He teaches them how to read and how to think. So, many things will be learned 4 school by the students themselves.It is always more important to know how to study by students 5 than to remember some formulas (公式).

This is easy to say if you don’t have one yourself, I know. But the only peop le who don’t have troubles are gathered in little neighborhoods. We call them cemeteries (坟墓).If you’re breathing, you have difficulties. That’s how life is. But believe it or not, most of your problems may actually be good for you! Let me explain.Maybe you know about the Great Barrier Reef (大堡礁), running some 1800 miles from New Guinea (新几内亚) to Australia. Tour guides often take visitors to see the reef. On one tour, the guide was asked an interesting question. “I notice that the lagoon (泻湖) side of the reef looks pale (苍白) and lifeless, while the ocean side is lively and colorful. Why is this?”The guide answered: “The coral (珊瑚) around the lagoon side is in still water. With no challenge to its survival (生存), it dies early. The coral on the ocean side is always being tested by wind, waves and storms. It has to fight for its survival every day. As it is challenged and tested, it changes and grows healthy, it grows strong.” He added, “That’s the way it is with every living thing.”That’s how it is with peo ple. Challenged and tested, we come alive! Like coral by the sea, we grow. Physical problems make for a stronger body. Stress makes for a stronger mind.So, you have problems—no problem! Just tell yourself, “There I grow again!”阅读文章，选择正确答案。

Just keep an open mind.” The next few weeks were a blur模糊的记忆. Dad was in a city300 miles away, looking for work. Mom and I stayed in our house, knowingthat our days there were 41 . When my father called with the news thathe had a job, I felt numb麻木. As we 42 away from the house,my mother must have seen the sadness on my face. “Jesse, life goes on,”she said. “A wonderful new life awaits us, but only 43 we work at it.” I thought about those words. I tried to look on the 44 side.“I’ll try, Mom,” I promised in a small voice. However, I was disappointedas we drove into the city. Everything seemed so unfamiliar. Seeing our new neighborhood helped—tall trees and quiet sidewalks welcomed us. Then I noticed our house, and it just kind of looked rightto me. Dad 45 out of the front door. “This is it,” he said. “It’s not home yet, but I think that you and your mother might make some decorations to make it look good.” My father was trying to be lighthearted, but I could see that he was a little 46 .

I was teaching in a small town where my twenty-seven third graders excitedly expected the great day of gift-giving in a couple of days. Each daythe children produced some new 36 — Christmas cards, handmade gifts, German bells and so on. Through it all she remained alone, 37 fromfar away. I wondered what would happen to this quiet child, once so happy,now suddenly so quiet. I hoped the festivities would please her. But nothing did. The students made the fried marbles small balls, made of glassor stone and competed with one another to bring the 38 ones. The day of gift-giving finally came. We cheered over our handiwork as the presents were 39 . All along, she sat quietly, watching. To see her smile, I had made a special bag for her. She opened it so slowly and carefully. I waited but she 40 . After school I sat down in a chair, hardly knew what was happening, when she came to me with out-stretched hands, holding a small white box that looked a little old, as if it hadbeen many times by unknown, childish hands. She said nothing. “For me ”I asked. She said not a word, but 42 her head. I took the box and carefully opened it. There inside, shining green, a fried marble hung froma golden chain. Then I looked into that eight-year-old 43 and saw the question in her dark brown eyes. 44 I knew — she had made it for her mother, who had died just three weeks before and would never hold her orbrush her hair or 45 her childish joys or sorrows. I meant46 when I said in a low voice, “Oh, Maria, it is so beautiful. Your mother would love it.” Neither of us could stop the tears. She threw herself into my arms and we cried together. And for that moment I becameher mother, for she had given me the greatest 47 of all: her trust and love. 36.

