Most schools in England take 22 seriously—much more seriously than nearly all the schools in other countries, 23 lessons are all important and games are left for one?s own arrangements（安排）. In England, it is believed that 24 is not only a matter of filling a boy?s mind with facts in the 25 ; it also means character training; and one of the 26 ways of training character is by means of games, 27 team games, where the boy has to learn to 28 with others for his team, instead of working just for himself alone.

Mom and Dad are two of the most important people in your life. Over your lifetime, they may influence you more than anyone else you will meet. So if your mom loves to read, you just might grow up carrying a book wherever you go, just as she does.But parents do a lot more than just pass on their hobbies.

Do your best at whatever you do. You don?t have to be perfect, but when you do your best, you make your parents proud. It makes them happy to se e how you?re turning into a great kid. Why? Because it lets them know they?re doing a good job.

Even at school there had been an unhealthy competition between George and Richard.

“I?ll be the first millionaire in Coleford!” Richard used to boast.

“And you?ll be sorry that you knew me,” George would reply “because I?ll surely be the best lawyer in our town!”

After graduation, George never became a lawyer and Richard was anybody but a millionaire …. Instead, it happened that both men opened bookshops on opposite sides of Coleford High Street, while it was hard to make much money from books then, which made the competition between them worse. Eventually, Richard closed down his, dreaming of making a fortune elsewhere.

Now, with only one bookshop in the town, business was better for George. But sometimes he sat in his narrow old kitchen and gazed out of the dirty window, thinking about his former rival (竞争对手)。Perhaps he missed him?

George was very interested in old dictionaries, and he had recently found a collector in Australia who was selling a rare first edition. When the parcel arrived, the book was in perfect condition and George was quite delighted. But while he was having lunch, George glanced at the photo in the newspaper that the book had been wrapped in. He was astonished — the smiling face was older than he remembered but unmistakable! Trembling, George started reading: “Bookends Company has bought ten bookstores from its competitors. The company, owned by multi-millionaire Richard Pike, is now the largest bookseller in this country.”

35．George and Richard were at school.

A. competitors

B. good friends

C. roommates

D. booksellers

36．How did George feel about Richard after his disappearance?

A. He envied Richard?s good fortune very much.

B. He was unhapp y of Richard?s disappearance.

C. He felt unlucky with no more rival in the town.

D. He thought about Richard from time to time.

37．George got information about Richard from .

A. a dictionary collector in Australia

B. the wrapping paper of a book

C. some rare edition of a dictionary

D. one of Richard?s competitors

38．What happened to George and Richard in the end?

A. Richard became a millionaire while George had no great success.

B. Both of them realized their original ambitions, which were the same.

C. George established a successful business while Richard was missing.

D. Both George and Richard became millionaires by selling books.

C

One of my main concerns when I am helping people achieve their goals is how they measure success. I see individuals getting frustrated as they struggle hard for success.

One of the main reasons that cause this frustration is that people allow their definition of success to be determined by someone or something else. Another is that they become frustrated at their own apparent lack of success when comparing themselves to other people.

We are individuals with individual wants, skills and experiences. We should look at our own skills to determine what is successful to us. We should look inwards to determine what it would mean for us to be successful in our own mind rather than someone else?s.

Evaluating a successful person needs to look at his pathway to success, his actions ，his determination and translate that into his own experience to see how he can improve himself.

You must set your own course of action, and stay on your course. You alone must determine what success means to you. Do what you do to the best of your ability and the rest will take care of itself. For example, I believe that I am successful but I am not a millionaire! Others may not see me as successful in their eyes but that does not matter. It is how I see myself that is important to me and my life.

Here is the truth. Being a success is doing your best, not being the best. Success is not something you become; it is something you continue being.

When we get to that point, we will experience a lot more joy and a lot less frustration. And that sounds good to us!

Remember the great quote from Napoleon Hill, “If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.”

39．What?s the best title of this passage?

