Both of them were　36　each other for their hard work. Both of them knew that they were 　   37  　without each other.Soon, the pencil started to draw a straight line and the eraser was looking at it. 　38　, the pencil lost its balance and the line was ruined. Then the pencil got very　39　. It knew the eraser would have to suffer because of its mistake, so it said　40　to the eraser. The eraser felt 　41 　and asked, “For what，my dear friend?”    “I'm sorry that you get hurt because of me. Whenever I make a　42　, you’re always there to erase it. But you lose a part of yourself and get 　43　each time.” cried the pencil.    On hearing this, the eraser said, “That is true but I really don’t 　44　. You see, I was made to help you, so stop　45　, please! I am happy with my 　46　, even though I know I will be gone one day. I will not be happy 　47　I see your sadness.”Our 　48　are just like the eraser, and we’re like the pencil. They’re always there for us, 　49　our mistakes.

It was made from rice and milk. In Europe around 2, 000 years ago, Roman leaders also enjoyed a kind of frozen dessert (冷冻的甜品). Snow and fruit were used to make it. It wasn’t true ice cream, though, as it had no milk or cream in it. Marco Polo, who came from Italy, spent a lot of time in China during the late thirteenth century. People believe that he saw ice cream being made while he was on his travels there. He then brought the recipe (食谱) for it back home when he returned. This was the first time true ice cream was made in Europe. Perhaps this is why Italians are considered the European masters (能手) of ice cream making: they have had more time than other countries to practise the recipe!In the seventeenth century, King Charles I of England was introduced to the pleasures of ice cream by his new French chef (厨师). He was so surprised by its beautiful taste that he offered the chef £500 a year (around £100, 000 in today’s money!). This wasn’t just for him to make Charles lots more ice cream. It was also to keep the recipe secret. Ice cream cones (蛋卷筒) are a popular way to serve ice cream. They’re easy to hold ice cream and there is no waste at all because they can be eaten up along with the ice cream. So they’re environmentally friendly as well as tasty. It’s believed they were invented in 1904 in the US. Ice cream quickly won the hearts of people in the middle of the twentieth century. At that time, the first fridges became available (可用的) to the public. Owning one meant you could then keep ice cream at home. They also brought a bigger chance of eating ice cream for those living in hot places.51.Ice cream was probably first eaten ________.A.with fruit B.in England C.over 2, 000 years ago  D.in the 13th century52.From Paragraph 2, we know that Marco Polo ________.A.liked eating ice cream B.made lots of friends in ChinaC.was a master of ice cream making D.brought the recipe for ice cream home53.What does the word “This” in Paragraph 3 refer to?A.The king’s love for eating ice cream. B.Getting advice from the king.C.Receiving £500 a year. D.The chef’s love for making ice cream.54.What does the writer say about ice cream cones?A.They are easy to make. B.They were invented in Italy.C.They were first popular in China. D.They are environmentally friendly.55.Which can be the best title for the passage?A.How to keep ice cream B.Different kinds of ice creamC.How to choose ice cream D.The history of ice creamBIs there a connection between music and language? According to recent studies, the answer is yes: Music helps develop certain language abilities in the brain.A study from Northwestern University shows that playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability. As a part of the study, two groups of people listened to a person talking in a noisy room. The people in the first group were musicians, while those in the second group had no musical training. The musicians were found to be able to hear the talking person more clearly.