Studying abroad can be a difficult experience, so you had better remember the following things.

You can not completely(完全)enter another country if not leaving your home behind. When you are abroad, do not always speak on your mobile phone to people at home or spend too much time on the Internet.

If you want to learn the language, you have to practise it. Because practice makes perfect. If you have made a choice to study in a foreign country, forget your pride(骄傲)and don't be afraid to make mistakes. It is natural for anyone to make mistakes when learning a new language. This is how we learn.

Be 10 times more polite than usual. People are more likely to be helpful and patient if you are nice and polite. If you are staying with a family, make sure to clean the room and make your bed, and always be polite when talking to them.

Try to get into the local society. School is important, but the cultural experience is also very important. We all like to get good grades and do well in school, but we can not fully understand the culture only in the classroom.

Do not waste your time. Everyone has bad days when they miss home. These days will pass. Remember that you are one of the few lucky people. Go and learn about the world and, most importantly, have fun.

55. When you are in another country, it is better for you not to .

A. get into the local society B. be polite to others C. always speak on your mobile phone to people at home D. forget your pride 56. When a person is studying abroad, .

A. he/she should try to get into the local society B. he/she can't go out of the classroom C. he/she can get good grades

D. he/she can see the cultural experience is not very important 57. Why did the writer write this article?

B. To tell people not to study abroad.

C. To teach people how to learn a language.

D. To tell people what they shouldn’t do abroad. C

Have you ever wondered why birds sing? Maybe you thought that they were just happy. After all, you probably sing when you are happy．

Some scientists believe that birds do sing some of the time just because they are happy. However, they sing most of the time for a very different reason. Their singing is actually a warning to other birds to stay out of their territory.

Do you know what a“territory”is. A territory is an area that an animal, usually the male (雄性的) animal, thinks as its own. Only he and his family are welcome there. No other families of the same animals are welcome. Your yard and house are your territory where only your family

and friends are welcome. If a stranger should enter your territory and frighten you, you might shout. Probably this would be enough to frighten him away.

If so, you have actually scared (吓走) the stranger away without having to fight him. A bird does the same thing. But he expects an outsider almost any time, especially at nesting season. So he is screaming all the time, whether he can see an outsider or not. This screaming is what we call a bird's song, and it is usually enough to keep an outsider away.

Birds sing loudest in spring when they are trying to attract (吸引) a mate and warn others not to enter the territory of theirs.

You can see that birds have a language of their own. Most of it has to do with attracting mates and setting up territories.

58. Some scientists believe that most of the time bird's singing is actually . A. an expression of happiness B. a way of warning C. an expression of anger D. a way of greeting 59. What does the underlined word“territory”mean? A. An area which a bird considers to be its own.

B. An area for which birds fight against each other.

C. A place where a bird may shout at the top of its voice.

D. A place where families of other species (物种) are not welcome. 60. Why do birds keep on singing at nesting season? A. Because they want to invite more friends. B. Because they want to find outsiders around. C. Because they want to express their happiness.

D. Because their singing helps frighten outsiders away. 61. How does the writer explain birds' singing?

A. By telling a bird's story. B. By describing birds' daily life. C. By reporting experiment(实验) results.

D. By comparing(比较) birds with human beings. D

Still in shock! I moved around the house purposelessly trying to decide what to put into the suitcases (行李箱). Earlier that evening, I’d received a call telling me that my brother was killed in a car crash. “Come as soon as you can.” cried my mother.

I wanted to hurry to her at once. But my husband, Larry, and I were packing to move from New York to Seattle. Our house was in total mess. Supper dishes sat on the kitchen table. Toys lay everywhere. I purposelessly picked things up and put them down. Mother’s crying went through my head again and again.

Larry called some friends to tell them what had happened. Someone asked to speak to me. “If there’s anything I can do, let me know.” But I didn’t know what to ask for.

Suddenly, the doorbell rang. It was Emerson. He and his wife Donna lived in the block nearby. “I’ve come to clean your shoes,” he said. I asked him to repeat.

