Tapescript
Rob: Hi, Diane!
Diane: Hi, Rob! How are you doing ?
Rob: I’m fine. I’ve just been to my first language class.
Diane: Oh really? So have I
Rob: Which language are you studying?
Diane: Spanish. Which language are you studying?
Rob: Chinese.
Diane: Is that right? Cool! How was it?
Rob: It was good. The teacher’s name is Mr Davies.
Diane: Mr Davies?
Rob: Yes, he isn’t Chinese, obviously, but he’s fluent in Chinese. And there’s an assistant teacher called Miss Wang. She IS Chinese. We’re going to see her once a week.
Diane: And what do you think?
Rob: Well, learning Chinese isn’t going to be easy—but the first lesson was very enjoyable—I liked it a lot. Mr Davies gave us a lot of encouragement—he made us feel really good about being there. The most important thing at the beginning is pronunciation, getting the sounds right- he said it didn’t matter if we made mistakes. I think we all made a lot of progress – in just an hour.
Diane: That’s great.
Rob: What about Spanish ? Did you start yet?
Diane: Yes, we did. The teacher is nice, but I already speak some Spanish and the rest of the class are really beginners. I misunderstood the teacher—I thought she said the class was for people who already speak Spanish. I’m not sure if I’m going to make much progress.
Rob: Oh, I’m sure things will improve.
Diane: Maybe—actually, I was a bit disappointed – she explained everything in English.
Rob: Oh, that’s too bad.

school activities finding the
supporting reasons, such as
painting, lecture, music,
telling story and games,
etc. You can choose a special feature
of your school, such as
architecture, location, famous
students, etc.
2.Prepare some materials for the
brochure. You may find out more
information for the special
feature you have already chosen. Better go around the school and
observe it everywhere carefully
after class to collect some writing
materials and then write. Finally
think of a good slogan for your
school. For example, A Cradle to
Learn.
Skills building 2: Writing methods
1.Words to use in the brochure. Better
use these words which appear in the first
module, especially the words in the box
of MODULE FILE, both vocabulary and
grammar focus on page 10.2.Phrases and patterns to use in the

student. My new senior school is a large, modern, and
beautiful one, whose school yard looks like an amazing
and brilliant garden with trees, grass and flowers
around the buildings. There is a standard playground
and a well-equipped lab building in our school. The
classrooms are also well-equipped and pleasant with a
computer and a screen in each one. We can learn
much that comes from the websites unloaded by the
teachers. Nobody is bored in class and all have fun. All
the teachers are enthusiastic and friendly and their
teaching ways are nothing like that of the teachers at
my junior school. Mrs. Zhao is our new English teacher. She thinks
that reading and writing are both important in
learning English. She makes us speak, talk, practice
and listen by ourselves. She wants to improve our
pronunciation and help us with our handwriting. We
all like her attitude to education and the behavior of
us shows that she is loved and welcome. We study more than ten subjects at senior grade one,
they are Chinese, math, English, physics, chemistry,
biology, history, geography, IT, PE and so on. But
my reading comprehension seems poorer and I
decided to work hard at it. We are all hard-working.
I think we must make great progress in all the
lessons with the help of teachers. Thank you!Writing and everyday English and fun_ction

Give them a paper with questions on it about what their names are, how old they are, where they live, what their telephone numbers are, what their junior schools are and what they enjoy doing. This can be used in groups of 4 to have students introduce each other. At last have them share their papers with the class.
T: Welcome to our school, boys and girls. From now on, you become a Senior High school student. You have a new school, new teachers and new classmates. First of all, please allow me to introduce myself to you. ... Would you like to introduce yourself to each other in groups of 4? Here is a paper with questions on it. Later I’ll have you share your own papers with the class.
Show it on the screen.
Name
Age
Sex
Address
Telephone
Junior
Likes
A few minutes later.
T: Now please share your own paper with the class.
You may change it with other groups.
Step Ⅱ Introduction
First, ask the Ss to learn the names of the subjects by themselves, answer the questions in Activity 1 on page 1 in pairs. Check the answers with the whole class. Then get them to discuss their favorite subjects and explain the reasons, filling in the blanks in Activity 2 in groups of 4. At last show some of their answers.
T: Now we’ve known each other. We’re going to study in the same class. I think we should make good friends and work hard together. From now on I’ dike to help you with your English study. Do you want to know what other subjects you should learn at Senior High school? Open your books, and turn to page 1. Please look at the words in the box. They are the names of subjects. Now please fill in the form about the subjects by yourselves.
Show it on the screen.
Subjects at Senior High
Science
Physics, chemistry, mathematics, IT, biology
Social
Geography, history
Language
English, Japanese, Russian, Chinese
Others
PE
A few minutes later.
T: OK, let’s check the answers with the whole class.
Now I’d like some of you to answer the questions in Activity 1 in pairs according to the form.
...
T: Do you like English? Why or why not?
S1: Yes, I like English very much because it’s very important and interesting.
S2: No, I think it’s too difficult for me to learn it well.
T: Sounds reasonable. How about the other subjects? Now I’d like you to discuss your favorite subjects and explain the reasons, filling in the blanks in Activity 2 in groups of 4.
After discussion.
T: Now I want some of you to show your sentences to the whole class.
S1: I like mathematics because I enjoy calculating.
S2: I think IT is important because it becomes more and more useful in our daily life.
S3: I think physics is difficult because I can’t deal with the examinations very well.
S4: I would like to study history because it can make me wiser.
Step Ⅲ Pre-reading
Ask the Ss to discuss the questions in Activity 1 on page 2 in pairs and show their answers. Then get them to practice Activity 2. Check the answers with the whole class.
T: All of you just came from the Junior High school. Now I’d like you to compare Junior High school and Senior High School. Please discuss the questions in pairs.
A few minutes later.
T: Now I’ll ask some of you to answer the questions in Activity 1. Who’d like to answer Question 1?
S1: The teaching contents in senior are much more difficult than that in junior.
S2: The teaching method has been changed greatly.
S3: Senior students need stronger self-educated ability to prepare and review the lessons.
S4: To get high marks, junior students needn’t use more brains as long as they work hard. But in senior this kind of method of learning is ineffective.
S5: Some senior students, whose homes are far away from school, have to live in the dormitories.
S6: Some courses in Senior High school are more difficult than those in Junior High school, and the amount of assigned homework goes up as well. It’s obvious that there are students who find it difficult to adapt to the senior courses; they don’t do the homework and don’t make plans for study.
S7: It’s more difficult to pass the examinations of Senior High school, because a provincial exam-passing requirement is needed to get through before graduation.
S8: Compared with Junior High school, the teaching materials of Senior High school are much larger and more difficult.
T: Excellent job. How about Question 2?

