It said, “This seat 20 (keep) for proper load balance, thank you.” Because he had never seen such a kind of 21 (usual) notice in a plane before, Mr. Robinson was a little surprised. But he thought that the plane must be carrying something 22 (particular) heavy in it, so he walked on and found 23 empty seat, not beside a window, to sit in.Two or three people tried to sit in the window seat beside the soldier, but they too read the notice and went on. When the plane was nearly full, a very pretty girl hurried into the plane.

He thought a long time and then said , “Yes, it was at school. I can remember everything about it . School boys in those days did not take good care of their chairs and desks. There was a rule in our school that if anyone damaged his desk or chair, he would have to pay five dollars or the teacher would beat him in front of the whole school.” “One day I damaged my desk in some way, I had to pay five dollars or be beaten before the whole school. My father said it would be too bad to have our family disgraced in front of the whole school. He agreed to give me five dollars to hand over the teacher. But before he gave me the money, he took me upstairs and gave me a beating.”“But as I had one beating and I decided I would take another beating at school and keep thefive dollars. So thats what I did. That was the first money I ever earned.”26.

Songs from Elvis Presley to Ricky Martin, from the Beatles to Eminem and from Natalie Cole to Britney Spears have all been enjoyed by people around the world, even for people who dont speak English, and even for people who speak zero English.From my experience, some people listen to English songs for 20-30 years but still dont achieve any good English skills. Some people choose English songs to be their main learning method, but most of them fail.Listening to English songs does not help you to speak English fluently. It does help you gain some vocabulary, but most of these words are unusual ones that you dont use in everyday life. You wont learn the sentence “It is a difficult project. We really need to meet the deadline.” in any English songs. All you will hear are love, passion, infection, hate and blue, for the feeling, not the color.People like using English songs to practice English skills because its easy and enjoyable. They think that sitting in the car listening to English songs day after day will improve their English skills. It actually will not.You will definitely not improve your listening skills because normal people dont speak with a tune. People dont talk like Eminems songs. You cant get yourself familiar with English pronunciation or accent just from listening to English songs. The words that they pronounce in the songs are not the words that you will hear in your everyday life. They can even confuse you more about how English is pronounced.I would fully encourage you to watch English movies and listen to radio news or other normal talks, but not music. Of course, you can consume it for fun but not with the aim of improving your English skills. Having good English skills is not that easy. Remember you should work hard to improve your English step by step.31. According to the passage, listening to English songs can help you _.A. improve your English grammarB. speak English more fluentlyC. gain the skills of writingD. learn more new words32. Which of the following statements is NOT true according to the passage?A. Most people think it is convenient to learn English by listening to English songs.B. Its hard for people to improve their listening skills by listening to English songs.C. Its a good idea to learn to speak with an English accent by listening to English songs.D. Its rare to hear normal people speak English like they are singing.33. What can we learn about the words in English songs?A. Most of them are vivid and interesting.B. They are seldom used in peoples everyday life.C. English learners should learn more of them.D. They can help people improve their pronunciation.34. It can be inferred from the passage that the writer may be _.A. an experienced English learnerB. a well-known pop singerC. a Chinese music fanD. an American teacher35. The last paragraph is written mainly to _.A. give us some advice on how to learn EnglishB. encourage us to go to see more filmsC. tell us learning English is hard for everyoneD. warn us not to listen to music in our daily lifeCOnce there was a man who liked to eat mangoes. One day he decided to get the sweetest mango from the very top of the tree. Mangoes which are exposed to the sun the most are the sweetest.So he climbed up to the top, where the branches were thin. He managed to pick up a few sweet reddish fruits, but, in an attempt to climb down, he slipped and started falling towards the ground. Fortunately, he caught the branch as he was falling and remained helplessly hanging on the tree. Then he started to call nearby villagers for help. They immediately came with a ladder and sticks, but could do little to help him.Then after some time one calm and thoughtful person arrived a well-known sage (a wise person) who lived in a