“Donna had to stay with the baby,” he said, “but we want to help you. I remember when my father died, it took me hours to clean our shoes for the funeral (葬礼). Give me all your shoes.”

I gathered all our dirty shoes to the kitchen. Emerson got to work right away. Watching him devoting himself to one task helped me pull my own thoughts into order. I told myself to wash clothes first. Then, Larry and I bathed the children and put them to bed. One job after another.

When we returned to clear the dishes, Emerson had left. All our shoes stood in a line against the wall, clean, shining. I couldn’t help crying. Early next morning, we left for the airport with all the jobs done.

Now whenever I hear of a friend who’s lost a loved one, I no longer call with the polite offer, “If there’s anything I can do …” Instead I try to think of one specific task that suits that man’s need, like taking the dog to the boarding kennel, or house-sitting during the

funeral. If the person asks, “How did you know I needed that one?” I reply, “Because a man once cleaned my shoes.”

62. The writer didn’t know what to put into the suitcases because _____.

A. she couldn’t do it on her own B. she was too sad to do anything C. she wanted to take everything to Seattle D. she was not good at housework 63. Here’s a time line of what happened in the story.

The writer’s brother The writer They left for was killed in a car washed the

crash. clothes. the airport. Which of the events should go in the empty box above? A. Emerson came to clean the shoes. B. The couple bathed the children.

C. They cleared the supper dishes D. The writer found the shoes cleaned.

. If one of her friends has lost a loved one, what will the writer probably NOT do?

A. Call her friend to ask what she can do. B. Look after her friend’s young children.

C. Take her friends’s dog to the boarding kennel. D. Offer her friend house-sitting during the funeral. 65. Which sentences best expresses the theme of this story?

A. One person’s loss is another’s gain. B. An act of kindness is often rewarded.

C. A near neighbour is better than a brother far off. D. Do something specific to help those in need. 四、词汇(10’)

Jaden is a six-year-old boy. He experienced the unlucky things of life twice. First he lost his dad when he was four and his mom died unexpectedly in her sleep last month. Jaden's heart was broken. His parents' death hit him a lot.

But things always go towards a good side. A few weeks later. Jaden told his aunt that he was tired of seeing everyone sad all the time. He'd like to see more smiles around him. He hoped that the number of the smiles could reach 100.

Then he asked his aunt to buy him some little toys and take him to the center of the city. \"I′m trying to make people smile,\" said Jaden. At first, he was not sure if the passengers would

like to receive his toys. In fact, he was always successful and got close to his dream step by step, because no one could refuse such a little boy's giving and expecting.

\"I'm keeping a count of 100 smiles,\" said Jaden. When asked if he could make it, he answered, \"I think I can.\" Reported by Barbara

Everyone that lives in big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou etc, knows that there is a lot of traffic! Wherever you go, you can see the crowded streets with cars, buses, bikes and people. It seems that everyone is always in a hurry! In such a situation, accidents might happen. But if we all slowed down a little and paid more attention to the traffic rules, accidents would be avoided(避免). However, sometimes the fact isn’t like that!

How many times have you tried to cross the street even when the light has become red? It seems as if it would be so easy to just quickly run across, or rush in between cars and buses. But this causes a dangerous problem. Crossing the street when the light is red will only save you a few seconds; it is not worth(值得的) risking(使……冒险)your life.

When I was growing up, my mother always told me the two sayings “Better safe than sorry” and “Better late than never”. That’s to say, it is always better to be careful and arrive safely at the place you hope to go. Things would not be much worse if everyone would wait their turn to cross the street.

For Wilson, the two most important things to take with him when he travels abroad are his passport and his mobile phones. He books his plane tickets and hotel rooms through the Internet, and he enters all the information into his mobile phone. “I don’t even need to print my tickets out any more,” says Wilson. “I can do everything online.”