“Musicians hear better,” says study leader Nina Kraus, “because they learn to pay attention to certain sounds.” For example, when the violinists play in an orehestra(管弦乐队), they must listen closely to what they are playing and ignore the other sounds. In this way, musicians can hear certain sounds better, even in a room with lots of noise.Gotfried Sehlaug, a doctor at Harvard Medical School, works with stroke(中风) patients. Because of their illness, these people cannot say their names, address or other information. However, they can still sing. Dr. Schlaug was surprised to find singing words helped his patients finally speak. Why does this work? Schlaug isn’t sure. Music seems to be able to make different parts of the brain active, including the bad parts. In some way, this helps patients use those parts of the brain again.So music is not only enjoyable, but also good for us in many other ways. “Playing an instrument or singing,” says Nina Kraus, “can help us do better in school and keep our brain sharp as we get older.”56. What’s the main idea of Paragraph 2?A.Listening to a people in a noisy room can improve a person’s hearing ability.B. Saying his name and address often can improve a person’s hearing ability.C. Listening to different kinds of songs can improve a person’s hearing ability.D. Playing a musical instrument can improve a person’s hearing ability.57. What does the underlined word “ignore” probably mean?A. hear of B. pay no attention to C.look down upon  D. look out58. How can Dr. Schlaug help his stroke patients speak?A. By playing music for them.         B. By teaching them to play instruments.C. By getting them to sing words.      D. By joining the bad parts of their brain.59. Which is NOT TRUE according to the passage?A. Music can make the brain active.B. Singing can help keep our brain sharp.C. Music is good for people.D. Nina Kraus doesn’t agree with the study result of Northwestern University.60. What could be the best title of the passage?A. Ways of Playing Music             B. Ways to Make Brains ActiveC. Music and Language Abilities        D. Treating Stroke Patients CDear Daddy-Long-Legs, Is it snowing where you are? All the world that I see from my tower is covered in white and the snowflakes are coming down as big as popcorns. The sun is just sitting (a cold yellow colour) behind some colder violet hill, and I am up in my window seat using the last light to write to you. What a surprise I got five gold presents from you! I’m not used to receiving Christmas presents. You have already given me such lots of things—everything I have, you know—that I don’t quite feel that I deserve (值得) extras. But I like them just the same. Do you want to know what I bought with my money?1. A silver watch in a leather case. 2. Matthew Arnold’s poems. 3. Hot water bottle. 4. A streamer blanket. (My tower is cold. )5. Five hundred sheets of yellow handwriting paper. (I’m going to start being a writer pretty soon. )6. A dictionary of synonyms. (To enlarge the writer’s vocabulary. )7. (I don’t much like to tell you this last item, but I will) A pair of silk stockings. And now, Daddy, never say I don’t tell all!To conclude, (that’s the way the English instructor begins every other sentence), I am very much obliged for my seven presents. I’m trying to make myself believe that they came in a box from my family in California. The watch is from father, the blanket from mother, the hot water bottle from grandmother who is always worrying for fear I shall catch cold in this climate—and the yellow paper from my little brother Harry. My sister Isabel gave me the silk stockings, and Aunt Susan the Matthew Arnold poems; Uncle Harry (little Harry is named after him) gave me the dictionary. He wanted to send chocolates, but insisted on synonyms. You don’t object (反对), do you, to playing the part of a composite family?(Adapted from Daddy-Long-Legs)61.How did the writer feel when getting the presents?A.Puzzled               B.Peaceful              C.Worried          D.Surprised62.When did the writer probably write the letter?A.