T: Last class we’ve learnt a diary about a student’s first day at Senior High. Now let’s check our homework. I’ll ask some of you to retell the diary using the third person with the help of the form about the text. Who’d like to have a try?
S: Let me have a try. Li Kang is a new Senior Middle school student who lives in Shijiazhuang. Today is his first day at Senior High. The teachers are enthusiastic and friendly. The classrooms are amazing and brilliant, each of which has a computer and a special screen. The English class is really interesting and funny. Their English teacher, Ms Shen is very enthusiastic. She employed a new method of teaching to instruct the students. In English class, with the help of Ms Shen, the students practiced reading comprehension, introduced themselves to each other, did some spelling games and other activities. They enjoyed themselves in class and they all liked their new English teacher. There are sixty-five students in his class. The number of the girls is twice more than that of the boys. Not only the girls but also the boys are hard-working. He loves his new Senior High school very much.
T: Very good! Now let’s deal with the discussion work. And I’ll give you a few minutes to talk about it in groups of 4, and then you can give your opinions about it.
Show the question on the screen.
How do you finish the transition smoothly from the Junior Middle school to the Senior High school and adapt yourselves to the new learning circumstance as soon as possible?
After discussion.
T: Quite good! Since you entered the Senior High school, you have met a lot of problems. But the most important one is how to finish the transition smoothly and adapt yourselves to the new circumstance. As you know, the teaching contents in senior are much more difficult than that in junior. The teaching method has been changed greatly. Many students feel it hard to adapt themselves to the new school. What should we do at the beginning of the new term? Now, boys and girls, please speak out your opinions freely and actively. OK?
S1: I think we must seek for the scientific study method. In order to get high marks, we should not only work hard but also use an effective learning method.
S2: To enlarge the knowledge, the senior students must go to library or search the Internet so as to get more information and read more after-school materials.
S3: I think we should prepare our new lessons before class so that we can shoot the arrow at the target, and concentrate on solving the problems we meet.
S4: In my opinion, self-confidence is the most important. We should fix a reasonable target and make a practical learning plan according to our own levels.
S5: Yes, I think so. I believe that if we work hard with the guide of the right learning method, we will make progress continuously and improve ourselves step by step.
S6: Quite right. I don’t think one can overcome all kinds of difficulties unless he has a strong will and great determination.
S7: I suggest that we should ask for our teachers’ advice on how to learn our lessons well. With their help, we can promote efficiency and get twice the result with half the effort.
S8: I think it important to listen to the teachers carefully and make notes in class, because it is convenient for us to review the lessons after class.
S9: My father told me to form a good study habit, develop ability to analyze and solve problems on my own.
S10: We ought to keep fit in body and mind. We’d better keep on doing exercise every day. I think it is important to keep a balanced mind.
T: Excellent! You’ve got it. Congratulations on your nice beginning. I’m sure you may soon adapt yourselves to the new school life at Senior High. All of you will realize your ideals if you can stick to working hard in the right way. Here is a
formula from the famous scientist Albert Einstein:A=X+Y+Z. Among them, A represents success, X represents hard work, Y represents right method, Z represents few words. Wish you success!

S1: Brilliant! I think his class was very attractive and lively and every student was active to practice with the instruction of him.
S2: Yes, I think so. I was tired of learning English in Junior Middle school. But I have been interested in English since Tom taught us. What do you think of Tom?
S1: Excellent! His oral English is very fluent and his pronunciation is very good. His teaching method is very interesting and his words are humorous.
S2: Yes, he is very strict but kind. He encouraged us to be brave to speak loudly without being afraid of making mistakes. All of our classmates like him very much.