How people travel and go on holiday has changed a lot over the past years. Airlines, hotels, travel agencies all have their own websites. People can plan and book their holidays in just a few clicks. Today everything is easier, faster and smarter.

In fact, many people do not use guidebook any more. Instead, they go to travel websites for the maps and information. These websites also let travellers write about and show photos of the sights, hotels, shops and restaurants they went to. This means other people can read about their experiences and decide whether they want to visit these places too. The Internet has made it easier for everyone to share their experiences and thoughts with each other.

In recent years, WeChat is becoming fashionable and popular. It has made a difference to our daily life.

We used to get in touch (communicate) with each other by letters and emails, but now more and more people are using WeChat. We can send voice and text messages through WeChat as well as pictures and videos easily. By using it, making friends is becoming easier. And we can share our life experiences faster. However, there are also some problems. Using WeChat too often is not good for students’ study. And it is not safe for students to make friends by WeChat.

I think WeChat is helpful to us, but we should always be careful.

When they get older, they want to buy more and more things. They want things that are more expensive than candy. So they have to work harder! They often help their parents wash the family car, cut the grass, or cook meals.

Some jobs are a good way for kids to learn new things. For example, they can learn how to use a lawnmower(割草机) or how to cook. Of course, their parents help them at first. 76.

Dear Grandma

How time flies! I have spent about three months in this new place. I still remember the hard trip to this place. My parents and I traveled by boat first and then by bus. It took us almost one week to get here. There are no stores here. We have to go to the town center if we need to buy something. And there’s only one bus going between the town center and this place.

I miss where we used to live. There were stores there and I had friends. But my father said we should move here because we would have a better future. There are kids living near us and I hope they will be my friends. But now I don’t have time to play with them, because I’m helping my father build a house. We are really busy.

My mother has just had a new baby. I’m really happy to have a new brother and I’m helping to take care of him. Most of the time he is sleeping and sometimes he smiles at me. You would be glad to see him.

It’s cold here and there isn’t much food for us now. But luckily spring is coming soon. Then we can grow more food. Mother says she will grow corn and potatoes.

I miss you and Grandpa very much. Can you come to visit us one day? Yours,

Joe

Just at that time, a man walked to him. Excuse me, I bought two boxed meals for my son and me, but one is enough for us. We hate to waste food. Can you help us? \" He handed the boy a boxed meal.

The boy thanked him and opened the box happily. Suddenly he stopped. He ran to an old woman in dirty clothes, \"A man brought me this warm meal but I just finished eating. Can you help me?\" He placed the box in the old woman’s hands.

“Sure, son, but you need to share the sandwich and cake with me. It's too much for me.” We were all touched. Dad went away and soon returned with two cups of coffee and a salad. He went to the boy and the woman, \"Excuse me...”

Hi. I’m Fran. I’m a fire ant(红火蚁). I have a very big family. I live with my mom and lots of sisters. My mom’s job is to lay hundreds of eggs(产卵) every day. My sisters and I are workers. We build our house, look for food and do many other things. I take care of the eggs and larvae(幼虫). It's my job to carry them from room to room, so they don’t get too hot or too cold. Larvae can’t walk, but they eat and grow! As they get bigger, they molt(脱壳) four times before becoming pupae(蛹).

Pupae are white. They don’t eat or move. They just get darker and then finish growing. Then they molt one last time and become full-grown fire ant workers.

Today, some of my sisters found a big piece of bread. They cut it up and tried to take a piece back to our home. On the way, they left a special smell(气味)so others could find the food and help carry it back.

OK, it’s time to feed the larvae now. Got to go! Bye! 66. What’s the job of Fran’s mom?

When my family moved to Ohio over the summer, I feared going to another new school and knowing no one because I was able to expect what was coming. I had bright red hair and huge glasses. Besides, I was 14 and not very popular.

Getting on the school bus that first day, I felt like all eyes on me. I could hear the words \"She's huge!\" Clearly, the kids on the bus had known each other well. I spent that first bus 15 in silence.

