In those days, paper was made from strips of the papyrus plant. Modern paper-making began in China about two thousand years ago. This process produced paper from cloth, straw, wood or the bark of trees. The raw materials are struck over and over until they become loose. Then they are mixed with water. After the water has been removed, the flat, thin form remaining is permitted to dry. This becomes a sheet of paper.Large machines started to be used for making paper near the end of the sixteenth century. Today, paper-making is a big business. But it is still possible to make paper by hand, since the steps are the same as using big machines.You should choose paper with small amounts of printing. Old envelopes are good for this reason. Colored paper also can be used, as well as small amounts of newspaper. Small pieces of rags or cloth can be added. These should be cut into pieces about five centimeters by five centimeters.Everything is placed in a container, covered with water and brought to a boil. It is mixed for about two hours with some common chemicals and then allowed to cool. Then it is left until most of the water dries up. The substance left, called pulp, can be stored until you are ready to make paper.When you are ready, the pulp is mixed with water again. Then the pulp is poured into a mold. The mold is made of small squares of wire that hold the shape and thickness of the paper. To help dry the paper, the mold lets the water flow through the small wire squares.After several more drying steps, the paper is carefully lifted back from the mold. It is now strong enough to be touched. The paper is smoothed and pressed to remove trapped air. You can use a common electric iron used for pressing clothes.26.According to this passage, the earliest paper was made by _D_.A. Chinese people B. Roman peopleC. Indian people D. Egyptian people 27.

Summer school used to be seen mainly as a place for high school students to repeat classes they failed. But summer programs have expanded. Students often go to summer school so they can ease their class load during the school year. Or, it might give them more freedom to choose the classes they want during the regular term. Summer school students do the same amount of work as if they took the class during the school year. But they do it in a much shorter timejust one to two months. They generally attend school for three to four hours every morning, five days a week. Another choice for many students is to take classes online. Students work by computer at home or wherever they have an Internet connection. They could even be traveling with their families. However, some online classes require students to come to a classroom to take tests. Students may also have to take part in group discussions with the teacher online. And there may be a required number of hours to spend logged on each day. Yet there may also be freedom to do the work anytime, day or night.31.

Anxiety is almost impossible to define in a simple sentence. It is associated with feelings of uneasiness, frustration, self-doubt, apprehension(恐惧), or worry. Scovel defined anxiety as “state of apprehension, or vague fear” We all know what anxiety is and we all have experienced feelings of anxiousness. How does this construct relate to second language learning? Any complex task we undertake can have elements of anxiety in it, aspects in which we doubt our own abilities and wonder if we will indeed succeed. Second language learning is no exception to a long list of complex tasks that are susceptible(易受感染的) to our human anxieties. The research on anxiety suggests that, like self-esteem, anxiety can be experienced at various levels. At the deepest, or global level, trait anxiety is a more permanent predisposition(倾向) to be anxious. Some people are predictably and generally anxious about many things. At a more momentary, or situational level, state anxiety is experienced in relation to some particular event or act. As we learned in the case of self-esteem, then, it is important in a classroom for a teacher to try to determine whether a students anxiety stems from a more global trait or whether it comes from a particular situation at the moment. Trait anxiety, because of its global and somewhat ambiguously defined nature, has not proved to be useful in predicting second language achievement. However, recent research on foreign language anxiety, as it has come to be known, focuses more specifically on the situational nature of state anxiety.36. The passage mainly talks about _A_.A. anxiety B. inhibition C. risk-taking D. self-esteem37. The terms “self-esteem”, “inhibition”, “risk-taking” and “anxiety” are mentioned as _B_ in foreign language learning. A. susceptible factors B. affective factors C. apprehensive factors D. predispositional factors38. According to the passage, all of the following are true EXCEPT that _D_. A. it is difficult to define anxiety in a simple sentence B. we all have experienced feelings of anxiousness in our life C. second language learning will unexceptionally arouse our anxiety D. trait anxiety is a more momentary predisposition while state anxiety is more permanent39. The word “construct” in Paragraph 1 probably means _A_. A. concept B. erection C. building D. structure40. How many different kinds of anxiety are suggested by the research? B A. One. B. Two. C. Three. D. Four.三、完形填空（共10小题；每小题1分，共10分）阅读下面短文，从短文后所给各题的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出可以填入空白处的最佳选项，并在答题卡上将该项涂黑。These days, most people in Britain and the US do not wear very 41 clothes.

See how the lilies of the field grow? They do not labor or spin.”In my heart, I aspire to be like those lilies. But in my head, I feel a need to hoard.
