After dinner , Julia found the courage to talk to her dad . She told about the messy science tables and how her science teacher would deduct(减去)points from their daily grades if they did not clean up . Her friends’ next class was on the opposite side of the building . Since her class was nearby , Julia volunteered to help clean up so that her friends would not be late . Then she explained how this would prevent her from attending the school trip . Her dad watched her for several seconds . Finally , he simply said , “I’ll be there right after school .”

The next day after school , Julia walked to the office . Her father and Mr. Malone were already there . Mrs. Thompson , the headmaster , spoke , “Julia , why were you cleaning the science tables alone ?”

Julia answered slowly ,“I guess no one wants to clean up , and I don’t want my friends to get into trouble . ”“But you got yourself in trouble . ”Mrs. Thompson said . Julia nodded . Julia’s dad continued , “You’re still responsible for breaking the rules ; even if it was for a good reason . Do you have any ideas for a punishment ? ” Julia shook her head hopelessly .

“Normally , your lateness would prevent you from attending some school activities . However , I have considered the reason and will allow you to go on the trip . ”Mrs. Thompson said . Julia jumped out of her seat , repeating , “Thank you , thank you , thank you ! ”“Don’t be too excited . You’ll have a one-day detention (课后留校) for each lateness . ”Mrs. Thompson warned , “I hope you won’t be late again . ”

Do you know that some people don’t do their reading assignments(任务)?It’s shocking , but it’s true . Some students don’t even read short texts that they are assigned in class . There are many reasons for this . They may be unwill ing to focus . They may be unconfident readers . Whatever the reason is , it has to stop today . Here’s why .

Reading stimulates(刺激)your mind . It is like a workout for your brain . When people get old , their muscles begin to weaken and their strength leaves them . Exercise can prevent this loss . The same thing happens to people’s brains when they get older . Brain power and speed decline with age . Reading strengthens your brain and prevents these declines . You can benefit from reading in the near-term , too .

Reading provides knowledge . Knowledge is power . Therefore , reading can make you a more powerful person . You can learn to do new things by reading . Do you want to make video games ? Do you want to design clothing ? Reading can teach you all this and more . But you have to get good at reading , and the only way is to practice .

Reading expands your vocabulary . Read everything that you can at school , no matter whether you find it interesting or not . Even a “boring” text can teach you new words . Having a larger vocabulary will help you better express yourself . You will be able to speak , write and think more intelligently . What’s boring about that ?

Reading can change the way that you understand the word. Do not just discount(忽视) a text because it is unfamiliar to you . Each time you read , you are introduced to new ideas and given broader views on things . You can learn how people live in faraway places . You can learn about cultures different from your own . Reading is good for your state of mind . It has a calming effect . It can lower your stress levels and help you relax . You can escape from your troubles for a moment when you read , and it’s a positive escape.

The benefits of reading far outweigh those of acting like a fool . So do yourself a favor : the next time you get a reading assignment , take as much as you can form it . Squeeze(挤压) it for every drop of knowledge that it contains . Then move on to the next one.

48. Some people don’t read because

A. they have many other activities

B. they are confident about themselves

C. they are bored or unwilling to focus

D. they could hardly understand the texts

49. The writer probably agrees that__________.

A. reading helps you to remain calm

B. reading enables you to get a good job

C. reading keeps you strong and safe

D. reading changes your word around

50. The word “decline ” in Paragraph 2 means “_______”.

A. keep slow B. stay normal C. become smarter D. grow worse

51. This passage is mainly about

A. the power of knowledge B. the advantages of reading

C. methods used in reading D. making good use of knowledge

D

As the word becomes increasingly populated , It is also Becoming alarmingly polluted . Fortunately , there are many ways that you can help deal with the negative effects that we impose(施加)on the environment . One of these is driving an electric car.

Electric cars produce about 80 pe rcent less pollution than cars with gas-powered motors. In fact, the only reason that electric cars produce any pollution at all is that their electric energy is produced by power plants-electric cars themselves produce no waste. When energy comes from large sources such as power plants, it’s easier to control, so there’s less waste than if the energy is produced by many smaller sources, such as the gas engines in individual cars.

Furthermore, electric cars are simply more efficient than gas-powered cars for several reasons. First, electric cars have regenerative braking, which means that when you use the brakes in an electric car , the battery has a chance to recharge (再充电).On the contrary , when you brake in a gas-powered car ,you actually use energy . Also, during the production of electric cars, more time and energy is spent making the design lighter and more aerodynamic so that there will be less drag(阻力) from the wind. This allows then to travel farther using less energy than a gas-powered car would use to go the same distance.

