Every year we were taken to different places for our school picnics. I was never able to go to these tours but I enjoyed every word of the stories told by my friends. When I was in Grade Eight, I won a couple of prizes in drawing and school competitions. We were also given many projects as class assignments that helped all of us to know more about the subject. I was very fond of cricket (now in football). My friends and I played cricket in the school campus after school, but at the same time, we all used to get lots of scolding from our headmaster. Every Saturday we used to have our P.T. exercise, and frankly speaking, nobody in my class, even me, had ever liked this. As I reached Grade Nine I realised that I should concentrate on my studies as the next year I was going to take my Board exams. The most memorable day in my life was the day when we held the farewell party for our seniors. Well, now I am in Grade Ten and all set to write my Boards in March. Whenever I recollect all these incidents of school life, I feel very happy and in everybodys school life, I think there are many ups and downs that mould(浇注) ones life. School is a place where all of us learn to care and share. “School” is not just a place, but also it is a large dome made up of knowledge, love and affection. I think in everybodys success, school plays a key role. I can describe my school in “Three Ss”, they are: Small, Sweet and Simple. 46. From the second paragraph we can infer that _. A. all the students could take part in schools picnicsB. the author didnt behave well beforeC. the author was very bad at his studies D. the school didnt approve of students playing on the campus47. At school, the author is good at _.A. drawingB. cricketC. footballD. composition 48. The underlined phrase “ups and downs” probably means “_”.A. favorite and boring subjects B. lucky and unlucky personsC. good and bad experiences D. high and low spirits49.What would be the best title for the passage? A. I am good at playing football B. We should study hard C. My life at school D. What a school meansB Everyone takes drugs. Sometimes a drug might be called a herb （草药） but the effect is the same. Drugs and herbs can make life better for they are used to improve health. From the simplest headache to a cure for cancer, people believe that certain drugs can help them. But there is danger if the drugs are not used in a proper way.American teenagers sometimes use certain drugs to feel good. They call this “getting high”. The problem is that once a young man or a young woman has the feeling of “getting high”, they want to do it often. If school is boring or too hard, students might get depressed and a drug or herb might help them feel better. If the student takes too much of a drug, the body may change in a wrong way such as a confused mind, poor sight, a headache, and an uncomfortable stomach.Schools now have D. A. R. E. program which means Drug Abuse Resistance Education. This program was started so that young students from age 10 to 18 might understand how a drug affects their bodies. The main point of the program is education. Once a student understands certain drugs can cause ill health, he will know he should not use them.Education is the key to good nutrition as well. If a student eats correctly, he or she will be full of energy which leads to good study habits and good grades. Poor nutrition may cause the need for more sleep and poor concentration. Proper food is similar to the proper use of drugs. Both allow a healthy body to grow while the misuse of them prevents a person from developing normally.50.What does the underlined phrase “getting high” (in Paragraph 2) mean?A. Flying high. B. Feeling comfortable.C. Getting confused. D. Falling asleep.51. We can infer from the passage that _. A. drug abuse is a common phenomenon in America B. poor grades is the main reason for drug abuseC.good eating habit may help students keep away from drugsD. teenagers always need to seek for excitement 52. The main aim of D. A. R. E. program is to _. A. manage and control drugs B. explain to teenagers what drug isC. educate teenagers how to keep fit D.help teenagers know about the harm of drugs 53.Which of the following can be the best title for this passage?A. Use drugs properly B. The harm of getting highC. Common drug abuse in America D. Why do students take drugs?CWomen dont talk more than men. Really, they dont. Women speak 20,000 words a day, compared to the average mans 7,000. But a study published recently denies this old rule. Both men and women use about 16,000 words a day, says the new research in Science magazine. “Its been a common belief, but it just didnt fit,” says James Pennebaker, the researcher of the seven-year study. Pennebaker and his colleagues analyzed recorded conversations of 396 university students age 18 to 29 in the USA and Mexico, including 210 women and 186 men. The study didnt look at vocabulary or word use, but rather word count. Pennebaker says two-thirds of participants spoke 11,000 to 25,000 words a day, with the average for both sexes about 16,000 words. The finding may seem surprising in a popular culture where women are often thought of as talkative and men as silent. Most recently, psychiatrist (精神病学家) Louann Brizendine used the 20,000 and 7,000 comparison in her 2006 book The Female Brain, as evidence for brain differences. After the book came out in August, the data was widely reused. “That hits a nerve (神经). Its been surprising to me that this little point is the point people pick out,” says Brizendine. But experts in neurolinguistics(神经语言学) thought that the data was uncertain. Mark Liberman, a linguistics professor at the University of Pennsylvania, says that after Brizendines book came out, he tried to find evidence to support her claim, but failed.54. What did Pennebaker and his colleagues focus on in their study? A. The number of words people used. B. The structures people used.C. The speed of speaking words. D. The use of words. 55. We can know the comparison used in The Female Brain was _. A. considered untrue by most scientists B. accepted as a truth by most scientists C. seldom reused by others D. considered as evidence for sex brain similarities56. It can be inferred from the passage that at the beginning, Mark Liberman _. A. didnt believe Brizendines data in her 2006 book The Female BrainB. thought Brizendines data in her 2006 book The Female Brain was true C. succeeded in finding the evidence to support Brizendines claim D. cared little about Brizendines claim in her 2006 book The Female Brain D Football, to me, is more than just a game. I have probably learned more valuable lessons from it than from school. When I joined the team freshman year, I didnt realize what I was getting into. Even though I had been playing since fourth grade and knew it was hard work, nothing would prepare me for the effort I would put into football that year. We worked all summer in the weight room and ran on the track to get in physical and mental shape before the season. See, football is more of a mental sport than anything else, so running on the track wasnt only about getting in shape. We would push our minds by running as hard as we could even if we were going to pass out. At the beginning, I was immature（幼稚） and only thought of myself, sometimes even gave up when I was tired or hurt. Then after the third game I had a season-ending injury. Imagine working all summer and then only being able to play three games! I needed surgery on my arm and at least five months to recover. Needless to say, I missed the rest of the season, but this actually helped me realize that since you never know when your last play will be, you should try your hardest in football and life. After freshman year I decided that I would always give my best effort. Playing varsity(校队的) football has taught me so much more than just what my assignments are on a particular play or how to block. I have learned to think about others first, and realized how important working hard is. Being with all my friends, even sweating and bleeding with them, really made us bond as a group of hard-working young men who I know will succeed in life. 57. What is the main idea of the passage?A. How the author dislikes the game of football.B. When the author began to play football.C. How the author has changed his attitude to football.D. What sport the author likes best.58. In the third paragraph, the underlined phrase “getting in shape” probably means “_”.A. becoming healthy B. designing the playgroundC. losing weight D. measuring the track59. From the text we can infer _. A. the author joined the football team with a clear aimB. football only brought the author certain assignmentsC. the author worked all summer to get ready for the seasonD. the author never lost heart when he met with difficulty60. What did the author get from his season-ending injury?A. A good lesson about life. B. A good chance on the team.C. A good relationship with his partners. D. A good rest as he expected. 第二节：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。EIf you have the courage to try to quit smoking, then you have the courage to quit smoking.
