My dream is to be an actor. Should I give history up?”Maybe you are right. After you leave school, its not necessary for you to understand everything. But please remember that at school, besides getting knowledge, you should pay attention to some other important things. First, try to find what you are most interested in. At school, you study many subjects. Try to find what you like and what you dont like. This may be helpful to you in the future. Second, maybe you dont like math and you want to drop it. But the logical thinking ability from math can help you solve some problems. At school, you should practice your brain by thinking.Third, you should believe in yourself. Maybe you learn French at school, but you dont need to speak French at all. But learning French can prove that you have the ability of learning languages. Suppose you go to France one day and find a good job well. At school I learned French well, and now I must be able to learn German. But if you have no confidence, what will happen? Try to challenge yourself as often as possible. I think many of us like playing computer games. When we fail in a game, we always want to try it again. Why? Because it is hard for us to get the highest mark. If we want to challenge ourselves, we must face more difficult things and make greater progress. 26.At school you should .A. stop learning the subjects you dont likeB. both get knowledge and improve your abilityC. pay more attention to math and FrenchD. learn French instead of English27.Math can improve ones .A.logical thinking ability B.skills in computerC.interest in other subjects D. ability of finding a job28.Which of the following is TRUE?A.You will use everything you learn at school in your future job. B.Its not necessary to know what you like at school.C.Everything you learn at school has an influence on you.D.Logical thinking ability is the most important ability.29. Learning French can help us .A. have confidence in learning languagesB. go to FranceC. get a good result in the examD. make greater progress30.The last paragraph tells us that .A. everyone loves to play computer gamesB. it is not easy to get high marks in computer gamesC. we should do some very different thingsD. we should challengeBA well-dressed man entered a famous jewelry shop. He explained that he wished to buy a pearl for his wifes birthday. The price didnt matter. Since business had been very good for him that year. After examining a nice black one that cost $5,000, he paid for the pearl in cash, shook hands with the jeweler, and left.A few days later the man returned and said that his wife liked the pearl so much that she wanted another one just like it. It had to be exactly the same size and quality, because she wanted a pair of earrings, “can you give me any advice on how to get such a pearl?” said the man. The jeweler regretfully replied, “I would say its exactly impossible to find one exactly like that pearl.”The rich man insisted that the jeweler advertise in the newspapers, offering $ 25,000 for the matching pearl. Many people answered the advertisement but nobody had a pearl that was just right.Just when the jeweler had given up hope, a little old lady came into his store. To his great surprise, she pulled the perfect pearl from her purse. “I dont like to part with it,” she said sadly, “I inherited(继承) it from my mother, and my mother inherited it from hers. But I really need the money.”The jeweler was quick to pay her before she changed her mind. Then he called the rich mans hotel to tell him the good news. The man, however, was nowhere to be found.31. The man said he wanted to buy a pearl for _.A. his wife B. his mother-in lawC. his own mother D. no one32. The man paid $ 5,000 for the black pearl without bargaining (讨价还价) because _.A. he was very rich B. he wanted to make the jeweler believe himC. he was anxious to get it D. his business had been successful33. The man told the jeweler to get him another pearl that must be _.A. exactly the same size as the black oneB. exactly the same quality as the black oneC. worth no more than $ 25,000D. exactly as big and nice as the black one34. Many people answered the advertisement because they wanted _.A. to see the perfect pearl B. to buy some beautiful pearls tooC. to get in touch with the rich man D. to sell their own pearl at a high price35. The jeweler couldnt find the man anywhere because _.A. he died suddenlyB. he happened to be outC. he got $ 20,000 by cheating and had run away with the moneyD. he wouldnt show up until the jeweler called him a second timeCMiss Maynell and I grew to know each other through the mail. We sent letters to each other during the war and I fell in love with her as time went by. When World War II ended, I returned from Europe to my home in the United States. We planned our first meeting at the Grand Central Station in New York. And we agreed to wear a rose so that we could find out each other. At seven p.m., I was in the station and waited for the girl whose heart I loved but whose face Id never seen. I was so nervous and excited that my mind raced, guessing everything to do with her. What would she look like? Is she tall? Does she