gordon decided to make a research.he found an old craftsman who was glad to teach him the basic skills. first, gordon takes an old bottle. then he puts in a layer of paint, carefully shaped and painted to look like the sea. next, he builds the ship. to get the ship through the neck of the bottle, gordon folds(折叠) down the masts(桅杆). once the ship is inside the bottle, he takes a long, thin tool to raise the masts.gordon has completed more than one hundred models. his aim is to build up aircraft carriers(航空母舰), buses, cars, airplanes, houses, and many other kinds of models inside the bottles. this will be more challenging(挑战), as he will have to build actually inside the bottle. his hobby certainly needs time, patience and a steady (平稳的)hand. 50. gordon became interested in _. a. sailing a ship in the seab. putting a ship in a bottle c. collecting old sailing shipsd. going on a holiday by ship51. which of the following is the second step according to the third paragraph? 52. what can we learn from the passage? a. gordon got the idea from a show in canada. b. gordon learnt the basic skills from a seaman. c. gordon has made less than 100 models so far. d. gordon will use a smaller bottle in the future.cif english means endless new words, difficult grammar and sometimes strange pronunciation, you are wrong. havent you noticed that you have become cleverer since you started to learn a language?according to a new study by a british university, learning a second language can lead to an increase in your brain power. researchers found that learning other languages changes grey matter. it is similar to the way that exercise builds muscles(肌肉).a team led by dr. andrea mechelli, from university college london, took a group of britons who only spoke english. they were compared with a group of “early bilinguals” who had learnt a second language before the age of five, as well as a number of later learners.scans(扫描) showed that grey matter density(密度) in the brain was greater in bilinguals than in people without a second language. but the longer a person waited before mastering a new language, the smaller the difference.“our findings suggest that the structure(结构) of the brain is changed by the experience of learning a second language,” said the scientists. it means that the change itself increase the ability to learn.professor dylan vauhan jones of the university of wales has researched the link between the bilingualism and maths skills. “having two languages gives you two windows on the world and makes the brain more flexible(灵活的), ” he said. “you are going beyond language and have a better understanding of different ideas.”the findings were matched in a study of native italian speakers who had learned english as a second language between the ages of two and 34. reading, writing, and comprehension were all tested. the results showed that the younger they started to learn, the better. “studying a language means you get an entrance to another world,” explained the scientists.53. what does the writer talk about in the passage? a. useful methods must be used in language learning. b. we should keep learning a second language abroad.c. language can help us communicate with each other. d. second language learning can improve our mind.54. what does the underlined phrase “grey matter” refer to? a. the memory of the brain.b. our body language. c. a certain part of the brain.d. a kind of dark color.55. which of the following is true according to the passage?a. learning a second language can help us find a good job quickly. b. dr. mechelli made the experiment among three different groups.c. learning a second language is the same as studying other subjects. d. the earlier we learn a second language, the more money we pay.devery year a couple of things rise to the top of the “must have” list, becoming the seasons popular gifts. hundreds of people line up outside stores, hoping to buy the gifts. such gifts are examples of social epidemics(流行病)-cases when many people do the same thing at the same time. why do we end up with the same presents? it could be that the popular gifts are simply better than the rest. but more likely, a gifts popularity is random(任意的).peoples shopping behavior is not independent. our behavior depends on the behavior of those around us. this influences both what people talk about and what they buy. conversations are often driven to the common ground, so we talk about celebrities (like lady gaga), the weather or the local sports team. when it comes to the presents we are buying, we tend(倾向于) to bring up the things we think others have heard of.social influence leads us to buy what other people buy. some scientists recently did an experiment. in the study, people visited a website where they could listen to songs and download them for free. some people were given information about what previous(先前的) site visitors had downloaded, and this led to convergence(趋同): people tended to download songs others had chosen. in addition, participants(参与者) in the experiment were divided into eight groups and could see the previous downloads only people of their own group. what the researchers found was powerful. across the separate groups, the songs that became “hits” were greatly