(12分)Ive loved literature since I was a small boy at school and my teacher used to read us stories. Now, I really like reading and writing short stories. The stories are usually about 6 to 20 pages long and focus on an interesting person, a problem which the person has and what happens when the person tries to solve the problem. Most societies seem to have an oral storytelling tradition in which people meet together to tell each other short stories and in which parents tell their children stories at bedtime. This was certainly ture in England, in India, in Kenya, in Mexico and in japan. Is it true in china too? In many countries, oral storytelling is still important but in most countries no, stories are written down and published in books. My favorite collection of short stories is a book called The Story giant by Brian Pattern, in which a giant knows all the stories in the world except one. If he doesnt find the last story he will die. In the book he gets four children from different parts of the world to tell him stories in the hope that he will find the last story so he can stay alive and pass the worlds stories on forever. Do you think he finds the last story? I also like reading novels. These are long stories of about 300 to 600 pages. They usually tell the stories of an interesting person (or a number of people) over a period of time. One of my favorite novels is called Life of Pi. It is written by a Canadian author named Yann Martel and is about an Indian boy who spends a long time at sea after a shipwreck(海滩) alone with only a tiger.There are many famous Chinese novelists writing today. You can enjoy finding out more about China and about the rest of the world by reading them. And you could try reading a novel in English, too.74. All the students like Mr. smith because he often _us stories. A. talks about B. tells C. speaks D.says75. If the little boy doesnt _ his lost lamb, his step mother will beat him.

(12分) If your life is _80_ the power you want and the motivation you need, all you have to do is shift your point of view. By training your _81_ to concentrate on the bright _82_ of things, you are more likely to have the incentive to follow through your goals. You are less likely to be held back by negative ideas that might limit your performance. Your life can be enhanced, and your happiness enriched, when you choose to change your perspective. Dont leave your future to chance, or wait for things to get better mysteriously on their own. You must go in the direction of your hopes and aspirations. Begin to build your confidence, and work through problems rather than avoid them. Remember that power is not _83_ control over situations, but the ability to deal with _84_ comes your way. Always believe that good things are possible, and remember that mistakes can be lessons that lead to discoveries. Take your fear and transform it into trust; learn to rise above anxiety and doubt. Turn your “worry hours” into “productive hours”. Take the energy that you have wasted and direct it toward every worthwhile effort that you can be involved _85_. You will see beautiful things when you allow yourself to experience the joys of life. You will find happiness when you adopt positive thinking into your daily routine and make it part of your world.80. A. short B. lacking C. shorting D. lacked81.

Her only chance of recovery appeared to be a blood transfusion f_87_ her 5-year-old brother, who had miraculously survived the same disease and had developed the antibodies needed to combat the illness. The doctor explained the situation to her little brother, and asked the boy if he would be willing to give his blood to his sister. I saw him hesitate for o_88_ a moment before taking a deep b_89_ and saying, “yes, Ill do it if it will save Liz.” As the transfusion progressed, he lay in bed next to his sister and smiled, as we all did, seeing the color r_90_ to her cheeks. Then his face grew pale and his smile faded. He looked up at the doctor and asked with a trembling voice, “will I start to die r_91_ away?” Being y_92_, the body had misunderstood the doctor. He thought he was going to have to give his sister all of his blood. And he was willing to do that for her.86.s_ 87.f_ 88.o_ 89.b_90.r_ 91.r_ 92.y_DAnswer the questions. (12分)Stress is what you feel when you are worried or uncomfortable about something. This worry in your mind can make your body feel bad. You may feel angry, frustrated, or afraid, which, in turn, can give you a stomachache or a headache. When youre stressed you may not feel like sleeping or eating. You also may have trouble paying attention at school and remembering things at home. Plenty of things can cause stress in a kids life. However, remember that some types of stress are good and others are bad. Good or normal stress might show up when youre called on in class or when you have to give a report. Have you ever gotten butterflies in your stomach? Those can be signs of good stressthe kind of stress that can help you to get things done. For example, you may do a better job on your report if the anxiety inspires you to prepare well before you read it to the class. But bad stress can happen if the stressful feelings keep going over time. You may not feel well if your parents are fighting, if youre having problems at school, or if youre going through anything else that makes you upset every day. That kind of stress isnt going to help you, and it can actually make you sick. Once you recognize that youre feeling stressed, there are several things you can do. You can try talking about whats bothering you with an adult you trust, like a parent or teacher. An adult may have ideas about how to solve whatever is worrying you or making you uncomfortable. There are also relaxation exercises that you can use to get rid of stress. The easiest one is to breathe in slowly and deeply through your nose, and then breathe out slowly through your mouth.