T: Now please look at the photos from a US high school brochure on page 7. What can you see in the pictures?
S1: They are doing some after-chool activities. Some are doing sports. Some are playing with computers.
S2: The American students lead a colorful school life. They all appear to have fun.
T: Quite good. I’d like you to talk about the questions in groups of 4 and try to find out the similarities and differences in American and Chinese school systems.
A few minutes later.
T: Let’s check the answers with the whole class. Is the school similar to our school? Why or why not?
S1: Yes, it’s similar to our school. In order to cultivate independence ability, work ability, activity ability and communication ability of the Ss, the school founds 16 students’ mass organizations with the help of the student union.
S2: The organizations provide at least half an hour a day for students to take part in activities, and carry out all kinds of subjects and entertainment activities. The mass organizations become beautiful scenery in the construction of campus culture.
S3: The special-purpose classrooms, such as the dancing classroom, the musical classroom, the fine arts, the calligraphy classroom and so on are founded completely.
S4: There are 6 network microcomputer rooms and 46 multimedia classrooms in the school. It is the computer educational test school of the national primary and middle school.
S5: In our school, there are physical labs, chemical labs, biological labs, computer rooms and multi -functional rooms, all of which have met the international standards. Besides, we also have a large library, auditorium, gym and even campus TV station.
S6: The school engages foreign experts all the year round to offer spoken English lessons. Regularly the school holds English winter camp and summer camp, and organizes the Ss to go abroad to have a visit in order to help them establish “world consciousness” and experience the brand-new learning of English culture.
T: Excellent job! School is the place that trains the students to grow up and become a talented man. That is to say, it is our every teacher’s wish and duty to let the students become wise, healthy and happy. Do the students at our school do things like this?
S7: Yes, of course. We are aiming at training our students to be internationalized talents with the knowledge of every domain, and the ability to master the modern information technology. With the perfect qualities of our education, the students can be brought up excellently.
S8: We can also match our interests to various clubs in school. For example, if your voice is good, you can join a singing club, and show your talent in a singing contest.
S9: Our school advocates the good campus culture and atmosphere actively, launches the positive, rich and colorful culture life. We strongly call for to be the “outstanding Chinese and the kind citizen in the world”; Study hard and keep enterprising positively.
S10: As the bridge for the school contacting the students, through the regular discussion between the teachers and students and the school leaders, Students’ Union sets up the suggestion box and other ways to implement democratic supervision, put forward the advisable suggestions to the school in time (including teaching, life and management). Utilizing the various forms such as the broadcast, the E-mail, the school publication and the school bulletin etc. to fully arouse and stipulate the study enthusiasm of the students, promote students’ overall development morally, intelligently and physically.
T: Terrific. Now let’s talk about the similarities and differences between American and Chinese school systems.
S1: In American high schools, there is fighting or hurting or other kinds of bad behaviors. So children who want to go to university are often sent to suburban high schools, where most students aim at going to university and the atmosphere is quite different. Chinese students are much safer than those in America.
S2: In China, secondary education is divided into academic secondary education and specialized /vocational / technical secondary education. Vocational schools offer programs ranging from two to four years and train medium-level skilled workers, farmers, and managerial and technical personnel. Technical schools typically offer four-year programs to train intermediate technical personnel. “Schools for Skilled Workers” typically train Junior Middle school graduates for positions requiring production and operation skills. The time of training is typically three years.
S3: There are great differences between Chinese and American middle schools. In China, the schools pay much attention to cultivating good habit and ability of independent study. The school offers morning reading and evening self-study time, during which teachers are asked to guide them. Students finish homework and teachers give feedbacks and correction on the same day. But in America, the school starts at 7:50 am and finishes at 3:00 pm.
S4: In China, the designation of “key school” exists for selected schools at every level: elementary, secondary and higher. In addition, there are various levels of the “key” designation itself: There are national key institutions; provincial or municipal key institutions, and county or district key institutions. Key schools all enjoy priority funding as well as the privilege of recruiting the best students. At the elementary and secondary levels, this concept is similar to that of a “magnet” or “college preparatory” school in the United States.
S5: Finally, since 1992, a new informal category of schools has emerged: the so-called “elite schools.” These non-governmental schools with state-of-the-art facilities often charge astronomical tuition fees and cater primarily to children of the new and wealthy entrepreneurial class in China. “Elite schools” exist at all levels of education, from kindergarten to higher education. There are also a lot of private schools, and parents have to pay for them. The cost is $ 5,000-$ 10,000 a year.
S6: In America, since the students spend a lot of time participating in various activities, school becomes the center of social life for students. They not only go to school to study the material presented in class, but they also meet together to socialize and to pursue their interests. But Chinese students have less time to take part in all kinds of activities. They concentrate on learning the main subjects, such as Chinese, maths, English and so on.
S7: In fact, high school in the United States is usually divided into two periods — the first two or three years is called “Junior High school” and the other is “Senior High school”. It’s similar to China.
S8: In China, children enjoy free education of nine years, but in the United States, the students enjoy free education until they are eighteen years old. As a result of the free education system, American children have little difficulty in going to Senior High school. It is very different from China.
S9: American high school students can take part in a lot of activities outside of the classroom. The school organizes the activities such as joining a music group or a sports team.
S10: American students have to work hard in order to get good marks if they want to go to a good university. They do not specialize in any particular direction, and they take classes in all kinds of subjects all through the high school period. And those who come out with low marks at the end of a school year and who are supposed to repeat a grade are often allowed to go on to the next grade.

