Ⅰ.

A

One day when some government officials were rebuilding a barn, they found a mouse hole in a corner and used smoke to make the mice inside the hole come out. A while later they saw mice running out, one after another. Then, everyone thought that all the mice had run away. But they saw two mice squeezing out at the mouth of the hole. They did their best to get out. However, it was strange that after they came out of the hole, they did not run away immediately. Instead, one ran after the other near the mouth of the hole. It seemed that one was trying to bite the tail of the other one.

Everyone was puzzled, so they came nearer to take a look. They realized that one of the mice was blind, and the other was trying to allow the blind mouse to bite his tail so that he could pull the blind one with him to run away.

During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to talk about the two mice. One serious American official said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of king and guard.”

A smart French said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of husband and wife.”

A Japanese said, “I think the relationship between those two mice was that of mother and son.”

At that moment, one Chinese asked, “Why did those two mice have a certain relationship？”

Suddenly, the group looked back at the Chinese. The American official, the French and the Japanese who had spoken earlier all lowered their heads in shame, and did not answer.

In fact, the true love is not built on friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.

1．The two mice didn't go away immediately because ________.

   A. one was playing with the other

   B. one was trying to help the blind one

   C. they were not afraid of smoke

  D. the mouth of the hole was too small

2．All the officials felt ________ when they saw the two mice.

A. sad　　　　    　   B. nervous    

C. surprised             D. happy

3．Which of the following is NOT true?

  A. There were many mice in the mouse hole.

  B. After the meal the officials began to talk about the two mice.

  C. All the officials felt shamed when hearing the Chinese's words.

  D. The government officials came from different countries.

4. What is true love based on?

A. friendship　　　　    　   B. blood relationship    

C. family                    D.no relationship

【答案】

3．B解析：细节理解题。根据第三段开头“During the meal time, the group of people sat down in a circle and started to talk about the two mice.”可判断，他们是在吃饭的时间谈论的，而不是饭后，故答案是B。A是洞里有很多老鼠；C是当中国官员的话说完之后，所有的官员感到非常惭愧；D是这些官员来自不同国家，都符合文章意思。

4. D 解析：细节题。根据文章最后一段the true love is not built on friendship or blood relationship. Instead, it is based on no relationship.可知真正的爱是基于毫无关系的事实上的。故选D。

B

Many years ago，in a beautiful and quiet village，there lived a happy family，a father，a mother and their lovely children.The happy couple had always raised cucumbers and made sweet pickles(盐汁) together.The husband just loved to watch things grow.Thus he spent his winters studying the seed catalogues to get the best possible cucumbers.The whole family enjoyed preparing the soil，planting and caring for the plants.His wife loved to make sweet pickles.She studied the best recipes and the best methods of preparing and preserving them.They were such a happy family and all their visitors went home with a jar of their famous pickles.People were surprised at this family that had found a project to do together.

Finally，the man died.The next spring all the children returned home.They said to their mother，“We know how much you love making pickles，so we are going to prepare the garden and plant them for you.”The mother smiled and said，“Thanks a lot，children，but you don't have to do any planting, for I really don't enjoy making pickles.I did that only because your father loved to grow the cucumbers so much.”The children were all surprised，but the youngest son was upset，because the father had told him that he really didn't like growing cucumbers，but only did it to please the mother!

Education is not an end, but a means to an end. In other words, we do not educate children only for the purpose of educating them. Our purpose is to fit them for life.

     In some modern countries it has for some time been fashionable to think that by free education for all — whether rich or poor, clever or stupid－one can solve all the problems of society and build a perfect nation. But we can already see that free education for all is not enough; we find in such countries a far larger number of people with university degrees; they refuse to do what they think “low” work; and in fact, work with hands is thought to be dirty and shameful in such countries. But we have only to think a moment to understand that the work of a completely uneducated farmer is far more important than that of a professor; we can live without education, but we die if we have no food.

     If no one cleaned our streets and took the rubbish away from our houses, we should get terrible diseases in our towns.