I also believe that we sometimes damage ourwell-planned thoughts about success because it is easier to just carryon as usual rather than ' try' with the possibility of failure in mind. The main reason why most people never get moving is because they have noreal idea about what they want. Without a certain result already set inyour mind, it is really difficult to get going, and even if you do, your motivation 动力 may soon disappear and you give up before too long. Why not consider what is really important in your life Write down what excites you, what would truly make you happy and what problems you have.At the end of the week, take a careful look at the notes you have taken.You will soon begin to see a clearer picture of what direction you shouldbe heading. Knowledge is useless without action. You can readevery book on any subject but your life will stay the same if you do notuse that knowledge. This may seem clear but the reason why the self-help industry is thriving 繁荣的 is because people read and read and read butnever use the information provided. Knowledge is fantastic but itis not life changing until used. I love to read personal development material to keep a positive attitude towards my life, but l also realizethat if I don't set goals to achieve, then l will always be a talk thetalk person who is great at giving advice but useless at realizing it.If you have no plans of practicing what you say, then it may he best tokeep your mouth closed. Do yon want to know who you are Don't ask.Act Action will explain you. Whatever excuses we have for not living upto our talent, the fact is that time will always move forward. Be whateveryon want to be and whatever you can be. Always remember the only limitswe have are the ones we create for ourselves. Life is not what we think,it is what we experience when we act upon the thoughts we entertain.58. In Paragraph Two, the writer wants to ______A. tell us what people need to get successB. show us what people setin their mindC. inform us why people should practiceD. explain why people stopgoing ahead59.The underlined phrase "living up to" probably means ______.A. matchingB. showingC. wastingD. losing60.What is the best title for the passageA. See a Clear Picture of Life,B. Get Started to Be Great.C. Set Goals to AchieveD. Act upon ThoughtsC Sometimes you think your teacher hates you You‘re not the only one. Teachers and students sometimes have personality clashes冲突, just likeany two people who don‘t get along. After all, teachers aren‘t perfect. However, most of the time, there are lot of reasons why you complain aboutyour teacher‘s bad attitude态度 to you. So try to find out if your teacherreally does dislike you. Or something else is going on. Here are somequestions to ask yourself: Is your teacher angry at you personally,or at something you‘ve been doing All teachers have something thatthey strongly dislike. Maybe your teacher hates it when people whisper低声说话 in class. If you try hard not to do these things, the situationmight get better. Are you the only person being treated badly, or isyour teacher shouting at the whole class Ask your classmates if they‘ve been having trouble with the teacher too. If they say yes, perhapsyour teacher is having problems outside of school, or is new and feels something badly. Are you working up to your ability You and thekid sitting beside you both got a C on the last test, and your teachertold you that you could do better, but didn‘t say anything to her Isn‘t this unfair Well, teachers often treat different students indifferent levels in different ways. They will be angry if they feel someonedoes not do the work he is able to. It‘s their way to encourage a studentto try a little harder. Are you more sensitive敏感 than most studentsTry to find out if you are very sensitive to be criticized批评. If theother students aren‘t as sensitive, they will not be in such trouble eventhough the teacher treated them the same way. There‘s nothing wrong withbeing sensitive, but if you act to criticism differently than most kids,this would be the reason why you think your teacher doesn‘t like you.54.The writer thinks that it is ____ when teachers and students haveclashes.A.not a matter at allB. a serious problemC. something normalD. no good for students55. If only one boy is criticized in a teacher‘s class, the boy should____.A. ask his classmates for helpB. think more about himselfC. talkwith the teacher at once D. treat the teacher the same way56.The writer wrote the passage to tell students how to ____.A. get along with their teachersB. do during a class as a studentC. understand the teachers‘ feelingD. act when they are criticizedD There are several kinds of distances距离 people keep. Dr. Hallnames them intimate, personal, social, and public. Intimate distance isbeing very close to another, as in a family. Personal distance might bethe kind people put between themselves at a party. Social distance is more businesslike and formal. Public distance is used by actors, politicians,and leaders before a large group. Scientists are trying to find out howpeople use these different distances. They want to discover why, when,and where people allow closeness or use space to protect themselves fromothers. Since proxemics is a new science, there aren‘t many conclusions about the meaning of spaces separating people. But you can make some general observations观察 on your own. Take note how you use space on different situations. What message do you get from other people as they move close to you or away from you Does distance give you a feeling that you are being ignored忽视When do you feel crowded拥挤的Standing in line at a shop counter, you can learn about space. People keep just enough distance between each other so that they don‘t invade侵犯 each other‘s area. If you should move in on another person‘s area, you would soon know it. That person would become nervous or turn around to show you the angry expression on his or her face. Or that person might simply tell you, ―Please step back. I’m too crowded.‖ School is a good place to study how space is used and how people mark their own area. At school you probably have a desk or part of a table to call your own. How do you feel when you find someone sitting at your desk or covering your table with papers and books Maybe you want to protect your area. You might tell the other person that it belongs to you. Then you might move his or her things aside. You might even ask that person to leave your area. Whether people are close together or far from each other, space can tell you indeed. The most important thing in space dialogue is whether people respect one another‘s areas. Invading other people‘s space might mean trouble.57. From the passage we can learn that ____.A.close or not, there is distance between peopleB. personal distance is between family membersC. close distance can make you feel comfortableD. one must keep enough distance from others 58. 