Disney.Johannes Fritz, an Austrian biologist, needed to come up with a plan again if he was going to prevent his rare and beloved birds from going extinct.To survive the European winter, the northern bald ibis needs to migrate south for the winter over the Alps. But shifting climate patterns have delayed when the birds begin to migrate and they are now reaching the mountains too late to make it over the peaks, locking them in an icy death trap. Determined to save them, he decided to teach the birds a new, safer migration route by guiding them himself in a tiny aircraft. He was confident that he could succeed in this daring, unconventional plan.the last in the wild, causing the birds to disappear entirely from the wild. When Mr. Fritz was born 56 years ago, the northern bald ibis could be found in Europe only in captivity (圈养) .Mr.Fritz has spent his career reintroducing the birds into the wild. Through years of trial and error, he learned to fly like a bird. He modified (改装) a lightweight aircraft so it would fly at speeds slow enough for the birds to keep up. In 2004, he led the first flock from Austria to Italy, and has since led more migrations. But the route he originally taught the ibises does not work successfully. With climate change warming the area where the birds summer, they now start their migration at the end of October instead of the end of September. The trip is expected to take about six weeks, “Still, we’re optimistic that it’ll work,” said Mr. Fritz.His family and colleagues witnessed the risks he was taking. “But the unavoidable risks are necessary,” Mr. Fritz said. “It’s not so much a job, but my life’s purpose.”4．What was Johannes Fritz’s plan?A. To shorten bald ibises’ migration route.B. To lead bald ibises to migrate on a new route.C. To better the climate patterns for bald ibises.D. To find out a safer destination for bald ibises.5．What does the underlined word “devoured” in paragra ph 3 mean?A. Destroyed.B. Abused.C. Released.D. Raised.6．Why was Mr. Fritz’s initial route for the birds ineffective?A. Owing to the long time it consumes.B. For the slow speed of his modified aircraft.C. Because of the toughness along the first route.D. Due to higher temperatures in the summer habitat.7．Which of the following can best describe Mr. Fritz?A. Honest.B. Innovative.C. Straightforward.D. Demanding.As you’re drafting your New Year’s resolutions, you may think that it takes 21 days of repeating an action for that action to become a habit. So, you set out to go to the gym for 21 days, thinking that by day 22 heading to the gym will feel automatic—maybe even fun.However, that 21-day estimate isn’t true. A habit expert Wendy Wood found that this falsehood came from a self-help book in the 1960s and actually described how long it takes to get used to your new appearance after plastic surgery. It’s important to note t hat getting used to something is not the same thing as forming a habit, and perhaps the two concepts got confused along the way, giving rise to the term today.To figure out how long it actually takes to form a habit, Phillippa Lally, and her team did a series of research.They recruited 96 people and asked each person to choose one new habit and report each day on whether or not they did the behavior and how automatic the behavior felt. Some people chose simple habits like “drinking a bottle of water with lunch.” Others chose m ore difficult tasks like “running for 15 minutes before dinner.” At the end of 12 weeks, the researchers analyzed the data to determine how long it took each person to go from starting a new behavior to automatically doing it.The study found that it takes more than 2 months before a new behavior becomes automatic—66 days to be exact. And if you want to set your expectations appropriately, the truth is that it will probably take you anywhere from two months to eight months to build a new behavior into your life. Interestingly, the researchers also found that “m issing one opportunity to perform the behavior did not affect the habit formation process.” That is to say, it doesn’t matter if you mess up every now and then. Building better habits is not an all-or-nothing process.So, for those who wish to form certain habits, persistence is king. To form a good habit, we need to pay more energy and effort.8．What does “21days” actually mean according to Wendy Wood?A. The time one drafts a book.B. The time one develops a new habit.C. The time one gets used to something.D. The time one recovers from a surgery. 9．How did the researchers do the research?A. By doing questionnaires.B. By tracking people’s behaviors.C. By making predictions.D. By analyzing data of previous studies. 10．What can we infer from paragraph 5?A. Habits cannot be noticed easily.B. The amount of time a habit takes varies.C. One should perform a behavior constantly.D. It takes exactly 66 days to form a new habit.11．