A.Frustration Determines Success

B.The Importance of Frustration to Success

C. Evaluations of a Successful Person

D. How to Measure Success

40．In terms of success, the writer thinks people feel frustrated because they_____ A. underestimate themselves B. know little about others

C.are often discouraged

D. struggle too hard

41．Which is NOT true according to the passage?

A.Success is something you keep on being rather than you become.

B.. It doesn?t matter others may not consider you as a success in their eyes.

C. Evaluating a successful person needs to look at others? judg ment

D.It matters that you set your own course of action and stay on it.

42．According to the passage the writer advises us to_____.

A.attach the importance to others? attitude and evaluation

B.learn from others`failure

C. l ook at others? skills to determi ne what is successful to us

D. set a proper goal and strive to realize it

D

Japanese high school students either walk or ride bicycles if the distance is not too great. In other cases, students must take public buses and trains. After junior high school, students attend schools based on their high school entrance examination scores. So some students travel a great distance to attend the school.

◆The school day begins at 8:30.

Then students assemble in their homeroom classes for the day?s studies. Each homeroom has an average of 40—45 students. Students stay in their homeroom classrooms for most of the school days. Only for physical education, laboratory classes, or other subjects requiring special facilities(设备) do students move to different parts of the school. Between classes and at lunch-time, classrooms can be noisy, lively places. Some schools may have a cafeteria(自助餐厅), but most do not. In most schools, students bring a box lunch from home, prepared by the mother in the early morning hours.

Japanese students spend 240 days a year at school, 60 days more than American students. Students in high schools take three years?each of the following su bjects:mathematics, social studies, Japanese, science, and English. Other subjects include physical education, music, art, and moral(道德的) studies. All the students in one grade level study the same subjects. Given the number of required subjects, selectives(选修科目) are few.

◆After-school Activities

Club activities take place after school every day. Students can join only one club, and they rarely change clubs from year to year, so the clubs are relatively stable. Clubs are made up of sports clubs(baseball, soccer, judo, kendo, etc.) and culture clubs(English, broadcasting, science, etc.). New students usually are encouraged to select a club shortly after the school year begins in April. Clubs meet for two hours after school each day and many clubs continue to meet during school vacations.

43. Students in the USA go to school days a year.

A. 240

B. 200

C. 180

D. 300

44. The underlined word “rarely” in the fourth paragraph means .

A. seldom

B. never C always. D. often

45. From the passage we know that .

A. there are less than 40 students in each class in Japanese high schools

B. there are few subjects for students to choose except the required ones

C. students must stay in homeroom classrooms for physical education

D. there will not be any club activities during school vacations

46. The BEST subtitle for the second and third paragraphs may be “”.

A. Homerooms

B. In class

C. Subjects

D. At school

How to Study Smarter, Not Harder

Here are some of our favorite study tips that will help any student study smarter, not harder: Recite As You Study

Reciting—saying things out loud should first take place as you read through each paragraph or section. Test yourself. This will help you to understand as well as learn faster because it is more active than reading or listening. It will also help you to notice your mistakes and the topics you have trouble understanding.

Take Fuller Notes

Notes should be in your own words, brief and clear. They should be tidy and easy to read. Writing notes will help you better than just underlining as you read, since it forces you to rewrite ideas in your own words.

Study the Middle

The best time to review is soon after you?ve learned something. You are more likely to remember the material at the beginning and the end of the lesson, so make sure you focus on the middle when you review.

Sleep On It

Study before going to bed, unless you are very tired. It?s easier to remember material you?ve just learned after sleeping than after an equal period of daytime activity, because your brain continues to think even after you?ve falle n asleep.

Combine Memory and Understanding

There are two ways to remember: by memorizing and by understanding. Multiplication tables, telephone numbers, and math formulas are better learned by rote. Ideas are best learned by understanding.

