This is the Maori language. English sailors began to visit New Zealand after 1770.They found the Maoris, a dark-skinned people, living there. They had e from islands in the Pacific Ocean 400 years before in the 14th century.For a long time the British Government was not very interested in these far-away islands. It was made a British colony(殖民地) in 1840. In this year the first British people came to settle in the new country. More and more settlers came from Britain later.The Maoris were friendly to the first settlers. But soon the new settlers wanted the Maoris land. So in1844 there was fighting between them. This was the first of several wars between the two peoples. The next fifty years was very bad for Maoris. Many were killed in the wars. Many more died from diseases brought by the British. In 1840 there were 200,000 Maoris. By 1996 this number had fallen to 42,000.For many years, the British New Zealanders looked down upon the Maoris. In the 20thcentury the two peoples have lived in peace. They have equal rights and the Maori language is one of the languages of the country. Today there are about a quarter of a million Maoris, which is about 9% of the population. Most of them live in NorthIsland. They have a rich culture and a great love for singing and dancing.1. After the first visit to New Zealand, the British government showed little interest in it because_A. there were dark-skinned people living thereB.

Wars between the Maoris and the British settlers _A. broke out in 1844 B. made 42,000 Maoris lose their lives.C. never happened. D. lasted until nowIs there anything more important than health? I dont think so. “Health is the greatest wealth,” wise people say. You cant be good at your studies or work well when you are ill. If you have a headache, toothache, backache, earache or bad pain in the stomach, if you plain of a bad cough, if you run a high temperature and have a bad cold, or if you suffer from high or low blood pressure, I think you should go to the doctor. The doctor will examine your throat, feel your pulse, test your blood pressure, take your temperature, sound your heart and lungs, test your eyes, check your teeth or have your chest X-rayed. After that he will advise some treatment, or some medicine. The only thing you have to do is to follow his advice.Speaking about doctors advice, I cant help telling you a funny story.An old gentleman came to see the doctor. The man was very ill. He told the doctor about his weakness, memory loss and serious problems with his heart and lungs. The doctor examined him and said there was no medicine for his disease. He told his patient to go to a quiet place for a month and have a good rest. He also advised him to eat a lot of meat, drink two glasses of red wine every day and take long walks. In other words, the doctor advised him to follow the rule: “Eat at pleasure, drink with measure and enjoy life as it is.” The doctor also said that if the man wanted to be well again, he shouldnt smoke more than one cigarette a day. A month later the gentleman came into the doctors office. He looked cheerful and happy. He thanked the doctor and said that he had never felt a healthier man.“But you know, doctor,” he said, “its not easy to begin smoking at my age.”4. The writer thinks that _. A. health is more important than wealth B. work is as important as studiesC. medicine is more important than pleasure D. nothing is more important than money5. What advice did the doctor NOT give the old man?A. Take long walks. B. Smoke more than one cigarette a day.C. Eat a lot of meat. D. Drink two glasses of red wine every day.6. The underlined part “he had never felt a healthierman” means “_”. A. he was feeling better than ever B. he wasnt a healthy manC. he was feeling worse than before D. he will be well again7. From the last sentence of the passage, we can learn _. A. the man was a heavy smoker before seeing the doctor 舒中高一英语 第1页 (共8页)舒中高一英语 第2页 (共8页)B. the man didnt smoke so much before seeing the doctorC. the man didnt smoke before seeing the doctorD. the man began to learn to smoke before seeing the doctor CWaston won his most important game and became Southern Chess Master (南部象棋大师) in 1977. He was given the silver cup.“It isnt rightly mine,”he said, when he was holding the cup.“It was won two years ago when I was on holiday in“A family was staying at my hotel at that time. MrsPrag, the mother, was told that I played chess; and she begged me to give her young son a game. Hes only ten.she said, Ive been told that he plays quite well.“Well,as you can guess, I wasnt too happy. A player likes the opponent (对手) to play as well as he does. But it was holiday time and I agreed to play. We placed the board (棋盘) in the garden. The game began. I hoped it would be quickand so it was.“soon knew that David Prag was no learner. After ten minutes his sister came outside and began to play tennis against a wall.The boy seemed to lose interest in our game. He moved a piece (棋子) without care. I gave my attention to the board.“Call me when you are ready, Mr Watson,” he said.“When I was ready?I looked up.He had gone off to play with his sister.I studied the boardand found I was driven into corner.So it went on with David: a quick move, then tennis, back to the board,then back to his sister. My difficult condition became impossible to change. I was beaten,oh so easily,by a ten-year-old chess player.He was the winner in twenty-eight minutes.“David Prag: a name to remember. I had a chance to use his game today, and it won this cup for me. To him, of course, it is only one of a hundred, or perhaps a thousand, winning games.”8. When Mr Watson said, “It isnt rightly mine.

DTurning on the TV, a wonderful scene es to your eyesa group of men, tall, strong and handsome, and women, young, beautiful and attractive, too. Together they eat in the finest restaurants, traveling everywhere around the world by luxurious planes and pleasure ships. They are models.Do you envy them? What sort of life are models leading? Is it a wonderful life for a young lady or a young man?A few models are well-known actors or actresses who can make a lot of money only by showing themselves off in mercials. But the majority of them are just curious to see what it is like. Theyd like to be models just because they are attracted by what they imaginemodels earn a lot of money and lead a glorious life. This is true for those who are very successful. However, most models find it difficult to get work. very few can earn enough to live on, and for all models their expenses are high. Their agents claim about 20% of the earnings, and no model will get very far without a clever agent. Besides, they have to buy good clothing. They also have to pay to travel to interviews and reach the places where the work is to be done.Interviews for a model job are known as cattle-markets in the modeling world, and not without a good reason. A top model can choose his or her work, demand and receive high fees and has his or her expenses paid. But for most models, the situation is quite different. And agent or employer inspects each model much as a farmer inspects cattle at a market. Intelligence, qualifications and personal characteristics count for little against good looks and tight figures. For all except the very few lucky ones, the life of a model is a continual search for work, trying to sell himself or herself in the face of fierce petition and, sometimes, not particularly moral standards on the part of some employers.舒中高一英语 第3页 (共8页)舒中高一英语 第4页 (共8页)Immigration officials at airport look suspiciously at a girl whose passport shows her occupation as “Model”, and these are men and women of considerable experience of the world.

A person who believes in himself will keep trying to reach his goal no matter how many times he fails. In my_43_ , the quality of determination to succeed is an important one to have. Therefore, I believe that we should never give up. One reason is that if we give up too easily, we will 44 (rare) achieve anything. It is not unusual for us to fail in our first attempt at something new, so we should not feel 45(disappoint) and should try again. Besides, if we always give up when we fail , we will not be able to develop new skills and grow.46 reason we should never give up is that we can learn from our mistakes so that we can not make the same ones. If we do not try again, the lesson we have learned 47 (waste).Finally, we should never give up because as we work to reach our goals, we develop confidence, and this confidence can help us succeed in other areas of our lives. If we never challenge ourselves, we will begin to doubt our 48 (able).In short, it is important that we do not give up when working for our goals. 49 we succeed in the end or not , we will learn something , and what we learn will help us to bee better and more confident. Furthermore, if we give up , we have no chance of attaining our goals any more , but if we keep making great efforts, there is always a chance 50 we will succeed one day. 第三部分：写作（共两节，满分35分）第一节：短文改错（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）下面短文中共有10处错误，错误涉及一个单词的增加、