What is the best title of the passage?A. Habit—good or not?B. Better habit, better life?C. 21days to form a habit?D. Hit or miss with habits?The house had been cleaned and decorated elegantly. The air smelt fresh. Little labels on all we saw around the house displayed important details: date of purchase and the current selling price. We were at a garage sale. There was no talking or bargaining. Buyers could pick up at the listed price.All efforts that release cash that is locked into stuff touch me deeply. If they break conventional ideas, I will like them even more. It is my view that people love to follow suit and end up with emotions they ought to feel, rather than being true to themselves. To say that one does not care for one’s grandmother’s necklace is considered rude, so one would simply keep it in the locker and pass it on to the next generation.No longer so, I am guessing.It’s not always about money, but perhaps about considering one’s choices. My argument always is to use stuff, if you like it so much. Wear those pieces of jewellery; use those pieces of furnitures; take home those piles of old-time bedsheets. But if none of them fit into your current home, allow someone else to take them home. Turn those properties over instead of leaving them unused.Hoarding (囤积) is not a virtue. It is a waste of the money that is locked into the property you are hoarding. I may use it sometime in the future, say some. Give that a time frame. If you are holding something you haven’t used even once in five years, ask yourself if someone else may need it. Don’t sell if you don’t care for money; but do give it away.All else needs to earn their place for their value and usefulness for you. Celebrate the liberation from hoarding and let there be light!12．What do people often do at the garage sale?A. Purchase a garage.B. Label their belongings.C. Talk about decoration.D. Trade their unused stuff.13．Why does the author mention “neeklace” in par agraph 2?A. To call for respect towards the elderly.B. To advocate holding onto the family tradition.C. To show the financial condition of an average family.D. To prove people tend to follow suit against their wills.14．What does the author believe according to paragraph 4?A. It is a good idea to save money.B. A good taste counts in purchase.C. Unused items deserve a new owner.D. The outdated should be thrown away.15．What is the author’s purpose of writing the passage?A. To call on people to get rid of hoarding.B. To show his worry about wasting resources.C. To draw attention to conserving the traditions.D. To inspire people to spend more on meaningful things.二、七选五16．In our ever-evolving world, where both personal and professional areas are loaded with challenges, problem solving skills are increasingly valuable in the workplace. ①Here’s how to enhance your strategy.Clear and brief communication is the key to effective problem-solving, acting as the bridge that connects diverse perspectives toward a common goal. ② It involves choosing the right words, structuring information logically, and being mindful of the audience to ensure that your message is both impressive and comprehensible.

Happy? Angry? Calm? etc、Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to learn too mach at once、It’s best to study frequently,for short periods of time、Take a maximum of six or seven items of vocabulary and learn them、Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind,then e back to them later、Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic、And above all,have fun!( )46、Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A、 T o encourage others to startB、 To record his own progress、C、 To improve his speaking、D、 To pare himself with others、( )47、Which of the following is the most important in learning English?A、Speaking、B、Pleasure、C、Intuition、D、Vocabulary、( )48、It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English、A、body languageB、a good memoryC、a good friendD、a proper dictionary ( )49、Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true in learning a language?A、Practice makes perfect、B、A good beginning is half done、C、Rome is not built in a day、D、Don’t run before you can walk、BBy far the most mon difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work、This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study、 Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment、Few students work to a set timetable 、They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be 、No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others 、There are many who shy away from a self-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work 、Many able students state that they work in cycles 、When they bee interested in a topic they work on it attentively for three or four days at a time 、On other days they avoid work pletely 、It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation(动机)to work 、Most people over 25 years of age have bee used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work 、The “tough-minded” school ofworkers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration(灵感)、Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom”、Freedom from control and discipline(纪律)leads to