The more ways you have to think about an idea, the more meaning it will have; the more meaningful the learning, the better you can remember it. Pay attention to similarities in ideas and concepts, and then try to understand how they fit in with things you already know. Never be satisfied with anything less than a completely clear understanding of what you are reading. If you are not able to follow the thought, go back to the place where you first got confused and try again. 47．You can notice your mistakes by _______.

A. taking notes

B. saying things out aloud

C. studying the middle

D. sleeping on it

48．When taking notes, you should _______ to better help you with reading.

A. underline important notes

B. take down every detail

C. write notes in your own words

D. write as quickly as possible

49．The writer advises you to _______ as it is easier for you to remember material.

A. study before going to sleep

B. do some exercise after studying

C. study as soon as you get up

D. study after a period of activity

50．Which of the following is NOT helpful for your understanding?

A. Thinking about an idea in different ways.

B. Relating ideas and concepts with what you already know.

C. Going back to what first made you confused and start again.

D. Reading from the beginning to the end without stop.

第一节阅读表达（共5小题；每小题2分，共10分）

阅读下面短文，并按照题目要求用英语问答问题（请注意问题后词数要求）。

A new study has found that a fat cell gene may reduce the risk of colon cancer in some people.The study provldes what scientists say is the first evidence of a genetic link between a fat cell gene and colon cancer.The research could lead to better tests for the disease as well as measures to help prevent it．

Current evidence suggests a relationship between obesity，insulin resistance and colon cancer risk．The scientists say what they have found now is an area of a gene that is connected with the cancer risk.They say this area is most probably not the cause of the disease,but they think it is where the connection comes from.

The gene is involved in the formation of a hormone called adiponectin．Some people have higher levels of this hormone in their blood,____________．Higher levels have been linked with lower rates of obesity and insulin resistance．And lower levels have been linked with higher rates．

The Journal of thM American Medical Association published the new findings last week．BorisPasche from the Comprehensive Cancer Center at the University of Alabama at Birmingham led the research.

Colon cancer is one of the leading causes of cancer deaths. Every year it kills almost six hundred eighty thousand pe ople around the world．And doctors find more than one million new cases．The disease is highly treatable if disovered early．

The research involved two studies with a total of about one thousand five hundred people．The lager of the two studies involved Nes Y orkers of Ashkenazi Jewish ancestry.Coln cancer is more common in Jews of eastern European ancestry than in the general population.The other study invdVed people of different ethnicities from Chicago,Illinois.

Currently，in the United States，the general advice is for colonoscopy tests（结肠检查）for colon cancer to begin at the age of fifty. A colonoscopy can find and remove growths before they become cancerous. But the test is invasive and can be uncomfortable.

A study last month in the New England Journal of Medicine expressde support for a test called a virtual colonoscopy.It uses X-ray and computer technology to search for growths，but cannot remove them.There are still some questions about the effectiveness of a virtual colonoscopy compared to a traditional one .But doctors hope it might appeal to people who would otherwise not be tested at all。

56.What is the best title of the passage?（Within 10 words.）

57.Fill in the blank with proper words．（Within 7 words．）

58. Which sentence in the passage can replace the following one?

If it is diagnosed early,the disease is most likely to be cured.

59.Do you think the new research is practical and useful?Why?（Within 30 words.）

60.Translate the underlined sentence in the last paragraph.

Dear Mr. Zhang,

I?m a middle school student and I?m writing to apply for the job as a tree-guard offered by your committee. I know it is very important for human beings to protect the environment that we are living in, especially the trees in the mountains.

I will have the summer holidays and I will be free during July and August, when I can live in the mountains to guard the trees every night. Besides, I am strong and healthy, which can help me to water the trees during the day. I don?t mind the simple life or the hard work there, nor do I care about the salary or the payment. I simply want to devote some of my time to the tree protection, showing my love for my hometown. And I think it?s a job well worth doing for middle school students. I wonder if you can offer me the chance.

I?m looking forward to your reply.

Best wishes!

Y ours,