different. the top song in one social world was a failure in another. why? well, if people imitate(模仿) others, then whatever gets an early advantage in popularity is likely to stand out.as with these “hit” songs, the popular gifts depend less on their qualities but more on human psychology(心理). so as you stand in long line trying to get whatever it is that everyone else seems to want this year, stop to realize that this may have less to do with the gift and more about our instincts(本能). and remember that whoever you are giving the present to may be just as happy with something else.56. whats the passage mainly about? a. our shopping behavior is influenced by our society. b. we should learn to depend on ourselves in our life. c. everyone should line up and buy the gifts in order. d. we should have to follow the rules in the market.57. what does the underlined word “celebrities” probably mean? a. peace.b. news.c. famous people.d. friendship.58. why does the writer show the experiment to us in the third paragraph? a. to tell us how to carry out an experiment carefully. b. to make us pay more attention to the achievements. c. to explain why people buy different kinds of gifts crazily. d. to show how social influence shapes common results.59. we can make a conclusion from the passage that_. a. the gift you offer may not be the favorite of its owner b. the price of all the gifts will be raised in a short time c. we must make sure there is a trade mark on the gift d. more and more gifts may be returned to the stores soon 四、阅读短文，根据短文内容，从短文后的五个选项中，选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有一项为多余选项。joanne rowling was born in england. she wrote her first story at the age of five or six. at school her favorite subject was english and she used to make up stories with her friends. when she left school, she studied in paris for a year to learn french. 60 however, most of all she wanted to write! in 1992, she left england to go to portugal(葡萄牙) to teach english. while she was there she got married to a journalist and had a daughter. a few years later, joanne returned to live in scotland. 61 while she was there, she finished her story about harry potter, a young boy who is a wizard(术士). then one day, in 1997, she found a publisher(出版商). she was very excited and happy! to her surprise, her book was sold in millions! it won many prizes! 62 everybody wanted to read about harry potter. her stories have been translated into many languages. 63 joanne rowling has written several more books about harry potter and all of them have sold millions of copies. some of these later books are also being made into films.a. so joanne became very rich and famous.b. it took her over one year to write her first book.c. after university, she experienced all sorts of different jobs.d. and they can now be read all over the world.e. she had very little money and lived in a very small flat.五、阅读短文，根据短文内容回答问题。street art is spreading quickly all over the world. you can find it on building, sidewalks and street signs from tokyo to paris.it is said that the movement(运动) began in new york in the 1960s. young adults would use paint in special cans to put their words and other pictures on walls and train cars around the city. one well-known street artist(艺术家) is swoon. she cuts out paper pictures of people and puts them on walls. swoon didnt start her career(生涯) as a street artist. she studied art but, as time went on, got bored with the works she saw in museums and galleries(美术馆). the people enjoyed swoons strong and interesting style.street artists do their work for a reason. some of them choose street art because it is closer to the people. some artists try to express their political opinions in their works.advertising companies also use street art in their advertisements. the new york department store saks fifth avenue recently used a street artists design for their shop windows and shopping bags.in todays world, artists can show their pictures to the people all over the world on the internet. many people, however, say that seeing a picture on the internet is never as good as seeing it live. street art lives with the energy and life of a big city. there it will continue to change and grow.64. did street art start from paris?65. where did the street artists paint at the beginning?66. what did people think of swoons street art?67. how did the department store use street art?68. what does the writer mainly talk about in the last paragraph?书面表达六、完成句子根据中文意思完成句子。69. 别吸烟，它对我们的健康有害。 dont smoke. its _ our health.70. 放学后，他们正忙于做扫除。 they are _some cleaning after school.71. 她的身体太虚弱了，搬不动那个箱子。 she was _the heavy box.72. 一有人求助，他就会伸出援手。 he will give a hand _ help.73. 重要的是每当阅读遇到新单词时，我们应设法猜测其词义而不去查字典。 _when we come across a new word in reading.七、文段表达74. 根据中文提示和英文书信内容，写一封意思连贯、符合逻辑、不少于60个词的回信，信的开头和结尾已给出，其词数不计入所完成的回信内。请不要写出你的校名和姓名。 假设你叫张华，美国中学生杰克是你的网友，你们约好今年暑假期间他要来你家生活、学习，你收到了他的电子邮件。请给杰克写一个回复，回答他的问题，并谈谈你自己的美好愿望。hi! zhang hua, im going to fly to china and live with you during this summer holiday. i think its a good chance for me to learn chinese from you. but i dont know if i can get used to the life at your home. though chinese food is very delicious, its hard for me to cook a meal on my own. can you give me some help?