unhappiness rather than to “self-expression” or “personality development”、Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality (准时),and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands、( )50、The most widespread problem in applying oneself to study is 、A、changing from one subject to anotherB、the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC、the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD、working on a subject only when one feels like it( )51、Which of the following is true?A、Many students are not interested in using a self-controlled timetable、B、Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed timetable、C、Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable、D、Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally、( )52、The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph4 means 、A、 when they have the energyB、 when they are in the moodC、 when they feel fitD、 when they find conditions suitable( )53、A suitable title for the passage might be 、A、 Attitudes to StudyB、A Study PlanC、 The difficulties of StudyingD、 Study andSelf-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear、We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough、 In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle、It needs exercise、Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children、Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about、The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent、 If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to bee dull and unintelligent、Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children、 According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things、So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That was a very clever thing you did、”or “You a re such a smart child、”( )54、The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________、A、 bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB、 pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC、 great and important; monD、 hopeful and helpful; careless( )55、 A person ________ is more likely to bee a genius、A、 whose parents are cleverB、 often thinking about difficult problemsC、 often helped by his parents and teachersD、 born with a good brain and putting it into active use ( )56、It is better for parents ________、A、 to praise and encourage their children more oftenB、 to be hard on their childrenC、 to leave their children alone with nothing to doD、 to give their children as much help as possible( )57、 Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A、Parents play an important part in their children’s growth、B、 The less you use your mind the duller you may bee、C、 Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live、D、What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion、DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams、 As we sat before the television set, with oureyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling、When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would e next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths、Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy、 For more than that it provides food for thought、Just see how the Chinese women won the game ──by their co ──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will、 A Chinese sa ying goes, “When two petent opponents (比赛得双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win、“This is the spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team、If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──min ded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do、( )58、 While watching the game, we _____、A、 had feelings of different kindB、 enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC、clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’sVolleyball TeamD、 were eager to know what would happen later on( )59、 The wonderful game _____、A、 brought us great joyB、 provided us with food for our thoughtsC、 gave us not only

We’ve been sold an almost-empty box of ice cream!”Dad shouted.It didn’t even cross his mind that there might be another reason.But smart Emily stared directly at Larry and asked,“Can you think of any other reason why the ice cream has disappeared?”Everyone quickly understood her implication. Paragraph2:To my great shock,just when I hesitated to admit it,Larry said,“Yes.I ate it.”My parents looked at Larry with disappointment,not believing that he would do such a thing.He had高二英语（答）—1always been a good boy.Then he apologized.Seeing that Larry’s face reddened and his eyes swelled,I got my lesson and told the truth.My father didn’t get mad about my behavior.Instead,he praised my brother for his kindness and courage,and also praised me for not escaping the blame for what I had done.He then bought another box of ice cream.We ate happily.