英语考试试卷 考试时间：100分钟 卷面分值：120分 第一部分 阅读理解（共两节，满分40分）‎ 第一节（共15小题；每小题2分，满分30分）‎ A We were late as usual. My husband had insisted on watering the flowers in the garden by himself, and when he discovered that he couldn't manage he asked me for help at the last moment. So now we had an hour to get to the airport. Luckily, there were not many cars or buses on the road and we were able to get there just in time.‎ We checked in and went direct to a big hall to wait for our flight (航班) to be called. We waited and waited but no announcement (通知) was made. We asked for information and the girl there told us that the plane hadn't even arrived yet. In the end there was another announcement telling us that passengers waiting for Flight LJ108 could get a free meal voucher (餐券) and that the plane hadn't left Spain for technical reasons. We thought that meant that it wasn't safe for the plane to fly. We waited again for a long time until late in the evening when we were asked to report again. This time we were given free vouchers to spend the night in a nearby hotel.‎ The next morning after a bad night because of all the planes taking off and landing, we reported back to the airport. Guess what had happened while we were asleep! Our plane had arrived and taken off again. All the other passengers had been woken up in the night to catch the plane, but for some reason or other we had been forgotten. You can imagine how we felt!‎ ‎1. Before leaving for the airport, the author _____.‎ A. helped water the flowers         B. found it hard to start her car C. cleaned the garden by herself D. made a phone call to her husband ‎2. Why didn't the author's plane take off on time?‎ A. The airport was too busy.     B. The weather was terrible.‎ C. Some passengers were late.     D. Something was wrong with it.‎ ‎3. How did the author probably feel the next morning?‎ A. Lucky.         B. Excited.  C. Angry.         D. Nervous.‎ ‎4. What's the main idea of the text?‎ A. It is important to be a polite passenger.‎ B. A couple were left behind at an airport.‎ C. It is dangerous to travel around in a plane.‎ D. More and more airports provide a bad service.‎ B ‎ A famous professor (教授) did a study in a primary school. At the beginning of the school year, teachers were given the names of five children. The teachers were told that these students were the best students in the class while the fact was that these students were only average(中等的). But by the end of the year these five average students scored the highest in the ‎ class. ‎ What made these average students change so much to become top students? The only difference was the change in the teachers’ attitudes (态度). Since the teachers believed that these five kids were the top students, they expected more from them. So these five average students began to expect more from themselves. ‎ You know, if you expect the best from others, they’ll usually want to give you their best. A great leader said, “Treat a person just how he appears to be on the outside, and you’ll make him even worse. But treat a person like he’s already a success, and you’ll help make him the best he can be.”‎ It reminds me of another story of 7-year-old Johnny. His teacher got so tired of him. One day she said, “Johnny, you’re the naughtiest (最淘气的) boy in this class!” The next year Johnny had a different teacher. The new teacher said, “Johnny, I’ve heard a lot about you. But I don’t believe a word of it.” Johnny’s new teacher treated him as if he was one of the smartest, best-behaved students. Well, you guessed it. After just a few months, Johnny became one of the top students in that class. Later on he became a great leader. ‎ Therefore, it’s the power of our love, belief, and encouraging attitude towards our children that matter. ‎ ‎5. The five average students became top students mainly because of________.‎ A. the professor’s help ‎ B. the teachers’ confidence in them C. the change in their teachers’ attitudes towards them D. the change in their attitudes towards their teachers ‎6. Why does the author mention the story of Johnny?‎ A. To show how to make a top student.‎ B. To show how successful Johnny was.‎ C. To show the importance of encouragement.‎ D. To tell the difference between Johnny’s two teachers.‎ ‎7. Which can be the best title for the passage?‎ A. Expect the best B. The power of love C. How to take right attitudes D. Encouragement brings success ‎ C If you want to become a fluent English speaker you should take some advice. There are four skills in learning English. They are reading，listening，speaking and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve（提高） your speaking and writing skills you should first master the skills of reading and listening.