Step Ⅰ Revision
Check up the homework. Let the Ss show their written work on the screen.
T: Now let’s check up the homework. I’ll ask some of you to show your written work on the screen.
A sample version:
Dear Rob Marshall,
How are you doing? I thought I’d like to tell you about our summer vacation and the Chinese school system.
Extensive cooperation has been established with many famous schools abroad such as America, England, and Australia in our school. In summer holidays of every year many foreign teachers come to our school holding “modern holiday’s English village”. They teach us spoken English with various teaching methods. The summer camp not only improves our ability of using language, but also promotes our friendship with foreigners. We have made friends with them and keep in touch with each other constantly.
I’d like to give you introduction about Chinese education system. China has a Compulsory Education Law, which calls for each child to receive nine-year formal education. To meet this requirement, a child will attend five-year elementary education followed by three-year Junior Middle school. Today in China, the first system, “5-4”, is virtually nonexistent; the second system, “6-3”, is far more common.
I’d like to talk about primary school. Primary education includes preschool and elementary education. Preschool or kindergarten, can last up to three years, with children entering as early as age three, until age six, when they enter elementary school. The academic year is divided into two semesters. In China, children begin to go to school at the age of six or seven; it takes them six years to finish primary school. During the stage, they are taught the elementary knowledge in language and science, for example, mathematics, basic Chinese, English, nature, music, gym, drawing and so on.
Now, I’d like to mention of Junior Middle school. After primary school, the students will go to Junior Middle school without having to pass the exam. Education at this level is compulsory; Junior Middle school education lasts for three years. The students study many subjects, for example, Chinese, mathematics, English, physics, chemistry, geography, history and so on. When Junior Middle school education comes to an end, the students are screened by exam in two ways. Some students expect to enter college, so enter Senior Middle school. The others want to work, they attend professional school. For Senior Middle school students, it takes them three years. For professional school students, it takes them two to three years.
Best wishes,
Li Kang
Step Ⅱ Reading
Ask the Ss to read the passage about club activities on page 69 and answer the questions with their partners. Guide the Ss to guess the meanings of some new words from the context and practice Exercise 12. Then practice Exercise 13 and decide if the sentences are true or false. Check the answers with the whole class.
T: You know your school life is colorful and meaningful. After-school activities are very important in your school life. First of all, I’d like you to answer my questions. What would you like to do after class? Why do you like it?
S1: I like to go to library to read more books because I want to enlarge my knowledge.
S2: I often go to the net bar to surf the Internet in order to search some useful information related to the textbooks.
S3: I enjoy playing basketball after class. I think it important to keep fit by doing exercise.

S5: I’d like to listen to some music because it can make me relaxed after study.
T: Well done! I think it is the most important for you to take part in some meaningful activities after school. Now please turn to page 69. Today we’re going to read the passage about club activities. And answer the questions with your partners.

2. Students who join in any clubs are called members of the clubs. They spend a lot of time together on club activities.
3. The clubs meet two to four times a week after school.
4. Many students feel that club activities are the most enjoyable part of Senior High School life. Many graduates say that their best memories of Senior High School life are the days they spent with other club members. Because they have had similar life experiences, they often make friends with each other. The friendships often last a long time after graduation.
T: Quite good! Now please practice Exercise 12 and find these words in the passage and choose the best definition. Then practice Exercise 13, decide if the sentences are true or false. You may talk about them with your partners. After discussion, let’s check the answers with the whole class.

Step Ⅳ Consolidation
Ask the Ss to talk freely about their after-school activities in their Junior Middle schools.
T: Now, let’s have a free talk about the after-school activities of your former Junior Middle schools. Volunteers?
S1: Sports are a traditional program in our school. The most familiar and easiest examples must be running, especially long-distance running. Because of the distance and the number of participants, it’s a good way of testing students’ endurance and patience, especially their mental tenacity. No matter how frustrated they feel during the process, the people who reach the finishing line are heroes to themselves.
S2: Students can match their interests to various clubs in our school. If your voice is good, you can join a singing club, and show your talent in a singing contest. If you’re interested in acting, the drama club is the best choice. Plays can reveal your acting potential, and win you applause from the audience. Of course, the main purpose of going to school is studying. Although real life is not as colorful as films, school still gives us many unforgettable memories.
S3: A variety of teams are offered for both boys and girls in our school. Sports teams are popular such as football, basketball and baseball teams. In addition, one may find tennis, gymnastics, swimming, golf, volleyball and track and field teams.
S4: Other important activities in our middle school are the club meetings, music or drama rehearsals, and sport practice sessions that take place in the afternoon after classes. These meetings are a very important part of middle school life, since they are a link between different groups of students. Students who usually would not meet in the classroom get to know each other in areas of common interest. They give the Ss the opportunity to further their specific interests in various fields and to spend their free time together.
S5: There are school teams in my school, which compete with other schools and which have very intensive training, and intramural teams, which play with other teams within the school itself. In our school, there is a great deal of competitions the students who join the school teams. There are schools regulations that make it difficult for the new students to join in. On the intramural teams most students are welcome to participate.

My After-school Activities
As the students of modern times, we have colorful school life.
Everyday, we learn plenty of knowledge on different subjects in class. And our school organizes many extracurricular activities in order to help us put what we have learned into practice. After class, we take part in various activities, like playing football, basketball, badminton, etc. They are good for our health. Besides, we are able to join in the lectures organized by literature association, music group, art group, where you can enjoy famous works, learn to play instruments or draw pictures. Also, there are chances for us to use computers in the laboratory and talk with some foreign teachers about anything we are interested in at the English corner. Now, most of us may operate computers freely and have a good command of spoken English.