听力材料Text1W:I’m late for work and my car isn’t working,so I need to find someone to take me to work.M:I can take you.Text2W:I went to a really cool museum with my class yesterday.M:Really?You mean the Nature Museum?W:No,it was the Science Museum,and there was a show of robots.We were supposed to go to the Art Museum,but that got canceled so we did this instead.Text3W:I just came to pick up my plastic container that I lent you the other day.M:Oh,right.Well,I’ve just washed it actually,so here you go.Text4W:John,can you do me a favor in the kitchen?M:At your service.W:I would like half of the chicken cut into slices,and the other half kept.Remember to cut off the fat.Your father doesn’t like the taste.Text5W:Hey,Rex,how are you at cooking?Are you any good?M:Not really if I’m honest.Text6M:What did you do on the weekend,Amy?W:Let me think.Oh,I went shopping on Friday evening and bought some daily necessities for the apartment.M:What did you get?W:Oh,some towels and a new toothbrush.Saturday wasn’t too bad.I went jogging in the morning and went to the gym in the afternoon.But after all that exercise,I was too tired to do anything on Saturday night.M:So how about Sunday?W:It was great!I went out on a date with a really great man that night.Text7W:Slow down,Adam.You’re driving like a mad man.M:I told Greta I’d pick her up at9:45.Her plane lands at9:20.W:Relax.It’s just9o’clock now.There’s plenty of time.M:I suppose so.W:Did you have breakfast yet?M:No.I jumped out of bed this morning and ran out of the front door.I didn’t have time to eat.W:I’ve got an apple in my bag,if you want it.高二英语（答）—2M:Have you got anything else?W:Pens,pencils,a notebook…but nothing to eat.Just the apple,I’m afraid.M:I’ll pick something up at the airport.W:Are you crazy?Food’s always ten times more expensive at the airport.Text8W:How on earth did you fall out of the window?M:I was sitting with my mother in the living room playing with my toys.My sister started crying in the bedroom,and my mom went to take care of her.So I pushed a chair near a window and climbed on top to have a look outside.And while I was standing by the window,my biscuit fell out of my mouth.I tried to catch it,but I lost my balance and fell.W:Oh,my goodness!Do you remember the fall?M:It was all very quick,but I remember lying on the ground with people all around me.And then I saw my mom.She was hopeless,because she thought my head hurt,but all I had was a broken leg.I was very lucky.W:Surely you’re a lucky boy.Be more careful next time.Text9W:Can I help you?M:Yes,my son and daughter bought this pen here for my wife’s birthday,but it doesn’t work,so I’d like to exchange it.W:Let me see.Was it dropped or anything?M:No,but you can see that the point is bent a little bit.W:Yes,it is,isn’t it?We’d be happy to exchange it for you.But I’m afraid we don’t have another purple one.We only have this pen in black or yellow now.M:My wife doesn’t really care for either of those colors.W:We have one with a red leather cover.That’s three dollars more.M:The children worked hard to save up the eleven dollars for this one.They would probably be upset if I paid for part of their present.W:If you want,we can order another pen just like this one.M:That sounds like a good idea.Would you please go ahead and do that?W:We’d be very happy to.It will take a week or ten days.We’ll call you when it comes in.M:Thank you very much.Text10M:May I have your attention,please?Today,I would like to share with you one of my experiences.It happened to me a few years ago.That day after lunch I was on my way to school hurriedly becauseI was afraid that I would be late.Suddenly I hit against an old man carelessly and the books andpapers in my hand dropped onto the ground.It was I that hit against him but I scolded the old man rudely.The man just smiled at me and helped me pick up all the books and papers on the ground.After that he turned round and went away.When I got to my classroom,our class teacher told us that a new teacher would replace him and the new teacher would arrive soon.To my surprise,I found that the new teacher was the man I had run into on my way to school.I believed he would have a rather poor opinion of me but he treated me the same as other students.From my story I learned a lesson that I should be polite to a stranger at any time.参考答案及解析第二部分阅读第一节A【语篇导读】本文是一篇应用文。

Speak，speak，speak!Practise speaking as often as yon can--even speaking to yourself is good practice.Try recording yourself whenever you can. Compare your pronunciation with the master version，see how you can do better and have another go.If yon do this severaltimes，you will find that each version is better than the last. Why not learn with someone else?It helps if you can learn with someone else. If yon can persuade a friend or family member to study with yon，it will make you keep working.Agree times to meet and set goals for the week，and test each other regularly.Don’t get stuck by a word you don’t knowPtactise improvising(即兴的)ways of getting your meaning across when speaking spontaneously(本能地)，even if yon don't know the exact words or phrases.Think of things yon might want to say whenever yon have spare time.A basic example is the rise of tenses.If you don't know the past tense but want to talk about yesterday，use the verb in the