15-year-old bob had a problem. like a lot of children. bob was interested in doing many things. he liked dancing most and wanted to join a dancing group. but bobs high school didnt have a boys dancing group but a girls group. he tried to join the girls group. and he made it. bob was very angry about it, so he went to a judge（法官）. the judge said it was not a right decision and told the school to let bob go back to the dancing group.45. it was difficult for bob to join the school dancing group because _. a. the school only had a girls dancing group b. the school didnt allow boys to dance c. the group had enough dancers already d. he was not a good dancer46. the school worried that _ if bob stayed in the group. a. nobody would watch their dance b. other boys would join and the girls might

successful people ever felt sad? do they have any “secrets” to success? the answers to these questions can be found in us president barack obamas “back to school” speech. here is an excerpt(摘录) from his speech.i know that sometimes, you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard workthat your ticket to success is through rapping (饶舌音乐) or basketball or being a tv star, when chances are, youre not going to be any of those things.but the truth is, being successful is hard. you wont love every subject you study. not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute. and you may not succeed at everything the first time you try.thats ok. some of the most successful people in the world are the ones whove had the most failures. jk rowlings first harry potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out. michael jordan was cut from his high school basketball team, and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots during his career . but he once said, “i have failed over and over again in my life. and that is why i succeed.”these people succeeded because they understand that you cant let your failures beat youyou have to let them teach you. you have to let them show you what to do differently next time. no ones born being good at things. you become good at things through hard work. dont be afraid to ask questions. dont be afraid to ask for help when you need it. i do that every day. asking for help isnt a sign of weakness; its a sign of strength. it shows you have the courage to admit(承认) when you dont know something, and to learn something new.and even when youre struggling, even when youre discouraged (泄气), and you feel like other people have given up on youdont ever give up on yourself. because when you give up on yourself, you give up on your country.48. why does barack obama mention jk rowling and michael jordan in the fourth paragraph?a. to compare (比较) these two famous persons. b. to explain that writing and sports are difficult skills.c. to show that the two persons were treated unfairly.d. to prove that failure is the mother of success.49. which of the following statements is not true?a. no one can be successful without working hard. b. failure can be good if you treat it in a right way.c. those who believe in themselves shouldnt ask others for help.d. one should try his best to make his dream come true.50. which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence?a. one should change his mind when others give honest advice to him.b. one should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with.c. one doesnt have to work hard when he has failed several times.d. one doesnt have to take others advice when they get away from him. cthe golden gate bridge joins the beautiful city of san francisco with suburbs(郊区) to the north. each day, about one hundred thousand cars cross the bridge, taking people to and from the city. more than half of them cross the bridge during the morning and evening rush hours, as a result, the trip is not pleasant.now, however, there is at least one group of happy commuters(经常往返者). these are the people who travel under the bridge instead of on it. they go to work by boat and enjoy it so much that most of them say they will never go by car again.the boat they take is the large, quiet, comfortable “golden gate”. commuters can enjoy the sun on the boat. in the morning they can have breakfast in the coffee shop, and in the evening they can have a drink in the bar while they are looking at san franciscos famous scene and the nearby hills.the trip only takes thirty minutes and is not expensive. but best of all, being on a boat seems to make people feel more friendly towards each other. two commuters who met on the “golden gate” have already got married.because the boat had been so successful, there are plans to use other, still larger boats. there is also a plan for a high-speed boat that will make the trip in only fifteen minutes. not everyone is happy about that. “a lot of people dont want to get the trip faster,” said one commuter, “they feel that an hour is just enough to rest.”51. crossing the golden gate bridge by car is not pleasant because _.a. it takes people 30 minutesb. the golden gate bridge is very longc. the bridge is crowded with bikes, cars, buses and trucks all the timed. most of the car owners can not enjoy the beauty of san francisco52. in the future, _.a. larger boats will be used to carry commutesb. a big coffee shop will be builtc. more and more people will get married on the boat d. people will all go to work by boat53. many people dont like the new idea for a high-speed boat because _.a. they dont want to go to work earlierb. they like to stay on the boatc. there will be more people on the boatd. they wont have enough time to restdit was my first day at school in london and i was half-excited and half-frightened. on my way to school i wondered what kinds of questions the other boys would ask me and practiced all the answers, “i am nine years old. i was born here but i havent lived here since i was two. i was living in farley. its about thirty miles away. i came back to london two months ago.” i also wondered if it was the custom for boys to fight strangers like me, but i was tall for my age. i hoped they would decide not to risk it.no one took any notice of me before school. i stood in the center of the playground, expecting someone to say “hello”, but no one spoke to me. when a teacher called my name and told me where my classroom was, one or two boys looked at me but that was all.my teacher was called mr jones. there were 42 boys in the class, so i didnt stand out there, either, until the first lesson of the afternoon. mr jones was very fond of charles dickens. first he asked several boys if they knew dickens birthplace, but no one guessed right. a boy called brian, the biggest in the class, said, “timbuktu.” mr jones went red in the face. then he asked me. i said, “portsmouth.” and everyone looked at me because mr jones said i was right. this didnt make me very popular, of course. “he thinks hes clever,” i heard brian say. after that, we went out to the playground to play football. i was in brians team, and he clearly had dickens in mind because he told me to go in goal. no one ever wanted to be the goalkeeper.“hes big enough and useless enough,” brian said to his friends. i suppose mr jones remembered dickens, too, because when the game was nearly over, brian pushed one of the players on the other team, and he gave our team a penalty（惩罚）. as the boy kicked the ball hard along the ground to my right, i threw myself down and saved it. all my team crowded round me. my knees were hurt, bleeding. brian took out a handkerchief and offered it to me. “do you want to join my team?” he said. at the end of the day, i was no longer a stranger.54the writer prepared to answer all of the following questions except “_”. a. how old are you? b. where are you from? c. do you want to join my team? d. when did you come back to london?55we can learn from the passage that _.a. boys were usually unfriendly to new studentsb. the writer was not greeted as he expected c. brian was the best football player on the team d. the writer was glad to be a goalkeeper56the underlined sentence in paragraph 1shows that the writer was _. a. confident b. afraid c. satisfied d. thoughtful57the writer was offered a handkerchief because _. a. he threw himself down and saved the goal b. he pushed a player on the other team c. he was beginning to be accepted d. he was no longer a new stranger第ii卷（主观题 共40分）五、词汇运用（本大题共8分，每小题1分）(a) 根据句意，用括号内所给单词的适当形式填空。1. keeping worries to yourself can make
