As one of the youngest students to graduate from a two-year college at the age of 11, Moshe Kai Cavalin has every reason to be proud of h 92 .‎ But Cavalin said, “I feel proud, but not too proud, because it is the enemy of learning.”‎ Cavalin graduated from the East Los Angeles Community College. What surprised m 93 is not only his young age, but his excellent performance: he is one of the three graduates from the college who had a high score.‎ When he first went to the college at the age of 8, professors treated him like a child. But later, he became one of the c 94 and got along pretty well with the other students who were 18 years and older.‎ The 11-year-old college graduate is going to write a book about his secrets on how he graduated from college at 11 w 95 going to primary school and high school. “I want to be a scientist like Albert Einstein,” said Cavalin.‎ Cavalin’s mother Sandy Chien comes from Taiwan, and his father is from Brazil. Chien said her son s 96 his talent (天赋) at the age of two. He learned very fast and liked to watch TV and read children’s books.‎ ‎“I tried to send my son to the elementary school, but I found that he learned too fast and very often he had n 97 to do during the lessons. So I decided to teach him at home.” said Chien.‎ Like many Chinese parents, Chien sent her son to a private school to learn the piano at 4, and later sent him to learn Chinese Kung Fu. At age 7, Cavalin had c 98 high school at home. ‎ Being born in America, English is his mother language. He can also speak French. He likes to play games with friends of the same age. However, he has a good relationship with the students who are 10 years older than him at college.‎ ‎2．Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）‎ Hi Mary,‎ ‎ Thank you for writing to me and I will try to give you some ideas about improving your written English. The bad news, of course, is that there is no e 92 way to do this. It takes work.‎ ‎ Improving your English, like getting better at anything else, means lots of practice. I think you already know enough words and grammar in English to make sentences and to understand English, and the problem you have is as the problem all Chinese students have when they learn English. You go to English class a couple of times a week and the r 93 of the time you speak Chinese. If you come to Canada, your English would improve very q 94 because you would use it all day, every day. It’s just practice.‎ ‎ To improve your writing in English, you should do t 95 things. First, you should try to read English as much as possible. It doesn’t matter what you read, so pick something that interests you. Reading English will show you how English words are used together, how English speakers express themselves and so on, so you can learn a lot from that.‎ 8‎ ‎ Then you should practice writing. Ask your teacher if you can get extra assignments and write things like short stories. Your teacher can show you where you make mistakes and how to c 96 them. You can also write more letters to English speakers on the Internet (I will be happy to exchange letters with you if that will help). Don’t worry if you make mistakes b 97 that is how you learn.‎ ‎ You say you can not obey your plans. In English we say, “Plan the work, work the plan.” You need a plan and then you need to follow your plan to improve.‎ I hope these ideas are u 98 . I wish you luck, and if you want to write to me I will be happy to try to help you. We can talk about China, about Canada or anything else you like. ‎ Best wishes,‎ Brad Flankin ‎3.. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）‎ When Chinese people find out that someone comes from London, they often say, "London is a foggy city, isn't it?" British people who visit China often have to say that London is not a foggy city at all! In fact, London u 92 to be a foggy city, but it isn't any more. 　 In London, lots of its pollution came from factories, but a lot of it came from coal (煤) because people burned it in their houses to keep w 93 during the winter. By the 1950s, London's air pollution had become so bad that the government decided to do something to clean up the air. A new rule was made. It said that n 94 was allowed to burn coal in any British city. Just a few years later, the air became much cleaner. 　 Now many Chinese cities meet the same kind of p 95 with air pollution that London met forty or fifty years ago. However, it is more d 96 for Chinese cities to solve it. First, more of the pollution comes from big factories than from coal that people use in their houses. If these factories are suddenly c 97 , lots of people will lose their jobs. Second, cleaner fuels are quite expensive. However, the air in many cities is already s 98 becoming cleaner, because the government and ordinary people are trying to make pollution less.‎ ‎4.. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分） ‎ Shanghai, a beautiful city during the day, becomes even more wonderful at night. At the end of the day, both the older part of the city around the Bund and the more m 92 buildings in Pudong are full of colorful bright lights. The buildings, both new and old, look c 93 different and very exciting.‎ If you look across the Huangpu River, you can see the brilliant Oriental Pearl TV Tower and the Jinmao Tower. Take a boat a 94 the river and you can see the amazing nightlife on the Bund. There are more than 30 tour boats, including ancient dragon boats in the Ming and Qing styles and boats made in the Shikumen style. If you prefer w 95 in the streets, try the famous Nanjing Road Pedestrian Street (步行街). There are busy shops and cafes ‎ 8‎ and you will see thousands of local people enjoying themselves. Most of the shops close at 10 pm but at that time, teahouses are still open. In fact, some of them are open 24 hours a day. Karaoke bars and coffee houses are also popular nightlife places where you can meet friends and make new o 96 .‎ If you are in Shanghai for the first time, make sure you also visit Xingtiandi, a very popular a 97 where you can see buildings in Western and Chinese style side by side. Xingtiandi is a great place for young people, but it may be a little n 98 for older visitors! A quieter place to visit is Park 97, near the west gate of Fuxing Park, Luwan District. Park 97 opened in 1997 and you can find clubs and international restaurants like Baci where you can get Italian food and Tokyo Joe’s, a Japanese restaurant.‎ ‎5. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）‎ Eyes Can Speak Much meaning can be carried clearly, with our eyes, so it is often said that eyes can speak.