I don’t think so! Andy is the best. I went to his concert last year. It was so wonderful. I almost cried! OK, I did cry, but that’s because Andy is so handsome!‎ Li Tao I don’t agree with Jim. Andy sounds like every other singer. His voice is nothing special. On the other hand, Jacky’s voice is different from others, and his songs are so romantic (浪漫的).‎ Linda I think they’re about the same. But Andy is a better actor. I’ve seen almost all of his movies. Remember the one where he was a pilot and his plane crashed (坠毁) near a farm? I love that movie!‎ Zhang Fang I also think Jacky is a better singer. I prefer his Cantonese (粤语) songs. Maybe they sound better because Cantonese is his first language.‎ Liu Ying I agree. Jacky’s Cantonese songs are better than his Mandarin (普通话) songs, though I still like all his songs!‎ ‎47. How many students are talking about Andy and Jacky? ‎ ‎ A. 3. B. 4. C. 5. D. 6.‎ ‎48. ____ thinks Andy is the best Chinese singer.‎ ‎ A. Jim B. Li Tao C. Linda D. Zhang Fang ‎49. Linda likes Andy’s ____ very much.‎ A. movies B. voice C. language D. songs B Rose sat behind Kate in the classroom. They got on well with each other. But one day, Rose didn’t see her school IC card at lunch time. She asked her classmates and looked for it everywhere. But she couldn’t find it. Later, one girl said that she saw Kate take a card from Rose’s desk. Hearing this, Rose got very angry.‎ When she met Kate in the afternoon, Rose shouted, “You have stolen my card!” Hearing this, Kate began to cry, “No, no, I didn’t steal it! I only took it by mistake.” But Rose didn’t think so and she began to say bad words to Kate. ‎ Just then a teacher came up and asked what had happened. Kate told the whole story. She said a middle school classmate of hers came to see her in the morning. She was so excited that she took the card on the desk and rushed out. Then they went for lunch happily. “I used the card, but I had thought it was mine. I didn’t know it was Rose’s until she looked for it. I was too afraid to explain it to her. So I decided to put the card back with some money secretly. I am sorry, Rose.” Kate said in a low voice.‎ ‎“It’s just a misunderstanding (误会)!” said the teacher. Tears came into Rose’s eyes. Then she said, “I was very sorry, Kate! I hope we are still good friends.” Kate smiled when she heard the words. Hand in hand, they walked toward the classroom building.‎ ‎50. Rose was very ____ when she heard someone took her IC card away.‎ ‎ A. quiet B. sorry C. excited D. angry ‎ ‎51. Kate didn’t find her mistake until ____.‎ ‎ A. she finished lunch B. Rose looked for the card ‎ C. one girl told her D. the teacher asked her ‎52. From the end of the story, we can learn that Rose and Kate would ____.‎ ‎ A. be good friends again B. say sorry to the teacher ‎ C. go on fighting later D. explain more to each other C Knowing how to ask for information and help politely is important. In English, “Where are the restrooms?” and “Could you please tell me where the restrooms are?” are similar requests (请求) — both are correct English, but the first could sound rude. It’s important to use correct language, but sometimes this alone is not enough — we need to learn how to be polite when we make requests.‎ In English, just like in Chinese, we change the way we speak when talking with different people. The expressions you use might depend on whom you are speaking to or how well you know them. If you say to your teacher, “Where is my book?” this will sound rude. But if you say, “Excuse me, Mr West. Do you know where my book is?” your question will sound much more polite. On the other hand, it might be alright to say “Where is my book?” to the people you know well.‎ And you would not usually say, “Peter, lend me your pen.” A very direct order like this can sound rude in English. Usually in English polite questions are longer and include extra (附加的) language, such as “Could you please...?” or “Can I ask...?” It sounds more polite to say, “Peter, could you please lend me your pen?” If you stop a stranger in the street, we might first say, “Excuse me. I wonder if you can help me.” or “I’m sorry to trouble you but…” before asking him for help.‎ It might seem that speaking politely is more difficult than being direct, and in a way this may be true.‎ ‎53. When we make requests, we need to speak in a ____ way.‎ A. polite B. careful C. different D. direct ‎54. You should say “____” when you ask a stranger for a way.‎ ‎ A. Which is the way to the zoo? ‎ B. How can I get to the zoo?‎ ‎ C. Do you know the way to the zoo? ‎ D. Excuse me. Can you tell me the way to the zoo?‎ ‎55. Which of the following is true according to the passage? ‎ ‎ A. We should use long sentences when we ask for information and help.‎ ‎ B. When we ask for help from others, polite language must be used.‎ ‎ C. The way of speaking is important when we ask different people for help. ‎ ‎ D. In English, polite questions are as neccessary as rude and direct ones.‎ D The best tool you can use in communicating with parents is ‎ to keep talking to them, no matter what. Strong relationship (关系) depend heavily on keeping the lines of communication open. Try to talk about everyday things with your parents. That doesn’t mean telling them everything. In fact, turn the focus onto them for a change: Ask about their day — just as they do with you. ‎ David, 16, is a senior school student. One evening, after he mentioned at dinner that he was thinking of trying out for the school play, his mom kept asking about it for weeks. And later, it also felt like she was getting too involved (参与) in something he wanted to do himself. Instead of telling his mom how he felt, David decided it would be easier not to tell her anything he was doing in the future. ‎ A good way to get a parent to ask fewer questions is to offer some information on your own. This puts the communication in your hands. The more you keep a parent told about everyday things, the less they need to ask. Communicating everyday things has another advantage: It can show your parents that you’re responsible enough to make good decisions. ‎ It won’t always be easy. You may get frustrated (受挫) at times. But try not to give up. It may take a bit for a parent who is used to making all the decisions to adjust (适合) to the independent-thinking person their child is becoming. Parents also don’t want to see their sons and daughters suffer (受苦) if the choices they make on their own aren’t the “right” ones. To many parents, it seems easier to step in and take control simply because they believe their years of experience put them in a better position to make decisions. If you feel that’s the case (情况) with your parents, talk to them about it.‎ ‎56. The underlined part “turn the focus onto them” probably means ____.‎ ‎ A. talk the things about them B. have a good time with them ‎ C. show your thanks to them D. do something good for them ‎57. In the third paragraph, you are advised to ____.‎ A. let your parents know everything about your daily life B. tell your parents more information before you are asked C. keep your parents asking you more questions of your things D. be responsible to help your parents make good decisions ‎58. What causes parents to take control of children?‎ A. They find their children wrong. ‎ B. They do well in almost everything.‎ C. They think they can make better decisions.‎ D. They are used to making choices for children.‎ ‎59. The main idea of the passage is how to ____.‎ A. make decisions on your own B. learn from your parents C. think carefully for yourself D. communicate with parents 七、阅读短文,根据短文内容,从短文后面的五个选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。(共8分,每小题2分)‎ Health And Exercise Are you healthy? To find out, ask yourself some questions: Do I exercise every day? Do I ever walk places instead of taking a car or a bus? Do I ever play sports for fun? Do I ever take the stairs instead of the elevator? 60 , you are probably unhealthy and need to start a fitness program (健康计划).‎ Exercise is very important. It gives you more energy. 61 , and it can also help control your weight.‎ The first step is to make a plan. A good plan should be fun. It should include (包括) both your arms and your legs, and it should help you to build the ability to do exercise for a long time. 62 , first you should think about the kinds of activities you like to do, what you think you are able to do, and when you will have time to do it.