     In fact, when we say that all of us must be educated to fit us for life, it means that we must be educated in such a way that, firstly, each of us can do whatever work suited to his brain and ability, and secondly, we can realize that all jobs are necessary to society, and that is very bad to be ashamed of one's work. Only such a type of education can be considered valuable to society.

9．The writer of the passage thinks that ________.

   A．education can settle most of the world's problems

   B．free education for all probably leads to a perfect  world

   C．free education won't help to solve social problems

   D．all the social problems can't be solved by education

10．The writer wants to prove that ________.

   A．our society needs all kinds of jobs

   B．our society needs free education for all

   C．a farmer is more important than a professor

   D．people with university degree refuse to do what they think “low” work

11．According to the passage, which statement is TRUE?

   A．Work with hands is dirty and shameful.

   B．Work with hands is low work.

   C．Work with hands is the most important work.

   D．We can't regard work with hands as low work.

12．The purpose of education is ________.

   A．to choose a system of education

   B．to prepare children mainly for their future work

   C．to let everyone receive education fit for him

   D．to build a perfect world

【答案】

D

According to many recent surveys，there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers from middle school to college，which worries both parents and teachers a lot．In my opinion，several reasons result in this phenomenon．

The most significant reason is that the rise of many other information Media，for example，internet，mobile phone．TV and so on．In the past we only could read newspapers to know what happened around us，while now we only need to turn on the TV，or open our computers，which is more convenient．In addition，computer and other media provide us with more newly news and more specific details，which we can get easily and without payment．There is also an advantage that the new media have while newspapers don't﹣﹣﹣﹣a large mount of pictures，which make the information or news more lively．Therefore，more and more students tend to surf the internet or watch TV instead of reading newspapers．

Another reason that few students read newspapers is that they have little time to do such things．We all know that nowadays students，especially middle school and high school students are buried in the books almost every day to get good grades．Even in weekends，they are sent to heterogeneous cram school by their parents to become superior in school．Thus there is little free time for them to do other things，not to mention reading newspapers．

The students'indifference to the current affairs also enables few newspaper readers．The 90s，most of today's students，always pay more attention to fashion and only care for themselves．Lacking a sense of collectivism and nationalism，the majority of the 90s have little interest in current affairs，which are the basic content of most newspapers，so that there are fewer and fewer students reading newspapers．

Different outside and inside reasons have contributed to the few newspaper readers among students．Therefore，teachers should encourage their students to form'the habit of reading newspapers regularly and free the students from their heavy study burden so that they can afford to broaden their horizon through newspapers，which is beneficial for their future development．

13．According to Paragraph 2，few students read newspapers because　    　

A reading newspapers isn't my good for them to get good grades

B．they are more interested in fashion than current affairs

C．it's cheaper and easier to get information from the Internet or TV

D．they can only know what is happening via the Internet or on TV

14．It can be inferred from the passage that　        ．

A．it's better for students to gain information via the Internet than other media

B．high school students are too busy with their study now

C．more and more students are addicted to the Internet now

D．more students will fall in love with newspapers

15．What does the author mostly want to tell us in the passage？　　

A．There are many advantages of reading newspapers．

B．There are reasons why few students read newspapers．

C．The advantages 0f surfing the Internet are obvious．

D．It's very important to read newspapers．

【答案】

14．B．细节理解题．根据第二段：Therefore，more and more students tend to surf the internet or watch TV instead of reading newspapers可知高学校的学生和他们的学习很忙；故选B．

15．B．主旨大意题．通读全文，可知文章主要讲了为什么很少有学生读报，他们更便宜和更容易从互联网或电视获取信息，并且他们的学习很忙，关注时尚和自己在乎，不喜欢读报；故选B．

Ⅱ. 阅读填空

根据短文内容，从短文后的选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。

We often carry a lot of things when we’re traveling.    16     On long ones we carry things like passports, visas, etc. Though traveling can be fun, we’re likely to misplace these things and even lose them because of the excitement of the journey or being too busy or tired. So how can we carry valuable things safely while traveling?