The following day was even worse. I did not notice that a few boys had tied a rope across the aisle(通道) and then fell face first on the bus, 16 everything I was carrying. 17 I was uneasily gathering my things, I could hear the laughter, and then the words \"That felt like an earthquake!\" Anyway, I 18 to find a seat.

one say The

The giant panda is an endangered species, and there are only about 2,000 giant pandas left in the world. People have been trying hard to protect giant pandas. It looks like their work

is paying off because the number of giant pandas is increasing. 29. Why do some people call “pandas” panda bears?

A. Because they look like bears. B. Because they like to live with bears. C. Because they are often regarded as bears.

D. Because they are mammals classified from the bear family. 30. What do pandas like eating most?

A. Bamboo. B. Fish. C. Bananas. D. Oranges. 31. How many baby pandas can a female panda have in her life?

A. Three. B. Four or five. C. Five or six. D. More than seven. 32. What does the phrase “paying off ” mean in the last paragraph? A. To result in success. B. To pay money on it.

Dear Mr. King,

Your supermarket chain is excellent in many ways. I enjoy the things you sell, such as the selection of produce (农产品) and fresh bakery items. I have been a long time supermarket shopper and hope to continue for many years. I have found, however, that I must make a separate shopping trip to one of your competitors because there are many items your store does not carry. This becomes inconvenient for me, as my time is valuable, and I do not like to make two trips. Your low prices and excellent customer service keep me coming back to your supermarket, but I would be a more satisfied customer if I could find all the items I need in one place.

To tell the truth, I have never been able to purchase nacho (烤干酪辣味玉米片) cheese soup at your store. I can find other flavors (味道) of soup, but your store does not carry nacho cheese soup, a common ingredient (原料) in many of my recipes. In addition, I can only find large wonton wrappers (馄饨皮), while many other stores carry both large and small and offer a more varied selection for their customers. Another example is Regent Brand Chili Seasoning. Though it is not a leading brand, it is still common on the shelves of other grocery stores in this area and is superior in flavor to its competitors.

I sincerely hope to continue a relationship with your store, and I hope that you will consider the possibility of expanding your goods to be more competitive. Yours truly, Bob Watson

33. According to the passage, who often buy things in the supermarket?

A. Mr. King. B. Bob Watson. C. Regent Brand. D. Mrs. Watson.

34. From the first paragraph, we know the supermarket chain ________.

A. meets all the writer’s needs C. offers good customer service

B. is the best in every way

D. is far from the writer’s home

35. How does the writer present his point in Paragraph Two?

A. By giving examples.

B. By using some sharp words. C. By providing scientific findings. D. By comparing two different stores. 四、根据句意及所给的首字母补全单词。（10分） 36. What do you want to do in the f__t__re.

What do you write down? For most of us, writing consists of emails, task lists and perhaps the odd work project. However, making time to write down certain things, such as our daily experiences and feelings, can help us in our life.

The following are some different ways that writing things down can change your life.  It clears your mind for higher-level thinking.

David Allen, productivity speaker and author of Getting Things Done, recommends doing what he calls a “core dump”. This involves writing down every task, activity, and project you need to address. This could range from picking up milk on the way home, to a multi-person project at work. Writing down every ‘to-do’ item you can think of clearing space in your head for more important topics.

 It helps you process your emotions.

Writing down what’s on your mind is a great way to work through inner conflict or process your feelings around a particular situation. It’s similar to talking a situation through with

a friend, and it’s a useful way of strengthening your self-soothing (自我安慰) abilities.

 It gives you a record of the past.

If you keep a diary and regularly write down your thoughts and feelings, you’ll soon have a record of your experiences that you might otherwise have forgotten. Keeping a diary can also enhance your levels of self-trust. When you can look back and see how successfully you’ve done in the past, you’ll feel more confident in your ability to do so in the future.

 You gain a sense of achievement.

