crow watched them with disdain 笔试 You have no flying skills at all he said to the swans All you can do is to move your wings Can you turn over in the air No that s beyond you Let s have a flying competition I ll show you what real flying is One of the swans a strong young male took up the challenge 挑战 The crow flew up and began to show his skills He flew in circles performed other flying tricks and then came down and looked proudly at the swan Now it was the swan s turn He flew up and began flying over the sea The crow flew after him making all kinds of comments 评价 about his flying They flew on and on till they couldn t see the land and there was nothing but water on all sides The crow was making fewer and fewer comments He was now so exhausted that he found it hard to stay in the air and had to struggle to 12999 英语网 12999 英语网 keep himself from falling into the water The swan pretended 假装 not to notice and said Why do you keep touching the water brother Is that another trick No said the crow He knew he had lost the competition I m in trouble because of my pride 自大 If you don t help me I ll lose my life The swan took pity on him and took him on his shoulders and flew back to the beach 21 What s the correct order of the following events a The crow followed the swan and got into trouble b The swan felt pity for the crow and saved it c The crow had to ask the swan for help d The swan accepted a challenge of performing flying tricks A a d b c B a b d c C d a c b D d c a b 22 What does the underlined word exhausted in Paragraph 4 mean A Tired B Bored C Nervous D Frightened 23 What do we learn from the passage A Practice makes perfect B The early bird catches the worm C No pains no gains D Pride goes before a fall B Cats are the most popular pets among Americans So it is not surprising that there are a lot of expressions about cats Some cats like to catch small birds like canaries 金丝雀 If someone looks very proud and satisfied with himself we say he looks like the cat that ate the canary Sometimes a cat likes to play with a small animal it catches So if you play cat and mouse with someone it means that you change between different kinds of behavior when dealing with another person For example a girl might offer something sweet to her little brother and then take it away when he reaches for it Americans might say that something is the cat s miaow or the cat s pajamas 睡衣 to describe something that is the best or finest A copycat is someone who acts just like someone else or copies another person s work A fat cat is a person with a lot of money If you tell about something that is supposed to be a secret we say you let the cat out of the bag If you are not able to speak or answer a question someone might ask you if the cat has got your tongue 舌头 Have you ever watched children in a classroom when their teacher leaves for a few minutes When the cat s away the mice will play means people sometimes act badly when there is no supervision 监管 You may have heard the expression curiosity killed the cat This means caring too much about things that are not your business might cause problems If you have ever had cats as pets you know it is difficult to train them or to get them to do something Cats are not like Sheep or cows that can be moved in a group So we say a difficult or impossible job is like herding 放牧 cats 12999 英语网 12999 英语网 24 What can we learn from the passage A The expression a fat cat is used to describe someone who is very fat B The expression play cat and mouse usually means play tricks on others C It is more difficult to keep sheep or cows than cats D There are more expressions about cats than those about dogs 25 In which of the following situations do we most probably use the expression curiosity killed the cat A Someone always asked a lady her age or weight and it made her angry B Someone promised to keep a secret but he failed to do so C Someone won the first prize in an English singing competition and he felt very excited D Someone tried to swim across the Yangtze River with his newly broken legs 26 Where can you most probably find the passage A In a scientific research paper about cats B On a website telling people how to keep cats C In a magazine telling various jokes and funny stories D In a language book that teaches students how to use American slang C Have successful people ever felt sad Do they have any secrets to success The answers to these questions can be found in US president Barack Obama s back to school speech Here is an excerpt 摘录摘录 from his speech I know that sometimes you get the sense that you can be rich and successful without any hard work that your ticket to success is through rapping 饶舌音乐 or basketball or being a TV star when chances are you re not going to be any of those things But the truth is being successful is hard You won t love every subject you study Not all the homework will seem completely important to your life right this minute And you may not succeed at everything the first time you try That s OK Some of the most successful people in the world are the ones who ve had the most failures JK Rowling s first Harry Potter book was turned down 12 times before it finally came out Michael Jordan was cut from his high school basketball team and he lost hundreds of games and missed thousands of shots 投篮 during his career But he once said I have failed over and over and over again in my life And that is why I succeed These people succeeded because they understand that you can t let your failures beat you you have to let them teach you You have to let them show you what to do differently next time No one s born being good at things You become good at things through hard work Don t be afraid to ask questions Don t be afraid