From the first day your pronunciation will be excellent. Just send” and so on? Of course, it never happens quite like that. The only language that is easy to learn is ones mother tongue. And think how much practice that gets! Before the Second World War people usually learnt a foreign language in order to read the literature of the country. Now speaking a foreign language is what most people want. Every year millions of people start learning one. How do they do it? Some people try at home, with books and records of tapes; some use radio or television programmes; some use computers and network; others go to evening classes. If they use the language only 2 or 3 times a week, learning it will take a long time, like learning a foreign language at school. A few people try to learn a language fast by studying for 6 or more hours a day. It is clearly easier to learn the language in the country where it is spoken. However, most people cannot afford this, and for many it is not necessary. They need the language in order to do their work better. For example, scientists and doctors chiefly need to be able to read books and reports in the foreign language. Whether the language is learnt quickly or slowly, it is hard work. Machines and good books will help, but they cannot do the students work for him. 21.According to some advertisements, you _. A. have to pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks B. will be paid much money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks C. must pay your money if you cannot master a foreign language in 6 weeks D. neednt pay you money if you cannot learn a foreign language in 6 weeks 22.Now most people try to learn a foreign language in order to _. A. read the literature of the country B. do their work better C. read books and reports D. go to foreign countries 23.Learning a foreign language is a hard job _. A. only for scientists and doctors B. only for the students at school C. for those people at home D. for most people B If you go into the woods with your friends, stay with them. If you dont, you may get lost. If you do get lost, this is what you should do. Sit down and stay where you are. Dont try to find your friends let them find you. You can help them to find you by staying in one place. There is another way to help your friends or other people nearby to find you. Give them a signal by shouting or whistling three times. Stop. Then shout or whistle three times again. Any signal given three times is a call for help. You will be helped by others. Keep up the shouting or whistling, always three times together. When people hear you, they will know that you are not just making noise for fun. They will let you know they have heard your signal. They will give two shouts, two whistles or two gunshots. When a signal is given twice, it is an answer to a call for help. If you dont think that you will get help before night comes, try to make a little house and cover up the holes with branches with lots of leaves and grass. What should you do if you get hungry or need to drink some water? You should have to leave your little branch house to look for a brook. Dont just walk away. Pick off small branches and drop them as you walk so that you can find your way back. The most important thing to do when you are lost is stay in one place. 24. How do you let people believe that you are not just making noise for fun? A. Stop now and then.B. Go on shouting or whistling. C. Shout or whistle three times once a while . D. Shout over and over at the top of voice. 25. If nobody answers you after your signal, what should you do then? A. Give two gunshots.B. Make a house. C. Stop shouting. D Shout louder. 26. If you feel thirsty when you are lost in the forest, what should you do? A. Go to find a brook and leave marks behind you B. Light a fire and make yourself some tea C. Go and find a brook. D. Find something to hold the water. 27. Whats the best title for the passage? A. What Do Three Shots and Two Shots Mean In A Forest B. How To Find Your Friends When You Are Lost In The Woods C. What To Do If You Get Lost In A Forest D. The Most Important Thing To Do Is To Stay In One Place C People seem to have a natural need for friends and with good reason. Friends increase your enjoyment of life and relieve feelings of loneliness. They even can help reduce stress and improve your health. Having good friends is especially helpful when you are going through any kind of hard time such as when you are experiencing anxiety, panic attacks, or depression. When you are with good friends you feel good about yourself, and you are glad to be with them. A friend is someone who you like, respect, and trust, and who likes, respects and trusts you doesnt always understand you, but accepts and likes you as you are, even as you grow and change allows you the space to change, grow, make decisions, and even make mistakes listens to you and shares with you both the good times and the bad times respects your need for secrets, so you can tell them anything lets you freely express your feelings and emotions without judging, teasing, or criticizing you accepts the limitations you have put on yourself and helps you to remove them A person once said, “Friendship is a continuing source of bonding（连接）, releasing, and creating in yourself and with the other person. There is an emotional bond between the two people.” A good friend or supporter may or may not be the same age or the same sex as you, and may not have the same educational, cultural, or religious background, or share interests that are similar to yours. Friendships