Each passage is followed by several questions or unfinished statements. For each of them there are four choices marked A, B, C and D. Choose the one that fits best according to the information given in the passage. A If you are in a town in a western country, you'll often see people walking with their dogs. It is still true that a dog is the most useful animal in the world. But the reason why one keeps a dog has changed. Once upon a time, a man met a dog and wanted it to help him in the fight against other animals, and he found that the dog listened to him and did what he told him to. Later people used dogs for the hunting other animals, and the dogs didn't eat what they got until their master agreed. So dogs were used for driving sheep and guarding chicks. But now the people in the towns and cities do not need dogs to fight other animals. Of course they keep them to frighten thieves, but the most important reason is that people feel lonely in the city. For a child, a dog is his best friend when he has no friends to play with. For a young wife, a dog is her child when she doesn’t have her own. For old people, a dog is also a child when their real children have grown up and left. Now people do not have to use a dog, but they keep it as a friend, just like a member of the family. 56. _______are more useful than a dog in the world. 4 A. No other animals B. Some animals C. Many animals D. A few animals 57. In the past people kept dogs because dogs _________. A. could fight against other animals B. met the people C. did not eat other animals D. helped and listened to people 58. Now people keep dogs in the cities because dogs_____. A. fight other animals B. are lonely C. are like their friends D. are afraid of the thieves 59.A dog can be _____.

A. always be used B. not be useful C. still fight D. always be a good friend B Invention of TV began in 1922 in Rigby, Idaho, the hometown of Philo. At the age of 16, Philo was a very shy boy. Only his teacher, Justin Tolman, realized that Philo was a special person. One day after school Mr Tolman found Philo in the schoolroom. The boy was making drawings on the blackboard. “What are you doing?” Mr Tolman asked with interest. “What are these drawings?” “I want to invent things,” Philo answered, “and these are the drawings of one of my first inventions. I have an idea for a way of sending pictures through the air. Please, just let me tell you about it. You are the only person who can understand what I have done.” In the school library Philo had read about a man who had worked on an idea for TV, but had failed. Philo was sure that his idea was better and that he could succeed. Mr. Tolman was not sure and asked Philo many questions about the drawings. Giving facts and figures, Philo answered every question. In 1926, Philo sent his drawings to Washington, along with a letter asking for patent (专 利)rights on TV. Since then, television has become an important business all over the world. 61. When he lived in his hometown, Philo was ______________________. A. quite different from others B. an activity boy C. an inventor D. a hard-working boy 62.

He wouldn’t do anything but wanted to get rich. Mr King thought he was too lazy and was going to send him away. Henry was afraid and had to work hard. It was a cold morning. It was snowing and there was thin ice on the streets. Few people went to buy the books and the young man had nothing to do. He hated to read, so he watched the traffic. Suddenly he saw a bag fall off a truck and it landed by the other side of the street. “It must be full of expensive things,” Henry said to himself, “I have to get it, or others will take it away.” He went out of the shop and ran across the street. A driver saw him and began to whistle(鸣笛), but he didn’t hear it and went on running. The man drove aside, hit a big tree and was hit in the accident. Two weeks later Henry was taken to court(法庭). A judge asked if he heard the whistle when he was running across the street. He said something was wrong with his ears and he could hear nothing. “ But you’ve heard me this time,” said the judge. “Oh, I’m sorry. Now I can hear with one ear.” “ Cover the ear with your hand and listen to me with your deaf one. Well, can you hear me?” “ No, I can’t, sir.” 66. What was Mr King? A. A driver. B. A doctor. C.

D(He didn’t want to pay for the accident PART FOUR WRITING (35 marks) Section A (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Complete the diagram by using the information for the 6 passage. Write NO MORE THAN three WORDS for each answer. Many people believe they are supposed to drink eight glasses of water a day, or about two liters. Why? Because that is what they have been told all their life .But a recent report offers some different advice .Experts suggest people should obey their bodies: they should drink as much water as they feel like drinking. The report says most healthy people meet their daily needs for liquid by letting thirst be their guide. The report is from the Institute of Medicine, which provides scientific and technical advice to the government and the public. The report contains some general suggestions. It says women should get about 2.7 liters of water daily and men about 3.7 liters. But wait –in each case, that is more than eight glasses. There is one important difference .The report does not tell people how many glasses of water are needed to meet these guidelines. This is because the daily water requirement can include the water content in foods. As you might expect, the Institute of Medicine says people need to drink more water when they are physically active. The same is true of those who live in hot climates. Depending on heat and activity, people could need twice as much water as others do. All this, however, does not answer one question. No one seems sure why people have the idea that good health requires eight glasses of water daily. It may have started with a misunderstanding. Title: 71.________ should we drink every day? belief or advice the 72. ________ of water needed daily traditional public men 73.__________ women eight glasses belief of water of water men 3.7 liter of water women 2.7 liters of water while doing hard 75.________ or in the hot 76.________ a recent medical men 7.4 liters of water women 77.________liters 74.________ of water generally 78.________ amount of water need daily as much as our bodies need, 79.________ the water from other 80.________ Section B (10 marks) Directions: Read the following passage. Answer the questions according to the information given in the passage and required words limit. Being an exchange student, I lived in a very nice American family, the Little’s. They are a wonderful family; they used to give me advice all the time and tried their best to make me feel comfortable and happy. I had an American brother whose name is Troy. We used to go to school together and play sports such as basketball and football. I went to Bay City Central High School, and I liked it a lot. I made lots of friends; most of the students in school were very nice and tried to help me to improve my English. Of course, I think it is very important to learn formal English by studying the grammar, knowing all the rules, and combining the grammar with the listening and speaking. Before I went to Michigan, I learned some grammar and important rules of English, and I think that helped me a lot because it was easier for me to get by. 7 I remember one day I had to give an oral report in class. My English was so bad that I was afraid that my classmates were going to laugh at me, but one important thing I learned is that if you want to improve your English, you need to get rid of the fear and try your best. The oral report came out pretty well and my classmates liked it very much. 81. What sports did the writer and Troy use to play?

PART FOUR WRITING Section C One possible version: Dear Jin Jing, Your problem is a common one among middle school students. Maybe the following advice can help you. First of all, believe in yourself. Your greatest problem is that you lack self-confidence. The first thing you must do is to smile at your classmates. One smile speaks louder about your wish to make friends than any words. Your smile will show that you are friendly to them. Next, try talking with a student who is as shy as yourself or who shares the same interest as you. You can discuss your studies with a classmate, and you can also talk about your hobbies as well. If anyone is in trouble in life or study, you should be ready to help him or her. Once you have confidence, you can make as many friends as possible. Yours, Zhang Hui 9