58.Which of the following is true according to the passageA. You must protect your area from others‘ invading it.B. Space among people is something important for us.C. Distance can tell the relationship between people.D. Scientists are studying why there are kinds of spaces.59.What does the last sentence ―Please step back. I‘m too crowded‖in Paragraph 4 mean A. Go away or I am leaving. B. You take all my area as yours.C. Come and see I am here.D. You‘re standing too close to me.60.The best title of the passage probably is ____A. How interesting space isB. Space does speak indeedC. Space can be everywhereD. One should own his spaceC All over the world, the global diet includes fast food —prepared items from inexpensive restaurants, snack bars, or food stands. Some examples of American fast food are hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches,fried chicken, and so on. Some types of international fast foods might be German sausage and Schnitzel, Italian pizza, Japanese sushi and tempura, Chinese eggrolls and noodles and the like. The variety of fast foods all over the world is growing. Even so, this kind of style is becoming worldwide. Fast-food places usually prepare and serve the items quickly. Many are part of fast-food chains eating places with the same name and company owner. For example, the biggest and most famous American fast-food chain serves hamburgers in nearly every part of the world. For several reasons, many people choose fast food. First, it is quick and convenient. Second, it is cheaper than special home-cooked meals or formal restaurant dinners. And third, it is easy to find every eating place with the same company name. The atmosphere and style of most fast-food places is casual, comfortable, and familiar. Why do other eaters stay away from this fast, easy kind of nourishment The main reason is its low nutritional value. Fast food doesn‘t have large amounts of fiber, vitamins, minerals, and the like-elements necessary for good nutrition and health. In contrast 相反, most types of fast food have a lot of fat, sugar, or salt in them. Possibly, these things can cause or increase health disorders, like heart disease, and some kinds of cancer. Recently, these quick and easy kinds of world wide nourishment are generally getting better and more healthful. For example, many fast-food restaurants now have put vegetable items on their menus. Of course, human beings around the world don‘t always eat in fast-food places.The variety of food choices is large now and is probably going to increase. The number of food preparation methods is growing too. Cooking customs, eating habits, and food preferences all over the world are becoming more healthful. In these and other ways, the global diet is changing.54.From Paragragh 1,we can know that __________________.A.America serves four kinds of fast foodB. we used to have more types of fast foodC. different countries have different types of fast foodD. America serves fewer fast food than other countries55.The underlined phrase ―stay away from‖ means __________.A. move away fromB. disorderC. get out ofD. Dislike56.The passage is mainly about ___________.A. the changing global dietB. the increasing types of dietC. the reason why people choose fast foodD. the reason why people dislike fast foodD People cannot reach an agreement on the use of science and technology. For example, will radiation from electronic equipment destroy the environment Should medical scientists change gene structures to prevent genetic disease or to create ―more perfect‖ human beings While peopleare arguing about these and others, technology continues to influence our everyday lives—the home, health and education, entertainment and communication, and so on. Some people carry on active social liveswith computers —their own or the ones in public places like cafes, social centers, libraries, and so on. Communicating with others in chat rooms, computer users can get to know people they might never meet in traditional ways. With live online video connections, two people with cameras in their computers can see and talk to each other from separate places. With modern telephone technology, most people stopped writing lettters—especially personal letters and notes. But now, writing to communicate has returned in electronic form, or e-mail, which is a wayof sending messages from one computer to another. For some computer users,the wish to communicate intelligently or creatively with others makes themwant to write better. Computer technology has also made it possibleto run a house electronically. From turning lights on and off to startingthe coffee and cooking the hot meal, computers are taking care of peopleat home. Many modern machines have computer chips that allow their ownersto program them. For instance, you can ―instruct‖ a microwave oven howto cook a dish. Most entertainment equipment operates with computer technology too. Computers can even start cars automatically so that oncold winter mornings you can get into a warmed-up vehicle and drive off. Although much of the technology in our everyday lives has good effects, there are some uses that raise questions. For example, are interactive media i.e., a combination of television, telephone, and computer goingto control minds, cause people to forget about family life and personal relationships What effects will the genentic engineering of food haveon people‘s health High-tech medical treatments can make a person livea much longer life, but can they improve the health and happiness of human beings Only time will tell, but, in the meantime, science and technologywill continue to move forward.57.What does the underlined word ― chips‖ meanA. thin pieces of potatoesB. small holesC. small pieces of woodD. central parts58. We can know from the passage that _________.A.technology never stops changing our everyday livesB. with computers each of us can live a comfortable lifeC. people can do more activities with computersD. the more you use computers, the better you might write59.What can we infer from the underlined sentence in the last paragraphA.The longer you live, the happier you are.B. High-tech medical treatments can‘t improve our health and happiness.C. High-tech medical treatments can‘t help us with everything.D.The writer questioned high-tech medical treatments somehow.60.What is the best title for the passage。

