There were several kids in my class, all with different disabilities, but I still remember two of them today. Ones name was Jim and the others was John. They were brothers and both of them had some sort of muscular disease. They both had to sit in wheelchairs, but they had personality. I remember that they used to bring rock and roll tapes to class with them. They became really excited and happy when they would play the music that we all enjoyed it, especially if I hadt heard of that particular band. Then we became good friends.When it came time to graduate, we were all trying to decide who to walk with when we received our diplomas(文凭) during the ceremony. I chose to ask my disabled friend Jim to be my partner. He was so excited that his eyes filled with tears. I thought more about the walk than the diploma itself. And as I walked next to Jim in his wheelchairs, he received cheers from a hall full of people. I was so proud of him.I got a card from Jim soon afterwards, thanking me for the care and help that I had given to them both. Jim died soon after graduation. I attended his funeral（葬礼）, along with our high school headmaster. I still have Jims card to this day, and I value it more than anything I own. I might have been Jims only friend, and Im delighted to be a friend to him and to put a smile on his face.24. According to paragraph 1, we can infer that_A. the author was also a disabled manB.

I ran to my father with tears in my eyes.He listened to me quietly, then he asked. “Are the things she says true or not? Janet, didnt you ever wonder what youre really like ? Well, you now have that girls opinion. Go and make a list of everything she said and mark the points that are true. Pay no attention to the other things she said.”I did as he told me. To my great surprise, I discovered that about half the things were true. Some of them I couldnt change (like being very thin), but a good number I couldand suddenly I wanted to change. For the first time I go to fairly clear picture of myself.I brought the list back to Daddy. He refused to take it. “Thats just for you,” he said. “You know better than anyone else the truth about yourself. But you have to learn to listen, not just close your ears in anger and feeling hurt. When something said about you is true, youll find it will be of help to you. Our world is full of people who think they know your duty. Dont shut your ears.

Secondly, we must be able to speak it ourselves, correctly with confidence(自信) and without hesitation (犹豫). Thirdly, we must be able to write it. We must be able to make sentences that are correct in grammar.There is no short way to succeed in language learning. A good memory is a great help, but it is not enough only to memorize the rules from a grammar book. It is no much use learning by heart long lists of words and their meanings, studying the dictionary and so on. We must learn by using the language. If we are pleased with a few rules we have memorized, we are not really learning the language. We must “Learn through use”. Practice is important. We must practise speaking and writing the language whenever we can.32. The most important things to learn a foreign language are .A. understanding and speaking B. hearing, speaking, reading and writingC. writing and understanding D. memorizing and listening33.

Writing.34. “Learn through use” means.A. we use a language in order to learn itB. we learn foreign language in order to use itC. we can learn a language well while we are using itD. both B and C35.One can never learn a foreign language well only by_.A.much practice B.studying the dictionaryC.learning through use D.using the language七选五（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。Recently some American scientists have given a useful piece of advice to people in industrialized(工业化的) nations. They say people should eat more of the same kind of food eaten by humans living more than 10,000 years ago. 36_The scientists say that the human life has changed greatly. Our bodies have not been able to deal with these changes in lifestyle and this had led to new kinds of sicknesses. 37 So they are called diseases of civilization(文明，文化). Many cancers and diseases of the blood system are examples of such diseases.Scientists noted that people in both the Old Stone Age and the New Stone Age enjoyed very little alcohol or tobacco, probably none. 38 However, a change in food is one of the main differences between life in ancient times and that of today.Stone Age people hunted wild animals for their meat, which had much less fat than domestic(驯养的) ones. They ate a lot of fresh wild vegetables and fruits. They did not have milk or any other dairy products, and they made very little use of grains. _39 We eat six times more salt than our ancestors. We eat more sugar. We eat twice as much fat but only one third as much protein and much less vitamin C.40 But scientists say that we would be much healthier if we eat much the same way the ancient people did, cutting the amount of fatty, salty and sweet food.AStone Age people lived a simple life.BBut today, we enjoy eating a lot of these.CIn that case, they would live much healthier.DAncient people also got lots of physical exercise.EThese new sicknesses were not known in ancient times.FPeople today probably dont want to live like our ancestors.GModern people used to suffer from diseases of civilization.完型填空（每小题1.5分，共30分）阅读下面短文，撑握其大意，然后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。 A friend of mine met with an accident driving in darkness.
