They are reading, listening, speaking, and writing. The most important thing you must remember is that if you want to improve 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 skillful at your reading, then you can catch up on your listening. Since you have lots of inputs 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 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 automatically(自动地), and you can be sure that with a little effort they will become perfect.‎ ‎21．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.‎ ‎22．The underlined phrase “come across” in the second paragraph can probably be replaced by “________”．‎ A．dislike 　 B. meet C．hear D．look for ‎23．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 .‎ ‎24．The passage is mainly about how to________．‎ A．choose suitable listening materials B．deal with new words in reading C．improve your English as quickly as possible D．become fluent in speaking and writing English ‎ B It'll soon be the birthday of one of my closest friends, Susie. I still cannot decide what to give her. She's a rare friend because she has been there for me all the time whenever I need a friend to talk to. I can always depend on her to be the first to arrive to give me advice when I have problems. I guess I am so lucky to have her as a friend.‎ It's more than seven years since I first met Susie in our school. I joined the theater group and she was a director then. At first I thought she was intimidating（吓人的） but in the end I realized that she needed to keep a strict image（形象） in order for her actors and actresses to take her seriously. And then during practice I got a chance to know her better. In fact, she was a friendly and warm-hearted person. Soon we become good friends.‎ I don't know exactly what to give my friend on her birthday as I believe she has everything. So it's really hard to buy her a gift she will like. This year I want something different and special but I don't know what to give. One day I searched the Internet ‎ without any purpose and to my surprise there is a really lovely site where you can buy all kinds of gifts.‎ I scanned some of their items and I found cool and exciting gifts. I chose a special personalized bracelet（手镯）. I'm sure that this will look perfect on her. I put our names as part of the design of the bracelet so that it'll remind us that we'll forever be friends. I can't wait to give her my gift but I won't tell her yet. I don't want to destroy the surprise.‎ ‎25. Why does the author consider Susie as a rare friend?‎ A. Susie is good at solving problems. ‎ B. She and the author have lots of things to talk about.‎ C. Susie is a friendly and warm-hearted person. ‎ D. She can always offer help when the author is in need.‎ ‎26. Finally the author found a nice gift for her friend_____‎ A. with the help of somebody else B. while going online C. while doing shopping in a store D. without difficulty ‎27. The author wanted to put her and her friend's names in the bracelet in order to _____.‎ A. give her friend a big surprise ‎ B. make the present more special C. remind her friend of their difference between them. ‎ D. make her friend remember their friendship forever.‎ C Paper cutting is one of China's most popular folk arts. Archaeological (考古学上的) finds show that the tradition started in the 6th century; it is even supposed that the beginning of paper cutting is even a few centuries earlier.‎ Paper cuts have special importance at festivals and on holidays. To get rid of the old and bring good luck, people put up paper cuts on the windows on the Eve of the Spring Festival.‎ Paper cuts are not produced by machine, but by hand. They are done all over China, but are different in the method in different areas. There are two methods of making paper cuts—by using scissors（剪刀） or knives. As the name suggests, scissors cuttings are made with scissors. Several pieces of paper (up to eight pieces) are placed together. The patterns are then cut with pointed scissors. Knife cuttings are made by putting several pieces of paper on a table. Following a pattern, the artist cuts the patterns into the paper with a knife.‎ In the past, paper cuts are usually made only by women and girls. They use scissors and paper to cut all kinds of pictures such as apple trees, peach blossoms（桃花）, mice, fighting roosters and rabbits eating carrots.‎ ‎ This used to be one of the skills that every girl was to master. Professional paper cutting artists are, on the other hand, almost always men who can make a living by working together in workshops.‎ ‎28. How long has paper cutting lasted at least?‎ A. About 600 years. B. About 1,500 years.‎ C. About 2,000 years. D. About 2,700 years.‎ ‎29. People put up paper cuts on the windows in order to ________.‎ A. make them look more beautiful B. show others their excellent skills C. bring them good luck in the new year D. sell them on the Eve of the Spring Festival ‎30. What does the third paragraph mainly tell us?‎ A. Two kinds of paper cuts.‎ B. Paper cuts are made by hand.‎ C. Paper cuts are made by machine.‎ D. The process of making paper cuts.‎ ‎31. Paper cuts are usually about ________.‎ A. family members of the artists B. sports and social activities C. fights between animals D. things in our daily life D Nowadays, parents worry because their children spend hours and hours in front of the TV screen. Because this doesn’t happen to only one specific family, many experts warn us that there can be some serious effects of children watching violence on television.‎ Children who become addicted （上瘾的）to TV sit down and turn on the TV as soon as they get home. Although they have lots of homework, they become absorbed in TV programs.‎ Since they spend lots of time watching TV, they have less time to enjoy real life activities such as playing with friends, playing outdoor sports, or enjoying other kinds of entertainment.‎ There are too many violent scenes on TV. Some experts say there are 25 acts of violence per hour on TV. In addition, there are many experiments by psychologists（心理学家） which show how TV violence influences children. Finally, people worry that children are more likely to imitate what they watch on TV and may start to behave more violently.‎ What should be done? First of all, the government should control TV violence. It should also encourage people to invent and develop new technology which can block violent scenes from the programs children watch. For example, with a rating system（分级制度）and the V-chip, unfit scenes of violence can be blocked out. Second, parents should monitor（监督） what their children watch. At the same time, they should make their children interested in real life activities. Then when the children start to spend more time playing with friends or reading books, parents can stop their monitoring.‎ It is a fact that there is more violence on TV today than there was ten years ago. Moreover, violent incidents occur more frequently. It’s time to realize how harmful watching TV violence is, and it’s time to save our children from violence.‎ ‎32. What experts really worry is that _____.‎ A. TV violence has a bad influence on children B. children spend too much time watching TV C. children become addicted to TV programs ‎ D. children have less time to do their homework ‎33.What does the underlined word imitate in Paragraph 4 most probably mean?‎ A. Explain B. Copy C .Ignore D .Avoid ‎34. The author explain how the government should control TV violence by _____.‎ A. making a comparison B. giving a definition ‎ C. giving an example D. presenting research findings ‎35. What is the author’s purpose for writing this text?‎ A. To express his own worries about TV violence.‎ B. To ask parents to take good care of their children.‎ C. To inform readers of the latest situation about TV violence.‎ D. To call on the whole society to save children from violence.‎ 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。‎ After entering high school, you must wonder how to study well. Here are some good skills for you.‎ Go to class. If you want to do well at school, going to class is the first step in studying well. If you miss classes, you will miss what the teacher thinks is important. As a result, you'll miss what is the most likely to end up on the test. 36 .‎ Take good notes.
