A

When I was about 12, I had an enemy, a girl who liked to point out my shortcomings(缺点). Sometimes she said I was thin. Sometimes she said I was lazy. Sometimes she said I wasn’t a good student. Sometimes she said I talked too much, and so on. I tried to put up with(忍受) her 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, and then he asked, “Are the things she said true or not? Mary, didn’t you ever wonder what you’re really like? 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 and to my surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true.

I brought the list back to my dad. He refused to take it. “That’s just for you,” he said. “You know better th an anyone else the truth about yourself. When something said about you is true, you’ll find it will be helpful to you. Don’t shut your ears. Listen to them all, but hear the truth and do what you think is right.”

Many years have passed. The situation often appears in my mind. In our life we often meet with some trouble and we often go to someone and ask for advice. For some advice you will treasure(珍惜) all your life!

1. What did the writer’s father do after he heard her complaints(抱怨)?

A. He agreed with her “enemy”.

B. He told her to write down all her “enemy” had said about her.

C. H e let her continue to put up with her “enemy”.

D. He told her not to pay attention to what her “enemy” had said.

2. The writer felt ______ when she did the things as her father had told her.

A. surprised

B. angry

C. disappointed

D. sad

3. Which of the following can we know from the passage?

A. The “enemy” thought the writer was pretty.

B. The “enemy” thought the writer studied hard.

C. The writer and her “enemy” became best friends at last.

D. The writer is grateful to her father.

4. Which of the following can be the best title of the passage?

Let us suppose it is now about A.D. 2060. Let’s make believe (假装；虚构) it is about fifty years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.

V oyages to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it was for the people in 1960 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment (娱乐) of young and old.

What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven’t yet started to take on heir (继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now come in pill form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.

Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago, most of our planet’s surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.

Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and then.

People are now largely vegetarians (素食者). You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animal decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.

Such would be our life in 2060.

5. When was the passage written?

A. In about A.D. 2060.

B. In about 1960.

C. In about 2014.

D. In about 2010.

6. According to the passage, what will be on the moon in about A.D. 2060?

A.Many other animals.

B.Many plants.

C. Many tourists.

D. A sea.

7. What will people eat then according to the passage?

A. Foods in pill form.

B.Biscuits in pill form.

C .Foods in water form. D. Foods in gas form.

8. The passage tells us that in 2060, ____ on the earth than now.

A. there are fewer population

B. there are more pests

C. the crops are getting better

D.there is less water

C

London will host a major exhibition(展览) of 15th-century Chinese artwork, including paintings, sculptures (雕塑)and porcelain, which are all from Ming Dynasty (1368-1644).

The exhibition will be open from Sept 18 to Jan 5. On display will be 108 cultural relics from 10 museums in China, as well as collections from the British Museum and museums in Japan, the United States and Europe. The exhibition will be in five parts to give an overview of the society.

"This was a time when the political and social system of the dynasty became stable(稳定), and the country also experienced huge changes. China was in frequent contact with the rest of the world at that time, and its artists and scholars also influenced other cultures," said Yao Yu, the director of this activity. During this time, Beijing became the capital of China, and Zheng He (1371-1433) set sail and reached the shores of eastern Africa.

Jessica from the British Museum, said "reading" an artwork may differ in different cultures. "When a Chinese audience sees a painting you see figures and stories. But we see beautiful views. " However, she

added that the British public had a basic knowledge of the dynasty and many British people probably knew

more about the later period of the Ming Dynasty after the Portuguese and Spanish came to China to trade.

Their houses and dining tables have Chinese blue and white vases but they don’t know much about the

earlier period, which in China was a more culturally important period.

"We’d like to take away people from the idea that China became international after the Europeans

arrived. China in the early Ming Dynasty was very international. "

9. What does the passage mainly talk about?

A. An important exhibition.

B. Museums in London.

C. Artworks from China.

D. Ming Dynasty in China.

10. What does the underlined word in Paragraph4 mean in Paragraph 4?

A. Read aloud.

B. Learn something by heart.

C. Look at and appreciate something.

D. Write down something.

11. Which of the following is NOT true about the Ming Dynasty?

A. It was a time when the political system of the dynasty was stable.

B. Beijing became the capital of China during that time.

C. Zheng He sailed to the shores of eastern Africa.

D. Ming Dynasty started from 1368 and came to an end in 1433.

12. What can we know from Jessica?

A. British people have a good knowledge of the Ming Dynasty.

B. British citizens know more about the later period of the Ming Dynasty than the earlier ones.

C. British and Spanish came to trade in Ming Dynasty.

D. The later period of the Ming Dynasty is a more culturally important period in China.

Dear Sir\Madam,

I’m writing to make a complaint about a shirt, a coat and a pair of trousers which I bought from your online shop last month.

Unfortunately, when the order (定货) arrived I realized that the shirt had a button missing and was not the size I had ordered. In addition, when I tried on the coat, I noticed that it had a hole in it. What’s worse, the color of the trousers was not what I had asked for either.

On the whole, I am not satisfied with your goods. I would like you to either change the order or give me a full refund.

I’m looking forward to your early reply.

Yours,

Li
