You may spend time with a friend and get to see where he lives. So remember to be polite.When to arriveThe fist thing to remember is that when a friend invites you over, you need to arrive on time. If your friend tells you to come “around 3:00”, that means you can turn up a little bit after 3:00. But usually it is a good idea to arrive at the right time.What to bringOften it is also nice to bring something to your friend’s house. This could be a box of chocolates for you two to share, or maybe a movie that you can watch together. You can also bring some flowers. A little gift is a nice way to show your friend that you are excited to be at his house.How to greetWhen you visit your friend’s house, you may also meet his parents. You should tell them who you are and they may tell you their names. As a child, I went to visit my friend Paul. I called his parents by their first names John and Mary. But now I know it is more polite to call them Mr. or Mrs. Smith. This will show them more respect and then they may tell you to call them by their first names. Another way to show respect is to call them Madam or Sir.It is a cool thing to visit a friend’s house. Be polite to your friend and your friend’s parents, and you will be invited again!51. If you are told to get to your friend’s house around 5:00 p.m., it is politeto arrive at ________p.m.A. 5:02B. 4:50C. 4:30D. 5:3052.

The passage may be from ________A. a notice on a wallB. a letter to a friendC. an article in a magazineD. a news story in a paper( B )In 1826, a Frenchman named Niepce needed pictures for his business. But he was not a good artist. So he invented a very simple camera. He put it in a window of his house and took a picture of his garden. That was the first photo.The next important date in the history of photography(摄影术) was in 1837. That year, Daguere, another Frenchman, took a picture of his reading room. He used a new kind of camera in a different way. In his picture you could see everything very clearly, even the smallest thing. This kind of photo was called a Daguerreotype.Soon, other people began to use Daguerre’s way. Travelers brought back wonderful photos from all around the world. People took pictures of famous buildings, cities and mountains.In about 1840, photography was developed. Then photographers could take picture of people and moving things. That was not simple. The photographers had to carry a lot of films and other machines. But this did not stop them, for example, some in the United States worked so hard.Mathew Brady was a famous American photographer. He took many pictures of great people. The pictures were unusual because they were very lifelike(栩栩如生).Photographers also became one kind of art by the end of the 19th century. Some photos were not just copies of the real world. They showed people’s feelings, like other kinds of art.55.

In line there were two people before me. A little boy was buying some rather strange clothes. He chatted with anyone who was interested in the clothes and soon we learnt that he was going to a kindergarten party. He had done a great job of putting together interesting costumes.I noticed that the little boy was paying mostly with change(零钱). It seemed that he had robbed his pig bank to do this shopping. However, the cashier told him he was short after counting all the money. The boy thought for a moment and said, “Please keep the shirt and I will come back with more money.”It was clear that he had already used all the money he had and he was ＄8.00 short. The lady in front of me said, “Well, I could pay half of that”. I told the boy that I could pay the other half. We dug into our handbags. However, both of us only had ten dollar bills and we needed the cashier to get the change for us. Other shoppers began digging into their pockets to find some change. It was amazing and touching as all these strangers seemed to react with the same mind. All wanted to be of help. Within minutes the cashier said, “I have too much money.”The cashier didn’t need our ten-dollar bills. Then the lady in front of me, who had been the first to offer help, said, “Wait! I didn’t even get a chance to give anything!”I smiled at her and said, “You did your share, because it was your idea and youstarted all this.” The little boy smiled and thanked us. We wished him the bestand he left. I was left with a good feeling. I had seen the love and goodness ofothers all around me. The woman in front of me smiled and said, “It sure feels goodto give, doesn’t it?” I smiled back and said,“Yes!”59. What is this passage mainly about?A. Love and goodness.B. Culture and tradition.C.

Don’t worry and you may soon be able to say goodbye to your heavy schoolbag.Instead of burying your face in textbooks, newspapers, magazines and novels, you could find that the e-book reader fits all in one.An e-book reader is a new invention, which can hold thousands of texts and display them as real text printed on a paper page. Sony and IRex Technologies are among the first to produce and sell e-book readers. The new device(装置) is expected to hit stores in a few months.In the same way that the iPod had changed the way people enjoy music, e-book readers could change the way that books are both bought and read.The size of an e-book reader is as the same as that of real books. Its screen is different from that of a computer. It is as thin as piece of paper. The words in the e-book’s screen look exactly the same as words on real pages. But you can do more with an e-book reader than you can with an ordinary book. The reader can change the size of the words and connect with the Internet to download new books.The e-book reader is also expected to have a function that lets you play MP3 music while you are reading.Book publishers have begun to produce books that can be bought and download to the new e-book devices. One of the publishers has already changed more than 3,000 of different kinds of books into the digital format(格式) and there are already large numbers of books and stories on the devices.63. Which of the following can be used to read e-books?A. An MP3 playerB. A radio.C. An e-book reader.D. A computer.64. Which of the following is Not TRUE according to the passage?A.

Volunteers may work within their own countries or in other countries. They are often people with a strong wish to help those who are less fortunate than themselves. Volunteers don’t expect any kind of pay.At the root of volunteering is the idea that one person may have the ability to offer services that can help other people. Tracy, a good friend of mine, however, recently came back from India with a new idea of what being a volunteer means. She worked for two and a half weeks in one of Mother Teresa’s homes in Calcutta. The following is her story.“I first heard about Mother Teresa in my high school, we watched a video about her work in India and all over the world. I was so moved by her spirit to help others and her endless love for every human being that after I graduated from high school,I too wanted to try her kind of work. So with two friends I flew to Calcutta fora few weeks.”“I was asked to work in a home for sick people. I helped wash clothes and sheets, and pass out lunch. I also fed the people who were too weak to feed themselves and tried to cheer them up. I felt it was better to share with them than to think that I have helped them. To be honest, I don’t think I was helping very much. It was then that I realized that I had not really come to help, but to learn about and experience another culture that helped improve my own understanding of life and the world.”67．According to the passage, a volunteer refers to a person who ________ A．is willing to help those in need without pay.B．can afford to travel to different places.C．has a strong wish to be successful.D．has made a big fortune in life.68．Tracy started her work as a volunteer __________.A．after she met Mother Teresa.B．after she finished high school.C．when she was touring Calcutta.D．when she was working in a hospital.69．Why did Tracy choose to be a volunteer?A．She liked to work with Mother Teresa.B．She had already had some experience.C．She was asked by Mother Teresa’s example.D．She wanted to follow Mother Teresa’s example.70．What is Tracy’s “new idea” (Paragraph 2) of being a volunteer?A．Going abroad to help the sick.B．Working in Mother Teresa’s home.C．Doing simple things to help the poor.D．Improving oneself through helping others.第二卷第一部分：把所给单词翻译成中文写在其横线上.(每个1分，共15分)1. tutor2.upset3. thunder4. relief5. glare6. confirm7. librarian 8.guilty 9. can’t help doing sth.10. companion____________11. forever 12.devotion13. bleed 14. alike 15. broken第二部分：书面表达(15分)根据所提问题及限定内容，写出一篇连贯完整的短文。
