Ever since I was a five-year-old girl, I wrote stories in my notebooks and on small pieces of paper. I told stories to my friends. As a grown-up, I have written over 100 books! That's a lot! As a teacher, it's my goal to encourage all of my students to love to write. Writing is easy if you're careful enough, I told them. Everyone I meet is a possible character. Everything I see or do is a possible scene in a book. Start looking around you. You'll be amazed at what you discover. Anyone can be a writer. You just put your pencil on your paper and write what you like to read, step by step: ● Create great characters. If you know your characters well, they'll write the story for you. ● Interest the reader right at the beginning. You can start your stories with dialogue or action. If you can make the reader ask questions, then he has to keep reading to find out the answers. ● Follow the steps. The steps for every story are almost the same: Introduce the characters and the conflict; things get worse; all seems lost; the hero saves the day! ● Balance is the key. Remember, when writing, it doesn't hurt to add some humor. 21. What did the writer begin to do when she was five years old? A. Tell stories to her family. B. Collect stories. C. Write stories. D. Play with paper. 22. How many steps are mentioned about writing according to this passage? A. 5. B. 4. C. 3. D. 2. 23. What does the passage mainly talk about? A. Anyone can be a writer. B. Writing is interesting. C. Asking questions is very important. D. A girl loves writing. B Londoners are great readers. They buy large numbers of newspapers, magazines and books — especially paperbacks (平装书), which are still cheap in spite of everincreasing rises in the costs of printing. They still continue to buy “proper” books, too, printed on good paper. There are many streets in London containing shops which specialize in bookselling. Perhaps the best known of these is Charing Cross Road in the very heart of London. Here bookshops of all sorts and sizes are to be found, from the celebrated one which is said to be “the biggest bookshop in the world” to the tiny, dusty little places which seem to have been left over from Dickens' time. Some of these shops stock, or will make efforts to get, any kind of book, but many of them specialize in secondhand books, in art books, in foreign books, in books on economics, politics or any other subjects about which books may be written. One shop in this area specializes only in books about ballet. Although it may be the most convenient place for Londoners to buy books, Charing Cross Road is not the cheapest. For really cheap secondhand books, collectors must venture_off_the_beaten_track to Farringdon Road, in the East Central district of London. Here there is nothing so impressive as bookshops. The booksellers come along each morning and put lots of books onto small handcarts ( 手 推 车 ) which line the streets. The collectors, some professionals and some amateurs, who have been waiting for them, run quickly towards the books. In places like this one can still, occasionally, pick up for a few pence an old book that may be worth many pounds. 24．“Londoners are great readers” means that ________. A. Londoners read a lot B. Londoners are readers who read only great books C. there are a great number of readers in London D. Londoners are great because they read a lot 25．According to this passage, Charing Cross Road ________. A. is the busiest street in London B. contains various kinds of shops C. is famous for its bookshops D. is in the suburbs of London 26．In this passage, what does the underlined part “venture off the beaten track” mean? A. Waste time looking for books. B. Take a risk of losing one's life. C. Buy books in a most busy street. D. Move away from a busy street. 27．The best topic for this passage is “________”． A. Charing Cross Road B. bookshops in London C. the biggest bookshop in the world D. buying books in London C Good health is the most valuable thing a person can have but one cannot take good health for granted. It is important to remember that the body needs proper care in order to be healthy. There are three things that a person can do to help stay healthy, eating right food, getting enough sleep, and exercising regularly. Proper nutrition is important for good health. Your body cannot work well unless it receives the proper kind “fuel”. Don’t eat too much food with lots of sugar and fat. Eat plenty of foods high in protein, like meat, fish, eggs and nuts. Vegetables and fruits are very important because they provide necessary vitamins and minerals. However, don’t overeat. It is not helpful to be overweight. Getting the proper amount of sleep is also important. If you don’t get enough sleep, you feel tired and easily get angry. You have no energy. Over a long period of time a little amount of sleep may even result in a change of personality. Be sure to allow yourself from seven to nine hours of sleep each day. If you do, your body will feel strong and refreshed, and your mind will be sharp. Finally, get plenty of exercise. Exercise makes the body stronger, strengthens the muscles, and prevents you from gaining weight. It also improves your heart and lungs. If you follow a regular exercise program, you will probably increase your life-span(寿命). Any kind of exercise is good. Most sports are good for keeping the body in good shape: basketball, swimming, bicycling, running and so on. Sports are not only good for your body, but they are enjoyable and interesting, too. If everybody were to eat the right foods, get plenty of sleep and exercise regularly, the world would be a happier and healthier place. We would all live to be much older and wiser. 