So Mrs. White went out shopping. She waited for a bus, got on it and sat down next to an o1d 1ady. After a while, Mrs. White noticed that the old ladys handbag was open. Inside it, she saw a wad（叠）of pound notes exactly like the ones her husband had given her. So she quickly looked into her own bag the notes had gone!

But as she disliked making a fuss（小题大作）, she decided to take back the money from the old ladys hand bag and say nothing about it. She looked around to make sure nobody was watching.

BIn Britain in the 1890s there was a postcard “craze(热潮)”. People formed clubs and collected and exchanged postcards. Even Queen Victoria had her own private collection. When Edward was the king, the British had a cheap and good postal system. If anyone wanted to tell a friend that they were ing for tea in the afternoon, they would send a postcard in the morning. “Drop me a card” was as mon then as “give me a ring” as now. In 1902 an important step was taken.

It was then that the simple postcard, as we know now, was created. 5. In Britain in the 1890s, _.

Choose the best title for the passage. A. Postcards Old and New B. Postcard Clubs in the 1890sC. Creation of the Present Postcard D. Postal System in BritainCAlthough many Chinese students say that their knowledge of English grammar is good, most would admit that their spoken English is poor. Whenever I speak to a Chinese student they always say, “My spoken English is poor.” However, their spoken English does not have to remain “poor”! I would like to suggest that there may be some reasons for their problems with spoken English. First, they fail to find suitable words to express themselves due to a limited vocabulary. Obviously the better answer is to expand their vocabulary. However, you can speak with a limited vocabulary, if your attitude is positive. Others will follow you as long as you use the words that you know. Second, they are afraid of making mistakes. Sometimes they make mistakes when they are speaking because they are shy and nervous. Yet students should remember that their goal should be FLUENCY NOT ACCURACY（准确性）. Your aim in writing is to be accurate following the rules for grammar and using the right words and spelling them correctly. However, in speaking your aim is fluency. You want to get your message across, to talk to someone in English, as quickly and as well as you can, even though sometimes you may use a wrong word or tense, but it doesnt matter because the person you are speaking to will understand you and make allowances for any mistakes he hears. The third reason is that not enough attention is paid to listening. You have one mouth but two years! All that hearing was necessary for you to start speaking. Fourth, most Chinese students are reactive rather than proactive language learners. Instead of actively seeking out opportunities to improve their spoken English they passively wait for speaking opportunities to e to them and wonder why their English always remains poor. If you have this proactive outlook, then you will see English opportunities wherever you go. If you do not use your English beyond the classroom you will forget what English you know. Remember: USE IT OR LOSE IT! You can learn how to speak English better by speaking English more. 9What is most probably the writers purpose in writing the passage?ATo improve your reading. BTo improve your listening. CTo improve your spoken English. DTo improve your vocabulary. 10It can be inferred from the third paragraph that _.A. Fluency is more important than accuracy.B. It doesnt matter to make mistakes when we use English.C. In order to get our message across we should speak cautiously.DFeeling shy and nervous can lead to errors.11The last paragraph is possibly close to the meaning of “_”. Amore hurry, less speed Bbetter late than never Csilence is gold Dpractice makes perfect12The text is most probably taken from a _. Ateachers diary Breport on study Csports newspaper Dmovie magazineDI used to think education was the most important thing in my life. Recently my attitude has begun to change, although I still hold that it is essential for everyone in the world today. As a top junior student in my school, I was asked to make a speech on how to learn English well. Standing in front of audience, I was trembling. I didnt remember any word that I had prepared. I ran out of the conference room without finishing my speech, leaving everyone puzzled. I cried that night in my room, feeling that I was a loser. Studying takes up so much of my time that I feel unable to really develop myself. I have received many awards in school, but they dont show anything about me. I am just storing knowledge, yet fail to municate with others. When I leave school I feel I will be of no use to society.I realize that everyone has his own way of living. I want to change my lifestyle. Of course I will keep studying. Yet I plan to look for a part-time job, which might turn out to be a good chance to get to know society.13. From the passage we can learn that the author_.A. es to know how important it is to make some moneyB. realizes that it is more important to develop oneself than just to learn knowledgeC. does not think education is the most important thing in his life any moreD. thinks that getting along well with others is more important than education14. The author believes the awards he has received _.A. show that he is a top student B. show how much time he has spent in learningC. mean that he knows how to learn D. dont necessarily show he is excellent in many ways15. The author feels fearful that he will be of no use to society mainly because_.A. he is unable to develop himself B. studying takes too much of his timeC. he does not know how to municate with others D. he feels that he is a failure第二节 七选五 （共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 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。What is the difference between happy people and unhappy people?_16_Read the following list of things that HAPPY people do differently from UNHAPPY people and you will know. Well, I can tell you for sure that those people who are really happy, FEAR less and LOVE a lot more. They see each moment, each challenge, each person as an opportunity to discover more about themselves and the world around them._17_ Happy people understand that you cant really change a situation by resisting（反抗）it.
