were we able to discuss the question of where the lights and ornaments (装饰)were stored. Perhaps those who cut their own trees have tales more painful than these. I don't care to hear them, as my family's experiences are enough to cause me to make the following suggestion:" Let's forget the tree next Christmas. Let's simply hang some flowers on the front door and over the mirror in the hall. "
1. The darkest moments in the writer's family were with the fact that _____.
A. the family bought big Christmas trees
B. they had problems decorating their Christmas trees
C. they had problems picking suitable Christmas trees
D. they had problems finding carpenters for putting up Christmas trees
2. We can learn from the passage that the writer would like to _____.
A. forget about Christmas stories
B. get the neighbors to put up their trees
C. buy a better tree to celebrate Christmas
D. make other decorations rather than Christmas trees
3. When the writer said " my mother bought what she thought to be a bargain", he means ____.
A. she bought the tree at a cheap price
B. she didn't really want to buy it
C. she had to bargain hard with the salesman
D. she couldn't afford a more expensive one
4. Which of the following can be the best title for the passage
A. How to Select a Christmas Tree B. No More Christmas Tree for Us
C. Dark Moments of Life D. Christmas Without Trees

Mail was usually carried west on ships that sailed around the bottom of South America and then north to California. That could take several months.
So, in eighteen fifty-seven, D.C. Lawmakers in Congress in Washington wanted to make it possible to send mail all the way across the United States by land. Congress offered to help any company that would try to deliver mail overland to the West Coast. A man named John Butterfield accepted this offer. He developed plans for a company that would carry the mail—and passengers, too.
Congress gave John Butterfield six hundred thousand dollars to start his company. In return, he had to promise that the mail would travel from Saint Louis, Missouri, to San Francisco, California, in twenty-five days or less.
It was not possible to travel straight through because of the Rocky Mountains and the deep snow that fell in winter. So the stagecoach would travel south from Saint Louis to El Paso, Texas, then over to southern California, then north to San Francisco. The distance was about four thousand five hundred kilometers.
Two hundred of these stations were built, each about thirty-two kilometers apart. The workers were to quickly change the horses or mules whenever a stagecoach reached the station. There could be no delay. Each stagecoach was to travel nearly two hundred kilometers a day.
One hundred stagecoasches were built and painted red or dark green. They were the most modern coaches that money could buy. They were designed to hold as many as nine passengers and twelve thousand pieces of mail. The seats inside could be folded down to make beds. Passengers either slept on them or on the bags of mail.
The cost would be one hundred fifty dollars to travel from Saint Louis to San Francisco. If a passenger was not going all the way, the cost was about ten cents a kilometer. The passengers had to buy their own food at the stations. The stagecoach would stop for forty minutes, two times a day.
The company warned passengers about the possible dangers. A poster said: “You will be traveling through Indian country and the safety of your person cannot by vouchsafed (granted) by anyone but God.”
1. What is the passage mainly about
A. Different ways of sending mail in the United States.
B. The difficulty in sending mails across the USA by land.
C. The first stagecoaches that carried both passengers and mail.
D. The history of the first stagecoaches carrying mail to the American West.
2. The reason why Lawmakers wanted to send mail by land was that ________.
A. mail was usually carried west on ships
B. it was safer to travel to send mail by land
C. it would take less time to send mail by land
D. stagecoaches could carry passengers and mail
3. As is described in the passage, the stagecoach ________.
A. could only stop twice a day
B. was modern with seats and beds
C. was a closed wagon pulled by horses or mules
D. had different horses or mules pulled all the way
4. What can we learn from the passage
A. John Buttterfield got thousands of dollars for delivering mail in stagecoaches.
B. John Buttterfield kept his promise to deliver mail straight to the West Coast.
C. Passengers might be robbed when traveling through the West.
D. Passengers needed to pay one hundred dollars for their journey.