You don't think I have made mistakes, do you? 你并不认为我犯了什么错误,是吗?
3 In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys. 换句话说,女孩是男孩的三倍。 (1)in other words 意为“换句话”,在句中用作插入成分。如: In other words, she must give up singing. 换言之,她必需放弃唱歌。 I'm not used to the way you speak to me.

7. Vocabulary (此处可以适当安排幻灯片的张数)
1).The teacher is a very enthusiastic woman called Ms. Shen. 这个非常热情的女老师是沈老师。 called Ms. Shen 是过去分词短语作定语,与所修饰的词之间存在着逻辑上的被动关系,相当于定语从句who/that was called Ms. Shen。 如: We visited the new library built three weeks ago. The first textbooks written for teaching English as a foreign language came out in the 18th century. Most of the artists invited to the party were from South Africa. 注:短语一般放在被修饰词之后,单个过去分词放在被修饰词之前
2).And we have fun. I don't think I will be bored in Ms. Shen's class! 我们上课上得很开心,我认为我不会对沈老师的课厌烦的。 (1)have (great) fun 玩得开心 =have (a lot of) fun = have a wonderful time =enjoy oneself
如:
fun/,是不可数名词,常用于be fun 结构中,相当于interesting。如 Seeing monkeys in the zoo is great fun. What fun it is to play a game after work! 注: 此处的what fun不能用how funny代替,因为"funny"是“滑稽的,好笑的”的意思。 [拓展]for fun=in fun 开玩笑地 make fun of 嘲笑,取笑。如 I'm not saying such a serious thing for fun. It's bad manners to make fun of the blind. (2) 我们要注意本句英汉表达的区别。英语中有些动词,如think, believe, expect, suppose, feel, guess, imagine 等,当它们后面接一个具有否定意义的宾语从句时,通常要把主句的动词变为否定式,而宾语从句中的谓语动词用肯定形式。这种现象称为否定的转移。如: We don't think there is anything interesting in your pictures. I don't believe what he said is true. I don't suppose they will object to my suggestion. He didn't imagine that she would go abroad. I don't feel the food can last us through the winter. 注:在反意疑问句中,若陈述部分是第一人称,think等词用一般现在进,则疑部部分需与从句中的主语和谓语保持一致,否则要与主句的主语和谓语保持一致。如: I don't think it's going to rain tomorrow, is it? You don't think I have made mistakes, do you? 3 ). In other words, there are three times as many girls as boys. (1)in other words 意为“换句话”,在句中用作插入成分。如: In other words, she must give up singing. I'm not used to the way you speak to me. In other words, I don't want to continue our conversations. Beethoven wrote many world-famous musical compositions. In other words, he was a great musician. 倍数表达法: ①A + be+倍数 +as+ adj. +as+B Asia is four times as large as Europe. ②A+be+倍数+ 比较级+than+B Asia is three times larger than Europe. ③A+be+倍数+the size/length/height/depth/width+ of+ B Asia is four times the size of Europe. 注: time 表示倍数,一般只限于表示基数词在内的三倍或三倍以上,若表示两倍可用副词twice 或形容词double。 time 表示的倍数也可以用分数,百分数或某些表程度的副词替换。 The street is twice the length of that one. Ten is double five. This pencil is a quarter as long as that one. Our room is 60% the size of theirs.
4) I'm looking forward to doing it!我非常渴望去做。 look forward to sth./doing sth. 意思是“期待着某事/做某事”,其中“to”是介词。 I look forward to hearing from you as early as possible. Boys and girls are looking forward to Children's Day. I'm looking forward to his return just as much as he himself seeing me. [链接]动词+介词to构成的常用短语有: look forward to 盼望…… turn to 求助于;转向;翻到…… pay attention to 注意…… stick to 坚持 get down to 开始认真干…… object to 反对 belong to 属于 refer to 谈到,涉及,参阅 point to 指向 see to 处理,料理 come to 共计;苏醒 reply to 答复 agree to 同意 add to 增加 devote…to… 贡献……给…… compare…to…把……比作……
8 The present tenses:
(I) She visits her parents everyday.
What is the time by your watch?
The moon goes around the earth.
The train leaves at seven and arrives at nine.
We will go to the park if it doesn’t rain tomorrow.
Please tell him about it as soon as he comes back.
(II) All the students are looking at the blackboard carefully.
We are learning New Standard English.
Now we are leaving the classroom and approaching the playground.
She is always thinking of herself.
总结:表示习惯和通常行为用一般现在时;表示当前发生的动作用现在进行时。

I. Lead in:
1 I was ________ when I saw the _______ news. (exciting & excited)
2 The dog was ________ in playing _________ games, such as playing balls, wires and plates. (interesting & interested)