wear glasses? Suddenly a pretty and elegant(优雅的) lady in a green suit was coming toward me. I stood up excitedly from the chair and started to walk towards her, completely ignoring that she was not wearing a rose. “Excuse me, gentleman?” the lady gave me a strange look, walking away quickly. I felt embarrassed(尴尬的) and stopped. And then I saw Miss Maynell, who was over 40 years old, holding a red rose and standing directly behind the lady in green. I felt something even better than love. I didnt hesitate and walked to her. “Im John Blanchard, and you must be Miss Maynell,” I said, still feeling shocked and a little disappointed. “Im glad you could meet me, Miss Maynell. May I take you to dinner?” The woman smiled. “I dont know what this is about, son,” she answered. “But the young lady in the green suit begged me to wear this rose. And she said if you invited me to dinner, I should tell you that she is waiting for you in a big restaurant across the street. She said it was some kind of test!”36. What did John Blanchard go to the station for?A. To see the middle-aged womanB. To wait for a girl from Europe.C. To invite any woman with a rose to dinner.D. To meet his lover as planned.37. How could John Blanchard recognize the girl? A. By her green suitB. By her red roseC. By her beautiful faceD. By her pictures38. Why did John feel a bit disappointed? Because _.A. he thought Miss Maynell was a young lady.B. he found the girl in the green suit was going awayC. he failed to find the girl with a roseD. he knew that the girl would test him.39. Why did the young lady asked the woman to take her place to meet the man? A. She wanted to make fun of the man.B. She wanted to test what the man would do.C. She wanted to let him know she was a shy girl.D. She wanted to let him take the middle-aged woman to dinner.40. What may probably happen afterwards? A. John thanked Miss Maynell and went to the restaurant.B. John felt that he was cheated and left the station angrily.C. John went happily to the restaurant to meet real Miss Maynell.D. John eagerly invited the two women to dinner altogether.DChinese are very generous when it comes to educating their childrenNot caring about the money, parents often send their children to the best schools or even abroad to England, the United States or AustraliaThey also want their children to take extra-course activities where they will learn a musical instrument (乐器) or ballet or other classes which will give them a head start in lifeThe Chinese believe that the more expensive an education is, the better it isSo the parents will spend an unreasonable amount of money on educationEven poor couples will buy a computer for their son or daughter However, what most parents fail to see is that the best early education they can give their children is usually very cheap Parents can see that their childrens skills (能力) vary, skilled in some areas while poor in othersWhat most parents fail to realize though, is that todays children lack（缺乏） self-respect and self-confidence The problem is that parents are only educating their children on how to take multiple-choice tests and how to study well, but parents arent teaching them the most important skills they need to be confident, happy and cleverParents can achieve this by teaching practical skills like cooking, sewing and doing housework Teaching a child to cook will improve many of the skills that he will need later in lifeCooking demands patience and timeIts an enjoyable but difficult experimentA good cook always tries to improve his cooking, so he will learn to work hard and gradually to finish his job successfullyHis result, a well-cooked dinner, will give him much satisfaction and a lot of self-confidence Some old machines , such as a broken radio or TV set that you give your children to play with will make him curious（好奇）and arouse his interest He will spend hours looking at them, trying to fix them; your child might become an engineer when he grows up. These activities arent merely teaching a child to read a book, but rather to think, to use his mind. And that is more important41Parents in China, according to this passage, _ Aare too strict with their children Bare too rich to educate their children Chave some problems in educating their children correctly Dare too poor to educate their children42Generally speaking, childrens skills_ Acome from their parents Bhave nothing to do with their education Chave something to do with their marks in the exams Dmay be different 43The writer of this passage doesnt seem to be satisfied (满意) with_ Athe parents idea of educating their children Bthe education system Cchildrens skills Dchildrens hobbies44Doing some cooking at home helps children_ Alearn how to serve their parents B learn how to become strong and fat Cbenefit from it and prepare themselves for the future Dmake their parents believe that they are clever45According to the last paragraph, we can conclude that_ Abroken radios and television sets are useful Bones curiosity may be useful for his later life Can engineer must fix many broken radios Da good student should spend much time repairing radios第二节 信息匹配（共5小题；每小题2分，满分10分） 首先阅读以下寻物启事A.
