Nearly two hundred of us stood at attention. We were very excited that on this day, we would finally begin the “hands-on” part of flight training. We had been through thirteen tough weeks of basic training.‎ That morning, we were delighted to wait for the moment to climb into the training plane to actually begin learning to fly. Each of us was convinced that we would soon fly “above the best”. ‎ As we stood facing the officers, waiting for instructions, a tiny bird jumped out in front of us. It seemed confused and a little frightened. Suddenly, its mother flew over, as if encouraging it to fly. Everyone’s eyes followed the birds. Even our officers turned to watch, mesmerized by the scene.‎ Over and over, the tiny bird ran as fast as its little legs could move, but it still failed to fly into the sky no matter how hard it had tried. ‎ Completely ignoring the crowd of staring bystanders, the mother bird went on flying to and encouraging her little bird. All two hundred of us watched breathlessly. Each time it made its way across the grass in front of us, we sighed at its failure.‎ Finally, after we had stood at attention for what seemed like hours just watching, those tiny wings could fly at last. You could almost see the little bird feel very pride. Then, we burst into wild cheers. We watched, as the little bird followed its mother to fly into the sky. Our officers turned back to us, smiling. We learned a lot from the little bird.‎ ‎5. Why was the author excited before his flight training?‎ ‎ A. Some birds would accompany him during the training.‎ ‎ B.