present tense and use the word for“yesterday”.Use facial expression，hand movements，anything to get your meaning across.Language learning is also about intuition(直觉)Guesswork is an important strategy in learning a new language.When listening to recorded material，yon aren’t expected to understand everything first time round.If you play the same piece several times，you will most probably understand something new each time.Learn to make maximum use of all the clues yon can pick up.For example，what do the speakers sound like? Happy? Angry? Calm? etc.Build up your vocabularyA wide vocabulary is the key to successful language learning but don't try to le arn too mach at once.It’s best to study frequently，for short periods of time.Take a maximum ofsix or seven items of vocabulary and learn them.Put them into sentences to fix them in your mind，then come back to them later.Much of the vocabulary in the course is presented by topic.And above all，have fun!（）46.Why should one have himself recorded when practising speaking?A. To encourage others to startB. To record his own progress.C. To improve his speaking.D. To compare himself with others. （）47.Which of the following is the most important in learning Eng lish?A.Speaking.B.Pleasure.C.Intuition.D.V ocabulary. （）48.It is implied in the passage that is helpful when you are learning English.A.body languageB.a good memoryC.a good friendD.a proper dictionary（）49.Which of the following proverbs(谚语) seems not to be always true inlearning a language?A.Practice makes perfect.B.A good beginning is half done.C.Rome is not built in a day.D.Don’t run before you can walk.BBy far the most common difficulty in study is simple failure to get down to regular concentrated work. This difficulty is much greater for those who do not work to a plan and have no regular routine of study. Many students muddle along ,doing a bit of this subject or that ,as the mood takes them, or letting their set work pile up until the last possible moment.Few students work to a set timetable .They say that if they did work out a timetable for themselves they would not keep to it ,or would have to change it frequently ,since they can never predict (foresee) from one day to the next what their activities will be .No doubt some students take much more kindly to a regular routine than others .There are many who shy away from aself-controlled weekly timetable ,and dislike being tied down to a fixed programme of work .Many able students state that they work in cycles .When they become interested in a topic they workon it attentively for three or four days at a time .On other days they avoid work completely .It has to be admitted that we do not fully understand the motivation（动机）to work .Most people over 25 years of age have become used to a work routine ,and the majority of really productive workers set aside regular hours for the more important areas of their work .The “tough-mind ed” school of workers doesn’t fully accept the idea that good work can only be done naturally ,under the influence of inspiration（灵感）.Those who believe that they need only work and study as the fit takes them have a mistaken belief either in their own talent or in the value of “freedom” .Freedom from control and discipline（纪律）leads to unhappiness rather than to“sel f-expression” or “personality development” . Our society insists on regular habits ,timekeeping and punctuality （及时），and whether we like it or not ,if we mean to make our way in society ,we have to meet its demands.（）50.The most widespread problem in applying oneself to studyis .A.changing from one subject to anotherB.the failure to keep to a set timetable of workC.the unwillingness to follow a systematic planD.working on a subject only when one feels like it（）51.Which of the following is true?A.Many students are not interested in using aself-controlled timetable.B.Many students don’t like being told to study to a fixed tim etable.C.Most people over 25 years of age don’t work to a set timetable.D.Tough-minded people agree that good work is done naturally.（）52.The underlined part “as the fit takes them” in paragraph 4 means .A. when they have the energyB. when they are in the moodC. when they feel fitD. when they find conditions suitable （）53.A suitable title for the passage might be .A. Attitudes to StudyB.A Study PlanC. The difficulties of StudyingD. Study and Self-disciplineCWhat makes one person more intelligent than another? What makes one person a genius, like the brilliant Albert Einstein, and another person a fool? Are people born intelligent or stupid, or is intelligence the result of where and how you live? These are very old questions and the answers to them are still not clear.We know, however, that just being born with a good mind is not enough. In some ways, the mind is like a leg or an arm muscle.It needs exercise. Mental (done with the mind) exercise is particularly important for young children. Many child psychologists (心理学家) think that parents should play with their children more often and give them problems to think about. The children are then more likely to grow up bright and intelligent. If, on the other hand, children are left alone a great deal with nothing to do, they are more likely to become dull and unintelligent.Parents should also be careful with what they say to young children. According to some psychologists, if parents are always telling a child that he or she is a fool or an idiot, then the child is more likely to keep doing silly and foolish things. So it is probably better for parents to say very positive (helpful) things to their children, such as “That wasa very clever thing you did.” or “You are su ch a smart child.”