a. she was good at dancingb. she taught students how to dancec. she was a strict and understanding teacherd. she liked to play games with the students after class 22. how did the author feel about the game at first? a. she was excited b. she thought it would be func. she was nervous d. she was disappointed 23. it can be inferred from the passage that _. a. miss forsythe had planned the game that way on purpose (故意地)b. miss forsythe helped the author pick up the tallest girl c. the author was afraid when she felt ten feet talld. the author lost confidence by dancing with her classmate24. what is the best title for the passage?a. my school lifeb. our pe teacher miss forsythe c. my nightmare pe classes d. a game with my classmate blast week i visited my friend pete in the new home where he lives with his wife and daughter. pete used to spend his holidays travelling around the world.nowadays he prefers to spend his holidays and weekends making his house look more beautiful. like hundreds of thousands of other british people, he has discovered the joy of diy (do it yourself), which means if there are any things that need fixing around the house, he will try to do the job himself.as he showed me the new kitchen he put together by himself and the newly painted walls, i asked pete where he got his inspiration (灵感) from. he told me that his favorite source of ideas was a diy program on tv.this got me thinking about the great popularity of diy programs in the uk. each major channel(频道) has at least one home or garden improving show and theres even a satellite channel completely about the subject.i guess it is not really surprising that diy programs are so popular. two common sayings in britain an englishmans home is his castle and theres no place like homeshow how important our houses are to us. with the present economic downturn, many people cant afford to buy a bigger house so they are looking at how they can make their house better without spending a lot of money. diy is the perfect choice.but be careful! i read a report that said over 230,000 people were injured while doing home improvements in the uk in just one year, including 41,000 who fell off ladders (梯子) and 5,800 who were seriously hurt by hammers(锤子). so i wont be going down to the hardware store.25. how did pete spend his holiday in the past?a. visiting his friends b. travelling around the worldc. divingd. making his house beautiful26. which might not be shown in a diy program on tv?a. scuba diving b. a garden improving feature (特别节目)c. home improvementsd. fixing things in kitchens27. which is not the reason why diy is popular among british people?a. they enjoy diyb. they want to be on tvc. they want to make their houses better themselvesd. they can improve their houses without spending much money28. at the end of the article the writer wants us to remember _.a. not to go to the hardware storeb. to be careful not to get hurt while doing diyc. to keep watching diy on tv while drinking a nice cup of tead. not to climb ladders or use hammerscdid you know that something as simple as the wallpaper on your computer can tell people a lot about you? according to researcher donna dawson, our computers say something about what were like because they are part of our “personal space.”a picture of a child or family on the screen often means the person cares deeply about their loved ones. a photo of the person surrounded by friends shows they value their popularity and probably work well with other people. on the other hand, pictures showing examples of past successes, like winning a prize may mean a person is only interested in themselves.pictures of nature and natural scenery tell people that you are driven to succeed and use the pictures to relax and remove the pressure (压力) in your life. cityscapes, pictures of cities or towns, show that you enjoy travel and adventure. most people with cityscapes as their wallpaper are optimistic (乐观的), happy people who feel even better thinking about the places theyve visited or want to visit.pictures of animals show that you are optimistic and kind-hearted. you are often happy and you enjoy life and act young. cartoons (漫画) or drawings show that you are a multitasker, someone who does many things at once. you have many responsibilities, but you deal with them well. thats one reason you like having something to smile about when you look at your computer wallpaper.then, what does plain blue wallpaper tell us about a person? according to dawson, a person with plain blue wallpaper probably values their privacy and keeps work from becoming too personal.29. a prize photo as wallpaper suggests someone _.a. has a strong wish to succeedb. is confident about himself or herself c. cares only about himself or herselfd. works very well with others30. those who look on the bright side of things are likely to have wallpaper like _.a. pictures of nature and natural scenery b. city views or pictures of animalsc. pictures showing their past successes d. photos of staying with friends31. what can be the best title for the text?a. where to look for your computer wallpaperb. computer wallpaper shows your personalityc. how to place wallpaper on your computerd. computer wallpaper interests everyonedevery country has its heroes. the heroes are the people the nation and especially the young people admire or think highly of. if you get a list of the heroes of a nation, it will tell you the potential (潜力) of that nation.today in america, if you ask the high school students to list their heroes, their choices would probably fall into three groups. the first group of heroes would be the rock stars the people connected with rock music. there is no doubt that such people do have talent (才能) but one wonders if one should treat rock stars as a model. the rock stars too often are mixed (混合) with drugs and their personal life is not all that good. the rock stars are rich and wear the latest fashion styles. however, one should find more in a hero than such things as money and good clothes.a second type of hero for the american youth is the sports star. again you have a person who has a great ability in one area sports. however, too often the personal life of the sports star is a bit of disorder. too frequently, drugs and drinking are