Ⅴ.阅读理解
In order to know a foreign language thoroughly (完全地), four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken. Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence (自信) and without hesitation (犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory (记忆) is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists (一览表) of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever (无论何时) we can.
1.The most important things to learn a foreign language are .
A.understanding and speaking
B.hearing, speaking, reading and writing
C.writing and understanding
D.memorizing and listening
答案　B

.
A.he doesn’t understand the language when he hears it spoken

答案　B
4.Which of the following is the most important in learning a foreign language?
A.A good memory. B.Speaking.
C.Practice. D.Writing.
答案　C
解析　在学习英语时，最重要的还是“练”(practice)，古语说，熟能生巧(Practice makes
perfect)，故选C项。
5.“Learn through use” means .
A.we use a language in order to learn it
B.we learn a foreign language in order to use it
C.we can learn a language well while we are using it
D.both B and C
答案　C

然”引导时间或原因状语从句。主句意思是“她明白我在说什么”，从句的意思是“尽管
那是我们第一次谈话”，只有B项符合语境。

首、句中或句末，须用逗号隔开，用于对所说事情作解释时举例用。

A.What’s more B.That is to say

答案　D
解析　D项意为“信不信由你”;A项意为“而且”;B项意为“也就是说”;C项意为
“换句话说”。
3.He knew his girl friend was crying what he had said.
A.because B.because of
C.with D.since
答案　B
解析　what he had said是what引导的名词性从句，相当于名词短语充当宾语，所以用
because of。
4.Mike is always gentle and .He is a man of culture.
A.pleased B.amazing C.happy D.polite
答案　D
解析　根据后面的“He is a man of culture.”可知他是个文明礼貌的人。所以用polite“有

答案　C
解析　本题考查名词direction与介词的搭配。表示“朝……方向”，应用介词in。
6.He wouldn’t leave the TV set, he was going to have an important exam the next day.
A.even if B.as if
C.as though D.even so
答案　A
解析　本题考查连词词义辨析。句意为:即使第二天要参加重要的考试，他也不肯离开电

能引导句子。

意思是“命令,指挥”;而request表“请求，要求”;beg“请求,乞求,恳求”;suggest“建
议，暗示”。相比之下，只有command命令意义较强，故选B。
8.One should speak clearly and it is the same writing.
A.to B.with C.as D.that
答案　B
解析　句意为：人讲话要清楚，写文章也是如此。it is the same with sth.表示前面情况也适
合于另一人或另一事。the same...as意为“与……一样”。the same也可与that连用，但that
后面应接从句。
9.It has something to do with the part electricity in our life.
A.plays B.gives C.takes D.makes
答案　A
解析　play a part in为固定搭配，意为“扮演一个角色，参与;在……中起作用”，本题
中part充当do with的宾语，同时为其后定语从句的先行词，定语从句关系代词省略，故A
项正确。
Ⅳ.阅读理解
A
You may know the English letters A，B and C，but do you know there are people called ABCs? You may like eating bananas，but do you know there is such a thing as “a banana person”？How strange! Are these people from another earth？No.They are just Chinese people like you and me.
ABC means America-born Chinese.An ABC is a Chinese，but was born in the US. Sometimes，people call an ABC “a banana person”.A banana is yellow outside and white inside.So，when a person is a banana，he or she is white inside—thinking like a westerner and yellow outside—looking like a Chinese.
Do you know why？Usually，ABCs know little about China or the Chinese language.Some of them can not speak Chinese.Also，they are not interested in Chinese politics.
But if ABCs can’t speak Chinese，can we still call them Chinese people？Yes，of course.They are Chinese.They are overseas Chinese.These people may be citizens of another country like the US，Canada or Singapore, but they have Chinese blood.Their parents，grandparents or even great-grandparents were from China.They all have black eyes and black hair.
But they are not Chinese citizens.They are not people of the People’s Republic of China.For example，we all know the famous scientist C.N.Yang (杨振宁).He got the Nobel Prize for physics in 1957.Chinese people love him.But he is an American citizen.
1.“ABC” in the passage stands for
A.3 English letters B.a kind of banana
C.Chinese born in America D.Americans born in China
答案　C