（）54. The words “intelligent” and “brilliant” in the first paragraph probably mean _______ while “dull” in the second paragraph means ________.A. bright and splendid; slow in thinking and understandingB. pretty and handsome; ordinary-lookingC. great and important; commonD. hopeful and helpful; careless（）55. A person ________ is more likely to become a genius.A. whose parents are cleverB. often thinking about difficult problemsC. often helped by his parents and teachersD. born with a good brain and putting it into active use（）56. It is better for parents ________.A. to praise and encourage their children more oftenB. to be hard on their childrenC. to leave their children alone with nothing to doD. to give their children as much help as possible（）57. Which of the following is NOT true according to the article?A. Parents play an important part in their children’s growth.B. The less you use your mind the duller you may become.C. Intelligence is obviously the result of where and how you live.D. What makes a person bright or stupid is still under discussion.DNo one could have failed to be moved had he watched the live televised volleyball game between the Chinese and Cuban women’s teams. As we sat before the television set, with our eyes fixed on the screen, we experienced every kind of feeling. When the two teams played neck and neck, we were on pins and needles, anxious as to what would come next, and when our team fell behind our hearts were in our mouths. Watching the game between those two teams is not only a matter of great joy. For more than that it provides food for thought. Just see how the Chinese wo men won the game ──by their co──operation (合作), by their excellent skill, their effort and strong will. AChi nese saying goes, “When two competent opponents (竞赛的双方) meet, the strong ──minded one will win. “This is the spirit of the Chinese Wo men’s Volleyball Team. If every Chinese showed some of the spirit, never losing heart in times of difficulty and remaining clear ──minded in times of advantage (优势), then our nation would stand in the vanguard (前列) of the world family of nations, just as the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team has done, is doing and will do.（）58. While watching the game, we _____.A. had feelings of different kindB. enjoyed a friendly and wonderful gameC. clapped and cheered only for the Chinese Women’s VolleyballTeamD. were eager to know what would happen later on（）59. The wonderful game _____.A. brought us great joyB. provided us with food for our thoughtsC. gave us not only great joy but also food for thoughtsD. give us a valuable amusement（）60. The author believed that _____.A. the Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team was the strongestB. China was sure to become stronger and stronger if only we havethat spirit of the Chinese Wom en’s Volleyball TeamC. The Chinese must remain clear-minded in time of advantageD. The Chinese Women’s Volleyball Team never lost heart in timesof difficulty（）61. The best title of the passage might be _____.A. Watching a Close Volleyball GameB. The Spirit of the Chinese Women’s Volleyball TeamC. Learn from the Members of the Volleyball TeamD. The Strong ──Minded Are the WinnersEIf you wish to become a better reader, here are four important points to remember about rate, or speed, of reading:1. Knowing why you are reading—what you are reading to find out—will often help you to know whether to read rapidly or slowly.2. Some things should be read slowly throughout. Examples are directions for making or doing something, arithmetic problems, science and history books, which are full of important information. You must read such things slowly to remember each important step and understand each important idea.3. Some things should be read rapidly throughout. Examples are simple stories meant for enjoyment, news, and letters from friends, items, or bits of news from local, or hometown, paper, telling what is happening to friends and neighbors.4. In some of your readings, you must change your speed from fast to slow to fast, as you go along. You need to read certain pages rapidly and then slow down and do more careful readingswhen you come to important ideas which must be remembered.（）62. According to the passage, your reading speed depends on ________.A. whether the reading material is easy or difficultB. what you are readingC. what your purpose in reading something isD. both B and C（）63.