a part of life of the sports star.a third type of hero is the tv or movie star. this person may have lots of acting talent and is quite handsome. however, the personal life of too many actors is quite sad and they should not be held up as a model of young people. today, the rock star, the athlete and the actor all have become the models of the youth in america. really, do you hear a young person say that his hero is a doctor, a teacher or a scientist? these people are not rich and do not wear fashionable clothes. however, they are talented people who work hard to make the world a better place for everyone.what is really sad is that the young try to imitate their heroes. they like to wear the same clothes and follow their styles. if the heroes of today for the american young people are limited only to rock stars, athletes and actors, the future does not look too bright.32. the last sentence of the first paragraph implies (暗示) that _.a. heroes of a nation will make the nation itselfb. if a nation has a lot of heroes, it will be strong c. what the people admire will make the future of the nationd. if you want to be a hero, you must admire the hero33. from the passage, we know that the heroes the american youth admire are those _. a. who are perfect in all areasb. who are talented in some area but lead an improper lifec. who are not bright but are good-lookingd. who are rich but are strict with themselves 34. what is the writers attitude towards american youths admiration?a. he understands itb. he is angry about itc. he thinks badly of it d. he is uninterested in it35. what does the underlined word “imitate” mean in chinese in the last paragraph? a. 喜爱 b. 模仿 c. 崇拜 d. 迷恋第二节（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。if youve ever wondered how dancers would tell the story of a man and a womans love for each other through dance moves, you should watch people dance the rumba. 36 and it is considered the most passionate (富有激情的) ballroom dance.like many latin dances, the rumba has its roots (根源) in africa. when the spanish first moved to the new world, they brought african slaves to work for them. 37 when they were finished with a hard days work, they would sometimes find the person they were in love with and dance the rumba. 38 they wanted to dance the rumba in public!the dance slowly spread and grew in popularity. then, in the 1930s, the famous dance teacher monsieur pierre saw the rumba being danced in new york and he decided it was so exciting and interesting it should be danced in london, too. 39 today there are several types of rumba people dance. some dance a type of rumba that is very fast and features (以为特点) big movements. 40 no matter what type of rumba people dance, the story the dance tells is still the same: the love between a man and a woman.a. from there, the rumba spread across the worldb. this popular dance is from the island nation of cuba c. others dance a slow type of rumba and use small stepsd. when slave masters saw this dance, they were impressede. slaves worked long hours and had very few ways to relaxf. when the rumba was first danced, it referred to a dance partyg. this dance became a formal dance done in public with a partner第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节, 满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分, 满分30分)阅读下面短文, 从短文后各题所给的四个选项(a、b、c和d)中, 选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项。dear mom and dad,id like you to know that i am grateful for everything youve done for me, such as teaching me, taking care of me and loving me.im writing this thank-you letter, mom and dad, because i want you to know what a big 41 you have truly made in my life. you 42 me so many things about the world and myself. you were the first ones to tell me about the importance of 43 by telling me it was 44 to stop all my other playmates from using my toys. and to this day, 45 those toys are long gone, i 46 to live by the idea of sharing my blessings (恩赐) with the people 47 me.mom and dad, you also 48 me to be sympathetic (同情的) towards the blind old man. you told me that our pets are there for us to 49 and not to hurt. and because of those 50 , ive learnt to be 51 .thank you, mom and dad. you gave me some of the nicest 52 . mom, i remember how you would let me sleep in your bed and how you 53 to bring me my favorite fried chicken and take care of me whenever i was 54 . dad, i remember how you worked 55 to make me a playhouse in the yard so my friends and i could 56 happily there.i may have 57 you and your purposes when i was much younger. but now i know that everything you did was for my own 58 .mom and dad, i 59 this thank-you letter is enough to let you know how 60 i am to you for everything youve done for me.all the love,rex41. a. surprise b. attitudec. difference d. discovery42. a. left b. taught c. gaved. showed43. a. studyingb. team-workingc. sharingd. loving44. a. wrong b. kind c. naturald. generous45. a. becauseb. unlessc. befored. though46. a. continueb. stopc. determinedd. mean47. a. besideb. likec. beneath d. around48. a. commandedb. required c. educated d. begged49. a. play withb. give away c. take awayd. look after50. a. lessons b. storiesc. promisesd. problems51. a. caringb. warm-heartedc. easy-goingd. lovely52. a. presentsb. memories c. methodsd. ideas53. a. hadb. usedc. refusedd. decided54. a. sickb. tiredc. hungryd. disappointed55. a. freelyb. differently c. deep d. hard56. a. sleepb. restc. playd. work57.a. ignored b. misunderstood c. forgotten d. believed58. a. natureb. pleasurec. good d. use59.a. wish b. hope c. agreed. mean60. a. wonderfulb. grateful c. hopefuld. powerful第卷 非选择题（共三大题, 计50分）第二节 语法填空题(共10小题；每小题1.5分, 满分15分)阅读下面材料, 在空白处填入适当的内容(1个单词)或括号内单词的正确形式。there are all kinds of 61 (celebrate) throughout the world. different countries have different festivals. festivals of the dead are held 62 (honour) the dead or to satisfy the ancestors. festivals can also 63 (hold) to honour famous people. in china, the dragon boat festival honours the famous ancient poet, qu yuan. the most 64 (energy) and important festivals are spring festivals 65 look forward to the end of winter and to the coming of spring. at the spring festival in china, people eat such things 66 dumplings, fish and meat and may give children lucky mone
