A
Have your ever noticed advertisements which say “Learn a foreign language in 6 weeks, or your money back! From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send……” And so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is the mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the books and newspapers of the country. Now speaking the foreign language is what most people want. Every year many millions of people start learning one. How do they do it?
Some people try at home, with books and records or tapes; some use radio or television programs; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like language learning at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people can’t afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they can’t do the student’s work for him.
41. Now a foreign language is learned .
A. in the same way as it was in the past B. quite differently from the past
C. only in the country where it is spoken D. only with the help of machines
42. Of course people don’t believe that .
A. a foreign language can be learned fast
B. one’s native language is easy to learn
C. learning a language takes a lot of time
D. books are useful while learning a language
43. Many people don’t go abroad to learn a foreign language as .
A. it’s not easy to learn there B. they hate to speak
C. they have not got enough money D. they have machines to help them
44. Learning a foreign language is .
A. not necessary B. no easy job
C. children’s work D. few people’s work

Honeybees can do three kinds of jobs.
The honeybee is one of the most unusual insects in the world. Bees are special because they divide up their work. Each bee has a certain job to do.
The busiest bee is the worker. Workers build the nest, called a hive. Inside the hive, workers make a honeycomb from wax (蜂蜡). They store honey there for food. Workers are always cleaning and fixing the hive. They even stand at the opening and fan their wings to cool the hive. Worker bees will attack anything – even people – to keep their hive safe.
Another kind of bee is the drone(雄蜂). Drones are male bees, and their job is to fly with the queen bee and mate with her. After the queen mates, the worker bees drive the drones away. The drones then starve to death.
The third kind of bee is the queen. Each hive needs only one queen, and her job is laying eggs. She can lay as many as 2,000 eggs a day.
49. The bee’s nest is called a .
A. drone B. honeycomb C. hive D. wax
50. Wax is used to make the .
A. nest B. honeycomb C. fan D. hive
51. Which jobs do workers do?
A. They lay 2,000 eggs each day and build a nest.
B. They mate with the queen bee and then starve.
C. They clean the hive and keep it cool.
D. they attack the queen bee.
52. The drone is driven away when its job is finished, because .
A. it attacked the workers B. it is no longer needed in the hive
C. the queen bee has died D. it ate the queen bee

Today anyone will accept money in exchange for goods and services. People use money to buy food, furniture, books, bicycles and hundreds of others they need or want. When they work, they usually get paid in money.
Most of the money today is made of metal or paper. But people used to use all kinds of things as money. One of the first kinds of money was shell. Shells were not the only things used as money. In China, cloth and knives were used. In parts of Africa, cattle were one of the earliest kinds of money. Other animals were used as money too.
The first metal coins were made in China. They were round and had a square hole in the center. People strung them together and carried them from place to place.
Different countries have used different metals and designs for their money. The first coins in England were made of tin. Sweden and Russia used copper to make their money. Later, other countries began to make coins of gold and silver.
But even gold and silver were inconvenient if you had to buy something expensive. Again the Chinese thought of a way to improve money. The began to use paper money. The first paper money is more like a note.

Health, wealth(财富)and happiness are the three things people usually talk about. To these three topics different people may have different ideas. 61. 有些人认为财富是他们生活中最重要的部分,for it can bring them happiness. Others think health is more important because people can’t be happy without healthy bodies.
62. It is true that both wealth and health can bring happiness to people, but they do not always go hand in hand with happiness. To get health, some people may become pickpockets(扒手)to steal money or robbers to grab(夺取)others’ things, which will hurt themselves instead of bringing them happiness. On the other hand, it does not mean that a person with a strong body would surely enjoy happiness because of being healthy along.
However, happiness is a feeling of pleasure and contentment(满足).63. This feeling encourages people to work hard and get success. 64.它同时使人们更快乐。With this feeling, a person with poor health may get over his illness sooner and better with the help of doctors.65.As happiness always bring hope to people, let’s develop a healthy outlook(人生观)and keep a pleasure heart.

Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old, and did not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers were worried about his mental ability.
Beethoven’s music teacher said about him, “As a composer he is hopeless.” What if this young boy had believed it?
When Thomas Edison was a young boy, his teachers said he was so stupid that he could never learn anything. He once said, “I remember I was always at the foot of my class. My father thought I was stupid.” What if young Thomas had believed what they said about him? Walt Disney was once fired by a newspaper editor because he was thought to have no “good ideas”. What if these people had listened and become discouraged?
What would our world be without the music of Beethoven, or the ideas of Albert Einstein and Thomas Edison?
You have great potential. When you believe in all you can be, rather than all you cannot become, you will find your place on earth.

书面表达(One possible version)
Dear Ralph,
I’m a middle school student. I’m doing well in my studies and I love my mother. However,
I have a problem that troubles me all the time. It is the relationship between my mother and me.
My mother is a professor and she works hard at college. She is too busy to talk with me. Besides, she is very strict with me in everything and I am a little afraid of her. What’s more ,she loses her temper easily. I don’t know how to communicate with her. Maybe it’s because we have seldom sat down and exchanged our feelings and thoughts. I hope we can understand each other better. I do hope we’ll be closer. What can I do?
Yours sincerely,
Li Xiaohua
