But not all schools are fashion deserts. Colorful sports shoes, school bags, T-shirts and even drink containers are breathing life into campuses.‎ ‎"The uniform makes us look like a bunch of clones, especially when we are doing morning exercises on the playground," said Qing Pei, a Senior 2 from Shanghai Qibao High School. "But the boys wear different sports shoes and girls have different decorations in their hair. These are the areas where you can express yourself," said Qing.‎ Although it might be strange for boys to talk about fashion, they do care about what they wear in school, especially shoes, according to Qing.‎ ‎"Nike and Adidas basketball shoes, although they are still the must-have items for many of my friends, are becoming out-of-date," Qing added. He explained that "Since Liu Xiang ran so fast in Athens, running shoes are becoming popular in this autumn. "‎ ‎"Still in fashion are the various baseball caps and American-style T-shirts with random (随意的) English words printed on them," said Qing. "The accuracy of the written message is not important. Often, the words are not spelt correctly. Sometimes they do not even make sense, "Qing said with a smile.‎ Besides sports shoes and T-shirts, styles and colors of school bags are another opportunity for students to express their taste in fashion. Some bags are made more eye-catching by decorating them with small hanging dolls.‎ Other fashionable items are the colorful drink containers which are now popular among girls this term.‎ ‎"Some teachers are surprised to see a teenager sucking a bottle like this at school and criticize it as a childish regression (退化). But some girls just love it," said Yang Rui, a Senior 3. from High School attached to Xi’an Jiaotong University.‎ ‎4.Which is NOT the way girls show their personality in school?‎ A.

Students don’t care much whether the words printed on caps or T-shirts are right or not.‎ C When kids believe they can achieve success in math and reading, they are more likely to achieve high test scores in those subjects, new research suggests.‎ Researchers used one US data set (1,354 American children) and one UK data set (13,901 British children) to measure self-concept and standardized assessments of early and later academic achievement. Self-concept is how students perceive（感知）their abilities to succeed on academic tasks. The data involved youth aged 5 to 18.‎ The study considered children’s earlier achievement and their characteristics and backgrounds, including birth weight, race, gender, age, and their mother’s education.‎ The researchers found that children’s self-concept of their ability in math predicted later math achievement, while their self-concept of their ability in reading predicted later reading achievement.‎ The finding suggests that the links between self-concept of ability and later achievement are specific to areas; that is, there is a link from students’ self-concept about reading to reading achievement, and from students’ self-concept about math to math achievement.‎ ‎“It is not unusual to see standardized measures of achievement predict achievement later in schooling, but it shows that there is more to understand.” says study coauthor Pamela Davis-Kean.‎ The research also showed that success was not limited to students who perform at the top levels.‎ ‎“It involves in students with different levels of achievement in math and reading,” says Maria Ines Susperreguy, an assistant professor at Pontificia Universidad Catolica de Chile, who led the study. “Even the lowest-performing students who had a more positive view of their math and reading abilities had higher levels of achievement in math and reading.”‎ Researchers say they don’t know what parents or students did to create these beliefs, but it’s an issue they will research further.‎ ‎8. What can we know about the children in the study?‎ A. They succeeded in maths. B. Their ages ranged from 5 to 18.‎ C. They were from all over the world. DThey were well-performing children.‎ ‎9. What was considered when scientists did the research?‎ A. Mother’s career. B. Children’s weight.‎ C. Children’s age. D. Family background.‎ ‎10. What inspiration can we get from this text?‎ A. Success lies in hard work. ‎ B. Intelligence is a must to success.‎ C. Abilities can contribute to success. ‎ D. Positive view matters much in success.‎ ‎11. What will the researchers probably study in the future?‎ A. The effect of children’s beliefs. ‎ B. Students’ learning methods.‎ C. Children’s future achievements. ‎ D. Ways to develop children’s confidence.‎ D A black hole is created when a large star burns out. Like our sun, stars are unbelievably hot furnaces(熔炉) that burn their own matter as fuel. When most of the fuel is used up, the star begins to die.‎ The death of a star is not a quiet event. First there is a huge explosion. As its outer layer is blasted off into space, the dying star shines as brightly as a billion suns.‎ After the explosion, gravity pulls in what's left of the star. As the outside of the star sinks toward the center, the star gets smaller and smaller. The material the star is made of becomes tightly packed together. A star is so solid that a teaspoon of matter from it weighs billion of pounds.‎ The more the star shrinks(收缩), the stronger the gravity inside it becomes. Soon the star is very tiny, and the gravity pulling it in is unbelievably strong. In fact, the gravity is so strong that it ‎ even pulls light into the star! Since all the light is pulled in, none can go out. The star becomes black when there is no light. Then a black hole is born!