It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. 3 we persist in this practice, gradually well learn how to express 4 in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 5 (difficult). In the first place 6 often happens that we have trouble finding appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there are many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese. And it is extremely hard for us to put them into English 7 (proper).As far as I 8 (concern), my suggestion is that we should always have a notebook and a Chinese-English dictionary 9 easy reach. Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook 10 then consult our dictionary. We can also turn to our English teacher for help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is of great use to keep a diary in English for the development of our writing skills.第二节 完形填空 （共15小题，每小题2分，满分30分）阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的A、B、C、和D四个选项中，选出可以填人空白处的最佳选项。On a cold winter day, I waited in line to see my hero, Jack Canfield, the author of The Success Principles.During his talk, Jack 11 his wallet, pulled out a hundred-dollar bill, and said, “Who wants this?” 12 shot up in the audience; people leaned forward to see whom Jack would choose. But I jumped up, ran up the 13 to the stage, and grabbed the bill. As I was launching myself in the air, thoughts raced through my mind was I about to be humiliated (羞辱) in front of 800 people? Would they 14 security guards and take me from the stage? 15 my desire for brave action was louder than any doubtful voice.As I got the bill from his hand, he said, “Thats it! We cant wait for the 16 to come to us. We must take action to 17 what we want!”After his talk, I managed to meet Jack and bravely asked for his 18 email address. Over the next months, I sent him emails 19 my vision and dreams with him. He kindly emailed back lots of encouragement. But my life got busy with other things.

According to classroom teachers, elementary and middle school students who stay up late exhibit more learning and attention problems. This has been shown by Brown Medical School and Bradley Hospital research.In the study, teachers were not told the amount of sleep students received when completing weekly performance reports, yet they rated the students who had received eight hours or less as having the most trouble recalling all the material, learning new lessons and completing high-quality work. Teachers also reported that these students had more difficulty paying attention.The experiment is the first to ask teachers to report on the effects of sleep deficiency on children. Just staying up late can cause increased academic difficulty and attention problems for otherwise healthy, well-functioning kids, said Garharn Forlone, the studys leading author. So the results provide professionals and parents with a clear message: when a child is having learning and attention problems, the issue of sleep has to be taken into consideration. “If we dont ask about sleep, and try to improve sleep patterns in kids struggling academically, then we arent doing our job,” Forlone said. For parents, he said, the message is simple: “getting kids to bed on time is as important as getting them to school on time”.( ) 26.What were teachers instructed to do in the experiment?A. To monitor students sleep patterns.B. To help students concentrate in class.C. To record students weekly performance.D. To ask students to complete a sleep report.( ) 27.The underlined word “deficiency” here means _.A. shortageB. problemC. troubleD. weakness( ) 28.What problem arises in class due to students lack of sleep?A. Poorer health.B. Being less attentive.C. Loss of motivation. D. improper behavior.( ) 29.According to this passage, parents should _.A. make sure their children are always punctual for schoolB. ensure that their children grow up in a healthy environmentC. help their children accomplish high-quality workD. see to it that their children have enough sleep( ) 30.This passage is mainly about _.A. the importance of the students sleepB. the importance of the way to sleepC. the importance of the teachers sleepD. the importance of being at school on timeB“The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself; to be conquered by himself is, of all things, the most shameful,” says Plato. Self-control is at the root of all the advantages. Let a man give in to his impulses (冲动) and feelings, and from that moment he gives up his moral freedom.A single angry word has lost many friends. When Socrates found in himself any temper or anger, he would check it by speaking low in order to control himself. If you are conscious of being angry, keep your mouth shut so that you can hold back rising anger. Many a person has dropped dead in great anger. Fits of anger bring fits of disease. “Whoever the gods would destroy they first make them mad.” “Keep cool,” says Webster, “anger is not argument.” “Be calm in arguing,” says George Herbert, “for fierceness (狂怒) makes error a fault.”To be angry with a weak man is to prove that you are not strong yourself. “Anger,” says Pythagoras, “begins with foolishness and ends with regret.” You must measure the strength of a man by the power of the feelings he conquers, not by the power of those which conquer him.Self-control is mans last and greatest victory.If a man lacks self-control he seems to lack everything. Without it he can have no patience, no power to govern himself; he can have no self-confidence, for he will always be controlled by his strongest feeling. If he lacks self-control, the very backbone and nerve of character are lacking too.( ) 31.Whats the main idea of the passage?A. Self- control is important for a man.B. We should learn to be strong.C. A man who keeps cool wont lose any game.D. The great heroes in history knew how to control themselves.( ) 32.What does the underlined sentence in Paragraph 2 mean?A. If you are mad, the gods will kill you.B. If you lose your temper first, gods will kill you first.C. If you cant control yourself, you will be crazy.D. If the gods want to kill you, they will make you mad first.( ) 33.Which of the following is NOT true, according to passage?A. The first and best of victories for a man is to conquer himself.B. You will make a small mistake serious if you dont keep cool.C. You must measure a mans strength by the power of the feelings which conquer him.D. Anger begins with foolishness and ends with regret.( ) 34.Which of the following cant help you avoid anger, according to the passage?A. Being calm in arguing.B. Checking your temper or anger by speaking low.C. Keeping your mouth shut.D. Trying to make the other angry first.( ) 35.The passage is most likely to be found in _?A. A scientific journal.B. A health magazineC. A news report.D. An encyclopediaCCompost is used by farmers around the world to make their soil richer and to get better quality crops. But what exactly is compost?Compost is formed by plant or animal wastes that are mixed together so that they break down into simpler elements. Plants are full of gases from the air, such as carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, as well as many minerals from the soil. After the end of a harvest, farmers often take the unused parts of their crops and combine them in large piles called “compost piles”. Animal waste is sometimes added to the piles as well, and water is always added, to help the piles begin to decay, or break down. Insects, worms and bacteria work together with oxygen to change the materials into a mixture rich in nutrients. After the compost is well-decayed, it can be spread over fields to enrich the soil with nutrients good for the crops.Farmers must be careful of several things when creating good compost. Water is necessary, but if there is too much the compost will be no good. In addition, the compost piles must not be too hot or too cold; 30 - 37C is the best temperature. Farmers often cool the piles by turning them over, a process which also helps the decaying process by adding more oxygen to the compost. A thin layer of soil over the piles is also very necessary in some areas, to prevent rats or other small animals from eating the compost.( ) 36.Compost can enrich the soil because _.A. it is made up of a mixture of plantsB. it brings useful materials back to the plantsC. it is made by being attacked by bacteriaD. animal waste is added to it( ) 37.The main purpose of the passage is _.A. to show how plants can growB. to tell us the way to make compostC. to tell us to protect the environmentD. to tell us an environmentally friendly way to enrich the soil( ) 38.We can infer from the passage that _.A. compost is not easy to makeB. compost can make soil richC. compost is a kind of organic fertilizerD. compost can prevent pollution( ) 39.Which of the following statements is not true?A. When we make compost, we should turn over the compost pile often.B. Compost supplies food not only to plants but also to many animals.C. Turning over the compost pile will make the organism in it grow well.D. When we make compost, we should control the water amount.( ) 40.Which is the best title for the passage?A. A way to better soil.B. A kind of fertilizer.C. How to make compost.D.