阅读下列短文,从每题所给的A、B、C和D四个选项中选出最佳选项。
A
It’s school time again! You’re probably feeling excited and maybe a little sad that summer is over. Some kids feel nervous or a little scared on the first day of school because of all the new things: new teachers, new friends, and even a new school. Luckily, these “new” worries only stick around for a little while. Let’s find out more about going to a new school.
Most teachers kick off the new school year by introducing themselves and talking about all the stuff you’ll be doing that year. Some teachers give students a chance to tell something about themselves to the rest of the class, too. When teachers do the talking on the first day, they often go over classroom rules and school rules so you’ll know what’s allowed and what’s not. Please pay close attention
You might already know a lot of people in your classes on the first day, but it’s a great day to make a new friend, so try to say hello to kids you know and new ones that you don’t. Make the first move and you’ll be glad you did, and so will your new friend!
Seeing friends you haven’t seen in a while can make the first day a good one. You can make the day feel special by wearing clothes that you really like. Maybe you got a great T-shirt on one of your vacations, or a pair of sneakers(运动鞋). It also can make you feel good to be prepared and have all the things you need, such as pencils, folders, and whatever else you’ll be needing. But make sure that you pack them the night before in case you don’t have time in the morning.
56. The underlined phrase “kick off” in the second paragraph probably means “_____”.
A. start B. study C. find D. teach
57. The last paragraphs mainly tell us about ________.
A. what to know about a new school
B. how to prepare for a new school
C. what to do on your first day of school
D. how to spend your first day of school
58. According to the passage you usually do everything on the first day of school except
_______.
A. introduce yourself B. learn about the school rules
C. make new friends D. go over your new lessons
59. If you happen to see an old friend on the first day of school, from the passage we
know that you will feel ________
A. nervous B. lucky C. happy D. excited
B
It’s good to get along with your teacher because it makes the time you spend in the classroom more pleasant.
It’s also good to get along with your teacher because, in general, it’s smart to learn how to relate to the different types of people you’ll meet throughout your life.
But really, there’s one super-important reason why you should get along with your teacher. When you do, “learning bursts right open,” says Evelyn Vuko, a longtime teacher who writes an education column called “Teacher Says” for the Washington Post newspaper.
In fact, kids who get along with their teachers not only learn more, but they’re also more comfortable asking questions and getting extra help. This makes it easier to understand new material and do the best on tests. When you have this kind of relationship with a teacher, he or she can be someone to turn to when you have problems, such as problems with learning, school issues, or bullying.
As a kid in elementary or middle school, you’re at a wonderful stage in your life. You’re like a sponge(海绵), able to take in lots of new and exciting information. On top of that, you’re able to think about all this information in new ways. Remember teachers are people too, and they feel great if you’re open to what they’re teaching you. That’s why they wanted to be teachers in the first place—to teach!
In every school, kids will say certain teachers are tough. In fact, in most cases, your teacher wants to help you. And a teacher who’s called tough may be someone who feels strongly about getting his or her job done — teaching you what you are supposed to learn.
60. How do you understand the phrase “get along with” in this passage?
A. Sing high praise for. B. Follow the example of.
C. Leave a good impression on. D. Form a good relationship with.
61. From this passage we know that teachers like students who ________.
A. want to get extra help after class B. think about information in new ways
C. understand new material quickly D. are open to what they’re learning
62. If a teacher is tough, he/she is probably ________.
A. cruel and critical B. strict but hardworking
C. kind and gentle D. serious but honest
C
If you have ever been discouraged because of failure, please read on. Usually, achieving what you set out to do is not the important thing. Let me explain.
Two brothers decided to dig a deep hole behind their house. As they were working, a couple of older boys stopped by to watch.
“What are you doing?” asked one of the visitors.
“We plan to dig a hole all the way through the earth!” one of the brothers answered excitedly.
The older boys began to laugh, telling the younger ones that digging a hole all the way through the earth was impossible. After a long silence, one of the diggers picked up a jar full of spiders, worms and a lot of insects. He removed the lid and showed the wonderful contents to the visitors who were laughing at them. Then he said quietly and confidently, “Even if we don’t dig all the way through the earth, look what we found along the way!”
Their goal was far too difficult, but it made them dig. And that is what a goal is for—to make us move in the direction we have chosen. In other words, it sets us to digging!
But not every goal will be fully achieved. Not every job will end successfully. Not every hope will come to pass. Not every love will last. But when you fall short of your aim, perhaps you can say, “Yes, but look at what I found along the way! Look at the wonderful things which have come into my life because I tried to do something!” And I believe it is the joy in the journey, in the end, that truly matters.
63. The writer told us the story to ________ .
A. advise us to treats our failures fairly
B. persuade us to make an aim for our lives
C. encourage us to learn from the two brothers
D. prove that failure helps us make achievements
64. What’s the best title of the passage?
A. Failure is the mother of success
B. When there is a will, there is a way
C. No pains, no gains
D. Joy in the journey
65. Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?
A. Digging a hole all the way through the earth is impossible.
B. The writer thinks that the two brothers will reach their goal one day.
C. A goal is something that makes us want to dig holes.
D. Everyone can succeed if he sets a practical goal.

附加综合阅读题(共5个小题,每小题2分,共10分)
阅读下面短文,并根据文章后的题目要求进行简答。
Teacher’s Day is next week, and we are assigned to write a letter to at least two of my previous teachers. This got me thinking.
I’ve had about forty teachers since I started going to school. Each of them has indeed changed me in one way or another, but there are really only six that I will never forget. Those six teachers taught me more than just facts and formulas. . They taught me how to think for myself. They encouraged me when no one else would even look my way. One moment I will never forget was when I was a freshman. I wrote something about Shakespeare’s Macbeth. I always loved writing—but I was never any good at it. At least I thought I wass’t. But, the teacher, Ms. K, didn’t agree with me. She was so impressed with my writing that she ran across the hallway to show the paper to another teacher. The fact that she thought my paper was good enough to show to another English teacher gave me a lot of confidence. Four years later, whenever I feel uncertain about my skills as a writer, I just remember that moment. It was a simple thing, but with that simple acknowledgement of my writing, she told me, without saying the words out loud, that I had something to share. The other five teachers have influenced me in similar ways. Each has taught me something that text books will never say. It is they who have taught me to grow as a person, to travel the path less traveled, to have passion for everything I do and to believe in myself.
So this is my thanks to those teachers, not just the teachers I know, but to all the teachers.
1. What kinds of teachers do you think are unforgettable for the writer? (Please answer the question in your own words)
2. Why did the author write this article? (Please answer the question in your own words)
3. Please fill in the blank in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.

