When he was a young boy, his greatest passion was in football. He played it whenever he had the chance. Sometimes he would go and watch a game with his friends. When David Beckham was 12 years old, he won the Bobby Charlton Soccer Skills award. This was an important step forward for this young boy, and it led him to go for a visit to a football training camp in Spain. As a boy he played for schools of Essex and also for his county team.In 1991, he became a trainee with Manchester United. This meant that he could practice football as much as he wanted to and play for the highly successful Manchester United Youth Cup team and Under-21 team. In April, 1995 he played his first football league game against Leeds United. During i995 and 1996, David became a regular member of the team and Manchester United won in both football seasons, with David scoring many goals.His goals made him well-known. In the first game of the 1996-1997 season, he scored an surprising goal from beyond the halfway line. Beckham became famous overnight. He continued to score amazing goals, especially from free-kicks. The speed of one of his shots was timed at 157 kph. He also had the ability to make the ball go from left to right, or right to left, whenever he chose. Goalkeepers were never sure where the ball was going, and it regularly ended up in the goal.46.

B4, we used 2 go 2 NY 2C my bro, his GF & thr 3:-@ kids FTF ILNY, its gr8.Can yo u understand this sentence? If you can’t, don’t feel too bad: neither could the middle school teacher in England who received this as homework. This is Netspeak: the language of computerized communication found on Internet or cellphones. To newcomers, it can look like a completely foreign language. So, what is the “translation” of the sentence above? My summer holidays were a complete waste of time. Before, we used to go to New York to see my brother, his girlfriend, and their three screaming kids face to f ace. I love New York; it’s great.School teachers and parents say this new form of writing is harming the English language. Increasing spelling mistakes can be seen in students’ writing. They fear the language could become corrupted.Yet linguists (语言学家) believe Netspeak is more of a good thing. David Crystal, from the University of Wales, argues that Netspeak creates a new language use and the almost lost art of diary writing has been picked up again. Geoffrey Nunberg, from Stanford University, agrees. “People get better at writing by writing,”he says, “Kids who are now doing text messaging, e-mail, and instant messages will write at least as well as, and possibly better than, their parents.”Linguist James Milroy says, for centuries it is believed that young people are harming the language. And you can bet your bottom dollar that when today’s teenagers become tomorrows parents, they will think this way too. He argues that languages do not become “cor r upted”; they simply change to meet the new n eeds.However, it is important to teach young people how to speak and write Standard English. Cynthia McVey says, “I can understand Netspeak worries teachers, Students should be aware that text messaging is for fun, but learning to write proper English is a must for their future.”51. What is the main purpose of the first paragraph?A. To give an example of a foreign language.B. To show an example of creative methods.C. To express worries about using Netspeak.D. To lead in the topic of Netspeak.52. Which of the following is true according to the passage?A. David Crystal thinks Netspeak helps develop the habit of writing.B. Geoffrey Nunberg believes Netspeakers can write Standard English.C. James Milroy says that language is getting worse than before.D. Cynthia McVey points out teenagers can deal with Netspeak properly.53. The expression “bet your bottom dollar” in Paragraph 5 means __________.A. be pretty sureB. be greatly surprisedC. think it a pityD. find it interesting54. Which of the following may be the best title for the passage?A. Netspeak: A Widely-Used Language on InternetB. Is Netspeak Harming the English Language?C. Is Netspeak Helpful in Language Learning?D. NetspeakK: Advantages and Disadvantages55. Where can you probably see this passage?A. In an encyclopeadia.B. In a fashion magazine.C. On a science blog.D. In a story book.(C)There is a very simple way of measuring the height of a water tower, which we cannot measure by climbing.Suppose, for example, that we wish to find out the height of the water tower, AB, in a factory, we first of all go to where the water tower is standing and measure a distance of, say, 90 feet from it, in a straight line, marking the spot that is 90 feet from the water. tower. Then we take a stick, DC, and stand it in the ground at the spot we have just marked.Let us suppose that the stick we are using is 4 feet in height. We now walk farther away from the water tower in the same straight line as when we measured off the distance of 90 feet. We go from the water tower until we come to a point E, where, with our head on the ground, we see the top of the stick and the top of the water tower in the straight line that is, the top of the stick just over the highest part of the water tower.We now have two triangles (三角形) and the proportion (比例) of the side CD to the side CE, in the smaller triangle CDE, is exactly the same as the proportion of the side BA to the side BE, in the large triangle BAE. It’s clear from this that every schoolboy or schoolgirl can work out the height of the water tower.Suppose that the line CE is 5 feet. We know that the stick is 4 feet high and the length BE is 95 feet. From these measurements we have the simple proportion sum: 5 is to 4 as 95 is to AB. We multiply 95 by 4, making 380, and divided by 5. Then we : can get the height of the water tower. The height of any other building can, of course, be easily measured by using the same way.56. The underlined word feet refers to __________.A. weightB. footC. lengthD. ruler57. The proportion of the side CD to the side CE is __________ the proportion of the side BA to the side BE.A. bigger thanB. equal toC. similar toD. smaller than58. The triangle CDE must be __________.A. below the triangle BAEB. out of the triangle BAEC. in the triangle BAED. over the triangle BAE59. According to the passage, which of the following proportion sums is correct?A. BA is to four as five is to ninety-fiveB. four is to five as BA is to ninetyC. five is to ninety-five as BA is to fourD. BA is to ninety-five as four is to five60. The height of the water tower is __________.A. 45 feetB. 76 feetC. 90 feetD. 180 feet六、阅读填空(共5小题；每小题1分，满分5分)根据短文内容，从A-F中选择恰当的句子填入短文空白处，使上下文连贯，其中一项为多余选项。

If we don’t know the answer to a riddle, we have to pay a dollar.”The cook thought about it and said, “That’s not fair (公平的). You are a teacher, an educated man. You know more things than I do. I am just a cook.”“That’s true,” the teacher said,“What s your suggestion?”“If you don’t know the answer to a riddle, you need to pay me $100. If I don’t know the answer to a r i ddle, I’ll pay you $50.”the cook said.Thinking for a while, the teacher said, “OK. That’s fair. Who’ll go first?”“I will,” the cook said.“Here is my riddle.