If you write down everything you need to do in a particular day or week, you gain an additional sense of satisfaction. When having completed the task, you can cross the item off our list. Feeling productive enhances your productivity and fosters a sense of achievement and progress. 41. Can writing down things help us in our daily life?

42. How many ways can writing down things help us change our life? 43. According to David Allen’s idea, what does a “core dump” mean? 44. What is the advantage of keeping a diary? 45. What is the passage mainly about? 六、文段表达。(共17分)

46. 根据中文和英文提示，写一封意思连贯、符合逻辑，不少于50词的文段。

假设你叫李雷，你的笔友Tony给你写了一封电子邮件，他想了解一下中国传统的节日。请你给他回封信，回答他邮件中提出的问题。 Dear Li Lei,

Nowadays more and more children seem to get lost in a \"sea of digital(数字) technology\".

As they use digital technology too much, they are losing their ability to do simple things. They can't make toys themselves with hands or help Mum cook dinner. And worst of all, they seem to be losing interest in communicating with others.

\"I have talked with a number of teachers. They care about the increasing numbers of young pupils who can play with computers or smart phones, but have few or no skills to make things.\" said a teacher, Colin Kinney. \"Many pupils can't communicate with other pupils but their parents talk proudly of their ability to use a computer or a smart phone.\"

Instead of playing with other children, more and more children are choosing to stay indoors and quietly play on a tablet (平板电脑)on weekends and after school. How can a child grow up to be a very good artist if he doesn't learn how to use a paintbrush and develop his painting skill? How can a child learn to make friends as he gets older if he doesn't learn to communicate with others at a young age?

Digital technology can be used for good or bad. We can use a stone to either break a window or build a house. We shouldn′t blame the children. We should help them make right choices. It is certainly necessary for children to know how to use digital technology in today's world, but what is more important, we should encourage them to develop social abilities which will do them good when they grow up.

( )56. What's the worst problem that is mentioned in the first paragraph?

A. Children can't make things themselves. B. Children make too many friends online.

C. Children don't want to communicate with others.

D. Children don't like helping Mum cook meals at home.

( )57. According to Colin Kinney, which of the following is TRUE?

A. Teachers don't notice that young pupils have few skills to make things. B. Many parents are very happy that their kids can use digital technology. C. Many teachers don't care if young pupils can play computers or tablets. D. Some parents are worried that their kids use digital technology too much.

( )58. What do many young children choose to do on weekends and after school?

A. To play on a tablet indoors. B. To paint with their paintbrushes. C. To play with other children. D. To make friends with other children.

( )59. What does the underlined word \"blame\" mean in Chinese?

A.表扬 B.原谅 C.评价 D.责怪

( )60. What does the writer mainly want to tell us?

A. It's very important for children to have social skills. B. It's very helpful for children to do some housework.

C. It's necessary for parents to learn to use digital technology.

D. It's difficult for teachers to make right choices for their pupils.

Watch where you work

A bedroom, study or any room where you can get away from noise is good for you to do your homework. But don't study on your comfortable bed, or you might fall asleep there. Take a break

Most people’s attention (注意力) don’t last very long, so take some breaks while doing your homework. Sitting for too long without relaxing will make you less productive(多产的) than if you stop to take a break regularly. Taking a 15-minute break every hour is a good way for most people.

Get help when you need it

He or she may work with you before or after school and explain things more clearly. Your classmates may also help you. However, this might not give you the results you want.

“Cool” is a word with many meanings. Its old meaning is used to express a temperature that is a little bit cold. As the world has changed, the word has had many different meanings. “Cool” can be used to express feelings of interest in almost anything. When you see a famous car in the street, maybe you will say “It's cool.” You may think, “He's so cool,” when you see your favorite footballer.

We all maximize (扩大) the meaning of “cool”. You can use it instead of many words such as “new” or “surprising”. Here's an interesting story we can use to show the way the word is used. A teacher asked her students to write about the waterfall (瀑布) they had visited. On one student's paper was just the one sentence, “It's so cool”. Maybe he thought it was the best way to show what he saw and felt.