‎ Do you have such kind of e 92 ? In a bus you may look at a stranger, but not too long. And if he f 93 that he is being looked at, he may feel uncomfortable. The same is in the daily life. If you are looked at for more than necessary, you will look at y 94 up and down, to see if there is anything wrong with you. If nothing goes wrong, you will feel angry toward the person who is looking at you that way. Eyes do speak, right?‎ Looking too long at someone may seem to be r 95 . But sometimes things are different. If a man looks at a woman for more than 10 seconds, it may mean that he wishes to attract her attention, to make her understand that he loves her. W 96 two people are in a conversation, the speaker will only look at the listener from time to time, in order to make sure that the listener does pay attention to what he or she is speaking. Lovers will enjoy looking at each other or being looked at for a long time, to show something that w 97 cannot express.‎ Clearly, eye contact should be done according to the relationship b 98 two people and the place where you stay.‎ ‎6. . Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）‎ ‎ Test scores make you either happy or sad and your parents pay high attention to your test results. You spend days filling in blanks, trying to make the best a (92) to question after question. Maybe you tried your hardest or maybe you n (93) tried! What you need to remember is that a test is a picture of your ability from just one day. It consists of some pieces including your health, your personality, your interests, and your motivation. You need to look at all the pieces to get a clear i (94) of your progress. So whether your scores are higher than you thought, or l (95) than you had hoped, try not to think of them as what you will be at last. ‎ It probably c (96) you why your scores have become the focus of your life. The purpose of a test is to check how much you have learned about a subject. It not only helps make your newly acquired knowledge forever, but also 8‎ ‎ enables you to find out what needs to spend more time improving. If you’re p (97) with the results, encourage yourself to work for a further aim. If disappointment has overcome you, ask your teacher and your parents to help you set a reasonable goal for improvement. Most exams are about to test your skill in certain subject areas such as math, language and arts. Some compare your skills to other students’ skills from across the country, o (98) just test whether or not you have mastered a specific skill. These scores can be very puzzling…even to adults. You should speak to both your teacher and your parents to find out what they mean in your educational journey. It is important to take a correct attitude towards test scores.‎ ‎ 7.

She was the o 93 one in her school who could play the drums, besides playing the piano and dancing well. “I felt I was very cool at that time.” Wang said. In 2001, Wang Luodan entered the Beijing Film Academy(学院), learning performance. She worked hard as a c 94 student and had great patience. When her classmates became famous, she was not w 95 or disappointed.‎ ‎ Her first TV series was Butterfly in the Air. Because of her sweet appearance, she was chosen for the role of Shan Juan in the TV series Sun Shining like Blossom. In order to play the role well, Wang cut her long h 96 and missed the chance to appear in the movie Qinghong. ‎ ‎ Last year, The TV series My youthfulness was very p 97 . Wang Luodan played Qian Xiaoyang, a confident, lovely and garrulous（喋喋不休的）country girl.

Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words (14分) ‎ Small moments sometimes last a very long time. And a few words — though they mean little at the time to the people who say them — can have great power.‎ ‎ I recently heard a s 92 from Malcolm Davis, who has been a professional writer for the last twenty-four years, mostly in advertising.‎ ‎ As a boy, Davis was t 93 shy and helpless. He had f 94 friends and no self-confidence. Then one day, his high-school English teacher, Ruth White, asked the class to write their own chapter that would f 95 the last chapter of the novel since they had been reading To Kill a Mockingbird. Davis wrote his chapter and turned it 8‎ ‎ in. Today he cannot recall a 96 special about the chapter he wrote, or what grade Mrs. White gave him. However, what he does remember is the four words in the paper: “This is good writing.” Four words. They c 97 his life.‎ ‎ “Until I read those words, I had no idea of who I was or what I was or what I was going to be,” he said, “After reading her note, I went home and wrote a short story, something I had always dreamed of doing but never believed I could do.” Over the r 98 of that year in school, he wrote many short stories and always brought them to Mrs. White for instruction. “She was encouraging, helping and honest. She was just what I needed,” Davis said. ‎ ‎9. . Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）‎ I was in New York and rode with a friend in a taxi. When we got out, my friend said to the driver, “Thank you. You did a good job of driving.” ‎ ‎ The driver was surprised for a second. ‎ ‎ “I admire the way you keep cool in h 92 traffic,” my friend said. “Thank you,” the driver said and drove off. “What was that all about?” I asked.‎ ‎ “I am trying to bring l 93 back to New York,” he said. “I believe it can save the city.”‎ ‎ “How can one man save New York?” ‎ ‎ “It’s not one man. S 94 the driver has 20 passengers. He’s going to be nice to those 20 people because someone was nice to him. Those people in turn will be kinder to their employees (雇员), or shopkeepers, or waiters, or their own families. At last the goodwill could s 95 to at least 1,000 people. If I can make three people happy, then finally I can change the attitudes (态度) of 3,000 people.” “It sounds good,” I said, “but I’m not sure whether it would work in practice.” ‎ ‎ “Nothing is lost if it doesn’t. It didn’t take a 96 of my time or money to tell that man he was doing a good job. I have made a study of this. The thing that seems to be lacking (缺乏) for the postal employees is that no one tells the people who work for the post office what a good job they’re doing,” he said.‎ ‎ “B 97 they’re not doing a good job,” I said. “They’re not doing a good job because they feel nobody cares whether they do a good job or not. Why not say a kind word to them? When those people hear my words, they will feel better. The city will benefit from their h 98 . If more people join me, the city will become a better place,” he said. ‎ ‎10. Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（14分）‎ The ancient Greeks were great builders and thinkers.
