I was nervous the night before,but I had no reason to be. Everyone was so friendly and polite. They made me feel at ease. It was like I’d been at the school for a hundred years!‎ The day started very early at 7∶‎00 a.m. had my breakfast downstairs with my mom. She could tell that I was very nervous. Mom kept asking me what was wrong. She told me I had nothing to worry about and that everyone was going to love me. If they didn’t love me，Mom said to send them her way for a good talking to. I couldn’t stop laughing.‎ My mom dropped me off at the school gates about five minutes before the bell. A little blonde(金发的) girl got dropped off at the same time and started waving(招手) at me. She ran over and told me her name was Abigail. She was very nice and we became close straight away. We spent all morning together and began to talk to another girl called Stacey. The three of us sat together in class all day and we even made our way home together! It went so quickly. Our teacher told us that tomorrow we would really start learning and developing new skills.‎ I cannot wait until tomorrow and feel as though I am really going to enjoy my time at my new school. I only hope that my new friends feel the same way too.‎ ‎4. How did the author feel the night before her new school?‎ A. Tired. B. Excited. C. Worried. D. Relaxed.‎ ‎5. What did the author think of her mother’s advice?‎ A. Clear. B. Funny. C. Reasonable. D. Excellent.‎ ‎6. What happened on the author’s first day of school?‎ A. She met many nice people. B. She had a hurried breakfast.‎ C. She learned some new skills. D. She arrived at school very early.‎ ‎7. What can we infer about Abigail?‎ A. She disliked Stacey. B. She was shy and quiet.‎ C. She got on well with the author. D. She was an old friend of the author.‎ C ‎ What would you like to be when you grow up? A teacher? A doctor? An astronaut? What do you need to do to achieve your dream job?‎ ‎ Perhaps you think that studying well and then going on to work hard will get you the successful career you want. We are constantly taught that our hard work will eventually pay off.‎ ‎ But a government survey has shown that hard work is not the only thing that will help you to move up the ladder. Two thirds of people believe that who you know matters more than what you know when it comes to social activity. So are the connections that you have more important than your education?‎ ‎ Seventy-six percent of the people in the survey believed that family background is important in influencing your chances of success. They believe that if you are privileged from birth, you are more likely to have a successful career, especially if your family is wealthy. ‎ ‎ Even if you don't have a privileged background, the people you know can still make a difference to your career. Networking is a skill which is encouraged by many career advisers. Some companies run networking workshops to try and encourage staff to meet other people, to communicate and build relationships. It's a valuable skill.‎ ‎ But the survey also showed something quite interesting. Although most people believed that networks are more important than education, many people put their own career success down to talent, rather than background. 41% of the people said that their parents' income had influenced their life, but at the same time, another 41% believed that they had achieved their own success.‎ So which is more important, what you know or who you know? It seems that by working hard and making lots of connections, the answer may be that both are very important. ‎ ‎8. Which of the following is closest in meaning to the underlined part?‎ A. Practice makes perfect. B. Nothing is impossible.‎ C. Hope for the best. D. No pains, no gains.‎ ‎9. Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?‎ A. 76% of the people think social relationship matters most.‎ B. 41% of the people believe parents' income is most important.‎ C. 76% of the people think family background ranks first.‎ D. 41% of the people believe they gained their own success.‎ ‎10. From the passage we can infer that the writer writes the article to _____.‎ A. stress the importance of education B. challenge the traditional belief C. make lots of social connections D. encourage people to work hard ‎11. Which of the following is the best title for the passage?‎ A. The Way to Success B. Keep your Dream in Mind C. A Wealthy and Smooth Career D. A Survey on People's Dreams D ‎ Most people know something about the greenhouse effect. Factories send gases such as carbon dioxide, or CO2, into the atmosphere, the air around the earth. In the past, this wasn’t a problem because trees absorbed the CO2. But now people in many countries are cutting down billions of trees all around the world. At the same time, factories are sending more CO2 into the atmosphere. It’s difficult to believe, but factories put billions of tons of CO2 into the atmosphere every year. One ton is over 2000 pounds, so it is a lot of pollution. There is too much CO2 and there aren’t enough trees, so the world is getting warmer. In other words, we have a greenhouse effect. This is terrible for the environment.‎ ‎ What can we do about this? First, we can stop using so much coal and oil. We can learn to use different kinds of energy: the sun, wind, steam from volcanoes, and heat from inside the earth. Second, instead of cutting down trees, we should plant more trees. One tree can absorb ten pounds of carbon dioxide every year.‎ ‎ The trees are good for the earth’s atmosphere and for Guatemala(拉丁美洲国家危地马拉). In small towns and ‎ villages in Guatemala, most women are poor and have hard lives. Trees help them in three ways. First, the Connecticut factories pay them to plant the trees. Their pay is corn, not money. The corn is good for their children. Second, these women know a lot about their environment. They know where to plant, when to plant, and what kinds of trees to plant. For example, they plant many fruit trees. The fruit gives them vitamins for their families’ diets. Other trees are good for firewood. In a few years, the women won't spend so much time looking for firewood. Third, all these trees are good for the soil. Now rain can’t wash the soil down from the mountains so easily.‎ ‎ This plan isn’t enough to stop the greenhouse effect. However, it’s a start. The woman of Guatemala are helping themselves and helping their environment.‎ ‎12. Which of the following statement is NOT true? ‎ A. Factories send more CO2 into the atmosphere. ‎ B. Trees can’t absorb the same CO2 as they did in the past. ‎ C. Billions of trees are being cut down throughout the world. ‎ D. The greenhouse effect is extremely bad for the environment. ‎ ‎13. What’s the main idea of the second paragraph? ‎ A. The reasons why we should plant more trees. ‎ B. Ways we can adopt to take heat from volcanoes. ‎ C. Measures to be taken to forbid the use of coal and oil. ‎ D. Things we can do to stop or reduce the greenhouse effect. ‎ ‎14. How does planting trees help improve women’s lives in Guatemala? ‎ A. By preventing the greenhouse effect. ‎ B. By developing their skills of planting trees. ‎ C. By enabling them to earn more money to support their family. ‎ D. By making them get corn and fruit to feed their family in return. ‎ ‎15. What’s the author’s attitude towards the plan of planting trees in Guatemala? ‎ A. Critical. B. Neutral. C. Positive. D. Doubtful.‎ 第二节（共5小题，每题2分，满分10分）‎ 根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项，选项中有两项为多余选项。‎ Everyone knows that fish is good for health. 16 But it seems that many people don’t cook fish at home. Americans eat only about fifteen pounds of fish per person per year, but we eat twice as much fish in restaurants as at home. Buying, storing, and cooking fish isn’t difficult. 17 This text is about how to buy and cook ‎ fish in an easy way．‎ ‎ 18 Fresh fish should smell sweet: you should feel that you’re standing at the ocean’s edge. Any fishy or strong smell means the fish isn’t fresh. 19 When you have bought a fish and arrive home，you’d better store the fish in the refrigerator if you don’t cook it immediately, but fresh fish should be stored in your fridge for only a day or two. Frozen fish isn’t as tasty as the fresh one．‎ There are many common methods used to cook fish． 20 First, clean it and season it with your choice of spices (调料).
