It is something far less unhappy than you are called in by your leader to explain why you did this and that or why you did not do this or that.At times, almost all of us have to “face the music”, especially as children. We can all remember fathers angry words “I want to talk to you”. And only because we did not listen to him. What a bad thing it was!In the middle or at the end of every term, we students have to “face the music”. The result of the exam will decide whether we will face the music or not. If , thatll mean parents cold faces and contempt(轻视) of the teachers and classmates.Every American, young or old, is familiar with the expression. It is at least 100 years old. It really means that you have to do something, no matter how terrible the whole thing might be, because you know you have no choice.51. “To face the music” means “to_ ”.A. go to the concert B. do something that we dont like to C. go to the music show D. do something pleasant52.

Which of the following is NOT true according to the passage?A. “To face the music” is well known in the United States.B. “To face the music” has a history of more than 100 years.C. The young Americans know what “to face the music” means.D. Only the old in the United States know the meaning of “to face the music”.B Before you make friends, you have to decide who you want to be your friends. Most people like to have friends who like to do the same kinds of things they do.The quickest way to make a friend is to smile. When you smile, people think you are friendly and easy to talk to. It may not be easy at first to smile, but remember most people will stay away from a scared or angry looking face,One easy way to start a conversation with someone is to say something nice about them. Think about how great you feel when someone says something nice to you. Doesnt it make you want to keep talking to that person?Ask your new friends questions about themselves. Whos their favorite singer, where do they live, what do they do after school are all good questions to start a conversation. Make sure you have something to add to the conversation too.Kids who show an interest in other kids and who are kind and friendly make good friends. Remember, everyone wants to be around people who like to do similar things and people who are nice to them.54. This passage gives us some advice on_.A. how to make friendsB. what kind of person you can make friends withC. how to start a conversationD. the importance of smile55. Most people like to make friends with those_.A. who smile to everyoneB. who share the same interestC. who are fond of talkingD. who say nice things to them56.

How old are you?57. According to the third paragraph, most people enjoy talking to one_.A. who is always smilingB. who seems to be friendlyC. who praises youD. who point out your shortcoming(缺点) CAs the father of a student, I have experienced first hand what a great teacher is. My son was in the 4th grade last year, and he had a teacher called Miss Green. I believe that when he is an adult he will surely look back on her as the best teacher he has ever had.My son has attention deficit disorder(注意力缺损症) that makes it a little more difficult for him to learn. She was able to change her teaching methods for him so that he could keep up with the rest of the class. As a result, he got straight on many subjects. She treated her class as a family and they even had their own class song. She would often have them sing it to encourage them and develop a team spirit for them. When she saw that they were no longer listening carefully to what she was teaching, she would have them close their textbooks, stand up all around the room and throw around a small football. This helped them clear their minds and then focus on the lesson again. Besides, she was quick to reply to any phone calls or emails from us and reduce our worries about children quickly.When my son went to the 5th grade this year, we happened to pass her classroom. When she saw my son, she smiled, and she came out and hugged him. She generally loves all of the children in her classroom and that love really shows. I can only pray that my son will continue to get teachers just like her for the rest of his school years.58. With the teachers help, the writers son _.A. became the best student in his class B. was interested in singing songsC. quickly finished his 4th grade lessons D. improved his grades greatly59. Which of the following is NOT true about Miss Green?A. She regarded the students as members of a family.B. She had special ways to help students study.C. She was good at teaching football and music.D. She usually made a quick reply to parents emails.60. We can learn from the passage that _.A. Miss Green didnt teach the writers son in the 5th gradeB. Miss Green was the best teacher at the schoolC. all the students in the school liked Miss GreenD. the writers son had many teachers like Miss Green61. In the passage, the writer mainly tells us _.A. what his son studied at school B. his son once had a good teacherC. how to be a good and popular teacher D. a teacher who liked playing with studentsD We all like watching online videos of dogs and cats doing funny things. But if you had to decide, which of the two animals would you say you might like better? Your answer may say something about your personality.According to a 2010 study led by Sam Gosling, a scientist at the University of Texas, US, dog people are about 15 percent more outgoing and 13 percent more pleasant to be friends with than cat people.This is not hard to understand, since cats and dogs behave differently themselves. “Cats will occasionally engage in social activities, but usually after only a few minutes, they will give up the game. Dogs, on the other hand, will often engage in play, like catching a thrown ball, for hours at a time,” said Modern Dog Magazine.Although cat people are less social, Goslings study showed that they are 11 percent more open-minded than dog people. They usually like art, adventures(冒险) and unusual ideas. They also have more imagination and curiosity. But dog people are more likely to stick to old beliefs and traditional interests.However, their love of a free lifestyle also means that cat people dislike making plans. They just follow whatever ideas pop into their heads without planning ahead. But dog people are different. They usually have strong self-control and like to carry out their plans.Despite these big differences between dog people and cat people, there are some things that they have in common, “Both types of people consider themselves close to nature, dislike animal-print clothing, and are generally optimists,” noted Mother Nature Network.But can personality change? Can a cat person become a dog person, or the other way around? In a study done by Stanley Coren, a scientist based in Canada, he asked cat owners: “If you had enough living space and there were no objections from other people in your life, and someone gave you a puppy as a gift, would you keep it?”About 68 percent of them said they would not accept a dog as a pet. But when dog owners were asked the same question about a kitten, almost 70 percent said they would allow a cat into their lives.62. According to the article, dog people _ cat people.A. perform better in school than B. are more open-minded than C. have closer friends than D. are more traditional than 63. The underlined phrase “engage in” in Paragraph 3 probably means _.A. take little interest in B. take part in C. benefit from D. suffer from 64. What do cat people and dog people have in common? -_.A. Both of them like planning ahead B. Both of them love travelling and adventuresC. Both of them are imaginative and curious D. Both of them care about nature.65. What can we know from the last two paragraphs?A. Cat people are more likely to become dog people.B. Dog people are more likely to accept cats into their homes than cat people are to accept dogs.C. Neither dog nor cat people like to accept a new pet.D. It is difficult to find out whether dog people or cat people will make a change.第卷（60分）五、词汇运用（共10小题；每小题1分，计10分根据句子意思，用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空，在答案卡标有题号的横线上，写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）66.
