I opened my eyes and looked at the clock. "Oh dear! It's a quarter to eight already. I'll be late for school ‎ again," I thought. I jumped out of the bed, washed my face, then hurried to the bus stop without breakfast. As soon as I got on the bus, it started running. "I'm sure I can get to the school on time," I said to myself. Suddenly the bus stopped. The bus driver got off the bus, then got on the bus again and said, "I'm sorry, ladies and gentlemen. There's something wrong with the bus. Please get off the bus and wait for another one." "I couldn't wait. The school is not far. I'd better run to the school," I thought, and then I began to run. But before I got to the school, it began to rain hard.‎ ‎　　I reached the classroom but I was wet shivering with cold. The physics teacher had already begun his lesson. It was Mr. Smith. He was about fifty years old. All the students were a little afraid of him and so was I. I liked neither him nor his physics lessons. I hesitated for a moment and then I opened the door. "I'm very sorry, Mr. Smith. I'm late again," I said with a red face.‎ ‎　　"It's you again, Jim," Mr. smith said angrily. "I've told you not be late, but you…" he suddenly stopped and looked at my wet clothes. He turned to the class and said, "I'm very sorry, my boys and girls." With these words he quickly took off his own jacket and handed it to me. "Now take off your wet coat and put this one or you'll catch cold," he said kindly.‎ ‎　　I went to my seat with Mr. Smith's jacket on. It was a bit large for me but I felt very warm in it. I found, for the first time, physics was so interesting and how well I could understand it!‎ ‎　 6.

From the story, we can learn that _______.‎ ‎　　A. students can't be late for school ‎　　B. students can learn better if teachers love them ‎　　C. physics is easy if you like the physics teachers ‎　　D. you'll catch cold if your clothes are wet C When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings. Week by week her list grew: I was very thin, I wasn’t a good student, I talked too much, I was too proud, and so on. I tried to hear all this as long as I could. At last, I became very angry. I ran to my father with tears in my eyes. ‎ He listened to me quietly， then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like ? Well, you now have that girl’s opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.” ‎ I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldn’t change (like being very thin), but a good number I could—and suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself. ‎ I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it.“That’s just for you,” he said. “You ‎ know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you know is the right thing to do.” ‎ Daddy’s advice has returned to me at many important moments. In my life, I’ve never had a better piece of advice. ‎ ‎10. What did the father do after he had heard his daughter’s complaint? ‎ A. He told her not to pay any attention to what her “enemy” had said. ‎ B. He criticized her and told her to overcome her shortcomings. ‎ C. He told her to write down all that her“ enemy” had said about her and pay attention only to the things that were true. ‎ D. He refused to take the list and have a look at it. ‎ ‎11. Why did her father listen to her quietly? ‎ A. Because he believed that what her daughter’s “enemy” said was mostly true. ‎ B. Because he had been so angry with his daughter’s shortcomings that he wanted to show this by keeping silent for a while. ‎ C. Because he knew that his daughter would not listen to him at that moment. ‎ D. Because he wasn’t quite sure which girl was telling the truth. ‎ ‎12. Which do you think would be the best title for this passage? ‎ A. Not an Enemy, but the Best Friend ‎ B. The Best Advice I’ve Ever Had ‎ C. My Father ‎ D. My Childhood ‎ D In order to know a foreign language thoroughly ，four things are necessary. First, we must understand the language when we hear it spoken.

We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.‎ There is no short way to succeed in language learning.

If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.‎ ‎13.The most important things to learn a foreign language are .‎ ‎ A. understanding and speaking B. hearing, speaking, reading and writing ‎ C. writing and understanding D. memorizing and listening ‎14.

Be Optimistic. ‎ ‎ There is nothing better than having a smile on your face whenever you can. 18 Don’t be afraid to make friends, don’t get aggressive or personal with anyone and treat others the way you want to be treated. Respect your teachers and classmates and try to be helpful if you want the same in return. ‎ ‎ 4. Be Confident. ‎ ‎ When you believe in yourself, others believe in you. Talk, walk and address people confidently and this will create a strong image about you. 19 Be creative and unique and learn to set trends. Confidence is one quality you grow with, and people respect you for that. ‎ ‎ 5. Love High School. ‎ ‎ 20 Make the most out of it, and you will never get those moments back. Come up with frank ideas, get a detention, top your class, make the best friends, drink, go to prom, party, but just make as many memories as you can!‎ ‎ With these tips to survive high school, you will surely be proud of graduating as an all-round approaching adult carrying the best roots.

It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist in this practice, gradually we’ll learn how 42 （express）ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 43 (difficult). In the first place, it often happens that we have trouble in 44 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 45 (be)‎ ‎ many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English 46 (proper).‎ ‎ As far as I am 47 (concern), my suggestion is 48 we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary within easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher 49 help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for 50 development of our writing skills.‎ 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）‎ 第一节：短文改错（共10题；每小题1分，满分10分）‎ Dear Mary, I receive your E-mail just now.