28. In order to keep good health _________. A. we should eat much sugar and fat B. we must overeat vegetables and fruits C. we should take in proper nutrition D. we need a large amount of meat 29. Eating more and sleeping less ________. A. does harm to our health B. gets us more energy C. make us healthier D. helps keep our personality 30. In the 4th paragraph, the writer wants to tell us ________. A. how we can increase your life-span B. how important it is for us to take exercise C. how we can strengthen our muscles D. how enjoyable and interesting sports are 31. The best title for the article should be “__________” A. Exercising Regularly B. Eating and Exercising C. Sleeping Enough D. Staying Healthy D Johnson went to Penquay for the weekend. He arrived there late on Friday evening. The landlady of the guest house，Mrs. Smith，answered the door and showed him to his room. Johnson was very tired and went straight to bed. He slept well and didn’t wake up until nine o’clock the next morning. Johnson went downstairs for breakfast. Because there were no other guests，Mrs. Smith invited him to have breakfast with her family. Her only daughter，Catherine，about 13，was already sitting in the diningroom. Mrs. Smith went to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. Johnson noticed there were four places at the table and asked Catherine if there was another guest. Catherine told him that it was an empty place. And it used to be her father’s place. Her father had been a fisherman. Three years before he had gone out in his boat，and had never returned. Her mother always kept that place for him and made his breakfast every morning. Catherine showed him his photo on the wall. Johnson said nothing，but looked very puzzled．At that moment Mrs. Smith returned. She served four cups of tea，and put one in the empty place. Looking at the empty chair，Johnson was more puzzled. Suddenly，Johnson heard footsteps outside the door and a tall man with a black beard walked into the room. Johnson looked scared. It was the man in the photo. He jumped up and ran out of the room. The man asked，“What’s the matter？” Catherine said，“I don’t know. He’s a guest from London. He’s here because a tall man with a black beard tried to kill him.” “Catherine，” the man said，“Have you been telling stories again？” “Stories，father? Me？” the girl laughed. 32. Why did Mrs. Smith invite Johnson to have breakfast with her family? A. He was the only guest on that day. B. There was an empty place at the table. C. Her daughter wanted to talk with him. D. He woke up too late for his breakfast. 33. Who was the tall man with a black beard? A. Johnson’s enemy B. Another guest C. A friend of the family D. Catherine’s father 34. What does the underlined word “scared” in Paragraph 3 probably mean? A. Upset. B. Frightened. C. Excited. D. Calm. 35. What can we infer from the passage? A. Mrs.Smith does not love her husband. B. Johnson may be killed by the man. C. Catherine is fond of telling stories. D. Catherine’s father got lost on the sea. 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。 Life is just like a box. Inside it are happiness and sorrow, failure and success, hope and despair. Life is a learning process. Experiences in it teach us new lessons and make us a better person. Love Love plays a key role in our life. Love makes you feel wanted. Without love a person could become cruel and violent. In the early stage of our life, our parents are the ones who show us with unconditional love and care. They tell us what is right or wrong, good or bad. 36 . It is only after marriage and having kids that a person understands and becomes sensitive to the feelings of others. Kids make a person responsible and mature and help us to understand life better. Happiness and sorrow Materialistic happiness is shortlived, but happiness achieved by bringing a smile on others gives a certain level of fulfillment. 37 . No mind is happy without peace. We realize the true worth of happiness when we are in sorrow. Sorrow is basically due to death of a loved one, failure and despair. But these things are temporary and will pass away. Failure and success 38 . It helps us to touch the sky, teaches us to survive and shows us a specific way. Hope and despair Hope is what keeps life going. Parents always hope their children will do well. Hope makes us dream. Hope builds in patience. 39 ， because after every night there is a day. Nothing remains the same.

