Please stay in order and don’t crowd each other. Our bus 116 is ready to serve you. Our final station is the summer holiday and now we are at our first station: beginning of the term after the winter holiday. Please take your bags and get on the bus with your tickets. Thank you very much. Our bus is going to leave at 8 a.m. on March 7th and it won’t wait for anybody. Please show your ticket (homework) when you get on. If you have no ticket (homework), I think you must spend some time finishing it first. Please don’t think about copying from others because you will face serious punishment. Thank you!16．The final station of this bus is ______.A．the winter holidayB．the summer holidayC．the beginning of the termD．the end of the holiday17．Which of the statements is True according to the passage?A．We must show our tickets when we get on.B．We must get on the bus at 9 a. m. on March 8th.C．We needn’t stay in order on the bus because it isn’t crowded at all.D．We needn’t take any tickets because the bus is ready to serve us.18．Who most probably gives the above speech?A．A driver.B．A student.C．A teacher.D．A manager.We are all called upon to make a speech at some point in life, but most of us don't do a very good job. This article gives some suggestions on how to give an effective speech.So, you have to give a speech and you're fearful. You get nervous, you forget what you want to say, you stumble over (结结巴巴地说）words, you talk too long and you bore your audience. Later you think,“ Thank goodness, it's over. I'm just no good at public speaking. I hope I never have to do that again.”Cheer up! It doesn't have to be that bad. Here are some simple steps to take the pain out of speech making. Ask yourself the purpose of your speech. What is the occasion(场合)? Why are you speaking? Then, gather as many facts as you can on your subject. Spend plenty of time doing your research. Then spend plenty of time organizing your material so that your speech is clear and easy to follow. Use as many examples as possible and use pictures, charts and graphs if they will help you make your points more clearly. Never forget your audience. Don't talk over their heads so that they can understand what you say. They will appreciate your thoughtfulness.Just remember: Be prepared. Know your subject, your audience and the occasion. Be brief. Say what you have to say and then stop. And be yourself. Let your personality come through so that you make person-to-person contact with your audience.If you follow these simple steps, you'll see that you don't have to be afraid of public speaking. In fact, you may find the experience so enjoyable that you volunteer to make more speeches! You're not sure yet. Give it a try and see what happens.19．From Paragraph 2 we can know that many people________.A．talk too much in a speechB．are happy to give a speechC．are afraid to give a speechD．can give a good speech20．Which of the following is TRUE according to the passage?A．You can speak as long as you like.B．You should avoid contacting with audience.C．You should remember what you have to say and when to stop.D．The more speeches you make, the more afraid you will be.21．The underlined expression “talk over their heads” means “ ________ ”.A．speak too loudlyB．look at the ceilingC．look at the paper all the timeD．use difficult words and ideas22．The main idea of the passage is that ____________ .A．a poor speaker can never changeB．it's easy to make a short speechC．you need to respect your audienceD．how you can improve your speaking abilityI used to watch her from my kitchen window. She seemed so small as she muscled（使劲挤出）her way through the crowd of boys on the playground. The school was across the street from our home and I would often watch the kids as they played during break. I remember the first day I saw her playing basketball. I watched in wonder as she ran circles around the other kids. She managed to shoot jump shots just over their heads and into the net. The boys always tried to stop her but no one could. I began to notice her at other times, basketball in hand, playing alone.One day I asked her why she practiced so much. Without a moment of hesitation she said, “I want to go to college. The only way I can go is to get a scholarship（奖学金）. I am going to play college basketball. I want to be the best. My Daddy told me if the dream is big enough, the facts don’t count.” Well, I had to give it to her—she was determined. I watched her through those junior high years and into high school. Every week, she led her school team to victory.One day, I saw her sitting in the grass, head in her arms. I walked across the street and sat down in the cool grass beside her. Quietly I asked what was wrong. “Oh, nothing”, came asoft reply, “I am just too short.” The coach told her that at 165cm she would probably neverget to play for a top team—much less offered a scholarship—so she should stop dreaming about college. She was heartbroken and I felt my own throat tighten(喉咙哽噎) as I sensed her disappointment. I asked her if she had talked to her dad about it yet. She told me that her father said those coaches were wrong. _____________. He told her that if she truly wanted a scholarship and that nothing could stop her except one thing — her own attitude.The next year, as she and her team went to the Northern California Championship game, she was offered a scholarship and on the college team. She was going to get the college education that she had dreamed of.23．