第一节  阅读理解(共20小题;每小题2分, 满分40分)

(A)

Do American children still learn handwriting in school? In the age of the keyboard, some people seem to think handwriting lessons are on the way out. 90% of teachers say they are required to teach handwriting. But studies have yet to answer the question of how well they are teaching it. One study published this year found that about three out of every four teachers say they are not prepared to teach handwriting. Some teachers are teaching handwriting by providing instruction for 10~15 minutes a day, and then other teachers who basically teach it for 60 to 70 minutes a day—which really for handwriting is pretty much.

 Many adults remember learning that way — by copying letters over and over again. Today’ s thinking is that short periods of practice are better. Many experts also think handwriting should not be taught by itself. Instead, they say it should be used as a way to get students to express ideas. After all, that is why we write.

 Handwriting involves two skills. One is legibility, which means forming the letters so they can be read. The other is fluency — writing without having to think about it. Fluency continues to develop up until high school.

 But not everyone masters these skills. Teachers commonly report that about one-fourth of their kids have poor handwriting. Some people might think handwriting is not important any more because of computers and voice recognition programs.

 But Steve Graham at Vanderbilt says word processing is rarely done in elementary school, especially in the early years. American children traditionally first learn to print, and then to write in cursive, which connects the letters. But guess what we learned from a spokeswoman for the College Board, which administers the SAT college admission test. More than 75 percent of students choose to print their essay on the test rather than write in cursive.

26. We can learn________ from Paragraph 1.

A. teaching handwriting is a basic requirement in teaching job

B. most teachers prefer to teach handwriting

We all know that humans are damaging the environment, but what can we do about it? Some people are trying to do their best to be more environmentally friendly.

 Some people suggest recycling paper, tin, plastic and glass in daily life. They use reusable products instead of disposable(一次性的)ones. However, more people are becoming interested in reducing their carbon footprint—the amount of carbon they use. They try to reduce their carbon emissions(排放物) by cycling, using public transport or living green. Recently some undergraduates of Fujian University of Technology built their green living paper buildings.

 On May 10, 2011, ten engineering majors in this school made their unique house (a football-like paper building), which took less energy, during a “Low Emission, Green Living” campaign. The campaign, which was initiated by the Architecture Department of Fujian University of Technology, inspires students to use creativity to design and build a green building in the square of the school within 24 hours. Competitors had to live inside their buildings for one night. The competition attracted over two hundred entries（参赛项目）from students, and 22 pieces of work, with the shapes of a star, football, and pyramid finally staged in the grounds.

 While sitting inside the football-like paper house, the team leader of the competition group smiled and told us that the building had large enough space inside. The amazing house drew much attention and received high praise from students and teachers. He also said the inspiration for the design came from the beauty of motion in a football match. These unique houses appeal to people to build housing projects specifically as environmentally friendly as possible to reduce the carbon emission.

31. What is the text mainly about?

A. The environment is becoming worse and we should protect it.

B. The beauty of football moving made ten students design a football-like house.

C. Houses should also be environmentally friendly to reduce the carbon emission.

D. The campaign called “Low Emission, Green Living” took place in Shanghai University.

D. it looked like a star and needn’t building materials

33. This campaign in Fujian University of Technology aimed to________.

A. teach students to build their own houses for living

B. make people build environmentally friendly houses

C. encourage students to think of new ways to build a green house

D. ask the students to recycle paper, tin, plastic and glass in daily life

Jamie Oliver has been invited by Gordon Brown to prepare a banquet at No．10 for President Barack Obama and other leaders of the G20, offering a cut-price menu to reflect times when trade and industry are far from prosperous and the rate of employment is decreasing.

 Downing Street sources say Oliver, the well-known chef, will cook using “honest high-street products” and avoid expensive or “fancy” ingredients.

 The prime minister is trying to avoid a repeat of the embarrassment last year when he sat down to an 18-course banquet at a Japanese summit to discuss world food shortages．

Obama, President Nicolas Sarkozy of France, Chancellor Angela Merkel of Germany and other leaders will be served by apprentices（学徒） from Fifteen, the London restaurant Oliver founded to help train young people in poverty in order to make a living by mastering a skill.

 Brown wants the dinner to reflect the emphasis of the London summit, which he hopes will lead to an agreement to lift the world out of recession．“To be invited to cook for such an important group of people, who are trying to solve some of the world’s major problems, is really a privilege, ” said Oliver.

