effective ways to 37 our english writing ability.compared with 38 forms of writing, it is shorter and 39 less time. it can help us to 40 the habit of thinking in english. 41 we persist in (坚持) this practice, gradually well learn how to express ourselves in english. in keeping a diary in english, 42 can use the important phrases and sentences weve 43 in or out of english classes to describe our 44 , and this way we can master and use freely 45 weve learned, which will do good 46 us in english learning. but 47 we certainly run up against many difficulties. in the first place, it often happens that we have 48 finding proper words and phrases to give expression to our mind. secondly, there 49 many idiomatic(惯用的) ways of saying things in chinese. and it is extremely hard for us to put them 50 english properly.as far as i am concerned, my suggestion is that we 51 always have a notebook and a chinese-english dictionary within easy reach. whenever 52 beats （难倒）us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then look it up in our dictionary. we can also turn to our english teacher for 53 , if necessary.in short, i believe that it is of 54 use to keep a diary in english for the development of our 55 skills.36. a. thinkb. standc. practice d. finish37. a. getb. gainc. improved. prove38. a. otherb. the othersc. anotherd. others39. a. spendsb. takesc. paysd. spares40. a. pickb.

person came up and knocked at the window to ask the time. the driver opened his eyes and looked at his watch: “its 8:05,” he said. then he went to sleep again. but soon he was waken up again because a second person was knocking at the window. “sir, do you know the time?” he asked. the driver looked at his watch again, and told him it was half past eight.in this way, the driver thought he could not have a good rest, so he wrote a short note and stuck it on the window for all to see. it said, “i dont know the time.”again, he lay down in the seat for his sleep. a few minutes later, a third person came and began to knock at the window, “hey, sir,” he said, “its a quarter to nine.”56. where did the driver sleep?a. at the window b. in the street road c. in his car d. in his room.57. how long had

the timeb. because he didnt want anybody to trouble himc. because he needed somebody to wake him up.d. because he wanted somebody to tell him the timebthere are many differences between america and china. the biggest difference is traffic rules. in america there are too much more cars than in china. but there are much fewer traffic jams and accidents in america than in china. we hardly see traffic police in the street, but all cars obey strictly traffic rules, and people hardly find that a car does not obey traffic rules in the street.about american traffic rules, there are many better terms, such as:1. stop line: there are stop lines in all crossing without traffic light (some have two stop lines and others have four stop lines). all cars must stop while meeting the stop line.2. traffic light: there is traffic light in the crossing of the road. cars may almost turn every direction. the traffic light can give signal step by step including u-turn. there is a kind of middle lane of turning left. when a car wants to turn left in the road, he may enter into the middle lane of turning left and give a signal of turning left. when he thinks being safe, he may turn left. in many conditions the order of passing is also given very specifically. if people want to change lane or turn, they must look behind and think being safe. only so, they may do it.3. specific item: such as parking, there are three kinds of lines (their colors are white, blue or red) in the roadside. every line may park different kinds of cars. there are many streets in some residential areas (住宅区), and there is a kind of rule that any car cannot park at any time or any period time. in every parking, there are some special positions for invalid (伤残的) people.4. about the priority of passenger and car: at any case, passengers have the priority to cars. and only after passengers have passed the road and got the top of sidestep, cars may go ahead.in general, traffic rules of america are very specific, convenient, safe and humanizing.59. which of the following is not the reason why we can hardly see traffic police in the street in america?a. traffic police are not very necessary because few cars break traffic rules.b. the traffic is very clear and there are few traffic jams and accidents in the street.c. there are so many cars in the street that the traffic police cant be seen.d. the effective traffic rules play an important part in the road safety.60. why is there a middle lane of turning left on the road? a. it is designed for the cars that want to turn left. b. it is very safe to drive there. c. it is very convenient for the traffic police to find the cars that break the rules. d. the cars that want to turn left can easily give a signal of turning left.61. which of the following statements is true according to the passage? a. in america, all cars in the