‎ Read as much as you can. But your reading must be active. It means that you must think about the meaning of the sentence，the meaning of the unfamiliar words，etc. There is no need for you to pay much attention to grammars or try to understand all the unfamiliar words you come across，but the fact that you see them for the first time and recognize them whenever ‎ you see them，for example in other passages or books，is enough. It would be better to prepare yourself a notebook so you can write down the important words or sentences in it.‎ As for listening，there are two choices：besides reading，you can listen every day for about 30 minutes. You can only pay attention to your reading and become good at your reading，then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of information in your mind，you can easily guess what the speaker is going to say. This never means that you should not practice listening.‎ For listening you can listen to cartoons（动画片） or some movies that are specially made for children. Their languages are easy. Or if you are good at listening you can listen to VOA or BBC programs every day. Again the thing to remember is being active in listening and preferably taking some notes.‎ If you follow these pieces of advice，your speaking and writing will improve，and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.‎ ‎8．According to the author，which should you improve first among the four skills?‎ A．Reading and listening. B．Reading and writing.‎ C．Writing and speaking. D．Speaking and listening.‎ ‎9．To improve your reading，when you read you should .‎ A．look up all the new words in the dictionary ‎ B．think about what you are reading actively C．spend more time studying grammars ‎ D．copy as many words and sentences as possible ‎10．The underlined phrase “come across” in Paragraph 2 can probably be replaced by “ ”．‎ A.meet by accident B.discover C.find on purpose D.look for ‎11．The author seems to agree with the view that .‎ A．everyone should listen to VOA or BBC programs every day B．you needn’t practice listening if you keep on reading every day C．being good at reading is helpful in improving your listening D．you should take notes of whatever you are hearing 　‎ ‎ D That warm day was the only day of the week without rain. I opened the door, took a seat and began to enjoy the wonderful sunshine. Suddenly, I noticed that the house near mine had been sold. An elderly lady was in front of the door, with some beautiful flowers beside her. I walked to her. She looked to be in her early eighties and had the prettiest white hair.‎ ‎“Hi! My name is Karmen,” I said smiling brightly at the old lady. She smiled back and said, “Hello, Karmen. I'm Kitty.” Her voice was very strong for someone at her age. Later, I learned that she was alone and had no family or relatives to help her. From that day on, I often visited her and helped her with her housework and sometimes she gave me some delicious food. A year ‎ passed, and I considered her to be one of my best friends.‎ One day, I walked over for my morning visit and knocked on the door, but there was no answer. I knocked again, and she still didn’t turn up. So I let myself in, using the key she had given me. I checked her living room and then her kitchen. I finally went into her bedroom, and she was lying peacefully on her bed. Beside her there were two notes. One was her will, which said all that she had would be given to me. The other was a thank-you note. I went to her bedside and cried sadly.‎ Though several years has gone by, I still miss her deeply. Whenever I look at the beautiful flowers in front of her house, I remember the wonderful friendship we had.‎ ‎12. Through visiting the old lady, the author learned that the old lady .‎ A. disliked all her relatives ‎ B. had no one to look after her C. didn’t want to live with her family D. was looking for someone to look after her ‎13.How did the author feel when she found the old lady dead?‎ A, upset B. happy C. sad D.moved ‎14. What can we learn from the passage?‎ A. The old lady was not kind.‎ B. The author didn’t have any good friends.‎ C. The old lady didn't know how to make food.‎ D. The author got along very well with the old lady.‎ ‎15. In order to thank the author, the old lady decided to .‎ A. give the author her favorite flowers B. let the author know she was her best friend C. give the author a key to her house D. leave all that she had to the author 第二节（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）    ‎ Six reasons why learning English is So important English may not be the most spoken language in the world, but it is the official language in a large number of countries, 16 The number of people in the world that use English to communicate regularly may be 2 billion!‎ ‎ 17 And it has become almost a necessity for people to speak English if they are to enter a global（全球的） company.