       17    Place most of it in a wallet and put the wallet in your main suitcase or bag with a lock-and-key system. Don’t open it until you reach your destination (目的地). Guess how much money you’ll need on the journey, and place this money in a different wallet and carry this in your pocket.       18          

Next, instead of wearing your jewelry, you can carry your jewelry at the bottom of your suitcase or bag.    19       Many people think that since the purse is always going to be in their hands, it’ll remain safe. But other things like tickets, phone numbers, keys, etc., are all going to go in there. So you’ re often going to open your purse for something or the other. What if you just drop it?

Then remember to hook (钩住) the keys. You get those really nice key chains these days that come with a big dog-hook.

        20     Use one of these to carry your keys. This way, you won’t leave the keys in a restaurant or any other place.

Hope all the above tips for traveling will help you.

A. So you’ll know what to bring.

B. It’s a kind of vacation, but without your parents.

C. Spend money from this wallet till you get to your destination.

D. Firstly, distribute (分开) your money if you’re traveling alone. E. You can hook the key chain to your jeans or your handbag.

F. On short trips we take things like money, jewelry (首饰), house keys, etc.

G. Don’t carry it in your purse, just in case somebody is quick in stealing your purse.

【答案】

【文章大意】旅行已经成为生活中常见的活动项目，但是在旅行中贵重物品如何保管呢？

16. F。根据上文的“We often carry a lot of things when we’re traveling.”以及下文的“On long ones we carry things like passports, visas, etc.”可知，不管是长途旅行还是短途旅行，我们都会携带很多东西，由此可知，F项为正确答案。

17. D。根据上文的“So how can we carry valuable things safely while traveling?”可知，下文作者开始介绍如何在旅途中安全地保管好贵重物品，再结合第二段的内容可知，D项为正确答案。

The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for a moment ___5__ taking a deep breath and saying, “Yes, I’ll do it ___6__ it can save Liz.”

___7__ the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, ___8__(see) the color returning to her cheeks. Then ___9__ face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “Will I start to die right away?”

I can still remember I was once asked to make speech before the whole class at the age of 9. You can imagine how shy I was when I thought of that with so many eyes fixed to me. I had no more choice but to prepare for it, though. The hardest part was my oral presentation from my memory, for reading from the paper wasn’t allowing. The real moment began before I stood on the platform with my legs trembling or my mind blank.  But my listeners were waiting patient. Gradually, I found me back, giving my speech at last. After what seemed to be a long time, I heard all the listeners applauding loudly. Ever since then, my fear of speak before a big audience had disappeared. Actually, now I’ve become a great speaker!
【答案】
1.make后添加a考查固定结构。Make a speech意为“做一个演讲”，是固定结构，故添加a。
2.to---on考查短语。fix on意为“集中于”，故改为on。
3.去掉more考查成分多余。根据句意可知这里是我没有选择，故去掉more。
4.allowing---allowed考查被动语态。这里是被允许，是被动语态，故改为allowed。
5.before---when考查固定结构。The moment…when是固定用法，故改为when。
VII.书面表达（20分）

假设你叫李华，是一名高三学生。自从进入高三以后，你发现部分同学晚上学习到很晚，他们边学习边吃零食或喝可乐，早上则由于起床太晚而不吃早餐，你感觉这样会对身体有害。 请你根据这种现象，给《英语周报》写一封信反映情况，并谈谈自己的看法。  

注意： 词数150左右

Dear Editor,

I am a high school student who will graduate next year. Since I was in Grade Three, I have found that some of the students in our class study harder than before. They study late into night, eating snacks and drinking Coca-Cola, which is bad for their health. In the morning, due to staying up too late, some students "sleep in " and have to go to school without breakfast, which is also a bad habit and will surely o harm to their health.

In my opinion, though we are under heavy study pressure, we should try to eat properly and get as much rest as possible. Only in this way can we keep fit and study well. I wonder if you agree with me. I am looking forward t hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,