But some students like cheating in exams, which will lead to many results. Cheating in exams has many negative effects. First, it provides false information for teachers because teachers can’t possibly get a clear idea of the students’ performance and can’t prepare exactly what the students need next. Second, cheaters can get what they need without making great efforts, which is unfair to other honest students. Third, if cheating isn’t stopped, it will become a bad example to other students, that is, success can be achieved by means of cheating. I hold the view that “no pain, no gain” As far as I am concerned, any kind of cheating should be prevented, so I didn’t and won’t cheat in exams 听力原文 Text 1 W: Let’s study together, Shane! M: What time? I’m busy from six to eight. W: Let’s meet for a couple of hours before or after that. M: Earlier is better. (1) Text 2 M: How about if we go to an Italian restaurant for dinner tonight? How about Mario’s? W: OK. But we always eat at either Mario’s or Gino’s. Let’s try something new and go to Luigi’s. M: You always have the last word, my lady. (2) Text 3 M: Hey, Flora. Do you know where I can buy tickets to the basketball game tonight? (3) W: I never go to basketball games, but I’m pretty sure they are for sale at the same place I buy football tickets — next to the bookstore. Text 4 W: Mr. Robinson, I need to speak to you about your daughter’s dog Lily. She keeps eating the flowers in my yard. M: I’m so sorry about that, Kathy. W: If you don’t do something, I will have no choice but to call the police. M: I will ask Mary to pay more attention to her dog. (4) Text 5 W: Jerry, I’m sorry. Please forgive me. M: Forget it, Beth. W: I didn’t mean to hurt your feelings. What can I do to make it right between us? (5) M: It doesn’t matter. Text 6 W: Hey, Tim! Are you almost ready to go? We are going to be late! M: Almost, honey. I’ve got to finish writing this text message to my partners. (6) W: You’ve been typing that message for almost 20 minutes. M: Well, actually, I have been texting back and forth with Randy and Skip. We have that big meeting tomorrow, you know. (7) W: I wish for once we could have a weekend without text messaging and emails. Text 7 W: Good morning. Welcome to Chase Bank. My name is Emmy.

(15) W: It has to be ten pages long, (15) but I already have twenty pages of notes! M: Well, you should probably figure out what major points you want to make and then only include evidence about them. (16) It’ll be too much to include everything from her life. W: Yeah. That’s good advice… Hey, by the way, can I use your computer to write it? (17) M: Of course. But I lent it to my roommate earlier. I think he’ll be done using it soon. I’ll go to his room and get it, and then bring it to your apartment, OK? (17 W: Thanks. I really appreciate it! Text 10 A man woke up one day and surveyed his lands. “I need to buy another horse to help with the harvest,” (18) he said to himself. And so the man set out for the market. He looked long and hard at the animals offered for sale before finally making an agreement with the owner of an expensive horse. The man would buy the horse on one condition: the owner had to allow the man to try out the animal before paying the money. The owner was puzzled. He had never heard of such a deal before, but he agreed to the man’s request. (19) The man walked the horse home and put him in the straw yard with his other horses. He watched the animals to see how they would behave. Almost immediately, the new animal left the others and joined the laziest, fattest, and sleepiest-looking horse under the shade of a large tree. Seeing this, the man quickly led the horse back to the market. He gave the horse back to the owner and refused to buy it. (20)