also have different depths. Some are closer to the heart and some more superficial, but theyre all useful and good. 28. Which of the following is NOT a function of a friend? A. He brings you some happiness. B. He helps you feel less lonely. C. He helps you get over the difficulties. D. He helps you cheat on the exam. 29. The underlined word “superficial” means _. A. shallow B. hard C. deep D. close 30. Which is the best title for the passage? A. How to Get on with Your Friend B. What Kind of Person A Friend Should Be C. To Be A Good Friend D. A Friend in Need Is A Friend Indeed D Shopping is not as simple as you may think! There are all sorts of tricks at play each time we reach out for that particular brand of product on the shelf. Colouring, for example, varies according to what the producers are trying to sell. Health foods are packaged in greens, yellows or browns because we think of these as healthy colours. Ice cream packets are often blue and expensive goods, like chocolates, are gold or silver. When some kind of pain killer was brought out recently, researchers found that the colours turned the customers off because they made the product look weak and ineffective. Eventually, it came on the market in a dark blue and white packageblue because we think of it as safe, and white as calm. The size of a product can attract a shopper. But quite often a bottle doesnt contain as much as it appears to. It is believed that the better-known companies spend, on average, 70 percent of the total cost of the product itself on packaging! The most successful producers know that its not enough to have a good product. The founder of Pears soap, who for 25 years has used pretty little girls to promote (推销) their goods, came to the conclusion: “Any fool can make soap, but it takes a genius to sell it.” 31Which of the following may trick a shopper into buying a product according to the text? A. The colour of its package B. The price of the product. C. The cost of its package. D. The brand name of the product. 32The underlined part “the colours turned the customers off” (in Para.3) means that the colours _. A. attracted the customers strongly B. caused the customers to lose interest C. tricked the customers into shopping D. had weak effects on the customers 33Which of the following is the key to the success in product sales? A. The way to promote goods. B. The discovery of a genius. C. The brand name used by successful producers D. The team to produce a good product. 34According to the passage, which of the following statement is true? A. Making soap is so easy that any fool in the world can make it. B. Greens, yellows or browns are considered to be healthy colours. C. 25 years ago, the founder of Pears soap was a pretty girl herself. D. The size of a product can have an effect on the shoppers. 35Which of the following would be the best title for this text? A. Choice of Good Products B. Disadvantages of Products C. Effect of Packaging on Shopping D. Brand Names and Shopping Tricks 第二节（共 5 小题；每小题 2 分，满分 10 分） 根据短文内容，从短文后的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。 Five steps to better handwriting Some kids love handwriting, but others hate when its time to put their pen to paper. Maybe they are worried about their handwriting. Are you one of them? 36 Here are five steps that really work! Get a great grasp Try this hold your pencil at the top and try to write your name. Pretty hard? But when you hold your pencil the correct way, writing is much easier. 37 Hold it in place with your thumb, and your index (食 指) and middle fingers. Let the lines be your guide Lined paper is your friend! Those lines can help you create letters that are the right size and proportion (均衡). 38 Also be sure to fill up the lined space completely. Those capital letters should be from the bottom line to the top one. Slow down If your writing is hard to read, try slowing down a little. If you rush, its hard to control where you stop and start your letters. Lower the pressure (压力) 39 That makes it harder to make the smooth lines. Try easing up and dont hold the pencil too tightly. 40 Lots of games require you to write or draw pictures. So even though its not schoolwork, youre still using the skills you need to control your pen better. A. Play games B. Ask for more advice C. So “a” should be half the height of a capital “A”. D. Youve been writing since you were a little kid. E. Some kids press down really hard when they write. F. The good news is that just about everyone can improve their handwriting. G. The best way to hold a pen or pencil is to let it rest next to the base of your thumb. 完形填空（共 20 小题；每小题 1.5 分，满分 30 分） 阅读下面短文，从短文后各题所给的四个选项（A、B、C 和 D）中，选出可以 填入空白处的最佳选项。 As a young boy my family was very poor.

Compared with other forms of writing, it is shorter and takes 62 (little) time. It can help us to develop the habit of thinking in English. If we persist (坚持) in this practice, gradually well learn how to express ourselves in English. In keeping a diary in English, we certainly run up against many 63 (difficult). Firstly, it often happens that we have trouble 64 (find) appropriate words and phrases to give expression to our mind. Secondly, there 65 (be) many idiomatic ways of saying things in Chinese.

Whenever something beats us, we can first put it down in our notebook and then consult our dictionary. We can also ask our English teacher 68 help, if necessary. In short, I believe that it is 69 great use to keep a diary in English for the 70 (develop) of our writing skills. 单词拼写：(10 分) 根据首字母或汉语注释写出单词的正确形式，并将答案填写到题中的相应位置。 71.