‎ That's what we know about black holes. What we don't know is this: What happens inside a black hole after the star has been squeezed into a tiny ball? Does it keep getting smaller and smaller forever? Such a possibility is hard to imagine.‎ But if the black hole doesn't keep shrinking, what happens to it? Some scientists think black holes are like doorways to another world. They say that as the star disappears from our universe, it goes into another universe. In other words a black hole in our universe could turn into a "white hole" in a different universe. As the black hole swallows(吞噬) light, the white hole shines brightly--somewhere else. But where? A different place, perhaps, or a different time--many years in the past or future.‎ Could you travel through a black hole? Right now, no. Nothing we know of could go into a black hole without being crushed(挤压). So far the time being, black hole must remain a mystery.‎ Black holes are a mystery--but that hasn't stopped scientists from dreaming about them. One scientist suggested that in the future we might make use of the power of black holes. They would supply all of Earth's energy needs, with plenty to spare. Another scientist wondered if a black hole could some day be used to swallow earthly waste--a sort of huge waste disposal(处理) in the sky!‎ ‎12. When the star begins to die ______.‎ A. there is no fuel left in it B. a huge explosion will happen C. its outer layer goes into space first D. it doesn't give off light any longer ‎13. Which of the following doesn't help produce a black hole?‎ A. The dying star shines very brightly.‎ B. The light can't go out of the star.‎ C. The star becomes smaller and smaller D. The gravity inside the star is very strong.‎ ‎14. What's the best title for this passage?‎ A. A New Scientific Discovery: Black Holes ‎ B. What Are Black Holes?‎ C. What Are Black Holes? How Do Black Holes Come Into Being?‎ D. Travel Through A Black Hole ‎15. The black hole ______.‎ A. continues becoming smaller and smaller all the time B. goes into another universe and becomes a white hole C. will appear at another place at a different time D. can pull in everything we know of in the world II. 七选五 （共五小题，每题3分，共15分）‎ How to Pick the Perfect Family Tent People like camping. But to ensure everyone has a good time, choosing the right family tent is important. 16 Here's how to choose the perfect tent for your family.‎ First of all, consider the size of the camps. Generally speaking, four-and-six-person tents are popular with families. 17 But a couple of features（特点）can make all the difference. For families with small children, a tent with a single entrance is a better choice. This makes it easier to keep track of who’s coming and going. Of course, two doors can offer added more convenience.‎ Some tents require two full-grown adults to set them up. 18 Be sure to take into account the setup and breakdown needs of any model you’re considering. It may be necessary to go with a smaller model, or even two smaller tents, rather than one large tent for your family.‎ ‎19 Or, if friends have a tent, see if you can borrow it for an overnight in your backyard. You’ll quickly discover what you like and don’t like.‎ As an alternative, many outdoor shops have rental departments. Do your research to determine what style and size you think would work best, and find out if you can rent that model or one that’s similar. Finally, if you are in a rush, ask if you can climb inside the tent at the store. 20‎ A. Getting in and out of the tent sounds basic.‎ B. To save money, you can make one on your own.‎ C. But you can turn to anyone for help when necessary.‎ D. It could be a problem if you’re the only adult when camping.‎ E. Take the tent you are considering out for a “test drive” before you buy.‎ F. It’s your home away from home, and the place where you’ll sleep and relax.‎ G. This will give you a chance to assess all the features up close and in person.‎ III. 完形填空 （共20题，每小题2分，共40分）‎ 阅读下面短文,掌握其大意,然后从各题给的四个选项(A.B.C和D)中,选出最佳答 My dad and I were enemies.

If so, you’re not alone.‎ ‎41 (actual), some scientists believe that people got their love for the smell of rain from 42 (ancestor), who relied on wet weather for their survival.‎ But what makes rain smell so nice? There are several smells associated with rainfall that people find pleasing.‎ One of these smells 43 (call) “petrichor（尘土的味道）.” Petrichor, a term created in 1964 by two Australian scientists studying the smells of 44 (rain) weather, comes from some chemical reactions.‎ During dry periods some plants produce oils, and when it rains, these oils go into the air. Another reaction occurs when chemicals 45 (produce) by some bacteria are sent out. All of these chemicals combine to create the pleasant pertichor smell when rain hits 46 ground.‎ Another smell associated with rain is ozone（臭氧）. During a thunderstorm, lightning can split oxygen and another gad and 47 (it) in turn can combine into a new substance. This substance reacts with other chemicals to form ozone, 48 has a sharp smell.‎ When someone says he can smell rain coming, it may be that wind from an 49 (approach) storm has carried ozone down from the clouds and 50 the man’s nose.‎ 第二节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 下面短文中有10处语言错误。请在有错误的地方增加、删除或修改某个单词。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写上该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写上修改后的词。‎ 注意：1.每处错误及修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎2.只允许修改10处，多者（从第11处起）不计分。‎ Dear Mr. Smith,‎ I’m so gladly to hear from you.
