Many teenagers feel that the most important people in their lives are their friends. They believe that their family members don't know them as well as their friends do. In large families, it is quite often for brothers and sisters to fight with each other and then they can only go to their friends for some ideas.

It is very important for teenagers to have one good friend or a group of friends. Even when they are not with their friends, they usually spend a lot of time talking among themselves on the phone. This communication is very important in children's growing up, because friends can discuss something. These things are difficult to tell their family members.

However, parents often try to choose their children's friends for them. Some parents may even stop their children from meeting their good friends. Have you ever thought of the following questions?

1.Who chooses your friends?

2.Do you choose your friends or your friends choose you?

3.Have you got a good friend your parents don't like?

Your answers are welcome.

Every year when the Italian artist Michelangelo’s (1475－1564，意大利文艺复兴时期著名雕刻家、画家、建筑师) birthday comes around, computer users all over the world are filled with fear (害怕) and use their computers with care. Some may even choose not to turn on their computers on March 3. All this fear and care are just because a deadly computer virus is ready to cause damages (破坏) on that day.

What’s a computer virus then? Why do people get so afraid of it?

A computer virus is, in fact, a little program that is put into other programs and that does something bad. It is called a virus because, like any real-life viruses such as AIDs virus, it reproduces itself. And when these programs are run, the virus is brought to life. It hides itself in your computer system waiting for the right moment to make damages. And at the same time it keeps producing itself by copying itself onto other programs.

The Michelangelo virus waits until the artist’s birthday comes around, and then it will wake up to do very bad things like destroying you files (毁坏文档) . So next time when you turn on your computer, look out for computer viruses!

5. The Italian artist Michelangelo ____________.

A. was born six centuries ago B. was born on March 3, 1475

C. died six centuries ago D. died on March 3, 1564

A. it is the birthday of a famous Italian artist.

B. a kind of computer virus will come on that day

D. something will easily go wrong with computers

7. In fact, a computer virus is __________.

You Mi, a lovely and confident 17-year-old student, is the first Chinese high school student to appear on the cover of the popular young adults’ fashion magazine Seventeen.

“You is IN,” said Wang Lihua, Editor-in-Chief of Seventeen. “She is active and mature (成熟的) because of her knowledge on everything from academic studies,  to books on art,  to movies. We found she’s the very style we’re looking for to represent young people’s attitudes.”

You also impressed Wang with her fluent English when they first met last year. As the hostess of an English broadcasting programme at the High School Affiliated to Renmin University, You is always praised for speaking English almost like a native speaker. “I’ve built up my English by watching thousands of English DVDs since I was 10,” she explained.

But for You watching isn’t enough. Last year, while in Senior 1, she met a talented boy who showed self-made DV movies at the English Corner in her school.

“I thought it was so cool and I knew that I should start making my own films” she said. So she wrote a campus (校园 ) story, persuaded schoolmates to star in it and then began shooting a 30-minute DV movie, all in English. “I played one of the leading roles， actually I was everything in my film. I worked on it every single day during the SARS holidays,” she recalled. The movie finally became a big hit on campus, earning You a strong reputation (名气) as a DV movie director.

But this is not the only field she wants to master. Despite being a science student,  You likes art, literature and fashion design very much.

“There are people who can be artists，there are people who edit books, and there are people who become film producers. But I just hope to mix all the things up!” she said. “There is an old saying I believe: Chance favours only the prepared mind.”

语篇填空

【分析】本文是一篇说明文。文章介绍了世界上的语言。如今世界上有一千五百种语言，包含数千单词。词典中包含许多单词，我们无需知道所有的单词。但是你应该努力丰富你的词汇。

【41题详解】

考查名词复数。Language“语言”是可数名词，由空前about fifteen hundred可知，此处使用复数形式，故填languages。

【42题详解】

考查介词或连词。根据语境可知，此处表示“四十万到五十万单词”或者“四十万或者五十万单词”，故填to/or。

【43题详解】

考查形容词。句意：但是我不需要所有这些单词。all“所有的，全部的”，符合语境，故填all。

【44题详解】

考查状语从句。句意：在你离开学校之前，你只会学到一千或更多一点单词。before“在……后面”，符合语境，置句首单词首字母大写。故填Before。

【45题详解】

考查定语从句。分析句子可知，“5____ you learn”是定语从句，先行词是words，从句中作宾语，指物，用关系代词which，故填which。

【46题详解】

考查形容词的比较级。根据下文“尽可能多读书”可知，你应该努力让你的词汇量更大，应使用比较级。故填bigger。

【47题详解】

考查非谓语动词。分析句子可知，write作定语，修饰books，books与write是被动关系，用过去分词作定语表示被动，故填written。

【48题详解】

考查冠词。此处的word“单词”是可数名词单数形式，空后new又是以辅音音素开头的词，应使用不定冠词a，表泛指“一个新单词”。故填a。

【49题详解】

考查固定短语。look up“查阅”是固定短语，故填up。

【50题详解】

考查形容词。修饰名词book应使用形容词，根据句意：你的词典是你最有用的书籍。故填useful。

短文改错

5.am 改为 was       6.month 改为 months     7.teach 改为 teaching   8.去掉 when 或者 and

9.he 改为 she        10.colorfully 改为 colorful

【答案】There_are_various_ways_to_get_relaxed_for_middle_school_students. One way is to take exercise, such as walking, running, playing basketball or football, etc. We can also listen to music. Moreover, we can surf the Internet to get some relaxation and entertainment.

As far as I'm concerned, surfing the  Internet appeals to me most. For one thing，the Internet offers a wide range of activities for relaxation. In general, I keep track of the latest news as an enjoyment. Sometimes, I play computer games to relax myself. For another, the Internet makes it easy for me to make friends with people at home and abroad, for it is a great joy to communicate with them. In addition, having a glimpse of the  vivid  pictures  and live  videos on  the  Internet contributes to regaining my energy.

【详解】书面表达的解题思路：

1.确定文章时态的基调，确定文章时态的基调对于整个写作非常重要。它直接决定了不同句子使用的时态正确与否。本文介绍自我放松的途径，应该使用一般现在时。

2. 给文章划分基本段落，仔细阅读题目要求和文字提示，领会要写的文章的主题，确定文章的段落，写出各段的主题句。本题中的内容要点有：①.引出话题并介绍自我放松的途径：体育锻炼、听音乐、上网等；②. 我更喜欢的途径及理由。这样确定文章的基本段落分为两段。

3.尝试用高级词汇，使可读性增强。美化句子可以采用复合句和特殊的句型结构，也可以采用形式主语、形式宾语或简略句来实现。

4.连句成篇，在连句成篇的过程中需要注意过渡句和连接词的使用。

【范文亮点】For another, the Internet makes it easy for me to make friends with people at home and abroad, for it is a great joy to communicate with them.句意：另一方面，互联网使我可以很容易地与国内外的人交朋友，因为与他们交流是一种极大的乐趣。该句中使用了固定句型make it easy for sb. to do sth.，其中it是形式宾语，真正的宾语是后面的不定式。for引导一个原因状语从句，从句中it作形式主语，真正的主语是to communicate with them.
