Dear Addie,

Greetings from New J ersey, how is New Zealand? I’m very excited to have you as my pen pal. I guess it’s my turn to tell you about myself.

First off, I live with my parents, two sisters, and our pet dog Brighty. Our town is called Whippangong. It is only about a half-hour away from New York City. My oldest sister, Ingrid, just turned 17, that means she now has a drive’s license. She drives us to the mall. Do you have a mall near you in Te Awamutu? My other sister is 11 and her name is Lucy. I guess I would say that she is my best friend. We still fight, though. She rides horses and takes lessons every Saturday

morning. I have to go with her sometimes, and that is truly the most boring thing in the world. Do you like horses?

I take tap dancing classes. I like to practice in the food store. The sound of my feet stepping on the hard floors echoes(发出回声). I play scores in the fall; I’m on the swim team during the summer. I like swim, but I am really looking forward to diving this year. Next year I will start music lessons in school. I think I am going to play the piano.

Our house has eight rooms and a small backyard where every year we try to grow vegetables. We mostly get zucchini because the rabbits eat everything else. I guess rabbits don’t like zucchini.

I have a bike and mum allows me to ride up and down our street, but nowhere else. I hope that I will get to ride it to school someday. Right now I ride the crowed and yucky bus.

Well, that is enough about me for now. I look forward to hearing from you again soon. I hope your surfing lessons went well. And I hope your mum dose let you learn to play the drums.

Write soon

Love,

Jessica

B. Choose the words or expressions and complete the passage（选择最恰当的单词或词语完成短文)（12分）

Grow deep roots

When I was young, I had an old neighbor, Dr. Gibbs. He 75 invited us to play in this yard, but he was a very kind person.

Dr. Gibbs had some 76 ideas about planting trees. He never watered his new trees. Once I asked why. He said that watering plants would spoil them. If you watered them, each young tree would grow weaker and weaker. So you had to make things difficult for them and 77 the weaker trees early.

He talked about how watered trees grew shallow roots, and how trees that weren’t watered had to grow deep roots in 78 of water under the earth by themselves. Deep roots were very important. So he never watered his trees.

Dr. Gibbs died several years after I left home. When I came back home, I walked by his house and looked at the trees that I watched him plant about 25 years ago. They were very big and strong. I planted some trees a few years later and carried water to them for a whole summer. After two years of caring too much, whenever a cold wind blow in, they 79 a lot.

Every night before I go to bed, I check on my two sons. Mostly I hope that their lives will be 80 . But now it’s time to change my thought . I kn ow my children are going to face difficulties. There’s always a cold wind blowing somewhere, so what we need to do is get roots that reach deep into the brave heart. When the rains fall and the winds blow, we can face them strongly and won't be beaten down.

75. A) always B) never C) probably D) directly

76. A) general B) crazy C) interesting D) wrong

77. A) look up B) put off C) depend on D) pick up

78. A) search B) need C) charge D) favour

79. A) grow B) cover C) shake D) change

80. A) long B) easy C) difficult D) horrible

C) Read the passage and fill in the blanks with proper words（在短文的空格内填入适当的词，使其内容通顺，每空格限填一词，首字母已给):（14分）

I didn’t think I had a passion(激情). I would sit in front of the TV all day, thinking about nothing but the next show.

It was not long ago that I first learned how important having a passion is to life.

On that day I went with my mum to drive my sister to the gym. I was bored. Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, s 81 on the side of the road caught my eye. It was a man dressed in rags (衣衫褴褛). He was homeless. That didn’t interest me, for I had seen many like him b 82 .

But in some ways he was d 83 . This man was not sitting down with a sad expression. He had a radio in his hand and was dancing h 83 to the music. The radio seemed to be the most precious(珍贵)thing he had.

“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he’s homeless?” I asked.

“He bought it,” she replied.

“But if he’s homeless, why doesn’t he use the money to buy food or clothes? He w84 it on something he doesn’t need.”

“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren’t the most important things. We need happiness, too.”

That man must c 85 enough music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes. I soon realized that happiness is the k 86 to life.

Without it, there’s nothing to look forward to. A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going.

D．Answer the questions（根据短文内容回答下列问题）（12分）

Alice Munro has won the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature. The short story writer is the first-ever Canadian, and the 13th woman, to win the prize. She has been ca lled “the master of the modern short story”.

Alice Munro was born on July 10, 1931, just outside Wingham, Ontario, which has appeared in her stories many times.

Munro said that she began to escape into books when she was only ten years old. After her

mother was diagnosed(诊断)with a serious disease, she started to throw herself into the world of books to make herself feel better.

Munro was a late bloomer(大器晚成) as a writer. She produced her first collection when she was 37 and didn’t get known outside Canada u ntil the 1970s.

In fact, Munro works with an easy-to-read writing style, which is often described to be “practically perfect”. Her story, The Bear Came Over the Mountain, was made into a movie called Away From Her.

The 83-year-old author is often compared to Chekhov, the 19th century Russian who is considered one of the greatest short story writers in history.

Munro lived for many years in the small town of Clinton, Opt, but she was so shy that many people in the town didn’t know who she was. Munro said she was trying to be more social and accept invitations and go out to see people.

Sam is a basketball trainer. He is good at teaching others to play basketball.

His friend, Joe, is the head of a middle school. Joe asks Sam to help him, because the school's basketball team has already lost ten games. Sam agrees. He trains the basketball team hard. And finally the team meets its 11th game.

The team members try their best. But in the first half, the team is behind by 30 points. During the break, everyone seems low and sad.

Sam asks, "Are you going to give up?"

No one answers. But their body languages show they want to give up.

Then Sam asks, "If Michael Jordan joined you, would he give up?"

"Of course not," answers one player.

Sam goes on asking, "If Kobe Bryant and LeBron James were there, would they give up?"

"No. They would fight to the end."

"If Miller became one of your members, would he give up?"

"Who is Miller?" asks the players.

"That's a good question. He has given up, so you don't know him," Sam answers with a smile.

It is easy for losers to give up. If we want to succeed, we have to hold on to it.

Welcome to our program. In today's show, we'll be talking about hobbies. A lot of people choose expensive hobbies like photography and golf. But, some hobbies don't cost a lot of money - they can be useful and even kind of cool. A great example of a cheap but cool hobby is plane spotting. How this works is people go to airports and watch the planes take off and land. They like to guess the model of the plane and the year it was built. Almost everyone has a hobby. However, some hobbies are, well, let's say, more useful than others.

Take bird-watching: Maybe you don't think this is a very useful hobby, but it is. Bird-watching started as a way for people to enjoy nature, but over time it became more useful. Bird-watchers became very interested in protecting nature. They formed groups to find ways to protect wild life and the environment.

Then there are those who are interested in computers. Before computers became popular, many people thought that computers were very difficult to use. Now, almost everyone uses a computer. But some people are more skillful at it than others and have taken up computer work as

a hobby. In fact, some search engines and a lot of websites started as a hobby.