crossing must stop when they meet the stop line. b. in america, any car cannot park in the streets in some residential areas. c. if people want to turn, they can obey the guide of the traffic police. d. there are more traffic jams in china.62. whats the best title for the passage? a. american traffic rules b. differences in traffic rules between china and america c. traffic jams in america d. american people who obey traffic rulescan english saying goes: “all work and no play makes jack a dull boy.” that means we should relax after a days hard work or well be unhealthy.many students know that if they want to get ideal jobs with good salaries, they must do well in high school so they can enter good universities. therefore, they spend all day studying without time to relax.however, not all students can go to top universities even if they work very hard. students are pressurized by parents and teachers who are just concerned about their studies and exam scores while ignoring their hobbies and individual differences. as a result, students are forces to work harder and harder. furthermore, there is pressure coming from students themselves. they realize they have a slim chance of getting into a top university as competition is fierce. so, they put a lot of stress on themselves and stay in a nervous state day after day. if they keep it up, theyll suffer illnesses; both psychological and physical. what students need is relaxation. this doesnt mean that they should give up their ambitions and stop studying hard. it means “work while you work, play while you play”. if you can do this, you will improve your health greatly. youll feel yourself suddenly fresh, just like recovering from a terrible illness. youll find that your studies are not a burden(负担) anymore.63. the underlined part in the first paragraph might mean all the following except_.a. too much work may bring trouble to anyone b. overwork without rest is sure to make one foolishc. jack becomes dull because he works too much d. anyone who doesnt work will break down64. what trouble have both the parents and teachers brought to the students?a. they dont know how to let the students relax.b. they give too much burden for them to bear.c. they dont love those who work the hardest.d. they fail to understand what the students need most.65. what causes the student pressure from themselves?a. that they dont know how to get top universities.b. that they want to relax but have no chance.c. that they fail to relax themselves during their work.d. that they think too much about the result of their work.66. what is the passage mainly about?a. what to do to relax yourself.b. the serous situation for the poor students.c. some problems caused by the misunderstanding of learning.d. how to be a healthy and successful learner.dno one knows why we sleep, but its certain that we need to. people who are prevented from sleeping begin to suffer obvious effects after a few daysthey think less clearly, and they fall asleep during the working hours; some may have hallucinations(幻觉).there are no rules about sleep. generally speaking, grown-ups sleep about 7 and a half hours each night and probably more than 60 per cent get between seven and eight hours. but perhaps eight per cent are quite happy with 5 hours or less, and four per cent or so find that they want ten hours or more. if you feel all right, youre probably getting enough sleep. the important thing is not to worry how much other people gettheir needs may be different. exercise doesnt seem to increase the need for sleepoffice workers, for example, sleep for about as long as people doing physically active work.children sleep more than grown-upsperhaps 14 to 18 hours soon after birth, going down to grown-up levels by early teenage. sleep patterns also tend(倾向) to be different in the elderly, who may sleep less at night than they did when younger, find sleep getting more broken, and often make it a rule to sleep during the daytime.67. according to the passage, some people are unable to think clearly because _ .a. they have hallucinationsb. they feel sleepy during the working hoursc. they dont have enough sleepd. they are certain to be kept from going to bed68. which of the following is true?a. all grown-ups must have at least eight-hour sleep.b. most of grown-ups sleep for seven or eight hours.c. quite a few people need only 5 hours or less for them to sleep.d. no grown-ups sleep more than ten hours.69. whether you have got enough sleep is judged by_.a. how many hours you have sleptb. how many hours you need to sleepc. whether you do exercise and physical workd. whether you feel fresh and energetic70. according to the passage, a boy of 14 years old sleeps_.a. as long hours as a grown-upb. much longer hours than a grown-upc. for 14 hours each night d. for less than 8 hours per night第二节(共5小题；每小题2.5分，满分12.5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,写在答题纸相应的位置。选项中有两项为多余选项。how to improve your perseverance(毅力)if youre familiar with the story of the hare (野兔) and the tortoise（乌龟）, you know
