You come from a poor family. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of _38_. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for other things. There is no problem you could ever do it.” Then the teacher added, “_39_ you rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.”The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, “Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important _40_ for you.”Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all.

We are staying in a village. There are a lot of children here. We are playing games all day. Im writing this letter in the house you can see in the picture on the other side of this postcard. Jacqui is learning to swim, Terry is lying in the sun, John is reading a newspaper and the children in the village are playing football near the river now. What are you doing now? We are enjoying the holiday very much. See you soon! Love, Janet 42. Who is writing the postcard? A. Fiona. B. Janet. C. Terry. 43. Where are they staying now? A. In a village. B. In the mountain. C. In a big city. 44. Where does Fiona live? A. in the south of America . B. In a village in England. C. On Park Street in England . 45. Which one is NOT right? A. Terry is lying in the sun. B. John is reading a newspaper.C. The children are swimming in the river.46. How do they like the holiday？ AEnjoyable. B. Terrible. C. Boring. BMany People ask me, “Paul, do you have a car in Xiamen?” I always replay, “no way. Even if I had the money to buy a car, I wouldnt buy one.” Why? Well I think the buses are great. I used to ride my bike everywhere, but now I only ride 2 times a week. It can be dangerous riding a bike with the traffic situation getting busier and busier. Now I take the bus. If I compare Xiamens bus service to what we have at home, its a million times better. Firstly, the bus service in my home town is expensive, unreliable(不可靠的) and inconvenient. Most people in England dont trust public transport so they just buy a car to get from A to B. I find that here, theres no need to have a car. I have bought a traffic card, which gets me wherever I want to go within Xiamen island for 9 mao. And I never really wait that long for a bus either. Some people do say, “oh, but the buses are so crowded.” That cant be helped either. There are a lot of people here. This is China. There are some things that we just have to stand. The bottom line is if I travel to work by taxi, it will cost about 505 RMB a month. If I go by bus it costs 39 RMB. You do the math! Talking about taxis, I was told that all the old taxis would be gone by now. Sometimes I still get into an old noisy smelly taxi which feels like its going to break down at any time. And I still pay the same price as taking a newer taxi. And why are most of the taxi drivers so easy to get angry? And why do they all change shift(换班) at the same time in the evening when its busy? Am I the only one that thinks that the system(系统) needs improving?47. Paul is from .A. Italy B. Sweden C. The United Kingdom48. Paul doesnt ride the bike to go everywhere now because he thinks .A. its not safe B. it wastes time C. its tiring49. Paul didnt buy a car because .A. he hasnt got enough money B. Xiamens bus service is cheap and convenientC. the traffic situation is getting busier and busier.50. The word “stand” here means .A. 站着 B. 维持现状 C. 忍耐、忍受51. Which is TRUE about the taxis in Xiamen according to Paul?A. The price of taxi is too expensive. B. Some of the taxis are too old.C. Most of the taxi driver are friendly.C Post your problems on the blog and get other bloggers advice!My problem is my parents. They never stop going on about how I should keep my room tidy, keep my hair tidy and wear smart clothes. They even make me do the washing-up after dinner every night! What should I do?Helen, USAWhy do you think youre the only one with parents like that? All parents are the same. They dont understand that fashions have changed in the last 30 years!

If a person loses a lot of blood, he will become ill and may die. Blood is very important. People have always known that. At one time, some people even drank blood to make them strong!When doctors understand how blood goes around inside the body, they try ways of giving blood to people who need it. They take blood from the healthy people and give it to people who need it. This is called blood transfusion. The blood goes from the arm of the healthy person into the arm of the sick person.But there are two problems. First, it does not always work. Sometimes people die when they have blood transfusion. Later, doctors find that we do not all have the same kind of blood. There are four groupsO, A, B and AB. We all have blood of one of these groups. They also find that they can give any kind of blood to people of group AB. But they find that they must give A-group blood to A-group people and B-group blood to B-group people. I have O-group blood and the doctor told me that I could give blood to anyone else safely.There is another problem. To give blood of the right kind, doctors have to find a person of the right blood group. Often they can not find a person in time. If they have a way to keep the blood until someone needs it, they can always have the right kind of blood. At first they find they can keep it in bottles for fifteen to twenty days. They do this by making it very cold. Then they find how to keep it longer. In the end they find a way of keeping blood for a very long time.We call a place where we keep money a bank. We call a place where we keep blood a blood bank. One day, when you grow up, you may decide to give blood to a blood bank. In this way you may stop someone from dying. Or perhaps one day you may become ill. You may need blood. The blood bank will give it to you. 57. From the passage, we learn that sometimes people die when they have blood transfusions because they _.A. are unhealthy people B. have lost a lot of blood C. are not given the right kind of blood58. Which of the following is true?A. Doctors can give any kind of blood to the writer.B. The writer can give blood to B-group people.C. The writer has never had a blood transfusion.59. People set up the blood bank so that they can .A. give the right kind of blood to the people who need it in timeB. keep different groups of blood as much as possibleC. make it easier to sell or buy blood60. From the last paragraph (段落) of the passage, we learn that .A. the writer thinks its good to give blood to a blood bankB. we may become ill if we give blood to a blood bankC. many people died because they lost a lot of blood61. The writer doesnt talk about _ in the passage.A. how important blood is to us B. the four groups of blood C. where the blood bank isEbarkYou are going to read something about tree rings .There may be some new words, but you can guess their meaning according to the picture.layerAs a tree grows, it produces new layers of wood around the trunk (树干) , just under the bark. If a tree is cut down, the layers are visible in a cross section. The layers are called tree rings. We can learn many things from the tree rings. Most trees grow one new ring each year. Because of this we can know the age of a tree. But the tree does not grow at same speed all year. It grows very quickly in spring and summer, slowly in autumn and winter. The light ring is larger because it is the spring and autumn growth, the dark ring is the slow autumn and winter growth. So when you look at the rings, one year is a light and dark ring together. To find the age of the tree when it is cut down just count the dark rings. The oldest ring is the small one in the middle and the youngest is the last ring just below the bark.The size of tree rings are different each year, that depends upon the environmental conditions(条件) that the tree experiences. For most area tree rings will be wider(更宽的) during years of plenty of rain and narrower(更窄的) during times of little rain. Sometimes the rings are closer together on one side of a tree and wider apart on the other. Thats because one side of the tree has grown faster than the other. Trees like all plants need light and space to grow, maybe this kind of trees have been on the edge(边缘) of the forest and received more light.62. Look at the picture below, its part of the tree ring, we can know the age of the tree is A. 14 B. 28 C. 2963. The ring just below the bark is the ring of a tree. A. earliest B. widest C. latest64. Which tree may live at the edge of the forest?A. B. C. 65. If the ring of 1998 is wider than that of 2000, that means .A. there is less rain in 2000 than in 1998 B. the winter is colder in 1998 than in 2000C. there is one more day in 2000 than in 199866. According to the passage, which statement is NOT TRUE?A. A tree grows at the same speed each year.B. If you want to know the age of a tree, you can count the layers.C. We can get some information about the climate in the pass from the tree rings.第二部分（非选择题）（四）情景交际运用（共20分）VIII. 根据对话情景，填入恰当的单词。（每空一词，每词1分，共6分）Molly : Larry is working late again tonight.
