     People like to say: "The hand that rocks (摇动) the cradle (摇篮) rules the world." Or they say: "Behind every successful man, there is a woman." Now some women still like making their husbands and sons successful. But some women want more for themselves. They want to be successful as men. Today the best jobs are still given to men. Even when women do the same work, they are often paid less than men. Some women want these things changed. They want to stand beside the men, with the same chances for success. Now many American women are earning money outside their homes. More than half of the women at the age of eighteen to sixty-five have good jobs. In general, working women have more education than those who stay at home. Among women with jobs, eight out of ten drive a car to work, and most of them often spend their holidays away from home. They like traveling by air. Women's work had made several changes in women's lives—and in men's lives, too. But things are quite different from those in the Middle East countries. In the Middle East countries, women have to stay at home. Their duty is to look after their families and do all the housework. They can't find work outside. When they go out in public, they cover their faces with something and walk behind their husbands. For the past few years the women's life has been changing in those countries. Many women want to play an active role in the society (社会). Though working gives them few chances of getting married, many men still want to marry them in the old ways.

19．(5分)     "Let's go wrestling, Dad!" (《摔跤吧，爸爸！》) is one of the Top 10 movies recently. It tells a true story about an Indian man and his two daughters. His name's Mahavir. In real life, he is called "the father of India women wrestling" because thousands of girls across India have been supported to take up wrestling with his efforts.
     A very famous Indian actor, Aamir Khan, played the role of Mahavir in the movie. It was an unusual experience for him to play this role. Aamir Khan was very serious about his character and he tried to make this character close to the true story. In order to act well, he needed to put on weight to be very fat and then do sports to be very strong in a short time.
     Aamir Khan started to eat a lot every day before making the movie. He ate at least 5 meals a day including much junk food. He became too fat to run quickly.
     It is simple to be fat but difficult to be strong. Aamir Khan invited many coaches to train him to lose weight and took him a few months to be strong. He must eat less and drink more. Strength training is also important. This kind of physical training is very boring. He had to lift different weights and do it over and over again. Aamir Khan set a goal to himself day by day and the minute he made it, he fell down on the ground and could hardly stand up. In the end, he became the exact person the movie needs.
     The role he played was very moving and he succeeded at last. As he says, the most important thing in life is not whether you can reach your goal but whether you have made the greatest efforts.
(1)From the passage, what is Aamir Khan's job?
          A.A player.           B.An actor.           C.A director.           D.A coach.
(2)Why is Mahavir called "the father of Indian women wrestling"?
          A.Because he is a very famous Indian player.
          B.Because he played a role in the movie "Let's go wrestling, Dad!"
          C.Because he supported many Indian women to take up wrestling.
          D.Because he became strong in short time.
(3)What is the correct order of the following things about Aamir Khan?
① He changed his eating habits and did sports to become strong.
② He was serious about the character and he needed to make great efforts.
③ To be fat, he ate too much food.
④ Finally, he succeeded.
          A.③②①④           B.②③④①           C.②①④③           D.②③①④
(4)Which of the following is NOT true about Aamir Khan from the passage?

Decide to Do Well
     Everybody makes decisions in daily life. They can be as important as what you will do in the future or as simple as what you will eat for breakfast. Any decision could be the turning point of your life.
     I made an important decision when I was in Junior 3.
     Before I made that decision I was one of the boys who tried too hard to act as an adult. I didn't know that only kids want to show themselves as adults.
     I didn't listen to my parents and teachers, and my grades became poor. Then came the high school entrance exam.
     At the turning point of my life, my mom wanted to have a conversation with me. I wanted to turn it down but when I looked at her eyes, I felt I couldn't refuse. Instead of asking me to study hard, to my surprise, Mom just asked what I wanted to do in the future. Without thinking too much, I just said I would like to study hard.
     Mom smiled and asked again: "I asked: what do you WANT to do?"
     I never seriously thought about the question. So, I kept silent.
     "Whether you want to go on studying or enter the society," she went on, "it is your own decision. Your life ought to be decided by you, not by anyone else, including me." After saying that, she had tears in her eyes.
     For the first time in my life I was asked to make my own decision. I sat in my chair and thought about myself, my life and what kind of person I wanted to become.
     It took me what seemed to be ages to make the biggest decision so far in my life—I wanted to be a man who makes a difference in the world. To achieve that, I needed to study hard.
     The path to my future became clear to me. I didn't act rebelliously (叛逆地) any more. With passion (激情) in my heart, I studied hard.
     Now, I'm 17 and I'm in one of the best schools in my city, in one of the best classes at the school and I am one of the best students in the class.
     Thanks to that decision, I have become what I am today.

          B.After he was in one of the best classes.
          C.When he was a pupil.