It was a time filled with laughter and joy.One day, my father decided to build a greenhouse in the garden. He believed that having a greenhouse would allow us to grow more plants throughout the year. With the help of my mother and me, he started to build it. It took us several days, but finally, the greenhouse was ready.The greenhouse was a great success. We were able to grow plants even in winter. It was amazing to see the flowers blooming and the vegetables growing in the cold season. However, we soon realized that the greenhouse needed constant care. The plants had to be watered regularly, and we had to clean the greenhouse to prevent pests and diseases.One day, I noticed that some of the plants in the greenhouse were not doing well. They were wilting and losing their leaves. I was worried and asked my father what was wrong. He checked the plants and explained that they were suffering from a lack of sunlight. The thick glass of the greenhouse blocked most of the sunlight from reaching the plants.To solve the problem, my father built a small window on the side of the greenhouse. The window allowed sunlight to enter the greenhouse, and the plants started to thrive again. From that day on, we made sure to keep the window open during the day to provide the plants with enough light.The greenhouse not only extended our growing season, but it also brought us closer as a family. We learned the importance of teamwork and hard work. Itwas a wonderful experience that I will always remember.Complete the following passage by choosing the most appropriate word or phrase from the options given below.I was worried and asked my father what was wrong.

It is a treasure we should protect. Unfortunately, the better friends you are, the more probably you’ll have disagreements. And the result can be what you don’t want an end to the relationship.The good news is that most troubled friendships ca n be mended First, don’t’ let your pride get in your way. Most of us can forgive each other when differences are brought out in the open. Second, apologize when you’re wrong –even if you’ve been wronged. Over the course of a friendship, even the best people make mistakes. Sometimes, it may be best if the wronged person takes the lead and apologizes. When you apologize, give your friend a chance to admit that he has been wrong. Third, see things from your friend’s point of view (观点). And finally, accept that friendships change as our needs and lifestyle (生活方式) change. Making friends can sometimes seem easy. The hard part is keeping the connections strong during the natural ups and downs that have an effect on all relationships. My suggestion: Consider friendship an honor and a gift, and worth the effort to treasure and nurture (培养).56.What would be the best title for the text?A. Easy Ways to Make FriendsB.

Family matters including living habits and even the way we speak have a big effect on our health, doctors say.Wang Xiaoyu, a Senior 2 girl from Xichang, Sichuan Province, fainted (晕倒) in class when she heard her classmates quarrel at the top of their voices. Quarrels between her parents also put the girl into a coma. It is because she is suffering from depression (抑郁症), caused by bad relations at home, doctors explained.“We don’t get sick or stay well by ourselves,” says Dr Robert Ferrer from the US. Ferrer shows that family forces may explain up to a quarter of health problems,in his recent research.The genes you get from your family may cause illness. If one of your parents has a heart attack, your risk of being affected may double. But effects on health are not only written in our DNA.Unrelated people who live under the same roof also get similar problems. Diet, lifestyle and environment affect our health, too.Ferrer’s research also found that if teenagers feel they are ignored or unimportant at home they are more likely to get sick.We may never fully understand all the effects that families have on our health. But just as individual (个别的) problems can have effects on others, a small improvement can have big benefits, Ferrer said.60.Which of the following can best explain why Wang Xiaoyu fainted in class?A.

My little daughter asked me what 'PK' meant, but I had no idea," explained the puzzled father.To a lot of Chinese young people who have been playing games online, it is impossible not to know this term. In such Internet games, "PK" is short for "Player Kill", in which two players fight until one ends the life of the other.In the case of the "Super Girl" singing competition, "PK" was used to refer to the stage where two singers have to compete with each other for only one chance to go up in competition ranking.Like this father, Chinese teachers at high schools have also been finding their students' compositions using Internet jargons which are difficult to understand.A high school teacher from Tianjin asked her students to write compositions with simple language, but they came up with a lot of Internet jargons that she didn't understand."My 'GG' came back this summer from college. He told me I've grown up to be a 'PLMM'. I loved to 'FB' with him together; he always took me to the 'KPM'," went one composition."GG" means Ge Ge (Chinese pinyin for brother). "PLMM" refers to Piao Liang Mei Mei (beautiful girl). "FB" means Fu Bai (corruption). "KPM" is short for KFC, Pizza Hut and McDonald's.Some specialists welcome Internet jargons as a new development in language.If you do not even know what a Kong Long (dinosaur, referring to an ugly looking female) or a Qing Wa (frog, referring to an ugly looking male) is, you will possibly be regarded as a Cai Niao!71.