Her acknowledgement of my writing improved my self-confidence in my writing.
5. Translate the underlined sentence in the passage into Chinese.

Dear Mummy and Daddy,
I have been here for a week now. Everything here is new to me. There are 1,800 students and 32 classes with 200 teachers and staff in our school. The teachers in our school work hard. Chinese, math and English are our required courses. Besides these we have many selected subjects to choose from, too. I’m in Class 3, Grade 1. There are fifty students, thirty-five boys and fifteen girls in my class. My English teacher is our head teacher. She is very kind to us but she is very strict and serious about her work. We all think that she is a great teacher. Please don’t worry about me. I’m old enough to take care of myself, and I’ll do my best in all of my subjects.
Yours,

Once a group of 17-year-old schoolboys decided to break the world basketball marathon record (马拉松纪录). They wanted to play for ninety hours and that would add six hours to the record. Each team had nine players. The boys decided each person would play 21.5 hours and then rest for 2 hours. Then they started at 6 o'clock in the evening.
The first night was very hard for the players. When it was their turn to rest, they were too excited (兴奋的) to fall asleep at once.
After sleeping for a short time, they had to play again. On the second night, they fell asleep as soon as they stopped. Some of them had trouble with their feet and hands, but the other serious problem was a psychological (心理上的) one. Each boy was thinking: Why am I doing this? How can I play any longer? After the third night, the players knew they could finish the ninety hours. The basketball players on the fourth night were very slow. But in the final hours, the players got better. For the last few minutes, the players looked as fresh as if they started. How happy everyone was!

When student from a warm country comes to Britain in autumn for the first time, he feels cold. There is much cold rain and it took times for him to get used to it.
But snow is different. Though it is very cold, but it is also very beautiful. Perhaps, the student wakes up to see much lights and gets up in a hurry. But it is not very late. He sees out of the window and there is snow on the soil and on the roofs of the houses. The light in his room comes from that clean, beautiful white snow.

As prices and building costs keep rising, the “do-it-yourself” (DIY) trend (趋势) in the U.S. continues to grow.
“We needed furniture(家具) for our living room.” Says John Ross, “and we just didn’t have enough money to buy it. So we decided to try making a few tables and chairs.” John got married six months ago, and like many young people these days, they are struggling to make a home at a time when the cost of living is very high. The Rosses took a 2-week course for $ 280 at a night school. Now they build all their furniture and make repairs around the house.
Jim Hatfield has three boys and his wife died. He has a full-time job at home as well as in a shoe making factory. Last month, he received a car repair bill for $ 420. “I was deeply upset about it. Now I’ve finished a car repair course, I should be able to fix the car by myself.”
John and Jim are not unusual people. Most families in the country are doing everything they can to save money so they can fight the high cost of living. If you want to become a “do-it-yourself”, you can go to DIY classes. And for those who don’t have time to take a course, there are books that tell you how you can do things yourself.
36. We can learn from the text that many newly married people _______.
A. find it hard to pay for what they need
B. have to learn to make their own furniture.
C. take DIY courses run by the government.
D. seldom go to a department store to buy things
37. John and his wife went to evening classes to learn how to _____
A. run a DIY shop B. make or repair things

38. When the writer says Jim has a full-time job at home, he means Jim ____
A. makes shoes in his home B. does extra work at night
C. does his own car and home repairs D. keeps house and looks after his children
39. Jim Hatfield decided to become a “do-it-yourself” when ____
A. his car repairs cost too much B. the car repair class was not helpful
C. he could no possible do two job D. he had to raise the children by himself

Senior citizens are permitted to travel cheaply on a bus if they have a special card. Women may get cards when they are sixty.
Mrs. Matthews lives in the country but she went into town once a week to buy food and other things for the house, and she usually went by bus. She always had to pay the full price for her ride.
Then she reached the age of sixty and got her senior citizen’s card, but when she used it for the first time on the bus, it made her feel very old.
The bus driver had often seen her traveling on the bus before, and he notices that she was feeling unhappy, so after she had paid her money, he winked at her and whispered, “Don’t forget to give your mother’s card back to her when you see her again.”
Mrs. Matthews was very happy when she heard this.
40. Senior citizens in the story refer to _____.

