It made school difficult for me. When everyone else in the class was focusing on tasks, I could not.In my first literature class, Mrs. Smith asked us to read a story and then write on it, all within 45 minutes. I raised my hand right away and said, “Mrs. Smith, you see, the doctor said I have attention problems. I might not be able to do it.”She glanced down at me through her glasses, “you are no different from your classmates, young man.”I tried, but I didnt finish the reading when the bell rang. I had to take it home.In the quietness of my bedroom, the story suddenly all became clear to me. It was about a blind person, Louis Braille. He lived in a time when the blind couldnt get much education. But Louis didnt give up. Instead, he invented a reading system of raised dots (点), which opened up a whole new world of knowledge to the blind.Wasnt I the “blind” in my class, being made to learn like the “sighted” students? My thoughts spilled out and my pen started to dance. I completed the task within 40 minutes. Indeed, I was no different from others; I just needed a quieter place. If Louis could find his way out of his problems, why should I ever give up?I didnt expect anything when I handed in my paper to Mrs. Smith, so it was quite a surprise when it came back to me the next day with an “A” on it. At the bottom of the paper were these words: “ See what you can do when you keep trying?”4The author didnt finish the reading in class because .AHe was new to the classBHe was tired of literatureCHe had an attention disorderDHe wanted to take the task home5What do we know about Louis Braille from the passage?AHe made a great invention.BHe had good sight.CHe gave up reading.DHe learned a lot from school.6What was Mrs. Smiths attitude to the author at the end of the story?AAngry. BImpatient.CSympathetic. DEncouraging.7What is the main idea of the passage?AThe disabled should be treated with respect.BA teacher can open up a new world to students.CEveryone needs a hand when faced with challenges.DOne can find his way out of difficulties with efforts.CWith all the responsibilities（责任） we face in our daily lives, its often hard to get a good nights rest. The problem really lies in the stress that many of us experience. Stress robs you of the rest that you need by putting you in a state of pressure and worry. There are, of course, some methods that can help you relax, but only a few of them give you a good nights sleep. One of them is soothing (舒缓的)music for sleep.Sleep music is not just for encouraging relaxation, it also can be used for various situations. Want to have a relaxing evening by yourself? Practice yoga in a comfortable environment? Think over something important? Then put on your favorite sleep music. Sleep music is not only fit for adults, but has also been known to be good for children. Soothing music helps your children go to sleep more easily.Massage therapists (按摩治疗师)can also benefit from using soothing music for sleep in their clinics(诊所). This allows clients（客户） to benefit more from the session. For example, massage therapists can provide the relaxation of the body through their techniques, and the music helps clients relax their minds, helping them to relax deeper and feel more refreshed after the session.Youll never run out as there are some artists and companies that make sleep music. Choosing the right music is important as well. Like most music that you can find and buy in stores, sleep music has different styles, sounds, and subjects. There are those that are specifically for relaxation, while some are intended to help you go to sleep.The great thing about sleep music is that it will be something youll be using for months, even years to come. If you want a deeper relaxation and better sleep, give some soothing music for sleep a try.8 According to the text, people often dont sleep well because _.A. they often hear heavy musicB. they have too much stressC. they are very tiredD. they have little time to relax9We can learn from the text that _.A. sleep music is first used in massageB. all the sleep music is intended to help people to go to sleepC. clients during massage use sleep music to help them go to sleepD. clients will feel more refreshed after the massage using sleep music10 In the last paragraph, people are advised to_.A. have a rest to reduce the stressB. try some sleep music to relax and have a good sleepC. do a massage by sleep musicD. choose a suitable sleep music11 The text is written mainly for those_.A. who stay up lateB. who often do massageC. who want to get a good sleepD. who like to listen to sleep music D Nowadays women appear to have a positive image（形象） of themselves as safer drivers than men.In a survey done for insurer MetLife, 51% of women said they drive more safely. The evidence is on their side: Men are 3.4 times more likely than women to get a ticket for careless driving and 3.1 times as likely to be punished for