Different cultures celebrate the beginning of a new year in different ways, and at different times on the calendar.In Western countries, people usually celebrate New Year at midnight on December 31st-January 1st. People may go to parties, sometimes dressed in formal clothes, and they may drink champagne（香槟酒）at midnight. During the first minutes of the new year, people cheer and wish each other happiness for the year ahead. But some cultures prefer to celebrate the new year by waking up early to watch the sun rise. They welcome the new wear with the first light of the sunrise.Many cultures also do special things to get rid of bad luck at the beginning of a new year. For example, in Ecuador, families make a big doll from old clothes. The doll is filled with old newspapers and firecrackers. At midnight, these dolls are burned to show the bad things from the past year are gone and the new year can start afresh （重新）. Other common traditions to keep away bad luck in a new year include throwing things into rivers or the ocean, or saying special things on the first day of the new year.Other New Year traditions are followed to bring good luck in the new year. One wi despread Spanish tradition for good luck is to eat grapes on New Year’s Day. Themore grapes a person eats, the more good luck the person will have in the tear. In France, people eat pancakes for good luck at New Year. In the United States, some people eat black-eyed peas for good luck-but to get good luck for a whole year you have to eat 365 of them!( )26.

When eating black-e yed peas on New Year’s Day, people think_____.A. one pea brings one day of luckB. black-eyed peas are the best medicineC. the peas are too black and taste badD. the peas are helpful to count numbersBFor years I went to school by bus，so I met many “familiar” strangers．We took the same bus but didn’t know each other’s names．I used to think it was impossible for us to be true friends．How wrong I was！Smiles from the “nameless” people have changed my thoughts．The first time I got on the bus，I saw different faces．We met，greeted and cold faces turned into smiling faces．As days went on，we chatted like old friends．But I felt it a pity that I was unable to set up the same friendship with a silent girl in the front of the bus．Her old clothing suggested that she didn’t have much money，but she always took a cup of water for the driver．I guessed she was a kind girl．But why did she sit in silence instead of talking with us？Why did she never reply to our friendly greetings？Couldn’t she smile？Then，one evening，I got the answer．I walked to the park nearby and found the girl sitting alone under a tree，lonely and sad．I greeted her with the same warm smile that I had shown to her all these months，but this time her face turned red，then a shy smile appeared．As soon as she began her first words，I understood why she hadn’t spoken to us before．Talking was hard for her．I learnt her story：Her parents worked hard somewhere．She lived with her disabled grandparents．She said，“I can’t express myself very well．Most of the time，I can’t say what I want to say．I have no friends but…you always smile to me like an angel…so I also want to smile．”That evening，we exchanged our names and we said goodbye like old friends．Smile is the key to opening the door of the heart；it can break the cold walls in front of us．( )31. All the following words can describe the girl except ________.A. silentB. kindC. proudD. poor( )32. The writer often met the girl ________.A. on the busB. in the parkC. at schoolD. under the tree( )33. The girl had difficulty in ________.A. listeningB. singingC. writingD. talking( )34. Which of the following is TRUE？A. The girl is very rich.B. Smile is the key to closing the door of the heart.C. The writer knew the name of the girl that evening.D. The writer can’t make friends with those nameless people on the bus now. ( )35. The main idea of the passage is that ________.A. we should help those silent peopleB. smiles can deal with every difficulty we meetC. we should smile to the nameless people on the busD. smiles can help us get closer and understand each other betterCSoap operas from South Korea have been popular in China for more than twenty years now. So it is not the first time for the soap operas made in China to feel less popular. But this time, they are facing more difficulties, for The Heirs(继承者们)and My Love From the Star really made a full success, which even attracted some top officials.A senior official said he sometimes watched soap operas from South Korea, as well as House of Cards, an American opera about politics. These operas made both in South Korea and in America have a lot of lovers in China.Many people agree that China’s soap operas can’t be mu ch loved by most Chinese, because they are not as interesting and exciting as those operas from South Korea and America, such as My Love From the Star, a South Korean love story between a time-traveling professor and a famous movie star.However, South Korea not only provides soap operas but also some variety shows(综艺节目). Where Are We Going, Dad? is not an original Chinese show. We learned it from South Korea although not many in China are aware(意识到)of that fact.Actually, China has a closer culture with South Korea. Shows from this neighbor seem to do better with their exciting stories on the Cinderella theme(灰姑娘主题). Yet they have created many popular shows whose stories tell there’s no difference between men and women even though in their country men are certain to play a more important role.( )36. When might soap operas from South Korea become popular in China?A. 1991.B. 1971.C. 2010.D. 2001.( )37. Most people in China like watching shows made in ______.A. EuropeB. ChinaC. South KoreaD. Japan( )38. The soap operas made in China are not as popular as those in South Korea or America, because ______.A. senior officials don’t allow us to watch themB. they are not very interesting and excitingC. Chinese people are more interested in politicsD. they were only made twenty years ago( )39. According to the passage, we can know Where Are We Going, Dad? is ______.A. more popular than My Love From the StarB. loved by a lot of South KoreansC. about the love between a professor and a starD. originally from South Korea( )40. What does the underlined phrase “play a more important role” mean?A. There’s no difference between women and men.B. Men like soap operas better than women.C. Women don’t like the parts played by men.D. Men are believed to support the families and society more.DCyber Cafe computer centers are found in many cities around the world. 41For example, high school in the state of Maryland began operating a Cyber Cafe lastMarch. All students at Bethesde-Chevy Chase High School in Bethesda can use the Cyber Cafe. But school officials say it’s set especially to help students who have no computer or cannot use the Internet at home.The officials say thirteen percent of the students at the school are from poor families.42 Students in the school’s program for learning English speak twenty-three languages.The idea for a Cyber Cafe at Bethesda-Chevy Chase High School began three years ago. 43 Parents interested in technology proposed a Cyber Cafe.Over two years, money for a Cyber Cafe and other new computers was collected. It received more than one hundred seventy thousand dollars. The Café now has sixteen computers, a printer and a device called a scanner. School official Ann Hengerer says students use the Internet to complete research. They also write homework and required papers on the computers. 44 That is especially helpful for the many students who have family members in other nations.45 Visitors can stop by for a drink of coffee, tea or hot chocolate.A.The cyber café also serves a social purpose.B.In addition, they can also send and receive electronic mails.C.Now, a few American high schools are opening these centers.D.At that time, officials were planning to restore the school building.E.Many students have arrived in the United States from other countries recently.五、单词拼写.(共5分)46.

They are in space, and they can reach any part of the world. The satellites take pictures of the atmosphere(⼤⽓), because this is where the weather forms(形成). They send these pictures to the weather stations. So meteorologists(⽓象学家) can see the weather of any part of the world.From the pictures, the scientists can often say how the weather will change.Today, nearly five hundred weather stations in sixty counties receive satellite pictures. When they receive new pictures, the meteorologists compare them with earlier ones. Perhaps they may find that the clouds have changed during the last few hours. This may mean that the weather on the ground may soon change, too. In their next weather forecast, the meteorologists can say this.So the weather satellites are a great help to the meteorologists. Before satellites were invented, the scientists could forecast the weather for about 24 or 48 hours. Now they can make good forecasts for seven days. Soon, perhaps, they may be able to forecast the weather for more than a week.42. Satellites travel .A. in spaceB. in the atmosphereC. above the groundD. above space43.