But the story also shows a scarcity (缺乏) of words. Without “cool”, some people have no words to show the same meaning. So it is quite important to keep some credibility(可信性). Can you think of many other words that make your life as colorful as the word “cool”? I can. And I think they are also very cool.

( )56. We know that the word “cool” has ________.xkb1

A. only one meaning B. no meanings C. many different meanings D. the same meaning ( )57. In the passage, the word “express” means“________”.

A. see B. show C. know D. feel ( )58. If you are ________ something, you may say, “It's cool.”

A. interested in B. angry about C. afraid of D. unhappy with ( )59. The writer takes an example to show he is the way the word is used. A. pleased with B. strange to C. worried about D. careful with

( )60. In the passage, the writer suggests (暗示) that the word “cool”_______. A. can be used instead of many words B. usually means something interesting C. can make your life colorful D. may not be as cool as it seems

Health is very important for us. In order to stay healthy, we need to know some common knowledge.

Firstly, pay attention to the diet. We should eat lots of fruit and vegetables, because they are rich in Fiber(维生素) and low in fat(脂肪). As a proverb says, ①\"An apple a day keeps the doctor away.\" So fruit is good for health. Don't have a lot of food that contains__②___fat, such as butter. Meanwhile(同时), sweets should be eaten in proper quantity, because too much sugar ③does harm(有害)to us. Don't drink too much coffee, either.

Secondly, exercise is necessary. Regular exercise can help keep us from getting fat. People who do running every day usually have stronger hearts than those who don't.

Finally, form (养成) good living habits. We should sleep for about 8 hours at night, and never work too hard. Too much work and little sleep will lead to illness. What's more, stay away from cigarettes.

These are the things we should pay attention to so as to stay healthy.

If you go into the forest(森林) with friends, stay with them .If you don’t, you may get lost. If you do get lost, you should do the following things:

Sit down and stay where you are. Don’t try to find your friends. Let them find you. You can help them to find you by stay in one place.

There is another way to help your friends or other people to find you. Give them a signal(信号)shouting or whistling (吹口哨) three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. Keep on shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will give two shouts or two whistles. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help.

If you don’t think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a small room with

branches（树枝）. What should you do if you get hungry or need drinking water? You would have to leave your little branch room to look for something to eat and drink. Don’t just walk away. Pick up small brunches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back.

Computers are useful machines. They can help people a lot in their everyday life. For example, they can help people save much time, and they can help people work out many problems they can’t do easily. Our country asks everyone to learn to use computers except the old people. Today more and more families own computers. Parents buy computers for their children. They hope computers can help them improve (提高) their studies in school. Yet many of the children use computers to play games, to watch video or to sing Karaoke, instead of studying. So many teachers and parents complain (抱怨) that computers can not help children to study but make them fall behind（落后）. So computers are locked (被锁)by parents in the boxes.

In some other countries, even some scientists hate computers. They say computers let millions of people lost their jobs or bring them a lot of trouble.

Will computers really bring trouble to people or can they bring people happiness? It will be decided by people themselves.

It's difficult because it depends on who you compare yourself to. Most people compare themselves with those around them .Am I happier than my classmates or my friends？We also compare ourselves with people we never meet. When we compare so，we may feel sad easily.

People like sad stories. We are interested in other people's sadness，but we don't let others know our own. Psychologists(心理学家) find that people don't feel like telling others when they're sad or upset，but will shout if they are happy. People often show their happiness in public(公共场所) while hiding their sadness. As the famous thinker Montesquieu said about 300 years ago：

“If we only want to be happy，it will be easy. But if we want to be happier than other people，it is almost always difficult. Because we think them happier than they are.”