The author was probably the girl’s .A．neighbor B．friend C．mother D．teacher 24．Why was the girl heartbroken?A．She was considered too short to be a top player.B．Her coach stopped her training because of her height.C．She couldn’t be on a college basketball team.D．She wouldn’t attend her favourite college.25．Which of the following is the best for the _______in Paragraph 2?A．They should encourage everyone to play basketball.B．They should not give up their dreams.C．They didn’t know what a father should do for his child.D．They just did not understand the power of a dream.26．Which proverb best matches the story?A．Practice makes perfect.B．Rome was not built in a day.C．Where there is a will, there is a way.D．Pride comes before a fall.Lidong came on November 8 this year. It is the Chinese word for one of the 24 solar terms (节气). It means the beginning of winter.As the weather gets colder and there is less sunlight, people are more likely to get sick. Adults in the US usually have two to four colds each year. Young children suffer from six to eight colds per year, especially in winter months, according to the American Lung Association. One of the best ways to keep healthy during winter is to stay warm.There are many ways to stay warm. A living room should be around 18-21 C, and you can also use a hot water bottle or at least 16 C．blanket to keep warm while in bed. Getting plenty of exercise is always a good idea. Take a walk on a sunny afternoon, do a long distance run or skip rope. These things keep your blood moving and your metabolism (新陈代谢) fired up. Food gives us energy and helps to warm us from the inside. High-protein (高蛋白的) foods, like fish and meat, provide a lot of energy. Add some things to your winter dishes, such as ginger, pepper and garlic. These things can make you warm. A winter coat warms you up from the outside. Add several layers of thin clothing, for example, a shirt and a thin sweater, to stay even warmer. Clothes made from wool are usually very warm.How to make winter days colorful? Is it too cold to play outside? Don’t worry. Here are some tips for having fun at home. Give it a try!■ Enjoy a movie with your parents. There are a lot of choices, such as Spy Kids. You can also talk about the movie with your parents after it’s over.■ Cook a meal with your parents. You can cook some simple dishes, such as scrambled eggs with tomato. You may need your mother’s help for the first time.■ Clean your bedroom. You need to sweep the floor, tidy your desk and make your bed. By doing this, you really help your mother a lot.■ Read your favorite book. Reading is not only helpful for your writing ability, but can also help to build your character.27．According to the passage, we can ___________ to have fun at home in winter days. A．wear some warm clothesB．get a lot of indoor exerciseC．add some things to the foodD．cook some dishes with parents28．The passage is most probably taken from the __________ part of a magazine. A．health B．travel C．society D．food 29．The writer writes the passage by__________.A．doing research B．making a surveyC．giving examples D．having interviews30．The purpose of this writing is mainly to tell us ___________.A．some of the 24 solar terms in a year.B．the changes of the weather in winter days.C．some ways to stay warm and have fun in winter daysD．the reasons why people in the US easily get sick in winter三、用单词的正确形式完成句子用方框中所给词的适当形式填空，每个词只能用一次。

B Have you ever been to Singapore? For many Chinese tourists, this small island in Southeast Asia is a wonderful place to take a holiday. On the one hand, more than three quarters of the population are Chinese, so you can simply speak Putonghua a lot of time.

Have you ever tried Chinese food outside of China? Maybe you fear that you won't be able to find anything to eat in a foreign country. In Singapore, however, you'll find a lot of food from China, you won't have any problem finding rice, noodles, or dumplings. If you're feeling brave, Singapore is an excellent place to try new food. Whether you like Indian food, western food, or Japanese food, you'll find it all in Singapore! Most large cities have zoos, but have you ever been to a zoo at night? Singapore has a night zoo called the "Night Safari". It might seem strange to go to a zoo when it's dark. But if you've ever been to a zoo during the daytime, you might understand why this zoo is so special. A lot of animals only wake up at night, so this is the best time to watch them. If you go to see lions, tigers, or foxes during the daytime, they'll probably be asleep! At the Night Safari, you can watch these animals in a more natural environment than a normal zoo.
