When a person does a certain thing again， he is driven by some unseen force to do the same thing repeatedly， then a habit is formed. Once a habit is formed， it is difficult， and sometimes impossible， to get rid of. It is therefore very important that we should pay great attention to the formation of habits. Children often form bad habits， some of which remain with them as long as they live. Older persons also form bad habits lasting as long as they live， and sometimes become ruined by them. There are other habits which， when formed in early life， are of great help. Many successful men say that much of their success has something to do with certain habits in early life， such as early rising， honesty and so on. Among the habits which children should not form are laziness， lying， stealing and so on. These are all easily formed habits. Unfortunately older persons often form habits which could have been avoided(避免). We should keep away from(远离) all these bad habits， and try to form such habits as will be good for ourselves and others.21._ are formed little by little . A.Good habits B. Bad habits C. Both good habits and bad habits D. Either good habits or bad habits22. The underlined word “them” in the first paragraph refers to_.A. bad habits B. good habits C. children D. other persons 23. Generally speaking， its difficult for one_ and easy for them _which should be avoided.A. to form bad habits； to form good habits B.to form good habits； to form bad habitsC.to form such habits as will be good ； to get rid of bad habitsD.to get rid of bad habits； to form good habits BHave you ever thought about your body changes？ Up to about the age of eight or nine， girls and boys look quite alike. They have similar shaped bodies(形体相似) and their voices sound almost the same. As they grow， all their organs(器官) grow， too.At the same time after the age of ten， often at eleven or twelve， boys and girls bodies start changing. This time of change is called puberty. The changes mean their bodies are getting ready so that theyll be able to have children when theyre older.The changes dont happen to everyone at the same time. Each person has his or her body-changing timetable. By the time they are eighteen， they should be complete. Girls start changing some years sooner than boys. Until theyre fifteen or so， they grow faster than boys of the same age. As years go by， boys can catch up and grow taller and stronger. Girls grow taller and heavier as well， their faces and breasts(胸部) become fuller. As well as all the changes you can see happening， other important changesones you cant seeare happening inside your body at the same time.24. Boys and girls _up to about the age of eight or nine.A.have almost the same shaped bodies B.look quite different C. sound different when they speak D. change a lot25. The word “puberty” in the second paragraph means the time when_.A.your body changes from a child to an adult B. you are growing tallerC. you dont grow any more D. you are able to have children26. The changes of boys and girls bodies_.A.start when they are tall enough B. happen when they are 18C. happen at their own timetable D. start at the same time27.From the passage we learn that_.A. all the changes in puberty can be seen B. boys start changing earlier than girlsC. girls grow faster than boys D. some important changes cant be seenC There is a lake near a forest in Sweden. The water in the lake is very clear and everything is quiet and still. On the far side of the water is farmland and further away， across the field， is an old church built on a hill. It has just stopped raining. The brook flowing into the lake is full and there is still some half-melted snow from last winter on the ground. The reason the water is so clear， and everything is so quiet and still， is that most of the plants and animal life in and around the lake is dead. There are no birds because all the fish and insects， which the birds need for food， have disappeared. Many trees in the forest are losing their leaves and bark (树皮)， and are sick and dying. Others are blown down by the high winds of last winter. A farmer is working in a field planting something， but unless he plants a stronger kind of seed this year， the crop will be between 25 to 40 per cent lower than a few years ago. The stones of the old church tower are turning to powder and unless the tower is repaired soon， it will fall down. All the death and destruction in this place is caused by the smoke coming out of the factories and poisonous gases from cars and trucks. And yet this silent lake is hundreds of kilometers away from the nearest factory and highway. 28. What time of the year do you think it is？ A. Spring. B. Summer. C. Autumn. D. Winter. 29. Why are there no animals or birds in or around the lake？ Because _. A. the weather is terribly cold B. the lake is quiet C. the area is polluted D. they have all been killed30. Why does the farmer has to plant a stronger kind of seed？ Because _. A. the soil become less and less B. few plant can stand the weather there C. the water in the lake cant be used to irrigate the field D. the soil there is becoming unfit for farming31. What do you think is the best title of the passage？ A. A Beautiful Place of Interest B. A Polluted Place C. A Quiet Place in Sweden D. A Faraway Mountain AreaDWe Americans are wasteful people， not used to saving. Early settlers， our forefathers set us an example of wasting everything， for they thought natures resources were so plentiful that none of them ever imagined that natural materials would be used up in time. Within a few years of the first Virginia settlement， for example， pioneers burned down their house when they were ready to move west. They burned down their house with only one aim to get the nails (钉子) for future use . No one ever gave a thought to the priceless hard woods that went up in smoke. As a people we destroy many valuable things that other people save. I noticed this when I was living in Britain. I received a letter from one Englands largest banks. It was enclosed in a used envelope that had been readdressed to me. Such a practice would be unthinkable in the United States. American banks， even the smallest， always use expensive stationery( 信笺) with the names of all twenty-eight vice-presidents lists on side of the page.32. The writer thought their forefathers_.A. set a good exampleB. wasted many natural resourcesC. knew natural resources would be used up in timeD. made the best use of natural materials33. The used envelope suggests that_ A. the English look down upon the Americans B. the English banks are very poor C. the English try their best to save D. the English like using used envelopes34. Which of the following statements is wrong？ A. The writer lives in Britain now. B. The American banks use expensive stationery，.C. The Americans are not used to saving.D. The writers forefathers burned down their houses in order to get the nails.35. The purpose of the passage is to _.A. wish the Americans not to wasteB. tell us the English are a good peopleC. warn the Americans against saving D. encourage people to work hard第二节(共5小题：每小题2分，满分10分)根据短文内容，从选项中选出能填入空白处的最佳选项。选项中有两项为多余选项。 Dear Sir， I have to travel every day from So UK Road to the airport. Two buses travel along this route: No.49 and No.16. However， by the time No.16 reaches So UK Road， it is always full. 36 The timetable states that there are buses from So UK Road to the airport every ten minutes. 37 The instructions state that if there are empty seats on a bus， the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting. 38 The instructions state that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday， I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. 39 There were 129 of them. Clearly printed on the back of every bus is a sign that says “Maximum speed: 50mph.” 40 Saturday morning a No. 49 bus traveled the distance in ten minutes， at an average speed of 60 mph. At times it must have done at least 80 or even 90 mph. It is obvious that our bus companies have neither respect for the instructions nor consideration for their passengers. Can nothing be done about this？A. I counted the other passengers as they got off.B. Is there anything we can do to change this？C. The problem is that we have to pay more for our trip.D. The distance from So UK Road to the airport is 10 miles E. This leaves No.49 to sometimes have empty seats on it.F. If this is so， why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day？G. Why is it that half-empty buses go straight past me when I am standing at the bus stop？第三部分 英语知识运用(共两节，满分45分)第一节 完形填空(共20小题；每小题1.5分，满分30分)Several months ago I was involved in a car accident.