“I’m hoping the menu I’m working on will show British food and produce is some of the best in the world, but also show we have pioneered a high-quality apprentice scheme at Fifteen London that is giving young people a skill to be proud of. ”

The chef has not yet finalized the menu, but is expected to draw inspiration from his latest book, Jamie’s Ministry of Food, which has budget recipes for beef and ale stew（啤酒炖菜） and “impressive” chocolate fudge cake.

36. The underlined word “recession” in Paragraph 5 is the closest in meaning to “________”．

A．business     B．opposition

C．discussion     D．depression

37．What can we learn about Oliver from the text?

From now on, never spend your precious time thinking of reasons for your failures and shortcomings. Instead, realize that the seeds of success were planted within you when you were born. Only you have the power to make those seeds grow.

The seeds, and the power to grow them, are contained in the most awesome machine ever created：the human mind. Success is a choice and not a chance. You were born a winner. You were born rich. You can be a success only if you make the right choice.

You cannot be successful without first developing your self-esteem. Your level of self-esteem is always based on the degree of control that you are able to exercise over yourself, and thus over your life. People with low self-esteem are people who do not believe that they have any power, or responsibility for their lives. They are the perennial(长期的) victims and martyrs. They are leaves tossed(摇摆) by the winds of chance blown about with any sudden change in the weather.

You can exercise control over your life only to the degree that you believe that you are responsible for everything that happens in your life. Failures think that everything happens by accident and chance. Successful people realize that they are responsible.

Everything happens as a result of something. If we can identify the cause, we can control the effect. We are responsible for what we choose to think and believe. One generally rises to the level that one expects. We are responsible for setting our expectations. Our success is dependent upon our level of confidence.

If you associate with positive-thinking people, you are definitely going to achieve success. On the contrary, the opposite happens. We are responsible for finding, planting, and nurturing the seeds that contain future victory, born from setbacks.

    In short, in all areas of your life, whether they are financial, physical, emotional, or spiritual, you are responsible, once you recognize this, accept it, and firmly believe it, you are on the road to success.

41. People with low self-esteem are compared to leaves because they________.

A. are ready to change their minds

B. are easily affected by windy weather

C. don’t have the power to face their fate

D. can’t exercise control over themselves

42. Losers would think that________.

A. success is the result of hard work

B. working hard will lead to success

C. their failure is only because of bad luck

D. they don’t make efforts to succeed

43. It can be inferred from Paragraph 5 that________.

A. whether we will succeed depends on our attitudes

B. developing confidence is the key to future success

C. thoughts and beliefs are the results of creative mind

D. setting our expectations is essential before taking action

44. The last paragraph serves as________.

A. the proof of the author’s points

B. the conclusion of the argument

C. an introduction to another topic

D. a comparison between two views

45. Which is the best title for the text?

A. Success is a choice

B. The secrets of success

    阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。

As we all know, life is full of dreams and having a good dream is of great importance in our daily life. Without a good dream, people can’t make progress; without a good dream, countries can’t develop; without a good dream, the world can’t become so beautiful! And I hold the strong belief that everyone, whether he is old or young, poor or rich, junior or senior, does have a good dream! After all, dreaming is certainly a positive part of our life, and wishing for good things, however, costs nothing! 

What’s more, it is important to fly our dreams, especially for those who are Senior 3 students. It is high time for them to fly their dreams. If they can’t let dreams fly, the dream would just be a dream, not reality! 

Therefore, it is no wonder that so many people have a dream since their childhood. With a nice dream, China succeeded in hosting the 29th Olympic Games in 2008; with a nice dream, Hong Kong returned to the motherland peacefully in 1997; with a nice dream, Yuan Longping rids the world of hunger ; with a nice dream, Michael Jordon becomes the most popular basketball star ; with a nice dream I can stand on this stage to compete in the final English speech contest. And with an aim of achieving success, I must do the best! 

So my good friends, if you want to realize your dream, please do not be afraid in face of difficulties or give up in face of failure nor lose your dream in face of pains. You must keep going forward bravely! Just fly your dream highly above the sky!

    Like most people, there was a time when I dreamed of being an excellent student in my English after entering junior middle school, though my English was very poor then. To catch up with my classmates, I made up my mind to learn English well and made pen-friends with some foreign students so as to practise my spoken English and improve my written English. Although some of my classmates often went to the movies in the evening, seldom did I take part in such activities. Instead, I set aside to concentrate on my English and won the Final English Speech Contest around the city this term, realizing my dream.

    Now, I also have a dream. As a Senior 3 student, I hope that I can be admitted to a key university after graduation from middle school. Of course, whether my dream will come true depends on my personal efforts. Although life is full of ups and downs, I choose to go forward bravely. I strongly believe that where there is a dream, there is hope and there is a way.
