I watched my mother bend down by one of the bunches. “I think I’ll dig up (挖光) all these weeds (野草),” she said. “From now on, we’ll 15 have roses in this garden.” “But I like dandelions,” I protested(抗议). “All flowers are 16 —even dandelions !” My mother looked at me seriously. “Yes, every flower gives pleasure in its own way, doesn’t it?” she asked thoughtfully. I nodded. “And that is 17 of people, too,” she added.

The crow watched them with disdain (笔试). “You have no flying skills at all!” he said to the swans. “All you can do is to move your wings. Can you turn over in the air? No, that’s beyond you. Let’s have a flying competition. I’ll show you what real flying is!” One of the swans, a strong young male, took up the challenge (挑战). The crow flew up and began to show his skills. He flew in circles, performed other flying tricks, and then came down and looked proudly at the swan. Now it was the swan’s turn. He flew up, and began flying over the sea. The crow flew after him, making all kinds of comments (评价) about his flying. They flew on and on till they couldn’t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides. The crow was making fewer and fewer comments. He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air, and had to struggle to keep himself from falling into the water. The swan pretended (假装) not to notice, and said, “Why do you keep touching the water, brother? Is that another trick? “ “No,” said the crow. He knew he had lost the competition. “I’m in trouble because of my pride (自大) ! If you don’t help me, I’ll lose my life...” The swan took pity on him, and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach. 21. What’s the correct order of the following events? a. The crow followed the swan and got into trouble. b. The swan felt pity for the crow and saved it. c. The crow had to ask the swan for help. d. The swan accepted a challenge of performing flying tricks. A. a, d, b, c B. a, b, d, c C. d, a, c, b D. d, c, a, b 22. What does the underlined word “exhausted” in Paragraph 4 mean? A. Tired. B. Bored. C. Nervous. D. Frightened. 23. What do we learn from the passage? A. Practice makes perfect. B. The early bird catches the worm. C. No pains, no gains. D. Pride goes before a fall. B Cats are the most popular pets among Americans. So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions about cats. Some cats like to catch small birds, like canaries (金丝雀). If someone looks very proud and satisfied with himself, we say “he looks like the cat that ate the canary.” Sometimes, a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches. So if you “play cat and mouse” with someone, it means that you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person. For example, a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it. Americans might say that something is “the cat’s miaow” or “the cat’s pajamas(睡衣)” to describe something that is the best or finest. “A copycat” is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person’s work. “A fat cat” is a person with a lot of money. If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret, we say you “let the cat out of the bag”. If you are not able to speak or answer a question, someone might ask you if “the cat has got your tongue(舌头)” Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes? “When the cat’s away, the mice will play” means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision (监管). You may have heard the expression “curiosity killed the cat”. This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems. If you have ever had cats as pets, you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something. Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group. So we say a difficult or impossible job is like “herding (放牧) cats “ 24. What can we learn from the passage? A. The expression “a fat cat” is used to describe someone who is very fat. B. The expression “play cat and mouse” usually means “play tricks on others”. C. It is more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats. D. There are more expressions about cats than those about dogs. 25. In which of the following situations do we most probably use the expression “curiosity killed the cat”? A. Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry. B. Someone promised to keep a secret but he failed to do so. C. Someone won the first prize in an English singing competition and he felt very excited. D. Someone tried to swim across the Yangtze River with his newly broken legs. 26. Where can you most probably find the passage? A. In a scientific research paper about cats. B. On a website telling people how to keep cats. C. In a magazine telling various jokes and funny stories. D. In a language book that teaches students how to use American slang. C Have successful people ever felt sad? Do they have any “secrets” to success? The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama’s “back to school” speech. Here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech. I know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work—that your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a TV star, when chances are, you’re not going to be any of those things. But the truth is, being successful is hard. You won’t love every subject you study. Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try. That’s OK. Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who’ve had the most failures. JK Rowling’s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots (投篮) during his career. But he once said, “I have failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.” These people succeeded because they understand that you can’t let your failures beat you—you have to let them teach you. You have to let them show you what to do differently next time. No one’s born being good at things. You become good at things through hard work. Don’t be afraid to ask questions. Don’t be afraid to ask for help when you need it. I do that every day. Asking for help isn’t a sign of weakness; it’s a sign of strength. It shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you don’t know something, and to learn something new. And even when you’re struggling, even when you’re discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on you—don’t ever give up on yourself. Because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country. 27. Why does Barack Obama mention (提到) JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph? A. To compare these two famous persons. B. To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills. C. To show that the two persons were treated unfairly. D. To prove that failure is the mother of success. 28. Which of the following statements is NOT true? A. No one can be successful without working hard. B. Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way. C. Those who believe in themselves shouldn’t ask others for help. D. One should try his best to make his dream come true. 29. Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence? A. One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him. B. One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with. C. One doesn’t have to work hard when he has failed several times. D. One doesn’t have to take others’ advice when they get away from him. D For hundreds Of years, scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people’s emotions (情感). How you feel is controlled by many things. Your emotions can be affected by your personality, by the actions of others and by events around you. Perhaps you don’t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well. People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy. In fact, sunlight makes us feel good. When sunlight hits our skins, our bodies produce a vitamin. Vitamins are natural chemicals (化学物质) which we all need to stay healthy. Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D. Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical. This special chemical affects our brains (大脑) and makes us feel happy. For example, there are long, dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway, so many people in these countries often feel sad. Without much sunlight, their bodies produce less vitamin D. Without enough vitamin D, their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good. To help the people in these countries feel better, special “sunrooms” with artificial (人造的) lights have been built. People can go there and get “sunlight” for an hour or two! The weather can also affect people’s emotions in other ways. Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot. In the same way, rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant. As you can see, the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains. Through these ways, the weather can influence our emotions. Sadly, while the weather can change us, we can hardly change the weather. 30. Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor (因素) that can affect one’s emotions? A. Weather. B. Actions of others. C. Personality. D. Age. 31. Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage? A. It is a kind of artificial chemical. B. It makes us worried by affecting our brains. C. It is needed by us all to keep fit. D. It is in the sunlight. 32. What can we infer (推断) from the passage? A. We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather. B. We will be happy when we are caught in the rain. C. All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter. D. The more vitamin D you have, the happier you’ll be. 33. What may be the best title for this passage? A. Why Do We Feel Sad? B. The Weather Influences People’s Emotions C. People Need More Vitamin D D. We Can Hardly Change the Weather 四、阅读表达(共5小格；每小格1分。满分5分) 阅读下面短文，在 表格 关于规范使用各类表格的通知入职表格免费下载关于主播时间做一个表格详细英语字母大小写表格下载简历表格模板下载 内的空白处填入合适的答案(每格限填一词) We’ve come a long way from blackboards and chalk. Modern technology (技术) has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting. Perhaps most importantly of all, it’s also more interactive (互动). Some kinds of tools (工具) have been developed. They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting. Attracting the attention of students is always difficult, but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn. For example, an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard. It allows the teachers to show images and provide sound as well. If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sound added in, you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom. Various audio (声音的) tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say. In the past, if a teacher said something that a child missed, perhaps the child was too timid (胆小的) or nervous to ask them to repeat it. Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they’re sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them. The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing. For example, imagine a history lesson is given in a modern classroom. How is it different from a classroom setting in the past? The answer is simple. The students will not only learn about history itself, they will also learn how to use the modern equipment (设备) that helps the teacher get their message across. Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier. Student response (应答) system makes everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up. Since everyone can do it, the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways. It’s clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms. Topic Modern technology helps us make teaching and learning more interesting and interactive. (34) ▲ of using modern technology in the classroom 1. Make it much easier to attract pupils’ (35) ▲ by using different tools. ●Whiteboards allow teachers to show colorful images and provide sound. ●Audio tools make students hear the teacher’s (36) ▲ even if they sit too far away from the teacher. 2.