drunk driving. “Women are on average less aggressive（有攻击性的） and more law abiding (守法的) drivers, which leads to fewer accidents,” the report says. However, not all male drivers share the same opinion. Of the men surveyed by MetLife, 39% claimed male drivers were safer. The findings did back them upon one point: automotive knowledge. The report showed that more men are familiar with current safety equipment such as electronic stability control，which helps prevent rollover accidents.Auto safety unavoidably matters to money. Insurance companies focus on what classes of drivers have the lowest dollar amounts of claims, and for now, that mainly includes women. In general, women pay about 9% less for auto insurance than men. A study by the website Insweb also showed that auto insurance rates are lower for women in most states. Among individual states, women get the greatest, advantage in Wyoming (where they pay 20% less), South Dakota and Washington, D.C, where their insurance costs are 16% lower.“More than 11,900 male drivers died in US traffic accidents in 2009，compared with just under 4,900 women drivers” according to the study. “Based on miles traveled, men died at a rate of 2.5 deaths per 100 million miles traveled, vs.1.7 deaths for women.”12According to the study，female drivers _.A. are more aggressive while drivingB. are more interested in auto knowledgeC. are more likely to stick to driving lawsD. are more familiar with safety equipment13Insurance companies focus on female driver clients probably because they_.A. cause more accidents on the roadB. pay more money to the insurance companiesC. take the most part of the insurance clientsD. have the lowest amount of money on insurance claims来源:14We can infer from the passage that_.A. men are 3.1 times more likely to get tickets than womenB. all women in the USA pay the same for their auto insuranceC. more female drivers die every year than male driversD. women are generally safer drivers than the opposite gender15The writer mainly develops paragraphs by_.A. giving examplesB. making comparisonsC. drawing a conclusionD. presenting an argument二、七选五根据短文内容，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。At some point in your life, you will need to ask someone for a favor(帮助), whether its at your workplace, at home or in a social setting. If you need a guy to help you with something, there are ways to approach him that will help you ask for that favor.Find the right guy to ask for a favor. 16 .For example, if you need someone to look after your house while you are away for a month, dont select a guy who has a wife and kids and cant possibly leave them to do you the favor. 17 .Even if its a small favor, try to find a place that has some privacy(私密性). This is especially important if youre asking for a favor that you dont want someone else to hear, such as borrowing money from him.Use special words to set the table so that he knows youre in need. 18Or words such as “I really need your help” are OK. These words give him the chance to understand that he can be of help.Ask for help in a clear way that expresses what you need, the reason why you need it, and more importantly, the parameters(限定因素) of the favor. For example, if youre asking him to take you to the airport, tell him when you need him to arrive. If youre borrowing money from him, say the amount and the reason why you need the money. 19Ask for help in such a way that you give him the chance to refuse. 20If you dont give him that choice, he may feel as if its something he has to do instead of something he wants to do.A. Find the right place to ask him.B. Be a kind person who always helps others.C. The guy must have the ability to help you.D. Besides, you should tell him when you will give it back.E. You can say, “Im really in trouble. Can you help me?”F. It can be difficult to find the right words to tell what you need.G. Make it clear that you completely understand if he cant help you.三、完形填空阅读下面短文， 从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C和D）中，选出最佳选项。My family often had a get-together with friends in my childhood.

Some students preferred to consider majors first so that they can learn which they are interested in. This will make it possible for them to take their most favorite job in the future. Therefore, those who think differently believe that the learning environment is important and graduates from a leading university is more likely to find good jobs.In my opinions, the best choice is a good major at a good university. If we cannot obtain all, the first thing to consider is a good major, because wherever they study, we can still achieve a lot in a certain field if we try our best.六、书面表达假设你是星光中学的李华，将参加主题为Lets Ride Bicycles的英语演讲比赛。请撰写一份演讲稿，主要内容包括：1目前汽车带来的空气污染和交通堵塞等问题；2骑自行车的益处，如：节能环保、有利健康等。参考词汇：低碳生活（low-carbon life）；节能（energy saving）注意：1词数：100词左右； 2演讲稿开头和结尾已给出，该部分不计入总词数。Good morning, everyone,I am Li Hua from Xingguang Middle School.