Polite.BEmma Watson, who played Hermione Granger in the Harry Potter movies, seems to have it all. She is one of the most famous and successful actress for her age in history.Emma starred in eight Harry Potter movies. She acted in the first one when she was just 9 years old. She did not have much acting experience before getting the role. She says she has other interests besides acting. “I love to perform, but I love to do a lot of things. I just go with the flow.”She turned 26 this year and she has got $10.5 million from the films.Although she is rich and famous, Emma says she does not act for money. She says she will not leave school to act full-time. “People can’t understand why I don’t want to, but school life keeps me in touch with my friends. It keeps me in touch with reality (现实),” she said.Like Hermione, Emma was a model student in her high school in England. In most subjects she got As.Emma filmed the sixth film in 2009, Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince. In 2010, she began the seventh and final film in the series, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows.

Emma filmed the sixth Harry Potter film in 2009.50. The passage mainly tells us _________.A. how Emma became a successful actressB. that Emma has many hobbiesC. why Emma doesn’t want to leave schoolD. some information about EmmaCIt’s there, but it has no weig ht, no colour, and you can’t smell it. You can’t see it, but it’s working everywhere in our modern world. Don’t try to touch it! It’s dangerous. It has always existed (存在), but humans learned about it only 500 years ago.What is it? Electricity. It’s powerful and mysterious. Thanks to electricity, you can flick a switch (开关) and have light. Watched a good TV show lately? You couldn’t do that without electricity. We cook our food, heat our homes and run our computers using electricity. But what is it, really?Here is a simple description. Everything in the world is made of atoms (原子). Atoms are small. You can fit millions of them on the head of a pin. In every atom, there are electrons (电子), protons (质子) and neutrons (中子). In some atoms, it is possible to move electrons easily from one atom to another. As the electrons move, a current (电流) is created. This is electricity.Don’t worry if you don’ understand it fully. Just remember that electricity is the resu lt of the movement of electrons. As the electrons move, they create a strong electric charge.There are many ways to generate electricity. A machine called a generator spins (旋转) rapidly. Water and wind can make a generator spin. As the generator spins, the electrons begin to move. As they move, they create an electric current. Power lines (电线) are built from generators to carry this current to places where people can use it. Along your street, power lines bring electricity right to your door. A wire runs into your house. More wires inside your house are attached to the plugs. Plug in your lamp, the electricity lights up the bulb, and you have light!It takes a lot of energy to make electricity. Oil is one of the main fuels (燃料) used to power electric generators. Another common fuel is coal. Our planet is running out of these resources, and using them creates a lot of pollution.In the future, most electricity will be produced using the sun and wind. But for now, be careful about how much electricity you use. Don’t forget to tur n off the lights when you leave a room. Every little bit helps.51. People can NOT use electricity to __________.A. cook our foodB. flick a switchC. heat our homesD. run our computers52. The writer mentions atoms in the third paragraph to __________.A. show the relationship between electricity and atomsB. explain what the electricity isC. tell us everything in the world is made of atomsD. describe how the electrons move53. The underlined word “generate” in Paragraph 5 probably means __________.A. moveB. understandC. produceD. use54. According to the passage, the writer probably agrees __________.A. it’s very easy to make electricityB. oil and coal are green resourcesC. most electricity is produced by sun and wind nowD. everyone should do his best to save electricity55. What might be the best title for the passage?A. Electricity a natural forceB. How electricity helps usC. The importance of electricityD. Save the energy, save the world第二节阅读填空(共5小题，每题1分，满分5分)选择恰当的句子填入文中空白处,请将答案填写在答题卡上。

She hopes to build bridges and break down misunderstandings between different cultures. For example, one of her cartoons shows water preferences in different countries. Three glasses of water are shown. The glass of water from the US has ice; the one from France is full of sparkling water（气泡水）; the one from China is steaming（冒热气的）.Cao also uses her cartoons to show different ways of thinking and social customs. During the COVID-19 pandemic, for example, she used her comics to explain why Chinese people prefer to wear masks, while Western people don’t.Many foreign readers say that Cao’s comics help them understand China, while Chinese immigrants（移民）have felt that they are seen and understood.34．How many foreign countries has Cao stayed over the last 12 years?A．One.B．Two.C．Three.D．Four. 35．Why did Cao create the cartoon series Tiny Eyes Comics?A．Because she wanted to tell us differences she has experienced.B．Because she hoped to build the bridges between different cultures.C．Because she wanted to show the different ways of social customs.D．All of above.36．Which sentence is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A．French people like drinking icy water.B．Western people don’t like wearing masks.C．Many foreigners can have a better understanding of China from her comics.D．Cao was born in Beijing.37．What is the main idea of the passage?A．We should know the culture differences.B．Cao’s comics help people understand China.C．It’s interesting to create cartoons.D．Many foreign readers like the comics.On Sept 3, the United Nations Children’s Fund did a survey on children’s well-being (幸福).