In addition to the environmental benefits of driving electric cars , there are also financial and time-saving benefits for the drivers . For one , they cost less to maintain (维修). The cost of charging an electric car is about 20 percent of the cost of gas, and electric cars require far less maintenance than gas-powered cars . This is due , in part , to the fact that electric cars have no cooling system , fan belts , radiators , hoses , or oil-just a battery . There are fewer moving parts overall , so there are fewer possible problems . Also , after the body of an electric car gives out , the engine can be reused in another body . Electric cars can also save people time . While gas-powered cars require visits to a mechanic every few months , the only routine maintenance required by electric cars is replacing the battery every four years.

Overall , there are numerous benefits of driving an electric car . Tt may take a little getting used to , but in the long run , the use of electric cars can help preserve the environment and give people more time and money to be put to better use.

52. What can we learn from the second paragraph?

A. Less than 80 percent pollution is produced by cars.

B. Gas-powered cars get energy from power stations.

C. Electric cars themselves don’t produce any waste.

D. It’s difficult to control energy from power plants.

53. According to the passage , which of the following is TRUE?

A. The battery can be reused after the body of an electric car gives out.

B. Replacing the engine every four years is required for an electric car .

C. It may take no time to see the popularity of driving electric cars.

D. Electric cars cost less to maintain because of fewer moving parts.

54. What is the writer’s purpose of writing this passage?

A. To compare two kinds of cars.

B. To show a new way of driving.

C. To suggest driving electric cars.

D. To introduce a useful invention?

55. Which is the best title of the passage?

A. The Best Way to Protect the Environment

B. Electric Cars are Worthy of a Second Look

C. The Greatest Invention in the New Century

D. Driving Electric Cars Saves Times and Money

A few years after I left my secondary school in Manchester, I was invited to help out with the school’s Christmas Fair. I volunteered to act as Father Christmas. 56 .Certainly, I attracted lots of customers.

My main job was to send gifts to the children.57 .I bring a sense of magic to them and I was also enjoying myself. But I was puzzled(迷惑)by a young boy who paid for a second visit, and then surprisingly f or a third. The gifts were really very small. There were only some candies, stickers and cards. 58 . He answered simply,“I just love talking to you.”

It was then that I realized that many parents do not encourage their children to talk.59 .Everyone wants to know they’ve been heard and understood. So it is important to listen to children and give them the full attention. It is also a way to show children the proper way of listening,to be polite and to gain a better understanding.

Darkness fell many times during a 24-hour period.Darkness fell about every 45 minutes. Lucid did something to help her remember what day it was. She wore pink socks on every seventh day. The pink socks reminded Lucid about something else,too. The pink socks helped Lucid remember that Jell-O would be served for dinner. On Mir,Jell-O was a special treat. It was only served on Sunday.

Lucid worked hard to deserve the honor of working on Mir. She went to school for a long time.She was one of the first six women to be accepted into the astronaut-training program. She flew on several American missions. When accepted for Mir, she had to learn Russian in less than 18 months. On Mir, Lucid conducted many experiments. One experiment she conducted was with wheat. Lucid grew wheat. Growing plants in space was important, because green plants could provide oxygen and food for space travelers.

书面表达

九、文段表达( One possible version)

Hi !Jim,

I’m glad to hear from you. Welcome to Beijing. In China, we are supposed to shake hands when we meet someone for the first time. And we are not supposed to eat first when older people are at the table.

For students, it is necessary to be polite to others. At home, we never start talking until our parents finish their words. At school, greeting teachers and schoolmates is considered polite behavior. We always stand up when we talk to our teachers. Besides, when we are in public places like museums or libraries, it’s important to keep quiet.

In a word, showing enough respect for others is the secret to getting along with people both in China and in other countries.

I hope you’ll enjoy yourself in Beijing.

Yours,

Li Hua

W: Good morning, everyone. I'm Carla Jones from Happy Community. I'm happy to be here to talk about Young Volunteers.

You need to think about your interests first. What kind of things do you get excited about? Do you love to teach kids, work outdoors, or help people in need? Your interests may help you do volunteer activities better.

Then consider your skills. Are you good at things like sports or computers? Most volunteer groups are looking for people with skills and abilities.

Try to be active in thinking. With all the choices, you may find a volunteer chance that has never happened to you. Your effort could lead to something surprising.

Do research. You'll be surprised at the numbers of volunteer groups out there. And you can start by asking family and friends about the ones they know, or do some research on the Internet. Then follow up by calling or writing to the groups directly.

Oh, here are two more suggestions for you.

Don't be angry if you don't get the job you want right away. Your first volunteer job may be less than perfect but it can still be a good learning experience.

Don't try to do more work than you can. If you can't manage the work you volunteer to do, it can be difficult for your group and make you feel uncomfortable.

If you want to get more information about Young Volunteers, you can visit our website:www.youngvolunteers.com. Thank you for listening! Good luck!
