Many rock stars are smart enough to know that it’s cool to go to a top-rated school.

Every one of my pores (毛孔) was filled with sweat, but I couldn’t stop. They were close behind. I could not, I would not go back. They only saw my black skin and did not know of the human soul - 19 - / 19‎ ‎ that lived under by flesh.‎ ‎ The sound of the dogs came closer. I hid myself in the shadows beneath the trees above me, thankful for the first time for my black skin. My bare feet bled. The moonlight threatened to give me away. Its brightness seemed to make fun of me as I ran. Even the moon was white. The whole world seemed to be made for people with a white surface. Suddenly I fell down to the forest floor. My legs begged me not to make them run. I ignored them and desperately tried to escape and run away from these evil people, the moon, and my own dark skin. ‎ ‎ It was a failed attempt. I had hardly ran ten steps when the dogs’ teeth were in my face. Tears burned my face, tears of anger, hate, and fear. “Please!” I begged. “Please let me go!” My breath was short, and my whole body was filled with blood. I stopped for breath. “Actually we’re all the same! That’s what really matters! Please let me go.” ‎ ‎ “Let you go?” a man laughed. “How could it be? You were born to serve us.” They laughed as they marched along, pulling me by a long rope like a dog. I was exhausted after running for days and I could feel that blood was flowing down my body. At last, I fell down in the grass, covered with blood. My soul moved away from my body and I was free at last. ‎ - 19 - / 19‎ ‎25.

Why not get into shape by playing the most popular sport in the world — soccer?‎ Two weeks ago, Ms. Goldstein, the physical education teacher,‎ - 19 - / 19‎ ‎ posted a notice about an exciting new soccer club (for Grades 3-5). To join, all you have to do is sign your name and be at school for the fun of it on Saturday mornings. You'll make new friends and share information about famous teams and players.‎ Ms. Goldstein will teach, so you'll learn basic skills and new techniques to improve your game. That's good news because soccer is a game you can love three seasons a year. The only time you can't play is when there is snow.‎ However, it is hard to believe that only nineteen people signed up for the new club. Maybe kids don't want to give up their Saturday mornings. But if you think about how we spend Saturday mornings now, soccer looks good. Doing housework and watching TV are not as much fun as playing soccer with friends. If you didn't sign up because you've never played soccer before, don't worry. Beginners are welcome and Ms. Goldstein will give you more help.‎ Just act now! The equipment is cheap. All you have to bring is your feet.‎ The Students' Union ‎29.

The author writes the text mainly to _____.  ‎ A. talk about how to be an excellent player B. encourage the students to join a soccer club C. advise the students to take more exercise D. introduce Ms. Goldstein to the students ‎ D Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for ten to fifteen minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for sixty - 19 - / 19‎ ‎ to seventy minutes a day － which really is pretty much for handwriting.    ‎ Many adults remember learning that way － by copying letters over and over again. Today's thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.    ‎ Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency － writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.    But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.    ‎ But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive(草写体), which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75% ‎ - 19 - / 19‎ of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive. ‎ ‎32.From Paragraph 1 we can learn ________.‎ A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job B. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting C. teachers spend little time in teaching handwriting D. a keyboard has taken the place of the handwriting entirely ‎33.The underlined word “legibility” in Paragraph 3 means ________.‎ A. being easy to read       B. being complex C. being unexpected       D. being unreadable ‎34.The best title for the passage is ________.‎ A. How to improve handwriting in school B. Right or wrong: the death of handwriting C. Handwriting involves two skills D. Handwriting lessons are on the way out ‎35. The author’s attitude towards whether still to learn handwriting in school is________. A. negative   B. objective C. critical   D. optimistic 七选五：I know that something you get that sense from TV that you can be rich and successful without any hard work---your ticket to success is through rapping or basketball or being a - 19 - / 19‎ ‎ reality TV star . 36 ‎ The truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject that you study. 37 Not every homework assignment will seem completely relevant to your life right at this minute. And you won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time your try.‎ That’s okay. 38 J. K. Rowling---- who wrote Harry Potter---her first Harry Potter book was rejected 12 times before it was finally published. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team. He lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over again in my life. And that’s why I succeed.‎ These people succeeded because they understood the secret of success ---you can’t let your failures define you. 39 You have to let them show you what to do differently the next time. So if you get into trouble, that doesn’t mean you are a troublemaker, it means you need to try harder to act right. 40 ‎ A. If you get a bad grade, that doesn’t mean you’re stupid, it just means you need to spend more time studying.‎ B. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who have had the most failures.‎ C. You have to let your failures teach you.‎ - 19 - / 19‎ D. You won’t get along well with every teacher that you have.‎ E. So many of you dream of being successful by hard work.‎ F. Failures can lead you to success.‎ G. Chances are you’re not going to be any of those things.‎ 第三部分：完形填空（30分） ‎ What’s on your life card?‎ ‎ There’s a book where the author, Elizabeth, suggests that everyone have a life card. This is 41 to a business card, but instead of listing what you do for a living, it 42 things that have happened in your 43 that you don’t want to explain, but would like people to 44 before dealing with you.‎ ‎ Elizabeth’s first child, her son, was born still and she writes about her 45 . She talks about having to deal with insensitive (不顾他人感受的) comments and 46 conversations with others who didn’t know of what 47 and how she wished she had her 48 life card that said her first child had died.‎ ‎ Wouldn’t this be great?

With this 52 , others could be more careful with their 53 so they didn’‎ - 19 - / 19‎ t cause unintentional harm. ‎ ‎ But we don’t all have life cards. Instead we must bear these 54 from others who don’t know or 55 . Perhaps this makes us stronger or at the very least we 56 to guard our hearts. ‎ ‎ What it does 57 us is that we need to keep the idea of life cards in 58 when dealing with others.