to ask for help when you need it I do that every day Asking for help isn t a sign of weakness it s a sign of strength It shows you have the courage to admit 承认 when you don t know something and to learn something new And even when you re struggling even when you re discouraged 泄气 and you feel like other people have given up on you don t ever give up on yourself Because when you give up on yourself you give up on your country 12999 英语网 12999 英语网 27 Why does Barack Obama mention 提到 JK Rowling and Michael Jordan in the fourth paragraph A To compare these two famous persons B To explain that writing and sports are difficult skills C To show that the two persons were treated unfairly D To prove that failure is the mother of success 28 Which of the following statements is NOT true A No one can be successful without working hard B Failure can be good if you treat it in a right way C Those who believe in themselves shouldn t ask others for help D One should try his best to make his dream come true 29 Which of the following is the closest in meaning to the underlined sentence A One should change his mind when others give honest advice to him B One should believe in himself no matter what difficulty he is faced with C One doesn t have to work hard when he has failed several times D One doesn t have to take others advice when they get away from him D For hundreds Of years scientists have been trying to answer what things have an effect on people s emotions 情感 How you feel is controlled by many things Your emotions can be affected by your personality by the actions of others and by events around you Perhaps you don t know your emotions can be influenced by the weather as well People often say they feel good when the sun is shining and sad when it is cloudy In fact sunlight makes us feel good When sunlight hits our skins our bodies produce a vitamin Vitamins are natural chemicals 化学物质 which we all need to stay healthy Sunlight helps our bodies produce vitamin D Vitamin D helps our bodies make a special chemical This special chemical affects our brains 大脑 and makes us feel happy For example there are long dark winters of little sunlight in Sweden and Norway so many people in these countries often feel sad Without much sunlight their bodies produce less vitamin D Without enough vitamin D their bodies make less of this special chemical which makes them feel good To help the people in these countries feel better special sunrooms with artificial 人造的 lights have been built People can go there and get sunlight for an hour or two The weather can also affect people s emotions in other ways Hot weather can make people angry because people feel uncomfortable when they are hot In the same way rain can make people angry because being wet can be unpleasant As you can see the weather can have an effect on the chemicals which control our brains Through these ways the weather can influence our emotions Sadly while the weather can change us we can hardly change the weather 30 Which of the following is NOT mentioned as a factor 因素 that can affect one s emotions A Weather B Actions of others C Personality D Age 12999 英语网 12999 英语网 31 Which of the following is true about vitamin D according to the passage A It is a kind of artificial chemical B It makes us worried by affecting our brains C It is needed by us all to keep fit D It is in the sunlight 32 What can we infer 推断 from the passage A We feel good when we are in the bright cool weather B We will be happy when we are caught in the rain C All people in Norway and Sweden feel sad in winter D The more vitamin D you have the happier you ll be 33 What may be the best title for this passage A Why Do We Feel Sad B The Weather Influences People s Emotions C People Need More Vitamin D D We Can Hardly Change the Weather 四 阅读表达 共 5 小格 每小格 1 分 满分 5 分 阅读下面短文 在表格内的空白处填入合适的答案 每格限填一词 We ve come a long way from blackboards and chalk Modern technology 技术 has provided us with lots of ways we can make learning more interesting Perhaps most importantly of all it s also more interactive 互动 Some kinds of tools 工具 have been developed They make the 21st century learning experience much more interactive and interesting Attracting the attention of students is always difficult but these tools have made a big difference in how pupils learn For example an interactive whiteboard is different from a traditional chalkboard It allows the teachers to show images and provide sound as well If you imagine a large computer screen with colorful images and sound added in you can see why so many pupils are drawn in by what they see and hear in a modern classroom Various audio 声音的 tools also help to make sure that everyone can hear what the teacher has to say In the past if a teacher said something that a child missed perhaps the child was too timid 胆小的 or nervous to ask them to repeat it Now they are less likely to miss out simply because they re sitting too far away from the teacher to hear them The 21st century classroom is able to teach pupils more than one thing For example imagine a history lesson is given in a modern classroom How is it different from a classroom setting in the past The answer is simple The students will not only learn about history itself they will also learn how to use the modern equipment 设备 that helps the teacher get their message across Modern technology can make teaching and learning easier Student response 应答 system makes everyone able to express their opinions or answers without having to speak up Since everyone can do it the teacher can see who needs more help in other ways It s clear that this kind of classroom technology is making a great difference in modern classrooms 12999 英语网 12999 英语网 Topic Modern technology helps us make
