this is because they cannot read or write and they have to remember things they can write down in a little notebook. they have to remember days, names, songs and stories, so their memory is the whole time being exercised. so if you want to have a good memory, learn from the people: practice remembering.( )54. the main reason(主要原因) for one with poor memory is that _ .a. his father or mother may have a poor memoryb. he does not use his arms or legs for some timec. his memory is not often usedd. he cant read or write( )55. if you do not use your arms or legs for some time, _ .a. you cant use them any moreb. they will become strongerc. they become weak and wont become strong until you use them againd. they will not change( )56. which of the following is not true? a. your memory works in the same way as your arms or legs.b. your memory, like your arms or legs, becomes weak if you dont give it enough chance for practice.c. dont learn how to read and write if you want to have a better memory. d. a good memory comes from more practice.( )57. give a best title(标题) for this passage. a. dont stop using your arms or legs b. how to have a good memory c. strong arms and good memories d. learn from the peoplec a driver stopped his car on a street side to have a rest. when he sat in the seat and closed his eyes, a pedestrian (行人) came up and knocked at his window to ask the time. the driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch, it is 8 oclock. he said. then he went to sleep again. but soon he woke up because a second pedestrian was knocking at the window, sir, do you have the time? he asked. the driver looked at his watch again and told the man it was 8:30.if it happened again, he could not have a good rest. so he wrote a short note and put it on the window for all the people to see. it said, i dont have the time.again the man sat in the seat and slept. a few minutes later a third pedestrian came along and began knocking at the window. hey, sir, she said, its 8:45.( ) 58. the driver stopped his car to _.a. have breakfastb. have a restc. have lunchd. tell time( ) 59. the first pedestrian knocked at his window to _.a.wake him upb. take his car c. ask the timed. buy his car( ) 60. why did the third pedestrian come along and begin knocking at the window?a. she wanted to know the time. b. she thought the driver was ill.c. she wanted to wake the driver up. d. she knew the time and wanted to tell the driver. ( ) 61. which of the following sentences istrue?a. the driver slept well in his car.b. the driver had a good rest in his car.c. the third pedestrian was kind-hearted but the driver wouldnt think so.d. the driver would be happy when the third pedestrian told him the time.d in the 13th century, the famous indian traveller, marco polo, travelled a long way to china. he saw many wonderful things. one of the things he discovered was that chinese used paper money. in western countries, people did not use paper money until the 15th century. however, people in china began to use paper money in the 7th century. a chinese man called cai lun invented paper almost 2,000 years ago. he made it from wood. he took the wood from trees and made it into paper. he then put these pieces of paper together and made them into a book. now paper still comes from trees. we use a lot of paper every day. if we keep on wasting so much paper, there will not be any trees left on the earth. if there are no trees, there will be no paper. every day, people throw away about 2,800 tons of paper in our city. it takes 17 trees to make one ton of paper. this means that we are cutting nearly 48,000 trees every day. since it takes more than 10 years for a tree to grow, we must start using less paper now. if we dont, we will not have enough time to grow more trees to take the place of those we use for paper. so how can we save paper? we can use both sides of every piece of paper, especially when we are making notes. we can also use cotton handkerchiefs（手帕)and paper ones. when we go shopping, we can use fewer paper bags. if the shop assistant gives us a paper bag, we can save it and refuse it later. everyone can help to save paper. if we all think carefully, we can help protect trees. but we should do it now, before it is too late.( )62. when he was in china, marco polo _ . a. discovered cai lun invented paper b. learned to make paper c. saw many wonderful things d. read a lot of books( )63. about _ tons of paper are thrown away every day in our city. a. 1,700 b. 2,000 c. 2,800 d. 48,000( )64. which of the following is the way of saving paper? a. to use both sides of every piece of paper. b. to use the paper bags from shops more than once. c. to use cotton handkerchiefs and paper ones. d. all of the above.( )65. which is the best title（题目） of the passage? a. saving paper. b. the history of paper. c. cotton handkerchiefs back again. d. cai lun, the great inventor.第ii卷（非选择题60分）五、词汇应用（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。（每空一词）66. he is very smart and always answers questions _ (correct).67. if you want to sell your house , why not put an _ (advertise) in the newspaper?68. if you eat _ (health)food, you may be ill.69. here is a card for you with our best _ (greet). 70. robinson lived there _(孤独).71. who are your favourite _(英雄)in your country ?72. they look forward to _ (解决) their problems.73.there are a number of _ (味道好) fruits in the market . 74. we have to learn more than 6 _ each term(科目).75. whose writing is the best in this writing _(比赛).六、任务型阅读（共10空；每空1分，计10分）阅读下列短文，根据短中的信息完成文后表格。（每空一词）how do you feel when you have to make a speech(演讲) in front of class? what about when you go to a birthday party? do you get really shy?shyness means feeling nervous or frightened when youre around other people. experts have found that more than 80% middle school students feel afraid to be the centre of attention. some kids are born shy. some become shy later because of their life experiences.its ok if it takes you a while to feel yourself again when you go to a new place or meet new people. in fact, everybody gets a little shy sometimes. most people have red faces and talk in broken sentences when they get shy. but some become so shy that they wont go to a restaurant because they are too nervous to order and pay the bill. some are afraid to meet new people, so they seldom go outside. this kind of shyness can be bad for a person.if shyness doesnt stop you from doing anything you want to do, being shy isnt a very big problem. some experts say shy people are quieter and cleverer because they think more and talk less. shy people are also good at working with others because they think more for other people. some great people in history were shy, too.you see, being shy isnt all bad. but remember not to let good chances pass by just because of it! if you have to sing a song at a birthday party or practise your spoken english in front of others, just do it! theres nothing to be afraid of.title: _76_ meaning to feel nervous or _77_ 78 for shyness to be the centre of attention to _79_ born shy to have life expe