When we are facing difficulties, being courageous and brave can be　76　 (use)than crying out for help. Here is a story about a young man, Jack. He was born in 1982 in a poor family. When he was 11, his father became mentally ill and brought back an abandoned baby girl. One year later, his mother 　77　  (leave)with his younger brother. Since then, Jack 　78　 (take)care of his father and his sister. He carried the family burden(负担)　79　 (brave). On the one hand, he wanted to find ways to treat his father's　80　 (ill);on the other hand, he had to take care of the adopted sister. And Jack still insisted on　81　  (go) to school. Soon Jack's story went public and many people knew about it. They tried their best to help the poor boy and his family. But Jack refused 　82　 (accept)donations from others. He said he　83　  (encourage)by the kindness but he thought there was someone else who needed help. He finished his college and took good care of his father and his sister by　84　 (he). From his story, we come to realize that love and care for others is the source of happiness. If we meet with difficulties, 　85　 (not complain)about the bad luck, but think about what we can do for our family and others.六、任务型阅读（共15小题；86～95题每小题1分，96～100题每小题2分，满分20分）A）根据短文内容及首字母提示，写出所缺单词，使短文完整、通顺。The story and the character alone cannot make a novel yet. To make a novel, a plot (情节) should be designed first, even b　86　  anything else is considered. Let’s take a look at this e　87　  provided by E. M. Forster. And it will surely help to tell the d　88　 between “story” and “plot”. “The king died and then the queen died” is not a plot, b　89　 a story. If we make it “The king died and then queen died of sadness,” we have a plot. The expression “of sadness” shows how we     u　90　 an event and its relationship with other events. It also shows how we make events h　91　  according to our thoughts. Different from the r　92　  world, the world of fiction is created by the writer. The very word “plot” often covers the w　93　  own thoughts and ideas. That is to say, the purpose of creating a plot is to make readers clear about how each event is c　94　  and how the writer thinks. A plot is also called a story line. If a writer wants to create a traditional plot, the most i　95　  is that it should be a complete and unified (统一的) action, that is something with a beginning, a middle and an end.B）阅读短文，回答短文后的五个问题，每题答案不超过7个词。Scrooge was a cold, greedy, mean, old man. Scrooge and Marley were business partners for years. Scrooge was his only friend and his only mourner when Marley died. He lived in Jacob Marley’s old apartment. It was very rundown. That evening, the fog and frost hung over the black gateway to the house. And the yard was so dark that Scrooge had to feel his way along with his hands. To his surprise, Scrooge saw Marley’s face instead of the knocker（门环）when Scrooge put his key in the lock. Scrooge looked at the door knocker for several moments, and then it changed back to being a door knocker again. Scrooge was quite scared. He quickly closed the door and then he went up to his room. It was very dark because Scrooge only had a candle. But darkness didn’t worry Scrooge, because darkness is cheap. And Scrooge liked cheap things. Suddenly he heard a loud clanking sound. It came from downstairs. Somebody was pulling a heavy chain over the barrels in the wine merchant’s cellar. It was coming straight towards his room. The face was the same. It was Marley, he was dragging a chain. Scrooge stared at the ghost of Marley as it stood there before him. But still he didn’t believe it was really there. “Who are you?” asked Scrooge, calmly. “In life I was your partner. Jacob Marley.” “Why are you carrying that chain?” asked Scrooge, trembling. Scrooge was trying very hard not to be scared. The Ghosts voice scared him and its cold eyes frightened him. “I wear the chain that I made in life,” replied the Ghost. “I made it link by link, and metre to by metre. I wound it around myself. Does it look strange to you?” “I had the opportunity to be kind and do good in life. But I did nothing. Now I’m dead. I regret that,” cried the Ghost. “I’m here tonight to warn you. You can still escape my fate（命运）. I’m giving you a chance... ”—Taken from A Christmas Carol注：每题答案不超过7个词。96.Why did Scrooge have to feel his way along with his hands?_________________________________________________97.What did Scrooge see instead of a door knocker that night?_________________________________________________98.How did Scrooge feel when he saw the ghost?_________________________________________________99.Why did the Ghost come to Scrooge’s room?_________________________________________________100.What do you think of Scrooge?__________________________________________________七、书面表达（满分20分）同学们，在新中的这时光你们都变得越来越优秀，学习更加勤奋，与人相处更加和谐.....在这段时光中你们一定有不少收获和感触。请为校广播台写一篇以To be a better self为题的英文演讲稿，和同学们分享你的经验，谈谈如何做更好的自己，成就精彩人生。1.How do you improve your study? ①manage your time…②go over…③…2.How do you improve the relationship with others?①try to communicate with…②share your feelings…③…3.What will you do for our environment or our society?①take part in…②…注意事项：（1）表达清楚，语法正确，上下文连贯；（2）包含表格中所有信息；并适当发挥；（3）词数100左右，演讲稿的格式已给出，不计入总词数。I am very proud that I have grown up during the past three years.
