(d)students work very hard but many are unhappy. they feel heavy pressure(压力)from their parents. most parents always tell their children to study harder so that they can have a wonderful life. though this may be a good idea for those very clever students, it can have terrible results for many students because they have difficulties in their studies. as it is reported (据报道), some students killed themselves. some join the groups of trouble makers. many of them have tried very hard at school but they have failed in the exams and it makes their parents lose hope. such students feel that they are hated by everyone else they meet and they dont want to go to school any longer, so they become dropouts. it is surprising that though most parents are worried about their children, they do not help them in any way. many parents feel that they are not able to help their children and that it is the teachers work to help their children. to make matters worse, a lot of parents send their children to those schools opening in the evenings and on weekends. those schools only help students to pass exams. it is a great surprise that almost three quarters of middle school students have been to such kind of schools. many schools usually have rules about everything, from the students hair to their clothes and the things in their school bags. in fact, such strict（严格的）rules may hurt the feelings of the students. almost 40% of the students said that no one had taught them how to get on with others, how to tell（分辨）right from wrong and how to show love to others, even to their parents.71. many students feel unhappy because .a. their teachers dont like them b. they worry about their parents c. their parents put too much pressure on them d. they cant get on well with those clever students72. some of the students join the groups of trouble makers because . a. they want to kill themselves b. they cant do well in school c. they hate everyone else they meet d. they are afraid of making trouble73.“dropouts” are the students who . a. make trouble in and out of school b. try hard but always fail in the exams c. lose hope and never do their homework d. leave school before finishing their studies74. which of the following is not true? a. few students like very heavy pressure. b. its only the teachers duty to help the students. c. heavy pressure may be harmful to many children. d. most parents only think of their childrens exam results.75. we should to help them feel less pressure.a. show more love to the students b. send the students to evening schools c. help the students choose school clothes d. make the students keep all the strict school rules第二部分 非选择题（共55分）五、词汇运用 用括号内所给词的适当形式填空（每空不限一词）（共10小题；每小题1分，满分10分）76.do you agree_ (sing) us an english song? 77. do you know the _(long) of the summer holiday.78. china is one of the _ (great) countries in the world.79. this book is_(use). you dont have to read it any more. 80. he was ill because of _ (watch) tv all day and all night.81. nancy practices softball _(two)a week.82. look! the old man is walking_(slow)in the street.83. most schools in china are_(mix)schools. 84. my teacher told me that a cow has two _(stomach) in its body.85.my little dog hurt_(it)when it jumped down from the desk.六、完成句子（每空一词；共10空，每空0.5分，满分5分）86. 她脸上总是带着微笑, 看上去很开心。she always _ a smile _ her face and looks happy.87. 在我的旅行刚开始时,我感觉到恶心。 at the _ of my trip, i felt _.88.那就像看电视, 但是广告少些。 it _ _ watching tv, but there are fewer advertisements.89. 它是由金属制成的, 而且真的非常高。 it is _ _ metal and is really tall.90. 这篇文章与其它文章不同。 this article is _ _ the other ones.七、阅读表达 阅读短文, 按要求完成短文后的各项任务。（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分）did you visit yunnan? i visited it during the summer holiday with my parents. now let me tell you something about my visit to the beautiful place. yunnan is in the southwest of china.