Why should students play sports ? Some people think that students play sports in order to get exercise．Others think it can help students have fun．But that is not enough．If students play sports, they can get more than healthy bodies．Why? Here are three more reasons．

Students who play sports do better in school．Some people think that doing exercise will take up students’ study time．But a recent study has shown that students who play sports get better scores in school than those who don’t．Exercise gets students to learn, remember things and concentrate (集中注意力)better．

Students who play sports develop their teamwork spirits and learn problem-solving skills．When they are working together with others to win games and reach goals, they’re learning how to be very successful in practice．And these skills will be useful to them for study or their future work．

Playing sports can also improve confidence．Students who play sports feel better about themselves．When they know they can improve and reach their goals by practicing, it builds their confidence．And sports can also help them communicate with others actively and make new friends．

Now, how about going out to play sports with your friends every day? (76) _________ should students play sports? Common reasons Students play sports to get exercise (77) _________have fun． Playing sports helps students get (78) ________ scores in school．It also makes them learn, (79) ________ things and concentrate better． Students who play sports can learn how to have a great (81) More (80) _______ in practice． _______[:Z+xx+kStudents develop teamwork spirits and learn how to (82) ] ________ problems． Playing sports can (83) _________ confidence, too． Sports can help students (84) _________ with others and make new friends． Advice Students should (85) _________ out to play sports with friends every day． 六、阅读与回答问题。(每题2分，计10分)

It was already 8:30 in the morning. Lin Tao, a 14-year-old schoolboy, still didn’t show up at school. He was often later for school! The teacher called his father and got to know he played computer games online late the night before and couldn’t get up that morning. In fact, he had played online games since the age of 11. He almost dropped out of school last year.

Lin Tao is not alone. Information from China Internet Center shows that the number of teenage Internet users in China had been about 170 million by the end of December, 2018. Many of them, like Lin Tao, spend too much time playing computer game online.

To solve this problem, the Chinese government worked out a draft regulation (法规草案) in January this year. According to the regulation, players need to use their own ID cards to play online games. game companies will control teenagers’ online game time. They will not be able to play online games between 12:00 at night and 8:00 in the morning. If they are still playing during the time, the game companies will lock them out.

Many people think that the regulation can surely better protect Chinese young

game players online, while others think if it can successful stop them from playing games too much. “More and more people come to know that playing online games too much not only brings teenagers healthy and study problems, but also makes them upset and lonely, ” Tong Xiaojun, a director from a university, told CCTV. We need support from the whole society to solve the problem.”

A. 8:00 pm B. 11:00 pm C. 6:00 am D. 9:00 am

( ) 8. We can learn from the passage that ______.

One day he was sick of staying home and wanted to go out. He passed a CD store and looked through the front door for a second. He saw a beautiful girl about his age and he knew it was love at first eye. He opened the door and walked in, not looking at anything else but her.

Several weeks later the phone rang, and the mother picked it up. It was the girl!!! The mother started to cry and said, “You don’t know? He passed away yesterday…” Later that day, the mother went into the boy’s room and opened the drawer. Inside were lots of unopened CDs. She picked one up and opened it.

Stephen Hawking was born in Oxford, England on 8th January, 1942. He went to school in St Allbans, a small city near London. Although he did well, he was never top of his class.

After leaving school, Hawking went first to Oxford University where he studied physics and then went to Cambridge University where he studied cosmology(宇宙学). As he himself admits, he didn’t work hard. He used to be a very lazy school pupil , and did very little work. However, he still got good grades.

It was at the age of 20 that Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him. He started to bump into things and fell down. When he visited his family at Christmas time, his mother was so worried that she made him see a doctor. Hawking was sent to hospital for tests. Finally, the result came back. Hawking had motor neuron disease（运动神经元病）, an incurable illness which would make him unable to speak, breathe or move without the help of a machine. Doctors said they had no way to help him. He would die before 23.

At first, Hawking became very upset. After a while, though, he started to see his life in a different way. As he later wrote, “Before my illness was diagnosed(诊断), I had been very bored with life. There had not seemed to be anything worth（值得） doing. But shortly after I came out of hospital, I suddenly realized that there were a lot of meaningful things I could do.” Then Hawking got married and found a job at Cambridge University as a professor. He strongly believes that his story shows that nobody, however bad their situation is, should lose hope. “Life is not fair.” He once said. “You just have to do the best you can in your own situation.” ( ) 12. As a university student, Stephen Hawking _______.

