I just lived in this game, this moment. I didnt hear the crowd, I didnt feel the cold or the pain, I never felt tired. I just kept my eyes on the 48 , and it was just me and the ball and, inside, a soft, white light 49 me the way to the goal. It was a beautiful, empty feeling. Its all over now, and its really getting cold here. Its starting to snow. The suns almost gone, and I can 50 see the goal. Now its dark and Im sitting here all alone.

But how do you deal with your worries? Whether your worries are big or small, you can take these three steps to deal with your worries:1. Try to find out what youre worried about Sometimes, you will know what youre worried about. Other times, you might not. Try to find it out first; if you cant, you can ask for help. 2. Think of ways to make it betterThere is always something you can do to help you feel less worried. Sitting there worrying is no fun and it wont solve your problem. Grades at school are often a top worry for kids. If youre worried about grades, ask yourself these questions: Why are grades important? What do grades mean to me? How do I get ready for class? Do I go over my notes even when there isnt a test? Do I have a good place to do my homework? Have I tried different ways of studying?If your worry is about a fight you had with a friend, you might write down all the things you could dowrite a note to him or her, invite him or her to a basketball game, say sorry to him or her etc. Once you have a list of things you could do, you can choose the one that gets your friend back. 3. Ask for helpWhen youre worried, it can help to find someone to talk to. You can ask your parents, friends, or teachers for help.( ) 56. How many steps of dealing with your worries are mentioned in the passage? A. Two.B. Three.C. Four.D. Seven. ( )57. When you dont know what youre worried about, _. A. you should try to find it out B. you cant ask for help C. you dont need to think of waysD. you can sit there worrying( )58. If youre worried about grades, you can ask yourself these questions except “_”. A. Why are grades important?B. What do grades mean to me? C. How do I get ready for class?D. Why dont my friends like me?( )59. According to the passage, what will you do if you have a fight with your friend? A. Make a new friend.B. Dont talk to him or her any more. C. Have another fight with him or her.D. Invite him or her to a basketball game.( )60. The passage mainly tells us _. A. who is often worriedB. when people are worried C. how to deal with our worriesD. what kind of worries people have(C)The word“day”has two meanings. When we talk about the number of days in a year, we are using“day”to mean 24 hours. But when we talk about day and night, we are using“day”to mean the time between sunrise and sunset. Since the earth looks like a ball, the sun can shine on only half of it at a time. Always one half of the earth is having day and the other half night. A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by the spinning（旋转）of the earth. At the equator（赤道）day and night are sometimes the same length（长度）. They are each twelve hours long. The sun rises at 6 oclock in the morning and sets at 6 oclock in the evening. For six months the North Pole is tilted（倾斜）toward the sun. In those months the Northern Hemisphere（半球）gets more hours of sunlight than the Southern Hemisphere. Days are longer than nights. South of the equator nights are longer than days. For the other six months the North Pole is tilted away from the sun. Then the Southern Hemisphere gets more sunlight. Days are longer than nights. North of the equator nights are longer than days. Winter is the season of long nights. Summer is the season of long days.( )66When the Western Hemisphere is having day, the Eastern Hemisphere is having _.A. both day and night B. dayC. neither day nor night D. night( ) 67A place is moved from day into night and from night into day over and over by _ of the earth.A. the pushing B. the pulling C. the spinning D. the passing( ) 68At the equator day is as long as night _.A. sometimes B. never C. usually D. always( )69When the North Pole is tilted toward the sun, the Northern Hemisphere gets _ sunlight.A. less B. more C. all D. no( )70When it is winter in China, _.A. the USA is tilted toward the sunB. the South Pole is tilted away from the sunC. the North Pole is tilted toward the sunD. the North Pole is tilted away from the sun (D)Height is just one of the thousands of features your genes(基因)decide. In fact, because you have two parents, your genes provide you a height that usually lands somewhere between the height of each parent. If both your parents are tall, then most probably you will be tall, too, but if you have questions about how tall youre going to be, ask your doctor if he or she can help you find it out.But genes dont decide everything. For example, eating an unhealthy diet can keep you from growing to your full potential(潜力). Getting plenty of sleep and enough exercise will help you grow to the expected height.No doubt(怀疑) youre wondering how fast you should grow. It depends. Theres no perfect or right answer. Generally speaking, kids grow about 2 inches (6 centimeters) a year between age 3 and the time when they start puberty (when your body starts changing and becoming more grown up).Your doctor will know how your growth has been going over the years. Two centimeters here and 2 inches there are not nearly as important as the height youre at now, how youve been growing up to this point, and what other changes your body may be going through.Dont be scared if you seem to have grown a lot in a very short time. Everyone has a growth spurt（高峰）during puberty. The age for starting puberty is about 10 for girls and about 11 for boys. But it can be earlier or later -between 7 and 13 for girls and 9 and 15 for boys.Youll usually begin to notice that youre growing faster about a year or so after your body starts to show the first changes of puberty. ( ) 61. The Chinese for the word “puberty” is _. A. 童年时期B.婴幼儿时期 C.习惯养成期 D. 生长发育期( )62. If you want to know how fast and how tall you should grow, _. A. you should have enough exerciseB. you can ask doctors for help C. you should save the environmentD. You can record your growth during puberty ( )63. This passage is mainly about _. A. how the genes work in your bodyB. when is the time you grow fast C. why you look like your parentsD. how you grow to a certain height ( )64. After reading this passage, we can explain _. A. how good it is to be a doctorB. how much sleep time we need C. why genes cant decide everythingD. what healthy diet is( )65. Which is NOT mentioned in the passage? A. Your height most probably depends on how high your parents are. B. Girls age for starting puberty is usually earlier than that for boys. C. The time showing the first changes of puberty is never noticed. D. You may be scared sometimes when you grow too fast.第卷（50分）一词汇（5分）A.根据所给中文，英文释义和句意完成句子（5分）1.Many of us went to listen to the_（音乐会） The Same Song last week.2.China is the biggest country in _(亚洲).3.I wonder _ or not it is a good idea to accept his suggestion.4.Sometimes we see a _(an arch of different colours that appears in the sky when the sun shines through rain)in the sky after a heavy rain.5.Some students keep_ (日记) in English every day.B.用所给词的适当形式填空（5分）forty late I success decide far1.Who jumped _in this years sports meeting.2.Theres something wrong with your computer.You can use _.3.Its difficult for us to make a _in such a short time.4.My mothers_birthday happens to be on Mothers Day.5.We can watch the _news in CCTV-News.C.用所给动词的适当形式填空（5分）advise complete prefer notice achieve1.The young man _ to go traveling by train last summer, so he could enjoy the view all the way.2.