In my opinion, there is some false information in it, and it also encourages children to have bad eating habits.In the advertisement, there is a popular TV cartoon character who says that Cheese in a Tube is “thebest cheese in the world”. This is, of course, not true. However, I havetwo young children who love the cartoon character in theadvertisement. Now they hope to eat the cheese every day. Theybelieve that your cheese is the best in the world and they don’t wantany other kind.The cartoon character then says that Cheese in a Tube is “good for young kids”. Well, I checked the information on the packet. There certainly isn’t very much cheese in your product – only 5% – and it has more fat and calories(热量) than chocolate! It’s probably one o f the unhealthiest things you can buy in the supermarket. Child obesity is a huge problem in our country. Our children are the fattest in the world, and products like yours just make things worse.Finally, the advertisement ends with two beautiful, slim, healthy-looking children sitting in front of the TV. Their mother calls them to come to the kitchen to eat a vegetable salad. The children say they’re watching their favourite cartoon – the same character who is in the advertisement, of course – so what does the mother do? She brings each of them some Cheese in a Tube! The parents eat their salad in the kitchen while the children enjoy the cheese in front of the TV!

But “How are you?”is also a very unusual question.It’s a question that often doesn’t need an answer.The person who asks“How are you?”hopes to hear the answer“Fine”,even if the person’s friend isn’t fine.The reason is that “How are you?”isn’t really a question and “Fine”isn’t really an answer.They are simply other ways of sayi ng“Hello”or “Hi”.Sometimes,people also don’t say exactly what they mean.For example,when someone Asks “Do you agree?”,the other person might think,“No, I disagree.I think you’re Wrong...”But it isn’t very polite to disagree so strongly,so the other person might say“I’m not sure.”It’s a nicer way to say that you don’t agree with someone.People also don’t say exactly what they are thinking when they finish talking with other people.For example,many talks over the phone finish when one person say “I’ve to go now.”Often,the person who wants to hang up gives andexcuse:“Someone’s at the door.”“Something is burning on the stove.”The excuses might be real,or not. Perhaps the person who wants to hang up simply doesn’t want totalk any more,but it isn’t polite to say that. The excuse is more polite,and it doesn’t hurt the other person.Whether they are greeting each other,talking about an idea,of finishing a talk,people don’t say exactly that they are thinking.It’s an important way that people try to be nice to each other,and it’s part of the game of language.( )1.When a person in America asks“How are you?”,he or she wants to hear“”A.How are you?B.HelloC.I don’t know.D.Fine( )2.When a person disagree with someone,it is polite to say“”A.You are wrong.I disagree.B.I’m not sure.C.I’m sure I disagree.D.No, I disagree.( )3.A polite way to finish talk is to say“”A.You have to go now.B.I want to hang up.C.I have to go now.D.I don’t want to talk any mo re.( )4.When a person says“I’ve to go now.Someone’s at the door.”,the person may be________..A.giving an excuseB.hurting someone’s feelingC.illD.asking you a question( )5.The rule of the game of language is probably .A.“Always say what you mean”B.“Don’t disagree with people.”C.“Never say exactly what you’re thinking.”D.“Be polite.”BI’ve loved my mother’s desk since I was just tall enough to sit above the top of is Mother sat wriging letters. Standing by her chair,looking at the ink bottle, pens,and white paper,I decided that the act of writing must be a most be a most wonderful thing in the world.Years later,during her final illness,Mother kept different things for my sister and brother.“But the desk,”she said again“is for Elizabeth.”I never saw her angry,never saw her cry.I knew she loved me;she showed it action. But as a young girl.I wanted to have heart-to-heart talks between mother and daughter. They never happened.And a gulf opened b etween us. I was “too emotional（易动感的）”.But she lived“on the surface（表面）”.As years passed and I had my own family. I loved my mother and thanked her for our happy family. I wrote to her in careful words and asked her to let me know in any way she chose that she did forgive me.My hope tumed to disappointment,then little interest and, finally,peace-it seemed that nothing happened. I couldn’t be sure that the letter had even got to Mother. I only knew that I had written it,and I could stop trying to make her into someone she was not.But the present of her desk told me, as she’d never been able to,that she was pleased that writing was my chosen work.. I cleaned the desk carefully and found some papers inside-a photo of my father and a one-page letter,folded and refolded many times.It was my letter.“In any way you choose,Mother,you always chose the act that speaks louder than words.”( )6.The writer began to love her mother’s deskA.after Mother diedB.before she became a writerC.when she was a childD.when Mother gave it to her( )7.The passage shows that .A.

Out of all the coolest inventions of the year,Time chose Spaceship One as the best. Spaceship One is a 6-meter-long white spaceship. On June 21,American pilot Mike Melvill flew it to space and back-about 100 kilometers up into the sky.（1）Some might say it’s not a big deal.You know,people went to the moon years ago.Well, Spaceship One is special because（2）it is the first spaceship that wasn’t made by the government.It was built and launched（发射）by a private US company.Lots of people want to travel in space.But it’s too expensive.American milliomaire DennisTito paid almost US $ 20 million to become the first space tourist to visit the International Station in 2001. So private companies began to think of making their own spaceship to take other tourists up into space.（3）飞船一号的成功是一个好的开端。