          B.It was his second time to make the decision.
          C.He made the decision seriously.
          D.It was his mother that made the decision for him.
(4)Why did the writer make the decision?
          A.Because his teacher talked with him patiently.
          B.Because he didn't want to act rebelliously any more.
          C.Because his mother asked him to study hard as usual.
          D.Because his father asked him to think about his future by himself.

21．(5分)     Some people have a very poor sense of direction. Unluckily, I am one of them. I have visited a place many times but I may still get lost there the next time.
     When I was a little girl, I never dared to ask strangers the way. And so I used to walk around in circles and hope that by chance I would get to the place I was going to.

I realized that he had asked the way to my office building. However, I had no time to turn back and look for him. I was rushing to meet with someone at my office and I didn't want to keep him waiting.

22．(5分)     Experiencing life is a kind of learning. And there are several things that life has taught me that I want to share with you.
     Take care of your body. Whether you like it or not, life is unfairly biased (偏向的) towards people who look good. So it's important that you do all to make you look best. I mean dressing nicely, exercising regularly and eating healthily. If you take care of your body, you will live longer and more happily, and you may even get better paid on your job. You should remember that your health is always your greatest wealth.
     Think in the long term. In high school I was thinking about college. In college I was thinking about life after college. I'm designing my life and I'm making decisions today that will enable me to live the life I hope for in the future. You have to think in the long term; you have to see the "big picture". By planning your future properly, you will live into your plans.
     Besides, I have something else to share with you. Be clear about the power of focus. Focus, focus, focus… Nothing is more important than focus. If you fail in the lifetime, maybe it's mainly because of broken focus. If you focus on the goals that are important to you, you will achieve them. What separates the winners from the losers is that the winners learn to focus on their goals. Winners just focus on achieving what is critical (极重要的) to their goals.

24．(5分)     How important is music? When they are asked this question, students and parents usually answer that music is nice, but not very important. It is often considered only as entertainment, but not the first choice for education. This opinion is shortsighted. In fact,   1  .
       2   Music reflects the maker's thinking and values, as well as the social environment it came from.
       3   Science explains how the sun rises and sets. Music explores the emotive meanings. We need every possible way to discover and response to our world because no one way can get it all.
       4   It is a way we human beings "talk" to each other. Through the language we expresses our feelings, our discoveries, our ideas, our imagination and our hopes so that they can be shared with others. When we do not let our children receive good music education, we take away from them the meanings that music expresses. Science does not tell us what it means to be human. Music does.
       5  
     A.Music tells us who we are.
     B.all the people like music.
     C.Music is a form of thought, as powerful as science.
     D.Music provides a kind of ability to know the world in a different way.
     E.Music tells us what it means to human beings.

     G.music education is necessary and important for all students.
25．(5分)     The best-loved pig in Hong Kong is called McDull. His mom makes a wish that he will look like Chow Yun-fat or Tony Leung, but he is well-known only by a birthmark around his right eye.
     Everything he tries, he fails. He wants to be an Olympic champion of qiangbaoshan (抢包山), but the sport of catching the hottest baozi from a small mountain doesn't really exist (存在), of course. He dreams of going to the Maldives, but ends up on only a one-day tour of a Hong Kong landmark.
       1   McDull was at first a supporting character i a story about his cousin McMug, a smart baby pig and "what parents expect of their children." But interestingly, the wooden-healed McDull gradually became more attractive when he told his classmates that if he became the class monitor, he would treat everyone with strawberry cakes. McDull tried to speak out one sentence i his speech, "If you choose me, you will be...painful." For him, it looks only a little bit different from an "A" when he gets an "E".   2  
       3   In one of the McDull movies, he talks to the audience (观众), "I suddenly realize that there is something you cannot have. No noodles, no Maldives, no golden medal, no money... Actually, being silly is not funny—it could mean failure (失败). Being fat is not funny. Being fat does not even mean you are stronger. Disappointment is not funny, either. When I grow up, and face the strict world that isn't funny, what should I do?" He is still happy, however. He always starts again with a new dream when one fails him.
       4   The popularity of McDull sometimes makes his creator Alice Mark confused, who hs some simple thoughts, such as God creates humans, because he loves humans and he wants them to be happy. "Maybe people see themselves and their friends in McDull. McDull makes people realize that they used to be as simple and happy as him. If there is a theme in all the McDull movies, it is about how a simple person keeps his or her simplicity in a world full of problems.   5  ," says Alice Mark.
     A.The cartoon pig is not smart, either.
     B.That's why both children and adults find McDull cute.
     C.However, the slow, silly pig has won over Hong Kong people.
     D.According to his headmaster, McDull isn't that silly. He's just too kind.
     E.The story is more than its funny points. It is pleasant and sour at the same time.
     F.The story is more than its funny points. It is pleasant and sour at the same time.