The best flight lesson ‎ ‎ C For many teenagers, one of the hardest questions to answer is, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The question you might have is, “How should I know?”‎ Almost every successful adult went through a totally unplanned path to get his or her present job. For example, you might know someone who has a great job as a news host on TV. When you ‎ ask him how he got to be a news host, he might tell the following story to you.‎ ‎“Well, when I went to college, I really wanted to be an artist, but I ended up having to take a required class in computer programming. I worked for IBM and didn’t like it, and then began working for a small company. They got a project with a TV station. One day I got a chance to meet the news host for the station. He liked my voice and suggested I go to broadcasting school. I did that at night for two years. Then one thing led to another and now I am a news host.”‎ If you talk to ten successful adults, nine of them will have totally unbelievable stories like this.‎ So, in picking your major and choosing your own career(职业), one approach is to find something you like doing, major in it in college and get a job. Then wait for new opportunities. Take them when they arise. Another approach would be to do some research on different career possibilities so that you can see what’s out there. There are thousands of jobs that you have never even heard of before, and one of them might be perfect for you.‎ ‎9.The first paragraph of the text is used to ________.‎ A. introduce the topic B. compare different opinions C. give some advice D. list examples ‎10.The news host’s story tells us that _______.‎ A. people’s life is full of uncertainties and changes B. knowing our own interest is the key to success C. chances are very important at times ‎ D. it is not easy to find a favourite job ‎11.In choosing a career, the author advises us to _________.‎ A. learn from successful people B. get a job according to our interest C. do the job we have never heard of before D. try our best to do different jobs ‎12.What is the main purpose of the text?‎ A. To explain how to plan for one’s future B. To suggest the ways of choosing a career C. To tell successful people’s stories ‎ D. To emphasize the importance of chances D It is common to have difficulty sleeping during the day. Humans usually sleep best at night and are awake during the day. However, modern work schedules require some people to try to get used to the unnatural schedule of shift (轮班) work — being awake at night and sleeping during the day. ‎ In order to make this adjustment, you need to pay special attention to your sleep environment and your preparation for sleep. If shift work is a necessary part of your work life, here are some suggestions that may help. ‎ Arrange to sleep in a quiet, dark room. This means you may have to turn off your phone, hang dark curtains on the windows or wear a sleep eye mask, and train your family and friends to leave you alone while you sleep.‎ Fit in a nap (小睡). When your daytime sleep period is too short, taking a short nap of less than 30 minutes just before work or during a break has been shown to improve performance. ‎ Develop and follow a sleep routine. It’s best if you go to sleep and wake up at the same time ‎ every day. Try not to vary this too much on weekends. Your body likes routine. ‎ Take extra care to make healthy choices. You may have a desire to reach for unhealthy foods to stay awake or alcohol to try to sleep. But these choices are more harmful than helpful.‎ If you have tried all these methods and are still having problems getting enough quality sleep during the day, talk to your doctor or a sleep specialist. Sometimes medications (药物治疗) may be helpful and safe. In other cases, there may be a potential sleep disorder. ‎ ‎13. The purpose of the text is to .‎ ‎ A. persuade workers to have a good sleep B. advise night workers to keep healthy ‎ C. encourage workers to do day work D. help night workers to sleep well ‎14. On which condition should a person turn to a sleep specialist for help?‎ ‎ A. If he suffers from a sleep disorder for the first time.‎ ‎ B. If a good sleep environment is greatly needed for him.‎ ‎ C. If he fails to get quality sleep through his own efforts.‎ ‎ D. If he has the problem of failing to sleep in the daytime.‎ ‎15. We can learn from the text that .‎ ‎ A. night workers need a long time to fall asleep ‎ B. constant breaks at work help to improve performance ‎ C. it is difficult to create a good sleep environment ‎ D. night work requires people to adjust their body clocks 第二节 (共5小题；每小题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。‎ How would you like to fly through the Grand Canyon（大峡谷） or take an adventure through the human body? This is what some elementary school students in Dallas, Texas, get to do in their classes. 16 ‎ A special machine makes the lessons come to life with the help of a computer chip. 17 . It is made up of many tiny mirrors. New computer technology joins 3-D movies. Lessons in 3-D can turn learning into an adventure. ‎ The students look forward to the lessons and say that they remember them better than non-3-D lessons. “It’s easier to learn because you can remember all the stuff, and it’s more fun to learn,” said one student. 18 They said that students of all different learning levels can enjoy the 3-D lessons. Brittany Russo, one of the teachers, pointed out that the most advanced students in her class are no longer bored. 19 ‎ Vera Johnson, a fifth-grade science teacher, said that she enjoys the science and math lessons best. She pointed out that students who get to see a 3-D movie understand the subject quicker. 20 “You can’t really go up and see the solar system,” Johnson says, “but that is the next best thing.”‎ A. The teachers have good things to say about it, too.‎ B. 3-D movies can help students develop acting abilities.‎ C. They watch 3-D movies that go with many of their lessons.‎ D. She also likes the videos about outer space.‎ E. 3-D movies are especially popular among the youth.‎ F. The chip is called a DLP chip.‎ G. And the students who struggle with subjects are able to understand them better now.‎ 第二部分 英语知识运用（共两节，满分45分）‎ 第一节 完形填空（共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分）‎ 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C、D）中，选出最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。‎ There once lived a young man who wanted to become wealthy.

It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 44 (difficulty). In the first place, 45 often happens that we have trouble 46 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English 47 (proper).‎ As far as I  48 (concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. 49 something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is 50 great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.‎ 第三部分 写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节 短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ 假定英语课上老师要求同桌之间交换修改作文，请你修改你同桌写的以下作文。文中共有10处语言错误，每句中最多有两处。每处错误仅涉及一个单词的增加、删除或修改。‎ 增加：在缺词处加一个漏字符号（∧），并在其下面写出该加的词。‎ 删除：把多余的词用斜线（）划掉。‎ 修改：在错的词下划一横线，并在该词下面写出修改后的词。‎ 注意：1. 每处错误及其修改均仅限一词；‎ ‎ 2. 只允许修改10处，多着（从第11处起）不计分。‎ This morning I got up early and went to school as usually.

For example, it is convenient to carry and eat it. Besides, it can be preserved for a long time. However, we should be aware of the problems associated with packaged food. First, the preservative in packaged food might be harmful to our health. Second, some inferior package material will directly pollute the food. Moreover, the used packages will pollute the environment.‎ Personally I think packaged food is convenient, but we can’t ignore its harmful effects.‎