A.their bodies are white inside but yellow outside
B.they think like westerners but look like Chinese
C.they were born in China but go to study in America
D.they like to eat bananas

Geena David knew she wanted to be a movie star when she was very young.She was not sure what gave her the idea，but she wanted to look like a movie star.“I have a lot of pictures from my childhood of me wearing sunglasses，”she says.“I used to wear them to watch TV.”
Early movie actors started wearing sunglasses not because they looked good，but because their eyes were hurt.The lights used on movie sets were extremely bright and could cause a painful problem known as “Klieg eyes”.It was named after the Klieg brothers who invented the lights.Actors wore sunglasses to give their eyes a rest.But when movie stars began wearing their sunglasses in public，they quickly became a must.
Eventually actors started wearing sunglasses in their movies as well as on the street.Audrey Hephburn wore ultra-cool Ray-Ban sunglasses in the 1961 movie，Breakfast at Tiffany’s.As a result，Ray-Ban sunglasses started to appear more and more in the movies.In 1979，Ray-Ban “Wayfarers” were worn by Jake and Elwood in The Blue Brothers.Tom Cruise wore Ray-Ban “Aviator” sunglasses in the 1986 hit，Top Gun.Then in 1997，Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones made Ray-Ban “Predator” sunglasses famous in Men in Black.
Of course sunglasses aren’t just a fashion statement.The main reason to wear sunglasses is to protect our eyes against UV radiation.UV radiation can damage our eyes，so people now choose their sunglasses carefully.But you don’t have to give up style for safety.The choice of frames and lenses available these days is huge.So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the beach.
57.What is mainly discussed in this passage?
A.The use of sunglasses.
B.The history of sunglasses.
C.The sunglasses wearing.
D.Why movie stars like to wear sunglasses.
答案　C
解析　通读全文可知，文章的中心是sunglasses。该题很容易错选D项。明星喜欢戴太阳
镜的原因在第二段中提及，只是文章的一个部分而已。
58.Why did Geena David like to wear sunglasses?
A.She was a movie star.
B.She wanted to follow a movie star.
C.Wearing sunglasses was good for her eyes.
D.It was good to wear sunglasses when watching TV.
答案　B
解析　由文章第一段可知Geena David想当演员，而很多演员都戴太阳镜，所以David 也
模仿他们戴上了太阳镜，目的就是“look like a star”。
59.We may know from this passage that .
A.Audrey Hephburn was a famous film star
B.Ray-Ban is the name of sunglasses maker
C.sunglasses made Top Gun the hit in 1986
D.Men in Black must be an advertisement of sunglasses
答案　A
解析　由文章第三段可知Audrey Hephburn 在1961年拍摄的一部电影中戴着 Ray-Ban 牌
太阳镜，之后这种太阳镜风靡整个电影界，据此可推知这是一种名人效应，故 Audrey
Hephburn 应是一位很有名气的演员。
60.Now people wear sunglasses .
A.just to protect their eyes
B.for fashion and to protect their eyes
C.because of bright lights
D.because movie stars wear them
答案　B
解析　由文章最后一句“So you can protect your eyes and still be the coolest person on the
beach.”可得知现在人们带太阳镜有两重作用，既保护眼睛又比较时尚。

Research shows that middle school students’ health condition is declining obviously in recent years.Most students are near-sighted，some are weak or overweight and many can’t reach the physical standard.It is absolutely true.
What causes such problems? First，many students spend too much time before computers or TV sets.Second，students have to prepare themselves for examinations in the severe competing society.As a consequence，they spend most of their time on their subjects.Third，many of them don’t form the habit of taking physical exercises regularly.
It’s necessary and crucial to find ways to improve students’ health condition.One available way is to do physical exercises at least an hour every day.In addition，a healthy diet is also contributive to it.At last，the schools should take measures to reduce the heavy schoolwork burdens of the students.