Many of the most damaging types of weather begin quickly, strike suddenly, and disappear rapidly, destroying small areas while leaving neighboring areas untouched. Such event as a tornado（龙卷风）struck the northeastern part of Edmonton, Alberta, in July 1987. Total damages from the tornado went beyond $250 million, the highest ever for any Canadian storm.?
Traditional computer models of the atmosphere have limited value in predicting short-lived local storms like the Edmonton tornado, because the available weather data are generally not detailed enough to allow computers to study carefully the slight atmospheric changes that come before these storms. In most nations, for example, weather-balloon observations are taken just once every twelve hours at places separated by hundreds of miles. With such limited data, traditional forecasting models do a much better job predicting general weather conditions over large areas than they do forecasting specific local events.?
Until recently, the observation intensive method needed for exact, very short-range forecasts, or “Nowcasts,” was not possible. The cost of equipping and operating many thousands of conventional weather stations was extremely high, and the difficulties concerned in rapidly collecting and processing the weather data from such a network were hard to overcome.
Fortunately, scientific and technological advances have overcome most of these problems. Radar(雷达) systems and satellites are all able to make detailed, nearly continuous observation over large areas at a lower munications satellites can send out data around the world cheaply and immediately, and modern computers can quickly collect and analyze this large amount of weather information.
Meteorologists（气象学者）and computer scientists now work together to design computer programs and video equipment able to change weather data into words and graphic displays（图解）that forecasters can understand easily and quickly. As meteorologists have begun using these new technologies in weather forecasting offices, nowcasting is becoming a reality.
1. Why can’t traditional computer models predict short-lived local storms
A. The weather data people collect are often wrong.
B. Detailed weather data in some small areas are not available.
C. The computers are not advanced enough to predict them.
D. The computers are not used to forecast specific local events.
2. The word “Nowcast” in Paragraph 3 means ________.
A. a network to collect storm data
B. a way of collecting weather data
C. a more advanced system of weather observation
D. a forecast which can predict weather in the small area
3. What can make “Nowcasts” a reality according to the passage
A. Scientific and technological advances. B. Advanced computer programs.
C. Computer scientists. D. Meteorologists.
4. What does the passage mainly talk about
A. The advantages of “Nowcasts”.
B. A tornado in Edmonton, Alberta.
C. The difficulty in predicting tornado.
D. A great development in weather forecast.

There are two basic ways to see growth: one as a product, the other as a process. People have generally viewed personal growth as an external (外在的) result or a product that can easily be identified and measured．The worker who gets a rise, the student whose grades improve, the foreigner who learns a new language —— all these examples of people who have measurable results to show for their efforts．
By contrast (对照) , the process of personal growth is much more difficult to determine, since it is a journey and not the specific signposts or landmarks along the way．The process is not the road itself, but the attitudes, feelings people have , and their caution or courage, as they meet with new experiences and unexpected difficulties．In this process, the journey never really ends；there are always new ways to experience the world, new ideas to try, new challenges to accept．
In order to grow, to travel new roads, people need to have a willingness to take risks, to face the unknown, and to accept the possibility that they may “fail” at first．How we see ourselves as we try a new way of being is necessary for our ability to grow．Do we see ourselves as quick and curious If so, we tend to take more chances and be more open to unfamiliar experiences．Do we think we’re shy and indecisive Then our sense of fear can cause us to hesitate, to move slowly, and we think we are slow to adapt (适应) change or that we’re not smart enough to deal with a new challenge．Then we are likely to take a more passive role or not try at all．
These feelings of insecurity (不安全) and self-doubt are both unavoidable and necessary if we are to change and grow．If we protect ourselves too much, then we stop growing．We become trapped inside a shell of our own making．
1．In the author’s eye, one who views personal growth as a process would ______．
A．succeed in climbing up the social ladder
B．grow up from his own achievements
C．face difficulties and take up challenges
D．aim high and reach his goal each time
2．Which of the following can be viewed as the process of personal growing
A．Our manager was always willing to accept new challenges．
B．Jane won the first prize in the speech competition．
C．Jerry picked up French during his stay in Paris．
D．Father’s salary rose from 5, 000 to 7,000．
3．For personal growth, the author is in favor of all the following EXCEPT _______．
A．being curious about more changes
B．being quick in self-adaptation
C．having an open mind to new experiences
D．staying away from failures and challenges
4．Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage
A．It is not so easy to measure personal growth．
B．To try and fail on the new road facing the unknown is unavoidable．
C．There are only two ways to see a person’s growth．
D．If you are too shy to take any risks in life, you cannot grow up．
5．The best title for this passage should be ______．
A．Facing New Challenges B．Growth—Product or Process
C．Two Basic Ways of Growth D．Overcoming Internal Fears