simple hut nearby. People were very curious to see what he would do, as he was famous in solving many peoples problems in the area and sometimes very complicated ones.He was silent for a minute and then picked up a stone and threw it at the hanging man. Everybody was surprised. The hanging mango lover started to shout: “What are you doing?! Are you crazy? Do you want me to break my neck?” The sage was silent. Then he took another stone and threw it at the man. The man was very angry: “If I could just come down, I would show you!”Thats what everybody wanted. Then he was coming down. But how? Now everybody was tense about what would happen next! Some wanted to blame the sage, but they didnt. The sage picked another stone and threw it again at the man, even more forcefully. Now the man on the tree was even more angry and developed a great determination to come down and take revenge (复仇).He then used all his skill and strength and somehow reached the branches which were safe to start going down. And he made it! Everybody was amazed.However, the rescued man found the sage gone. He stood there, realizing that the man really saved him because he induced (引诱) him to try his best and save himself.“I should be thankful and not angry.”36. From the story we know that the sweetest mango must be the one _.A. on the very top of a treeB. hidden in the middle of a treeC. on the tree for the longest time D. exposed to sunlight less often37. What happened after he had picked a few sweet reddish mangoes?A. He slipped and fell to the ground suddenly.B. He was climbing down quickly but carefully.C. He remained hanging helplessly on the tree. D. He shouted loudly for help but no one helped.38. How did the man feel when the sage hit him with a stone?A. He was nervous.B. He kept silent.C. He felt surprised.D. He was angry.39. What do you think motivated (caused) the man to climb down?A. Courage.B. Revenge.C. Carefulness.D. Assistance.40. What does the story imply?A. Anger saves ones life.B. Wisdom does count (很重要).C. Skill and strength count.D. Anger is the biggest enemy.DFear and its companion pain are two of the most useful things that men and animals possess, if they are properly used. If fire did not hurt when it burnt, children would play with it until their hands were burnt away. Similarly, if pain existed but fear didnt, a child would burn himself or herself again and again, because fear would not warn himself or herself to keep away from the fire that had burnt himself or herself before. A really fearless soldierand some do exist is not a good soldier because he is soon killed; and a dead soldier is of no use to his army. Fear and pain are therefore two guards without which men and animals might soon die out. In our first sentence we suggested that fear should be properly used. If, for example, you never go out of your house because of the danger of being knocked down and killed in the street by a car, you are letting fear rule you too much. Even in your house you are not absolutely safe: an aero plane may crash on your house, or ants may eat away some of the beams in your roof so that the latter falls on you, or you may get cancer!The important thing is not to let fear rule you, but instead to use fear as your servant and guide. Fear will warn you of dangers; then you have to decide what action to take. In many cases, you can take quick and successful action to avoid the danger. For example, you see a car coming straight towards you. Fear warns you, you jump out of the way, and all is well.In some cases, however, you decide that there is nothing that you can do to avoid the danger. For example, you cant prevent an aero plane crashing onto your house. In this case, fear has given you its warning; you have examined it and decided on your course of action, so fear of this particular danger is no longer of any use to you, and you have to try to overcome it.41. Children would play with fire until their hands were burnt away if .A. they were given no warning beforehandB. they had never burnt themselvesC. they had no sense of painD. they were fearful of the fire42. A really fearless soldier . A. is of great use to the army B. is not a real soldier C. is nothing but a dead soldier D. easily gets killed in a battle43. Fear should be used properly because . A. an aero plane may crash onto your house B. you may get cancer C. fear can only be used as a servant and guide D. people are now letting fear rule them too much44. People sometimes succeed in timely avoiding the danger because . A. they have gained experience B. they jump out of the way in time C. they are calm in the face of danger D. they are warned of the danger by fear and take quick action45. Whats the writers suggestion when danger cant be avoided? A. You have to try to overcome it. B. Fear can really help you to run away. C. Fear always helps you stay safe. D. Fear is of great use to you.第二节 信息匹配（共5小题，每小题分，共1分）阅读下列应用文及相关信息，并按照要求匹配信息。请在答题卡上将对应题号的相应选项字母涂黑。注：如果答案是E，请在答题卡把A,B两个字母涂黑，如果答案是F，请在答题卡上把C, D两个字母涂黑。 以下是6条有关颜色偏好和性格关系的描述。AGOLDPeople who choose GOLD as their primary color like to fit in or belong.
