be generous; be understanding. honesty is where a good friendship starts. friends must be able to trust one another. if you do not tell the truth, people usually find out. if a friend finds out that you havent been honest you may lose your friends trust. good friends always count on one another to speak and act honestly.generosity means sharing and sharing makes a friendship grow. you do not have to give your lunch money on your clothes of course. instead you have to learn how to share things you enjoy, like your hobbies and your interest. naturally you will want to share your ideas and feelings. these can be very valuable to a friend. they tell your friend what is important to you. by sharing them you help your friend know you better. sooner or later every one needs understanding and help with a problem. something may go wrong at school. talking about the problem can make it easier to solve. turning to a friend can be a first step in solving the problem. so to be a friend you must listen and understand. you must try to put yourself in your friends place so you can understand the problem better. no two friendships are ever exactly alike. but all true friendships have three things in common. if you plan to keep your friends, you must practise honesty, generosity, and understanding.8some friendships dont last very long because _.d the arts, especially music, should be part of every schools lessons at every grade level. students would be much smarter if they had some musical experience. they could improve their classroom skills, like paying attention and following directions. people develop all these skills when they learn music. making music also lets children use their imagination. it provides students with a chance to try out their own ideas. music not only makes children better students, but also gives them something positive to do. in a music program, children can be part of a band instead of joining a gang (团伙). parents can enjoy listening to their childrens music instead of seeing them glued to a computer or tv screen. in a school band, students get to be part of a team. they can get along well with old friends and make new friends through music. music builds self-confidence, too. it gives children a sense of achievement and success. making music is something for them to be proud of, and it lets kids practice performing in front of an audience. music gives children an opportunity for self-expression, and that helps develop their self-confidence. once again, music is important because it can make children better students, give them something positive to do, and build their character. that is why music should be offered in every single grade in every school.12according to the passage, music could make students smarter by _.a. improving their classroom skills and paying attentionb. improving their classroom skills and imaginationc. improving their attention, direction and imaginationd. learning music, making music and trying out their own ideas13what does the underlined phrase glued to in the second paragraph mean?a. unwilling to turn onb. always lookingc. unwilling to leaved. always playing14the third paragraph mainly tells us that music could _.a. give children self-expression and self-confidenceb. bring to children achievement and successc. give children something to be proud ofd. develop childrens self-confidence15whats the best title of this passage？a. music is a must as a course at schoolb. music builds childrens self-confidencec. music makes students much smarterd. learning music and making music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 you believe you have failed, then you have. if you believe you dont have the ability to succeed, then you dont. _16_the moment you decide to give up or to stop working toward your goals, failure is born._17_ most people give themselves an out without even realizing it. they are willing to work hard on reaching their goals, but only until the going gets too rough or their energy dies down. dont do that! _18_ never quit, never admit failure, and never lose heart. dont believe in a clear finish line for goals. its a good idea to set a general timeline(时间表), but remember that something will be beyond your control. _19_if you lock yourself into a given timeline, you might make yourself feel like a failure! instead, get a general idea of when youd like your goal to be completed. then take it one day at a time and focus on making progress instead of reaching the finish line in as little time as possible. be sure that you dont see difficulties as failures.difficulties mean only one thing: its not time for your goal to be completed yet. thats it! it doesnt mean you failed; it doesnt mean you are weak; it doesnt mean youll never achieve your goals. _20_youve got to keep moving forward and find a way over, around, or through the difficulties.a. never give up on yourself.b. failure only exists in your own mind!c. thats exactly how failure makes us feel.d. it simply means you have not done enough yet.e. you can never say exactly when your goal will be reached.f. make up your mind to make your goal happen, no matter what!g. work hard towards your goal, and you will be likely to get good results.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） 阅读下列短文，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。 my friend michelle is blind, but youd never know it. she makes such good use of her other 21 , including her “sixth sense”, that she rarely gives the impression shes 22 anything.michelle looks after her children pretty much like the rest of us, 23 that she doesnt push too hard on them, 24 really benefit a lot from her relaxed attitude. she knows when to clean the house. she moves around so fast that often 25 dont realize shes blind. i 26 this the first time after my six-year-old daughter, kayla, went to play there. when kayla came home, she was very 27 about her day. she told me they had baked cookies, played games and done art projects. but she was 28 excited about her finger-painting project. “mom, guess what?” said kayla, all smiles. i learned how to 29 colors today! blue and red make purple, and yellow and blue make green! and michelle 30 with us. to my great 31 , my child had learnt about color from a blind friend! then kayla continued, “michelle told me my 32 showed joy, pride and a sense of accomplishment. she really 33 what i was doing!” kayla said she had never felt how good finger paints felt 34 michelle showed her how to paint without looking at her paper. i realized kayla didnt know that michelle was blind. it had just never 35 in conversation.when i told her, she was 36 for a moment. at first, she didnt believe me. “but mommy, michelle knew exactly what was in my picture!” kayla 37 . and i knew my child was 38 because michelle had listened to kayla describe her artwork. michelle had also heard kaylas 39 in her work,we were silent for a minute. then kayla said slowly, “you know, mommy, michelle really did see my picture. she just used my 40 .”indeed, she uses a special type of “vision” that all mothers have.21a. waysb. meansc. methodsd. senses22a. enjoyedb. foundc. missed d. lost23a. andb. exceptc. evend. but24a. whob. itc. shed. which25a. guestsb. familyc. childrend. friends26a. realized b. heardc. recognizedd. witnessed27a. excited b. sadc. satisfiedd. enjoyed28a. especially b. not soc. a littled. not at all29a. paintb. drawc. created. mix30a. stayedb. painted c. talkedd. played31a. excitement b. encouragement c. delightd. surprise32a. attitudeb. colorc. picture d. paper33a. touchedb. distinguishedc. saw d. understood34a. afterb. beforec. until d. when35a. referred to b. turned outc. come up d. talked about36a. curiousb. quiet c. puzzledd. worried37a. criedb. insisted c. complainedd. informed38a. right b. wrongc. worriedd. uncertain39a. shortcomings b. difficulties c. pride d. description40a. paperb. pensc. handsd. eyes 第ii卷第三部分 英语知识运用第二节 （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（不多于3个单词）或括号内单词的适当形式 some strange things were happening in the countryside of northeast hebei. the chickens and pigs were _41_nervous to eat. fish jumped out of ponds. the water in the wells_42_(rise) and fell. there were some deep _43_(crack) in the well walls. the water pipes in some buildings cracked and _44_（burst). then everything began to shake. a big natrual disaster, an earthquake, was coming. the greatest earthquake happened in tangshan in 1976. it was so serious _45_ one-third of the nation felt it.in fifteen terrible seconds the large city lay in ruins. everything in the city was destroyed . bricks covere