Awareness Weeks have become a regular part of Britain’s cultural landscape over the past few years. They started back in 1957, when one charity, Christian Aid , decided to make all its money-raising efforts on one time of year . It was thought that by doing this they would get more publicity for their cause.
They were right , and soon other charities and campaign groups followed them. These days, most donations to charity are not collected on the streets. So instead of just asking for money, charities prefer to spend their time “ raising awareness” —— spreading knowledge of the work they do or the cause they support . They also compete with businesses and trade groups who use awareness weeks as marketing campaigns for their products.
There are now 500 awareness weeks held every year in the UK. No week goes by without one group or another trying to make the British public aware of something, with most held in May or October.
The danger with all these awareness weeks is that people start to become cynical(不信任). Take National Smile Week, it seems like a great idea. Let’s all make each other’s life a little bit happier with a friendly smile. But really it’s just a group of dentists and cosmetics companies trying to sell us toothpaste. It’s enough to make you want to start National Forget About It Week.
“People feel that many awareness campaigns are just marketing exercises,” says Ms Ormiston, who edits the Awareness Campaign Register, a news letter which encourages people who run Awareness Weeks to become more aware of each other. “But 90 per cent of campaigns are run by traditional charities or not for groups to make money.”
“There’s still no official group for awareness campaigns,” says Ms Ormiston. “People can do what they like, whatever the size of their budgets or their public relations machines allows.”
This situation has led to calls for laws to stop real charities having their efforts overshadowed by marketing campaigns. This could be done by making the two groups hold their weeks at different times or stopping businesses running imitation charity campaigns.
But there is another way. Maybe it’s time for National Weak Awareness Week, especially for people whose awareness of Awareness Weeks is weak.
1. What’s the main purpose of awareness weeks run by charities in Britain
A. To raise money for charities. B. To spread knowledge of charities.
C. To take up marketing campaigns. D. To advertise their goods for sale.
2. Why do people start to become cynical about awareness weeks
A. Too many awareness weeks make people feel bored.
B. People feel many awareness weeks are just for marketing exercises.
C. People have a weak awareness of awareness weeks.
D. Awareness weeks are held too often and too much money is raised.
3. What does Ms Ormiston think about awareness weeks
A. Most of the awareness weeks should not be for making money.
B. Official groups should take the place of charities in awareness campaigns.
C. People can do what they like in awareness weeks.
D. People can get larger budgets through awareness campaigns.
4. Which of the following is the right measure to be taken to solve the problems in awareness campaigns
A. Laws should stop awareness weeks run by real charities.
B. There should be large public relations departments in awareness campaigns.
C. Business and awareness campaigns should not be held at the same place.
D. Marketing campaigns should not be in the name of charity ones.
5. What’s the writer’s view on Awareness Weeks
A. National Forget About It Week should be held to stop awareness weeks.
B. National Smile Week is a great idea to improve people’s life.
C. National Weak Awareness Week can help people better understand awareness weeks.
D. Awareness Weeks should be stopped because of marketing campaigns.

Our Social Practice Activity
Our class visited the Capital Museum last week，and it is one of the most impressive social practice activities since high school．
Last Thursday before our visit，my classmates and I searched for as much information as possible through the Internet，such as its location and the latest exhibitions and shows．
On Friday morning we gathered at the entrance at nine o’clock，and then a beautiful guide showed us around the exhibition on the traditional buildings in Beijing，where we learned the development of our city architecture．After that，we got to know our folk culture by watching the digital film and learning to make some paper－cuts and paint masks in DIY area．Before we left at twelve，we also went to the craft show that I was interested in．
The capital Museum is very large and attractive and the activities there aroused our great excitement and interest in our traditional culture and custom．We enjoyed the visit so much that most of my classmates decided to come again later.（170 words）

40% 50% 我的看法
1.要上课2.高考6月举行，要抓紧时间复习 1.不要上课2.休息好，提高学习效率 1.其中—天学习，一天休息2.学习与休息两头兼顾

Recently we have had a discussion about whether we should have classes on weekends.
40% of us think we should have classes on weekends because the college entrance examinations will be held in June, and we should make full use of our free time to review what we have learnt.
Another 50% are against the idea of having classes on Weekends，They believe students should have a good rest on weekends so that they can study more effectively during the weekdays．
I don't agree with either of the ideas above. In my opinion, study and rest are both important for students. I suggest one day of the weekend should be used to study and the other day to have a rest.

