The light from the screens makes their young faces pretty and lively. Thats what happens every day at my school in the US. We useiPads in class.I felt surprised and excited when I got an iPad the first day I arrived at the school. But it was not free. I spent about $100 to rent (租) it for three years.Every iPad at my school has a special learning system ( 系统) called Focus. Teachers put their teaching materials like textbooks and PPTs on it. When we have classes, we enter the system and download the materials with our iPads.It makes the classes interesting and efficient (高效的). For example, a few weeks ago, we learned about London in the UK. Our teacher prepared a video in which we saw many places of interest in London. We could not only watch the video, but also see the words at the same time.Because of the video, I know more about the city.We also do our homework with iPads. We can know how well we do our homework right after we submit (提交) our homework.However, there are still some bad points about learning with iPads. Some of my classmates play games or surf the Internet in class.I believe the key to use iPads well is to have good self-control, isnt it?54. The underlined word “Focus” is.A. the name of the iPad at schoolB. PPTs and videosC. teachers teaching materialsD. a special learning system55. When students are learning with iPads, they should not.A. play gamesB. watch some videosC. download the materialsD. submit the homework56. According to the example in Paragraph 4, we learn that.A. students dont like to use iPads in classB. iPads are not useful when having classesC. students use iPads to watch videos every classD. iPads make the classes interesting and efficient57. What does the writer think of using iPads in school?A. Students should use iPads as often as possible.B. To use iPads in school is very bad for students eyes.C. Students should have good self-control when using iPads.D. All students should use iPads to surf the Internet in classCHave you ever heard the old saying, “Never judge a book by its cover”?This is a good rule to follow when trying to judge the intelligence(智力）of others.Some people have minds that stand out only in certain situations. A young man with anunusual gift in creative writing may find himself speechless in the presence of a pretty girl. He fumbles for (摸索）words and talks in a halting (踌躇的）manner. But dont make the mistake of thinking him stupid. With a pen and paper, he can express himself eloquently (雄辩地,有说服力 地).Other people may fool you into overestimating (过高估计)their intelligence by putting up a good front(举止). A student who listens attentively and takes notes is bound to make a favorable impression on his teachers. But when it comes to exams, he may score near the bottom of the class.It all boils down to thisyou cant judge someone by appearances. The only way to determine a persons intelligence is to get to know him. Then you can observe(观察） how he reacts to different situations. The more situations you observe, the more accurate(正确的) yourjudgement is likely to be.58. The main idea of this passage is. A.dont judge a book by its coverB. dont judge a persons intelligence by appearancesC. dont make the mistakes of thinking the young man stupid D.people may fool you by putting up a good front59. The young man mentioned in the passage.A. was stupidB.was a good studentC.was a talented writerD. was successful with girls60. According to the passage, true knowledge of a persons intelligence comes from. A.the testimony of his teachersB.the grades he gets in schoolC.how he behaves in different situations D.his outward appearance61. The passage suggests that in judging a persons intelligence we should. A.use caution (小心）B.be creativeC. rely on intuition (直觉）D.give him an IQ testD. A huge underground ocean in Taklamakan DesertD“Go for it!” The expression “Go for it!” is a way of encouraging someone to try something. “Go for it!” means you should not worry about failure or be too careful. You should take achance and be brave. “Go for it!” gets its name from football. But it is not the football played in most countries such as England, France or Japan, but the kind of football played in the United States and Canada. One of the most exciting times in football comes when a team has failed,after three tries, to move the ball forward ten yards. The team must make a very important decision. The conservative (保守的) choice is to kick the ball and accept temporary defeat (暂时 的失败) in order to get a good position for your team the next time it gets the ball. The moreexciting choice, however, is to try a fourth and final time to get the remaining yards needed.People now are certain to shout their advice. Some will shout, “Kick the ball!” But others will encourage the team to take a chance. “Go for it!” they will shout loudly.In the 1980s, people began using this expression in many kinds of situations to encourage someone to act bravely. There is no guarantee ( 保 障 ) that the action you “Go for it!” will succeed. But that is the chance you take when you decide to go for it. You put your fears behind.You choose courage over safety. You hold your breath and go for it.62. What does “Go for it!” mean?A. You should go straight on.B. You should take a chance and be brave.C. You should go to school and ask teachers for help.D. You should be very careful.63. According to the passage, when we decide to go for it, we only consider.A. safetyB. actionC. resultD. situation64. In which of the following situations should we use the expression “Go for it!” now?A. We decide to avoid trouble or danger for the future.B. We try to improve our English for better education.C. We need to make a quick decision at the last momentD. We have to make a choice between success and failure.65. The writer makes his idea clear by.A. giving explanations (解释)B. making comparisons (比较)C. telling storiesD. using famous peoples words第 II 卷（选择题 60 分） 五、词汇运用（共 10 小题;每小题 1 分,计 10 分）根据句子意思.用括号中所给汉语提示或英语单词的适当形式填空。在标有题号的横线上,写出空缺处所填单词的正确形式。（每空一词）66.

My name is Robin. I live in a town in the east of Shanghai. Over the last twenty years, great changes have taken place here.In the past, my hometown was only a small village. There were no tall buildings. But now more and more tall buildings appear and the roads get wider. My father used to work in a small post office. We kept in touch with each other mainly by sending letters. Now we can use telephones, mobile phones, the Internet to contact each other. The world becomes smaller and smaller.We can find our life more comfortable. We live in big flats. We enjoy milk, vegetables, fruit and meat for meals. We can also enjoy wonderful films and listen to music with MP5 players or mobile phones. In the past, we couldnt enjoy life like this.On the other hand, pollution has become a serious problem in our daily life. In the past, there were not many factories. So the water was clean and the air was fresh. However, the water and the air arent clean any more, because too many factories have polluted them. The government has taken action to reduce the pollution. Now things have been better.I am sure my hometown will be more and more beautiful. 76in Robins Life Robin lives in a town in the77part of Shanghai.The town was a small78twenty years ago.There were no tall buildings and79roads.In the pastPeople80letters to keep in touch with each other.The water and the air were clean because of fewer81.Life is more83.