A. worked hard B. studied math and physics

C. was the best student in his class D. was lazy and did very little work ( ) 13. Hawking first noticed something was wrong with him when _______.

A. he was sent to hospital for test

B. his mother made him see a doctor C. he was twenty

D. he visited his family at Christmas time one year

( ) 14. In the passage the underlined word “incurable” means _______.

A. 无法治愈的 B. 难以确诊的 C. 常见的 D. 可以治愈的

( ) 15. When Hawking was first diagnosed with motor neuron disease, he _______. A. made a

decision to get married B. became very sad

C. thought that nothing in life was worth(值得的) doing D. started to see his life in a different way

Sleep is like food for the brain. 1 However, many Chinese do not sleep well, and many do not pay enough attention to sleep.

According to the index (指数), nearly a quarter of Chinese people don’t sleep well. 2 and 15 percent people have trouble falling asleep.

Ye Jingying, a sleep expert at Beijing Tongren Hospital, says, “If people often wake up during the night, or always feel weak and tired in the day, they should pay attention to their sleep pattern (模式).”

3 The report said that this is one of the main reasons for bad sleep. Other reasons include stress and bad moods.

4 Above all, get enough sleep. Seven to nine hours of sleep every night is perfect for an adult, and eight to nine hours is best for a teenager.

Having good sleep habits is important. The report advised that people need to keep away from digital devices (数码产品) for at least an hour before sleep. 5 Other advice include:

try to go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day, even on weekends and during holidays, and do the same relaxing things before bed each night, like listening to soft music.

A. Many people play with their cell phones or iPads before sleeping. B. Enough sleep helps the body and brain grow and develop. C. How to sleep well? D.

(A). A young American doctor was sleeping when suddenly his doorbell began to ring. It was already midnight, but what could the doctor do? He had to get up, put on his coat and go downstairs. When he opened the door, he saw a man standing with a hat in his hand. “How do you do?” said the man,“ Can you come at once to a place out of town? It’s quite far but you have a car and I can show you the way.”

“Certainly,” said the doctor, “I’m quite ready. I can come at once.” After a few minutes the car was standing at the front door, the man got into the doctor’s car, and they drove off. They drove on for a long time. Then the man said, “Here we are. This is my home. Now I can pay you and you can go back to town.”

五、阅读表达（10分）

阅读短文，根据要求完成下面各小题。

As an English, I can speak three languages-English, German and French, so do you think the British people are very good language learners? The fact is that they aren’t.

Some statistics(数据) from the survey done by the European Commission(欧盟委员会) showed that only 62% of the British people only speak English. 38% speak at least one foreign language and 18% speak two or more. 43pare with the British people, 56% of the people in other Europe countries speak at least one foreign language and 28% speak two or more. From this you can see that the British people are famousfor not speaking foreign languages and that they are not good language learners in Europe.

And the survey also showed that English is the most widely-spoken foreign language. Many European people can have a conversation in English. That’s why many people don’t think it is necessary to learn a foreign language.

In Britain，students are not required to learn a foreign language. 44 That means learning a foreign language is only an option at school. In UK schools it is common for children to start learning a foreign language at 11 and many of them give it up at 14. So why don’t students continue learning foreign languages at school? Because they think it is more difficult to get good marks in other subjects such as science or history.

To solve this situation，the British government is looking for different ways to improve language learning at school. One way is to start learning it at a much younger age. Another one is to give school children more choices.

Changing the British attitude(态度）to learning foreign languages may be a hard task but the government decides to try! （一）根据短文简要回答问题。

41. Are British people very good language learners?

______________________________________________________________________ 42. List two ways to improve language learning at school in Britain. ______________________________________________________________________ （二）将短文中划线的句子译成汉语。