Reading Interests of Senior Middle School Students
Recently a survey has been done to find out the reading interests of senior middle school students. In this survey, one thousand senior middle school students from ten schools in Hubei Province were interviewed. They were asked which they liked reading most among the four categories of English articles: news, stories, popular science articles and articles about learning methods.
The survey shows that more than half of the students like to read news most. Twenty-six percent of the students say that English stories are their favorite. Only seven percent of the students are most interested in reading articles about learning methods. However, the number of students who enjoy reading popular science articles doubles that of those who prefer reading articles about learning methods.

Great changes have taken place in the way of communication in people’s life in recent years.
In the past, people kept in touch with each other mainly by writing letters or using the public telephone. But now almost everyone has his own mobile phone. People can communicate with each other almost at any place and at any time. What’s more, people have easy access to the Internet, which enables them to send and receive e-mails whenever they like. With these changes, people’s pace of life has been quickened and people’s work has been made more efficient. It used to take several days to hear from each other, but now it takes only several minutes, even if they are in two different continents. In a word, people have an easier life nowadays.

　　Dear Mr. Wang,
　　We’re so pleased that you are willing to share our views.
　　In the course of the general revision, what we need is solid foundation. As you know, we didn’t learn well enough in the first two years, so please slow down and make sure we have really mastered something. Besides, we need a little more time to think for ourselves. As for those important points which also make us confused, would you please give us more practice in case we forget Meanwhile, we need your instruction, for example, in how to write in natural English. I still have another request: assign us less homework in order that we can do it more efficiently.
　　By the way, we often feel frustrated, which has a very bad effect on our study. We would appreciate it if you would give us some encouragement from time to time.
10 说明原因
When asked the question “What are precious things ”, different people will have different answers, such as honesty, friendship, justice, success, health, wealth, power and so on. What is the most precious thing for you and why Give at least two reasons.
When asked the question what the most precious thing is, people’s preference varies from person to person. As for me, I’d like to give priority to friendship without hesitation. The reasons are as follows.
First of all, friendship casts warm sunshine on your disappointed heart every time there is a dark shadow above it. We may be deeply trapped in the valley of despair when we’re stricken by failure. However, a word of encouragement or a smile of comfort will pluck our spirits up and keep us optimistic about tomorrow again. Besides, friendship offers approval and understanding. Nothing can be more joyful when you find someone sharing the same value and belief as yours. And nothing can be sweeter than the sincere praise from your friends. Furthermore, friendship keeps you company and guarantee that you are anything but lonely. Therefore, friendship means a great deal to me.
11. 开放作文
Please write a passage entitled “My _______experience during this Spring Festival”.( Fill in the blank with an adjective（形容词）, such as unforgettable, exciting and so on. )
My Unforgettable Experience during this Spring Festival
During this Spring Festival, I had only a three days’ break, for I was working hard for the next year’s college entrance examination.
For some reasons, my aunt couldn’t take care of my grandpa, so my grandpa, who cannot even walk independently, came to live with us during the Spring Festival. My mother was happy because she really didn’t have many chances to live with her aged father.
This Spring Festival, we had only four people altogether, with no big dinner or fireworks. But I was satisfied because we had time to accompany my old grandpa, who became very lonely and speechless since my grandma died three years ago. I chatted with him in a soft voice and helped him move towards the window to see the beautiful fireworks outside. And I couldn’t help crying when I saw a slight smile appearing on his face. I thought I hadn’t even really looked at him before this Spring Festival. I suddenly realized how much I love him. At that time I swore I would spend more time possible to stay with my lonely grandpa, who is like a pale plant or a candle in the wind.
I think those three days were really unforgettable during this Spring Festival.
12. 开放作文
请根据下面提示，写一篇短文。词数不少于50。
In your English class, you are asked to describe the following picture and explain to your classmates how you understand it.
参考词汇：缸vat 漏出来 leak out 漏洞 loophole
In the picture, four people are trying to fill a vat with water. Two men are carrying water while two others are pouring water into the vat. However, with so many loopholes at the bottom of the vat, they’ll never store any water, because no one tries to fill the holes.
It reminds me of the problems in our study. While studying, we always go great length to read more books, to do more exercises. However, after we finish the exercises, we seldom pay attention to the mistakes we’ve made, nor do we try to correct them and put them down. Therefore, a “hole” is left. Day by day, the “holes”, or rather the shortages, get more and more. No matter how many books we’ve read, we have never accumulated any knowledge. They have leaked out because of the hole.
So that’s why we say learning is a way to accumulate. We should pay attention to the mistakes we’ve made and the holes we have in our study as well as the new knowledge. Only in that way can we accumulate much knowledge and fill up our mind with it.