Not many years ago, some American farmers began to complain about hawks(鹰). The hawks were killing chickens. The farmers did not know what to do. They went to the government officials and asked for help.
The officials said, “ We’ll pay you for each hawk you kill.” The farmers began to kill the hawks. Many hawks were killed, but the farmers now had another problem. The field mice were growing in number and they were eating up the farmers’ corn. Hawks eat not only chickens but also field mice. They eat more field mice than chickens. But if the farmers had known that, they would not have upset(打乱) the balance of nature. In one part of the USA, there are deer which eat a kind of wild rose. The deer are eaten by mountain lions. The number of deer, mountain lions, and wild rose does not change much if people stay away from them. If there are too many deer, mountain lions will increase rapidly in number and kill many deer. If there are too many mountain lions, there will be fewer deer and there will be more roses.
It is always necessary for us to keep the balance of nature. The government once killed almost all the mountain lions to protect the deer. Soon there were so many deer that they ate up all the wild roses. Then they began to eat the green leaves of young trees which were important to the farmers.
So the farmers protected their trees from the deer. The deer had nothing to eat, and many of them died.
The government learned a valuable lesson from nature.
44. What had happened after the hawks were killed?
A. People wouldn’t worry about their chickens.
B. The number of the field mice became too large.
C. The number of the field mice became small.
D. The field mice were eating up the farmers’ corn.
45. Why did American people have to protect their trees?
A. Because the mountain lions destroyed the trees.
B. Because there were so many deer that they began to eat the green leaves.
C. Because they wanted the trees to grow well.
D. Because the trees are more important than the deer.
46. What can we learn from the article?
A. We must keep the balance of nature.
B. We must not kill any animals.
C. we must feed the hawks with our corn to keep the balance of nature.
D. Both A and B.
D
In China, some radio broadcasting stations use hotlines to encourage listeners to take part in the talk shows.
That is a good idea. Yes, the fact is that some people do nothing but break the whole program.
Some people know little about the topic under discussion. Sometimes they do not even know what the host is talking about. So the host has to tell the caller what the show is about. Usually the caller will ask a few questions which express his hope and show his ignorance(无知). Then the host has to answer and explain ---how silly it is! It wastes a lot of time.
It seems that some people phone the hotlines for fun. They just want to let the listeners hear them. They do not care what the topic is, whether they themselves are interested in the topic or how silly they appear to be.
It is necessary for radio stations to improve the hotline programs. In my opinion, if a caller does not know what is going on, the operator should not let the caller take part in it.
47. The underlined sentence “some people do nothing but break the whole program” may tell us that _____
A. radio stations use hotlines in a wrong way
B. there are problems to solve in the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations
C. the use of hotlines by some radio broadcasting stations is a good idea
D. some people have unclear thoughts
48. The underlined word “operator” in the last paragraph refers to_____
A. 话务员 B. 听众 C. 医生 D. 主持人
E
After a busy day of work and play, the body needs to rest. Sleep is necessary for good health. During this time, the body recovers from the activities of the day. The rest that you get while sleeping makes it possible for your body to prepare itself for the next day.
There are four levels of sleep, each being a little deeper than the one before. As you sleep, your body relaxes little by little. Your heart beats more slowly, and your brain slows down. After you reach the fourth level, your body shifts(变换) back and forth from one level to the other.
Although your mind slows down, you will dream from time to time. Scientists who study sleep point out that when dreaming occurs, your eyeballs begin to move more quickly (although your eyelids are closed). This stage of sleep is called REM, which stands for rapid eye movement.
If you have trouble falling asleep, some people recommend(建议) breathing very slowly and very deeply. Other people believe that drinking warm milk will make you drowsy. There is also an old suggestion that counting sheep will put you to sleep.
49. During REM, ______
A. you move restless B. you start dreaming
C. your mind stops working D. your eyeballs move quickly
50. A good title for this text might be_________
A. Dreams B. Sleep C. Good Health D. Work and Rest

Youth is a kind of wealth. It will gradually disappear with the time passing. We must treasure the time when we are young in order not to waste the most valuable things in our life.
What can we do not to waste our youth? In my opinion, the first thing is to realize our value, our ideas. I believe that everyone has his or her own ideas, maybe he or she wants to be an artist, drawing beautiful pictures; maybe to be a manager, setting up a big company; maybe to be a doctor, saving patients’ lives; maybe to be a singer,________. No matter what our ideas are, we must try hard to achieve them. When we are young, we are full of vitality( 活力 ).We have the best conditions in our lives, good memories, good understanding and so on. We should make full use of these conditions to study more in order to enrich our mind so as not to make our ideas only dreams forever.
For another, we should do as many things as possible we want to do (of course, they must be lawful) to enrich our lives, making it colorful and gathering many different experiences which are worth recalling when we are old.
Then when we are really old, when we can not move any more , we can be proud of our achievements, can recall those things we have experienced and we can say we have no regret in our lives.
So, now, act, for ourselves when we are young.
61. What is the best title of this passage? (Please answer within 10 words)
_____________________________________________________________.
62. Which sentence in the passage can be replaced by the following one? We will be proud and have no regrets when we are old.

63. Please fill in the second paragraph with proper words or phrases to complete the sentence.( Please answer in 10 words )
____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________
64. According to the passage, which thing do you think is better in not wasting your youth? Why? ( Please answer within 30 words )

Dear comrades,
May I have your attention, please? I have an announcement to make.
Tomorrow morning we are going to the Jinan Botanical Garden to clean the place. At 7:30am, we will gather at the school gate and then start out by bike. The students of the first three groups will help the workers to collect the rubbish such as waste paper , cigarette ends, plastic bags and so on. The students of Group4 are going to set up five signs, which are used to tell people to take care of the flowers and trees and not to walk on the grass. The students of Group5 will keep on telling the visitors the importance of protecting the environment. At 11:30am we will meet at the gate of the garden and then we will go back home for lunch separately.