Make teaching and learning easier. ●Student response system makes students give their opinions or answers without (38) ▲ up and allows teachers to help students when necessary. Conclusion Modern classroom technology makes a great difference to teaching and learning. 2 完形填空 (共15小题；每小题1分，满分15分) 阅读下面短文，掌握其大意，从每题所给的A、B、C、D四个选项中，选出最佳选项 Although it was autumn, the snow was already beginning to fall in Tibet (西藏).Our legs were so heavy and cold that 16 felt like big pieces of ice.

Somebody mentions hard-work, others suggest knowledge, love and luck. If you arrange the 26 English letters alphabetically(按字母表的顺序)and use numbers to represent each of them, for example, 1 for a, 2 for b, 3 for c…, you can change an English word into a number. So hard-work becomes 8+1+18+4+23+15+18+11=98, meaning 98 is its mark; knowledge: 11+14+15+23+12+5+4+7+5=96, while love :12+15+22+5=54, and luck : 12+21+3+11=47, a small mark. None of these words can give one a full mark. What about money or prayer(祈祷)? They can’t , either. Then what else? Don’t be worried. You can always find an answer to a problem in your life, when you change your way of looking at things or doing things, or your attitude(态度).Yes, attitude is the word. See for yourself: attitude:1+20+20+9+20+21+4+5=100，a full mark. Different attitudes lead to different courses of life. Most times people hope for a better life. It is possible that one will have a change for the better after one has changed one’s attitude. When you change your manner and became friendly towards others, you’ll meet more smiling faces towards you.In the same way, if you take a positive(积极地)attitude towards failure(失败),you’ll find it’s also rewarding though it has caused you losses. 31.In the writer’s opinion , what is the most important things in a person’s life? A.Hard-work. B.Knowledge. C.Money. D.Attitude. 32.According to the passage, if you meet with problems, the best way out is to ___________. A. ask for helpf from others B.say your prayers to God C.change your attitude D.try maths-solving methods 33.From the passage we can learn that ______________. A.diffrent attitudes come from different courses of life. B.mathematics can solve every problem easily in our daily life C.failure sometimes can bring you good if you take a positive attitude D.none of the English words except “attitude” equals to 100 or more (B) Many years before the United States was founded(建立), Americans had already invented barbecues. But the first barbecues, in fact ,were the invention of the Taino Indians of Haiti, who dried their meat on raised frames(架子)of sticks over fires. Spanish explorers spelled the Taino word as barbacoa, and as time passed, English settlers along the Atlantic coat had their own barbecues. One summer day in 1773, Benjamin Lynde, a citizen of Massachusetts, wrote in his di
